After Cui Qianzhi retired, Yelu Dashi's squinted eyes opened, revealing a hint of fierceness, and said in a low voice: "The saint is not dead, and the thief is not stopped." ”

Brother Yelu Tiege only said that His Majesty was scolding his mother, and also said stupidly: "I didn't alarm the tiger, but it led out a mad dog that bit people indiscriminately." The Suzhou thieves brutally killed 5,000 of our people, and this account cannot be counted like this. Just kill a group of slaves who colluded with the thieves and sacrificed the flag to the Northern Expedition army. He paused, sighed, and said: "Yelu Dilie has pleaded guilty again, I appeased him, and ordered him to stay in Shenzhou and make meritorious contributions." None of the people who killed the mouth escaped, and there was no leakage, and it was not a big mistake. ”

Yelu Dashi nodded and said, "Di Lie is a real person, and he has always done things safely. This incident was also an unintentional mistake. News came from Bianliang that Zhao Ke summoned me to the envoy and asked about Shenzhou. The Science Society of the Song State was hyping up this matter, and even wrote a letter to ask for the Northern Expedition, recover the clouds, and save Han'er from fire and water. Later, there was a hint of sarcasm in Yelu Dashi's tone, and then his face turned solemn. He looked at Yelu Tiege and said, "As the privy council of the Northern Court, you must remember that you must concentrate all your efforts on dealing with an enemy country at all times. ”

"I understand."

"Xia Guo is embarrassed with us in Tokyo Province, and he is not rude to us, and there are still armor and ordnance left in the treasury, so he will send two thousand sets to the Erbo Department, and Xijing Road will allocate tens of thousands of stone winter grain to them."

"Obey." Yelu Tiege agreed in a deep voice, and then asked, "What about those mad dogs?" Let them go on so rampant? ”

Yelu Dashi's eyes were slightly cold, the number of Khitan tribes was not large, and the Han army beheaded 5,000 men in one go, which really violated the taboo in his heart. He pondered for a long time, and his expression changed several times. "This mad dog, I have my own way of cleaning it up. Put it first. This matter has already alarmed the Xia Kingdom and the Song Kingdom, so we can only settle the matter first," he sighed and said in a low voice, "If the Han people unite, it will be our henchmen." ”

The clear light of the moon shone through the hollow of the dome of the imperial tent, and the stars shimmered like jewels in the dark blue satin night sky. After the ministers had retreated, Jerodashi stood up and took a few steps back and forth under the starry sky, looking up at the seemingly endless and distant sky. Whenever this happens, he feels a little lonely and independent, as if his divine soul and immortal heaven have merged into one. Except when it rains and snows, the dome of this emperor's tent is almost always open, regardless of cold or heat. The weary and tired spirit was washed by this mysterious night sky, and it was as if he had returned to the life of his ancestors on the grassland, where the sky was the dome, the ground was the felt carpet, and the herds of horses, cattle and sheep roamed freely on the grassland. That's the Khitans.

After wandering for a moment, Yelu Dashi fell into deep thought again. Song Xia's invariably coming out for the Han people in Liaodong this time is a sign of extreme danger. "What the hell is going on?"

............

Zhao Xingde received Chen Dong's reply in December. He Xingde has not written for a long time, and Chen Dong's letter is very long. There was no real urgency, but the fastest post was used, and I don't know how much money it cost. Doing things like this is in line with his bold temperament. Li Yong doesn't care about these either. Thanks to Chen Dong's blessing, Zhao Xingde finally learned the latest situation in the Central Plains.

