In Zhaode Square, Yang Lin wore a blue silk and satin suit. The texture was very light and indescribably comfortable, but he was not in a good mood.
In his arms was his second daughter. She had just learned how to call people today. Yang Lin was so surprised that she couldn't do it. He carried her everywhere to show off.
Yang Tianxian also looked like him, and whenever he asked her to talk, she would call him "Daddy".
I have been on patrol since early February, and the emperor immediately approved it.
As a result, I have been preparing for it. It is almost March and it is not finished yet.
At this time, Yang Lin held the child and kept complaining to Song Jiang in the flower hall. Song Jiang smiled and said: "Young Master, please be patient. This tour is unusual, so you must be fully prepared. There is nothing wrong with you, so why rush it?"
.”
Song Jiang had just come out of the court. Without changing into his official uniform, he poured a cup of fragrant tea and pushed it to Yang Lin: "I wonder how the young master plans to inspect. Where to go first?"
Yang Lin came to the table, put his daughter on his lap, and said: "Gyeonggi Province is under my nose and there is no need to patrol. I will know if there is any trouble. This time I want to go to Hebei first. Zhang An came a few days ago
He visited me and said that the canal is about to be completed, and only the last section is left. Straightening the canal is a big deal, and I'm going to see if it can be opened to ships."
"It's better to take the Bianhe River to Qinlong and pass through Yunnei to Hedong. When the canal is opened, we can follow the canal to travel through Youyan, Hebei, Shandong and the Huaihe River."
Yang Lin thought about it and realized that what Song Jiang said made sense, so he smiled and said, "You think more carefully every time."
Song Jiang chuckled and said, "Young Master wants to take charge of the overall situation. Of course, we have to figure out these details."
Yang Lin thought to himself, this black guy looks like a rough guy, but he is actually the most considerate. Otherwise, how could he take care of the emotions of his brothers and make them willing to die for him?
Putting aside the fabrications of Water Margin, at this time, he was surrounded by people of all kinds from all religions. These people were willing to work hard for him. Even the barbarians in the Northwest Army were impressed by Song Jiang. This relationship
In fact, his ability has been cultivated to the extreme.
Song Jiang continued: "After the young master arrived in Lianghuai, we sent people to inform Fang Qifu of Dali and asked him to take control of Jiaozhi and prepare Zhang Boyu to step down. When the young master arrived in Lingnan, we asked him to take the Jiaozhi Kingdom with him.
Seal, go and offer your country, accept the land and return it to the Song Dynasty."
Yang Lin nodded and said: "I have been planning Jiaozhi for more than four years. It's time to take it back. If it's too late, I'm afraid Zhang Boyu's guys will kill everyone."
The internal fighting in Jiaozhi was unexpectedly severe and almost got out of control.
News came a few days ago that Zhang Boyu sent troops to surround Queen Lanying's natal family and wanted to kill all the Li family members.
Later, Queen Lanying didn't know what the messenger said to him, so she asked Zhang Boyu to stop and withdraw her troops in despair.
Yang Lin knew this very well, and he probably told Zhang Boyu about her relationship with him in a shy and humiliating manner. Zhang Boyu did not dare to take action no matter how murderous he was.
Jiaozhi currently has no army and is not allowed to build an army. All the troops stationed in Jiaozhi are Song troops.
These people hold their lives in their own hands, so how can they stand up bravely? How can they rely on a group of government officials and the army to fight?
"The Shaozai took back Jiaozhi, so we used the General Affairs Department to publicize it, and then called the thirty-six tribes of Wuman and the living Buddhas of Tubo lords and big lords to go to the city of Yangyi to pay homage to the Shaozai. After returning to Jingchu, the northwest Dangxiang and the Uighurs
, all the heads of Khotan’s tribes have arrived.”
Even before we usurped the throne, tens of thousands of people came to congratulate him, and hundreds of ethnic groups paid their respects. As expected, his reputation could be pushed to the highest level.
Song Jiang pushed the tea cup again and said: "After returning to Bianliang, all the Taoist masters in the world will come to Bianliang. Young Master, don't forget to say hello to these people in the Taoist temples along the way."
These subordinates have already thought about establishing Taoism as the state religion as the theoretical basis for usurping the throne.
Sure enough, it's good to have your own team. Yang Lin picked up the tea and his daughter came over. Yang Lin smiled, blew on it, and fed her carefully.
At this time, Li Yunniang came over from a distance and entered the hall. Seeing that there were guests, she behaved herself. Yingying bowed and said: "Da Lang, there is Li Ziqian from Korea outside who wants to see you."
"Li Ziqian?" Yang Lin didn't know why, but he smiled: "Let him come in."
After Li Ziqian came in, there were two strong women behind him, with big shoulders and round waists. Yang Lin immediately turned cold.
