Yang Yunfan smiled slightly and replied: "The poems written by Empress Li are magnificent, charming and tender, elegant and elegant. However, the poems are mostly sad and desolate, romantic and romantic, and are mostly poems written by the palace. It kills the ambition and advocates extravagance, which is actually the subjugation of the country. The likes and dislikes of lyrics and music vary from person to person and there is no fixed number;”

Miss Xiyan raised her eyebrows when she heard this and said softly: "Then I dare to ask, sir, in your eyes, whose work can be called a masterpiece?"

Yang Yunfan thought for a while and replied loudly: "If we talk about the majestic, heroic and passionate poems, they must be Tang poems. I really like the line "Why don't men bring Wu hooks and charge Guanshan fifty" in Li He's "Thirteen Poems of Nanyuan"? state. "Please come to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, and I will be like a scholar with ten thousand households". This poem inspires people to forge ahead. Every time I read this, it makes people excited and full of admiration.

After hearing this, Miss Xiyan was thoughtful and speechless. Zhang Qixian, who was sitting in the chair, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Young people should be so energetic. However, this poem by Li He and Li Changji is not entirely correct. Then Many of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion were scholars, and what Li Changji wrote was too absolute. In fact, regardless of whether they were literary or martial arts, they all served their family and country. This is what the saying goes, "acquire literary and martial arts and buy into the emperor's family."

After listening to Zhang Qixian's words, Yang Yunfan said: "What Mr. Xianggong said is absolutely true, but the way of civility and military affairs lies in balance. Emphasis on scholars, and scholars will use literature to disturb the law; emphasis on generals, then warriors will use force to violate the prohibition;

Nowadays, my court emphasizes civility over military affairs, to the point of being sensational. The younger generation once heard a story. When I met Cao Bin, the Prime Minister and Privy Councilor of Xifu, on the road, I had to stop my sedan chair to avoid a small official minister.

This is because our dynasty pays attention to the use of civil servants to control military affairs. Although Cao Bin, the Privy Councilor, is the Prime Minister of the Xifu, because he is a military officer, he will make way for a civil servant several levels lower than him;

Afterwards, all the civil servants praised Cao Bin's behavior, but it chilled the hearts of all the generals in the world. Who would be willing to die on the battlefield for the country in the future, wrapped in horse leather? “When soldiers die in battle, no one cares about them, but when a scholar succeeds in the imperial examination, it is known all over the world”…”

Yang Yanzhao on the side was surprised when he heard this and felt that his nephew's remarks were suspected of "discussing the government affairs and criticizing Chengyu". He frowned and scolded: "Fan'er, don't talk nonsense. How can you discuss the affairs of the government in front of me?"

Yang Yunfan didn't say anything after hearing this. He lowered his head and drank the wine in the glass silently. He felt that the wine in the glass had become extremely bitter and difficult to swallow. He sighed and put down the glass;

Zhang Qixian laughed when he heard this, and then frowned and said: "In the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the feudal towns and the military were in chaos. In more than fifty years, there were more than ten emperors. Whoever had strong soldiers and horses could become the emperor. Wars continued, and the people were in dire straits. The military was strong and the civil service was weak, and the princes in the political hall were unable to control the army at all. Therefore, every time there was a war, the soldiers massacred the city, and the people suffered unspeakably."

After Taizu founded the Song Dynasty, he was determined to end this chaos, decided to use civil society and military power, and centralize power. This gradually made the world peaceful, the country prosperous and the people safe; so this system was inherited; "

"Yan Yun has not recovered, and Xixia has not been at peace. At this time, both civil and military forces should work together to defeat King Xiang and achieve unparalleled achievements," Yang Yunfan said;

Zhang Qixian took a deep breath and said: "The affairs of Yanyun and Xixia should be dealt with slowly."

At noon the next day, in the Funing Hall of the Song Dynasty Palace, Emperor Zhao Guangyi was leaning on the cave. The maids and eunuchs standing beside him were carrying medicinal materials that had been prepared. There were also several imperial doctors beside them, waiting for dispatch at any time;

Wang Jien lifted up Zhao Guangyi's trouser leg to reveal the old injury, then looked back at the emperor Zhao Guangyi, who nodded; then Wang Jien signaled to Bai Lekang that he could proceed.

Zhao Guangyi watched Bai Lekang perform the voodoo attentively. Bai Lekang took out a celadon jar from his sleeve and slowly unscrewed the cork. A voodoo as big as a finger slowly crawled out of the bottle. Under Bai Lekang's guidance, , slowly crawling towards the wound on Zhao Guangyi’s leg;

Zhao Guangyi frowned and watched as the Gu worm slowly squirmed back and forth in the wound, and then penetrated into the skin of the wound. He did not feel any pain, just a slight itching feeling; he looked at Bai Lekang , but did not speak;

Bai Lekang on the side explained softly: "The worms need to burrow into the carrion of the wound and devour the carrion before they can remove the carrion and produce new ones, so that the wound will not recur after healing." Then he ordered the palace maid and eunuch on the side to teach the prepared herbs to him. The imperial physician boiled and ground the powder according to his instructions.

After two sticks of incense, the poisonous insects had devoured the carrion. Bai Lekang used a celadon jar to collect the poisonous insects, then mixed the herbal ointment and foam onto a white cloth and wrapped it around Zhao Guangyi's wound.

After everything was completed, Bai Lekang wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowed and said in salute: "The officials and the common people have finished using the poison. The officials can walk there by themselves tomorrow without support; but they are not allowed to drink alcohol for one month, and they will not be angry for half a year." , if you don’t overwork yourself, you should be able to recover;

Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "It all depends on the doctor's skill. I will not be stingy with the reward. In a few days, the Dragon Boat Festival will be held. Dr. Bai can go with me to Jinmingchi to enjoy the performance of the water army. With you by my side, I will treat my old illness Don’t worry too much”

"Thank you for the official's grace, the common people obey the order; the official has just been cured and needs more rest, the common people will leave." Bai Lekang bowed and replied;

Zhao Guangyi nodded happily, and Bai Lekang bowed and exited the hall;

After Bai Lekang left, Zhao Guangyi asked Wang Jien, who was standing aside, about the reward for Bai Lekang: "Ji'en, what do you think I should give Dr. Bai as a reward? A gold seal, money and silk, or an official title?"

"Reporting back to the official family, Doctor Bai's family is located in the Miao border. Rewarding him with gold seals, money, silk, and being promoted to an official position are not as happy as one thing that makes Doctor Bai happy." Wang Jien said with a smile, hesitating to speak;

"Oh? What's the matter? You old slave is still cheating on me," Zhao Guangyi scolded with a smile; after having the old illness diagnosed today, he was in a much better mood;

Wang Jien chuckled and said: "Open the ban on tea and salt to the Five Poison Sect,"

The Song Dynasty followed the system of the Tang Dynasty and implemented official trading of tea, salt, and iron, which was an important source of tax revenue for the Song Dynasty. The circulation of tea and salt in various places must be approved by the court before trading, and the court strictly prohibited private sales; offenders could be punished with death;

Zhao Guangyi frowned when he heard this, and Wang Jien observed his words and continued: "Don't worry, officials, the court can only allow the Five Poison Sect to buy and sell the tea salt they need, and it will not have an impact on the court's tax revenue."

Zhao Guangyi nodded and then said: "The Five Poison Sect is allowed to trade tea and salt, and by the way, they will be rewarded with some gold seals, money and silk, and a few titles." Wang Jien nodded in agreement;
