The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 24

"After returning to my mother, when I was studying in the imperial study, I saw an ancient book that said that everything must be investigated first before it has the right to speak. Otherwise, don't jump to conclusions on ambiguous matters. Another month will be New Year's Eve , the imperial court happened to be on vacation for ten days. My son, I am going to take my concubine Quan to her hometown Kuaiji (now Shaoxing). Kuaiji belongs to Zhexi Road, which is the place where the public land law is implemented. I can go to the field to investigate the people's conditions. Listen to the following People’s reflections, let’s judge whether the public land law is good or bad, and secondly, Concubine Quan hasn’t been back to her hometown for several years, so she happened to go home to visit her relatives.”

Xie Daoqing thought for a while and said, "It's right to go home with Jiu'er to visit relatives, but Kuaiji is still some distance away from Lin'an, is this road safe?"

"Don't worry, mother, this distance is nothing, not to mention that this road is the territory of our Great Song Dynasty. The child can bring [-] imperial guards. There are official roads along the way, and they are all guarded by Xiang troops. There will be no safety. Question. In addition, Haier plans to form a youth guard, the number of which will not exceed [-], and only recruit young people aged [-] or [-]. If they travel in the future, they can be escorted by this team, so that it will not affect the people in the palace. Defended."

"It's good for the officials to have their own ideas. It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read a thousand volumes. The queen mother will support it. But, what establishment will the officials assign this young guard?"

"The boy plans to be incorporated into the Imperial Guard first."

"That's fine too."

The Imperial Guard Commander is Xie Daoqing's younger brother, so Xie Daoqing is naturally at ease.

Regarding the public land law, I can delay it for a day. Xie Daoqing has been in a difficult family since he was a child, so he attaches great importance to the land. In addition, most of his cronies and relatives are big landlords, so he should be against the public land law. Although Xie Daoqing Did not comment on this.

The public land law is Jia Sidao's only "political achievement". Once I completely abolish it, I think it's time to turn against Jia Sidao.

"Officials, we've neglected Jiu'er, the birthday star. Today is a birthday party, and we're involved in court affairs again. Shouldn't it, come, Jiu'er has wine and food." Xie Dao counted it in time Changed the topic.

Today's small family banquet should be regarded as a very harmonious family banquet. In Zhao Yu's memory, it seems to be the first time.

After drinking and eating, Xie Daoqing said: "Today is Jiu'er's birthday, you should go back to rest earlier, Jiu'er, you go outside and wait, I still have a few words to talk to the officials."

"Yes, Empress Dowager, Jiu'er will leave first."

After Quan Jiu left, Xie Daoqing said: "Guan Jia, the Queen Mother drank some wine today, and I want to use this alcohol to say something from my heart to the Guan family."

I was a little stunned and said: "If the mother has something to say, please tell me."

Xie Daoqing looked at me and said: "My mother has been in the palace for decades. Over the years, I have faced internal and external troubles. Although Meng Gong destroyed the gold, Mongolia rose again in the north. The first emperor had a weak personality. There was history before him, and there was Ding Ding later." Daquan, Jia Sidao and others, although determined to rejuvenate at the beginning of their pro-government, adopted reform measures such as dismissing the Shi Party, pro-promoting Taiwan admonitions, clarifying the administration of officials, and rectifying finances (historically known as "duanpingchanghua"). However, in the face of complex In the political environment, the first emperor finally changed his mind so much that he did nothing until he died. He put all his hopes on you. Today I heard this poem from the official family. I am very happy. Although the official family was not born to my mother, the official family is still from my Zhao family. This great Song dynasty is now in the hands of the official family. The mother is just a Taoist family, but I also hope that I can see the prosperity of the court and the official family can become Eternal Mingjun."

From some personal records of the late Emperor Yushufang, I can also see that the late Emperor Lizong also had the ideal of rejuvenating the Song Dynasty, but he has not been able to establish his own team, and he is far from the enemy of Shi Miyuan in the political struggle. Fallen into wine and sex.

