The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Hearing Zhao Ji's weak words, Mu Xu did not soften his heart in the slightest, and replied with the famous saying of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, "How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch."

Zhao Ji's face turned pale after hearing this, and he didn't know how to reply, or Zhao Kai suddenly interjected, "So, brother-in-law promised to help me become the king of a country in the past, is it just a joke?"

Mu Xu was taken aback when he heard the words, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that it really happened, but it couldn't help him, so he said, "Yes, I made a promise to my brother-in-law, and I didn't plan to renege on my promise." .”

Zhao Ji and his son's eyes lit up at the same time, and Zhao Kai couldn't help but said, "Brother-in-law is willing to give up plotting the Great Song Dynasty?"

"Brother-in-law may have misunderstood it. It's true that my younger brother promised to support you to become the lord of a country, but he didn't say that this country is Song Dynasty."

Mu Xu spread his hands and reminded Zhao Kai not to think about such a beautiful thing.

"Ah, you! This..." Zhao Kai couldn't help but be tongue-tied, somehow he fell into the trap of Mu Xu's words.

Not to mention how Zhao Kai was lost, but after hearing the conversation between the two, Zhao Ji thought to himself, "With Zhao Huan's ability as a rebellious son, I'm afraid he can't beat Mu Xu in all likelihood. It's not unacceptable that Xu Zhi's hand restores the country elsewhere, so at least the Zhao family's incense will be continued, and it will also ensure the immortality of Song Guozuo."

It's not surprising that Zhao Ji would think so. This guy is timid and cowardly, and he is content with the status quo. Otherwise, in the original history, he would not have survived for more than ten years in the humiliating environment of the Five Kingdoms City.

Therefore, after thinking about the pros and cons, he immediately became concerned about the fief that Mu Xu promised, "Can you tell me in detail, where do you plan to let Saburo build the country?"

Seeing that Zhao Ji was persuaded by him, Mu Xu smiled slightly, took out a map from his arms unhurriedly, spread it out and placed it on the tea table in front of him, and beckoned the two of them to come over and watch.

Zhao Ji and his son came to the front and took a look, but what they saw was a map that they had never seen before. Mountains, rivers, plains, rivers, lakes, and seas were all in it. What's more rare is that each place name was marked in detail.

What they don't know is that this map is the painstaking work of Mu Xu based on the memories of his previous life and combined with the current map. It took more than two years to complete, and it covers most of the territory of Asia in later generations.

It's just that when the two of them saw clearly the territory representing the Song Dynasty, they both showed expressions of disbelief, and Zhao Ji even said in surprise, "How is this possible, my Song Dynasty is only so big?"

Having said that, Zhao Ji is well-informed after all. After careful identification, he had to admit in frustration that the Great Song Dynasty did only occupy a corner of this picture.

Regardless of the complicated moods of the two, Mu Xu swiped his hand and circled the Central Plains, Western Regions, Liaodong, and Indochina Peninsula, and then said condescendingly, "Father-in-law, brother-in-law, you can pick the rest of the place, see You can decide wherever you go, as long as it does not exceed one-third of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, you are free to go!"

Zhao Ji and his son looked at each other, both showing a helpless expression, who made their father and son only pay attention to the wind, flowers, snow and moon on weekdays, and didn't even know what it looks like outside the Great Song Dynasty.

In fact, this is really no wonder to them. In the eyes of the Han people in ancient times, the Central Plains Dynasty has always been a kingdom of heaven. Except for those who run the sea, who has the leisure to pay attention to the wild land outside.

The two were picking and picking, but it was still difficult to make a decision. Zhao Ji suddenly caught a glimpse of Mu Xu, who was with the old god, and couldn't help but feel moved. Do you have some understanding of the local conditions and customs?"

Mu Xu guessed what Zhao Ji was thinking, but he didn't take it seriously at all. He nodded with a smile and said, "Although I dare not say that I understand everything, I still have seven or eight points."

Zhao Ji was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked for help, "The good son-in-law might as well explain a few things, so that I can understand."

"It's easy to say, father-in-law and brother-in-law please see! This is Java, I think you have heard of it more or less?"

"That's right. In the first year of Zhenghe, the king there sent envoys to the Song Dynasty. I remember that the spices they presented were not bad. According to the envoys, it is also a valuable thing in their country."

Mu Xu just said it casually, unexpectedly Zhao Ji really knew, but hearing his complacent tone, he was afraid that he had been deceived quite a bit.

