Chapter 243: Hexi is a Good Place
The end of the world is in a hurry, there are still ten days before the end of the year, and the government begins to seal and enlarge the holiday, and it will not be until the twentieth day of the first month of the following year to go back to the government to handle official business.
During the month-long holiday, officials can go back to their hometowns to visit relatives and ancestors, and they can also visit relatives and friends to contact their feelings; Of course, more people will go to visit the officials, or enter Beijing, seeking promotion.
For example, Mei Zhengqing, who joined the army, went to Tokyo on the second day of the holiday, and sent a lot of gifts to Yang Yi before he went, Yang Yi knew what he meant, Mei Zhengqing looked good at this person, Mei Zhengqing was in charge of the state seal on weekdays, and he cooperated with himself and his ability was not bad; He rarely takes care of the details of the state, Mei Zhengqing can do not deceive or conceal, and handle government affairs in an orderly manner, Yang Yi has always been very satisfied with him; So he took some gifts and asked him to help bring them to his father-in-law, Su Song.
Mei Zhengqing thanked him again and again, carefully put away the gift that Yang Yi asked him to bring, and went happily!
Yang Yi can't go anywhere, Thirteen Niang has been pregnant for nine months, and it is estimated that she will give birth in the first month, Yang Yi guards her like a baby every day!
Su Shi also stayed in Huanzhou honestly, but the three sons born to his two wives, Su Mai, Su Yu, and Su Guoqi, came to Huanzhou to visit his father.
The eldest son, Su Mai, was born to Su Dongpo's first wife, Wang Fu, Su Mai was thirty-eight years old, and Yuanfeng tried to enter the Shidi for four years. Successively served as the lieutenant of Raozhou Dexing, Hejian County Commander and other positions, two years ago when Su Shi degraded Huizhou, he was scattered in Yixing, and has been until now.
The second son, Su Yu, is twenty-seven years old, and Yuan Youzhong is the captain of Linshu County, Hebei West Road.
Su Dongpo's first wife Wang Fu died in the year of twenty-seven, and then Su Dongpo remarried Wang Fu's cousin Wang Run, who also died before Su Dongpo was demoted to Huizhou.
The third son Su Guo was born to Wang Run, twenty-five years old, he had been following Su Dongpo to take care of him, and after Wang Yan passed away, he had to go back to keep filial piety for his mother.
After the three arrived in Huanzhou, they came to see Yang Yi the next day, all three of them were older than Yang Yi, but they were all very respectful to Yang Yi, this has nothing to do with the official position, Su Dongpo was demoted to Lingnan Huizhou, it was Yang Yi who helped to intercede, so he was able to transfer back.
As sons of man, it is not surprising that they are grateful to Yang Yi.
Su's three tigers, Ji Hu is the most angry. The third Su is the most father, and his talent is also the most agile.
But in general, their thoughts are influenced by Su Dongpo and tend to be conservative, and Yang Yi and them don't have much common language.
Yang Yi likes Su Suili born to Wang Chaoyun the most, although he has no status in the Su family, and he is not even qualified to come with his brother today; But Su Suili was only thirteen years old, and his thoughts had not yet been finalized, and after several contacts, Yang Yi found that Su Suili seemed to be more inclined to the New Deal, which made Yang Yi always interested in him.
What about concubines? I'm still a student in the outer room! Prime Minister Zhang was also born to his father and nursing mother, and we are all the way! Come on! Hahaha!
After sending off the three tigers of the Su family, Yang Yi came back with a smile on his face, Qing Niang just came out of the study, and when she saw him with a smile on her face, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yang, why are you so happy?" ”
Yang Yi winked at her and smiled, "I won't tell you!" ”
"Say! Brother Yang said! The girl was dressed in a purple mink fur, with a wisp of fragrance, and pounced on Yang Yi to ask him to "confess and be lenient".
