Fu Song

Chapter 455 Teachers and Students
Zhao An was lying on the desk, pulling a spherical toy with his hands.

This was given to him by the teacher yesterday.

The teacher said that this thing is called a globe.

Although Zhao An has always regarded the teacher as a heavenly being and felt that the teacher is omnipotent and omniscient, Zhao An still feels that the many unheard-of knowledge displayed by this thing are too unbelievable.

We live on this thing?

Why didn't it fall?

Maybe the teacher used it to amuse himself?
Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, Zhao An hurriedly stopped the spinning globe, then sat upright, folded his hands on the table, stared at the book with his eyes, and pretended to be engrossed.

Zhao An is ten years old this year.

When Wang Zhu took him away from Bianliang, he was less than six years old.

Many things in memory have been blurred.

I just remember that when I left, a woman cried miserably. General Wang Zhu said it was his mother.

What impressed me the most was the fire that turned half of the sky red.

The thing that burns is one's own home.

Then there is the ups and downs.

until you find a teacher.

I started enlightenment at the age of seven, that is, on the day of enlightenment, the teacher told me about my true identity.

He is the little prince of the Song Dynasty, but he is a descendant of King Jing who is known as the King of Rebellion, so his identity must never be revealed to outsiders.

Although he is only seven years old, Zhao An also knows what the words "Ni Wang" represent. The teacher dared to take him in. This courage is not small.

But the older I was, the more I knew, and the teacher never wanted to hide anything from me, so I finally got a rough idea of ​​what kind of person the teacher is.

No wonder the teacher dared to take him in without fear of the court's criticism.

Because of himself, he has become the rebel of the imperial court.

Since I turned ten years old, the teacher began to take me in and out of some important meetings.

As for my identity, I am not Zhao An, but an ordinary student next to the teacher. In the eyes of outsiders, this is the teacher's emphasis on and cultivation of me.

People who know their true identities can be counted with a single slap.

I just remember that at a very small gathering, the teacher asked me to salute several people solemnly, and those few people also stood up and saluted together.

With a slight cough, Zhao An turned his head, and sure enough, he saw the teacher walking in with a smile. He stood up quickly, lowered his hands and raised his eyebrows: "Teacher, are you here?"

Xiao Cheng nodded and smiled, walked in, and sat cross-legged across from him.

"Is there anything I want to ask today?" Xiao Cheng asked while reaching for the book in front of Zhao An and casually flipping through it.

Xiao Cheng's teaching to Zhao An is quite different from that of ordinary schools.

Those enlightenment-style educations are usually completed by other people, and Xiao Cheng simply doesn't have the time.If it wasn't Mr. Cen, or Luo Xin, Li Fang had also taught him for a while in the past, anyway, when anyone who followed Xiao Cheng in charge of the plot or as a staff officer, he would also teach the student incidentally.

When Xiao Cheng faced Zhao An, he taught in a question-and-answer manner.

Zhao An asked, Xiao Cheng answered, or Xiao Cheng asked, Zhao An answered.

Then Xiao Cheng explained Zhao An's doubts or incomprehensions.

Zhao An likes this teaching mode very much, it is easy and he can learn a lot of things that are not available in books.

For more than a year, I followed the teacher, went to various places, participated in various meetings, listened to various discussions, and found that many things on this land are different from what is said in the book. Not the same.

I also asked my teacher, did the sages and sages in the books say something wrong?

Otherwise, why didn't the teachers do what they said when they were administering the government?
Because Zhao An saw with his own eyes that the people in the land that the teacher is managing now seem to be doing well, at least much better than when he first came here.

I still remember when I first came to Guizhou on the road, what I saw was a piece of tatters and countless people who were not clothed or clothed, which was comparable to the miserable situation I had at the beginning.

But in the past two years, this situation has become less and less.

Every time I went out with my teacher in the past two years, what I saw was work at sunrise and rest at sunset, chickens crowing and dogs barking, cattle and sheep flocking, and those people who were still dressed in rough clothes had many smiles on their faces.

Needless to say, at least there are very few people with yellow, hungry and pale faces.

It's really hard to be hungry.

When I first fled, I was hungry.

Wang Zhu obviously has superb kung fu and a precious sword that cuts iron like mud, but he never follows them to snatch them. Unless someone snatches their heads, Wang Zhu will fight back.

