Chapter 032: The Last Shift

In the Wende Palace, Zhao Kuangyin is opening a feast, discussing knowledge with Lu Duoxun and several scholars, today's topic is "rites", several scholars quote scriptures, Jun Li, Father Li, Fu Li, especially the content of Jun Wei Chengang, it is really whimsical, whip into it.

And Lu Duoxun is also the messenger of the Inner History Museum at the moment, so he has already heard about the articles and classics that Zhao Kuangyin has read in the past two days, and saw today's feast, the official family brought Princess Yongqing to accompany him for the first time, and Zhao Kuangyin's mind has been like a candle, so he has a target, casually speaking, all of them are husbands and wives, husbands and wives sing with their wives, and husbands and wives respect each other like guests. How to get along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the common sense that everything is expensive in the future, is favored by Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded frequently when he heard it, and interrupted his words from time to time to ask, and a gentleman and a minister answered it with a good interest, and heard someone at the door of the hall wailing: "Zhongguan, this official has something important to see the emperor, and the time for the banquet has passed......"

Zhao Kuangyin vaguely heard the voice, turned his head to look at the hourglass on the side, and couldn't help laughing: "The speculation I talked about with all Aiqing actually forgot the time, hehe, okay, okay, today's feast is here, all Aiqing, please retreat." ”

"Yes, the ministers are leaving." Lu Duoxun and the others hurriedly left the table to salute Zhao Kuangyin and retreated one by one.

Zhao Kuangyin sat up straight, coughed and said, "Who is making noise outside the hall?" ”

The inner servants all knew that Wang Jien swept the dust, and hurriedly approached the outside of the hall, and after a while, he came back with a strange expression, and said with a twitch in his cheeks: "Official, the prince Yunzhong Zhang Xun is waiting outside the palace." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Kuangyin said suspiciously: "What is he doing here?" Not...... Declare him in. ”

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "Daughter, have you listened to the truth that Lu Xiang and several scholars said?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin didn't see Yongqing answering, turned his head and saw that Princess Yongqing on the side was still supporting her with one arm on several cases, holding her chin with her palm, and she listened with relish. Zhao Kuangyin curiously looked at the face she covered with her palm, only to see Yongqing with his eyes closed, the corners of his mouth curled, his breathing faintly, and he was dreaming of Zhou Gong.

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but be angry and funny when he saw it, he slapped the bookcase and shouted, "It's time to wake up." ”

"Huh?" Princess Yongqing opened her eyes sleepily and said happily: "Are you done?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: "I listened to "Li" today, not for you? Last year, the soldiers went out to Fujian and Han and Jiangnan, and there were many wars, and even your marriage was delayed, and now it is time for you to handle it. When your royal brother returns victoriously, I will arrange a marriage for you, and in the future, you will marry a wife, a wife, and serve your in-laws. Who knows you...... Alas......"

Princess Yongqing yawned and said, "Oh, don't worry, Daddy, my daughter will definitely learn etiquette well." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: "Are you asleep and studying? ”

Yongqing said confidently: "Spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking, and several scholars are always the same, yes, my daughter fell asleep......"

"Oh? So summer ......"

"In the summer heat, when eating ice melon, sleeping on a mattress, lying in the wind pavilion, getting used to the wind, a big dream ......, ouch...... Daddy, you're hitting me again......"

Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: "Then when do you say you should learn etiquette, if you don't learn etiquette, you don't know etiquette, you don't know etiquette, you don't know etiquette, and rude people ......."

"Official, the new Dahonglu Yang Hao is rude!"

"Official, the new Dahonglu Yang Hao is rude!"

Zhao Kuangyin turned his head to look at it, and couldn't help but be taken aback, only to see that the crown prince Yunzhong Zhang Xun was wearing a crumpled court dress, wearing an official hat on his head, only one side of the hat wings, a bruise on his face, and a dry blood stain under his nose, supported by one hand, as if holding an invisible broken bowl.

Princess Yongqing laughed and quickly covered her mouth.

Zhang Xun stepped forward, saw the driver with a sad face, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Official, the new Dahonglu Yang Hao is rude!" ”

"Huh? What happened to him? ”

"The official family, the official family, the new Dahonglu Yang Hao is rude!"

