Chapter 540: Taifu

The little girl replied, "My name is Xiao Guanyin." ”

Zheng Lang almost lost his temper.

Fortunately, I've seen too many winds and waves, it's nothing. Strictly speaking, she was the first of the three beauties he had seen in this era.

But Xiao Hui's wife had doubts in her heart, her daughter was very beautiful, and everyone praised her, could it be that this Zheng Lang took a fancy to her? If you fancy it, it may not be a bad thing, the emperor is very important to this person, but his daughter is too young.

Zheng Lang didn't know what she was worried about, and he would vomit blood when he knew. No matter how beautiful she is, she won't be bothered by this little girl.

He was thinking about the two future works of this Lori, the first of which was "Words of the Heart Courtyard". In the future, Xiao Feng's sworn brother Yelu Hongji likes to hunt, which makes her boudoir cold, but it is not easy to say it directly, so he wrote this small order, a total of ten. The first is to sweep the palace, sweep the deep hall, and close the gold for a long time; The gossamer net is empty as a pile, and the moss is thick. Sweep the deep hall and wait for the king's banquet. The emperor is coming back and began to clean the palace, but the deep hall has been closed for a long time, covered with many cobwebs, and moss pain has grown all over the stone steps. The writing is very subtle and moving. Behind is the bed, change the incense pillow, spread the brocade quilt, hang the embroidery tent, arrange the mattress, Zhang Yao seat, light the silver lamp, light the incense burner, Zhang Ming Zheng.

Incomparably lingering and compassionate, extremely subtle. After writing, let the court musician Zhao Wei compose the tune, play the flute and play, and she played the pipa and sang by herself. When Yelu Hongji came back and listened, he was very moved. But because of the ensemble with the musicians, there were some bad rumors.

I don't know if it's true or not, but later I took pity on his talent and said that it was malicious slander, but Zheng Lang thought that it was true. This merry and talented woman, alone in the empty room, a talented, like-minded young man by his side, can there be some stories?

Then there was "Ten Fragrance Words".

It's so fragrant.

Beauty is also a delicate food, and you can't tear your clothes roughly. Hey now.

Especially a beauty like Xiao Guanyin, you have to taste it slowly.

First of all, look at the hair, the green silk is seven feet long, and pull out the inner home decoration; I don't know how to sleep on the pillow. Feel the green cloud fragrance. Look at the beauty hair like a green cloud.

Admire the hair, and then look at the milk, the red silk is strong, and the white jade light is lightly blocked; Try to open your chest and dare to dare, and you are trembling and fragrant. The red silk is too thin, and the jade body inside is white and seems to be faint, gently probing the chest. A fragrance to be able to smell. From time to time, look at some edges, not directly tear the bust, but this kind of taste.

It's not too urgent, and then to the cheeks, the smile is gone, and the lotus flower is gone; The two are always comparable, but they can be like pink cheeks. Look at the cheeks like powder. Look at the show neck again, the grub has the same feet, and the long beard learns the phoenix; Last night on the arm. It should provoke the neck incense. The neck is slender like the neck of a phoenix, and there is a faint incense powder on the arm, which should be the smell left by the beauty pillow on the arm after yesterday's pleasure.

With a little hand, the mouth is close to the fragrant lips of the beauty, and the good taste, and the words are sent out of the palace business; In the mouth of Dingzhilang, it contains a sweet mouth. Kissing again, the tongue also has a fragrance, and it is not related to the smell of alcohol. It's not lipstick; But the suspicious flowers explained, and the wind sent the fragrance.

But you can't be in a hurry, you have to taste the hands of the beauty, not only pick the forest rui, but also kiss the royal garden mulberry; Returning hand-in-hand, slender spring bamboo shoots. Hold the little hands of the beauty like bamboo shoots in your hands and play with them. I started to undress. Starting from Luo socks, phoenix boots are thrown into the seams, and Luo socks are unloaded with light frost; Who will warm white jade, carved out soft hook incense. Jin Lian's little feet should also be played.

Then untie the skirt, there is also a fragrance in the skirt, the color of the untie has trembled, and the tentacles are busier; Inside the skirt of Zhiluo, there is no fragrance for the soul. After taking off his clothes, he was full of incense, coughing up and spitting a thousand flowers, and his skin was full of harmony; It's nothing more than sinking into the water, and the body is full of incense.

