Chapter 1207 Xingzhou Great Rule
Xingzhou City can be said to be the beginning of the Mongolian Kingdom governing the Central Plains.

During the Kingdom of Jin, Xingzhou had a population of [-] households. By the tenth year of Wokuotai Khan, when Mongolian cavalry entered Xingzhou City, there were only [-] households left in Xingzhou. , are all plugged with soil, and the holes go in and out."

Until the period of Mongke Khan, Kublai Khan was ordered to conquer Monan, Liu Bingzhong and Zhang Wenqian entered the Jinlianchuan shogunate, selected good officials to govern, and made Xingzhou politically clear and economically prosperous. The refugees who had fled to other places returned one after another. In just 16 years The household registration has increased to more than [-] households.

People at that time called it "Xingzhou Dazhi".

Xingzhou Dazhi has very far-reaching significance to the entire Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties. It strengthened Kublai Khan's confidence in practicing Han law, and thus promoted Han law in the Central Plains. It made more scholars return to Kublai Khan and walked into Jinlianchuan shogunate.

When Dayuan becomes a great dynasty in the future, Xingzhou Dazhi will become a good story.

But at the end of this September, there is a new story circulating among the people of Xingzhou...

"A few days ago, Xingzhou City still belonged to Dayuan, but when I opened my eyes, it belonged to Datang again."

"Isn't that good? Burning goods, you really want to wait for the army to attack the city and smash our two shops into rubble, and you will be strong?"

"Then how come, am I not surprised that the government surrendered so quickly?"

"Oh, haven't you heard about what happened at Purple Mountain Academy a few days ago?"

"Tell me about it..."

Early in the morning, the owner of the small tea shop began to tell the anecdote that he had just heard to the vendor next door selling cooking cakes.

On the other side of the long street, two young scholars helped an old man over. After hearing the conversation, they stopped for a while and chose to sit in this small tea shop and bought three cooking cakes.

The three of them, the old and the young, were all gentle and polite, and they sat at a table farther away. They were not as loud as the market vendors, and communicated with voices that only each other could hear.

"Sure enough, it has become a good story in history. Thousands of years later, when people mention this sage hero, they must mention the phrase 'study for the rise of China', Zijinshan Academy, and your second uncle. "

"Second Uncle said, His Majesty's praise for Zijinshan Academy is too high, and the expectations contained in the words are too high. He can't bear it, and he can't afford it."

"Indeed, if you think about it carefully, His Majesty came to Zijin Mountain in person, and taught you so earnestly, if you don't surrender, you will be ignorant of good and evil."

The old man in the seat said: "If Changqing still doesn't come down that day, it's not just that he doesn't know what is good or bad? I'm afraid the whole Liu family will be stigmatized forever."

"Yes, Second Uncle is worried that my father will be hurt, after all, my father is still in Yanjing."

The young man who responded was named Liu Lanzhang, the stepson of Liu Bingzhong.In fact, his biological father was Liu Bingshu. Because Liu Bingzhong was over fifty years old and had not yet had a son, he adopted Liu Lanzhang to the eldest son.

The old man thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the Lord Yuan will not question your father because of this, otherwise all Hanchen will be renounced."

"I hope so."

The three of them sat for a while, and when they saw someone coming out from the Yamen of Xingzhou Mansion ahead, they got up and walked over there.

When he arrived in front of the government office, Liu Lanzhang stepped forward to salute and said, "Student Liu Lanzhang, bring Dr. Yan, a famous doctor from Xingzhou, to meet His Majesty."

"Little old Yan Tianyi, I have come to see you by order..."

~~
"Mongo's imperial doctor?"

"Yes, Yan Tianyi was by Mengge's side for more than [-] years. After he got old, he heard about Xingzhou's great governance, so he settled down in Xingzhou. He traveled across the county to see a doctor and built a Bian Que temple. Although he has no official position , but he has a very high status in Xingzhou City, Wang E, Liu Bingshu and others all admire him very much."

"so what?"

"So when I conquer Xingzhou, I have to respect the old, love the young, and appease him."

"Mengge's imperial doctor, he must have saved Mengge many times. You don't punish him, but you want to appease him?"

"I've made my statement. Even Brother Meng's imperial doctor can tolerate it. Others will feel more at ease, and more people will come over in the future."

"What's the matter with me?"

"Find someone for Yan Tianyi to take the pulse and see a doctor, so I can reward him."

Zhao Jin asked again: "Then what does it matter to me?"

"You are in the worst health and have a serious illness. Let him see you."

"You are in poor health!"

Han Qiaoer quickly pulled Zhao Jin, and said in a low voice, "Your health is not good. Brother Li specially found a famous doctor to treat you."

"A shitty famous doctor, but I haven't seen him rescue the captive chief."

Zhao Jin complained a lot, but in the end he still spared his life and stayed behind the screen honestly, waiting for Li Xia to meet Yan Tianyi.

In fact, there was nothing interesting about it, she could barely understand the northern accent, and what she said was commonplace.

In the end, after Li Xia said something, she reluctantly stretched out her hand from behind the screen to let Yan Tianyi feel her pulse.

It can only be said that Yan Tianyi's medical skills are really good, and after asking a few more questions, he found out what her disease was, and prescribed two medicines, which were almost the same as the famous doctor before.

"Heart paralysis is difficult to cure, so one must avoid exposure to cold, stay in damp places for a long time, especially not to be overworked."

"Thanks to Yan Qing, I owe Yan Qing a favor today."

"Your Majesty is serious. This is the duty of a doctor, not to mention sharing the worries of the king..."

Zhao Jin turned his head and glanced out, seeing that the so-called famous doctor retreated, pulled Han Qiaoer, and said in a low voice: "Obviously I didn't see anything, as if he had made some great achievements. By the way, just now Li Xia said something What?"

