Zheng Lang said calmly: "Your Majesty has ever thought that Yuan Hao is so brutal, but Your Majesty's 200,000 lions are marching westward, and Yuan Hao can gather all the strong men of all tribes to fight to the death with Your Majesty." However, His Majesty is benevolent, but is the female straight person, are all sincere obedience to His Majesty? ”

The only thing that the Khitan can really control is the mature real people.

For the Khitan, the national strength can only extend to the five national departments at the junction of Heilongjiang and Songhua River, and the five national departments are still to the east, Jiangbei has the Wanchu Ministry, the Yajak Ministry, Sakhalin Island has the Azhu Ministry, the Jiangnan has the Limei Ministry, the Limei South to the later Vladivostok has the Jurchen Ministry, and the Vladivostok South to Goryeo (not next to the Hezi, but next to the three points of water) Zhuzhu, one is far away, the other is the sparse population, and the Khitan whip is beyond reach, and there are also the Murowei Ministries in the north and south of the Outer Xing'an Mountains, and the Khitan cannot control it. In fact, in addition to these distant and thin areas, including the Five Kingdoms and the Jurchens in the Changbai Mountains, the Khitan people also had weak control, and they rebelled and revolted.

For the Khitans, they looked at the Jurchens like the Song Dynasty looked at those barbarians, and they looked down on them in their hearts, thinking that their people were rude, barbaric, ignorant, backward and poor, and almost the spokesmen of all bad terms, but on the other hand, because of their barbarism, even the Khitans felt a little afraid.

Liao Xingzong shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Why?"

Liao Xingzong asked rhetorically, "Why?" ”

"In the past, Songtsen Gampo preached the prestige of Tibet, convinced the tribes, and built a huge Potala Palace."

"Stop, Zheng Qing, I have also heard of the Potala Palace, it seems that it was built by Songtsen Gampo to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty."

Zheng Lang smiled bitterly, this misunderstanding is a big sea, this is the Han nation sticking gold on their faces, in fact, this kind of gold sticking is a manifestation of lack of self-confidence, how can a nation that does not dare to face its past have confidence? Said: "No, the time is not right, long before Songtsen Gampo was ready to marry Princess Tang and Nepalese princesses, Tubo was building this palace, and the two countries would marry princesses." Bringing a large number of dowries, especially in the Tang Dynasty, and marrying tens of thousands of craftsmen, Tubo suddenly entered the era of civilization from a primitive society. Since it grew stronger, Songtsen Gampo could not say it, and lied that this palace was built to marry the Tang princess, and he said the same to the Nepalese. This has led to the misinformation of history. ”

"......I see," Liao Xingzong pondered.

"Your Majesty, don't think too much, my dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty, and the royal family of the Tang Dynasty has Hu and Han blood. The Hu people are family to them, and the Han people are also family to them, and it is shameful to marry a daughter. The nature of our dynasty is completely different, if you marry a daughter, you will be ashamed, even if you have a dowry, it will not be very rich. Zheng Lang said worriedly.

This emperor is obsessed with Zhao Niannu, as if this little guy is getting bigger and bigger. There will be some trouble.

"You said the Potala Palace."

After the minister finished speaking, after the construction of this palace, ten thousand people from the Tibetan Plateau came to the court. It is united. Your Majesty, let me tell you the story of the Han Dynasty, when the Han Dynasty was first established, many heroes came from humble backgrounds, and some were fellow villagers of the Han Dynasty, who grew up together since childhood, did not know etiquette, and turned the court into a vegetable market. I had to ask the great Confucian uncle Sun Tong to come to formulate the court ceremony, so the top and bottom were orderly, and Han Gaozu sighed. I only now know the joy of the emperor. ”

When Liao Xingzong heard this, he couldn't help but yearn for it, no matter how he evaluated Liu Bang, it was really not easy, a small official, he actually dominated the world. How many people did it to create a famous Han Dynasty? Then he said, "I am also courteous." ”

Zheng Lang looked around, this messy mess, eating and laughing.

Liao Xingzong's little white face rose with shame and said, "This is the ancestral legal system. ”

"Your Majesty, do you also know the legal system of your ancestors? I don't know. ”

"Why?"

