Mrs. Chen said to Yan Rong: "Let's go to Xiangguo Temple to get incense together, and let the Buddha bless you to pass the Pavilion Examination as soon as possible."

Yan Rong was close to Zhu, and Mo, who was close to Mo, who was close to Zheng Lang for a long time and did not believe in the Buddha very much, but his wife liked him, so she had to follow him. The two of them came to Xiangguo Temple together.

There are still rubbings of Zheng Lang's calligraphy in Xiangguo Temple, but after several years, it was not inscriptions. Many people copied it, and gradually smoothed it down, and many of the handwriting was not clear. The two of them were on the incense all the way, and suddenly audible came: "The Imperial Concubine came to incense, please avoid it quickly."

Concubine Miao brought her daughter to Xiangguo Temple to incense.

Fu Bi has not brought back the news yet, and Concubine Miao is still living like a year in the palace.

I'm afraid that the Khitans really valued her daughter.

The people hurriedly avoided.

Yan Rong and the young lady of the Chen family did not retreat much. They stood not far away and watched Concubine Miao walk into Xiangguo Temple with her guards and eunuchs.

Concubine Miao is not old, she is only in her early twenties and looks very beautiful and charming.

But another more beautiful man was added to the palace, Zhang.

Zheng Lang secretly ranked the famous ladies of this era. In the future, Yuan Hao and his son, the one from the little prince of the Khitan, and the Zhang family in the palace, are the three most beautiful beauties of this era. They may not be the most beautiful, but they are the most famous.

Concubine Miao is not bad either. Her daughter is still young. It can be seen that she is a pretty little beauty. She jumps mischievously from time to time following her mother.

The people who saw it were a little ashamed. In order to protect the Song Dynasty, the officials actually used their only biological daughter as bargaining chips to negotiate with the Khitans. When they thought of this, they could not complain to the court.

After Concubine Miao entered the incense, she glanced at her eyes. Yan Rong's fat body stood in the crowd and waved her hands. Yan Rong walked over and Concubine Miao asked, "Are you a student of Zheng Xingzhi?"

"See the Imperial Concubine, see the Princess. It is the subject."

"Will your gentleman protect the princess?"

"Please rest assured to you..." Yan Rong didn't know how to answer.

"Who is his sir?" the little princess raised her head and said in a slight voice.

"It's your guardian knight," Concubine Miao said with a smile on her face.

"What is guardianship?"

"He will protect your happiness."

Yan Rong was a little ashamed. If the Khitans insisted on asking for the little princess, would the teacher fight with the civil and military officials in the court? He dared not answer.

Concubine Miao looked at his face, felt extremely disappointed, and hurried back to the palace.

It soon reached Zhao Zhen's ears. Zhao Zhen angrily passed the Miao family in and asked, "You just go to Xiangguo Temple to eat incense. What are you saying to protect in front of so many people?"

"The official family, are you the ones who are the emperor like this?" Concubine Miao said sadly.

Wang Deyong was impeached by civil officials and was scared. He chose two beautiful girls from the public and sent them to the palace.

Zhao Zhen, who came from the people and was very popular, liked it very much. After Wang Dan's son Wang Su learned about it, he advised Zhao Zhen not to get close to women. Zhao Zhen knew what he wanted to say, so he said, "Wang Deyong has indeed presented beautiful women to me, right in the palace. I like it very much, so let me stay."

He was afraid that the minister would be afraid and would make his harem uneasy. Sure enough, Wang Su refused to give in and said, "I am giving advice today. I am afraid that Your Majesty will be confused by the beauty of a woman."

Zhao Zhen showed dismay and said, "The women Wang Deyong sent each of them to give 300 stagnants of money to let them leave the palace as soon as possible."

While talking, I burst into tears, and I really couldn't bear it.

Influenced by his father, Wang Su was gentle. Seeing Zhao Zhen like this, he softened his heart and said, "Your Majesty thinks that my report is right. There is no need to rush to handle it. Since the woman has entered the palace, it is better to send them away after a while."

