In the early years of Xianping, with the help of Kou Zhun and Lu Duan, Zhao Heng opened up fields, introduced high-yield crops, reduced taxes, and countless wild people entered the land of the Great Song Dynasty, and the population of the Great Song Dynasty increased by nearly 300,000 households in just three years, and the court became more and more clear.

However, in Zhao Heng's heart, Kou Zhun and Lu Duan are still the courtiers of the emperor after all, the authority is too heavy, and the traces left are too heavy, Kou Zhun naturally doesn't care about the emperor's thoughts, but how Lu Duan's extraordinary spirit is comparable to that of Confucian sages, he naturally sensed Zhao Heng's thoughts.

As an official for a long time, after several dynasties, this great Confucian does have some meaning to see through the red dust, since Zhao Heng has such a mind, he is too lazy to intrigue with him, and admonished Kou Zhun, he said goodbye to Kaifeng and returned to his hometown to retire.

Of course, Zhao Heng also guessed Lu Duan's thoughts, but he had made up his mind to keep him several times, so he no longer insisted, and he was crowned with several honors and promoted to a first-level official rank.

Lu Duan left, and the phase he left behind became Zhao Heng's teacher and Li Xin's subordinate of the East Palace, this person is also an important reason why Lu Duan dared to leave.

For Da Song, who is currently recuperating, he is simply the most suitable candidate for prime minister.

However, Lu Duan, who thought that he could finally let go of the burden of his family and country, didn't know that not long after he left Kaifeng, with the opening of the autumn festival this time, several students with unusual looks also entered the city of Tokyo!

......

The rickety carriage made people drowsy, the official road that had been carefully trimmed was extremely straight, and Lu Duan, who left the capital, was naturally relaxed, and his family had already returned to his hometown first, and he would not go back if he wanted to stay in the court, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

A few guards and old servants followed him and headed towards the boundary of Youzhou.

The trees on both sides of the official road are dense, but there are not many robbers who are haunted, where are the ordinary ruffians who are the opponents of these people who escort the former prime minister's return to their hometowns?

was beaten and fled in three or two clicks, but something came to Lu Duan's ears, which made him start to lift his spirits, and even turned around and approached the sixteen states of Yanyun near the enemy country!

It is said that the sixteen states of Yanyun are actually a little norther than Lu Duan's hometown, that is, the so-called Yanjing region of Youzhou, but it is not too far from his hometown, and a turn is his hometown Youzhou Anci.

Since the Later Jin Emperor Shi Jingjiao ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the entire Northern Central Plains has been torn apart, and Youzhou has also been divided into several parts.

At this time, they came to a small mountain depression near Yanjing in Youzhou.

If it weren't for hearing the wind, Lu Duan and his party would never have imagined that there was a village in such a small mountain depression that was only five miles in circumference, and less than ten households were living peacefully.

You must know that the sixteen states of Yanyun often have the army of the Liao State come out to fight the autumn wind, sweeping back and forth these Han villages, especially the villages near the border of the Great Song Dynasty, almost all of them have been wiped out.

I don't know what kind of luck kept them from being disturbed here.

Just when they were surprised, a child who was no more than three or four years old in open crotch pants and coarse cloth clothes saw them, showed a look of novelty, and ran over.

"Who are you? Where did it come from? ”

The milky words were quite organized, which made Lu Duan's eyes shine.

"Little doll, where are you here? How many parents do you have at home? ”

Lu Duan squatted down with a smile, allowing himself to be the same height as a child, and his long beard fluttering in the wind was very good.

The child pursed his lips and burped: "The old man asked you first, why did you ask me instead, and you smiled as soon as you met, according to what my mother said, it must be ill-intentioned!" ”

After saying that, he quickly pulled out his legs and ran, shouting as he ran.

"Someone! Someone! Adults are bullying children here! Come on!! ”

Not to mention, he is not very old, but his steps are quite fast, and he has already entered the village in a hurry, causing a lot of commotion.

Seeing that his movements were stopped by Lu Duan, the guards were puzzled.

"Why didn't the adults let me catch that little broken boy first, how could he say that people were going to bully him before he finished a sentence?"

Lu Duan smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, don't worry, what's more, the terrain here is strange but there is no mystery, there must be extraordinary people living there, we may not be able to get any news if we rush in, but we will take the initiative as soon as this kid makes trouble." ”

When the guard heard this, he understood, and retreated to the rear with a fist, but he was alert in his heart, and he was very vigilant, this place seems to be ordinary, but it must be extraordinary if it has not been discovered and invaded by the Liao State, and the old man must not be hurt by anything.

Touching his long beard, Lu Duan's eyes were full of essence, and it was by no means possible for ordinary people to make such a young child speak in an orderly manner, not to mention that the child's mind was as sharp as a real person, and it was by no means comparable to the ordinary, so I don't know what kind of family it is.

It didn't take long for several figures in the village to come out, and when they saw Lu Duan and his party, a trace of curiosity flashed in their eyes, but they quickly covered up the past.

Naturally, they had already seen a group of people watching their village, but they didn't pay attention to it when they saw that they didn't make any moves, and they didn't expect that the second dog of the Chen family would provoke them, so they had to go out to deal with it.

"I've seen you!"

A lean farmer at the head arched his hand and said respectfully.

"The child is naughty, which makes everyone laugh!"

Lu Duan carefully looked at the face of the person who spoke, but he couldn't find a character who could match, and suddenly spoke: "The old man is the former prince of the Great Song Dynasty, Lu Duan, and it is quite fateful to tell the old man to return to his hometown today to see you, I don't know where you are in the fairy town?" ”

"I look smart at this child, and it's rare to have a little bit of an apprentice's mind, can I let you love the old man?"

No one expected that Lu Duan would accept the apprentice's words as soon as he came up, and even the bear child showed a sluggish face, and the words that the leading farmer had come up with were useless.

"This... This..."

The farmer said rather jerkyly: "Boss, the child is stubborn, and he is a country man, so I am afraid that it will tarnish your reputation, so forget it!" ”

"Humph!"

Suddenly, the boy spoke up.

"Who are you? Why did you take me as a disciple? I already have a husband, are you better than my husband? ”

The guards couldn't look at it anymore, what kind of identity he was as an adult, accepting a child as an apprentice was simply a blessing they had cultivated in their previous life, and they actually pushed back and forth.

"I have served several generations of Emperor Song, and I am the prime minister who has governed the world for decades, not to mention the prestige in the Shilin, and the knowledge is comparable to the sages and Confucians, and the willingness to accept you as an apprentice is simply your previous life..."

"That's it! Don't say it! Lu Duan shouted softly, and then looked at the child: "Then who is your husband?" Where do you live? ”

"My husband is my husband! I live in the hut on the hill..."

Before the fairy tale was finished, his father gagged him, and the peasant arched his hand.

"Boss, why bother with a child's words, if you want to find someone, just take you there!"

At the end of a distant mountain depression, a small building looms in a place where clouds and mist linger.
