The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

Chapter 175

Wanyan Wushu had dealt with Gao Ming quite a lot, knew this man well, and didn't believe a word of his words, so he sneered and said, "You know what I'm talking about, you clearly agreed to remain neutral, but secretly Sending firearms to the Liao Kingdom, your behavior in the Song Dynasty violated the Song-Jin Treaty."

Gao Ming's expression was serious, "You can eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk indiscriminately. You can't talk casually about breaking the agreement between the two countries. The responsibility behind it will be huge."

Don't eat indiscriminately, okay? !Wu Shu lowered his voice, "When we attacked Shangjing of the Liao Kingdom, the defenders took out firearms that did not conform to the military habits of the Liao Kingdom. They must have been given by others. Later we heard about it and said that Yelu Dashi moved it. I came back. I think there will be no one else except you Da Song."

Gao Ming couldn't help laughing, "It didn't conform to the Liao country's military habits, so it was sent by the Song Dynasty? There are so many countries in the Western Regions, why did they fall on our heads?! In addition to land countries, there are also overseas visitors. I heard that the recent big food merchants Many rare treasures have been dumped from Europa, perhaps they brought them."

What big food Europa, Wanyan Wushu didn't even fully recognize the countries on the ground, let alone overseas, "Hehe, I knew you would make excuses and never admit it."

Gao Ming slowly shook his head, "It wasn't done by our Song Dynasty, so how can we admit it. Since the exchanges between our two countries, our Song Dynasty has always abided by the agreement and fully fulfilled the treaty of refusing to save Daliao.

Dissatisfied with you, Yelu Dashi supported the eldest son of the emperor of Liao and planned to proclaim himself emperor in Xijing of Liao, hoping to get the support of our Song Dynasty.

You also know the geographical location of Xijing Datong, which is quite close to us, but our Song Dynasty did not admit it, and threatened them to evacuate immediately, and they were not allowed to approach the Song-Liao border.

As a result, Yelu Aoluwo committed suicide in despair, forcing Yelu Dashi to go west.If according to what you said, our Great Song Dynasty gave Yelu big stone firearms, why not continue to support them?Instead, he refused, so that the eldest son of the emperor of Liao committed suicide? ! "

He looked at Wushu sincerely.

Wu Shu's character would never understand Ao Luwo's ​​life creed that "the king must die, and the minister must die".

When he heard that Yelu Aoluwo committed suicide, he really wondered why he committed suicide.

It turned out that he could not get the support of Song Guo, and he committed suicide knowing that there was no hope.

"Uh..." Although he didn't fully believe it, he was not as aggressive as before.

Seeing that Wu Shu was dubious, Gao Ming first persuaded him to sit down and chat, "Let's stop just standing around, let's chat while eating. Call the Eighth Prince as well."

Nowadays, eating hot pot is also popular in the Kingdom of Jin. In the Song Dynasty, Wushu decided to continue to taste this dish in its birthplace.

The three of them sat around eating hot pot, and after a few glasses of wine, Gao Ming raised his wine glass with a blushing face, "I wish the friendship between Song and Jin will last forever, and I also hope that the friendship between me and the fourth and eighth princes will last forever."

I have to say that the sweet talk was pleasant to the ear, and Wu Shu also very cooperatively knocked down the wine glass with Gao Ming, and drank it down in one gulp.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone was smiling. Although they came from different countries and spoke different mother tongues, they seemed to be as close as a family at this moment.

In such a harmonious atmosphere, Wu Shu retained his reason.

Gao Ming was lying to him, so he naturally pretended to be false, and when he saw Gao Ming blushed from drinking, he approached him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Tell me the truth, just one sentence will do, Liao Are the firearms of the country supported by you, Song Dynasty? Actually, we don’t mean to blame you, we just want to tell the truth.”

Gao Ming thought to himself, you really are waiting for me to get drunk and say something to me, "It's really not us." He asked back: "You care so much, do you regard firearms as a serious problem?"

Wu Shu was stunned, then hummed and laughed a few times, "We Dajin Kingdom iron cavalry are fearless. Since you don't have any support, that's all."