This is when the offensive was officially launched......

There is not a single obscene word in the whole text, but it is ambiguous and fragrant to the extreme. …,

Some people say that it was not written by Xiao Guanyin, she is the queen, and she will never write such ambiguous words, but it is framed by political enemies, but Xiao Guanyin is careless, and thinks it is very elegant and beautiful, so he copied it on the colored silk by himself, and wrote a "nostalgia" poem at the end. Only after knowing for a month, I once peeked Feiyan into Zhaoyang. The colored silk was obtained by political opponents, resulting in his death.

The truth is unknown, if it was written by Xiao Guanyin, it must have been written to Zhao Weiyi.

Thinking of these ten incense words, Zheng Lang's eyes lingered for a moment, looking at Xiao Guanyin's hair, neck, and hands, what could be seen was like this, and the others, including the little feet, could not be seen, nor could they be seen.

Retracted his eyes and said, "Good name." ”

What a good name.

"Can I ask you something?"

"This ...... Men and women ...... "I want to say that there is a difference between men and women, but it is estimated that it will not work in Khitan, especially with this little girl, what is the difference?" He said, "If you ask your father, if you agree, you can also bring your servants to observe, for fear that you will not understand." ”

"Can I ask you if I don't understand?"

"Yes."

chatted with the little girl without a word, and the conversation made Xiao Hui's wife feel furious.

The goose hunt begins.

If you don't look at this scene, you don't know the pressure of the Jurchens.

So many nobles, each with one, or even several Haidongqing, most of them were obtained from the Jurchens, and if they wanted to bear the number of eagles of so many nobles, the pressure on the Jurchens would not be small.

The guards stood on the upper hand, beating drums and startling geese, and many swans were startled up from the reeds. Only then was Hai Dongqing released, and hundreds of Hai Dongqing flew in the sky, and the scene was very spectacular. Some catch it, some don't, and those who get the goose are rewarded. But after the goose was caught by Hai Dongqing, the goose brain was not eaten, so the goose's head was pierced with an iron cone, and the brain was taken out and given to the eagle to eat. The scene is exciting at the beginning, and when it comes to this scene, it becomes a little cruel.

After a while, the swans were scattered, the harvest gradually decreased, and began to beat the drums to collect the troops, and returned to Youzhou with the ministers' cavalry, and feasted on wine.

During the banquet, Liao Xingzong said to Zheng Lang: "King Liang wants to worship you as a teacher and learn literature and poetry, Zheng Qing, I don't know what you think?" ”

Zheng Lang was stunned.

"Zheng Qing, don't think about it, just ask you for advice."

Zheng Lang smiled bitterly in his heart, King Liang is your son, the prince of the Khitan, I am the teacher of the prince of the Khitan, and I can't think about it if I don't want to. After hesitating for a while, he said: "Yes, but the minister only occasionally learns from His Royal Highness King Liang, and the teaching cannot be mentioned, let alone in other names." ”

"Quasi," Liao Xingzong said overjoyedly.

Step by step, this Zheng Xingzhi is about to be set.

As soon as the banquet was dispersed, Liao Xingzong invited Zheng Lang to the inner palace, and a young man sat in the palace to read.

A talented woman should be matched with a talented man. Yelu Hongji's literary cultivation is also good, as for his ability to be an emperor...... Then there is no need to mention it.

I had already prepared, and when I saw Zheng Lang, Yelu Hongji congratulated him on a bowing salute.

Zheng Lang hurriedly dodged to avoid it. You bowed to me and said: "Your Highness, it's not proper, I'm young, and I'm a Song minister, and it's inconvenient to be your husband, but the minister has sent an envoy to Khitan." For the sake of reconciliation between the two countries, it is still possible to have cultural exchanges with His Highness. ”

Yelu Hongji looked at his father.

Liao Xingzong said: "Ji'er, it's okay, you just sit and listen." ”

Yelu Hongji sat down, Liao Xingzong sat on the top, Zheng Lang could only stand, looked at the father and son, and felt all kinds of bad in his heart. It is also very difficult to come to Khitan for recuperation. began to fool, but in the end it is not necessarily known who fooled whom.

