Wu Haogu's third brother is named Wu Haode, and he is really a sixth-grade Deng Shilang!

The official edict issued by the Ministry of Officials has been pinched in the hands of Wu Haogu, and it clearly reads the official rank of the right Deng Shilang (the official body of Yin Bu should be added to the right word).

Zhao Ji really gave a civil official of the ninth grade...... What a mess!

"By the way, what about the second brother?" Wu Haogu handed over the official letter to his father Wu Chengzhi, and then asked, "Why didn't you see him?" ”

Wu Haowen is not at home! The younger brother is an official, and there is a big banquet in the house, but he, who is the elder brother, is not there, he doesn't know how to be polite, right?

"He went to the Fang Building last night, and he hasn't returned to the ...... yet."

"Pick Fang Lou!?" Wu Haogu was stunned.

Wu Haowen has also learned badly! I actually learned to sleep in the willows...... It seems that the decadent system of feudalism has brought Wu Haowen, a young man who is good at science, to the ground.

Wrong! Wu Haogu suddenly remembered that Wu Haowen's wife Han also brought her son out to see him just now, wasn't he afraid of his wife?

Oh, it must be to accompany the official's family to have fun. This is a major national event and can be exceptional.

"That's right," Wu Chengzhi put away his son's official letter, and handed his son a newly published "Oiran Album", "Big brother, do you recognize this Qin Niang?" ”

"Qin Niang?" Wu Haogu looked at his father stunned, "Who?" ”

"She's the Oiran of the month," Wu Cheng smiled, with a lascivious face, "for my father...... I want to take her as a concubine. ”

What the!?

Wu Chengzhi also learned badly...... Oh, he's bad in the first place! Wasn't Feng Erniang redeemed by him from the Qinglou?

Wu Chengzhi, who has become an old pervert, is still saying: "My father has entrusted Yan Niangzi (Yan Xixi) to divide it, but she may not be able to do it. ”

"Well, my son went to tell Zhang Zeduan about this, he has a way."

Dad turned into a pervert, and there was nothing Wu Haogu could do...... Anyway, his own mother is long gone, and Feng Erniang is a father and concubine, so he can only agree to the old man. I'm just a little worried, Lao Wu's health is not very good, don't hang up too much. At that time, I will have to be a filial son and keep filial piety for three years, so how many big things will I have to delay?

When Wu Haogu was thinking about how to persuade his father to take care of his body, someone outside the door shouted: "Someone is coming from the palace, someone is coming from the palace!" ”

Then I saw a small yellow door that I didn't know hurriedly walked in, "That is Wu Shuaisi?" That is the Martial Commander? ”

It's looking for Wu Haogu!

It turned out that Guo Xiaoxiao and Wu Haogu did not go to the Taoist temple after breaking up, but went directly to Qionglin Palace to report to Zhao Ji.

"This official is good at the ancient times." Wu Haogu got up and said.

Xiao Huangmen stood still in front of Wu Haogu, and said in a sharp voice: "The Son of Heaven has a will, the defense envoy of Xuanyun Prefecture, and the coastal city ship system envoy Wu Haogu, and immediately enter the palace to see His Majesty." ”

"Respectfully receive Your Majesty's oracle." Wu Haogu respectfully accepted the order, and then glanced at Zhang Sanbao, who came in with the little yellow door.

Zhang Sanbao had already prepared a reward, and at this time he stepped forward and stuffed the little yellow door.

Wu Haogu asked by the way: "This nobleman, the official family summoned a certain family at this time, I don't know what is important?" ”

Xiao Huangmen accepted the money, and he also knew that Wu Haogu was a celebrity who could stay in the palace overnight, so he said with a smile on his face: "It was a female Taoist priest who entered the palace and told the official family that Shuai Si had arrived in Beijing, so the official family was anxious to see you." ”

To say it is to say nothing. Guo Xiaoxiao was originally sent by Zhao Ji to Wu Haogu's side, how could Wu Haogu not know that she would inform Zhao Ji of the news? Actually, it's not a big deal at all.

After receiving the order, Wu Haogu said a few more words to Wu Chengzhi, and then asked Wu Chengjiu, who was following him, to bring a long scroll, and then went out and got on the horse and went to the palace. Along the way, he was guessing Zhao Ji's intentions. I guess it's to lend money to the Hexi Army to fight the war, and I want to discuss it with myself, right?

I don't know if Zhao Ji will promise himself? Without his support, the matter of sending a group of doctors to the west would have been in vain.

And the westward expansion of the doctoral group is very important!

After walking for about half an hour, Wu Haogu and his entourage arrived outside the palace gate, he took the scroll from Wu Chengjiu's hand, and then entered with the little yellow gate from the Donghua Gate of Qionglin Palace, and then was taken to the Baojin Tower by the Jinming Pond.

The Hojin Building is a seven-storey "high-rise building" with a castle-like terrace on the lower three floors, and the interior space is very small, just used for going up and down stairs. The upper four floors are pavilion-style buildings, and there is a large roof with a triple mountain combination at the top. The height of the whole building is in Kaifeng Mansion, which is definitely the first.

Wu Haogu followed the little yellow door and went directly to the highest seventh floor. When he arrived, he saw that Pan Xiao'an and Ji Yi, the two fat men, were there, but Guo Xiaoxiao was nowhere to be seen. The two fat men were given seats, and one of them was holding a bowl of tea and soup while panting and drinking, which showed that they had just arrived.

