Chapter 56 To be an official is to be a turtle
"You just swaggered from Western Xia to my Qingjian City? How do you do it? My scouts have to go through nine deaths to succeed if they want to cut and set foot on the village. ”
"So I'm the general, your scout is not, tell you, the higher your status, the better it is to be a scout, if Your Majesty is willing to take a trip to Western Xia, you will definitely be able to see all over Western Xia."
"Don't talk nonsense, why did you become the left concubine of the prince's mansion in Western Xia? This is from the official position of the fourth grade, which belongs to the prince Qinggui, and is placed in the Great Song Dynasty, which is definitely an official position that breaks the head and fights for it. ”
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "I am a talent, the people of Xixia know it at a glance, so they appointed me as a senior official, if I want, now I am Yin, the head of Tuntian in Xia Erzhou, within five years, he will only reach out to ask Xixia for money and grain, and will not give them a grain of grain, well, Li Yuanhao's will is written very clearly." ”
"How?" I just want to know why.
"If Li Yuanhao doesn't go crazy and rape his daughter-in-law, Brother Ning Ling's wedding may be handled by me, don't ask, Lord Fuzun, there is a secret agent of the imperial court in the team, he will explain clearly, what we need to do now is how much money you have in your hands, the daily forage money for three thousand war horses is a large amount of expenses, and someone in Western Xia supplies it for free, and when I get to the Great Song Dynasty, I have to pay out of my own pocket, and I can't afford it."
He didn't want to ask about the legendary children's army, and when he heard Yun Zheng say this, he sighed and said: "You know, Huanzhou is barren and poor, and three thousand war horses is a huge number. ”
After speaking, he solemnly invited Yun Zheng to his mansion to rest, and at this moment he regarded Yun Zheng as a good man who could be on an equal footing with him, rather than a small general in Shu.
Yun Zheng, who was completely relieved, was also sleepy, and as soon as the tight string was relaxed, he just wanted to sleep, and he saw Yun Zheng's tiredness, and arranged for his subordinates to serve Yun Zheng to take a bath and rest, and he came to the stable and looked at the war horses full of pits and valleys with a long sigh, and finally got up and came to the study. Pick up the pen to report everything that happened here to Bianliang City, Tokyo, since Yun Zheng didn't want to be famous, he had to write two letters, one to the emperor's imperial review. A letter to all the ministers in the government hall.
The recital to the emperor explained the matter in great detail, and the things that happened when Yun Zheng entered Western Xia were clearly explained in every detail, and these things were all told by Wugou after careful consideration. Some of the taboos have all been fixed.
The twist and turn to the minister of the political hall used the Spring and Autumn penmanship to bring Yun Zheng's experience aside, and only said that Zhang Fangping's dispatch department in Shuzhong sent Yun Zheng into the Western Xia trade, and finally returned with a full load and obtained 3,000 good horses.
One focuses on things, the other focuses on harvest, and neither side can say that it is not a good thing.
Yun Zheng in his sleep was like a free-flying bird flying over Wanzhong Mountain overnight, he saw his own courtyard, and saw Yun Er who teased the house snake. I saw Lu Qingqing who was grooming by Xiaoxuan's window, I also saw the diligent bacon, and even saw the old-fashioned Su Xun, there were too many vendettas in Western Xia, and the cold wind in Qingtang was too violent. Only there is a harbor where the soul can truly dwell.
The world's achievements can't compare to the slight smile of his wife's family, and when he is tired, he just wants to return to Shuzhong and return to the small courtyard that belongs to him.
In the early morning, he was very reluctant to be awakened by the sound of the horn in the barracks, and got up in his clothes, and Qingjian City was filled with the smell of loess. Last night's east wind did not bring the breath of spring, but the loess in the sky.
At breakfast, he listened to Wugou talk about the matter of the shang, and he sighed and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not a good thing." ”
Wugou put down the porridge bowl and asked strangely: "Isn't it a good thing to be famous in the world?" ”
Yun Zheng smiled bitterly again and said: "The Great Song Dynasty pays attention to the gentleman's gentleness and moistness like jade, the light is not exposed, and the temperament is introverted, so it is a material that can be made. I am so sharp and striving to be the first in everything, I am afraid that I will be the object of the political affairs hall of the ministers, only by polishing my edges and corners, will I really enter the political system of the Great Song Dynasty. Those who are famous in the Great Song Dynasty will not end well, maybe there is only one exception, I just wish I would not see this person in this life. ”
Chong Yu interjected: "Shouldn't a young hero like you be reused? The truth that everyone in the Western Xia knows, the ministers of the political hall are not stupid, can they not have the name of seeing things? You're thinking too much. ”
Yun Zheng smiled and shook his head and just lowered his head to eat, now he is only thinking about returning to Shuzhong as soon as possible, and the rest of the things will be talked about when the matter comes to an end, after all, soldiers are needed to cover the water.