The firearms are still very powerful, which scares you, otherwise you wouldn't care so much.Gao Ming took a sip of the wine, let out a breath so hot, and looked at Wushu with flushed cheeks, "Although we didn't support the Liao Kingdom, but with our friendship, I can ask the craftsmen to study it. If there is a new type of firearm I can support you."

Wu Shu was refreshed, and with the firearms of Song State, it was easy to attack Liao State in turn, "Really? Then I can take it with me when I go back this time?"

Gao Ming shook his head, "You didn't understand what I meant. I mean, I support you, not your Jin country. Think about it, our Great Song Dynasty has always been independent and will never intervene in the Liao-Jin war. However, if the fourth prince If there is a need in other places, I, as the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty, will do my best to help."

How could Wu Shu not understand what Gao Ming meant, he picked up the wine cup, sipped the wine, and squinted at Gao Ming.

Gao Ming smiled, "The Liao Kingdom ruled the grassland for 200 years, and now it has been passed on to Yelu Yanxi. Needless to say, he is a fool, and God will definitely choose someone else to replace him. Yelu Yanxi's eldest son is dead. Yeluding’s Yeluding, although supported by his uncle Xiao Fengxian, is also because of this, Yeluding’s reputation is not good.” Then the topic changed, “It’s more convenient for a son-in-law to take away his father-in-law’s country than others. "

Wu Shu married the princess of the Liao Kingdom. Although Yelu Yanxi didn't want to admit this son-in-law, he was actually the son-in-law of the Liao Kingdom.

With this bonus, Wushu's self-identity is higher than other brothers, and his ambition is rapidly expanding.

Wu Shu was silent, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, he knew what Gao Ming meant. It was not enough to support the Liao Kingdom with firearms, but it was okay to give him firearms to seize the country and proclaim himself emperor.

He raised his eyebrows, "Prime Minister Gao is so generous?" He said so, but of course Nezhong hoped that he would be so generous.

Gao Ming stood up, stepped behind Wu Shu and Zong Qiang, and put his hands on their shoulders, "Whether I am generous or not, the two princes don't know. Besides, looking at the entire Dajin Kingdom, You two are the closest to me, aren't you?"

Zong Qiang was the first to agree, what Gao Ming said was true, he was definitely several times better with him than with other Jin people.

Wu Shu couldn't refute it either, Gao Ming had almost no contact with Zongwang Zonghan and the others.

Gao Ming bent down slightly, looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "So, this is completely personal friendship with you, the eighth prince is my good friend, and the fourth prince is what I think is a wise lord. Emperor, treat both Song and Jin countries well, and when the time comes, the two countries will definitely be better than your uncle in office. I will naturally support you both in public and in private."

Zong Qiang said happily: "Four, that's right, Gao Ming told me about this. We can't repeat the mistakes of the Song Dynasty. Wu begged to buy his uncle and become the emperor. There is no good fruit for us to eat. "

He hasn't been back to the Kingdom of Jin for a long time, and his relationship with Uncle Wu Qimai has faded long ago, and he doesn't feel opposed to Uncle Wu Qimai's succession as he did at the beginning.

After studying in the Song Dynasty, he already understood that since ancient times, the throne was passed on to his sons. It was an example that the throne was passed on to his younger brother in the Song Dynasty, but it turned out to be wrong.

Wu Shu raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at Gao Ming. With Da Song's support and his wife's Khitan status, he might be able to win over some Khitan people who surrendered. Sheng snapped his wrists.

Gao Ming continued to instigate: "Fourth prince, as far as I can see, you are the smartest among all the princes. If you don't want to be emperor, do you want the reckless second prince Zong Wang to do it?" After finishing speaking, he grinned and apologized. : "Sorry, I didn't mean to offend His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

Under Yu Xiang's instigation, Zong Wang and Zong Jun's relationship with Wu Shu became even worse.

Hearing Zongwang's name, Wushu was shocked.

He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and continued to cook the meat without making a sound, chewing heavily.

Gao Ming felt that this was enough, so he also returned to the chair, and said with a smile: "Eat, continue to eat. If the fourth prince needs help, it's not a problem if the eighth prince is here to send a message."

Zong Qiang kept nodding his head, he didn't want to go back to the Kingdom of Jin, he wanted to stay in Tokyo.