"Alright, alright, I know he's rude, he's ...... How rude? ”

Zhang Xun cried and said with a sad face: "This is not what the minister said......

"Who said that?"

"The official family, the official family, the new Dahonglu Yang Hao is rude!"

As soon as Zhao Kuangyin looked up, he found that it was the parrot standing in Chengchen to learn his tongue, and he couldn't help but flick his sleeves angrily and said, "Don't pay attention to it." You say, how is he rude? ”

Zhang Xun swallowed his saliva and said, "Your Majesty, the marquis who disobeyed his order borrowed five hundred yuan from his ministers, and said that he would make a profit of sixty or three cents at the beginning of this month, and return it with interest. However, the disobedient Hou did not repay the debt, and the subordinate went to his house to collect debts, and the disobedient Hou took a golden basin to repay the debt. As a result, Da Honglu passed there, and he didn't know why, so he dragged a lame leg and jumped out of the car, picked up the basin and beat the minister......"

Princess Yongqing laughed again and quickly covered her mouth.

The parrot on Chengchen seemed to have just woken up, it shook its tail, and said in a subtle way: "Drag a lame leg and jump out of the car, pick up the basin ......, drag a lame leg to jump out of the car, pick up the basin ......"

Zhao Kuangyin rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Yongqing, blast this cheap bird of yours out!" ”

Princess Yongqing smiled, and hurriedly "shhhh......h

In the hall, Zhao Kuangyin asked Zhang Xun about what happened, and couldn't help but be furious, and said: "Killing people to pay for your life, and paying off debts, this is a matter of course, besides, even if you are at fault, what does this matter have to do with him?" The dignified court officials actually scuffled and fought in the street, losing all their official appearance, which is too unusual! ”

Zhang Xun said with a sad face: "Official, the minister didn't fight with Lord Yang in the street, it was Lord Yang who beat him as a minister, and the minister didn't fight back, you see, this is the minister's teeth......" As he spoke, he stretched his hand forward.

Zhao Kuangyin was even more furious: "This Yang Hao is really a kingless law, he should be severely punished, he should be severely punished." ”

Zhang Yi said with tears: "Ask the official family to be the master of the minister." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "That's natural, I will definitely punish him severely, and give Zhang Qing a fair one, Zhang Qing can rest assured." Zhao Kuangyin said viciously, and said to Zhang Xun with a pleasant face: "Zhang Aiqing knows the general situation, and he doesn't have the same general knowledge as that rough person, very good, very good, in the end, he is a scholar, alas, the character cultivation of people who don't know etiquette can't be compared with you." Zhang Aiqing, what do you look like now...... Let's go back to the house to recuperate first, I already know about this, and I will never tolerate him, what about you, you don't need to go to court these days, and you will talk about it when the injury is healed. ”

Zhang Xun hurriedly thanked the emperor for his grace and said generously: "The ministers eat the court and serve this official family, and they are only slightly injured, so why worry about it, the ministers will not miss their official affairs because of this." ”

These words are righteous and strict, but unfortunately there are two missing front teeth, which is a bit leaky to say, and the effect is inevitably greatly reduced.

Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "Aiqing is loyal to the country, and I am very comforted." Aiqing hurry back to the house to rest, I will give you justice in this matter. ”

After Zhang Xun retreated with gratitude, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but shake his head and scolded with a smile: "This Yang Hao has a bit of the appearance of pulling out a knife to help when I was wandering the rivers and lakes, but...... As an official of the imperial court, he is in the habit of the rivers and lakes, which is not possible, but his character is excellent, but it is a pity that he ...... He became a cripple......"

