The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

As soon as Gao Ming entered the mansion, he asked the doorman, "Is General Hua back?"

What does it mean to have a heart-to-heart connection, this is it.

Just after entering the backyard, I saw Hua Rong walking towards me, and said with a smile: "I thought you are a busy person, and it will take a few days to come back. However, you came back just in time, and I happened to have something good to give you. I forgot to tell you that night."

Hua Rong was thinking about the plan that the Taiwei proposed to him just now, and was a little absent-minded, "Send me something?"

"You must like it." Gao Ming took his hand and said as he walked towards Yingfang, "Guess what it is?"

What the Taiwei asked Hua Rong to say just now has been forgotten by him, just ignore it, it is more important to go to Gao Ming to see the gift.

When the two came to Yingfang, Gao Ming asked someone to hold the lamp, stepped in with Hua Rong, pointed at Hai Dongqing on the scaffold, and said with a smile: "This is a gift from the king."

Although he was named the king of the county, he didn't dare to call himself the king outside, and he could do whatever he wanted at home, especially in front of Hua Rong.

Huarong understands the value of Costin, but it is hard to find it in the Liao Kingdom, and it is even rarer in the Song Dynasty.

He was delighted, "Where did you get it?"

"It was brought by people from the Kingdom of Jin across the border." Gao Ming straightened his waist, "This king rewarded you! This gift is not bad."

Hua Rong is good at riding and shooting, and when hunting with Hai Dongqing, it is like a tiger with wings, so there is no reason not to like it.

Gao Ming looked at Hua Rong expectantly, waiting for his reaction. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared, because the next moment, he was hugged by Hua Rong.

Gao Ming looked up at him, Hua Rong also leaned over, the two of them were very close to each other.

Hua Rong didn't touch her, but looked at the sweetheart in her arms with burning eyes, "...I like it."

Gao Ming's heart skipped a beat, did he say he liked Costin, or did he say he liked himself?

He himself didn't know what was going on, since everything had happened with Huarong, why would he blushed occasionally and his heart beat.

He couldn't support Huahua Taisui at all, but fortunately no one mentioned it for a long time.

Gao Ming pursed his lips and smiled, "As long as we like it, let's go hunting another day."

Hua Rong is hunting with Hai Dongqing, he must be very handsome, I really want to see it.

Hua Rong pointed out, "I mean, I like you."

Gao Ming's cheeks became hot, hey, I can't get tired of hearing the confession so many times, he took the initiative to greet him, and kissed him together.

……

The two of them stayed up all night.

Gao Ming lay in Huarong's arms, he didn't even want to move his fingertips, or he didn't have the strength to move.

He raised his eyes and looked at Huarong. He didn't see any fatigue at all, but there was a little sweat on his forehead.

The physical fitness of the generals is terrible.

Hua Rong put his arms around Gao Ming, talked to him intimately for a while, felt that this might be a good time, and said to him: "The Taiwei called me over just now, and asked me if you are okay."

Gao Ming found out that his father hadn't given up yet, so he couldn't help sighing, "Is he still thinking about this? Well, no wonder, he probably still wants to continue the incense. You think I can't do it?"

"It's natural, how can I tell him the real situation." Hua Rong said: "Then he told me a plan that made me breathless."

"Hold your breath?" Gao Ming had a bad premonition, "Didn't you ask some strange woman to borrow your seed from you? No, my father probably wouldn't do such a thing."

Hua Rong didn't expect Gao Ming to think about it, so he couldn't help laughing: "Of course not, how could you have such a strange idea?!"

Gao Ming thought to himself, just because he was afraid that his life would suddenly turn into a dog-blooded ethics drama, so it would be fine. "I just said, my dad can't do such a stupid thing. Then why are you holding your breath?"

"He is not confused, but very smart. Let me tell you from the beginning."

Hua Rong told Gao Ming the conversation after the Taiwei called him into the study, without missing a single word.

