Chapter 400

After the three of them chatted, Jia Sidao's mood faded, and he hugged Meiji to rest.

Liao Yingzhong received a heavy blow on his shoulder today and let someone pinch it. Although the maid's bare hands were light, the pain still made him hiss from time to time.

"Everyone in the court said that Dong Weng 'lost the courtesy of a minister', did Feiyu see it today?"

"An eye-opener," Li Xia said.

"Do you know why Dong Weng is like this?"

"Love to play?"

Liao Yingzhong sighed: "Dong Weng was not born as a dandy, but because he was too hard when he was young, and he let his life go wild after he became famous."

Li Xia asked, "Is that... retaliatory prostitution?"

"Dong Weng is like this, I'm afraid it has something to do with the old affairs of his father and ancestors. The two generations have been honest and hardworking for half their lives, and they will not end well..."

The water in the bath was always at that temperature. Listening to Liao Yingzhong's narration, Li Xia gradually understood Jia Sidao's life.

The Jia family is said to be prominent, after Jia Yi, a famous scholar in the Han Dynasty.

Jia Sidao's grandfather's name was "Jia Wei". Jia Wei once guarded Kaijiang, Sichuan Province, and wrote a letter to expose the crimes of several generals.

Jia Sidao's father was named "Jia She". When Jia Wei died unjustly, Jia She was only twenty years old.

After that, Jia She became an official and served as the envoy of the Huaidong system. He tried his best to recruit the Shandong volunteer army who rebelled against the gold, that is, the loyal army led by Li Fen's father Li Quan.

In the 12th year of Jiading, seventy cities in Shandong "returned to their 300-year-old master".

Jia She also encouraged the Shandong rebels to make a northern expedition, preaching that "those who return from the land and rebel against the enemy will not be stingy."

But the good times didn't last long, and Song Ting soon couldn't afford the expenses of the Shandong rebels, saying that "there was no gain, but the loss was huge." After Li Quan's power grew, he gradually had the desire to separate himself.

At that time, Jia She was already aware of Li Quan's ambitions, and kept using lures and divisions to guard against Li Quan, but Prime Minister Shi Miyuan was determined to win over Li Quan, and continued to bestow high officials on him.

Jia She was stuck in the midst of it, and when he was exhausted, people in the court kept impeaching him for raising tigers, completely negating everything he had painstakingly worked on for many years.

At this point, Jia She was exhausted physically and mentally, and was seriously ill. In the same year, the Jin soldiers invaded aggressively.

Afterwards, Xu Guo, Xu Xiji and others who took the place of Jia She extremely provoked Li Quan's rebellion, and the Song court lost the land of Shandong. …

When Jia She died, Jia Sidao was only 11 years old, and he was a concubine. His biological mother, Hu Shi, was Jia She's concubine.Moreover, both Jia Wei and Jia She are known as clean and honest officials.It can be seen from this that Jia Sidao is obviously not a playboy in fresh clothes and angry horses since he was a child.

Through Liao Yingzhong's narration, Li Xia can probably imagine what kind of discipline Jia Sidao endured when he was young...

Both the father and the grandfather died suddenly, and the burden of the family was on the head of a little concubine. How hard must it be to study hard to revive the family business?

His sister did not enter the palace until Jia Sidao was 19 years old, and was named a noble concubine the next year; three years later, he entered the officialdom with his father's shade; Under Gong's command; in two years, he was promoted to be the minister of the household department;

In the next two years, Meng Gong and Jia Guifei passed away one after another, but Jia Sidao's rate of promotion did not slow down. In ten years, he had been a member of the Privy Council, and he was named the founder of Linhai County...

"Everyone in the world says that Dong Weng is a dude who is shallow and vulgar, and he was promoted thanks to Concubine Huishun's crony belt. However, it was only ten years after the death of Concubine Huishun that Dong Weng really made his mark."

Liao Yingzhong said, sighed, and said: "Other people are in charge of Yanjiang and Lianghuai. They have no food and salary, and the poor are in poverty. But Dong Weng not only does not hurt the people, but also manages the food and salary by himself, and has spare money to support others. Only relying on nepotism, you can To achieve this? Speaking of it, only Shi Yanzhi said a fair word back then, "Although Tao has youthful habits, his talents can be used to great effect."

Li Xia nodded, and said: "Jia Xianggong is indeed a person with real abilities, but his youthful habits are also true."

"I have never met the grandpa of the Jia family, but speaking of it, he is a straight and upright person. Come to think of it... Dong Weng studied too hard when he was young, and he hated the grandpa from the bottom of his heart..."

Li Xia understood what Liao Yingzhong said.

In the eyes of a child, the father and grandfather have devoted their lives to the country, and what they get in return is that their ambitions are not rewarded, and they die in the middle of their lives, leaving orphans and widows.The mother's scolding every day is all about how to maintain the integrity and integrity of the Jia family. It is nothing more than "If you don't make progress, do you want to insult the glory of your father and ancestors?" and so on...

Extremes lead to opposites. Jia Sidao was so indulgent when he was an adult, I'm afraid there is a conflict in it.What's more, his official career is indeed too smooth, he is very arrogant and conceited.

