Monument Yangmen

Chapter 674 Bewitched?

It took seven days for the old lady of the Zhe family to enter the funeral. The old man chose to be buried with her late husband. The mausoleum was built a long time ago. When the day came, the old lady was carried in after being dug up and buried with the old Zhe family Taishan.

These seven days can be regarded as the darkest seven days after Yang Qi arrived in the Song Dynasty.

Before She Saihua had time to practice filial piety, her old mother passed away, which made She Saihua very sad. She washed her face with tears almost every day, and passed out several times.

In later generations, Yang Qi had seen many such scenes. He always felt that when the old man was alive, the children didn't show filial piety and accompany them well, and they cried to death after the old man died, which seemed very contrived and fake.

But when this kind of thing really happened to him, he felt that this crying was not artificial or fake at all.

People always don't pay attention to family affection when they hold it in their hands. Maybe it's because the time is too long, people always ignore it subconsciously.

But when it is really lost, people will understand what they have lost.

Yang Qi couldn't comfort She Saihua's grief because he was also in grief himself.

Lao Yang has never been a person who is very good at comforting others, so his She Saihua is also the same.

Fortunately, Cao Lin came in time and took over the task of comforting She Saihua, otherwise Yang Qi really didn't know what to do.

Today is Heling's day.

is a big day.

The descendants of the Zhe family and the descendants of the Yang family knelt down in front of the mausoleum.

The angel of the imperial court announced Zhao Guangyi's imperial edict to seal the Zhejia old lady.

Even though the Zhe family is now dominant in the northwest, it still belongs to the Song Dynasty in name.

The old lady of the Zhe family also bears the title of Mrs. Gao Ming.

'Yide! '

These two characters are the posthumous titles given by Zhao Guangyi to the Zhejia old lady.

These two specifications are directly catching up with the posthumous title of the queen mother, which makes people feel a little overwhelmed.

Zhe Yuxun and Yang Qi, two Northwest bosses, couldn't figure out when Zhao Guangyi became so generous.

If you don't understand it, if you don't understand it, since the imperial court has given such a lofty posthumous title, then they have no reason to refuse it.

After kowtowing to thank you.

The broken dragon stone at the entrance of the mausoleum fell inch by inch.

The hoarse crying sounded again.

But no one could stop the Dragon Breaking Stone that fell inch by inch.

Once the Dragon-Breaking Stone falls, there is basically no possibility of opening it.

This marks that from now on, Yin and Yang are really separated.

After the old lady of the Zhe family was buried, everyone returned to Zhe's mansion with an empty heart.

After the funeral, it's time to say goodbye.

A sumptuous banquet is a parting gift for all the guests.

After everyone drinks too much, it is inevitable that they will be a little bit unrestrained.

Loud shouts, fist punches, and the laughter of amused children dilute the deep sadness.

Zhe Yuxun ordered Zhe Yuqing to greet the guests, he invited Yang Qi alone, and the two gathered in the study for a secret talk.

There are not only chairs, benches and desks in Zhe Yuxun's study room, but also a large heated kang.

Zhe Yuxun sat cross-legged on the heated kang, on which was a small table with two appetizers and a jug of wine.

After Yang Qi entered the door, Zhe Yuxun rubbed his face to get rid of the fatigue on his face, and greeted Yang Qi to go to the kang.

"Come here quickly and have a good chat with my uncle."

It seems that Zhe Yuxun has remembered the reminder from the old lady of the Zhe family, and Zhe Yuxun has gotten a lot closer to Yang Qi's self-proclaimed.

Yang Qi was not polite either, he took off his boots and got on the kang.

It is impossible to burn a kang in summer.

There is a mat on the kang, and it is cool and comfortable to sit on.

Zhe Yuxun wanted to pour wine for Yang Qi, but Yang Qi snatched the jug, "There is no reason for an uncle to pour wine for a nephew..."

Complaining slightly intimately, Yang Qi poured wine for Zhe Yuxun, and also poured himself a glass.

The wine is aged Huadiao, and the liquor is amber in color, also like the color of brewed black tea.

The aroma of the wine is overflowing, and you can tell it is a good wine as soon as you smell it.

Zhe Yuxun saw the movement of Yang Qi sniffing his nose, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he raised his wine glass, "Taste the flower carvings that have been treasured for more than 50 years..."

When the voice fell to the ground, Zhe Yuxun drank it down in one gulp.

Yang Qiqian took a sip, his eyes lit up, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

The wine is definitely a good wine, drink it in one sip, and the fragrance will stay on your teeth and cheeks.