Zheng Lang's intention was not this, he mainly wanted to buy time, but he couldn't make Liao Xingzong suspicious, and he had to achieve his goal, so he had to become a lobbyist. I felt very bitter in my heart. One Empress Dowager Xiao is not enough, this little emperor has to toss again, a good fish is not enough to play, and there is another black water pool, otherwise why is it nerve-wracking? …,

There are smart people in the Khitan, but in terms of understanding the history of the Han people, I am afraid that no one has anything to do with Zheng Lang, so I have to listen to Zheng Lang's fools. Zheng Lang said slowly: "Your Majesty, the reason why the bowl is made is to make the Khitan people not forget their roots, forget that their ancestors won the world from right away, and it is difficult to start a business. ”

Not only Liao Xingzong, but even the ministers on the side nodded their heads together, which was too reasonable. But Zheng Lang turned around and said: "Why is it just a tent, it is difficult to start a business, the people must be simple, save money, so that the people can rest, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the country can be rich." However, what about Your Majesty, Xingshi mobilized everyone to come to Yuerluo, and he wants to go to Heishuiluo, is it filial piety, or is it child's play? ”

"Filial piety."

"The minister thought that he was not filial, and the first emperor of the Holy Sect was famous in our dynasty, but His Majesty ignored the hard work of the soldiers, the ice and snow that had not melted all the way, the difficult roads in the mountains, the fatigue of the carriages and horses, and the expense. If you want to see the tomb of the first emperor, you can use Heishui as the location of the summer bowl. At that time, the spring snow melted, the road was easy to walk, no soldiers were injured, no carts and horses were used, and no money was wasted. However, Your Majesty's move, the spring bowl crisscrosses the east and west, where is the summer bowl? Do you abide by the laws of your ancestors, or do you want to have fun? ”

Liao Xingzong was so neglected by him that he almost didn't know the east, west, north and south, stood up and solemnly arched his hand and said, "Zheng Qing's good words are also." ”

Guo Kui stood at the end, first stunned, then dumbfounded, and then wanted to tree thumbs up, tall, too high, even higher than Kunlun Mountain.

Zheng Lang said again: "Your Majesty, can you give the minister pen, ink, paper and inkstone, let the minister go out for a while, draw a few drawings, and dedicate it to Your Majesty." ”

"Exactly."

The guards brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Zheng Lang walked to his tent, drew a few sketches of the palace, returned to the big tent again, handed the sketches to Liao Xingzong, and said: "This is the palace pattern painted by the minister, there are many woods here, there are many stones on the mountain, only some craftsmen and iron nails are needed, and the construction cost is not large." Build this palace on the shore of the lake, Ming etiquette, row noble, according to the order of high and low, etiquette is a point, the king is clear, and the Jurchen returns to the heart. ”

This is a sketch drawn by Zheng Lang with reference to some palace styles in the past and subsequent generations, which is concise and clear, if it is really built, it will not cost much silk. After watching the noisy scene, he said: "If you want to be king, you can't do it again." ”

Liao Xingzong handed these sketches to the ministers.

After looking at it below, there were some buzzing discussions, and I didn't think that Zheng Lang was evil, because although the palace was atmospheric, the simple style was not expensive, and for the Khitan, it was not difficult to build such a palace, if there was a bad intention. That palace must be extravagant. Is it right for Guan Jian to do this?

Zheng Lang said again: "The bowl is to follow the laws of the ancestors, do not forget the roots, and visit the palace is the unification of Ming etiquette and humility." Your Majesty. Think. ”

Say no more.

Liao Xingzong discussed with the ministers for a long time, and finally held back a sentence: "If you don't repair it, it's too simple." ”

"......" Zheng Lang was stunned for a long time before he said: "Its role is to be famous, not magnificent, then it is possible that Your Majesty will take another wrong path because of this, and finally waste the country's finances and make the people miserable." The country is in danger. So it can't be extravagant. ”

That's a good way to put it.

