Xin Chen Chu will be the prime minister's house

Words are speculative and cheerful

Back in Fuzhou, Lin Hang suddenly fell ill and died, and the imperial court ordered Xin Qiji to act as his agent for the time being.

In March, the imperial court sent Ding Qiaoan to take over as the pacification envoy of Fujian and the governor of Fuzhou, and at the same time removed Xin Qijian from his post of punishment, and ordered him to return to Lin'an and wait for the emperor Zhao Dian to summon him.

This Ding Qiaoan offended Gaozong by seizing Wang Renhuai's moonshine workshop, and Gaozong forced Xiaozong to remove him from office. The Emperor Taishang is so tough, and Xiaozong is helpless. He knew that Ding Qiaoan acted in accordance with the law and was not at fault. Dealing with it like this, he really wronged him, so he asked Zhao Ruyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, to comfort him gently, seal a palace official and let him stay at home. I thought that a year later, I would be appointed as the local supervisor, but where did I think that Ding's father died of illness, so I had to worry about Ding for another three years. After Guangzong ascended the throne, Ding Wei's period expired, and Ding Zeng was Guangzong Gongwang's mansion and belonged to the old ministers, so he was ordered to go to Fujian to serve as the commander. Also coming this time was Yang Yuandao, who served as the governor of Fuzhou.

The king's fate was difficult to disobey, and Xin Qiji had to go north. On the way back to Beijing, he made a detour to Yongkang, Wuzhou, to meet Chen Liang, who was thinking about the moon and the sun.

Chen Liang was born very different from ordinary people, and when he was more than ten years old, he was only good at the great strategy of the king and the interests of the military machine, and he had the ambition to experience the Quartet. He is good at discernment, argumentative, and writes in a thousand words, and has a compelling heroic and bold character. At the age of 18, he examined the success and failure of the ancients in the past dynasties, wrote three articles of "Treatise on the Ancients", and discussed 19 influential figures. At that time, Zhou Kui, the governor of Wuzhou, read this book, appreciated and admired it very much, and praised:

This Chen Tongfu has great ambitions, and he is only eight buckets high, and he is not a thing in the pool, and he will become the pillar of the country one day. and hired as a staff member in the government.

In the first year of Xiaozong's Longxing, Zhou Kui entered Beijing and was promoted to the governor, and learned that Chen Liang was still a cloth cloth, and then hired him as a guest of honor, as an important assistant to the work, and praised it among the Beijing officials. Whenever an official came to do something, Zhou Bi ordered him to visit Chen Liang, so the talented and heroic people in the DPRK and China took the initiative to get acquainted with him, and Chen Liang became famous and impressive.

Speaking of Xin Qiji's acquaintance with Chen Liang, it is quite dramatic. In the first year of Chunxi (1174), Ye Heng had been promoted from the head of the household to the Privy Council, ranking as the ruling party, in June, he was promoted to the governor of the government, and in November, he was promoted to the right prime minister and the privy council envoy. On his recommendation, in the spring of the following year, Xin Qiji went to Beijing to accept the summons of Emperor Xiaozong and served as the official of Cangbu.

On that day, the New Year was approaching, and the family brought some local products from the lead mountain, Xin Qijian went to Yefu to visit, and the two were drinking tea and talking.

Suddenly, the housekeeper reported: Wuzhou Chen Tongfu asked to see.

After a while, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a Dongpo scarf and a white robe walking briskly, bowing and saluting, clasping his fists, and greeting loudly: "Prime Minister Ye Cheng is well recently, and Chen Tongfu, who is late, is visiting and asking for peace."

Ye Heng smiled and waved his hand, "Tongfu, you and I have known each other for many years, so there is no need to be so polite," pulling Xin Qiji, "Come, I will introduce you to a hero, this is Xin Qiji, the official of the Cangbu Lang." ”

When Chen Liang heard this, he hurriedly saluted Xin Qi, "Oh, Brother You'an, your name, and the deeds of killing the enemy, Tongfu has long been like thunder, and I am very fortunate to see it today." ”

Xin Qiji also responded: Xin has also heard of the name of Brother Tongfu, and he knows a little about the masterpieces such as "The Ancient Treatise", "Yinghao Lu" and "Zhongxing Five Treatises", but unfortunately he has not seen the full text.

