Before Zhang could speak, Cai Jing hurriedly interjected: "Brother Wengu, to tell you the truth: there are flaws in several decrees left by Wang Jinggong, and the most difficult one is the "Horse Protection Law". Now that we have a new law, there must be a lot of people who oppose it, and the only example we have is Michigan. People say that the horse protection law is an evil law, and He Dumi Prefecture practiced this law, so that the people were happy to follow it - Zhao Liren, within a year, the people raised tens of thousands of horses without realizing their suffering.

It can be seen that laws and regulations still need people to enforce them, and as long as the people who implement them are talented, even the "Baoma Law" is not a bad law.

However, Mizhou alone can't explain anything, and we still need to follow more examples to let hundreds of officials in the world know that Wang Jinggong's previous laws were not evil laws, but were not done by the people who implemented them, and they harmed the new law. Therefore, we must use Zhao Liren. For this reason, even if he is protective of the teacher, we need to endure it, because we need Zhao Liren's knife to eradicate the opponents. Brother Wenguxian, it is we who need Zhao Liren, not Zhao Liren who needs us. So we must be patient with Him, patient, patient again! ”

Cai Jing is a man of culture and a poet who pursues perfection. He is here to help Zhao Xing speak, not out of the overall situation of "for the country and the people". The reasons he said were all made up, and there was an important flaw in the meantime: Zhao Xing was a member of the old party and a member of the Shu party, and people would not attribute the achievements of such a person to the achievements of the new party.

What's more, the laws and regulations implemented by Zhao Xing have long been changed by him to be specious, and many commercial factors have been mixed in to replace the government's administrative actions. In this way, the new law is implemented, and people can only say that the new law still needs to be improved.

But Cai Jing didn't care about this, what he wanted in his heart was to let Zhao Xing have a happy ending with his relationship. When he was like a rat crossing the street and everyone shouted and beat him, Zhao Xing dared to hang his handwriting "Jasmine" at home; When he was transferred from Yangzhou to Chengdu, none of the officials dared to see him off, but Zhao Xing, who was in the same stream with him in Yangzhou, dared not be afraid of criticism, ceremoniously saw him off, and arranged for people of the same clan to escort him to his post along the way.

In order to draw a perfect end to this personal friendship, Cai Jing needs to help Zhao Xing. He wanted to tell Zhang: It is we who need Zhao Liren. It's not that Zhao Liren needs us!

Zhang originally wooed Zhao Xing out of personal friendship, but Zhang is a hard-hearted person, just now Zhao Xing's refusal made him unhappy, at that time, his head was spinning around how to clean up Zhao Xing, Cai Jing's words fooled him, he pondered, yes, it turned out that Zhao Xing existed. And so many more. Why didn't I think of that?!

That's right, now that the restoration of the Qingmiao Law and the Exemption Law is proposed, the old ministers in the court have not been completely emptied, and in people's minds, they still remember the thousands of miles of displaced people caused by Wang Anshi's reforms, but there is an example of Zhao Xing, which is not just a response to the accusations of the old party: it is not the new law that will not work. It was you old party officials who deliberately did bad things in execution. Look at Mizhou, look at Yangzhou. When the new law was implemented in these places, how did the people not be displaced, but became richer and richer...... Since you can't, I'm going to replace them – that's just a pretext for a mass purge.

Reasonable! Cai Jing is talking too much.

Zhang thought about it clearly, and hurriedly pulled Cai Jing over and discussed with his son where to arrange for Zhao Xing to go. As for Zhang Yuan's proposal to do what to do if Zhao Xing goes to the local government and does not implement the new law, he is not afraid, under the heavy pressure of the old party. Zhao Xing dared to secretly implement the new law of variants. Give him a chance now...... Just send him another competent watchman, and he will be able to do it all.

Three days later. Emperor Zhao Xu summoned Zhao Xing to play right. The little emperor still asked about the condition of Teacher Zhao Xing with concern, and said that he had specially arranged for Su Shi to go to Huizhou to settle down, and kindly asked Zhao Xing to tell Su Shi, and after two or three years, he would definitely recall his former teacher - Su Shi had been Zhao Xu's teacher.

