Zi said: For politics and morality, such as Beichen, live in its place, and all the stars are together. Guide the government, all with morality, and the people are free and shameless. Guide it with virtue, with courtesy, shame and ......"
He was Ding Wei's right attendant in the military department and Yang Sichang, the governor of Xuanda, and he read the "Analects - On Politics".
Since Ding Wei was at home, he did not dilute the scroll in his hands, and read the "Analects" every day, although Ding Wei was at home, he always paid attention to the changes in the court situation.
Zhao Pu of the Song Dynasty was known as half of the Analects to rule the world, Yang Sichang was very conceited, he thought that his talent was not inferior to Zhao Pu, and he also wanted to learn from Zhao Pu and find out the way to govern the Ming Dynasty from the book Analects.
Yang Sichang, the word is weak, the number is slight, and he is a native of Ballast Slope, Wuling County, Hunan. In the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, his father was Yang He, the governor of the three sides. Yang Sichang and his father Yang He were both known as military supervisors. Under the influence of family style, Yang Sichang devoted himself to studying since he was a child, immersed himself in the imperial examination, and was promoted in the 34th year of Wanli (1606), and in the 38th year of Wanli (1610), he entered the scholar and the first, and started his political career. He has successively served as a professor of Hangzhou Fuxue and a member of the Jiangxi Department of the Ministry of Households.
In August of the first year of Taichang (1620), he was promoted to Langzhong, and from December of the same year to May of the second year of the Apocalypse (1622), he moved to Nanjing.
In the first year of Chongzhen (1628), Yang Sichang patrolled Ruzhou Road, Henan, added the right to participate in politics, and soon moved to Bazhou Road, and moved to the internal supervision of the military garrison in September of the fourth year of Chongzhen (1631).
In September of the seventh year of Chongzhen (1634), he was promoted to the right attendant of the military department and the governor of the three towns of Xuanda Shanxi.
Chongzhen served as the secretary of the Ministry of War for ten years, suppressed the peasant rebels with the strategy of "four positive and six corners" and "ten-sided net", and recommended Prime Minister Xiong Wencan for military affairs in six provinces. Later, due to Xiong Wencan's dereliction of duty, he personally went out to Beijing to supervise the division, but was restrained by Zhang Xianzhong's tactics of walking to the enemy, and he was exhausted. At that time, he was seriously ill, and after King Wenxiang was killed, he died of illness because he felt ashamed of the trust of Emperor Chongzhen.
Yang Sichang was studying, and his son Yang Sansong walked in, glanced at him, and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Yang Sichang put down the book, glanced at his son, and said with a smile: "Song'er, do you have anything wrong?" ”
"Father, haven't you always longed to return to the court and work as an official? Yesterday, His Majesty sent someone to deliver the holy decree for the second time, and asked you to be the secretary of the military department, why did you still refuse? Yang Sansong asked puzzled.
Glancing at his son, Yang Sichang shook his head and said, "Song'er, now, it's not the right time for me to return to the imperial court. ”
"Why do you say that?" Yang Sansong said suspiciously.
Picking up the tea and taking a sip, Yang Sichang said: "I am now worrying about Ding, if Your Majesty sends a decree, I will immediately agree to come down, giving people the feeling that I can't wait to return to the imperial court, which will attract criticism from officials, and now Zhang Fengyi has just died, and everyone is still full of accusations against the military department. ”
After listening to his father's words, Yang Sansong understood.
Nodding, he said admiringly: "You can still see it." After saying this, after a pause, Yang Sansong said: "Father, although what you said makes sense, aren't you afraid that you will never have a chance to return to the court in the future?" ”
With a smug smile, Yang Sichang said: "It's not for my father to boast, now among the members of the court, there are a few people who have the ability to be a father Today's chaos, I'm afraid only my father has the ability to solve it, I conclude that Your Majesty will send someone again, Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms in order to invite Zhuge Kongming out of the mountain, but three times the thatched hut, today's chaos, it is difficult to act without heavy power, and the things that are easy to get are often not cherished, if Your Majesty really needs me to go out of the mountain, he will also send someone to invite me." ”
"Father, if Your Majesty doesn't invite you out of the mountain again, then what are you going to do?" Yang Sansong asked
After being silent for a while, Yang Sichang said: "If that's the case, my father will end up in the countryside." However, I think Your Majesty will definitely invite me out of the mountain again."
Hearing this, Yang Sansong looked at him and walked out with a smile.
Zi said: "If you hear more and are suspicious, and be cautious about the rest, you will be very little." See more and less, and be cautious about the rest, and regret it. Words are widowed, deeds are regretful, Lu is in it......" The sound of Yang Sichang reading came from the room again.
A day later, Zhao Guohua led the loyal corps to march to a place less than 20 miles away from Kaifeng, and the team set up camp to settle down.
"I want to go to Kaifeng City for a walk, I wonder who is interested in accompanying me?" Zhao Guohua said
"I'm going too! …… I'm going to ...... too," everyone scrambled to sign up.
