Chapter 66
"See Shouhe Shengfu. Shouhe Shengfu summoned Yan'er, I wonder what's wrong?" Queen Quan bowed to Xie Daoqing. Today she wore a light green shirt, tied a palace bun, and put on a little pink. She was noble in temperament and didn't dare to look at her. She was full of charm. She looked like a picture of a jade beauty, so she could see the ultimate.
"Yan'er, it's free, it's free. You're here just in time, accompany your mother for a walk." Xie Daoqing looked at the empress who was walking in slowly as if a long time had left to see her relatives. She was very happy and said, "There are no other major events. My aunt has been in the palace for too long and her body is not very good. She just wanted to go out for a walk, relax and see the scenery of Lin'an. Yan'er, these were all defeated by the emperor. If it weren't for the emperor, Lin'an would have been gone long ago. If the aunt didn't go and see, she wouldn't be able to let go of anything." As soon as she met, she would have been nagging.
Queen Quan never expected that Xie Daoqingfeng summoned her to come quickly for this matter, thinking that she was also very surprised to be able to torture people, and said, "Shouhe Shengfu, Lin'an is still like that, and there is no change."
Xie Daoqing interrupted her and said, "No, no, no, Yan'er, Lin'an has changed a lot. Lin'an is no longer the Lin'an in the past. Lin'an was so angry that he was not angry. He looked like a person who was dying of illness. Lin'an is now energetic and energetic, like a young man. Although my aunt has not left the palace for a long time, she knows this change. Yan'er, you have to learn to feel it, and aunt feels it."
Who said Xie Daoqing was confused? Isn’t this quite sensible? Lin'an is very different from before. The officials and officials in Lin'an used to be rampant and illegal. The Beijing officials had no choice but to turn a blind eye and let them bully the people. Li Jun was not ruthless to these officials and ordered Wen Tianxiang not to be polite to them, and to close them as soon as they should be killed, and to close them as they should be exiled. After the rectification, the officials no longer dared to test the law.
This is not the biggest change in Lin'an. In the past, Lin'an was always worried about attacking the Mongols, but now he has repelled the Mongols and achieved an unprecedented victory. Under Li Jun's arrangement, the people have long regained their confidence and are no longer afraid of the Mongols coming. The army is full of morale, the people are proud and confident. This is a scene that has never been seen in the Song Dynasty since the founding of Taizu.
This change is as some people say, a vibrant emperor, all around him are full of vitality, like the rising sun. An emperor who has no achievements, all around him are lifeless and have no ambition, and even walks without a path, and it is called "Talking and Resolute".
Xie Daoqing did not leave the palace, and the people around her were no longer trembling and fearful, and they always worried that the Mongolians would call him, and they felt that life was like the changes of the years. It was really not easy.
Queen Quan never expected that she would say such words, and she was really impressed. She hurriedly said, "Auntie, Yan'er remembered it." She helped Xie Daoqing and said, "Auntie, don't go out. Yan'er accompanied you to recite scriptures in the Buddhist temple, okay?" She wanted to give up Xie Daoqing's idea of leaving the palace. Xie Daoqing is old and has a bad body. When she goes out for a walk, she knows what she will do with her personality with an idea in a while. If it is not only a walk, the problem will be big.
Xie Daoqing slapped his forehead and said, "Yan'er, you reminded me that my aunt once made a wish in front of the Buddha's journey and wanted to go to Qixia Temple to fulfill her wish. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten it. Yan'er, go and accompany my aunt to fulfill her wish."
Qixia Temple is located in Qixia Mountain, and it is even further away. Xie Daoqing actually has to go there, which is much more serious than going to see Lin'an. Queen Quan wanted to slap her two mouths and hurriedly advised: "Shouhe Shengfu, don't go, let Yan'er go to fulfill his wish on your behalf. Sincerity will make you feel good. Yan'er will convert to my Buddha with all his heart and soul. The Buddha will not blame him."
"It's good, but it's better for aunt to go by yourself." Xie Daoqing looked pious and stopped Queen Quan who was trying to persuade him, "Yan'er, don't say anything more. If you are worried, go with your aunt." Queen Quan was not allowed to say anything, and said, "Come on, prepare, let's go. Prepare the incense, candles, paper money, and you must not lose it."
