Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Idle is also idle

When the aftermath of the Great Song Dynasty was not over, and even bigger turmoil was brewing, Xixia was calm and peaceful. In the scorching summer, Yang Hao and his whole family rushed to Qingtong Gorge to escape the summer heat and have fun. His lovely wife and beautiful family members, loving sons and daughters, are very happy.Nvying's second child gave birth to a little princess. These two little princesses have inherited the advantages of their mothers. They have beautiful makeup and delicate features. When they are young, they are the embryos of beauties. When they grow up, they will be the beauties of disaster.

The capital city of Xingzhou is still under construction. Although the original Xingzhou was also a relatively large city, it looked a bit shabby as the capital of a country. Today's capital is rectangular, with a circumference of eighteen miles and a moat ten feet wide. , leading the water of the Yellow River to pass around the city, and set up a city gate in the east, west, north, south, and north. The city wall is five feet high. According to the terrain, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Yang Hao made great efforts to build the capital here, build the capital, build the palaces and palaces of the city, and the land of the clan community, and his momentum is very large.Just as Zhao Kuangyin said to his officials when he wanted to move the capital to Chang'an City, which was already in decline, as long as a place does not have the conditions for prosperity, setting its capital here and gathering all princes and generals here is enough to make it prosperous.This is true for Xingzhou, which has never been prosperous before, and it is also true for Chang'an.

Take the stone city of Nanjing as an example, it has also been brilliant.However, with the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Li Yu's resistance, Jiangnan has tended to decline in just a few years. After the decline, Suzhou and Hangzhou sprang up in the south of the Yangtze River in just a few decades and became the representative of the south. The prosperity and prosperity can be called heaven and earth.However, once Zhu Yuanzhang established Jinling as his capital, it didn't take long for Jinling's prosperity and status to surpass Suzhou and Hangzhou again. Although Xingzhou has only been established as a country for less than half a year at this moment, there are tall buildings and merchants gathering everywhere, and it has already surpassed Xiazhou.The powerful and dignitaries build houses here, the merchants set up shop and do business here, and those with more financial resources than the officials and gentry are the religious circles.The Roman Orthodox Church built a large church here, and Talib immediately erected a tall building aggressively opposite the cathedral. With these two temples as the center, they will also build residences and courtyards, followed by their own country. Many merchants bought houses and land nearby, and correspondingly, taverns and shops with the style of the country sprung up like mushrooms after rain, forming two large districts in terms of planning.

Foreign monks recite scriptures so fiercely, how can local monks show weakness?Therefore, the eminent monks and living Buddhas of the Mahayana and Hinayana sects of the Esoteric Buddhism also spared no effort. Jietan Temple, Gaotai Temple, Chengtian Temple, Wanfo Temple..., temples rose from the ground, and they naturally drove the rise of Xingzhou's economy. The capital of a country, a huge city, its construction is not a small expenditure for any country, especially for Xixia, which has just established a country and its background is still shallow. Therefore, Yang Hao made great efforts to build the capital. From the point of view of any party, it can be confirmed that his ambitions stop here, because Xingzhou is only the center of the Hexi states, even if the territory is expanded by half, this place is not suitable for a country's capital.

Zhao Guangyi has no intention to focus on Hexi now, and this information makes him feel more at ease about Hexi. Under such circumstances, Yang Hao's life becomes more comfortable and leisurely. Yang Shan and Yang Xue are flapping grasshoppers in the grass, and little Yang Jia is wearing crotch pants, sometimes stumbles after her sisters, and sometimes babbles and tells stories to Lao Tzu who is fishing. The youngest daughter is still in her mother’s arms While breastfeeding, the warm sun shone on her face, she closed her eyes and sucked vigorously.A warm picture, full of family happiness.