"..." After listening to Gao Ming, his lips moved, but he didn't know what to say, so he continued: "..."

"He also told me not to tell you, but you think, is it possible? How could I join hands with him to hide it from you." Hua Rong said.

It is a matter of choice, and of course Gao Ming is the number one.

After Gao Ming listened to it at first, he felt that his father's behavior was speechless, but when he calmed down and thought about it again, he could discover the father's love behind this plan.

His father was worried that he would have regrets in his life because he did not have a biological son, so he took this method to make him happy.

If he was really physically damaged and forced to cut off his sleeves, he would be so happy to see the child jumping out suddenly.

Seeing that he is very healthy now, being with Hua Rong is his active choice.

Moreover, this matter is not only about him alone, but also about Huarong. It is impossible for him to make decisions alone, and he has to respect Huarong's opinion, "Oh, he is really, how can I ask you to ask me this question?" No wonder you say hold your breath."

"However, having said that, have you ever been on the way to Hangzhou?" Hua Rong asked calmly.

"Of course not, not to mention not on the way to Hangzhou, even when I was in Tokyo!"

More precisely, neither before nor after he came.

The two of them have basically been together since Hangzhou, and there must be no possibility of meddling with others, but neither did they in Tokyo, which made Hua Rong very strange, "Never in Tokyo?"

How did Hua Hua Tai Sui get the nickname?

Gao Ming realized that he had almost missed the point by accident, and hurriedly explained: "I regretted it after Mrs. Lin's incident, and I haven't done anything since then. Oh, don't mention these things, old Huang Li."

Hua Rong recalled the time, and said with a smile: "Isn't that the first time I met me? Ah, you once said, 'After meeting me, you will become better', come on, don't you You fell in love with Brother Hua at the first sight, and started to guard yourself like a jade?"

"Don't give yourself gold, can you?" Gao Ming grinned at him, "As long as you want to cut me when you see me for the first time, I don't dare to have any thoughts about you."

Hua Rong thought of the first time she saw Gao Ming's cold eyebrows at him, and she also found it funny. Who would have thought that the relationship between the two would develop into what it is now.

The two laughed and quarreled for a few words, but they had to continue talking about business.

"About Taiwei's proposal, how do you plan to respond? There must be an explanation." Hua Rong said: "Either I told him, I asked, but you have always kept yourself clean and never had an affair with anyone else. Or falsely claim On the way to the south of the Yangtze River, you had a good night with a certain woman. I told the Taiwei the news and told him to lie. When he brings the child, you pretend not to know and recognize your own son happily. The Taiwei is happy to see you , he also fulfilled a wish. Everyone is happy."

Gao Ming said, "Do you not mind the latter method?"

After all, they are both together, but Huarong's face is not good-looking when he has a son in Gaoyan.

"I abducted you away, so I have to give the Taiwei some comfort." Hua Rong said with a smile: "This child was brought back and raised in the Taiwei's house, can you take care of it?"

They are so busy that they have to find time to meet each other on weekdays. Even if the child has a nanny, they still have to worry about it.

Gao Ming shook his head, "No."

He has no interest in raising children now.

But his father seems to be lonely and wants to live a life of being a child.

Give the elderly spiritual comfort.

He is away from home all day now, and his father is almost an empty nester.

Thinking of his father's broken heart for him, Gao Ming raised his eyebrows, "Then... let me act like a happy father?"

I am really happy to be a father, sitting at home behind closed doors, and my son comes from the sky.

"You have a successor, and your father won't keep staring at you."

If there is a grandson, I will go to watch the grandson, Gao Ming agrees, get a child for his father to raise, and distract his old man's attention.

"However, is it unfair to you? How about you ask someone to help you, act like a happy father, and give the old lady an explanation..."

"Forget it, it's not necessary." Hua Rong smiled and said, "Just give the Taiwei an explanation first."

Gao Ming curled his lips, "Okay. Then you tell him that you asked about it. When Ya Nei was in Hangzhou, he once went boating on the lake. He met a fisherman named Rong Niang and married for a night. After that, Ya Nei lifted his trousers. Ruthlessly ran away."

