There is Zadeng Mountain in front of Xuande Gate.

You have to tie it up. Although it is not time to turn on the lamp, there are still many viewers. It is also a pleasure to watch the formation of the lamp mountain bit by bit.

Cui Xian also accompanied the five ladies to watch Lantern Mountain, but the five ladies were not very interested and stared at the busy craftsmen and the people with empty eyes.

Jiang Xing'er whispered: "When will the official come back?"

"It's almost done," Cui Xian replied in a low voice. If you can hear good news soon, you can hear good news soon, and if you can wait late April, you can also hear news. If it's over April, there is no news yet, and the husband will die for a lifetime. If someone else can surrender to the Khitan, his husband will rather die than surrender to the Khitan at this level. In fact, every day is a painful torture.

Everyone was not very interested, so they turned home. Mr. Lu sat in the Zheng family waiting for them to come back.

He gave the courtesy first, and then said to Choi Xian: "The person has set out."

Cui Xian's face relaxed. This time the imperial decree was quick. She handed over the trust Lu Gongzi to Wu Yu, Wu Yu to the emperor, and then issued an edict to ask Zhang Kang to come back. It only took six days. She had never been to Daizhou, but she had been to the northwest. The road from Daizhou to Beijing was definitely not far from Weizhou to Beijing. However, the road from Hedong Road was not smooth. It can be imagined that Zhang Kang was rushing all the way to grab the time, or the imperial envoy in the court rushed to grab the time. Looking at the palace, he whispered: "Thank you, the emperor."

The speed was astonishingly fast. Zhao Zhen scattered the court. After reading the letter, he finally understood Zheng Lang's final escape method. He felt it was incredible, but thinking about it carefully was indeed a good idea. He immediately ordered Zhang Kang to come back and selected three thousand elite cavalry from the capital, including all the Jurchen warriors.

The depravity was not as slow as Zheng Lang imagined. First, the third group of people were added later, which became a catfish effect. Second, they still retained their original pride and believed that they were the most powerful soldiers of the Song Dynasty and did not relax for a while. Third, they stayed in the military camp and had a higher barbaric degree than the later Jurchens. They were not as quick as Zheng Lang thought. At this time, this Jurchen warrior was indeed the most powerful army of the Song Dynasty.

However, even if Zhao Zhen’s edict is covered with a jade seal, it may not be valid. It must be written into a regular edict by the two-system officials on the head of the lyrics. This edict can become a real edict. If the two-system officials feel that it is inappropriate, they have the right to return the edict. To put it as a nice saying, that is, the edict that the emperor has not formed. This is to further supervise the imperial power to prevent the abuse of the imperial power.

There are examples of this system in Han Dynasty, but not many of them were formed in the early Tang Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was developed and developed until Zhao Zhen. First, it was given to the ministers and the ministers of the Central Secretariat, but it was extended to the Hanlin scholars and the masters of imperial edicts. After reading the edict, officials in the two systems asked: "Your Majesty, why did you transfer troops?"

This is the strongest three thousand iron cavalry. The country is peaceful and the reason why it is mobilized for no reason?

Zhao Zhen said lightly: "Save Zheng Lang from the sea."

The two-system officials did not ask anything and wrote this edict as a regular edict. The army was mobilized from the capital. Zhao Zhen said coldly again: "Don't disclose it."

Who dares to leak it?

Even if three thousand iron cavalry can rescue Zheng Lang back? I don’t believe it. Could it be that Zheng Lang has a way to escape to the beach? The Khitans are not fools.

As soon as Zhang Kang arrived in the capital, he asked Zhao Zhen to summon him into the palace, and said expressionlessly: "Zhang Qing. This is a letter from Zheng Lang's wife, Madam Cui. Take a look."

It was said in the secret decree, Zhang Kang knew it, looked at it again, and said, "Your Majesty, I will definitely not let your Majesty down."

"The wind is strong at sea, you must be careful."

"yes."

"Go." Zhao Zhen watched Zhang Kang leave, and his heart was still very nervous. Cui Xian revealed the truth, Zhao Zhen knew it was not that simple. Zheng Lang was still very dangerous at this time. Suddenly he smiled. Although Zheng Lang was really dangerous this time, his life was rich and colorful, and no one in the court could match. Then he looked into the distance and his smile slowly became gentle. He sighed in his heart that when Taizu met Zhao Pu, Liu Bei met Zhuge Liang, and Fu Jian met Wang Meng, it was just like this.

A minister will sacrifice his life not only for himself and for his daughter. What else can such a minister say?

Zhang Kang set out with three thousand iron cavalry, and many ministers in the capital were discussing this matter.