Queen Quan knew Xie Daoqingji and knew that once she decided that even ten cows would not be able to pull them back, she had to say, "Auntie, Yan'er will accompany you. Yan'er also wants to learn more Buddhism with her aunt."
The last sentence was said to make Xie Daoqing happy. Xie Daoqing heard it and still liked it very much, saying, "Well, okay, okay, aunt will definitely tell you more."
"Thank you Shou and Sheng Fu!" Empress Quan was not interested in studying Buddhism and had to thank her for her.
When talking about Qixia Mountain in Hangzhou, the first thing people think of is Yue Fei’s tomb. After the famous anti-Jin general Yue Fei was killed, the prison guard Wei Shun secretly smuggled his body out and buried it in the Jiuqucong Temple in Beishan. After Emperor Xiaozong of Song ascended the throne, he changed his burial with courtesy and built the Yuewang Temple.
There is also a temple hidden among the ancient cypresses, which is Qixia Temple, which is the place where Master Mingxia practices.
Xie Daoqing and Empress Quan brought a group of guards and palace maids to Qixia Temple. The Empress Dowager and the Empress arrived at the same time. Although they didn't want to make a statement, there were still a lot of guards and palace maids. Master Xiaoxia, the host monk, was naturally very busy and arranged in a row, asking the monks to line up to welcome Xie Daoqing's big way.
Xie Daoqing is a devout Buddhist disciple, who is frugal by nature. Li Jun commented on her that if she had not married into the imperial family, but into the ordinary people's home, she would have been a virtuous wife who was thrifty and frugal. Unfortunately, she married into the imperial family. In the troubled times, she intervened in state affairs that she was not competent in at all. She couldn't do anything to be confused. Xie Daoqing got out of the sedan chair under the support of Empress Quan and waved her hand and said, "Master Xiaoxia, tell them to part with you. The old woman is a Buddhist disciple today, not a queen mother, and she is exempt from all etiquette."
Master Xiaoxia knew that she was a devout Buddhist disciple, but she didn't expect that her heart was so pious that she said: "Abide by the order." She immediately asked the monks to retreat.
With the help of Queen Quan, Xie Daoqing walked towards the Main Hall with a crutch and said to Master Xiaoxia who was following him: "Master, go too. The old woman wants to be quiet and quiet, and make her wishes to the Buddha well, so she won't work for the master."
There is a saying that "accompanies the king as if he is with a tiger", which means that the emperor is moody, and if one is not done properly, a disaster will come. In fact, no one in the palace is a tiger, and if the other is not done properly, it will get angry. Master Mingxia knows the power of it well, and is happy when she hears her words, and bows to her, "I say goodbye." He retreats.
Xie Daoqing stood at the door of the Main Hall and said, "You are all waiting here. Yan'er, let's go in." He entered the Main Hall amid the promises of the guards and palace maids.
There is a statue of the Buddha who paints gold in the main hall. This statue was originally a clay sculpture. Since Xie Daoqing converted, he has been donating gold and silver to Qixia Temple. He suddenly became interested and asked to paint gold in the Buddha statue. Xie Daoqing was reluctant to eat or wear it. He was very economical. The most economical thing was the rewards to the soldiers. They were always inverted in black and white, and were not distinguished in right or wrong. Only he was always generous to the clay Buddha. Such actions were luxurious enough. She was in power and had no choice but to let her go.
Fortunately, it was just gold drawing, and it was not entirely recasting the gold body with gold, which was considered restrained enough.
Looking at her proud work, Xie Daoqing suddenly turned red and said excitedly: "Yan'er, do you still remember? This is the golden body donated to the Buddha a few years ago. The Buddha must be happy. I want to kowtow to the Buddha." She was the one who said that she could do it. Before the Queen could speak, she knelt on the cushion and said with her hands: "The Buddha is above, and my disciple Xie Daoqing kowtowed you." Holding her hands on the cushion represents a 120,000-pious head and kowtowed respectfully.
The Qixia Temple, hidden by pine and cypress, was particularly quiet, and Queen Quan exclaimed, "Longevity and Holy Blessing!" and broke the tranquility of the ancient temple.