Zhao Kuangyin added another sentence in his heart: "It's a pity that he is not from the right background, and he is a member of the Nanya faction, otherwise, such loyalty and goodness can be used by me." ”

Princess Yongqing sat up straight and said, "That Yang Hao...... The bad white fish he gave was really delicious, this person's character was really good, alas, a very good person, why was he lame? But...... Daddy, this Zhang Yu is too contemptible, no matter how Li Yu says it, he is his old master, he used to be his king, and now he is chasing debts, and he actually forced Li Yu to take a basin to offset the account, and he is too poor and evil, which is really chilling. ”

Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly and said: "This person's character is indeed contemptible, but this person's talent is indeed not bad. People make the best use of their talents and make the best use of things, and the emperor should have the mind to accommodate all rivers. This Yang Hao, I want to teach him a good lesson. ”

Princess Yongqing said: "Daddy, Yang Hao beat Zhang Xun violently, but he is not ashamed of his character, if Daddy severely punishes him, I am afraid that it will chill the heart of the world's loyalty." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "King Khitanqing rebelled, if my father joined forces with him, it would be a great benefit to my Song Kingdom, but because he was a chaotic minister and thief, my father would definitely not make peace with him." Now that Yang Hao has done it, how can his father be too harsh? ”

"And what is Daddy going to do about this?"

"Hmm...... Dad punished him for three months...... No! Punish him for half a year......"

"Half a year? That's a lot! ”

"For others, of course, it's a lot, but for Yang Hao, it's just a drop in the bucket. His daughter smiled and made money every day, do you still care about this money? ”

Zhao Kuangyin snorted coldly, and said: "King Qian is about to enter the capital again, I asked him to preside over the reception of this matter, and then he retired as the official position of Honglu Siqing." At such an age, he is in Jiuqing, and I don't treat him badly. Okay, okay, you don't care about the affairs of the court, take this back, and memorize it for me within three days. ”

Yongqing took it and asked, "What is it?" ”

She opened it and couldn't help screaming: "The Female Commandment? Daddy, that's more than a thousand words! ”

Zhao Kuangyin stiffened his face and said, "How many words are more than a thousand words?" "The Female Rule" has more than 30,000 words, and it only took the queen half a month to memorize it backwards. ”

His tone softened, and he said earnestly: "Yongqing, you are about to get married, and you are still so naughty and ignorant of etiquette, so how can it be done?" Even if you are a princess, once you become a wife, you must serve your in-laws, serve your husband, take care of your family, and be a good wife and mother. This "Female Commandment", you must not only memorize it, but also savor and ponder it, and truly remember it in your heart. Take it and study hard! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ the Song Dynasty held a grand banquet and welcomed King Wu Yue Qian with unprecedented grand specifications.

The scale of the pilgrimage to Beijing of Wuyue King Qian Jiao is also unprecedented, with more than 20 large ships, filled with all kinds of tributes, including at least 300,000 taels of gold, 200,000 horses of silk, 50,000 catties, 5,000 pieces of gold and jade treasures, and thousands of bottles of fine wine...... It seems that Qian Jiao, the king of Wuyue, is determined to belong to the Great Song Dynasty, he brought his wife Sun and his eldest son Qian Weijun here, and made it clear that as long as Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict, he would stay in Kaifeng and give Wu Yue away.

The ministers all know that this time the emperor's eldest son Dezhao led the army to the north, and he will inevitably return, Chen Hongjin of southern Fujian, after the Southern Han Kingdom fell into the hands of the Song State, he was attacked on his back, and he has obediently submitted to the soft, looking at the entire Central Plains, only Wu Yue is still a complete state power, so they have gone to the secret and asked the official family to issue an order to comfort Qian Jiao, and the world will be unified.

But Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what to think about, so he didn't send any of the twists and turns, and he didn't say anything about this matter, but just asked Yang Hao to treat Qian Jiao with the largest specifications.

Yang Hao was suspended for half a year, although the court's Yulu was rich, of course it was an indifferent punishment for him. These days, he asked Miaomiao to gradually transfer the business of Yixiaolou to Zhang Niuer and Lao Hei. Let Dong'er, Yuluo, and Miaomiao make all the preparations for moving.

During this period of time, Luo Kedi came to look for Yuluo when he had spare time, which made Yuluo, who had the intention to be estranged from him, but had no excuse, was very embarrassed, but fortunately, Luo Kedi was now the commander of the infantry army, responsible for the safety of the entire imperial city, and the military affairs were busy, so there was not much time to come to find her, which made her reluctant to prevaricate.

