Chapter 263 Attacked

"Sage, the sign of expropriating a piece of land is to defeat the original enemies, but to completely assimilate the residents of this piece of land - either we assimilate them into Han people, or they assimilate us into Hu people! I see that many dynasties in history were invaded by foreign races, even in the worst period of the Five Barbarians invasion of China, the Hu people did not succeed in assimilating our Han people into Hu people. Why?!"

After hearing Wang Jinghui's question, Emperor Zhao Xu pondered for a long time and shook his head and said, "I know too, please teach me!"

"In addition to the areas where both sides live, they have created the same civilization, that is, our Chinese civilization is far more profound than the civilization of nomadic peoples! In fact, war is a necessary means to deal with nomadic peoples like the Dangxiang people and the Khitan people, but this is only a temporary solution. Once these nomadic peoples are revitalized in a few years or decades, they will be a nightmare for our descendants. To solve external troubles, it must ultimately be implemented to the origin of transforming them into Han people. Only by turning them into people with the same belief as us is the safest!"

"Haha, when Wang Jiefu talked to me about his beloved, he often said that his beloved is the 'outside king and the inner saint'. Since he is so interested in this, I will satisfy his beloved's request and go back and write a note and leave it to me to see!" Emperor Zhao Xu said with a smile.

Wang Jinghui bowed and said, "Thank you, Master!"

"Good Xier is almost three years old and is in good health. I want to hand over Xier to my beloved. I need Xier to grow up healthily. In addition, I hope Xier can be with her beloved and receive more teachings from her beloved and will achieve something in the future!" Emperor Zhao Xu's expression was very serious when he talked about his son Zhao Xi. In his mind, the child could survive because Wang Jinghui had the foresight to keep the two midwives he had personally trained by the queen. Now the child is in good health. It's the same as when he was young, he always gets sick. Although he is still very young, as the emperor, he can make plans for his future heirs. If a long-lived emperor like Emperor Renzong ends up with no children, what can he do?!

Wang Jinghui was the most trusted doctor in Emperor Zhao Xu. He saved Emperor Zhao Shu's life twice. Although Zhao Shu was still paralyzed in bed in the end, in Zhao Xu's eyes, his brother-in-law's medical skills were much higher than those in the Imperial Hospital. Leaving Zhao Xi to Wang Jinghui to take care of him was the best way to deal with it. Besides, Zhao Xi was almost three years old and could read immediately. He could grow up with such a knowledgeable and talented brother-in-law. At that time, Xier's blessing was, and Wang Jinghui was the emperor's teacher who liked the most. The prince-consort had no boy yet. He must give his all to train Zhao Xi from an early age. This is the best arrangement!

"The Master is worried too much. Xier is still young now. It's nothing if a child is sick. If the Master is relieved that Xier is healthy, I can pay more attention to this!"

"I understand my intentions. I want you to be Xier's teacher! In the past, Renzong lived at the imperial uncle's house when he was young. Today, I feel more at ease when I asked Xier to follow you!" Emperor Zhao Xu said.

One of the things that Wang Jinghui was most interested in after coming to this era was the history of the Renzong era. The legend of "The Crown Cat for the Prince" happened to Renzong himself, and the story of "Eight Virtue Kings" and Bao Zheng in the TV series. The emperor uncle mentioned in the words of Emperor Zhao Xu just now, Wang Jinghui knew that the emperor uncle was Zhao Yuanyan, the legendary "Eight Virtue Kings" of Emperor Zhenzong of Song!

After Wang Jinghui, he had a very high likes for the "Eight Virtue Kings" like in the past. When Emperor Zhenzong passed away, Song Renzong was only 13 years old. In addition to Emperor Renzong, who was the crown prince, the most popular one in the court was the "Eight Virtue Kings". For this reason, Zhao Yuanyan also lived in seclusion for more than ten years and expressed that he had no intention of the throne. He came to avoid the suspicion of Empress Dowager Liu, who was powerful in the court. There are great differences between the monarch and the ministers - the emperor's position is absolutely threatening!

