Chapter 179 The World Situation
Late at night, the palace.
No need for the middle-aged man to see the middle-aged man in brocade clothes in the apse.
At this time, the unnecessary middle-aged man had already changed into a eunuch's costume, while the middle-aged man in Jinyi was wearing a dragon robe.
The middle-aged man in the dragon robe is the current emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Ningzong Zhao Kuo, while the middle-aged man without need is the eunuch who served Zhao Kuo's confidant - Eunuch Ji.
"What happened?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"Your Majesty, this is all the information compiled by the slave family. Please have a look at it." Eunuch Ji took out a document and put his hands on the case.
After a while, Zhao Kuo read the content of the document and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that little girl to be a chivalrous woman."
"It's really cute." Eunuch Ji smiled and said, "Although the attack was a bit harsh. The second son of the servant of the official department had two front teeth knocked out."
"Hmph!" Zhao Kuo said coldly: "As the second son of the official servant's family, but he oppressed the people and robbed the people's daughters, he deserved it!"
"What the emperor said is true." Eunuch Ji lowered his head and said yes, but he knew in his heart that the second son of the official servant who molested the father and daughter of entertainers this afternoon was finished.I'm afraid that the minister of the Ministry of officials will also be implicated, and there is no hope of promotion.
"I didn't expect this young man to have excellent cooking skills." Zhao Kuo looked at the contents of the document, very curious: "The aroma is overflowing, and everyone is watching...is it really so attractive?"
"But it's tempting." Eunuch Ji nodded, recalling the aroma of those meals, and swallowed unconsciously: "I only smell the aroma, and my stomach is full of desire. It's a pity that he just ate it by himself." , not for sale. How does it taste? Only he and the little girl know."
"If there is a chance, I will try it." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.
Eunuch Ji's eyes flashed brightly, he lowered his head and said, "There must be a chance."
Putting down the document, Zhao Kuo stretched his waist wearily, and said: "That young man is so powerful, but he is hidden among the people. It shows how many talents we have buried in the Song Dynasty. Alas! Repetition of literature is detrimental to the country!"
"..." Eunuch Ji lowered his head and dared not answer.
"That's all." Zhao Kuo sighed, and said: "The boy visited more than ten blacksmith shops, and each shop ordered a kitchen knife. What's the meaning?"
"This..." Eunuch Ji shook his head with a question mark, "But I can't figure it out."
"He's a good cook, so why don't you want to make a handy kitchen knife?" After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, he shook his head, "It's a bit mysterious."
"If the emperor wants to know, he has to wait a few more days." Ji Gonggong said: "Or...is it right to announce him into the palace?"
Zhao Kuo thought for a while, then nodded: "Alright." After a pause, "It's convenient for him to come to see me in the palace tomorrow evening, and don't publicize it."
"My slave knows."
……
After breakfast the next day, Ling Chi and Huang Rong wandered around the city of Lin'an, admiring the elegance of the capital city of the Southern Song Dynasty.
In fact, when it comes to prosperity, no ancient big city can compare with modern third-tier cities. What can attract Lingchi is only the customs and cultural landscape of this era.
For example, the city appearance of Bianjing and the living conditions of people from all walks of life recorded in the Qingming River Map are very attractive.It's a pity that it was the scenery of the Northern Song Dynasty. Now Bianjing has long been occupied by the Kingdom of Jin, and the prosperous scene of Shanghetu in Qingming Dynasty no longer exists.
However, after decades of development in Lin'an Prefecture, it has become a bit of a climate. There are a lot of foreigners traveling from south to north, and you can even see many businessmen wearing Jin Kingdom costumes.
Obviously, the Southern Song Dynasty had just fought a four-year war with the Kingdom of Jin a few years ago, but unexpectedly, the people got along very well.
Thinking about it, it is true that the Southern Song Dynasty has already surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin. Although there will be fights from time to time, the master-slave relationship has always existed.
Nowadays, the national power of the Kingdom of Jin is much stronger than that of the Southern Song Dynasty. Especially when Ling Chi successfully defeated Genghis Khan, Mongolia, which was finally unified, fell into civil strife again. Quantity of population.
Now, Mongolia has returned to the previous tribal form. Among them, there are four or five larger tribes. No one obeys the other. They conquer and plunder each other, resulting in the death of many people in these years.
And the countries in the Western Regions occupied by Mongolia, also because of the death of Genghis Khan, caused the Mongolian soldiers to withdraw from the Western Regions, return to their respective tribes, and fight for the tribes.
For ten years, Mongolia was in chaos and the Kingdom of Jin grew stronger. The Southern Song Dynasty could only cultivate its internal strength diligently and barely resist the further aggression of the Kingdom of Jin.
Zhao Kuo was a relatively promising emperor. He defined Neo-Confucianism as a pseudo-science, prohibited Zhao Ruyu, Zhu Xi and others from holding official positions and participating in the imperial examinations, and made Yue Fei King of Hubei. .
During his reign, he fought a total of two large-scale wars with the Kingdom of Jin. Apart from the war that just ended two years ago, it was the heart-wrenching war before the peace talks in Jiading.
Can't beat, can't beat, just can't beat.Because if you can't fight, you can only be bullied.Zhao Kuo was originally an ambitious emperor, but he was almost depressed because of this war.
Fortunately, he survived the war a few years ago, and finally won an invincible match with Jin Guo, which maintained the dignity of the Southern Song Dynasty, and made Jin Guo dare not be more unscrupulous.
In fact, the population of the Southern Song Dynasty is not less than that of the Jin Dynasty, and the economy, culture and technology are also more developed. Great Song Kong has national power, but heroes are useless, coupled with the tragic end of the Yue family army, it has made countless descendants gnash their teeth and scold them endlessly.
Zhao Kuo is one of them.
That's why he crazily attacked the capitulators, and launched two large-scale wars with Jin Guo.Although he lost miserably the first time, he remained undefeated the second time.As long as it continues to develop, it may not be possible to lose the shame of Jiading and Jingkang.
Unfortunately, historically speaking, Zhao Kuo will die in a few years, and his ambition will not be rewarded.
……
Ling Chi and Huang Rong walked around for a long time, bought a lot of snacks, watched a lot of juggling, and felt like going to a temple fair.
As the evening approached, the two were about to go back to the inn to rest, but they were blocked by a white-faced middle-aged man on the way, and asked with a smile: "But Ling Shaoxia and Bailian Fairy face to face?"
Ling Chi looked at the middle-aged man, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Patriarch Sunflower?"
"???"
Eunuch Ji asked with a question mark in his head: "What is the Sunflower Patriarch Ling Shaoxia is talking about?"
"Uh, it's nothing." Ling Chi shook his head and said, "I've got the wrong person."
I didn't admit my mistake.
This needless middle-aged man is exactly the same as the Sunflower Patriarch he saw in the World of Divine Condors except for the wrong age, wrong hair color, and a little thinner figure.
More than twenty years have passed between then and now, counting the time, it is about the same.
But, how could this sunflower patriarch block his way?
"Hehe." Eunuch Ji laughed and said, "Ling Shaoxia showed great power yesterday and taught the local ruffians a lesson. Fairy Bailian also acted chivalrously, taught the second son of the servant of the official department, and saved the father and daughter. Hi, I want to meet the two of you. I wonder if you can come to the palace with our family to meet the saint?"
