Chapter 21: On the Water Side
"You Nizi, beg for a beating!"
When Huang Jiaoniang heard Lan'er's words, her jade face suddenly turned red, and she twisted her body and slapped Lan'er's little buttocks, which already had a bit of style, making a crisp sound.
"Ahh Lan'er, who was snickering, didn't expect her young lady to give herself a surprise attack, and her buttocks were suddenly attacked, and she let out a moan with a little panic and three points of enjoyment.
"You girl, it's really spring, when I see Jia Daguan, I'll make the decision to promise you to him. He's going to love you well. Hearing Lan'er's moaning sound that was deliberately pretended, Huang Jiao Niangyu, who was still a clear person, was even more red on her face, and threatened.
For example, Lan'er and Xiangyun can be the personal maids of Huang Jiaoniang, as early as a few years old, they were bought into the Qinglou by the bustard to serve the Huang Jiaoniang who was cultivated as the top brand.
What's more, although the three of them are called master and servant, they are actually more like sisters when they grow up together.
"Miss, Lan'er knows that she is wrong, and begs Miss not to give Lan'er to Najia officials. Qiao Gongzi ransomed the young lady, and Lan'er accompanied the young lady...... Yikes! ”
Speaking of this, Lan'er let out a low cry, and covered her little mouth with her hand delicately, looking embarrassed.
"Yo, it turns out that you, this little girl, have a spring heart and fall in love with Qiao Gongzi, when Qiao Gongzi comes another day, I will ask Qiao Gongzi, if Qiao Gongzi is also interested, I will make the decision to let you follow Qiao Gongzi, okay?"
Huang Jiaoniang hooked the chin of Lan'er, who hung her head and was embarrassed, winked and smiled.
The Qiao Gongzi in Lan'er's mouth is the grandson of Qiao Xingjian, the current Prime Minister of Zuo, Qiao Yu.
The civil servants of the Great Song Dynasty had great power, and general political affairs were handled by the two prime ministers on the left and right. Not long after Zheng Qingzhi was completely squeezed out of the position of Prime Minister Zuo after the failure of raising troops into Luo four years ago, Qiao Xingjian, who was already participating in political affairs, sat in the position of Prime Minister Zuo as he wished, and this sitting was three years.
In addition to the left prime minister Qiao Xingjian, Zhao Yun also worshiped Cui He, who has always been known for his Qing name, as the right prime minister. But for some reason, although the right prime minister Cui He has the name of prime minister, he has never really fulfilled the duties of the right prime minister in the past three years, and has been resolutely resigning in the letter.
At that time, Cui He, who was the pacification envoy of Guangdong Economic Strategy and the governor of Guangzhou, insisted on not being the right prime minister, Cui He was a bar head, and Zhao Yun was also a bar head, but he was on a bar with Cui He, and he always insisted on worshipping but not taking back the edict.
In this way, one wants to pay homage to the prime minister, the other wants to thank him, and the delay is three years. So much so that in the past three years, although the Great Song Dynasty has nominally been in charge of the left and right prime ministers, in fact, because Cui He has not taken office, the real ruler is actually the left prime minister Qiao Xingjian.
Zheng Qingzhi was specially promoted to the left prime minister a year ago, but the word "special entry" has clearly shown that the symbolic meaning of his left prime minister is far greater than the actual power.
Qiao Yu is nineteen years old this year and is the son of Qiao Xingjian's second son, Qiao Xingdu. He is also one of the Jinshi of the Wuxu Branch, but Qiao Yu is not a first-class, but a second-class. But he is the youngest jinshi among the first, second, and third class jinshi of the Wuxu Branch. For this reason alone, his second-class jinshi seems to have a more famous reputation than the first-class jinshi.
It stands to reason that Qiao Yu will inevitably participate in this Seyuan poetry meeting.
However, after the defeat in the battle of raising troops into Luo, Zheng Qingzhi and Qiao Xingjian have completely changed from being in harmony to parting ways.
Qiao Xingjian, together with a large number of literati ministers of the Cheng Zhu Lixue faction, has been liquidating the Siming Party left by Shi Miyuan (Siming is Yin, and the Siming in general is Ningbo, Zhejiang).
In the Song Dynasty, with the development of the south, the Siming culture became more and more prosperous, and since the royal family of the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, the Siming generation was even more talented, and gradually occupied the center of the political stage of the Great Song Dynasty, and Shi Miyuan was the representative of the Siming faction.
When the wheel of history traveled to the south of the Great Song Dynasty, the four dynasties of Gaozong, Xiaozong, Guangzong and Ningzong roughly belonged to the middle and early Southern Song Dynasty, and the three dynasties of Lizong, Duzong and Gongzong were the end of the Great Song Dynasty.
In the decades at the end of the Great Song Dynasty, the evolution of the political pattern of the imperial court can be summarized into three stages: "Non-Yin Zewu", "Xiao Yuanyou", and "Fuhua Edition".
"Non-Yin then Wu" is the period when the Yin (Siming) people and the Wu people (later Jinhua, Zhejiang) jointly ruled the period; "Xiao Yuanyou" refers to the period when Zhu Xue's "Zhengren" played an important role in the imperial court; The most lull "Fuhua Edition" refers to the period when Jia Rudao was in charge in the original history.
Today's Prime Minister Qiao Xingjian is a Wu person.
