Xiao Ming has time, but it doesn't mean that everyone has time, Zhao Gou is going to have a lot of pressure now, this pressure comes from the harem, his mother Empress Wei and Empress Dowager Longyou and the people of the royal family who returned from the north always put some pressure on Zhao Gou from time to time.

The two emperors of the Great Song Dynasty were all taken captive, which is a kind of shame and shame to put it bluntly, how can the descendants of later generations not want to wash away the shame, so they asked Zhao Gou to launch the Northern Expedition as soon as possible, recover the lost land and return the two saints to the dynasty, for which Zhao Gou is naturally miserable.

At the time of the court meeting, the hundred officials also mentioned the Northern Expedition from time to time, but when Xiao Ming was present, he always prevaricated on the grounds that the army's preparations had not been completed, but the Northern Expedition had become a trend, and it was unstoppable.

But in terms of the time of the Northern Expedition, it is necessary to choose a more suitable time, Xiao Ming roughly set it in the summer of the third year of Jianyan, and the entire court of the Great Song Dynasty began to prepare intensively before the war, but Xiao Ming hid at home, Su Caier and Li Bing'er, the two wives, are going to have children! That's the big deal for him.

Among the people in the family, Shen Bei'er is a person who has come over, and all applications and preparations are greeted by her, Xiao Ming doesn't have to worry about anything, but he is still very nervous, Cai'er and Bing'er's due dates are very close, and the two ladies gave birth to two daughters for Xiao Ming one after the other, and this time Xiao Ming and his two daughters are complete!

For the second Xiao Ming, the two daughters were named Yu'er and Shuang'er! Yuna, who is more than two years old, stares at her pair of younger sisters with two big eyes! Very puzzled, Xiao Ming also found it interesting, thinking that he was a blessed person, now that the two daughters are complete, the family is big, and the realm of life is nothing more than that, right?

Xiao Ming's wife gave birth, and after the child was full moon, she celebrated with a full moon wine in Hangzhou, and at least more than half of the people in the entire Hangzhou city scooped up red eggs! It can be said that Xiao Ming is the lord of Hangzhou at this stage, and Kang Yunwen, the prefect of Hangzhou, specially sent him a longevity lock made of two pieces of silver as a gift.

Then the royal congratulatory gift also arrived, Zhao Gou's reward was the royal jade and Jue, the harem of the mother and the queen mother also had a reward, and at the same time there was a canonization of the will, a pair of daughters were given the title of Funan County Lord, even Xiao Ming's son was also given, Xiao Yunwu was named the head of the tiger captain, plus the hereditary marquis, so the title of the little marquis officially came down.

But as the prince of the imperial court, and the marquis, he didn't even have his own mansion, but he couldn't really talk about the merits, so Xiao Ming chose a plot of land near the east bank of the West Lake and prepared to build a marquis mansion for himself, but there were too many common facts, and he couldn't find time to do it.

The day was finally empty, Xiao Ming went to the Yongjinmen area of the West Lake to choose the land, but he found that the generation on the east bank of the West Lake has basically been occupied by various merchants in the Hangzhou business circle, if you have to choose a site here, you also need to buy land from others, which is very troublesome.

It stands to reason that Xiao Ming, as a product of the dynasty, should not be difficult to buy a piece of land to build a mansion, but the Great Song Dynasty has various decrees of the imperial court on land sales, and it cannot be forced to buy, and Xiao Ming does not want to be the first bird in this regard, he even feels that this place is not too quiet, and it is better to choose another location.

Since the east coast is not good, Xiao Ming simply asked for a boat, entered the West Lake and went west, and then went to the west bank to see, Xiao Ming was on an ordinary small yacht, rocked by the boat boss in the back, Xiao Ming sat in the cabin and closed his eyes to recuperate, Gu Xiaoliu and Guo Shouxin were by their side, they knew Xiao Ming's habit, that is, they didn't want to have too many followers when they went out.

