The last time Zhao Fu inspected the Yellow River, he didn't do it well, so he wrote to the emperor, your "brotherhood and friendship", diligent governance, and can seal Zen.

Zhao Kuangyi became interested.

In fact, Zhao Kuangyi is not a luxurious emperor, last winter at the Changchun Palace banquet, Wang Xian looked at Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangyi asked him strangely, what do you see. Wang Xian said that I saw that the underwear under His Majesty was all down, which is a nice saying, that is, the underwear is shabby. Zhao Kuangyi said with a smile, I haven't made new clothes this year, and my underwear is often washed. He also said that it is not that I am thrifty, but that I remember the hard work of the machine, and I want to show simplicity and be the first in the world.

Not long ago, Li Muchen got up early, and suddenly the wind was dizzy and violent, Zhao Kuangyi cried and said: "Li Mujie keeps the way and is pure, it is really not easy to obtain, I have been paying attention to it for a long time, so I used it, but I died young." The misfortune of the Fezians is also the misfortune of me. ”

He said to Song Jiu again: "Why didn't Qing push Li Mu Yuzhen earlier?" ”

Song Jiu is going to fall.

Let him learn the kind of sycophants of Song Qi and Li Fang, he can't learn it.

Then he talked about himself from Li Mu Pusu, I read the history of the Jin Dynasty, and after seeing Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, he drowned in the internal favor, and thousands of people in the harem were deeply annoyed, and he lost the way of the emperor, and I often took this as a deep precept. In this palace, I am in charge of the rough envoys, but there are only 300 people, and I still think it is too much.

It should be said that it is not easy to be an emperor.

Not only him, but also several emperors in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, except for the two baby Huiqin, the other people have done a good job in this regard, even if Song Zhenzong worshiped the gods a few times, and let his fierce wife Liu E put the gifts given by the gods in Song Zhenzong's coffin angrily after his death. But Song Jiu didn't know about this.

This time, the main reason for sealing Zen is that he has a weak heart and wants to use Zen to cover up.

Li Fang and the others made a big fuss.

Shi Xian and Song Jiu were silent.

Song Qi took the initiative to collect evidence for Zhao Kuangyi, sang praises for Zhao Kuangyi, and won the "righteousness" of Feng Chan.

So what else is it good to say?

Then seal it. It's a big deal to waste millions of dollars.

Zhao Hanlin bachelor Cheng Zhi Hu Meng, bachelor Jia Huangzhong, scattered cavalry attendant Xu Xuan and others in detail to seal the Zen ceremony, and ordered the deputy envoy of the southern workshop Li Shenyou and other four people to repair the road from Beijing to Mount Tai.

Then the prime minister Song Qi was the envoy of the Great Ceremony of Fengchan, Song Bai, a scholar of Hanlin, was the envoy of the Lu Book, and Jia Huangzhong was the envoy of the honor guard.

But this Feng Zen, Zhao Kuangyi also felt weak, so he said: "I have prayed for the common people on this trip, and I am too strict to be strict, and I am not intended." Therefore, the ceremonial guard used in the temple and Mount Tai does not need to be furnished. ”

Go through the motions. You can't work hard, you must focus on saving.

However, how to save, once the meditation is sealed, not only the cost of the meditation, but also the related rewards. For a great sacrifice like this, all kinds of rewards must be given to officials and soldiers. That's all. It won't be thin.

Teng Zhongzheng found Song Jiu: "Song Gong, why don't you admonish?" ”

"Puguang, you are the head of the ministers, how can you let me come to the advice if you don't admonish?"

"I said it, but His Majesty didn't listen. Only Song Gong said. Your Majesty can only listen to it. ”

"Puguang, I also want to persuade you, but there are two people in the court who support the demagogy, can I persuade me?"

Teng Zhongzheng sighed.

"It seems that Your Majesty has not used a good person."

Zhang Qixian set up a small cannon. Xiao beat Song Qi, Teng Zhongzheng also heard about it.

If Song Jiu had done the Zhongshu Sect Pingzhang Thing, would these things have happened?

Teng Zhongzheng left silently, and Song Jiu sighed: "They are not as good as a cook." ”

This cook refers to Yande, the king of the blistering kitchen when Zhao Kuangyi was in the palace.

