The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The old one is much calmer, the clouds are calm and the wind is light. After all, he has seen many storms and knows the two people in front of him too well. They praised you to the sky and did not delay in rectifying you.

"Yang Shaozai beat the Jurchen hard this time, and after killing Yan Wu and begging to buy, I'm afraid the Jin people will not let it go, we have to prevent them from negotiating peace with the Liao people." Zhong Shidao said earnestly, frowning, obviously really worrying about the country Concerned about the people.

Yang Lin nodded secretly, the old man was worthy of being a good general of the country, and he had no resentment when he was placed in the Privy Council by himself, instead he was very considerate for the country.

Such people are more at ease to use, but their Western Army likes to make things up too much, the old kind is their spiritual leader, and they must be controlled in Bianliang, and it is very useful for occasional use.

He has a lot of strategic vision, and a place like the Privy Council is actually very suitable for him.

Letting him go to the Northwest to deal with those stupid things and suppress those arrogant soldiers would be a double blow to his body and spirit.

"Don't worry, old man. We can't hope that the peace talks between the Liao and Jin Dynasties will fail. Yelu Yanxi only wants peace and has no intention of making progress. If the Jurchen talks about peace, he will definitely agree. We must focus on ourselves and have After the Youyanping Fan, the Jurchen Tartars are not so scary, I have fought against them, they are very strong, but they can fight!"

Lao Zhong and Cai Jing attached great importance to these words and listened carefully.Yang Lin shared every detail of the battlefield, as well as his own experience, with the two of them.

Seeing that the ministers had almost left, Yang Lin smiled and said, "It's time today, why not come to my house and we can talk in detail."

Several people hit it off immediately, and they came to Zhaodefang by car. Li Yunniang saw such a person, so she nervously arranged for the kitchen to help Yang Lin entertain the guests.

After Yang Lin, Cai Jing, Zhong Shi Dao, and Zhong Shi did not use official positions, they only sat down in order of age. They are heavy armored and fine cavalry charging into the formation, which can be said to be invincible. But their strength is actually very small, most of them are Liao soldiers, and the servants and horses are all surrendered soldiers from Daliao. Their fighting spirit is not high, and most of them are used as cannon fodder by the Jurchens The only one who is stronger is the Bohai soldiers.

Now we are backed by the Great Wall, and there is Youyan Junzhou in it, and I have sent people to build a lot of fortifications along the way, with heavy troops guarding, Youyan will not be afraid of Jurchen's revenge. "

Cai Jing immediately asked: "The Jurchen soldiers have conquered many dangerous passes and fortified cities in Daliao. Are they so powerful in attacking the city?"

Yang Lin said with a smile: "I don't know what kindness is. The Khitan people are going against the law, and the people everywhere are in dire straits. In addition, the Jurchen's record of defeating 70 Liao soldiers is too appalling. Many places have heard the news and fled. It's hard to resist desperately." I heard that those who opened the door and surrendered accounted for the majority."

The master Zhong interjected: "That's right, look at Yunzhou Mansion. An Yan Aguda has led his troops to attack for so long, and they haven't reached the city of Datong, which is proof."

After a while, the wine and dishes were put on the table. Yang Lin just wanted to persuade him to drink. He glanced at today's lineup, rolled his eyes, and suddenly had an idea.

Chapter 4

"I found a strange stone in the Youyan area, and I am preparing to present it to His Majesty."

The three people present were all stunned when they heard the words. Zhong Shidao held a teacup in his hand, stopped in mid-air, and stared at Yang Lin in a daze.The latter looked smug and pleased with himself: "This stone is no worse than the strange stone of Taihu Lake. I believe His Majesty will like it."

Cai Jing couldn't figure out what Yang Lin was thinking, and the brothers of the Chong family had already cursed inwardly: Are you sick? A Hua Shigang almost turned Jiangnan upside down, and now you want to come again?

At least there is a canal to transport the strange stones in Taihu Lake. The road in Youyan in the north is different. You really aroused the emperor's interest.

Master Zhong said in a deep voice: "In the barren land in the north, where can you grow good stones? Let's forget about it. Besides, the roads in the north are blocked, and even if there are strange stones, it is difficult to transport them to Bianliang. On the way, I am afraid It’s not a joke that it will make the people along the way feel miserable and cause big disasters.”

Cai Jing nodded, and said: "This matter must be discussed in a long-term manner, and must not be reported to His Majesty, otherwise there will be no room for maneuver."

Everyone present knew Zhao Ji's temper. It's no wonder he would let go of the stone he likes.Yang Lin didn't care, as if he didn't understand, he just smiled and said: "Isn't it just a canal? You should know that there is no canal in the south, and you can dig one out. We, the courtiers, must never forget Your Majesty. Your Majesty is our King, and to be loyal to the King, we must devote ourselves to it.”

The three people present had the same thought in their hearts: Are you sick?

Speaking of the battle against Youyan just now, he was obviously a normal important official of the court, so why did he become a fool all of a sudden.Cai Jing knew that Yang Lin must have deep intentions, but he couldn't see the clues for a while. He didn't want the brothers of the Chong family to argue in a hurry, but watched with cold eyes, hoping that Yang Lin would take the initiative to reveal his purpose.

How did he know that Yang Lin's purpose had already been revealed, which was to straighten the canal.This is neither a means nor a process, this is the result Yang Lin wanted.Take the straight canal, and then develop Hebei and Shandong.