Suddenly there was a sudden jolt, Xiao Ming didn't watch out for a stumble and almost fell, then he heard a reprimand outside, followed by the sound of the boatman's forgiveness, obviously it was a collision with the ship, and it was not an ordinary person's boat, with the other party's abuse Xiao Ming knew that he had met a master who was not easy to mess with.

He got out of the cabin and saw that the right bow of the dinghy and the port side of a large boat were crowded together, and the boat was an official ship, and it was a royal guard who scolded the boatman, which meant that the ship was still from the palace, not necessarily a lady or a prince visiting the West Lake.

The boatman knelt on the deck and kowtowed repeatedly, the guard was even more arrogant, and he was about to scoop people, Xiao Ming couldn't see it, and said to the guard: "The responsibility for the small boat touching the big ship should be on the big ship, and it didn't cause any losses, so why bother not letting people?" ”

That's for rolling his eyes and saying: "Crashing into the palace ship of the royal inner court is a capital crime in itself, do you also want to find death?" ”

Xiao Ming said: "The boat was hired by me, since you rammed my boat, it seems that you have also committed a felony, how do you think I will punish you?" ”

The man was furious and shouted, "It's the other way around! It's the other way around! This is so rampant for the people! Under the continuous whistle, a group of guards were called, and they stepped forward to catch Xiao Ming.

Of course, Gu Xiaoliu and Guo Shouxin would not let these people touch their masters, so they stepped forward and started fighting, and the two of them stretched out their hands naturally not comparable to those guards with wine bags and rice bags, they only listened: "Poof!" Poof! ...... "Constantly people are thrown into the water.

It was both a royal official ship and an inner court guard, and the boatman couldn't help but tremble with fear when he saw that Xiao Ming and his gang had actually knocked people into the water! Kneeling there and not moving! , Xiao Ming watched this good show with interest, and suddenly heard a burst of laughter like silver bells from the big boat!

A voice said: "Who am I so arrogant, it turns out to be Jian Nanhou!" Why does the famous Taishi Xiao have the same knowledge as a few subordinates? ”

A palace beauty with towering temples walked out, surrounded by maids and palace maids, this woman's temperament is elegant, she has a straight nose under the eyebrows of the moth, a small mouth is upturned, and her eyes look at Xiao Ming playfully.

Xiao Ming couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw it, and then said angrily: "Whose subordinate is my Dao is so unreasonable, it turns out to be your subordinate, what kind of master is there, what kind of slave will there be!" ”

He knows this beauty, isn't that the famous Fumao Emperor Zhao Fujin! After being rescued by Xiao Ming last time, she returned to Yingtianfu and never came out of the harem, Xiao Ming seemed to be used to seeing her in men's clothes, and suddenly saw Zhao Fujin in women's clothes, and couldn't help but be attracted by her beauty for a while, so that she walked away.

Today's Zhao Fujin has been named Princess Maofu by Zhao Gou, there are few brothers and sisters left, his ninth brother has become the emperor, and his identity has become more and more noble, but he has been reluctant to talk about marriage for a long time, Empress Wei persuaded her several times, but she didn't listen, Zhao Gou also thought that this sister was because she had been promised to Cai Jing's son as a daughter-in-law and was angry.

Compared with the original men's clothes and walking in the rivers and lakes, Zhao Fujin is now hiding in the deep palace, although he has added a graceful and luxurious temperament, and lacks the spirit of a chivalrous woman, but Xiao Ming admits that Zhao Fujin is indeed a beauty! I just don't know why she always has a sadness between her eyebrows!

Zhao Fujin saw that Xiao Ming suddenly felt speechless, and couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, and after half a sound, she sighed and said: "Every time I am robbed by you, I always can't talk about you!" You're really my enemy in my previous life! ”

As soon as Xiao Ming spoke, he regretted a little in his heart, now this woman's identity is not as noble as before, she is surrounded by so many subordinates and makes people unable to get off the stage, it really shouldn't be, not to mention that she is still a princess! Xiao Ming coughed dryly and said, "The princess swam alone in the lake, and I bumped into Yaxing, it seems that I am wrong, and I apologize to you!" Please Haihan."

