Chapter 8 See the Officials, the Requirements of the New Army

In the cold wind and snow, the New Year finally arrived, and the entire Bianjing City fell into a joyful atmosphere, that is, the official family also announced that the court would suspend the court for three days, so that the court officials who had worked hard for a year had a holiday to rest. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info, qΒ5\\

Zhao Lei trembled and avoided this period of worry, Queen Guo's affairs are like a time bomb, which may blow Zhao Lei to pieces at any time, but under the cover of Yan Wenying and the black hand behind him, it was finally calm and safe, but Zhao Lei also knew that there were a lot of cats in this matter, but no one came out to find trouble near the end of the year, and after the New Year, this matter will always be turned over, and someone will always carry the black pot, and the object of this black pot, the best candidate is undoubtedly Yan Wenying, And the person who tracked down must be Li Di, who didn't drink with Lu Yijian.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, which lacked various leisure and entertainment tools such as TVs and computers, there was no better entertainment except for firecrackers during the New Year, but firecrackers were such a thing, how could there be those firecrackers that Zhao Lei played when he was a child.

Zhao Lei returned to the study, and as soon as he sat down, Bai Xinlan walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup.

"Official! It's so cold, let's drink ginseng soup to ward off the cold! Bai Xinlan put the ginseng soup in front of Zhao Lei's desk and said to Zhao Lei with concern.

"Put it here! Wait until I see it again and drink it! Zhao Lei took out the fold that was going to be presented to the official family, looked at it carefully and said.

Zhao Lei frowned as he watched. Bai Xinlan walked behind him, slowly pointed at his head and said: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, don't work so hard, the imperial court has stopped, the officials should get these things in a few days!" ”

"No! The official family will see the performance in a few days, and I can't live up to the trust of the official family. The fold must be done in the next few days. Zhao Lei looked at the folds that had been written, and while carefully pondering the content inside, he said lightly to Bai Xinlan.

"Aren't you just going to train a new army! What's there to be busy, just form an army and let them train hard, as for being so busy in the dark! Official, you've lost a lot of weight these days. Bai Xinlan hugged him from behind Zhao Lei, touched his somewhat emaciated cheeks, and said regretfully.

"You don't understand, this training of the new army is very different from other armies of the Great Song Dynasty, and I want to train the new army I requested. It is necessary to reform not only the army, but also the Ministry of Industry and the Salt and Iron Division, and other issues, and to spend a huge amount of silver taels, which involves too many aspects, and we must not be cautious! Zhao Lei put down his hand. Qianqianyu's hand, which stroked Bai Xinlan's cheek, said solemnly.

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, even the official family and the hundred officials of the imperial court are on holiday and resting, that is, there are important things, and we can't wait for tomorrow to be busy!" Come on! Hang out with our sisters! Bai Xinlan held Zhao Lei's shoulders and said coquettishly.

"Good! I won't do it today. Have fun with you and start working again tomorrow! Zhao Lei smiled bitterly and put the fold away. Organize the things in the study.

"By the way, who is the new maid in the East Chamber? How strange! Although she is a maid, you give her an independent yard and send a little maid to serve, and even the meals are according to the standards of our sisters, not your new land-finding woman! Bai Xinlan looked at Zhao Lei, who was busy packing up her things, and asked in a low voice pretending to be very unconcerned.

"Not bad! She's my new woman, she's not bad! It's a good idea to hide at home! Zhao Lei didn't understand what Bai Xinlan meant, and looked at the little daughter who was starting to be jealous. He said with a haw.

When Zhao Lei admitted it calmly, Bai Xinlan pouted and looked at the busy man very helplessly.

The Northern Song Dynasty is better than a thousand years later, how many men dream of a blessed land! There is no need to pack any second milk, third milk or even n milk, as long as you bring it home, no one dares to speak, this is the right of men, although the law stipulates monogamy after a thousand years, but the situation of men raising beautiful women is simply more common than marrying concubines in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there are more people who cheat, in contrast, monogamy is not as good as the wife and concubine system to ensure the rights between men and women.

Bai Xinlan saw that Zhao Lei didn't want to explain because she didn't want to explain, so she had no choice but to give up inquiring about the origin of the woman who was very mysterious in her eyes, and instead asked about Xiao Ruoruo and said, "Official! When are you going to marry Ruoruo? ”

"If you marry, it is not suitable to marry in the first month, so I set the date for the second day of February." Zhao Lei replied to Bai Xinlan while arranging all kinds of books neatly.

Soon, Zhao Lei sorted out all the things in the study, took Bai Xinlan's hand, came to the lobby of Zhao Mansion, and began to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve with Xiao Ruoruo, Xiaocui, Yihong, Zhu Dali and others.

……

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, it was the time for the people to look for relatives and friends and celebrate in a big way, and in the imperial city of Bianjing, Zhao Lei, who had been preparing to enter the palace for a long time to meet the official Zhao Zhen.

Today is the day when the hundred officials stop the court, and there are few people in the entire palace, except for the attendants who led the way, Zhao Lei walked all the way, and only saw a few palace maids who were in a hurry.

It is still the imperial garden of the imperial palace, and the imperial garden in winter is still as beautiful as before, but this beauty is different from the beauty of spring and autumn, giving people a kind of cold and glamorous, which makes people feel excited, but they dare not touch it.

