Dawn of the Empire

Chapter 10 Biography of the Eastern Palace Displacement (this chapter is free)

The rumors of the east palace shifting became more and more intense, because the imperial city secretary was in the hands of the third emperor's younger brother, Zhao Ke was sitting on pins and needles every day, for fear that he would be caught if he made a mistake.Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, Tong Guan and other important officials whom the father relied on all expressed their favor to Zhao Qi, and the vice ministers Zhao Zhifu and Li Bangyan only secretly expressed their support for the prince and were unwilling to publicly offend Cai Jing and the third prince.

Seeing the look of resentment in the prince's eyes, Qin Hui secretly sighed, and looked back at the area from the Dongjiaozi gate to the Bianhe wharf. The leaders of the 'rebellious' people who were captured by the Kaifeng government officials were guarded by the forbidden army. Among them, there were actually a few low-level officials in green robes who were stunned on the ground. Looking closer, they seemed to be Sitianjian, Taishi Bureau or something. The trick officer of the eight workshops.He murmured to himself that martial arts officers were regarded as mediocre in this dynasty, and their status was not as good as that of warriors. It was probably because Huang Jian had played to improve the grade and treatment of these martial arts officers. These people were grateful and came to see them off today. But he is ashamed of himself and cannot walk with the scholar-bureaucrats, but only mixes with the common people. This situation is about to be used by Cai Jing.

After the imperial army and government servants dispersed the people, they surrounded Huang Jian, Shao Wu and the disciples and students who were seeing them off. Under the orders of the officers, the surrounding cavalry galloped back and forth non-stop, and the imperial army's steel swords were unsheathed.After a while, an officer rode over just now, and without talking to the crowd, commanded the soldiers to get out of the way to the Bianhe Wharf.

Shao Wu snorted coldly, if this officer is ignorant of current affairs, he would go forward and talk, and even give his surname. Shao Wu's official residence is to supervise the censor, and the sword and pen are powerful. Even Cai Jing couldn't stop the future of a low-grade general.

The crowd walked slowly to the Bianhe wharf under the guard of foot and horse, and Huang Jian and his family and servants boarded the official ship.

Zhao Xingde and all the students watched Gu Fan Yuanying gradually disappear into the sky. "A man should be like this!" Chen Dong sighed, Zhao Xingde's thoughts moved slightly, and he nodded slowly.

Han Shizhong, commander of the 470th Commander of the Second Army of the Left Wing of the Iron Cavalry in front of the palace, reined in his horse and stood not far from the pier, watching the group of officials and imperial students bid farewell to Huang Zhoushan with a gloomy expression. He spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm into the grass under the river embankment, and shouted in a deep voice: "The whole team is back to the camp!" A commander of [-] and a cavalry just put their swords into their sheaths. In the camp on the left side of the army, the people who were messed up and arrested in this place were naturally left to the officials of Kaifeng government to take care of them.

After the officers and soldiers and the scholars seeing off had all dispersed, three Fanren wearing furs and tiger and leopard fur hats emerged from the grass under the Bian River embankment. Yueyue still had phlegm on his mouth, and he couldn't stop cursing, complaining: "If the elder brother didn't stop me, I, Wanyan Zonghan, would definitely not be such a shrinking turtle." Wanyan Zongbi in the middle laughed and said: "You reckless person, Are we here to fight?" He turned his head and asked the people on the other side: "Xi Yin, what do you think?"

Wanyan Xiyin said with an excited look on his face: "Han..." Seeing Wanyan Zongbi's face darken, he quickly swallowed the next few words, and said with his tongue, "...the pointer is correct, The Southern Dynasty was strong, the armor was strong and the sword was sharp, and the products were abundant. If our Jurchen tribe wants to become an independent country from the Khitan rule, we must form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty." He still couldn't finish it, and praised, "Just look at the wolf-like warrior just now, I heard the sound of horse hooves, but only 10 riders dispersed over [-] people, no wonder the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty were able to defeat Khitan." Suddenly, with a worried look on his face, he said worriedly: "If the Southern Dynasty despises our Jurchen country, it is too weak , unwilling to form an alliance with us, what should we do?"

His words hit Wanyan Zongbi's mind rightly, Wanyan Zongbi took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Whether it is OK or not, you will know after trying it. Even if you can't form an alliance, buy more food, gunpowder and Ironware is also good."

