The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

There are faint laughs coming out of the pool, accompanied by the sound of splashing water, if it is heard by people, there will be infinite reverie.

A little servant girl approached quietly, bowed her head behind the screen and said, "Da Lang, Liu Tiju has arrived and is waiting outside."

After a while, Yang Lin came out wearing a baggy robe with wet hair.

Following him were two identical beauties, with emerald sleeves and clouds, red lips with wine, and rouge faces.

The two sisters had a tacit understanding. They had just come out of the bath wearing tulle, stretched out their white wrists like snow, and squatted in front of Yang Lin, tightening his belt and putting on his boots and socks.

Yang Lin touched Zhen's head with scattered black hair one by one, and said with a smile, "Go to the room and wait for me."

The two sisters blushed, their beautiful eyes rolled, and they stepped back gracefully.

Liu Qingshui looked like he was fooling around, sitting in the living room and wandering back and forth. When he saw Yang Lin coming in, he said impatiently, "Why are you so slow?"

After Yang Lin sat down, he smiled and said, "I'm taking a bath, what's the rush?"

"Just now I got the decree, saying that my sister will go home to visit relatives in three days."

Yang Lin wondered: "It's a big event for a noble concubine to visit relatives. You are not at home to prepare, but to help uncle take care of it. What are you doing here?"

Knowing that her sister didn't like Yang Lin, Liu Qingshui always advised herself to stay away from him, but this time she asked to see Yang Lin by name.

Liu Qingshui is just such a friend, and he is quite close, so he is afraid that his sister's bad words will cause Da Lang to break up with him.

So Baba came here, wanting to do something to save the friendship in advance, but he didn't know how to speak.

Yang Lin looked at him curiously, and asked, "If you have anything to say, just tell us, and we brothers still have to keep it a secret?"

Liu Qingshui made up his mind, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Da Lang, my sister wants to see you."

With a puff, the tea that Yang Lin just drank sprayed all over the floor, Little Concubine Liu Gui wants to meet her privately?

The women around me were either snatched or cheated. Finally, someone has taken a fancy to me and wants to take the initiative to attack?

No wonder I, Yang Lin, are so handsome, but I don't have a girl who sticks upside down on the pole, so I'm holding back a big one.It seems that those vulgar fans in the past were too inferior and did not dare to show their ambitions. Only an unborn stunner like Concubine Liu Gui could have such confidence.

Alas, it's a pity, these girls only know their excellence, but they don't understand their fraternity.

Seeing Yang Lin suddenly froze, Liu Qingshui stretched out his hand in front of his eyes and called out, "Da Lang?"

Only then did Yang Lin come to his senses, quickly adjusted his clothes, and said nervously: "I don't know why the imperial concubine saw me?"

When the matter came to an end, Liu Qingshui, who had made up his mind, faltered and hesitated, but couldn't say it after all.

Looking at his appearance, Yang Lin suddenly had a misunderstanding in his heart. The little concubine Liu Gui looked very gentle, but she never thought that she would be so crazy when she became emotional, and she even let her own brother be the messenger. Brothers give trouble.But this matter has to be kept secret, Xiao Liu Liu thought very carefully, if he was caught, it would be the crime of beheading.

Yang Lin, who was in a hurry, said with a smile: "Okay, seeing you like this, you really have never seen the world. Let me tell you, I have never seen such a big storm, so you don't have to make a fuss. Guaranteed not to affect our brotherhood. It was a common thing in our time, I mean in our hometown."

Liu Qingshui said in astonishment: "So you already know, alas, it's hard to tell the truth, but since Da Lang said this, my brother's heart is warm, so I feel relieved. I'm just your best friend, don't worry , no matter how my sister is, you are my good brother!"

Chapter 1 Trying to Mend the Sky

Wrapped in silver, Haiyan and Heqing.

A heavy snowfall at the beginning of the year has not cleared up until now, and Bianliang is still as prosperous as ever.

