    After traveling through time and becoming a native of the Song Dynasty, Wang Chen was quickly forced to plunge into the torrent of the times and led his army on the road to resist foreign invaders.  Since then, he seems to have been busy with these things and has not had much contact with other things in his life.  It can be said that he is not a complete "Song Dynasty person". He is very different from other Song Dynasty people. His ability to reach this level can only be described as a coincidence of luck and opportunity.  However, the big wedding in his life made him truly feel what it was like to be an "ancient person".  The complicated wedding etiquette made Wang Chen completely feel that he was living in the "real" ancient times, and also made him have a series of emotions¡ª¡ªgetting married is really hard work.  Of course, he had never been married before time travel, and he was not very clear about the specific process of marriage in later generations, but he had attended several weddings and had some understanding of the marriage process.  According to his understanding, the level of wedding elegance in later generations cannot be compared with that in ancient times, which also made him feel extremely big-headed.  The wedding process in the Song Dynasty was divided into six stages according to Zhou rites, which are called "six rites", namely accepting, asking for names, accepting auspiciousness, accepting invitations, asking for dates, and welcoming in person.  Every procedure is very particular, such as holding a wild goose and paying homage, occupying a servant in the ancestral temple, transferring a disabled car to the hall, and joining the prison together, which makes him feel headache every day.  He had no parents, not even relatives, and they had nothing to teach him.  Fortunately, many people from the Yu family came to help. After hearing the news that he was getting married, Zongze, who had not yet returned to Yiwu, also sent some older women from his family to help.  After nine years of hard work, the wedding was finally completed. Yu Ruoran, who had always stayed at the house, officially became Princess Fu, and her status was recognized by the world.  Because Wang Chen¡¯s contribution was great enough, during his wedding, so many people came to send congratulatory gifts that his palace was located on the street.  They were all so crowded that there was no room for wedding wine in several gardens.  Emperor Zhao Huan, Emperor Zhao Chen, King Kang Zhao Gou and other members of the royal family all sent congratulatory gifts. Zhao Chen even came to Wang Chen's wedding to officiate for the newlyweds.  Most of the high-ranking officials in the DPRK, such as Li Gang, Zhang Jun, Zongze, Zhang Suo, Xu Han, Qin Hui, Zhe Yanzhi, etc. also attended the wedding in person. Generals outside the country, such as Yue Fei, Qu Duan, Li Yanxian, Han Shizhong, etc. also attended the wedding.  Take advantage of the opportunity to return to court.  Attend Wang Chen's wedding in person.  Emperor Wu Qimai of the Jin Kingdom, Prime Minister Wanyan Zonghan, King Li Qianshun of Xixia and other foreign leaders also sent missions to celebrate the wedding and sent rich gifts after learning that Wang Chen was getting married.  .  This kind of treatment is really not something that ordinary people can enjoy.  After the wedding, Wang Chen received gifts that filled several large houses. ? But it¡¯s very surprising.  Wang Chen donated most of the financial gifts he received for free as military supplies and invested them in the national treasury.  As personal financial support for armaments reform.  Wang Chen took this as a call to encourage people with financial resources to contribute their own strength to the Song Dynasty's strong military without affecting the lives of their families.  Several years of war.  A lot of wealth was burned. Although the Song Dynasty was rich, there were continuous wars.  In addition, the damage to agricultural production caused by the invasion of the Jin people still had a great impact on the wealth and income of the Song Dynasty.  Although emergency recovery is taking place in various places after the Jin people were driven out, it will take some time for agricultural production to fully recover in the area north of the Yellow River. This vast area still needs subsidies and investment from the court.  In order to appease the people of the world, after the war was temporarily suspended, the imperial court not only did not increase the taxes on the people, but also slightly reduced the tax rate. There were also many places where taxes were exempted.  As for the reform of the government system to streamline the military and streamline administration, a lot of wealth needs to be invested. Wang Chen donated his family wealth, which set a good example and quickly raised a lot of wealth.  Although these wealth cannot completely fill the gap, they also play a role in filling it.  What's more important is that Wang Chen's reputation for high integrity has spread, and this move has earned him a very good reputation among the government and the public.  Some people even often use this to evaluate the integrity of an official, saying that if he can be like His Highness King Fu, who completely regards money as dirt, then he can be called true integrity.  Wang Chen ignored this. After getting married, he was still very busy.  He had to have a lively conversation with each of the generals who came to attend his wedding by returning to the court to report on their duties, and learn from their mouths the specific conditions of armament restructuring in various places, the situation at the border, etc., and make policy decisions for this.  Change.  Among these people, Wang Chen talked with Yue Fei the most. During the time that Yue Fei stayed in Kaifeng, he went to Prince Fu's Mansion almost every day.  In the evening, when Yue Fei ran to Prince Fu's Mansion again, he was dragged to drink by Wang Chen.  "Haha, Pengju, let's drink and chat together today!" Wang Chen was in high spirits.  "Your Highness, have you encountered any happy events?" Yue Fei knew.?Wang Chen is not an alcoholic. He will drink if he can. He rarely takes the initiative to find someone to drink unless there is a happy event.  