I'm so hard

Chapter 5 Great Victory at the Yellow River Estuary

A few days later, Zhou Renzong finally passed the first seven.

Under the great scene of the whole country mourning, they were sent to the Great Zhou Emperor's Mausoleum outside Changdan City. Except for Queen Mother Zhang, all the other concubines and princesses went to guard the tomb.

However, due to the war, Zhao Yan exempted most of the red tape and etiquette, and sat guarding the palace.

At this moment, there is only a month left before the end of the year, and the weather is getting colder.

Hanging Palace.

Zhao Yan was wearing a mink fur robe, surrounded by the fire, dozing off with a book in one hand.

In such a comfortable environment, it's no wonder not to fall asleep!

Standing aside, Liu Chaotong, the dean of Jixian Academy, is passionately telling stories about ancient sages and sages.

When he saw that Zhao Yan was almost asleep, he couldn't help raising his voice instantly.

Boom!
Zhao Yan was startled, knocked on the table, woke up in an instant, then looked at Liu Chaotong, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Dean Liu, is it time for lunch?"

"If Your Majesty is hungry, I will let the people in the imperial dining room prepare it immediately!"

"I want to eat mutton hot pot!" Zhao Yan said excitedly.

Liu Chaotong waved his hand to the little eunuch at the gate, and the latter immediately passed the meal to the imperial study.

"Dean Liu, do you want to have dinner together?" Zhao Yan asked.

"No...no...no need, that's all for today's class, I'm leaving!" Liu Chaotong bowed deeply, and then retreated.

For the new emperor, Liu Chaotong both liked and had a headache.

I like it because Zhao Yan is talented and intelligent, he can draw inferences about everything he teaches, and even asks many forward-looking questions.

The headache was because I had a lot of contact with the emperor, and I found that he was very unassuming, and he still had a young heart. Yesterday, he took Pan Wenyue, the curator of the second museum, to lunch. Sit and talk.

If the crowd at Yushitai saw this, if Pan Wenyue was not impeached to death, Pan Wenyue would call for sick leave today.

As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger, Liu Chaotong didn't want the emperor to be equal to him.

A crime of disrespect is enough to bring his official career to an abrupt end.

……

On the dining table, an exquisite brass hot pot is placed in the center of the table.

Spinach, basil, snow lotus root, winter bamboo shoots and more than a dozen dishes are all fresh, and the most eye-catching thing is the four freshly cut fat mutton slices.

In this era, pork was not a popular food item, and the scholar-bureaucrats generally ate mutton and venison.

And the emperor naturally ate the best quality mutton.

And now Zhao Yan, when eating, no longer has to follow the rule of eating no more than three bites of a dish.

Just the day before yesterday, Xiao Jingye and Kong Moshan accompanied Zhao Yan to dinner.

When Zhao Yan asked the little eunuch to hold the lion's head of the fourth chopsticks for him, Xiao Jingye reached out to stop it.

As soon as Zhao Yan put down the chopsticks, he began to undress.

Xiao Jingye was taken aback, and asked, "Is Your Majesty hot?"

Zhao Yan replied: "I don't feel comfortable eating a meal, this emperor, I quit!"

Hearing this, Xiao Jingye looked depressed, and had no choice but to stop forcing Zhao Yan to abide by this rule.

At this moment, the hot pot is delicious and spicy, and there are three little eunuchs serving it.

As long as Zhao Yan stretched out his hand, the dish he was pointing at would be put into the hot soup pot by the little eunuch. This kind of small life can be described as enjoying the luxury of the world.

But Zhao Yan was not very happy. Naturally, the more people there are, the better it is to eat hot pot. Eating hot pot alone is lonely.

It's so cold at the top!

During the meal, snowflakes suddenly floated outside.

Looking at the snowflakes that were getting bigger and bigger, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel worried. If the water in the Xingshan River Park failed to release water, and the mouth of the Yellow River was frozen again, Da Zhou would be in danger.

He had to find a way out for himself.

After the meal, Zhao Yan summoned Liu Dazhong, the former housekeeper of the Yue Palace, into the palace.

In addition to the 5000 taels of silver and the few carts of treasures that filled the treasury, Zhao Yan also bought some fields in the south of the Yangtze River.

In case one day the emperor can't go on or the dynasty changes.He fled to the south of the Yangtze River incognito, and always wanted to buy some family property for himself in advance.

Liu Dazhong is about [-] years old. He looks round and fat. He looks simple and honest, but in fact he has excellent business acumen. In the past six months, Zhao Yan taught him a lot about economics, and Liu Dazhong admired him very much.

If Zhao Yan didn't come to be the emperor, within five years, he would definitely become the richest man in the Great Zhou. With his mind and identity, it would be too easy to make money in this era.