Zhe Yuxun smiled and motioned Yang Qi to pour him another glass, raised the glass, and said with emotion: "When your grandmother gave birth to your mother, I didn't know that the maids in the house said that when the daughter was born, the southerners , will bury a jar of wine, and drink it out when the daughter is married.

Your grandmother forced your grandfather to buy two large carts of Huadiao wine and buried them in the backyard.Prepare to wait for your mother to get married, and take it out to a big banquet for guests.

When your mother and your father got married, it was a time of war, and in a hurry, they forgot to bring out the wine.

This wine is stored for decades.

When it was dug up a few days ago, it turned into lumps of wine paste. It tastes really good when paired with new wine. "

Yang Qi was dumbfounded when he heard some old things.

Yang Qi felt that what Zhe Yuxun said was a little incomplete.

The old lady of the Zhe family buried the wine back then, probably on a whim, and then forgot.

Others probably forgot too.

After all, in the Song Dynasty, the transportation was inconvenient, and it was very common for each place to have different customs and one language.

Fuzhou is thousands of miles away from the south, and the custom of traveling in the middle is even greater.

Occasionally, I want to learn the customs of the southerners, and then forget it after a long time. This is a very common thing.

There is some water in the old things, Yang Qi is too lazy to worry about it, the Huadiao wine that has been buried for more than 50 years is a rare thing, he needs to drink two more glasses.

It seems that I really want to drink the taste of 50 years from the wine.

Zhe Yuxun felt that the relationship was getting worse, and it was time to talk about business, so he pretended to ask casually: "Zhao Guangyi suddenly became so generous, what do you think about this matter?"

Yang Qi was stunned, and put down the wine glass in his hand.

He is not a fool, he quickly guessed that Zhe Yuxun must have a purpose for asking him to speak alone.

Faced with Zhe Yuxun's question, Yang Qi frowned and thought about it carefully, and said in a deep voice: "Being polite to others, one must ask for something."

Zhe Yuxun said with a subtle smile: "Then do you want to hear my uncle's opinion on this matter?"

Yang Qi was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Say it."

Zhe Yuxun took a sip of wine, ate two mouthfuls of food, and said in a low voice: "As you said, if you are courteous to others, you must ask for something. The posthumous title of 'Yide' is not enough even for an ordinary empress dowager." Not necessarily worthy.

Zhao Guangyi's sudden generosity must not be small.

If the old uncle's prediction is not bad, it must be related to the Northern Expedition to the Liao Kingdom. "

Yang Qi frowned, and said in amazement: "You mean...Zhao Guangyi is paving the way for the Northern Expedition to the Liao Kingdom, and when he really goes to war with the Liao Kingdom, will he let us join the war?"

Zhe Yuxun grinned and said, "That's for sure. Although Zheyang and Zheyang have become self-reliant now, they are still Song officials in essence. The Northern Expedition to the Liao Kingdom and the capture of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were plotted by the two brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi." decades of things.

Whether the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun can be restored will directly affect the foundation of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Guangyi's previous two Northern Expeditions all ended in failure.

This third Northern Expedition will naturally be a one-shot success.

If not, he would never even think about taking back Yanyun Sixteen States in his life.

You should understand the truth that there are no more than three things.

So Zhao Guangyi must remove all obstacles and gather all the forces that can be gathered. "

Zhe Yuxun pointed to Yang Qi, and then pointed to himself, "You and I are two big families in the northwest, with a total of 40 soldiers and horses under our command. If we are the vanguard, it is equivalent to giving Zhao Guangyi the Northern Expedition to the Liao Kingdom." Added a powerful arm.

Tell me, can Zhao Guangyi not use us? "

Yang Qi nodded silently.

Every sentence Zhe Yuxun said made sense, and his analysis was logical.

Even if Yang Qi encountered this situation, he would make the same choice as Zhao Guangyi.

Using other people's hands to help oneself build a career is a guaranteed profit.

It's just that Yang Qi was a little puzzled.

"Isn't this in line with Zhao Guangyi's character? With Zhao Guangyi's character, he will definitely stick to the policy of making peace with the outside world first."

Zhe Yuxun guessed: "My uncle thinks, this probably has something to do with Zhao Guangyi being in a coma for a month before."

Been in a coma for a month and suddenly became spiritual?

Has it been crossed?

Yang Qi secretly guessed.

After all, he is a time traveler.

The first time-traveling event happened to him, and he could understand others being time-traveled.

However, Yang Qi quickly rejected this idea.

If he is really a time traveler, when faced with the current situation, he will definitely be able to easily find out that Yang Qi is a time traveler.

People with gloomy thoughts, or people with other plans, will definitely secretly send someone to investigate Yang Qi carefully.

The Southern Kingdom will inevitably be excavated.