Zhengse said: "The art that King Liang has learned. In the opinion of the minister, it is not poetry, but the most important thing is the way to govern the country. ”

Liao Xingzong was sitting in a precarious position, his waist straightened, and he said on the side: "Yes, Zheng Qing, please speak." ”…,

"In fact, the focus of Confucianism is to cultivate the way of self-cultivation in the country."

"Tell me about it."

Zheng Lang wanted to roll his eyes, I told it to your son, not to you. Helpless, I had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty." Confucian self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and level the world, but they have no self-cultivation, how to govern the country and level the world with their own family, this is the premise. If the family is uneasy, the heart is uneasy about the country. Secondly also. and then to governing the country. But the country cannot exist alone, and the world must be at peace. That's the ultimate goal. ”

"Isn't this peace pacifying the world?" Yelu Hongji asked puzzled.

"Definitely. Confucianism is the way of the master, the master is the Lu people, how can the power of the Lu country calm the world in the Spring and Autumn Period? As a medium-sized country, we can only hope for peace in the world. It's not pacification. And the world is so big, which country can be pacified? In Zheng Lang's heart, this peace is peace, and the mean is not written by the master, but by his descendants, and has a relationship with Lu Guomao? But this sophistry is more feasible, and the Confucianism in the Khitan is also a kind of Confucianism that is close to Mohistism, with peace and benevolence as the mainstay. The flicker begins.

Zheng Lang said again: "Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles." If you want to know the art of governing the country, you must know the environment in which the Khitan is located. ”

"What environment?" Liao Xingzong asked again, scratched his itch, picked up a chair, and said, "Zheng Qing, I appreciate you very much, give you a seat." ”

The courtesy of the monarch and the minister still has to be kept, don't really sit on Yelu Hongji, he is still in the Khitan, and all the Khitan ministers may not have a good impression of him, Zheng Lang moved the chair to the side very obediently. This small action made Liao Xingzong's eyes flash again.

is not cowardly, a cowardly minister king does not like, because it is destined to be unable to do anything. It can't be excessive, and I don't know the moderation, and this king doesn't like it even more.

Zheng Lang said: "Ancient and modern, Hu and Han are not easy to live together, without him, the Han people farm, the Hu people graze, the two lifestyles are different, so they don't get along. Therefore, when the Xiongnu were strong, they only plundered, but did not covet the Southern Dynasty. Although defeated, it was ignorant of the situation, and the demands were too much, and the Han Dynasty could not bear it. The most successful are the Xianbei people, their approach is to sinicize their own nation, and as a result, they successfully entered the Central Plains, and finally the nation disappeared. Even if the Tang Dynasty clan had Xianbei blood, they never admitted that they were Xianbei people. As for the party, are they Xianbei people? Chancellor was skeptical. ”

"Yes," Liao Xingzong Dale, at this time he hated Xixia so much that he gritted his teeth.

"The same is true when the Turks are strong, they only control the Central Plains remotely, not into the Central Plains. During Taizong's southern expedition in the Northern Dynasty, the Empress Dowager had bitterly advised that it was not easy for the Han people to live in the north, and it was not easy for the Hu people to live in the south. Taizong didn't believe it, so a human tragedy happened. ”

The faces of the father and son changed slightly, this old ancestor was eloquent and strategic, and finally died in the Central Plains, which is inevitably a little unbeautiful.

"However, because of Taizong, the Northern Dynasty found a way to govern the Hu and Han dynasties, if it is said that the Hu and Han miscellaneous governance does not lose the national nature, the best thing to do is the Northern Dynasty. However, the Northern Dynasty was dominated by the Khitan people, supplemented by the Han people, and if the territory of the Han people expanded, it was bound to be a big one. Besides, since the Yuanyuan, although some people want to continue to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, it is not the mainstream voice after all, everyone has seen the benefits of peace, and our Dynasty is also large, and it is not necessary to get the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. Besides, looking at the south side of our dynasty, whether it is Jiaozhi or Dali, the strength is weak, and there is no idea of expanding the territory, and there are strong neighbors in the north. ”

This sentence is very clever, and it is certain that our DPRK does not have too much hostility towards your country, but it has gone too far. Anything can happen.

Father and son were silent.