However, in the eyes of Yanyan, Wawa and Miaomiao, this family happiness is somewhat unpleasant, really unpleasant.Speaking of which, they are not too old. Yanyan and Miaomiao are only in their early twenties, and the doll is a few years older than them, but they are not past the best childbearing age. Now that they have no children, Yang Hao is not in a hurry. Life is good, besides, the high mortality rate of children in that era was not only affected by the medical conditions and sanitary conditions at that time, but another important factor was that the mothers were young and their bodies were not yet fully developed. It has not yet expanded, and once it is born, not only the child is in danger, but often both the mother and child will suffer.

But the emperor is not in a hurry, the empress is in a hurry. For Yanyan and the others, it is a big deal to have no children in their early twenties. Dong'er and Nvying have two children, let alone pick and choose now. If you want a boy, even if you have a girl, it would be nice, but you can't live up to your expectations.Seeing those lively children, and the mother who was chasing her own flesh and blood with contented eyes, the eyes of the three young women who looked like they were young and delicate were like a pool of spring water. But they can't blame Yang Hao's head. The birth of Dong'er and Nvying proves that there is no problem with the officials. Speaking of which, the number of times Langjun and them are lingering in love and hard work is no less than Dong'er and Nvying. , I don't live up to it, who can blame?So not only did they dare not blame Yang Hao, but they felt a little guilty. If a woman marries a man, she is a husband and a child. If she cannot pass on incense to others, she is a substandard wife. So they feel guilty in front of Yang Hao. They have low self-esteem in front of Donger and Nvying. During this period of time, they were originally the most lively temperaments, but they are more like women than Donger and Nvying's originally reserved and gentle temperaments.

Yang Hao understood their thoughts to some extent, but they would not reveal their emotions too much in front of Yang Hao. Yang Hao didn't know that they had already taken on such a heavy heart, so a few words of enlightenment would be enough. At this moment, Yang Hao is sitting side by side with Cheng Shixiong, who is stationed in Qingtongxia. The fishing line hangs down from the high cliff into the rushing river. Just now I told my son a story about kitten fishing perfunctorily, I slapped my son’s slippery butt twice affectionately, and asked Xing’er to take him to play with brother Cheng Bao’er, then turned around and said to Cheng Shixiong: “ Brother Cheng, the newly recruited soldiers, I heard that the drill is very hard."

Cheng Shixiong said with a smile: "Someone must have sued the king? Hehe, many wealthy families, dignitaries and ministers have sent their nephews here. They are shrewd, and military merit is the fastest way to get promoted. If you want to keep your family from falling down, you must have someone who is an official in the family. And this time, I am patrolling the future palace guards. There are not many opportunities for them to personally perform dangerous missions. It is a good idea. My old man Cheng Ke doesn't care what kind of young man they are at home, since he is under my command, he must be treated as a qualified soldier. Otherwise, get out as soon as possible, and you won't ruin my old Cheng's reputation."

Yang Hao nodded and said: "Well, the tribes in the northwest are rough and fierce, and they advocate force. Only those who are stronger than them will willingly surrender. I have today, not because of the benevolence that those great Confucians preached for me. They were beaten down with fists. If we want to stand firm, of course we must maintain the tyranny of force. But when it comes to force, most of the tribes in the Northwest are nomads. They ride and shoot since childhood, and they are brave. The choice of the palace guards is mainly Han. We Han are good at farming. A big step too late.Strictly organized and rigorously drilled soldiers are no match for those men who live on horseback.If you want to become an elite teacher who surpasses them, of course you have to work harder.