As confused as the two-system officials, the country is in peace now, what are these three thousand strongest cavalry going east? They are discussing. In fact, it is not just Jia Changchao, but Zheng Lang's invisible political enemies.

As soon as it is leaked, the Khitan will take everything from there. Not to mention that these three thousand people actually only took 300 Jurchen soldiers, other Han cavalry are confusing everyone's attention. What can they do if they take all these three thousand soldiers away?

The east wind comes slowly, and spring returns, but whether people return or not is unknown.

...

After driving through Changchun (Tathu City in the southwest of Songyuan, not today's Changchun), we have to travel 35 miles northeast, where is there a big lake? The Khitans called it Yuerlu (now Chagan Lake, not now the moon bathing in the moon, Lao Wu almost fell for the fool). This is the main location of the Khitan Chunnabo.

The fish passes through the Huantong River and can hook into a large fish ocean to swim back. The cow fish, also known as phimfish, is a large carnivorous fish with a length of more than five meters and a weight of two tons. It is not only like a calf, but also can make a loud sound after being alarmed, like a big cow, which can travel for a mile.

In some aspects, it is quite like a pufferfish. It has a special toxin on its body, which is more toxic than pufferfish. It can often poison nearby fish and sometimes kill itself. However, after removing the toxins, the meat is very delicious. A small half of the Khitan Chunnabo came to face this cow fish.

There are also several activity sites, mixed with rivers, but most of them are in the upper reaches of Yazi River (Northern Songhua River) or Changchun River (Talu River). Generally, fish first, hunt and finally shoot geese. It starts early in the first lunar month, starts late in the early February, ends early in the end at the end of March, and ends early in the early April.

This year should be relatively late.

On the second day of the second month, the car drove slowly towards the fish.

Unfortunately, Zheng Lang fell ill on the road again. He was a literati and lived in the south for a long time. The cold weather in the north was unacceptable. He could understand the coldness of the cold. There was no way, Liao Xingzong had to order people to put Zheng Lang in the car and couldn't throw it away halfway. Liao Xingzong was not relieved. May was approaching and he had to take Zheng Lang well. It was estimated that the Southern Dynasties would send envoys over soon and then throw out the last memorial. This was a transformation process. After so long, the rulers and ministers of the Southern Dynasties would inevitably be suspicious. Seeing this fake edict, they would do some bad stupid things. At that time, Zheng Lang was discouraged and had to surrender to the Khitan.

The May period is not long, so other accidents cannot be allowed to happen. However, with the large group of people, we arrived at Changchunzhou, deep in the Khitan. Liao Xingzong was not so vigilant. Let's escape, where can we escape?

After a while, the fish slug came. At this time, the ice layer was very thick, so I set up a tent on the lake. It was late and I would officially hook the fish after accepting the visits of the Jurchen chiefs tomorrow.

Xiao Nojin brought Xiao Guanyin to the tent.

Looking at Zheng Lang's sick look, Xiao Nojin said dissatisfiedly: "Zheng Qing. Is this your bravery?"

Zheng Lang wanted to roll his eyes, but forced himself to endure it and got up to pay his respects.

"You lie down, I ask you, how old you are this year, and you will grow and get weaker in the next year."

"Qi Bing, a man is between thirty and fifty. It is the time when his body is strongest. Only after he is fifty can his body be called weaker and weaker."

"How old is she when you were fifty?" Xiao Nojin patted Xiao Guanyin.

"Empress Dowager, can you let Xiao Madam avoid it?" Zheng Lang was speechless.

"Why should we avoid it? We Khitan women are not you Central Plains women, so we don't need to be silly."

“…”

"Xiao Guanyin is too young and is not suitable for you. If you have the will, I will choose a good woman for you."

Zheng Lang was sweating and thought to himself, what good woman can you pick out?

"Don't worry, think about it. May give me an answer." Xiao Nojin said, wanting to pull Xiao Guanyin away.

Xiao Guanyin said in a coquettish voice: "Aunt, I want to learn calligraphy."

"Okay, then you can stay," Xiao Nojin did not force her to leave, and was conscious of Zheng Lang's decay. The old empress dowager was still very clear-headed and knew that Zheng Lang would not do anything worse than beasts.

Xiao Nojin left, and Xiao Guanyin stuck out his tongue at her back. This little girl was so sensual and had been pretending to be a little lady just now, and she knew she was afraid of this fierce aunt. Zheng Lang smiled and said, "You write, I'll sit by the side and watch."

"Mr. Zheng, can I ask you a question?"

"ask."

"You want to marry me?" Xiao Guanyin asked seriously.

Zheng Lang dripped a lot of sweat on his forehead and asked back for most of the day: "Who did you hear?"

"Everyone outside says that."