Don't snatch, don't take, don't steal, this is Wang Zhu's principle.

So along the way, both of them suffered from hunger.

During that journey, although Zhao An was very young, it had a great influence on him.

It turns out that it is called the principle of life.

The teacher's answer is also very interesting.

He did not say that the sages and sages were wrong.

He just said, this moment, that moment.

The situation that the sages encountered at the beginning was completely different from our current situation, so the way of dealing with it is naturally different.

What we want to understand now is the essence and core of the expositions of the sages. That is the real good thing, which can be called the Tao.

The means to solve the problem can only be called art.

We follow what our ancestors said.

What we changed was the technique.

The times are advancing, if we stick to the old ways and stick to the old methods, we will definitely not be able to adapt to the development of the present era, and there will be troubles.

Therefore, we must move according to the time and move according to the situation.

The teacher said that some of the methods he uses now may not work in his own generation.At that time, there will naturally be new things and new means to replace him.

The wheel of history rolls forward. Although there will be twists and turns in the middle, it will never go backwards.

At most it's an upward spiral.

Under the condition of following the Tao unchanged, the means can be chosen flexibly.

"Teacher, is there any happy event today?" Zhao An looked at Xiao Cheng and asked.

Xiao Cheng laughed: "After all, Xiao An has grown up a bit, and knows how to read words and feelings. Today is indeed a happy event, and there are more than one."

Zhao An raised his face and waited for Xiao Cheng to continue talking.

"The first thing is a private matter!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile, "Your mistress is pregnant, and in seven or eight months, you will have a younger brother or younger sister."

"Congratulations teacher, congratulations teacher!" Zhao An was overjoyed: "No wonder the teacher is so happy."

Xiao Cheng laughed, Jiang Yingxue was feeling unwell today, and Sun Jing happened to be talking to Xiao Cheng in Guiyang, by the way, he asked this well-known national player to feel Jiang Yingxue's pulse.

"The second happy event is what happened in Dali!" Xiao Cheng rubbed his chin and said, "However, the matter over there is too prosperous. As for you, you only need to know that the matter is very beneficial to our Dali Song Dynasty." It will take a year or two at most before we can get it in our pocket, and the territory of the Great Song Dynasty will expand again."

Dong Xian broke through Shanchan Mansion, and more than ten troops rushed in.

One can imagine the fate of Shanchan Mansion.

Dali, the most prosperous capital in the past, has now been reduced to hell on earth.

The Gao clan was wiped out by the revengeful Dong and Bai clans.

Even Gao Yingxiang's wife and children in Shanchan Mansion were killed by the red-eyed allied forces.

However, Dong Xian hadn't gained a firm foothold in Shanchan Mansion yet. Gao Yingxiang, who almost went crazy when he heard the news, had led the frontier army to fight back. The two armies had fought several times outside Shanchan Mansion. But he couldn't get into the city in one go.

The coalition forces finally recovered, and Dong Xian immediately re-appointed a son of the Duan royal family as the new emperor, and in the name of the new emperor issued an imperial edict to all parts of Dali. Hearing the wind and moving, one after another raised troops and came towards Shanchan Mansion, the place where the wind and clouds gathered.

Don't say anything to help anyone, you can watch the scenery while walking, but if you don't go to such a big scene, you will definitely lose a chance to develop.

The whole of Dali has become a mess.

And this is exactly what Xiao Cheng wants to see.

Some teams promoted or even controlled by the Statistics Department Zhiqiuyuan were also mixed in and headed towards Shanchan Mansion, while the great monk Huiyuan still shuttled around, relying on his identity, wherever he went, no matter what kind of The army welcomes him very much.

In such a troubled world, perhaps only Buddha can give their hearts some sustenance.

"Teacher, is our Da Song really only this big?" Zhao An turned the globe, pointing Da Song's side at Xiao Cheng.

China is a country in the center, a country of etiquette, and the leader of the world, but on the globe Xiao Cheng gave him, it only occupies such a small area, which is much smaller than Liao Kingdom.

"The size of the country does not fully represent the strength of the country!" Xiao Cheng said: "Xiao'an, compared with the Liao Kingdom, our Great Song Dynasty has a much smaller territory, but why is our Great Song Dynasty richer than the Liao Kingdom? How many?"

