The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 552

But the enemies here are really different from Song and Jin. It's like you budgeted for a project, originally planned to build a skyscraper, but suddenly replaced it with a small one-story house, which will naturally greatly shorten the construction period.

He has already started coveting the land in the south. The first step is to destroy the Turkic people of Khwarazmo.

Turks, as a race that has been active in the grasslands for a long time, are not actually a single nation.It is the collective name of the ethnic groups active in the Mongolian Plateau and Central Asia in history, and it is also another important nomadic people in the northwest and northern grasslands of China after the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Rouran.

The Khitan, on the other hand, came from a single ethnic group in Northeast China in later generations. It was divided into eight Khitan tribes in the early days, and a unified Dahe clan alliance was formed in the early Tang Dynasty.After Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty set up the Songmo Governor's Mansion and gave it the surname Li.After the collapse of the Dahe Clan Alliance, the Khitan established the Yao Nian Clan Clan Alliance, which had been attached to the post-Turkic Khanate for a long time.

Now these two former northern enemies of the Han Dynasty are going to fight it out in the west.

The emperor of the Liao people, Yelu Dashi, looked down on this strange land with a heroic spirit and awe-inspiring look.

In Luoyang, the spring is bright and beautiful, and several officials gather here to drink among the flowers.

Today is to celebrate Yue Wang Yang Lin's joy of accepting a concubine. Yang Lin's current status is so high that he can be said to be powerful.

He himself is not a cold-tempered person, since he tried his hand at it and captured the hearts of two girls, he sent Lu Qian to write a straw note and take him as his concubine.

Yang Lin's status, in the Song Dynasty, as long as he wants to, it is rare that he can't get a woman.

Taking a concubine does not require that cumbersome process, even if it is a prince taking a concubine, it can be done within a day.Several officials from the Henan Mansion who had won the stage all came to celebrate. Yang Lin sat at the head, wearing a red robe, looking more and more suave, with a peony flower on his head very coquettishly.

The magistrate of Henan smiled and got up to toast. At this time, a postman came in a hurry outside and took out a secret letter from his arms.

After Yang Lin looked at it, his expression moved slightly, and then he received it in his arms.

"Small slaughter? But what's the official business?"

"It doesn't matter." Yang Lin knew in his heart, and he wasn't in a panic. He had set up defenses at the border, the offense was unknown, and the defense was foolproof. When these Jurchen Tartars crossed the Great Wall at will, they were gone forever.

He raised his wine glass and said, "Come, drink up this glass!"

After drinking, Yang Lin turned around and said to Lu Qian: "Send people who will only be Han Shizhong, Zong Ze, Yao Pingzhong, wait and see what happens, stick to the Great Wall, and attack head-on. When necessary, you can take the initiative to attack when there is a suitable opportunity. The general is outside, How can we rely on the instructions of the imperial court to fight a war, I guarantee that they will not lack logistics. If you fight well, you will be rewarded, but if you fight badly, you will be replaced."

In the Huang Mansion, the two girls were together in the same room, looking at each other a bit unpleasantly.

Naturally, it is more convenient for Zhang Changqing to send his daughter to the Huang Mansion to welcome the relatives from the Shangqing Palace.

The two little sisters who used to be in the boudoir, now their braids have been broken up into a woman's bun, and the girl's fluff on Ruyu's appearance is being slowly twisted away by colorful silk threads.

This is called opening the face, also known as twisting the face, choosing the face, raising eyebrows, etc.It is one of the traditional marriage etiquettes. It is a ceremony in which the hair on the bride's face is twisted with twisted double threads, the forehead hair and sideburns are trimmed, and the eyebrows are trimmed for makeup.A woman only meets once in her life, as a sign of marriage.Most of the interviews are held by Quanfu people with complete parents and children or by the bride's sister-in-law.

Generally, some "opening flour" is rubbed on the girl's forehead, cheeks, around the eyebrows, the upper and lower lips and the chin where there is a lot of hair, and then take out the double-strand cotton thread prepared in advance and pull it into a clip shape. Repeatedly pinch the forehead, cheeks, lips, chin and other areas with dense hairs in sequence until the hairs are completely wiped.After such a "face-opening", the bride's sideburns are neat and clear, her eyebrows are curved like a moon, her lips and forehead are smooth and fair, and she suddenly adds a bit of beauty and looks much more beautiful.

