Zhao Ping saw the two people's unwillingness and didn't know what they were thinking.
He smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth: "The two father-in-laws are not without options."
"Consort, what can I do?" The two of them asked in unison, extremely happy.
Zhao Ping waved, and Yang Yun opened a map and placed it on the desk.
When Duan Xingzhi saw Zhao Ping opening the map, his face turned pale: "It's over. Doesn't this prince-in-law want to demarcate the territory of Dali Kingdom again?"
Zhao Ping already wants one-sixth of Dali's territory, does he still want one-sixth?
Having lost 30% of his territory, how should he explain it to his ancestors, and how to explain it to future generations?
Thinking of this, his face turned livid, and his old face almost turned into the color of pig liver.
"This prince-in-law is so ambitious. Does he really want to swallow up Zi Qi Kingdom in one go?" Thinking of this, Yong Ju trembled all over.
Zhao Ping shook his head and said with a joking smile: "Two father-in-laws, you know the Kingdom of the Queen, the Kingdom of Angkor, the Kingdom of Three Buddhas, the Kingdom of Java, the Kingdom of Mayi, and the Kingdom of Bagan."
"Most of these countries are in the south of Dali." After hearing the names of these countries, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Ping pointed to the map and said, "Two father-in-laws, these countries have so much gold that they even use it to make Buddha statues."
"Is it true?" Yanju was stunned, with his mouth open and speechless for a long time. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Is this true? I don't believe it."
Duan Xingzhi was speechless for a moment as if he had been struck by lightning.
Zhao Ping ignored the two of them and continued: "Most of Dali and Ziqi are poor mountains and rivers, which are not suitable for growing rice. Not only are they suitable for growing rice, but the rice in some places is fragrant. It is called fragrant rice locally. "
At this time, not only Yongju and Duan Xingzhi seemed to be struck by thunder, but even Gao Taixiang was stunned.
"Two father-in-laws, Annan, as you know, the people there are extremely lazy, and most of the fields are done by women." Zhao Ping pointed at the map of Annan and looked at the three of them.
Duan Xingzhi and Yong Ju glanced at each other: "I've heard of this, but what does it have to do with the Queen's Kingdom?"
"The men in these places have the same character, they are almost lazy. Because the land there is not like Dali and Ziqi, the land is extremely fertile. As long as you sow the seeds, you just wait for the harvest." Zhao Ping showed a faint smile on his face and said calmly said.
Duan Xingzhi and Gao Taixiang were already sitting down, but after hearing this, they couldn't help but stand up again.
Ying Gou beat the case angrily and couldn't help but said: "The man is the head of the family. How can the men in these countries be so lazy?"
"It is precisely because the men here are so lazy that it is called the Queen's Country. After all, women do all the farm work at home, so what status do men have?" Zhao Ping said with a sarcastic smile on his face, adding fuel to the fire.
Yingju patted the table again and couldn't help but said: "If you don't take what God gives you, you will be punished by God."
Their country of Qi is worse than that of Dali. They are all in barren and remote areas, and except for sheep herding, there is not much harvest from agriculture.
If it weren't for being on the Silk Road and being able to sell horses, we would have starved to death.
"Exactly, Saint Kong said." Duan Xingzhi's face turned red and his eyes almost fell out of their sockets.
"The land is fertile, but they have elephants, which are far more powerful than war horses. They are not only tall, but also have thick skin and flesh. They are not afraid of swords and arrows at all." Gao Taixiang was also a little tempted, but when he heard about the elephant soldiers, he suddenly lost his confidence.
When Ying Ju heard this, he was also a little downcast.
It turns out that the Dali Kingdom did not think of expansion, but it had no choice but to face the enemy.
Yeng Ju thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, although the Queen's Kingdom has elephant soldiers, the Prince Consort has an iron monster, which is more than ten times bigger than an elephant, and it also has iron cannons, whirlwind cannons and the like. firearm."
