I studied in modern times

Chapter 218
Shen Kuo listened to the imperial edict brought by Song Yongchen.

Of course he knows, what does the emperor mean?
Naturally, he did not dare to neglect, so he quickly wrote a letter and explained to Zhao Xu that he had used a workshop in an abandoned Forbidden Army camp outside Bianjing City of the Specialized Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau to transform it into a dedicated gunpowder verification laboratory. .

Artisans who are good at making firearms and gunpowder are also selected in the specialized arms manufacturing bureau.

But it will take time!
As for the loom, he asked Zhao Xu to authorize him to select suitable talents in the Weaving Institute and Lingjin Institute.

Zhao Xu naturally issued an edict and agreed to all of them.

There is no need to communicate or discuss this matter with the two palaces, nor does it need to send the decree to Zhongshu Province for the capital to implement it.

Because no matter it is dedicated to the manufacture of military weapons, or the weaving institute, silk brocade institute, they are all Zhao Xu's personal property.

It's just that one is directly under the emperor, and the other two belong to the royal institution, which is under the control of the Shaofu. Although the Shaofu seems to be a government office for civil servants and bureaucrats, all the supervisory institutions under it are filled by military officials or ministers.

Zhao Xu did not need to go through the capital hall at all and could directly issue edicts to these institutions.

……

Xingshu walked out of Duting Station.

He turned his head and looked at Dutingyi, thinking about the process of the four Liao envoys interacting with him.

"Your Majesty, I am honored to fulfill your mission!"

Xingshu is very accurate in judging people!
Therefore, these days, he tried his best to get in touch with the four Liao envoys, and then through some means, he learned some things about these Liao envoys in the past.

Therefore, he has probably successfully completed his mission now.

After returning home, Xing Shu picked up his pen and ink and began to write memorials.

After finishing writing the memorial, Xingshu did not take it to the Tong Jiansi, but went to Gao Zunyu's mansion.

After entering Gao's mansion, Xing Shu was invited to Gao Zunyu's bedside.

When Gao Zunyu saw that it was Xingshu who was coming, he waved away the servants on the left and right, and ordered them to close the doors and windows tightly.

"Uncle He is here..." Gao Zunyu lay on the bed with a pale face.

Because he couldn't move half of his body, and the impact of the stroke was still eroding his nerves.

Most of the doctors at this time had no experience in caring for a stroke paralyzed patient.

So, he's in a bit of a bad situation.

"How does my brother feel?" Xing Shu asked.

Gao Zunyu laughed miserably: "The old man is not far from death now!"

A relative and veteran who was paralyzed in bed.

Just a waste!
Since he was sick, except for the Gao family and Xiang Zong from the Xiang family who came back to visit a few times.

It is Xingshu who often visits the door.

other people?Those who surrounded him in the past?

He had already forgotten him and regarded him as a dead person!
From the day Gao Zunyu suffered a stroke, he had already died in politics and officialdom.

"Gong Chuo should be recuperating, maybe he will recover one day..." Xing Shu could only comfort him.

Gao Zunyu laughed, he naturally knew his body.

It is impossible to recover!

However, Xingshu's consolation still moved him very much.

These days, just such a friend who has only known him for a few months often comes to visit him.

In the past, people who were by his side and benefited from him have never even seen their shadows.

The coldness of the world and the terror of people's hearts gave Gao Zunyu a solid experience.

So, even though he knew that Xingshu had nothing to ask for.

But he is still willing to serve as Xingshu's tools, not only recommending Gao Gonghui and Xiang Zongliang to Xingshu, but also arranging many resources for Xingshu.

And Xingshu did not live up to his good intentions.

He has been giving advice to the Gao family and the Xiang family, and the ideas he gave have all worked well.

Especially Gao Gonghui's idea of ​​inviting Concubine Feng De to be the Empress Dowager a few days ago won the Gao family praise from the palace.

The imperial concubine even asked a Ren family member to come to the door in person to thank Gao Gonghui.

Therefore, looking at Xing Shu's appearance, Gao Zunyu knew that Xing Shu had something to ask him to help today.

So, he asked: "Uncle He came to find the old man today, is there something wrong?"

Xing Shu nodded, and said: "Don't lie to me, my brother, a certain person was ordered by the emperor to secretly investigate the Liao envoy's personality and follow-up... Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life, and I have gained..."

"It's just that this matter is very confidential. I'm afraid that it will be conveyed by the General Secretary, and it will attract the attention of the government and the public!"

"I can only have the audacity to ask the public for help..."

Gao Zunyu suddenly became excited when he heard this: "Uncle He, are you sure the emperor ordered you to secretly investigate the character and conduct of the Liao envoy?"

Xing Shu nodded and said: "This is what the big Diao Dang Shi Deyi who is beside the Empress Dowager personally conveyed to a certain..."

Gao Zunyu suddenly laughed.

Then he sighed again: "The old man only regrets that he failed to kill that unfilial son Gao Shichong..."

If he had known earlier, this young master had such thoughts and courage.

When the unfilial son Gao Shichong brought Wang Gui's son to him.

He will immediately capture both of them, then order Gao Shichong to be shot, and send Wang Zhongxiu to the palace to plead guilty.

such a pity!
It's useless to regret now.

There is such a big hidden danger.

If someone finds out something in the future, it may be too much for him and his descendants to die without a burial place.

But being imprisoned and suppressed is definitely inevitable.

Even if the young master is benevolent and filial, he will hold his hand high in the face of the empress dowager.

But he will never use the offspring of an unfaithful and unfilial person like him again.

Gao Zunyu sighed a few times and said to Xing Shu: "Uncle He, after I die, those unfilial sons will have to ask Uncle He to take care of them..."

