Zhao Pu put the wine jug in the hot water bucket to warm it.

If you put the wine directly on the stove, it will quickly lose its taste.

But if you use hot water, the temperature is easy to control.

The same is true for governing the country, a fierce fire like Chai Rong will make a pot of raw rice.

Take your time, faster.

"There are enemies all around, and I can't sleep." Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Pu and said.

This surrounding area is obviously not talking about the inside and outside of the palace gate, if the guards guarding the palace gate have been replaced by Zhao Kuangyin's old subordinates and family soldiers, it is safe enough.

What he said was the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

Today's young people often scoff at the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty when they see the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty in history textbooks.

If you ask him what you think of the Song Dynasty, he will say that he ceded land and paid compensation, lost power and humiliated the country, was beaten all the time, and the country was very small.

But in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, this was a country full of martial virtues, and the lord of Jingnan heard that Zhao Kuangyin was the emperor, and he was worried and frightened, so he quickly asked for surrender, and soon scared himself to death.

The territory of the Northern Song Dynasty was the limit of the expansion of the Chinese as an agricultural people, and it was no smaller than most Central Plains dynasties.

Just this territory, Zhao Kuangyin gnawed it down little by little.

"Taiyuan (Northern Han), Jingnan (Nanping), Southern Han, Minyue, Southern Tang, Wuyue, Shu......" Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Pu, "Where to start first?" ”

"Does Your Majesty have a target you want to fight?" Zhao Pu was going to figure out what Zhao Kuangyin meant first.

"Let's fight Taiyuan. There were also many generals who persuaded me to fight Taiyuan. Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Pu and said.

"Your Majesty, no!" Xu Yongzhi said.

"Grill your skewers! Your Majesty is talking to the minister, and it's not your turn to interject! Zhao Guangyi scolded.

"If he's just a skewer, I won't keep him here at all, if you don't let him talk, I'll let him out, and then I'll skewer you to grill." Zhao Kuangyin said to Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Er stopped.

Xu Yongzhi sprinkled the meat skewers with seasonings, first handed them to Zhao Kuangyin, then Zhao Er and Zhao Pu, and took a string himself.

"Yongzhi, let's talk about it." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"Your Majesty, conquest of the enemy is similar to masturbating." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Interesting, how do you say that?" Zhao Kuangyin picked up the mutton skewers and ate them.

"If a skewer looks oily and fragrant, eat it first, because it's cooked, and if a skewer is still bloody, then wait." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Hahaha." Zhao Kuangyin laughed.

"You guys are really rough." Zhao Guangyi smiled reluctantly.

"Brothers, let's have one." Zhao Kuangyin picked up the wine glass.

"Your Majesty, Yongzhi has a point." Zhao Pu took a sip of wine and said.

"If you want to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, you must fight Taiyuan first, Emperor Sejong insisted on using troops against the north first, because he was a natural general, and he had to constantly break through the hardest enemies, this momentum is very good, but this kind of price, hehe, it's not necessary." Zhao Pu said.

"Well, go ahead." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"The southern countries are rich in products, and when they get it in their hands, they will have confidence, and they will have the grain in the south of the Yangtze River to support 800,000 forbidden troops, and at that time, the army will march north, and the Khitan will be invincible." Zhao Pu said.

"I agree with Zeping's plan," Zhao Guangyi said, "There is just something to report to Your Majesty, a few days ago, the Southern Tang Dynasty sent a secret envoy to quietly find me, hoping to make peace with us." ”

"Oh," Zhao Kuangyin said, "why did you say it today?" ”

Zhao Guangyi was embarrassed all of a sudden.

His attitude towards women has always been anxious at the time, and he was going to get it immediately, but then he would quickly forget it, and he really forgot about Li Forsythia these days.

"The one who came to see me is the sister of the lord of Jiangnan, the eldest princess Li Forsythia." Zhao Guangyi said.

"That's a familiar name." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"It's the enemy." Xu Yongzhi understated and put a handful of meat skewers on Zhao Kuangyin's plate again.

"You have a sky-high attitude towards this person now." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"I persuaded King Jin that this person is very dangerous, and it is best not to deal with her in private." Xu Yongzhi gave the meat skewers to Zhao Guangyi.

"The lord of Jiangnan is willing to bow to us, and for this reason, Li Lianqiao is also all kinds of stammers to me." Zhao Guangyi said.

"Watch out for beauty." Zhao Pu coldly pricked the cold shot.