It's really not extravagant, the palace is divided into four parts, the front and back halls, the front hall allows Liao Xingzong to meet the chiefs of the various ministries to meet, the apse banquets the chiefs of the various ministries, one left and one right two buildings similar to the miniature version of the Temple of Heaven, the left is the Wenzhi Palace, the right is the Wugong Palace. Two floors, nothing else, just painted on the surrounding walls with the story of the Khitan emperors' martial arts. Let the chiefs of the ministries observe. And this just scratched the hearts of the Khitan monarchs.

As for where to sleep? Or obediently go back to the tent, taking into account the tradition of living in the bowl for four hours, but this is the best.

Therefore, the cost is not very high, even the assets of Zheng Lang's family can be easily built, so the ministers discussed for a while, and then thought about the wonders, especially the two Wenzhi Martial Arts Palaces, which made all the ministers itch in their hearts, and actually agreed. …,

The next day, Liao Xingzong ordered the construction to begin.

Guo Kui watched as the soldiers were cutting down trees. A heart settled down and said, "Zheng Xianggong, this time the Khitan Emperor is afraid that he will not go to Heishuiluo." ”

Zheng Lang smiled, it's all like this, how could Liao Xingzong go to Heishuiluo?

"Zheng Xianggong, stop it in time. Otherwise, in a few days, the Khitans will be ready, and even if they admonish again, they will not be able to stop Ru Heishuiluo and his party. ”

Zheng Lang also breathed a sigh of relief, then stared at the east and said, "Zhongtong, you secretly instructed the soldiers to occasionally have several skirmishes with the Jurchens. ”

"That's a good idea."

"But it can't be too obvious, just moderate."

"Whoa."

"If I leave, the safety of this group of soldiers will be handed over to you, and you can't do anything righteously."

"Zheng Xianggong, don't worry, I know the weight," Guo Kui said. But his eyes shine, this line of Zheng Lang chose himself, far from being as simple as protecting, but letting himself see the various situations of the Khitan, which is for the future......

It's hard for others to say, but when Zheng Langnian was strong, he could be in power for at least 30 years ago, how could he not understand? After pacing a few steps, he said, "Zheng Xianggong, if these palaces are done well, will they help the Khitans?" ”

"It's difficult, the Jurchens will not be sincere to the Khitan because of a few palaces, but they cater to the Khitan arrogance and the psychology of great joy."

Guo Kui snickered.

"Zheng Xianggong," Yelu Hongji turned around and ran over.

"I've seen King Liang."

"Zheng Xianggong, don't be polite, it's me who wants to salute." Then he looked at the busy craftsman and asked, "Zheng Xianggong, when will this palace be repaired?" ”

"Your Highness, although it is mainly simple, it is necessary to cultivate momentum, as well as paintings, it is not possible to repair it in a short time, but next year Your Highness will be able to see it."

"Will Zheng Xiangguild come next year?"

"I don't know, it's better not to come."

Yelu Hongji smiled and said, "I still hope that Zheng Xianggong will come better." ”

"Your Highness, you are very fast, this year is far more sensible than last year."

"I also want to thank Zheng Xianggong for his advice, if I didn't have Zheng Xianggong to teach me so many principles of being a man, how could I understand this."

"Alas, I have stumbled, although the two countries are friendly countries, brotherly states, I have done many things to lose the courtiers of the Song Dynasty......"

But Yelu Hongji was very happy.

Guo Kui is also happy in his heart, Liao Xingzong has not been very relieved about Zheng Lang's education of his son, every time he asks, today's conversation will inevitably reach the ears of the Liao Emperor, and his vigilance will drop. Listening to Zheng Lang and Yelu Hongji's nonsense, Guo Kui looked at the east. The snow in the east is vast, but it seems to smell the breath of spring in the clear air. Maybe the peach blossoms in the capital will soon bloom. After being away from home for so long, Guo Kui is also a little homesick.

……

It's getting warmer day by day.

The Khitan camp has been withdrawn from Yuerluo to Changchunzhou, and they have started hunting without hooking fish. Even if you don't hunt, the fish don't dare to stay any longer, the ice is getting thinner, and something will happen if you stay there.

Several palaces began to lay the foundations.

Zheng Lang came up with a bad idea to escape, but the Khitans were very solemn.

