If you want to control the government, it is not enough to defeat the Song family, the Song family is gone, there are still the Fan family, the Koji family, the Zhang family, even if the Fan family is gone, there is also Chen Sun, and the second-level Gaomen clan, the most critical thing, what Xin Er urgently needs at present, is a "name".

sent Jiang Zuo in order to find a "name" for Xin Er.

In other words, just like Yang Fu, Yang Chao, Huang Rong, Zhang Gui, Tang Ai, etc., now have Xin Er as a backer, so if you want to compete with the valve clan and Gaomen clan in the Dingxi Dynasty, and even overwhelm them, Xin Er also needs a backer.

In the past, Linghu Feng could be this backer.

Now, Ling Hule is too young, and Zuo is a woman with almost no foreign power, and they still have to rely on Xin Er to a large extent, so it is obvious that they cannot become Xin Er's backers in turn.

So, Yang Chao suggested Xin Er: You might as well choose a soldier to send Jiang Zuo.

The reasons for the envoy on the surface are: first, he has not communicated with the imperial court for many years, and he can't even figure out what the era name used by the imperial court is now, which is not the way of a minister; Secondly, Ling Hule has just inherited the throne, which is a major event, and it must also be informed to the imperial court.

In fact, the purpose of the envoy was to be able to give Xin Er a sufficient name from the imperial court.

In what name?

Sheep fashion also has suggestions.

He believes that the military and political chiefs on the side of Longzhou, whether it is the governor's mansion or the pastor of Longzhou, have already been led by the king of Dingxi, and Xin Er cannot take power from Linghule, because the best name should be the official position of the central court.

Which official position?

The sheep fashion is also selected, that is, "in the service".

The position of "Shizhong", which belongs to the province of Menxia, is the chief official of the province of Menxia, with a rank ratio of 2,000 stones, and ranks third among the nine grades. In the previous Qin period, the power of the servant was not very heavy, mainly from the left and right of the Son of Heaven, since the beginning of the dynasty, to the current dynasty, the power of the servant is getting heavier and heavier, the so-called "outside the minister, the general and the president's office, inside the servant, Shangshu comprehensive management of all opportunities", has the characteristics of the prime minister.

According to the regulations, there are four members in the waiter. These four waiters are genuine waiters, except for Xiu Mu, they have to work in the province every day. In addition, the waiter can also be used as a "plus official". If you add an official, there is no quota, and you can add this official title to as many people as you want. Of course, the premise is that the qualifications of the person who is added to the "servant" and the current official position are sufficient.

Because Xin Er is far away in Longzhou, it is impossible to serve in the middle of the brand, but as long as you can get a "plus official" in the service, it is enough.

However, this is estimated to be very difficult.

The prestige requirements of the official attendant are already very high, at least they must have had the experience of being a big county taishou.

According to the convention, those who are added to the official service are generally higher than the service or the same level as the service center, such as the three dukes, the Shang Shu Ling, the servant shooting, the Zhongshu Supervisor Order, etc. Among the current official positions of Xin Er, the highest auxiliary general is said to be a third grade, the same level as Shizhong, but the problem is that this general title was awarded to him by the Dingxi Imperial Court, and Jiang Zuo will not recognize it if it is not worshiped by the central court.

How can this dilemma be solved?

Yang Chao proposed two more methods.

or ask the court for another general's number; Either set their sights on Guanzhong, which is now occupied by Pu Qin, if the envoy expressed to the imperial court that Xin Er had a plan to attack Pu Qin with troops in Guanzhong, he might be able to ask for a military and political title related to Guanzhong from the imperial court.

Which of the two methods is adopted?

This requires waiting for the envoy to arrive in Jiangzuo and respond to the situation.

Therefore, even though the policy has been decided, the choice of the envoy is also very important.

Gao Chong's last envoy to Shuo Fang, not only did not disgrace his mission, but also through his temporary request to Zhao Yanli to choose a son to be sent to Dingxi, to be a proton, but also showed that he has the right to make decisions, after careful consideration, Xin Er agreed to choose him as the messenger.

Agree to agree, and you have to look at the meaning of Gao Chong.

After all, between Dingxi and Jiangzuo, there are Pu Qin, Ran Xing and others as barriers, and the road will be quite dangerous, if he is unwilling to go, this kind of thing cannot be forced.

Therefore, there is Zhang Gui on behalf of Xin Er, visiting Gao Chong and testing his meaning.

In the morning, Zhang Gui had a detailed conversation with Gao Chong, and told him that Xin Er and Yang Qian sent people to use their intentions, although Gao Chong was elegant and elegant, he had courage, and he expressed his attitude at that time and was willing to accept the order.

