end song

Chapter 693 Series (addition for the lord "Li Tianyu")
When Wu Xi rebelled against Shu, too many loyal ministers and righteous men of the Song Dynasty emerged to resist.

For example, Xingyuan Mansion sentenced Yang Zhenzhong.

Yang Zhenzhong was always upright. He heard that Wu Xi was self-reliant and recruited the Da'an army to put down the rebellion. He said, "Gu Li can't refuse, and he will die righteously." He was defeated and died of drinking poison.

Afterwards, the imperial court posthumously bestowed upon him the posthumous title of "Jieyi" as Doctor Chaofeng, Zhibaomoge, and the second son of Yinguan.

Zhong Xingxian is willing to follow the example of Yang Zhenzhong.

He is not afraid of death, and he will never follow rebellion.

Facing Li Xia at this time, the more he spoke, the angrier he became, and at the end of the sentence, his expression was agitated.

"Since the right minister sincerely invited you to join the court, if you don't go, it is a clear proof that you have a different ambition! Why do you need to make sophistry? I only advise you to stop making mistakes and confess yourself to the court as soon as possible!"

This is one of the purposes of Cheng Yuanfeng's letter to Li Xia, so that officials in Sichuan and Shu can clearly see Li Xia's ulterior motives...

Kong Xian stood aside, listening to Zhong Xingxian's scolding up to this point, his murderous intent gradually arose.

How can we not arrest these rotten wood?
When he was tied up, he could still call him "Li Jieshuai", but once the tie was loosened, he became more and more violent.

The more polite this kind of person is to them, the more they push their noses.

Thinking of this, Kong Xian's eyes had already fallen on the soldiers at the head of the city, waiting for Li Xia's order.

Zhong Xingxian still didn't realize it, and was still talking to Li Xia.

"Since the Jianyan period, Wu Jie guarded the whole of Shu. The third generation of the Wu family made great contributions to the western frontier. He has been favored by the emperor many times, and his rank is higher than that of princes. The people in Sichuan and Shaanxi are also well-known, and they are often praised. Wu Xi once treason, 80 years of meritorious deeds are all Destroyed at once, all in vain! For 50 years, the smoke of the rebellion has not disappeared, and the past is vivid in my mind. Li Xia and Li Jieshuai are good at doing it for themselves. Their reputation is not comparable to that of Wu Xi, and the current right minister is definitely not Han Yuzhou who has no eyes and no pearls. The elders..."

"Whether Cheng Yuanfeng is blind or not is hard to say."

Li Xia finally spoke.

He waved the letter in his hand casually, and threw it in front of Zhong Xingxian.

"But no matter how impassioned I say it, I'm not in rebellion yet, am I?"

"You clearly want to..."

"Laws of the Great Song Dynasty, can a crime be judged by the word 'thought'?!" Li Xia shouted abruptly, pointed at Zhong Xingxian, and said, "What's the difference between this and 'No need to have'? Are you all Qin Hui's henchmen?"

He glanced at the other officials who were stunned.

"Cheng Yuanfeng summoned me back to the court with a private letter. If he has evidence of my rebellion, he can show it to the emperor and issue a gold medal to call. The officials of Sheji were full of confidence to destroy me. For example, An Bing, Li Haoyi, Zhao Yanna and others recruited soldiers and horses to kill Wu Xi. Who is breaking the law?!"

Zhong Xingxian opened his mouth, wanting to say, "The Prime Minister of the Right is afraid that you will be turned against you", but he couldn't say it.

This is a secret calculation and should not be spoken in public.

It is true that Cheng Yuanfeng did not invite the emperor's edict.

The seven officials looked at each other for a while, not knowing how to step down.

Li Xia said again: "You have not obtained the imperial edict, nor have you received the order to establish the government, gathered without authorization, recruited the lieutenant colonel, recruited strong men, and wanted to kill me? Want to plot rebellion?"

His tone was flat, and a hat of treason had been turned back, so naturally...

With Kongxian and soldiers like Pi Feng around, the situation on Lizhou West Road is already stable.

Li Xia was willing to waste words with these officials, in fact, to save their lives.

There are really too few civil servants under his command. Even if each state capital in Sichuan and Sichuan only reduces two or three officials, it is impossible to send them all in a short period of time.

Among other things, it would be very troublesome to delay this year's spring plowing.

People need to do things, so come to persuade.

