Part 4 The Madness Against the Sky Chapter 4354 The Story of That Wind and Snow
Yu replied briskly: "Oh! ”
Zhao Xing continued: "Don't be idle, you take a naval army, and I will hand over a platoon (thirty people) of musketeers to you, and immediately go to Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau, arrest Zhu Mian for me, and raid Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau......"
After a pause, Zhao Xing added: "But if there is resistance, it is not a matter of killing." Love//Book ^^Who//"
The Zhizhou behind Lu Yu was no longer struggling, and he interjected: "There is also the method of increasing the price and the method of discounting and gold, and the method of three roundings......"
This Zhizhou's name is Hou Meng (1o54~1121), the character Yuangong, a native of Gaomi (now Shandong) in Mizhou. Jin Shi and the first, the commander of the Bao Ji, after Zong Ze Zhibai Township County, after the promotion of supervising the imperial history, into the palace to serve the imperial history. Chongning discussed ten things from time to time, moved to serve the imperial history, and changed the book of the criminal department. Because of his blunt statement that Cai Jing's heart was not right, Cai Jing was jealous and hated, and he slandered the emperor and was demoted to the prefect of Yangzhou.
Houmeng in history. is also famous because he is the person who offered his words to recruit An Song Jiang and participated in the encirclement and suppression of Fang La. In fact, this Zhizhou is no longer the incumbent, he was demoted again because of his opposition to the "Price Increase and Discount Law and the Law of Hejin", and he went out of Zhihaozhou, but the new official has not yet arrived, and he temporarily stayed in Yangzhou to take office.
The so-called "increase discount method and and. The Law of Gold" is another "Shaosheng" move made by Cai Jing according to Wang Anshi's "Xining Reform". The simple meaning of this change is: money and things are repeatedly changed, "both silk and wheat are exchanged for money." Silk is compared with money, and money is twice as much as silk; Money is more wheat than wheat, and wheat is more than money. The tossing and turning has increased, and the people have nothing to complain about".
To put it simply, the taxes of the imperial court must be paid in silver, and when the government apportions them, they are discounted into grain and silk, so that the people can pay them, and in the process of discounting, they must add the loss part, which must be borne by the people, and will be collected by the "law-changing officials" and put into their own pockets.
And that's not counting because of the grain. Food and silk are inconvenient in the process of transportation, and they are easy to become moldy and deteriorated, so the local officials have to fold again, this time the "fold" is to exchange for silver, and then the silver money or silk is hard to distribute to the people, requiring the people to "(be) voluntarily" buy, this is "and", the court with the "and buy" way and then the money or silk is converted into money, so as to facilitate transportation, this exchange, still to calculate the loss, how much loss, "change the law" officials" have the final say.
If the "change of law" thinks. In this way, the cash is repeatedly exchanged for grain, and then the grain is exchanged for cash, and each time it is reversed, the "law-changing officials" pounce on the people like evil wolves and suck the flesh and blood of the people, making the people miserable, and countless rich households become beggars overnight. In this way, the state's taxes have not increased in fact, and the wealth of the people has been transmitted to the hands of the "law-changing officials".
Out of resentment, Hou Meng went on. The book criticized the "method of increasing the price and the method of discounting and gold", which once again angered Cai Jing and was degraded. At this moment, hearing that Zhao Xing used the seal of the deputy prime minister to announce the abolition of the Trade Law and the mutated salt money law, Hou Meng, who was originally indignant about Zhao Xing's unauthorized dispatch of troops and disarming Yangzhou, also compromised at this time, and he reminded Zhao Xing loudly not to forget the other two laws.
Song dynasty. With the official position of prime minister, the person is sealed. It is common to return the emperor's edict. As a magistrate. Declare that a decree of the place where the emperor issued it cannot be enforced. Ask the Emperor to take it back. It is also common. Zhao Xing announced the use of the seal of "Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhang Military and State Affairs" to abolish Cai Jingdi's reform. This is in line with the officialdom system of the Song Dynasty. Hou Meng based on his own position. It is only natural to show your support. And to speak out to instigate.
