Chapter 139 Longxing is a good scenery
The scenery of Tengwang Pavilion is unique
Thieves and armies compete for profit
After arriving in Longxing Mansion (now Nanchang, Jiangxi), Fan Zuliang quickly fell in love with this place. This is the government of Jiangnan West Road, called Hongzhou in the past, because Xiaozong's own father Xiu'an Wang Zhao Ziyan was an official here, and Longxing was upgraded to a government in the second year.
Here, there are two places that he will never want to return, one is Tengwang Pavilion, and the other is Longgang Academy.
Tengwang Pavilion and Yellow Crane Tower, Yueyang Tower and called "the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River". In the third year of Tang Yonghui (652 AD), Li Yuanying moved from Suzhou to the governor of Hongzhou, brought a group of kabuki from Suzhou, and feasted on singing and dancing in the governor's mansion all day long. Later, this pavilion was built near the river as a separate residence, and it was actually a place of singing and dancing. This Li Yuanying is the youngest son of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, during the Zhenguan period, he was sealed in Tengzhou, Shandong, so he was the king of Teng, and built a loft in Tengzhou named "Tengwang Pavilion", transferred to Jiangnan? Later, build a mansion again, and still name "Tengwang Pavilion".
Tengwang Pavilion is regarded by the locals as an auspicious feng shui building, and there is an ancient ballad: "The vine is broken and the gourd is cut, and the tower is broken and the Yu chapter is broken". "Teng" harmonizes with "Teng", referring to Tengwang Pavilion; "Gourd" is a hidden treasure; "Tower", refers to the rope gold pagoda; "圮", the meaning of collapse; "Yuzhang" is also Nanchang. The meaning of this ancient song is that if the Tengwang Pavilion and the Shengjin Pagoda collapse, the talents and treasures in Yuzhang City will be lost, and the city will also fall and no longer prosper. In ancient customs, the place where the population lived needed feng shui architecture, which was generally the highest local landmark building, gathering the aura of heaven and earth, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, commonly known as "Wenbi Peak". Tengwang Pavilion is located on the shore of Ganshui, known as "water pen", the ancients Yiyun: "Seeking wealth and longevity palace, seeking blessing Tengwang Pavilion".
After many wars, the Tengwang Pavilion has been repaired six times, and the building regulations have also changed a lot. In the second year of Shangyuan (675), Yan Gong, the governor of Hongzhou, rebuilt this pavilion, and Wang Bo wrote the "Autumn Denghong Mansion Tengwang Pavilion Farewell Preface"; In the sixth year of Zhenyuan (790) and the fifteenth year of Yuanhe (820), Wang Zhongshu and Hongdu observed that Wang Zhongshu rebuilt twice, and Han Yu made "Rebuild the Pavilion of King Teng" for it. In the summer of the second year of Xuanzong Dazhong (848), the Tengwang Pavilion was destroyed by fire, and the Jiangxi Observation Envoy Su Gan rebuilt it on the original site the next day, and completed it in August of the same year.
In the second year of Daguan of this dynasty (1108), Fan Tan, the prefect of Hongzhou, rebuilt the Tengwang Pavilion, and the prime minister Fan Zhixu made the "Rebuilding the Tengwang Pavilion" and said: the pavilion "Chong 30 has 8 feet, the old base is 40 feet, and the height is increased by one-tenth. The north and south are thought to be the city because of the city, and the two pavilions are sandwiched: the south traces the majesty of the river and says that the river is pressed, and the north is good at the beauty of the west mountain. ”
In addition to official duties, climb the Tengwang Pavilion, look around, go up and out of the sky, down to the ground, under the long sky, not all the mighty flow of the Ganjiang River, can not help but chant out the ancient famous sentence of "Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water is the same color of the sky".
Longgang Academy was a little far from his residence. At the foot of Longgang Mountain in the northwest corner of Jiancheng County, it belongs to Yuanzhou. Although the scale is not large, it gathers several famous scholars, such as Li Tianfu, who is in the same department as his father. This is the world of scholars, and there are many and complete subsets of scriptures and histories, and, as long as you have insight, you can sit on an equal footing with these old gentlemen and talk without scruples.
Although Fan Zuliang is far away from his hometown and alone, his life is busy and fulfilling.