"I am a humble person from a small remote country. I have paid homage to His Royal Highness the King of Yue and met the Song Taiwei." Li Ziqian's waist was almost bent at ninety degrees. Yang Lin's face softened slightly and he stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man.
"Envoy Li, I don't know why you came to see me?"
"Everyone in the small country of Goryeo admires His Highness, and today I am here to give you a gift."
You are so direct. Yang Lin glanced at the two strong women behind him and was ready to let Lu Qian hit them.
Li Ziqian stretched out his hand and patted them. The two strong women stepped forward. Yang Lin was about to block them when he saw a box in their hands.
After opening the box, the jewels make the whole hall shine.
Yang Tianxian's eyes widened and he stared at the box. Yang Lin couldn't help but laugh.
This woman likes jewelry. It turns out that she has been interested in jewelry since she was a child. He smiled and said: "Your gift impressed my little fairy, so I will accept it for her."
Li Ziqian was overjoyed. Yang Lin asked someone to bring him a chair and said, "Envoy Li, sit down."
He was flattered by this and quickly thanked her profusely. In order to show respect, his butt only made one side of the chair, which was actually more tiring than standing up.
Yang Lin smiled and said: "Looking at the appearance of Ambassador Li, he is not far different from us Han people. It can be seen that we are all living in the same place, and together we should be regarded as a model of the vassal."
Li Ziqian bent down and said: "Your Highness does not know something. Although I am in Goryeo, I am actually a Chinese Miao descendant. My ancestor is the Li family of Longxi, and I am married to the direct daughter of the champion marquis. I..."
"Wait a minute." Yang Lin interrupted him and asked: "The Champion? You also have a Champion?"
"That's the great Han Dynasty's great Sima Hussar general, the champion Hou Huo Qubing."
Damn it. Yang Lin couldn't bear it anymore and cursed: "That's nonsense. Champion Hou died young and has no descendants at all. You guys, don't talk nonsense. Who can't spread rumors? Why don't you say that you are a descendant of our Yang family?"
?”
Li Ziqian knelt down with a plop and said loudly: "It is said that the King of Yue is the real Chiyang who descended to earth. I just found out today that you have already seen that we are from the same clan. After I returned, I changed my surname and recognized my ancestor."
Yang Lin really couldn't stand him anymore. Although Gao Li was gifted with skills, he was very good at hugging his thighs.
However, many Goryeo dignitaries were deeply influenced by Confucianism. Although they were dirty at heart, they were still skinny in appearance.
An alternative like Li Ziqian is really rare. Song Jiang, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, almost choked.
After shooing away Li Ziqian like a fly, Song Jiang said with a smile: "Young Master, this guy will probably change his surname after he goes back."
Yang Lin also laughed out loud and said: "If I really change, I have no choice. What can you do to a person who is shameless?"
"Young Zai, I think he's pretty good. The king of Goryeo, the Wang family, served Daliao for a while..."
Wang's Goryeo, after Youyan was ceded, became a vassal state of Liao Dynasty from a vassal state of Song Dynasty. In fact, after the founding of Goryeo, it once took the initiative to send troops to attack Khitan. In order to expand its territory, it can be said that
Very arrogant.
At that time, the Khitan faced the powerful Northern Expedition launched by Chai Rong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and suffered consecutive defeats. The whole country was panicked and frightened. Therefore, it condoned Goryeo's expansion and blindly tolerated and made concessions.
It is a pity that God is jealous of talents. When Chai Rong, the British leader, suddenly fell ill and died soon after he was conquering Youzhou, he was only thirty-nine years old. He only served as emperor for six years, but he almost changed the Han Dynasty against the will of heaven.
Life.
After Chai Rong died, Zhao Kuangyin bullied the orphans and widows he left behind, seized the kingdoms of the Later Zhou Dynasty, established the Song Dynasty, decided to go from south to north, and gave up the Northern Expedition to Youyan.
Zhao Kuangyin was also a hero, but compared to his lord Chai Rong, he was still far behind. In the subsequent Northern Expeditions, they failed to take advantage of the Khitan people. The Khitan therefore freed up its hands to attack Korea three times.
, forcing Goryeo to pay tribute to Khitan and become a vassal.
Yang Lin snorted and took a breath: "What do you mean?"
"It won't be wrong to replace him with someone who is more obedient, and he will definitely rely on us when the time comes."
Yang Lin lowered his head, pinched his chin and began to think.
Outside the workshop, Li Ziqian stepped towards the carriage and tore off the small flag with the word "李" on the carriage.
The driver of the carriage was shocked and asked, "Master, why did you pull down the flag of our Li family?"
Li Ziqian slapped him hard, and cursed: "From now on, we will be the Yang family, and my name is Yang Ziqian."