"It can't be scrapped for the time being. I ...... about these three rounds," Zhao Xing said in a deep voice.
Hou Meng shouted: "The Three Houses Law abolishes the imperial examination. The world's scholars complained. This law is not abolished. When is it going to be! ”
Zhao Xing suddenly woke up. The imperial examination is the dream of scholars. Although he agrees with Wang An's three-way method. But at this moment. It is the time to fight for the strength of the scholars. Abolish the three-rounding rule. Obey the wishes of the reader. It is the best means to win public opinion.
"As promised. It was then ordered to abolish the method of increasing the price and discounting, the law of harmony and gold, and the law of rounding...... What else? ”
Hou Meng shook his head: "That's all for now." If there is again. When the payment of banknotes is abolished. ”
Zhao Xing smiled: "Didn't anyone tell you - I have always been a conciliator, and the money can be invalidated, but the paper money cannot be abolished." The three major banks bank banknotes, set up a reserve system, how much business, how much banknotes, now the credit of the banknotes is equivalent to gold and silver, and easy to carry, easy to trade. Therefore, the payment of banknotes can be invalidated, but the paper money cannot be abolished.
If the reserve system is also implemented for the payment of banknotes, it can also prevail in the world. ”
Hou Meng stomped his feet: "Lord Taiwei is ...... bad"
Zhao Xing waved his hand to interrupt Hou Meng's words: "My soldiers have been on the road for three days, and they are already tired, and now the night is dark, let the soldiers land on the shore, and I will talk about it tomorrow." ”
Hou Meng pondered for a moment, and immediately answered: "Go and go together." ”
Lu Yu sneered: "How can Lord Zhizhou be willing...... Taiwei, I specially invited Yangzhou 'Yizhangqing' to dance for Taiwei in Changchun Building, Taiwei here. ”
Zhao Xing shook his head: "Suzhou should be in charge of the bureau, you go in person, this matter is important, Hugh is going to get away." ”
Hou Meng immediately stepped forward, squeezed Lu Yu aside, and said with a sneer: "Suzhou should be served by the bureau, the tiger and wolf are in charge, and the people are exploited in every way, all of them are guilty. ”
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Zhao Xing was testing him, and the thirty musketeers who accompanied him were not so much to assist him as to monitor him, if his position was slightly unstable, I was afraid that the group of musketeers would report that they had "died in the enemy" and buried him.
Lu Yu, who was in a cold sweat, agreed,
The dock was dotted with a thousand sailors, and they boarded the boat with great momentum. Night voyage on the Yangtze River T (life is at stake, Lu Yu can't take care of it.)
On the wharf, the soldiers began to fish ashore and enter the Yangzhou military camp. At the beginning, the Yangzhou military camp built by Zhao Xing could accommodate 50,000 soldiers, and after he left, although the Yangzhou Navy had rented out part of the military camp as a factory, after all, it did not dare to be overly arrogant. The remaining houses are still enough to squeeze 5,000 people.
In the footsteps of the soldiers, Zhao Xing followed Hou Meng towards Changchun Tower, and the black man Tyson walked in front of his horse, holding a bright lantern. Tyson's skin was dark, and in the night, the whole person was completely integrated into the surrounding scenery, so that in the eyes of ordinary people, it seemed that the bright lamp in front of Zhao Xing's horse was suspended in the void, as if a ghost was walking with the lamp.
