Whispers in the Funing Palace.

Patches of transparent glass half a foot square are embedded in the fine panes.

The sun shone through the glass window unobstructed on the emperor's body reclining on a chaise longue.

Zhao Ji closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun on his body. Since the doors and windows of the dormitory began to replace the silk paper pasted with glass, Zhao Ji's favorite thing is to bask in the sun.

Just beside him, Yang Jian, a popular little yellow door in the palace now, is reading a letter for the emperor.

The Jianghuai Sixth Road Shipping Division said: The Yellow River is dry this spring, the water depth in the north of Bianshui Suzhou is less than four feet, most of the ships are stranded, and the tidal flats have reached more than 1,000, and it is difficult to ship millions of grain in the warehouse. Therefore, Shenda Zhongshu, this year's two Zhejiang, Jiangdong, Jiangxi three road summer tax, please transfer from Xianghan to Beijing. ”

This is a very urgent note.

Millions of stone grains are piled up in Suzhou, and now there is only one month left before the summer tax. The Yellow River also rises in May when the summer flood begins. When the summer tax begins to go to Beijing in May, it will inevitably be blocked in Suzhou. As a result, the summer tax collected by the Jianghuai Sixth Road, millions of money, silk, and cloth—not much grain, and very few wheat growers in the south—could not be transported to the capital in time. The deficit financial plan can't afford to wait, relying on the three roads of the river, it is inevitable to divert out of the river.

However, the emperor did not seem interested, and his closed eyelids did not open at all.

Yang Jian carefully observed Zhao Ji's reaction, and when he saw that he didn't open his eyes, he put down this piece of music. He only reads the part that is pasted in yellow, unless Zhao Ji wants to listen to the details, otherwise it will only take a few words to listen to a piece of music.

"Zhixiangzhou Manzhong said: 'Lin Xi County repaired the river water in front of the river to help the people, and the channel was only 14 miles in three years. Now Meng'er and other villages dig wells to get water, 270 feet deep and springs, and the water can flow out of the well. The channels are useless, they consume the people's power in vain, and they are begging. The saint and the two governments have granted his request. ”

This is a letter from Hebei, but it is only a political matter, and it is a trivial matter that cannot be put on the table.

All the reports presented to the Son of Heaven are carefully selected. Just like now, although the large-scale fighting on the border of Hebei has stopped because of the truce and peace, it does not mean that Hebei has been pacified, but the queen and the two governments still try their best to pick out those chapters that describe local political affairs, avoid mentioning the military, and prevent the Son of Heaven from peeking through the previous lies. Therefore, such trivial things were also sent to the Funing Palace.

Yang Jian didn't know if Zhao Jian was impatient with this, anyway, the emperor's eyelids didn't move, so he put them aside again.

"The governor of Liangzhou and the Ganliang Road passed through a little pacification and made the tour master eloquent: Wang Shunchen, who was under the jurisdiction of this road, had left Yizhou [now Hami] on February 15, and the commander of 7,000 troops marched into Gaochang [Turpan]. Among them, there were 1,300 Han troops, 5,500 Tibetan soldiers, and 20,000 horses and camels. ”

The Son of Heaven is seriously ill, the crown prince is young, and the court will inevitably become conservative militarily. Although Yang Jian's insight was not enough for him to have a clear understanding, he could feel it more or less.

Now Wang Sunchen is still expanding his territory in the Western Regions, but it is just the inertia left over from before. This was a crucial battle for China to regain control of the Western Regions, and if Wang Sunsin was defeated, there would probably be no new action against the Western Regions until the crown prince became an adult.

But the emperor's eyelids were still closed. Yang Jian was suspicious in his heart, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and although he had never been in contact with the emperor when he was healthy, he had heard a lot about the character of this son of heaven. No matter where the military is, it is impossible not to ask a single question.

Especially the current one, it is talking about catching up with the great achievements of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but the Son of Heaven still did not react.

Are you asleep?

Yang Jian looked down at the Son of Heaven, and Zhao Jian suddenly opened his eyes, startling Yang Jian.

"Official, are you tired?" He asked immediately.

Zhao Ji blinked, negative.

"Do you want to keep reading?"

Two clicks.

Yang Jian took the piece again, but only read two or three more copies before it was interrupted.

The queen and the ministers of the two prefectures ended their daily business in the Chongzheng Palace and came to visit Zhao Ji's illness.

Such visits had become routine, and after greeting the Son of Heaven and making sure that Zhao Ji's health had not deteriorated or improved, the Zai Fu bowed and retired under the leadership of Wang Anshi.

"Pingzhang, please stay."

Zhao Ji blinked, passed through Yang Jian, and left Wang Anshi behind.

Wang Anshi's footsteps stopped, and Yu Guang glanced at Han Jiang and Cai Qu, who were walking behind the most, and then bowed his waist: "The minister obeys the order." ”

is no better than before meeting the Son of Heaven with his colleagues, when Wang Anshijun was alone in front of him, he got a small garden stool, and he was much closer to Zhao Ji.

Although Zhao Ji's current condition is definitely not comparable with before the onset of the disease, compared with the paralyzed stroke patients Wang Anshi has seen in the past, it is much stronger in terms of complexion and physical condition.

Wang Anshi knew that this was not only the meticulous care that the emperor received, but also the credit of his son-in-law.

Turn over frequently, scrub frequently, and have someone help move your limbs to prevent them from atrophying. This is the doctor's order left by Han Gang. No injections are used, but they are more effective than expensive medicines.

Of course, Han Gang's medical advice to Zhao Ji has also been circulated and has become the standard for taking care of paralyzed patients in the world. Medical care has become a major issue in medicine, and even the current Taiyi Bureau has the idea of setting up a special nursing department.

