Chapter 236: Into Gui

Chapter 236 into Gui

In mid-February of the second year of Baoyuan.

It was drizzling outside, and the faint smell of incense lingered in the room, Zhao Yu stood in front of the threshold fixedly, looking at the drizzle outside the door.

On the side is an incense case, on which is an incense burner, and the red sandalwood incense that has not yet burned out. The most dazzling thing is a bright yellow edict, which is placed on the incense table at random.

Gongsun Xuanxu silently walked to Zhao Yu's side and comforted: "Lord Wang, although I am going to Lingnan, this may not be a good thing. Being an official in the DPRK and China is certainly majestic, but you must be cautious and walk on thin ice everywhere. ”

Zhao Yu showed a slightly weird bitter smile. "In the third year of Jingyou, the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui (Yang Shufei's nickname) died of illness, and in the past half a year, Yan Wenying no longer served the sixth brother in the name of old age and was in charge of the affairs of the inner court. But only half a year later, Yan Wenying, Yan Shiliang's father and son were demoted. After half a year, Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng attacked each other, and both were degraded. Sixth brother! Sixth brother! Did you acquiesce to what happened in the first place? ”

Although Gongsun Xuanxu has been instigating Zhao Yu, he doesn't know what to say in the face of Zhao Yu's question. Only with silence came to deal with Zhao Yu's voice and didn't know who to ask.

Zhao Yu let out a long sigh, turned around, spread out the edict, and said with a self-deprecating face: "The sixth brother is really a lot of money in order to appease the king!" Defend the King! Guangnan West Road pacification envoy and knowledge of Guizhou! Plus the champion general! This champion general is really loud, but it's a pity that he is just a military officer of the third grade! ”

After a pause, Zhao Yu pointed to the holy decree and said with a smile: "My master's article is good!" 'Tin is destined to play. Wei Zhenyidi. Deeply attached to Yuan Rong's Jun Martyrdom Xuan Huaxia. 'It is worthy of the Sanyuan Gong of Lianzhong Sanyuan! ”

Gongsun Xuanxu sighed. Said: "Lord Wang." If you are like this, how can your subordinates raise their spirits! ”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "That's it!" That's it! Now you go and get ready to salute and set off for Quang Nam West Road! By the way, prepare two copies of Cheng Yiyin. ”

Gongsun Xuanxu was stunned and asked, "Two copies of Cheng Yi silver?" Lord, what's wrong? ”

"Send Cheng Lin and Kong Daofu!" After that, Zhao Yu smiled bitterly. said: "Get in touch with this king, the two of them are not far from degrading!" ”

Sure enough, not long after the dispute in this early dynasty fell, there was a small official in Kaifeng Mansion who committed a crime in April, but this official was Cheng Lin's confidant when he was the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture. And there is a corruption case that implicates Cheng Lin, in fact, this corruption case is not big, the embezzled money is only worth a hundred yuan, in the eyes of the officials, such a little money is really not enough.

However, Song Renzong tried this case with Zhang Shixun, what is the relationship between Zhang Shixun and Cheng Lin? Right! It's not just Zhang Shixun, even Cheng Lin knows that Song Renzong intends to belittle himself. It's just not over yet. Zhang Shixun was unwilling to just belittle Cheng Lin alone, and wanted to take the opportunity to sweep Kong Daofu, the old stubborn, out of the court. Let's catch them all.

Zhang Shixun used a trick to reveal the news of his chief trial to Kong Daofu. Kong Daofu knew the stakes, and he knew that Song Renzong was abolishing the public for personal reasons, so he was naturally angry! went to the palace to find Song Renzong, and sprayed Song Renzong with a scolding. Song Renzong was originally not interested in Kong Daofu's assistance to Cheng Lin that day, but now he actually sued the wicked person to spray me first? Coupled with Zhang Shixun fanning the flames on the side, Song Renzong was furious and thought that Cheng Lin and Kong Daofu had formed a party and degraded both of them out of the court.

Cheng Lin, who participated in the political affairs of the governor, was dismissed as Guangluqing, Zhiyingzhou, and Confucius Daofu in the imperial history, and went out of Yunzhou.

After Kong Daofu arrived in Yunzhou, why didn't he understand that he had fallen for Zhang Shixun's strategy at this time? Filled with anger, he couldn't let go of the depression in his heart, and it didn't take long for him to get sick, and he died of illness after being a governor in Yunzhou for a month.

When Zhao Yu found out, he sighed, but there was nothing he could do about it. The only thing that can be done is to ask Zhao Cai, who is in charge of managing his property in Bianliang City, to fund some money for Cheng Lin's family and Kong Daofu's orphans.

However, Song Renzong is a face-loving person, and it may also be because of a trace of family affection, Song Renzong did not do things absolutely without it. In Zhao Yu, he wanted to transfer Feng Shenji, the governor of Jiangling Prefecture, to pacify the envoy as a counselor and judge of Guizhou.

In addition, Zhao Yu also regained his generals. Because of Ding Wei, Wang Qi and other fierce generals have already gone to the northwest as officials, and Zhao Huanwu is loyal to Zhao Yingwu, but Zhao Yingwu is more than loyal and lacks ability. Therefore, Zhao Yu recruited the disciples of the sect to serve as the pacification envoy.

However, Zhao Yu was not indiscriminate, and there were not many generals who were recruited, only Yang Wenguang of Tianbo Mansion and Li Shouzhong, the son of Li Hanchao, a famous general in the early Song Dynasty. However, these two people have their own strengths, Yang Wenguang is calm and can be literate and martial. Li Shouzhong's ability is still weak, but he can endure hardships, and he is on par with the diet of soldiers in the army, and he is very popular with the army.

