In front of Xuande Gate, it is in Zha Deng Mountain.

It is necessary to tie it well, although it is not yet the time to put on the lights, there are still many viewers, and it is also a pleasure to watch the formation of the lamp mountain bit by bit.

Cui Xian also accompanied the five Niangniang to watch the Lantern Mountain, but the five Niangniang did not have much interest, staring at the busy craftsmen and ordinary people with empty eyes.

Jiang Xing'er asked in a low voice, "When will the officials come back?" ”

"Soon," Cui Xian replied in a low voice. If you can hear the good news at the end of March, if you can hear the news at the end of April, if you can hear the news by the end of April, there is no news, and the husband will die on this trip. If someone else can surrender to the Khitan, the husband is in this position now, and he would rather die than surrender to the Khitan. In fact, at this time, every day that passes, it is a painful ordeal.

Everyone was not interested, so they turned around and went home, and Lu Gongzhu was sitting at Zheng's house waiting for them to come back.

saluted first, and then said to Cui Xian: "People have already set off." ”

Cui Xian's face was relieved, this time the imperial court will be very fast, he handed over the trust Lu Gongshu to Wu Yu, Wu Yu handed it over to the emperor, and then issued an edict to let Zhang Kang come back, it only took six days before and after. She has never been to Daizhou, but she has been to the northwest, and the road from Daizhou to the capital is certainly not as far as Weizhou to the capital, but the road on Hedong Road is uneven. Looking at the palace, he whispered, "Thank you to the emperor." ”

The speed was amazingly fast, Zhao Zhen scattered, and after reading the letter, he finally understood Zheng Lang's final escape method, and felt incredible, but thinking about it, it was indeed a good way. He immediately ordered Zhang Kang to return, and selected 3,000 elite cavalry from the capital, including all the Jurchen warriors.

The depravity was not as slow as Zheng Lang imagined. The first is that a third group of people were added to enter later, which became a catfish effect, and second, they still retained their original pride, believing that they were the most powerful warriors of the Song Dynasty, and they did not relax for a while, and the third was to stay in the barracks, and the barbarism was higher than that of the later Jurchens. The contact with advanced civilization was not as fast as Zheng Lang thought. At this time, this Jurchen warrior was indeed the most powerful army of the Song Dynasty.

However, even if Zhao Zhen's edict is stamped with a jade seal, it may not be effective, and it has to be written into a formal edict by the officials of the two systems. This edict can become a real edict. If the officials of the two systems feel that it is inappropriate, they have the right to seal the prefix back, saying that the prefix is a good statement, that is, the emperor's unformed edict. This is to further supervise the imperial power and prevent the abuse of the imperial power.

There are examples of this system, not many, and it took shape in the early Tang Dynasty. The Song Dynasty flourished, and it was not really formed until the time of Zhao Zhen. First, it was given to the people in the middle of the matter and the middle school, and the result was extended to the Hanlin bachelor and the knowledge system. After reading the edict, an official of the two systems asked: "Your Majesty, why are you transferring troops?" ”

This is the strongest 3,000 iron horsemen, the country is peaceful, why is it transferred for no reason?

Zhao Zhen said lightly: "Save Zheng Lang from the sea." ”

The officials of the two systems did not ask anything, and drafted this edict into a formal edict. Mobilize troops from the capital. Zhao Zhen said coldly: "Don't leak it." ”

Who dares to leak.

Even if three thousand iron horsemen can save Zheng Lang? I don't believe it either. Could it be that Zheng Lang has a way to escape to the beach? The Khitans are not fools either.

As soon as Zhang Kang arrived in the capital, he asked Zhao Zhen to summon him into the palace, and said expressionlessly: "Zhang Qing." This is a letter from Zheng Lang's wife, Cui Niangzi, take a look. ”

As mentioned in the secret decree, Zhang Kang knew it in his heart, glanced at it again, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister must live up to Your Majesty's trust." ”

"It's windy at sea, you have to be careful."

"Yes."

"Go ahead." Zhao Zhen watched Zhang Kang leave, and he was still very nervous. Cui Xian uncovered the truth, and Zhao Zhen also knew that it was not so simple, and Zheng Lang was still very dangerous at this time. Suddenly smiled. Although Zheng Lang is really dangerous this time, his life is rich and colorful, and no one in the court can match it. Then he looked into the distance, and his smile slowly became gentle. sighed in his heart, when Taizu met Zhao Pu, Liu Bei met Zhuge Liang. Fu Jian met Wang Meng, but that's it. …,

A minister who not only gives his life for himself, but also for his daughter, what else can such a minister say?

Zhang Kang set off with three thousand iron horses, and many ministers in the capital were discussing this matter.

As puzzled as the officials of the two systems, now that the country is peaceful, what are these 3,000 strongest cavalry going east for? There was a lot of discussion. In fact, it is still to prevent someone from leaking it recklessly, not only Jia Changchao, but Zheng Lang's invisible political enemies are not absent.

