Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 583

When Zhang Zhao returned to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, the ripples he caused did not disappear.

In the Southern Tang Dynasty, as soon as Sun Sheng and Han Xizai returned, they were greeted grandly by Li Jing.

And before they returned to Jiangning, these two people were already famous in half of the southern country. After all, Emperor Shaoming's song "Thinking of the Loyal Ministers of the Past and Present" has spread rapidly everywhere.

The land in the south of the Yangtze River has a prosperous culture, but this prosperity is equivalent to this time, and it is still far from the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.

This is an era in which cultural energy is still accumulating, laying the foundation for the heyday of the style of writing in the Northern Song Dynasty.

So Jiangnan is said to have a prosperous culture, but there are not many great poets. Even if there are, it is Li Jing's small building blowing through the jade and cold, with many tears and infinite hatred, leaning on the railing. '

The use of diction is extravagant, not like the works of emperors at all.

But when Zhang Zhao arrives, a thousand miles of books and carts are mixed together, like Qin Huang and Han Zu's lofty sentiments of sweeping the world, aiming to unify China and end the troubled times are vivid on the paper.

There is no doubt about the level of Lu You and Lu Fangweng's poems.

Although Zhang Zhao's plagiarized "Reading Tang Shu Zhongyi Biography" is not of a high standard in his poems, the latter sentence, which I think Gao Qing wrote, can be matched with Ji Shaoxue, but it is very vividly described.

During the grand welcome ceremony, Feng Yansi watched as Li Jing crowned Sun Sheng as Tai Tuo and Lu Guogong, and Han Xizai as Minister of the Ministry of Officials and Envoy of Casting Money.

The former is to allow Sun Sheng to lead the group of officials, and the latter is to allow Han Xizai to control the promotion and financial power of grassroots officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Wei Cen has completely lost power, and Li Jing has made it clear that he will be released to the governor of Yuanzhou soon.

Yuanzhou is the Jiangxi Yichun of the later generations. At this time, it is the southwestern border of the Southern Tang Dynasty. As a confidant courtier, once he is sent to Yuanzhou, it will be difficult to return.

So at this moment, Wei Cen didn't hide anymore, he sneered.

"Yan Zhongjie guarded Changshan in the past. The father and son died unyielding, and passers-by wept for it. Ji Zhongmu guarded the emperor, blood splashed on the emperor's clothes, and praised through the ages.

How can these two people be compared with the sages? "

Yan Zhongjie was Yan Gaoqing. When the Anshi rebel army went south, Yan Gaoqing did not surrender alone, and her tongue was still scolding the thief. In the end, she was killed together with her youngest son Yan Dan and nephew Yan Xu, and her body was chopped into pieces. A loyal minister through the ages, Yan Zhenqing's nephew memorial manuscript describes this matter.

Gao Qingfa refers to the fact that after Yan Gaoqing was murdered, a man named Zhang Cou obtained his hair and presented it to the court, which can be regarded as one of the few relics of Yan Gaoqing.

And Ji Zhongmu refers to Ji Shao, and his father is Ji Kang who offended the Sima family and was killed.

Later, when Ji Shao was serving as a servant, during the Rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, Emperor Hui of Jin was wounded by three arrows, and hundreds of servants and servants all fled. It splashed onto the clothes of Emperor Hui of Jin.

This man's loyalty has been praised since ancient times. Even Jin Huidi, a fool who didn't eat minced meat, knew to say when he was about to wash his bloody clothes: "This Ji Shi is bloody, don't go!" '

In the era when Yue Wumu, Wen Zhonglie, and Yu Zhongsu had not yet appeared, these two were role models of loyal ministers through the ages.

That's why Wei Cen was very upset. He felt that Sun and Han were hypocritical, how could they compare with Yan Zhongjie and Ji Zhongmu.

Feng Yansi shook his head slowly, he didn't care about anything else, but the high positions of Sun Sheng and Han Xizai immediately broke the balance between the two parties.