Seeing this, after thinking for a while, Zhao Guohua said: "It's obviously not okay for everyone to go, so let's do it, Cheng Chong and Lu Qing stay to control the troops, and the rest will do their jobs, I'll just take Niu Huan and Liu Guangzu there." ”
After listening to his arrangement, everyone went their separate ways.
After changing clothes, Zhao Guohua took Niu Huan and Liu Guangzu to gallop towards Kaifeng.
Kaifeng is referred to as Bian, known as Tokyo and Bianjing in ancient times, and is the ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties. It is located in the eastern part of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River Plain, in the central and eastern part of Henan Province, connected to Shangqiu in the east, adjacent to Zhengzhou in the west, Xuchang and Zhoukou in the south, and Xinxiang across the Yellow River in the north.
In the 8th century B.C., Zheng Zhuang Gong in the Spring and Autumn Period built a granary city near Zhuxian Town in the south of Kaifeng City, taking the meaning of "opening up and sealing the territory", and named it Kaifeng.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, in order to avoid the name of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty, Kaifeng was renamed "Kaifeng", which is the origin of "Kaifeng".
Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty built virtue for five years, changed Liangzhou to Bianzhou, which was the beginning of Kaifeng called Bian.
During the Five Dynasties, it was called the "Eastern Capital" or "Tokyo", and Kaifeng officially replaced Luoyang as the political, economic, cultural, and military center of that period.
The Northern Song Dynasty was the most glorious and dazzling period in the history of Kaifeng, with a prosperous economy, a rich world, a population of more than one million, beautiful scenery, and a magnificent city, which was one of the most prosperous metropolises in the world at that time. The history books even describe Kaifeng with "eight famines, all countries are salty".
The Northern Song Dynasty painter Zhang Zeduan's work "Qingming Riverside Map" depicts the prosperous and lively scene and beautiful natural scenery on both sides of the Bianliang River in the capital during the Qingming Dynasty.
In 1379 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang's fifth son, Zhu Hu, was named King of Zhou.
Approaching the city gate, I saw a wide suspension bridge placed on the wide moat, there are railings on both sides of the bridge, two thick legs of the rope extend to the top of the city, there is a row of sergeants standing on the city wall, the suspension bridge is full of traffic, personnel come and go non-stop, it seems very lively and busy.
On either side of the gate, a dozen soldiers stood with swords and guns in their hands, perhaps in the north, and there was a hint of vigilance in the eyes of the soldiers.
Looking at the tall and heavy city wall that is more than ten meters high, and the moat that is wide and deep and almost boatable, Zhao Guohua couldn't help but praise: "It is worthy of being the ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties." Such a city, if Song Huizong's father and son were not of a bad breed and had a little courage to fight, it would be difficult for the Jin State to attack it. ”
Kaifeng is known as the "northern water city", and there are many rivers in the territory, which belong to the two major water systems of the Yellow River and the Huai River. Therefore, the moat was also built wide and deep.
"Yes, if Song Huizong's father and son dare to fight, then there will be no shame in Jingkang." Liu Guangzu said.
The horses ridden by the three of them were tall and handsome, especially the one ridden by Zhao Guohua was dressed in white hair, with a black circle of four hooves, and he was extraordinarily handsome. This horse turned out to be Yanguli's mount, which was selected and naturally not bad, which could not help but attract the attention of the officers and soldiers guarding the gate.
"These three people are a little different, everyone pay attention." The officers and soldiers guarding the door whispered orders to their subordinates.
Because there were many pedestrians on the suspension bridge, and there were many carriages and carts, the three of them had to get off the horse and lead them into it on foot
"What are you guys doing, do you have a way?" The hundred households guarding the door asked loudly:
Glancing at him, Zhao Guohua said: "There is no road lead, but I have this." As he spoke, he handed over the glittering gold waist card. Baihu took it and took a look, the gold-plated silver medal, Duyunlong, knew that this was a five-grade officer.
After a few careful glances, he returned the waist card.
"Thank you." Zhao Guohua said, smiled, took the waist card, and walked in with the other two people leading the horse.
Looking at the backs of the three of them, the hundred-household officer scolded in a low voice: "Fuck, a five-grade petty official, a proud fart." ”
When I entered Kaifeng City, I saw that the flow of people was bustling, and the streets on both sides were full of civil and engineering houses and shops, which were close to each other. These buildings are mostly two-storey, occasionally some of the first floors are mixed in between, the streets are full of all kinds of stalls on both sides, many hawkers are selling one after another, the aroma of various snacks, the heat is mixed, the sound of silk and bamboo, the sound of singing music is faintly during the period, such a lively scene, as if the local product street of the county in later generations.
"Guangzu, have you ever been to Kaifeng?" Zhao Guohua asked.
Liu Guangzu said with a smile: "A few years ago, how would I know that the place where we rested halfway yesterday was the site of the Chenqiao Mutiny." ”
"Okay, we'll follow you, you say, do you want to eat first or visit this Kaifeng City first?" Zhao Guohua asked.
Giggling, Liu Guangzu said: "This is for the general, if you are hungry, then eat first, if you are not hungry, then go shopping first, there are still a lot of fun places in Kaifeng." ”
"Oh? You say come and hear it. Zhao Guohua said.