At the son-in-law's mansion, Pan Yi's face was red from drinking, and several family members knelt and sat at the table below.

These people are absolutely loyal to him, and they are the soldiers handed down from the Pan family era. Many people's ancestors were the soldiers who guarded Pan Yi when he ruled the world.

Their eyes were firm, and they looked up at Pan Yi, who was their master. Although he looked handsome, he had long lost the heroic spirit of King Zheng.

At this time, he was so cowardly that he humiliated this prince and grandson into such a state just because he was the son of a merchant.

The master is so bad, these guys are ashamed, many people have long held back their energy, wanting to tear Yang Lin's body into pieces.

A glass of bitter wine fell into his throat, Pan Yi's eyes turned hard, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Pan Qing!"

A burly man stood up, cupped his fists in the middle and said, "This subordinate is here."

"I want you to take the life of Yang Lin's little boy. Remember, no swords, poisons, or evidence are allowed. I want him to die by accident!"

Pan Qing grinned, turned and left.

----

After sending Liu Qingshui away, Yang Lin thought about it carefully, secretly thinking that this matter might not be so simple.

Little Concubine Liu Gui didn't seem to be such a coquettish person, and she didn't show any affection for her, so why did she see her?

Is it related to the secrets of the palace?

She wants to use her own strength to help her get rid of her competitors?

If this is the case, it's better for him to stay out of the matter, after all, the current top priority is to seize power and save Jingkang from the catastrophe.

I don't have any relationship with Concubine Liu Gui, at best, I just covet her beauty.

As soon as Liu Qingshui left, a servant came from the palace and told Yang Lin to come to the palace for an audience.

Just as Yang Lin wanted to attack his concubine, the Lord came to summon him, which made him feel very guilty.The servant who sent the message was Yang Jian's subordinate. Yang Lin questioned carefully for a while, but the two servants only said that they didn't know why, but they knew that the official family and Cai Jing were both there.

Cai Jing is here too?Yang Lin immediately felt relieved, as long as this old thief was around, it would definitely not be a bad thing.

Yang Lin put on his official uniform and came to the Wenhua Palace. Zhao Ji was discussing state affairs with the prime minister in a rare way.

Yang Lin was very curious that the Merry Emperor was also dedicated to his work. After going forward to salute, Zhao Ji said: "Yang Aiqing came just in time, and the Khitan sent an envoy to the court. It is expected to arrive in a few days. After discussing with Cai Xiang, I decided to let you go." Reception."

Khitan envoys, this is not the time to give New Year coins, why are they here?

Seeing Yang Lin frowned, Cai Jing smiled and said, "Wen Yuan, the Khitan envoy is here to mediate our war with Xixia."

In Song Huizong's reign, the war against Xixia was generally more won than lost.

Especially after winning Hengshan, it has an absolute advantage.

The Hengshan area is to Xixia, just like the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are to the Song Dynasty. After occupying it, it can be attacked and defended.

After Cai Jing became prime minister, he began to use troops against Xixia.In May of last year, Tao Jiefu, a transshipment envoy of Shaanxi Province who knew Yanzhou, sent troops to attack Shibaozhai, seized its grain cellars, and built a castle to defend it.

Shibaozhai is an important place in Xixia, and the Xia people called it "Golden Cave". Xia Chongzong and Li Qianshun were furious, and dispatched iron cavalry to fight against the Song Dynasty, but were repelled by the Song army.

In June, Xia Jun and Song General Zheke were suitable for battle in Lingzhouchuan, and were defeated by the Song Army who had not paid for three years.

In October, Li Qianshun sent envoys to ask for peace with the Song Dynasty. After being rejected, he was forced to gather the troops of the Fourth Supervising Army Division to attack Jingyuan and other states in the Song Dynasty, surrounded Pingxia City, and attacked the town. Defeated Xia Jun for the first time.

Yang Lin was aware of these inspiring battle reports, but he never thought that Xixia was so beaten that he could not help but begged Khitan.
