Chapter 493: The Matter of Heian Temple

Xu Zhiliang laughed and praised: "Madame is really a female Zhuge in the middle!" Xia Guan will write when he goes back, there is Mrs. Lao! ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and Qian Laoxiu suddenly said: "Madam, if the Metropolitan Governor refuses to be gracious, what should we do?" ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, Zhang Zhensun said decisively: "You have another book, stating that there is absolutely no intention to hinder the change of the law, and you have determined to change the past, and also let everyone sign it, and we will bring it over and hand it over to the Metropolitan Governor in person." ”

Everyone clapped their hands and said, "Good plan! ”

The two maids went into the study and took pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Qian Lao Xiucai and Zheng Xiucai sharpened and wrote, sprinkled thousands of words with a wave. Zhang Zhensun read it and praised: "Good article, most of the governors will be able to open up the net after reading it." ”

After receiving Zhang Zhensun's praise, the two were very excited, and took a stack of blank paper to ask for signatures outside.

When the scholars outside heard that things might have taken a turn for the better, they were ecstatic and rushed to sign their names, and some even signed several in succession, but they were afraid that they would not be seen.

Xu Zhiliang walked to the door, saw the crowd outside, and all of them scrambled to be the first, and sighed: "Why bother! I don't know how much the Metropolitan Governor has done you good, but I don't know how much to cherish. ”

Liang Xiongfei said: "Most of the scholars in Guangzhou are still sensible, I hope these people can remember the lesson and don't provoke the governor and delay their future." ”

Xu Zhiliang looked at him and thought about it, and said: "You also go together, remember to tell the Metropolitan Governor that Xu Zhiliang, the envoy of Guangdong Economic Strategy, has been training troops for these days, and the grain and grass are also constantly being raised, waiting for the Southern Governor of the Metropolitan Governor!" ”

Liang Xiongfei was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Yes, thank you, sir!" ”

Xu Zhiliang turned around and returned to his seat. said to Mrs. Gu, "Madam." Liang Xiongfei, the subordinate general of the lower officials, has always been cautious in handling affairs. After being by Xiaguan's side for a long time, he is very familiar with all kinds of things in Guangzhou, and it is better for him to explain to the Metropolitan Governor than to just bring a letter from Xiaguan, what does Madame think? ”

How could Mrs. Gu not know his thoughts, and said with a smile: "What the adult said is reasonable, Lord Liang went to Lin'an instead of the adult, and he is the best candidate." ”

Xu Zhizhi forgave him: "When does Madam plan to leave?" ”

Mrs. Gu said, "Without further ado. The sooner the better, and will it be convenient for you to leave tomorrow? ”

Where would everyone have objections, they all nodded and said, "That's right, I'll clean it up as soon as I get back." ”

Only Xie Xian said: "Madam, the lower officials want the navy to pull out the village, not so fast, and they can go north in three days." ”

Mrs. Gu said: "This is natural, if we arrive first, we should report to the Metropolitan Governor to send someone to answer." ”

Xu Zhiliang said: "How many people do you want to bring to Lin'an?" ”

Ling Zhen said: "It shouldn't be too much, it's limited to two thousand people." Otherwise, it will be difficult to receive grain along the way. ”

Huang Jun said: "There are not many soldiers, and most of the governors don't count on our troops. Two thousand people are enough. ”

Everyone nodded yes. Then they set their minds on the path they were going to take, and they were going to set out tomorrow.

After the signatures of more than 2,000 people outside were solicited, Qian Lao Xiucai and Zheng Xiucai walked in with a thick stack of papers.

Zhang Zhensun took it, put it away cautiously, and said, "Two of you, please tell everyone outside, I will personally hand over this book to the Metropolitan Governor!" ”

The two Xiucai took a deep look and said, "Please leave everything to Master Zhang!" ”

Xu Zhiliang got up and said goodbye: "Madame wants to pack her luggage, I will retire for the time being, and tomorrow morning, I will wait at the door of Madame." And they all saluted together.

Mrs. Gu didn't keep it, and gave it away.

As soon as a few adults left, the scholars outside also receded like a tide, and many people crowded to the gate before leaving, bowed to the house, and then quietly retreated.

Mrs. Gu and the two maids were packing their luggage inside, and they were very busy, and when they looked up by chance, they saw this scene, and they were very moved. secretly determined, even if he knelt down and begged, he also asked Cheng Yue to give grace outside the law.

Zhang Zhensun hurried home, and as soon as he entered the door, he ordered his family to pack his bags for him, and he went to his parents' room to say goodbye. The Zhang family is a big family in Guangzhou, and the rules are very big.

After hearing what Zhang Zhensun said, Father Zhang immediately said, "You should have gone a long time ago!" The Metropolitan Governor is working hard, and all the talents in the sea should be used by the Metropolitan Governor! As a champion, you only know how to live at home and watch your parents, and you are not ashamed! ”

Zhang Zhensun was ashamed and said: "What my father taught me is that Zhensun will fight for recovery when he goes, and he will not dare to give up halfway." ”

Father Zhang smiled and said, "I know that the last time you abandoned the government, it was mostly because of the darkness of the government and the government, and you were dissatisfied. But at this time and at that time, now that the governor of the capital is in charge of the country, the scene in the DPRK and China is a new one, people make the best use of their talents, and make the best use of things, if you don't go, it will be too late, do you want to die of old age at home? ”

Zhang Zhensun said: "Zhensun understands, that's why the idea of becoming an official again arose." ”

Mother Zhang said lovingly: "Go, don't worry about the family, you are talented and learned, you should make meritorious contributions and glorify the lintel!" ”

Zhang Zhensun said: "Yes, Zhensun remembers his mother's teachings. After speaking, he respectfully kowtowed to the two old men.

