Many things in the world are like this, others don't know how to cherish when they ask grandpa to tell grandma to come to the door, and once they leave, they regret it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoSince the second year of Tiansheng and Xu Ping in Zhongmu, Zhang Yuan and Wu Jiuxia have been tossing in the border states along the Shaanxi Road for many years, and they have made a lot of reputation, but none of the generals along the border are willing to use them. When they entered the party, they repeated their old tricks and changed their names to Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, deliberately committing Zhao Yuanhao's name. He made amazing remarks in the downtown area, and was successfully received by Yuan Hao, who was bent on opposing the Song Dynasty, and was awarded an official position, which was widely publicized.

This was a war between the Song and the party for the hearts and minds of the people, and the border generals did not dare to take this responsibility, while recruiting another Yao Sizong, who often traveled with Zhang and Wu, as a staff member, and at the same time wrote to the imperial court. In order to compete for the hearts and minds of the people, some ministers suggested that Zhang Yuan and Wu Jiuxia's families should be treated favorably, and the family members should be sent to Beijing as hostages, and at the same time his brothers and nephews should be sent to the border to lure Zhang Yuan.

Xu Ping saw this suggestion in the morning newspaper and was stunned for a long time, not understanding the truth in the middle. Two fallen Jinshi, I don't know how many such people there are in the border area, with such fanfare, what is the picture? If it is said to win the hearts and minds of the people, doesn't this encourage other people who are in a similar situation to Zhang and Wu to go to the party? If you don't go to the party, you can't even find an official and a half-job, and after you get to the party, the official may give them money, give food, and the whole family will follow. Is this a contest for hearts and minds or an encouragement for treason?

Xu Ping said in the last chapter that if he has the bearing of a great country, then he doesn't need to pay attention to it, just let Zhang Yuan and the two of them toss, everything is up to me, why care about how the party treats the two scholars who have fallen behind. If these two men are really serious, then they should issue a public notice to clarify the sins of these two men, move their families to the mainland, and at the same time strictly check the border so that nothing like this happens again.

Due to the fierce opposition of Xu Ping, the matter finally ended without a trace. More than 100 members of Zhang Yuan and Wu Jiuxia's clan were sent to live in Fangzhou and ordered the magistrate to monitor them. The two of them did this kind of thing, and the family had hidden dangers in Huazhou, a border area, and it was reasonable to move away.

At the edge of the pond in the back garden of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, Xu Ping took Sang Yi's hand and said: "Lingnan is goodbye, and before I know it, it has been four or five years. Seeing that everything is as usual with you and your demeanor is still the same, I am relieved! ”

After the cold noise, let Sang Yi sit in the guest seat, Xu Ping said to Pang Ji and Shi Yannian: "When I left Yongzhou, Pang Yushi had just arrived in Lingnan, and Shi Manqing was still in the capital, so he didn't work together in Lingnan. However, Sang Cha has been working with you all the time, and they are no strangers to each other. It was the first time that we, the civil and military officials in Lingnan, had gathered together in the capital. ”

Pang Ji said: "I went to Yongzhou to advise on grace, and everything is perfect, but it is just a success." ”

Xu Ping laughed: "That place, where do you still have to defend it?" The person who will pick you up now is still pioneering! ”

Several people gossiped for a while, and Xu Pingcai said to Sang Yi: "Xiucai, do you remember that in Zhongmu back then, we once took two Luodi Jinshi who made medicine silver?" Although he took them, he let them go. ”

Sang Yi nodded: "Remember, it seems that one of the two of them is surnamed Zhang and the other is surnamed Wu, and they are from Shaanxi Province." ”

"Yes, it's them! Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, these two people had a big incident. A few months ago, they went out of the Song Realm and defected to Zhao Yuanhao, the party item, and I heard that they were still quite important! ”

Sang Yi was stunned for a moment, looked at Pang Ji and Shi Yannian, and then said: "Those two people have some courage, they can't ask for an official and a half-position in a place like Shaanxi Road, how did they end up in this step?" ”