Wanyan Xiyin's invention of the Jurchen script meant that she had to leave Tokyo and go back to the Kingdom of Jin. She was a bit reluctant, but she was brought back by Wushu.

Before leaving, he packed several cartloads of books from the Song Dynasty. If they were all translated into Jurchen, it would probably be enough for him to work for a lifetime.

Therefore, Gao Ming judged that the final result was that the Jurchens abandoned the Jurchens and read Chinese directly.

In short, Wushu left Tokyo with a dream of becoming emperor and Wanyan Xiyin.

On the way back to the Kingdom of Jin, Wu Shu suddenly remembered that he hadn't figured out whether it was Song who supported the Liao Kingdom's firearms.

But, forget it, it is enough for Da Song to support him.

Wanyan Xiyin is a hard-working and good student. He was carefully taught by the top academic teacher Qin Hui in Song Dynasty for a long time, and he behaves like a pedant.

So when I returned to my hometown suddenly, I just felt that everything was wrong, and everything was not pleasing to the eye.

Blind dates, your life is too rough and unruly, you have to change it!

Change, must change!Stand up!

Ever since he named his sons in Chinese, Wanyan Aguda knew that he admired Sinology, but because of his limited level and lack of talents, he didn't know how to start with many things.

Finally, Wanyan Xiyin, who they sent out, came back from Xuecheng, not only created the Jurchen script, but also brought back the cultural essence of the Song Dynasty.

Aguda couldn't help crying secretly, to see who would dare to laugh at our Jurchens for being uncivilized in the future, "Xi Yin, I'll let you take the lead in reforming."

The Kingdom of Jin was busy with cultural construction, and the Kingdom of Liao recognized their Great Kingdom of Jin and married a princess.

The relationship between the two parties temporarily eased down.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Kingdom of Jin stood still and the Kingdom of Liao was not idle, the courtiers rolled up their sleeves and fought with Xiao Fengxian, and for a while there was a lot of wind for Yelu Aolu to overturn the case.

Yelu Yanxi once again felt the crisis, swung the butcher's knife, and killed all the Khitan nobles.

The government has temporarily stabilized, and the confrontation with Jin Guo continues.

Because of the food aid donated by Song State every year in the Youzhou Agreement, life is still passable.

At the same time, the Song Dynasty opened its own new title: Jianshi

Digest the Xixia that has just been swallowed.

The horse breeding land that has been longed for since the founding of the country has finally become a reality. The officials of the Song Dynasty were overjoyed.

From now on, Song Dynasty is also a country that can produce horses by itself.

Zhao Kai attached great importance to horse breeding and sent Li Gang to manage this important strategic reserve.

Because taxes in Youzhou and Xixia areas are relatively low, landless people in the interior moved there with their families.

Breaking into Youzhou and going to Xixia became a hot topic for a while.

Although various problems inevitably arise, the bottom line is to pursue a better life. With such a strong and beautiful desire, problems are not problems.

Just like all immigrants, there were fights and fights with the locals, and finally got along peacefully, and gradually settled down.

And the city wall built along the Taihang Mountain line, although it consumed a large amount of money from the country, it also stimulated the development of all walks of life. official.

In the face of these expenses, in addition to the salt ponds in Xixia, it is the sugar trade at sea.

I don't know when a word came up, money comes from the sea, silver waves, and sugar boats.

Of course, because the imperial court was only allowed to go to sea to sell cane sugar, most of the influx of silver went to the treasury, which did not cause a surplus of silver in circulation.

All officials know that this is promoted by Prime Minister Gao, who is under one person and above ten thousand.

So far, he has done a good job, strengthening the border defense and enriching the national coffers.

But soon, Baiguan discovered that the prime minister's policies were not limited to the above two items, and he made more important reforms.

The first was the establishment of a so-called technical school, recruiting well-known carpenters, stonemasons, and weavers as masters, teaching students and imparting their own skills.

To avoid the situation where masters "keep one hand" and "teach apprentices and starve masters to death", these masters who do not retain their skills will be rewarded by the court and receive a monthly salary according to the established level.

Outstanding contributions will be rewarded generously.

In addition to this, the martial arts was separated from the Guozijian, and a separate academy was established.