"Sage, Xier is still very young now. According to the court rules, the prince should be about seven or eight years old. It is too early to consider these things now. Moreover, the queen is relieved to leave. Let's wait a little longer! My residence is far from the palace. I can arrive at the first time. There is no need to go to trouble!" As the prince's master. This is what Wang Jinghui wants. If he can train an emperor since childhood, the effect will be the best, but this "Eight Virtue King" is so easy to be, and it is best to keep a certain distance. Wang Jinghui still resisted not going to join in the fun.

Seeing Wang Jinghui's refusal, Emperor Zhao Xu also felt that it was a bit early to think about these things now. As long as the prince-in-law did not go to Jiangnan to live in seclusion, nothing would be easy to do.

On the fifth day of the third month of the second year of Xining in the Song Dynasty, far away from the outskirts of Kaifeng, the Song Dynasty established the "Fanxue" academy based on the letter from his son-in-law Wang Jinghui. On the same day, Emperor Zhao Xu also issued an order to reward Wang Shao and his Xihe naturalized tribes that depended on the Song Dynasty. In addition to the previous routine rewards, the most important thing for the reward tribes is that each tribe can recommend two to three tribes' children to come to Kaifeng, Bianzhou to study in the "Fanxue" academy for four years, and after the four years of study, these academies will become local officials of the Song Dynasty and will specifically manage the administrative affairs of the tribe!

On the same day, Sima Guang wrote a letter, asking to expand the scale of the "Fanxue" academy, and recruit naturalized tribes in the northwest to reward them. Together with the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, Wang Anshi, he could also open the Fanxue academy for the tribes in the southwest of the Song Dynasty, Dali, and all the vassal states in the Song Dynasty.

After the Song Dynasty was spread to Wang Shao in the northwest, Wang Shao promoted it very much. The tribes in Huangzhou, Guzhou and Xiningzhou were not happy about this and expressed their wish to serve Wang Shao, so that Wang Shao would seize and stabilize the Xihe strategy to achieve a final breakthrough. Apart from the Battle of Marjian, the Song army suffered minimal losses, but they expanded the territory for two thousand miles, making it the best in the Song Dynasty!

Then, under the instructions of Emperor Zhao Xu, the Song Dynasty sent about 300 "monks" to all the areas of collection. Many of them were elites from the former imperial guards who were temporarily shaved. After being "cultivated" by the son-in-law Wang Jinghui and Daxiangguo Temple, they brought a large amount of medicinal materials to various tribes in the Xihe area to promote Buddhism, spread Confucian classics, and treat patients with local people. In a short period of time, they were welcomed by various tribes.

In May of the second year of Xining, the Song Dynasty, after Wang Shao completed the task of collecting Xihe, the Privy Council wrote a letter to the emperor, demanding that Wang Shao be recalled to Kaifeng, Bian! After Wang Anshi and his son-in-law firmly persuaded him, Emperor Zhao Xu ordered Wang Shao to be the governor of Qin Fenglu, and Wen Yanbo wrote a letter again, but was rejected...

In June of the same year, the prince-consor Wang Jinghui established "Jimin Pharmaceutical Bureaus" in various prefectures on Lizhou Road, Jinghu South Road, Hubei Road, Guangnan West Road and Guangnan East Road, and reached an agreement with local ethnic minorities to exchange medicinal materials for cheap patent medicines. In addition, Jimin Pharmaceutical workshops were also opened locally, recruiting local women and children to produce patent medicines for generous capital. Jimin Pharmaceutical's move was praised by local people.

Late at night on July 19, a carriage pulled by two white horses slowly drove in the east of Kaifeng, Biandu, with eight strong soldiers escorting them. This was already a strange thing in the eyes of the people in the slums in the east of the city. People who saw the carriage knew that this was the carriage of the prince-consort of Xiao Wang, the most favored by the royal family. As long as they had time, Xiao Wang always came to the civilian clinic in the east of the city to see the people. They usually rushed back to the prince-consort's mansion in the west of the city late at night. They even lived in the clinic.