Many people know these three sentences, but they don't know that young people still need to quit in their names. If you don't care about your career, you can naturally fill in the words like Liu Sanchang, and win the name of Qinglou Bo Xing, Yun Zheng is going to be famous in Donghuamen, so you must be as steady as Wang Ba, slowly and leisurely meritorious service, slow and leisurely to become an official, slowly and leisurely accumulation of knowledge, slowly and leisurely step by step promotion, in Yun Zheng's own opinion, as long as you are on par with Wang Ba, you can have a worry-free career.
As long as you add the speed of a cheetah to Wang Ba's pace, this is definitely an unruly means, Yun Zheng doesn't want to be an outlier in the officialdom, let alone do things like that, whether he can safely become an official.
The black yarn of the Great Song Dynasty is very similar to the head of a turtle, and the hat of the civil official has two long wings, which is to prevent the civil officials from turning heads and ears on the Jinluan Palace, while the black yarn of the military attache is purely a huge turtle head.
This is also the reason why military attachés always want to climb into the ranks of civilian officials.
"Does Fu Zun know if there is a big competition this year?" Yun Zheng asked after eating.
Chong Yan shook his head and said: "It seems that no, the official family thinks that there are many officials in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not appropriate for Dabi to be too diligent." You are now a seventh-rank military attaché, and you are in the position of the general at a young age, what are you not satisfied with, could it be that you plan to lock the hall to participate in the big competition? ”
Yun Zheng sighed, there are a lot of ramming officials, in fact, they are all made by the tanuki for the prince, and to this day, the emperor still resents the scholar for not helping him to speak, and he can't set up his mother and concubine, so there will be eight years of tragic events, so that people like Su Xun can only spend eight years in vain.
Many people are ten years of cold windows, the iron inkstone is worn out, just looking forward to the title of the gold list, the carp jumps over the dragon gate, eight years is not much compared, and the punishment of the reader is very cruel.
"The military attache is not bad, look at Di Qing, now that he has entered the Privy Council, he is also a high-ranking official and dignitary of my dynasty, and those generals are not as rich and glorious as they are." He admonished Yun Zheng again, hoping that he wouldn't think too much, he very much hoped that Yun Zheng could become a real military attache and fight with him on the frontier.
"It's not impossible to be a military attaché, as long as I can fight, I don't shy away from being a military attaché, anyway, I am still a civil official, and most of my relatives, friends and uncles are civil officials, so I was born a civil official, even if I am in a military position, I am also a civil official. You also know that I was shoehorned into the army by Zhang Fuzun. ”
Yun Zheng's words are very unreasonable, now that he has meritorious deeds in hand, he is bent on drilling into the civil official ranks, which is a great honor for civil officials, a literati has done something that a martial artist would not dare to dream of, of course, this kind of glory will be pulled to the civilian ranks.
What others value is how much money Yun Zheng made this time, and how much merit he has made, only Yun Zheng attaches more importance to the difference between civil and military, if he is considered a complete martial artist by the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty, he will be unlucky, and if you become a general in civil and official politics, people have a thousand ways to get stuck in your neck.
After listening to Yun Zheng's analysis of the difference between civil and military affairs in the Great Song Dynasty, he was speechless in surprise, if ordinary young people have made such a world-famous achievement, they will naturally become arrogant and complacent, but Yun Zheng is already seeking a future path, and said with emotion: "You are a natural official, and you will definitely be able to sit in the official position to the extreme in the future."
You're right, Di Qing is now in a dilemma in Beijing, three shocks a day, a criminal prisoner with a golden seal on his face is high above the temple, it is indeed a kind of torment, it is better to stay in the border and live freely. ”
Yun Zheng gritted his teeth and smiled: "You must not have the same trouble as him to be this privy deputy envoy, your ancestors are great Confucians, and civil officials will automatically include you in the civil service team." ”
Hearing this, Chong Yan laughed out loud, and became a little closer to Yun Zheng.
After finishing the gossip, Chong Zheng naturally wanted to lead the topic to the war horse, and before Chong Yan started the conversation, Yun Zheng smiled and said: "You don't have money, but you still want war horses, think about it, what else is there in Huanzhou that I want." It's okay to exchange things! ”
He spread his hands embarrassedly and said: "The people of Huanzhou are poor and poor, what can they exchange with war horses." ”
Wugou looked at Yun Zheng, looked at the kind of, just succumbed to it, the sly smile on Yun Zheng's face appeared again, which showed that there was something he valued here, but he didn't know what it was, he was too familiar with Yun Zheng, he knew too much.
"Actually, it's not difficult, the best one thousand of these war horses are to be used as breeding horses, no one can take them, the remaining two thousand war horses, you can get five hundred in Huanzhou, it's good, so let's do it, you pay as much as possible, and you can give me a piece of land as compensation for the rest, I don't want your fertile land and pasture, all you want is wasteland, can it be successful? You are the prefect of Huanzhou, and you must have this right. The place is not big, and a radius of five miles is enough. ”
Surprised, he stood up and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?" "He is not a fool, he knows better that Yun Zheng is not a fool, five hundred war horses in exchange for a five-mile radius of land, or a wasteland, if something goes wrong, he is a demon, there must be a ghost in it.
Yun Zheng smiled and pulled off a piece of coal mixed with loess from the wall of the planter's house and said with a smile: "I want this thing!" ”