Zhao Xing's attitude in the main hall today is the same as yesterday in the Zhangfu, most of the time his expression is indifferent, the emperor asked, he used the shortest words, can save the province to answer, finally, the little emperor asked Zhao Xing about his future plans: "The official title of Chuzhou Zhizhou is small, I am not a mean person, and meritorious service will be rewarded." Zhao Qing has made outstanding achievements in local politics in recent years, and his performance has been excellent, and I have decided to reward him generously, whether Zhao Qing intends to stay in the capital or shepherd the side. ”

Zhao Xing knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "Huangzhou wine prisoner, I am willing to go to Huizhou." "What Zhao Xing meant when he spoke: I made a bet with the teacher in Huangzhou, a bet on poetry and wine, and I lost myself. I can't bear to let the teacher live in hell and be happy, so I am willing to go to Huizhou, even if I don't want to be an official, even if I am "placed in Huizhou" together.

The little emperor didn't like to hear this, his face was gloomy, and after a long time, Fang said slowly: "I still remember the scene of Zhao Qing Jinshi and the first day, I nested in the deep palace, and I was not free for a long time. That day, the Qingtang Rebellion came, and the ministers were in a mess, and I was able to wander through the palace for a while, and I happened to walk into the Ministry of Rites and saw you practicing etiquette. You stand out the most among them.

I remember asking you that day: You are big, can you be literate and martial? Now it seems that I was not wrong about you. You said you were big and could see far, but there was a fog ahead, and now that the fog has cleared, can you see clearly? ”

Zhao Xing continued to kowtow, and the answer was still eight words: "Huangzhou wine prisoner, willing to go to Huizhou." ”

Zhezong was silent for a moment, waved his hand and ordered the left and right to retreat, and Hanlin, who was accompanying him, refused, because they wanted to record the emperor and his subordinates, and the little emperor was angry: "I want to talk to Zhao Qing about some family matters, what are you making noise here?" ”

Housekeeping?! This word scared several new Hanlin out of a cold sweat, they wiped their sweat and exited the hall in fear, and when they were gone, Zhezong asked softly: "Is Lezhi okay?" ”

Zhao Xing shook his head and replied respectfully: "The minister has been in Huanqing for the past two years, and he has no news from the outside world, so he doesn't know the situation. ”

Little Emperor Zhao Xu nodded and continued: "I heard that Zhao Qing has been running around for the past two years, and he has rarely even spent time at home, so he can be described as the most diligent magistrate. But you went to Huanqing, and there was less news about Lezhi. Since you're going to Huizhou, go there. I will promise you Guangnan East Road, and you can help me ask about the situation of Lezhi by the way. ”

The little emperor grew up in the deep palace, it is rare for a few eldest sisters to be cordial with him, as soon as the old lady Empress Dowager Gao died, he was lonely and thought of his brothers and sisters, and by the way, he also remembered that the eldest sister who had no name and married alone and far away, of course, by the way, also missed the gifts that the eldest sister sent every year.

Zhao Xing got up. After thanking the emperor, he silently retired. Out of the palace gate, he looked up at the sky, was stunned for a while, and greeted Ma Mengde and Wan Qiyong, who were waiting outside the palace: "Where does that Taixue Doctor Li Gefei's family live, I will visit his house." ”

Ma Mengde replied: "Not long ago, the imperial court established a new organization, planning to recompile the chapter of the Yuanyou period, and appointed Li Taixue as a review, I heard that Li Taixue resigned. is preparing to go to the Guangxin Army to make a general judgment. ”

Zhao Xing gritted his back molars and asked viciously: "I haven't left Beijing yet, go to his house, I'll call him to go down to Lingnan with me." ”

Ma Mengde shook his head: "Leaving people, Lingnan is a bad land, I'm afraid he won't go." ”

