Chapter 308: Shang Fang's Sword
When Yang Xianmao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that he would say it casually, but the emperor followed the request, and hurriedly said: "Weichen, obey the emperor's dispatch." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"This is not a send, I just want you to take advantage of the opportunity to travel all over the world to seek medical treatment, and to inspect the local officials on my behalf, to see if they are competent, whether there is any behavior of oppressing the people, corrupt officials on the side of the fish, if so, you will write directly to report to me. If the evidence is conclusive, the officials below the seventh rank will allow you to cut it first and then play. ā
After saying that, he beckoned, and Gonggong Huang, who was standing next to him, came over with a smile, took out a scroll of holy decrees, and handed it to Yang Xianmao with both hands.
Yang Xianmao took it, unfolded it, and saw that it was written that the emperor sent himself to tour the world and supervise officials from all over the world. If there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the quasi-seventh grade or less will be cut first and then played. Other officials must cooperate, and those who resist the decree will be beheaded.
After Yang Xianmao read it, he didn't feel a little panicked, and hurriedly rolled up the scroll, holding it and saying, "Your Majesty, this responsibility is too heavy, Weichen can't afford it, you better find someone else." ā
During the Song Dynasty, officials were unwilling to accept the emperor's will, and they could resist and disobey it. Wang Anshi was a famous minister who was famous for resisting the decree, and the emperor was helpless against him. Therefore, Song Taizong was not too surprised by Yang Xianmao's refusal, but frowned, and said: "Yang Aiqing, I just let you take a look by the way, not to let you specifically supervise the hundred officials, that is to supervise the imperial history, don't you want to patrol the world to go through the Dead Sea, from your point of view, see if these local officials have any fish and common people as a victim, if so, help me deal with it." If you are not willing to use violence, you can also report the situation to me and I will punish you. Therefore, if it will not add to your additional burden, why should you refrain from receiving the order? ā
Yang Xianmao said: "I don't know the law, and I don't know if their behavior violates the king's law, if it is up to me to judge, if I have wronged a good person, then my sin will be greater? ā
Song Taizong said: "You take this task too seriously, I don't ask you to supervise whether they abide by the royal law, I want you to use your perception to judge whether they are corrupt officials or not, that is, to look at their affairs from the perspective of ordinary people rather than criminal law officials, as long as you think they are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, you can kill officials below the seventh grade." Officials above the sixth grade, you write a secret report to report to me, and I will punish them. It's all right, right?"
Yang Xianmao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If this is the case, then it can still be completed, then Weichen will receive the decree of thanksgiving and thank the emperor for his trust in Weichen." Weichen must live up to the emperor's trust. ā
Hearing that Yang Xianmao had agreed to receive the decree, Gonggong Huang hurriedly delivered the paper decree to him.
Then, Huang Gonggong turned around and took a dazzling sword made of gold and studded with diamonds from the table. Holding it in both hands and sending it to Yang Xianmao.
Yang Xianmao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, looking at Song Taizong.
Song Taizong smiled and said: "This is the sword I gave you, seeing this sword, it is like seeing me, which official dares not to obey the order, you can punish him with this sword." ā
Yang Xianmao was surprised and delighted, and took the sword, could this be the legendary Shang Fang sword?
The Shang Fang sword represents imperial power, a practice that appeared as early as the Han Dynasty, but it was the Ming Dynasty that played it to the extreme. During the Song Dynasty, there are also records that the emperor gave the sword of Shang Fang to the minister to deal with matters for the emperor.
When Yang Xianmao heard the emperor say this, he immediately felt his blood boiling, bowed down and took over the jeweled sword, and did not dare to draw the sword out in front of the emperor. So, in spite of his curiosity, he held the sword respectfully, and took two steps back, without drawing it out to take a look.
Song Taizong said: "I have kept you in the capital for these days, on the one hand, because I am really too busy for a while, and on the other hand, I also want to investigate whether you are worthy of my attention and entrusted with important tasks. Last time I was in the Northern Han Dynasty, I asked you to take the treasures in the Northern Han Palace, which I gave you, but I didn't expect you to take away a bunch of medical books. I am very impressed, and it can be seen that your obsession with medicine is really very rare for a person like you who is not greedy for money, and it can be of great use. ā
Yang Xianmao laughed a few times a little embarrassedly, but secretly screamed luck in his stomach. At that time, I was fortunate to guess the emperor's true intentions, so I gave the emperor such a good impression.
