It is deep cold in Layue, and the Yellow River has been completely frozen.

On the ice of the Yellow River, a road is paved with wooden planks and straw mats. There is an endless stream of pedestrians, cars and horses on this road.

However, when the team of the Liao Zhengdan envoy began to set foot on the road on the river, all the travelers from the south to the north were driven far away.

Every time Xiao Xi came to the Southern Dynasty, his original intention was just to knock on the money to go back and increase the 108,000 years of coins, just like when Renzong of the Southern Dynasty was trapped in the Western Xia Dynasty and had to increase the number of years of coins. But who knew that when Lu Dao Xining was eight years old, knocking left and knocking right, a burst of bamboo poles knocked over, and the most difficult thing was to cede land.

The Liao people do not lack land, only money. If you get some land back, you will also increase your face. But this is the same for Xiao Xi, whether it is land or silver silk, no matter what he gets back from the Song people, it is his credit.

The Song people were wary of Xiao Xi, and they were disdainful of the deputy envoy. The rude northern barbarians, of course, will not be taken seriously by the people who pretend to be the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire.

The faint disdain of the Song people made the accompanying deputy envoy lose his temper and become hot: "The southerners will pretend, say if they don't like it, cut it if it doesn't make sense, and laugh with it even if they don't like it, do you want to ask for money?!" ”

Dried up a fire, so that the surrounding Song people were a little farther away from him. His rough temper is in line with the Song people's identification of the Liao people, and since he went south, the eyes that monitored him have not decreased much at the beginning.

Xiao Xiquan didn't see that if this Xi person's mind was as rude as his appearance, Father Shang would never let him go south.

However, the Song people were far away, but it was convenient for him to speak, and he walked side by side with the folding, Xiao Xi said in a low voice: "Hu Likai is a mourner, count his itinerary, he should come back at this time, but why didn't I meet them on the road?" ”

“…… Of course, it was the Song people who made trouble in it. Origan snorted coldly, "Most of them went back from the other way!" ”

Xiao Xi then asked, "Then why did the Song people do this?" ”

"If only I could ask." Origan sighed.

He pretended to be so rough that he wanted to vomit, but he still couldn't make the servants sent by the Song people to serve on the left and right relax a little. These people stared at one by one, never alone, and they didn't even want to find out the slightest breath.

Every day when I arrived at the post house, there would be three or five hundred elite forbidden troops sent in the name of guards. The news can't come in, and it can't get out. It's completely black-eyed!

"Actually, when you get to Tokyo, you will know the way." Xiao Xi was very relaxed, "And this is to cover up, to cover up, to cover up, doesn't it prove that there is something that is afraid of us knowing?" ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that after going to the palace, I don't know what happened! The Song people did it. ”

"Then let's just order more." Xiao Xi grinned, sucking the teeth of the bone and marrow all the year round, "Looking at the response of the Song people, you can also know how weak they are." ”

……………………

Su Song is burying his head in the public case.

In the past few days, although there have been various things in the DPRK and China one after another, the compilation of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" has not been delayed, and it is the editors below who are really doing things, and Han Gang and his Su Song are only reviewing more work.

However, the pen in Su Song's hand did not stop, and it was only half a day's work, and the draft submitted had been changed beyond recognition.

Hangang's biological tree is still too crude, and if you want to arrange tens of millions of species in the world like this, you don't know how many hundred years of work it will take. At present, it can only target medicinal materials, and it is full of mistakes and omissions.

However, the journal Nature is about to be released, and it can be the wisdom of the world. Hangang intends to give all species the name of the discoverer, using it as an official scientific name. That is, after the name of the species, the name of the discoverer is added as a suffix.

For example, Su Song, if he finds a few very special flying in his home - for example, the face is purple - as long as his habits and special features can be determined, and it is proved that this is a common trait of a species and can be inherited, he can preliminarily name it Purple-faced Su Song, referred to as Su's. In the same way, Han Gang found a special bracken in the backyard of his home, and after proving its uniqueness and hereditary properties, it can also be called Han's bracken.

Tempted by fame, there must be many people in the world who will rush to it. Of course, in order to prevent someone from casually looking for roots and saying that it is a new species, there is also a certification link, which is to give a batch of specimens, give a series of proofs such as the place of discovery, and submit them to the authoritative certification. For the time being, it is the Editorial Bureau of the "Compendium of Materia Medica", but when the "Nature" becomes famous, it can organize a research club. Although it looks rough, and in fact it is unconventional because it is a hasty creation, it will gradually improve.

However, after this club is really formed, it will no longer be limited to just medicinal herbs or creatures. Su Song planned to set up a branch in it to make astronomical observations. As far as he knew, Han Gang also had plans in this regard.

was picking up the pen to revise the text, and suddenly a report came from outside, saying that the palace had sent a small yellow door to pass on Master Han.

Su Song looked up at the empty position opposite, this was really unfortunate, "Let him in." ”

"Master Sue." Facing Su Song, who was famous in the court, Xiao Huangmen was respectful and even trembling, "The villain is ordered by the queen to recruit Han scholars to the palace to discuss matters." ”

"Yukun, he went to Dutingyi."

"Dutingyi?" Xiao Huangmen's face drooped, he was going to run outside the imperial city to find someone. In case something goes wrong in the middle, or Han Gang is simply looking for an excuse to go out, he doesn't know where to find it.