This move immediately aroused the vigilance of civil servants. When martial arts were under the Imperial College, they were not taken seriously. Everyone was very relieved. Now that they are separated separately, doesn't it mean that the status of martial arts should be improved.

Emphasizing literature over military affairs is the basic national policy of Song Dynasty, which cannot be shaken.

Gao Ming immediately said: "No, there is absolutely no promotion. I am afraid that being attached to the Imperial College will disturb the normal study and life of Confucian scholars, so I isolated this group of warriors separately. If everyone thinks that these warriors are not worthy of the standard of the Academy, I also agree with the revision, let’s call it a school.”

The word "book" is not used in schools, and the resistance of civil servants is not so strong.

But like the Imperial College and the Academy, they all have the highest person in charge. Gao Ming first proposed: "The principal should be called the Taiwei."

mess!The Taiwei was originally the highest officer of the Forbidden Army, and if he became the principal of this group of martial arts students, did he think they were too slow to form a party?

At this time, Zhao Kai spoke up, "My dear friends, don't panic, I have decided that I will be the headmaster, so I have no objection now? If I become the headmaster, can this group of martial arts students still rebel?"

Given that Zhao Kai's father, Zhao Ji, was the dean of the National Academy of Painting, it doesn't seem too much for him to be the principal of the Wushu School.

Moreover, it is better for the emperor to be the principal himself than to ask the Taiwei to be the principal.

Don't worry, don't worry.

But it seems that there is a faint feeling that something is wrong.

They quickly realized that the military generals trained in the future would all be the emperor's "students" and would be directly loyal to the emperor.

The emperor no longer controls military generals through civil servants, but intends to control military generals directly.

From emphasizing civility to military, to both civil and military.

The emperor and the prime minister are planning to play big.

But the protest memorials handed over were all lightly said by the emperor, "It's just a martial arts school, so make a fuss about it."

Gao Ming scolded: "Wu Xue was studying with Tai students in the Imperial College, and you felt that they did not pursue their studies and delayed Tai students. Now, for the sake of Tai students, they are separated, and you are dissatisfied. What do you want?! Or Said, do you think the government can't suppress even a few martial arts students?"

These students in the martial arts school can only be regarded as the seedlings of generals, and it's fine to be afraid of generals. Are they even afraid of students?

Is the emperor so cowardly in your eyes?

Not daring to question the emperor's ability, it is a martial arts school in name, but the actual military academy has successfully opened.

The emperor became the principal, and the status of these martial arts students is self-evident in the future. When they graduate and become officials one after another, one can imagine what kind of impact it will bring.

As the headmaster, Zhao Kai is very qualified. He allocates more money to the military school than the Imperial Academy, and he also compiles textbooks together with Prime Minister Gao Ming.

By making full use of his own level as the number one scholar, he has added a lot of polish to Li Gang's reading, and there are endless good sentences, which are convenient for students to recite, and deepen their loyalty and love for the royal family and the Song Dynasty.

Put ideological construction in an equally important position as physical training.

When he is free, Zhao Kai will also attend the school's internal activities, communicate cordially with the students, and enhance their relationship.

Three years later, the first batch of students graduated, and Zhao Kai even attended the ceremony, and personally awarded a gold medal to the number one martial arts scholar, and awarded him a good military position.

Other outstanding graduates also have good arrangements.

Although since Zhao Kai became the principal, martial arts, which has been neglected all the time, has become more and more popular, but when the first batch of graduates became officials, martial arts has completely become popular.

Zhao Kai was very satisfied, and when this group of people became popular, they could start to pay for the officials and gentry together.

Many things happened in the past three years. The most important thing was that the Kingdom of Jin clashed again because of the border demarcation issue with the Kingdom of Liao.

Yelu Yanxi and other royal relatives retreated to Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, and were soon overtaken by Aguda soldiers, so they had to withdraw all the members and rushed all the way to Datong Mansion in Yunzhou, Xijing.

At this time, Xiao Xinilie thought of the firearms that Song State had supported them before, and entered Song State to ask for help again.

This time, the Song State did not give any support, but only expressed its willingness to make Yelu Yanxi the King of Liao and take refuge in the Song Dynasty.