With the addition of Emperor Shaoming's poems, the whole world thought that Sun Sheng and Han Xizai were the rare loyal ministers who saved the country.

However, the Southern Tang party struggle was so fierce, and Sun and Han were so favored. Will Feng Yansi still have a place in the Jiangning court in the future?
Wei Cen only saw the superficial appearance of Sun and Han, because he had fallen out of favor and went to Yuanzhou, and the affairs of the court had nothing to do with him.

But Feng Yansi is not!So he looked at Wei Cen and said in a low voice.

"You only saw that Sun and Han were favored by Shao Mingzi's poem, didn't you notice the other meaning in it?"

Wei Cen thought for a while, then slowly shook his head, then moved a little closer to Feng Yansi, and asked in a low voice, "May I ask Mr. Feng to clarify."

"Do you think who are the people who Emperor Shaoming paid homage to at Jilong Mountain? They are Huangfuyu, Wang Qing, Liang Hanzhang and Guo Lin.

These people died loyally and righteously in the battle against the Khitan going south, but is one of them Zhou Chen?

And who are Yan Zhongjie and Ji Zhongmu loyal to? "

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Wei Cen to answer, Feng Yansi continued talking on his own.

"Huangfuyu, Wang Qing and other generals are the ministers of Jin Dynasty, but Emperor Shaotian is paying homage to them, and he is also posthumously ennobled and treated his descendants preferentially. What is this? This is paying homage to the heroes who resisted the Hulu with the attitude of the master of the world. .

Look at Yan Zhongjie again, who died in resisting the rebels and was loyal to the country.Ji Zhongmu was in the chaos of the Eight Kings, and he desperately wanted to protect the emperor of the Central Plains.

From this point of view, does the garrison envoy still think that Emperor Shao is praising Sun and Han?
no!Shao Tianzi is praising loyalty as the lord of the world. This is to let the loyal and righteous people in the world know that if they want to be loyal, should they be loyal to the separatist lord?Or he is such a real master with a unified posture of heaven and earth! "

Wei Cen was stunned in place, and after a while he nodded thoughtfully. A smart person knows what it means without saying it too obviously.

Feng Yansi's heart was not on this big scene dedicated to welcoming Sun Sheng and Han Xizai, what he wanted was to have a good talk with his younger brother Feng Yanlu after he returned home.

. . . .

Jiangling, Nanping Wangcheng, Gao Conghui's body is getting worse day by day, he can clearly feel that the vitality of life is passing from him.

At this time, Gao Conghui was looking at the distant river from the tall building in Wangcheng, when a simple and honest voice came from behind him, it was his third son Gao Baorong.

"Are you waiting for Shiro to come back again? Shiro left early today, so he must come back early."

Shilang refers to Gao Congjiao's tenth son, Gao Baorong's same mother and brother Gao Baoxu.

Gao Conghui loves this son the most, even if he is angry, as long as he sees Gao Baoxu, his anger will definitely disappear.

Therefore, everyone in Nanping calls Gao Baoxu "everything rests", which means that as long as he is here, nothing will worry you.

Gao Conghui smiled wryly, Gao Baorong was honest and cowardly, he didn't practice military affairs but he liked to read classics and history collections, so he was a bit pedantic.

This is a good son, a good brother, but not a good successor.

He thought he was waiting for Gao Baoxu to come back, but in fact Gao Conghui was waiting for news from Southern Tang.

Even Gao Baoxu went to the river every day, not to play, but to wait for news.

For this new state of Zhou, Gao Congjiao, Gao Baoxu and his son knew their strength better than anyone else.

Because the father and son wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Khitan's entry into the Central Plains to take over Yingzhou and other places, but they were defeated by Yinshi, the governor of Yingzhou, who mobilized state and county soldiers.

Before that, the Anyuan army in Yingzhou and other places had long been transferred to the north to resist the Khitan, and was finally taken over by the Khitan by the Hutuo River.

