Chapter 164: The Clan (2)
There was the Song Dynasty, and the control of the clan should be said to be very successful, neither causing civil strife from time to time like the former Tang Dynasty, nor raising pigs like the Ming Dynasty in later generations, but very close to reality and flexible.
An imperial prince, even a prince or king at the top, is followed by a descended lord, and after a few generations, most of them become commoners. And the clan relatives do not restrict the imperial examination, and it has become the choice of most clan relatives to enter the official career with fame, including many extremely popular ministers, such as Zhao Ruyu of the Ning Dynasty.
Of course, most people don't have the good fortune to become ordinary people, and even then, they are not without privileges. For example, if the law is violated, it is not the government that asks for the crime, but is arrested by the Zongzheng Temple, and the conviction is much lighter.
For more than 300 years, most of the clan relatives are living a dull life, but there will be no less black sheep, but on the whole, the clan evaluation of the Song Dynasty is still relatively high, so in the mouths of the people and literati, it is not the image of arrogance and arrogance in the country of fish and meat.
And Rong Wang Zhao and Rui are one of them, speaking of his experience is a bit legendary, his brother is the emperor, his son is the emperor, his grandson is also the emperor, but he is not the emperor. And in the original history, he lived to be eighty years old, which can be regarded as the end of his life.
In the first year of Xianchun, his son Zhao Mengqi was succeeded to his brother and became the sixteenth emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. In the second year, he was crowned King Fu and built in Shaoxing Mansion, which was one step away from Jingshi, but he himself often lived in Rongwang's Mansion in Jingshi, so he was still customarily called "Rongwang".
Today, located on the side of Royal Street, opposite the Taiping Fang, King Rong's Mansion suddenly came to an uninvited guest. The reason why I say this is because everyone knows that King Rong never befriended courtiers, and today this is precisely the popular Wenchen.
If you want to talk about the weight, how can a mere "Longtu Pavilion Servant System and Privy Secrets Undertake the Decree" be placed in the eyes of the most noble prince of a country, Zhao and Rui were playing with this worship post in the study, but there was a strange look in their eyes.
"Invite him in."
"But see him here?" The prince replied respectfully, and then asked for verification.
"No, take it to the Xifu Flower Hall, where the old man will meet him."
Zhao and Rui waved their hands, only the conspiracy will be put in the dark room, he doesn't want to leave any handle, this kid came to see him early in the morning, what could it be? He was a little curious.
Legend has it that the Rongwang Mansion was built in the Shaoxing period, and since the Lizong Dynasty was given to his father, it has been repeatedly repaired, and it has become the most magnificent building in Beijing, and it is only one level lower than the imperial palace.
Therefore, Liu Yu, who has long seen the palace, walked in the meantime, and couldn't help but be amazed, this is completely a typical Jiangnan garden style, I don't know if it has been preserved in later generations, and there is no impression of it.
"Xiaguan Liu Yu has seen the king."
Except for the official family, the civil officials see that everyone is such a courtesy, but they just bend down, Liu Yu has already done it very skillfully, and there is no need to wait for any "courtesy flattening" after it is over, so he directly stood up straight and looked at the master.
I have to say that Zhao Yourui, who is nearly seventy years old, is very well maintained, and looks like he is in his fifties.
"Liu Ziqing, you kid, come on, sit down."
It is rumored that this person has always had a good reputation in Shilin, and sure enough, he didn't put any king's score at all, as soon as he stretched out his hand to beckon him to sit down, Liu Yu was naturally not hypocritical, and Shi Shiran sat down.
"I heard that your plan has been known to everyone, not only rich and noble families, but also ordinary good people, and there are also people who have pooled money to buy it. How did you say that your kid came up with it, don't be afraid, what you bought was a piece of waste paper, and the silver money spent in vain was rolled away? ”
"Naturally afraid, but the king, will you roll up the money and not admit it?" Liu Yu smiled slightly, and said something that made Shi Du, the governor of the palace who was accompanying him, embarrassed.
"Haha, that's a good point, as long as the old man admits the account, who dares to deny it?"
Zhao and Rui didn't think it was angry at all, they raised their heads and laughed, they all said that this kid was a little different, and it was true when he saw it today, since he started first, next, he wanted to hear what Liu Yu would say.
"Say, come to find the old man what is the matter."
"It's not a big deal, I heard a story recently, and I'm idle left and right, so I want to come to the king's mansion and talk to the king about it."
Changshi was a little surprised when he heard this, but when he looked at his expression, it didn't look like a joke, was he really telling a story?
"That must be interesting, the old man listened."
"At the beginning of the year, the army of the Tartars went south and invaded the south of our Yangtze River, and the state capitals along the Yangtze River, there were those who swore to resist to the death, and there were also those who surrendered when they heard the wind. Jiangzhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan West Road, was dedicated to the Tartars by Qian Zhensun, the former governor of the former Zhizhou, who betrayed the country to seek glory, and the pity of hundreds of thousands of Jiangzhou soldiers and civilians fell into the hands of the Tartars. ”
"In the middle of the year, the Tartar army was defeated, and when they retreated, the rout once again ransacked the state capitals along the way, including Jiangzhou, and the story that I want to tell happened there."