Cheng Yuanfeng had too many restraints and too many scruples, so she didn't dare to bring out Song Ting's pressure. She also wanted to eliminate the disaster of the feudal town, but also to be safe.

Then it's all in name.

This time, these officials risked their lives, but they were disgraced, and the next time they will "fail again and die three times".

Of course, a good official who can do things is worthy of him.

Li Xia is not afraid of killing people.

He came out from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. Under the commander-in-chief, there were tens of thousands of corpses. At this time, the murderous aura burst out, and the seven officials in front of him could already feel the danger.

Some people are not afraid, but some people are still afraid, and their faces are pale with fright.

"Don't dare!"

The one who shouted first was Jiang Zhengcheng, who joined the army as a recorder.

Jiang Zhengcheng felt quite wronged. He knew the generals of the Lizhou garrison were convinced of Li Xia, and when Zhong Xingxian came to contact him, he politely persuaded him not to act recklessly, but he did not report to Kong Xian, so Fang was taken down as a fellow party member.

"Forgive me, Commander, my colleagues were bewitched by treacherous ministers..."

~~
Zhang Wenjing stood on the top of the city with his hands behind his back, and looked towards Li Xia, only to see that he was arranging for people to take those officials down and ask them one by one separately.

She is quite clear about these ways of buying people's hearts. Zhang Rou attacked the city and overthrew the village and dealt with countless officials of the Jin Dynasty. She grew up listening to these things.

Ask separately, and those who want to be loyal but can't get down the stairs can say something to show their loyalty in private.

Sure enough, after a while, Li Xia took off his cloak and wanted to put it on a thinly dressed official who had spoken to him...

Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard Pifeng say in the distance, "Bring a soft stool for Mrs. Shuai".

Zhang Wenjing suddenly remembered something, so she recruited two of her guards.

Among the 24 guards who accompanied Li Xia to the south this time, four of them were brought all the way from Bozhou by her. They were female warriors trained by the Zhang family since childhood.

"Big sister."

"Go and prepare some gifts for the wife and children of Kong Anfu's family. In addition, Mo Luoluo, the general of the Ningwu Army who led us into the city just now, also brought a gift to his wife. Don't seem deliberate. Ask around What people like."

"Yes."

Zhang Wenjing thought that it would be very useful for the general in Lizhou City to call her Li Xia's wife. Although she was too lazy to argue with Gao Mingyue, she was happy to give some gifts, and she felt at ease.

She is rich, much richer than Li Xia.

Although he only brought two small boxes with him when he came out of the house, everything in them was priceless, and many of them were treasures from the royal court of the Kingdom of Jin back then, and one item could be exchanged for a large box of gold, silver and jewelry.

Although her father and brother are unwilling to come to arrange the marriage, she can arrange ten miles of red makeup by herself.

After waiting for a while, Li Xia turned around and walked over.

"It's done?"

"Well, don't you go to the teahouse over there to listen to people's stories?"

"It's more interesting to see what you do." Zhang Wenjing said with a smile, "I think an old master left angrily?"

"Zhong Tong Judgment?" Li Xia said casually, "He came from an unknown teacher, and he couldn't beat me, so he abandoned his official position and left."

"Just let it go like this?"

"It's not bad to keep six. It's good for my reputation if I let them go... You see, Kong Xian has already told others to publicize this matter."

"Preaching 'Li Jieshuai debated the Confucians, Zhong Tong judged to run away in shame'?"

"I should ask you to preach."

……

In the afternoon, he inspected several fields and water conservancy. The next day, Li Xia left Lizhou and hurried back to Chengdu.

In this season, even new grass has not germinated, and only a few wintersweet plants are still blooming in the cold wind beside the official road.

The horse's hooves stepped across the frosty soil on the ground, taking it easy.

The weather is still cold, there is still some wind on the face, and it is icy and cool.

Zhang Wenjing still rides with Li Xia.

When I first traveled, I also said, "I'm not married yet, and a man and a woman can't get close." But as early as the beginning of the acquaintance, I also hugged what should be hugged. After all, I still can talk more by sharing a ride.

After the 360-mile journey, the two became more and more intimate.

Zhang Wenjing was a little sleepy, and taking advantage of the terrain of Jinniu Road, the horse couldn't run, so she curled up in Li Xia's arms and squinted back to sleep.He put on a small blanket and wrapped himself tightly, not even showing his eyes, leaving only a small opening for breathing.

She is completely different from Gao Mingyue.

