Chapter 170: The Courier Brother
Chapter 170 Courier Brother
Great Song Dynasty, Bianjing.
Zhao Zhen sat upright on the chair and asked the privy envoy Di Qing, "Han Chen, Yang Kongmu is still making trouble?" ”
Yang Kongmu is Yang Yuanqing, his position is super small, and he is an official of Kongmu.
The reason why the emperor asked was because of Nong Zhigao.
Nong Zhigao has a good relationship with Nong Xia Cheng, the chief of the special mill village on the border of Dali country, and after the defeat of Quy Nhunpu, Nong Zhigao took his mother, brother, wife and son to settle in the special mill village.
He himself went to Dali Zhuzhai to borrow troops, and his mother Anon gathered more than 3,000 people from the rest of the army, practiced riding and practiced warfare, and tried to fight against the Song Dynasty again.
The military generals in the south of the Great Song Dynasty can't fight, and they don't need to be taught to play conspiracy.
First of all, the bold Panyu County Order, and now the new Yongzhou Governor Xiao Zhu caught one of Nong Zhigao's generals, gave him a grand treatment, and entered the inner room to recruit him, and found out the information about Nong Zhigao.
Then Yu Jing, who couldn't fight, sent the Confucian official Yang Yuanqing to separate the sixty tribesmen of Xishan who were attached to Nong Zhigao, and entangled several tribes to raid Temo Village, and captured Nong Zhigao's mother, younger brother, and son in one fell swoop.
Yang Yuanqing originally wanted to torture these people and kill them to relieve their hatred. However, the Guangxi Transshipment Division was afraid that it was the local ethnic minorities who were arrogant and pretended to receive rewards.
So Yu Jing had no choice but to abandon his old desires and send Yang Yuanqing to send Nong Zhigao's relatives to the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and after capturing Nong Zhigao, he would distinguish the authenticity of his mother and others.
After a few months of prison life, Nong Zhigao's younger brother, Nong Zhiguang, contracted a mad disease and beat the guards in an attempt to escape. Some people think, "It's useless to raise it, please kill it." ”
Zhao Zhen was angry: "Are you stupid or am I stupid?!" Yu Jing wants to save this to recruit Zhigao, and Qing and the others want to kill? After that, the ministers did not dare to mention it again.
And Yang Yuanqing, who hated Nong's family to the bone, Song Ting asked him to serve Nong's mother like "if he was a filial son's adoptive relative" because he knew minority languages.
was so angry that Yang Yuanqing "wept and begged for return" to his boss many times, but he was never allowed.
What Zhao Zhen said is this.
Di Qing replied: "Your Majesty, don't make trouble, the thief has been captured, and the day he arrives in Beijing is the time when the Hezu Ming canonical punishment is due." Now he is serving diligently. ”
Zhao Zhen smiled slightly: "Tell him that it is still the same, so as not to suspect Nong's mother of committing suicide." ”
Di Qing responded: "Yes." ”
Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief: "Hanchen, this time I finally have to compete for all the merits." ”
Di Qing bowed his head: "The ministers are terrified, and they always fail to live up to the holy grace." ”
Zhao Zhen said: "It's serious, Di Qing can't be arrogant, let you into this position, you have to take responsibility." ”
Di Qing nodded: "The minister obeys." ”
Zhao Zhen turned his head to an old man beside him and said: "Teacher, this Dali matter, there is actually my Da Song child involved in it, and he can break through the secret words in the nursery rhyme, this is a real prodigy, right?" ”
The old man is Zhao Shimin, Tianzhang Pavilion to be made and servant, when he was young, he was promoted as "Shengde Gentleman", and when he was old, he was called "Confucianism Old Virtue", and he was basically engaged in education work all his life. Because he was too old, he repeatedly asked for foreign appointments and retired from the center.
Now I finally got Zhao Zhen's permission, and this time I came to say goodbye to Zhao Zhen.
This old man himself is a prodigy, nine years old can poetry, and his memory is also amazingly perverted. When Zhao Zhen read the "Book of Han", he asked what Chang'an was like at that time, and all the lecturers said in unison, Your Majesty, you are right to ask Lao Zhao!
Sure enough, the old man quoted the scriptures, "Because Chen has been in the capital since ancient times, the old site is located, if you paint all the palms." "Babbled and gave Zhao Zhen a general examination of the ancient and modern changes in Chang'an City.
has been engaged in education all his life and has a lot of right to speak, so the old man naturally first admonished Zhao Zhen with the set of gentlemen and nights, and then said: "That nursery rhyme, to put it bluntly, is just an anagram, and that kind of thing, the old minister can make dozens of songs with his backhand, which is no wonder." ”
Zhao Zhen said: "Zhang Xiang mentioned in the table before this son that the Tao is young and divine, what is the elemental cycle, but I can't remember it all. Now that Xiangzhong is not returning to Chengdu, it is necessary to make up for it with the strength of his life. ”
Zhao Shimin replied: "The theory of gods and monsters is left alone. Your Majesty, the gentleman does his best, and the personnel also. Xinmang pays the most attention to the weft and the map, and the disaster does not accumulate for years, and is laughed at by those who know. Your Majesty should take this as a warning. ”
Just one sentence blocked the emperor back.
