Chapter 153: Loyalty to the Country

Go on a trip to meet old friends

Worship the king and advocate the restoration of martial arts

The next day, the Song official went to the mansion, and Xin Qiji asked him, what did you do last night? The Song capital official squeaked, and then had to admit that he drank flower wine in the Grand Hyatt Residence.

Xin Qiji was shocked, so do you know what to be guilty of? According to the law, at least the family property can be confiscated and the frontier can be managed.

There are many brothels in the city of this dynasty, which are only open to the public, but officials are not allowed to escort prostitutes**, and violators can be removed from their posts.

When the Song officials heard this, they were so frightened that the six gods had no master, and they hurriedly asked people to speak.

Although the position of this Song official is not high, it is a fat poor, and the background is very hard. I didn't know that I invited several adults to intercede, but Xin Qiji didn't let go. It was Liang Ducao who gave him an idea.

Song Duguan found Liu Longzhou and was willing to fund Wu Qianguan as a birthday gift for Liu's mother, and he must ask him to say a favor in front of Xin Dashuai.

After Xin Qiji heard about it, he said that Wu Qianguan was less, at least doubled. The Song officials were helpless and offered all the money.

Puyang River Wharf. Liu Longzhou got on the new boat bought by the government office, and Xin Qiji put the 10,000 copper coins taken out by the Song Duguan in the boat, and warned him: Go home and see your mother, the money should be used sparingly, and you should not be as lavish as usual.

Liu Longzhou was greatly moved, and filled in "Nian Nujiao" as a farewell:

There are few bosom friends, and they are considered to be big, where are they located.

Wait until you are successful to retreat, and you can find your way back one day.

In front of the multi-view building, under the weeping rainbow pavilion, a pillow sleeps in the autumn rain.

False names, ten years of wasted hard work.

It's not a bright light, a book on the north que, and there are no amazing words.

I have not allowed myself to rush to win the dust of my clothes.

Bai Bi chases joy, gold buys laughter, and pays the monarch.

On the perch river, Haoran will return tomorrow.

After Liu Longzhou left, Xin Qiji received an edict ordering him to go to the line immediately, and the emperor summoned him.

After Chen Junliang gave his respect, Ye Zhengze, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, asked for a foreign appointment, and the imperial court approved him to serve as the prefect of Quanzhou with a bachelor of Tianzhang Pavilion.

In September, Ye Zhengze was summoned to Beijing.

I heard that Peng Zishou was recuperating at home, so he went to visit him in his house.

For Ye Zhengze's arrival, Peng Zishou was overjoyed. When Ye asked about his illness, he told his old friend: It's nothing serious, it's just dizziness, and it's even worse if you sit at the desk for a long time, and you will get better if you stay in bed for a few days.

After a short time in the parents, the two talked about the recent situation of several old friends.

Chen Junliang is Ye Zhengze's teacher and a native of his hometown. Therefore, Ye Zhengze knew more about his situation.

Chen was appointed as a senior in Quanzhou. When Ye Zhengze learned about it, he immediately reported to Zhongshu Province and hoped to go to Quanzhou to take up a post. Zuo Prime Minister Xie Shenfu asked him, the transfer envoy and the city secretary have all been selected, and there is only one governor of Quanzhou Mansion, are you not too small?

Ye Zhengze has always not attached importance to fame and fortune, does not care much about the level of his position, opposes empty talk about life, stresses the system of learning, stresses application, and advocates reform.

Then he said that in today's plan, the imperial court should have rules and regulations, trade and benefit workers, support merchants with the power of the state, circulate currency, and emphasize agriculture rather than despising industry and commerce. Quanzhou is an important place for business, and I only want to go there to do some practical things and collect more taxes for the imperial court.

Listening to his words, Xie Shenfu sighed, Brother Zhengze is a capable minister of my dynasty to do practical things, and I support you.

After arriving in Quanzhou, because of his retention, Chen Junliang has not left. After that, he accompanied the teacher to visit the scenic spots in Quanzhou, repaired his house, and then sent his old couple back to Jinhua.

Peng Zishou told some stories about Xu Pingyang.

After this old man was released from the arrangement, he suddenly figured out that he wanted to eat, drink, have fun, and enjoy the fun of life. is more than sixty, first married a concubine in her thirties in Chuzhou, and then married a courtesan less than twenty, which made the original partner cry and make trouble, and her in-law Yang Xiang also came forward to persuade her.

