After Shao Song

Chapter 61
Not to mention that Zhao Guan's family used alcohol to analyze the two of them, but in the end they really drank too much, and forgot to give a clear signal to Ann, and the two fell asleep, and they dispatched four imperial squadrons to find them. A soft sedan chair was used to carry the person back to the sleeping hall.Yang Yizhong didn't care too much when he heard the commotion, so he hurried over to visit, and hurriedly asked the official to help him to sleep, and then dragged Zhai and Xin out to have a good reprimand.

It sounds like they can control the Zhao Guan family if they are willful?
After all this trouble, it was already bright, and the 12th year of Jianyan officially arrived.The beginning of spring and the New Year are an excellent sign. Seeing that the court has not pursued the case, acquaintances began to visit each other to pay New Year greetings. They scolded the rebel bastard Liu Xianggong for his incompetence, and then began to gossip about the trivial matters around them. The so-called children and grandchildren go around the bed. Let's go and let Weng Gu bask in the sun.

On the first day of the new year, Zhao Jiu was unable to appreciate the Hundred Scenes of Chang'an. He was so hungover that he didn't wake up until the afternoon. Hearing that Liu Xianggong had asked to see him several times, he thought something big was going on, so he quickly invited him in.

But what Liu Ziyu said next surprised him, "In the official family, I want to take three months' leave and take my family back to my ancestral home in Fujian Road, Jianzhou, to commemorate the tenth anniversary of my late father." As mentioned above, Liu Ziyu is the famous official Liu Kai. The eldest son, after Jingkang, Liu Kai lost all hope and committed suicide in the second year of Jianyan. Liu Ziyu returned to his hometown for burial and caught up with Xingzai. Through Zhang Jun's introduction, he became the right-hand man of Zhao Guan's family.As he rose through the ranks, he was so busy that he sent his younger brother back with his eldest son to perform sacrifices every year.Simply speaking, it is appropriate for a son to do simple things for his father.

But now that your husband is asking for leave to go back to his hometown, isn't it tantamount to resigning in disguise?
Zhao Jiu said: "What? I haven't even opened a court for interrogation. Isn't it true that Mr. Liu will convict himself?"

Liu Ziyu shook his head and said: "No, Guan Jia, I want to ask you, based on your kindness to the meritorious officials and my consistent performance, even if you are convicted, will it be worse than returning to your hometown?"

Zhao Jiu didn't answer, but smiled. He was already used to Liu Yanxiu's temper.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ziyu said seriously: "Officials, I was given a gift of wine last night, and I also figured it out. The fault of the minister is that after the Northern Expedition, I lost the prudence that I always expected the enemy to be lenient. I have suspicions, and I am afraid that Qu Da and others will continue to tell me that I am abolishing the public for personal reasons, so I don’t meddle in the details of the military deployment as before. It almost leads to a crime that cannot be redeemed. This is something I can’t forgive myself, so this makes Xiang Even if the officials love me for my position, I would not dare to live there."

When he said this, Zhao Jiu was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "We have said that we can forget all the grudges with a smile, but you still think about Ma Kuang."

Yes, no matter what Liu Ziyu's motivation is, as long as he resigns on the grounds of dereliction of duty, Ma Kuo's responsibility will be much smaller. The leaders of the rebel army all know the moral character of the rebel army. As the chief officer of Kansai, you, Liu Ziyu, have always It is true that Zhibing took the main responsibility for failing to manage the troops well.

"Secondly, although I don't know who instigated the trouble for the time being, once I leave, I will definitely teach these thieves to relax their vigilance, which can be regarded as my fault. Furthermore, if Your Majesty feels that I am still useful in the future, I will not be able to do anything this year. At forty, you can still serve your country and serve your country well."

Having said this, it seems that they can no longer agree. Zhao Guanjia then sighed: "That's all, let's do this. This year, there are still very different opinions among the people in Fujian Province on the distribution of taxes. Li Gang and Huan Guo both went back to do it door to door. You were too busy to take care of your work before. After this memorial ceremony, you have to give some accommodation to these villagers."