"On the side of the Xunyang River, it was originally a solid family, and the father and daughter depended on each other, relying on the remnants of their ancestors, but they could get by. It wasn't until the Tartars crossed the border, like locusts, swept away their belongings, but fortunately they hid in time to keep them safe. ”
"Who would have thought, 'People sit at home, disaster comes from heaven', the father and daughter escaped the Tartars, but failed to escape the government, Qian Zhensun, who has become the head of the Yuanren, actually threatened his father's order to force the woman to serve a nobleman"
Liu Yu said that it was naturally the incident that Li Shiyi and they encountered, and he hid his intentions, only saying that he was uneven and pulled out a knife to help, which could resonate more, and sure enough, under his rendering, everyone present listened to righteous indignation, and unconsciously sweated for the heroine in the story.
"If you don't do it, you don't stop it, since Li Dutou saved the woman, he naturally won't leave a scourge, and he raised his knife and fell, and the result was that nobleman, and at this time, the guards guarding the door were still in the dark, and they didn't know what happened in the house."
At the end of the story, the hero saves the beauty, escapes from Jiangzhou and returns to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and the rescued beauty wants to marry the hero, which is naturally a perfect happy ending.
"It's a good story, and it will definitely win everyone's applause when you put it in the tile, but the old man is puzzled, what does this have to do with your visit? Could it be that there is something else in it? ”
"The king is aware of everything, and the kid does have a good report."
Liu Yu stood up and arched his hand at him, Zhao Yourui looked at him for a while, waved his hand and sent out all the people who were waiting, leaving only the chief of the palace.
"Say it."
"The woman's surname is Zhao."
In just a few words, Zhao and Rui were stunned for a moment, and then they reacted, staring at his eyes, and their expressions became a little more violent.
"What's her father's name?"
"Secrecy and ritual."
Zhao and Rui thought about it in their hearts, and exchanged a look with Changshi, who nodded affirmatively, and in an instant, his face changed.
"Thieves dare!"
There are only a few scolding words from the ancients, and they seem to be very literate when they say it, and they have no lethality at all in Liu Yu's ears, who knows, this is already the most vulgar thing that Zhao and Rui can say.
"Bang!" Ground thud.
An official kiln cup on the table was smashed into pieces, it was Song porcelain, a violent thing, Liu Yu looked at the blood dripping from his heart.
After dropping a cup, it seemed that he had only slightly relieved his hatred, he sat down angrily, staring at Liu Yu with a hesitant face, the latter's gaze was calm and did not dodge.
"You came to find the old man, do you want Zongzheng Temple to accept this marriage?"
"King Mingjian."
"The old man doesn't hide it from you, there is no problem in a certain place, but Zongzheng Temple is not a hall of words, if someone raises objections, things will be protracted, I guess you don't want to see it."
As soon as the words changed, Zhao and Rui continued.
"This story, you might as well go to the palace and say that it is better to listen to it with the saint than the old man here."
It can be seen that he is sincerely making ideas, Liu Yu naturally can't help but accept this feeling, and he saluted the old man.
"The kid doesn't hide it from the king, Humble Jing has already entered the palace."
"In other words, you came to the mansion not just to tell a story?"
"Exactly, what the kid wants to know is, is the Nanwai Sect Zhengji under the control of the king?"
Liu Yu's question made Zhao and Rui puzzled, Nanwai Zongzheng Si is far away on Fujian Road, and he has nothing to do with him, what does this sentence mean?
"King Rongyu, the kid recently heard the rumors, there is a change in Quanzhou, I am afraid that it will threaten the safety of Nansi, and I also ask the king to make a decision quickly and let the people there evacuate quickly."
"You mean, the Pu family has anti-intentions?"
Zhao and Rui couldn't believe it, such a big thing, Liu Yu couldn't talk nonsense, if what he said was true, it would be through the sky, but Quanzhou was so far away, where did he get the news?
"It's not that there is a rebellion, the Pu family has already rebelled, not only the Pu family, but the left wing of the Imperial Camp Forbidden Army stationed in Quanzhou has occupied the whole city under the leadership of its capital Xia Jing, if they don't evacuate quickly, they will take Nansi in the next step, the king, it is advisable to decide quickly."
"How do you know?"
"Tomorrow at the latest, the military report from Qiongzhou will arrive in Beijing, and the king can distinguish the truth from the false.
Zhao and Rui didn't want to believe it from the bottom of their hearts, but seeing Liu Yu's appearance, he had to believe that it would become a fact as soon as the military report arrived tomorrow, so far away, how to notify and how to evacuate under the noses of the rebels? It was a huge problem, and for a while, Zhao and Rui felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand steadily. R1058
