The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 251 Xie Daolin's Dream

On the last day of September in the first year of Xianchun, the detailed rules and drafts of the seven major reform measures were all implemented. After reviewing them one by one, I handed them over to relevant departments for implementation, and ordered the Government Administration Council to be responsible for supervision.

During this month, not only was I very tired, but everyone in the court was working overtime. The high-intensity work caused the ministers to complain, but no one dared to complain publicly. After all, I was taking the lead, so they also silently I accepted it, I think, this is the so-called imitation.

At the end of the court meeting, I said: "Dear dears, everyone has worked hard this month. I have seen in my eyes, and I am very pleased with everyone's performance. However, for the prosperity of my court and the great cause of the Northern Expedition, all these hard work are worthless." What has to be paid, in the future, I hope that everyone will continue to maintain this enthusiasm. Tomorrow is October [-]st, and it is the beginning of a new month. I have decided to take a break from the court meeting for a day. Dear friends, take a good rest and recharge your spirits ,To meet new challenges,"

October [-]st is the National Day of the later generations of our country, but it was not considered a holiday in the Song Dynasty. However, in my subconscious mind, it was a day of rest by default. After all, in my memory, it has always been like this.

"Your Majesty, my minister Ma Tingluan has an announcement," Ma Tingluan said just as I was about to announce my resignation.

"My love, please tell me,"

"Your Majesty, according to our dynasty's custom, October [-]st is the day for making winter official uniforms for officials below the prime minister of this dynasty. Since the court will be closed tomorrow, I will report to Your Majesty today. Will this year continue to follow the old list?"

Wearing brocade jackets was a matter of making winter official uniforms for officials in the Song Dynasty, which represented the coming of winter.

I thought for a while and said: "I have always advocated frugality, but the production of official uniforms is also necessary. Ma Aiqing, I think this is a matter, but I added a few words, the winter official uniforms of officials below the prime minister in the court are needed. The official uniforms of the local officials will be made according to the old system. The official uniforms also represent the image of the officials in our dynasty. If they are damaged, they should be replaced, but some official uniforms are still as clean as new. Then there is no need, just like the dragon robe I newly made when I ascended the throne at the end of last year, it still looks fresh now, so there is no need to make it this year, so I specially added the word 'necessary',"

My request is very simple, everything should start from reality, spend money where you need it, and be frugal when you don't need it.

Ma Tingluan said: "I would like to obey His Majesty's will,"

"Well, back to court,"

During these busy days, I still insist on practicing martial arts, although the time spent on it has been greatly reduced every day.

I have fully mastered Taizu Changquan, and I have basically practiced Taizu swordsmanship. Only Wuying Jue has not made much progress. The faint breath that appeared in the body that day flows slowly. As for Wuying Footwork Although I memorized it by heart, it didn't have much effect.

Xiao Qi is no longer my opponent, so he doesn't want to practice duel with me anymore. Most of the time, I practice on my own. Yuan Ji on the side will occasionally give pointers, or play a trick or two with me. However, every time When I want to learn new martial arts routines, Yuan Ji always refuses without thinking, and his attitude is very firm, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and you should major in 'Sword of the Son of Heaven'. The folk martial arts method is used to strengthen the body. That's it, there is no need to spend more time and energy here. Furthermore, Your Majesty has the dragon's breath in his body. Before the dragon's breath in His Majesty's body is fully understood, there is no need to practice other methods, so as not to be self-defeating. When the time is right, the minister will accompany you Your Majesty goes to the Valley of the Kings, if the people in the valley can penetrate this way, and help His Majesty open the dragon's breath, and make it unimpeded, by then, perhaps the world's martial arts will not be surprising in His Majesty's eyes."

In fact, I know that even if my martial arts competes with Lan Yu, Wen Zhang and others, Yuan Ji will not let me fight the enemy.

Although I have a martial arts complex since I was a child, I understand my status as an emperor. I can fight against the world's masters. Even the top masters like Yuan Ji are just practicing, and cannot practice real swords and guns. actual combat.

The purpose of my martial arts training is becoming clearer and clearer, that is to change Zhao Yu's original physique in order to prolong his lifespan.

The dream of being a hero in my youth was just a dream. After nearly a year of training, I thought that Zhao Xuan's physical condition should have undergone essential changes. However, the pain in the early morning of September [-] made me All the confidence you had had vanished, or worse.

Of course, I didn't know that Zhao Yu's physical condition has been greatly improved after I practiced Taizu Changquan and Wuying Jue, and has already developed towards a normal state. Although it cannot be said that this can delay his life, but compared to The original body was indeed much stronger. The 10-minute pain that day had nothing to do with Zhao Xuan's physique, but was entirely caused by the long-term repression in my heart.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Li of Ningkun Palace is asking to see you," Eunuch Zhou, the head manager of Funing Palace, reported in the middle of the practice.

"Eunuch Li, tell him to come in," I said, wiping off my sweat.

After a while, Eunuch Li entered the room to salute and said: "The servant sees His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live the Emperor,"

"Eunuch Li, excuse me, what happened?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, this servant is following the Queen Mother's order to invite Your Majesty to have dinner at Ningkun Palace,"

"Well, I got it, you go back first, I'll go there on my own after a while," and then I said to Duke Zhou, "Grandpa Zhou, go and tell the concubine Quan, let her prepare to go, and follow me later." Go to the queen mother's palace, "

"Yes, the slave will leave,"

After leaving the Martial Arts Hall, I went back to Funing Hall, changed my clothes, called Quan Jiu, and walked towards Ningkun Palace.

