Chapter 249: Dragon Spirit Mountain

On August 12, on a seemingly ordinary day, Sun Pengyuan, the head of the household case in Yongfu County, Guizhou, held an autumn outing class reunion on Lingshan, the birthplace of Longlingchuan. Zhao Yu was also invited and happily went.

Sun Pengyuan is the best official in Guangnan West Road, he is in a different place, but he has become a well-oiled position in the household case, I have to say that his ability is considerable.

The name of Lingshan is loud enough, but in fact it is not a big mountain, in the Guangnan West Road, which is full of high mountains, Lingshan is considered short. However, in the early morning, the fog is filled, and the mountain peaks are beautiful, but there is a bit of the smell of the dust fairy mountain.

"How powerful is this mountain! But that's it! Yang Wenguang, who came with him, muttered in disappointment.

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Zhong Rong, don't you hear Mr. Mengde's "Burrow"? The mountain is not high, and there is a fairy name. The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. Isn't that what we're talking about? ”

Feng Shenji interjected with a smile: "General Yang, you may not know that the reason why this Spirit Mountain is called Spirit Mountain is because Long Lingchuan is often found by dragons!" In a few moments, General Yang may catch a glimpse of such a rare spectacle in the world! ”

Yang Wenguang was skeptical and said, "Could it really be that there is a dragon here?" ”

Feng Shenji thought about it, and didn't have the courage to boast, and said: "This subordinate doesn't know, but every two or three years, someone will always see a long black shadow writhing and swimming past Long Lingchuan. Therefore, folklore has it that this is a dragon! This nameless stream and hill also got its name Longlingchuan and Lingshan. ”

Yang Wen was in high spirits. said: "This really should be taken a good look!" ”

Zhao Yu smiled noncommittally. During the conversation, the group had already reached the foot of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, a large family funded the construction of a pavilion, with red pillars and green tiles, but it has a unique view.

Several young men dressed as scholars were waiting in the pavilion, and when they saw Zhao Yu and his party, they immediately greeted them. "The students meet the sake priest!"

Zhao Yu immediately turned over from Que Yue's black horse, helped up the leader, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen each other for a few years, and we are all tall and strong!" If this king is not mistaken. You should be Sun Pengyuan and Sun Ziyue, right? There are friends from afar, don't you say! That's a good name! Ha ha! ”

Sun Pengyuan was moved in his heart and said: "The Lord of the Wine Festival still remembers the students, which really moves the students!" ”

Zhao Yu smiled, picked up the others one by one, and said the names of these people one by one, and his natural demeanor silently gave these scholars who were far away a feeling of family.

"I've suffered you in the past few years!" Zhao Yu squeezed the hands of several scholars vigorously, and sighed infinitely.

On weekdays, in front of others, the breezy and indifferent officials can't help but have tears in their eyes now. Nobody understood. Without Zhao Yu, how hard their lives were. People are in a foreign land. Nature is oppressed everywhere. Fortunately, there are not many scholars on the West Road of Guangnan, so he barely squeezed out his head by relying on his ability and fame. If you go to other states and counties, I don't know what it will be like if you are going to be excluded.

However, everyone is no longer a child in the end, and the heart is moved to be moved, and reason still quickly controls the emotions, and I don't know what to think in my heart. On the surface, the group tied their horses to the bottom of the mountain and sent soldiers to guard them, and they went up the mountain with laughter and laughter.

When you reach the mountainside, you can see a dense bamboo forest, and the fresh breath is refreshing. There is also an artificial path in the middle of the bamboo forest, and beyond the path is a meadow with several pavilions built on the grass. People who want to come to Lingshan on weekdays to play here.

At the moment, there are hundreds of people scattered on the grass, and there is not enough place to do it, it doesn't matter, just spread it on the ground with an oilcloth and sit on your knees. In fact, although they arrived in the Song Dynasty, the Song people were no strangers to kneeling and sitting, but a high-end and atmospheric sitting posture.

Seeing Zhao Yu enter the grassland, the scholars who were talking immediately stopped their voices, and the scholars who were sitting immediately stood up. Everyone greeted Zhao Yu warmly, although Zhao Yu did not remember everyone's names, but his words were funny and affectionate, which made many people feel close in their hearts.

"Sacrificial wine, shouldn't you go on stage to talk about it?" Sun Pengyuan stepped forward and said in a low voice.

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "I'm sorry for you!" ”

"It's the duty of students to wait!" Sun Pengyuan bowed slightly to show his modesty.

In the grassland, near the Longling River, a temporary high platform has been built with wooden planks.

When the scholars saw Zhao Yu walking up to the high platform, they all slowly quieted down their voices, and they naturally gathered under the high platform without commanding.

Zhao Yu tidied up his clothes and walked up to the high platform. Zhao Yu on the high platform has no bright clothing color, he likes the simple Zhao Yu, but he wears a gray-black hunting suit, with a white silk belt wrapped around his waist, a quaint ring hanging on the belt, and a pair of mille-feuille black official boots.