"The Guangxin Army is on the edge of Dingzhou, and I have seen the situation in Dingzhou. Therefore, the Guangxin Army is not a good place. And no matter how big an official is, I will prescribe conditions that he can't refuse. Zhao Xing's expression was a little hideous. Wan Qiyong looked at Zhao Xing's arms. Curiously asked: "What is the new dispatch that the adults have taken, could it be that the adults have taken the Guangnan East Road?" ”

Zhao Xing took out the official body document from his arms and replied: "Guangnan East Road is under the jurisdiction of soldiers and horses, and the road is also a strategy and a pacification envoy; Jiangnan Deputy Envoy and Du Da mentioned the matter of casting money on Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road. ”

Zhao Xing's latter official position was subordinate to the "Tidian Pit Management Coin Division", which was specialized in minting coins.

In the Song Dynasty, there were two original coinage divisions, among which the "Jiangnan Transit Deputy Envoy and the Capital Da Tidian and Qianzhou Tidian Division" were in charge of Jiangnan West Road, Jinghu South Road, Jinghu North Road, Guangnan East Road, and Guangnan West Road. And Guangnan East and West Road, Huizhou alone has Fumin Qianjian, Youping, Liukeng Eryinchang, Yongji, Xinshang, Yongan Sanxi Field. and a large number of iron yards and other mines. This time, the imperial court added Zhao Xing, the "deputy envoy of Jiangnan Transport". The Guangnan and Guangxi money supervisors were listed separately for management, in order to use Zhao Xing's "gold hand" to help the imperial court increase the amount of coinage and ore production in the two places.

This official office is a new official office. Zhao Xing chose all the administrative offices, and the opening expenses of the yamen were reimbursed......

This official position was originally intended by Zhang to be given to Zhao Xing, because this official position was not in charge of civil affairs, but just a person who helped the court count money. But after Zhang listened to Cai Jing's words, he decided to let Zhao Xing take charge of civil affairs, and it was best to serve as the official position of "Guangnan East Road Transfer Envoy". Unfortunately, Fu Caiyuan, the current Guangnan East Road transfer envoy, is still doing a good job, and he is very close to the New Party, and Zhang couldn't think of a reason for the dismissal for a while, so he added the official title of "Guangnan East Road Transit Strategy and Pacification Envoy".

The little emperor felt that Zhao Xing wanted to contact Jiaozhi, plus the delivery of coins, there were no soldiers and horses in his hands, and he added an official position of "Soldiers and Horses", which was the official rank of Wupin military general, so that Zhao Xingdi's new official title was completely consistent with Guo Kui's attack on Jiaozhi.

Guangnan East Road belongs to the scope of "finger shooting", which means that Zhao Xing can appoint local governors and counties at will, while the title of other soldiers and horses means that he can even appoint military attaches below the seventh rank at will - the county lieutenant is only the ninth rank. Jiangnan Deputy Envoy and Capital Da Tiao, can justifiably extend his hand into Guangxi.

This time, Zhao Xing, the envoy of the Economic Strategy, was an official first-level road official, Wan Qiyong looked happy, his attention was still entangled in the details, and he asked tightly: "My lord, what else?" Have the other Jilu officials been exempted, and this time the scripture strategy is the third grade or the second grade? ”

Ma Mengde shook his head lightly and persuaded: "Leave people, although you go to the place where you finger shoot, you can give Li Gefei the title of Zhizhou, but that place is poor and bad, I am afraid he is not willing to go." ”

Zhao Xing smiled viciously: "This time I am the fourth-grade scripture of the land where I am shooting, and I have been promoted by a grade this time: from the fourth grade to the fourth grade, and the titles are all there." Now I need Li Gefei, this time I must pry Zhao Mingcheng into a corner...... His father Zhao Tingzhi is shameless, and he doesn't pry him into this corner. I can't get out of my bad breath. Wan Qiyong asked curiously: "Who is Zhao Mingcheng?" ”

