Chapter 108: Pigs, Wolves, and Dogs
Since Wang Anshi participated in the Little Lotus class, his mother no longer worries about his language, and he successfully won the provincial yuan in the Ministry of Rites exam.
Although it is not an official fame, it is enough to make Wang Lingwei happy for several days.
The credit of the other party's Zhongyong's careful teaching of her younger brother was also repaid with great enthusiasm. Not only did Fang Zhongyong's resentment against her refuse to give her a son decreased a lot, but he also tried a variety of postures, and under Fang Zhongyong's deadly request, he slept together.
Among them, the taste is very beautiful!
In the blink of an eye, the Chinese New Year came, and Wang Lingwei also had good news - she was finally pregnant. After being diagnosed, Fang Zhongyong sent someone to the Wang family to report the good news, and even the Yan family did not let go.
Sample! Aren't you old and strong? If you remember, this is your last child! Compared with our young man, you are far from having children!
Of course, the old son born by others is more powerful, Yan a few ways! But our son is not bad, right? Did you pee a lot in bed last night?
That amount of water, arranged in molecules, can circle the earth!
Zhao Zhen in the palace did not have such happy troubles, because he had no sons, not even a daughter.
The so-called good news before was just a small trick in the palace fighting drama.
There are those who pretend to be pregnant, those who have miscarriages for unknown reasons, and there are even things that do not know whether they are alive or dead, and they have found someone to help.
The bad news came one after another, and Zhao Zhen's face became gloomy day by day. So much so that throughout the annual leave, the palace was shrouded in a haze.
finally survived until the court meeting, Zhao Zhen was busy dealing with the government affairs, and the people in the palace quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Zhen's palace is like a big sieve, full of holes. Despite Chen Lin's efforts, the little thing above the emperor's head was still circulated in various fragrant versions.
At the beginning of February, Zhang Kui, the palace attendant, as a full-time representative of finding fault, asked the emperor to personally worship Gao Yu.
The one who is high is also the god of marriage and reproduction. Sacrificing to Gao Yu is the main activity of the Shangsi Festival (the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar).
"Look, Zhang Kui, the servant of the imperial history, is much stronger than Tang Jie!" An old general standing beside Fang Zhongyong whispered.
"Dare to ask if Your Excellency is talking to me? Didn't ask Taifu? Fang Zhongyong said.
The veteran said with a smile: "Old man Cao Xi, I am the commander of the front division of the palace." Oh, vice! ”
Dare to love is Lord Guozhang's grievances for his daughter!
Fang Zhong never dared to take the stubble, so he had to say: "The lower officials think that it is not impossible to sacrifice Gao Yu. However, the official family's personal sacrifice is a bit of a fuss. ”
Cao Xi said: "Let's talk about it!"
Fang Zhongyong took out the old words again: "The official family is in good health, and the queen is also a blessed person." In time, why worry about the heirs? ”
Cao Xi thought so, especially the sentence "The queen is also a blessed person", it was obvious that she had scratched the itch, and she couldn't wait to marry Fang Zhongyong as a brother with a different surname immediately, burn yellow paper, and worship the son.
Zhao Zhen on the throne obviously didn't think so.
No matter how blessed the queen is, I don't like her well-behaved and well-behaved appearance. Between the beds, there is no fun at all.
Where is my petite and delicate Concubine Zhang interesting?
Zhao Zhen didn't realize that there was a problem with his preferences at all, and he was very enthusiastic about sacrificing to the gods, so he happily played it and handed it over to the Ministry of Rites to prepare related matters.
What is good at the top will be very bad at the bottom.
The new Tianzhang Pavilion attendant said that Jia Chang Chaojin said: "The Red Emperor, the Shennong clan is also, the main crop, medicine, and reproduction. Dare to invite the official family to worship the Red Emperor in the palace to bless the people! ”
Cao Xi spoke again: "This is a master!"
Fang Zhongyong echoed: "Yes! Oh, yes! not only satisfied the thoughts of the official family, but also wore a big high hat. This man has a bright future! ”
I secretly complained in my heart, I should still come!
This Jia Changchao can be said to be the most proficient official in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Jia Changchao, a native of Zhendingfu. In the first year of Tianxi (1017), Song Zhenzong had prayed for the southern suburbs of the valley, and Jia Chang Dynasty presented a eulogy in Daozuo, summoned the test, and gave the same Jinshi background, and served as the master of the Jin Tomb.
People's appearances are extraordinary, Yan Shu relies on the support of nobles, and people themselves come to recommend themselves.
One is active, the other is passive, and the judgment is made.
Of course, Jia Changchao still has real talent and learning. The great Confucian Sun Zheng thought that he had a "teacher's method" and was promoted to tell the story of the country's son.
In the first year of Jing You, he placed the Chongzheng Palace to tell stories to give Jia Chang Dynasty. For four years, Tianzhang Pavilion placed the waiter to speak, and he was also the first to be appointed.
You must know that these two official positions are set up by people, and there has been no such dispatch before.
If there is no change in the historical trajectory, Jia Changchao will soon be promoted to the position of governor of the government, and the Ministry of Industry will serve as the privy envoy.
It can be said that after the retirement of a group of old ministers, Jia Changchao was the biggest obstacle to Yan Shu's rise to the top.
Just when Zhao Zhen prayed to God and worship Buddha for his distant son, and when Fang Zhongyong, who claimed to be a prophet, was still worried about the promotion of Lao Taishan, Li Yuanhao of Western Xia began the final sprint of his great cause of becoming emperor.
The same language and the same species, it is for one country.
Li Yuanhao knew that without his own writing, the Tangut people would not be able to form a country of their own from spirit to body.