Zhao Zhen said: "Although I am an emperor, I am just like a commoner. I am afraid that I will stay for a long time. Because of the deep love, I can't bear to send them away."

Han Qi advised to reduce the number of palace maids and attendants. Zhao Zhen brought the memorial back to the bedroom. Because of the head, he took off his hat and crown before taking off his imperial robe and called the eunuch in to comb his hair. It was a trusted eunuch who asked casually what memorial His Majesty received. Zhao Zhen said. The eunuch said that there were still singular dancers in the minister's family. Once promoted, he would continue to be added. His Majesty did not have many attendants, but they suggested reducing them. Isn't it too much?

It seems to be right. When Han Qi raised most prostitutes in his family, he had raised nearly a hundred prostitutes.

Zhao Zhen then replied, "Of course I must adopt the censor's suggestion."

The eunuch said, if Your Majesty adopts it, please refer to slaves as the first person.

It was not to bewitch Zhao Zhen, but to stand up for Zhao Zhen. You are the emperor, so aggrieved that you stay up late and dare not drink soup. You usually wear thick robes. What else do these ministers want? However, it was sad. Zhao Zhen called the eunuch in charge and checked according to the list to cut the twenty-nine palace servants and eunuchs with hair combs out of the palace. Empress Cao asked, the eunuchs who combed their hair were his Majesty’s confidant for many years, not an extra person, so why did he cut him down. Zhao Zhen said, he advised me to refuse the censor’s loyal advice, how could I keep such a person by my side?

It is precisely because of all these things that Concubine Miao was worried about her daughter, but she did not dare to make a big fuss.

Zhao Zhen touched her hair and said, "Concubine Miao, you are my concubine, and the princess is my daughter, but I am not only my daughter's father, but also my father in the world of the Song Dynasty. What do you ask me to do?"

The proposition was too big, Concubine Miao was only in her early twenties, so she didn't dare to tell what she was, so she could only cry in a low voice.

But Zhao Zhen was also sad and did not blame Miao again and asked her to go back.

...

Fu Bi should not be wronged. First, he will be wronged, and in the future, he will see how worthwhile this grievance is.

Concubine Miao should not worry. The Khitans may not be very interested in her daughter. The reason why Zheng Lang said to protect the knight was not purely against marriage, but also for Princess Fukang's future. He was not afraid of opposition from the ministers, but he really wanted to be the godfather of this little witch.

Let Zhao Zhen get some comfort and happiness...

The autumn wind is tight.

Jingyuan Road received good news one after another.

First, Fan Zhongyan agreed, and the military was inconsistent with Zheng Lang's ideas, but Fan Zhongyan was not a surrender faction and went to fight in the Song Dynasty, so he agreed immediately. However, his troops did not move for the time being, so he stayed for other purposes.

Not to mention Han Qi.

As for the rules of the court, go to hell.

According to Zheng Lang's instructions, he secretly brought five thousand cavalry and joined the Jingwei Road army in advance. He still had troops available, but for other purposes.

Han Qi himself came to Weizhou again.

There is a big battle again soon, how can I be missing?

When Zheng Lang saw Han Qi coming in a hurry, his mouth twitched and said, "Brother Zhigui. You can get as much spoils as you can after the war, and the plan is ready now..."

If you want military achievements, I can give in to the spoils, but don’t interfere. I’m afraid of you.

"What are you saying? I know what you want to know, don't I know the importance of it?"

"Drink tea, drink tea," Zheng Lang almost choked.

"when?"

"The scout came to report that it was Tiandu Mountain that began to gather troops."

"I used to despise the scout."

"I spent more than 90,000 stakes of money and silk for the scouts. Some of the money and silk are used inexplicably. If it weren't for victory, the minister would have impeached me. Brother Zhigui. You were also in trouble at that time," said Zheng Lang.

I am afraid that Han Qi will forcefully intervene, so I will say good things. It’s not your fault. In fact, the incomparable contempt in my heart is not just a contempt for the scout. At that time, Di Qing was under your account. You didn’t even value such a brave general. Isn’t this a mistake?

