Chapter 188: Borrowing Grain
Longde Mansion is located in the west of Taihang, under the jurisdiction of Hedong Road, when the Jin soldiers entered the Kou, the capital of Longde Mansion was broken, but the Jin soldiers were not enough, and did not go east again, taking the entire territory of Longde Mansion, but the army went directly all the way to the south, so the eastern border of Longde Mansion is still intact, when the Jin soldiers walked, they did not care, the new governor of Longde Mansion Yan Shoudao came from the south of the Yangtze River, and when he came, he escorted a batch of grain and grass and military weapons, ready to deliver them to Zhao Shuxiang's army who marched to Taiyuan, but after Zhao Shuxiang returned to Luoyang, has been delaying, the army did not cross the river, there is no way, these things are stationed in the northeast of Longde Mansion Li City, here is not attacked by the Jin soldiers, the city is intact, the strict guard of the road and the commander of the army are all supervised Xu Xuan, also here, nominally to guard these materials, but in fact they are not willing to live in the city of Longde Mansion where even the government office has been burned to endure hardship.
On this day, Yan Shoudao was chatting with a few Qingke in the house, and a subordinate sent an official letter in, Yan Shoudao did not shy away from those Qingke, so he opened the official document, looked at it and couldn't help laughing: "A few people have passed it on, my Great Song Weiming is still here, and Hu Lu also knows which side is Zhengshuo." ”
Several Qing guests were curious to pass it in turn, and it turned out that this official document stated that the Western Xia Kingdom got a treasure in Helan Mountain, which is said to have been used in Helan Mountain for alchemy when Zhang Tianshi traveled west. The king of the Western Xia consciously did not wake up to enjoy such a treasure, so he ordered the ninth prince Li Shitong to escort the treasure, all the way to the east, by the Jin general Lou Room, has entered the northwest, for the safety of the treasure, Li Shitong can only come by detour, and now he has gone around to Longde Mansion, ready to go to Zezhou through Licheng to cross the river, go to Tokyo Bianliang, and let Yan Shoudao be well received.
All the Qing guests said: "This Xixia party was either attached to my Great Song Dynasty or attached to the Great Liao, and they have been wavering, and they can only survive in the cracks, but now that the Great Liao is dead, they can naturally only fall to my Great Song Dynasty." ”
Yan Shoudao nodded and said, "Yes, they have no way out now, it's a pity!" ”
A Qingke said: "What is the pity of my husband? ”
Yan Shoudao sighed and said: "The first emperor has sought the Tao all his life, and his favorite is these things, if the first emperor is still here, how happy he should be to know that Zhang Tianshi's alchemy furnace has entered Beijing." "Yan Shoudao used to be a Qing guest in Duanwangfu, when Zhao Ji did not ascend the throne, he has been accompanying Zhao Ji, although he has not been able to get Zhao Ji's favor like Gao Yu, Liang Shicheng and others, but he has also gone from a civilian to the current state governor, so he misses Zhao Ji very much in his heart, and from time to time he puts Zhao Ji on his lips.
Several Qingke also knew about Yan Shoudao's problem, so they persuaded each other one after another, and it took a while for Yan Shoudao to calm down.
Yan Shoudao tried to tears and said, "Let a few people laugh." ”
A Qingke hurriedly said: "My husband and ancestor are loyal to the king, how can it make people laugh." ”
Another also said: "My husband is our role model." ”
Yan Shoudao listened to them for a while before saying: "Okay, there is no need to say it, now there are a few more people to come to Xiangxiang, how do we receive the nine princes of Western Xia who are crossing?" ”
A group of Qing guests talked nonsense, discussed for half an afternoon, and then discussed a result, and then Yan Shoudao called Xu Xuan over, and told him, Xu Xuan was not interested in this matter, because the official document said that the nine princes of Xixia brought the guards over by themselves, and the security did not need to be responsible for the Great Song Dynasty, but every time they arrived in a city, they just asked them to send out a guide, then this reception did not have anything to do with him Xu Xuan, since there was no credit to take, then Xu Xuan naturally couldn't keep his spirits up, just hummed and agreed, Then he went back, and according to the arrangement of the strict observance of the road, he sent out his generals and quit the whole city.
The official document stated that the prince of Xixia came over three days later, and Yan Shoudao waited patiently, and three days later, sure enough, it was only early in the morning, and there was a team of men and horses, coming from the direction of the West Gate from afar, but the team of men and horses did not play any banners, but the soldiers did not stand on the blade, they would not wear armor, they looked more leisurely, and they did not look like Jin soldiers, let alone the Song army.
Yan Shoudao saw it on the city wall, and hurriedly said to Xu Xuan: "Xu Dujian, you quickly take a group of people out to greet you, and see if the ninth prince has arrived." ”
Xu Xuan sang a promise, and then took a group of men and horses out of the city, lined up a formation on the avenue, and then moved forward with a horizontal spear, shouting: "Where are the people and horses coming?" But do not come any further, or you will be served with a bow and arrows. ”
The people and horses on the opposite side stopped, and a heroic general flew in, and he shook a small seal and said: "A certain Hebei Economic Strategy Division subordinate to Zhao Tan has been ordered to be a guide for the nine princes of Western Xia, and the general can inspect my seal." As he spoke, he threw the small seal over.