The Uighurs originally lived in the depths of the desert, but later the Turks were weak, and the Uighurs spread their power throughout almost the entire desert in the north, and later due to natural disasters and civil strife, they were wiped out by the Gyas, and the remaining Uighurs moved west in three groups to the Xinjiang region of Gansu Province, becoming the ancestors of the Uyghurs and the Yugurs. One of them moved from the Mongolian Plateau to Beshbali (Beiting) at the northern foot of the Tien Shan Mountains, and soon crossed the Tien Shan to establish the Uighur state in Gaochang, known as the Xizhou Uighurs.

Needless to say, the Uighurs of Ganzhou were close to the Central Plains Dynasty and had frequent contacts. However, the Uighurs from Western Prefecture also sent envoys to meet with them on several occasions. In the sixth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom, the Uighur king of Gaochang declared his nephew Awulanhan as the king of Xizhou. Song Taizong thought about it, let's also send a messenger to take a look. So he sent more than 100 people led by Wang Yande, the official of the worship office, and Bai Xun, the official of the palace, to envoy Gaochang.

Wang Yande stayed in this line for three years, without losing the etiquette of the great country, the Khitan had sent an envoy to Gaochang, instigating the road, Wen Han sent an envoy from the Tatar road out of the king's realm, it was to lure the king to peep at the border (referring to Wang Yande from Helan Road to Gaochang in Yanhai, and Lanliang Road, but there are Tubo people in Lanzhou, there are Uighurs in Lianggan, the Song Dynasty can only use troops in Gaochang from Juyan Haidao, but the Song Dynasty has a bad brain, but at that time the transportation was backward, the information was blocked, if the wisdom of the master Wang is not high, you may believe it), it is advisable to send it back to Tatar as soon as possible, and there is no way to stay for a long time.

Shizi Wang was silent.

The Liao envoy also directly said that when the Han envoy came to the king to seal the domain, there would be a different plan, and the king should check it.

When Wang Yande heard about it, he said to his master, Wang: "The Khitan has betrayed the Song Dynasty and dares to come to provoke a relationship between us, so I will kill him now to avoid future troubles." ”

Shizi Wang is in a hurry, his uncle, you killed them and were happy, we will be unlucky in the future, and it took a long time to persuade Wang Yande to rest.

Zhang Qian and Tang Seng traveled westward, which was the prelude to the rise of a great power, representing the nation becoming brave and pioneering, Wang Yande is also the same, it cannot be said that Zhao Kuangyi is not in good spirits, and the key is Qigou Pass and Li Jiqian......

And Wang Yande is not afraid of danger, once went deep into the Tatar realm (the North Blockade area), in the Later Jin Dynasty, the Khitan kidnapped many Han people, scattered throughout the Liao State, and some of them were difficult to escape to the north to avoid the war, and there were also many areas in the North Blockade area. Seeing the arrival of the Song envoy, he greeted him, offered food, and asked his relatives in the township, and he was very sad, and enthusiastically left Wang Yande for dozens of days.

After coming back, he reported the news, and Song Jiu was also embarrassed. He also has relatives to the north......

At the same time, Wang Yande also wrote a book "Xizhou Envoy Cheng Ji" in the past three years.

So Song Jiu said that Li Fang and Song Qi are not as good as a cook.

……

Don't say that Zhao Kuangyi didn't have any ideas about the Xizhou Uighurs, and Song Jiu didn't have any ideas. It should be said that the Tang Dynasty also controlled the east of the Green Ridge, and also had a garrison to Tuntian, but it could not be regarded as a complete rule.

This is not an inevitable consequence of lack of ambition and backward transportation.

On the contrary, the Western Regions and Qinghai contained the main forces of the Tang Dynasty. As a result, An Lushan soared straight into the ground, like a bamboo. But maybe Song Jiu will have some interest in the Hexi Corridor and Hehuang. But only interest. The north is the biggest border trouble in the future of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Song Jiu sat at home, drawing a map of the northwest, mainly a map related to the Nanhetao, where there are mostly Gobi deserts and deserts, under Song Jiu's instructions, although the northwest sent scouts to check the terrain, but it is not easy to observe here. Even though Song Jiu successively obtained a lot of information, he could not clearly draw the topography of the Nanhetao.

