Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 230: Party
Liu Ling frowned when he heard the word Kong. However, this thing is now regarded as a gold-lettered sign. Gongyang Chunqiu, Zuo's Spring and Autumn, Gu Liang Chunqiu, after all, it is all about "Spring and Autumn", so he might as well invite someone named Kong to come and talk about it. .

The old man named Kong who was invited was said to be a great Confucian, but in fact he had served as a minor official in the Song Dynasty, and then retired and returned to his hometown. If Cai Jing hadn't given him enough this time, he might not have been willing to come.

But the old man was also very kind. After seeing Liu Ling, he bowed politely and called him "Chen".

"Give me a seat."

"My lord, thank you very much, Your Majesty."

Liu Ling pondered the words silently in his mind, and then asked: "I, Yanyun, have always been heroic and informal, even if I am a scholar or a civil servant, I am the same. But after all, we are already a dignified country, and there must be rules in everything.

After that, Daigu taught the students in Yunzhong and asked Dr. Kong to take more trouble. "

When Kong Wenhe heard the word "jiaohua", his bones softened. Seeing that the king of Han spoke politely, he did not dare to speak loudly, and his voice became more frightened.

"My lord, I will be a great king and do my best!"

Liu Ling smiled and asked casually: "I heard that there is a man named Kong Pingzhong in the Kong family. Do you think he is a branch of the Kong family?"

Hearing that Kong Pingzhong was dead, Liu Ling suddenly felt a little regretful, because Kong Pingzhong was involved in several disasters caused by the party, including the more famous "Yuanyou Party members". Although the Han army was strong now, Liu Ling didn't mind more Use some small tricks to make Song Dynasty mess up first.

In the Song Dynasty court, Cai Jing had been carried back. He expressed his gratitude to Liu Ling in private letters. But after all, he was old and confused in everything. Sometimes he couldn't even get his own son in the court. He could only do it in the past few years. When his body was still strong, he helped wave flags and cheers in the court, and influenced the decisions of the Song Dynasty court for Liu Ling.

There are many scholars in Yanyun who have suffered the impact of the country's subjugation themselves and their families. Many of them have even personally experienced being kidnapped by the Jin people and taken back to work as slaves, and then escaped by luck, but it is difficult to forget that period. An extremely humiliating experience.

"Yes, there is some relationship, but not close."

Many courtiers in Bianjing were naturally resistant to interacting with merchants at first, but they did not exclude merchants from Yanyun. The latter often spent a lot of money. Even if they couldn't buy the courtier's mouth, they would bribe the courtier's son and his back house, and slowly A network of influence has been established.

Now being invited to give lectures in Yunzhong, although it conflicts with what he has learned in his life, Kong Wenhe is also happy in his heart.

Suddenly hearing about such a huge windfall, Kong Wenhe was stunned for a while, then abandoned his seat and knelt on the ground, with tears of gratitude on his face.

As he gets older, he has a lot to worry about, and he doesn't expect to have much official career in Yunzhong. What he and Liu Ling have in mind coincide with each other.

Kong Wenhe, on the other hand, was the side chamberlain of the side house. He had very few connections in the imperial court. After being implicated once, he could no longer climb up the ranks. He had to study books and knowledge at home to amuse himself.

On the first day of lectures, Liu Ling sat aside and listened to the lectures in person. There were more than two hundred students in the classroom in front of him. Kong Wenhe knelt on the futon and recited Gongyang's Spring and Autumn Annals aloud.

Liu Ling waved his hand to Kong Wenhe to stand up and said calmly:

"Dr. Kong trusts me, and I can't let you down." Liu Ling thought for a while and said, "I know that the doctor is old, so I will give him another thousand acres of land and a hundred thousand yuan to settle down. After giving lectures, I can provide for my retirement.”

Kong Wenhe didn't know why the King of Han suddenly mentioned this person, and immediately replied: "It's just that we have several layers of relationships. He is probably my cousin. However, he died more than ten years ago and suffered several disasters from the party. I was also implicated at that time and had to retire and return to my hometown."

Liu Ling was thinking about something in his mind and slowly talked to Kong Wenhe. The latter then told Liu Ling that he had brought all his family members to Yunzhong.

What Kong Wenhe wants is nothing more than a posthumous name.

Until now, most of the old Liao scholars who took the initiative to return to Yanyun have already served in various government offices. With the establishment of two Taixue schools, many people have been transferred to Taixue as academic officers or doctors.

Kong Pingzhong was imprisoned by the party two or three times, but because his surname was Kong, he had connections in the court, and he had held a high-level official position. Therefore, he was promoted to a minor official after being dismissed, but in the end he only became a minor official and was not promoted to a higher position.

In other words, in Taixue, from the "principal" to the "dean" to the "teacher", these people have no good impressions of the surrounding countries. Everything they have now was given to them by the King of Han.

"You serve the big man, and the big man supports your family."

Therefore, the ideological trends in Taixue tended to be extremely aggressive from the beginning.

In the Song Dynasty clan, King Yun Zhao Kai had boarded Liu Ling's pirate ship a long time ago. At this time, it was impossible to get off. He could only take money while revealing confidential information to Liu Ling.

After a while, Kang Gongbi came to Liu Ling's side, knelt down beside him and whispered: "Zhao Gong's wife has been found and has arrived in Yunzhou City today."

