One Piece of Song Dynasty

Chapter 537 Jianyan’s journey to the south (5)

"If you really want to be sincere, you have to become a disciple according to Han etiquette. Have you repaired the belt?" Seeing that she couldn't hide, Empress Dowager Wei simply sat down gracefully. Wan Yanbo waved to the maids, and the maids carrying bacon, celery and four fruits including lotus seeds, red beans, red dates and longans came over and stood in a row. Wan Yanchang pointed and explained: "Ten strips of bacon are used to make bundles; lotus seeds are hard-working, please teach me hard; red beans are good luck; dates are early and early high school; longan means complete merit and virtue; celery means diligent and studious, and excellence in work. "

"It's really six rites. There is actually celery in the north this season." Queen Mother Wei was surprised. Wanyan Odai took the tea from the maid and knelt down respectfully to offer the tea: "The celery was shipped from Hebei by my father. Please have some tea, sir."

"I don't have anything to give in return." Queen Mother Wei paused, took the tea, took a sip and put it back. After wandering around for a long time, she couldn't find anything in her body. Wan Yanchang looked at her and said, "If you can teach him the essence of Han culture, this is the greatest reward."

"Then I will teach you a sentence now: wealth cannot be fornicated, poverty cannot be moved, and power cannot bend. This is what a man is called." Empress Dowager Wei sneered at Wanyan, "This is what the great Confucian Mencius said years ago. Yes. Remember it, you might be able to use it in the future, so get up."

Wan Yanchang naturally knew that Empress Dowager Wei was cursing, so although he felt unhappy, he remained silent. Wanyan recited it loudly, thanked him, and then got up. Wan Yanchang nodded and took Wan Yan Ao out: "Sir, please rest. If you need anything, just tell them."

Queen Mother Wei stood up and watched them go out, as if in a dream. The palace maids who used to be around him came around and greeted her with a flurry of greetings.

At this time, Jin Jing's court hall, the Qianyuan Hall, had just been completed, but the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom still maintained the custom of sitting in a circle in front of a bonfire when discussing matters. But now there are more palace ladies from the Song Dynasty dancing around the bonfire, and there is also the elegant style from the Southern Dynasties. Yu Wenxu, who had already put on the official uniform of the Jin Dynasty, was reciting Huizong's new words on the north wall: "The west wind shakes the door all night long, and the lonely house in the depression has a dim light. Looking back three thousand miles from the home mountain, there are no geese flying to the south."

Wan Yanchang translated this poem in Jurchen language. Although the generals were uncivilized and rude people, they all sighed sadly after hearing this. Although Jin Taizong did not know Chinese characters, he still wanted to read the poem and appreciate it carefully: "The desolation is vivid on the page. This foolish and virtuous Gong Zhao Ji really knows how to write lyrics."

"Zhao Ji hopes that his son Zhao Gou will resume the Northern Expedition and cooperate with me, the traitor in Dajin, inside and outside." Wu Shu saw that everyone was sad and was out of tune with the atmosphere of the past. He instinctively thought it was not a good sign and couldn't help but be more vigilant. Jin Taizong asked: "Who is the traitor?"

"Most of the officials in the Song Dynasty have become senior officials in the Jin Kingdom. Who dares to say that they don't have ulterior motives?" Wu Shu glared at Yu Wenxuzhong. Wanyanchang looked at Wushu, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly went to see Jin Taizong. Jin Taizong smiled: "My nephew is overly worried. Now my money is too big, much bigger than you imagine. A few more officials from the Song Dynasty are not that much."

Jin Wushu said: "Your Majesty, please don't forget that the Song Dynasty has not subjugated the country. Zhao Gou is working hard and is ready to try. At this juncture, the emperor's uncle even treated Zhao Gou's mother as a guest."

"I asked her to teach her to read some Chinese books." Wan Yanchang replied calmly. Wu Shu refused to give up: "Reading the Han Dynasty, the Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty are enemies. What is the purpose of letting my uncle read the Han Dynasty?"

Wan Yanchang replied: "Study. It has been less than ten years since I, Dai Jin, created Jurchen writing. When it comes to literature, the gap with the Han people is incalculable. The Han people are like falcons, they have been flying in the sky for thousands of years, and we Like earthworms, still crawling in the dirty soil.”