"But there is only one of these iron-clad monsters in Dali, and even less in Ziqi." Duan Xingzhi glanced at Gao Taixiang jealously and couldn't help but say.
There is also an iron monster in Dali Kingdom.
It's a pity that it belongs to Prime Minister Gao Taixiang, and he, the emperor, doesn't have it.
Of course Zhao Ping knew what they were thinking: "What's the problem? The two father-in-laws can just borrow it."
"What a good prince-in-law, he is indeed a good prince-in-law." Duan Xingzhi was overjoyed, but he immediately remembered something, "But no one knows how to use the firearms above."
"Two father-in-laws, I will borrow the troops and horses together, including the cavalry and auxiliary troops." Zhao Ping naturally had some concerns in his heart. He had spent most of the troops and horses. After the victory, he would inevitably divide the corresponding territory.
Duan Xingzhi, Gao Taixiang and Yong Ju looked at each other, and the three nodded to each other.
Duan Xingzhi smiled: "Consort, you have contributed a lot. After the barbarian territories are conquered, you will naturally have a share."
Hearing this, Cao Ke and others were extremely happy.
Cao Ke, Yang Yun, and Ran Liyuan were still worried that Zhao Ping would release his horse to Nanshan and disarm and return to the fields.
They are all professional soldiers, all of them are only around 20 years old, and it is time to make contributions.
Cao Ke, Yang Yun, Ran Liyuan and others all have titles, but these titles belong to the Dali Kingdom, not the Song Dynasty.
Their target was the prince of the Song Dynasty, a title that was far more valuable than the vassal country of Dali.
"You follow the Dali Kingdom and the Ziqi Kingdom to wipe out the barbarians and let the Chinese language dominate the world." Zhao Ping said privately to Cao Ke, Yang Yun and others.
Hearing this, several people were extremely happy, and they all bowed their hands and said, "No."
After Zhao Ping made arrangements, he returned to Sichuan with a thousand soldiers.
Beijing, study room of Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion.
A singer is playing music wholeheartedly.
While Ding Daquan was enjoying the latest popular songs "Yun Shui Dao Xin" and "Peacock Dance", he closed his eyes and stroked his beard, while tapping the fingers of his right hand gently on the table to follow the rhythm.
An admiring smile appeared on his face: "I have to say, listening to these songs by Zhao Ping'er, my ears are as clear as silk and bamboo, and it is as laborious as removing documents."
"Ding Gong, I wonder if Zhao Ping'er still has the heart to listen to these songs after receiving the gold medal call?" Jia Sidao's lips curved with a hint of ridicule.
"Oh, we shouldn't be like this. I'm afraid we will never hear such a famous song again." Ding Daquan couldn't help but sigh and patted the table, "Just like after Jikang's death, there was no more "Guangling San". "
Jia Sidao felt the same and sighed longly: "Zhao Ping is really gifted with talents. He is proficient in making weapons, writing, art of war, officialdom, etc., and he is master of all. If it weren't for Yu Jie's quick start, Even if he is kidnapped by the lower officials, he must be kidnapped and brought to the house so that he can marry his little daughter."
"Indeed, this man's talent makes him the best uncle in the world. I once had this plan." Ding Daquan shook his head, with a playful smile on his lips, "It's a pity, he has such great achievements that he may have to follow in the footsteps of King E. .”
Hearing this, Jia Sidao couldn't help but look at Ding Daquan more and shook his head inwardly.
I heard that Zhao Ping is also a talented person, how can I look down on you, the granddaughter of a scoundrel like you?
Jia Sidao's sister was Lizong's favorite concubine, and he himself was naturally handsome.
However, although he had this idea in his heart, he did not dare to say it out.
"Zhao Ping's son in the Song Dynasty is not only a threat to the officials, but also a threat to us?" Jia Sidao saw Ding Daquan's unhappy expression, and immediately changed his tone and sighed quietly.