Xu Xuan took it in his hand, and sure enough, it was Ti Zhi Xiao Yin, and it was Zhao Tan's name on it, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and then threw the Xiao Yin back, and then said: "How can you transfer your Ti Zhi on Hebei Road to be a guide?" ”
Zhao Tan said with a smile: "The young general was ordered to transfer to the west and go to Yan'an Mansion as the commander, Zhang Suo Zhang Dashuai knew that I was familiar with the road, so he didn't wait for me to take over, so he took me down." ”
Xu Xuan was even more relieved when he heard this, so he pointed behind Zhao Tan and said, "Has the Ninth Prince of Western Xia also arrived?" He didn't know if there was a ninth prince in this unbannered team.
Zhao Tan smiled and said: "Naturally, it has also arrived, there are bandits in this area, and there are golden people who fight grass valleys, so we don't have a banner, we are only afraid of encountering passivity, if the general does not believe it, I will ask the ninth prince to come out and meet with the general." After speaking, without waiting for Xu Xuan to stop him, he ran back, but after a while, the military array on the opposite side dispersed, and a little boy flashed out, a good boy, born with a pink carved jade peck, looked like a forged silver doll, wearing the royal robe of the Liao State, riding a nine-foot silver-maned horse, the horse shook its head and tail and sprinkled with joy, at first glance, it was the Liangji of the Western Regions, not to mention the Great Song Dynasty, even the Jin Kingdom could not find a few.
Xu Xuan knew that when the Western Xia was attached to the Great Liao, there were more than when he asked the Great Song Dynasty to surrender, that is, he invited him to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, and he also secretly communicated with the Liao State, and their emperor had to get the canonization of the Liao envoys to be effective. ”
The 'Nine Princes' nodded proudly, and said in a somewhat stiff Song Guo dialect: "I'm in a hurry to leave, I only stay for one night, and I ask the capital supervisor to let me go." ”
Xu Xuan had already sent someone in to report to Yan Shoudao, and the 'Nine Princes' were talking, and Yan Shoudao led all the gentry in the city to greet him, and when he got closer, Yan Shoudao bowed down and said: "In the Lower Longde Mansion, the prefect strictly guards the Dao, and is ordered to welcome the Nine Princes." ”
Although the 'Nine Princes' looked proud, they were also polite, so they arched their hands towards Yan Shoudao and said, "Governor Yan, I don't know if we can enter the city now?" ”
Yan Shoudao hurriedly replied, "Naturally." "At that moment, he accompanied the 'Nine Princes' and entered the city together.
Just after passing the city gate, the 'Nine Princes' came to Yan Shoudao and said: "I heard that most of the money and grain in this Longde Mansion, as well as the grain, grass and military resources brought by Yan Governor's Mansion to prepare for the Wei King Zhao Shu to march northward are all in this Li City, I don't know if it's true?" ”
Yan Shoudao heard that this was wrong, and secretly said in his heart: "What are you doing as a foreign prince asking about this?" But he still nodded out of politeness and said, "Yes, the city of Longde Mansion has been destroyed too badly by the Jin people, so I can only send everything here temporarily." ”
"Haha." The 'Ninth Prince' snorted, and then said, "Since that's the case, please ask Governor Yan to load all these things on me, and I'll take them away." ”
Yan Shoudao's face changed greatly, and he looked at the 'Nine Princes' and said with some horror: "You...... Who are you? ”
"In the two roads of Xiahebei through the slight envoy, the Great Song Dynasty Xin King Zhao Zhen subordinate Hu cavalry camp partial school, Yelu national treasure is also, on the order of King Xin. Let's adjust the grain and grass here to resist gold. ”
Yan Shoudao's face changed greatly, and he subconsciously wanted to leave, but as soon as Yelu Guobao reached out and held him down, he sneered: "What, doesn't Governor Yan plan to give it?" He did it here, and Zhao Tan's sword behind him also hit Xu Xuan's neck.
Following this time's main general Jian Bofan's loud order, the Khitan iron cavalry flew into the city, but in a moment, the entire Li City was controlled, and then Wen Zhongrong, who was hiding outside the city, escorted the convoy in, forcing Xu Xuan to lead the way and go to the warehouse to move grain, grass and things.
Yan Shoudao wanted to die, so he shouted: "This is the military funds prepared by the imperial court for the King of Wei, and the King of Xin is the envoy of the two roads in Hebei, if he doesn't go to Hebei to ask for food, how can he come to our east of the river!" ”
Jian Bofan grinned, took out a letter, slapped it on the table, and said, "This is a letter from King Wei, and he agrees to lend us the grain and grass here to King Xin first." When he spoke, he couldn't help but shake his heart secretly, and admired Zhu Wu more and more in his heart, but it was his minions who intercepted the news of the tribute of the ninth prince of Western Xia, and he came up with such an idea, and he gave the grain and grass of Licheng in his hands, and with this batch of grain and grass, it is no longer difficult to defend Jinjiling.