It is also drunk to say that due to the inconvenient transportation in ancient times, the people of the Central Plains do not know much about the outside world, and the thinking of the heavenly kingdom is causing trouble.

Often those small foreign countries only need to pay tribute to a few local specialties, and they can get dozens or even hundreds of times the value in return. This makes those small countries love to come to the Central Plains to worship. I was taken advantage of.

It's ridiculous that those emperors didn't know it, but they were immersed in the dream of all nations coming to court.

So after hearing Zhao Ji's words, Mu Xu ruthlessly punctured his fantasy, "Please forgive my son-in-law for speaking bluntly, my father-in-law may be deceived by the envoy."

"how do I say this?"

"As far as my son-in-law knows, those so-called valuable spices are common things over there. Not to mention that they can be found everywhere, but they are also readily available!"

"Brother-in-law is exaggerating! I have dealt with those foreign businessmen in Tokyo, and I learned from them that those spices are priceless." It was Zhao Kai who was afraid of being fooled again, so he raised an objection and tried to refute Mu Xu.

Unexpectedly, Mu Xu was too lazy to explain. He immediately changed his finger and said, "Forget it, if the two of you don't like this place, then change another place. You should be satisfied here, right?"

Zhao Ji looked at the place where Mu Xu's finger landed, and asked tentatively, "Is this the Tianzhu that Master Xuanzang visited in the past?"

"However, I think both of you have heard about the wealth of Tianzhu. It is rich in gold, ivory, food, beautiful women, and the people are so docile. It is the best choice for building a country."

Speaking of this, Mu Xu regretted, "If it weren't for the Tubo Plateau, I would never let go of such a golden land anyway."

Hearing Mu Xu's tempting words, even Zhao Kai, who had always been conflicted, couldn't help it.

We must know that although there was no book "Journey to the West" in the Song Dynasty, Tang Xuanzang's deeds of going to the west to worship Buddha and learn Buddhist scriptures have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

What followed was people's perception of Tianzhu's prosperity.

As for Zhao Ji, an old pervert, after hearing Mu Xu say that there are many beauties there, his eyes lit up, his face looked fascinated, and he wished he could meet those exotic beauties right now.

Just when he was about to fall into a beautiful imagination, he heard Zhao Kai ask the key point.

"Even if I agree to it, how can the establishment of the country be just a lip service? The first problem is not easy to solve. Where did the soldiers and horses come from, and how did they get there?"

Zhao Ji came back to his senses, and followed suit, "What Sanlang said is what I want to ask. No matter how nice my son-in-law is saying right now, who knows if it is a big cake?"

Mu Xu had already considered this problem when he came, so he replied directly, "I swear to God, if I break my promise and become fat in the future, I will die badly and fall into Abi Hell forever!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his attention to Zhao Kai, and then said separately, "I can answer my brother-in-law's question right now. My plan is that if I am really lucky enough to rule the world in the future, I will allow the two of you to come from Song Dynasty." Recruit some old ministries and relocate some population.

As for how to get there, it is not a problem. Presumably the two of you have already seen the fleet under my command when you came here. What do you think?I am not afraid to tell you that I still have a fleet like this in Ryukyu. "

After hearing these words, Zhao Ji and his son realized how far-sighted Mu Xu really was, and chills arose in their hearts.

They are not fools, how could they not have imagined Mu Xu's sinister intentions to station the fleet in Ryukyu?

At the same time, for some reason, Zhao Ji felt lucky and secretly rejoiced at the decision to marry Zhao Fujin to Mu Xu that day.

He knew very well that even if his son Zhao Huan's virtues were to be grown, he would not be a match for Mu Xu, a cheap son-in-law.

If there is such a day, then Mu Xu's promise today will be extremely precious.After all, throughout the ages, when the country is subjugated, the emperor's family will not end well. Even if it is not killed, the descendants will be doomed to disappear.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji finally let go of the last bit of grievance, and asked Mu Xu, "What does my son-in-law want, please tell me directly?"

The corners of Mu Xu's mouth curled up, and he was quite satisfied with his father-in-law's understanding of current affairs, and he replied, "I want my father-in-law to issue a clear decree to the world, on which I will count the unfilial acts of my brother-in-law. The throne is passed on to the third brother-in-law."

Without waiting for Zhao Ji's reply, Zhao Kai said angrily, "Isn't that superfluous, I simply give you the Zen seat."

Mu Xu smiled without saying a word, just looked at Zhao Ji quietly.