Jin Wushu asked: "I've been dancing around Song Dynasty literature all day long, what's the use of it?"

Wan Yanchang said: "I'm afraid you won't understand if I tell you. Let's put it this way, the ink of scholars is far thicker than the blood of martyrs."

"The ink of scholars is thicker than the blood of martyrs. I am afraid that I will not only find a teacher for the crown prince, but also an aunt for me." Wu Shu suddenly changed the topic. Jin Taizong and others were chewing on Wan Yanchang's words and couldn't help laughing when they heard the words.

"Wushu, how dare you interfere in my uncle's private affairs?" Before Jin Wushu could finish speaking, Wan Yanchang raised his head and said angrily.

"Uncle's private affairs are public affairs. Don't forget, as the Grand Master and Superintendent of the Army, I hold great power." Wu Shu did not buy Yan Chang's blame. Jin Taizong advised: "My dear brother likes a girl from the south. It is human nature, but he falls in love and cannot extricate himself. He even persuades me to let Duke Hunde return to the south. This is not advisable."

Wan Yanchang stood up suddenly with dissatisfaction and strode away: "Even the emperor has no right to interfere with the personal affairs between men and women. I will take Mr. Hun De and his son to Hanzhou, my jurisdiction, for custody. I will take my leave."

"Your Majesty, look" Wu Shu looked at Jin Taizong.

"Since your old aunt was kidnapped by the Liao army, he has not married yet. It is a good thing that he likes a woman." Jin Taizong stood up, "Back to the subject, our army went south last autumn and swept across the two rivers. Now the autumn is high and the horses are fat. , Wushu, you and your uncle will assemble your army and set off immediately. The purpose of this southward march is to completely occupy the Central Plains and capture Zhao Gou back to Beijing."

Jin Wushu was overjoyed and got up and went out: "That's right. I will go to war immediately."

The news that the Jin Kingdom was going south again reached Li Xin within a few days. Li Xin read the secret message and said: "It's almost time."

Liang Hongyu held her daughter Li Xinyue, who was just over a month old, and asked, "Why, the officials are about to take action?"

Li Xin nodded and said, "Well, the heat is almost done."

Liang Hongyu said worriedly: "But Huan Huan is just three months pregnant, so it's not convenient for her to move with the officials."

Li Xin waved his hand and said: "Not so fast. I'm just making some preliminary preparations now so as not to be in a hurry when I actually take action."

Liang Hongyu nodded and said, "That's fine, as long as Mr. Huanhuan can give birth to the child."

Li Xin thought for a while and said: "It should be no problem. I guess even taking action will have to wait until next year." After all, the Miao-Liu Incident has not happened yet.

Liang Hongyu said: "That's good. Fujin and Zhu Lian's children are just born, and so is Xinyue. It's the time when officials are needed to accompany them." Zhao Fujin's son Li Qingling and Zhu Lian's son Li Yixuan are both Born in April of this year.

Li Xin pinched Xinyue's little face and said, "Yes, don't worry, I will spend more time with you during this time."

Liang Hongyu asked again: "How do you plan to reply to the letter from shopkeeper Su Yu from Fuzhou?"

Li Xin thought for a while and said: "Since the Zhe family can't be reorganized, it won't be reorganized. Let Su Yu and the others lock up the Tianxiang Tower and hide on the spot. From now on, they will be under the control of Liang Xing. But I heard that Zhe Yan was detained. He has been assigned to the Changhua Army. I plan to kidnap this person, and Jinyun Mountain in Qingjian City has also been captured. It just so happens that I can meet these people who are coming before I take action."

Then Li Xin wrote to Liu Zhi near Hangzhou, Guangxi, Yan'an, and Zhang Rong in Jeju respectively and issued several orders.

. Order Tianxiang Tower near Hangzhou to pay attention to inquire about Zhao Gou's whereabouts from now on.

. Order Guangxi Tianxianglou to find an opportunity to kidnap Zheyan.

. Order Liu Zhi of Yan'an to always pay attention to the situation in Yan'an Mansion and be ready to take Li Yongqi's family out of the city at any time.

. Order Zhang Rong to return to Xinghan immediately with everyone in the Water Ghost Team.