Yan Shoudao still didn't give up, and shouted: "The news of the ninth prince is also fake?" Did you strongmen make it up? ”
Jian Bofan shook his head and said: "First of all, we are the subordinates of King Xin, not strongmen, and the other nine princes are also true, but let our messenger pass the word, saying that you have bandits rampant in Taihang Mountain here and can't receive them, so we led them directly to Zezhou." ”
Yan Shoudao was so angry that he almost died directly, Jian Bofan didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he said to Kedonghou: "Don't you Khitan people love to fight grass valleys, go out, knock on the doors of all the big families in the city, and borrow some grain, grass, gold and silver from them, in case we use them to fight against gold, remember, don't kill people, and don't insult women." ”
Ke Donghou was arranged for this job before he came, he knew everything he should pay attention to, and he went away as soon as he agreed, Yan Shoudao looked at Jian Bofan and trembled, but he couldn't say a word.
Among the people who came, except for the Khitans who fought in the grass valley, they were bandits who were used to copying their homes, and these two gangs joined forces, like locusts crossing the border, and within one day, they combed Licheng from head to toe, except for a few large warehouses that were washed and cleaned, and all the officials who came to Licheng for refuge from all over Longde Mansion, and all the officials in Licheng were copied to only their underwear.
Jian Bofan has been sitting in the government office, and let people put up the banquet prepared by Yan Shoudao to welcome the nine princes, and eat and drink to their heart's content, but Yan Shoudao, Xu Xuan and others were all driven to squat on the wall, and at the end of the day, the water and rice did not enter.
When the night fell, Zhao Tan came in and said to Jian Bofan: "Brother Jian, haven't you finished drinking this wine yet?" It's time for us to go. ”
Jian Bofan got up and said, "My wine is fine, just go." At that moment, he took out a few letters, slapped them on the table, and said to Yan Shoudao: "This is the proof that we believe in the king to borrow grain, if you don't have this when you return the grain in the future, we don't recognize it, and this, this is what we wrote in the king, because the subordinate Hu Qi has just been put away, the Khitan wildness has not retreated, and he has done something out of the ordinary, don't blame it." With that, he took the people and left.
Yan Shoudao and Xu Xuan didn't dare to move, and they were still squatting in the hall, only until dawn the next day, they dared to get up, knowing that Jian Bofan and they were indeed gone, they couldn't help but scold, and then Yan Shoudao wrote two impeachment excerpts, one impeached Zhao Zhen for passing the road to get grain and robbing the people, and the other impeached Zhao Shuxiang, who privately lent the country's grain and grass, and then sent someone to Luoyang, Tokyo overnight.
After two days of credit, before sending it to Zhao Gou's imperial case in Tokyo, he first read Yan Shoudao's excerpts, and then read the letter left by Zhao Zhen, his face was as heavy as water, and he asked Kuang: "Take it and show it to Xiangguo." ”
Kuang Xun answered, then came down with a bunch of letters and handed them to Prime Minister Li Gang.
Li Gang looked at them one by one, and couldn't help frowning, and said secretly: "This letter king is too bold." ”
Then he said to Zhao Gou: "Back to Your Majesty, King Xin took the grain and grass from the treasury without permission, and the King of Wei borrowed it privately, both of which are big faults, but ...... They are now defending against the Jin people in Hebei and going south again, especially in the letter of King Xin, it is written that he recruited the righteous army of the seventy-two villages there in Taihang Mountain, and led to the killing of the great Jin Lu Guogong Wanyan Yanmu, and led the Jin soldiers to send 50,000 troops to attack his Jinji Ridge, which is short of grain and grass, so he can only do this, so he ...... It is better to reprimand them for misbehaving ....... ”
"It's a big deal!" Zhao Gou's voice was calm, without any ups and downs: "Brother Hazel wants to use military rations, and it is too late to return to me for a while, the grain and grass in Li City have returned to the imperial uncle, and he has already been informed, and the hazel brother borrowed from the imperial uncle, and it can also be established, this strict Shoudao himself can't defend the city, and he also relies on others, Qing Ke issued an edict, so he was removed from the post of strict Shoudao, and he was promoted to the palace to police other officials, and no such thing can happen again, and Brother Hazel and the imperial uncle there, in the name of me, issued an edict to comfort each other, please rest assured that they are facing the enemy, all food and grass affairs, Just leave it to me. ”
"The emperor is wise!" Li Gang snorted, but it was from the heart, he really didn't want to make any internal strife in the Great Song Dynasty at this time.
Zhao Gou said again: "These are all trivial matters, Lao Xiangguo should worry about the arrival of the ninth prince of Western Xia, my Great Song Dynasty is like this, and there are still people to pay tribute, it is not easy, don't wait slowly." ”
"The old minister will be careful."
Zhao Gou nodded, ordered to disperse, then turned around and walked towards the inner palace, out of the main hall, after no one left and right, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, Zhao Zhen, count you ruthless, I; Remember you! ”
