Chapter 14: World Map
Funing Temple.
"Holy Lord, the queen mother is just infected with the wind and cold, and there is no big problem. Weichen prescribes a few pairs of medicines to dispel wind and cold, and he can be cured in three days. It's just that these days, pay attention to keep warm and don't blow the wind. The imperial doctor finished taking the pulse, stood up and said.
"Holy Lord, the concubine doesn't want to drink medicine." Empress Xiang took off the towel on her head, sat up, and said weakly.
I was busy all night last night, and after returning to the palace, Empress Xiang had a fever. In this era, there was no thermometer, and it was not known how many degrees it burned. But his lips were dry and he fainted. This made Zhao Ji nervous, when Zhao Ji was sick, Queen Xiang took good care of him.
"The medicine is ready. If you are not in good health, don't brace hard. Li Peiling took the palace maid's medicine and sent it over.
"I was busy all night last night, and Concubine Li is also tired, let's go make up for sleep! I'll just have it here. Zhao Ji hurriedly took the medicine and said to Li Peiling.
Although Li Peiling has a good heart and cares about people, she is very straightforward, and she is not the same kind of person as Queen Xiang. Zhao Ji hurriedly took her away, afraid that she would irritate Queen Xiang again.
"Hui'er, I have a fever, how can I not drink medicine? In three days, it will be fine. Zhao Ji hugged Queen Xiang in his arms and carefully blew the medicine cold.
This medicine is a fever reducer and is very bitter. In this day and age, there is no way. It is no wonder that the childish Queen Xiang refused to drink the medicine.
Empress Xiang looked at Zhao Ji's considerate appearance, gritted her teeth, and drank it in one gulp. However, maybe I drank too quickly, maybe the medicine was too bitter, or I had a fever and nausea, and I vomited all the medicine again. It sprayed directly on Zhao Ji's face.
The palace maids were startled, this queen was too willful, just forget it if she didn't drink it, and sprayed the medicine on her face. No matter how considerate the Holy One is, he will be angry! But the palace maid who was waiting to watch the play did not get her wish.
"Go get some frosting." Zhao Ji wiped his face with his hand, patted the queen's back with his hand, and instructed the palace maid.
Frosting, similar to the current rock sugar. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the sugar production was not high, and the frosting was only a luxury and very expensive. It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that it was slowly popularized. Wang Zhuo, a native of Suining during the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote a monograph "Frosting Spectrum" that summarized the production of sucrose, which described in detail the complete set of techniques for the production of frosting in Suining at that time. This technology was later popularized, and a lot of sugarcane was also cultivated in the Liangguang area. As a result, frosting has become a modern candy and is the favorite thing of folk children.
"Come, put the icing in your mouth, and it won't be bitter." Zhao Ji picked up the icing with his fingers and gently put it into Empress Xiang's mouth.
Xiang Queen, her eyes shining with tears, hugged Zhao Ji tightly.
"Okay, get some sleep, and you'll be fine." Zhao Ji asked Empress Xiang to lie down.
"Holy Lord, don't go." After Zhao Ji covered the quilt for the queen, Queen Xiang suddenly stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Ji.
"Hui'er, I won't leave." Zhao Ji said comfortingly, while taking the wet towel and putting it on Empress Xiang's forehead.
Zhao Ji didn't sleep another morning, and changed the towels for Empress Xiang from time to time. When Empress Xiang burned down, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps because he was afraid of snubbing Queen Xiang, Zhao Ji spent most of the next three months with Queen Xiang. Generally, once in ten days, I go to the forbidden army camp with Li Peiling, and then go to the Li family horse farm to see the training of the army, have a meal with the soldiers, and listen to the voices of the soldiers. The golden fire cavalry of the Li family horse farm is now almost in the hands of General Luo Hao and the great guide Li Zhanma.