"The Northern Dynasty gets 500,000 a year, and the ministers have gone around in Youzhou City, and the silk of our dynasty is more than two horses in your country, which is actually one million. And the minister inquired again. The money of the three divisions of the Northern Dynasties, the miscellaneous money, the stone salt money, the money of the school affairs, the money of the department, the money of the system, about one million yuan, the household tax and rent, the official and civilian tax money is about four million yuan, the total is only about five million yuan, plus other trivial things. It's only seven or eight million yuan. ”…,

Father and son were silent again.

Zheng Lang's estimate is about the same, and the difference between it and the Song Dynasty is too far, only a dozen of it.

It was also Zheng Lang who deliberately asked, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to, this information was equally important to Zheng Lang, and he had to figure out the economic situation of the Khitan. He was disappointed. I estimated that seven or eight million guan was given face to Liao Xingzong, and it was possible that it was less. No wonder he got a million guan from the Song Dynasty and celebrated his achievements.

As a messenger. This time Zheng Lang's envoy was the most outstanding, and he received a lot of information that the Song Dynasty did not get at all.

But Liao Xingzong also has something to say in his heart, and I am not poor. What did you do with such a lot of effort to get you to the Khitan? Do you really listen to your knowledge?

Zheng Lang said again: "It's not very rich, but if you want to be rich, if you have a strategy for getting rich, you can learn some of the policies of our dynasty." ”

"What's the policy?"

"Merchant, Your Majesty, may think that merchants are only a way of selling, and it is wrong. For example, when I traded with the Northern Dynasty, I exchanged silk for livestock, and I sent out a lot of silk. If you plant more silkworms and flax, you can feed more farmers, craftsmen and weavers. And the more livestock produced by the Gui Dynasty, the higher the people's enthusiasm for breeding. In addition, a large amount of felt can be exported to feed more felt-making craftsmen. The population increases, and the national strength increases. Transactions increase, taxes increase. It's a mutually beneficial process. Just like opening the heavens and the earth, the heavens and the earth were originally chaotic, Pangu split the heavens and the earth, the turbid ones sank to the earth, the light ones rose to the heavens, and the heavens and the earth expanded, so there was a world. However, your country has too strict restrictions on livestock, horses are just that, and cattle, alas, sheep and mules are only used for ploughing, why are there restrictions? And the old and weak horses, why do they do restrictions? This is the development of the self-contained country. In fact, the trade between our dynasty and the northern dynasty has caused a lot of copper money to be lost, which has caused dissatisfaction among many ministers. ”

"I heard you have that prospecting ability......"

"Your Majesty, if you want to hear it, I can teach it another day."

"Really?"

"The minister doesn't dare to lie to His Majesty."

"Come on, serve tea," Liao Xingzong's spirit was greatly boosted.

It was really strange, and continued: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, no matter what the discussion is, as long as the two countries are not excessive, the north and the south can be peaceful for a long time. Either it is the Western Xia, it is a small country after all, it is not harmful, whether it is our dynasty or the Northern Dynasty, as long as it is carefully managed, its country will be destroyed. ”

Flicker again, you have to fight, you have to take revenge.

Quickly turned around, couldn't say too obviously, and said: "But I'm afraid that the Khitan problem is not in the neighboring countries, the surrounding countries, only our dynasty is like us, our invasion of the northern dynasty will be defeated, and the invasion of the northern dynasty by our dynasty may be difficult to win." This kind of stalemate creates peace. The crisis of the Northern Dynasties was internal, there were many Khitan tribes, and the only ones who were loyal were the Han people in West Nanjing, the Khitan people, and the Xi people. If you treat it fiercely, you will rebel, and if you are soft, you will develop, and it will not be big after it is huge. Therefore, it must be divided and dissolved, so that its tribe cannot grow. ”

"Good words." Liao Xingzong smacked the table and said.

During his reign, there were two major problems, Yuan Hao was only a foreign insult, he didn't want to teach Yuan Hao a lesson, and Yuan Hao didn't dare to provoke the Khitan, mainly due to internal factors, a mother gave him a headache, and there were rebellions and revolts in various ministries. In fact, if all the tribes obeyed the Khitan orders, as early as the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia war, they led their troops south.