But obviously, even though Nanguo appeared on a semi-public level, Zhao Guangyi still didn't find that Nanguo belonged to Yang Qi.

This is not to say that Zhao Guangyi is stupid.

It can only be said that it is blinding and unimaginable.

After all, it took two years to create a country in the south. Even if you tell others, they may not believe it.

If Jianguo was really so easy to build, everyone wouldn't have to fight and fight over it.

Now that it is concluded that Zhao Guangyi cannot be time-traveled, it can only mean that Zhao Guangyi has been in a coma for a month and has really awakened.

Speaking of which, the matter of driving Zhao Guangyi into a coma was also Yang Qi's fault.

Unexpectedly, he indirectly helped Zhao Guangyi.

Yang Qi was thinking wildly in his mind, and Zhe Yuxun naturally couldn't figure it out. After analyzing Zhao Guangyi's purpose, Zhe Yuxun asked tentatively: "Good nephew, tell me, Zhao Guangyi really wants us to help fight the Liao Kingdom. How should I fight? How much strength should I use?"

Before the Yang family was destroyed, the Liao Kingdom could not threaten the Zhe family, so Zhe Yuxun spoke with confidence.

It's just fighting the Liao Kingdom, and it has no effect on the Zhe family.

If there are benefits, Zhejia doesn't mind helping out.

What Zhe Yuxun meant by asking Yang Qi was to ask Yang Qi if he could get something good.

Take as much benefit as possible and give as much effort as possible.

Yang Qi rolled Zhe Yuxun's eyes, and pondered: "It's hard to say how much effort will be put into it, and I don't think it is necessary for the Zhe family to spend their energy on the Liao Kingdom."

Zhe Yuxun was taken aback for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and said, "How do you say that?"

Yang Qi said with a half-smile: "The east and north of the Zhe family are all my domains. Therefore, there is no room for the Zhe family to play in the northeast direction. Even if there is a conspiracy against the Liao country, that is my business." .The Zhe family gets involved, at most they will mix some money and food, and they won't get much benefit."

Zhe Yuxun squinted his eyes halfway, and asked: "Listen to what you mean, go to the northeast, and don't let us touch Zhe's house. That is to say, you have taken a fancy to it?"

Yang Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "You have a big mouth and a lot of food. I never thought of taking up all the good things. I just think that since Zhejia has already occupied most of the Dangxiang, it should develop nearby. .”

Zhe Yuxun nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Tell the old uncle carefully."

Yang Qi pondered and said: "It's not good to go east, and it's not good to go south. Then consider going north or west."

Zhe Yuxun frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The north is a place of bitter cold, and it is useless to ask for it. The west is full of countries, and there is also a vast desert. It is very barren, and there is not much benefit."

Yang Qi shook his head indifferently, "Then you are wrong, although it is bitter cold to the north, it is precisely because of the bitter cold that the population is sparse, and these places are relatively primitive.

The fields have been uncultivated for thousands of years and are extremely fertile.There are countless trees, flowers, cattle, sheep and horses.There are also mineral deposits such as gold, silver, copper and iron that no one has cultivated.

As long as you spend a little effort, you can easily gather huge wealth.

Although there are many countries in the west, they are basically small countries. Few people can resist the Zhejia army.

The wealth accumulated in the western countries for hundreds of years and thousands of years can be easily obtained.

And there are many minerals.

After crossing the desert and further west, you can find a large piece of land that does not belong to Song Dynasty.

Where is the wealth more amazing.

It is said that people there like to decorate houses, temples and so on with gold. "

Zhe Yuxun was dumbfounded, with an expression of disbelief.

Yang Qi hit the iron while it was hot: "Uncle, you have to take a long-term view. This world is far bigger than you think. Everyone always thinks that there is no place with no people or few people, and it is poor. It seems that there is no place in the world that can compare with the Central Plains. earth.

This is a wrong way of thinking.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about Jiaozhi, Dali and Yongzhou.

These are considered to be the places where the southern barbarians lived, and their resources are far more abundant than those in the Central Plains.

Everyone thinks that they are poor, but if they haven't seen it with their own eyes, how do they know if they are really poor?
I have seen with my own eyes that there are countless gold mines in Jiaozhi, and the food there is cropped three times a year.Throw a handful of rice down, and you can easily get a harvest without intensive farming.

Ivory is piled up like mountains, spices are loaded in buckets, and precious wood is piled into pieces.

And Dali, just a small area like Dali, produces more gold and copper mines than Da Song.

Can you imagine that the problem of lack of copper in the Song Dynasty can be easily solved based on the output of the Dali Copper Mine alone?This shows how rich the Dali copper mine is. "