Even if you accompany it, you have to find something to do, otherwise you will inevitably use your brain. Queen Xiang, Concubine Zhu, and Concubine Chen, these three people want to tempt Zhao Ji from time to time. was very dissatisfied with Zhao Ji's immobile womanhood, and even asked the imperial doctor to treat Zhao Ji and prescribe medicine in that area. Even the two palace mothers were alarmed, urging from time to time, saying something like the East Palace has no owner.
Zhao Ji has a hard time, it's not that he's not interested in women, it's that he's not interested in little girls. But in this era, the little girls are married, and the big girls are even more difficult to find. Besides, now having four wives is enough of a headache, and if you are still looking for it, it is asking for hardship.
Voluntarist philosophers, the doctrines of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche in Germany, Zhao Ji agrees with some places. As Nietzsche said, "I don't refuse, but I hate to beg." A man should not just be an animal that is subordinate to the lower body, but should be a superman. "Like Schopenhauer's" ** is a part of the spirit, and if you shoot out a part of the **, you lose a part of the spirit. Only fools seek sensual pleasures, for their spirits are empty, like the walking dead, and there is no other pursuit. ”
What are you looking for to do? Draw a map of the world! Zhao Ji wanted to use the memories of later generations, plus collect some current information, to draw a map of the world in the Xining period.
Although Zhao Ji did not learn painting in his later life, he had the ability of Zhao Ji before this life. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, the former Zhao Ji knew everything, and he was not shallow, and he was really a literati emperor and a painter emperor.
In the past, Zhao Ji's calligraphy was taught by the famous calligrapher Mi Di in the Northern Song Dynasty. Of course, this ability may not be anything in this life, after all, there are many literati in the Song Dynasty, but if it is put in the later generations, I am afraid that it will be an expert. Ancient times also have the advantages of ancient times!
After the painting is completed, let the three embroidery masters of Queen Xiang, Concubine Zhu and Concubine Chen make a large embroidery.
In this way, let the three of them get busy, and they won't trouble Zhao Ji. This busy, that is, for three months, Zhao Ji is mixed with his four wives all day long.
Although Zhao Ji has a map of the world in the Northern Song Dynasty in his memory, he does not dare to confirm it. Li Peiling, who had been to Dashi and was doing business overseas, naturally became the object of Zhao Ji's consultation.
In this way, the four wives were divided into two factions, and they were jealous all day long. And seeing Li Peiling's rudeness to Zhao Ji, the three queens slowly moved closer to Li Peiling's style, at least to Zhao Ji is no longer like before, just like ***.
Still, that's fine. When Li Peiling became the object of their struggle, Zhao Ji was much easier. Because the three of them have been fighting hard, they don't believe that they will lose to Li Peiling. Embroidery is extremely hard, and this is just for Zhao Ji's praise.
In these three months, in addition to being busy with state affairs, the cabinet ministers had to carry out the appointments issued by Zhao Ji in addition to worrying about the border affairs of Western Xia. We will consolidate all the central agencies and implement a multi-ministry cabinet system.
In addition, it is necessary to discuss a plan to change the law. It is estimated that no one would have thought that being an official would be so tiring now.
In the past, some officials who were used to being loose and only knew how to drink and write poems for fun were mostly unlucky.
Zhao Ji was not transferred or demoted, and was directly dismissed and deprived of his fame. Zhao Ji's strength at least suppressed the central officials in Bianjing.
Seeing that the ministers were working hard, Zhao Ji didn't say anything more. At the court meeting, he became the nodding emperor again. Wen Yanbo presided over the cabinet, and Zhao Ji nodded in agreement with all the people to be appointed by the cabinet and what they wanted to do. The court meeting became extraordinarily quiet, except for the debriefing and debriefing. There are no more annoying arguments.
Zhao Ji said the most: "These things are decided by your cabinet, and once they are decided, they must be implemented, and I don't want to hear the opposition of hindsight." ”
What is an afterthought, the ministers did not understand, after all, chess had not yet been invented at this time. But they all understand what Zhao Ji meant, that is, when encountering problems, don't turn over old accounts, constantly oppose each other, attack each other, and shirk responsibility, but find ways to solve problems and reduce losses.
