On the side of Bian River, Kaifeng is the capital.

Although it is not as good as the transformation of fish and dragons that can occur hundreds of thousands of miles away in a hundred years.

But it already looks like the convergence of four hundred military states.

By the Jinming Pond, the house sparrows are chattering on the spring willows; in the small garden city, the people are standing under the flowers of the four seasons and are dancing with joy.

"How can we not say we saw it with our own eyes?"

"My sister-in-law has an old history of working as a silk clerk, and she got acquainted with the guest at the Prince of Jin's residence."

"I saw with my own eyes that the Imperial Guards came out from the northwest corner and surrounded Prince Jin's Mansion without saying a word. They were really like wolves and tigers!"

Under the flower branches is a common tea shop in Bianliang. This kind of shop not only functions as a restaurant, but also serves as a tea shop and a restaurant. During busy times, there are a few tables, chairs and benches to sell food. When free time, There are also guests sitting here, with one or two snacks and three or four pots of tea, attracting five or six onlookers to tell interesting stories, and attracting ninety onlookers to sit around and have tea and wine, which is also very happy.

The mobilization of the imperial army in Bianliang City could not be hidden from the onlookers here. The man standing in the middle at this time was still wearing a short brown jacket in the already cold world. His sleeves were rolled up to reveal a rather strong man. Arm, is shouting about what he has seen.

These words immediately caused different expressions among the people who were drinking and drinking tea. Some people were indifferent, while others looked worried.

Someone whispered: "What Niu Aluo said is true...Jingying Street has been surrounded by military households."

As a result, Niu Aluo, who had just spoken loudly, became more and more confident.

Someone immediately laughed and said:

"Aluo, since your sister-in-law knows so many people, why did she marry that sick and consumptive brother of yours? Whether it's working as a silk secretary or working as a guest in the palace, which one of us wasn't there several times ago, and which one is not a good place to go?"

Someone responded:

"It's hard to say that he's just the first person to accompany you while drinking, so more people know him."

"Head of the line? I don't have enough talent to be worthy of joining the Taoist temple and drinking with the officials before and after?"

"What I'm saying is that it's probably because of the drunkenness of the recorder in Ji'er Lane that he lost his good looks."

These words immediately made Niu Aluo furious. He put down his tea bowl and walked around, saying:

"How dare you talk nonsense about me? After eating two bowls of wine, you look like a pig or a dog. Do you think you are your husband?"

"If you break the tables and chairs here, you have to pay compensation. Go outside and let me see what foundation you thieves have!"

Seeing several people pushing and shoving them out, the tea wine doctor in the tea shop breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, they were almost afraid that these fools would get into a fight, and they didn't know how to explain it to their boss later.

After the noisy people left, the Fencha Hotel was quiet for a moment, but soon someone started talking again:

"The King of Jin has always been close to the officials, but suddenly a large number of troops gathered. Could it be..."

"Hey, I'm afraid that the Zhenguan incident in the former Tang Dynasty will happen again!"

The conversation between the two people immediately made Dr. Chaju become nervous. Some people listened attentively to the sounds outside the store, while others hurriedly counted a few large coins at the counter and stuffed them into the hands of the person who just spoke. They spoke sincerely:

"There is also a tea shop at the corner of the street. The hero took the money and went there to talk about Zhenguan."

After finishing these matters, someone among the tea doctors muttered:

"I don't know what happened in Zhenguan. I just know that my husband-in-law is going to be busy again!"

But some people retorted:

"If something really happens, the curfew will be reinstated. Now that the city is safe, I'm afraid..."

Then someone sighed again:

"What are you talking about? Just have wine and tea. If something happens, you will know tomorrow."

In fact, this person was right. There were so many people in Bianliang City that the news was already known throughout the city before dawn:

"The King of Jin is crazy!"

The eyes of several tea wine doctors who were forced to open business early in the morning had unconcealable fatigue.

Since the curfew was abolished in the third year of Qiande, the wine shops and tile shops have not closed due to wind, rain, cold or heat, and they have been open all day and night.

But today is a bit more special. As usual, Fencha Hotel only opens around noon. After all, how can anyone have tea and wine so early in the morning?

But seeing the results of the imperial army's dispatch yesterday, the shopkeepers knocked on the door one by one early in the morning and promised money, asking them to come and open the door to make a living.

Even after accepting the money, the tea and wine doctors were still startled by the crowd of people who came over in the morning. They saw this group of people asking for a pot of tea, and then each one of them started talking excitedly.

Someone said with certainty that he saw a nobleman drinking and defecating last night, accompanied by imperial guards. It could not be the King of Jin.

Some people retorted that the King of Jin actually died yesterday, and swore that the Song Dynasty was already the prime minister of the early Tang Dynasty.

There are even more imaginative people who claim that the King of Jin is not actually crazy, and that the official family in Ouchi is actually no longer the official family of the past... However, the person who said this was beaten out by the tea doctors in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu in Bianliang Palace were walking in the imperial garden. Thinking of the argument with the officials in the early court, Zhao Kuangyin felt very happy for a moment:

"Fortunately, Zeping said that Guangyi's matter has been decided."

