The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 60 Who is it?

on the pier.

Zhang Yuan: "Father, come back."

Zhang Dun shook his head, and Cai Jing thought that someone wanted to destroy his clan.

Zhang Dun also saw that someone wanted to destroy the Cai Jing clan.

So, will the next one be his Zhang family?

Thinking of this, Zhang Dun said: "Fifth brother, do a few things secretly for my father. You can do it yourself. My father wants to test who is behind this?"

"Yes!" Zhang Yuan agreed.

There was a trace of fear in Zhang Dun's heart. This kind of invisible enemy was the most terrifying.

He had no doubt that if it was his Zhang family's turn, if he couldn't handle it, the Zhang family might also be wiped out.

Talk about both sides.

Pan Yi arrived at Cao Mansion and went straight to Cao Yang's courtyard in the third room.

There are also some concubines and concubines in the Cao family.It's no problem to chat a little on weekdays and be polite when meeting.Today is a big event, and the only person I can find is the legitimate son of the Cao family.

At this time, the Cao family took Cao Yi's branch as the clan, and the rest as its side.

The eldest son, Cao Ping, has only one legitimate daughter and several concubines who are still young.Cao Shi, the second wife of the Cao family, married a princess of Xu State and had no issue.There are three brothers and sisters in the Cao family. Cao Yang is the legitimate concubine and has several brothers and sisters.

In terms of seniority, Pan Yi didn't dare to go to Cao Ping.

So, he went to Cao Yang's courtyard.

Pan Yi entered Cao Yang's room, closed the door, and stretched out his hand to untie his robe.

Cao Yang, who was changing clothes and preparing to take a nap, looked at Pan Yi with a horrified look on his face: "You, you, you..." Pan Yi didn't say anything, picked up the kettle and drank, then sat on the ground: "Say something. thing."

Pan Yi told what happened in the early morning.

After speaking, he asked: "Your Cao family will follow. I don't know who else is in your Cao family, Cao Sheng? Cao Zhuo? Or from other houses, Cao Xian? Cao Kuang? Who else?"

Cao Yang laughed loudly: "I can't tell you who it is, I can only let you know that it is indeed my Cao family."

"Brother Yang, you are unjust."

Cao Yang: "I'm not honest. How did Guo Zhongxiao get out of jail? How dare you say that I'm not honest."

Pan Yi: "These are two different things."

Cao Yang just smiled but didn't answer.

He can't say.

This matter involves too many things. It's not that Pan Yi can't be trusted, but that his uncle Cao Ping is back. Without Cao Ping's attitude, Cao Yang knows very well that there are some things that cannot be said.

Although there are more swords in his head than words, he understands that it has not been easy for Cao Mansion for so many years and he has to be careful.

Don't talk nonsense unless the head of the family speaks.

What's more, he couldn't understand what happened in the court.

When Pan Yi was about to ask, a general from the Cao family knocked on the door: "Brother Yang, the official edict is here. Quickly change your clothes and go out to greet me."

"Here we come." Cao Yang jumped up.

According to the edict, Cao Yang was appointed Marquis of Yu. He immediately reported to the Forbidden Army and prepared everything within two days. In the early morning of the third day, the officials inspected the summer harvest.Then there is a bunch of nonsense, such as being considerate of the state capital, being simple and obedient, and so on.

This time, the total number of people does not exceed a thousand. It has been decided how many officials and nobles will accompany them. Zheng Cairen from the palace will also go there, and how many female family members of the noble nobles will accompany them to pray for the pregnant Queen Empress when she goes to Zhongyue Temple...

The Queen is the wife of Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji married into the palace when he was still King Duan. After Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he was named queen.

She is currently pregnant, as recorded in the medical records, she is nine months pregnant.

Zheng Cairen was the female official who was originally beside the Empress Dowager, one of the two female officials Zhao Ji often wanted to take a look at when he was still King Duan.

Another person named Wang, who is now the Lord of Shouchang County, did not accompany him this time.

In the early morning of the third day, the emperor went out.

Patrol the world.

That is from Kaifeng to Songshan.

