Dong Huai, a native of Dingyuan County, under the jurisdiction of Luzhou Prefecture, was a famous prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the sixth year of Jiading, in 1213 A.D., Dong Huai was admitted to the Jinshi, entered the imperial court, became the minister of the court, until the third year of Baoyou, was appointed as the right prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, and concurrently served as the privy envoy, when he served as the right prime minister, he established the country and the state, appointed people on the basis of merit, and did a lot of good things that were beneficial to the country. Third, the high-ranking officials in the capital do not restrain their subordinates and allow them to do unscrupulous behavior, which must be rectified. It's a pity that these three suggestions were not adopted by the emperor.

Because of these three suggestions, Dong Huai encountered the crazy calculations and false accusations of the treacherous in the court, and finally the emperor believed these slanders and dismissed Dong Huai as the right prime minister and privy envoy.

And the one who calculated and framed Dong Huai was the most famous traitor Ding Daquan in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The evaluation of Dong Huai in history is: diligent and upright, outstanding political achievements, and famous for the government and the opposition.

This is a very high rating.

When the fourth master talked about Dong Huai, Wu Shaogang was very surprised, in his imagination, Dong Huai, who was dismissed, should have returned to his hometown, if there was no emperor's decree, or without the invitation of high-ranking officials in the court, he would not come to the capital, after all, the situation in the capital is too complicated, and if you don't pay attention to it, you are likely to get into trouble.

There was almost no hesitation, Wu Shaogang agreed to meet Dong Huai immediately.

The fourth master immediately stated that he would make arrangements as soon as possible after Dong Huai came to the capital.

Although the fourth master did not explain why Dong Huai came to the capital, nor did he clearly say the relationship between himself and Dong Huai, Wu Shaogang still relied on the historical knowledge in his mind and made a basic judgment, Dong Huai went to the capital, which should have a certain relationship with Ding Daquan's dismissal.

As for what Dong Huai came to the capital for, Wu Shaogang couldn't speculate for the time being.

However, Wu Shaogang didn't have much hope for this meeting, he just wanted to talk to Dong Huai to see if he could learn something, after all, it was also a rare opportunity to meet this famous prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, maybe he could feel the demeanor of the famous ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty from Dong Huai's body, as for letting Dong Huai help him make contributions, such a luxury should not be had, Dong Huai has been the right prime minister and privy envoy in the court, even if he is removed from his official position, his mind is in the emperor and the court, It is better to die than to be loyal, and the pedantry of the scholar must be fully revealed in him.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Penglai Building.

When Wu Shao just entered the private room on the third floor, he saw a girl playing the stringed piano, and an old man with a clear face, stroking his beard, was enjoying the music.

Appreciating the stringed piano is called elegance, which is a hobby of many officials and scholars, but there are not many who can really appreciate it.

The girl was playing very attentively, and she didn't notice Wu Shaogang and the fourth master who entered the private room.

When the fourth master was about to speak, Wu Shaogang waved his hand and signaled not to speak at this moment.

It took a quarter of an hour for the girl to finish playing.

The girl who finished playing got up and saluted Wu Shaogang and the fourth master, and then withdrew from the private room.

"Fourth master, is this the young man you introduced to the old man, gentle and elegant, knowledgeable, I don't know why such a young man did not take the imperial examination, but entered the army to serve."

The old man probably noticed Wu Shaogang and the fourth master a long time ago, but because he was intoxicated by the sound of the piano, he didn't greet him, which should be a very rude move in the eyes of some people.

Before the fourth master could speak, Wu Shaogang picked up the topic.

"The family is poor, unable to participate in the imperial examination, can only enter the army to serve, and finally can reduce some of the burden for the family, but in the next opinion, the court and the army, the civil ministers and military generals, are all for the country, should not be separated from each other, if you blindly emphasize literature and light martial arts, then my Southern Song Dynasty, I am afraid it will be difficult to preserve."

The old man looked at Wu Shaogang fiercely, and a trace of coldness shot through his eyes.

"Young man, that's right, hundreds of years have passed, the shame of Jingkang is still haunting many people's hearts, if there is no strong army, it is really difficult to protect this great country."

It was only at this time that the fourth master found an opportunity to speak.

"Lord Dong, this is Wu Shaogang, the deputy general of the urging army under the front division of the palace, Deputy General Wu, this is Lord Dong Huai."

"It's better to be famous than to meet, it's really extraordinary, fourth master, your vision has grown greatly, Vice General Wu, the old man is older, and he has some old qualifications, I hope you don't have any ideas."

"Lord Dong is an elder, the elders and young are orderly, they cannot be disordered, and they should be respected in front of Lord Dong."