As long as it is leaked, the Khitan will line everything from that side, don't say that these 3,000 people actually only take 300 Jurchen soldiers, and the other Han cavalry will confuse everyone's attention, even if you take all these 3,000 soldiers, what can you do?

The east wind is coming, and spring is returning, but people are not returning, and it is unknown.

……

The car drove through Changchun (Songyuan southwest Tahu City, not now Changchun), but also to the northeast thirty-five miles, where there is a big lake, the Khitan people call it Yuerluo (now Chagan Lake, not Du Niang moon bubble, Lao Wu almost fooled). This is the main location of the Khitan Spring Bowl.

The fish can be hooked into a large fish ocean swimming fish, cattle fish, also known as the fish, is a large carnivorous fish, the longest can reach more than five meters, weighing two tons. Not only is it shaped like a calf, but it can make a very loud sound after being frightened, like a big cow, and it can travel a mile.

In some ways, it resembles a pufferfish, with a special toxin that is more toxic than pufferfish, often poisoning nearby fish and sometimes killing itself. However, after the toxins are removed, the meat is very delicious. A small half of the Khitan spring bowl is for this kind of cattle and fish.

At the same time, there are several activity locations, mixed with the river, but mostly active in the upstream Yazi River (North Songhua River), or Changchun River (Tartlu River), generally first fish, then hunting, and finally shooting geese, as early as the beginning of the first month, as late as the beginning of February, as early as the end of March, late for the beginning of April.

This year should be relatively late.

On the second day of February, the car drove slowly towards Yuerluo.

Unfortunately, Zheng Lang fell ill on the road again. He was a literati who had lived in the south for a long time, and he couldn't adapt to the cold weather in the north, so he could understand the cold and illness. There was no way, Liao Xingzong had to order someone to put Zheng Lang in the car and pull it, he couldn't drop it halfway, Liao Xingzong was not very relieved, May was approaching, and Zheng Lang had to be optimistic. It is estimated that the Southern Dynasty will also send an envoy over soon, and then throw out the last letter, which has a process of transformation. After such a long time, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty must be suspicious, and when they see this forged edict, they will do some bad and stupid things. At that time, Zheng Lang was disheartened, and if he had to surrender, the Khitan would have to surrender.

The month of May is not too long for other accidents to happen. However, with the team, he went to Changchun Prefecture in the depths of the Khitan. Liao Xingzong's vigilance was not so high. Run, where to run?

After a while, when they arrived at Yuerluo, the ice was very thick, and they set up tents on the lake. It was getting late, and tomorrow after receiving the visit of the Jurchen chieftains, he officially hooked the fish.

Xiao Yunjin took Xiao Guanyin to the tent.

Looking at Zheng Lang's sick appearance, Xiao Yunjin said dissatisfiedly: "Zheng Qing." Is this your martial prowess? ”

Zheng Lang wanted to roll his eyes, forcibly endured it, and got up to say goodbye.

"You lie down, this palace asks you, how old are you this year, grow in the year after that, and your body will be weaker."

"Empress Dowager, between thirty and fifty men. It is when the body is at its strongest, and after fifty, the body can be called weaker and weaker. ”

"You were fifty years old. How old is she? Xiao Yunjin patted Xiao Guanyin.

"Queen Mother, can you let Little Lady Xiao avoid it." Zheng Lang was really speechless.

"Why do you want to avoid it, we Khitan women are not you Central Plains women, you don't need to be timid...... Xiao Guanyin is too young to be suitable for you, if you have the heart, this palace will choose a good woman for you. ”

Zheng Lang sweated, thinking to himself, what good woman can you pick out?

"Don't worry, think about it. May gave Hongu an answer. Xiao Yunjin said, wanting to pull Xiao Guanyin away. …,

Xiao Guanyin said angrily: "Auntie, I want to learn words." ”

"Okay, then you can stay," Xiao Yunjin didn't force her to leave, and Zheng Lang's moral exercises. This old queen mother is still very conscious, knowing that Zheng Lang will not do anything inferior to a beast.

Xiao Yunjin left, and Xiao Guanyin stuck out his tongue at her back. This little girl is ghostly, she has been pretending to be a little lady while sitting next to Xiao Yunjin just now, and she also knows that she is afraid of this fierce aunt. Zheng Lang smiled and said, "You write, I'll sit on the side and watch." ”

"Zheng Xianggong, can I ask you a question?"

"Ask."

"You want to marry me?" Xiao Guanyin asked seriously.

Zheng Lang had a big drop of sweat on his forehead, and asked rhetorically for most of the day: "Who did you listen to?" ”

"That's what everybody out there says."