"You don't have to worry about this," Zhao Guangyi glanced at Zhao Pu coldly, "Even if I get together with her, I will support Your Majesty to defeat Nantang as soon as possible." ”

"It's not a problem," Zhao Kuangyin said, "the Southern Tang Dynasty has already sent envoys to express allegiance, and has also brought a letter of surrender." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Guangyi was stunned at that time.

"Xia Zhaoyi came to contact Yongzhi the day before Chen Qiao, she is Yongzhi's younger sister, she was the envoy before, this woman is Li Yu's representative."

Damn, it turned out that the woman was Xia Zhaoyi, and Zhao Guangyi's mind was full of anger towards Xu Yongzhi.

"What did they give?"

"A sharp weapon for the navy and the city defender, a fierce fire oil tank." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"Why is Li Yu so confused, he actually sent two envoys." Zhao Guangyi muttered.

"How can you send two, there must be one fake, Yongzhi reminded you to be careful of that woman." Zhao Pu said.

Zhao Pu's words were very yin, he showed his attitude, saying that Zhao Guangyi was deceived, but he immediately burned the fire on Xu Yongzhi's head.

This is called a tie-in, although Xu Yongzhi and Zhao Er can't like each other, but in the matter of reminding Li Lianqiao that it is dangerous, Xu Yongzhi is really kind-hearted, Zhao Pu's sentence made Xu Yongzhi's reminder become a teasing.

"Okay, let's not mention this matter, in short, we don't consider contacting Li Heqiao's channel." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"This is kidding me!" Zhao Guangyi's mind was full of this.

"The next time I see her, I must ......"

"To ...... Tie her up and beat her, no one can play tricks on a resourceful person like Zhao Guangyi! ”

On the one hand, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and on the other hand, he thought of her white and soft body, and he thought about it.

Zhao Kuangyin saw Zhao Er's strange face, and didn't pay attention to him.

"You all said it very well, my plan is also to start with the south and then the north," Zhao Kuangyin said to Zhao Pu, "I just said that just to try your opinion, you must say your thoughts to me in the future, even if everyone welcomes me and pleases me in the future, it will be the same." ”

"Yes!" The three replied in unison.

"Map." Zhao Kuangyin said.

Zhao Pu took out a scroll of maps from the bookshelf, and under the candles, four people met heads and surrounded them.

"From Xishu or Jingnan?" Zhao Kuangyin asked Zhao Pu.

"I suggest Xishu first." Zhao Pu said.

"I suggest fighting Jingnan." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Er, what about you?" Zhao Kuangyin asked Zhao Guangyi.

"Directly stab Nantang." He was not angry.

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and ignored him.

"Xishu is abundant, you can consider fighting first." Zhao Pu said.

"Jingnan may be better, that is the seven inches of the Yangtze River, suppressing Jingnan, you can send troops in both directions of Tanzhou and Jinling." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Don't be in a hurry to take revenge on Nantang." Zhao Pu said coldly.

"This is not a personal grudge, this is the strategy with the least losses, and Jingnan is the weakest." Xu Yongzhi said.

Jingnan is indeed very weak, with only three prefectures: Jingzhou, Guizhou and Xiazhou.

"Then we'll have to find an excuse to use soldiers." Zhao Pu's mouth soothed.

"Your Majesty doesn't need an additional excuse for using troops in the south." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Yongzhi, it's not our style to go to war without declaring it, even in troubled times, it's problematic to beat people for no reason." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"Your Majesty, you are in the most advantageous position in the world." Xu Yongzhi said.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Kuangyin said.

"The Great Song Dynasty is the Great Zhou, but His Majesty is not Emperor Sejong." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty accepted Zhou's Zen concession, and all the small countries that proclaimed to Zhou would automatically become your courtiers. This is the Great Song Dynasty is the Great Zhou. ”

"Yes."

"But Your Majesty is not Emperor Sejong, all the things that Emperor Chai has promised, Your Majesty does not need to approve, if the small country wants you to make any guarantees, you can ask them for new conditions."

"Wonderful."

"Since they are monarchs and ministers, monarchs and ministers are like father and son, how can father and son not meet? It is indeed difficult to let these lords of the country come to Tokyo to meet the saints, we understand, but if there are some impolite ones, we will pick them first. Xu Yongzhi said.

