Chapter 151: Brewing (2)

Huanzhou Houya, after a month of transformation of Thirteen Niang, although it is not said to be unrecognizable, but it is really not what it used to be, especially some subtleties, full of ingenuity; As long as the lamp on the corridor gently pulls the rope, it can be raised and lowered freely, and outside the lampshade is a variety of colored paper, which becomes brilliant at night; A two-storey octagonal pavilion was built in the courtyard, there is a gourd-shaped water tank on the top, as long as the valve is opened, there will be a water line flowing down under the eaves of the second layer, such as a bead such as a curtain, the eaves of the first layer has a stone dish stretched out, the water line hits these stone dishes, splashes into layers of water mist, forms a misty smoke and rain outside the pavilion, if you sit in the pavilion in midsummer, the breeze blows, the rain is like poetry, cool and pleasant.

On the day of the completion of the pavilion, after Qing Niang tried to feel it, she happily wrote a poem "Huanxi Sha":

The idle windows of the small courtyard are deep, the heavy curtains are not rolled up and the shadows are deep, and the building is speechless.

Yuanxiu out of the mountain to urge the twilight, the breeze and rain make the light shade, and the pear blossoms are afraid of thanks.

This "Huanxi Sha" Yang Yi let people engrave on the pillars of the pavilion in cursive script of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing, and the inscription is Yi'an Jushi, which is the first time that Qing Niang uses this name, and Huanzhou Houya has also had another name since then: Yi'anju.

Such a transformation, everywhere, Thirteen Niang is busy and happy, Qing Niang is happy, from time to time to put pen to the fruit of Thirteen Niang's labor attached a poem, ink rhyme, the size of the two beauties completely forgot that this is the bitter cold land in the northwest, even Su Dongpo listened to Qing Niang's boast, couldn't help but come over to enjoy it.

Although Yang Yi does not allow others to challenge his authority as the governor, but since he arrived in Huanzhou, his focus has been on the military, and the civil affairs are mostly handled by Su Dongpo.

Like the arrival of Zhang Kai (pronounced Jie) this time, a discerning person knows at a glance that it is for military affairs, Zhang Kai is a slight pacification envoy on the Jingyuan Road, and the civil affairs cannot control Huanzhou, and only the military side needs to coordinate with each other.

Therefore, Su Dongpo did not come forward to receive Zhang Ji.

Zhang Qi is a legend!

He is of the same clan as Zhang Tun, and his family's branch made his fortune earlier than Zhang Tun's, his grandfather Zhang Pin was a Beijing official in the Zhenzong Dynasty, but Zhang Pin and Zhang Xian's Empress Dowager Liu E did not deal with each other very well, and was kicked back to his hometown, so Zhang Qi did not have the grace to be reliable, and he could only pass the test again.

It's nothing, the last thing the Zhang family is afraid of is the exam, like the stubborn old man of Zhang, the first time he was admitted to the Jinshi, because his ranking was lower than his nephew, he insisted on taking the exam for the second time, except for the Zhang family, no one would do this?

He went to the capital to prepare for the exam, and seeing that the date of the big exam was less than two days, the unfortunate news suddenly came that his father was falsely accused in Weizhou and imprisoned.

Zhang Qi didn't say a word, and immediately decided to go to Weizhou to help his father fight the lawsuit, for Zhang Qi's decision, friends and teachers are full of regrets, because the exam date is two days away, although Weizhou is not too far from Tokyo, but counting the time back and forth, as well as the litigation process of the lawsuit, Zhang Qi don't count on this section, Zhang Xiaozi, may the Lord bless you, Amen!

Everyone watched Zhang Qi leave Beijing with pity, and what surprised everyone was that Zhang Qi not only rushed back before the exam, but also successfully helped his father clear his grievances.

The worse is still to come, Zhang Qi returned to the capital, he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water, and directly entered the examination room, killing all the way, and he was killed by him to take the first place in the Ministry of Rites exam.

You are in the capital to stab the hanging beam, study day and night, Zhang Qi traveled thousands of miles to save his father, and was admitted to the Jinshi part-time while being a lawyer, and also took the first place in the Ministry of Rites exam, such a good person! In addition to a thumbs up! What else can you say!

Such a cow man, after the emergence of the office, is naturally rising step by step, but unfortunately, the Zhang family seems to be born with women, his grandfather and Zhang Xian Empress Dowager Liu E don't have a hard time, to Zhang Qi, and met the Empress Dowager Xuanren Gao Tao, still can't do Wang Ba look at mung beans, it's really not eye-catching.

I don't have to say that Zhang Ji, who had a promising future, was kicked to Gyeongju.

But as long as it is gold, it will shine everywhere, after Zhang Ji arrived in Gyeongju, he defeated the Empress Dowager of Xixia Liang with 10,000, from this point of view, the fortune of the Zhang family and women has not changed, but as soon as it is transferred abroad, it is no longer a lady Kezhang family, but a lady of the Zhang family.

It's a pity that the head of the Great Song Dynasty was still a woman at that time, and Zhang Ji finished the Empress Dowager Liang of Western Xia, and she was "ke" by the Empress Dowager Xuanren to squat in the south.

Such a legendary figure, Yang Yi is naturally very interested, in the study of the back office, after Qing Niang finished tea, she also obediently withdrew, leaving Yang Yi and Zhang Qi sitting opposite each other in the room, Zhang Yi is in his sixties, a little thin, but he is not like Zhang Di, on the surface, you can feel the sharp edges and corners, Zhang Qi looks very easy-going at first glance, and it is only his heart that is resolute.