Wang Chen personally poured a glass of wine for Yue Fei, and did not answer the other party's inquiry directly. He just asked with a smile: "Pengju, can your eldest son Yue Yun join your army now?" Unexpectedly, Wang Chen actually cared about him.  Yue Fei was quite surprised and answered honestly: "Your Highness, Quanzi has indeed joined our army, but he is still young, only fifteen years old. However, he is quite tall, has good strength, and is very skilled in martial arts.  Everyone is good. In a year or two, he should be able to charge into battle and kill the enemy. " "Give him a chance and train him well. I believe he will become a good general in the future!" Wang Chen, who is famous in history, naturally also knows about Yue Yun.  One or two, Yue Fei's eldest son seems to have gone into battle to kill the enemy at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and quickly made a name for himself.  However, because of the relationship between Zhao Gou and Qin Hui, Yue Yun and Yue Fei were eventually killed unjustly.  But now history is completely different. Yue Fei, Qin Hui, and Zhao Gou no longer have conflicts of interest, and they will no longer be unjustly killed. Then the growth path of Yue Fei and Yue Yun will be smoother.  Wang Chen hopes that the father and son will achieve more military exploits in the future.  "Yes, the general will definitely listen to His Highness's teachings and give him a chance to train him well." Hearing Wang Chen talk about his son and seeing the unconcealed joy on Wang Chen's face, Yue Fei hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice:  "Your Highness, you must be happy. Is the princess happy?" "Haha, I hope that when my son grows up, he will no longer have the opportunity to lead the army to kill the enemy and expel the foreigners!" Wang Chen said and touched Yue Fei.  With the cup in his hand, he drank the wine in one gulp.  Indeed, Wang Chen¡¯s joy was because Yu Ruoran was pregnant.  Wang Chen had been having an intimate relationship with Yu Ruoran for so long and had never seen her pregnant. Wang Chen once thought that there was a problem with some aspect of his function, just like the protagonist Xiang Shaolong in a famous time-travel novel he had read.  , due to time travel, certain functions were damaged, so he could not get his woman pregnant.  But he didn't expect that not long after the wedding, Yu Ruoran told him with a blushing face that she was pregnant.  This made Wang Chen ecstatic and wanted to loudly tell the world that he was going to be a father. When he was talking to Yue Fei today, he couldn't help but show his joy and pulled Yue Fei to drink together.  Yue Fei is also smart. He guessed this from Wang Chen's happy face, his act of inviting him to drink, and the mention of his son Yue Yun.  "Congratulations to Your Highness, if Your Highness has a son, he will be as smart and brave as Your Highness," Yue Fei also took advantage of the opportunity to compliment.  Wang Chen felt a little embarrassed because Yue Fei guessed the joy in his heart. He followed Yue Fei's words and said a few polite words, and immediately changed the topic to armaments restructuring and border military affairs.  "Your Highness, the activities of the members of the special operations team in the Kingdom of Jin have achieved good results. We can probably grasp the movements of the Jin army and the upper levels. The Jin people are also trying their best to fight against me, the Song Dynasty. On this point, we  You must be careful!" Yue Fei once again talked about the topic that he briefly mentioned yesterday, "In the year after the armistice, the Jin people have put down the rebellion in their country, and the situation is gradually stabilizing. They are definitely not willing to be suppressed by the Song Dynasty.  We have to pay tribute to war horses every year. In a few years, or even less than a few years, we will probably tear up the previous peace treaty and start a war with the Song Dynasty." "I completely believe this, so we must strengthen military training, especially the training of cavalry.  , be prepared for the next war!" Wang Chen said, lowering his voice, "According to our reports, since the armistice, the relationship between the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom and the upper echelons of Xixia has been very close. If the next war happens,  We are likely to face a joint attack from the Jin Kingdom and the Xixia Kingdom." Hearing Wang Chen say this, Yue Fei suddenly became nervous, sat up straight, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, this should be quite understandable.  Originally, the Jin Kingdom was strong, while the Song Dynasty and Xixia were relatively weak. Xixia was unwilling to unite with the Jin Kingdom to deal with the Song Dynasty, so when the Jin people invaded the south, they treated them passively. But now the situation is different.  Most of the power has been consumed, and the Song Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger. With the power of Jin or Xixia alone, they cannot compete with the Song Dynasty at all. They can only be forced to unite to fight against the Song Dynasty, otherwise they will definitely be defeated.  We, the Song Dynasty, defeated them one by one." "That's right!" Wang Chen nodded in agreement, "Two weak forces unite to fight against one strong force. This is the most common strategy used in battles between countries. It's a pity that before the Jingkang disaster happened, I  The Song Dynasty did not take this approach, and actually joined forces with the powerful Jin State to destroy the already weak Liao State. In this way, most of the Liao State's power was annexed by the Jin State, and the buffer in the middle was eliminated, and they could directly compete with us.  The Song Dynasty resisted. " "Your Highness is right. At that time, our strategy was wrong!" After Yue Fei agreed, he said very firmly: "Your Highness, even if the Kingdom of Jin and Xixia united to deal with me, the Song Dynasty, still  I, Da Song, am not afraid of them with my current strength.?.  "Yes, we don't need to be afraid of them. What we have to do next is to eliminate all Xixia and Jin countries, and bring those areas that originally belonged to China back under the rule of the Han people!" (To be continued!)  . )
