After Shao Song

Chapter 157 The hornet's nest

As the capital was about to be moved, explosive news broke out in Tokyo: Most of the civil and military officials of the imperial court were almost sick at home due to an unexpected and bad incident in the palace. The degree of attrition was even worse than when the Jin army came to their homes.

Let’s start from the beginning, in early March, when spring plowing has just come to an end.All the troops who went to Yanjing to take charge of the relocation schedule have returned, and the commanders were also involved in the change of defense areas, so a lot of people came.

The spring light is melting, the spring breeze is making wine, and the water ripples slightly.The best time of the year.Zhao Guan's family was in the Wuming Pavilion in his harem, surrounded by a group of close courtiers, and a shower of apricot blossoms drifted from a distance.The comfortable weather and beautiful artistic conception made Zhao Guan's family and ministers feel comfortable.

Zhao Jiu sighed, "Thirteen years ago, when I led the army back, I only felt that the whole of Tokyo was dilapidated, with a population of less than 13. The Emperor's imperial garden, Kenyue, looked ironic. After so many years, it has been almost transformed. Qingming Shanghehe The beauty is back. But I have to leave, and I’m really reluctant to part with it.”

Although it was him who said it, no one would be stupid enough to advise him not to move the capital.Instead, Wan Qixi hurriedly said: "Today in Tokyo, the officials came to rebuild the world. This is still the capital of the Song Dynasty. It will definitely be a different world when we arrive in Yanjing. The officials don't need to be sad."

Zhao Jiucai was not sentimental, he just said that, and then discussed the administrative divisions with Zhao Ding.

That's right, the Zhao Guan family has been an official for more than ten years, and I really admire the cleverness of all the ancestors. If you say that such a big place is divided into so many roads, states, and counties, it would be strange if there are not too many officials and too many people!Now the Song Dynasty he governed by Zhao Jiu is at least twice as large as the Renzong Dynasty, and many administrative divisions must be changed.

For example, Dizhou was merged into Shenzhou, and the two Hebei roads were directly merged into Hebei Road.Of course, it also depends on the actual situation. For example, the two Jingdong roads cannot be merged rashly because there are too many people here and the traffic roads are different, making it inconvenient to manage.

As a result, many people's positions will be adjusted, but don't worry, now that the Song Dynasty has a large territory, there will always be a place for you to be an official.But if you think the place is remote, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to do it. There are plenty of people who are willing to do it.

Zhao Ding, Liu Ji, and Li Guang all felt that this was a big project that not only required on-site inspections, but also handled with caution.It was best to start the pilot project in the north and implement it slowly. Zhao Jiu respected Zaizhi's opinion and formulated a three-year plan.

This change in administrative divisions is naturally related to the garrison of commanders and ministers, which is why so many people came.

Comrade Wang De was named and criticized by Zhao Guanjia again because of military discipline issues.

He was not angry, and said: "Since Wu Jinshi joined the army, the officials have really improved a lot, but the armies that were worse than ours were all taken to Jiaozhi by King Han Qin to fight. It seems that I, Lao Wang, don’t have a long memory.”

Han Shizhong held the jade belt and said sternly, "What? You actually blame me."

"I don't dare." Wang De had something on his mind and had no time to argue with him, "Officials, since Jiaozhi has become Annan Road, Dali will naturally not keep it anymore. You see..."

Before he finished speaking, Xin Wenyu, who had always been cautious, suddenly changed his expression and interrupted the Longxi County Prince's words: "No, hurry up and protect him."

As if to confirm what he said, the handsome ministers present here, all of whom have sharp ears and eyes, heard the "buzzing" sound coming from far away, and then the black wasps in the air came straight to the Wuming Pavilion - everyone is accompanied by meat today. I'm drinking honey tea.

Without even thinking about it, Yang Yizhong quickly tore off a piece from the curtain next to him and covered Zhao Guan's head.Then he and Zhai Biao prepared to help Zhao Guan's family run away.Unexpectedly, his skills were not up to par and Zhao Guan's family could not see anything.He actually fell to the ground.At this time, the Imperial Banzhi didn't know what to do. Seeing the wasps arriving, he had no choice but to use human flesh as a shield to protect his lord.

But don't forget, there are not only Zhao Guan's family here, but also many prime ministers, ministers, and handsome ministers!After all, Zhao Ding was in his fifties. He took two steps and was caught by a wasp. He tried to hide but sprained his foot.

Liu Ji was good at water and simply ran to the lake to escape, but others were not so lucky.They are all elderly people. How many of them can be faster than Ma Feng?And I don’t know what species it is. The more you run away, the more it stings you.