Of course, this time the training is for palace guards, so it is not easy to send them to the front line. We Han people have the advantages of Han people, such as being good at attacking and defending cities, being good at making and mastering various offensive and defensive weapons, and being good at building city fortresses. These are our strengths. Moreover, the world is not all plains and grasslands where a horse can gallop. These strengths are very useful, and their strengths should be brought into play. " Cheng Shixiong smiled when he heard this: "With your words, I feel at ease. Don't worry, my lord, even if what I handed over to me is a herd of sheep, what I handed over to my majesty must also be a herd of tigers and wolves." Yang Hao smiled slightly, turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?" There was already a servant standing beside him bowed. Seeing that the king was having a lively conversation with General Cheng, he dared not approach him five steps away. Seeing Yang Hao's inquiry, he tiptoed a few steps closer and whispered to him. Without saying a word, Yang Hao suddenly stood up and said, "Quick, bring him to see me immediately." After a while, a man in black with strong steps rushed over, bowed to Yang Hao, and after talking for a while, Yang Hao's face suddenly became gloomy.After more than a year of full preparation, he mobilized several of his most capable generals, and the resourceful Zhe Ziyu was in charge, but the rescue failed unexpectedly. Not to mention, the whereabouts of Zhe Ziyu, Ding Yuluo, Gou'er, and Zhu Yun are all missing, and now the many passes are still tightly sealed, and the secret agent Fei Yu who reported the news did not know how many tricks he used to return safely to Hexi News, they...are they safe now? Originally, Yang Hao didn't want to send his sister to Bianliang. In his mind, Zhu Yun and Gou'er were the best candidates. These two people are very skilled in martial arts, and even if they fail, they can escape unscathed. But when they heard about this plan Afterwards, Yuluo insisted on presiding over the matter. Yang Hao knew that his sister wanted to find a chance to meet her sweetheart. Now he dominates one side and becomes the king based on the territory, unless he is fully trusted by Song State, or the Luo family abandons him in Bianliang. It can be said that the marriage date of his sister and Luo Kedi is far away, and there is an uneven gap between the two.Seeing that she was so young, Yang Hao couldn't bear to refuse, so he let her go. And Zhe Ziyu, because Yang Hao is pretending to be suspicious of Zhejia, even if he stays in Xingzhou, it is inconvenient to stay with him for a while, and because Yang Hao exchanged the jade seal for Zhejia's family, he intends to complete this for him. Wishing, I rushed to Bianliang, who knows... Yang Hao's heart was heavy, and he regretted and hated at the same time. Cheng Shixiong was originally from the Zhe family lineage, and he was familiar with Zhe Ziyu. He was very worried when he heard it, but he saw Yang Hao's face , or spoke out to persuade: "Your Majesty, don't worry, since there is no news about them now, it means that they have not fallen into the hands of the imperial court. It must be because they see the tight blockade of roads and roads, and they are temporarily avoiding the limelight." Yang Hao forced a laugh, and had no leisure for a while.He just wanted to go back as soon as possible, and arranged Feiyu secret agents to find out the whereabouts of Yuluo and Ziyu. He walked up to Nvying, and Yang Hao took the sleeping little daughter from her arms, saying: " Let's go, let's go back." Yanyan and Miaomiao just came back from picking flowers on the other side of the hillside. Seeing that they were about to leave, Yanyan rushed to pick up the little princess: "Officer, let me come." Yang Hao was in a state of confusion, shook his head and said, "I'll just hold it, go back quickly, I have something to do." Yanyan hugged him for a while, and seeing Yang Hao's gloomy face, his already sensitive heart suddenly felt sore, and he silently followed behind him, never speaking again. After hurriedly walking back for a while, Dong'er approached Yang Hao and said in a low voice, "Officer, what's the matter?" "Huh? What's the matter?" Yang Hao turned his head in surprise, only to see Yanyan was quietly wiping away tears with his sleeve, Wawa and Miaomiao were beside him, looking concerned.Yang Hao turned back to Yanyan and asked, "What's wrong?" Yanyan shook her head with a nasal voice: "It's okay." "What's the matter, tell me." Yanyan lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Is it... that people can't bear children for officials, so that the officials will turn away?" Yang Hao wondered: "Why are