Chapter 68 Giving the Word

Zhou Ping looked at Xue Liangchen's serious face, and there was a huge sense of powerlessness in his body. Since the crossing, everyone he has met has a common view on one issue, that is, he unswervingly believes that the Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty is dedicated to the country and cares for the people, and if the court does anything bad, it must be the Son of Heaven who has deceived the Shengming, as long as the Son of Heaven knows the truth, he will definitely put things in order immediately. On this issue, there is no difference between the farmers in Longshang, the people in the market, or even the thieves who gather in the mountains and forests, and even Ruan Xiaoqi, a natural rebel who kills people without blinking, sings after drinking, "Behead the corrupt officials first, and the Jingshi will dedicate it to Zhao Wangjun!" In the bottom of my heart, I didn't dare to have the slightest disrespect for the Son of Heaven. This kind of trust and reverence for the Son of Heaven has almost penetrated into the bone marrow of the people at that time, and even mixed with the love for their own country, culture, and nation. Now Zhou Ping can finally understand why when Yue Fei was unjustly killed, not only did he not dare to resist, but instead recruited his son and his cronies to join him, so as not to raise an army to resist because he was killed. As a famous minister in ancient times said: "Rulers and ministers, heaven and earth, heaven and earth, heaven and earth, heaven and earth, how can you escape?" ”

"But the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty is precisely because of this versatile Emperor Huizong!" Zhou Ping lamented in his heart, even if he didn't spend too much energy in this period of history in his previous life, he knew that the sudden demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was completely different from the situation at the end of the Han Dynasty, the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the end of the Ming Dynasty. However, the Northern Song Dynasty was a middle-aged man in his prime, who suddenly died of food poisoning in his prime. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the end of the Ming Dynasty, a common denominator was that the imperial court had lost the hearts of the people at the bottom, and there were large-scale peasant uprisings internally. However, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, when the Jin army went south, the people of the Northern Song Dynasty spontaneously organized the righteous army Qin Wang, and this resistance lasted for a long time, making the Jin army unable to control Henan for a long time, which was extremely rare in ancient China. At that time, it was not without careerists with different surnames who tried to claim the throne, but no one could get the support of the great Song scholars and the common people, and soon collapsed under the attack of the Song army, and even the Jin State, as an enemy party, had to admit that the hearts of the people of the Southern Dynasty were still in the Zhao family, and its country was immortal. This deep love of the people of the Northern Song Dynasty for their motherland is the real reason why the ruling group headed by Zhao Gou can still hold half of the country after crossing to the south, but the sad thing is that it is also because of this love that Zhao Ji and his son can do a series of absurd things, which led to the great disaster of the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty; Zhao Gou was also able to unjustly kill the general for his own selfish interests and destroy the good situation of the Northern Expedition.

"Ah Ping, how are you going to deal with this Gonggong Wu?" Xue Liangchen saw Zhou Ping standing there in a daze, and asked in a low voice.

"Oh, he said that he would set up a village on Liangshan to guard it, and there was a shortage of manpower, so I said that I would let him come to the yamen to select people, so that Li Cheng and Kong Yanzhou could give them multiple steps to advance!"

"It's good!" Xue Liangchen nodded: "Gonggong Wu is Taifu Yang's person, Xianggong can push it back, we can't afford to offend." Li Cheng and their multiple opportunities to get promoted, it was not in vain that they came to Jeju with me! Speaking of this, he smiled: "Anyway, I finally got this errand of Song Jiang done, thanks to you, Ah Ping!" ”

"If it weren't for the father-in-law and Lang Jun, how would I be today!" Zhou Ping said with a smile.

"Okay, very good, my father really didn't mistake you!" Hearing Zhou Ping's answer, Xue Liangchen laughed and patted the other party's shoulder gently: "Do you remember the face of the Supreme Zen Master and our four brothers?" He said that all four of us can be state and county governors, and he said that it was because of you. At the time, we all thought it was just a charlatan who cheated on wine and food. Now it seems that we don't know Tarzan with our eyes. I'm now a state soldier and horse prison, and after ten years, I can be a capital prisoner, a bell or something, which is really undreamable! ”

Zhou Ping looked at the flowers around him, and listened to Xue Liangchen telling himself about the expectation of becoming an official and becoming a knight, and suddenly had a ridiculous feeling. At this time, thousands of kilometers in the north was going on a war that would determine the survival of a huge empire, and these people in the Great Song Dynasty from top to bottom were pretending to be how to release brown and purple (referring to promotions, brown is the clothes of ordinary civilians, and purple is high-ranking officials), don't they know that no matter which side wins the war in the north, it means that the Great Song Dynasty will face this terrible enemy? In that land that has been devastated by the war, every surviving man is a soldier, and they will turn their greedy eyes to the rich south, and use the plundered wealth to make up for the losses caused by the war, and the Great Song Manchu Dynasty is ready? Zhou Ping's heart was full of questions.

A few days later, Jeju Hanfu.

"Prison Zhou, Xianggong is in the study, let you come and go directly to see him!" The servant said respectfully.