"Jiu'er, do you know why the Queen Mother asked me to go to Ningkun Palace for dinner?" I asked on the way.

"Officials, Jiu'er doesn't know either,"

"When you were at Ningkun Palace in the afternoon, the Queen Mother didn't mention it,"

"No, official. In the afternoon, Jiu'er and others played cards with the Queen Mother in the Queen Mother's Palace. Later, the imperial commander Xie Daolin came to meet the Queen Mother, and Jiu'er and the others went back to the palace."

"Thank you Daolin,"

"Yes, official,"

I let out a thoughtful "Oh".

When Quan Jiu and I arrived at Ningkun Palace, we saw Xie Daolin talking with Xie Daoqing in the room, but Xie Daoqing didn't seem very happy.

"The child has seen the mother,"

"Jiu'er pays homage to the Queen Mother,"

"Officials, Jiu'er, you are all here, sit down, let's talk while eating," Xie Daoqing looked pale when he saw us coming, and said to the maid beside him, "pass the order, pass the meal,"

Seeing me coming, Xie Daolin hastily saluted and said, "My minister, Xie Daolin, sees Your Majesty."

"Excuse me," I laughed as I sat down.

Xie Daoqing handed me a cup of tea, and said straight to the point: "Officials, why did you let Xie Daolin be the commander of the Imperial Forest Army?"

I froze for a moment and said, "Queen, why not?"

"Officials, relatives have been officials since ancient times, and it is very easy to attract criticism. You let Xie Daolin take up a military post, and you are also my envoy to the most elite Imperial Forest Army. Doesn't this make people gossip?"

"Queen, Xie Tongzhi is an official of the imperial court. This time, it's just a job transfer. What reason do others have to make irresponsible remarks?"

"The officials don't know that Xie Dao's position as the imperial bodyguard today was decided by the first emperor after the long examination. Moreover, many ministers in the court jointly wrote a letter against it. The officials are currently vigorously carrying out reforms. , this will not let the opponents seize the opportunity, saying that the harem has begun to interfere in the government, and plans to control the military power around Lin'an, so as to blackmail the imperial power, etc., "

"Haha," I said with a smile, "don't worry, Queen Mother, there will always be opponents of any policy measure. Hasn't our dynasty always had the theory of imperial power, prime minister power, and empress power? Now the imperial power and empress power are joining hands. What's wrong with that?"

Seeing my nonchalant expression, Xie Daoqing sighed and said, "Officials, my mother knows that my mother can't justify you now, but I just hope that the officials can act carefully and don't let people be left behind by their words."

"Mother, the ancients said, 'A virtuous person does not avoid relatives, and a virtuous person does not avoid enemies'. The principle of employing children is this, that is, in every suitable position, let the most suitable minister take the position, and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army Hai'er is responsible for it himself, and Xie Tongzhi is only a deputy."

"Official, you are nominally the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, but the courtiers all think that the actual commander of the Imperial Forest Army is Xie Daolin,"

"Hehe, so what's the matter? I still plan to let Fan Wenhu be the envoy of the Guang'an War Zone. There must be many ministers in the DPRK who oppose it. They will definitely say that Fan Wenhu belongs to Jia Sidao's party. , let him serve as the system envoy, isn't it just giving the prime minister military power?"

Xie Daoqing said: "Yes, if I were an opponent of Jia Sidao, I would think so too,"

"That's right. The main reason for this is that my court has always valued civility over military affairs. Think about it, Queen Mother, how many generals are there in the court who are used to fighting?"

Xie Daoqing thought for a moment, nodded, and said: "Officials, Fan Wenhu has fought in battle, and he is the deputy commander of the imperial army, the deputy commander in front of the palace, and it is reasonable to be the commander of one party, but Xie Daolin himself did not join the army. Experience, is it inappropriate to serve as the deputy of the Imperial Forest Army?"

Xie Daoqing did not show any sign of wanting to get involved in the three divisions of the forbidden army, which moved me quite a bit. I will personally command the Imperial Forest Army, but I can't go to the camp. I need someone to help me from the future Wen Zhang was too young, and Zhang Shijie had no military background. At that time, I thought for a long time before I thought of Xie Daolin. It was not because he was Xie Daoqing's younger brother, but because the overall quality of the imperial guards far surpassed that of Zhang Shijie. Although there are also reasons for the talent of the imperial guards, but it cannot be ignored that Xie Daolin leads troops well. This point, Lan Yu, Shen Mo and others also have a common understanding, and there is another point that Xie Daolin Execution ability, I have seen the training of the imperial guards, and I have also read Xie Daolin's information files. It can even be said that his execution ability surpassed that of Li Tingzhi, the commander of the frontier army. Of course, Xie Daolin executed most of the orders of the late emperor and Xie Daoqing.

Without telling Xie Daoqing, I had a detailed discussion with Xie Daolin. I didn't expect to hit it off immediately, because the purpose of Xie Daolin's martial arts training since childhood was to hope that one day he could go to the battlefield and wipe out the enemy like Yue Fei. It was only because of Xie Daoqing's persistence that he stayed. In the palace, he was in charge of the imperial guards.

If my youth complex is martial arts, then Xie Daolin's dream is to wield a sword and gallop on the battlefield.