Xu Ping shook his head: "The heart is higher than the sky, and when you say it, it means the sky and the earth, and it is useless to do it." I have inquired, since these two people fell in the second year of the Heavenly Sage, they have wandered around several states in the northwest border and met many border generals. They were so good at making amazing words, just before leaving the Song Realm, they also hired a few strong men with a man named Yao Sizong and dragged a boulder avenue to walk. Some sensational verses were written on the stone, and the three of them cried alongside, meaning that no one in the world knew the hero. The general guarding the border was really frightened by them, and recruited three people for questioning, but they didn't dare to use them because they were in a fog. Zhang Yuan and Wu Jiuxia were not angry in their hearts, so they left the Song Realm and defected to the party. But that Yao Sizong, who still remembered that he was a Han Chinese, did not follow, and now he was recruited into the shogunate in the border area. ”

Sang Yi laughed when he heard it: "Back then, in Zhongmu, although these two people were down, they were amazing. ”

Listening to the lively talk of the two people, Shi Yannian said: "When Yunxing was in Zhongmu back then, I often went to your village, why haven't I heard of it?" So you've seen these two people at that time. ”

It was not easy to embarrass Shi Yannian and Pang Ji, who were sitting together, so Xu Ping told him about the events of the year, and of course omitted the plot of dealing with Ma Jiliang's family. More than ten years have passed since the incident, and it has passed the retrospective period according to the law, and for people of Xu Ping and Sang Yi's status, it is just an interesting story when they were young, and no one will pursue whether it was illegal back then.

In the early and middle Song Dynasty, there were still many young rangers, and there were quite a few who used to kill people with knives. The little thing Xu Ping and Sang Yi did back then was nothing compared to Zhang Yong and a few others, and it also had a bonus effect on their side skills.

Because he came by sea, it took Sang Yi to lead the army to the capital much less than Xu Ping back then, and he arrived a few days ago. A total of 2,800 people were selected from the tens of thousands of Xiang troops and township soldiers in Yonglang Road, divided into two armies, one for each cavalry and two for infantry. Zhao Zhen personally gave the military horn, and used Xuanwei, which was canceled two years ago, to highlight the merit of breaking the toe that year. In addition, a commander was symbolically selected from Jiaozhi, who was basically the son of the princes and nobles of Jiaozhi, and the military name was Guiming Jiaozhi, which was also subordinate to the front of the palace, and formed a separate army to show the conquest of Jiaozhi.

When such a border army arrived in the capital, there were many ceremonies. The privy envoy Zhang Shixun gave the military number on behalf of the imperial court, and Zhao Zhen personally inspected it, and he was busy for nearly half a month. Until today, there was no time to spare, and Xu Ping invited the old people in Yongzhou to get together.

Listening to Xu Ping talk about the old things, Pang Ji knew that Shi Yannian, Sang Yi and Xu Ping had known each other for a long time, and they had dealt with Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, who had recently joined the party, and couldn't help but say: "Recently, Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao have defected to Yuan Hao, and the ministers in the court have been talking about it. Yuan Hao favored these two people in a high position and lured Song Chen, thinking that it would be a big disaster in the future. What are these two people like? Will it become a confidant of the imperial court in the future? ”

Xu Ping said: "It's exaggerated, it's useless, for the party, there are not many of them, and there are many of them." What is really worrying is not these two people, but what Yuan Hao is hyping up at this time, what he has in mind. Since Zhao Deming, I don't know how many people have defected to the party from Song. This is the normal condition of human beings, and with the size of China, there are always people who do not care about honesty and shame for the sake of fame and fortune. In the past, the party used to keep these people incognito, for fear of causing disputes with the imperial court. This time, Zhao Yuanhao reversed his previous approach, not only did he not hide it, but also publicized it, doesn't it mean that he can't hold back his disobedience? ”

Pang Ji was stunned: "The advice is to say that the party item should be opposed?" ”

"It's already lice on a bald head, a plain thing. used all kinds of excuses, did not use the name of the Great Song Dynasty, changed the system for no reason, and wantonly rewarded the party, but the party only did not rebel openly. Now there are Zhang and Wu again, but I'm afraid it will be in a year or two. ”

(Note: The time when Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao defected to the party is generally between the second year of Qingli and the fourth year of Jingyou in May and June.) The former statement is obviously intended to echo that they had met Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan, and it is not believable, and the latter statement is adopted in the book. Their role in the party rebellion cannot be overestimated, and most of the stories are novelists, and the names of these two people are not among the main ministers of Yuan Hao's rebellion, and they are more likely to be used as mascots to win people's hearts. ）