"A message came from the government hall. It is said that the Liao envoy has crossed the Yellow River this morning and will arrive in the capital tomorrow. So Fang Cai Yukun went to Duting Station to see how well the preparations were inside. Su Song explained slightly.

The villain understood. Thank you for telling me. Xiao Huangmen was in a hurry to find someone, and after saluting Su Song, he ran away.

Su Song felt a little strange, Han Gang was in the Chongzheng Hall in the morning, and now he sent someone to spread the word, could something have happened.

……………………

Han Gang is in Dutingyi.

As the name suggests, the embassy accompaniment is to accompany the guests in the museum, and it is reasonable to come to the inn first. Familiarize yourself with the officials and rules in the museum, and save yourself from miscommunication and accidents.

When Yang Jian came to him, he was listening to the report of the officials in the Duting Station. However, the affairs of the imperial court were important, and he got up immediately after listening to Yi's decree.

When they arrived in the hall, except for Han Jin, who was avoided, the rest of the deacons were there. And what the queen wants to ask is Jingyuan Road and Huanqing Road. There has been no further news over there, which makes the queen very worried and wants to ask Han Gang's opinion.

The feeling of the queen's frightened bird is similar to that of the Son of Heaven in Xining's eighth year, but it is easier to appease than the emperor at that time.

"There is no news on Jingyuan Road and Huanqing Road, which is indeed worrying, but after all, there is a good general in charge, so there is no need to worry. On the contrary, it is the ...... of Yinxia Road"

The queen's worries were unfounded, and he couldn't cry or laugh. Han Gang felt that there were other people worth worrying about.

"Isn't it in Yinxia?" Xiang asked the queen suspiciously. He is a famous general, no worse than Guo Kui.

“…… The minister was afraid that he would be proud of his merits, and he was not wary of the Liao people. ”

As soon as Han Gang said this, Empress Xiang immediately became worried.

It is said that the high merit of the world must be overrated, and the military exploits of the past years can be planted, except for the group of famous generals who founded the country, they are basically among the three or five people, and they can compete with Di Qing and Guo Kui for the first place. Such a good general, if he is self-conscious with high merit and underestimates the Liao people, it is indeed worrying.

"Then the government hall will order him to act cautiously." Tell the queen Cai Qudao.

Han Gang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally fooled over. He was worried about the plantation, not because he was worried that he would not be able to keep Yinxia, but because he wanted to make meritorious contributions. Han Gang knows the seeds too well, and he has been dealing with them for many years, and at this time, he probably changed his mind and wanted to earn a military merit from the Liao people.

The party members who are about to move in Qingtongxia and the Khitans who harass Weizhou are seen as a crisis here, but in the eyes of the people, they are real opportunities.

He was a naturally warlike madman, and it might be an exaggeration to say that, but without the war, he probably wouldn't have survived. In a different era, he would probably shout 'Gentlemen! I love war! I love war! I love war so much! And swept every battlefield with his soldiers.

Although he was restrained by the halter, he didn't want to break free for a moment. Before the Battle of Pingxia, someone said that the seed does not die and the war does not stop, and now these words can still be pasted on the door of the plant's head.

But it's hard to say this to others, and Han Gang can only bury it in his heart.

"The nephew of the seed seems to be the governor of Yanzhou, right?" Xiang asked the queen again. She had a vague impression that she had seen a lot of local personnel arrangements in the past few days.

Zhang Dian nodded: "Chong Jianzhong is now the right to send Yanzhou Zhizhou, and Yinxia West Road is inspected. Yanzhou stationed a general of 3,000 soldiers and horses, and recently strengthened the city defense, not to prevent the invasion of the Liao. ”

"What about this build-in-progress capacity?" Asked the Queen. She was worried that Chong Jianzhong relied on Chong Ge to get this position.

"A good general, and he is also a disciple of Zhang Wencheng."

Empress Xiang also remembered, a few days ago, it seems that she said it. She looked at Han Gang.

Han Gang nodded: "The sons of the seed family, the seed is the leader, the seed is also a good general, and the rest of the brothers are also well versed in the art of war, and the next generation of the seed Pu and the seed Jianzhong are all called generals, and they have also made many meritorious contributions in the past." Han Gang said, "But in the generation of planting Pu, there is only one planting, and one more is in the middle of planting, and the rest of the sons are all busy." Compared with the generation of the planters, it is still a lot worse. ”

Everyone in the palace can hear that Han Gang is talking for the planters, if the third generation of the planters is still talented, it will be worrying.

However, the family is Han Gang's basic plate in the Western Army, and all the rulers in the palace know this, and no one wants to make a feud with Han Gang for no reason. What's more, they really don't know much about the breeder.

"After all, he is a military general, and his knowledge may be unknown." Zhang Dian helped divert the topic away from the breeder, "Lu Shumi served in Shaanxi for several years before, and after he goes to Beijing, His Royal Highness can consult him. ”

He nodded to the Queen.

From the itinerary, Han Jiang from Qingzhou should have left at this time, Lu Huiqing has probably received the edict, and Zeng Bu, who is a little farther away, will have a few days.

When they all enter Beijing, I'm afraid it won't be until next year.
