Early in the morning of the second day, the army marched north.

When Zhao Huan heard the news, he felt comfortable physically and mentally. At the time of the court meeting, Zhao Huan was also very energetic, and his patience was much more than Zhao Ji's.

No matter how big or small it is, we must ask them one by one, and the details of the war in the north, the situation of the western army, the spring ploughing in the south, the spring examination, and the shortage of food in Tokyo, no matter what the matter, Zhao Huan must express his opinion.

Zheng Zhi left, the big and small gates of Bianliang City opened again, and countless soldiers who lost their armor entered Bianliang from the gate of the northern city, and would go to their homes in the city, hugging their relatives and crying with joy.

The Privy Council and the Imperial Department were also busy, slowly registering these defeated pawns, and it was such a job that roughly checked the actual number of forbidden troops in Tokyo, and also saved a lot of military expenses for the imperial court in the future.

This is also the first practical thing that Zhao Huan did after he ascended the throne, relying on such a node to rectify the forbidden army in Tokyo.

Zhou Duwen also got up early in the morning, lit a few sticks of incense for his father, and after kneeling down a few times, he was about to prepare for breakfast.

Suddenly, a small guy came straight to the mourning hall, shouting: "Childe, childe, it's not good, it's not good." ”

Zhou Duwen was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Duwen's first thought was to guess that there was trouble coming to the door, and this trouble may be related to Zheng Zhi, who called himself a very good friend with the thief Zheng Zhi.

But Zhou Duwen is not flustered, the gentleman is frank, this is the truth.

"Childe, there are people crowded outside the gate, and they all say that they are here to mourn." The little guy's panicked look also explained the scene outside the door.

"It's strange, the sun is coming out in the west, let me see." Zhou Duwen was puzzled and went out the door. Zhou Duwen, who was mourning and guarding filial piety at home, was naturally a little sluggish, and he didn't know that this anti-thief Zheng Zhi suddenly became a pillar of the country, and he also sealed the two kings, and the emperor also rewarded an emperor as a wife, and he was already in the middle of the day in this Great Song Dynasty.

When Zhou Duwen arrived at the door, the left and right servants opened the door again.

Suddenly, a crowd of people poured into the door, with countless large bags and small bags, but no one had a good-looking expression, and everyone looked heartbroken.

"Brother Zhou's Day mourns, Brother Zhou's Day mourns...

"Brother Zhou, I only blame the foolish brother for preparing for the exam at home, and I know a few days late, and I mourn and mourn...

"A generation of writers, God is jealous of talents...

Zhou Duwen was surrounded by the crowd and looked confused. But he also understood the words, and hurriedly said, "Thank you for coming to condole." Thank you, thank you... ”

"A little courtesy, not a respect...

One person stuffed the gift in his hand into Zhou Duwen's hand, and then everyone else learned to stuff the gift into Zhou Duwen's hand.

Where can Zhou Duwen hold so many things, and said busily: "Everyone, please come to the mourning hall, please hurry up." ”

When everyone heard this, they all went inside, that is, they all went to pay tribute to Zhou Bangyan to show their reverence in their hearts.

The little guy on the left and right hurriedly stepped forward to take over the things in Zhou Duwen's hand, but Zhou Duwen still didn't react, and followed the crowd inside.

When I looked back, there were still a lot of people squeezing through the door. At a cursory glance, there are no less than two or three hundred people.

Zhou Duwen walked in with a wry smile, it stands to reason that after these people kneel and bow down, they will return the salute with them, so many people are enough for Zhou Duwen to bear, I am afraid that when the salute is over, the waist will not be able to straighten up.

Another person walked up to Zhou Duwen and asked, "Brother Zhou, I wonder if His Royal Highness King Yan has sent someone to come to offer condolences?" ”

"Who? King Yan? That Yan King? "Where does Zhou Duwen know what King Yan is.

The man raised his eyebrows and said: "His Royal Highness King Yan is His Royal Highness King Yan who His Majesty sealed yesterday, the father of His Royal Highness King Zhao, and Brother Zhou's friend." ”

"I'm a scholar, how can I have a friend like His Royal Highness King Yan, don't be kidding." Zhou Duwen thought that this person was joking.

This person saw that Zhou Duwen's appearance did not seem to be fake, and hurriedly said: "How is Brother Zhou's news so closed, yesterday the official family issued an order to crown Brother Zhou's friend Zheng Daxiang as King Yan, and his son as King Zhao." can also open a mansion alone in Yanyun. With such good news, Brother Zhou didn't even know at all? ”

Zhou Duwen was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly realized, and finally understood why he was in the market early this morning, but he was also very happy in his heart, happy for Zheng Zhi, and it was a miracle that things could be solved so satisfactorily in Zhou Duwen's opinion.

"Brother Zhou, did King Yan send someone?" The man asked again.

Zhou Duwen replied at this time: "I didn't send anyone, I'm afraid he didn't know the news of his father's death." ”

When this person heard this, he said with a regretful face: "Oh, Brother Zhou, please, let me wait to worship Zhou Xuezheng." ”

Zhou Duwen saw that this person had a look of regret on his face, and he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted in his heart, and he didn't say much, and went straight to the mourning hall.

There are only two ways for scholars to enter the Northern Song Dynasty, one is to gain fame, and the other is to graduate from Taixue. The last years of the Northern Song Dynasty were not the same as before, and the importance of national schools was particularly prominent, such as primary schools, county schools, state schools, and Taixue.

If you finish your studies, you will also have a few opportunities to enter the office. But this approach generally does not have any good vacancies.

