Ten miles outside the Nanxun Gate, it was originally a suburb, but now it has become a world full of flowers. The people who desperately squeezed in front of Chen Dong to talk to him may have blurred faces, and they are all smiling. The stature is different in height, and they are all gorgeous brocade robes. Everywhere Chen Dong went, he was at the center of the crowd. Qingliu celebrities, wealthy businessmen and magnates, forming a circle of ripples, satin glowing, embellished with pearls and crown jade. Further out, there are butlers and servants, looking enviously and timidly at the ripples of wealth in the middle circle.

Chen Dong held a wine glass in his hand with a smile on his face. Suddenly, his gaze fell on the outside of this pavilion, and his expression became a little solemn.

Outside the Shili Pavilion, the north wind was cold, and I don't know when, it rained light snow in the sky again. In the past, Xie Jiayongxue, Xie An did "sprinkling salt in the air", and Xie Daoyun won with "not if the catkins rose because of the wind". At this time, the light snow is just like a fine salt powder.

The two men shrunk their necks, hunched their backs, and kept rubbing their hands and stamping their feet, as if the weather was extremely cold. There was an eight-foot man next to him, burly and strong, like an iron tower standing on the ground. The big man's clothes were thin, but he stood in the snow at will, not afraid of the cold, and a thin layer of snow accumulated on his shoulders, and he did not bother to shake it off, but only stood there, his eyes slightly closed, occasionally opening and closing, but with awe-inspiring majesty.

"What a man!" Chen Dong's heart moved slightly, his eyes stopped on the three people for a moment, and several helpers shouted: "This is being practiced for Lord Chen, and the thief and the army stand a little away." Don't disturb the adults. The one who spoke didn't know that it was the housekeeper of Nafu, and Chen Dong couldn't help frowning. The edict sent all the exiles from all states to the prison camps in Guangnan and Qiongzhou, and then moved to overseas fertile soil under the supervision of the Guangzhou Municipal Envoy. and the exiled prisoner shall be his servant.

The original intention of the people of the Science Society to promote this policy of expanding the sea and cultivating the land was to eliminate the pressure of the people and the lack of land for the Great Song Dynasty. The clinker court was the same as the real border government of the Han and Tang dynasties, and finally sent the people who were traitors in the world to reclaim the wasteland. There are even court officials who are extremely "keen" in seeing things, and they write to the court one step earlier to ask the court not to forcibly abolish the deeds signed by the landlords and tenants, so that the tenants cannot abandon the tenants at will. Merchants even regarded the migrants as slaves who could be exploited at will. This is all against Chen Dong's original intention. Chen Dong is not ignorant of the world, as the saying goes, poor people must have something to hate. Although many of the people who are unscrupulous and committed adultery and criminals escorted by various states and counties have been wronged and framed, it is really a hundred times more difficult to deal with these people than those who are good people. Hundreds of thousands of people were settled, and there was a shortage of officials and officials, and it was impossible to really treat them as slaves and distribute them to major trading houses.

The idle words of "thieves with troops" actually scolded the two escorted officials. The two of them didn't dare to compete with the strengths of the dignitaries and nobles in this full pavilion, and they laughed bitterly and whispered to persuade the real exile. The man's face was as cold as iron, his eyes opened, and he glanced towards the pavilion, his eyes were as sharp as a blade, and several helpers suddenly burst into their hearts, and said secretly: "What a fierce god!" "Those two officials are like mice seeing cats, they must be murderous Jiangyang thieves." In a panic, he forgot to scold.

At this moment, Chen Dong came over and greeted: "Shili Pavilion is for pedestrians to say goodbye, no matter whether they are virtuous or foolish, they can rest here." When the gangsters got this step, they all retreated to the back in a hurry, and said in a low voice: "Master Chen is high-spirited and bright, and he is humble and open-minded, and he doesn't care about the thieves and the army." The big man's eyes closed slightly. Everyone in the pavilion knew at a glance that it was either rich or expensive, but this big man turned a blind eye. Chen Dong was strange, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you come from?" Where is this exile going? ”

Although Chen Dong didn't look at the two messengers when he asked, the two messengers looked at him without blinking, and they were busy dealing with Shangguan's posture, bowing down and replying: "The two of us are the Kaifeng Mansion officials Dillon and Shi Lian, and they were ordered to escort the prisoner Wu Song to Guangnan. "The prefect of Hangzhou was first killed, and the magistrate was involved in the case, so the criminal department had to take the prisoner to the capital for retrial. After the verdict was handed down, he was also exiled from the capital to Guangnan Chongjun. According to the edict, this Wu Song will also be among the exiles who go to the sea to reclaim.

After the words "Prisoner Wu Song" came out, Chen Dong's face changed slightly, and most of the people in the officialdom in the Shili Pavilion also changed color, and they suddenly calmed down.

The case of Cai Jun's assassination is too much to do with it, and then it was brought out that the Science Society colluded with Wu Song, the magistrate of Hangzhou Prefecture, to steal the case of the burial of the bones of the criminal Hu Keji. The name of Wu Song, who was originally unknown, is known to anyone who pays attention to this matter. Chen Dong inquired more carefully about the details of this Wu Song, this person is from Wujia Village, Qinghe County, his parents are dead, his family is poor, and the two brothers have been scattered since childhood. The eldest brother Wu Zhi is seven feet long, dignified in appearance, first cultivated and studied, and later was valued by the teacher and invested in Wuling Academy. The official residence of Yanggu County ordered that when he first took office, he eliminated a number of bullies in the county, and showed the first evil person to the public. In the name of a capable official, he is known as Jingxi Road, and the annual assessment is on the top. The brother Wu Song was exiled in Hangzhou, and was discovered by the former Kochi Prefecture when he was selling art in Yongjinmen, and was first appointed as a detention officer, and because of his ability, he was promoted to a magistrate. Later, the Kochi Mansion was framed by the traitorous party and removed from office, because Fang Layu's party had been in turmoil, and Cai Jun had no suitable person to replace the magistrate for a while, so he was stabbed to death by Hu Keji. After that, Wu Song stole the bones, and Wu Zilong and others buried Hu Keji. Most of the civil officials on Jingdong and Jingdong Road are in the first line of Wuling Academy, and it is difficult for outsiders to gain a foothold, the officialdom is intertwined, the needle cannot be inserted, and the water is difficult to enter. Although Cai's henchmen had the intention of revenge, they had no way to take Wuzhi for a while, but they took advantage of this reason to get closer to the Science Society and Wuling Academy.