At this moment, Dong Huai was really surprised.

In just a few words, Wu Shaogang's temperament and maturity greatly exceeded his expectations, not to mention that Wu Shaogang was only 16 years old, but to say that this deputy general in the army, because of his poor family background, could not participate in the imperial examination, and his true knowledge could not be profound, but the temperament he just showed, as well as his words that were neither arrogant nor humble, even many officials of the DPRK and China who came out of the imperial examination could not do it.

After standing up, Dong Huai spoke again.

"I heard that the fourth master talked about Vice General Wu, the old man thought that Vice General Wu was a strong general in the army, and he must be a burly and powerful man, and he didn't expect Vice General Wu to be elegant and elegant, neither arrogant nor humble, if he didn't know the identity of Vice General Wu, the old man really couldn't believe that Vice General Wu had fought on the battlefield, which made the opponent cold, come, please sit down."

Dong Huai is observing Wu Shaogang, and Wu Shaogang is also observing Dong Huai.

He found that Dong Huai was not a pedantic master.

In fact, this is also Wu Shaogang's misunderstanding, he has read a lot of novels and TV series before crossing, and he has a relatively fixed understanding of the ministers of civil and military affairs in ancient times.

Besides, most of the novels and TV series that the traveler has read before are depicting the civil and military ministers of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and you must know that the ministers of the Ming and Qing dynasties are facing a very different environment from today.

Zhu Xi, the master of the scientific thought, was originally the minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the scientific thought of "preserving the principles of heaven and destroying people's desires" advocated by him has not yet occupied the mainstream, and now Zhu Xi has only passed away for 60 years, and his "Annotations on the Collection of Four Books and Chapters and Sentences" has not yet become the source of the imperial examination, so the ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty have a much higher degree of freedom.

What's more critical is that in the Tang and Song dynasties, feudal centralization had not yet reached its peak, the majesty of the emperor was not supreme, and the ministers of civil and military affairs also had their own ideas.

The times are different, and the performance of the ministers of civil and military affairs and many officials is naturally different.

After watching Wu Shaogang sit down generously, Dong Huai spoke with a smile.

"Just now the old man was enjoying this "Gusu Hate", the lyrics and music are impassioned, and there are not many people who like to listen to it, but the old man likes this song alone, every time he hears it, he will think of a lot of things, I don't know what Vice General Wu thinks of this song."

Wu Shaogang was a little confused, he didn't have the slightest interest in the string piano, let alone a hobby in this area, but the first thing Dong Huai asked about was the repertoire.

It's not interesting to blindly go along with it, and Wu Shaogang doesn't have that kind of character.

"Lord Dong, I have always grown up in the village, and I can read books in my spare time, even if it is very good, as for appreciating the string piano, it is really unattainable, so I am very unfamiliar with the string piano, and I can't answer Mr. Dong's inquiry."

"What I said is that in the poor mountains, it is good to be able to survive, where is there still leisure to enjoy the strings, the old man is smiling."

"I don't mean this in the next, Lord Dong's reminder, I remember in the next place, since I have come to the capital, I must be able to appreciate the strings."

。。。

The fourth master never spoke, probably because he felt that this kind of conversation was a little difficult, so it was better not to speak.

However, the fourth master's respectful expression, Wu Shaogang saw it in his eyes, and it was the first time he saw the fourth master show such a look, it seems that the relationship between the fourth master and Dong Huai is by no means ordinary, and the two should have been friends for a long time.

Dong Huai has always been an official in the court and has a noble status, how could he have an intersection with the fourth master floating in the rivers and lakes, this is a very interesting thing.

It wasn't until the wine and food came up that the fourth master spoke, nothing more than telling Dr. Cha and Wine to be careful, and the dishes and the like must be the best.

The fourth master is the owner and shopkeeper of Penglai Building, and it is natural to order these things.

During this process, Dong Huai did not speak, or even be polite.

This situation is very intriguing, as if all this done by the fourth master is taken for granted.

I don't know why, Wu Shaogang at this moment suddenly thought of the guild, when Huang Maosheng talked about the guild, he said that there were four people in charge of the guild, and there were three people in front of the fourth master, could it be that Dong Huai was one of them.

However, this idea is difficult to affirm, you must know that Dong Huai's former identity is not ordinary, you are the right prime minister and privy envoy in the court, how can such an identity have any intersection with the guild, and Dong Huai was squeezed out by Ding Daquan and others, if there is an unusual relationship between him and the guild, then the guild may also suffer a blow.

Wu Shaogang had a lot of possibilities in his mind, but in the end he denied them one by one, and at this time, he felt that the guild was not ordinary, I am afraid that it was not just an organization on the rivers and lakes.