Ding Daquan was also a little jealous of Jia Sidao's appearance, but Jia Sidao was deeply loved by Lizong, so he naturally couldn't offend him.
He nodded with a gentle face and said bitterly: "Zhao Ping has done everything for us, so what else can we do if we are left alone?"
"Not only did he force the Hu people to sue for peace, but now he went to Dali to help them. In comparison, we are nothing?" Jia Sidao's jealousy was clearly evident on his expression.
Ding Daquan took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and smiled bitterly: "I heard that Zhaojiazhuang is already extremely wealthy, and everyone under his rule is a paradise on earth. It seems that we, my husband, are just begging for bones."
"Isn't Zhao Ping's son famous all over the world? If he doesn't come to the capital, he must be disloyal to the emperor. Look at his
Where is the reputation? "Jia Sidao couldn't help but have a sarcastic smile on his face.
Ding Daquan tapped the table with his fingers and said thoughtfully: "This is a dilemma. If Zhao Ping doesn't come to the capital, his reputation will be damaged. If he comes to the capital, he will most likely be imprisoned."
"Back then, the King of E was bent on the Northern Expedition, and Gaozong had to withdraw southward with twelve gold medals. Now the official family has sixteen gold medals, let's see if Zhao Ping can resist this time?" Ding Daquan picked up the teacup again and gently Taking a sip of tea, he couldn't help but sneered.
In another study room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was also brightly lit.
Dong Huai made a cup of strong tea and was about to drink it.
Wu Qian looked at Dong Huai's teacup and asked dissatisfiedly: "Tingzhi, why don't you give me the same tea?"
"Yifu, aren't you afraid of insomnia at night?" Dong Huai frowned and couldn't help but ask.
Wu Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "In this situation, can I still fall asleep?"
Dong Huai sighed heavily: "The imperial court is destroying the Great Wall."
"Isn't there a righteous husband (Yu Jie) in Sichuan?" Wu Qian also sighed and comforted himself.
A joking smile appeared on Dong Huai's face: "Didn't Yifu also be summoned by the official's gold medal? If it weren't for Zhao Ping, he might have committed suicide by taking poison."
"Why, is there such a thing?" Wu Qian couldn't believe his ears. It felt like a thunderbolt hit his head, and it felt like someone had poured cold water on him from head to toe, and his whole body was numb.
"Come here." Dong Huai waved to Wu Qian, and Wu Qian had no choice but to come to Dong Huai's side.
Dong Huai lowered his head, covered his mouth with his right hand, and whispered into Wu Qian's ear: "It is said that Yifu prepared batch of frost on his desk, but Zhao Ping discovered it, so nothing happened."
"Fortunately, Zhao Ping found out," Wu Qian hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, patted the table and said bitterly, "otherwise there would be no righteous husband today. Uncle Xie Fang and Xu Qingsou are indeed Qin Hui second."
"Zhao Ping asked the four of them to kneel in front of King E. It was indeed not unfair." Dong Huai snorted and sneered.
"Now someone wants to be Qin Hui." Wu Qian patted the table again and couldn't help but stand up from the table, "Tingzhi, you are the right prime minister, you should stop this."
"Prime Minister Right? I am indeed Prime Minister Right, but is there Prime Minister Zuo above?" Dong Huai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The prime minister on the left is the chief, and the prime minister on the right is the deputy.
Wu Qian still wanted to work harder and said, "Tingzhi, but..."
"No buts," Dong Huai immediately stopped Wu Qian and kept waving his hands, "Yifu, haven't you noticed yet? The official is already interested."
"From this point of view, isn't Zhao Ping in danger? Is he going to follow in the footsteps of King E?" Wu Qian was shocked and couldn't help but stand up from his seat, his right hand trembling.
"There are two of us in the court now. It is impossible for old man Ding to be second to Qin Hui." Dong Huai patted the table, with a sarcastic smile on his face, and said coldly.