"do not know."

"Here we're going to talk about the effective land!" Xiao Cheng explained: "The Liao Kingdom seems to have a vast territory, but you can see that deserts, grasslands, and bitter cold lands account for most of the areas under their jurisdiction, while our Great Song Dynasty , but most of them are fat lands.”

Zhao An nodded.

"The larger the territory, the more difficult it is to manage. Do you know why the Liao Kingdom implemented the Nabo system? It is because their territory is too large, so the emperor has to keep walking in some places throughout the year to improve the quality of life. To show their majesty, and at the same time use the army to suppress rebellions in various places, they have no choice but to do it! This way, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it will naturally convince the guests of the Quartet. The disadvantage is that they have never formed a real political center."

"The teacher said last time that the Zhongjing they are building will become their political center in the future. Because of the existence of Zhongjing, the strength of the Liao Kingdom will be further consolidated, and the threat to the Song Dynasty will be further increased." Zhao Andao.

Xiao Cheng nodded.

The Liao Kingdom built Zhongjing and used Zhongjing as the core to gather the strength of the five capitals.

This policy came from Xiao Chuo's hands, and this younger sister of his family is really not someone who can make him feel at ease.

Now Yelujun is patrolling the four directions to suppress the rebellion, Xiao Chuo is building a new city in Zhongjing, gathering the strength of the five capitals, and the cohesion of the Liao Kingdom has risen rapidly in just a few years. At least on the surface, the contradictions between the Han people in the country have been greatly resolved.

One thing Xiao Chuo is planning is to move the contradiction outward.

To put it bluntly, the Liao Kingdom is already preparing a war machine.

And the target, of course, is Song Guo.

After several years of continuous major changes, Song Dynasty, who has never recovered, has also felt strong pressure, but it is a pity that neither the current Dutang nor the current emperor has the ability to change the two countries. The fact that the power gap is widening.

Ma Xing on Hebei Road, with all his might, could barely maintain a defensive position.

With nothing to do, Ma Xing wrote to the imperial court, requesting that the imperial court rehabilitate Xiao Yu and reconcile with Xiao Ding at the same time. Even if Xiao Ding's position in the northwest is recognized, it doesn't matter if the Jin proclaims Xiao Ding the king of the northwest, as long as Xiao Ding can send troops to the Liao Kingdom In Xijing, it is enough to contain the Liao Kingdom.

But it was no surprise that Ma Xing's letter was reviewed by the emperor as nonsense and insanity.If it weren't for the fact that Hebei Road couldn't do without this important minister, Ma Xing would have been arrested and escorted to Bianliang for questioning.

Xiao Chuo's position in the Liao Kingdom is being consolidated step by step, and her strength is also improving day by day with the construction of Zhongjing City.

Even many important ministers of the Liao Kingdom who did not approve of her before have been convinced by her now.

The changes Xiao Chuo brought to them are obvious.

Yelujun suppressed his bowl in four seasons and suppressed the four directions. The affairs of the five capitals were basically taken care of by Xiao Chuo, and the essence of the Liao Kingdom was undoubtedly concentrated in the five capitals.

Xiao Cheng had already guessed what his sister was planning.

Once the Liao Kingdom breaks Hebei, the land of the Central Plains, there will be a lot of life, and it may be the end of Shenzhou Lu Chen.

So what Xiao Cheng has been planning desperately in the past few years is to expand his influence and strengthen his strength in the south. Once his premonition becomes a reality, he will still have the strength to launch a counterattack in the south.

Only by defending the south first can it be possible to gradually plan a counterattack.

It is unrealistic to think of a decisive battle with Liao on the open plains in the north in a short period of time.

"Teacher, if we defeat the Liao Kingdom in the future, these territories of the Liao Kingdom will belong to us, but how can we effectively control them? Is it because they cannot form an effective country, so we give up Don't you want it?" Zhao An asked.

"Of course not!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "When that day really comes, what we have to do is to use a series of means to turn it into an effective country."

"Become a valid country?" Zhao An frowned and thought.

"Yes, you can think about this issue carefully, and you can also consider it in conjunction with our many policies on Guizhou Road." Xiao Cheng said: "There are many barbarians on Guizhou Road, but now, they support us wholeheartedly. Can you generalize this? Xiao An, this is your next homework."