Li Zong grew up and lived in the era of the Siming faction, his life experience and imperial power were deeply marked by the Siming, Zhao Yun was able to enter the throne as a commoner of the Zhao royal family, and he had a great relationship with the special circumstances of the Siming. The Siming people had the skills of knowing, nurturing and caring for Zhao Yun of Song Lizong, so when Shi Miyuan was still alive, it was the heyday of the Siming faction.
When Shi Miyuan was alive, he attacked Cheng Zhu Lixue and united the Wu people to jointly govern, and after his death, Zheng Qingzhi was worshiped as the left prime minister as the emperor.
As for Qiao Xingjian, when Zhao Yun entered Lin'an City and was named the crown prince, he was Zhan Shi, the prince of the East Palace, and he was also Zhao Yun's teacher.
In order to maintain stability within the imperial court, Zheng Qingzhi advocated uniting with the Cheng Zhuxue faction, which was degraded by Shi Miyuan, which in fact had become more and more distant from the Siming faction.
When Zheng Qingzhi was desperately trying to maintain the stability of the imperial court, because Zheng Qingzhi returned to the power center of the Great Song Dynasty, the officials of the Cheng Zhu faction were not grateful to Zheng Qingzhi, and they were always thinking about how to completely liquidate Shi Miyuan and even the Siming Party.
Qiao Xingjian has been coveting the position of prime minister, and the members of Cheng Zhu's faction immediately hit it off. This is also the root cause of Shi Songzhi's defeat in the battle of Luo.
The defeat of the Mongols in the battle for the eastern and western capitals was a turning point for the Great Song Dynasty. After this battle, the Song and Mongolian dynasties, which were originally inseparable, completely tore their faces and began a long war that lasted for more than 40 years, and finally ended with the Mongols unifying the land of China and the fall of the Great Song Dynasty.
It cannot be said that the failure of raising troops into Luo led to the demise of the Great Song Dynasty, but for the changes in the pattern of the Song and Mongolian dynasties, the battle of raising troops into Luo can be regarded as the initiator.
The failure to raise troops into Los Angeles was an unprecedented blow to the Siming and One Party. Zheng Qingzhi, the prime minister of the left, was forced to resign and lost the position of the prime minister of the left; At that time, Shi Songzhi, the anti-Ding of the Shi clan, was severely resigned by the imperial court, and was removed from the Jinghu system to make the post, and he was given leisure for three years.
Qiao Xingjian took advantage of the situation to wait for the position of Zaifu, and the same Cheng Zhu faction controlled the power of the court. A large number of officials of the Siming faction were liquidated for various reasons and were idle.
Up to now, although Shi Songzhi has once again gotten rid of the idle state and been promoted to the governor of political affairs because of Zhao Yun's order, the Siming Party has long since lost its original heyday.
This also directly led to the incompatibility between Zheng Qingzhi and Qiao Xingjian. Zheng Qingzhi was angry that Qiao Xingjian had failed to live up to his trust in the United Cheng Zhu faction to draw salaries, and he was even more angry that Qiao Xingjian's liquidation of the officials of the Siming faction made him basically the most unpopular person in the Siming faction; And Qiao Xingjian is in power, although there is no-for-tat with Zheng Qingzhi, he basically has no contact.
The feud between the two emperors is basically not a secret in the Great Song Dynasty. For example, Huang Jianniang has a lot of high-ranking officials and nobles who receive them on weekdays, and the news is naturally extremely well-informed.
Under such circumstances, no one knew whether Zheng Hong would invite Qiao Yu to participate in the Seyuan Poetry Meeting.
However, Huang Jiaoniang is only teasing Lan'er, as far as she is concerned, Qiao Yu is among her many followers, whether it is her background, knowledge or appearance, she naturally has a good impression of Qiao Yu.
However, this goodwill is only a good feeling. Qiao Yu is far from the point where she falls in love. She was only eighteen years old, and she was still young, so she naturally wanted to see more.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that Qiao Yu unconsciously hooked Lan'er's soul. And Lan'er is a sister she grew up with, and although she said this with a hint of ridicule at this moment, it was all the truth in her heart.
If the two of them really have a concubine, she is also happy to see Lan'er have a good home.
"Miss...... Lan'er doesn't leave, Lan'er will go wherever Miss goes. Lan'er's eyes were slightly red, and she said firmly and slowly.
"You! It's just a little mouthy sweet! Huang Jiaoniang stretched out her onion-like jade finger and pointed at Lan'er's forehead, and said softly.
"Hehe, Sister Lan'er actually doesn't know how happy she is to pinch it!" Xiangyun on the side saw that the atmosphere was a little silent, and joked with a smile.
"Okay, dead Xiangyun, you also come to tease me. Miss...... You don't care! After all, Lan'er is still a little girl's heart, and after a short period of depression, she instantly shifted her attention to Xiangyun, shaking Huang Jiaoniang's arm and scratching Xiangyun's ribs.
"Giggle...... Hee-hee...... Sister Lan'er, Xiangyun is wrong! Xiangyun was suddenly attacked, but not to be outdone, he also reached out to scratch Lan'er's ribs.
Looking at the two girls who were playing together, a touch of warmth flashed in Huang Jiaoniang's beautiful eyes.
In this world, I'm afraid that only the two of them are truly sincere to themselves. Not to mention the little uncle Jia Daguan and Shi Xiang who coveted their beauty, then didn't Gongzi Qiao just come for his beauty and body?
Huang Jiaoniang sighed faintly!
……
In the front yard of the Se Garden, the poetry meeting that the scholars had been waiting for for a long time finally began. It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that today's poetry meeting had already been full of waves at the beginning and directly entered the climax.