Seeing Wu Haogu walking up with a normal complexion, Zhao Ji also smiled and beckoned him to sit down, and asked Zhou Feiyan, who was waiting on the side, to also serve him tea.

"Da Lang, have you seen your third brother?" Zhao Ji asked.

"I've seen it." Wu Haogu smiled, "It's white and fat, it's very blessed." ”

"Of course there are blessings," Zhao Ji said, "Otherwise, how could I make him a nine-rank candidate?" Do you know, as early as last year, Guo Jing told me that he watched the sky at night and found that there were stars in the sky descending to earth, and he didn't know that he was the master of Beijing when he fell in Hebei, and he wanted to be a famous minister to defend the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty...... I feel that this younger brother of yours is the star that Guo Jing said. ”

You are mistaken! Wu Hao Gu Xin said: What Guo Jing said must be Yue Fei...... I have to go back to Tangyin County, Xiangzhou to find it!

What did he think in his heart, but Wu Haogu said: "Your Majesty, the minister will definitely teach and promote this younger brother in the future, so as not to let him live up to His Majesty's expectations." ”

"Good!" Zhao Ji saw the big scroll brought by Wu Haogu at this time, so he pointed and asked, "Da Lang, did you bring a painting?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's a map." Wuhao Ancient Road, "It is a "General Map of the Whole World" that the minister occasionally got when he led the troops in Shuofang, which is said to have been painted by Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty?" Zhao Ji smiled, "The monk who wrote "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty"? ”

"Exactly."

"Then show me," Zhao Ji said, "I have to see if it's true." ”

Of course, he can't tell the authenticity, because this map was made old by Wu Haogu - Du Wenyu not only has the painting skills passed down by Wu Haogu, but also has the guidance of his senior brother Mi Youren, and his ability to fake is superb, how can Zhao Ji see it?

The picture has unfolded in front of Zhao Ji's eyes, old, vicissitudes, quaint, and shocking.

This is a continental map that does not include Europe, and it shows China, Central Asia, West Asia, South Asia, and part of Southeast Asia.

Of course, the ground was from the early Tang Dynasty, so there was no Great Food Kingdom, only the Tubo Kingdom, the Persian State and the Great Qin Kingdom (Eastern Rome), and there were also the Asan Kingdoms led by the Jieri Dynasty. Of course, there is also the incomparably powerful Tang Empire.

The approximate location of the countries on the map and the shape of the Eurasian continent (excluding Europe) were drawn by Wu Haogu based on his own memory, which is quite accurate.

"Datang is really big!" Zhao Ji sighed with emotion, "Where is Da Song?" ”

"Here," Wu Haogu drew a dotted line on the map with his finger, "much smaller than the Tang Dynasty...... However, it is much more than when His Majesty took over! It will be even bigger in the future! ”

That's for sure, in the future, Zhao Ji will be the "Sea Khan with the Four Seas", and the territory will definitely not be small.

"Where's Anthy?"

"Here!" Wu Haogu pointed to Khotan on the map and said, "It's very close to Tianzhu." ”

"It's close on the map, so it's not easy to walk, right?" Zhao Ji looked at the map and asked.

"It's easy to say," Wu Haogu smiled, "It's hard to say...... Brother Yizhi, you know more about Tianzhu's situation than I know, right? ”

Zhao Ji glanced at Ji Yi.

Every few years, the merchant ships of the Ji family would go to the Tianzhu Zhulin Kingdom (that is, the Chola Kingdom) to trade. Naturally, I know a lot of things about Tianzhu.

He immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, the Tianzhu Kingdom is now roughly divided into three major parts, the southeast is the Zhulin Kingdom, the northeast is the Bala Kingdom, and the northwest is the Hyvana Kingdom. Among them, the state of Zhulin believes in the Brahmanical way, the state of Para believes in tantric Buddhism, and the state of Chalvana believes in the religion of heaven. ”

Wu Haogu added: "This Chalvandian kingdom was founded by the Turks and Persians after they invaded Tianzhu from the northwest...... The founder of the state was also given the title of Caliph of the Celestial Sect, and the lord of the country was called the emir, which means the governor. ”

"How can they do this!" Zhao Ji said in a low voice.

Ji recalled: "In fact, the Persian kingdom was also destroyed by the caliphate of the Heavenly Sect...... Since the creation of the Heavenly Fang Sect, countless countries have been destroyed! Fortunately, it has now weakened and is no longer expanding in all directions. ”

"The caliph is weakened," Wu Hao Gudao, "but there are Turks who have converted to the Heavenly Sect to continue to fight, as early as a hundred years ago, they hit the four towns of Anxi, but they didn't dare to provoke the Western thieves and the Khitan, so they didn't continue to advance eastward." ”

In fact, the armed forces on the East Asian continent were the top in the world until the early Ming Dynasty! Just look at Yelu Dashi with a little remnant of the Liao State to beat the Seljuk Turkic Empire in the Western Regions - the Seljuk Turks are also a first-class power in the West, and they have been defeated by the Eastern Romans, and they can also fight with the Crusaders from Western Europe.

And the current strength of the Hexi Army is far stronger than that of Yelu Dashi later, and it can get the support of the Great Song Capital, and the role it can play should be greater than that of Yelu Dashi! And Wu Haogu has already had a comprehensive plan.

The investment of 2 million is strategic!
