After Shao Song

Chapter 64
Time easily throws people away, the ice and snow disappear, and the grass becomes green.In just over ten days, the bright yellow jasmine flowers in the palace were already quietly announcing the arrival of spring.

Jingzhao Mansion has always been known as "Chang'an with Eight Waters". Seeing that the situation is stable, Zhao Jiu also took the guards out for a walk, and waited until the famous Bashui River. The flying sand gulls are snatched away, under the setting sun, little golden lights are dotted between the waves, and the fishermen's songs can be heard leisurely in the distance. It is a relaxing and beautiful scene.As far as the eye can see, the tallness and vicissitudes of the ancient city wall of Chang'an can be seen again.

Zhao Jiu couldn't help but sigh, "After all, the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, no matter how war-torn it is, the weather is unmatched anywhere else."

Yang Yizhong said: "If the officials like it, they might as well stay a little longer. The situation is safe now and there will be no problem."

It is said that Zhao Guan and his family have known each other for many years, and they can understand a lot of what they are saying without saying anything. Zhao Jiu smiled and said: "Zhengfu saw Xiao En and Xiao Yushi coming, and knew that I was still planning to go to Ningxia Road, so that's why Just say it."

Yang Yizhong was helpless, and said: "The officials understand everything, and there is no rush to control the Yellow River. Since leaving Tokyo, there have been so many twists and turns. Ningxia is a newly recovered land. I really can't rest assured!"

"I also know, but this time I am here to fight Huang. Although I may change my focus in the future, this time I still have to have a beginning and an end. Besides, this has been comfortable for a long time. In the past, when fighting Yanling and fighting against Yaoshan, which time was it not dangerous? Why are you still afraid of some clowns now?"

Yang Yizhong felt as if he had an olive in his mouth. He really wanted to tell her what if?But as soon as the words came out, he said, "The official promised the second princess before leaving the capital that he must go back in March to host her hairpin ceremony. It's February soon. Ningxia is more than 2000 miles away from Tokyo. It will definitely be delayed every time. . With all due respect, the princess has a body of gold but a delicate mind."

Who knew that it was okay if he didn't say it, but when he mentioned Zhao Jiu, he suddenly became overjoyed and said: "Zhengfu reminded me, since we have gone to Xingqing Mansion, the Mogao Grottoes are not far away. God bless this child who likes the flying Buddha statue the most." Ask someone to copy some rare pictures and send them to her. But be careful not to destroy them, they are all national treasures. There are also emeralds sent by Xiliao. Give her a face this time so that she will not be angry. I feel My father is partial!"

Yang Yizhong:
Yes, this man has become determined after eating the weight, and no matter how much he tries to persuade him, there will be no results.

In fact, Yang Yizhong also knew that Zhao Guanjia was right, there was only one risk in traveling by boat or horseback.Now it is just manipulation in the shadows of Hainan Pingping.But how is it possible that the Zhao Guan family is afraid of this?Not to mention anything else, just for that time in Nanyang, this man used [-] soldiers and horses as bait. He took Liu Yan's eight hundred red heart cavalry and a few civil servants to cross the Baihe River in Nanyang in the cold weather, and first crossed to the east. Passing Zhongyang Mountain, walking out of the Nanyang Basin, and then using Xiping as the pivot point, bypassing the battlefield where the Jin army may be present, they went straight to Yanling in one day and two nights to kill Duchong and seize military power.Not dangerous?But the tens of thousands of gold troops outside are going to die!
But that's what Zhao Guan's family did. He later told Yang Yizhong that Han Shizhong was trapped at the time, and if his courage fell, it would be the end of him.

Although the world is now at peace, there is no need for you, the emperor, to risk your life all the time.But Yang Yizhong felt that with his character, if he was forced to stay in Tokyo and the Yanjing Palace for the rest of his life in his early thirties, what might happen?Although that is theoretically the safest.

After understanding the current situation, Yang Yizhong stopped trying to persuade him. He just made an agreement with the officials not to take the ancient Silk Road, but to go from Chang'an to Yan'an and then from Yanzhou to Yinchuan. For no other reason, this was Wu Jie's defense zone. It has been operated by Qu Duan and Han Shizhong for many years and has always been relatively reliable.

