After Shao Song

Chapter 9 Murder

Time always throws people away, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors.The Lantern Festival is over, and February is quickly entering. Although spring has returned, the grass is growing, and the birds are flying, the central officials still have no time to gather. Otherwise, isn't the spring plowing about to begin?
In the past ten years, the politics of the Song Dynasty gradually stabilized, the economy continued to recover, and the population inevitably grew. For any country with a large population, farming is a top priority, otherwise the Zhao Guan family would not have dealt with Shang Zhi after the Battle of Huolu. The governor of the unliberated Hebei and Yanyun regions issued a decree to protect agricultural production. It was thanks to his actions that large-scale famine did not occur last year. However, after the war, he reduced the army, granted farmland, and appeased the refugees. The imperial court's grain reserves in recent years are about to bottom out, so Prime Minister Zhao Ding attaches great importance to this spring plowing. As the provincial prime minister, he has repeatedly issued instructions to envoys from the southeast and northwest and spring plowing inspection teams, whether it is inherent territory or new conquests. All regions must cultivate the land well and work hard to produce.

Even Deputy Prime Minister Liu Ji was sent out by him to inspect the circular economy benefits of mulberry fish ponds along the Yellow River in recent years. If it is good, he can continue to try to implement it on the north bank of the Yellow River. If it is not, make corrections quickly.

Since Zhao Guan's family is less involved in specific affairs, he, as the prime minister, has to be even busier. But he is already in his fifties after all. He finally couldn't bear it and dragged his exhausted body home to rest. As a result, he hadn't eaten yet. After dinner, Li Qiong and Wang Lun, the minister of Honglu Temple, came to the door angrily.

"What, you said that the officials killed more than 100 captives somehow!"

Li Qiong smiled bitterly, "If that were not the case, how could you dare to alarm your husband? To be honest, these Jurchen dogs have no blood debt from my people in the Song Dynasty, so they will be killed. Now that they have lost their morale, they are no different from pigs waiting to be slaughtered. On the other side of Yuetai, in addition to the [-] troops led by Xiaguan, there are also the cavalry of Qu Duanbu. They don't dare to work hard as coolies to open up wasteland and cultivate, but..." After saying that, he glanced at Wang Lun.

Wang Lun was also a naughty man. He originally expected Li Qiongquan to tell him. After all, it was his job to take care of the prisoners. But it was a matter of his own, so he had no choice but to say: "Ms. sir, we have already agreed with Xiliao that these prisoners are It's going to be sold to them. The reason why I still keep some of it is just to argue over trade issues. It's not a big deal to kill those Jurchens, but if you don't know what the officials are thinking."

Hearing this, Zhao Ding still didn't understand. The chief official in charge of diplomacy was afraid that officials would be addicted to killing people. It was okay to have 200 or [-] people missing. If it was too outrageous, it would be a diplomatic incident.Especially now that Kansai coach Wu Jie is seriously ill, and his younger brother Wu Lin is far less prestigious than his elder brother. If you are not careful, a diplomatic incident can turn into a war incident.

Zhao Ding also knew that the matter was very important, but he instinctively said: "No, officials are not bloodthirsty people. If these prisoners were to be killed, they would have been killed. There must be a reason for this, but I just don't know why. It's not good." Persuaded."

After saying this, my brain, which was already numb from exhaustion, finally functioned as normal. Seeing the two civil and military officials hesitate to speak, I understood that the ministers may know about this, but they did not dare to say a word.But as the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, it was different. He could ask directly.

Zhao Ding had no choice but to say: "Okay, the truth will enter the palace tomorrow to ask for an interview."

Li Qiong and Wang Lun rushed to compliment him, but they were also smart people. Seeing that Prime Minister Zhao was exhausted, he quickly left.

But God will not allow him to have a good rest tonight, even if he is struggling with his front and back legs, the concierge hurriedly came to report, "My lord, the king of Jingsai County, Yang Tongzhi, is here."

Zhao Ding paused and accepted his fate: "Please."

The next day, Deputy Privy Councilor Han Shizhong went to court in person and pointed out that after his identification, some of the prisoners in the imperial camp had fought with him in Luoyang. They were the evildoers who destroyed the tombs of our ancestors in the Song Dynasty and deserved a thousand punishments. The punishment of being cut into pieces with ten thousand swords.