This incident occurred in the eighth year of Jianyan's reign. The Zhao Guan family's stalls moved in. The new policy reforms on Fujian Road created a big problem: huge regional conflicts arose between local governments due to land inspection and land separation issues.There are often fierce disputes between cities and villages, between cities and cities, and between villages and villages over the distribution of tax amounts ranging from hundreds of guans, dozens of guan, or even several guans and several pence.It's okay at the top, and the balance is transferred to the grassroots level, especially when it reaches the village and commune level, but it will lead to large-scale armed fights that suddenly get out of control.Although there have been no such fierce local fights in the past two years, feuds have been forged between neighboring villages and towns, and more attention must be paid.This is the duty of a scholar-bureaucrat, and Liu Ziyu naturally agreed.

On the second day of the first lunar month, Liu Ziyu, the envoy of Chang'an, asked Zhao Guan's family for a three-month leave to return to his hometown on the grounds that his father had been bereaved for ten years.So their family traveled far away with Chuqi. Halfway, when Liu Kai's former subordinates Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Cheng Min heard the news, they all sent their nephews or cronies to follow the sacrifice. This is to express their feelings for the old master. In line with the basic morals of feudal society, regardless of political stance, the Liu Ziyu brothers received them very politely and thanked them.

When passing by Youxi in Nanjian Prefecture, his friend Zhu Song was seriously ill and was left alone. He had an adopted son, Zhu Xi, which was another matter.

It has been very cold this year. After Liu Ziyu went south, the weather did not get warmer. It has been getting colder every day for the past two days. The sky is low and dark, and there is a strong tendency for rain and snow to come again.Sure enough, at night, the snowflakes were dense and dense, and it snowed heavily all day and night.It turned the old palace into a world of ice and snow.Zhao Guanjia was flipping through a book of "Legends of the Tang Dynasty". When Yang Yizhong arrived, he only saw the red plum forest next to Qujiang Pool. The man who came up still looked lazy, with two stoves lit beside him. , feeling particularly at ease in my heart, "I reported to the officials that the gift for Princess Shouchun has been sent. I have personally inspected it and it will definitely be delivered before the princess's birthday."

"It's hard for you. God bless this child's mother and relatives have long since disappeared, and she is not as generous as Buddha Bless and has a little aunt. She is naturally sensitive, so I can only take care of her emotions. I am a careless person. I can only remind you more." Zhao Jiu sighed sincerely.

"These are all matters within the minister's duty." Yang Yizhong said.

"There is one more thing that I have been thinking about for a long time. Zhengfu, I should have listened to you more carefully that day, or at least I should not have lost my temper with you." Zhao Jiu put down the book and said sincerely.

Yang Yizhong was shocked. He knelt down and said, "The official's words are serious, and the thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the emperor. Your Majesty is like this, how can the ministers deal with themselves?"

"You can't live here anymore, and I'm really alone." Zhao Jiu helped him up casually and said: "You and I have known each other earlier than anyone else. If you say anything, I don't care who is right or wrong." If it hinders you from continuing on, of course, if you don’t tell me, I won’t blame you, because I was the one who asked you to become the Imperial City Secretary in the first place.”

Yang Yizhong looked at everything in front of him. The red plum blossoms in the garden were like steaming clouds under the warm sun shining through the clouds. They were so red that they seemed to be burning.There is still a little bit of white snow on the petals, which is crystal clear and complements each other. I don’t know whether it is the snow that sets off the plum blossoms, or the plum blossoms that support the snow.

In addition, there is a person who can stir up the world with a single word but is always cautious. He is sitting among the sparse plum trees, leaning and reading a book. It is really a "sparse shadows and slanting water, clear water and faint fragrance" Floating moon at dusk." The fairyland!

At this time, someone suddenly came to report: "The official, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Imperial City Division jointly signed the memorial, and it is urgent to eight hundred miles away."

It is conceivable that Tokyo Secret Pavilion must not have had a good year this year.Of course, those who are worse off than them must be those in secret cells.

Small theater extra-——
The afterlife of the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty
The assassination of Zhao Guan's family in Lishan caused an explosion in Xianggong Town of the Song Dynasty. Although he soon learned that Jun Shang was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.But what happened next seemed to have passed without a trace, at least in the circulating newspapers. Oh, the only news I got was the list of commendations.