After Gao Ming finished speaking, Hua Rong raised his chin and asked with a smile, "Do you not want to sleep tonight?"

Gao Ming smiled and said, "What's wrong with me? You have taken over the word Rong? Can't a fisherman's girl be called Rong Niang?"

"No, will you change it?"

"to not fix."

"If you don't change it, then I'll see how hard your mouth is."

……

"Oh...in Hangzhou, did you meet a fisherman's girl before Fang Tianding was injured by Liu Ya when he attacked the city?" Gao Li was very happy when he heard Hua Rong's report, "That's really great. It's very close, and if the child is looking for it at this point in time, it's still very young, so it's easy to raise close."

Hua Rong pretended to agree, "Yes.

"What's the name of that fisherman's girl?" When identifying relatives, the woman's name must be revealed. "Please tell me the details again. You didn't ask too rashly, let him notice the clue, right?"

"No, I was very careful, pretending to bring up the topic inadvertently." Huarong pretended to be entangled and said: "As for the fisherman's daughter, her surname is Wang, and her name is Wang Zhenniang."

In the middle of the night, Gao Ming changed his mind.

Gao Qiu comforted Hua Rong and said, "I'm making things difficult for you, but it's all for the good of the yamen, besides, it's all in the past, so don't take it to heart. Where will he get any more women in the future, he will only be with you."

These few words actually touched Hua Rong's heart.

That is, how could Gao Ming be nice to others in the future.

He is his.

-

Gao Ming pretended not to know anything about his father's secretive actions, and quietly brewed his acting skills, waiting for the day when he would like to become a father.

I hope that this child will carry the banner of incense, fulfill his father's wish, and help his father's branch multiply and grow.

When it comes to reproduction and growth, Zhao Ji does his part in this regard, and another concubine in the harem gave birth to a prince and princess, setting a record for the remaining births.

In this way, conferring rewards on concubines and conferring princes and princesses is another expense.

Although it is not a lot of money, it once again aroused Zhao Ji's desire for money.

The northern pass wall still needs to be repaired.

A few days ago, I had agreed with the officials to build the city wall first by embezzling other expenditures.

But in the final analysis, treating the symptoms and not the root cause can only be delayed for a while, and sooner or later new and old accounts will come to the door.

So the matter of getting money was put on the agenda again.

Li Yingcai sent by Gao Ming had just set off and hadn't brought back specific news about the sugar business. Besides, King Yun didn't mention it, and Gao Ming didn't dare to open his mouth to give Zhao Ji hope.

In case this money-spending master thinks it's easy to make money, he's going to waste money now.

Besides, other officials in the imperial court may not believe that simple cane sugar can be sold to earn silver.

Let's wait for Li Ying to bring back the real information.

Zhao Ji didn't know that in the not-too-distant future, the sea of ​​silver could be used to flood in, so he was worried about money, so he focused on increasing taxes.

But I also know that the Central Plains can no longer increase taxes, and if they want to increase, they will be added to the new state capital that is coming back.

"I think that since Youyun is the territory of the Song Dynasty, the laws of the Song Dynasty must be implemented, and taxes should be in line with those of the Central Plains." Zhao Ji looked at the ministers, "What do you think?"

The Liao Kingdom is a typical one country, two systems, and the North Campus is different from the South Campus in many places.

But the Great Song Dynasty is different, everyone should listen to the orders of the central emperor.

Now that Youzhou and other state capitals are back, the same policy should be implemented.

As soon as Zhao Ji's proposal came out, another stone was thrown into the calm lake.

Immediately, they were divided into two opposing camps and began to quarrel.

Some people think that as soon as it is taken back, it will be messed up, carefully arousing the local rebellious psychology.

The other party believes that the implementation of various laws and policies of the Liao State in the land of the Song Dynasty is unreasonable.

