"Hey, forget it!" Zhou Ping thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind: "At most, I will hand over the military power at that time and become Guo Ziyi, Zhao Ji is not the kind of ruthless person who rushes to kill everything, build a large garden of thousands of acres, enjoy the life of ancient dignitaries and nobles, and be poor and extravagant without anyone accusing, this is also very good!" Thinking of this, Zhou Ping lay back on the bed, at this time he suddenly seemed to be relaxed all over, and a kind face suddenly flashed in front of him, and he was smiling to himself, as if he was appreciating the choice he had just made.

In March of the third year of Xuanhe, Zhou Ping led the army back to Jeju, and greeted him outside the city gate, in addition to his own entry into the ranks of the "horizontal class", he moved to the edict from the seventh grade Xuanzhenglang, the envoy of Jingdong West Road, and his wife Yunniang, who had a big belly and was pregnant with Liujia.

"Juncheng, this is a double happiness!" Xue Liangchen smiled very heartily: "Han Xianggong has already told the court angel that you can prepare for half a month in Jeju and then go to Guide Mansion to take office!" ”

"Thank you for your understanding!" Zhou Ping hurriedly thanked the city from afar, then stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand to support Yun Niang, and said in a low voice: "It's windy outside, your body is heavy, just wait at home, why come out to greet you." ”

Yun Niang saw that her husband was so intimate in front of everyone, she couldn't help but be happy and shy, lowered her head and whispered: "What's this, the concubine's body is not muddy, the wind can blow it, and the countryside is still working in the field with a big belly?" Besides, I haven't seen her for so long, and the concubine also misses her husband very much-" Speaking of this, Yun Niang's cheeks were already crimson, like fire.

Hearing his wife say this, Zhou Ping couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. took off the robe on his body and gently put it on for Yun Niang, and said in a low voice: "The countryside is the countryside, and you are now also the wife of the official family, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the children in your belly, but you can't be so nonsense!" ”

Xue Liangchen watched Zhou Ping and Yun Niang intimacy on the side, and a smile appeared on his face, Zhou Ping was born with his own Lang Dang, and Yun Niang watched them grow up and saw that their husband and wife were harmonious. I can't say how happy I am. He looked at the sun. smiled: "Juncheng, it's not early, Han Xianggong is still waiting in the mansion, let's go into the city!" ”

"Thank you Lang Jun for reminding me!" Zhou Ping hurriedly thanked him. First let the wife dress up and get on the sedan chair. He jumped on his horse and entered the city side by side with Xue Liangchen. The sergeants who followed wrote their exploits on the cloth and held them high, followed by various trophies and rewards. The people of Jeju stood on both sides of the road, watching the rare bustle. The sergeants also felt extremely proud, all of them with their chests and bellies, and they looked like they had returned victoriously.

"Juncheng, I received the gift you sent the fourth child back to!" Xue Liangchen suddenly whispered, "It's just too heavy!" ”

"Huh!" Zhou Ping smiled: "It's just some local products, Lang Jun doesn't have to take it to heart." If there was no Lang Jun, how could I be today? It's just a matter of talking about the heart! ”

When Xue Liangchen heard this, a shadow appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice: "Juncheng, let me ask you something, you obviously did a good job in Jiangnan, and you have been defeated by the vegetable thief several times, why is Fang La still not beheaded, but you are back, but what happened?" ”

"It's nothing more than a fight for merit!" Zhou Ping showed a sneering smile on his face, he recommended the person who knew about the source cave to Tong Guan, but Tong Guan sent himself back, and let his henchmen replace the matter After explaining, he finally said: "Actually, this is also a good thing, that gang of source caves is the fundamental place of Manichaeism, if it is attacked, it will definitely be a death battle." The beast bears the hole, and a hundred people are deterred, even if they can break the thief, how many strong men who go with me can come back alive? Anyway, we have already made great achievements, and we have gained a lot of gold and silver goods, and holding on to Baotai is the right way! ”

"Juncheng is what you said!" Xue Liangchen smiled when he heard this: "But you are the one who will take advantage of the most, and you will not do anything that suffers!" ”

"Lang Jun said he was laughing!" Zhou Ping smiled slightly and asked, "Lang Jun, the imperial court asked me to be the envoy of Laoshizi Jingxi Road, as far as I know, it seems that I didn't have this official position in the past, right?" ”

"Not bad!" Xue Liangchen nodded: "This is an official position that was just established at the beginning of this year, Juncheng You went to Jiangnan, I don't know, even the hinterland of the imperial court is not peaceful this year!" Speaking of this, Xue Liangchen couldn't help but sigh, his face full of worry. It turns out that this trick to capture the envoy as the name implies, is to capture the military attache who appeases the thieves, the Northern Song Dynasty will divide the world into fifteen roads, as the financial and tax collection unit, the road agency is called the transfer department, as the name suggests, the main task of the transfer department is to transfer the financial and tax paid by the military states to the Beijing division Bianliang, itself does not have the administrative function of catching thieves, and naturally there is no Beijing Beijing West Road to recruit this official. Jingxi Road is one of the 15 roads in the world, which roughly includes the northern part of today's Jiangsu, the central and western parts of Shandong Province, the eastern part of Henan Province, and the northern part of Anhui Province. As long as you look at the map, you can know that Jingxi Jingxi Road is close to Bianliang, which can be said to be the hinterland of the Northern Song Dynasty, and a large section of the canal that is related to the life and death safety of Bianliang passes through this place. If the Fangla Rebellion in Jiangnan was a stab in the thigh for the Northern Song Dynasty, then the accident on Jingxi Road was simply a massive hemorrhage in internal organs, which was directly related to the survival of the country. The fact that the local situation has deteriorated to the point that military attachés at the state and county levels are no longer sufficient to quell the thieves, and special official posts must be set up at the road level to deal with these thieves.