Li'er and the lady talked: "If it is now, it will be very hot over there." ”

"Hmm. It's very hot, hot all year round. ”

"Hotter than Lingnan?"

"The slave has never been to Lingnan, but it should be hotter than Lingnan. And people are also rude, and many people don't wear clothes. ”

"Official, where else are you going to let your child go?"

"Lady. Don't say it's hot, but it's good. ”

"There are good ones. Where there are a lot of beautiful views. Especially on the seaside, there is a golden sandy beach, the sea is extremely blue, and you can clearly see the corals under the sea, all kinds of strange fish swimming, and sometimes you can see some fish on the surface of the sea that glow. It's like a little star. If it weren't for the rain and the wind, it would be nice to stay by the beach. And where the fruit is sweet......"

Of course, there is a good side. There is also a bad side.

At least much better than most of the Nam Hetao is now.

There are still very few Han people who mainly migrate now, mainly local aborigines, so they lack the atmosphere of civilization, and the newcomers, coupled with the local sultry climate, will make people unaccustomed to it. This includes the river valleys, which are so flooded during the flood season that they dry up during the drought and are reduced to boulders on the riverbed.

However, once there are more Han people migrating, it is still a good place to develop it, and it can even be easily achieved three times a year.

In addition, if the wool is profitable, then the ship can sail farther away, all the way to Oceania, where you can open up a piece of pasture, without forcibly relocating people, you can use profit to induce.

Sow the seeds first.

In fact, it was not only the lady who went, but also some literate people, and Song Jiu supported it again, bringing a large number of books to teach the local aborigines to learn Chinese. I don't want the future generations to be tightly hugged, but I don't want to be a lonely big country again.

Song Jiu continued to draw the map.

Pan Li'er and the lady were talking, and several children sat curiously and listened.

Outside, the rain and wind were blowing, and the lightning was thundering, but inside the house was an extremely warm scene.

Suddenly, one of the servants shouted, "There is a fire." ”

Song Jiu dropped the map, walked outside, and saw the servant pointing in the direction of the northwest palace and said, "Song Gong, where is the fire." ”

Just when Zhao Kuangyi was ready to get up and go to Mount Tai, on May 28, it was the end of the day, the clouds were combined, and the wind and thunderstorms were blowing. If it really rains, it's fine, but the wind is only blowing and thundering, and not a drop of rain falls.

A lightning bolt struck the building right in.

In fact, there are more and more cement buildings in the capital.

However, for the sake of orthodoxy, including official uniforms, etc., to continue to retain the original appearance, most of the palaces in the palace are still wooden structures.

The high temperature of the thunder and lightning set the building on fire and spread to the Ōuchi Tsukika Gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate stayed outside the gate and did not see it.

The fire spread to the Xihua Gate and the main hall further north with the help of the wind.

At this time, the soldiers screamed, but it was too late, and the fire burned faster and faster with the help of the wind.

The next day, when the officials came to the early court, the palace was burned in many places, including the Qianyuan Hall and the Civilization Hall of the previous dynasty.

Where should this go to the early court?

And if this happened, can you still go to Mount Tai to seal Zen?

Teng Zhongzheng looked at Song Qi and said angrily: "The traitor has misled the country!" ”

Song Jiu didn't hit Song Qi's face, Teng Zhongzheng came to hit him.

If it weren't for Song Jiu, Song Qi would be angry.

But Zhongshu's ability is weak, coupled with this natural disaster, and Song Qi took the lead in initiating Feng Zen. The emperor likes to seal Zen, not only majestic, you can think about it, as the emperor of the orthodox dynasty of the Central Plains, the right is the highest, but there are more rules, even the last minister's house has to think about it, where is the opportunity to look around. However, as a Qingliu minister, he does not like to seal Zen, which will make the emperor lose his name, spend a lot of money, and bother the people......

I believe that Teng Zhongzheng is unsuspecting and makes things bigger, and there is a big man on top of him right behind.

Song Qi had a gloomy face and thought, I endure, I endure. (To be continued......)
