During this period of time, Yang Weizhong lived in the mansion in the city.

To the outside world, it is called recuperation, but in fact, everyone who knows the inside story understands that it is house arrest.

Yao Gu thought of the friendship of the robe, and did not treat it harshly, except that he was not allowed to go out, other requirements were basically met.

In the courtyard, Yang Weizhong sat in the shade of a tree, holding a copy of "Qingzhou Morning Post" and reading it fascinatingly.

Now, "Qingzhou Daily" has completely occupied the market, and many tabloids have been squeezed out of space and have closed down.

After the dominance of one family, after internal discussions in the Jinju Academy, the "Qingzhou Daily" was split into three periodicals.

"Qingzhou Morning Post" focuses on current political periodicals, and has everything from various countries, and is a must-read for officials and businessmen.

Yes, businessmen also read the "Qingzhou Morning Post", and the deadline does not fall, even if it is delayed due to something, they will try their best to make up for it.

Because these businessmen gradually discovered that often an inconspicuous news is a business opportunity to make a fortune.

"Qingzhou Daily" is an entertainment magazine, with anecdotes, celebrity romances, etc., rich in content and all-encompassing, with audiences ranging from princes and nobles to peddlers and pawns.

The third journal is Qingzhou Wenbao, which mainly publishes articles on various schools, as well as agriculture, medicine, engineering, arithmetic and other disciplines.

Although the audience is not as good as the former, it is not too inferior, after all, the number of readers in the Qi and Song dynasties is very large, and in addition, readers from Jinguo, Xixia, Dali and other countries will also ask to buy and watch, and even often appear to be difficult to find.

Moreover, the reader stickiness is extremely high.

You must know that literary exchanges are not an easy task these days, especially in agriculture, arithmetic, medicine and other disciplines.

On weekdays, it is difficult to find a like-minded friend, let alone a professional academic discussion.

Now, "Qingzhou Wenbao" provides them with a platform for communication through the air, so that they can easily carry out academic exchanges and share results.

The biggest obstacle to the so-called integration of the north and the south lies in exchanges.

However, "Qingzhou Daily" unconsciously broke this obstacle and made the communication smoother.

Yang Weizhong these days, all rely on newspapers to pass the time, often a newspaper has to be read several times, although not leaving home, but through three newspapers, you can also know the world's affairs.

"Alas!"

Yang Weizhong let out a long sigh.

Xijing Road was recovered, the states of Hedong Road surrendered, and the Qi State completely gained a firm foothold.

At this point, the offense and defense changed shape, and the northern barbarians could no longer cause trouble to the Qi country.

Although the war in the south fell into a stalemate due to the rain for several days, the Great Song Dynasty stabilized the situation for the time being, but the defeat was decided.

With the sixteen states of Yanyun in hand and stabilizing the north, the Qi State will be able to free up its hands and attack the Great Song Dynasty with all its might.

"Master, it's time to take medicine."

At this moment, a charming woman came with a bowl.

This woman is Yang Weizhong's concubine, named Hui Niang, who is quite loved by him, and has been included in the house at the age of sixteen, and has been for more than ten years.

Hearing this, Yang Weizhong said angrily: "I'm not sick, what kind of medicine do I drink?" ”

"Yes, yes, my lord is not sick, it's just an herbal tea to dispel the fire and brighten the eyes, just drink it quickly."

Hui Niang was like coaxing a child, so she let Yang Weizhong drink the medicinal juice.

Two years ago, when the Shandong rebellion was quelled, he was captured by Han Zhen and fell seriously ill in the prisoner of war camp.

In the end, he is old and has fallen ill, and he will always cough intermittently for a while during the spring and summer season.

After Yang Weizhong finished drinking the medicine, Hui Niang took out the handkerchief, gently wiped the corners of his mouth, and then advised: "It's cold after sunset, don't sit too long." ”

"I'm provincial."

Yang Weizhong nodded, continued to look at the newspaper in his hand, and deduced the battle situation in the south in his mind.

Seeing this, Hui Niang sighed slightly and turned to leave.

"Xiangyang is an important town on the Yangtze River, and it must not be lost, and if Xiangyang is not lost, Shu will be safe. Although Zong Ze couldn't hold out, Liu Qi's little boy did the strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements, constantly annihilating reinforcements, attacking and disturbing the grain road, and it was only a matter of time before Xiangyang was breached. Liu Yanqing holds the water division in his hand, but he is entangled with the Qi army in Jinghu, he is as stupid as a cow, Liu Qi has no water army under his command, and now he needs to go north to relieve the siege of Xiangyang......"

As soon as the words fell, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.