Niu Qianwei's general Li Zhongyu was limited to the predicament of the Hou Mansion, and really asked for Yang Hao's door, Yang Hao generously donated money and funded it, which for Li Zhongyu who was in trouble, there was a great sense of seeing the truth in adversity, so the friendship with Yang Hao became deeper and deeper.

Yang Hao did not use money for nothing, although he did not ask Li Yu for a penny of interest, and did not urge the return of the borrowed money, but often invited the couple to visit the "daughter country" for shopping, although Li Yu is now a phoenix with wings, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and his fame is still there.

In addition, Xiao Zhouhou is as beautiful as a peach and plum, known as the first beauty in the south of the Yangtze River. When she was in Jiangnan, she led the flow of clothing and jewelry in Jiangnan, but where Xiao Zhouhou liked the clothing and jade, it must soon be popular in the entire Jiangnan, to Kaifeng, this idol effect is still unabated, Yang Hao took the couple to enjoy the 'daughter country', and then gave them some expensive gifts, attracting the wealthy gentry of Kaifeng, so that the daughter of the daughter of the "daughter country" flocked to the "daughter country", and Li Yu, the lord of Jiangnan, and Xiao Zhouhou, the first beauty in Jiangnan, were proud of using the same brand of clothing and jewelry. This time, the income of the "daughter country" has increased exponentially, and the profit has far exceeded Yang Hao's gift to Li Yu.

In the first few days of Yang Hao's return to Kaifeng, the commotion caused by the return of the dead had subsided, and the arrangements for receiving and accepting the remuneration and the banquet had also stopped, so he invited a few "famous doctors" to treat him, and got the proof that the leg injury was difficult to heal and reported to the official family, and once again earnestly resigned, and now he has received a positive reply from Zhao Kuangyin: After the return of King Wu Yueqian, he was allowed to take the official position of Dahonglu.

Yang Hao was overjoyed, so he stabilized his mind and handled the matter of welcoming Wu Yue Qianjiao in a down-to-earth manner.

Today's state banquet is grand and grand, all the important people with heads and faces have arrived, the hall is full of cups, and the guests and hosts are happy. Zhao Kuangyin, who had drunk a few more cups, blushed, got up with a smile and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, all the secretaries, I am overjoyed to have the King of Money come to the dynasty today." King Qian has always been respectful to me, how can I be less polite to King Qian? Today, I have given King Qian two special gifts. ”

When Qian Jiao heard this, he hurriedly left the table to listen to the order, Zhao Kuangyin raised a finger and said: "First, from today onwards, King Qian will be in the dynasty, and he can go to the palace with a sword, and the edict will not be named. ”

Hearing this, Qian Jiao hurriedly bent his waist deeper, and said in fear: "The minister is panicked, thank Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said again: "Second, with the imperial court system, canonize the wife of King Qian, Sun as the princess, King Qian's eldest son Wei Jun as the prince, and King Qian's daughters as the county lord. ”

Qian Jiao was stunned for a moment, leaned over deeply and said: "Your Majesty Longen, it is unprecedented, and the minister does not dare to accept it." ”

Lu Duoxun, Lu Yuqing, and Xue Juzheng, the three prime ministers, exchanged heads and ears, and neither of them had heard of such a special case in the previous dynasty, so Lu Yuqing got up and said: "Your Majesty loves King Qian, and the ministers know it, but Qin ordered to canonize the wives of princes with different surnames as concubines, and there has never been such an allusion, it seems that ...... There are some inappropriateness, the imperial court system cannot be easily changed, and His Majesty is asked to withdraw the order. ”

Zhao Kuangyin disagreed, and said with a smile: "Grace is out of me, why not?" ”

Zhao Guangyi smiled faintly and said: "You don't need to say it anymore, the official family is the co-master of the world, and what the official family says, we should obey it." ”

Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed and said with a smile: "What King Jin said is reasonable, so he will be sealed according to this reason." Guangyi, come near, you and King Qian should meet as brothers. ”

Qian Jiao was frightened, and waved his hand again and again: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister is afraid." ”

Zhao Guangyi stepped forward happily and said with a smile: "Guangyi has seen Brother Wang. ”

Qian Yu cried with gratitude, shook hands with Zhao Guangyi, and tears rippled.