"No such thing, that was an agreement between me and your Khitan. He thought I could not return to the Song Dynasty, but I would definitely be able to return to the Song Dynasty. So I don't have a engagement with you, do you know? Xiao Guanyin is so beautiful, and she will definitely find a very capable husband in the future, not me. When you grow up, I will get old." Zheng Lang replied. He was not afraid that she would tell Xiao Hui that who would not know if she wanted to return to the Song Dynasty? He had no confidence in returning to the Song Dynasty. Who believed it? It doesn't matter if he said it.

"Is that fake?"

“It’s fake.”

"Oh, I'm writing," she was still young and didn't understand, so she started grinding ink and writing.

Guo Kui came over and shook his head. If it weren't for the crazy empress dowager, why would he have to do this? Asked: "Mr. Zheng, are you in good health?"

"It's much better than yesterday. It seems that eating more meat will make you stronger and it's not easy to get sick." Zheng Lang whispered: "But no hurry. When you wake up tomorrow, you can only look at hook fish. They won't come so soon. It's also very troublesome to come. The road is blocked by ice and snow. I don't know if there are ice cubes along the coast."

"My heart is hanging."

"Don't worry. I'm thinking about another thing."

"What's up?"

"If people are encouraged to raise pigs, and the price of pork is plausible, and there are many people who eat meat, will we Song people be stronger?"

This is of great significance. In terms of military discipline and fighting spirit, it is not the Tubo people, the Khitans and the Dangxiang people, but the Song people. What is weak is the physical fitness, the civil servants who are randomly commanding and peacefully caused by the imperial guards, lack of cavalry. If these four shortcomings are corrected, coupled with the huge number of troops of the Song Dynasty, it will be powerful.

“The pork tastes too strong…”

"This may be solved." After castrating the pig's things, the pork will not be savory. In fact, most of the pork in later generations was raised in captivity, and it also had a savory smell. There was very little pork dispersed with light savory smell. In fact, northerners are used to eating beef and mutton, and are not used to eating pork. Zheng Lang saw many people eating pork in the south, but Cui Xian refused to let him eat it, but after eating it a few times, he did not see much food. These are all small questions, and it is still a key point to whether he can go back.

Liu Feier served tea and said, "General Guo, please use tea."

"Thank you, Miss Liu," Guo Kui took the teacup and looked at the pretty little girl. She stood by her side. She stood here. It was hard for the two of them to do business anymore. Guo Kui said, "It's so cold. I didn't expect that February would come, and it's still so cold here."

"It's colder to the north. By the way, Zhongtong, I informed the soldiers that there are few people here, with large mountains and deep forests, and often there is no family that can be seen dozens of miles away. You must not walk around casually. If you get lost, you may never come back."

"Yes, General Guo, Mr. Zheng is right. Not only will he get lost, but he is better in the tent. Not in the tent, it is very cold at night. As long as he gets lost and cannot come back at night, he can freeze to death."

"Okay, I'll inform my subordinates now."

Guo Kui walked out, and Liu Feier asked softly: "Mr. Zheng, can you be safe?"

He was sick twice in a row, but the four maids saw the strange temper of this Song Dynasty minister. Once he fell ill, he was afraid that people would see his weak appearance, except for a few personal guards around him, he often refused to visit him, and the doctor often refused to see him. He did not receive the foreign guests until his health gradually recovered.

A few sisters muttered in private that this was called "devoting face to suffer." But at other times, they were a humble gentleman with a gentle temper and spoke very politely. They just didn't let them sleep with them, which also disappointed them.

Zheng Lang said: "I've gotten much better, I'll get out of bed tomorrow."

"That's great. You can see our Khitan hook fish tomorrow. The scene is spectacular."

"Oh," Zheng Lang said lightly, but a cold arose in his heart. When did you become our Khitan? The word "we" made him think of the Sixteen Prefectures in Youyun, which is not easy to recover.

After thinking about it for a while, he taught Xiao Guanyin for a while. Liao Xingzong broke in from outside and looked at Zheng Lang and asked, "Zheng Qing, are you healthy?"

He also had a headache for Zheng Lang's body. Could it be that when it gets cold in the future, he will only be allowed to stay indoors in Youzhou?

"Great today, thank your Majesty for your concern."

"Zheng Qing, you have to wear more clothes on your daily basis. This is not possible. After I fishing, I am still preparing to be like black water."

"When will it be like a black water?" Zheng Lang asked lightly, but he felt like he heard a thunder in his heart.

If Liao Xingzong really plans to be like black water, the trouble will be great.

"It's about ten days." Liao Xingzong said. He didn't expect any impact on Zheng Lang, and he answered casually.

However, Guo Kui, who was just about to enter the quotation, was also stunned when he heard this.