"Brother Li is deliberately showing off the favor of the old doctor."

"I know, I was asking, and before I felt my pulse, I said something."

"I don't remember."

"You are Han Qiaoer, how could you not remember? Say it quickly."

"say what?"

"That's the one...forget it, it's nothing." Zhao Jin finally shook his head again.

She vaguely heard what Li Xia said seemed to be "My beloved concubine is in poor health", but she was not sure, so she could only secretly feel annoyed that she was taken advantage of.

"That's right." On the other side of the screen, Li Xia said, "The taller young man behind Yan Tianyi just now is his youngest son, Yan Boxiang. What do you think?"

"How about what?"

"Yan Rong said, if there is a suitable young talent who can give it to you..."

"I don't see it clearly, and it's not very good."

"You're not too young..."

"Go to hell."

Zhao Jin ran out from behind the screen holding her skirt, kicked Li Xia's stool, and walked away angrily.

Han Qiaoer ran out and said, "Brother Li, I can't do anything about her."

"You're going to bring her out yourself, it's okay, let's go play..."

This is a trivial matter, and it didn't even take a stick of incense time before and after, just deal with it, Li Xia didn't bother to take care of them anymore, and focused on his own affairs.

Apart from Yan Tianyi, there are still many people to meet today.

Just wait until the hearts of the people in Xingzhou are stabilized, Zhending Mansion is settled in the north, and Shuntian Mansion is taken, and it will not be far from Yanjing.

And so far, Kublai Khan has not been able to organize an effective defense...

"His Majesty."

"Is someone here?"

"Your Majesty, we have arrived, but the Department of Public Opinion also has an urgent letter. Will Your Majesty see the messenger first?"

"You mean the Public Opinion Department?"

"Yes."

"Seer Messenger..."

It was the old man next to Jiang Fan who came, looking dusty.

"Your Majesty, urgent report from Jiangling."

A letter was handed to Li Xia.

He took it unhurriedly and looked at it, his face becoming more serious.

"How long ago was the news?"

"It took Beizhi a whole month to rush from Jiangling to Xingzhou."

"One month... Then I guess it's too late."

Li Xia asked the messenger a few more details, looked at the map, and thought about where to squeeze out more troops.

But all the soldiers and horses that can be dispatched have already been dispatched.

~~
Yanjing.

When some officials hurried into the public room of the provincial capital of Zhongshu, Hao Jing and Liu Bingzhong were discussing something in a low voice. When they saw someone coming, they naturally changed the topic to official affairs.

"Hao Gong, Your Majesty invites you to go over."

"Do you know what's going on?"

"The envoy of the Song Dynasty has arrived, and His Majesty ordered Mr. Hao to entertain him."

Hao Jing was a little surprised, turned his head and looked at Liu Bingzhong.

Their power is obviously declining rapidly, and now even such a major event is only known temporarily.

"An envoy from the Song Kingdom?" Hao Jing asked back, but his face was a little relieved, and he said: "Then the situation in the world will be greatly changed in this way?"

Liu Bingzhong caressed the beard and pondered, reminding: "At least the Song Dynasty recognizes the legal system of Da Yuan, but not Li Xia's legal system."

Hao Jing nodded, and said with a deliberate tone, "If it's really reached that point, it's the only way to go."

Both of them sighed, Hao Jing shook his head with a wry smile and murmured, "How come the legal system of the Yuan Dynasty needs to be recognized by the State of Song?"

"The situation is compelling."

Liu Bingzhong would like to say a few more words.

The officials who came to communicate had already raised their hands and said, "Duke Hao, Your Majesty is waiting."

He didn't mean to ask Liu Bingzhong to come over.

After a while, when Hao Jing left, there was only Liu Bingzhong in the public house.

It was still rare for him not to be able to participate in the core government affairs of Dayuan, and leaning there alone at this moment seemed a little lonely.

"One-hearted loyalty, full of ice and snow."

He mumbled a few sentences casually, followed the rhythm, but filled in half of the words in an instant.

"One-hearted loyalty, full of ice and snow, the merits will be withdrawn. Wealth is like floating clouds, and he is originally a loose person."

Suddenly, there was applause at the door.

"it is good!"

But Bai Pu came in with a wine gourd, clapping his hands, and said in a drunken tone, "Mr. Liu's words are well written. I thought Mr. Liu could only write 'heaven is auspicious, eternal prosperity. Huang Ji's words of praise."

After leaving Daning Palace a few days ago, he still changed Bai Pu's words, even though he had read it once in front of Kublai Khan, but the change still did not attract too many people's attention.

Liu Bingzhong smiled, made a silencing motion with his hand, and said: "If there were no words of praise from me, your head would have fallen to the ground."

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for saving me."

Bai Pu sat down, his posture was quite free and easy, after that he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he said again: "If Mr. Liu needs to be rescued one day, the student will die."

"Taisu, what does this mean?"

Bai Pu picked up the wine gourd and took a sip, but did not answer.

Liu Bingzhong thought about it for a while, and asked with a smile: "It seems that you know where your father fled to?"

"Ah."

Bai Pu put down the wine gourd in his hand, but he didn't know what to think of, and yearning appeared in his eyes.

Liu Bingzhong shook his head and asked, "Where?"

"A man's behavior is good, don't talk about being poor."

"I'm going to suspect that Tai Su was arrested on purpose."

"I'm not, I've also seen the general trend recently."

Liu Bingzhong fell silent, got up and planned to leave.

But after walking two steps, he turned back and whispered something in Bai Pu's ear.

"If you can contact your father, tell him that Yuan and Song have formed an alliance..."