The whole Changchun building is brightly lit but empty, the lamp stand in front of the building is full of red lanterns, the whole street is illuminated by this piece of light as if burning, quietly in front of the building, several musketeers in red military uniforms are standing guard, this is Zhao Xing's vanguard army, they arrived in Yangzhou a day in advance, took over the military administration of Yangzhou. At this time, seeing Zhao Xing's arrival, an officer stepped forward and saluted, and hinted: "Lord Taiwei, everything is fine." ”
Zhao Xing smiled and nodded, several cuirass warriors with swords in their waists and handcuffs immediately rushed into front of the door, patrolling along the hall, Hou Meng got out of the sedan chair while watching the actions of Zhao Xing's guards, and argued embarrassedly: "Xianggong, why bother, this is still under the rule of my Great Song Dynasty!" ”
Zhao Xing didn't have a solution. Release, he jumped off the horse, the old bustard at the door of the building saw Zhao Xing coming, first opened his mouth in shock, and immediately shouted again: "Ji Mo is Lord Taiwei, the former Yangzhou guard, ladies, Taiwei is here, come out to greet ......"
With the shouts of the old bustards, a flock. The warbler and the swallow flower branch flashed out, and greeted Zhao Xing with laughter. The old bustard approached Hou Meng's side and asked in a low voice, "Lord Zhizhou, is it an ordinary banquet guest today?" …… Our family didn't know that the guest was Lord Taiwei. ”
Hou Meng rolled his eyes: "Whether it counts as an official order, you don't suffer a loss, you serve Lord Taiwei well, and I'm afraid that you won't have any money." ”
The bustard agreed: "That's that, the girls cheered up." ”
Zhao Xing didn't look back to Changchun. Walking in the building, he went straight to the third floor, sat on it proudly, and immediately clapped his hands and shouted: "Yangzhou is a zhangqing, the world is famous, come out to greet it, I will also carefully understand the stunt of Yizhangqing today." ”
Yangzhou Yizhangqing, the nickname of "Yizhangqing" is actually an abbreviation of "Yizhang Danqing".
With Zhao Xing's shout, a dressed man. The dressed woman danced out of the screen, she bowed to Zhao Xing with a smile, and sang coquettishly: "When I begged for the edict in person, it attracted nonsense, and everyone submitted a letter of security, younger than Luoyang."
The self-prosecution officer sent Yue Temple, but it collapsed together. There are many things to mistake, there are many mistakes, and there are many mistakes! ”
This was a small order at that time, and it was the predecessor of Yuanqu. This small order was made by an anonymous person, and it is rumored that the author was a member of the Xinyuan Yu Party, who was brave enough to write because of the national policy of Song Huizong's edict, and was recently put into a separate volume by Song Huizong's edict, and committed the crime of speech.
This small order satirizes Song Huizong's words and is untrustworthy, but as soon as a kabuki comes on the stage, he uses this small order to greet the imperial lieutenant and the deputy prime minister of the emperor and Song Dynasty, which is a little bold.
This is the Song Dynasty, the era of the existence of the singers Yang Shu, Liu Jingniang, and Guan Miaomiao. These kabuki are bold beyond the imagination of later generations, and their unrestrained personalities are jaw-dropping.
"Yizhang Qing" Song Xinxin sang and danced, knelt down in the middle of the hall, and bowed to see: "The little woman Song Xinxin visited Lord Taiwei, Lord Taiwei won all battles, and fought for the Emperor and Song Dynasty, but I thought that the territory of the Emperor and Song Dynasty was full of mourning, Huashigang broke the family and ruined the family, and the salt money law was ......."
Zhao Xing interrupted the other party's words, waved his hand and said, "I'm tired today, late at night, hungry, and I'll bring me food, Song Xing, what about your stunt." ”
As he was talking, the next person held a few square porcelain basins, the porcelain basins have a shallow layer of water, a layer of flower petals floating on the water, and it seems that a little Indian perfume is sprinkled, and the fragrance of the whole basin is compelling.
The slaves brought the square porcelain basin to Zhao Xing's feet, Zhao Xing raised his feet, and several female dancers stepped forward to remove his boots and take off his shoes and socks for Zhao Xing, took out the white steps, put Zhao Xing's feet into the perfume basin, and wiped them carefully - this is called "wet feet", which means washing dust.