After listening to Xie Daoqing's words, I suddenly felt pleasantly surprised. What surprised me was that Xie Daoqing could see my ambition from this poem alone. In this way, the Qianlong Zaiyuan in my plan had been seen through. What made me happy was that Xie Daoqing seemed very happy. I hope I can rejuvenate the Song Dynasty. If I can get the support of Xie Daoqing, then my plan of Laxie and Jia can be implemented. Two of the three powers are combined in one place. Let's fight for power.

"Queen, the child will surely live up to high expectations."

Xie Daoqing showed a smile: "It's so good. I think the late emperor was ambitious when he first came to the throne, but he didn't last long. The officials need to look at the world and clean things up. Don't give up halfway."

"The boy knows."

"Officials, I am very pleased to talk about my mother today. You can spend good time with Jiu'er tonight."

"Yes, mother."

As soon as Quan Jiu and I left Ningkun Palace, Quan Jiu couldn't wait to ask: "Is it true that the officials said that they will bring their ministers and concubines back to their hometown Kuaiji after the end of the year?"

"of course it's true."

Quan Jiu excitedly grabbed my hand and said, "Thank you, the official family, this concubine really misses my hometown."

"I remember Concubine Quan said that your old house is backed by Kuaiji Mountain. There are beautiful mountains and clear waters, and there are few people there. It must be a big area."

"Yes, the manor of Chen Qie's family is very large, but most of them are mountains with overgrown vegetation, but they are not suitable for growing crops."

"Then is there anyone in your hometown?"

"My youngest brother, Quanjue, is still there. A few years ago, after the concubine entered the palace, the first emperor rewarded the concubine's family. Except for Quanjue, they are all in Lin'an City."

"Then why is Quan Jue unwilling to come to Beijing?"

"Speaking of the younger brother, Chenqie, it is very interesting. Quanjue has been clever but stubborn since he was a child. He is curious about weird things and often has unexpected ideas. The family has hired countless teachers, but they are all pissed off because they can't answer his questions. When he was ten years old, he got the name of "Strange Boy". Later, his teacher Shen Yiqiu happened to pass by Kuaiji, and the old and the young didn't know how they met, so Quanjue asked his family to worship Shen Yiqiu as his teacher. By the way, this Shen Yiqiu Yiqiu is a descendant of Shen Kuo. Mr. Shen liked the scenery at the foot of Kuaiji Mountain very much, and he also liked his younger brother very much, so he stayed at the concubine's house for almost ten years. Quanjue didn't want to leave, probably because of Mr. Shen The reason is that I have always been in my hometown."

"A descendant of Shen Kuo? Shen Kuo, the author of "Mengxi Bi Tan"?"

"Well, that's right. Quanjue admires his master so much."

People in later generations know that Shen Kuo was an outstanding scientist in the Song Dynasty, and he can even be said to be a rare generalist in the scientific world, covering almost every field.In ancient China, many sciences were classified as alternatives and received little attention, let alone specific applications.The era in which Shen Kuo lived was the period of Wang Anshi's political reform. Shen Kuo was upright and upright. This character led him to be ambivalent in political struggles. After Shen Kuo died, no one built a monument for him, nor wrote an epitaph for him. The biography of his life is only attached to "Song History Biography of Shen Yu", so its popularity is far less than that of later generations.

Shen Kuo was a talented man with a high reputation, but he was criticized painfully during his lifetime and died only in depression.

As a scientist, Shen Kuo is a winner, but as a politician, Shen Kuo is a loser.

If that Shen Yiqiu had half of Shen Kuo's ability in the field of science, I would have found a treasure, not to mention the strange boy Quanjue.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing: "Really? Haha, these are two talents."

Quan Jiu asked puzzledly: "Talent? Is this "Meng Xi Bi Tan" good? Don't the officials think so. When he was alive, his father said that Quan Jue would not be very successful in the future."

People in this era naturally don't know the importance of science. As a literati, Shen Kuo's name is far inferior to Zhu Xi, Su Shi and others.

I didn't explain it, and I couldn't explain it, so I just laughed it off: "Concubine Quan, let's go, go back to Ninghan Palace."

The night was dark and the breeze was blowing.

The sky is starry.