The messenger is there, and the envoy of the sheep fashion ghostwriter has also been written, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

Just wait for the next court meeting, Xin Er will write a letter to ask, and the contributed things can be tidied up, and then the court will select a few accompanying officials, and Gao Chong can go south and sneak to the court.

Xin Er said in his heart: "This goes to Jiangzuo, thousands of miles away, and the road is not quiet, in the past one or two decades, Dingxi sent three envoys, twice in vain, once the news is gone, I don't know whether it is to Jiangzuo, but can not turn back, or killed on the road." Gao Chong's trip is really a great risk. After the court and the central government passed the matter, I had to choose the outstanding sons of his clan, give one or two, and talk about it as a reward for him in advance, and also reassure his heart. On the day of his departure, I will have to see him off in person. ”

Thinking about this, I didn't realize that I had arrived in the hall.

Xin Er, Yang Chao, and Zhang Gui entered, sat down separately, and the three of them discussed the matter of the envoy in detail.

The matter of sending Jiang Zuo was raised by Yang Chao on the day Song Fang was imprisoned.

It is true that Huang Rong made a poisonous strategy to weaken the domestic power of the Song family; Yang Chao offered a righteous discussion to strengthen the power of the Central Committee.

Xin Er is steady and steady, and it is rising step by step.

Because of Song Fang's impatience and recklessness, the Song family will collapse for a long period of time.

Song Hong's resignation was quickly agreed by the court.

The order to imprison Song Hong's direct descendants was also issued.

Song Hong does not have many direct children.

His son, Song Jian, is one, and he has two younger brothers, all three of whom are officials in other counties. ——Earlier, Xin Er wanted to recommend Song Jian, who was assessed as "the first in the country", to be an official in the court, but Song Hong refused, and Song Jian is still serving as a taishou in Qilian County.

As soon as the order was given, the three men went home with their respective seals, and did not say much.

Only say Song Hong.

After the resignation letter was approved by the imperial court, Song Hong did not greet Song Xian, Song Pian, etc., and he did not notify the old friends and former officials in the court, and even sent away most of the slaves and maids in the family, only taking the old wife, more than ten concubines, dozens of slaves, and more than 100 carts loaded with luggage.

The river outside the city is trickling, the water and grass on the bank are abundant, and the wildflowers are gorgeous.

It was still early in the morning, and the morning breeze was slightly cool.

The first day sprinkled clear light, on the straight official road, there was no trace, looking ahead, under the red glow, the hills were faintly visible. Tall pines and cypresses, with lush foliage, are neatly arranged on both sides of the road, and the leaves are blown by the wind like a whistle.

Soon after leaving the city, Song Hong ordered someone to remove the canopy from the ox cart.

He was wrapped in a white curtain, dressed in a pale blue feather coat, holding a folding fan in his hand, reclining on a brocade couch, sometimes looking ahead, sometimes looking back, as if he was enjoying the scenery of early summer along the road serenely and soothingly.

A woman in her forties knelt opposite him, and it was his wife, Dou.

Dou didn't care about what to see, and she had been unhappy since she left the city.

Finally couldn't help it, Dou said to Song Hong: "If you resign, you will resign, and if you return to your hometown, you will return to your hometown, and if you don't inform your old officials, you can send it to you, so before leaving, say to your children and nephews at home." You don't even say anything about your nephews and nephews, what is this? Fleeing? ”

"Since you have returned home, you will return clean. Long-winded, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, what does it look like? Say a word to your nephews? How? I still think that our family's face is not enough to lose, do you want to let the scholars and doctors of the royal capital take a look at our family's jokes again? ”

"......, the will of the imperial court has been made, and Huang Nu ,...... Alas, Huang Nu is about to be punished, I know that you have a deep relationship with him, you must not bear to watch the punishment, you refuse to tell other children and nephews that you are going back to your hometown today, you always have to tell Huang Nu, right? This is a farewell, you always go to see him, right? Listen to his last words, and do you have any unfulfilled wishes? You don't even say Huang Nu! ”

Dou's eyes welled up with tears.

Song Hong was silent for a moment, and his eyes were not moist.

No matter how much he has been dissatisfied with Song Fang in the recent period, in the end, Song Fang is his subordinate, it can be said that he grew up watching Song Fang, and the relationship between the two was indeed as Dou said, and it used to be very deep.

When Song Fangcai was born, his skin was very yellow, so he was nicknamed Huang Nu. From a babbling toddler, he gradually grew into a teenager riding a bamboo horse, and then became a young man who likes to make friends with light chivalrous and swordsmen, and is full of pride. After entering the office with the township discussion of the top grade, Song Fang showed his prominence and became famous for his resoluteness, and within a few years, his name spread all over Longzhou. Once upon a time, Song Hong regarded Song Fang as the successor of the Song family.