"If it doesn't work, Uncle He will let the old man's other unfilial sons report Gao Shichong to the officials..."

If Gao Shichong dies, the whole family can escape unscathed.

This is already the best deal ever.

It's just a pity, I'm afraid that his family will live on the breath of Gao Zunhui, Gao Gongji, and Gao Gonghui in the future.In the first generation, there may still be some incense.

The second generation is...

By the third generation, they are lost to passers-by.

Xing Shu sighed: "Gong Chuo, it's more than that..."

"I hope!" Gao Zunyu sighed.

Then he looked at Xingshu and said: "Uncle He will write the memorial to this old man!"

"I will order people to be sent to the palace in my own name..."

"Thank you, brother!" Xing Shu saluted.

Gao Zunyu said: "The old man is also saving himself..."

Of course Xingshu understood, otherwise he wouldn't have looked for Gao Zunyu.

This is giving Gao Zunyu a chance to show his loyalty!And Gao Zunyu will definitely cooperate with him.

……

Before the palace gate was locked, Gao Shijing, Gao Zunyu's son, handed over a post under the Neidong Gate asking to see him.

Zhao Xu was surprised when he got the news.

Then he ordered Feng Jing to bring him to Funing Hall.

Not long after, a young nobleman in his twenties was brought before Zhao Xu.

When he saw Zhao Xu, he immediately bowed his head and said: "Shijing, the official minister of Youban Palace, I wish you all the blessings!"

Zhao Xu laughed immediately, and said to him: "You don't need to be polite, get up quickly..."

He also told Feng Jing: "Give a seat and tea to the relatives of the country..."

Gao Shijing was flattered and thanked him repeatedly.

Zhao Xu then asked, "How is Uncle Guo?"

"I am reporting to the officials that since my father fell ill, the two palaces and the officials have given me medicines and treatments many times. I am really grateful..."

Zhao Xu understood, he was in poor health.

Then he sighed: "Uncle, I am a great general and important minister of the emperor's examination, and also the uncle of the Empress Dowager..."

"I wanted to reuse it, but...how..."

Gao Shijing hurriedly bowed again: "The official's love is great, and I thank you on behalf of my father..."

Zhao Xu nodded and asked: "I came to the palace today to ask for an audience, but is there something wrong?"

Gao Shijing immediately bowed again, took out a memorial from his bosom, and presented it in his hand: "My father has a chapter, I hope the begging official's family will read it..."

Zhao Xu gave Feng Jing a wink, and the latter stepped forward to take the memorial from Gao Shijing's hand, and then got Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu opened it and looked at the content, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

It's really you!
Forgive me!

It is worthy of being a Tongtian figure in the Yuanyou era!

You can find any kind of relationship, awesome, awesome!
It can only be said that some people are social cattle.

Looking at the content again, Zhao Xu smiled.

This punishment is really powerful!

He actually relied on brief contacts with several Liao envoys and private inquiries to tell Zhao Xu that these four Liao envoys actually belonged to different factions.

There may even be a tense relationship between each other.

The chief envoy Yeluju and the deputy envoy Wang Shiru were likely to be hostile in the Liao Kingdom.

This guess is what made Zhao Xu smile.

Because Xingshu guessed right!
Wang Shiru belonged to the lineage of Yelu Yanxi, the grandson of the Liang king of the Liao Kingdom. Before and after Yelu Yanxi's ascension to the throne, he had been an official in the Liao Kingdom and Tong Zhongshumen under the Pingzhang. It is equivalent to the senior minister of the Song Dynasty, and his status is about the same as that of Zhang Fangping.

And Yeluju?
Yelu is the surname of the Khitan country, and it is also a common surname.

There are the Fifth Academy, the Sixth Academy, etc., and this Yeluju was born in the Sixth Academy of the Liao Kingdom.

The dead king of Daliao Wei and the general Yelu Helu under the command of Yelu Yixin, the emperor's uncle, was the uncle of this Yeluju.

Then you have to ask, why didn’t the old emperor of the Liao Kingdom kill everyone?
The answer is that he can't kill them all.

The Yelu Yixin Rebellion involved the whole Liao Kingdom and countless tribes and dignitaries.

The old emperor knew the seriousness and did not dare to touch them at all.

I can only pretend to be magnanimous - I only punish the leader and the villain, not the subordinates, everything remains the same.

But later, Emperor Tianzuo was too young.

As soon as he came to power, he launched a big purge, whipped corpses, and dug graves.

This caused the entire Liao Kingdom to be in turmoil. All the tribes hated Emperor Tianzuo and wished that Emperor Tianzuo would die.

Therefore, when the Jurchens were in trouble, Emperor Tianzuo often caught fire in the rear.

Those named Yelu and Xiao continued to launch rebellions.

In a sense, the Liao Kingdom was actually destroyed by internal and external attacks, and the nobles of the Liao Kingdom contributed at least half of Wanyan Aguda's military medals.

But now, because of the attitude of the old emperor, the Liao Kingdom has maintained peace and stability for the time being.

However, Yelu Yixin and others' clansmen, generals and old friends watched the grandson grow up day by day.

What will they think in their hearts?
In particular, a group of Han scholars and officials circled around this grandson every day.

What will they think?

Zhao Xu was quite curious about this.

　I owe 2500 words today, plus the 4500 I owed a while ago, a total of 7000, and I will pay it back after paying off the monthly ticket and adding more!
　　Note: The epitaph of Wang Shiru is a cultural relic in Beijing.

　　Note 2: Emperor Tianzuo's political IQ is zero, and may even be negative. It can be said that he was brighter than Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan in the later period.

　　The Jurchens are so fucking lucky!

　　It just happened that Liao and Song Dynasties were all very clever!