There are two major constraints that cause fear of the tail.

Zheng Lang said from the heart, a declining Khitan is not terrible, what is terrible is the future Mongols and Jurchens. If Liao Xingzong made some small moves because of his own words, and successfully divided these two ethnic groups, the Song Dynasty would have lost the two biggest scourges in the future.

In particular, the entry of the Mongols and the Qing people into the customs caused the Central Plains civilization to not develop sustainably, which had a heavy impact on later generations.

"This is the national situation of the Khitan, and I will tell His Highness about Confucianism. Although the Khitan won the world immediately, they could not rule the world immediately. To fight for the world, we must use force, and we must rule the world with culture. What is the policy of governing the world is in Confucianism. Including the knowledge of the ministers, they all came from Confucianism. ”…,

"Even that ore hunting technique?" Liao Xingzong asked again.

"That's too, but there is a reason for finding the mine, not only learning, but when Rong Chen talks about this prospecting technique in a few days, he will say it together." Zheng Lang said. But in my heart, I was saying, even if you are given mineral deposits, unless it is in the territory of the Khitan, can you Khitan people mine the mines overseas? You can't stand the heat, and what about the boats? This is a boat to go out to sea, not a small wooden boat for fishing on the water. The Khitan monarchs and ministers were indeed forced to be helpless.

If you want to be rich, you can't use salt and silk instead, you have to have money, one copper and two silver, gold and silver Khitan also produces some, where can you get copper, there are, very little. The monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty quarreled so much that our copper coins were lost to the Khitan together.

The Khitan is not convinced, we want your copper coins? If you produce large-scale copper, use these useless things to exchange for all kinds of exquisite silk silk in your Song Dynasty, why not porcelain?

Zheng Lang let Liao Xingzong interrupt several times and said: "Your Majesty, I am under the order of Your Majesty to conduct academic exchanges with His Royal Highness. ”

Liao Xingzong was happy and said, "You talk, I sit on the side and listen." ”

Zheng Lang was speechless, took a sip of tea, and talked about the way to govern the country from Confucianism.

God knows what kind of statecraft this is. But he did it very carefully, and he didn't make Liao Xingzong suspicious at all, but he was interested many times.

It wasn't until nearly three o'clock that Zheng Lang looked outside and said, "Your Majesty, it's not too early, and the ministers also have to rest." ”

"I'm here to see you off."

"No need, don't say that the monarchs and ministers of the two countries, even if they are the monarchs and ministers of the same country, they must be respectful and orderly, otherwise the country will not be a country." Zheng Lang replied.

"What a respectful and orderly one," Liao Xingzong's eyes were full of appreciation.

Zheng Lang secretly rejoiced in his heart, he couldn't accept any Khitan official and half-position, sooner or later he would anger the Khitan people, don't want to escape first, you have to want to keep your life safe first. Therefore, make some concessions so that the Khitan emperor will have a good impression of himself.

Out of the imperial city, although it is an imperial city, the scale is not large, and it is not as good as the imperial city in Luoyang. Spring is coming, the fragrance of flowers hits people, smelling the fragrant air, Zheng Lang said to Guo Kui: "Let's go back." ”

The two of them, led by the guards, walked towards the post house.

Guo Kui said worriedly: "Zheng Xianggong, it is not appropriate for you to promise to grant the Khitan crown prince knowledge. ”

"I also know it's not appropriate," Zheng Lang shook his head and said, although it is not a Taifu, it is equivalent to a Taifu, the Khitan people will use it to make a fuss, and some people in China will also use it to make a fuss: "But it doesn't matter, I told Your Majesty before leaving, and once you go back, even if there is a haze, you will immediately clear the clouds and see the bright moon." Moreover, this trip has been quite fruitful. ”

"What?"

"Zhongtong, you said that I taught the Khitan prince knowledge, what would I teach?"

Guo Kui was stunned at first, and then happy. However, this also requires great skill, and the Khitans cannot be suspicious. In fact, including Liao Xingzong's audition, he is also afraid of this. From beginning to end, Zheng Lang was playing the balance technique of walking a tightrope at a high altitude.

ps; This volume of the Northern Trip is an important foreshadowing for the future. However, some readers don't like it, try to compress it. Respect everyone's opinions. rq
