Pang Ji lay on the bed and took a sip of the medicinal soup given by his wife. He coughed violently. After finally breathing evenly, he said to his wife: "Go and invite Han Zhigui to come over and have a talk."
The lady wept and said, "You have passed your sixtieth year and have been unable to use your muscles and bones for a long time. Now your midsection has been severely injured by an assassin. The imperial doctor said that all your internal organs are in danger of displacement. How can you still take care of state affairs?"
Pang Ji smiled and said: "If you are not in your position, you will not seek political affairs. Since I am still the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, I should work hard all my life. Fan Zhongyan said that you should worry about the world's worries first, and then be happy after the world's happiness. He has said it all.
The way of an official sounds shocking to people, but when he reached the level of the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty, he couldn't help but not do this. There are thousands of things tied together, and the times of joy are far less than the times of worry.
Nowadays, the war between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom is about to break out. In Hebei and Yanmen, as long as there is a disturbance, there will be a series of bloody battles. This battle is different from the past. Neither the Song Dynasty nor the Liao Kingdom have much room to retreat.
What's even more frightening is that neither Yun Zheng nor Di Qing sit back and wait for the enemy to attack. As famous generals, they have the habit of preparing for rainy days. As long as they find a suitable fighter opportunity, it is not unreasonable to send troops to attack the Liao Kingdom.
Possibly, these two people command 60% of the capable soldiers of our Song Dynasty, and every move they make will bring about earth-shattering effects. The center must be prepared to deal with various crises."
The lady wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and complained: "I don't understand the important affairs of the military and state, but I do know what is going on in the palace. Ever since the candlelight ax shadow happened in the Song Dynasty, although the guards of the inner palace cannot say
Even flies can't fly in, but it's okay to be called impregnable. The assassin stabbed openly in the main hall. I don't believe that the inner government has no corresponding countermeasures. Why do you want to go up and get kicked? You really don't intend to do this.
It’s a long life, isn’t it?”
Pang Ji patted his chest gently and smiled: "What do you know? This kick is for future generations. It is not easy to hold the official position of Ping Zhangshi under Zhongshu's family. Starting from Zhao Pu, not many people have a good ending."
, wouldn’t a person like Kou Zhun be ruined after his death? Isn’t it just that he used more candles and drank more wine at home? Those who manipulate history books will not let him go. If no one comes out to compile history, Kou Zhun
Even if Zhun's reputation is over, future generations will have no hope of a future. Those people are preaching that Kou Zhun alone has taken over the Kou family's fortune for hundreds of years. This is nonsense, and their intentions are to be punished!
Yan Shu now stays at home and never leaves the house. He keeps feasting all day long. Even if he is impeached by the imperial censor, he does not stop, just to give the royal family an excuse to deal with him. Jia Changchao is demoted again and again, and he takes another step.
We are about to cross Meiling and enter the misty land south of Lingnan. We can learn from the past and I cannot allow myself not to think about the future for my descendants."
"If your children and grandchildren fail to live up to expectations, your husband will suffer, and I cannot escape the blame!"
Pang Ji smiled bitterly and said: "The child is not yours alone, I also have a share. Speaking of it, it is the fault of the son not to teach the father. As I am a very powerful minister, my descendants will inevitably be domineering and high-spirited. I am suppressing it."
They are motivated, so it doesn't matter if you are tired. Send Zhongfang to visit Han Zhigui's mansion. If possible, arrange the marriage between him and Han Chunv as early as possible this year, so that the royal family will not betroth the princess to him again."
"Zhong Fang is at the Song Dynasty Bank and will be sent to Shuzhong soon. He really should get married as soon as possible. Sir, can Zhong Fang's wedding be prepared in a more grand manner? Fang Ping's marriage has already neglected the Liang family. I heard that Liang Hou
Madam has said this several times behind people’s backs. Zhong Fang’s marriage really cannot be kept simple.”
Pang Ji frowned when he saw his wife chattering and said: "Let's discuss this matter later. Han Zhigui is different from Liang Zan. Han Zhigui knows that what we do is truly good for the children. Liang Zan has made great achievements throughout his life, but he is confused and a bit hypocritical.
.”
The lady helped Pang Ji lie down and whispered in his ear: "Master, is there any deep meaning in the royal family's grand marriage to a princess?"
Pang Ji was startled, sat up suddenly and said angrily: "Is this what you are asking about? If you shouldn't ask, don't ask!"
Seeing that Pang Ji was really angry, the lady quickly stroked his back to help him calm down. She apologized and said, "Yes, it's my fault. Don't lose your temper. Just lie down and wait until Han Zhigui comes over."
Discussing things!"
Pang Ji lay down again in anger, but no longer sleepy. Although the spring and scenery outside the window were bright, his heart was filled with clouds. If the war between Song and Liao was a huge stone weighing on his heart, then the emperor marrying a princess was the weight of Mount Tai.
On the back, the blow left him almost breathless. He could only lie on the ground and carry Taishan on his back, without any ability to turn around.
