Chapter Forty-Six: The Wicked Decide Their Fate

readx; Yun Zheng didn't have the ability of Zhuge Liang to fight the Confucianism, not to mention that everyone here was the elite of the Great Song Dynasty, and after a group of people were talking for a while, Yun Zheng found that he should indeed go to Yanmen Pass now and wait for the opportunity to attack Xijing of Liao. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info "Top Novel,

However, the name of Wuzang Pang always lingers in his mind, Yun Zheng has seen Wuzang Pang, and he has personally confronted Wuzang Pang, and has personally experienced the insidiousness and viciousness of this person, in order to get out, he betrayed the six eyelids of Yuanzhai without blinking, no matter who such a hero is, he must attach great importance to it.

"Who's going to help me monitor if I'm not hiding a fake?" Yun Zheng asked softly.

All the people in the room closed their mouths, and it was one thing to persuade Yun Zheng to go north, and it was another thing to pack a ticket for Yun Zheng and say that if he didn't hide it, Pang would honestly attack the Liao State, and he would not secretly stab the Great Song army.

From the current point of view, it is in everyone's interests to encourage Yun Zheng's northern expedition, as long as it is to fight for interests, there will be risks, and there is no problem for everyone to bear the risk of not hiding the false Pang will be dishonest, but if someone here bears it alone, there will be a big problem.

Han Qi asked in a low voice, "Since Yun Shuai knows that he is unreliable, he doesn't know if Yun Shuai has a way to check and balance this person?" ”

Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "I didn't hide Pang is now in Western Xia, even the Western Xia royal family can only tremble under his obscenity, the Queen Mother of Western Xia, and the emperor of Western Xia who is just ten years old are just symbolic puppets of power."

I tried to send people to stir up the dissatisfaction of those nobles in Western Xia against the lack of concealment, but in the end, it had no effect, just like a pebble thrown into the sea, and no ripples were produced.

I regret it now, why did I accept the six parts of Yuanzhai in the first place. If they were not accepted in Qingtang back then, it would take at least three years of hard work for the Western Xia Kingdom to quickly calm down and form a group.

We brought the six parts of Yuanzhai to Qingtang with the method of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, but the result was that Wuzang Pang picked up a big bargain, discarded the tribes that were not subordinate, and made the Western Xia more united. More pure, no matter how you look at it, this deal can be done. ”

Wen Yanbo looked at Yun Zheng and said: "So, in the Qingtang War, not hiding the false Pang is not a failure?" ”

Yun Zheng smiled bitterly: "On the surface, it seems that I won, but aside from the military, I think the gain of not hiding Pang is even greater than mine!" A pure Western Xia kingdom was much more powerful than a loose tribal alliance. ”

"We have gunpowder bullets ......," Zeng Gong said quietly.

Wang Anshi shook his head and said: "Gunpowder is no longer an untouchable secret, and the Great Song Dynasty has relied on gunpowder to shock all directions over the years. But people are also paying attention to the matter of gunpowder, and now, some businessmen have brought gunpowder to distant rivers, and even spread farther, and the old man has only dealt with two such cases, and the cruel means cannot stop those people's desire for wealth. ”

Pang Ji said slowly: "So the Tangut people also have gunpowder in their hands? ”

Zeng Gongliang said with a look of shame: "This is the dereliction of duty of the lower officials!" ”

Pang Ji sighed: "This is not your dereliction of duty alone, it is the dereliction of duty of all of us, since the first year of Duangong." The style of merchants in the Great Song Dynasty prevailed, and the scholars in the pre-Tang Dynasty were still ashamed of doing business. But now, among all of you here, who doesn't have two or three merchants at home?

Even if it is the old man's own house, Ruifu Commercial Bank has also done business all over the country, how can those who make money every day have the face to discipline others? ”

Pang Ji's words were crooked, this kind of seemingly open and honest words. can only talk about it here, when the emperor is in the main hall, Pang Ji will not say this if he is killed, and the so-called gentleman's style of the Song people is also very limited.

The gunpowder workshop has long been spying on by the spies of the Tangut and Liao people, like a honeycomb. The people who helped those spies to go down to the gunpowder workshop were all the top nobles of the Great Song Dynasty, and a secret recipe could be exchanged for a pile of treasures as high as a mountain.

As for the impact of gunpowder on the Great Song Dynasty, it is not in their consideration, the Great Song Dynasty army is now looking at the four seas, and it is not a big problem to damage a little, there are peerless generals like Yun Shuai and Di Shuai, and the Xixia and Liao people may not use it even if they hold gunpowder, at most they will die a few more Qiu Ba, which is not a big deal.

For the secrecy work of the Great Song Dynasty, Yun Zheng had been desperate for a long time, and regarded the supervisor as the top craft secrecy unit of the Great Song Dynasty, and his big boss Zeng Gongliang compiled the general outline of the Great Song Dynasty craft "Wujing General Essentials" together with Ding Du, such things not only did not put them in the most secret place to preserve, but personally transcribed many books and distributed them to those who thought they were helpful to the completion of this book, and even Yun Zheng, who was unknown in Shu, had a set.