Therefore, in the hearts of Gao and his son, the Anyuan army is stronger than the prefectural and county soldiers, and the Khitan army is stronger than the Anyuan army.

And Zhang Zhao killed [-] to [-] Khitan people in one battle, and beheaded the Khitan Lord Yelu Deguang, which can be seen from his ferocity.

So ever since Zhang Zhao entered the Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, Gao Conghui had been terrified. He was afraid that Zhang Zhao would use his attack on Yingzhou as an excuse to accuse him of crimes.

Especially since Zhang Zhao transferred his confidant General Liu Zaisheng to Xiangzhou to serve as the Jiedushi of Shannan Dongdao, Gao Conghui became even more afraid.

When Liu Zaisheng was in Hexi, he was a fierce man who stood alone. In addition, Er Zhujing, the governor of Dengzhou Weisheng Army, was also a brave general from Hexi.

This did not require Zhang Zhao to transfer troops from the Central Plains. The Weisheng Army of Shannan Dongdao and Dengzhou alone was enough to suppress Nanping.

So Gao Conghui paid special attention to the war between Zhang Zhou and Tang. Even when Zhang Zhao forced Li Jing to surrender in Yangzhou and was blocked, Gao Conghui was quite excited when it was reported that he intended to recruit Nanping navy to attack Ezhou.

As long as Tang Guo withstood Zhou Guo's great pressure without yielding, then the value of their Nanping would rise, and it might be possible to swallow Ezhou.

And if Zhou Guo can't defeat Tang, it will be even more difficult for Zhou Guo to face Liu Zhiyuan and Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. At that time, the Central Plains will fall into turmoil again, and Nanping will be safe.

Gao Conghui looks forward to it day and night!I hoped that Zhang Zhao would send an envoy to ask him to send troops out of Xiakou to attack Ezhou.

Gao Conghui had even thought about how he would present himself in front of the envoy, and now he was waiting for the arrival of Zhou Guoang's angel.

Soon, soon!

Just when Gao Conghui was looking forward to it, someone really came, but it was not a messenger, but Gao Baoxu with a pale face.

"My lord, Master Zhou landed at Caishiji, Tang Lord Li Jing has already sent his imperial brother Li Jingsui to beg for peace."

Gao Congxuan's face turned pale in an instant, and he grasped Gao Baoxu's arm, holding it almost with all his strength, and Gao Baoxu's cheeks twisted due to the pain.

After a long while, Gao Conghui let out a long breath, sighed dejectedly, and then looked at Gao Baorong who was concentrating on decocting medicine for him.

Seeing Gao Conghui's pale face, Gao Baorong hurried over to support his father's worried face, "My lord is not feeling well, so don't blow the river wind, the soup will be ready soon."

Gao Congxuan's face changed several times. In all fairness, he had the intention of making Gao Baoxu his successor.

But now it seems that in a small country like Nanping, it may not be a good thing to have a leader like Gao Baoxu who is willing to make progress.

"My son is filial! I heard that Shao Ming ruled the world with loyalty and filial piety. My son is pure filial piety, so he can protect my Gao family's foundation."

With that said, Gao Conghui handed over a key to Gao Baorong.

"Master Shao's victory in this battle is exactly the time when he is happy. Why don't my son go to Tokyo to pay homage, and present this thing to the emperor, and tell me the respect of the Nanping Kingdom. Please forgive us for our crime of harassing Xiang and Ying."

Gao Baorong didn't know what was in the treasure chest that this key could open, but Gao Baoxu knew it, and he gave Gao Conghui a reluctant look.

"My lord, this is a priceless treasure."

Gao Conghui waved his hand, "This thing is the treasure of the Deze world. You and my father and son have locked it in the high cabinet for more than ten years. The previous king also regarded it as the fairy family classics of the living dead and bones, which is already hurting humanity. up.

Now that the Holy Son of Heaven is out, let's use it to buy the peace of my brothers. "