After washing his feet, the female actors carefully changed into new shoes and socks for Zhao Xing, and at this time, a large layer of paper had been spread out in the hall, which was more than a zhang long and five feet wide. At one end of the paper there is also a square porcelain basin for moistening, but the porcelain basin is filled with shallow ink.
At this time, the wine and food were brought up, Yizhang Qing carefully lifted the corner of the skirt, stepped into the square porcelain basin, she was wearing a pair of white socks on her feet, the shallow ink stained the pair of white socks, and so on to the bottom of the socks to absorb enough ink, Yizhang Qing in the "Mountains and Flowing Water" under the accompaniment of the piano music, carrying the corner of the skirt carefully stepped on the silk paper, leaving footprints on the paper.
The flute joined the accompaniment, a zhang qing gradually walked faster, dancing while walking, as her body rotated, the skirt opened, like a fan, and like a lotus leaf floating on the water, swaying with the wind in the water, she danced and sang at the same time, fluttering like a frightening flood, as fast as lightning. Obviously, her body dances urgently, but her waist and arms dance soothing and elegant, as if a soprano singer sings to the highest note, and the singing is connected into a string, but every note is heard vividly and clearly.
Zhao Xing watched the knotting appreciation, as if suddenly, Yizhang Qing had finished dancing, she was like an elegant swan, kneeling on the picture, the spread skirt was her wings, she sat there elegantly, stretched out her beautiful neck, and posed in a beautiful shape.
At her feet, the footprints, though messy, were orderly, and she used her feet
A dragon in alternate shades, resembling an ink painting, with a dragon tail, dragon horns, and dragon hands? The traces of T are very distinct, but on the whole, the picture is so coordinated.
The whole painting time is just in need of a piece of music, and when the music is finished, the ink on the paper has dried, and the blue that sits on the canvas becomes the embellishment of the whole picture, and it happens not to let the ink pollute her brilliant cloud skirt...... Of course, to explore the essence of the painting in this way spoils the artistic atmosphere and makes the whole scene boring.
This is the famous folk stunt of the Song Dynasty - Yizhangqing. The female performers who were proficient in this stunt were most favored during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and became the object of courtesy of literati and scholars.
After the dance, Zhao Xing and Hou Meng didn't dare to breathe for a long time, for fear of breaking the atmosphere of the scene. After a long time, Zhao Xing shook his head and said in amazement: "Good kung fu, good stunts, come here, put this painting on the table and hang it in Yangzhou Academy, so that future generations can appreciate it." ”
Hou Meng breathed a sigh of relief.
A zhang blue painting this one. The painting came from Hou Meng's arrangement, what did Lu Yu's martial artist know, he invited Yizhang Qing to dance to Zhao Xing on the spot under Hou Meng's hint.
In the Song Dynasty, the dragon was not as good as in modern times. It is sacred, for example, when the folk of Hangzhou and Yangzhou pray for rain, they dance the grass dragon as a sacrificial ceremony, and the people who do not rain for a long time use the whipping grass dragon to pray for rain. But a zhang of green dedication and a zhang of ink dragon to Zhao Xing, coupled with her previous meaningful dedication, constituted a test, testing Zhao Xing's intentions when he came to Yangzhou this time and made all kinds of outrageous behaviors.
Zhao Xing withstood the test.
Hou Meng's heart was relieved, he. Got up from his seat, prostrate at the feet of Zhao Xing, and bowed vigorously: "Xiaguan Mizhou people, Mizhou was originally poor, since the adults went, they built roads and factories, and sought a way out of the sea for the people of Mizhou. ”
Hou Meng took two steps on his knees and knocked again. Worship: "Xiaguan's worship is to thank the adults on behalf of the people of Yangzhou, and thank the adults on behalf of the people of the world, and thank you for the raids of the Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau, the abolition and change of the salt banknote law, and the abolition of the trade law." ”
Hou Meng took two steps on his knees three times, and thanked him again: "The third bow of the lower official is to thank the scholars of the world, thank you on behalf of Sima Xianggong, and thank you on behalf of my Youyou Great Song!" ”
Zhao Xing got up from his seat and said uneasily. If you can't afford it, you should pay tribute to Dr. Chen Yingzhong. ”
Hou Meng's third argument is Zhao Xing's abolition of the three-rounding law and the temptation to block Cai Jing's re-establishment of the literary prison.
