Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 122

The capital of the Great Song Dynasty, Kaifeng Bianliang.

This is currently the largest city in the north, with a majestic momentum, a large scale, a population of over one million, and a wealth that is the best in the world.

The Song Dynasty Palace is even more splendid and splendid, with row upon row of buildings and buildings, high walls, deep courtyards, majestic corridors and columns everywhere, gorgeous corridors, exquisite bricks and tiles, carved beams and painted walls, highlighting the royal style and majesty. .

In the imperial study room, there is a very conspicuous bronze stove, which is in the shape of a three-story pagoda, with four walls inlaid with gold and hollowed out. The animal charcoal and sandalwood inside are mixed with burning, emitting light smoke. It not only warms the inner room, but also Added a bit of aroma.

At the end of March in the north, it is not as warm as in the south of the Yangtze River. The cold spring air is still there, and the heater in the palace is still in use.

The 38-year-old Zhao Kuangyin, with big ears, thick eyebrows and wide mouth, has a burly figure, wearing a golden dragon and yellow robe, sitting on a wooden chair carved with a dragon, concentrating on reviewing the memorial and doing his best.

In the history of China, there is the reputation of "Tangzong Songzu". This Zhao Kuangyin ended the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, which greatly promoted the development of history, and has always been highly evaluated.Looking at the road to his rise, it was quite smooth. Zhao Kuangyin was a fledgling, and he joined the privy envoy Guo Wei in the Later Han Dynasty. An important general of the Forbidden Army.

When Chai Rong was seriously ill, Zhao Kuangyin was promoted to inspector in front of the palace and became the supreme commander of the Forbidden Army.In the seventh year of Xiande (960), he pretended to be ordered to resist the coalition forces of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Khitan; but he was immediately embraced as emperor by the generals of the forbidden army under his command during the "Chenqiao Mutiny", and returned to Beijing to force Emperor Gong of Zhou to abdicate.In the same year, Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne as emperor, changed Yuan Jianlong, and named the country "Song".

Now is the fifth year of the Great Song Dynasty, and the year name is the second year of Qiande. After five or six years of hard work by Zhao Kuangyin, he has reorganized his army, stabilized the people's hearts, improved the reorganization and new construction of the government, and has completely controlled this new dynasty.Every gesture of his hand, every gesture of his hand and every smile, he already had an extravagant and dignified demeanor.

At this time, Zhang Dejun, the head of the eunuch, walked into the imperial study slowly, holding a sealed note with a fire sign in his hand, stepped forward to the desk, and said in a low voice: "Report to the official family, Wu Desi is here in Jing The secret performances from Chu and Jiangnan have been delivered!"

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin stopped the pen in his hand, looked up at Zhang Dejun, and said, "Submit it here."

Wu Desi started in the Five Dynasties and was a spy organization. Its name can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty after the Five Dynasties. It is recorded in historical materials: "Shi Yanqiong, the envoy of Wu De, was fortunate to be an actor. In the midst of this, you can be self-fulfilling!" Until Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty punished powerful officials, "At the end of Qianyou, Emperor Yin used martial arts envoys Li Ye and others to conspire to punish ministers Yang Yan and others", all through this espionage organization, Wude envoys have always served The emperor's minion has a lot of power, restraining the "Suwei generals" and the Privy Council.

After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne and established the Song Dynasty, he appointed his confidant and staff member Wang Renshan as the envoy of Wude. When the place was vacant, Zhao Kuangyin appointed Wang Renshan as the patrol envoy of Jingnan, so he resigned as the envoy of Wude and was replaced by Zhang Dejun, the chief eunuch.

Zhang Dejun nodded when he heard the words, opened the two sealed letters, checked them, and respectfully handed over the letters.

After Zhao Kuangyin took over, he first scanned the secret letter from the Changsha Mansion. The general idea on it was that Jingchu had been completely taken down, and the general Wang Quanbin who conquered Jingchu was in full swing. At present, there are only some small counties left that have not yet been dispatched and are being wiped out. Local remnants of rebels, etc.