Of course, Liao Xingzong did not let go of this opportunity, and sent people to the border to threaten that Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao would come up with ideas for Yuan Hao, establish orthodoxy, and establish a name, and Zheng Lang was also doing similar things in the Khitan to establish a name for the Khitan. Propaganda through the mouth of a businessman.

Since spring, the two countries have been engaged in a secret war on the border.

The Song Dynasty arranged some small spies on the Khitan side, and the Khitan also sent some spies on the Song Dynasty's side, but they did not have much effect, and the two countries did not do a good job. The Song Dynasty was not as good as the Khitan. The best is Yuan Hao, but Yuan Hao is optimistic about Zheng Lang's affairs. Zheng Lang's help to the Khitan was more harmful than helping the Song Dynasty, but in that case, the two countries would inevitably be at odds with each other, which would be equally beneficial to the Western Xia. Zheng Lang can escape back, jealous of the Khitan, and with Zheng Lang's influence on the emperor of the Song Dynasty, he will also make enemies. …,

However, he was wrong, and he far underestimated the wisdom of Zhao Zhen and Zheng Lang.

In short, he definitely does not intend to participate in this matter, but sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight.

Then a series of actions between the two countries in the spring made him laugh. First, the Khitan swept away the Song Dynasty spies, and first the Song Dynasty swept away the Khitan spies. Some of them, who were mere smugglers, were also arrested as spies. The Khitan was silent, and the Song Dynasty was full of sentiment and unanimously demanded that the Song Dynasty emperor be tough.

This is the best good news for him. When the two tigers compete, only then can he, the tiger, breathe and have a chance.

The rumors spread by the Khitan have more or less had some impact, including the Khitan people, who think that Zheng Lang's attitude is very ambiguous. is ambiguous at first, and then it can be transformed, and you can become a real minister of the Khitan. Lian Xiao Xiao

When you heard this, you were quite happy in Zhongjing. Money is not important whether money is not money, Guan Jian Yuanhao was defeated by this son. In the battle of Hequ, Xiao Xiaoyou was ashamed and wanted to take revenge, but this son's military talent was quite useful. Thinking of this, he sent someone to call Wang Sixing and Yang Xi, who were also placed in Zhongjing. gave the two of them the military position of a small general, which can be regarded as a promotion and a fortune. In addition to the two of them, the Khitan seduced six or seven of Zheng Lang's subordinates.

But these six or seven soldiers were not exposed, but Yang and Wang couldn't let Zheng Lang see them, which would make Zheng Lang disgusted with the Khitan, so they stayed in Zhongjing and handed them over to Xiao Xiaoyou.

The two came in to see, Xiao Xiaoyou asked them to sit down, and asked: "Yang Xi, Wang Sixing, let me ask you, the northwest is in the army?" ”

"At that time, we were all in Dajing."

"I heard Zheng Lang say that the reason why he won several great victories was because of the planning of the generals, and Zheng Lang's contribution was not great, is it true?"

Wang Sixing thought for a while and said: "King Yan, this is Zheng Xianggong's modest words, although those generals are brave, if there is no Zheng Xianggong's command and planning, it is impossible to achieve a great victory." ”

Although they rebelled, because of Zheng Lang's personality, the two did not dare to be disrespectful and continued to call Xianggong.

"Humility is a virtue. This son is a good minister, and he made a good plan for my lord in the spring. ”

"Good policies are nothing to him, but I am afraid that the Great Liao Kingdom will not be able to subdue Zheng Xianggong, otherwise King Yan will be able to see him offer a lot of good strategies in the future," Wang Hei said, his face was very ashamed, not that he did not know shame.

"Soon, Your Majesty agreed with him that it will be decided in May this year, and there are still 60 days to go."

"Is there such an agreement?" Wang Sixing asked strangely, and suddenly he thought of something, and suddenly jumped up and said, "It's not good." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Zhao wins them."

"Who is Zhao Sheng?"

"General."

"What general?" Xiao Xiaoyou is still puzzled.

"Zhao Shengben is not surnamed Zhao, I don't know what his surname is, but he is Zheng Xianggong's peace prison, a female slave bought from the women's direct departments."

"I'm going to die, why didn't you say it earlier." Xiao Xiaoyou stood up and shouted. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