What this means is that after Zhao Kuangyin told the story that the King of Jin was crazy in the morning, the officials in the court only asked a few cursory questions and stopped pursuing it in detail. Instead, they sang praises for Zhao Kuangyin's announcement of the expansion of Taixue.

Zhao Pu shook his head when he heard this and said:

"Official family, I rested in the palace yesterday after leaving the palace, and did not find anyone to lobby."

"Then this..."

There was no one around, so Zhao Pu said very casually:

"Do the officials think that Zhao Pu's words of admonishing the King of Jin that "Taizu was wrong" as recorded in later generations were the unique opinions of his ministers?"

Zhao Kuangyin was not unskilled in political affairs, but he had not thought about it carefully before, and at that time, his attention was all on what later generations would say, "Your brother is blind for once."

At this time, after being awakened by Zhao Pu, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly realized that it was not so much that the officials did not care about the twists and turns of the King of Jin's affairs, but rather that the officials were relieved that the matter of establishing heirs and crown princes was back on track.

After all, in addition to the announcement that the King of Jin was insane and intended to rebel, the appointment of Zhao Dezhao was also announced in the morning.

The emperor's heir has to be promoted again. No matter which direction you look at it, it is indeed more like the official family's intention to establish a prince.

Although Zhao Kuangyin's original intention at the beginning was just to let his son get in touch with academic matters in advance.

These thoughts swirled around in Zhao Kuangyin's heart, and finally turned into a breath of turbid breath and slowly spit it out.

After walking around an uncoordinated open space in the imperial garden twice, Zhao Kuangyin turned around and asked:

"Zeping thought, how about putting another stone table here?"

Zhao Pu looked around, then thought about the stone table he had seen in the temple before and realized that the vision should have been here in the first place.

I think it was because the officials had some fun in mind that they moved the stone table to another place.

As a result, the light curtain seems to be becoming more and more important now. As a result, the officials are worried about the gain and loss, for fear that they will do something to make the light curtain suddenly disappear.

Zhao Pu looked around and stamped on the ground, finally shook his head and said:

"I see that this place is empty and is a good place to take in the view."

So Zhao Kuangyin nodded, and the two of them continued to move forward without stopping.

"Yesterday I sent another order, ordering Wang Ming to find an opening to go south as a containment, and ordered Guohua to support a heavy army to find an opening to cross the river. Zhu Lingyun, whom Li Yu relies on, is incompetent and cannot be a threat. He should march boldly!"

After slowly talking about the previous arrangements for destroying the Jiangnan Tang Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin felt a little embarrassed again.

Fortunately, Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyin had a tacit understanding and immediately said:

"If the Southern Tang Dynasty is destroyed, all three generals must go to the capital to show their merits and describe their achievements in making the king. I think the King of Qiantang will have no doubts about him."

Nowadays, the Song Dynasty's deployment to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty is divided into three routes. Wang Ming pretends to attack Qian Chu, who is in charge of grain and grass. This is a two-pronged route. The middle route, led by Cao Bin and Pan Mei, is the main attack.

In Zhao Pu's view, there is really nothing to worry about in this war committee. There is a huge gap between the two sides in terms of military strength, food, and fighting spirit. The only one who can worry the officials is the "King of Qiantang."

Among the three things shown in later generations, what Zhao Kuangyin saw particularly clearly was the unprecedented wealth in the south.

It was fine if I didn't know it before. Now that I know it, how can I still let the clan of the big surname sit here and look after it? Not to mention studying in the future, and looking at the Donglin Party that appeared hundreds of years later. Although he didn't know its details, his behavior was somewhat similar to that of the famous scholar of the Later Han Dynasty, so he couldn't help but be vigilant.

Therefore, not only Qian Chu, but Zhao Kuangyin even wanted to bring over the Qian family if possible to weaken their influence as much as possible.

Therefore, after hearing Zhao Pu's suggestion, Zhao Kuangyin nodded happily and settled the matter temporarily.

The two walked forward for a while and saw Zhao Dezhao waiting in front. Zhao Pu Zhiqu excused himself first, and then the father and son walked forward together again.

However, compared to the harmonious relationship with Zhao Pu, most of the time when father and son were walking together, Zhao Kuangyin was talking, while Zhao Dezhao listened quietly.

After talking about the idea of ​​the Ministry of Works again, Zhao Kuangyin looked back at his son and sighed inexplicably.

This sigh attracted Zhao Dezhao to step forward and support his father:

"Dad, uncle's matter..."

"The King of Jin is crazy. He dares to attack me, let alone you. Just keep it in mind from now on and don't visit."

After passing Zhao Guangyi's words and staring at his son's young face, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly realized why Song Dynasty rarely summoned his son in the name of being busy with government affairs.

What a heroic face, what a young body? Looking back at myself, even if I don't want to, I can't change my age of nearly half a century.