The information sent back by Wu Desi's spies was several days faster than Wang Quanbin's report to the Ministry of War, allowing the Emperor of Song Dynasty to know the battle situation on the front line in advance, so that he could know what was going on and not be exaggerated by the generals on the front line. Credit has been deceived.

"That's right. Although this Wang Quanbin is greedy for money, he is still good at leading troops and fighting in wars. He is the only one to conquer Western Shu." Zhao Kuangyin put down the secret letter with a smile, and picked up the secret letter from Tang Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River.

He glanced at it and saw that it was full of trivial things: for example, Li Yu was obsessed with poetry and Buddhism and was not enthusiastic about government affairs. The Tang court was indifferent after learning that the Song army attacked Jingchu. But there was no result, so Han Xizai was still in the process of being dismissed from office.At the end, a line was added, describing the emergence of Su Yixuan, a great poet writer in the Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin sneered and said: "Little Li Tang, after reaching the third generation, he became weak. He devoted himself to writing poems and fus. Yundu is an elite, and he wants to attack the domineering power of the Central Plains. He has a great talent, but he is only writing poetry. It seems that I can speed up the attack on Shu. Forgive him, Li Yu, the leader of Jiangnan, will not dare to do anything wrong!"

Zhang Dejun smiled softly: "The officials are sages! The southern princes and small states will all be wiped out by our Great Song Dynasty, ending the chaos in the world. When the time comes to unify the north and the south, the officials' merits will be able to catch up with Yao and Shun, and they will be on a par with the Emperor Qin, Han and Wu."

Zhao Kuangyin laughed and said, "You know how to make me happy."

Zhang Dejun also laughed softly: "The officials are powerful and talented, but this old slave is just telling the truth.

Zhao Kuangyin pointed at him, and smiled slightly. The king and his ministers knew each other tacitly, and they were used to flattering horses every day.

Zhang Dejun asked again: "Officials, do you need to pay special attention to that new talented Su in the Tang Dynasty, send someone to find out his identity, and then monitor him?"

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said: "No, I asked Wu Desi to pay attention to the outstanding people in the princes who have real talents, practical learning, practical skills, and weak scholars like this who can only write lyrics are of no use in this troubled world. Forget it, don’t pay too much attention, wasting their energy.”

"Here—" Zhang Dejun agreed.

.........

Of course Su Chen didn't know that he was almost noticed by Zhao Kuangyin, Emperor of the Song Dynasty. At this time, holding an oil-paper umbrella, he walked through the alley with gray tiles and white walls, and returned to his mansion reeking of alcohol.

Yang Ling'er propped her chin with her hands, and was sitting at the table by the window sill, looking at the rain outside, lost in thoughts.

She is already 12 years old, the cardamom age, and it is the time of the young girl Huaichun.

Originally, she was brought up by Su Mingyuan. Once, Su's father half-jokingly said that when she grows up, she can marry Su Chen as a concubine, and there is no need to marry outside. However, Su Mingyuan was convicted and died in prison a few years ago. They depended on each other for life, the former brother Su Chen didn't care much for her as a little girl, he didn't communicate much, he only knew to go out and hang out, constantly changing the ancestral property and belongings of the seller, he was a playboy.

At that time, Yang Ling'er was full of fear and panic about the future, but Xiao Nizi always kept Su Mingyuan's words in her heart, even if Brother Su Chen was a dude, she also thought that when she grew up, she would find a way to make money by herself, so she couldn't let him starve died.

But in the past half a month, Su Chen suddenly became enlightened and showed unprecedented talent. He even changed his personality and took good care of her. Su Chen is suspecting that this Su Chen is a fake!

At this time, when she caught a glimpse of Su Chen's figure walking into the courtyard, she jumped up happily, rushed to the door, and obediently called: "Brother Su Chen..."

Regardless of whether he is true or not, in short, what she likes in her heart is this brother Su Chen!