Of course Yelu Yanxi couldn't accept it and called Xiao Xinilie back.

Although it did not provide direct assistance to the Liao State, Da Song also expressed to the Jin State that the Xijing Datong of the Liao State is on the border between the Liao and Song Dynasties, and the Song State will never allow the Jin State to make trouble on the border. Fight back in self-defense.

In the process of chasing Yelu Yanxi, the Kingdom of Jin suddenly discovered that the eastern border of the Kingdom of Song had been formed into an iron barrel-like defense line with the help of natural dangers, and it needed to digest the territory of the Liao Kingdom that had just merged into the Kingdom of Jin.

Under the order of Aguda, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin stopped their pursuit of Yelu Yanxi and returned to their own country.

After another two years of stable life like this, when Aguda was preparing to conquer the Liao Kingdom again, he drank a few sips of wine a day and then fell ill. Both doctors and shamans consulted, but unfortunately it was ineffective.

Before he died, he held his younger brother Wanyan Sheng's hand and said: "I have entrusted the country to you, I believe in you, you will be a better emperor than me."

After hearing these words, the princes around were all in despair.

In the end, the father did not change his mind, and passed the throne to his son, but to his younger brother. This is obviously to repeat the mistakes of the Song Dynasty.

Under the cover of Wu Shu's grief for the death of his father, there is a heart of treason ready to go.

If he wanted to be emperor, he could only seize this opportunity.

Wanyan Sheng cannot be asked to secure the throne.

Everyone has different intentions, Wanyan Sheng also felt that his seat on the throne is not so secure.

He thought to himself, maybe after the restructuring, these nephews of his would all salute him when they saw him, and they were no longer as close as they were before, chatting and making trouble.

Is it time to restore their Jurchen old system?

However, seeing other people bowing to him three times and kowtowing nine times, he felt much more comfortable, and didn't want to change it back.

He decided to ignore the internal contradictions, focus on the outside world first, capture Yelu Yanxi and then go straight to Datong.

Unexpectedly, only halfway through the journey, it was heard that Wanyan Wushu, who said he was sick and didn't come with him, united with several other princes to rebel.

Wanyan Cheng could hardly believe his ears, shouldn't such things as betrayal only happen in the Liao Kingdom?

They Jurchens are so united, how could they rebel?

But the facts are the facts, Wanyan Sheng immediately led his army back to the Kingdom of Jin, but when he attacked the city, he was attacked by firearms.

This reminded him of what happened to him during the war against Liao five years ago, and he couldn't help cursing, "Wu Shu, you rebellious minister and traitor, how dare you pass Liao and Song Dynasty."

He also didn't know where the firearm came from, but it definitely wasn't Jin Guo's.

Wu Shu didn't care so much, he stood on the top of the wall and cursed: "Wu Qimai, you killed the late emperor and pretended to ascend the throne, I will avenge him today."

"Fourth, are you crazy? Uncle is a justifiable emperor!" Zong Wang pointed his whip at the top of the wall and cursed.

After all, a thunderous cannon fell near him.

The merciless attack knocked him off his horse.

He had been feeling unwell recently, but this time, he just felt dizzy and fell over.

Everyone hurriedly helped him down.

Wanyan Cheng said angrily: "Whoever takes Wanyan Zongbi's head, I will make him Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

The war lasted for a day and a night, and finally Wushu's firearms were exhausted, but Wanyan Sheng also suffered a big loss and had to withdraw his troops.

Wanyan Sheng was defeated and set his sights on Datong where Yelu Yanxi was, and immediately sent his troops west to attack Datong Mansion.

Although Wanyan Zongwang died of injuries and lost a general, Wanyan Cheng was very sad, but he still had his own son and Wanyan Loushi, the Jurchen god of war.

The remaining Khitan cavalry who followed Yelu Yanxi rose up to resist, but were still defeated in the end.

Before the city was broken, Yelu Yanxi fled into the territory of Song Dynasty to seek asylum.

But Wanyan Sheng knew that Yelu Yanxi had escaped, which would cause endless troubles, so he sent troops into the territory of Song Dynasty to capture Yelu Yanxi alive, and escorted him back to Datong.