Yang Weizhong raised his head, and when he saw Huiniang going and returning, he looked flustered, and couldn't help frowning: "What happened?" ”

Hui Niang replied, "Master, Your Majesty is here!" ”

"Which Your Majesty?"

Yang Weizhong was stunned.

Without waiting for Hui Niang to answer, a familiar figure passed through the weeping flower gate and walked into the small courtyard: "General Yang, don't come unharmed for a few years." ”

Yang Weizhong suddenly got up and stared at Han Zhen with a complicated expression.

Han Zhen chuckled and said, "Why don't you salute when you see me?" ”

Although it was a question, there was no blame in his tone.

Yang Weizhong stiffened his neck and said, "I am Song Chen." ”

Han Zhen retorted: "Zhao Song Jing Kang Emperor Zhao Huan has already surrendered to me, how can Song Chen come from?" ”

Calling the emperor by the name of the year was actually rare before the Ming Dynasty.

Mainly the emperors before the Ming Dynasty often changed the era name, and many even changed more than a dozen, so it is inconvenient to call it with the era name, while the Ming Dynasty adopted the system of one emperor and one yuan, and an emperor can only use one era name in his life.

Therefore, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were mostly called by their year names, such as Emperor Hongwu, Emperor Jianwen, and Emperor Yongle...... Emperor Zhengde, Emperor Jiajing and so on.

But Zhao Huan is more special, not long after he ascended the throne, he was attacked by Han Zhen and fled incognito, with only one year name Jingkang.

The key is that he is not dead, he can't be called the first emperor, the emperor Zhao Ji is still there, and there is a younger brother Zhao Kai who succeeds to the throne, so he can only be called by the name of the year.

“……”

Yang Weizhong's tone froze.

When he faced Yao Gu at the beginning, he could flatly deny Zhao Huan's surrender, but now that Han Zhen, the main master, was here, he couldn't deceive himself anymore.

Han Zhen continued to ask: "You keep claiming to be Song Chen, why do you ignore Emperor Jingkang's handwritten letters, isn't it disloyal and unfilial, and rebellious?" ”

Yang Weizhong was embarrassed.

The main reason for this embarrassing situation is that the operation of the old Zhao family is really outrageous.

Zhao Huan is not dead yet, Zhao Ji can't wait to re-ascend the throne, and then give it to Zhao Kai.

What about Zhao Huan?

Is it still the emperor of the Song Kingdom?

From the legal point of view, it is counted, after all, he neither abdicated nor died.

And now, Zhao Huan made it clear that he had surrendered to the Qi State, and the Southern Song State was a puppet regime set up by traitorous ministers.

This knife is too ruthless.

Yang Weizhong is an honest man, and he can't compare to those literati who are articulate and can speak well, so he was speechless for a while.

"Emperor Jing Kang has surrendered to me, been named the king of Song, and spent his days in Shandong, you are not only an old minister of the Song Kingdom, but now you should also be my courtier. See me, why don't you worship? ”

"This ......"

Yang Weizhong only felt that his brain was a little messy, and he wanted to refute it, but he couldn't say it.

Because Han Zhen's words, from a logical and legal point of view, are fine.

"If you are sick, I will not pursue it, this is a letter written by Han Shizhong to Ling."

Han Zhen said, took out a letter from his arms and handed it over.

Hearing that it was Han Shizhong's letter, Yang Weizhong immediately accepted it.

"I look at your complexion, I think you have recovered from your illness, and you will return to the army tomorrow to resume your duties."

Han Zhen said that, regardless of whether Yang Weizhong agreed or not, he turned around and left, leaving only Yang Weizhong in confusion.

After leaving the mansion, Yao Gu, who had been silently following behind him, hesitated: "Your Majesty, will General Yang go to the barracks tomorrow?" ”

"I don't know."

Han Zhen shook his head and smiled.

When dealing with people like Yang Weizhong, persuasion is useless, so you have to cut through the mess quickly and directly cause the established facts.

With Han Shizhong's letter, there is a high probability that it will be successful.

Try it, if you succeed, you will succeed, and if you don't succeed, forget it.

Yang Weizhong is a person with outstanding ability, and he is the inventor of the walled fort tactics, this is exactly where Han Zhen takes a fancy to the future, to recover the Northern Land and Western Xia, in the face of the vast land, how to control it?

Can't you build a city like the Central Plains?

That's too costly.

Therefore, the construction of the walled fort is the most practical and cost-effective.

At the same time, the walled fort can form a complete defensive system with firearms, artillery and fierce fire oil tanks.

If Yang Weizhong can be loyal, Han Zhen can save a lot of worry.