Yang Yi grabbed her fragrant shoulder and laughed: "Zi Bu is silent, he is confused, and he is afraid that he will scare you if he says it!" ”
"Hmm! That...... Still don't talk about it! ”
This girl is fourteen years old after the New Year, her body is like a wicker in spring, straight and long, a dark green long skirt lined her with graceful and graceful eyes, and her small breasts are slightly bulging; Every time I see her poems and books soaked in the clear and elegant state, Yang Yi can't help but think of Li Houzhu's "Sauvignon Blanc": Yun Yishu, jade Yishuo, light shirt and thin Luo, light cheeks and double snails.
The more Qing Niang grows up, the stronger her dependence on Yang Yi becomes, she understands everything at this age, but she usually snuggs on him without suspicion, in fact, there is nothing to avoid, Yang Yi often runs around the courtyard with her on her shoulder, and the intimacy of the two is sometimes even Thirteen Niang secretly sighs.
"By the way, Brother Yang, your first broken form, after I begged the scholar of Su University, I took it and framed it, do you want to take a look?"
Qing Niang hugged Yang Yi's arm and asked with a coquettish face, she not only collects gold and stone antiques, but also famous calligraphers like Su Dongpo, and now she has collected several calligraphy from Lao Su.
"That song, Brother Yang was drunk that day! Uh, forget it, let's not look at it yet. Yang Yi pinched her Qiong nose and smiled, "It's cold outside, hurry up and enter the house." ”
In the room, Thirteen Niang was leaning on a chair, instructing Ming'er to copy some of Yang Yi's medical prescriptions, like the measures he had asked Mu Lanhua to prevent malaria before, and Thirteen Niang sorted them out one by one; There is also how Yang Yi has adjusted her diet, work and rest, sitting and lying, medication, when and what to eat is beneficial to the fetus, etc. For example, from three to five months of pregnancy, the fetus has a long brain, should eat more walnuts, sesame seeds and other nootropic foods, and eat less meat after ** month, in order to prevent the fetus from being too large and causing dystocia.
Yang Yi admired her meticulous dedication very much, he stepped forward to help Thirteen Niang gently rub his calves, and said: "Lady, you shouldn't work too hard now, be obedient, take a break!" ”
Thirteen Niang's calves were slightly swollen, Yang Yi often helped her rub them, and Thirteen Niang's objections were ineffective many times, so she had to accept the care of her own officials with peace of mind; She turned around and smiled: "Don't worry, official, I'm just moving my mouth, and I'm not in the way!" ”
"Sister Qing'er, Brother Yang is the best Langzhong, you still have to listen to him!" Qing Niang also squatted down obediently and helped Thirteen Niang rub her other foot.
Thirteen Niang stretched out her hand and stroked her hair and said with a smile: "Sister is afraid that after a long time, she will forget it in the future, these recipes are used to treat diseases and save people, but if the memory is slightly blurred, it can not be recorded again, so as not to make mistakes." ”
"But Sister Qing'er, even if you can't remember clearly in the future, don't you still ask Brother Yang?"
"Your brother Yang is busy with government affairs, and these things are always good to bother him repeatedly, but now that he can record them, he can record them directly."
Qing Niang was a little ashamed when she heard this, she had a delicate personality and rich feelings, and she was destined to have more dependence on Yang Yi; And Thirteen Niang is different, Thirteen Niang was more like a scientist before getting married, and now as a wife, she has changed a lot, but her independence is still stronger.
Yang Yi smiled and said: "It's okay, don't worry, don't worry, isn't this an annual vacation, I won't go anywhere for my husband, and I will record all the medical knowledge I know, so that my mother can write a book as soon as possible." ”
Thirteen Niang's eyebrows and eyes eased slightly, Yingying's eyes swept him and said: "Even if the officials don't go anywhere, I'm afraid they won't be idle!" ”
Ming'er also interjected at this time: "That is, since the closure of the government, there has been no peace at home, and several people come to visit every day, and the amount of alcohol you drink can be seen to be long!" ”
Yang Yi was about to tease her, but Mu Lanhua came in, and when she entered the door, she hugged her fists and said, "My lord, the person named Yaoqing last time came to see my lord again!" ”
Yang Yi rolled his eyes, and had no choice but to get up, this time Yang Yi did not let Mu Lanhua bring people to the study, but to the signing room of the second hall, now Liang Gefang is already powerful in Western Xia, Yang Yi knows that his cooperation with him is over.