"These two brothers, one literate and one martial, are both heroes." Chen Dong groaned secretly and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Wu Ti Shi, bring the wine, and I, Chen Shaoyang, will give Wu Ti Shi a cup." ”

Wu Songhu's body shook slightly, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked Chen Dong up and down. The inside and outside of the Ten Mile Pavilion became quiet.

Some people are excited, some are frightened, and some are inexplicable. Deng Su said secretly: "Shaoyang, Shaoyang, do you think you haven't been caught deep enough in this case?" Are you afraid that others won't know that Hu Keji was instructed by the acceptance society? He secretly complained in his heart, but under the prohibition, he couldn't stop it. On the other hand, Chen Dong was demoted and exiled, and hundreds of scholars involved in the case of the Science Society were exiled to Qiongzhou. Now the backbone of the society in the DPRK is faintly headed by Deng Su. The big waves wash the sand, the turbidity is floating, twenty or thirty years later, who can hold the world's bull's ears. In Deng Shouyi's heart, there is no glimmer of heat.

The night was deep, the cold air was refreshing, and in the yellow tent of the White Jade Palace, there was a slight sigh. "Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban." Zhao Guanjia flipped through the secret recital of the Imperial City Division, and rubbed his forehead quite tiredly, "Chen Shaoyang is straightforward and not a party, and he is a usable capable minister. But this celebrity has a temperament, and he has to grind a few times in the south. "Tong Taiwei stood in the palace, his eyelids drooped slightly, as if he didn't hear it, but he was a little proud in his heart." Did the thief match the army really happen to run into Chen Tietou? It's not our means yet. ”

Liaoyang City is the premier town in eastern Liaodong. Legend has it that when the Qin State destroyed Yan, the Qin general Li Xin chased and killed the prince Dan here. The city was repeatedly plundered by soldiers because of the main rush. In Liao, it was the capital of Tokyo Province and once governed more than 40 prefectures. The scale of the city is large, the city wall is two zhang high, the width is thirty miles, and there are eight city gates. There are all kinds of workshops in the city, this place is unique, the workshop is especially good at iron smelting, the blades produced in Liaoyang, are known for their pure color, sharpness and durability, and are also very famous in the Central Plains. At this time, together with the Khitan and Bohai people from all over the country who fled into the city, the population in the city was close to 500,000, including about 1230,000 Han slaves, 2560,000 Bohai people, and 1560,000 Khitans. Although there were more than 80,000 defenders, more than 50,000 were ordered to concentrate in Liaoyang, and the Khitan army had more than 20,000 people, all of whom were cavalry. It's just that the Khitan army is not good at defending the city, and morale has been a little low.

The Jin army marched very quickly, although it made a detour, but almost at the same time as the main force of the Jin State arrived in Shenzhou, the 30,000 Jin soldiers led by Wanyan Xian also rushed to the outside of Liaoyang City. Xiao Suxian, who was left behind in Tokyo, relied on the high and deep pools of Liaoyang City, with sufficient reserves, closed the city gates, refused to accept the Jin army and the Han army into the city, and refused to provide grain and grass, and only sent envoys to make a fool of himself.

Xiao Suxian originally communicated with Jin Guo, and the leader of the troops was also full of thought that as soon as the soldiers and horses arrived, Liaoyang City would open its gates to accept it. Most of what I did in my mind was the plan of how to prevent the counterattack of the Liao State after receiving Liaoyang, who would have expected that Xiao Suxian would temporarily change his hexagram, and the Jin soldiers only came to ten Meng'an this time, 10,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantry, and if they wanted to forcibly attack the city, they would not be able to do it. Because of the speed of the soldiers, Wan Yan Xian did not even carry enough siege equipment. I had to temporarily set up a big camp outside Liaoyang City, waving flags during the day, corresponding drums and horns, and bonfires at night were like ten thousand stars, continuous until the edge of the sky, which was terrifying.

Wan Yan Xian is also the second Bo Jilie, since he refused to wait for the main force of the Jin State led by Wan Yan Ci to capture Shenzhou before going down to Liaoyang, he immediately did not talk to Xiao Suxian, and sent the fourth prince Wan Yan Zongbi as an envoy to urge the Suzhou Han army to go north to attack Liaoyang. The Han army, from Han Ningshuang to the generals of each battalion, all had hidden plans to preserve their strength, and they resolutely refused to sacrifice their soldiers in vain to attack the city for the Jin soldiers. After the Shuai Mansion held a feast to entertain Yan Zongbi, he flickered when he talked about the date of the troops.

Wanyan Zongbi had a strong intention about Han Ningshuang, and it was not easy to urge him violently. Whether the fifth uncle can establish a great achievement after Yan Xian finishes it, he is actually not enthusiastic, he just takes this excuse and goes to the Shuaifu every day to talk about things. Han Ningshuang was so annoyed that sometimes she avoided it, and sometimes she summoned the generals to invite Yan Zongbi to the banquet, but she only talked about official business and did not meet him alone, which also made the four princes of the Jin Kingdom angry.