"Hmm!" Zhou Ping nodded and walked towards the study, the door of the study was hidden, Zhou Ping pushed the door and went in to see Han Xiaoxuan writing in front of the desk under the light, and hurriedly stood aside with his hands down. A few minutes later, Han Xiaoxuan put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "Prison Zhou, there are documents coming from Tokyo, and I want to set up a water village on Liangshan Island in Liangshanbo to pacify the local area, and I am ready to recommend you to the imperial court as a zhizhai." ”

"Recommend me?" Zhou Ping was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect to be suddenly invited by Han Xiaoxuan for this, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Not bad!" Han Xiaoxuan nodded and said, he thought that Zhou Ping was a little unhappy because he wanted to go to the island from the position of deputy prisoner to be a high-level and low-level Zhizhai, and hurriedly comforted: "You don't know, this official also had to do this for the sake of the people of Liangshanbo!" Speaking of this, Han Xiaoxuan stood up: "You don't know, I'm afraid that the matter of setting up a water village on Liangshan was made by Mrs. Yang, in order to collect taxes in Liangshan Bofeng Lake and exploit the people!" ”

"Of course I know whose idea it was!" Zhou Ping said secretly, but his face could only pretend to be ignorant. Seeing Zhou Ping's appearance, Han Xiaoxuan sighed and said, "I won't say anything else, and you won't understand it for a while." It's just that if the position of this Zhizhai falls into the hands of the annihilation party, I am afraid that the people of Liangshanbo will be poisoned by it. And I am wronged that you stay in the position of Zhizhai for a term, and I will have my own arrangements at that time! ”

"The villain is now said to be cultivated by the public, and he should obey his fate!" Zhou Ping bowed down and answered, but secretly he was happy, although he was rich in the current position of deputy soldier and horse supervisor in Jeju, he had no real power, and he wanted to do something in the intertwined garrison forbidden army with his qualifications, and those with vested interests could play to death at will. But it's different to be a Zhizhai, it's good to start from scratch, and there are far fewer people who hinder you. Thinking of this, Zhou Ping asked: "It's just that the villain is shallow in the army, and he comes from a humble background, and he doesn't have any competent people around him——"

"The military athletes brought from Xiangzhou this time, as long as you are competent, you can bring them!" Seeing Zhou Ping like this, Han Xiaoxuan was in a good mood and happily agreed to Zhou Ping's request: "If there is any lack of weapons and armor, you can also report it to all, and the official will agree!" ”

"Thank you!" Zhou Ping hurriedly thanked him: "Xiaguan has an idea, although Song [***] Kou will be caricatured, there are still many scattered water thieves in Liangshanbo. They are also the sons of the imperial court, and the lower officials want to issue documents, and if they agree to recruit them within the time limit, they will be exempted from criminal responsibility, and their strong ones will be selected as soldiers, and the old and weak will be self-sufficient, I don't know what the public thinks! ”

"That's great!" Han Xiaoxuan nodded happily: "Ah Ping, you haven't started a word yet, you are also an official of the imperial court now, if there is not a word that is not like a word, how about this official give you a word?" ”

"Thank you for the word!" Zhou Ping hurriedly thanked him.

"Those who are equal, they are equal, and those who are superior must wait for the lower to be the same before they can succeed. Why don't you call it Juncheng! Zhou Prison, what do you think? Han Xiaoxuan said with a smile.

"Even, even!" Zhou Ping repeated it twice, got up and saluted: "Thank you for the word!" ”

"Hmm!" Han Xiaoxuan smiled and nodded: "Juncheng, when you become the governor of Liangshan Water Village, you have to be careful of Wu Mu Wu Gonggong who mentioned what Kuotian did, even if you can't let him go too far in Liangshanbo, you can't tear your face with it, you know?" “

"Xiaguan knows!" Zhou Ping frowned and replied, it seems that the seat of this Liangshan Zhizhai is also a hot place!

The Liao State went to Beijing Linhuang Mansion, and the site was in the south of Dongzhen, Bahrain Left Banner, Inner Mongolia. In the third year of the Liao State Divine Book (918 AD), Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji built the West Building as the capital in the Khitan hometown along the Huang River, and ordered the captive Han Kang Mo to preside over the project, which took 100 days to complete. Subsequently, several emperors of the Liao State expanded the city many times, and placed the Han people plundered from the Central Plains to build workshops, making it the economic, political and cultural center of the Liao State at that time. The Khitan big characters, Khitan small characters, and the "Prison Law" of the Liao State were all founded when they went to Beijing. With the development of the Great Liao Empire, the Khitans conquered the east and west, and the scope of control continued to expand. The center of gravity of its rule gradually changed from the Shangjing Linhuang Mansion in the bitter cold land outside the Saiwai to the Shangjing Linhuang Mansion, but the temple representing the Liao Emperor Yelu clan and the palace of Taizu were still retained in the Shangjing Linhuang Mansion. The palace tents of the Liao Emperors of the past dynasties had to come to worship every year, which still had extremely important political and spiritual significance for the Great Liao Empire. But like everything in the world, no matter how powerful an empire is, there will be a day of decline, and in May of the second year of Xuanhe (1120 AD), the army of the Jin State established by the emerging female direct clan has entered Linhuang Mansion, and the smoke and dust splashed by the hooves of the unrivaled horses are like black clouds in the sky, enveloping the ancient capital of the Khitan Empire. Seeing that many readers in the discussion area asked me about the next plot, please allow Weber to keep it a secret first, otherwise it will be boring to spoil it. As for the readers' concerns and suggestions, Weber is very grateful for everyone's support, but it is my job to make up stories, and I believe that Weber still has some strengths in this regard.
