Chapter 588: Royal Sailor

Coming out of the martial arts academy, Shen Ao hit the horse and entered the palace directly, and when he arrived at the Zhengde Gate, the guards at the door all recognized him, and only asked Shen Ao to wait in the yin of the door, and came when he was informed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Then Yang Jian hurried over and smiled at Shen Ao from afar.

Shen Ao walked over quickly and asked, "Your Majesty is in Wenjing Pavilion?" ”

Yang Jian said: "In the palace of the Empress Dowager." After a pause, he said: "The last time you entered the palace, you only saw the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was still complaining!" said that the love with you was light, just right, go to her old man's house today to say hello. ”

Shen Ao nodded, and the two of them passed through the palace prohibitions one after the other, entered the harem, and went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom. Yang Jian went to report first, and Shen Ao paced in, and greeted the Empress Dowager first, only to see Zhao Ji sitting under the curtain drinking tea slowly.

The Empress Dowager said with a smile: "If it weren't for the official family here, I'm afraid that Shen Ao would still refuse to come to the mourning family!" ”

Shen Ao immediately said: "The last time I entered the palace, I saw that it was not early, and I was afraid that I would miss the key to the palace gate, so I didn't come, so I asked the empress dowager to forgive me." ”

"Come on, whether you come or not, it's not uncommon to mourn home. As long as you are willing to serve the official family, it is red tape to see the mourning family, and you don't have to be serious. What else did His Majesty say, yes, it was the princess of Xixia who got married, and she wanted to choose a concubine, you are from Honglu Temple, you must know about it, right? ”

Shen Ao was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhao Ji, and saw Zhao Ji's eyebrows slightly furrowed, quite distressed, and said: "Weichen just came back, rested at home for a few days, and today I went to the Wubei Academy first, and the Honglu Temple has not asked yet." I really don't know anything about this. ”

Zhao Ji coughed and said, "The only son of Li Qianshun, the king of Western Xia, fell on a horse and died of his death. Therefore, there is only one daughter, the most favored, it is said that she was going to marry the prince of Jin, and then the princess did not obey, and she wanted to choose a son-in-law in person. Although there are many princes in me, the three princes are the most talented, but the Tangut people are brutal, and they can't do it by learning alone, and in the end, I'm afraid that the prince of Jin will win the championship. Li Qianshun is only one daughter, and the relationship between Jin Xia is afraid that it will go further. ”

Shen Ao immediately understood, maybe the Empress Dowager still didn't understand, after all, Shen Ao was in Honglu Temple, and he could see through this kind of thing at a glance. Jin Xia had a covenant before, but on the other hand, it was not completely unguarded, this covenant was just a joint attack and defense. On the surface, it seems to be very harmful, but in fact, it is not to the point of death.

I'm afraid of the Jin Xia relationship, because this marriage is more closely connected, and what is even more terrifying is that if the Xia people are willing to give the Jin soldiers a way, the Jin army can drive straight in, through the Xia realm, and attack the passes of the Great Song Dynasty.

This terrible result, in the past, there was naturally no problem, but after the marriage, it is difficult to say, marriage has long been prevalent between countries, it is already a naked diplomatic skill, but different marriages, the results are different, such as Li Qianshun's this time, there is only one daughter, even the prince is dead, just this bloodline, marrying out, is roughly equivalent to handing over the life of the family to others, this marriage, the significance is extraordinary.

In the past, Western Xia still had precautions against the Jin people, but after marriage, it was different. This time, even if no one in the Great Song Dynasty marries the princess of Naxixia, he must destroy the prince of Jin to marry. It's no wonder that Zhao Ji is worried, after all, it is Xixia, not where you say the same, something went wrong, or a big deal.

Now although the armament of the Great Song Dynasty has been effective, it is far from enough, with the current strength to face off with the Jin people, only God knows.

Shen Ao only vaguely remembered that the Great Song Dynasty in history was in the Northern Expedition to the Liao State at this time, and the 100,000 army was killed by the Khitans without leaving a single piece of armor, and was defeated. However, these same Khitans were chased and killed by the Jin people in the north, and as soon as they came into contact, they immediately collapsed. The reason why it can still be supported now is because it can barely resist by relying on the fortress, and it is only a matter of time before it falls.