Now is the time to spend money again, Youzhou City can collect a lot of money no matter in terms of population or business scale to solve the urgent need.

"If the Khitan people in the city are dissatisfied with the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, they can leave. They left, just to make room for the real citizens of the Great Song Dynasty to live. In case they want to drive them away now, people who are not my race will have a different heart."

The feud and grievances with the Liao Kingdom made it difficult for many people to treat the Khitan people in a peaceful manner.

Gao Ming didn't want to speak at first, because once he opened his mouth, it would appear that he was very dark-hearted, but at this moment, he couldn't bear to hear such remarks.

He stood up and argued: "According to what I see, it is not appropriate to change the existing laws and regulations. There are two reasons. First, Youzhou has just been taken back, and people's hearts are fluctuating. It is not appropriate to change the existing lives of the people in the city. Lawbreakers can take advantage of this opportunity. The second reason is that if you want to rule Youzhou stably for a long time, you cannot increase taxes at this time. Instead of driving out the existing Khitan people, it is better to assimilate the current Khitan people."

"Assimilation? Is it enlightenment? A lot of energy and money have been spent on civilizing the soldiers. You may not know how big a project it is to civilize the people in the newly recovered state capital. It is not as simple as repairing the northern city wall."

"The assimilation I'm talking about is not to make them change their minds like soldiers, but to completely dilute them. The method is also very simple. Youzhou and other cities pay less taxes than those in the Central Plains. As long as they are left alone, the people themselves will be happy Live in the past. When the city is full, the Khitan people will become an absolute minority, and they will not be able to stir up any troubles. Instead of driving the people over, it is better to let the people be called and live in the past willingly. When the local people are all Han people, it will not be too late to collect taxes .”

It only takes three steps to truly rule a place, first to eliminate their royal family, second to win over their elites, and third to replace their common people.

The rule of the Liao Kingdom has been withdrawn from Youzhou, and the first point has been reached.

It is not a problem to win over the elites of Youzhou and hand them over to Murong Yanze.

There is only the third point, which is also the most important point. After a large number of immigrants, the local population structure and culture have undergone earth-shaking changes. Do you still worry about this place not being ruled by yourself?

Zhao Ji is famous for his soft ears, so he couldn't help feeling that Gao Ming's words made sense.

Seeing that he was wavering, Gao Ming persuaded him further: "Officials, the tax collection now is just to scrape off the icing on the pastry. In time, you can eat the whole pastry."

Gao Ming's opinion was immediately supported by those who opposed the tax increase. "For officials, if you want long-term peace and stability, you should really follow what Mr. Gao said. If Youzhou has long-term peace and stability, the surrender of Yunzhou will not be a problem."

Nothing can cool people's hearts.

Zhao Ji was completely shaken. After all, Yunzhou hadn't been included in the Song Dynasty yet, so he temporarily gave up the plan to slaughter the fat piece of Youzhou. Share your worries for me."

The routine discussion was fruitless, and the problem was thrown to Cai Jing.

Even so, Zhao Ji felt that he had fulfilled all the duties that he should have performed, not just going to the harem to visit the concubine who had just given birth without interfering with the government.

In fact, Cai Jing has no good solution. At present, he has raised a sum of money by demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall. He is waiting for the spring to start construction and repair the city wall.

During this period, Zhao Kai personally asked Gao Ming several times about the sugar trade, which shows that he was very caring. Hearing that Gao Ming had sent people to sea, he patiently waited for the news.

-

At Wanyan's house, Gao Ming would go there whenever he was free, and he couldn't miss anything that was delicious or fun.

When he was free that day, he went to the door again. On the way, he happened to meet Qin Hui's sedan chair who was leaving his lecture.

Qin Hui recognized Gao Ming, and hurriedly got off the sedan chair to bow to him.

The grandfather of Qin Hui's wife, Wang's family, was a prime minister. The Wang family was a famous family. In comparison, Qin Hui's background was poor, but because he was a Jinshi, he was caught by the Wang family's list of arresting son-in-laws, and he became prosperous step by step.