After looking at it, Zongze said, "The Zhong family has been loyal and loyal for generations, but it's a pity that Lao Zhong (Zhong Shi Dao) and Xiao Zhong (Zhong Shi Zhong) are not here. Otherwise, I would be greatly comforted to see that our descendants are loyal and strive for success!" It was the friendship formed during the Jingkang years. Zongze really admired these two people.

It's a pity, in Xianggong Town, if Zhang Zuo is okay, otherwise, what he always says will be ignored, and he is the one who argues with everyone and everyone says wrong.

It is even more hated than the Lu family trio.

The reason is not because there are three thousand courtiers, but he is the only one favored by Zhao Guanjia, bah, he only cares about Zongze every day, and writes an eternal masterpiece when he is dying. Who in the court doesn't know that the "Xiangong across the river" is the official's favorite?

As Dr. Qu Yuan said, all the women were jealous of me and spread rumors that I was good at lewdness.

This sentiment reached its peak when officials paid tribute to Liuguang on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the 11th year of Jianyan.

You said that you are a bad old man who only ascended to the position of state and county when you are almost seventy. Although it is not easy to regain Tokyo, support the front line and find a Yue Fei, but look at your attitude towards the officials, from the beginning If you are completely distrustful and have to force others to swear before you die, let's see what the officials do after you die?

Are you ashamed or ashamed?
Of course Zongze was neither ashamed nor ashamed. Those actions of Zhao Jiu back then (even though he took the blame) did not deserve his respect. However, when no one was around, he would lament to Lu Yihao, "Yuan Zhi (characterized by Lu Yihao), I am It’s not too harsh, the official family was originally an idle prince, and he rose to the throne in a hurry. He was at a loss for a while, but he withstood it in the end.”

Ma Yingjie wanted to roll his eyes and say that you knew it too, but he had no choice but to team up with Zong Ze because of his bad temper, so he said, "Yes, you can tell them next time that it was the former officials who were so inappropriate that you That’s why we didn’t have confidence in our officials at the beginning. As for how unworthy they are, who among the people here wouldn’t shed tears of bitterness!”

Zhang Dun happened to pass by and couldn't help but say after hearing these words: "Zhe Miao was a good official, but he died too early."

With his voice, Zongze, Lu Haoyi and even Wang Boyan and Zhang Cui instantly united the front and said: "If the official family is the Zhe Temple, what kind of trouble will happen after Yuan Fu's Western Expedition."

Zhang Dun was speechless for a moment. Although he was deeply in love with Zhao Xu, he had to admit that he was not as decisive as this official who grew up in the palace.

The so-called Yuan Fu's Western Expedition refers to the first year of Yuan Fu, when Bian Sibojie and others led Hezhou (now part of Gansu), Minzhou (now part of Gansu), Xige City (now part of Qinghai) and more than [-] Tubo soldiers to submit to the Song Dynasty. , Miaochuan chiefs also asked for help.Zhang Dun ordered Wang Min to attack Tubo, and the Tubo leader Longfu surrendered.

Xixia was naturally dissatisfied and petitioned the Liao Dynasty to send troops. The Liao Dynasty recruited a large army to station on the Song and Liao border, made a large-scale move southward, and sent Xiao Dechong to Kaifeng to persuade peace, and proposed that the Song Dynasty return the territory it had captured Xixia.

This is the time to give full play to the characteristics of the Great Song Dynasty. Most of the people agreed to negotiate and return the land, and Zhezong also thought so.Only Zhang Duntoutie refused the Liao Dynasty's request.But in the end, the peace talks came to an end, and Xixia became a minister to Song Dynasty.

This is still the most courageous emperor in the former Song Dynasty.

That's why everyone is jealous of you, Zongze. You are such a good master, but you don't know how to cherish him.

　Today's tour is over, everyone has been waiting for a long time.

　　Liu Ziyu finally raised Zhu Xi. Let’s look at the future educational achievements of our Xianggong Liu.

　　Some readers suggested that Zhu Xi should be a companion to the prince. I thought for a while that I should follow his original path. As for Neo-Confucianism turning into Yuanxue, that is the general trend.

　　Zongze appears haha