At the pavilion in the center of the lake, the official Zhao Zhen is alone, wearing a tiger skin and a red brocade robe, tasting tea and enjoying the snow, which has a unique taste.

Zhao Lei came from afar, encountered countless imperial city guards along the way, passed through layers of inspections, and came to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

"Chen Zhao Lei detains the official family!" When he came to the official's side, Zhao Lei said to Zhao Zhen.

"Get up!" The official Zhao Zhen didn't turn his head and said to Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei looked at the official Zhao Zhen who didn't turn his head and spoke indifferently, his heart began to beat faster, and he was very worried in his heart, thinking that Empress Guo's affairs had been known by the official Zhao Zhen.

Just when Zhao Lei was guessing in his heart, the official Zhao Zhen suddenly pointed to the rockery not far from the Huxin Pavilion and said excitedly: "Zhao Aiqing! Look over there! ”

Zhao Lei heard the tone of the official Zhao Zhen, put his mind at ease, and looked towards the place pointed by the official, near the rockery, the snow was deep, and in the snow, a cold plum blossomed proudly in the snow, which was different and fragrant.

"The flowers of the cold winter retreat, only Mei Aoxue resists the cold, why don't other flowers dare to fight against the cold winter!" The official Zhao Zhen looked at Hanmei Aoxue in the distance and said meaningfully.

Zhao Lei listened to the words of the official Zhao Zhen, his heart moved, and he said with a smile: "The official family! The minister saw the picturesque scenery of this cold plum and proud snow, and couldn't help but be poetic, thinking like a spring, just made a new poem, please taste it! ”

"Good! Zhao Aiqing, read it quickly! Hearing Zhao Lei's words, the official Zhao Zhen immediately turned his head and said to Zhao Lei in surprise.

Lumepo! I'm sorry, it seems that I am going to plagiarize your poems this time, Zhao Lei smiled bitterly in his heart, but he sang loudly with a smile on his face and said: "Mei Xue is not willing to fall in the spring, and the sao people put aside the pen fee to comment on the chapter, the plum and snow are three points white, but the snow loses the plum fragrance." ”

"Good! What a 'plum and snow are three points white, but the snow loses plum and a piece of fragrance', Zhao Aiqing is really literate! When the official Zhao Zhen heard Zhao Lei's "Xuemei", he immediately clapped his hands and said in appreciation.

"Official! Snow white plum fragrance, the so-called ruler is long, inch is short, learn from the strengths, the party is the king, if you insist on the length than the short, it will inevitably attract gossip! Zhao Lei arched his hand and said to the official Zhao Zhen.

"Okay, you Zhao Sanjue, you are really smart, you actually guessed my thoughts, hey! I never imagined that the matter of organizing and training the new army would arouse so many people's opposition! The official Zhao Zhen shook his head and said with a wry smile.

Zhao Lei looked at the wryly smiling official Zhao Zhen, and sneered in his heart, how could he not guess what the official family was thinking, just by virtue of the official family's sentence just now, "The cold winter flowers retreat, only Mei Aoxue", Zhao Lei has already guessed the matter of organizing and training the new army, and it is estimated that he will be blamed.

"Why should the official family worry, how to line the plum fragrance without snow, how to line the snow white without plum, the length must be compared to know the good and bad, some things must be done to know right and wrong, but if you don't do it, you will always be wrong." Zhao Lei said indifferently to the official Zhao Zhen.

Thinking thoughtfully about the official family, Zhao Lei made persistent efforts and said: "The official family! The minister also has a poem to offer! After speaking, he immediately read out another "Snow Plum" by Lu Meipo: "There is plum without snow and no spirit, there is snow without poetry and vulgarity, and the poetry of the sun and twilight is full of snow all day long, and Mei is very spring!" ”

"What a 'sunset poem is full of snow and snow, and plum is very spring!' , It seems that there are snow, plums, poems, and people who are perfect, all of them are indispensable, I have decided, one point to train the new army! When the official Zhao Zhen heard Zhao Lei's second poem, he clapped his hands and said loudly.

When Zhao Zhen made up his final mind at the official family, Zhao Lei presented the folds he had prepared to the official Zhao Zhen.

The official Zhao Zhen took Zhao Lei's recital and looked at it carefully, but the official Zhao Zhen was more and more surprised, and when he saw the end, his eyes widened.

"Zhao Aiqing! Isn't the size of the 25,000 new army too great? The official Zhao Zhen asked with some doubts, after all, 25,000 people are already a one-box establishment, and now there are only eight armies in the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the three armies of Bianjing Longwu, Yulin, and Shenwu, Xiaowei, Wuwei, Tunwei, Lingjun, and Qianniu Wuwei.

"The official family, the minister thinks that the scale of the vanity is not large, the Great Song Dynasty has an army of 1.2 million, and a mere 25,000 people, but one hundred accounts for two, this proportion is still small in the minister's opinion, after all, the purpose of the minister's training of the new army is to fight against the Western Xia capture army and the Liaoguo Palace Guard, if the number is too small, how can it be the opponent of these two armies!" Zhao Lei looked at the official Zhao Zhen and explained carefully.

Hearing Zhao Lei's explanation, the official Zhao Zhenxin said that it was also the case, there were as many as 100,000 captured troops in the Western Xia, and there were more than 240,000 guards in the Liao Palace.