Veteran General Lu Qing, who has been awarded the honorary title, and Xiao Zhai Zhai Xing, the current military commander of the Royal Camp, who was born in a local tycoon in Luoyang, also support this view.

So the officials were furious and executed all these people.

The government and the public were suddenly quiet, and Zhao Ding took the lead in praising the sageness of the officials. Originally, the father and brother were imprisoned by the officials, which would inevitably be ridiculed as unfilial.But one yard counts for one yard. These days, even in the 21st century, digging people's ancestral graves is a sworn enemy.Many ministers automatically thought that he was very strict with his father and brothers who caused harm to the Song Dynasty, but he did not necessarily have opinions on the ancestors. Even if he had opinions, the descendants of this man would not be able to swallow this breath.In the past, it was fine if there were no conditions, but now I still bear it, thinking about Taozi.So the butler's move was extremely correct, and even the Qing side was shocked and trembling after hearing about it, but that's another story.

But Zhao Guan's family didn't express anything. After returning to the palace, they summoned Yang Yizhong in the Wuming Pavilion and said, "Zhengfu (Yang Yizhong) is disappointed in me."

"Whatever the official said, the minister would never dare."

"You and I, monarchs and ministers, why should we talk like this? After all, after these ten years, I can no longer tolerate many things, which made you lie to me. But Zhengfu, I really couldn't bear it at the beginning. God bless her. , up to now, I can only rely on soothing soup to sleep." Having said this, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. When he took him back, he was confused about these two cheap daughters, and he was completely incompetent. He didn't have much contact with them in these years. , I only know that this child is thoughtful.However, the moment she saw Shenyou lose her composure and go crazy, Zhao Jiu really wanted to kill someone, and she did so.

Yang Yizhong stood up quickly and said: "Guan family, I must tell the truth. I am also a father. If my daughter is frightened and convulsed because she saw the thief who almost insulted her relatives, then I am afraid that I will kill someone. "To put it mildly, in fact, Shenyou saw the Jurchen captives who insulted her biological mother Jiang Shufei (posthumous title) and aunt Queen Xing.

After all, he said it directly. Didn't he explain the emperor's crown of green?
So the question is, how could the second princess, who was always so calm and timid, walk out of the palace and see the Jurchen captives working as coolies to the west of the Yuetai.

Of course, it was because the Zhao Guan family insisted on taking their daughter to relax.

As we all know, Her Royal Highness Princess Shenyou was betrothed to Wu Fu, Wu Jie's son, by her father. This time Wu Jie was seriously ill. Wu Fu, who was originally studying in Taixue, quickly asked for leave and went home. Zhao Guan's family has been busy recently and the center stopped him. In order to stop him from running around, he suddenly had an idea and took his daughter to inspect the military camp. Maybe the majestic military posture could cure her inner uneasiness.

As a result, the Zhao Guan family now wished they could slap themselves twice. Fortunately, Foyou is a good sister, and she is doing her best to take care of her younger sister, and talked a lot with Zhao Guan's family.

Zhao Guanjia, who had studied psychology to some extent in his previous life, understood that his daughter might have suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder for a long time, and if she delayed treatment, it might be serious.

Facing Yang Yizhong, he confided for the first time, "Zhengfu, tell me, I will give another reward to the Wu family. Can you, can you cancel this marriage?"

He felt that it would be cruel to let a 13-year-old girl who still resisted contact with his father enter into marriage. He could afford to raise his daughter anyway. If he had known this, he would not have given her the marriage at all.

Yang Yizhong was shocked for a moment and then calmed down quickly. After thinking about it, he actually said seriously: "The official is the emperor, and he has nothing to do with it. But for the sake of military morale, it is best not now. What about King Wu Han?" Although civil servants don't care much about being crowned kings, every military general likes to be called king.

"Yes, Wu Jinqing's illness involves so many things." Zhao Guanjia sighed: "He is quite unlucky, and finally the world is at peace. Forget it, please send me the information about his illness as soon as possible."

　I have read the fanfic selected by Shao Song, so I gave this excerpt. I still prefer to believe that Zhao is different as a modern person and his love as an adoptive father.