Gao Mingyue looks gentle and demure, weak-willed and supportive, but she can endure hardships and is tough in her bones; Zhang Wenjing looks smart, cunning, lively and active, but she is a bit spoiled.

It was only when the sun was fully out that she groaned, feeling that Li Xia was holding her tightly so that she would not fall off the horse's back, she pulled off the blanket and showed a pretty face, but she couldn't open her eyes.

"Where have you been?"

"Zhaohua." Li Xia said, "Did you really fall asleep with such a bumpy ride?"

"I didn't sleep very deeply, I was in a daze. There are so many mountains. The mountains I have seen in my life are not as many as these few days..."

"I have jerky in my arms, so I eat it myself."

Zhang Wenjing reached into Li Xia's arms, but didn't take out anything. She leaned lazily on his side and said, "I thought I would stay in Lizhou for many days, but I only stayed for one day."

"Lizhou doesn't matter." Li Xia said: "Lizhou has been run by Wang Dechen for ten years. The local gentry and people have long forgotten Song Ting, and there are only a few civil servants who are powerless, so there will be no big disturbance."

"I see that Concierge Conciliator respects you very much. I'm afraid it's not so easy in Chengdu?"

"Well, Kong Xian used to be under Yu Jie's command. When guarding Yunding City, he experienced Yu Hui, a handsome and incompetent Shu commander who exhausted the three armies. When he followed me, his official position was also low. In the past two years in Lizhou, he was inevitably influenced by the people. ;As for Zhang Jue, he's leaning toward me, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy to make up his mind..."

~~
The tenth of the first lunar month.

To the north of Chengdu, a large flag was erected on the bank of Mianyuan River, with the inscription "Song Sichuan appeases the deputy envoy Zhang".

In the lobby of the post house beside the official road, Zhang Jue was sitting there alone, holding a military book in one hand, and fanning the fire with a cattail fan in the other.

Wine was warming on the stove, and a plate of rabbit diced was placed on the side of the table. He would drink it from time to time, and occasionally put down the cattail leaf fan to eat with rabbit meat.

At noon, I finally heard the soldiers report: "Commander, Commander Li Jie has arrived."

"Call the deputy commander."

"Yes, deputy commander, Li Jie is here."

"Has the beef been delivered yet? If it's still fresh, hurry up and stew it."

"Yes, it's already stewing..."

Zhang Jue put down his book, put a jug of wine on the fire, and got up to pick it up.

After a while, several people came back, laughing loudly from time to time.

"Whoever has a wife who remarries will be punished for one year, and the daughter's family will lose one class. Feiyu is 'knowing the law and breaking the law'."

"Brother Junyu, why don't you arrest me and lock me up for a year?"

"If you marry, you marry, so what? In the Tang Dynasty, there was also a trend of marrying the first wife, but it was not clear who was really caught. "Old Tang Book" records that Mrs. Mao Zhong's second wife inherited the same gift; An Chongrong married two wives, Tang Gaozong And add a knighthood. Whether I am his first wife or concubine wife, it doesn't matter anyway, but it's impossible to 'catch' him."

"You're so eloquent. You're also surnamed Zhang, or you're from the same ancestor as me. I don't know which Zhang family he came from?"

"Deputy Marshal Zhang asked this, do you have to ask someone to be my righteous brother?"

"Okay! Why not? I've long wanted to marry a younger sister to Feiyu. Come here, chop off the chicken head and serve rice wine."

"Brother Junyu, don't worry, after you and I have talked about it, how about asking for help?"

"Please, Feiyu first."

Li Xia sat by the table first, and Zhang Jue smiled before sitting down opposite him.

Zhang Wenjing sat next to Li Xia, but she stopped talking, looking quite obedient.

As for the words just now, it was Zhang Jue who took the lead first, and there were some things Li Xia couldn't say well, but she could help set the tone of the conversation.

Whether or not to violate the king's law, which dynasty's king's law he obeyed, whether to arrest or not to arrest, are nothing more than these issues.

……

"During the New Year's Eve, I found out that there was a wild shop near Longquanyi that sold beef, so I asked someone to search it and bring the meat here." Zhang Jue said here, "The ban on killing farm cattle has always been strictly enforced here in western Sichuan. Today's meat was really confiscated, is it true that Yuyu is trustworthy?"

"We were born and died together in Diaoyu City, what are we talking about, believe it or not?"

Li Xia responded casually, and picked it up to eat.

Zhang Jue didn't eat, and drank by himself, a little dull.

