114 And the tower of the city spoke
"This Lord Lu and Su Zizhan are very good friends...... Gao Cuifeng pointed at the back of the person who was climbing the stairs.
"He can be good with whoever he likes, am I like a matchmaker?" It's really a pot that can't be opened, since Su Shi came, the house from the groom to the maid has asked the question of when Su Daguan will come more than once, and Hong Tao is already a little annoyed.
“…… Lord Lu's daughter married an official's brother ......" Gao Cuifeng saw that he didn't like to hear Su Shi's name very much, so he changed his words.
"I learned from my brother...... Oh yes, it seems to be a cousin, what's his name? "If Gao Cuifeng didn't mention Hong Tao, he would have forgotten that he still had an uncle and brother.
There are not many people moving around, not from their own generation, but from the previous generation. Because his uncle was a literati and his father was a martial artist, no one looked down on anyone.
"Wang Yan, Wang Zhengfu, now the Shaofu Supervisor ......" Gao Cuifeng is really worthy of being a government official, as long as he is a famous official, he can memorize it by heart, and even knows his family background.
"Oh yes, I remember, his name is too reactionary, and his words are even more reactionary! If this unfortunate name reaches our pimple, we don't know how to die! ”
As soon as Gao Cuifeng reminded Hong Tao, he immediately remembered that there was indeed such a cousin. I was shocked when I heard his name, could it be that this is also a traverser?
"My brother is Lord Lu's son-in-law?" But Hong Tao still understands the family life of his cousin for the first time, don't look at the official position of the family, he is just a seven-grade supervisor, but his ability to find a daughter-in-law is much stronger than his own. If it continues to develop according to the historical context, Lu Dafang will be the future prime minister, and being the prime minister's son-in-law seems to have a better future than marrying a princess.
If it is an accident to encounter Lu Dafang's cold eyes in the parking lot, it is common after going to Donghua Gate. There is no entourage here, and without the living roster of Gao Cuifeng, even if he is ridiculed and ignored by Hong Tao, he doesn't know who the other party is, and he can't remember it if he wants to hold a grudge.
The princess couldn't help, she and the harem concubines, the queen, and the queen mother were all on the south side of the building.
"Jin Qing is not very comfortable?" Just when Hong Tao was out of place with everyone around him like a flock of chickens and cranes, a sound came from behind him.
"Have you finished your saved homework?" I didn't expect Shen Kuo to come, and I thought about it, Lu Dafang could come, and this feudal official was naturally qualified. Now it's okay, Hong Tao is no longer lonely, with Shen Kuo here, watching the lanterns for a few hours is not a crime, someone is chatting with him.
"It's too hard, it's too hard...... Ashamed, ashamed...... "Shen Kuo at this time is like a primary school student who hasn't completed his homework, so he is not embarrassed.
"Hey, hey, hey...... It's okay, it's okay, Brother Shen doesn't have to be arrogant. In the end, the only person who could learn this skill in the Great Song Dynasty was Brother Shen, and the foundation of those students in the academy was slightly insufficient, and the results were very slow. However, today the two of us don't talk about the number of techniques, Brother Shen's official worship is slightly appeased, and he must know a lot about the affairs in the Western Xia Kingdom, can you talk about it a little? ”
It is certainly not appropriate to stand on the city gate tower and talk about mathematics and geometry, and it is not within Hong Tao's ability to talk without pen and paper, but what can you talk about without talking about these? Hong Tao plans to talk about Shen Kuo's work. He is the commander of the side that leads the troops to fight, and even if he is confused, he must know something about the enemy.
"Why does Jin Qing want to know this?" Shen Kuo is still very professional and vigilant.
"Don't hide it from Brother Shen, I plan to give Your Majesty a sigh of relief, explain the disadvantages of mutual conflict, if it can be improved, there is no need for the sword soldier Xia to die by himself. However, if you want to have something to say, you still need to know yourself and your opponent, and I hope Brother Shen will help me. ”
Hong Tao no longer needs to make drafts in terms of talking nonsense, the topic was originally a whim, but in the blink of an eye, it was made up seamlessly, which was reasonable and could not find any confirmation.
“…… Thinking that Jin Qing is talented and intelligent, he will definitely be able to find a solution from it. I hope that this method can be used together to relieve the suffering of the border soldiers. Shen Kuo obviously didn't know much about the temperament of the colt in front of him, and he believed it.
