On the Bianhe River, countless merchant ships were passing by.
One of the ships is seven stories high and hangs a green flag representing the Song Dynasty.
Anyone familiar with it knows that this is the envoy ship of the Song Dynasty. There must be high-ranking officials in the court who are going to other countries on behalf of the Song Dynasty.
On the top floor, there is a small table with two people sitting opposite each other.
"Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the world has been divided into six parts. Only our Song Dynasty has experienced frequent chaos. The reason is that there are border troubles caused by the Northern Captives and rebels internally. Now that our dynasty has established external relations with Ligustrum, the Northern Captives of the Khitans are not enough.
Fear, as for the Qingxi bandit Fang La, as long as he joins forces with Soochow, he can be destroyed overnight. You must persuade Sun Quan to make an alliance when you go."
Opposite him, a middle-aged man in a scarlet official uniform cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, I have been favored by Your Majesty. I will definitely fulfill my mission."
"Sun Quan was so impressed by Guan Yu's power that he thought day and night to expand his army to attack Jingzhou. If he goes here and can give him some money and silk to recruit troops, he will definitely be happy to form an alliance."
Lan Congxi's face was full of respect and he said: "Among the six dynasties, only our Song Dynasty has strong financial resources. This is the way to govern the country with kindness. If the officials can get help from each other, it will be a blessing to the world."
Cai Jing looked lonely and sighed, "Do you think I don't want to strengthen the country and have elite soldiers? But Your Majesty doesn't like it. His Majesty spends a lot of money. Without money, I will be the prime minister in three years. Yufeng Tycoon... Haha, if you let me go,
If you use your hands and feet, it will only take a few years. Why do we, the Song Dynasty, need to form an alliance with others!"
These words were a bit heartbreaking. Lan Congxi pretended not to hear them and kept pouring tea.
He is Cai Jing's confidant. Even if he is not, Cai Jing is not afraid of him snitching.
Today, even if I knew about it, I would probably laugh it off.
Cai Jing has been assisting Zhao Ji for so many years, and he has long seen through that his majesty may seem absurd, but he is actually extremely intelligent.
He is very proficient in his power play, and he is also a pawn of his. As for the love between the king and his subjects, there is almost no love between him and his subjects.
His Majesty is romantic and affectionate, and seems to treat everyone well, especially those around him, but in fact he only cares about himself.
His favorite Emperor Maode was captured by Fang La. His Majesty was worried that she would be humiliated and the news would be detrimental to the majesty of the royal family. He actually asked Beidou to find an opportunity to get rid of the Emperor...
Human beings are so ruthless that this...
Cai Jing has been really tired these years. He earned astonishing wealth for the Song Dynasty, but half of it was spent on the emperor's extravagant enjoyment.
Villas, gardens, and high-rise buildings were built everywhere. Many emperors only visited once, but they still asked for new ones to be built.
There are also Shenxiao Palace and Daxiangguo Temple, but they are not fuel-efficient lamps. The Song Dynasty has been in turmoil for many years. Emperors have changed one after another, and there have been scandals such as candle shadow shaking red.
Within the Six Dynasties, although the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were the smallest, they were extremely capable of fighting. The surrounding barbarians obeyed. If the three of them hadn't been fond of engaging in internal fighting and fighting each other, the situation in the world would not have been very good.
The Tang Dynasty is recognized as the most powerful country, with a cloud of fierce generals, a rain of counselors, and wise kings. However, the power of the nobles is a bit too strong, and the most serious thing at the moment is internal fighting.
There were no gentry clans in the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, but they also had their own troubles.
In the Song Dynasty, the emperor was fatuous, frivolous, and indulged in pleasure. In the Ming Dynasty, the officials were too selfish and formed cliques for personal gain. This made both dynasties somewhat powerless and unable to suppress the surrounding barbarians.
Cai Jing sighed, no matter it was the Song Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, the main reason was that the founding emperor and those virtuous ministers and generals died too quickly.
There is no successor!

"To untie the bell, you must tie the bell. If you are really afraid, just go to southern Xinjiang."
Da Qiao saw Li Yu frowning all day long. He didn't know why, but he felt a little distressed.
Maybe it was Li Yu Tiantian's sister. She called her like a sister, showing a hint of sibling affection.
"To put it lightly, I have never been to Southern Xinjiang. There are wizards everywhere, and it is too dangerous. And there is no guarantee that I will be able to find one who can cure my curse."
Da Qiao curled his lips and said angrily: "Isn't it just a matter of finding a map?"
"map?"
"When the Han Dynasty was prosperous, it sent countless capable men and strangers to travel around the world and draw maps. Although it is divided into six dynasties and stands side by side, maps can be found everywhere."
Originally, maps were important national secrets and were not exposed to the public. However, there are too many capable people in this world, so these are meaningless. Strong people can even easily change the terrain.
Because of this, maps have become a common thing, mostly bought by caravans to avoid getting lost when doing business.
Li Yu patted his butt, stood up and walked out.
"Where are you going?"
"Buy a map!"
"Are you going out like this?" Da Qiao looked at him funny.
Li Yu slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot, Lian'er, come here!"
Pan Jinlian, who was practicing Kung Fu, came over excitedly and touched the sweat on her forehead, "Brother Li Yu, did you call me?"
"Go and buy a copy of all the maps in the bookstore!"
After half a stick of incense, Li Yu came to the study, looked at the thick pile, and opened it excitedly.
"This is Southern Xinjiang?"
Li Yu looked at the map and was extremely shocked. The size of the Six Dynasties was far beyond his imagination.
These six countries almost all retained their original territories and were spliced together, which means they were six times as big as the unified Central Plains Dynasty.
Areas that overlap each other become different cities. For example, there is Jiankang in Soochow, and Jinling in Ming Dynasty. Chang'an in Tang Dynasty, and Jingzhao Mansion in Song Dynasty.
And Southern Xinjiang is actually bigger than the Six Dynasties!
But they are also more dispersed, with more than 600 large and small forces.
Below are the notes left by the people who drew the map:
Southern Xinjiang is mountainous, the folk customs are fierce, the miasma is pervasive, and evil ways are common.
This sentence made Li Yu retreat and take a trip to southern Xinjiang. Maybe the old curse was not removed and a new one was added, which would be called crying without tears.
Da Qiao was lying on the couch in the study, with his slender calves crossed and kicking his deerskin boots back and forth. He held a map in his hand and asked with a smile: "What, are you scared?"
"A bit..." Li Yu replied honestly.
He rolled his eyes and asked: "Sister Da Qiao, if I go to southern Xinjiang, will you accompany me?"
"No." Da Qiao replied immediately without any hesitation.
Li Yu's face fell. Although he had never planned to go, he was still a little disappointed now, "Why?"
"I have to wait here until my sister escapes. She knows I'm in Bianliang. If I leave, she won't be able to find me when she escapes."
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are in Jiangdong, and they want to escape. Who would believe it?
Li Yu had some gossip and asked: "You are in Jiangdong..."
A map flew over, but Li Yu avoided it with ease. Da Qiao said angrily: "Don't ask!"
Da Qiao became a little irritable when he talked about his sister. She had been waiting in Bianliang for too long.
Jiankang is a land of tigers and wolves, with a turbulent and strange palace, rivers of blood flowing at every turn, and a shocking conspiracy.
"Who can take my little sister to escape from that place of right and wrong..."