But Zheng Zhi, the king of Yan, who was able to open his own mansion, brought another way, that is, the subordinate officials of the palace, this road is not much worse than taking the Jinshi examination, and he can still be a county governor or something.

Today, the Zhou Mansion is suddenly full of people, that is, everyone knows that it is difficult to get into the Jinshi, and everyone wants to find another way out.

Zhou Duwen knelt on the side of the coffin and returned the salute to the worshippers one by one, which is also the duty of a filial son.

But Zhou Duwen's heart became more and more disgusted, and his face became more and more ugly.

The sound of compliments came and went, and some people even shed tears when they worshipped. There are also people who recite Zhou Bangyan's masterpiece in person to show their reverence.

But Zhou Duwen didn't react much at all, let alone feel moved, and even felt a little sad.

Zheng Zhi returned all the way north, the city of Hebei began to be lifted, the closed city gate was also opened, and most of the officials who were originally imprisoned were also released to work, there are countless states and counties, Zheng Zhi cannot change all the officials at once, and these officials can only be used temporarily.

But Zheng Zhi is now justified, naturally he is not afraid of what waves someone makes, not to mention that various states and counties have also sent soldiers to settle in, in fact, he is still under military control, and he dares to get along with officials who can't get along with the righteous blade, Zheng Zhi has rarely seen it.

This is also what Zheng Zhi expected, Zheng Zhi wants this beautiful river and mountain, and the people still live and work in peace and contentment. I don't want to really fight the world, in the end, what I will close is a broken mountain and river. For a society to develop to the point it is today, it really cannot be easily allowed to fall into war.

Boiling a frog in warm water is the best way to do it.

With the name of this Yan King, you don't have to worry about any big repetition of these big families in Hebei, which is also a big benefit.

What Zheng Zhi wants, what he should want, has been obtained.

Outside the city of Qinzhou in the northwest, there were 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Western Army, who were only waiting for Tokyo's reply, waiting for the money and food to be in place, so that they could go to the east of the river.

But this holy decree has come, and I am angry when I see it. After Liu Zhengyan and Yang Keshi saw it, they were even more furious.

"It seems that it is impossible for Tokyo to have a penny of food. It's still spring, and I'm going to survive until the autumn harvest, so I'm going to wait for how I can get through. What is the use of this court? Liu Zhengyan's words were unabashed.

But it didn't stop Liu Zhengyan from being open-mouthed, and only said: "Gather up all the sheep in the army and rush to Jingzhao Mansion, as many big households in Guanzhong as you can, you can sell as much as you can, and maybe you can support it more if you exchange it for grain." ”

Yang Keshi asked tentatively: "Zhexianggong, why don't you send a letter to Zheng Xianggong, ask again, and see if you can transport some grain and grass, so as to solve the urgent need, and when the autumn harvest comes, return it to Zheng Xianggong, so it is permissible." ”

Liu Zhengyan heard the words and said: "The imperial court is now sending a large army to suppress Zheng Xianggong, and now I will ask him to borrow grain, Zheng Xianggong will definitely not let me wait hungry, if the real grain comes, won't it make him worse?" This is inappropriate. ”

Zhi Keqiu shook his head and said: "This time, I'm afraid that so-and-so is going to Tokyo to ask for guilt, but what happened to the Xianggong is to a certain person again." Alas... ”

Among the holy decrees, it is to let Zhe Keqiu cross the east of the river within a month, which is really a bit embarrassing. Even if the fast horse gallops to the east, it is necessary for people to eat and chew horses, that is, even people eat and chew horses, how can it be possible to live in Hedong within a month.

Liu Zhengyan's face turned angry when he heard this, and he said: "It's a big deal, if you don't see this holy decree, and you won't go to Tokyo, I'll just nest in this northwest place and care about him so much." ”

Zhe Keqiu heard the words, and did not answer Liu Zhengyan's angry words, thought for a moment, his face turned grim, and said: "Why don't I wait for a trip to Hedong, since there is no food, I will go and grab it and rob the treasury of Hedong Prefecture." Now that there are no Liao people anyway, Hedong will not suffer from military disasters, and robbing him will not disturb the people, how about it? ”

It is already evil to the guts, and Zheng Zhi's robbery of the state treasury must be justified, which can only be regarded as a secret robbery. Now that he can ask for it, he dares to open his mouth to rob it. It can be seen that although the words do not express anger in the heart, it is already open in the heart.

Since I can't cross Hedong for a month, I don't want to go to Tokyo to ask for guilt, that is to break the jar and break it. Zhe Keqiu also knew the attitude of the two people in front of him in his heart, so he dared to say it so bluntly. Although he was a famous general in the northwest, he also surrendered to the Jin people when the country was ruined, and later there were repeats, but it was not successful, and he was poisoned by the Jin people. It is obviously not the same kind of person as a kind of person.

Yang Keshi was stunned when he heard this, but he was a little nervous in his heart, raised his eyes and kept looking at the two people in front of him, looking left and right a few times.

Liu Zhengyan thought about it, frowned, and said straightly: "Just fuck it, grab more, and return the food and salary that Zheng Xianggong received from us before." Anyway, Hedong Road doesn't have many soldiers and generals now, so instead of eating those who are officials, it is better to rob them to support my sons. ”

Yang Keshi didn't dare to call the shots, so he had to be stunned.

Zhe Keqiu and Liu Zhengyan both looked at Yang Keshi, and Yang Keshi could say hesitantly: "I... I'm going to stock up on more frames. ”
