Chapter 18: Traitor?

Daddy is really resolute. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In the afternoon, when Liu Yong went to school, Liu Qingzhi and the third uncle took Liu Xun to the private school on Tongyu Street, and brought a large bag of heavy copper coins, which were used to bind them. Of course, the money was prepared by Liu Qingzhi.

I don't know what decoction the third uncle poured into him, Liu Yong has never seen his father so generous, carrying a heavy copper coin, full of questions, and he can't care about falling asleep.

When he arrived at the private school, Liu Yong handed the money to his father and went in first.

When Mr. Meng saw that someone had brought another student, he smiled happily, touched Liu Xun's head, and kept praising how Liu Yong's studies had made rapid progress under his teaching. Then he scoffed at the evaluation made by Liu Xun's former husband, and said very professionally that only famous teachers can produce high apprentices, and the students' failure to pass the exam is obviously because the level of the husband is not enough, how can they complain about the poor qualifications of the students? Of course, qualifications are also a big part of the reason. However, I have repeatedly assured that Liu Xun will definitely make extraordinary progress under his teaching.

"Why is your dad here? Isn't that kid outside the door your brother Liu Xun? ”

Liu Yong put his schoolbag on the table, pulled up the stool and sat down. But he didn't dare to sleep on the table, his father was outside, so he had to pretend to take out a book and read it. Wang Yu and Yang Zhang on the side leaned over and asked.

"My third uncle came to the house at noon today, I don't know what to say to my father, my father has to live in my house and go to school with me."

"Isn't that good? You'll be able to have one more playmate in the future? ”

Wang Yu said.

"No, it's the attendant. Look at Liu Xun so small. ”

Yang Zhang corrected.

"What's good? If there is one more person, my mother will have to buy two copies when she gives me pocket money to buy things in the future. ”

Liu Yong obviously remembered that he was "cheated" by the little girl last night, and said indignantly.

"Then you're not going to ask your dad for it, are you?"

Yang Zhang asked.

"Listen to what my father said to the third uncle at noon, they will go to Jinghu again in a few days, and they may come back. My mother refuses to give me more pocket money, how should I live?

What's more, if there is one more follower, it will be difficult to sneak out to play in the future. ”

Liu Yong sighed with a sad face, but then returned to normal, only to see that after Mr. Meng sent Liu Yong's father and third uncle away, he led Liu Xun to sit down at an empty table not far from Liu Yong, and then went back to the back room to get pen and ink, handed it to Liu Xun, and then touched his head, said a few words kindly and began the afternoon lecture.

In the next few days, Liu Qingzhi was obviously busy. Every day when it was time to eat, Liu Yong didn't see his father come back, and heard Mu Shi say that he went to buy goods.

Sure enough, on the evening of the third day, a pile of northern specialties filled the main hall of Liu Yong's house.

"Jinghu is naturalized a few years earlier than Huangzhou, there are many people who go, and the profits are diluted, fortunately they are selling tea, but when they go, they can't be empty-handed, and they can make some money by bringing some rare things in the south."

Liu Qingzhi said to Mu.

Jinghuman and Huangzhou were also naturalized when they were in Shenzong, but Huangzhou was located on the frontier and changed hands several times, and it was only a few years of stable work.

Jinghu Barbarian is located in the hinterland of the Emperor and Song Dynasty, since the Wei State was fairly stable, the local barbarians also planted tea trees on the mountain under the guidance of interests and the government, and gradually formed a scale over the years, but the fame is still not large.

This time, Liu Qingzhi and his cousin went to Jinghu to buy Jinghuman's tea, and then sell it to the Kansai region. Because it is purchased in the production area, the cost will naturally drop a lot.

The Emperor Song Dynasty implemented a tea monopoly system, and thirteen markets were set up before the Emperor You, and only a few merchants were qualified to trade in tea. Later, the tea farm system was gradually abolished, and now, you only need to exchange a sufficient amount of "tea coupons" at the Tokyo Tea Market to get a piece of the pie. Of course, this cup of soup is not easy to share.

A few days later, Liu Qingzhi and his cousin got everything ready, and set off with the convoy on a sunny morning.

A few days after Liu Qingzhi left, Liu Yong, as in the past, went back and forth between home and private school every day, the difference was that there was a small follower behind him.

When he came to the private school early this morning, Liu Yong found that the atmosphere was a little wrong. A couple of older "brothers" were arguing about something.

"Hey, what are they talking about?"

Liu Yong came to his place and asked Yang Zhang.

"You don't know? The news came this morning that Zeng Zixuan was dead. ”

Yang Zhang got up a little late today, didn't have time to eat breakfast, bought an oil cake in Maiji Lane and brought it into the school, took a bite, and said greasy.

"Who?"

Liu Yong didn't understand for a while.

"It's Zeng Bu Zeng, who was demoted from the capital a few years ago."

"Oh, it's Zengbu."

Liu Yong suddenly realized that he had naturally never seen Zeng Bu, and he had no memory when Zeng Bu was demoted out of the capital, and of course he had no impression of him. But on weekdays, whether it is eating at the night market or passing the time at Mu's Restaurant, you can always hear some diners talking about the rights and wrongs of the ministers of the current and former dynasties. Tsengbu is naturally one of them.

"Isn't he a traitor? What is there to argue about when dead? ”

Liu Yong asked puzzled.

Zeng Bu was one of the "main forces" of Xining's reform in his early years, Wang Anshi's right-hand man, and Lu Huiqing participated in the formulation of the law of green seedlings, assistant service, armor protection, and farmland, so he offended many people.

Later, Emperor Shenzong died young, and Emperor Zhezong's young Empress Dowager Gao took charge, appointing Wang Anshi's political rival Sima Guang of the conservative faction to power. Sima Guang only served as prime minister for eight months, but he abolished all the Xining reforms, and Zeng Bu was demoted from Tokyo. Later, Zhezong was in power, and Zeng Bu returned to the imperial court as a privy envoy, and together with Prime Minister Zhang Dan, he advocated many measures to restore Xining's reforms.

However, Emperor Zhezong also died of illness soon after, and King Duan succeeded to the throne. Zeng Bu was meritorious in supporting the establishment and was the right minister. But the good times didn't last long, in the early years of Chongning, he was attacked and raped by Cai Jing, and he quit the prime minister with "supporting Yuan You's traitorous party and squeezing Shaosheng's loyalty".

Zeng Bu has always advocated changing the law, offended many conservative imperial relatives and noble ministers, so after being demoted, he was attacked and raped, and even once became "the most heinous person since Taizu of the Emperor and Song Dynasty, and it is not enough to thank the world if he does not kill".

"Who said Zeng Zixuan was a traitor? Ignorant! ”

As soon as Liu Yong's words fell, he was heard by a "senior brother" not far away, and he stood up excitedly, patted the table and said loudly.

"Why aren't you traitors?"