All of them are shallow works, if Brother You'an is interested, Chen will definitely present it.

If you are longing, you must read it carefully.

The three of them had a lively conversation.

Xin Qiji has a very good opinion on the phenomenon of the DPRK and China saying too much but not doing it. Over the years, such an atmosphere has been cultivated in the temples of this dynasty, reflecting the talent and value of a certain minister, mainly depending on the level of theoretical attainment. Just sit and talk about it, and don't do practical things, how strong the country is.

Chen Liang attacked the atmosphere of luxury and pleasure in officialdom. In officialdom, officials not only compete for whose articles are better written, but also to see who is richer and more romantic. Dignitaries and wealthy businessmen have private entertainment teams in their homes, including courtesans who sing songs, dancing maiko and dramatists, and storytellers; Some officials and wealthy merchants were very good at enjoying it, having maids and servants when they ate, and courtesans when they drank; The family has three wives and four concubines, raises a group of singing and dancing girls, and goes to the brothel of the song house from time to time to entertain and entertain. "Just this group of drunken dreamers and dissolute skeletons, they can complete the great cause of restoring the Central Plains, and the ghosts don't believe it."

Ye Heng asked with a smile, Tongfu, who are you talking about?

It is said that Xin Qiji was idle in the lead mountain, and there were also groups of concubines, at most six concubines, eleven courtesans, and thirty-six maiko.

Xin Qiji laughed at himself and said that he just went with the flow and acted on the spot.

In fact, there is another reason why Xin Qiji is so drunk. He stepped down from the post of pacification envoy, and it was clear that someone had impeached him for being violent and greedy, but the actual reason was that he was a reformer, and he was not at ease because of his great power, so he had to show that he was greedy for money and lustful, otherwise, if he was worried about the country and the people, and he was not greedy for pleasure or following the crowd, people would suspect that he had other intentions.

Chen Liang said that Brother You'an was a little bit of a hero's uselessness. Such courageous and resourceful people are a different matter.

Ye Xin and the others love what is in the cup, and Chen Liang's wine consumption is not lost. The three of them asked for wine and talked about the country.

During the banquet, Chen Liang generously stated: My China is the righteousness of heaven and earth, the bell of the mandate of heaven, the meeting of the people's hearts, the essence of clothing and etiquette, the reason why hundreds of generations of emperors have inherited, but now, it is broken by the Yidijin people, the monarchs and the people are in a corner of peace, but there is no idea of recovery, one day of peace, a hundred years of catastrophe, if it goes on, it will be destroyed!

Xin Qiji's case applauded, Tongfu's words were extremely true, the dignified Chixian Kyushu, the descendants of Yan and Huang, how could they let Yi Di arbitrarily broadcast the instructions! However, what is the best plan for today's affairs?

Chen has never liked to sit and talk about Taoism, and has been exploring the study of saving the country and applying it to the world for many years. First of all, it is necessary to advocate righteousness and abandon the peace treaty, Mencius said: "Born in sorrow, die in peace." "Suffering and sorrow are the source of rejuvenating the country and securing the country, breaking the situation of peace and keeping the country tense and energetic.

The way of civil and martial arts, one gallop. Pay equal attention to the two phases, and do not neglect them. In order to restore the country in shame, it is necessary to rectify the army, strengthen training, command the army with martial people, consolidate the border defense, and work together to raise the army for the Northern Expedition.

Infected by Chen Liang, Xin Qiji was suddenly full of interest.

Ye Heng stroked his gray beard and laughed, the two heroes said from the bottom of their hearts, and the old man would play the right thing to the emperor tomorrow.

The atmosphere was very warm, and they all got drunk.

After Xin Chen and the two met, they introduced each other as confidants and kept writing letters.
