Chapter 11
There are many original places in Guanzhong, so there is a saying of "running to a dead horse on the original place", and once you encounter a water swamp, it will be even more difficult to travel and march.Thinking back to the Battle of Yaoshan in Song and Jin Dynasties, the Song Army took advantage of these two advantages and gathered the combat power of the entire remnant of the Western Army and the imperial camp army to achieve the fruits of victory in an offensive and defensive manner.

Of course, in Qu Duan's words, Wu Jie and Liu Ziyu saw the right eye at that time.This statement is a bit ambiguous, but it is undeniable that the strategic thinking of the two is very similar, and their personal relationship has been good since then.

Therefore, Liu Ziyu hurriedly rushed for a month and finally entered Guanzhong before the rainy season.He first went to Chang'an to pick up Mr. Yuwen by bus, and on behalf of the emperor and the court, he recognized his great contribution for nearly ten years. He stayed for a few days to attend to official duties, and after attending the farewell banquet of Mr. Yuwen, he walked slowly to Yan'an Prefecture's Fushi, after hearing all the explosive gossip about the Wu family and his son, threw a thorn in the side of Prince Han's house.

This day happened to be May 25th, and the wheat on the plains was as golden as the waves. It was not as desolate and cold as it was seven years ago.

As a result, I just handed over the post in the morning, and agreed to visit the door the next day, but Wu Jie came to the door by himself in the afternoon.

Liu Ziyu looked at this old friend in front of him. It was probably because he had just recovered from a long illness. His typical yellow face turned out to be a little pale. Perhaps because Liu Ziyu lived in the official residence of Yan'an Mansion, he did not wear military uniforms or Hu clothes, but Dongpo's square scarf is coupled with a straight bamboo train, and a sword hangs on his waist.But the problem is that you, a tall and powerful Kansai man who can smell murderous aura with your eyes closed, no matter how you dress up, you don't look like a Taipei student outside Xuande Building. On the contrary, you are suspicious.

However, although the two people were in agreement, they did not have the kind of life-and-death friendship in history. In addition, there was a sensitive moment, so Liu Ziyu had to half-smile:

"Jin Qing (characterized by Wu Jie) is not fully recovered yet, why do you have to be so anxious?" Mr. Liu probably had just been promoted and was in a good mood. He had always been a quick-tempered man and actually started joking with Wu Jie.

Wu Jie smiled bitterly. His body had not fully recovered yet, and the pain affected his intelligence. And with such a thing happening, he had no intention of joking with Liu Ziyu. He only said: "Yan Xiu (Liu Ziyu's courtesy name), you are the ambassador. Originally It's time for me to come and pay you a visit. Besides, the house is in such a mess that I can't ask my husband to come over and have a talk."

To put it bluntly, based on their friendship, Liu Ziyu has become a prime minister. Now that he has come to Yan'an Mansion, he should also visit the two elders of the Wu family. But in his current state, Liu Ziyu kindly thinks that he should save some face for Wu Jie.So he changed the subject and said: "The friendship between you and me is not false. This time Mr. Yuwen also asked me to say hello to you. He is in a hurry to return to his hometown, so he can't come to visit. I hope you take care and see you soon. See you soon."

Wu Jie had also happily cooperated with this chief officer over the years. Hearing this, he became a little concerned and said, "Xiangong Yuwen left in such a hurry, which shows that the lady is indeed very ill."

Liu Ziyu sighed: "Yes, Mr. Yuwen has supported the overall situation of Guanxi for many years, and his wife has been alone in Beijing. Jin Qing also knows that I have always been on good terms with Zhang Deyuan (Zhang Jun). His wife is the niece of Mr. Yuwen. A few days ago, I go back to my parents' home to visit my aunt every day, but after all, I am over 60 years old and I just want to go back to my hometown. Mr. Yuwen also feels that his responsibilities have been fulfilled, so he is anxious to resign."

Wu Jie was also recovering from a serious illness, and he became more and more sad after hearing this. However, he was a political creature and could not really talk nonsense. He had always been "brave and resourceful", so he said: "Although Mrs. Yuwen's illness is a coincidence, However, Mr. Yu Wen was not a strong-tempered man at first, and his age was showing off. Now that the official Northern Expedition has been successful and Yanyun has been recovered, he also feels that his sins in Jingkang have been redeemed, and he has just retired with great success, becoming a true example of a minister."

Liu Ziyu glanced at him and actually followed him and said: "What Jin Qing said is absolutely true. Among these old officials, Li Gang and Li Gongxiang want to retire, Zong Zhongwu, Wang Zhongmu and Lu Zhongsu even pledge themselves to the country. Lu Gongxiang is only here." The family studies Yuan Xue. It is said that Xianggong Xu also plans to completely retire after the autumn harvest. There are rumors in the official family that Lin Jingmo will be appointed as the envoy to the southeast, but his place of origin is not suitable. Therefore, some people also recommended Yan Xiaozhong, the governor of Kaifeng."

Wu Jie said: "If you put it this way, Deputy Privy Councilor Chen Gui is already in his sixties. However, I heard that he is famous for his good health and his qualifications are not as good as these. He should not retire so soon."

Liu Ziyu smiled, took a slow sip of tea, and said, "That's what you're talking about. He is very greedy for the construction of the new capital of Yanjing. He would rather give up the position of Vice President and seek the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry." He made the person below who wanted to come up so angry that he privately scolded him as "too old to die is a thief."