The three of them climbed up from under the Bianhe embankment with hands and feet, beat the dust and grass clippings a few times, and entered Bianliang through the east corner gate.

On the way back to Taixue’s house from Bianhe Wharf, it was raining heavily. The students of Taixue couldn’t bear to wait under the eaves for a long time, so they rushed away in the rain. Drenched in the rain, he couldn't help asking: "Brother Li, why don't you use an umbrella?" Li Rui turned around and asked, "Yuan Zhi, today we share troubles, can we share wealth and honor every day?" Zhao Xingde's heart felt hot, and he lit Nodding, Li Rui also nodded and said with a smile, "That's very good."

The students from Huazhangzhai had very strong legs, and they returned to the dormitory not long after. After changing their dry clothes, their bodies were still steaming. Are you interested in going?" Staring at Zhao Xingde with piercing eyes.He observed his classmates and juniors, surrounded by the imperial army, when the steel knife was drawn, most of the others tried to calm down, but couldn't hide their panic, only Zhao Xingde and Li Rui looked calm.At this time, the new party was in power, not only canceled the imperial examinations, but also destroyed the printing plates of the people, and prohibited scholars from "reciting" poems and fus, while the people in Qingliu used poems and fus to make friends in order to show their resistance. Chen Dongzao Knowing that this son is extremely talented, and recognizing his strength of character and courage today, he intends to support him and introduce him into the Qingliu of Bianliang.

At this time, the faction is fighting fiercely. As an official in the court, one is either pure or dirty, one is not a gentleman but one is a villain, one is not a party member but one is an enemy, and there is absolutely no possibility of two ends. But in fact, it has great potential. Zhao Xingde vaguely remembers that Cai Jingquan's allegiance to the government seems to be the last glory of the new party. After that, Wang Anshi's theory was completely overthrown, and the officials denounced it as a false one. World.

Zhao Xingde thought to himself that he was just a student in a small imperial school, and the party struggle between the old and new parties was too far away for him. Most of the important ministers of the new party were unattainable, and they were famous treacherous ministers in history, so he was a monk. It is very important to establish relationships with those who are 'fans' of the old party.After thinking clearly, he nodded and cupped his hands to Chen Dong: "Thank you, brother Shaoyang, for the introduction."

Chen Dong nodded in satisfaction, patted Zhao Xingde on the shoulder and turned to leave.

At dusk, Zhao Xingde changed into a blue Confucian robe, tied around his waist a piece of beautiful jade left by his father, which was the most valuable thing around him, and went to the meeting with Chen Dong.Chen Dong looked at his half-worn clothes, and said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi is advocating frugality." Zhao Xingde shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "It's just that I'm ashamed." When I was in school, I was poor in painting porridge, but I was still the prime minister and governed the country. As long as I study hard, my generation will always have a bright future."

Seeing that Zhao Xingde was only right, and seemed to disapprove of the preaching of peace and happiness, Chen Dong smiled, and changed the subject: "If you are really shy, Brother Yu has a few ways to subsidize the tuition fees, but I feel a little bit wronged by Yuan Zhi. Talented?" Zhao Xingde's eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "Really?" Chen Dong smiled and said, "Of course."

Zhao Xingde was overjoyed and immediately asked Chen Dong for advice.Since his parents passed away, most of the Zhao family's property has declined.Zhao Xingde originally planned that after winning the Juren, he would either directly take the Jinshi examination and become an official, or use his identity as a scholar to find an agent to start a business. With the knowledge from later generations, he would probably make a fortune at least five or five times, or even become a teacher You can also make a living, and marry a gentle and kind ancient beauty to live.Unexpectedly, the emperor's kindness is so great that the descendants of the Yuanyou Party members all go to Taixue to study. Although the food, clothing and housing are all managed by the officials, and there is still a little pocket money, the consumption level in Bianliang is too high. Xue's study career may last for several years, and the little money and silk left must be kept for emergencies. Although my father has a few old friends and uncles in Bianliang, it is not profitable to be a gentleman.Therefore, Zhao Xingde is definitely one of the few people who live the most frugal life in Huazhangzhai of Taixue, all of which are seen by Chen Dong.