In Shen Kuo's eyes, Xixia was like a scoundrel on the street, neither fatal nor very disgusting. Between the Song State and the Liao State, this scoundrel vividly interpreted what it means to have milk and be a mother, to be a mother, to be three days and four times, and to have no faith.
However, no matter whether the Song State or the Liao State still have a good way to take it. If you send the main force to attack it, it will retreat back, leaving room to deal with you, and the strength of the Western Xia is not low, so it is easy to be completely defeated. And the two countries did not dare to raise the strength of the country to ask for it, for fear that the praying mantis would catch the cicada and the yellow finch behind.
Ignore it, it will come over and take advantage of it, robbing you of a village today and a town tomorrow. From pots and pans to people and livestock, a penny is not too little, 10,000 yuan is not too much, and you will never get tired of it.
Da Bai Gao Guo, this is the original name of the Western Xia Kingdom, and the Chinese name is Bai Gao Da Xia Guo, referred to as Xia Guo. Because it is located in the northwest of the Song Kingdom, it is called Western Xia.
The main ethnic group of the Xia State is the party, which is a branch of the Qiang people, so why should the Qiang Di complain about the Qiang in the willows.
This ethnic group has a long history, and was part of Tibet in the past. Later, Dang Xiang Qiang and Tuyuhun united to oppose Tubo, Tuyuhun was destroyed, and Dang Xiangqiang simply attached himself to the Tang Dynasty when he saw that the signs were wrong.
After the Anshi Rebellion, Guo Ziyi was afraid that these alien races would take the opportunity to make trouble, so he suggested that Tang Dynasty Zong move Dang Xiangqiang to the north of Yinzhou and east of Xiazhou, which happened to be the hometown of the Xiongnu Helian Bobo during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
This part of the Dangxiang Qiang that moved over was called the Pingxia Tribe, which was later the tribe of the Western Xia royal family.
Tuoba Sigong, the leader of this part of the party during the Tang Dynasty, was given the surname Li for his meritorious service in destroying the Huangchao Uprising, and was named the Duke of Xia. The four prefectures of Xia, Sui, You, and Yin slowly became the private territories of the Tuoba clan. At that time, this part of the party army was called the Dingyan Army, and the war was relatively strong.
In the following 100 years, Dang Xiangqiang became a feudal force in the northwest region, no matter who was in charge of the Central Plains, he depended on whom, wanted policies and investment, but never participated in the war, and secretly cultivated and recuperated on the side. Until Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, it was still obedient with low eyebrows and was entrusted with the post of envoy of the Xiazhou Festival.
The ancients could not tolerate two tigers in one mountain, and the urine of the old Zhao family would never allow the existence of feudal forces, so Song Taizong began to prepare to cut the feudal domain.
It's a pity that it backfired, and the Li family was lucky to learn the news in advance, and then reversed. But he still did not establish a country, and it was not until Li Yuanhao inherited the throne of Xia that he was officially proclaimed emperor.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Western Xia fought several major battles with the Song State and the Liao State, and there were many victories and few losses, which stabilized the situation and gradually formed a three-legged trend. No one can swallow each other in one bite, but no one is worried about anyone, if there is something to do, you have to fight a dozen, and then continue to talk after the fight, and the cycle repeats itself.
However, the political power established by the so-called capable people on their own in the past generations is not very stable, because the foundation is the people, not the system, and the people collapse when they have no foundation.
After Li Yuanhao's death, Western Xia also fell into a power struggle, today you kill me, tomorrow I kill you, chaos. The real current ruler of Western Xia, like the end of the Qing Dynasty, is the emperor's mother, Empress Dowager Liang.
The reason why Emperor Shenzong wanted to launch a large army against the Western Xia was precisely because he saw its internal instability, and the Western Xia royal family had just rebelled. Although it was unsuccessful, it had a lot of loss of national strength in Western Xia, and I wanted to take this opportunity to calm down this big trouble in one fell swoop.
"What do you think in the middle of saving, can you do it once and for all?" Hong Tao read these things in the information given by the two prime ministers, and wrote them more carefully.
“…… It's not easy to ......" is the thinking mode of a science student like Shen Kuo, if someone else is 100% will, he will say that he will definitely win, my emperor is far-sighted, long live, long live, long live.