"Come on, come on, come on, add a little more." Li Jun looked at the captain of the guard who served him a meal and said a little dissatisfied: "You are so stingy, this is not your family, you need to save money."
Jie Jin saw Li Jun's face full of words. Although he was a little full of words, he was actually quite happy. He boldly said, "Master, are you really happy today?"
"What are you talking about? It's not a sin to be happy!" Li Jun looked at Jie Jin and smiled. After taking the rice bowl, he picked up the dishes and swallowed them in big mouthfuls, as if the rice was supreme delicacy.
Jie Jin held back his laughter and said, "Your Majesty, I don't mean that. I mean, what the emperor is so happy about? Is there any good news?"
Li Jun put down his rice bowl and said, "It's okay if you don't mention it. If you mention it, I have to eat more and serve the rice." He pointed to the rice bowl that he had cut a few times for him and said, "Come here, add it."
Jie Jin could no longer hold it back, and burst out laughing and said, "Your Majesty, it's not too late to add more after you finish your meal. The meal is here, and no one robs you of the emperor."
Li Jun is easy-going and polite. After Xie Jin, the captain of the guard, was with him for a long time, he naturally became familiar with his personality and then started to make a joke.
"That's right." Li Jun picked up his job and took a whisper, "Tell you why I am so happy. Actually, you should know. Xiangfu, Zhang Shijie, Zhang Jue and others came from Huaixi and Huaidong and Sichuan, bringing so many elite troops. I suddenly added hundreds of thousands of elite reserve forces. Do you think Guo Kan can live a good life?"
It turned out that it was for this matter. Jie Jin suddenly realized it and said happily: "Your Majesty, you are happy about this matter. It's true, this matter is really happy. As soon as I close my eyes, I will think that if Guo Kan's war horse was seized and our cavalry unit was expanded, then I will not be the captain of the guards, and ask the emperor for a mission to take the cavalry to kill the Tartars."
Li Jun was very happy and intended to test him, saying, "You said, if I asked you to lead the cavalry, how would you fight?"
Xie Jin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have never done this in the leadership of the army. I really can't say it. However, I think that the best cavalry in Chinese history is the General of Cavalry. Especially when he opened the Hexi Corridor, the war minister felt that it was a classic battle example. He went on two expeditions, with only 30,000 elite cavalry, and defeated the 240,000 Huns' army in the Hexi Corridor. That was a miracle. If we had many cavalry, we could use it in a concentrated manner and give full play to the cavalry's fast mobility and strong attack power. We could conduct large-scale interspersion, detour, and long-distance raids, just like the general raiding thousands of miles to destroy the command of the Xiongnu's Right King."
He paused and then said, "I think that if you conduct large-scale interlude, detour, and long-distance raids in the Central Plains, get rid of the main force of the Tartars and specifically find the weaknesses and key points of the Tartars, you will have twice the result with half the effort. Master, what's wrong with you? Did you say it wrong?"
Li Jun is really funny now. He holds a rice bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, stuffs a mouthful of rice into his mouth, and looks straight at Jie Jin, but he doesn't even know how to turn his eyes. If he weren't venting his anger, he would have thought it was a statue.
After a while, Li Jun put his job heavily, slapped his forehead and said, "I didn't notice that there is a natural cavalry commander beside me. He actually asked you to be the captain of the guard. I'm really wronged. I tell you, don't be the captain of the guard. Go to Gundam immediately and lead the cavalry. Get familiar with it first. When the new cavalry is formed, I will command you."
Jie Jin never expected that Li Jun would do what he said, so he was really hard to believe. He was stunned for a long time before saying, "Master, is this true?"
"Look, do I seem to be talking and playing?" Li Jun asked back.
Jie Jin suddenly felt energetic and said, "Emperor, I will report now." He slapped his forehead and said, "Emperor, if I leave, who will protect the emperor?"
"Isn't Duan Ganmu still there?" Li Jun smiled and said, "But you just analyzed it with General Cavalry. Remember it for me, you want to fight the majesty of General Cavalry. Otherwise, I won't forgive you."
Jie Jin stood upright and said, "Prince, please rest assured. I will definitely fight well, and I will never be worse than General Cavalry."