Emperor Zhao Ke has been on the throne for two years, and after initially mastering the government, he began to show his edge. Wang Yan was deployed in the southeast camp and Liu Yanqing was deployed in the Hebei camp. In order to avoid the suffering of the soldiers, the two commanders could only bring 50 of their own soldiers to their posts. Although the major generals are deeply entrenched, they are obviously quite moved. Cao Di was deployed in the Xijing camp, Yang Zhongsi was deployed in the Hedong camp, and the Hedong Road was slightly pacified and adapted, and the three side court pillars were on the table together. The official family issued an order to encourage him and retain him to continue to be loyal to the country, and also gave the three old ministers brocade robes, jade belts, flags and other things. In the end, the two veterans of Cao and Zhe remained in office, Yang Zhongsi was added as the general of the left guard, disarmed and returned to the field, and his son Yang Yanqing succeeded to the deployment of the Hedong Xing battalion. The Hedong Army withdrew from Hebei, and Wang Yanying immediately sent troops to take over Zhending Mansion. There was a faint discussion in the DPRK and China about making the eunuch supervision of the army a permanent system, and many scholars of the science society desperately opposed it, and there was even a proposal that the eunuchs should not be allowed to leave Beijing. None of the officials commentated on these discussions.

In the case of Cai Jun's assassination, the assassin Hu Keji killed people to pay for his life, and was sentenced to Ling Chi for his heinous crime, but after all, he was not defiled for the crime of rebellion. The scholars of the Science Society secretly communicated with Wu Song, the magistrate of Hangzhou Prefecture, collected Hu Keji's remains and buried them in the south of Taihu Lake, and Wukang County ordered Wu Zilong to write "the tomb of Hu Keji, the righteous man of the Great Song Dynasty". Wu Song was convicted of self-theft and assassinated in Guangnan, and hundreds of bachelors of science were implicated, including Wu Zilong, all of whom were exiled to Qiongzhou. Today's son did not blindly suppress the clear stream, not only personally issued an edict to the prefect of Qiongzhou, not to humiliate and destroy the bones of the scholars, the imperial court also supplied the necessary food and cloth, but these scholars were not allowed to leave Qiongzhou.

The imperial court reversed the passive situation of Hu Keji's case in the Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop. Not only did Taishi Cai express his gratitude, but the world said that he was a promising monarch today, and even most of the exiled scholars also said that His Majesty was a rare generous and wise king. Only when Zhao Xingde read this verse, he felt a wave of disgust from his heart.

The earlier Yuanyu Party and the figures of the Science Society were also more and more prominent. Qin Hui is a scholar of Jixian Hall and is in charge of Qiuqiu. Li Ruobing was recommended by Huang Jian, who was framed by the traitorous party in the past, and was transferred back to Beijing to serve as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. Because of the two cases of An Sigu and Hu Keji, there was some controversy and unhappiness within the Science Society, and the call for further discussion of turbidity became higher and higher.

This time, the Science Society unanimously accused the Liao State of indiscriminately killing innocents, and urged the imperial court to avenge the Han people in Liaodong, and not to sit idly by and watch Youyan fall into a foreign land for a long time. On the contrary, to some extent, it alleviated the crisis of the split of the science society. And Zhao Xingde, who initiated this matter, was regarded as an acceptable figure by various factions of the Science Society. The longer he lived in seclusion, the more famous he became. There are already some backward scholars, and they have made an appointment to go to Liaodong to visit celebrities.

At the end of the letter, Chen Dongcai faintly mentioned that he was sent out of Beijing because of his involvement in the Hu Kehe case, and served as the prefect of Guangzhou, and concurrently promoted the envoy of Guangzhou City, in charge of organizing immigrants to go to sea to expand the territory. At present, an order has been issued to requisition and dismiss the vagrants, to dismantle the van army, and to take prisoners, sons-in-law, thieves, prostitutes, those who cannot return debts, those who deceive the public, and those who pretend to be monks and Taoists, and other people who violate morals and morals and commit adultery. All of them were first sent to the prison camps in Guangnan and Qiongzhou, and then migrated in batches under the supervision of the Guangzhou Municipal Envoy to reclaim the fertile land overseas. Chen Dong predicts that in the near future, the Central Plains Prefecture and County will be clean, and there are many maritime businessmen who are playing the abacus of this group of drifters and expanding the sea.