"This is the story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty," Zhao Kuangyin said, "and he asked the princes to send gold to serve the temple, and if he wanted to pick up anyone, he said that the gold you sent was not pure, and he cut off the title." ”

"Your Majesty may as well give preferential treatment to Southern Tang or Shu," Zhao Pu said, "to stimulate the ambitions of Meng Chang and Li Yu, let them threaten Jingnan, and then we will use Jingnan's road to cut them down." ”

"It's a good idea." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"If you want to confuse Nantang, the eldest princess's line can be used." Zhao Pu said.

"Dick!" Zhao Kuangyin patted Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi was still there with hatred: "The bad woman is very sassy, hum." ”

After drinking, Zhao Er's mind was full of Li Forsythia's body, black hair, white teeth, and powder...... It is a begonia flower of the sideburns.

I was taken aback by my eldest brother's shot.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

"Let you be ordered to fall in love with that woman of Li Lian or something!" Zhao Kuangyin said.

"Yes!" After Zhao Guangyi finished speaking, he pondered, what kind of order is this!

"You can start from Jingnan, Gao Baorong, the king of Nanping in Jingnan, is in very poor health, he is sick, and he can't enter the capital to face the saint." Xu Yongzhi said.

"How do you know if you're sick?" Zhao Pu asked.

"This family is very strange, his father Gao Jixing, is a robber, and the caravans that come and go from the south to the north must pay him protection money, otherwise they will send troops to rob you, and then my father sent them a lot of money, so they can be regarded as feeding."

"Gao Jixing is indeed the best," Zhao Kuangyin said, "He is a vassal to all the emperors, the Southern Tang, Min and Southern Han are his lords, he is a vassal just to ask for money, he also went to the Khitan, Tubo to be a minister, and asked for cattle and sheep from others, but he was bombed back, without any discipline, and all countries called him Laizi." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"Lai Zi still likes the salary of the imperial physician Lai, and the imperial physician of his family has not been able to get the salary he has said for a long time, so he has to go to Shanzitang to work part-time, so I know the situation of his family more clearly, Gao Baorong is not very old, but his body is no longer good." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Then let him enter Beijing." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"If Your Majesty wants to use troops in Jingnan, the local people will definitely eat pot pulp and welcome the king." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Light food?" Zhao Pu also asked if he didn't understand.

"It's the meaning of buying wine and meat." Zhao Kuangyin told him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Pu said.

"If you want to be the prime minister in the future, you have to find time to read some books." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"Yes." Zhao Pu pointed to the Analects.

"You can't rely on this half of the Analects, I've recently borrowed a lot of books from the Library and I'm reading them." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"Yes." Zhao Pu looked at Xu Yongzhi, he didn't expect this kid to fight hard, and he actually read a book, but now it's troublesome, this person is here, and his power is not stable, so he simply ......

"Your Majesty," Zhao Pu said to Zhao Kuangyin, "before dealing with Jing Nan, there is one of his own people to beat." ”

"Who?"

"Li Yun."

"What a headache." Zhao Kuangyin said.

Li Yun was the general of the Later Zhou Dynasty, guarding the western direction of the mountain, the commander of the Crane Army, and the Jiedu envoy who shot it with one sword.

"I heard that this person has always regarded himself as a relict of Zhou, and Wei Renpu cries Chai Rong at home every day, he has no soldiers. Li Yun misses Zhou Taizu at home all day long, and we have to ask him to come over and explain this matter clearly. Zhao Pu said.

"Send a messenger to see." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"This messenger must know how to fight, he must be able to fight, he can protect himself at a critical moment, and he must be smart. In my opinion, except for Yongzhi, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces could not find a suitable person. Zhao Pu said.

"Yongzhihui is very dangerous." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"If you want to understand the reality of this person, then send Yongzhi." Zhao Pu didn't let it at all.

"I'll go." Xu Yongzhi said.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Xu Yongzhi.

"Brother, this Li Yun is extraordinary, I use eight words to describe him, that is, he is full of drama and contains anti-heart! This time, you have to be careful! ”

At this time, Zhao Guangyi slammed the wine glass on the table.

"Damn!"

"What, King Jin, do you want to go to see Li Yun for Yongzhi?" Zhao Pu asked maliciously.

"Wicked woman! How dare you lie to your lord! It's also called the king's royal brother, phew! ”

Zhao Bangyi snorted and threw himself on the wine table of Zhao Pu's house.

"Drunk." Zhao Pu said softly.

"I'm drunk, too." Xu Yongzhi sighed and said helplessly.

"Drink in place." Zhao Kuangyin held his stomach and was satisfied.