you thinking wildly again, if you don't give birth, you won't give birth, what's the big deal, when did I despise you because of this?" Yanyan said faintly: "In the first place, it's not like I can't feel it, who makes me incompetent..." Yang Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he was full of thoughts at this time, seeing Yanyan's unreasonable grievances, he felt angry and funny, he put the child into Yanyan's arms, and hummed: "Here, hold it, you girl , I don’t know what I’m thinking about with my head all day long, and if I don’t give you anything to do for a few days, I start thinking wildly. When I have free time, I will discipline you, and you two!” Yang Hao glared at Wawa and Miaomiao: "It's fine if you don't know how to persuade her, but she keeps meddling along, don't you know that this girl is so stubborn?" At this moment, someone shouted in the distance: "Who is it? Stop! Ouch..." I saw six women fluttering their sleeves, flying towards them like immortals in the sky, the guards scattered around stood up their weapons and stepped forward to block them, but they fell backwards with a flick of their sleeves, almost without touching their feet Dust moves like flying, and his martial arts are really unfathomable. "Protect the king!" The shadow guards flashed one after another. These iron guards are all good at martial arts. Although they are far inferior to those six women, they are better than the crowd. Yang Hao quickly stood up in front of three rows of guards. Everyone drew their swords out of their scabbards, like a copper wall and an iron wall. , All the guards on both wings set up their arm crossbows and opened their hard bows. Such a dense rain of arrows, even if the six women have invulnerable shields, they may not be able to stop the sharp arrows that specialize in one point. "Stay back!" Yang Hao shouted suddenly, those shadow guards were all well-trained, although they didn't know where to go, they knew how to do what they were ordered to do, even though they saw the six people flying over, they immediately withdrew to the left and right to make way. "Master!" Nvying screamed, and flew up to meet her. Yang Hao also walked up to meet him quickly, and from a distance he saw the first person, dressed in a green robe, with a jade hairpin in a bun, bright eyes and bright teeth, charming and charming, he was Master LV Dongbin's double cultivation partner, Daoist Jing Yin. "Master Jingyin, why are you here?" Those six people stopped in front of Yang Hao, looking around, all six women were all beautiful, and the beauty of the other women was absolutely not inferior to that of Taoist Jing Yin. Taoist Jingyin looked at him, sighed softly, and said softly, "Yang Hao, your master Chunyangzi...has already sat down!" "What?" Yang Hao's shock was no small matter.
"Daoist Jingyin, Master has passed away. As Master's great disciple, Yang Haoyin has the responsibility to take care of the elders. Please stay in Xingzhou, so that Yang Hao can fulfill his filial piety." Surprised to hear that Lu Dongbin had passed away, Yang Hao was saddened. Although the master and him had not been together for so long, they still had a very deep relationship. Lu Dongbin's Taoist couples practiced on the Ziwei Mountain outside the Guan all the year round. Even though each of them looks like a young man, it is because the profound skills they practice can keep their beauty and longevity. In fact, they are all not young at all ages. All of them have practiced for more than one year, and their merits have been involved in good fortune, and they have even broken the door of life and death.The Taoist couple who accompanied them for a lifetime passed away. Although they miss and attach, they are not sad.They don't care about the customary rituals of ordinary people wearing mourning for the deceased, and their clothes are as usual. Daoist Jingyin shook his head and said: "We have lived in the mountains for a long time, and we are used to this kind of life. This time, we only came to bring news about your master... Your master said before sitting down that he has three great achievements in this life. No, he is happy in the mountains and forests, happy gods; the second is that since ancient times, he has practiced Taoism and taught disciples, passing on the fire, and no one has a chance like him; the third is that his great disciple who founded the mountain laid the foundation for the country and became the emperor. Your master... very I like you, although his lineage, you have the least inheritance..." She glanced at the five little Taoist priests standing respectfully at the bottom of the steps, and said: "They have inherited your master's mantle. Although the Taoism and Dharma skills have not yet been perfected, what is lacking