"Crassman Liu Dazhong pays homage to the emperor, long live my emperor!" Liu Dazhong knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

In the past few days, he also seems to have passed away.I have been wondering in my heart, I followed myself to the brothel last month, and I was able to say "Miss Sister, laugh a bit" in a nonchalant way, how could I suddenly become the emperor.

"Get up!" Zhao Yan said with a smile.

Liu Dazhong stood up, his legs were trembling all the time, and he didn't dare to look directly at Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan took a sip of tea and said, "Dazhong, you should be very clear about how much family business I still have in the Yue Palace. Now I order you to go to the south of the Yangtze River to do business. As long as you don't violate the laws of the country, the court can open up all relationships for you. How about the money you earn, you two and eight?"

Pfft!
Liu Dazhong suddenly knelt down on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, you...you have broken the grassroots, and it is the blessing of the grassroots to earn money for you. How dare I give it back? It's all your majesty's, it's all your majesty's." of!"

Liu Dazhong knew very well that with the skills Zhao Yan entrusted to him, within a few years, this [-]% of the money would be enough for him to walk sideways in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Zhao Yan pretended to be angry and said, "Could it be that you still dare to resist the order?"

"Don't dare, grass people definitely don't dare!" Liu Dazhong knocked his head on the ground, cold sweat dripping down his back.

Zhao Yan laughed out loud, then helped him up, and said: "Dazhong, it's okay if you make money in Jiangnan, but if you lose money, I will really kill you, do it boldly, I won't Treat you badly!"

"Yes!" Liu Dazhong clasped his hands, his heart was full of enthusiasm.

His biggest dream in life is to make money and make more and more money.But he doesn't love money, he only enjoys this wonderful process.

After Liu Dazhong left, the snow outside the hall gradually stopped.

As soon as Zhao Yan walked to the gate of the Chuigong Hall, he saw three figures running towards him.

The one headed by Wenxiang Xiao Jingye.

Xiao Jingye held the robe in both hands, and walked quickly. The moment he saw Zhao Yan from a distance, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, Huang..."

Snapped!
Xiao Jingye fell into the snow nest.

Two young officials next to him quickly helped him up.

After Xiao Jingye stood up, he didn't care to pat off the snow stains on his body, and continued to run towards Zhao Yan panting.

Its smile is bright, smiling like a child.

Zhao Yan couldn't help being happy, and said to himself excitedly: "It must be that Xingshanshuipo has succeeded in releasing water!"

"Your Majesty, a great victory at the mouth of the Yellow River, a great victory at the mouth of the Yellow River! After the commander-in-chief released the water in the Xingshan River Park, the Northern Mongolian army withdrew directly. Fortunately, soldiers from the occupied Yunzhou and Qingzhou formed a team of 3000 people, attacked and burned According to reports from the front, the Northern Mongolian Army has abandoned the four states of Qingzhou, Gunzhou, Yunzhou, and Jinzhou, and plans to stay only in Qingzhou and Shenzhou."

Although the Northern Mongolian Army was powerful, it had no choice but to have a vast territory in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Their 3 people couldn't defend the six states in the north of the Yellow River at all. For fear of being eaten away, they could only retreat to the two northernmost states.

Xiao Jingye breathed a sigh of relief, and continued excitedly: "Our army has gone to the border to deploy defenses. This winter, it is impossible for the Northern Mongolian Army to trigger another war!"

Looking at Xiao Jingye's happy expression, Zhao Yan suddenly felt that this little old man was very cute.

He suddenly realized that as a time traveler and an emperor, he really had the responsibility to let more people get the happiness they wanted.

"Xiao Xiang, you can just send someone to report, and you have to come here in person in the snow, what if you break it?" Zhao Yan patted the snow water on Xiao Jingye's shoulder, and said with a smile.

Xiao Jingye was flattered, and quickly cupped his hands and said: "The victory at the mouth of the Yellow River is all due to His Majesty's plan. The old minister is running errands, no matter, no matter!"

In less than three days, the great victory at the mouth of the Yellow River spread throughout the Great Zhou Kingdom.

However, the protagonist of this eulogy is not Yang Xinghuai, the military commander who released the water from the mountains and rivers, nor Yang Hong, the son of Yang Xinghuai, the commander of the Shence Army who took back the land of the four states.

It was the new emperor Zhao Yan.

"The new emperor used all kinds of tricks, and the Northern Mongolian army was defeated and fled overnight."

This sentence is basically what is preached in the streets and alleys.

Public opinion is very important, and it is very important to establish prestige for the new emperor.

Xiao Jingye is well versed in this way, so he dispatched his pens to spread the praises continuously, just to establish the imperial power and reassure the people, so that Zhao Yan, the emperor, can sit firmly, and let the people of the world be able to believe in the new emperor.

From another perspective, this is also to re-establish the confidence of Da Zhou, so that those troublemakers who want to rebel will abandon the idea of ​​rebellion.