On this side, Ling Zhen, Huang Jun and others were even more dizzy. Ordering troops, preparing heavy grain and grass, switching defenses, handing over to deputies, preparing local products, and explaining family affairs, everything is not simple, even if a large number of family members and subordinates are busy, they are busy until late at night.

The next day, regardless of fatigue, everyone got up early in the morning and ordered the army to wait outside the city, and several adults came to Mrs. Gu's door to wait soon after dawn. Although Xu Zhiliang didn't go, he also came to see him off.

Mrs. Gu didn't know when she would be able to come back, so she left a maid ring to watch the house, and after greeting the adults, she took another maid ring, got into the carriage given to her by Cheng Yue, and went straight to Lin'an.

Cheng Yue dispelled the arrogance of the Elders' Association with a heavy hand, and the ministers of the court and the central government did not dare to take chances. More than 700 recalcitrant members of the Elders Association were arrested and imprisoned, but all of them were released after only three days. Those who dared to continue to slander Cheng Yue cancelled the qualifications of their relatives for the examination, and directly stripped the core of the people who were famous, removed their clothes, and practiced Cheng Yue's orders one by one.

After the two saints heard about Cheng Yue's actions, they were silent, as long as Cheng Yue didn't kill anyone, they didn't have much opinion.

The matter of the Elders' Association came to an end, and Cheng Yue's changes began to unfold gradually. In addition to the two prime ministers and Cheng Dang's people, the officials of the imperial court and the nearby state capital of Lin'an were divided into several groups by Cheng Yue, and one group was sent to Suzhou for training. The convening order for local officials in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty will also be issued in order, and all officials at and above the county level in all localities will go to Suzhou one after another to observe the government.

Cheng Yue also appointed Yang Ting as the mayor of Lin'an City, firmly holding Lin'an City in his hands. People sent from Suzhou have also begun to plan transportation in Lin'an, housing prices in various cities have begun to soar, and preparations for changing the law are in full swing.

On the eighth day after Cheng Yue's wedding banquet, the two empresses and concubines of Kublai Khan moved to the empty villa, without bringing the palace maids who served with them.

Cheng Yue would often go to Xie Daoqing to greet him, and after greeting him, he would stay here for a while in Kuokuolun and Babahan, and if he had time, he would teach them to stir-fry vegetables and play the six-stringed piano, and instructed the palace maids around the two saints to keep an eye on them at any time.

On this day, in the study of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, Ding Niang said to Cheng Yue: "Xianggong, the abbot of Ping'an Temple, Yuanyi Zen Master, heard that he is going to Quanzhou in a few days, and there are seventeen disciples in the temple accompanying him. ”

Cheng Yue put down the music in his hand, raised his head and said, "Oh? That old monk is leaving? ”

Ding Niang said: "The Yunzhong Temple in Quanzhou asked him to go over to preside, where the emperor is far away, he is probably afraid that something will happen sooner or later when he stays in Lin'an, so he promised to go over." ”

Cheng Yue groaned: "Wang Wei is the person next to Zhao Xian, except for the two saints, the official family is probably the closest to this Wang Wei, the reason why I haven't touched him since I came back is that I am worried about this, I can't bear to make the official family sad, I want to wait a while." Now, it seems, has to be moved. ”

Ding Niang said: "Xianggong, in fact, it's okay to let him go, Xianggong can warn them privately, at most, let them hand over the money they should pay." ”

Cheng Yue shook his head and said, "No, absolutely not." If the law is not strictly enforced, how can I change the law? Dingniang, you go and ask Yang Ting to block Ping'an Temple, interrogate a cadre and others one by one, and obtain evidence of collusion between Wang Yu and Ping'an Temple. Once I've got the evidence, I'll go for myself. ”

Ding Niang said: "Yes, Xianggong." "Turn around and go out to give the order.

Yang Ting received Dingniang's order, and immediately dispatched 1,500 of his men to surround the Ping'an Temple and take the relevant monks to the prison of Lin'an Mansion for interrogation.

The interrogation was very easy, and Yuan Yi and several of his confidant monks immediately confessed. They were originally holding a fluke mentality, thinking that maybe Cheng Yue would not be held accountable for the face of the official family, since the idea was in vain, confessing quickly was the only choice.

Yang Ting searched according to the map, and arrested several officials involved, collected confessions, and quickly sent them to Cheng Yue, only four hours before Cheng Yue gave his order in the morning, and it was not dark yet.

Cheng Yue was very satisfied with Yang Ting's efficiency, and told him to look after the inside and outside, not to let Wang Wei run away, and left him for dinner before letting him go.

The next day, Cheng Yue got up lazily, and Ziyan Shiyun waited for him to dress and eat. Filling his stomach, Cheng Yue hit the horse and walked to the villa.

The news of the arrest of Ping'an Temple has been spread everywhere in Lin'an, but Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu did not get the report, but they still didn't know anything, and Wang Wei served Zhao Xian and stayed in the villa together, and he also didn't know.

When Cheng Yue came to the villa, Wang Yu was accompanying Zhao Xian, King Yi, and King Guang to kick on the lawn.

When the three children saw Cheng Yue, they were very affectionate, Cheng Yue simply took off his coat, played with them, and played for a while before stopping.

Wang Yu diligently handed over a towel to Cheng Yue to wipe his sweat, and said with a smile: "The Metropolitan Governor is really good at stunning!" The minions are an eye-opener today! (To be continued......)