Wu Qian asked tentatively: "Tingzhi, how do the officials treat Zhao Ping?"
"After all, Zhao Ping is famous all over the world and is a Jinshi. Unlike the King of E, he is a warrior. The officials may ask him to hand over his military power and take his troops back to the court. After all, Zhao Ping is not only rich in the world, but also has a close friend. The soldiers and horses of the Hu people have already threatened the imperial court." Dong Huai thought for a while and said.
Wu Qian couldn't help but sigh: "It seems like Zhao Ping will be trapped in the capital in the future?"
"Puyu (Meng Gong) who was disarmed and returned to his fields may be the end of Zhao Ping." Dong Huai shook his beard and lamented.
Dong Huai was a war leader and wanted to conquer the Central Plains.
Thinking of this ending, he was disheartened and unable to sit down.
Wu Qian was sitting weakly on the chair, with a look of helplessness in his eyes: "Tingzhi, Yifu is already disheartened. Zhao Ping is very likely to be trapped in the capital in the future. What will happen to the Song Dynasty in the future?"
In the Kunning Hall, Princess Rui is playing "Peacock Dance" with all her heart.
There is also a music score next to her, which is "Yun Shui Dao Xin"
.
However, Princess Rui is still young and has not yet reached the point where she can do whatever she wants.
She decided to learn one song before playing another one, so that Princess Rui would feel able to face Zhao Ping calmly in the future.
After the song was finally played, Princess Rui was sweating profusely, and a palace maid came forward to wipe her sweat.
"Princess Qi, Zhao Ping is coming to the capital." Qiuyue stepped forward and bowed, and said with a low eyebrow.
"Bang bang." The teacup in Princess Rui's hand fell to the marble floor and shattered into pieces.
Princess Rui was so shocked by this sudden incident that she felt as if she had received an electric shock, and her spirit was in a state of half-dementia.
She ignored the teacup and stood up, unable to believe her ears: "Qiuyue, is it true or not?"
"Princess, of course it is true. I dare not lie." Qiuyue lowered her head and answered.
"That's great, that's great. Could it be that Zhao Ping is here to see the slave's family?" Princess Rui's face turned red, she kept rubbing her hands and walking around the table.
Qiuyue suppressed the laughter in her heart, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.
She could only whisper: "Princess, Zhao Ping was summoned to the capital by the officials."
"What, Zhao Ping didn't come to see the slave family?" Princess Rui was disappointed and sat down on the brocade stool.
Qiuyue thought to herself that the princess was almost obsessed with lovesickness, and she even thought of Zhao Ping making a special trip to visit her.
But this was her master, she didn't dare to slander him, she could only keep it in her heart.
Princess Rui drank the tea that the palace maid made again and felt much more awake.
She thought in her heart that the slave family is suffering from lovesickness in the palace without conscience. Zhao Ping, is it possible that the slave family is in your heart?
Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she almost shed tears.
Thinking that she is a princess, she must not be so rude.
She wiped the corners of her eyes to prevent tears from flowing out.
Princess Rui thought for a while and asked quietly: "Qiuyue, why did the officials summon Zhao Ping to the capital?"
"Princess, I don't know this slave. I heard that the official issued sixteen gold medals in one day and summoned Zhao Ping to the capital." Qiuyue still didn't dare to raise her head and answered cautiously.
Bang bang, the teacup in Princess Rui's hand fell to the ground again and was shattered again.
Princess Rui was dumbfounded for a moment. She stood there as if she were petrified, her mouth wide open and unable to close for a long time: "What, sixteen gold medal summons?"
"Princess Qi Zhen, yes, the official family issues sixteen gold medals a day." Qiuyue was a little confused as to why the official family issued sixteen gold medals.
Princess Rui broke into a cold sweat and asked in a panic: "Zhao Ping is in danger, what should the slave family do?"