Song Taizong continued: "These days, you have not participated in the entertainment banquet that any official invited you to attend, nor have you gotten too close to any official, but you have only devoted yourself to studying, and I am very happy, which shows that I am not mistaken. I asked you to take the opportunity of patrolling the world to inspect the officials in various places for me, and you must keep a certain distance from them, so that you can not be moved by emotion, not be captured by profit, and get a fair result. ā
When Yang Xianmao heard this, he couldn't help but sweat coldly on his forehead, fortunately, he was originally quiet and did not like to move, and was unwilling to make friends with other officials, and at the same time paid attention to self-discipline and self-discipline, not to get too close to officials, it seems that what he was worried about before was reasonable, he did not expect that these days, the emperor would leave him in the capital, but it was to examine his conduct and affairs, so as to decide whether to appoint him as the minister of the Qin Mission. Judging from the emperor's words just now, what he did during this period of time was deeply appreciated by the emperor, so he was entrusted with an important task.
Song Taizong said: "You go to various places to patrol the doctors, travel the world, where to go, I will not interfere, but I have a suggestion, you go to more places that I have just conquered in the Great Song Dynasty, the officials of these places, I have not had time to investigate in detail, although I have sent special inspectors of local officials, but their opinions are considered from the perspective of the imperial court, I want to hear you from the perspective of an imperial doctor to judge how these officials are, this is a main purpose of I sent you to supervise the hundred officials." ā
Yang Xianmao understood that Song Taizong was still not at ease with the original officials of the newly conquered territories, for fear that they would secretly have two intentions and prepare to rebel, and the officials would go down to inspect, after all, the other party was alert. It's not the same when you find out about it secretly, and you should be able to find out the real thing.
Yang Xianmao hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.
Song Taizong said: "You patrol the world this time, and supervise those corrupt officials and corrupt officials who have different aspirations, how much is risky, although your martial arts are good, the last time you escorted in the Liao army array, you were really brave, but you are always good with two fists and four hands, so you have to find a guard to follow you." But you secretly visited these officials for me, and there shouldn't be too many followers, so I only found two helpers to go with you, and I can also protect your safety. But I don't know what you think?"
When Yang Xianmao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for the emperor's favor, but I don't know which two?"
"One is the snake fairy girl you rescued from the Liao army array, you are her savior, she has good martial arts, and she can take care of you on the way. ā
Yang Xianmao hurriedly said: "But she is the emperor's guard." ā
"It doesn't matter, I am now in the palace, guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, and there are many strong people in the Gathering Immortal Pavilion, and there are many people lacking her. She is an eighth-level powerhouse, and I can rest assured that I will send her to protect you. ā
Yang Xianmao heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, indeed, this trip to the north he found that the great masters of the rivers and lakes are like clouds, although he has the true fire of yin and yang, but when he encounters a real master, he can only look at the wind and run away. If there is an eighth-level powerhouse guard, it is simply peace of mind.
When I thought of the snake fairy's charming appearance to the bones, I felt a little frightened, but when I thought about it, this snake fairy's mouth was so charming, and she didn't actually have any outrageous behavior, maybe her character was like this.
Song Taizong continued: "The second person who wants to go with you is my third daughter, Princess Biguo. I want you to take her on a journey around the world. ā
When Yang Xianmao heard this, his smile immediately froze, and he ran around the world with a princess, which was not a fun thing. The princess, the delicate flower of the court, wants to make a little mistake in the rivers and lakes, and she has to lose her head, this kind of errand can be pushed off, but how to push him didn't think about it for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, this micro-minister...... It's ......."
Song Taizong seemed to have guessed what Yang Xianmao wanted to say, and he also knew what he was worried about, so he waved his hand and said: "You don't need to say, I know that you are afraid of taking responsibility, but in fact, you don't need to take responsibility, her safety, I handed over to the snake fairy girl to be responsible, this is also a purpose for me to let the snake fairy girl go with you." So you don't need to take any responsibility for what happens to the princess, you can rest assured. ā
When Yang Xianmao heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if this biggest headache problem can be solved, then it might as well take her, and said with a dry smile: "Weichen is not afraid of taking responsibility, it is really ......"
Song Taizong waved his hand, signaling him not to interrupt his train of thought, and then continued: "My third daughter is very pitiful, when her mother was almost eight months pregnant with her, she was frightened by an accident, so she was born more than two months prematurely, and she was born before she was eight months. She has been very weak since she was a child, and she is frail and sick. The imperial doctors in the palace have all prescribed prescriptions for her to treat her illness, but none of them worked. Her body is still so delicate, I asked the heavenly master to tell her fortune, saying that she is lucky and will die. Then the news somehow reached her ears, and she cried alone in the house for three days. ā
Speaking of this past, Song Taizong's eyes flashed with his father's distress and helplessness, and he sighed for a while and said: "I don't believe it, there is another Heavenly Master, this Heavenly Master doesn't know what happened before, but the result is the same." The imperial physician of the Tai Hospital also said that her body was gradually weakening, and it was estimated that her life would not last long, and this congenital deficiency could not be treated with decoction. Two of them, and I knew that they were telling the truth. ā