The sound of horse hooves stepping on the bluestone pavement echoes on the quiet streets. Although Kaifeng, Bian, is forbidden to have a midnight snack, the people here will not even rest until the early morning, but in this slum, poor families have been busy for a day and have no mood to have fun. They all rest early, and only when they get to the vicinity of Yu Street will it slowly become lively.

The prince-consor Wang Jinghui was sitting in the carriage. In the past few months, except for Wen Yanbo's letter to recall Wang Shao, nothing major happened, so he lived a very leisurely life. He usually went to the palace to meet the saints more often. In addition to accompanying his wife, he would go to Huaying Academy or the civilian clinic when he had nothing to do. He had not enjoyed this simple life for a long time. Although he had been seeing the patient for a day, he was still in a very wrong mood.

"According to history, the severe drought will occur in the Hebei routes next spring, and the locust plague will also come. After this disaster, he has made full preparations - as much as 300,000 stones of grain are stored in the Hebei routes, and even the Fourth Road in Shaanxi has reserved more than 100,000 stones of grain. From the Dading Prefecture, Xijin Prefecture, Datong Prefecture, Fengshengzhou, Hebei routes in the Song Dynasty to Kaifeng, the Bian capital, there is also a complete communication network. As long as there is news about the locust land in the Liao Kingdom, it takes ten days to get news. The Song Dynasty's disaster resistance system will start to operate. If Wang Anshi wants to be disturbed by the reform, he can only wear a pair of pants with himself and honestly provide disaster relief. However, the first one who is unlucky is himself..."

Thinking of this, Wang Jinghui curled his lips slightly - he had been working hard for many years, and now he has launched a rapid response network in the traditional natural disaster-prone areas of the Song Dynasty. In addition to the disaster relief system of the court, his own disaster relief network is even envious of Emperor Zhao Xu. In order to build this network, Wang Jinghui has invested more than 10 million yuan in succession! After Wang Jinghui's good mood was immediately interrupted by a scream - he was ambushed!

Wang Jinghui was wrong in guessing that his car was ambushed - although in later historical books, he only saw that Wang Gui had been assassinated like this kind of political assassination, and Wang Gui was able to escape because he quickly surrendered to his opponent - who did he provoke? Why did he enjoy this kind of treatment too!

The sergeant walking in front was shot into the heart by a crossbow arrow and died on the spot. The other fifteen soldiers were ashamed of being the guards of the imperial inner squad. Realizing that someone was assassinating, they immediately protected Wang Jinghui's carriage and waved the steel knife in their hands to shoot down the flying arrows. Wang Jinghui opened the window curtain and used the torch to see five or six people holding crossbows standing on the opposite house. The guards next to his carriage were fighting desperately to resist, but they still had their own colors on their bodies, and the situation was very wonderful.

Except for Wang Jinghui sitting in the carriage, the two brothers Ding Cheng and Pei Cheng were not injured because they were in charge of driving the carriage. In addition, they were not injured in martial arts. The other guards were injured by serious injuries, but they all gritted their teeth to resist. They were seriously injured and would die, but if something happened to the prince-consort, they would definitely live!

The ambushers did not expect the crossbow arrows in their hands to solve everyone. After firing two rounds, they threw the crossbow arrows in their hands aside. They pulled out the steel knife from their backs and jumped down, rushing towards the carriage. Their target was very obvious. As long as they could kill the young man in the carriage, they would be accomplished. Most of the others were injured, and they were their opponents. They had seen the white silver waves to them again.

"Pei Cheng, get out of here!" Wang Jinghui said loudly in the carriage.