is the fire. I want to hand them over to you." Here it is, I hope you can fulfill your duty as a big brother and take care of them for your master, okay?" Yang Hao said respectfully: "Don't worry, Taoist priest, even if there is no benefactor's death, the disciple will take good care of them and fulfill the responsibility of the senior brother. Taoist priest, are you going back to Ziwei Mountain? Disciple ask clearly, there will be some time in the future." In my spare time, it is also convenient to take your five disciples to visit the Taoist priest." Behind him stood Nvying, Dong'er, Yanyan, Wawa, and Miaomiao. Although it was Nvying who was directly taught martial arts by Jing Yin, the others were also considered to be Nvying's teacher, so they were naturally her disciples. Daoist Jingyin glanced at them, and said with a smile: "After your master sat down, our six sisters have closed the underground cave and burned the Taoist temple as a place for his slough. There is a place on Lingjiu Peak in Tianshan Mountain. The cave is a place I found when I traveled around the world with your master in the early years, and we will go there to escape the world and cultivate." After speaking to Yang Hao, she called Yanyan and Wawa again, and said: "Your master entrusted you to go to Yinzhou to teach you two martial arts, but in a moment of recklessness, you mistakenly took Nvying for you. You have learned from Nvying how to cast a tripod, but this is the only thing I have not fulfilled by that old ghost. Alas! Now that he is gone, if you want him to ask me to do something for him, I will not do it. There is no chance. Kun Dao casts the tripod, which was passed down to me by Dong Bin. Our six sisters each have their own martial arts, which are suitable for girls to learn. Is that little girl in the swaddle your daughter? If you are older, if you are willing, you can send her sisters to Lingjiu Peak in Tianshan Mountain, and we can teach each other all the martial arts." When Yanyan heard this, she immediately looked downcast, and said dispiritedly: "Master, I... I have been married to my husband for almost five years, and I have nothing to do. I'm afraid... I will live up to my master's expectations." Jing Yin looked at her carefully for a few times, and wondered: "In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with your body, how could you not give birth?" After thinking for a while, she smiled and said: "This is also about chance, it must be It's not time yet." Yan Yan sniffled, and whispered coyly: "Master, it's been five years, even if you hit the big luck, you should hit it once, but... never..." Although her voice was low, the women behind Taoist Jing Yin could hear them clearly, one of the beautiful women rolled her eyes and suddenly whispered something to Jing Yin, Jing Yin was startled, shook her head and said: "No, of course not. " Tang Yanyan was shocked and said: "Master, you said I shouldn't have it?" Jing Yin said: "Otherwise, I mean... there is one thing I didn't tell you, but even if I don't tell you about it, it's not a problem if you think about it." Yanyan asked: "I don't know what the master said?" Jing Yin said: "When you practice Yin and Yang, you can't conceive. You husband and wife... ahem, you won't share the same bed for five years, and you have been loving each other with the method of dual cultivation?" Yanyan was stunned, Wawa was stunned, Miaomiao was also stunned, the three of them were dumbfounded, they just stood there all the time, silently looking at this, then at that, and said in surprise: "No...it will... ..." It was Lu Dongbin's first time as a master, and he met an apprentice who was busier than him, so the martial arts was taught in a muddle, and many taboos and rules were not told to him, so there was a remedy for the art of joint cultivation with his wife and concubine by sending Jingyin Law.And when Jing Yin came, she only taught her martial arts, and also didn't tell her about the fact that she couldn't get pregnant because of the practice of double cultivation. Because cultivators like her and Lu Dongbin couldn't have children in the first place. Otherwise, after practicing for sixty years, they might have more than a hundred descendants?After fifty or sixty years, they only started to accept their first apprentice. What they heard from their master back then, many rules that are taboo to others but taken for granted to them, they never thought of it. You can lengthen the time to enjoy each other and refine your own kung fu, but because you need to always remember some methods of luck and breath adjustment, ordinary couples will think according to common sense, and they don’t use the double cultivation method every time they have a happy relationship. ,therefore…… Looking