Although Wu Jie was tactful, he had something on his mind after all. He could see it now. If you didn't take the initiative to mention it, Mr. Liu could continue chatting with you all over the world. But you couldn't get angry yet, so you had to smile bitterly again, " My brother Yanxiu, we have been friends for many years. I am anxious, so don’t talk in circles with me. I have had many problems dealing with the imperial army for many years, and I don’t dare to be greedy for power. I just want to know what happened to my father. Which direction is the trend?"

Liu Ziyu wasn't really playing tricks on him, he was just trying to cure his cunning. Hearing this, he said seriously: "If you want to ask the imperial court to participate in your memorial, all the generals combined can't compare with it. But after thinking about it, what you care about most is the official family." the opinion of."

"Mr. Sir, you know me." "Since I'm here, the officials really have something to say, but I have to tell you one by one."

Upon hearing this, Wu Jie immediately knelt down and said solemnly: "I obey your order."

"First, Wu Jie formed a team to investigate the wife and family of Zhang Yongzhen, the water god of the Huaihe River. She will see her when she is alive, and she will see her grave when she dies. This order will not be changed while I am here. If I am not here, I will hand it over to my descendants."

The dividing line of the small theater——
Selected from a long comment on Weibo
I was so angry after watching the two episodes last night. As expected, Wu Yanei’s uncle came to Kaifeng. He was called Jieshuai in the drama.Of course he was furious when he learned what his nephew had done, but "My eldest brother didn't fight enough in Yan'an, so what's the use of beating him anymore?" Then you couldn't control your nephew and actually bullied the second female lead.

The Jiaofang Secretary here got the news that Wu Jiedu invited his colleagues to serve the banquet. This was nothing in the Song Dynasty. It was her duty. However, the heroine was from Kansai and soon felt that something was wrong, "Guanxi people" My favorite thing is the joy of breaking the formation, the sound of clang, how come you, the Jiangnan pipa instructor, are asked to perform a minor tune?"

But because the second female lead, who was expected to leave the country, was overjoyed, she didn't care and went to perform as scheduled. Even though her singing and dancing were so moving, it still became her swan song. Uncle Wu came here just to force her to death. He even encouraged her with a bad excuse. The soldiers of the Western Army pulled up their clothes and scolded: "You are a pillow for thousands of people, I am afraid that even your parents will not think highly of you."

This completely crushed the second female lead. She was originally from Bianliang. She was not convicted but was sold away from her parents while fleeing. She was so excited that she committed suicide by diving into the water. The sad thing is that Wu Yanei ran out but didn't. He dared to save her, but he was still an oil seller who had admired her for many years. After hearing what Song Wanru said about this, he couldn't swim but still held a piece of wood to save her. But it was still a step too late, and the beauty died and went to meet her in another world. Relatives. "I am the daughter of a good family in Tokyo. My name is Xin Yaoqin."

The tragic death of her good sister made the heroine not to risk her life. With Song Wanru and the oil seller as two witnesses, she would rather take twenty hits than sue Wu Jieshuai for killing someone.The governor of Kaifeng at that time did not dare to neglect and went straight to Tianting.

At this point, Song Shizu officially appeared. Any emperor would probably not embarrass the powerful generals for the life of a musician, but that was Song Shizu who had just decided to abolish the slavery system and was the most considerate of the people at the bottom in history.He has always been saddened by the women in Tokyo who were sold to the Jin, fled and lost asylum. He believed that this was the shame of the Song Dynasty and the incompetence of the Zhao family.

So he just summoned Wu Jieshuai and asked, "If officers can still kill people wantonly, tell me, why have the monarchs and ministers worked so hard for these 12 years? What do the people of the world mean to you?"

Wu Jieshuai argued that she was a lowly woman and that she jumped into the river by herself. Shizu said nothing, but there was heavy disappointment in his eyes.I have to say that Teacher Liu Yijun rarely plays a positive role and is quite impressive.

Immediately, Wu Lin, the deputy commander of the capital, dismissed the envoys from the monarch, and all the generals of the Western Army who participated in the incident were punished.

Although "The Shadow of Drunken Flowers" is a semi-fictional drama, there is real evidence for Wu Lin's incident. "Lin summoned an official to sleep with him in Tokyo, but he died because of it. Some of his colleagues were angry and sued the official." For this reason, Shizu deposed Jie. He fulfilled his duties and formally terminated his daughter's engagement.He also formally issued an edict: "The centuries-old ills of the Western Army have been ignored in the past. They must be eradicated today to lead the Song Dynasty." Of course, Wu Lin is also a national hero, but historical limitations mean that he does not regard prostitutes as human beings.

It is said that Wu Jie personally went to Tokyo to apologize for this and asked to resign. However, after being comforted by Shizu, he did not continue to panic.On the contrary, Wu Lin was greatly hit by this incident. In the 16th year of Jianyan's reign, he drank too much and died. After his death, he was awarded the posthumous title "Huaixian" to Xia Guogong for his meritorious service.

The year after his death, the imperial court began to abolish the low-ranking system, which lasted ten years and succeeded in the 27th year of Jianyan.

The later "The Oil Seller Monopolizes the Oiran" was adapted based on this real incident, and it was just the oiran in the play, which finally had a good result.

 It is said that Xiao Liu should be the kind of person who seeks truth from facts and talks about things. The setting here is that he should be told not to play straight with Wu Jie.