What about him, Zhen Zhen has words, taking Zhang Sanying as an example, saying that people are more than eighty years old, and they can still marry, but I am only in my sixties, why can't I? I just want to learn the red apricot book and have fun in time.

Song Qi of Renzong Dynasty, once served as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and was known as the red apricot book because of the word "red apricot branches are in spring". Song Qi and his brother Song Zhen have experienced a turning point in their lives from poverty to wealth. Before he was admitted to the Jinshi, Song Qi and his brother were studying in the school, and on the day of the winter solstice, they were so poor that they had no money to eat, so they scraped off the little silver wrapped in the scabbard of the ancestral sword and exchanged it for some wine and food. Song Qi also laughed at himself and said: Eat the scabbard on the winter solstice, and you should eat the sword in the New Year. Later, both brothers were promoted to Jinshi and became big officials, and Song Qi often hugged left and right, singing and dancing all night long.

After Song Zhen found out, he blamed him: You are so poor and extravagant, have you forgotten the days when you ate wild vegetables and drank porridge in the school?

Song Qi laughed, of course he remembered! But what was the purpose of drinking wild vegetable porridge in the academy back then? The implication is that I studied hard in the cold window back then, wasn't it just to be able to drink excessively every day today!

And what about later? Married?

He wanted to marry, but the courtesan stopped marrying and married a young businessman. After returning to Beijing, his brother bought eight beautiful women as handmaidens in one go, and enjoyed flowers and drinks at every turn, but he was also at ease. Last day, I saw him and asked him what he was buying those beauties for? Can your body withstand it? Guess what he said?

I'd rather die under the flowers, and be a ghost is also romantic.

Almost. I can't play it, but I'm happy to see it.

All officials who enter Beijing should first report to Zhongshu Province. Right Prime Minister Ding Qiaoan personally received:

Brother Ye, the saddle horse is tired all the way, can your body be healthy? After Ding Qiaoan invited him to sit down, he asked with a smile.

Thanks to the wrong love of the left, the rule has always been peaceful. Ye Zhengze has rarely had direct contact with this prime minister, and he doesn't know much, so he has to deal with him perfunctorily.

Xie asked again, how are the sister-in-law and the children okay? Are you still used to living there in Quanzhou?

It's all good, Xie Cheng is in love. Compared with the capital, that place in Quanzhou is a little worse, it is hot and humid, and there will be typhoons in summer, but we can see the sea every day, and our family likes it very much and adapts to it. By the way, Ding Xiang, what is the matter with the emperor's summons this time? What to ask?

It's nothing special, two years ago, you rectified the salt affairs in Yangzhou, which will check and make up taxes in Quanzhou, and suddenly collected tens of millions of extra money for the imperial court, the emperor knew, very happy, and praised you for being solid and capable, loyal to the country. also said that Ye Aiqing is okay, I haven't seen him for many years. This is the first time that the emperor cares so much about his courtiers.

Seeing the emperor, Zhengzheng wanted to thank the emperor for his love.

Then what are you going to do this time?

It is hoped that the imperial court will attach importance to the state and county schools and restore martial arts. Prime Minister, you know, I don't like to talk empty words and make accusations, so I want to do more practical things.

Okay, Brother Zhengze, the court likes loyal ministers like you. Everywhere you go, you can thrive and it is a piece of shining gold.

Emperor Zhao Kuan was summoned in the Wende Palace. Guan Li first announced the decree: the emperor has a decree, Ye Zhengze is loyal to the country, gathers wealth for the country, is a hero of the imperial court, and gives jade belt and silver Wu 100 taels to show reward.

Ye Zhengze was grateful, and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The emperor gave him a seat, looked at Ye Zhengze and said: Ye Aiqing, I haven't seen you for a few years, and there are a lot of clearers, so you have to take care of yourself.

Emperor Xie's care for Weichen. Wechen must take care of his body and do more things for the country. Weichen thinks that governing the country is based on peace, and doing things is extremely peaceful. It is the duty of a minister to rest his heart and forget his country.

What Aiqing said is extremely true, Qing's loyalty, I have long known, what is the strategy of the last dynasty for governing the country today?