Liao Yingzhong said: "Today, Fei Yu also contradicted Dong Weng a lot, Dong Weng didn't blame him at all, he obviously admired you very much... do you know why?"

Li Xia said: "I am beneficial to Jia Xianggong."

"Not only that." Liao Yingzhong sighed, "Dong Weng's family wants him to live like Feiyu."

"I'm like this?"

"Perseverance, calmness, how can I put it..."

"Self-discipline." Li Xia said.

"Yes, Dong Weng often reads a poem, 'I wish to be a frivolous son of Wuling, born in the Kaiyuan period of Zhenguan. Fighting cocks and running dogs for a lifetime, knowing neither the safety of the world nor the danger of the world.'"

"Although Jia Xianggong was not born in Kaiyuan, Zhenguan, he has already lived a life of 'fighting cocks and running dogs'."

Liao Yingzhong smiled wryly, "But he still wants to live like you."

"Can't let it go?" Li Xia asked: "You hate the loyalty and diligence of your parents, but you have to inherit this loyalty and diligence?"

"You can tell, whose poem is this?"

"I don't know."

Liao Yingzhong took a long breath before slowly saying: "Wang Jiefu."

Li Xia has lived in the Song Dynasty for so long and has learned a lot. He asked, "Wang Anshi who reformed?"

"Let's go, the washing is almost done, let's talk after changing clothes..."

~~
Thinking about everything that happened today, Li Xia faintly began to understand Jia Sidao.

Who doesn't like the prosperity in the south of the Yangtze River, who doesn't like rich clothes and fine food, and being happy all day long?But the national and family fortunes are precarious, and no one can escape what should be borne.

Behind Jia Sidao's laughter and cursing, there are still youthful habits, or resistance to the fate of the family, or a cover-up of his own powerlessness... only he himself knows.

"I would like to be frivolous for Wuling... Wang Anshi..."

Thinking silently in his mind, Li Xia suddenly felt that he was lightly pinched, looked down, and saw that it was the maid who was helping her wipe and change her clothes, biting her red lips and expressing affection.

"If officials want it, in fact..."

"It doesn't mean you want to." Li Xia said, "I'll do it myself."

He put on his clothes, and although he didn't say much, he showed an attitude of not wanting to be disturbed.

"Yes, the slaves lead the officials over..."

Opening the door, I entered another room, where it was as warm as spring. I stepped on the thick felt blanket with my bare feet, and lay on the recliner. Just now, the maid gently brushed Li Xia's hair and began to dry it, carefully drying it on a small stove. with.

Two maids came over and continued to trim his nails; another maid brought melons and fruits and began to make tea; there was the faint sound of silk and bamboo.

The temperature in the room, the soft recliner under the body, the girl's gentle hands...everything makes people feel comfortable.

After a while, Liao Yingzhong came over, and the two continued talking.

"Feiyu has been running all the way, are you tired?"

"It's not lacking. It just so happens that the hair is wet. Mr. Yaozhou, please continue."

Liao Yingzhong snorted comfortably, and said: "Wang Jiefu's poem, there are also the first four lines, 'The desire for joy and adolescence, a hundred years of life is often late. What is the use of wealth and wealth when you are white-headed? Strength is only for worrying about hard work and decline'. Isn't this true? The portrayal of Dong Weng?"

Li Xia smiled slightly, "It's not like that, is it?"

In his opinion, Wang Anshi and Jia Sidao are completely two evaluations, one is famous in history, and the other is notorious.

Liao Yingzhong said: "It's ridiculous to say that Dong Weng and Wang Jiefu are completely different people. Wang Jiefu is simple and not sensual. His wife bought a concubine for him. When Wang Jiefu saw him and asked 'what is it?', isn't it ridiculous?"

Li Xia nodded. With just these three words, he could feel Wang Anshi's rigidity.

"Then?"

"Wang Jiefu asked the woman's life experience, and learned that her husband owed official debts and sold her as a concubine, so he donated money to let her and his wife reunite." Liao Yingzhong said: "That man...Su Laoquan said that he was 'shameful', and only You can know a thing or two about these four characters."

"The head of the prisoner loses face?" Li Xia once again appeared a little ignorant in front of these scholars.

Liao Yingzhong said: "I don't wash my face, I don't wash my clothes. I wear the clothes of my subjects and eat the food of dogs and pigs. The head of the prisoner talks about poetry and books while mourning his face."

Wang Anshi's stubborn and slovenly appearance was immediately imaged in Li Xia's mind, and he and Jia Xianggong were indeed two extreme people.

Li Xia knew that Liao Yingzhong would not talk about Wang Anshi for no reason, and then thought of what Jia Sidao had said before, and asked, "Could Mr. Jia want to be Wang Anshi?"

"Who dares to be Wang Jiefu?" Liao Yingzhong murmured in a low voice, "Hasn't Feiyu listened to scolding? 'The hypocritical and innovative minister, the disaster of Jingkang, buried half of the Song Dynasty, poisoned the world, and left a stigma for thousands of years'... If the situation hadn't come to this point, How dare Dong Weng follow suit?"

Li Xia couldn't help being surprised.

He had seen many things, but he never expected to hear such words today.

Just Jia Sidao, such a treacherous official who was reviled by Qingshi, still has the face to dislike Wang Anshi's stigma for thousands of years?