Zhao Fujin glanced at Xiao Ming and said, "Since you know your crimes, how do you think this princess will cure your crimes?" ”

Xiao Ming suddenly said with a hippie smile: "How about punishing me to be a tour guide for you, I am from Hangzhou, I am familiar with the West Lake, and it is not interesting for the princess to visit the lake alone without a guide, right?" ”

"People say you're as smooth as a fish, and you're right! Since this is the case, then there is Lao Houye! ”

……

The two of them sat in the living room on the palace boat, the palace maid offered fragrant tea, and then retreated, Xiao Ming suddenly felt very embarrassed, he didn't know what to say, and he felt in his heart to point out those famous names in the beautiful scenery of the West Lake to Zhao Fujin, so that she could be happy to play, to put it bluntly, there was really no intersection between the two.

But Zhao Fujin opened his mouth first: "Hou Ye is a person from Hangzhou, how does he feel when he returns to his hometown now?" ”

"Of course it's my hometown!"

"But our hometown is not here!" Zhao Fujin's tone changed, and he said: "Brother Huang will entrust you with the important task of the Northern Expedition, but I don't know when the Hou Ye will be able to lead the army to the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, recover the homeland and welcome my father and brother back to the court?" ”

It's annoying to say it again! Xiao Ming kept hearing such similar words during this time, which made him tired of explaining: "When? When? Your two imperial brothers are both emperors, do you want the two of them to come back and fight? Xiao Ming was full of slander in his stomach, but he couldn't say these words.

He could only arch his hand and say: "It still takes some time to prepare before the Northern Expedition can be officially launched, I ......"

Zhao Fujin interrupted him and said: "You, like Brother Jiu, what you say is another thing from what you think in your heart, I also know that when the eldest brother comes back, Brother Jiu will be very embarrassed, but when I think of my father and mother suffering in the north, I ......" Speaking of sadness, Zhao Fujin couldn't help but shed tears.

Xiao Ming saw that she was pitiful, and the pear blossoms brought rain, so he opened his mouth to comfort: "The princess doesn't have to be sad, the day of your reunion will not be too far away!" ”

Zhao Fujin said: "Let you laugh, I know this matter is very difficult for you, you are my benefactor of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am also my benefactor, I have never known how to repay you!" ”

"How to repay, the princess is serious!"

"I've always been thinking about the fact that we will hold the Anti-Jin Volunteer Conference together, you are still my alliance leader!"

Xiao Ming suddenly thought that he really lacked a person who could ventilate and report to him in the palace, but was it a bit of that to involve this princess, so he turned to say: "I heard that the princess has a stunt in embroidery, I don't know if you can give me a piece of this embroidery, so that the ladies in my family can study it well, even if the alliance leader gives you the task, haha!" ”

Zhao Fujin couldn't help but feel a little sad when he heard Xiao Ming mention the wife of the family, but then nodded and said, "The alliance leader has an order, dare not obey!" ”

The two talked some gossip again, Xiao Ming said goodbye and left, but he was always quite uncomfortable, he didn't know why, a few days later, Xiao Ming was teasing a pair of daughters at home, but the palace people in the palace sent the embroidery of the lord of Fumao, which was the embroidery of a lonely bird staring at the two lingering fish in the water by the water, which was quite expressive.

Xiao Ming saw this picture and was lost, he already knew what the princess was thinking, but he was helpless, and in these days, the train from Hangzhou to Jinling was officially opened, and the connection of this railway line was equivalent to stringing together the richest places in the entire Jiangnan region, and it was of great importance to the economic and trade development of the entire Jiangnan.

Xiao Ming also officially set off for Jinling, preparing to make final preparations for the Northern Expedition, and at the same time he wanted to officially choose Jinling as the capital for Gaozong Zhao, which was something that had been planned for a long time.