I thought it was just an unintentional offense, so I sent an envoy to say a few good words, and Da Song exposed the matter.

Unexpectedly, this time Song Dynasty was out of anger, Emperor Zhao Kai appointed Taiwei Huarong to personally take command and send troops to fight.

Wanyan Sheng had only experienced two wars, and he was exhausted.

But in the face of the menacing Song army, he was not afraid, and gathered his troops to the border.

Inevitably, a vile battle.

Wanyan Sheng still has confidence in the Jurchen cavalry who have experienced many battles, not to mention fighting with their backs, which has inspired endless fighting power.

But at the same time, he also found that the Song army seemed to have been prepared for this battle, and the logistical materials had already been stockpiled and fully prepared.

Their Kingdom of Jin has heavy cavalry from head to toe that they saved from living frugally.

Song Dynasty also used heavy cavalry wrapped in armor with only eyes and nostrils exposed.

The number of Qingqi is also comparable.

The Jurchen cavalry could gather like bees after being dispersed, and they had a very strong cohesion, but the cavalry of the Song Dynasty scattered, and they could reunite under the sound of the whistle.

The fierce battle lasted from daytime to dusk, and finally in the bloody sunset, Wanyan Cheng heard: "General Lou Shi has been shot by an arrow!", his head buzzed, and he instantly realized that his doom was over.

Wanyan Loushi and their Jurchen war gods are his most proud generals.

Wan Yancheng looked forward, under the setting sun, he seemed to see a general of the Song Army who was still shooting an arrow. He was not sure if this person shot it, but his premonition told him that it was him, it was Hua Rong.

He vaguely remembered that when the Jurchens were able to sit on the kang to discuss politics, Gao Ming and Hua Rong from the Song Kingdom came to visit.

Lou Shi shot a wild goose, and Hua Rong shot an eagle.

It seemed like today's rehearsal, the other party was superior in the end.

He gritted his teeth and roared, "Withdraw troops—"

Back in Datong city, before resting, there was a loud noise, it turned out that the outer city was blown down by Song's firearms.

There was no other way, Wanyan Sheng could only continue to abandon Datong City with the remnants, and came to the grassland.

But they are still powerful. They gave up Datong and found another city to be their capital, still calling themselves Dajin.

At the same time, in the place where Jurchen prospered, there was also a Dajin Kingdom, but the emperor had Wanyan Wushu.

Both sides accused the other of being a false emperor, and conflicts continued.

It is obvious that the Eastern Kingdom of Jin with Wanyan Wushu is stronger, while the Western Kingdom of Wanyan Sheng is not as strong.

However, within a few days of Wanyan Wushu's good days, he found that his territory was not stopping.

As if overnight, a group of guys who claimed to be believers in Mingjiao started to make trouble.

Many of them are former members of Khitan, quite capable and very difficult to fight.

There are also Wanyan Zongqiang and others who have returned to the country, bringing many lifestyles of the Song Dynasty, which cannot be changed even if they want to.

For example, cuju and polo with clearer rules quickly became popular.

But the dispute between the Eastern and Western Jurchens has nothing to do with Song Dynasty.

The recovery of Yunzhou, that is, Datong, means the complete recovery of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures.

Finally, all the gaps in the border between the east and west lines were blocked, and the northern fence has been completely built since then.

Blocked the Jurchen who was split into two parts from the fence.

Sit back and watch them fight, help whoever is weak, while the cultural erosion continues.

-

Another three years of Guotai Minan.

Gao Ming, who has been the prime minister for eight years, can be said to have great power in his hands, and the power is in the hands of the government and the public.

At the same time, his own minister, Hua Rong, was a Taiwei, and he was also named Duke of Qin because of the Datong War.

The two are extremely human ministers, and their power has reached its peak.

Gao Ming keenly sensed a smell, the smell of burning oil, about to catch fire.

The conflict between the prime minister's power and the monarchy's power was unavoidable between him and Zhao Kai sooner or later.

Before the beauty is destroyed, it is better to be smart and retreat bravely.

On this day, Gao Ming held the records in the ancient book and came to find Zhao Kai who was painting: "I feel that the Fusang Kingdom recorded in the ancient book is indeed true. It is not only rich in silver, gold, emeralds, and high-yield crops. Song has a population of over [-] million and needs such crops."