The functions of the Inspectorate have dropped a lot at once, because Zhao Ji no longer listens to their rumors and criticisms of the cabinet's decisions, but only asks them to check whether the cabinet and all the ministers have dereliction of duty, corruption, bribery, and oppression of the people. If there is, then the above-mentioned criminal department will file a case for investigation and severely punish it. If the criminal department does not convince the supervision department, and then report to Zhao Xu, Zhao Ji directly sent a guard squad to investigate.
Wende Hall, the Imperial Study.
"You faint, have you fainted? Either you don't want to die while training, or you don't practice for so long. Hurry up, this teaching will not embarrass you, one hour a day. Li Peiling suddenly walked into the imperial study and said.
Also, some time ago, I was busy drawing maps, and the names of various countries in this era were to be confirmed, so it was inevitable that Li Peiling would be asked for help. Li Peiling got busy, and she didn't care whether Zhao Ji practiced martial arts or not.
When the names of the countries are almost finalized, the outline of the world map has been formed, and Li Peiling is idle. Every day, I just sit on the side and read a book, and when I am bored, I go to the martial arts room to practice martial arts.
Maybe it's because of the long time, Zhao Ji hasn't consulted Li Peiling, and even spoke less often. Li Peiling felt uncomfortable, and came to find Zhao Ji's stubble today.
"Don't you see that the Holy One is busy? I don't know the rules, what do I look like? This is the Ouchi Palace, not the Li Family Racecourse! Xiang Empress first scolded.
Concubine Zhu and Concubine Chen also scolded and scolded in a mess. Now that the official family is here, no matter what happens, they are not afraid of Li Peiling doing something to them.
"Do you hear me, my hands are itchy, and you haven't become a pig's head for a long time." Li Peiling ignored the three queens.
Zhao Ji stood up, handed the brush to Li Xiang'an, stretched his waist, and laughed in his heart. Although Li Peiling is very proficient in cavalry combat, Zhao Ji can't beat it. But this step battle is still empty-handed, and the top ten generals raised by Zhao Ji are not Zhao Ji's opponents, not to mention Li Peiling, a weak woman. There is no power of war horses to rely on, Li Peiling, a little girl, in front of a strong man, where is there any use?
"Yes, Li Jiaoxi reminded that yes. I'm going to practice right away. Zhao Ji was still obedient.
Although Zhao Ji was depressed, he didn't want to lose his temper over trivial matters, after all, they were also thinking about themselves. Besides, always nesting, not only is it not good for your health, but it's really easy to slack off.
"It's hard for a woman to serve!" Zhao Ji was depressed in his heart.
Originally, Zhao Ji asked Li Zhanma to make several checkers out of white glass (glass). Then, he taught the two palace ladies how to play chess. This made the two palaces not urge Zhao Ji again, saying that Zhao Ji did not work hard, and the East Palace had no owner, whether it was not good in that regard. Zhao Ji's ears were calloused when he heard it, and then he thought of this method, which made the two palace mothers so happy that they didn't bother to care about Zhao Ji.
It's settled over there, and here it is again, and I don't know how much thought it takes to coax women in the palace. It's a sad day!
When glass was used in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were records of making fish tanks. Although there is no record in the Northern Song Dynasty, there should still be glass. It may be that the tile used for light transmission is less used in other aspects. This has something to do with traditional Chinese culture, transparent things are easy to leak, no porcelain is beautiful, beautiful and beautiful, etc. In ancient times, it was ridiculous to make glass and sell it well. However, if you can add asphalt and make a mirror, it may be very popular.
・・・・・・・
After three months of hard work, Zhao finally completed the world map of the Northern Song Dynasty and Xining period, called "The General Map of the Whole World Opinion". The world map was originally drawn on brocade cloth, and after embroidery depiction, it was not afraid of fading or something.
Zhao Ji also asked people to frame the world map with a shelf and make it into the style of a screen. It was placed in the Daqing Palace, so that the ministers could also see the position of the Song Dynasty in the world, so as not to be arrogant, self-deceiving, comfortable and corrupt.