Cai Jing never forgot to crack down on the Yuanyou party members who opposed his teacher and father-in-law, and originally this persecution should have started with Zhao Tingzhi, spread from Huang Tingjian to Su Shi, and then spread to the world. However, due to the appearance of Zhao Xing, there was an accident in history, Zhao Tingzhi was gone, and Cai Jing did not dare to attack Huang Tingjian and others easily, so he turned his target to Sima Guang and Lu Dafang and others. The first move was to destroy the "General Guide to Governance".
Thanks to Dr. Chen Yingzhong of Taixue, this is why we Chinese can read the "Zizhi Tongjian", so that this masterpiece will no longer become a Japanese and Korean essence like most Chinese folk customs and traditions, and our descendants will not have to read this great work of the ancestors of our nation from Japan and Korea.
At that time, Cai Jing's younger brothers Cai, Xue Ang, and Lin Zi were responsible for the destruction of the Zizhi Tongjian and its printing plates. After Chen Yingzhong, a doctor of Taixue, learned the news, he deliberately quoted the preface written by Huizong's father, Song Shenzong, when the Taixue exam was written. This Lin Zi is uneducated, as a native of the Song Dynasty, he is in a high position, and he has not read the greatest work of the Song Dynasty, "Zizhi Tongjian". He didn't know that Emperor Shenzong had really written this preface, so he ran to Chen Ying Zhongxing Shi and asked, "How could Emperor Shenzong write this thing?" ”
Chen Yingzhong asked rhetorically: "Who dares to say that this is fake?" ”
Lin Zi was vague and said, "Even if it's true, it's just an essay written by Emperor Shenzong when he was young." ”
Chen Yingzhong asked again: "Do you mean to say: The learning of the saints of the Son of Heaven is not derived from nature, and there are also juveniles and **?" ”
This time, Lin Zi really lost his temper, and went back to tell Cai quietly. Cai didn't dare to make a move, and secretly ordered Taixue to put the printing plate on the shelf, and never dared to mention the destruction again.
In this way, people today have the opportunity to read this immortal historical masterpiece.
What Hou Meng said about thanking Zhao Xing for Sima Guang was actually here to show obedience and allegiance to Zhao Xing. Because after Cai Jing learned Wang Anshi's three ministries and six provinces, the whole country was surging, and there was no one who could restrain Cai Jing, seeing that the glorious Great Song Dynasty was about to slide into the abyss of disaster, Zhao Xing took action. No matter what the purpose of his attack this time was, as long as Zhao Xing blocked Cai Jing's new law, Hou Meng decided to cooperate with Zhao Xing's action.
Zhao Xing's Xun Xie also stated to Hou Meng that he had no intention of overthrowing this Great Song Dynasty, and he was willing to be a defender of order, so he completely stated Chen Yingzhong's official title, which shows that he still regarded himself as an official of the Great Song Dynasty and did not want to fight against the entire Great Song system, and his purpose in sending troops was just to set things right and return everything to the right path of the Great Song Dynasty.
Hou Meng understood what Zhao Xing meant, and he bowed again: "The whole world is silent, only Taiwei, no, only the minister creates righteousness, what does Taiwei command, Meng should go to the soup and fire." ”
At this time, it was late at night, and there was silence in the palace, Huang Tingjian looked at the little emperor in disappointment, and then looked at Cai Jing. At this time, Cai Jing was at a loss, the little emperor was a little depressed, and after a long time, he asked softly: "Is it irretrievable?"