In the first month of the second year of Daqing in Western Xia (1037), Yuan Hao created the character Fan according to his own intentions. He then ordered Nori Hitoei to interpret these words into twelve volumes. The characters are square, and the font resembles the eight-point book of the Song Dynasty, but many of the strokes of these characters are repetitive. Yuan Hao ordered that these words be used to educate his own people, and at the same time to record history.
Since then, the Western Xia has officially had writing.
The difference in writing is only the first step, and there must be different etiquette and customs in order to truly distinguish it from the Song people.
In July, Yuan Hao ordered the re-enactment of the ritual music system, changing the nine bows to three bows and the five tones of the music to one tone in the ceremonies of auspicious and evil, guests, sectarians, and swallows. Later, Yuan Hao promulgated this order to the whole country, and those who did not obey it were exterminated.
All of a sudden, the appearance of the Tangut people was "completely new".
Wearing an alternative hairstyle with a bald middle and a circle of pigtails, writing words that he may not necessarily understand, practicing the ancient rites of simple nomads, and "killing Matt" in the entire Song Dynasty.
The difference is that the killers are just a little maverick on the outside, and they are not very destructive.
But Li Yuanhao's abandonment of civilization and his willingness to be barbaric is by no means to show his unique taste.
What can be the purpose of a person who gives up his humanity and becomes a wolf?
Wolves eat people!
When the news reached Bianliang, the high-ranking officials of the Great Song Dynasty scoffed at Li Yuanhao's self-depravity, and regarded his baldness order and change of etiquette as a joke.
There are also some erudite Confucians, which prove the shallowness and omission of the Tangut script from countless aspects. He has also used countless materials to prove that only Chinese characters are the most perfect.
Since Li Yuanhao voluntarily deviated from civilization and ran wild all the way on the road of barbarianism, we can only silently watch him pretend, uh no, I wish him all the way crazy.
If Zhao Song is compared to a fat pig, entangled in which piece of mud to jump on every day, Xixia Yuanhao is a wolf from the West, who has already sharpened his minions and is ready to choose someone at any time.
And as the most powerful man in the Asian continent, Yelu Zong, the lord of the Northern Liao Kingdom, is really a dog, and he is still the best Erha among dogs.
Friends who have raised dogs know that the reason why Erha is called Erha is because under its seemingly fierce appearance, there is a soul of Erha.
Let's take a look at the calendar of Yelu Zongzhen in 1038!
Spring, the first month, Xin Chou, the Liao lord is like mixing with the river.
In February, Yihai, the lord of Liao was stationed in Dongchuan from Chunzhou. At noon, the Liao lord was fortunate to read the eagle falcon in five squares.
In March, Ren Yin, the lord of Liao is like Puhedian.
In April, Ji Mao, the Liao lord hunted the white horse pot. Jiashen, shoot rabbits in the new dianjing, spin hunting in Jinshan.
In July, Wushen, the lord of Liao is like Heiling.
In September, Ding Wei, the lord of Liao was stationed in Pingdian.
Winter, October, Jiazishuo, Liao lord of the Liao River, stationed in Baimadian.
In December, Liao summoned dozens of people who were good at hitting the bow in Tokyo (Liaoyang), and ordered the close ministers to win, and the Liao lord came to watch.
From this person's calendar, it is not difficult for you to see that this is a king who has a lot of opportunities, this is a veteran traveler!
Maybe some officials who are proficient in history will say that this is the custom of making bowls in Liao, this is the tradition of others, there is nothing wrong with it!
This is a regular exercise to maintain the characteristics of the nomads, to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army.
Well, even if you're right!
But in ancient times, transportation and communication were extremely inconvenient, knowing where the boss was, it was not necessarily possible to report work in time.
Fortunately, Yelu Zong is really not like a certain boss who loves mountaineering, he only cares about his own leisure, and even loses the company. Luckily - more likely to be tired of playing, occasionally remembering that I seem to have a company, uh no, country.
So, Yelu Zongzhen did another thing, recording prisoners.
The so-called "recording of prisoners" refers to irregular visits to prisons to review and record the situation of detainees, so as to prevent wrongful imprisonment and drowning, and to supervise the implementation of the judicial system of prison management - that is, the review system of later generations.
A number of unjust cases have been tried and dealt with, and a number of corrupt officials have been dealt with, and a number of experience points and reputations have been obtained.
The rest? Naturally, there are professional managers and vice chairmen to do it, otherwise what use do I want you to do?
Professional managers are easy to understand, and officials at all levels work for the chairman, even if they are professional managers. Didn't I pay you your wages just so that you could share my worries and manage those people?
Vice chairman, here needs to be explained.
It is said that in the feudal society of the family, there can only be one chairman, and there is often only one legal heir (the prince), and the heir has no authority. The only chance is to wait for the chairman to hang up before the heir can ascend the throne and perform his duties.
But Erha is Erha, and his style of acting is very abnormal.
In the early days of Yelu Zongzhen's accession to the throne, the power was once held by his biological mother Xiao Yunjin. Xiao Yunjin even had the intention of re-establishing his brother Yelu Chongyuan, but fortunately, Yelu Chongyuan leaked his mother's plan to Yelu Zongzhen - I really don't know what this person thinks. So, Yelu Zongzhen took the opportunity to travel and led the guards to eradicate the power of Xiao Yunjin and his henchmen in one fell swoop, consolidating his position.
Subsequently, he was grateful to the loyal Yelu Chongyuan.
Look, this is character! This is a role model for being a brother!
Reward! Big Reward!
The generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses? No, no, no! Not enough to express my affection for my brother!
Brother Huang? This can be there! If I ride a crane to the west one day, you will be the next lord of the Great Liao!
Too little? This and both cities are for you! Don't be afraid of what others will say, just say that I lost to you by playing cards.
Too child's play? Talk nonsense! Who dares to question that my brand is not good?