"Silence", Ma Mengde replied in a low voice: "Zhao Tingzhi is in the limelight, don't mention this name in front of the palace...... Zhao Mingcheng is Zhao Tingzhi's son, but I remember that son has not finished school. What does Li Gefei have to do with Zhao Mingcheng? ”

Zhao Xing didn't say anything about being killed, as soon as he arrived at Li Gefei's house, he split his head and asked: "Your daughter Li Qingzhao hasn't decided to marry yet?" ”

Li Gefei was stunned, he nodded subconsciously and replied: "The little girl is only a few years old, how can she be married, but Yushi Zhao Tingzhi has discussed marriage with me, but the matter has not been decided yet." is alone in the capital, and he can't get the dowry of his daughter. So this thing ......"

"That's good", Zhao Xingchang let out a sigh, took out his official body document for Li Gefei to read, and then asked: "Liu Zhi, Su Zhe, Liang Tao, and my teachers Su Shi, Fan Zuyu, Liu Anshi, Su Zhe...... The so-called sages in the world, so the old Yuanfu, attendants, and ministers of Taiwan Province are covered with mountains and seas in one day, and they have not been heard of since the Song Dynasty! Such a beautiful scene, would you like to go together? ”

Zhao Xing said. Not to mention that Li Gefei on the other side couldn't sit still, even Wan Qiyong, who felt a little frustrated after listening to it just now, suddenly felt a tragic atmosphere surging into his heart, he couldn't sit still, Li Gefei couldn't sit still, he avoided the table and replied: "Dare not obey your fate!" ”

Zhao Xing seemed to be afraid that he would regret it, so he hurriedly confirmed: "I'll go to the Ministry of Officials to get Brother Li's official body." Brother Li cleaned up. How about leaving tomorrow? ”

Li Gefei turned to look at his homeland and waved his hand in a chic manner: "Follow Zhao Liren." I'm not afraid of not having a house. I asked Brother Zhengqing (Ma Mengde) to help me deal with this little family business, but I had to ask Brother Ma to help me transport some gold and stones to Lingnan. ”

Running away with the transport tycoon, this is the only benefit - never afraid of moving. Li Gefei first thought that when he went to Lingnan, he could talk about poetry and poetry with those great gods, Pang Pang, and giant giants every day, how could he be so leisurely these days?

Second, Zhao Liren can have a fight with Cai Jing in pursuit of enjoyment, and he goes with Zhao Xing, and he is afraid that he will treat himself badly. So Li Gefei did not hesitate. He wrote several letters overnight. I informed my friends and relatives one by one, and the next day I got on the boat. Go to Hangzhou first and wait for Zhao Xing.

Out of Li Gefei's gate, Zhao Xing's smile looked fierce, this kind of smile Wan Qiyong had ever seen, whenever Zhao Xing calculated that others had succeeded, there was always such a smile on his face that was a little honest, a little silly, a little proud, and a little expectant. That kind of expression blended with words together into an extremely human smile, as soon as I saw this smile, Wan Qiyong knew that someone was going to be unlucky.

"Go to Li Zhiyi's house!" Zhao Xing continued to search for his followers on his target list. This time, he didn't ask for a large number, only for trustworthiness.

After a while, Li Zhiyi, plus Liao Zhengyi, who was one of the "Four Scholars after Sumen" alongside Li Gefei, also agreed to go to Lingnan. As soon as Zhao Xing waited for them to agree, he immediately went to the ministry to report, and asked the officials of the ministry to fill in the blank "Zhizhou Official Body Letter...... Well, the officials are now in power as a "happy business" person.

After sending these people to Hangzhou to wait first, Zhao Xing continued to stay in the capital—this was also Zhang's request. Zhang wanted to leave time for Cheng Zhengfu to kill Su Shi, so under the banner of reward, Zhao Xing was allowed to go home and rest for half a year to reward him for his exploits in fighting outside for two years.