In the face of such a terrible opponent, if you are not prepared, even if you can save Jingkang's shame and defend Bianjing, but outside Bianjing, the thousands of miles of fertile land, countless villages and people, will be killed and plundered by the Jin. The blood flowed like a river, and the corpses were lying in wait for thousands of miles, such a scene, Shen Ao felt terrible just thinking about it.

The Empress Dowager smiled faintly and said: "A Xixia princess, our clan really disdains to marry, but the official family says that it is a matter of national affairs, and there must be a candidate, how about Chen Guogong?" He is not yet married, and the time has come for him to take a wife. ”

Zhao Ji shook his head: "Chen Guogong will only make people laugh at me for having no one in the Song Dynasty." ”

The Empress Dowager said again: "What about King Jing? King Jing is said to be good at guns since he was a child, so maybe he can give it a try. After all, the Tangut people are barbarians, and I heard that they respect heroes the most. ”

Zhao Ji still shook his head: "Li Qianshun is good at my Great Song Dynasty culture, and once ordered the children of three hundred nobles to study, such a person is not a reckless man who can win his favor, and he will not be able to."

The Empress Dowager said with a smile: "Actually, there is one of us who will definitely be able to win his favor, but unfortunately he has already married a wife." ”

Zhao Ji said: "Who is it?" ”

The Empress Dowager glanced at Shen Ao and said, "Of course it's the King of Penglai." ”

Shen Ao was embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I didn't expect Weichen to have such a good impression in the Empress Dowager's mind." ”

The Empress Dowager said with a straight face: "The impression is not good, I only know that you Shen Lengzi is the most profligate, but you are very skillful at coaxing the girl's family." Besides, you are Shen Lengzi, even if you can't marry that princess back, you will definitely destroy the matter of the Jin prince marrying the princess of Xixia. You can't rely on doing good deeds, and you have a lot of experience in turning good things into bad things. ”

Shen Ao's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but say, "Why did the Empress Dowager say this?" Weichen is really wronged, in fact, Weichen is kind-hearted and very good, maybe the Empress Dowager does not have a deep understanding of Weichen to have this misunderstanding. If you don't believe me, you go and ask the official family, what is my character, he knows best. ”

Zhao Ji immediately said: "I don't know your flowery intestines, the King of Jin just came to complain, saying that you are a big man, but you actually ran to Qinghe's boudoir, a negligence, almost caused a big disaster, you said yourself, what kind of character are you?" ”

Shen Ao suddenly lowered his head in shame and didn't dare to speak again.

The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "Like a child, don't mess around like this in the future." ”

Zhao Ji also smiled: "The queen mother doesn't have to worry about this, anyway, the Xixia side is also three months later, I will think about it again." ”

The Empress Dowager said: "The mourning family doesn't want to worry about it, but I'm afraid that the official family will work hard for this." After that, he looked at Shen Ao and said, "Shen Ao came to find the official's family, there must be something wrong, right?" ”

Shen Ao said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager is clever, Weichen is breathtaking, everyone says that the Empress Dowager is the most empathetic, it is a virtuous queen in my Song Dynasty in a hundred years, Weichen used to be unbelievable, and there are many queen mothers of my Great Song Dynasty, dignified and virtuous like a carp crossing the river, how can the Empress Dowager occupy the sole position alone?" Today, I've seen it, ah, I've been looking up for a long time. He giggled for a while, and then squeezed his eyebrows at Zhao Ji and said, "Weichen came here to discuss the matter of the water master with His Majesty." ”

Zhao Ji listened to Shen Ao's nonsense, which made the Empress Dowager happy, and she also laughed, and said, "You said, what are you doing selling so many guanzi?" ”

Shen Ao said: "The sailor side is about to be built, the Nanyang side is about the same, and the Beiyang and Dongyang are recruiting people, Weichen is thinking, the sailor is adrift all the year round, and it is the most important thing to maintain a loyalty." Weichen means that the sailor cannot be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty alone, nor can he be loyal to the imperial court alone......"