Throughout the ages, when the royal family betrothed princesses on a grand scale, there would be turmoil in the court. If the purpose of this was not to prepare for the Great Purge, it would be because the emperor knew that his life was up and was paving the way for his children to ascend to the throne.
Already.
Pang Ji was soaked in sweat when he thought of the emperor's child who was still drooling and babbling.
It is said that although a woman is weak, she is strong as a mother. This is a truth in the world, and it applies to all creatures. Whether it is a cowardly sheep or a she-wolf with her cubs, they are the most aggressive at this time. Likewise,
Yes, this rule also applies to Zhao Zhen, who has always been cowardly.
He knew that his health was not good, so he planned to build a complete family for his children in the shortest possible time and straighten out all the affairs in the court. At this time, the lives and deaths of others were meaningless to him.
He just wants his child to be able to sit firmly on that throne after he dies and pass on the Zhao family's legacy from generation to generation...
These days, Pang Ji is thinking about this matter. He doesn't know where the emperor wants to take action. In the past, he thought that the emperor only wanted the sixteen states of Yanyun to complete the layout of China's territory. Now
It seems that the emperor actually wanted to deal with the Liao Kingdom while sorting out the imperial court.
God, all fools know that when fighting at the front, the rear must be stable. Only in this way can we work together to defeat the Liao Kingdom, which has the most powerful military in the world. If you think about fighting while cleaning up the court, you are doing your own thing.
Perish.
These two things must not be done at the same time. Absolutely not. During the war, even if the people behind are faulty or even corrupt, they cannot be dealt with at this time. If you want to deal with them, you must wait until after the war and then clean them all up. This is common sense.
ah!
Pang Ji could even predict that Gao Jixuan would be reused by the emperor, because this man fully met all the conditions for Minister Tuogu, with mediocre ability, jealousy of talents, but also loyalty to the royal family.
Even if such a person cannot be removed in the future, when the young emperor reaches adulthood, he can easily get rid of this person and use it as a target to establish his power after he ascends to power.
Pang Ji touched his aching chest and abdomen and smiled bitterly. The emperor really worked hard for his children, but he himself seemed to be no better. For the sake of his children, wasn't he willing to be kicked by others?
"No one can make mistakes without being a sage! I hope the heaven and earth can forgive Pang Ji's selfishness."
Pang Ji, who was lying on the bed, put his hands together and prayed heartily to heaven and earth.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of Nang Nang’s boots was heard outside the window. With difficulty, Pang Ji leaned on the bedside with the help of the maid, waiting for Han Qi’s arrival. At this time, he could only be closely connected with Han Qi.
, in order to avoid this unprecedented crisis.
"Has Mr. Pang's health improved?" Han Qi stood in front of Pang Ji's bed and looked at Pang Ji's face carefully.
Pang Ji smiled and said: "I'm not dead yet. Please sit down quickly, Zhigui. The reason why I invited you here is because I want to talk to you about my children's marriage. I plan to marry the two children in late spring and early summer."
But I don’t know what Zhi Gui wants?”
Han Qi was silent for a moment and sighed: "At this point, we can only help each other in the same boat. Since Mr. Pang is ready to make the connection between you and me public in order to protect himself, how can I not agree?
More than 10,000 warriors were sent to die when they said they would die. The Gao family, which has been a long-standing prince, was completely destroyed when it was said to be destroyed. Your Majesty is a dragon after all. He only showed his kind side in the past. Once he knew that he was destined to die,
Jia Nian, Long's violent, selfish and vicious side will be completely exposed. The Gao family is just a prefix. I think the emperor will never stop his plan because of this.
I and Mr. Pang have exhausted their efforts for this gorgeous Song Dynasty, and it’s time to think about their own safety."
Pang Ji smiled and said: "The children's marriage may be simpler, don't worry about it."
"At this point, how can we still give the censor an excuse? Last year, I was still complaining that you didn't stop the official's actions in Liaodong. Now that things have happened, I have to admire Pang Gong's foresight and ask Pang Gong not to do anything.
Blame.”
Pang Ji looked at the lazy Han Qi and said seriously: "Our alliance is not just for self-protection. We have devoted most of our lives to the beautiful Song Dynasty, how can we give up so easily.
As a minister, we naturally have to do our best. No one likes to see the Song Dynasty decline. We have tried our best to see the dawn of a prosperous age. How can we let it decline so easily?
After all, the Song Dynasty royal family is not the only passengers on this giant ship!"
Han Qi frowned and said: "The Privy Council received the evaluation document from Yanmen Pass. Judging from the document, Yun Zheng is worthy of his name as a famous general in hundreds of battles. A Yanmen Pass has been built by him into a bronze key. Now even wild geese cannot fly through Yanmen Pass.
Not only that, he also had the energy to take care of the side of Daizhou facing Xixia. Now I heard that he started a killing spree in Gaojiashan and Liaohe, killing two Duyuhou and beating eleven others to death with sticks.
