When Emperor ningzong saw that Xinran and Zhao Yun, king of Yi, had arranged the table, he said, "today is the birthday of the crown prince. Let's have a drink with you to celebrate the crown prince's birthday."

When they saw the emperor raise a glass, they did not dare to neglect him. They got up in a hurry and said in the same voice, "I wish your Highness the best of luck and longevity."

Prince Zhao Hong saw that the Emperor himself and other ministers were celebrating his birthday together. He got up in a hurry and gave a deep gift to Emperor ningzong, saying: "it's not worthy of my father's birthday. I wish my father long live and the Song Dynasty will last forever."

Emperor ningzong said, "prince, you don't have to be polite. You are the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

With that, he waved his hand to let Prince Zhao Hong sit down.

He added: "today I'm here mainly to celebrate the prince's birthday. Another thing is that I read Xin Qiji Aiqing's" ten theories on Mei Qin "in the imperial study last night. It happened that Xin Qiji Aiqing's son also came to the palace. Xin Aiqing explained these" ten theories "for me. After listening to them, I really benefited a lot. I think this" ten theories on Mei Qin "is really a treasure of governing the country."

When Emperor ningzong said this, he turned around and asked the prince, "prince, you are the crown prince of the country. What do you think of this" ten theories of Meiqin "

Seeing that ningzong asked himself, Prince Zhao Hong quickly got up and said, "my father, my son thought that the rule of the country depended on his father's daily instruction. As for this" ten theories of Meiqin ", my son thought that the tenth" detailed war "in the" ten theories "had merits, and the other nine theories were empty talks of scholars

Emperor ningzong listened to the prince and asked, "why does the prince think so?"

Prince Zhao Hong said: "in today's world, the Song Dynasty and the Jin state are facing each other in the north and south. The military is the top priority of the country. It is meaningless to say anything else. Among the" ten theories of Mei Qin ", only the tenth" detailed war "talks about the general plan of sending troops to Jin. It may have some reference significance for us to send troops to the northern expedition after the Song Dynasty, so my son thinks that only this theory is acceptable."

After hearing this, Emperor ningzong asked Zhao Yun, "King Yi, what do you think of the ten theories of Meiqin?"

Seeing that emperor ningzong asked himself, Zhao Yun, king of Yi, quickly got up and saluted the emperor, saying, "father, my son thinks that what the prince said just now is true, but my son also has a little difference from his royal highness."

When Emperor ningzong heard what king Yi said, he couldn't help but brighten his eyes and asked, "what's your opinion? Let me and the ministers listen to it?"

Zhao Yun, king of Yi, replied, "yes."

Then he said: since the Song Dynasty moved to the south, there are only half of the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River. However, many good men of the Song Dynasty never forget to work for the imperial court to recover the territory and return my old capital, so Mr. Xin Qiji wrote down the "ten theories of Meiqin", which stated the grand plan of resisting the Jin Dynasty, saving the country, recovering the lost land and unifying China In fact, it is closely related and indispensable. In fact, a certain theory alone is not enough. Therefore, in the view of children's ministers, the first theory of the ten theories is to judge the situation, the second theory is to observe the situation, and the third theory is to observe the quarrel. As the foundation of the ten theories, it can provide a long-term strategy for the great Song Dynasty to the state of Jin; the fourth theory is autonomy, the fifth theory is to defend the Huai River, the sixth theory is to cultivate farmland, and the seventh theory is to be brave In other words, we must do well what the former nine theories say before we can launch the northern expedition against the state of Jin and win the victory according to the strategy of the tenth theory.

therefore, the "ten theories" is the ring All of them are indispensable. They need to be used for politicians to carefully explore the essence, not the form. "

after listening to Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, saying this, Emperor ningzong smiles. He seems to agree with Zhao Yun, but he doesn't make a final conclusion. Instead, he asks Xin Ran, who is sitting next to Zhao Yun," Xin Aiqing, you and I spoke freely about these ten theories last night. In your opinion, which one is better? "

after all, it was Xin Ran's first time to attend such an important occasion. When he saw emperor ningzong, he suddenly asked himself, and everyone was staring at him, a little nervous.

At this time, Xinran suddenly heard Chen Ming standing behind Chen Wenduan saying to himself, "brother, you don't have to be nervous. I think the emperor appreciates you and your father very much. Just say it according to your own meaning."

After hearing Chen Ming's consolation, Xin Ran took a look at Chen Ming. Chen Ming looked at him with a smile, as if he was encouraging himself. So, his nervous heart calmed down a little, and he also gave a deep gift to Emperor ningzong, saying: 'your majesty, the grass people have poor knowledge. If you say something wrong, please forgive me. "

" today's affairs are based on the facts, not on people. You don't have to be polite, Xin Aiqing, just say it, "emperor ningzong said with a smile.

Seeing that the emperor said so, Xin Ran said, "these ten theories are written by my father in the past when he traveled all over the world and combined with his own experience in managing government affairs. According to the following, it is true that, as Zhao Yun, king of Yi, said, the ten theories are complementary and indispensable. "

at this time, Emperor ningzong said," what Xin Aiqing said is in line with my mind. "

seeing the emperor say so, naturally, everyone agrees, saying that Xin Ran and Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, are wise.The prince was annoyed to see that his insight was not recognized by the emperor and the people. He got up and said, "the world of the Song Dynasty was fought by the emperor Taizu with a dragon stick in the past. If the northern expedition is to take place in the future, there will be no less people with excellent martial arts to fight for the country. Today is the birthday of our palace. How about the east palace guard to perform martial arts for us?"

Seeing that the prince was going to have someone perform martial arts, the prime minister Shi Miyuan stood up and said with a smile, "today is the birthday of the prince. I'd like to have the experts behind me perform with those from the east palace."

Then he pointed to the master of Tianxia sect.

The prince was dissatisfied with Shi Miyuan, and he was just trying to make a fool of him. He thought to himself: Wang Yongzhong, the leader of the east palace guard, is the eldest disciple of the Wudang leader. I'm afraid the people you sent can't stop him. So he immediately agreed to Shi Miyuan's request.

When they came to the middle of the living room, the leader of Tianxia sect said, "Wang Tongling, today is the birthday of the crown prince. If it's not good to use weapons, you and I will compare. "

Wang Yongzhong said:" it's so good. "

Wang Yongzhong was concentrating on his luck, and his palms went straight to the leader of Tianxia sect. The leader of Tianxia sect gave a little smile and put his palms on Wang Yongzhong's palms. As soon as their palms touched, Wang Yongzhong's face turned pale and quickly took back his palms.

The leader of Tianxia sect said with a smile, "commander Wang has accepted. "

after giving a deep gift to Emperor ningzong, he stood behind Shi Miyuan.

At this time, only Xin Ran could see that the leader of Tianxia sect used Shura Yinfeng Gong again. The leader of Wang Tongling could not resist the internal force of this cold poison, so he suffered a great loss.

The prince saw a situation and knew that Wang Yongzhong didn't take advantage of it.

At this time, the emperor ningzong saw that the prince had no upper hand in today's civil and military events. He thought that today was the prince's birthday and could not embarrass him too much. So he asked everyone to raise their glasses to celebrate the prince's birthday again, and then he got up and went back to the palace.

After the emperor drove back to the palace, the people took leave one after another.

Because Xin Ran was at the same table with Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, he went out of the gate of the East Palace together, and then he was polite to each other. After Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, got into the sedan chair, Xin Ran and Chen Wenduan and Chen Ming went back to Chen's house together.