It's not that far, just three hundred miles.

Zhao Ji personally checked the auspicious days and found that the Gengchen year, Guiwei month, and Guiyou day were auspicious days for getting married.

That is, June [-]th in the third year of Yuanfu.

Therefore, he personally set a time to return to Bianjing on June [-]th.

No matter what the delay is, it cannot delay Liang Xin's marriage.In Zhao Ji's heart, from June [-] onwards, Liang Xin would never have anything to do with buildings, courtyards, pavilions and columns.

It is impossible for Cao Tan to allow Liang Xin to go to these places.

Travel.

The most shining scenery is not the emperor's car, nor the harem.

Cao family.

Cao Tan wore the armor given to her by Liang Xin and led nine female cavalrymen, riding in the group of female relatives.

Riding in a carriage, Cao Tan would get motion sick while sitting on that thing.

Liang Xin, sitting in her carriage, felt dizzy and sleepy.

Because it's too shaky.

Walk all the way, shake all the way.

When heading west out of Bianjing City, the first stop is Huangzhuang.

The convoy did not enter the village, only Liang Xin accompanied Zhao Ji, and a few people such as Han Zhongyan and Zeng Bu entered.

Zhao Youfu is a ruthless person and reliable in his work.

Rivers of blood flowed from the imperial village, and everyone from the eunuchs in charge to the ordinary stewards in the village were killed or demoted to slaves.

Put your own people on guard.

Use the money from confiscating their homes to reward the tenants.

Even though spring plowing was delayed by a month, all the fields were replanted with beans, sorghum and other crops that could be used as food. Rapeseed, papaya (cucumber), and watermelon were also planted in the small plots at the corners. of.

Looking at the greenery in the field, Zhao Ji felt nothing.

He never cared whether the property was good or not.

However, when hundreds of tenant farmers came and knelt down and shouted Zhao Ji Shengming, Zhao Ji smiled happily.

Liang Xin whispered from the side: "It was the officials who issued edicts to eradicate evil, and that's how we got this good land and the praises of all the people. Why don't we let the two princes compose a poem."

"Okay." Zhao Ji liked this.

Compose poetry.

For Han Zhongyan and Zeng Bu, this is simpler than eating.

What's more, any minister will love and promote agriculture on the surface.

Another day, Fuzhou.

This is the name used by the official documents of the Song Dynasty. The real name is Zheng*zhou. Ranked by population and total economic volume, it is considered to be one of the top ten largest cities in the Song Dynasty.

In the south of Fuzhou, Liang Xin handed Zhao Ji a golden sickle with a rosewood handle.

"Officials, it's because you became the emperor that we had such a good harvest. Just pull a few lines in the field, and I'll ask the historian to erect a monument for you, and then order the painter to make some pictures of the official family and the people."

"Okay, okay, okay." Zhao Ji said three good words in a row.

Liang Xin brought Zhao Ji out, was it really just for the wheat harvest?
Do not!
Not a day later, Zhongyue Temple.

Taoist Master Qingfeng, the master of the Guanzhong, had gone into hiding a few days ago, using the name of bigu to avoid being seen. He was not ashamed to be associated with him.

However, someone was working for Liang Xin.

Zhao Ji asked for a fortune in the palace of Emperor Zhenwu.

After a complicated ceremony, four words were obtained.

Feng, Heng, Yu, Da!

What solution?

Liang Xin gave an explanation.

"The official family, according to my interpretation of the Book of Changes, represents the prosperity of the Song Dynasty and the prosperity of the country, so the official family and ministers can enjoy it happily."

Zhao Ji laughed until his teeth dropped: "Wonderful. Pass the imperial edict, grant 500 million yuan, and add 500 million incense."

This explanation is correct.

These four characters come from the hexagram names taken from the "Book of Changes".

It's almost the same if Zhao Ji explains it himself.

This was a small episode, and the only people who knew about it were the emperor, Liang Xin, and Liang Shicheng who was standing aside.

After finishing this matter, when Zeng Bu, Han Zhongyan and others arrived, Liang Xin had already left through the side door.