The Empress Dowager frowned: "If you are not loyal to my Great Song Dynasty and the imperial court, who will you be loyal to?" ”

Shen Ao said: "Naturally, the royal family and Your Majesty, the Great Song Dynasty Sailor, are adrift in the waves of thousands of miles, if you don't have a belief in your heart, how can you be willing to serve?" Therefore, when Weichen came over, he wanted to ask His Majesty to give the name of the sailor, why not call him the royal sailor? ”

The Empress Dowager began to be a little displeased, and after listening to Shen Ao's words, she couldn't help but smile: "The sailor is adrift, and it is also hard, and the mourning family has heard that going to sea is uncomfortable, and there are wind and waves, and it is bumpy, and it will take half a year and months to go out once, so it should be comforted." Royal Mariner? Official, this name is good. ”

Zhao Ji smiled when he heard this: "Okay, just call the Royal Sailor, and I will make a decree immediately." ”

Shen Ao breathed a sigh of relief, and finally fooled the palace here, with the golden sign of the royal family, you can still fool around outside, there is no one who can get involved with the royal family in these years, the sailor is considered to have set a precedent, those hot-blooded young people, when they heard it, they must be screaming to go in, and now recruit people first.

How did the Empress Dowager know that Shen Ao said so much eloquently, in fact, she wanted to use this signboard to deceive; If you knew, you probably wouldn't have to pull it out and spank it.

At this time, the Empress Dowager had a better impression of Shen Ao in her heart, and always felt that Shen Ao was a first-class loyal minister, and it was good to be loyal to the imperial court and the Great Song Dynasty, but it was more direct to be loyal to the royal family and the Son of Heaven.

After sitting down and chatting in the palace for a while, Shen Ao saw that it was not early, so he took his leave and went home satisfied.

Among the six departments, the yamen of the military department is said to be big or small, but compared with other ministries and halls, this yamen is generally full of doors, and usually except for some officials who enter and exit, it is impossible to see people.

It's no wonder that the Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light on martial arts, and there was a soldier in front of the Ministry of War, which inevitably made people look down on a few points. In addition, the bigwigs in the border towns are either eunuchs or civil servants, and they are directly responsible to the Privy Council, even if they ask people to come back for business, they also go directly to the Privy Council, and they take a detour to this military department.

The people who came here were all middle-level officers, urging them to get grain and grass, or asking for an explanation on behalf of the border towns and the feudal divisions, and they sat in the yatang, didn't drink any tea, didn't want anything, and then complained loudly, saying that the brothers were dying of hunger, why didn't they pay the money? Or maybe the last time the thieves were killed, so many brothers died, why didn't the pension money come yet?

Anyway, the good thing can't find the military department, and the bad thing must come here, plus these generals are all hippie faces, and on the Privy Council, one by one, they are honest, and when they come to this military department, it's another way.

Fortunately, the old men in the military department don't care about this kind of chores, and they can't avoid this kind of person, and they are still those officials who suffer, so they have to deal with them.

In the military department as a Xu official, it is really miserable, but it is gradually numb, seeing people are all three points of laughter, practicing a pair of kung fu, every morning to go to the point, and then go their own way, the book of the book, the station of the station, the service of the master.

At this time, roughly when the sun rises, there will be a small sedan chair coming slowly, the person sitting in the sedan chair is Cai Juan, Cai Qian also learned a little Cai Jing's style, and the pomp and circumstance of going out is as economical as possible, but Cai Qian generally gets up late, not as diligent as Cai Jing, and never wants to come to the ministry until the sun is three poles.

The small sedan chair was put down safely, and the officials recognized the sedan chair at a glance, came over one by one, and said with a flattering smile: "Master Cai is here......

Cai Qian didn't pay attention to it at all, got out of the sedan chair, just smiled coldly, and then said, "How are you in the hall?" ”

This is a question that does not move through the wind and rain; The officials immediately said: "It's good, but there is a doctor from the Martial Arts Academy who wants to see the master of the department, and the villains arranged him in the guest hall and asked him to wait first." ”

"It's the Martial Arts Academy again!" Cai Qian sneered, and raised his hand in displeasure: "Let him wait slowly, this official will take care of official affairs first." As he spoke, he picked up his purple-clothed official clothes, took a few steps up the stairs, and went straight to the yamen.

After a few archways, it is the main hall, that is, the office of Lord Shangshu, but this main hall is empty, Cai Qian still likes to work in the ear room next to the main hall, there is a big event, or there are distinguished guests to meet, only to come here. Along the way, several hall officials saluted Cai Juan, but Cai Qian just bowed slightly to them and didn't pay too much attention. Turned into the ear chamber, sat down behind the public chamber, and immediately a servant brought tea.

Cai Qian waved his hand at him: "You don't need to serve here, is Li Shilang here?" If he comes, call him to the officer. ”