Jie Jin used the example of Huo Qubing, a famous Western Han general, to go to the Hexi Corridor twice to make an example. It can be said that it hit the nail on the head. When Huo Qubing was expeditioning the Hexi Corridor, he brought less than 30,000 cavalry twice, but he created a miracle that defeated the 240,000 Huns troops in the Hexi Corridor and cut off the right arm of the Huns. In this battle, Huo Qubing had no logistics, no supplies, and seemed to sweep westward in the Hexi Corridor. It can be said that this is a classic example of using cavalry in Chinese history and the highest level in Chinese history that fully utilized the advantages of cavalry.
His words, Li Jun, a history professor who had experience as a general, did not expect that Li Jun would not be surprised, so he naturally looked stupid.
Jie Jin, a general who was particularly good at using cavalry, was discovered by Li Jun on the dinner table, so he had a nickname "General Fan". The Song Dynasty cavalry under his command seemed to be rushing. Today, here and tomorrow, there are always people who can't find it. Wherever he attacks, it is always people who can imagine it. Even the resourceful Liao Shenggong is unimaginable because he can make the most correct judgment based on the battlefield situation.
This is very similar to Huo Qubing, so he has another nickname called "Little Cavalry".
"Your Majesty, that's the minister." Jie Jin was very happy and gave Li Jun a courtesy, and left with Li Jun's permission. Li Jun watched his back disappear before he picked up his bowl and said, "I have to eat two more bowls." He found a cavalry commander who was good at fighting. It was hard to be happy if he didn't want anyone to be happy.
Unfortunately, Li Jun's good appetite did not last long and disturbed people. Jie Jin led an eunuch in and said, "Eunuch Prince, Eunuch Shan is asking for a meeting."
Shan Fu is a person around Queen Quan. He rarely leaves the palace, but he suddenly appears here. There must be something important. Li Jun hurriedly put his job and asked, "Shan Fu, what's wrong with you?"
"See the Emperor." Shan Fu bowed to Li Jun and said, "I am sending things according to the Queen's order."
Li Jun felt a headache when he thought of Empress Quan. Shan Fu didn't say anything like asking for orders, but said he was giving something. Li Jun thought not to give anything like a red-headed rope, which was a headache. Before he could finish his thoughts, Shan Fu had already taken out a small box with a beautiful bead flower and held it in front of his forehead.
In this situation, Li Jun had to look at it, took it with his teeth and opened the box. There was a wax ball inside the box, sealed it with hot paint, removed the hot paint, crushed the wax balls, and took out the ball of paper inside, looking nervously.
Jie Jin knew about Zhao Qi, a romantic emperor, who liked to have some romantic things with his concubines. He thought that it must be because Empress Quan thought of Li Jun and pretended to be mysterious. She asked Shan Fu to give him something romantic things, and she laughed in her heart. As Jie Jin was laughing, he heard the sound of pingping pingping and pinging. It turned out that Li Jun stood up suddenly and lifted the table down. The bowls and plates on the table fell all over the floor, and Li Jun's body was covered with oil.
Looking at Li Jun again, his face was pale and his pale only stayed on his face for a moment. If Jie Jin had not had good eyesight, he would definitely not have noticed it. Li Jun would not care about the oil and water on his body at all and asked anxiously: "What else did the queen say?"
Li Jun was so anxious that he had never been in Jie Jin's memory. He had never been so pale. Even if hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops were coming to Lin'an, he was calm and composed. Jie Jin looked at Li Jun in confusion.
"Go back to the emperor, the queen said nothing except asking me to deliver things." Shan Fu replied in confusion.
Li Jun immediately asked, "Is there anything abnormal in Lin'an?"
"Return to the emperor, the queen asks me to tell the emperor that everything is normal in Lin'an." Shan Fu answered immediately.
Li Jun thought for a while and said, "You guys go out first. I'll tell you to come again."
After Jie Jin and Shan Fu left, Li Jun hurriedly picked up the pen and wrote it. After writing, folding it, seal it with fire paint, put it in a box. Summon Shan Fu in and said, "You should hurry back to Lin'an immediately and hand it over to the queen. Remember, don't mention this to anyone, otherwise be careful of your nine tribes."