Wan Qiyong hasn't been home for two years, and Zhao Xing also plans to go home for a while. He knew that the news that he would serve as the envoy of Guangnan East Road would immediately spread throughout Guangnan East Road, and in this case, it was expected that everyone would dare to provoke Su Shi easily. Therefore, in order to reassure Zhang, he sent a message to Hangzhou to let Su Shi leave in advance, and he pretended to play around the capital leisurely, and feasted on guests, making a lot of money, showing that he was not in a hurry to go to Guangnan.

After Zhao Xing's new official position was determined, the first person to come to the door was Cai Jing, who came to renew his friendship, and Zhao Xing settled the "creative design money" owed to Cai Jing in the past two years. In the two years since the breakup, Zhao Xing's name - no, it should be the jewelry store under the name of Hu Ji Kasli has become bigger and bigger, thanks to Cai Jing's design book, Cai Jing, who settled the design model, was still unsatisfied, and put this money into the Kasli jewelry store...... As a result, Zhao Xing and Cai Jing joined hands again and became business partners.

Then, Zhao Xing feasted in the capital repeatedly, and his performance during this period of time made many people unpredictable. This famous Shu Party money bag is Zhang's guest, and he has a very close relationship with Zhang's family, and can even go straight into Zhang's backyard through the hall, and he can also hook up with Cai Jing and whisper. But at the same time, the old party has a good relationship with Zhao Xing, and the remnants of the old party in the capital can always find wine to drink from Zhao Xing, but Zhao Xing always doesn't say a word about their drunken complaints and entrustment, and even has this attitude towards his two senior brothers, Huang Tingjian and Qin Guan.

At the beginning of June, Qin Guan's order to be degraded was officially down, and he entrusted his family to Zhao Xing and left Beijing. At the same time, Zhang Lei, in the Zhilong Tuge Zhirunzhou (now Zhenjiang), migrated to Xuanzhou (now Xuancheng). Zhao Xing also went south.

In the same month, Fan Chun was dismissed from his post as a border marshal and sent to "Zhi Dengzhou" on the charge of "proposing to exchange land for peace in the early years of the Yuan Dynasty". Zhang and Fan were guilty of the same crime and were demoted to Guangzhou Zhizhou. At this point, the Xixia people hated the six heroes of the Huanqing victory, which were solved one by one by the Song court through the party dispute, and the Xixia people were overjoyed when they heard the news, and they congratulated each other with wine overnight, and they were moved to praise the gentlemanly demeanor of the ministers of the Song Dynasty, and shouted: "Whoever dares to resist our Western Xia soldiers, we are not afraid, the ministers of the Song Dynasty will clean up their ...... for us."

After drinking and drinking, they solemnly agreed to invade the Song State again next year, and at the same time, the morale of the soldiers on the front line of Huanqing fell sharply when they heard the news......

Later, Zhang promoted Cai Bian, Lin Xi, Huang Lu, Lai Zhishao, Zhou Xia, Zhai Si, Shangguan Jun and others to important positions and began to implement the new policy. The main content of the reform is that no one will be spared of anyone who has offended them, and even the dead will bring disaster to their wives and children. Sima Guang and Lü Gongzhu were dead, and Zhezong decided to dig up their graves, split the coffins, and raise the bones of the corpses. The imperial historian Xu will say to Zhezong: "Sending a mound to cut the coffin is probably not a matter of virtue." Zhezong then decided to stop digging graves.

couldn't dig the grave, in order to help the little emperor in the period of youth rebellion vent his anger, Zhang came up with an idea and decided to deprive the descendants of Sima Guang and others. Zeng Bu persuaded Zhang and Cai Bian on this issue, saying: "Pursue the grace case, this case cannot be opened. If one day this punishment is inflicted on us, our children will also be harmed. ”

But Zhang said: "They are already dead, even the whipping of the corpse will not help, only let them bring disaster to their descendants, so that they will not dare to oppose us." ”

Zhezong finally did not adopt Zeng Bu's opinion and decided to deprive the imperial court of favor to the descendants of Sima Guang and others.

At this point, the politics of the Great Song Dynasty gentlemen ended.
