[The second update for the supplementary update. Next, please read it tomorrow morning.]

Farewell to the crowd who were sent to you on the shore, carrying three official ships from Lu Huiqing's family of hundreds, and gradually released the cables and went down the water.

But almost all officials from all over Luoyang City came to see you off and said goodbye to Lu Huiqing on the bank of the canal.

Looking back on the cold and cold reception I had when I entered Guanzhong a few years ago and passed by Luoyang, it seemed like I had a different life.

Lu Huiqing left Beijing that day and entered Guanzhong from Kaifeng. When he passed by Luoyang, no one came to greet him. After resting in Luoyang for a night, Lu Huiqing's family quietly set off early in the morning and quietly left Luoyang City.

At that time, he knew that there were countless Luoyang elders who wanted to see him in the down-and-out situation. The Xijing Censorate headed by Sima Guang was even more staring at him. As long as there was a little mistake, it would magnify the publicity ten times. If there was a little noise, a memorial of Lu Huiqing passing through the border and disturbing the people was handed to the emperor's desk.

Fortunately, Lu Huiqing has always been a military ruler, leaving no flaws outside. Even passing through the streets, he still quietly. After he left, many Luoyang officials didn't even know that he had left.

After several years, when Lu Huiqing returned from Chang'an, the situation changed again.

He is no longer the recent promotion of Wang Anshi, but a real hero. He defeated the Liao Kingdom and regained Lingwu. With this achievement, he could just fight against Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi, not only in the face of the court, but also against the other side.

With this credit, all the attacks he suffered in the past have become jokes. What else can I show off except to wipe out a traitor who jumped into a great god?

Moreover, the emperor was changed in the court.

The Supreme Empress, who had prejudices against the old party, would not even think of turning over within ten years. And the rich and literary people still have ten years to live? The money fell and the money was scattered. This needs more to be said. Once the favors were gone, the rich, the Wen family, and the descendants of the Lu family had to come over to please. Otherwise, they could still think about how many generations of wealth they would protect? They were not Han Qi.

There are six days left.

Four hundred miles from Luoyang to Kaifeng, you can finish it in one day. Single officials who take the post will take the land route according to their normal itinerary, and five days will be enough.

When taking the canal transportation, boating from Luoyang to Kaifeng, because there is little water and there is too much boating, it is impossible to sail day and night. It is always slower than land, and it takes one more day. But at least it is better than the other way around. It takes eight to ten days to take a boat from Kaifeng to Luoyang, depending on the situation.

But a hundred people in the whole family walked this road, especially in summer, it was safest to take a boat. There was no need to work hard or bumpy roads. You could get on the boat and safely to Kaifeng. But it was not possible in winter. Once it was frozen, the waterway would be cut off from Suzhou in Huainan to Luoyang.

Lu Huiqing had already changed out of the official robe that he had just left the city, and was wearing a slightly spacious Taoist robe, standing at the bow of the boat.

The official ship walked along the middle of the waterway, heading east along the turbid river water. At the docking point, the ships that were heading upstream from three to five, or at least two horses, were leading up along the canal.

There are too many horses. Lu Huiqing thought.

It was a few years ago that most people were taking official boats against the current, while smaller boats were driven by ships with bamboo poles.

Now, horsepower replaces manpower. Although it is not much faster, it saves much labor. It takes at least three or five people to overcome what a horse can do. If a laborer is not responsible for eating and drinking, he will have to be a day, seventy-eight. As far as Lu Huiqing knows, at least half of the savings are saved compared to horse materials.

Lu Huiqing felt this change deeply. Nowadays, there are fewer vacancies in the Guanzhong Post Station. Since the Hehuang border, the number of horses in the army and the country has been increasing, and good horses have also been seen. If in the past, the shoulder height of war horses could be four feet high, and they could be used in the army. Four-foot-five-inch war horses are often qualified to ride. Now, none of Zhong Yan's three mounts are less than five feet.

A floating light from the Western Regions, like brocade fur and tall and majestic physique, made everyone in the capital admire it. But a few days ago, before Lu Huiqing left Chang'an, four Dayuan Tianma were sent from Wang Shunchen. Each of them was an abnormal horse, with no trace of variegated color on the top and bottom, and said to be presented to the emperor. Among them, three of them were horses that could be used as stallions. In addition, there were more than 60 top-grade horses, either because of the variegated color or because of their slightly inferior body shape, but their shoulder height was not less than five feet. There were male and female inside. You can imagine how crazy the horse owners inside and outside the capital would be.

This is the benefit of the winner. Therefore, when Liao Kingdom went south and enjoyed it, while Xixia did not hesitate to continue to invade the people. It was because it could get satisfactory gains through war.

The Song Dynasty had to defend hard and devote 80% of the annual tax revenue to the army.

But those veterans actually said that this is not a problem, and it is the law of the ancestors, and they must be maintained forever. The short-sighted eyes of the literary and wealthy people can be seen.

