Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Shao Shude patrolled slowly all the way, and finally arrived in Changping County on August 28.

There is a garrison here, which is the left wing of the Tielin Army that has just withdrawn from the back of the mountain to reduce the pressure on local supplies.

The construction of the Long Summer Palace has come to an end, and it will be completely completed in September, and then the interior decoration, exterior landscape and other things can be done slowly.

On the [-]th, Changping Liu Cungui, Liu Shoujing and his sons arrived in Changping Tang and waited for an audience. At that time Shao Shude was receiving Zhong Jinxian, Chong Jushuang and his son, and Ju Shuang's son Yanyou who were about to go to Yingzhou.

After Chu Shenping brewed the tea himself, he brought it up.Chong took it naturally, and poured tea for everyone.

Chu Shenping paid more attention to Zhong Yanyou, this is a real colleague, he is in the same team as his new brother Shen Fan, one team is the leader and the other is the deputy.

Zhong's movements of pouring tea were like flowing water, obviously used to this kind of thing.And his expression is focused, as if he can find some great fun in simple things.

This woman is relatively simple and has no special desires.If you want to compare, it is similar to Xiurong Chen, but there are differences: Shao Shude can already write and practice calligraphy on Chen, and Chen will only look at him with reproachful eyes, but Zhong is too traditional. Only accepted the normal position, Shao Shude wanted to play tricks, but Zhong didn't cooperate at all, and just kept crying.

It was the first time that Shao Shude got such a novel "toy", and he couldn't bear to force Zhong Shi, half coaxed and half deceived all the way, thinking about some strange tricks that could make the daughter of a great Confucian like Zhong Shi break through in an instant.

At the same time, I am also very emotional: the emperor's private visit on Weibo, I can really pick wild flowers, the TV series did not lie to me!

Zhong Jinxian is about five or sixty years old. He once served as the governor of Weizhou, and the imperial court gave Situ a gift.

Shao Shude asked someone to find out a little bit about it. Zhong Jinxian might have been young and vigorous at the beginning, and he had the ambition to calm the people and help the world. When he was appointed as the governor of Weizhou, he "pulled the scallions and suppressed his powerful clan".

And the effect of his governance is also very good, reaching the state of "returning pearls to Jiupu", and has made great contributions to the recovery of social economy.

But what is Weizhou?Who is the local tyrant in Weizhou?Either Wei Bo Military Academy, or people related to them, if you attack them, can you have good fruit?So after only a few years, he was forced to step down.

To be honest, if the old Situ hadn't been very famous and had many people interceding for him, he would have been hacked to death.Being able to land smoothly is already a blessing in misfortune.

After Lao Zhong stepped down, he ran to the border of Henghai Navy.After learning from the pain, he strictly required his son Zhong Jushuang's studies, and at the same time urged him to practice martial arts and learn military strategy.

Like many Hebei gentry families, Zhongju Shuangyun Wen Yunwu once served as the left leader General Wei and the commander of the Cangzhou Mabu Army.Later, he was transferred to the governor of Dezhou, and the imperial court bestowed him with the title of Taibao.

However, he is not Lu Yanwei's direct descendant, and he even hated him. He didn't even serve a full term of governor, and he stepped down like the old one.

Well, the political power is gone, and the military power is gone, so I can only go home to study, teach my children, and chat to get by.

Shao Shude has always suspected that they are the ancestors of the Zhong family in the Northern Song Dynasty, because Zhong Jinxian and Zhong Jushuang's father and son were originally from Luoyang, but there is no direct evidence.

After the Chong family father and son lived and studied in the countryside, Zhao Dejun came to Cangjing with the army, and he immediately fell in love with the outstanding Zhong family.Of course, Zhao Dejun would not be so coveted if he only coveted his appearance and figure.The main reason is that the Zhong family's temperament and status are not ordinary, so that Zhao Dejun stalked him, and in the end he even took people into captivity, and asked Zhao Siwen, the elder of the clan, to hire him.

Zhao Dejun still succeeded in history.The Chong family married him as his wife, and the family was well-organized, "salty to recommend internal help", and successively granted the titles of Mrs. Henan County, Mrs. Zheng Guo, Mrs. Yan Guo, and Mrs. Qin Guo.

Two sons were born, Zhao Dejun's second son, Zhao Yanmi, and his third son, Zhao Yanxi - Zhao Dejun's eldest son, Yanshou, was adopted.

Zhao Yanmi served as the Jiedu Envoy and Taiwei of Heyang in the Liao Kingdom. Zhao Yanxi died young and only served as the general of the Zuojian Gate Guard.The grandchildren are also various envoys and generals of the Liao Kingdom, and they are extremely rich.

There is also a daughter who married Liu Min, the Grand Master and Prime Minister of the Liao Kingdom, who was born in the Liu family in Changping.

"Your Majesty trusts me, and I am grateful. But I really don't know what kind of world Your Majesty wants." Zhong Jinxian is not young, but his anger is still very high. He only heard him say: "Wufu is the country? The family is in charge? Or what else?"

"From the perspective of Master Zhong, what is missing in the world today?" Shao Shude asked.

Immortal Zhong Jin said without hesitation: "What is lacking is the heart of reverence. Rituals are broken, discipline is lost, warriors kill generals and rebel at every turn, regardless. They don't care what the world will become, they only care about their own selfishness." .If things go on like this, the world will not be in chaos for sixty years. I don’t think it will be stable.”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Shao Shude again, and said: "Thanks to Your Majesty's martial arts, he has succeeded in hundreds of battles, and the unification of the world has dawned. The old man has also watched His Majesty's administrative measures, and he is generally right, but he seems to be hesitant?"