Zhao Kai didn't know why Gao Ming mentioned this, "Fusang? I think it's Japan."

Gao Ming said with a smile: "I think you can only discover this place by starting from Song Dynasty, going to Sanfoqi, then going to Dashi, going north to Europa, and continuing westward."

He agrees more with the statement that Fusang is America.

Zhao Kai looked at him and tilted his head, "Do you want to send someone out to sea to find this place?"

"I want to go by myself, with Hua Rong." Gao Ming said.

Zhao Kai was stunned, dropped the pen on the rice paper, and said with a smile, "Stop joking, I won't allow it."

Gao Ming laughed and said, "But I really want to go."

He and Zhao Kai had agreed at the beginning that they would embark on a different path of monarch and minister.

Now that Zhao Kai is firmly seated on the throne, he is a smart man, Gao Ming should have assisted him in the past eight years.

Zhao Kai adopted everything that Zhao Kai could accept, and the rest depended on Zhao Kai and Baiguan to work together, Gao Ming's role was limited.

He didn't want to end up in a state of mutual suspicion, embankment, and struggle with this good emperor who had always supported him.

Maybe not, maybe, but Gao Ming thinks it's time to cool down and it's not bad.

Zhao Kai naturally understood Gao Ming's thoughts, "Why did you leave? You don't trust me?"

"How should I put it, the world is so big, Chen and Huarong want to explore it, we have already agreed. My father also agreed. If Fusang can be found, it will be a great joy for Da Song, such an important thing , I don’t worry about others, so naturally I have to do it myself.”

Zhao Kai was silent, depressed and told Gao Ming to go back, he had to think about it.

Three days later, he agreed to Gao Ming's request, "Whether you find Fusang or not, come back when you are tired, and I will wait for you."

Gao Ming and Hua Rong bowed to the emperor.

For their actions, the government and the public were in an uproar. If the good prime minister and Taiwei don't do it, they want to go to sea? !

But Gao Ming and Hua Rong didn't care what others thought, and embarked on the journey.

Before leaving, Gao Qi cried when he was old, which made Gao Ming and Hua Rong comfort him for a long time, but fortunately he had his grandson as a comforter, so Gao Qi bid farewell to the two with tears and told them to come back early.

The two set off in the morning light, and with their trusted entourage, they set off from Tokyo to the port and set sail to sea.

There is no rush along the way, traveling in mountains and rivers, eating, drinking and having fun, just like a vacation.

After wandering around, I boarded the sailing boat that went out to sea.

He and Hua Rong boarded one of them, and there were several accompanying ships, it was a huge fleet sailing to the west.

Hua Rong supported the fence with both hands, looked at the sparkling blue sea, and said with a smile: "Those people must not understand why you want to go to sea."

Gao Ming raised the map in his hand, and said with a smile: "How can I be trapped in boring power struggles? When I think of the rest of my life, I will have to fight those old men in the court and Zhao Kai, and I will despair. It's all right now, let's go together Go see the world, sell sugar and buy things, go west and west and west."

Hua Rong naturally agreed with what Gao Ming said. Once the military academy is established, there will be a steady stream of talents. After he leaves, someone will naturally fill in. "Don't forget, you said that you should write a diary every day to record what you see. smell."

Gao Ming said confidently: "That's natural. The value of my notebook is immeasurable, and it will become an important material for future research. Moreover, I have decided that when we come back, we can also come back by land. I heard that Yelu Dashi established the new Liao Kingdom and became the emperor, so we can go around."

At this time, the fleet set off and Yang Fan set off.

Hua Rong looked into the distance, "Set sail..."

Gao Ming smiled and said, "A new journey."

Hua Rong looked at him with a smile, and held his hand, while Gao Ming held back tightly.

No matter where you go, always be with you.

The author has something to say:

—The text ends here.

The Kingdom of Jin split into two. No matter how weak it is, how it perishes is a very long process.

Gao Ming didn't want to accompany the onlookers.

As Gao Ming himself said, he has done everything he should do. He has reached the highest achievement he can achieve in the Song Dynasty, and he is about to embark on a new journey.

He and Hwa Jung will have a wonderful life.