On the high platform, he didn't hurry to speak, Zhao Yu first looked around, and then said: "It's a pleasure to meet you, you are all students of this king!" But the king knows that you all have a complaint against the king in your hearts! Why did we go to Lingnan to be officials after we were born in Guozi Academy? What about living in this place of poor mountains and bad waters? ”

Hearing this, the apparently harmonious atmosphere immediately became a little strange. They don't know whether to admit it or cover up the past. In fact, Guozi Academy has graduated about 1,000 people so far, but less than 30% of the students choose the arrangement of the academy and become a Xu official.

Because the place of arrangement is basically Quang Nam West Road. Who wants to come here except that there is no way?

To say that they don't have any complaints about Zhao Yu, it's impossible. After all, they originally thought that they would be officials in Bianliang, and then they would not be able to serve as officials in these prefectures and counties in the Central Plains and Hebei, who would have thought that the academy run by the prince would actually fall to this point?

"Don't feel wronged, don't feel resentful! Don't ask what this king can do for you, but what you have done for this country, our Great Song Dynasty! Confucius said: 'What you ask for, so you don't work for it!' And you know what this means. In this world, there is nothing that can be obtained without work! If you want to get, you have to give, and you can get as much as you give! ”

"The king asks you, What have you paid? What did you do for Da Song? Do you feel like a loss when you get the position of the official? This king also knows that your salary is very low, and the lowest is only seven cents a day! It's only two hundred and ten wen a month, and if this money is in Bianliang, it's only enough to buy three buckets of rice, and it's not enough to feed one person! But is that why you take bribes on a large scale? This king said in the Guozi Academy that there must be a bottom line in everything! A person who has no bottom line, he only exists in the world to become a scourge! Do you still have a bottom line? ”

Many people bowed their heads in shame in Zhao Yu's words. Zhao Yu is right, they are indeed complaining.

Under Zhao Yu's thunderbolt, no one could bear it.

"What you learned in Guozi Academy, is it just like that? When you are born in the world, don't you have a little pursuit? Do you all want to get bad comments after being a servant? When you are gone, are the people lighting firecrackers as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year? Do you want to stay in this position all the time? In the past, it was said that no one would appreciate you, but now? ”

"Lord Wang! The student knows it's wrong! A soldier gritted his teeth and bravely stepped forward.

"Lord Wang! Students know it's wrong! One soldier after another stepped forward.

"This king believes in you!" Zhao Yu nodded without hesitation and said.

First with thunder, then with grace. All the officials from Guozi Academy have been returned to Zhao Yu's heart!

After getting off the high platform, Zhao Yu left.

But in fact, Zhao Yu just changed his clothes, and his face was coated with the barbarian potion that Feng Shenji secretly bought, and after applying it to his face, his white face immediately turned yellow, and then he glued his beard, unless he was very close, and he was familiar with Zhao Yu's people, otherwise no one would find out, an ordinary scholar, was actually King Wei!

On the other hand, naturally, the stand-in wore Zhao Yu's clothes, and returned to Guizhou City under the escort of several henchmen such as Yang Wenguang and Feng Shenji.

Zhao Yu did this in order to meet with Sun Pengyuan and other leaders among the students of Guozi Academy.

In addition to Sun Pengyuan, who is already well known, there are also Tian Yixian, the chief of the military case in Xuanhua County, Yongzhou, and He Wu, the secretary of Kunlun Guan, Pennsylvania. For them, Zhao Yu entered into a deep talk, asking them to set an example and bring other officials from Guozi Academy to do good things, and asked them to collect evidence of the crimes of officials and officials from all over the country.

Especially in the later requirements for collecting criminal evidence, Zhao Yu vaguely said that if those corrupt officials are overthrown, they will be promoted.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Song Renzong, if it was somewhere else, how could there be people like Sun Pengyuan and Tian Yixian on the throne?

This is not the case with Guangnan West Road, which is remote and poor because of its remote location. Basically, unless it is degrading, there are no connections, and people are offended, and not many officials come back to Guangnan West Road. Because of this, there is a vacant position, as long as Zhao Yu is recommended on the table, even if Song Renzong knows that Zhao Yu wants to install a henchman, he has no choice.

Seven or eight vacancies, you can still force some people to come, what about more than ten or twenty? Or even fifty or sixty?

In addition, Zhao Yu also secretly met with Liu Chang'an, a minister of Rongzhou, and it is said that the ancestor is still a Han clan. Liu Changan presented a complete map of mineral deposits, which Zhao Yu was very satisfied with, and it didn't take long for Liu Changan to be transferred to Guizhou as a scribe, although it was only a small promotion on the surface. Question: Although there is no big war in Rongzhou and Yizhou now, the skirmishes have not stopped, and it is inevitable that another big war will break out, who wants to stay in this dangerous place?

Compared with this small order, the civil and military officials of Guangnan West Road are more concerned about the promulgation by Zhao Yu on August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival.