Putting aside the cranky thoughts in his mind and gathering his spirits, Wang Anshi waited for Zhao Ji's speech.

The emperor could only speak in the blink of an eye, so the questions were very brief, one, two, and three. When Wang Anshi heard Yang Jian flipping through the rhyme book and reading out the words "Pingzhang is hard", he was stunned.

"Don't dare. How can you be bitter for the sake of the king? Wang Anshi waited for Zhao Ji's next step.

"River...... East ......"

Wang Anshi hesitated for a moment, and then read it very familiarly: "There is Hangang in the east of the river to guard it, and the Liao army is not allowed to enter its door, so Your Majesty does not need to worry about Hedong." The battle situation in Hebei was stable, also thanks to the 20,000 soldiers and horses sent from Hedong. Now the northwest has won a big victory, Hedong is stable, and Hebei has famous generals and strong troops, and the Liao army has no way to go south. This battle will not be repeated. ”

Most of the military information reported to Zhao Ji is false, and half is true. Until now, many times I have to tell bigger lies in order to fulfill lies.

Wang Anshi is not a person with a habit of cleanliness, and when he presided over the law change, he did not do less to deceive his superiors and subordinates. But now, blatantly lying to the seriously ill emperor, he still can't help but blush slightly. Fortunately, the face was black, and I couldn't see it.

"Order...... Husband...... For...... National ......"

"Han Gang is in Hedong, but he is just pacified, and he can't compare to the merits of Lu Huiqing and Guo Kui."

Wang Anshi carefully considered his words, for fear that he would leak something if he was not careful.

This emperor was originally an extremely smart person, and a word of negligence might allow him to figure everything out and find the truth. If it weren't for the personality problem, he would inevitably be a famous gentleman in history.

It's just a pity that the land that ceded the northeast boundary of the river was preached by Shilin as cutting 700 miles of land, even if it destroyed Jiaozhi, destroyed the Western Xia, and opened up the river, the martial arts were far superior to the ancestors, but in the minds of the people of the world, they were still pressed by the Liao. And this time, the Liao army was forced to beg for peace, but the credit will be counted on the queen's head.

Having said that, Shang Xuan not only has the power to carry the tripod, but also is extremely smart, but it is a pity that he did not use it on the right path. Argument is enough to disguise wrong, and material is enough to refuse admonition. Therefore, all the people rebelled and left, and the country was destroyed. It is difficult for a person who is too smart to be a good emperor, and even Tang Taizong almost lost his reputation in his old age - fortunately, he died early, and not lived to be in his seventies like his great-grandson Minghuang.

The current one has spent too much time on his courtiers, but he has forgotten who he should really pay attention to. Even if he doesn't get sick, in a few years, he may become unbelievable that he is the original emperor.

Wang Anshi was figuring out what Zhao Ji wanted to say.

When he came in, the little yellow door beside him was reading the yellow paste on the recital to the emperor.

In the past, the so-called yellowing was only written on white paper behind the notes and notes, and the minister's wishful thinking was not finished, and the summary was written separately on yellow paper and attached to the main text. However, since this period of time, for the sake of convenience, it has become a summary of the whole article.

The chapters of the courtiers are often full of words, and a small yellow piece of paper is pasted on the back as a brief introduction to the content, which is far greater than a few henchmen to help the sick Zhao Ji understand the government and politics.

Originally, I could only listen to a dozen books a day, but now I can listen to all the hundreds of pieces at once.

The change in this point began with the Shaanxi Xuanfu Division. Although it is not a big change, it may just be considerate of the queen and the emperor, but with Wang Anshi's understanding of his students and assistants, Lu Huiqing's thoughts will never be so simple.

Half of Xifu was outside, and before he came back, he began to intrigue, and Wang Anshi just wanted to sigh, but he didn't miss to hear Yang Jian's words,

"Cloud ...... Middle...... Empty...... Imaginary ......"

Xijing Datong Mansion? How did the emperor's mind jump there: "The Liao people still have spare strength in Xijing, and the garrison of Datong Mansion is also difficult to break." ”

"West...... Military ......"

The Western Army and the Hedong Army joined forces?!

Yes, Wang Anshi remembers very clearly, and the emperor still doesn't know that in addition to the Linfu Division, the two Divisions of Daizhou and Taiyuan have already been completed. Han Gang's current hard support is still the Jingying Forbidden Army in Gyeonggi.

As the two armies of Song and Liao confronted each other near Daizhou City for a long time, there were more and more discussions about Han Gang's conservatism. Some people think that Han Gang is a corpse vegetarian meal, and think that his plan is to send the Liao army who entered the army out of the country, and wait for the Liao thieves to leave by themselves, and more people think that if they can force the Liao army to retreat to Daizhou, even if it is a great success - the Liao army is withdrawn on its own initiative, and this view has been recognized by everyone. Therefore, the situation in Daizhou, no matter what Han Gang said in the recital, in the capital, it is believed that the reason why the Liao thieves held on to Daizhou was only to shrink their forces, not to be unable to attack. Once the situation changes, the accumulated strength can burst out at any time. Don't force the thieves to work hard, so as not to spoil the good situation, this is the consensus in the imperial court.

Taking one's own strengths and attacking the enemy's shortcomings is the right way of the art of war. Han Gang sat in Hedong with the control of the envoy, forcing Yelu Yixin to choose peace talks, and he had a large part of the credit, no matter what, the army under his command also counterattacked into the Liao realm and occupied a strategic land.

But to talk about seizing Datong, it is simply impossible.

Wang Anshi organized his words, trying to dispel Zhao Ji's thoughts, but he immediately froze.

"Re-...... Quiet...... Cloud...... Can...... Envelope...... Wang ......"

Half a day later, the Jingshi was boiling, and the good news that Hedong had broken the Liao army outside Daizhou finally came.