"There's no need to make insinuations between you and me." Li Xia said, "I do have objections."

Zhang Jue was stunned.

Li Xia's words disturbed all his thoughts.

And that flat tone made him unable to react for a while.

I had to pour another glass of wine and take a sip.

"Years ago, you sent a letter telling me to protect Antai. I thought it was Cheng Yuanfeng who framed you, but I didn't expect that you really wanted to... Sigh."

"I'm telling you not to worry about it. I'll explain it to you face to face."

"Really going against it?"

"Yes."

Since Li Xia was straightforward, Zhang Juesui also became straightforward.

He let out a long breath, and said: "Can we not rebel? The Bird Court always suspects us, I am also annoyed, so I don't care about it. How to fight the war and how to manage the land will be up to you in the future. But if you raise the flag of rebellion, your moral integrity will be broken, and you will be loyal for a lifetime, but you will rebel in the end, and you will be notorious through the ages. Besides, even if you become an emperor, people will follow suit later, how can there be long-term peace and stability?"

Li Xia said: "Brother Junyu is a sensible person, but how can there be long-term peace in the Song Dynasty?"

"You don't have to say, I understand the truth." Zhang Jue said: "I'll just ask you, are you forced to turn against me? If so, I won't say anything. But if not, it will be difficult between you and me Yes. In other words, no, if you and I are Song officials, can we keep the world peaceful?"

"That depends on how big the 'world' refers to. As long as you are willing to cover your eyes, a corner of the south of the Yangtze River can be regarded as the whole world. I don't mind, half of the country may still be peaceful for more than ten years, but the court is like this, it is impossible to regain the homeland You should know that the unification of the world is the righteousness."

Li Xia said, and looked at Zhang Wenjing beside him.

"My family member is from the Shuntian Zhang family. I will marry her. When the court finds out, they will not tolerate me."

Zhang Jue didn't ask any further questions, just said: "Then don't let the court know."

He is indeed a sensible person, and most things don't need Li Xia's explanation.

Li Xia said: "What I'm talking about is that Zhao Song abandoned the Central Plains, and there is no hope of returning to the north."

Zhang Jue thought for a long time with the wine glass in his mouth, frowned, and his eyes became tangled again.

"Can't you just say it to death? Isn't it still up to me to choose, whether to be courteous or ambitious? When I see you, I just want to ask for peace of mind."

"Then you are holding illusions. There is no best of both worlds in this matter."

"I don't understand. It's just a letter from Cheng Yuanfeng. I know you can deal with him when I receive your reply. Why do you have to fight now? Why do you need to let me make a choice?"

At this point, Zhang Jue took a selfie on the table and said, "You might as well tell me how much money you will give me, and let me be an official!"

Li Xia smiled, and suddenly asked, "Is there a gold and silver store in Chengdu?"

Zhang Jue didn't come back to his senses for a moment, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

"Before the New Year's Eve, there was a big merchant surnamed Yu who set up a bank..."

"That's the problem." Li Xia said slowly: "Cheng Yuanfeng is not scary, he just wants to deal with me alone. But Jia Sidao is about to take power, and Jia Sidao's methods are much sharper and crazier. Yinguanzi intends to control Sichuan and Shu..."

After explaining this matter first, Li Xia said again: "The essence of Song Ting's financial collapse is that it cannot make ends meet. The expenditure is getting bigger and bigger, and the income is getting less and less. It is almost impossible to reverse it. To change a kind of currency, it can only be reshaped in the early stage. Credit, but the root cause remains the same, it will only backfire and intensify."

For a moment, he didn't know how to explain his thoughts to Zhang Jue clearly, so he stopped and thought about it.

"It's like, Song Ting is a patient, his whole body is starting to rot, and Chuan Shu is a leg. Right now, the rotten flesh has not grown, so it has to be divided... I didn't want to divide so soon, but Jia Sidao Using rotten meat to prevent Sichuan and Shu from standing on their own, he wants Sichuan and Shu to rot together with the Great Song Dynasty. At that time, we must make Sichuan and Shu independent of the currency and taxation system, which is imminent.”

Zhang Jue couldn't understand, but was very moved.

Li Xia has solemnly said: "I need your support, so that we have the confidence to cut off the wrists of a strong man."

"But according to your analogy just now, Chuanshu is that leg." Zhang Jue asked, "Can one leg grow into a person?"

"That's why it's a miracle, you and I work together to create this miracle..."