All those who have been emperors throughout the ages are nostalgic for their youth, including him, but now there are more pressing issues before Zhao Kuangyin.

"If you are in charge of the Imperial Academy, you should also be a classmate. You must read the classics on governing the world, know the military strategies when developing frontiers, and learn the work of rejuvenating the country and benefiting the people."

"When we attack Taiyuan next year, you should lead the troops and join us in the battle formation to see how the Song Dynasty's territory will develop."

These words immediately shattered Zhao Dezhao's sulky face, and an uncontrollable smile spread from the corner of his mouth, but he still did not forget to show some clumsy humility:

"My son just wants to go into battle and kill the enemy to relieve his father's worries. He has no other thoughts."

Zhao Kuangyin turned a deaf ear, and now he can only simply speculate based on later records that this son should indeed have some ability to lead an army in battle.

But he immediately ordered:

"Prince Jin is crazy... I should get closer to your fourth uncle."

Seeing his son leaving with excitement, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly felt a little lonely standing in the imperial garden.

Now he could not wait to arrive in March as early as possible so that he could ask Emperor Taizong if he had any good strategies to eradicate chronic diseases.

Of course, Bianliang's imperial physician also considered it, but considering that most of his younger brother's heirs who ascended the throne died of illness, Zhao Kuangyin inevitably felt distrustful of Bianliang's imperial physician's methods.

And think about it again, Zhuge Wuhou and Tang Taizong obtained the highly praised method of gunpowder from that light curtain, so before he saw it, he might also have obtained the method of curing diseases from later generations?

Zhao Pu also analyzed it with him and said that since Guangmian has the name of Pei Xingjian, it shows that it was not the beginning of Zhenguan. According to historical records, Du Ruhui should have passed away.

Maybe it was Zhuge Wuhou, who knew a little about politics, a little about military affairs, and knew all kinds of medical skills, and was treated by Du Ruhui.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin's mentality was rare and a little unbalanced, and he regretted that he forgot to ask about the most important thing at that time.

After walking around the imperial garden twice more, Zhao Kuangyin finally decided to clear his mind and go back to review the memorial.

As a result, after sitting down, I saw that the one on top was Zhao Pu's watch. As soon as I opened it, there were eloquent words, saying that it was already the end of October, and we should consider the New Year. We should set a day for sacrifices and a holiday tomorrow. , make iron flowers, Kongming lanterns and other things to enjoy with the people, to strengthen the people's morale and prepare for the Northern Expedition in the coming year.

"I know how to learn and apply it." Zhao Kuangyin laughed and cursed.

However, in his mind, he could not help but think of all the joyful scenes of later generations bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new. For a moment, Zhao Kuangyin no longer even thought about reading the memorial.

So he simply abandoned the memorial and turned around to look at the territory map hanging on the side. This rather rough map highlighted two places, which Zhao Kuangyin was most concerned about at this time.

Taiyuan, Youzhou.

"I will not be willing to die if Youzhou is no longer around!"

Zhao Kuangyin muttered to himself, while also thinking that maybe he should train his body again.

Regardless of whether the disaster of death can be resolved, he is determined to conquer Youzhou personally to fulfill his lifelong wish.

Well... when the time comes, I can take my younger brother over. Wouldn't it be nice to sit on the bank of the Sorghum River instead of drinking and talking about donkey carts?

General's Mansion in Chang'an, Han Dynasty.

"One county can conquer the world alone!" Why did the Seven Flooded Armies shock China? 》 was written on a note by Lu Su and then thrown into the light curtain. The note melted quickly like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun.

As the light curtain changed, Ma Chao, who had only had a rough idea of ​​this before, opened his mouth wider and wider. His envy for General Guan was clearly written on his face, and his disdain for Shiwanhou was also extremely straightforward.

In contrast, Lu Su's complexion was getting worse and worse visible to the naked eye.

The Northern Expedition of one county made Lu Zijing heartbroken, and the Jiangdong plan made him blush.

Fortunately, Duke Xuande left first due to personal matters at the beginning of the replay, otherwise Lu Su would have felt that he would be too shameless to stay here.

But even so, Lu Su felt as if everyone in the hall was looking at him, and he was on pins and needles.

Until the end, when he saw Lu Meng crossing the river in white, watching Mi Fang "die for justice", and watching Guan Yunchang go from being a powerful figure in China to being defeated overnight, Lu Su also let out a long sigh.

He wanted to smile bitterly but couldn't. In the end, there was just an endless look of disappointment on his face:

"No wonder Jingzhou was on guard last year. Marquis Sun is not like a human king."

"Confucius said benevolence, Meng said righteousness, Xun said faith, Jiangdong has been lost, and the way to death is self-explanatory."

Seeing Lu Su like this, the others couldn't say anything else. Zhang Fei also muttered that this situation had nothing to do with Lu Zijing.

In the end, it was Pang Tong who pulled Lu Su up:

"Jiangdong is troubled by the powerful surname. Instead of being self-satisfied, it is better to devise strategies to get rid of Jiangdong's powerful people!"
