Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 693 Li Gang's Arrival

Since the upper court is to train high-end young ladies, the middle court has a good selection. There are well-educated girls from good families who can support husbands and children, which fully meet the needs of low-level bureaucrats in choosing a spouse.The lower house is relatively ordinary. In the later period, the literature homework is reduced, and female celebrities and other means of making a living are increased. Compared with women in society, it is not bad, but it cannot be compared with the upper and middle houses.

However, Wang Qingzhu paid more attention to the lower court, and paid a relatively high price to train those little ladies who learn weaving.

For this reason, Li Qingzhao's reputation spread far and wide. Gradually, his disciples spread all over the world, and the reputation of Yi'an Layman even surpassed that of the Empress Dowager. What Wang Qingzhu got was benefits.

"The goodness is like water, I understand." Zhu Lian rolled her eyes at Wang Xiu, finally convinced herself, and said weakly, "I'll send Fourteenth Niang in too, the girl should take care of her."

"It should be taken care of." Wang Xiu felt that something was wrong. Zhao Roujia and Zhao Chen got too close, and there seemed to be something wrong.

When they were indulging in the rare beauty, they heard Qingjun shouting outside: "The lord is here, and the empress is discussing state affairs with Wang Xianggong."

Wang Xiu was startled, then stood up immediately, and took two random steps to calm herself down, while Zhu Lian sat upright.

"Ma'am." Zhao Roujia, who was wearing a light yellow dress with phoenix and lotus flowers, barged in just right, and she was still in a hurry, but Dan Feng glanced at Wang Xiu.

There were only Zhu Lian and Wang Xiu in the pavilion, and she couldn't help but feel a little bit of a taste, but for some reason, she always felt that Wang Xiu was very close, but she subconsciously avoided this feeling, which felt very awkward.

Seeing Zhao Roujia's eyes full of doubts, Zhu Lian pretended to be calm and said: "Why did you barge in so recklessly? I didn't know that I was discussing state affairs with Mr. Xiang."

Zhao Roujia made an embarrassing grimace, of course it was made after Wang Xiucai, came to Zhu Lian's side, and said softly: "I was looking for your empress just now, but she said that your empress is in the Hall of Preservation, I didn't expect that Wang Xianggong was there, what a coincidence point."

What a tricky thing to say!The corner of Wang Xiu's mouth twitched, knowing that the little girl was a little skeptical, she was really careless.

Zhu Lian's heart was also very empty. For the first time in many years, she was disturbed by someone when she was alone with Wang Xiu. That is to say, Zhao Roujia has this ability. When you go to the front court, what kind of system is it?"

Zhao Roujia is not a child, she has the delicate thoughts of a young lady, she clearly caught a trace of strangeness in Zhu Lian's eyes, but said softly: "I know I was wrong."

Facing Zhao Roujia's cunning, Zhu Lian really had no choice. How could any mother in the world not love her children?
Even Wang Xiu couldn't help but feel soft-hearted when he looked at that lovely and pitiful face, but his intuition told him that it was a fake, and the two daughters are not easy-going lamps!
"Retire if you have nothing to do. I have a state affairs discussion with my husband."

"Your Majesty." Zhao Roujia looked aggrieved.

Seeing that Zhao Roujia was unwilling to leave, Wang Xiu couldn't help shaking her head, and said in a deep voice, "I will take my leave first."

With Zhao Roujia present, Zhu Lian didn't do anything, he didn't dare to show any kindness to Wang Xiu, and said indifferently: "Bei Shi, Mr. Xianggong needs to pay more attention."

"Your servant obeys Yi's order." Wang Xiu reluctantly complied.It's really disappointing and can't say.

Zhu Lian watched Wang Xiu withdraw with longing eyes, his eyes flashed a little disappointed, and he stared at Zhao Roujia for no reason.

Zhao Roujia blinked her eyes, looking pitiful, but her heart twitched a few times, her mother and Wang Xianggong were too weird.

As soon as Wang Xiu returned to the gate of the Zhongshu Pavilion, a subordinate official on duty reported that Li Gang was waiting in his office, which made him quite strange. Li Gang, an old man, was not easy to deal with, and usually would not come to Zhongshu. Come and wait for him.

"It's really a sin to keep Mr. Li waiting for a long time. Please forgive me." When he entered the door, he had an absolutely sincere smile on his face.

Li Gang put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and cupped his hands, and said indifferently: "Don't dare."

"Master Li, please sit down."

The two sat down, and after the subordinate staff served tea, they withdrew from the door to close the door.

"The tea is very good, Mr. Wang is good at enjoying it!" Li Gang took a sip of tea slowly, and teased with the official porcelain teacup.

"There is no good tea in the public hall, and it was brought by the elder sister of the family. Can Master Li give me some advice?" Straight to the point and straightforward.

Seeing Wang Xiu's straightforwardness, Li Gang raised his brows and said: "The Palace of Ruisi is discussing, Mr. Wang seems to be unfinished. If the old man has something in his throat, he will not spit it out. I hope Mr. Wang will teach me."

"Master Li has an overview of the situation in the world, and he will definitely give some pointers to what I say." As long as it doesn't involve issues of principle, Wang Xiu is still quite polite to Li Gang.

It took Li Gang a full quarter of an hour from picking up the cup to putting it down. At the moment he put down the cup, he said in a deep voice, "I still hope to teach you."

"Wang Lun's missions several times, coupled with the intelligence of the dispatcher's envoys, Nianhan died, and Gao Qing's descendants were put to death. A strike from the north and the south has become inevitable." Wang Xiu knew that what Li Gang wanted to hear most was Jurchen, and he directly analyzed the reasons. No ink marks at all.

"Wouldn't it be a great time for the imperial court to use troops?" Li Gang's expression moved, he had already made a decision in his heart, but Wang Xiu's attitude could not be ignored, and it was even decisive.

Wang Xiu shook her head, got up and brought a map, spread it on the desk, and Li Gang also left her seat and walked to the desk.

"My lord, please take a look. This map is the map of the mountains, rivers, counties and counties of all countries in the world today. The Great Song Dynasty occupies the center of the world, and the four sides can fight. The country is nothing more than Jurchen in the north, Dangxiang in the northwest, Qingtang in the west, Dali in the southwest, Jiaozhi in the south, and Jiaozhi in the east. Facing Fusang, Northeast Koryo, and South China Sea countries such as Zhancheng, Yuguo, Mabal, Xumenna, Sengjili, Nanwuli, Malantan, Nawang, Dingheer, Lailai, Jilanyi , Su Mudu assassinated..."

Li Gang looked at this map in surprise, the Song court actually had such a detailed map, why didn't he know about it?It seems that Wang Xiu has such a great interest in these small barbarian countries?

He really couldn't figure it out, this map was the only one, and it was a map drawn by Wang Xiu himself based on his past life memories and his present knowledge.The one he took out was a topographical map of counties and counties around the local area, and a map of the world's objects, which he kept hidden in the cabinet all the time. If he took it out, it would definitely cause a sensation.

"Anyone who thinks long-term and plans for a hundred years must look at the world and not limit China." Wang Xiu looked at the position of the South China Sea on the map with great interest, and said meaningfully: "The South China Sea is rich in products, gold and iron, and there are many countries. It's my opportunity to break through each one, and Fusang is full of silver mines. If I can get it, it can greatly relieve the financial pressure of the imperial court and accumulate expenses for the future Northern Expedition. Now everything is ready, only the east wind, only the local water and soil climate, The imperial court must be prepared to suffer ten losses and six to seven."