Liu Ling's heart moved, he nodded slightly, then stood up and left Taixue without leaving a trace.

Zhao Heshou led 300 cavalrymen and died in front of Shanhaiguan that day. He had no heirs. He only occasionally talked about his wife who was captured by the Jin people during his lifetime. Liu Ling sent more people to the Jin Kingdom to search for it. He only found it today. Several times. It will be sent back after confirmation. Outside Yunzhou City, the waiting officials and defenders suddenly became agitated, and saw the Jin Kingdom Princess's motorcade from a distance.

Most of Liu Ling's concubines were occupied by princesses and concubines, so it was not easy to live together. The Han princess and several concubines lived in the Yanjing Palace, and the remaining Jin princesses and the Cao family lived in the mansion outside Yunzhou City. Emperor Ji of the Song Dynasty simply built a new palace to live in.

But unexpectedly, Princess Jin's motorcade did not enter the city immediately. Instead, it waited outside the city. The gatekeeper and the guard general did not know what the princess wanted to do, so they had to wait on the side.

Not long after, the city became more and more restless. The gatekeeper just scolded him and sent someone to inquire about the situation. Not long after, the man trotted over and said anxiously: "The king's carriage is out!"

Webster was sitting in the carriage and felt panicked when he heard the noise outside.

Her appearance was acceptable, but there were obvious traces of time on her face, and there were many scars and frostbite on her hands. After being kidnapped by the golden man, she did not live a good life, but after all, she was just a weak woman, and she could only If you can muddle along and survive, the rest won't matter.

"Ma'am, please get out of the car!"

When a shout came from outside, Webster was stunned for a moment, then he timidly lifted the car curtain and stepped out. As soon as he lifted the car curtain, a white and tender hand reached out from the outside. Webster thought it was a maid and held the hand. Get out of the carriage.

When Wei Shi just raised his head, he realized that the owner of the hand was wearing a gorgeous dress, with a gorgeous and dignified appearance. She was a good-looking woman, obviously not a maid.

The woman helped her get out of the car, and then said with a smile: "When my sister returns here from now on, she will go home. If you need anything, just tell your sister."

To be honest, the beautiful woman in front of her was obviously much younger than Webster, but her aura steadily dominated the latter's.

"you are?"

The woman smiled tenderly, helped Wei Shi forward, and said calmly: "I am the wife of the King of Han. The King calls Duke Zhao his brother, so you are naturally my sister."

Which lady is it?
Webster knew that there were many women in the harem of King Han.

She thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out. She only knew that Xiao Bu was walking next to Princess Jin Guo.

In the distance, Han Shizhong saw this scene from a distance and couldn't help but smacked his lips and whispered a few words to Qu Duan next to him. The two of them were originally from the Western Army of the Song Dynasty and had similar temperaments, so they gradually started to communicate with each other after returning to Yunzhong. .

Han Shizhong was ordered to guard Yanjing that day to resist Tong Guan. He had seen the Princess of Han and the Princess of Liao in different directions - one was sitting in the city and the other was leading the army. Now looking at the Princess of Jin, it seems that she is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Han Shizhong I understand in my heart, but I dare not say anything with my mouth.

Qu Duan had no need to be wary, and smiled to himself: "Your Highness does have a palace. What she is holding is not Mrs. Wei's hand, but the hearts of the garrison in the cloud and those above and below."

Han Shizhong smiled lightly.

Today, in addition to lecturing on Taixue, everyone in Yunzhou City also welcomes Zhao Heshou's widow into Yunzhou City with great fanfare. This is indeed a method used by the King of Han to win people's hearts, but the Princess of Jin forced her hand in, but it is definitely not for the purpose of winning. The hearts of soldiers and civilians.

That would be pure suicide.

This was to let the King of Han know that she had completely drawn a clear line with her mother country.

Tsk. It’s better to have those concubines at home, who are all well-behaved and obedient, don’t have any scheming, and don’t cause trouble.

Han Shizhong estimated that he would guard Yunzhong for a long time, so he initially planned to please the three great Song emperors and manage personal connections. But now, looking at it, this Princess of Jin seems to be a good candidate, at least she is not stupid.

It's a pity that she has no children now.

When Mrs. Wei came forward, Liu Ling was a little surprised to see Princess Jin next to her. Then Princess Jin smiled and took the initiative to walk to him.

Liu Ling's heart moved, and then he led the Princess of Jin and a group of civil servants and generals behind him to bow to Mrs. Wei, and under the gaze of countless eyes around him, he said loudly:
"Ling, I have met my sister-in-law."

Han Shizhong watched silently. Although he saw it better than anyone else, when he saw this scene, he still felt a surge of enthusiasm from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, the King of Han did not need to do this. He helped find Zhao Heshou's widow and gave him some salary, money and food every month, which was considered a very high treatment. Not to mention that now, he actually called Wei Shi "sister-in-law" in public and went out of the inner treasury in person in the future. Money and food support.

Qu Duan, who was beside him, was silent for a moment, and suddenly whispered: "Brother Han, I heard that you once begged the king to be king in public? Can we still do it in the future?"

Han Shizhong was stunned for a moment, then pushed Qu Duan and warned: "Sooner or later you will die because of your bad mouth."