Yun Zheng just glanced at the content, and was shocked into a cold sweat, can such a thing really be shown to others casually?

If there was only one Zeng Gongliang, those arrogant literati selfishly thought that these crafts were copied by themselves, so it was natural for them to become their own things, just to enjoy their own name, but forget what kind of damage this thing would cause to the Great Song Dynasty after it was spread.

Shen Kuo's "Dream Creek Pen Talk" has also been published, and now only "Pen Talk" has come out, and the follow-up "Supplementary Pen Talk" and "Continuation Pen Talk" have not yet been published, but Yun Zheng knows that what will come later will definitely appear.

There are 26 volumes of just written talks, divided into 17 sections, which are "Stories, Dialectics, Musical Rhythms, Elephant Numbers, Personnel, Official Affairs, Wit, Art and Literature, Calligraphy and Painting, Skills, Instrumental Uses, Magic, Strange Things, Fallacies, Ridicule, Magazines, and Medicinal Discussions."

Shen Kuo is a very scholarly fellow, and he has practiced all kinds of theories and techniques published by himself again and again, and he can be regarded as a very great scholar.

It's just that for this scholar, Yun Zheng really wants to strangle him alive with his own hands.

The political reform of the Western Xia was rearranged according to the official government in the "Mengxi Bi Tan", and the responsibilities of each department were clear, and the Western Xia had gradually evolved from a tribal alliance to a centralized state.

Speaking of this, Yun Zheng had the urge to vomit blood, and after Shen Kuo's "Dream Creek Writings" was written, he wanted to pay Zi for printing, but his family wealth was not enough to support him to do it so willfully, so he held the manuscript and looked around for someone to fund the printing.

According to his own words, it is common for the wealthy to chase the fat horse dust at dusk, but it is a pity that those noble families are not interested in his kitsch and lewd skills......

The Yun family sent someone to the door hoping to buy his manuscript and print it secretly, but Shen Kuo ruthlessly refused, and he sprinkled all the humiliating anger of those rich children on the Yun family's shopkeeper. The rhetoric is extremely mean.

Those nobles looked down on him, but he looked down on the Yun family, thinking that selling his hard work to the Yun butcher would make him firmly nailed to the frame of shame, and he specially released his words, preferring to burn it down rather than hand it over to the Yun family......

Then, a Hu merchant came to the door, and after paying Shen Kuo one hundred and sixty copper coins, he took the manuscript away, and then, it was all over the world in the Western Xia Yin......

Shen Kuo was proud of this for a long time, and thought that he had taken an important step on the road to subduing the barbarians.

Time is the panacea that heals all wounds, what kind of status Shen Kuo is in the future generations, who will know better than Yun Zheng in the Great Song Dynasty?

In the end, his book belongs to the whole world, to the treasure of all mankind...... As a Song person, Yun Zheng wanted to cry.

Pang Ji saw that Yun Zheng fell into deep thought, and the expression on his face became intense, and he sighed lightly and stopped talking, as did the others, lowering their heads and thinking about their own thoughts.

Di Qing has been prepared in Hebei, and now as long as the disciples of the Kong clan are withdrawn from Yanyun, they can let go of the obstacles on the road to attack, Zhending Mansion and Hejian Mansion have gathered, at this time, Hebei has cut off all the trade routes, and the army is ready to fight, and the clouds of war have been firmly shrouded in both banks of the Xiaoliang River, as long as there is a spark, it will explode.

"Wait!" Yun Zheng finally gritted his teeth and said these three words.

"When, how long?" Han Qi sat up straight and stared at Yun Zheng.

"I don't know, looking at the reaction of the Tangut people, if the three envoys can make the Tangut people move now, I will rush to Yanmen Pass in the starry night."

Han Qi held his breath and said stiffly, "What are you waiting for?" If it weren't for the fact that you were a cloud tiger, the old man would think you were cowardly! ”

"After the news comes from Lanzhou, I will leave, this time, I want to enlist the name of the general of Peking University!"

Wang Anshi said: "General Zhengbei is just a name, although I don't have this position in the Great Song Dynasty, but I am in a hurry, since you need it, we will unite the left and right to reformulate the authority of this position, and it doesn't hurt to give it to you."

It's just that I really want to know, why is it the news of Lanzhou, where is already the city of my Great Song Dynasty, just send a messenger to ask. Why bother? ”

"It's different, there are two very smart people who have been living there for five whole years, and five years is enough time for them to paint a subtle dynamic map of the Tangut people, with this map, we can gain insight into the real dynamics of the Tangut people, and finally come up with a relatively accurate answer!"

"Why don't you send someone to urge?"

"Because they are not under my command at all, it is precisely because they are not under my command that they can stand on a relatively objective position to comment on this matter, and the time agreed for five years has not yet arrived, so we can only wait now.

On the other hand, since they didn't send the charts, it means that there must have been a new development there recently, and this matter cannot be rushed. ”

Pang Ji opened his eyes and looked at Yun Zheng and asked, "Who are those two people?" ”

Yun Zheng smiled: "Two wicked people, real evil people!" (To be continued.) )