at the expressions of the three of Yanyan at this time, it is really..., this is really a good apprentice who is diligent and studious... Jingyin brought the news of Lu Zu's sitting, but inadvertently solved the deepest problems for Yanyan, Wawa and Miaomiao.In fact, among all the girls, Dong'er is the latest to practice this kung fu, and she is not very enthusiastic about it. She is shy by nature, and she doesn't want to do many movements and methods. The love and lingering love is enough, as for the practice of Shuangxiu Kungfu, the main reason is that women naturally love beauty, and want to keep their beauty and longevity. As for Nvying, it was because she had a special status before she officially became a princess. Every time Yang Hao went to see her, he had to sneak around. Staying there, so many times I can only let go of the means and love, and I don't have time to use this double cultivation method that can help sex delay.Poor Lu Zu's supreme profound art of retaining beauty and eternity and refining inner strength has been used by Yang Hao, Tang Yanyan, Wa'er, Miao Miao, the most brilliant room art. Yang Hao has no scruples when he and these three beloved wives are together. These three people are lively, cheerful and generous by nature. In their hearts, because their status is not as good as Dong'er, they have the idea of ​​flattering and inviting favors. There is no need to combine yin and yang to practice exercises, in an attempt to make your husband feel refreshed and ecstasy.So... "So that's the case! It's so!" Once the six Taoist priests Jingyin were sent away and Yang Hao's juniors were settled, Yanyan, Wawa, and Miaomiao stared at Yang Hao with fiery eyes. Those unscrupulous and greedy eyes were like a female fairy seeing Tang Monk's flesh. Yang Hao was terrified when he saw the situation. If he hadn't been worried that he would still be in front of the public, the three girls would drag him into the room and take turns to rectify the Fa. It takes one arrow to hit the target. At this moment, the rescuer came.The dog fell from the sky and rescued her Uncle Yang in dire straits.No matter how impatiently the three daughters of Yanyan were begging for a son, they did not dare to miss Yang Hao's business, and the dog was a junior who was barking at each other, so he couldn't teach the children badly, so the three daughters used Feiyu secret spy The highest-level code word was one level higher than the Yang Mansion's super code word, which implied that the three women would sweep the couch tonight and wait for the officials, so they avoided going out. Gou'er found Zhu Yun and rushed back to Hexi together. On the way, he met Ding Yuluo. Zhu Yun accompanied Yuluo. Gou'er came back first, but Zhu Yun was worried that Yang Hao would hear some news and couldn't find him for a while. Seeing their whereabouts, she was anxious and asked her to rush back to report. Gou'er told Yang Hao all the reasons she heard from Ziyu. Yang Hao was silent for a long time before he smiled wryly and said, "It's my fault, I wished to save her orphans and widows." Mother, but she forgot that in her mind, my face, Yang Hao, is just as unbearable as that of Zhao Guangyi's... Lide, meritorious service, Liyan, the three treasures handed down from generation to generation, Yongqing and Defang are children of people, how can they be willing to abandon them lightly, alas! This is because I have harmed them, even if I don't make a move, Empress Song and Prince Defang will not have a good life for a few more years, but..." He shook his head, and raised his head worriedly: "Zhuer took them to Japan to avoid the limelight? Does the Bianhe Gang still have some influence in Japan? The Japanese are brutal and brutal, and he brought two flowery girls with him. This... Alas, Ziyu really has the guts to go to a foreign country without you and Zhu Yun, two great masters." Knowing that the girls are safe and sound, Yang Hao was greatly relieved, but immediately worried about Ziyu and Yongqing, the impression of the neighbors in that island country was really not very good in his heart.He didn't know that those neighbors hadn't developed their wisdom at this time. Zhe Ziyu originally wanted to avoid the limelight there, but when she went there, she suddenly found that these neighbors could rule the roost with a thousand or eight hundred people, guarding a gold mountain but working as envoys for silver mines (the local gold-silver exchange ratio was 1:4 at the time) Left and right, in some places it is even 1:1), he really is a stupid person with a lot of money, 'honest and cute', if he doesn't take advantage of him, it's almost too much for God to see, so he is eager to try and make a silly neighbor for her future husband A little cheaper to go back.