Therefore, Yang Yi was not too enthusiastic about the messenger he sent again.
In the signing room, Yao Qing, a man, saw Yang Yi, but he was more respectful than last time, this time he didn't come alone, and he brought a few entourages, these entourages were mainly responsible for carrying gifts; Yaoqing solemnly made a big gift, and then took out a gift slip and presented it: "Master Yang, this is a little bit of my lord's heart, and I hope Master Yang will not dislike it." ”
Yang Yi took the gift list, didn't even look at it, pressed it on the table and said, "I accepted Lord Liang's wishes, Lord Liang asked you to come, there should be something else, right?" ”
Yaoqing hurriedly saluted again and took out a letter from his arms.
Yang Yi opened it to take a closer look, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly without showing a trace.
As expected, Liang Gefang communicated with him first, hoping that Yang Yi would work hard to persuade the Song court that the two countries would call off the army from now on, and Xixia was willing to bow down and be a vassal, and pay tribute of 10,000 war horses and 20,000 catties of green salt every year.
The Great Song Dynasty gave 20,000 yuan to the Western Xia every year, reopened the border, and allowed the people of the two countries to trade freely.
This is just a private communication between Liang Gefang and Yang Yi, so there are not many terms on the letter.
After reading it, Yang Yi pondered, and after a while, he said in embarrassment: "For Lord Liang's friendship, I will try my best to help Zhou deal with this matter; It is not difficult to start peace talks, but it is not up to the officials to decide what Tokyo decides. There is also the matter of giving New Year's coins, which is very difficult, I believe that Lord Liang has also heard that my dynasty has just announced that it will stop giving Liao New Year's coins, and at this time it will be transferred to the Western Xia New Year's coins, I am afraid that most of the ministers of the DPRK and China will not agree. ”
Yaoqing bowed again and said cautiously: "In short, I hope that Lord Yang will help dredge it, and after the matter is completed, my lord still has a lot of gratitude." ”
"Alright! This official will do his best, there are many people in this yamen, so I won't keep you more! ”
"Thank you, Mr. Yang, the villain is leaving!"
After Yaoqing went out, Yang Yi picked up the gift list casually, didn't know if he didn't look at it, he jumped when he saw it, good guy! Liang Gefang, an upstart, really made a lot of money.
Yang Yi saw that he was using two broken bamboo baskets to cover it, and put some hay outside to cover it, and thought it was some local products of Western Xia, but when he opened the hay, he saw that there was a layer of oilcloth wrapped inside, night pearls, agate, rubies, and emerald inlaid jewelry, all of which were priceless things.
Yang Yi is very happy in his heart, Liang Gefang is still quite good at being a man! Finding two broken bamboo baskets to load is really a good way to hide from the world.
Before the Western Xia had sent people to submit a letter several times, hoping to negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty was worried that opening the peace talks would stabilize the situation in the Western Xia, so they all refused, thinking that it was because of this that Liang Gefang had to place a heavy bet on himself!
The money sent by the Xixia people, don't be in vain, Yang Yi is smiling with peace of mind this time!
At this time, there is no big problem in opening peace talks, after Renduo Baozhong and Wei Ming Ah Wu were captured, did Western Xia still want to stabilize? Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!
What's more, it's okay to start peace talks, and you can only know if you can talk about ghosts!
The conditions offered by the Great Song Dynasty are probably unbearable for Western Xia, Yang Yi's eyes looked through the window and looked west, the Hexi Corridor is a good place!