The ground was thundering, and an unexpected incident disrupted his elegant and leisurely pace.
There was an army of 5,000 people in Longxing Prefecture, and suddenly dozens of soldiers gathered to fight, killing eight people and wounding 23 people on the spot.
Originally, Li Shizhang was appointed to sign the Privy Council, and he had the hope of being promoted to participate in politics, but he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted when he saw Zhang Yan, Cheng Song, Su Shicheng and others jumping up and down, competing for merit and favor in front of Taishi and Pingyuan County King. Out of sight, out of mind, and gone.
The scale is so large and the impact is so bad that it shocks the government and the public. The government affairs hall ordered a serious investigation and punishment.
Zhao Kuo appointed him as a scholar of Tianzhang Pavilion, a pacification envoy of Jiangxi, and a governor of Zhilongxingfu. When he arrived in Jiangxi, his hometown was in Wenzhou, eastern Zhejiang, and some time ago, his eldest brother was sick, so he returned to his hometown to visit.
Hearing the news, he hurried back from his home and convened relevant personnel to discuss. When I went to the lobby of the government, I was angry. Uncle Huang Wen was sentenced to be sick at home, Niu signed a sentence for business trips, Zhang Jinhu, the Marquis of Xiangjun went out, Song transferred the envoy back to Beijing to report on his work, and Fang was sentenced to supervise the case in the county, and none of the five senior officials came. Chen Tiju is here, the old dragon bell, a listless look, the military by the Ma Army's deputy soldier Li Xiang, the deputy head of the infantry Wang Jian, participated, because the matter was caused by their soldiers, all lowered their heads and looked cute, only the commander signed Fan Zuliang and Longxing Jiedu judge Shi Jun, who looked more capable.
I thought to myself, everyone has a reason not to come, how can they discuss? He then ordered: The scale of the matter and the inferiority of the impact shocked the government and the public. The government affairs hall ordered a serious investigation and punishment. We can't take it lightly.
Judge Fan is asked to clarify the cause of the incident and give a preliminary opinion, and the judge is responsible for comforting the family of the deceased and treating the wounded, and Deputy Li and Deputy Wang will fully cooperate.
It's not complicated. The Xiang Army is a local army, called the Standing Army, which is actually a miscellaneous soldier in various state capitals. These soldiers were never trained in peacetime, the horse army was responsible for law and order, and the infantry army was mainly engaged in various forms of labor. In recent years, the society of Longxing has been peaceful, there is no major turmoil, there are no major projects such as repairing the city and digging the river, thousands of people have nothing to do, and the military is not issued in time, the soldiers all work privately to earn money, and a considerable number of people go to business, and there are also bodyguards for others.
There are two kinds of people in the Xiang army, one is the prisoner who is stabbed to the house to serve as a foot soldier to serve as a servant envoy, which is called "matching army"; The other is selected from the forbidden army to be demoted to the box army, which is called "falling into the box".
There is a man named Zhou Dapeng in the army, who is five big and three thick, with a big head, known as a big head, and he was sent here because he was seriously injured in a fight at home. In the past two years, he has taken refuge in a deputy general named Yao Sibing, and more than 40 people have gathered around him to transport goods.
There is a Shi Xiaodiao in the box, nicknamed Shi Xiaodiao, not big, but some kung fu, very flexible fists and feet, this person is insidious and cunning, and is the right-hand man of Ma Jun Jia Yuhou. He organized a convoy of fifty or sixty people to transport Longxing to more than a dozen prefectures and counties in the south.
This year, there was a bumper rice harvest in some prefectures and counties in Jiangxi, and a grain dealer named Wang Youcai bought a lot of rice and prepared to ship it to northern Fujian. First planned to charter a boat by Zhou Datou to take the waterway, and after Shi Xiaodiao learned about it, he found the surname Wang and wanted to go by land at a lower price. The greedy surnamed Wang changed his mind.
In this way, the two gangs of Zhou and Shi quarreled first, and then started to fight, so that the corpses were all over the field. Zhou and Shi did not die, but were injured.
The facts are clear, the evidence is there, Li Dashuai did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: Wang, Zhou, and Shi were immediately arrested, and Deputy General Yao and Jia Yuhou were suspended pending investigation.