Zhang Qi took a sip of tea, moistened his mouth and said: "Let it be, the battle of Qinggangxia is probably not like the legend outside, right?" ”

Yang Yi smiled, as if he said out of bounds: "The Liang family has been at the peak of power for decades in Western Xia, but for the party members, the Liang family has always been an outsider, therefore, although the Liang family is at the peak of power in Western Xia, it lacks the foundation of the lower level, and the only way for the Liang family to keep the power in their hands is to fiercely suppress the party and eliminate those who dare to stand out and challenge their authority. Western Xia is not far from the destruction of the country, this conclusion, I don't know if the chapter is slightly so? ”

"So let Liang Gefang go, and at the same time want to turn him into a sharp blade hanging over the heads of party members?"

Yang Yi expected that this matter could be concealed from others, and he couldn't hide it from a bull like Zhang Qi, so he didn't defend it, and then said: "Between the Song Liaoxia and the Tubo tribes, the Western Xia is like a stick to stir up, stirring up the peace of the countries, and within the Western Xia, the Liang family is a-stirring stick in the Western Xia. ”

This point Zhang Qi naturally understands, of course, if the Liang family wants to run rampant in Western Xia, they must constantly transfer domestic contradictions to the outside, and the best way is to wage war against the Great Song Dynasty, so that it can not only please the Liao State, but also transfer domestic contradictions, which is also the reason why the Western Xia invaded the Song Dynasty five or six times a year during the nine years of Yuan You.

"Ren Zhi's idea is in favor of the official, but how to let the Liang family continue to stir up trouble in Western Xia, and block the invasion that will continue to be launched when he is in power, what is Ren Zhi's strategy for dealing with this?"

"Zhang Jingluo is slightly older than side affairs, and there must be a bamboo in his chest, and the lower officials want to listen to Zhang Jingluo's high opinion first."

Zhang Qi came to Huanzhou, the time was in a hurry, so he no longer shirked, spread out the map, pointed to the line of Hengshan and said: "Let it see, between Song and Xia, who can control Hengshan, can hold the danger, or condescendingly attack, now Hengshan is controlled by Western Xia, if we want to continue to encroach on Western Xia, we must first control Hengshan, if you want to enter Hengshan, the best way is to build more forts, take these forts as a base, slowly advance, and encroach step by step, but it is not wise to build forts everywhere. ”

When Zhang Qi said this, he looked at Yang Yi, and Yang Yi said: "Therefore, we can only build in a valuable strategic place, and then use this as a breakthrough to slowly dig up the embankment of Hengshan!" ”

"Not bad!" Zhang Ji happily asked: "I don't know what to think, where is the most suitable breakthrough?" ”

Yang Yi understood why Zhang Qi, as a strategic envoy of Jingyuan Road, came to find him in person, on the border line of Song and Xia, if he wanted to find the most ideal breakthrough, it was the passage of the Hulu River on Jingyuan Road.

The area of Wuyan Gorge on the first line of the Hulu River is located in the key chong, with Xingling in the east and Tiandu in the west, and is on the verge of the Hulu River, which is the main road that the soldiers must fight.

This passage is not only a shortcut for the Xia army to invade the Great Song Dynasty, once the Great Song Dynasty can control this passage, it can in turn insert a knife in the heart of Western Xia.

Because the Western Xia will never allow such a thing to happen, once Zhang Qi is built, it will definitely attract the whole army of the Western Xia, just like the Great Song Dynasty built Yongle City on the Wuding River, Yongle City is only aimed at the Yin, Xia and other states of the Western Xia, and it will attract 300,000 troops from the Western Xia to attack.

Now to build a city on the front line of the Hulu River, it is much more ruthless, this is to put the knife directly on the heart of Lingzhou and Xingzhou, what is the reaction of Xixia, don't think about it, I am afraid that it is not 300,000 Xia troops who have come back, and probably the party members who have not yet been weaned will dance with knives and guns, and go out together.

As soon as Yang Yi's gaze fell on the area of Wuyan Gorge, Zhang Ji couldn't help but show a faint smile, maybe this is the feeling of sympathy!

Yang Yi's finger finally landed on the edge of Wuyan Gorge, and said to Zhang Qi: "Zhang Jingluo, if you want to build a city here, even if you gather the strength of my Jingyuan and Huanqing roads, I am afraid it will still not be possible, and this requires the close cooperation of the entire northwest road." ”

"What Ren Zhi said is very true, and that's why I came to Ren Zhi."

Such a major event related to the entire northwest pattern must be agreed by the imperial court before it can be implemented, Zhang Qi and Zhang Dian are their own families, and in the end, even he can't help but have to hit the idea on himself.

Yang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, unconsciously, in the eyes of others, he was also a piece of material! Not to mention the relationship with Zhang Dan, the second minister is the old man, and there is an indescribable and unclear relationship between his ancestors and grandchildren with Li Qingchen, the deputy prime minister, and whether it is with characters like Cai Jing or Fan Chunren, they also have a good relationship.

If Zhang Qi wants this major decision to be passed in the imperial court and bring Yang Yi in to the table, the success coefficient will naturally increase many times, and it is no wonder that he personally came to Huanzhou.