Apart from being talented, she is also not ugly. At first glance, she looks pretty flat-headed.

What's more, Gao Ming's speech was beyond Gao Ming's expectation. He sighed a long time, and then said in a tone of concern for the country and the people: "Master Gao, these Jin people are very attentive in their lectures, and their enterprising spirit is not weak."

Gao Ming said: "Have you emphasized the importance of etiquette to them as I ordered?"

"It's natural, I follow Master Gao's instructions, but let them, the foreign barbarians, know how to be polite, it's really..." Qin Hui showed a faint contemptuous attitude, with a kind of discrimination that Jin people are barbaric and unworthy of courtesy.

Strange to say, when Zhao Ji was the emperor, Qin Hui could be regarded as an angry youth, and when the Jin army attacked Tokyo for the first time, he opposed the cession of land for peace.

But after he was arrested in the Kingdom of Jin, and later ran back to the Southern Song Dynasty, his attitude changed drastically. He didn't know what happened to him when he was in the Kingdom of Jin. Yue Fei.

Either this guy was an angry youth before just to gain fame, or he was frightened when he went to the Kingdom of Jin, and was instigated by Wushu by the way.

At present, Qin Hui has not yet activated the attributes of a treacherous minister, so he can be regarded as an active volcano during the dormant period, and the attitude of the Jinren at this time is quite contemptuous.

This kind of person, when nothing happens, looks more loyal and courageous than anyone else, and when he encounters a dangerous situation, he kneels faster than anyone else.

Gao Ming said coldly: "Just follow my instructions and teach them. As for the rest, you don't have to worry about it. You can go back to rest and continue teaching tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he turned and left, going to Wanyan's residence.

The person Wanyan Zongqiang had known since Song Dynasty was Gao Ming, and he greeted him as soon as he heard that he was coming.

Especially Wanyan Zongqiang was still hugging his Pekingese, "You haven't seen anyone for a few days, we thought you were demoted and left Tokyo."

I haven't seen you for a few days, and the language has improved pretty well. I even learned how to demote officials. Gao Ming smiled and said, "I'm not inconsiderate in taking care of you. Why did you demote me?" It was so frightened that it retracted its hand.

The others laughed when they saw it.

Gao Ming counted the heads, there were obviously not enough people from Wanyan's family present, only four.

Zong Juan, Wanyan Xiyin and several others were not there.

"Eh? Where's Xi Yin?"

"He is copying books with a few other people."

"What kind of books are sold on the street, so there is no need to copy them."

"I don't know, it's probably for memory, don't worry about him."

Gao Ming asked again: "What about His Royal Highness Sixth Prince?"

Wanyan Zongqiang smacked his lips, "Go out and have some fun, who knows where?"

That's right, let's go out and play more.Gao Ming laughed and said, "Why didn't you go?"

Wanyan Zongqiang frowned, but in an instant he thought of answering Gao Ming's words, "Why should I go by myself, I'll wait for you to arrange it for me."

Okay, you, the more you retort, the more you talk, Gao Ming smiled, "Okay, I will arrange for you, what do you want to play, hunting?"

"It's boring." He has been hunting since he was a child, and he went to the Song Kingdom to hunt?He was really busy and had nothing to do.

"How about playing polo?" Gao Ming recommended this sport.

"Polo? Hitting rocks on a horse?"

"We play ball, but it's similar to hitting rocks. It should be similar." Gao Ming said.

Wanyan Zongqiang said with a cheerful smile: "Just play with this! We Jurchens are all good players, and the person you recruit can't be too bad. By the way, that Huarong, he has to come!"

This is roll call, Gao Ming nodded slowly, "No problem."

Seeing Gao Ming agreeing so readily, Wanyan Zongqiang became very competitive, "The princes of your country will also participate. Can King Yun play polo?"

Of course, King Yun knew how to play polo, and polo was considered a court sport. From Zhao Ji to his sons, they were all proficient in this game.