Zhao Guan's family naturally agreed, so Yujia made preparations and went west on the second day of February, agreeing to meet Zhao Zichen at Yan'an Mansion. When Tokyo got the news, the day lily was cold, so he could only angrily ask Yang Yizhong to behead him again.In this regard, Yang Yi had no worries about his large debts and just quietly selected three thousand soldiers to go with him. On the contrary, Xin Wenyu was driven back by Zhao Guan's family to get married.

In Zhao Guan's words, "If you follow me, you won't be able to return to Jinan Mansion before the middle of the year. Don't keep Miss Sun, whom you miss so much, waiting any longer."

These words were spoken by two people, so although Xin Wenyu was a little embarrassed, he had always been a cheerful person, so he took leave and went home to marry a wife.

As the saying goes: Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass.Although he had not yet reached the Western Regions at this time, soil erosion in Guanxi during the Song Dynasty was already serious, and it was true that the farther west he went, the less populated he became. He was bored in the car and couldn't read a book, so he dragged Xiao En over to chat, and started: : "You changed your career from being a ruler to being a royal censor for three or four months. Have you gained anything?"

He asked casually, but he didn't expect Xiao En to answer seriously, saying: "In the official family, I have many things that I wanted to participate in, but I was stopped by brother Zhao Tongpan."

Zhao Guanjia was startled, and then listened to him: "Brother Zhao said that the river affairs are complicated, and they are either looking at something or not. Only after I have watched and listened to it with him can I complain to you about the concert. For example, the magistrate of Hancheng County last year The cold weather drove the villagers to do hard labor, and many people fell down due to the cold. I not only wanted to interfere with him, I simply wanted to beat him to death. But Brother Zhao"

Liu Yan, who had been here because he was injured, finally couldn't help it and reminded: "Xiao Yushi should be called Zhao Tongpan, and he seems to be a few years younger than you."

Only then did Xiao En remember that the leader of the Song Dynasty in front of him was also named Zhao. He smiled and said: "I'm sorry for the official, but I'm still reckless. I'm in a relationship with Zhao Tong and I admire him, so I call him that." .”

Zhao Jiu didn't care and continued to ask: "Oh, although this brother of mine is not selfless, he will not bend the law for personal gain. Why do I stop you because I am afraid that you will kill someone impulsively?"

"So that the officials would know that this is what I thought. As a result, Zhao Tongpan took the minister to see it. It turned out that Hancheng County also suffered from floods. During the war last year, a gate was broken and was not repaired. It was frozen this year. Seeing that if it is not repaired before the beginning of spring, it will not only delay the spring plowing, but also cause floods and drown people. Although the magistrate of Hancheng's behavior was a bit rough, he was still dedicated to the public. I did so, so I feel that he is a good official and should not be played." Zhao Guanjia praised: "Zhao Zicheng is right, you are a censor, although you can hear about things, but you must understand the actual situation of the place, otherwise Transferring people back and forth is also a waste of money and food from the court."

Xiao En nodded and said: "King Lu has told us this before. The imperial court gave us the navy. At that time, I was still in charge of the navy. The money allocated was the taxes of the people. If it is corrupted and wasted, it will be with us." There is no difference between those dog officials who persecute us. So I have seriously considered it, and I want to participate in the performance of Zhang Zhongxiong, the magistrate of Hequ County."

"Why? Is he also abusing people's power?" Although Zhao Jiu didn't understand the actual situation, he had basically seen Xiao En's character clearly, and he should not act recklessly without evidence.