"As for the prodigy, the old man believes that if a good seedling is too promoted, it will not grow strong and will eventually be destroyed."
"It is natural that a seedling cannot become a pillar after 20 years of growth."
"The original intention of the Zhenzong Dynasty Boy Test was to seek Maocai. However, as soon as the atmosphere became successful, the scholar's family was too aggressive with the children, and as a result, countless good seedlings who should have become pillars were sluggish, and some of them lost their hearts. ”
"Your Majesty, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people. Since he is a Maocai, he will set foot in the field of science and technology ten or twenty years later, and then he will be promoted to the top of the court, and then he will be tried for the imperial court. In this way, we can suppress luck and worship truth, which is the real way of cultivation. ”
"The matter of the Meishan prodigy, the old minister thought that His Majesty should look at it this way: it is precisely because of Meishan Jiangqing's measures - the family has a school, the party has a school, the township is orderly, and the state has a school. Push the text and still uphold the righteousness. So the customs are generous, the body is loyal, and among the many young people who have to learn, there are naturally outstanding and outstanding people. ”
"Let more children in the Great Song Dynasty be able to study, and Your Majesty will be able to get more talents."
"Of course, many of them later became virtuous ministers of the state. Such as Yang Yi, Song Zhu, Yan Shu, etc. However, today, it is not compared to antiquity. ”
"During the Warring States period, one soldier could become a strong country, but now it is handsome and mediocre. Therefore, we should be good at guiding the atmosphere, cultivating a thick foundation, opening more and planting widely, so as to wait for the beauty in the forest. ”
"Your Majesty, Meishan Jiangqing's approach is a good strategy for all generations."
Zhao Zhen nodded: "What the teacher says is always reasonable. The thought of not being able to hear about it again in the future makes me ...... in my heart."
Zhao Shimin had tears in his eyes: "The old minister is also reluctant to His Majesty, but now the minister is old, mediocre and unbearable, so he should avoid the position, so that His Majesty can promote the ability of the person, this is also the way to advance talents." The righteousness of the monarch and the minister, the minister is in the county, and he will always be in his heart. ”
Zhao Zhen raised his hand, and the internal official stepped forward and handed over a silk scroll: "This is a poem I wrote for the teacher, so I ask the teacher to cherish the spirit and recuperate the body in Yaozhou." If I miss you and summon you to Beijing again, the teacher can't refuse. ”
Zhao Shimin was so moved: "The old minister thanked His Majesty Longen." ”
……
Su You and they finally set off again, accompanied by the envoy of Dali to the Great Song Dynasty - Gao Zhisheng handsome guy.
The choice of the envoy's road is also exquisite, and the confused officials on the East and West Roads of Guangnan couldn't believe it, so they suggested that Gao Zhisheng take the waterway, go down the river to Yibin County, Xuzhou, and stop, and then listen to the arrangement of the four-way envoy Zhang.
Bachelor Zhang was sent out by the central government, and he has a clearer grasp of the movements of the imperial court, and there are also various relationships in Beijing.
When you arrive in China, you put away the Dali Confucianism and Confucianism, Buddhism is used for scholars and doctors, showing off knowledge, going to temples to give alms, preaching, are all okay, now the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty, they like to do this, this is Yahao, but also the personal style of the senior brother, will leave a deep impression.
But once you interact with the ministers of the imperial court, keep in mind the orthodoxy of Confucianism, the words are quoted by Confucius and Mencius, and the actions are according to the Zhou rites, not to mention the legends and myths of Nong Zhigao, only to say that the rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished, although Dali is despised in a biased manner, there is also a heart of righteousness.
This is the pulse of the Great Song Dynasty monarchs.
Now Dali and the Great Song Dynasty are connected to the north and east, and the rebellion of Nong Zhigao in the east is at the beginning of the peace, and the officials in Guangnan are extremely jealous of outsiders. If you play a prisoner carjacking car, then Dali is yellow mud falling into the crotch of your pants, not but is.
In the north, there are two forest departments as intermediaries, everyone knows the roots, and there are many fewer taboos between each other when they take this road.
Ah yes, I remember passing by Meishan and handing over the things I purchased to my family......
Gao Zhisheng nodded again and again, completely unconscious of being used by Su You as a courier brother.
My brother treats me with sincerity, and I have to be clear and moist, like a fish in water......
Entering the Jinsha River, the two fleets parted, Gao Zhisheng took tributes and prisoners down the river to the east, while Erlinbu entered the Anning River against the current.