Shao Shude's heart moved, and he asked: "Master Zhong, why not tell me in detail."

"Your Majesty wants to suppress the warriors, but he is worried that the suppression will be too much. He hesitates in his heart. If it is implemented, it is contradictory, right?" Zhong Jinxian asked.

Shao Shude was silent.

"Since your majesty has a plan in mind, why are you hesitant?" Chong Jinxian asked: "Guangxing enlightenment, your majesty has already implemented it in Guanzhong, Guanbei, Hexi, and Longyou. Minus. However, Henan and Huaihai are slow to move, why? The people of Shenguang, Cai, Tang and Deng states are barbaric, how are they different from the barbarians? Why don't you spread famous teachings and enlighten the world?"

Shao Shude had to admit that Immortal Zhong Jin was very accurate and said what was on his mind, so he asked, "How to prevent overcorrection?"

"Correction—it's hard but correct." Chong Jinxian replied.

Shao Shude sighed secretly.

Isn't this the same as death if you catch it, and chaos if you let it go?Is there really no intermediate state?
"Your Majesty, even if you don't do anything." Immortal Zhong Jin said again: "The second-generation king is well-respected by everyone, with outstanding military strategy and martial arts. He can suppress those warriors and eliminate the hostility in their hearts. After several generations, it will be the same sooner or later. The Anshi Rebellion has only lasted more than a hundred years. When 15 rebels entered Henan, the Henan people had not heard of the war for more than a hundred years. What, in fact, the ending is the same, but it’s just coming sooner rather than later.”

Grass!Shao Shude couldn't hold back when he said that.

But he also understood the meaning of Zhong Jinxian.In the former Tang Dynasty, there was no tradition of using literature to control martial arts. Going out to be a general or a minister was just a matter of nostalgia.But in the last years of Tianbao, when the rebels entered Henan, the local people had been at peace for more than 100 years, and they were unable to resist at all, allowing the rebels to drive straight in.

The one who really stopped the rebels and let Datang breathe a sigh of relief was actually King Qin's Bian Zhen Wufu.

Peace has been going on for a long time, no matter what system you have, the result may be slightly different, but the essence is the same.It is not a sarcasm to say that this kind of thing can only rely on the wisdom of future generations.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about this later." Shao Shude waved his hand, skipped the topic, and said, "Master Zhong will assassinate Yingzhou, are you sure? There are countless vicious people in that place, no different from Huaixi. I hope that you will spread your education in the past to dispel the hostility, but I also don't want any accidents."

"There is no serious problem with the master Wang stationed here." Immortal Zhong Jin said nonchalantly, "I'm getting old, as long as I can educate the people well, why would I want to die?"

Shao Shude choked.Unexpectedly, the old man was quite stubborn and put life and death aside.Although the two sides are not particularly compatible in some concepts, it does not affect Shao Shude's appreciation of Zhong Jinxian's character and integrity.

Chong glanced at Shao Shude quietly, his bookish face was full of worry.

"How about it..." Shao Shude pondered for a while, and said, "It's cool to live in Zhongju."

"The minister is here." The former commander of the Cangzhou Horse Infantry Army, the governor of Dezhou, and the current Sima Chongju of Yingzhou responded happily.

His temperament is somewhat different from the old one.After all, I have been a martial artist for many years. Although I have been opening a museum to teach apprentices and lecture on classics in recent years, under the elegant temperament, there is a little majesty of killing and cutting. It is different if it is different.

"Qing can also serve as the commander of the state army. The infantry has [-] troops and the cavalry has [-] troops. They are all formed by Zhong Qing." Shao Shude said.

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Zhong didn't do much, and the old Zhong refused: "This is not in accordance with the system! The governor has already taken charge of the people of a state, and Sima is the second governor of the governor. The entire Yingzhou is controlled by my father and son, where is the majesty of the court? Please take it back, Your Majesty."

Shao Shude was quite emotional when he heard the words, and said: "If the whole world is full of people like Zhongqing, how can there be so many troubles? How about this? I transferred Li Siben to take charge of the soldiers of Yingzhou. On the other hand, Ruzhou is newly established, and the officials are not yet ready. The position of governor is even more vacant. Xiaozhong Sima should be transferred to the governor of Ruzhou."

"I would like to thank the emperor for his kindness." Zhong Jushuang thanked immediately.

After thanking her, she glanced at the eldest daughter without any trace, showing shame on her face.The father couldn't protect his daughter, so he was first forced by Zhao Dejun, and the dowry was already given. The daughter was about to become Zhao's wife, but was snatched away by the saint again.

I'm so ashamed!

The old man opened his mouth, and wanted to say something else, but in the end he didn't say anything.

In this cruel world, idealists are almost unable to stick to their beliefs, and sometimes they have to make some compromises, not to mention that this is a matter that is very beneficial to the family - one branch of two assassins is rare in the country.

"Officials in the Ru and Ying prefectures, the two can choose by themselves, just report to them." Shao Shude said again.

This is actually not in line with the rules.But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a benefit given by the emperor to bribe Hebei scholars.Tell them to keep their mouths shut and stop messing with Jill making up people.

The historians are currently writing "Jin Shang Shi Lu", which is to visit various places and select materials for compilation.In case of being hacked too much, even if the historians delete some content and do not include it in the book, it is inevitable that a lot will be included, which is not good.

"Let Liu Cungui, Liu Shoujing and his son come in." Shao Shude said to Pugu Cheng'en after drinking half a bowl of tea.

Pugu accepted the order and left.

Zhong Jinxian, Zhong Jushuang and his son looked at each other, but they didn't let them leave.