"But how did it end like this?" Song Hong muttered.

Song Fang's father died early, and when he was a child, he was not less cared for by the Dou family. Dou's feelings for him are also very deep.

Dou Shi choked up and said, "My yellow slave, my yellow slave! I still remember when you were a child, you were afraid that the elders in the family would scold you, so you secretly ran into my house, hid in the cabinet, and hid for half a day! O my yellow slave! Do you remember? You were married that year, and you and your bride worshiped before my bed, and I was so happy at that time! My yellow slave, my yellow slave, I will never see you again. The words turned resentful and said, "It's all that Xin Agua who harmed you!" Don't worry, our family will avenge you sooner or later! so that you will be blinded to death! He sobbed again and said, "It's also your useless father, I can't save you!" ”

Song Hong said angrily: "What is Xin Agua? What revenge? Who do you listen to! Hugh is babbling! Are you also looking forward to the destruction of our family? ”

Song Hong never said political affairs to the Dou family, the Dou family heard from others, and the reason why Song Fang was imprisoned was because of Xin Er.

Dou said: "A lowly villain in an overseas Chinese apartment, I don't know what you are afraid of him!" What he did, we can't even say it? ”

If Xin Er has no soldiers in his hands, and there is no alliance with Koji Shuo and Cao Shuang outside, even if the Zuo clan and Ling Hule trust him again, Song Hong is not afraid. But he has soldiers under his account and powerful allies, how can Song Hong not give in to him again and again?

Only in this language, Song Hong didn't want to, and he didn't bother to say it to Dou.

"Don't say any more, listen to me sing a poem to you!" Song Hong opened the folding fan, shook it gently, and said in a manly voice, "Luan Bird Phoenix, the sun is far away; Swallow finch black magpie, nest altar; Lu Shen Xinyi, the dead forest is thin; Fishy and royal, fragrant must not be thin! ”

These are the four sentences in Qu Yuan's "Nine Chapters". Lushen and Xinyi are the names of two kinds of herbs, and Song Hong refers to Song Fang with this. Luan bird phoenix, swallow bird black magpie, it goes without saying, one is himself, the other is Xin Er.

Dou Shi also read Qu Fu, wiped his tears, corrected Song Hong, and said: "You are wrong, it is Chaotangtang, not Chaotantang." ”

Song Hong's leisurely demeanor was pretended, but his mood was actually restless, which led to a wrong sentence, Xiao Jue was ashamed, stopped the shaking of the folding fan, and responded: "Yes, yes." ”

Hearing Dou's crying voice and thinking of Song Fang in prison, Song Hong had mixed emotions, both anger and pity.

He subconsciously turned his head again, looked back at the distant majestic royal city, and said in his heart: "Cheng and this dynasty, where more than 100 years old, clear and turbid, noble and low, although occasionally Han Shi is in power, all because of no background and all are defeated." Those who have contributed to the present day are all celebrities of the valve clan.

"Xin You's book is nothing more than a temporary luck, Lao Ziyun 'is the saint after his body first, and the outside of his body', why don't I let it go a little? Huang Nu, I have repeatedly mentioned it, but he doesn't listen, and he is also bringing disaster upon himself, I can't save him, but when it seems that the day comes, it will still be the authority of my family! ”

In order to prevent long nights and dreams, Song Fang's execution did not wait for autumn, and on the third day after Song Hong left Guyin, Song Fang was escorted to the execution ground.

Duan Chengsun was executed with him.

Song Fang's identity is different, and he is afraid that the children of the Song family in the capital and some friends of the Song family may make trouble on the execution ground, and the entire execution ground is blocked, and no idle people are allowed to enter.

Xin Er did not go to watch the execution.

Only after the execution, Xin Er listened to the report of the beggar who was beheading at the scene and said: "Duan Chengsun is really a coward, his legs are weak, he can't walk, and he was carried to the torture platform." Song Fang, this little thing, is bad enough, but his temperament is quite tough. I asked him if he had anything else to say, but he ignored me, just looked up and said, 'The sky is high and the clouds are light, what can I say!' And he was put to death. ”

As early as when Inosawa was on the side, Shin Er had a nightmare.

That night, Xin Er didn't have nightmares, but at the fourth watch, he suddenly woke up, and the moonlight outside the window was like water.

He got up and paced to the window, and watched the night for a long time.

The next day, Xin Er wrote a letter to dismiss Ji Wei's younger brother Ji Chu from the governor's mansion as an official.