"This matter of immigration and reclamation fell into the hands of Chen Shaoyang, but it was lost in the east corner and harvested mulberry elm." Zhao Xingde was quite pleased to think that when he saw the source of those immigrants, he couldn't help frowning, sighed, and folded the letter paper casually. At this time, the weather was bitterly cold, and after such a short period of effort, the inkstone had just been sharpened and condensed into ice, and it had to be ground again before replying. Thinking that when Chen Dong saw the letter, he was already in Guangzhou, and two or three friends were separated from each other, and he felt a little stunned.

What Chen Dong did not mention in the letter was that Qian Qi, the eunuch of the official family when he was in the East Palace, served as the eunuch of Guangzhou City, and the commander of the Guangzhou Navy Army. Qian Jue also has great power in the matter of immigration and reclamation. The matter of Chen Dong being exiled to Guangzhou caused a lot of discussion in the entire Song Dynasty and the opposition. Some say that His Majesty intends to cultivate Chen Dong, and after serving as a state and county, he will pay homage to the prime minister when he returns to Beijing. It is also said that Chen Shaoyang angered His Majesty because he wrote a letter to defend Hu Keji's grievances, and lost the favor of the saint. Because of the recommendation of Prime Minister Zhao Zhifu, Deng Suquan's waiter in the Ministry of Rites played a pivotal role in the tribute examination and became a hot figure. Some officials from the Science Society regarded Deng Su as their leader, while others attacked Deng Su for not being able to distinguish between the turbidity and merging with the mediocre old ministers in the court.

Neither Chen Dong nor Deng Su made any defense for these rumors. It's just that on the day that Chen Dong left Beijing, Deng Suqin sent out ten miles outside the Nanxun Gate, and the two of them wrote poems and drank in the Ten Mile Pavilion to say goodbye.

It was a very cold day, almost dripping into ice, plus it was snowing all night last night. Hundreds of miles outside the city have become a snow country, pedestrians are scarce, and birds are almost extinct. However, the atmosphere of the Shili Pavilion outside the Nanxun Gate is extremely lively, thousands of officials, gentlemen and businessmen have surrounded the Shili Pavilion in a real way, and the snow hundreds of steps away from the Shili Pavilion are full of carriages and horses to see them off. Chen Dong was dressed in a black Confucian robe, covered with a white bear skin, with a smile on his face, answering words in his mouth, and bowing goodbye to his acquaintances from time to time. The people who saw him off were surrounded by water, and Chen Dong gave way between advancing and retreating, but there was a hint of depression between his eyebrows. Mrs. Chen had been waiting in the car for a long time, and since she married into the Imperial Mansion, she had lived in seclusion and rarely made appearances.

Mo said that Chen Dong was Jian's important minister in the emperor's heart, and he was the head of the Science Society, and he was the leader of the world's clear stream, that is, the prefect of Guangzhou and the envoy of the city. Overseas spices, ivory, rhino horn, Jiamu and other treasures have long been sold in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty. The imperial court launched this strategy of expanding the sea, and there was a large number of laborers who did not need money to use, which was simply a free gift. As long as the Guangzhou City Bo Si made the golden mouth open, the wealth immediately went in, and the seams of his fingers loosened slightly, and what flowed down was the gold and silver sea. So on this day, the wealthy businessmen of Bianliang were all present. The Qingliu celebrities and wealthy businessmen of the whole Bianliang gathered in front of the Shili Pavilion, which was really extraordinary and lively.

This side of the car was lively, and three people came in the distance. Two officials escorted a big man with a tiger's back and a strange appearance. Seeing that the Shili Pavilion was already crowded with people, the official in front of him turned around and nodded to the shackled man and said, "Uncle Wu, there are big nobles eating wine in this pavilion, so how about resting outside?" ”