Ren Caijing wanted to break his head, but he never thought that Yang Lin was really for the country and the people.In his opinion, Yang Lin is the same kind of person as himself, and he will not do stupid things.

After the food and wine were served, no one was in the mood to move their chopsticks anymore, even though Zhaodefang's back kitchen skills were superb, and the food was delicious.

Master Zhong got up first, and said, "I'm not feeling well today, so I won't bother Shaozai." Master Zhong sighed, stomped away with his brother.

Cai Jing chuckled lightly and said, "Wen Yuan, you may not be able to accomplish this."

"Try it."

"Don't try, I told you you can't do it." After Cai Jing finished speaking, he also got up and left, and patted Yang Lin on the shoulder before leaving.

The banquet broke up unhappy, Yang Lin looked at a table of exquisite dishes, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has become extremely decayed, and has formed its own set of antiquated bureaucratic systems.

If you want to make a difference in this system, you have to think of ways that others dare not think of. The maids next to them watched the guests leave unhappily, and Da Lang was depressed, and they all kept silent, and dared not speak.

Yang Lin slapped the table, causing the water in the wine glass to splash everywhere, and said: "Old man Cai Jing, I just did it like this, I just want to see if I can do it."

After speaking, looking around, all the beauties were trembling with fear, Yang Lin smiled immediately, suppressed his sorrow in his heart, and said loudly: "Come, come, they don't eat, we eat. Sit down, I invite you to drink today .”

All the while the maids looked at each other, they all went to see Xu Saiyue, she was someone close to Da Lang, she had been there since she moved to this yard, and she was often favored.

Xu Saiyue raised her sleeves and covered her mouth with a chuckle, and greeted: "Sisters, Da Lang is so generous, we don't need to be polite, and serve people all day long, let's sit down and have a taste."

For a while, there was laughter and words in the hall, and the charming laughter continued.

---

Genyue Shoushan, strange things happen frequently.

First, the two white deer sent by Khitan fled in shock and jumped out of the fence in the inner courtyard;

The goldfish in the artificial canal pond had its belly turned upside down and one piece died;

In the middle of the night, people in the palace often heard strange sounds, which were miserable and endless.

Gen Yue's inner circle was panicked, and several concubines went to the emperor to express their fears, and Zhao Ji, who was so happy because of taking back Youyan, was also made to feel anxious.

Early this morning, Shunrong Xu Sanhua, Zhou Jingqiu and Wanyi Linyue came to the hall again, saying that they were so scared that they didn't sleep well.Zhao Ji didn't have enough for one or the other, and he was secretly wondering why they were all disturbed, but he didn't have it here?

In fact, he may not be ignorant of the beauty's thoughts, but Zhao Ji is a sentimental person, so of course he would not say anything with a straight face and take the opportunity to obsessively fight for favor to spoil the scenery.The ages of Zhao Ji's concubines can be found out, and many of them entered the palace when they were around ten years old. These few are also, they are still children at heart. It's rare that this dog emperor is not too young, he is really fucking caring.

Zhao Ji was chatting and laughing with them, when suddenly a palace lady ran in with her skirt, panting, "The official family is in trouble, the plaque of the Hall of Eternal Life suddenly fell down, hurting the empress! "

Visions and strange things keep happening, Zhao Ji really panicked, he is an extremely superstitious person, when the palace caught fire, he even ordered to stop the war at the border, which almost ruined the good situation in the Northwest.

Empress Zheng has a high status, so she doesn't need to use this method to attract her attention like the others in her arms.In this big internal ban, no one can threaten Empress Zheng's status. She is only thinking about making money now, and she especially likes to inquire about the sleeve building of her brother-in-law. I don't know how many times my sister scolded Yang Lin.

Hearing that Empress Zheng was smashed, Zhao Ji stood up anxiously. He got up so quickly that the petite Wanyi sister Lin Yue was even hanging around his neck.This was so ridiculous that the surrounding eunuchs did not dare to laugh out loud, and all lowered their heads to hold back their laughter.Although there are many strange things in the palace, there is nothing hurtful. Everyone spreads them, but they are more curious and gossip.

"This must be a warning from the heavens, what should I do?" Zhao Ji clapped his hands anxiously, but sister Lin Yue didn't come down, and wrapped around him like a kitten, making the neighbors grit their teeth with hatred , Cursing Hu Meizi inwardly.

A small servant next to him is Yang Jian's person, his eyes rolled and he said: "Officials, you have to ask Master Chiyang about this matter."

A word to wake up the dreamer, Zhao Ji was annoyed again and again, he should have thought of it a long time ago.

"Hurry up and invite Yang Shaozai!"

Chapter 4

In early summer, the weather is hot. In the back garden of Zhaodefang, there is an artificial lake led down from the clear spring on the top of the mountain, which is a good place to cool off.

The sound of cicadas, the fragrance of birds and flowers, the fragrance of green leaves baked by the sun brought by the breeze, on a red heart gold-rimmed silk woven cushion, Yang Lin reclined with his legs crossed, watching the maids tease his three children.

After traveling abroad for more than a year, Yang Lin fell ill as soon as he returned to Zhaodefang. The imperial doctor said that he was too angry.Yang Lin thought about it, but was he too impatient? He didn't have that kind of mature official temperament.