It’s not that he belittled Ren Fu, but Ren Fu is very brave. He sacrificed heroically. That sentence is the general, defeated, and serves the country with death! It has inspired many soldiers. However, the command ability is much worse than Di Qing. If Di Qing led his troops, would he be defeated?

Ren Fu's attack on Baibao City was proven, and Di Qing was even more proven that he had fought more than 100 battles in the northwest, but no one was defeated. The great victory in the Security Army was far better than the battle in Baibao City.

Han Qi didn't know what Zheng Lang was thinking. He thought Zheng Lang was very proud of his face and laughed. He asked: "Where is the battle?"

"Dingchuanzhai!"

It turned out to be a village, which allowed Zheng Lang to expand slightly, and now it has become a village.

“Why?”

"The river in front of Dingchuan Village is full of tincture and cannot be consumed. If there is water behind it, it is easy to block it. However, due to the terrain, it is necessary to build a village here. This has become the only place with loopholes in the front line villages."

Han Qi became interested and took the map to look at it, saying, "Yuan Hao may not be fooled."

"Look, it's really not possible, let's make arrangements." Zheng Lang couldn't say that I would arrange a son to let Ge Huaimin lead his army to stay in Dibei City and use a plan to lure the enemy. He should not have the intention to harm others, and he should be guarded against others. Han Qi knew that he would be very sad when he used this as a handle in the future.

And I vaguely feel that in the future, I will have negotiations with Han Qi, Pang Ji and others.

Jiang Xing'er brewed another cup of tea. Her face was not very good-looking, and Han Qi came over to grab the credit again.

Han Qi unconsciously, the generals did not take it seriously. How could a concubine take it in his eyes? He took a sip of tea and said, "Xing'er, your tea-making skills have improved again."

Xing'er didn't answer.

Han Qi didn't care and asked: "When will I go to Dingchuan Village?"

"I'm going to Zhenrong Village for the time being, but this trip requires secret action so that Yuan Hao underestimates the enemy."

"I know, so I come here casually."

As for whether anyone in the court will impeach, Han Qi doesn't care.

"I'm still waiting, waiting for the three thousand cavalrymen to come."

"A blind soldier?"

"When Yuanhao attacks, he will inevitably gather about 100,000 troops. Although there are more than 60,000 troops on our Jingyuan Road, each village and town must send troops to garrison, and the troops must be divided into some of them, which is seriously insufficient. Therefore, I asked Brother Zhigui and Brother Xiwen to help, and Brother Xiwen's troops could not be issued for the time being, so I found a blind felt, not only to protect his strength, but this person was finally a Tubo native and had a period of time with Yuan Hao. He was hesitant, so I used an excuse to transfer his three thousand soldiers to join forces to fight with Xixia, and completely cut off his various ideas."

"Why can't Brother Xiwen's army reach Jingyuan Road?" Han Qi asked in confusion. But when the word Xiwen was mentioned, a trace of disdain flashed in Han Qi's eyes, and it disappeared in an instant, and it was still for Zheng Lang to see it. Zheng Lang sighed, "Han Qi hated Fan Zhongyan for the defeat of Shuichuan."

"Look at the map again."

Han Qi lay on the map and watched.

"Brother Zhigui, when the enemy comes, they must be all cavalry. Even if there are infantry, they are also baggage soldiers. Staying in the rear, you can drive straight in and retreat calmly if you lose. Although we train some cavalry on Jingyuan Road, as well as your subordinates, the number of cavalry is not as good as the other party. In addition to the strict military discipline, cavalry and horse shooting skills may not be as good as the other party. The battle of the city wall is my chief of Song, so you have to be careful. Then look at the map again."

"I understand, where are you trying to give the great contribution to Xiwen?"

"It's the same for you and me. Brother Xiwen. We are all ministers of the Song Dynasty. Why should we divide the country so clearly? If you are on Huanqing Road and have the advantage of the geographical advantage, I will give you the opportunity."
