Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 169 The Vortex of Political Struggle 5
The first year of Chonghe was really an eventful year. Disputes between Buddhism and Taoism, alliance with Jurchen to destroy Khitan, the crisis of the prince, etc. all started in one go.People really don't understand how to live a good life, but it's not about fixing those messy things that hurt others and benefit oneself. Isn't Zhao Guanjia, a great artist, out of his head?

The Jurchen alliance was the most exciting event. On the second day, Deng Xunwu, a member of the Privy Council, made a memorial requesting the imperial court to stop troops to protect the country, resolutely opposed the alliance with Jurchen, and said that if tigers eat wolves, why feed tigers?

Cai Jing did not seem to be influenced by Wang Xiu. He, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Li Bangyan, and even Cai You and others reached an unprecedented agreement on the issue of forming an alliance with the Jurchens to destroy the Khitan. They supported Zhao Ji's strategy and isolated Deng Xunwu from the outside of decision-making power.

Deng Xunwu was not an idiot either, he invited Tong Guan to the Privy Council Hall and began to persuade him patiently.But Tong Guan didn't take it seriously, instead he persuaded him jokingly. He once said that he would not disobey the officials for ten years, but now the officials are determined to make progress. .

yes!If you say that you are not forging ahead in regaining the hometown of your ancestors, you are just looking for scolding. You don’t need Zhao officials to care about you at all. The spittle of scholars can drown you.As long as you understand that the imperial court is unable to recover, it is just that you are ignorant, and it is a big embarrassment.

Deng Xunwu is not someone who gives up easily, he immediately attacked Miansheng, saying that Emperor Taizong had two Northern Expeditions with hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, but he did not take down the thirteen prefectures of Jibei. Who can compare to that in those days?Compared with Taizong today?Tong Guan is better than Cao Bin?
Once the North-South Alliance oath is destroyed, what reason can the world be convinced?You must know that the north and the south have not known the war for more than a hundred years, and the recovery of the thirteen prefectures in Jibei does not have much market among the people. It may not be easy to deal with the flames of war.

Zhao Ji is also a little moved, he is "forging ahead" is true, but if he really can't clean up the mess, then it will be no fun.The next day, Xuan Caijing hurriedly met with him, thinking that if the covenant Jurchen attacked Khitan was too difficult, then forget it, and the covenant of the ancestors of the past dynasties was not easy to violate.

Cai Jing understands Zhao Guan's character, he is hesitant about border affairs, he wants to take advantage of it but does not want to take risks, he just said indifferently: "Your Majesty, the minister of the day and Wang Xiu talked about the covenant, and he has quite a bit of insight. , it’s better to choose a day to declare him right.”

Zhao Ji was taken aback, what kind of insights could a newly promoted young man have? Isn't this nonsense?He smiled nonchalantly, and said casually: "Then the Qing family will choose a date, and it's been a while since Wang Xiu wrote lyrics."

In his mind, Wang Xiu has always been a Hanlin Daizhao with a bit of business acumen, maybe he is a real talent, but he has no experience in a big county and knows about military and state affairs, but he has forgotten Cai You, Wang Fu, Li Bangyan and others. There is no qualifications of the big county.

Zhao Guanjia looks at the problem from different perspectives of different people, so how can there be double standards?

On this day, it was a routine rest, Wang Xiu came to the Kaifeng branch of Wangji Department Store in the south of Guangbei Bridge, unexpectedly Qin Xianrong was there, he felt guilty for a while!

"Officer, come and see how the decoration is going?" Wen Xijun smiled, and finally he didn't have to live that kind of singing and singing, and he became the shopkeeper of a shop.Well, it should be the proprietor's concubine, helping to look after the shop, that's not bad!After all, following the man you love, you don't need to look at the faces of those stinky men to avoid the disgusting smell of alcohol. The smell of alcohol is so refreshing!
Wang Xiu looked at Qin Xianrong with a calm face, coughed twice in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "The progress is not bad, it will be almost done in five or six days, I told Shen Shizhi, first find an experienced shopkeeper, hire a few A guy opened up."

"Sister San, do you want to set up a special counter for women?" Wen Xijun asked, holding Qin Xianrong's arm.

Qin Xianrong blushed slightly, gently pinched Xia Xijun, glanced at Wang Xiu and said in a low voice: "Sister Thirteen, you can't keep your voice down, it's so embarrassing, you can still show off those things?"

Wen Xijun rolled his eyes, didn't care at all, smiled and said: "Sister, don't you just buy and sell women's clothing and jewelry, why don't you be embarrassed."

"Damn girl, you still said that you're not afraid of flashing your big tongue." Qin Xianrong's pretty face has become a ripe fruit.

Wang Xiu coughed twice in embarrassment. Women's topics are really hard to listen to. Fortunately, there is one missing 1, otherwise it would be a drama. She looked around and said, "I'll go to the back and have a look, you guys chat first." Regardless of whether they like it or not, they flicked their sleeves and went.

"Sister Thirteen, look at your open mouth, you deserve a good fight."

"Third sister, the officials have no choice but to run away because they care about you."

"You little hoof, how dare you tease me, see if I don't peel your skin and cram your tendons."

"If the third sister is willing, let the official marry you."

"You." Qin Xianrong blushed, and shamelessly reached out to pinch Wen Xijun's face.

Two stunning beauties frolicking, it is definitely a rare sight, the two servants who came in and out were stunned, the corners of their mouths snarled, swan meat!It’s better, let’s work hard, save some money to marry a wife, and live a good life.

Wang Xiu went up to the second floor and stood by the railing outside the long window. The pedestrians on the street outside the pass were in a hurry, except that it was bustling. It was the second time he stood in front of the window and looked at the street, which was quite different from the first time. It's different, at least he already has the capital to gain a foothold, he is no longer confused and frightened, but has an idle calmness.

The Beizhou Bridge in the night market, Wang Xiu is very familiar with the scenery here, because this is the location of the Qingming Riverside Picture, the flying bridge without beams and columns, the shops on two or three floors, and the boats in the river, everything is so kind , He couldn't help but close his eyes to experience, to feel the taste of the times.

"Officer, what are you thinking?"

Wang Xiu's thinking was interrupted, he knew it was Qin Xianrong but he didn't turn around, and said slowly: "I'm looking at the scenery."

Qin Xianrong walked to his side, looked at the street with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "What can there be to see?"

"Fame and fortune." Wang Xiu smiled heartily, since he is a Fengya person, let's be Fengya!
"Fame and fortune?" Qin Xianrong looked again suspiciously, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Wang Xiu in amazement, full of splendor.

"What's the matter, is there dirt on my face?" Wang Xiu was stunned by Qin Xianrong's look, and subconsciously wiped her face to hide the panic in her heart.

"Hehe, officials are really interesting." Qin Xianrong smiled, her beautiful eyes were still staring at Wang Xiu, she really admired Wang Xiu, she could see through the world, fame and fortune could be described in the world.

Wang Xiu was a little embarrassed. The few women he met were not shy ones. Youqin Moyan was clever, Zhu Lian was decisive, Wen Xijun took the initiative, Qin Xianrong might be the most gentle one, but the fiery The light in his eyes definitely made him open his mouth first, how embarrassing it was for him!