Zhao Kai didn't understand the way of doing this, how could Zhao Ji not think of it?
The purpose of Mu Xu's doing this is obvious, nothing more than to stir up the Song Dynasty into a puddle of muddy water, and deny Zhao Huan's legitimacy to the greatest extent from the legal point of view, so as to find the best excuse for him to invade the Song Dynasty in the south.

From the perspective of the former emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji didn't want to agree to this request, which would make him ashamed to meet his ancestors.

But if you consider it from a personal standpoint, Zhao Ji has a reason to respond.

First of all, he is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, so he is worried that if he refuses Mu Xu's request, he will turn his face and be ruthless. This has to be guarded against.

Secondly, as mentioned above, Zhao Ji is very self-aware. He understands that the Great Song Dynasty is in Zhao Huan's hands, and it will be a matter of time before Mu Xu destroys the Great Song Dynasty.Since the future is inevitable, it is better to ask for some benefits, such as in exchange for Mu Xu's greater support for Zhao Kai.

Especially when thinking of the second reason, Zhao Ji told himself in his heart, "The ancestors are above all, it is not because the descendants Zhao Ji is unfilial. I am doing this helpless thing today to preserve the incense of my Zhao family." , Great Song Guozuo is immortal!"

After self-hypnosis, Zhao Ji immediately put forward his conditions, "I can agree to this matter, but the son-in-law must put the promise on paper and read it in front of all your subordinates, so that they can be a witness.

In addition, I also hope that when you go south, you can treat my Great Song clan well and ensure the safety of their lives and properties. "

Mu Xu didn't reply in a hurry, and after thinking for a while, he gave his answer, "There is no problem with the first one, my son-in-law will call all the officials tomorrow, and put this matter into practice in front of all of them." .

Well, I can also agree to the second item, but there is a premise, that is, people from your Zhao family will not cause trouble for me.As long as they are honest and honest during this period, when the third brother-in-law establishes a country overseas in the future, let them go and stay, how about it? "

"Then it's a deal!"

"Okay, it's a deal, tomorrow I will send someone to invite my father-in-law and brother-in-law."

After talking about the business, the atmosphere between the three of them immediately became harmonious, and Zhao Ji even asked Mu Xu's family to have dinner with him by borrowing flowers to present Buddha.

At the banquet, Mu Xu naturally met Princess Yun Zhu Fengying and Zhao Kai's children.

When it comes to Zhao Kai's children, one should not add a digression.

Mu Xu's ability to name Zhao Ji's father and son is not flattering. They are both well-known literary talents, but the names they choose are scumbags.

Like Zhao Yupan, Zhao Jinnu, Zhao Fujin, Zhao Fujin, etc. that Zhao Ji gave his daughter, they are not as good as ordinary rich and powerful families!

In this matter, Zhao Kai is even better than blue. Just listen to the names of his sons, and you will know his level, Zhao Tailang, Zhao Heilang, Zhao Jinlang, Zhao Yulang, Zhao Baolang.

Good guy, this made people in later generations think that Zhao Kai's cubs are brothers of Big Big Wolf!
When it comes to naming names, Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, has a pattern. Not to mention the order of generations, the last word in the names of the descendants must be strictly implemented according to the rotation of the five elements.

The ancients often talked about eighteen generations of ancestors, but Zhu Yuanzhang, he even considered the twenty generations. , the teacher is good and makes good use of it."

The comparison between the two makes the difference.

On the way back home, Mu Xu inevitably complained in front of Zhao Fujin.

After hearing this, Zhao Fujin blushed and said in disobedience, "What does Mr. Xiang mean by this, but you dislike concubine's name as indecent?"

Mu Xu laughed and said, "How can it be! Dasu is Daya, and the name of lady is so down-to-earth, it's so kind."

Then, he added, "I'm joking about brother-in-law San. Fortunately, he has passed the first prize exam. Look at the stupid names he gave to his nephews. How will they meet people when they grow up!"

"Hmph, don't think I didn't see it, you might be joking in your heart!"

After what Mu Xu said, even Zhao Fujin couldn't help laughing out loud. After realizing something was wrong, she immediately rolled her eyes at Mu Xu, and then explained,
"What do you know! My father and elder brother did this because they had to do it. Who taught us that since Zhenzong, every heir is difficult!
In the father's generation, it was hard to get rid of this problem, so naturally they cherished the child's life, so they deliberately used some humble names to suppress their blessings.When Taro and the others grow up, just choose a nice name. "