"There is no such thing, it is an agreement between me and your Khitan Majesty. He thinks I can't go back to the Song Dynasty, but I'm sure I can go back to the Song Dynasty. So I don't have a marriage contract with you, you know? Xiao Guanyin is so beautiful, I will definitely find a very capable Ruyi Langjun in the future, not me, when you grow up, I will be old. Zheng Lang replied. I'm not afraid that she will tell Xiao Hui that she wants to go back to the Song Dynasty, who doesn't know? I don't have confidence in returning to the Song Dynasty, who believes it? It doesn't matter if you say it.

"That's fake?"

"It's fake."

"Oh, I write," still young, didn't understand, and began to sharpen the ink and write.

Guo Kui walked over and shook his head, if it weren't for the crazy queen mother, why would he need to make up this matter, and asked: "Zheng Xianggong, is your health better?" ”

"It's much better than yesterday, it seems that I usually eat more meat, and my body will really be stronger, and it's not easy to get sick." Zheng Lang said in a low voice: "But don't worry, it's a big deal to get up tomorrow and only look at the hooked fish, they won't come so soon, it's also very troublesome to come, the ice and snow are blocking the road, and I don't know if there is ice along the coast." ”

"My heart hangs."

"Don't worry. I'm thinking about something else. ”

"What's the matter?"

"If the people are encouraged to raise pigs, the price of pork is practiced, and there are more people who eat meat, will our Song people be stronger?"

This significance is not trivial, in terms of military discipline and fighting spirit, it is not the Tubo people, the Khitan people and the party members, but the Song people. What is weak is the physical fitness, and the civil officials created by the middle emperor are indiscriminately commanded, and the idea of stealing peace is lacking. If these four shortcomings are corrected, coupled with the huge number of troops in the Song Dynasty, it will be powerful in all directions.

"The pork flavor is too strong......

"This might work out." It is said that after castrating off the pig body, the pork will not be fishy, in fact, the pork of later generations is mostly captive, the same taste, the light taste of loose pork is very little, in fact, the northerners are used to eating beef and mutton, not used to eating pork. Zheng Lang saw many people eating pork in the south, but Cui Xian didn't let herself eat it, but after eating it a few times, it didn't taste bad. These are all minor issues, and the key is whether they can go back.

Liu Fei'er brought the tea and said, "General Guo, please use tea." ”

"Thank you Mrs. Liu," Guo Kui took the teacup and looked at this pretty little girl, she was standing on the side, she went here to stop, the two of them were not good at business, Guo Kui said nonsense: "It's so cold, I didn't expect February to come, it's still so cold here." ”

"It's colder to the north, by the way, Zhongtong, to inform the soldiers, here is sparsely populated, the mountains are big and the forests are deep, and there is often not a single family on dozens of miles. Don't walk around at will, if you get lost, you may never come back. ”

"Yes, General Guo, Zheng Xianggong is right, not only will you get lost, but it's better to be in the tent, not in the tent, it's very cold at night. As long as you get lost and can't come back at night, you can freeze to death. ”

"Okay, I'll go and inform my subordinates."

Guo Kui walked out, and Liu Fei'er asked softly, "Zheng Xianggong, are you better?" ”

Sick twice in a row, but let the four maids see the strange temper of this Song Dynasty minister. Once he fell ill, he was afraid that people would see his weak appearance, so he refused to be visited by others except for a few personal guards around him, and often the doctor did not receive him. It was not until the body gradually recovered that he received foreign visitors. …,

Several sisters muttered in private, this is called death to face and live to suffer. But other times, fortunately, he is a humble gentleman, with a gentle temper and a very polite speech. It's just not to let them sleep with them, and it also disappoints them.

Zheng Lang said: "It's much better, I'll be able to get out of bed about tomorrow." ”

"That's great, tomorrow you can see our Khitan hooked fish, the scene is spectacular."

"Oh," Zheng Lang said lightly, but there was a chill in his heart. You are Han, when did you become our Khitan. The word "we" made him think of the sixteen states of Youyun in his heart, which was not easy to recover.

After thinking about it for a while, and teaching Xiao Guanyin words for a while, Liao Xingzong broke in from outside, looked at Zheng Lang and asked, "Zheng Qing, is your body healthy?" ”

He also has a headache for Zheng Lang's body, could it be that when it gets cold in the future, he can only let him stay indoors in Youzhou?

"It's a good day, Your Majesty Xie cares."

"Zheng Qing, I usually have to wear some clothes, this is not good, after I am fished, I am still ready to be like black water."

"When is it like black water?" Zheng Lang asked lightly, but in his heart, he seemed to hear a thunderbolt.

If Liao Xingzong really plans to be like black water, there will be a big trouble.

"Ten days." Liaoxing Zongdao. He didn't expect what impact Hei Shui Luo would have on Zheng Lang, so he replied very casually.

However, Guo Kui, who was just about to enter the account, was also stunned when he heard it. (To be continued) RQ