After the face was opened, several women and servant girls came to help with makeup, and a woman who was changing Lingyun's bow shoes said with a smile: "The two girls are so lucky. The Prince's Mansion is not an ordinary family. I can get in. Look at this dowry, I haven’t seen such a decent one in so many years.”

After all, the two have been best friends for many years. After ignoring each other for a while, they couldn't help it anymore.

Huang Xuanzhi pointed to Lingyun's eyebrows and said, "After you fell here, you look much better."

"You are also quite handsome."

Once the two people broke the hostility, they laughed and commented on each other's wedding dress.

As they talked, the two of them started playing again, after all, it was the cardamom girl who had a happy heart.At this time, a woman opened the door and came in, took out a booklet with pictures from her sleeve, stepped forward to explain it with a smile.

Immediately there was no noise in the room...

In the Shangqing palace, Zhang Changqing's face was solemn, and several apprentices dared not speak.

I did the math for my daughter, fate is unspeakably precious, Yang Shaozai...

Now is the critical period for me to practice Taoism. If there is such a major event of changing the dynasty, wouldn't it affect my cultivation.The most hateful thing is that now because of Lingyun, he has fetters with me, no way!

Zhang Changqing stood up and said loudly: "Listen, I'm going to Qinlongzhong to practice penance in the southern mountains, so you can take a look at the Shangqing Palace."

"When will Master come back?" Several apprentices asked anxiously.

Zhang Changqing has already walked out quickly, leaving only Lang Lang's voice:

"I have been given a light move to cultivate Taoism in Zhongnan Mountain.

The Three Realms are all at your fingertips, and the five elements are at your fingertips.

The apprentice didn't know how to count, so he asked me when I would return it.

Nine days after being promoted, Huabiao will be 1000 years old. "

Chapter 6 Nineteen Yang Lin's Sadness

In Luoyang, the imperial envoy went to the palace.

The green willows hang low, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, surrounded by white walls and black tiles, making the courtyard quiet and elegant.

Yang Lin and the officials of the Henan Mansion had a drink, and then walked excitedly, through the moon gate, through the brocade garden, and there was a small building on the second floor. luxurious.

There is a red sandalwood ancient shelf on the south wall, on which seven or eight antique jade wares are placed, and dozens of delicate yellow and exquisite bergamots are filled in the blue and white platter on the side. with gold thread.

On the dressing table on the west side, there is a polished gilt bronze mirror. The jade man in the mirror has just put down the ivory comb in his hand, and lightly traced the red lips with a lip pencil stained with rouge. Cherry lips are even more charming.

"Lingyun, you are so beautiful today!" Huang Xuanzhi, who was wearing a bridal red shirt, said with a smile.

"How come, you are more beautiful." Little Taoist Lingyun was a little embarrassed, turned her head and said.

Huang Xuanzhi leaned forward and hugged the little nun Lingyun, and in an instant a pair of flowery and delicate faces appeared in a bronze mirror at the same time, the beauty was really superimposed and more than doubled.

Looking at themselves in the mirror, the two of them suddenly felt a little embarrassed. They turned their heads away at the same time, their faces were flushed, one was pinching the corner of the skirt, and the other was twisting his long black hair.

After all, Huang Xuanzhi was more lively, and she had gotten along with Yang Lin many times. She bit her lip and said with a smile, "Have you already taken a fancy to my cousin?"

Lingyun stamped his feet in embarrassment, and the two started chasing and playing again.

At this time, the door opened, and Yang Lin, who smelled a little drunk, walked in in a round neck shirt with a hairpin on his head.

One in each hand, he hugged the two little brides who were laughing around the table under his ribs, and the two laughed and kicked their feet together.

......

The little tabby cat was hiding in the sun under the tree in the yard, and suddenly heard the whining of a warbler upstairs, which was very clear in this quiet garden.

The kitten wanted to leave, but after a while, the voice gradually became lower, and then it slowly let go of its guard, readjusted to a comfortable posture, and continued to take a nap in the sun.

In the early morning of the next day, the barracks on the outskirts of Luoyang began to be cleaned up, and hundreds of guards at the gate of the city escorted a carriage out.

Luoyang officials bid farewell at the back, Yang Lin waved his hand, and then opened the curtain and entered the car.

The two petite and lovely brides in the car looked at him with a smile, Yang Lin laughed, sat in the middle, and said loudly: "Go to Chang'an!"

Chang'an County of Jingzhao Prefecture is Qin Long's confidant. It used to be the territory of the Chong family, but now... the current imperial court does not allow the generals on the ground to have their own territory.