After hearing this, the two brothers Pei Cheng immediately threw their bodies upright toward the side without thinking. Then they heard a "Huh!" sound. A short band was wrapped in a curtain of the carriage and flew forward. There were two rows of nine ambushers holding steel knives on the front of the carriage. A crisp sound of "Ka" broken sternum sounded, and the nine people who were running in front were immediately smashed back by the short band. The chest was very strange and deeply sunk, and three or four of their accomplices were brought down.

The few people who did not fall down on the front of the carriage were immediately stunned. Looking at the miserable situation of the low-couple hitting the person on the ground, they could simply believe their eyes - except for weapons like the catapult carriage. They thought of something in their heads that could cause such great harm to people. Their accomplices didn't even have the chance to call, and they vomited blood and died on the spot!

The carriage is so small that it is obvious that it can be equipped with a catapult car. The only explanation is that it is human - is there any expert protection around the target?! Such a bodyguard is really terrifying! The remaining eight people thought of this. Although it was summer, they were not feeling a little air conditioning in their hearts. However, the ambush who was brought down by the deceased immediately got up and continued to rush towards the carriage with the steel knife in their hands!

Wang Jinghui walked out of the carriage with a black short wooden stick like chopsticks in his hand and stood in the place where the two brothers Ding Cheng drove the horses. He really knew that after he encountered an ambush, he threw out the small short table in the carriage. He was very confident in his hand strength. As long as he hit the human, he would not have a chance to survive. What's more, this short table was made of good nanmu, and the weight was light. No matter how good the knife was, he could not break it. This basically sentenced the ambush to death.

The ambushers, who were only five or six steps away from the carriage, had seen the targets that they had seen countless times. Although the targets had such terrifying power, they still rushed up with red eyes. Hearing Wang Jinghui's reminder to fall down and make him throw a short triple, the Ding Cheng brothers who immediately turned over. Seeing the ambushers rushing up to death, they did not hesitate and pulled out their swords to prepare to face the enemy. At this time, the enemy behind the carriage had already fought with the guards.

With a "clang!", Ding Cheng held the enemy's sword. Although the opponent's sword was very powerful, Ding Cheng, who had been training for many years, felt it was difficult. When he was about to fight back, he saw the opponent's eyes emitting a ray of fear and falling down softly - a small hole as thick as a chopstick on his forehead was bleeding.

"Swoosh! Swoosh!" After a few sounds, five or six of the eight enemies coming from the front fell down softly, but Wang Jinghui's "chopsticks" were missing. With a "clang!", a quick-eyed ambusher blocked Wang Jinghui's chopsticks with a knife, but the knife in his hand was also shot down. Then Pei Cheng took the opportunity to fill it with a knife and died immediately.

Although Wang Jinghui usually runs around and even takes his wife to dress up and go shopping, he has never ignored his safety. Although he practices martial arts diligently, the most suitable weapon is chopsticks - with his own hand strength, Wang Jinghui has an extra pistol in his hand. In the close fight, as long as he has chopsticks in his hand, he believes that there are still people who can survive under his hands. Of course, he has no chance to try Eunuch Zhao's ability. Since the overseas trade fleet brought back the iron birch tree from Goryeo, the weapons in Wang Jinghui's hand have also been "upgraded". The "chopsticks" made of iron birch wood are more powerful and more useful. Wang Jinghui has always put the "chopsticks" in his carriage and has never had a chance to use them, but he did not expect that he would encounter assassination, which really prevented him. The "chopsticks" made of iron birch wood are indeed powerful.

After the remaining three people saw that their accomplices fell silently, their psychological defense completely collapsed, and they turned around and ran back, but they fell down without taking a few steps. After drawing the knife from the Ding Cheng brothers, they took the enemy's move. In a short time, all the attackers were killed by the prince-consort. This made the Ding Cheng brothers and the guards in front of them shocked. After this, the morale was greatly boosted. The people in front immediately came to the back of the carriage and fought with the ambushers. At this time, the prince-consort simply turned over to the roof of the carriage, and looked at the gap and was a chopstick to the attacker.