The commanders were able to run, but seeing that Zhao Guan's family was injured, no one could escape.They had no choice but to wave their robes to drive away the wasps.With great difficulty, Liu Yan called all the maids and maids to help. He also brought a large jar of honey and various raw and cooked meats from the imperial kitchen, and finally fed the bees and dispersed them.

However, good meetings often turn into messes.Almost everyone from officials to important ministers were injured.

Such a serious incident happened.Of course, we had to get to the bottom of it, but it turned out that there was no need to investigate at all. The culprit was the third prince Zhao Dan, who was only eight years old.

It is said that because Zhao Guan's family is simple, he doesn't repair the imperial garden very much.There was a hornet's nest on a big tree in the southwest corner. These three princes were the naughtiest among the direct children of the royal family, commonly known as naughty children. In the past two years, his mother, Concubine Wu, had not cared about her eldest son's homework or raising his youngest daughter. With so much energy to control him, he is more and more like a monkey grandson before he makes a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace. As soon as he sees this novelty, he wants to take it off and take it back to play.The servants and imperial squad who followed him were so frightened that they almost knelt down before this young master, so they stopped him.

But how could the third prince who hated dogs give up so easily?This day, I still threw everyone away, and found a bamboo pole by myself, and poked down the hornet's nest.

In the end, these wasps were unreasonable. Instead of looking for the culprit, they went straight to Zhao Guan's house and a bunch of important officials, causing the most serious casualties in the Song Dynasty in the past ten years.

To be frank, the Third Prince has come down with this bamboo pole.It is really comparable to the power of the second prince of the Jin Kingdom under Tokyo City.

Although the Zhao Guan family knew that their third son was naughty and mischievous, his two older brothers were still reasonable and knew how to advance and retreat.What did he say to you, and he promised to forget it the next day. Father-son communication usually relies on beatings, but I didn't expect him to be so capable of causing trouble.

Immediately ignoring Yang Yizhong's obstruction, he took off the gold belt from his waist, went up and gave him a good beating.This little bastard dared to cause trouble, but he was so soft-boned that he attracted all the female relatives with howling like ghosts and wolves. Of course, no one in Zhao Guan's family dared to stop him. Concubine Wu only dared to plead and cry, but it was Yiyou who watched her father beat her. When he was tired, he persuaded: "Dad, calm down. The third brother made a mistake. You can teach him and then beat him later, but it is better to send the imperial doctor to you first." Zhao Guan's family had already sent the imperial doctor to him, but after his daughter reminded him, It's better to let the little brat go and go visit the ministers' homes.

The next day, Zhao Jiu saw that [-] of the [-] important ministers had taken leave, and those who were working sick had gauze scarves wrapped around their heads.Regardless of Concubine Wu's crying, she angrily beat Zhao Dan with a cane.All the chamberlains, guards and maids who followed him were all fined.Zhao Dan himself was banned until he moved the capital. He had to write the "Book of Filial Piety" one more time every day. If he missed a word, he was not allowed to eat.

Because Zhang Rong was not involved in the issue of defense switching, he was not brutally attacked that day, but he still received a gift from Zhao Guan's family - a set of enlightenment martial arts teaching materials and a beautifully crafted children's version of the Panlong Stick.Madam Zhang Sanniang was asked by name to practice martial arts well.He, the father, couldn't control this bastard anymore and allowed his daughter-in-law to use violence to suppress him.As long as he is not dead or disabled.He absolutely doesn't care.

Only then did Zhang Rong find out what serious crime the third prince had committed.Under the descriptions of many colleagues, this Liangshan hero had the idea of ​​​​breaking off the engagement for the first time.But seeing my daughter play with all kinds of sticks with ease, I swallowed my heart again.

In fact, he just thought about it, you are a fisherman, and you can be the in-laws of the emperor, what else can't you think about?
After their unscrupulous brothers Zhao Xu and Zhao Yang heard about this, they actually went to the place where the third prince was confined to tell him the "good news". Zhao Dan was eight years old after all, and trembled and said: "She, she won't really dare to hit me, right? I'm the prince."

"My father asked Zhang Sanniang to beat him, why didn't she dare?" Regardless of the eldest prince Zhao Xu and his compatriots, they had actually been provoked by this little bastard, and today was the day to take revenge, "And I heard The two girls in the Zhang family are both very good at martial arts. Even Zhai Laojiu admires the wife of Minister Yu (Yu Yunwen) for her swordsmanship, but she doesn’t hit anyone because she cares about her husband. If you are obedient in the future, you should get beaten less!"

Zhao Dan suddenly felt that the future of life was bleak, and cried "Wow".