"Official family, no, this person is the son of the famous minister Zhang Shuye, and he dominates the county. XZ Zhizhou is from Jiangnan, so he dare not control him. There is no evidence that he has embezzled or bribed ministers, but ministers I saw with my own eyes that he was going to sacrifice good boys and girls and throw good boys and girls into the river. I couldn't help it, so I threw him into the river. He yelled that it was because Zhang Shuye's old son Zhang Zhongwengong had once surrounded and suppressed Liangshan Po. I want to retaliate, bah, we have been officers and soldiers for so many years, how can we still make no sense at all? It is clearly my heroic son Xiong Xiong who is causing harm to the people. I am learning to write. When I finish writing, I will not only show it to the officials. , and also send it to the officials in Tokyo and ask them to comment on it."

Zhao Guanjia narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you really going to sacrifice your child to the river?"

Xiao En felt inexplicably cold in the spring, but he was not afraid of the slanting shadow, he still said: "If the officials don't believe it, they will send another censor, and the ministers have asked about it. He has been the county magistrate for three years, and has drowned several families. My child, if it weren’t for the imperial court’s laws, I would really want to drown him.”

Zhao Jiu then stopped talking, and the group walked for a few days. When they arrived at Yan'an Mansion, they were naturally warmly received by local officials and Wu Jie. However, Zhao Guan's family was still in a bad mood, not only because of Zhang Zhongxiong's bad news, but also because he specially sent the message The magistrate of XZ actually came here carrying the river judge Zhao Zichen, because he worked too hard and fell ill.

Small theater extra-——
As we all know, the Song Dynasty had redundant officials and was even more generous in pursuing titles. As a result, Xianggong Town in the Song Dynasty was more crowded than in previous dynasties, housing was difficult, and neighbors were very close to each other.

And Yan Jun doesn’t know what he thinks. Even if some famous ministers are posthumous, they can still come in, such as Zhang Shuye Zhangsuo. Some prime ministers who are too uncharacteristic, even if they enter the political hall in life, they are not qualified, such as Han Jiang.

That day, Wang Boyan got up and was about to chat with the erudite Lu Gong. Suddenly he heard a burst of crying. He was startled, looked in the direction and asked, "Is it Duke Zhang Zhongwen or Duke Zhang Rongxi (Zhang Qi)?" People are great-grandchildren.

Zhang Qi was the prime minister of the Renzong Dynasty. The biggest topic was that he had raised the Queen Mother Zhang Xian Liu E for ten years for Zhenzong. For this reason, he did not dare to return home to avoid suspicion.

Zongze, who was not far away, was also woken up and said angrily: "Listening to this scream, it must be Mr. Zhang Shuye. Is Zhang Qi trying to persuade him?" Mr. Zong, Zhang Shuye, still maintained a certain respect, but towards Zhang Shuye. I don't like people who are lucky enough to get ahead like Qi.

While he was talking, a circle of people had gathered around him, all asking what happened. But if the official insisted on traveling westward and something happened again, then Yang Yizhong should really be executed.

Wang Anshi's logic was still perfect, "No, it's really an official matter. Zhang Qi still has time to comfort him, so he should have cried together!"

Everyone agreed.Sure enough, after a while, Zhang Dun, who was also a neighbor of the two, came out and said, "Everyone, please leave. Save some face for Mr. Zhang. His descendants are unworthy and he has no face to see others."

As soon as these words were said, most of the people's expressions changed. Whose descendants don't have many scum?There are also people whose great-grandsons were unable to escape in time to surrender, and their ancestors were about to be reincarnated alive.

Zhang Dun was also afraid of offending the public, especially when he saw his mentor Wang Anshi and his brothers were very angry, so he quickly told the story about Zhang Shuye's son.

There was an outcry in the town.He was already a prime minister during his lifetime, so who still believes in these obscene sacrifices?
Someone else asked: "How did the officials handle it?"

"The officials tied up this traitor and sank it in the Yellow River. I thank God and clean up the house for me." Zhang Shuye came out with a hoarse voice, and said in a deep voice.

　Zhang Zhongxiong, the son of Zhang Shuye, a famous minister of the Song Dynasty, once led troops with his father and brother to fight against the Jin Dynasty.But later he surrendered to the puppet Qi and Jin Dynasty and became a traitor.In the novel "Dang Kou Zhi" written by Yu Wanchun, this person has many appearances.

　　So it's really a tiger father and a dog son.