"It's already that bad?" Zhou Ping frowned: "Didn't I already deal with everything on Liangshan's side when I left?" ”

"You don't understand!" Xue Liangchen sighed: "Not long ago, the imperial court inspected the world's Dingkou, and calculated the money, thinking that the Liao military expenses were levied, and the greedy officials collected additional levies, and I don't know how many. Middle-class households have a large number of broken families. There are many tyrannical people, who abandon their homes and go into the mountains and forests, thinking that they are thieves. Speaking of this, Xue Liangchen shook his head and said, "It's not that I oppose the great cause of the imperial court to restore Yanyun, it's just that Yanyun is still someone else's right now, but his own military state is in chaos, so how can this be good?" ”

Zhou Ping nodded, did not speak, Xue Liangchen said completely beyond his expectations, after all, in the primary and secondary school history textbooks he studied, only "major events" such as the conquest of Fang La, the alliance on the sea, and the southward movement of Jin soldiers will only be recorded, but these "small things" will not be recorded at all, even if Zhou Ping is recorded, it must be a passing moment, and he can't remember it at all, after all, even if it is sung in the play, they are all emperors and generals, talented and beautiful women, and there are a few farmers who go to sing in the fields!

While talking, the two had already arrived at the door of the Zhizhou Yamen, Zhou Ping saw Han Xiaoxuan standing at the door, hurriedly jumped off the horse, grabbed a few steps forward, bowed down and said: "The lower official greets the Zhizhou Prime Minister!" ”

"It's all free!" Han Xiaoxuan stepped down the steps, helped Zhou Ping up, and said, "I am really relieved to go to the imperial court this time!" ”

"It's all taught and cultivated on fair days!" Zhou Ping hurriedly thanked him. Han and Zhou pushed a few times, and finally Zhou Ping pulled down half of his shoulders and got to the hall, sat down with the guests, and didn't mention the banquet, singing and dancing.

These days in Jeju, Zhou Ping was busy entertaining guests, while packing his bags and preparing to go to Guide Mansion to take up his post. It was already mid-April when I arrived in Guide Mansion, and I fell into a sea of socializing again. At this time, he was already from the seventh rank of Xuan Zhenglang, has stepped into the ranks of the middle-level military attaché, and the treatment of Yulu has also been greatly improved, so naturally he has to put on some pomp, if he changed to other people to his position at that time, he will naturally go everywhere, with fifty or sixty pot-throwing masters, lyrics and poetry; But Zhou Ping is behind him no matter where he goes, there are forty or fifty strong men with scars on their faces and swords and bows, not like going to a banquet and entertainment, but like going to fight. So in less than half a month, he gained the reputation of a "reckless man" in the officialdom of Guide Mansion. Zhou Ping didn't bother to take care of it, except for training soldiers and training soldiers in the barracks, he was mixed with a few old officials in the transfer department.

The reason why Zhou Ping did this is very simple, this transfer division is commonly known as Cao Division, which holds the responsibility of the transfer of wealth from all walks of life in the world, and has great power, in order to prevent the transfer of all roads from making it bigger. Therefore, the central government of the Northern Song Dynasty increased the frequency of transfer by various routes, and generally one or two would be replaced. Therefore, in fact, it is the scribes of these houses who know best about the Dingkou of each state capital, the special products, the amount of finance and taxes, and the cost of transshipment. If Zhou Ping knew about the Bing Valley, the first person to ask for advice was these old officials.

On this day, he had just returned from the barracks, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Li Bao come forward and say: "The best Zen master is here!" ”

"Really?" Zhou Ping was overjoyed, hurriedly threw the horsewhip in his hand to others, walked into the mansion quickly, and said loudly: "Why don't you send someone to announce it as soon as possible, and you can meet you outside the city!" ”

The best Zen master's clothes and shoes have a lot of wrinkles on his face compared to years ago, but he looks a lot older. Seeing Zhou Ping coming, he hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "How dare the poor monk, an uninvited villain, be a personal greeting!" Speaking of this, he looked Xia Zhouping up and down, with a satisfied smile on his face: "I have heard Liangchen say about your affairs in Jiangnan, and he is a hero in the world, and he stands out in the spine!" But after a few years, this is the weather. ”

"The Zen master smiled!" Zhou Ping patted the table on the side, pointed to the thick stack of documents on it and said with a wry smile: "I just arrived, Jingdong West Road is full of bandits, these are the urgent documents of various military states, but the soldiers in my hands are still less than 500 people brought from Jeju, and they are at a loss!" ”

Zhou Ping was babbling there complaining about how the garrison forbidden army and the township soldiers in Guide Mansion were unusable, and how difficult it was for the boss of the Yamen to deal with him, and he found that the other party had no reaction after talking for a while, and when he looked closely, he found that Zhishan's eyebrows were tightly locked, and his eyes were dull, as if he was already thinking about other things. (To be continued......)