In addition, Song Renzong also sent two battalions of forbidden troops to accompany Zhao Yu to Lingnan, and halfway through, Yan Shiliang was sent to bear the horse for the Guangnan West Road.

This is not counting, Song Renzong didn't know if he was too jealous of Zhao Yu, and appointed Wang Ranbo, the deputy envoy of Guangnan West Road, and the capital supervisor of Guangnan West Road. There is no military power to bear the horse, but it is complicated to be the eyes and ears of the emperor, and there is a recital to the emperor every month. Of course, the twists and turns that the horse endured had a great influence on the pacification envoy.

The Metropolitan Supervisor was in charge of the stationing, training, armament, and border defense of the forbidden army on the road.

And Wang Ranbo! Zhang Shixun is also a friend of the world!

Zhao Yu turned a blind eye to all this, and took two battalions of forbidden troops to eat and sleep all the way. I finally arrived in Guizhou, and it was already April 21. In the north, this is just a cool early summer, but the weather in the south is hot, and it is not the dry heat in the north, but the humid heat, when the group came to the city of Guizhou, the clothes were wet, and the crotch mount was also sweaty, which made people feel uncomfortable.

As soon as he came to the city, he was greeted by officials.

It's not that these officials don't know the prophet, but as early as when they entered Quang Nam West Road, there were already soldiers stationed at the tax office to report it.

An old man in a vermilion official robe greeted him, although this old man is old, he is still full of majestic spirit, although he wears a civilian robe, he has a decisive momentum of a military general.

At a glance, Zhao Yu knew that the person who came was the Guangnan West Road transfer envoy, the Xishang Pavilion envoy, and the Guizhou Zhizhou Cao Keming. Cao Keming is also a disciple of Jiangmen, and he is the son of Cao Guangshi, the famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty and the inspection envoy of Xia Zhuzhou, Cao Guangshi's most bullish thing is to attack Li Jiqian for thousands of miles and capture his mother and wife.

Who is Li Jiqian? The founder of Western Xia, that is, Li Yuanhao's grandfather, is very bullish.

It's just that Cao Keming is not as bullish as his father, and this Anhua chaos has a lot to do with him. In the first two years, Anhuaman had already made a rebellion, when Guangnan West Road pacified the capital supervisor Ma Yu and sent troops, defeated Anhuaman, and prepared to exterminate his clan.

Cao Keming believed that it was ominous to kill prisoners, and there were many barbarians on Guangnan West Road. If the extermination of the clan is carried out, I am afraid that it will arouse hatred, and no one dares to surrender anymore.

Unexpectedly, Cao Keming's intentions did not agree with An Huaman, and after a year of recuperation, An Huaman was bent on revenge, and made trouble again, which also caught the officials and soldiers off guard.

Su Shen, the governor of Yizhou, said, "The state is too tolerant. He also said that "transshipment makes sex soft and not conducive to the edge." "Cao Keming was transferred out this time, and Su Shen also contributed a lot, but Cao Keming was really inappropriate in handling this matter.

No matter what the reason, Zhao Yu still has a lot of respect for this old man who can be said to have dedicated almost half of his life to Guangnan West Road. Cao Keming has been stationed on Guangnan West Road for almost 30 years! It must be known that Guangnan West Road at that time was not a paradise on earth.

"Xiaguan Guangnan West Road Transfer Envoy, Xishang Pavilion Gate Envoy, Guizhou Governor Cao Keming and Guangnan West Road officials, see King Wei!" Cao Keming's voice was like a bell, and he was proud.

Zhao Yu hurriedly turned over and dismounted, helped Cao Keming, who had already done half a salute, and said: "Cao Gongzhiyi, this king admires it very much, how dare you accept the full salute?" ”

Cao Keming stubbornly took a step back and made another move. Zhao Yu had no choice but to accept this gift.

Cao Keming straightened his waist and said: "This time Anhua is chaotic, and it is the fault of the lower officials!" How dare you speak up if you wear a sinful body? ”

Zhao Yu smiled bitterly and said, "The Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion (Guan Yu) is still defeated and left Maicheng!" Not to mention Cao Gong? ”

Seeing that Zhao Yu's comfort did not seem to be fake, Cao Keming's tense face eased slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "What the prince said is very true, but the evening is not guaranteed, and the official is already like ashes." Trouble the prince to go to the yamen to hand over now, and the official will return to Shu. ”

Cao Keming was a native of Yazhou, Sichuan (now Ya'an), although he made a mistake this time, but considering his many days of credit, the imperial court let Cao Keming return to Yazhou as the governor, which was regarded as making him old and returning to his hometown.

Zhao Yu also understood Cao Keming's thoughts, and he was not reluctant, after Cao Keming introduced a few leading officials, he accompanied Cao Keming to the Yamen of the Transshipment Envoy, in fact, it was said that it was the Transshipment Envoy Siyamen, but because the Transshipment Envoy basically served as the governor of the state, it was also the state government of Guizhou.

After the handover, Zhao Yu asked Zhao Yingwu to take him to send Cao Keming on a trip.

It's not that Zhao Yu wants to get rid of Cao Keming, but that Cao Keming insists on leaving on the same day, Zhao Yu keeps a few words, seeing that it is useless, and he is not reluctant. originally wanted to set up a banquet to say goodbye, but Cao Keming said: "Today's Anhua is in turmoil, the people of Guangnan West Road are panicking, and the prince goes to Guangnan West Road, which is the time to calm the hearts of the people. ”

Zhao Yu also felt that it made sense, and after the basic handover, he left the scribe to check the account books and household registration. And Zhao Yu is to convene important civil and military officials on Guangnan West Road in the White Tiger Hall, but there is no need to worry, in order to welcome Zhao Yu, everyone on Guangnan West Road who has a little status is here. Even the generals who were on the front line did not come, they all sent their deputies. (To be continued......)