But Gao Ming didn't dare to agree hastily, "I don't know much about this, I have to go back and ask His Royal Highness King Yun for instructions."

"How about this, there will be a polo match between the Great Song Kingdom and the Great Jin Kingdom. We have two princes participating, and you also need the same specifications!" Wanyan Zongqiang said, the more the plan in his mind took shape, "At least two princes!"

Is this polo diplomacy?Gao Ming nodded, "I will convey your opinion."

Wanyan Zongqiang did not hide his complacency at all, "Hahaha, our side must win."

Gao Ming thought to himself, it is not surprising that Yan Zongqiang can stand on the back of a galloping horse as if walking on the ground after rushing.

But competitions are all about teamwork, Gao Ming also laughed, "I don't think it will be Da Song who wins."

"Then we'll see." Wanyan Zongqiang was full of confidence.

"Okay, let's wait and see, let's have dinner today." Gao Ming said with a smile: "I'll spend dinner with you tonight, why don't we have hot pot."

"Hot Pot?"

Gao Ming said: "Hasn't Lao Chang arranged for you to eat hot pot yet? That's just right, let's have it today. It happens that the sixth prince is not here, so let's eat first or not."

Wanyan Zongqiang was amused by this sentence, "Okay, let's not take him."

Gao Ming felt at ease while eating, and asked Lao Chang to set up a charcoal hot pot, and sat around with the rest of Wanyan's family, eating fresh sliced ​​mutton.

"this is delicious--"

The hot-boiled mutton has received unanimous praise.

Among them, Wanyan Zongqiang was concerned about his old father Aguda in his hometown, and said to Wanyan Xiyin in the Jurchen words: "You must take one of this kind of pot back, and ask Father to taste it."

Wanyan Xiyin added hot pot to the list of items that she needed to bring back to the Kingdom of Jin.

Satisfied with wine and food, Gao Ming said goodbye to all the Wanyans. They got to know each other better. When he left, Wanyan Zongqiang and Wanyan Xiyin came out to see him off.

Especially Wanyan Xiyin, watching Gao Ming's back on horseback, couldn't help but feel emotional.

Gao Ming is good everywhere, but unfortunately, he is a broken sleeve.

That's right, after studying hard for so many days, he already knew from the history books that the phenomenon of Gao Ming kissing Hua Rong is called Duanxiu.

The book is really a good thing, you can find the answer to any question in it.

He must read more.

Moreover, he felt that the reason why Song people were able to operate such a large city was that there were rules, respect and inferiority, orderly top and bottom, and everyone was in their own position.

Well, etiquette and rules!

He wants to bring back to the Kingdom of Jin everything he deems valuable.

-

Gao Ming ate hot pot and drank wine. He felt dizzy and rode a horse, enjoying the cool autumn wind. He felt very comfortable.

Arriving home so comfortably, he stepped into the door of the mansion, and saw the old man running in a panic, "Yanei, you are back, the Taiwei has been looking for you for a while."

"What's the matter?" Generally, the elders don't care if they come to remind them in person, it's all important things.

The old man shook his head, just urged, "Go over quickly."

Gao Ming took three steps in parallel, and arrived at the study in the backyard. Before he opened the door to enter, he heard the cry of a baby coming from inside.

Gao Ming's heart skipped a beat, isn't this too efficient?It's only been a few days, and the child is here?

He pushed open the door and saw that his father was holding a baby in his arms who seemed to be under one year old.

Gao Ming thought to himself, well, I have to pick up my acting skills again.

His expression was both puzzled and curious, "Father, whose child is this?"

Gao Lian can be called a cunning and cunning expert when dealing with others, but he can't do it when facing his own son.

Gao Qiu was "guilty of being a thief", and after seeing his son's confused and innocent eyes, he stuttered, "Who, who, you, you still have the nerve to ask?"

Seeing his father like this, Gao Ming sighed in his heart, Dad, your acting skills are so bad, how can I take your role.