Only by completely solving the Western Xia can we escape from the embarrassing situation of constantly consuming national strength in the mountains and fields, otherwise we will only fall deeper and deeper and will be unable to support it in the end. Many of the contributions of the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty were attributed to the Qiang people who could never be subdued. Too much national strength was consumed in Longxi, which forced the Eastern Han court to collect more taxes. In addition to the tyrant monarchs and treacherous officials, and finally another out-of-time natural disaster made the difficult court unable to support it.

Now, the several strategic and pacification envoys originally established to resist the Western Xia have to be gradually revoked. Most of the hundreds of large and small military camps in the mountains have to be abandoned. When the military camps on the Hengshan line are converted into military farms, the non-important part will be converted into a military farm fort. The military consumption of the entire Shaanxi can be reduced by at least 40%.

The imperial court has no idea about how to divide Xinjiang territory. Sometimes it was Yinxia Road, sometimes it was Ningxia Road, and sometimes it was Lingwu Road. In short, because of worrying that another Li Jiqian would be released, he wanted to separate the foreign tribes, but he could never find a suitable dividing line.

Lu Huiqing only found it funny. I gave a certain statement earlier and focused the main force guarding Guanxi on several strategic points. In this way, Shaanxi can develop with peace of mind. After decades of hardship, the people of Guanzhong should rest with peace of mind.

The focus of the military of the Song Dynasty must start to move north as soon as possible. The Liao Kingdom's national power is in decline because of Yelu Yixin, and there is no possibility of recovery in the short term. This is a good opportunity for the Song Dynasty to resolve its century-old enemy. Yelu Yixin is not young, and it is urgent to usurp the throne. Within ten years, opportunities will inevitably come.

Once the Liao Dynasty is in chaos, the Song Dynasty will never sit idly by, and Hebei will be the key. From this point of view, Lu Huiqing still prefers this appointment, at least it is much better than letting him continue to stay in Guanzhong.

If you can arrange the war preparations in Hebei, you will have the opportunity to become the commander of the Liao Dynasty in the future. I remember that during the war with the Liao Kingdom before, the Supreme Emperor once issued an edict to restore the King of Youyan. Lu Huiqing really wanted to know if he led his troops to capture Yanjing in the future, will the court give this king or not?

Lu Huiqing's lips curled up and she laughed softly.

The boatman who looked at the water on the bow of the boat looked back and immediately lowered his head again, wondering if he was scared.

However, the smile on Lu Huiqing's face soon calmed down again. This was actually a pleasure in suffering. If he could stay in the capital, he would willingly give his position in Hebei to Zhang Dun, Han Gang, or other people who were willing to guard the north.

He is about to enter Beijing, but he cannot stay in Beijing for a long time. Is there anything more annoying than this result?

If it were the Supreme Emperor in power, it would be fine. After many years of monarch and ministers, Lu Huiqing asked himself that he still had the chance to impress him, but there was nothing he could do about it, which was completely unreasonable. Sima Guang lost so badly at the beginning. After Lu Huiqing heard the details, even the thought of gloating was only at the beginning of the time, which was really inexplicable.

But Lu Huiqing was not willing to give up after he bowed down and gave up. Let's talk about this later, there is no change in the court.

Zhang Zihou will really follow Cai Que? Cai Que wants to be the only prime minister. Does Zhang Dun plan to live in the Western Palace for the rest of his life? Lu Huiqing doesn't think that Zhang Dun's ambition will be so small. Sooner or later he will have a conflict with Cai Que. Then, there will be a chance.

The only problem is Han Gang. It is Zeng Bu, who is as powerful as water and fire, and Lu Huiqing doesn't take him seriously.

Han Gang's hostility has nothing to do with personal grudges. Lu Huiqing doesn't think he has any old grudges that he can't tell. But Lu Huiqing also knows that as long as he insists on learning the new, Han Gang will never agree to return to Beijing. But Han Gang has the greatest influence on the Supreme Queen.

"A battle for Taoism."

Lu Huiqing didn't know whether to cry or laugh. When he helped Wang Anshi write the new meaning of the Three Classics, he never thought that he would be hostile and suppressed because of this reason.

It was not the time for the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the hundred schools of thought were contending. The competition among the scholars was not enough, and it had to be brought to the court.

Suddenly I had no intention of seeing the scenery again, turned around and returned to the cabin.

The buckets of ice in the corner of the cabin blocked the heat outside the door. I suddenly felt different.

The maid presented the frozen drink. Lu Huiqing took a sip. The cool feeling entered the stomach from the throat and the heat dissipated for a while, but the doubts in his heart could not dissipate.

When Han Gang saw that he was not like this, he would regard academic research as his lifelong goal. Why did he become so resolute in a few years?

Even before, Han Gang and Wang Anshi had almost turned against each other for the sake of Taoism, Lu Huiqing didn't think Han Gang and Wang Anshi would be the same people.

However, according to the news from the capital, Han Gang really bet on his future for the sake of Qixue. No matter how many solutions there will be to avoid the bet, Han Gang's future for the prime minister was eventually narrower than before.

Can Han Gang, who made such a bet, still be said to be a false statement?