Yang Hao watched coldly with a cup, but he didn't believe that Zhao Guangyi, who had always thought that he was under the official family, would gladly accept Qian Jiao, the old man, as his brother.

At the beginning, between the two Zhao brothers, he originally admired Zhao Da's character more, so he despised Zhao Er, so it was obvious that he was born in Nanya, and he relied on Zhao Er to have a more future, and he was always like leaving Zhao Er, giving up many opportunities, and never becoming his confidant.

Now it's even different, he promised Bisu to create an opportunity to hand over to him the culprit who single-handedly created the Jiangzhou bloody case and killed Shuiyue, and when he looked at Zhao Guangyi, he was naturally a little hostile.

Qian Jiao looked at Zhao Kuangyin with tears in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty treats the ministers with courtesy, and the ministers really don't know what to repay." In the early autumn of this year, the ministers ...... The minister will come to see His Majesty again. ”

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said: "The road is far and inconvenient, and if you have an edict, you don't need to make a special trip to see you." ”

Lu Duoxun, Lu Yuqing and the others quietly exchanged glances, and the Emperor Miza of the hundred officials had already seen it, could it be ...... The emperor still wants to put Qian Jiao back? A country's territory is clearly at your fingertips, what are the officials doing in the end? ”

After the ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ banquet was over, Zhao Kuangyin personally sent Qian Jiao out of the palace, and ordered the two royal brothers of King Jin and Zhao Guangmei to personally send him back to the concierge house, which was extremely courteous. After the group left the noon gate and the hundred officials dismissed, Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Yang Hao and asked, "Yang Qing, is the last thing I want you to do?" ”

"Yes, the minister is ready."

"Well...... you come with me."

Yang Hao followed Zhao Kuangyin back to the palace, went straight to the interior, and arrived at an independent palace shaded by trees, and the chamberlain knew that Wang Jien was standing there respectfully holding an imperial silk package, and when he saw Zhao Kuangyin, he saluted and said: "Official." ”

Zhao Kuangyin bowed slightly, and Wang Jien followed behind him and walked side by side with Yang Hao.

The hall was empty, there was no one, and when he reached the heavy curtain, Zhao Kuangyin stopped, and Yang Hao limped forward and gently pulled the curtain open. I saw that the curtain was empty, and only the stone tablet was erected.

There are only two big words on the stele: "Commandment Stone!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin walked in gently, went around to the back of the stele and stood still, only to see the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing on the stele, which was carved out of the three lines of big characters in Zhao Kuangyin's own imperial book.

Zhao Kuangyin gently stroked the big characters on the stele, Yang Hao stood aside, unconsciously held his breath, and looked at the mysterious stele from his hand in awe.

"All the descendants of the Chai clan shall not be punished if they are guilty. Even if there is a great sin of treason, it is not permissible to be connected to the whole clan, but only to be put to death in prison, not to be killed in the city.

"It is forbidden to kill the doctor who writes and speaks."

"If the descendants have this oath, the sky will die."

Zhao Kuangyin was angry, and felt that the most unworthy person in this life was the Chai family, and the first article on the oath monument was to Zhao Song to survive for a day, and he had to treat the descendants of the Chai family well, and this article was listed as the first on his oath monument. The second is related to state affairs, since ancient times, even Tang Taizong, who is known for his humble advice, is only his personal style of managing government affairs, not the rules of the imperial court, but Zhao Kuangyin regarded it as the rules of the Song Dynasty.

In the era of imperial power, it was not easy to dare to speak directly to the emperor, with this article, the way of admonishment and impeachment can be relatively smooth, which is of great benefit to the emperor on top, at that time, a feudal emperor can have such insight, it is extremely valuable.

"This matter cannot be heard by anyone. After the completion of this monument, my Zhao descendants Dan Fan ascended the throne as the emperor, can be led by illiterate eunuchs here, worship, read the oath. ”

Yang Hao and Wang Jien, who were standing outside the curtain, said yes, and Zhao Kuangyin said: "The craftsman who carved the stone tablet paid him a large sum of money and strictly instructed them not to divulge this matter. ”

"Yes." Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin intended to leave, Yang Hao hurriedly took a yellow silk and draped it for the stele.

Zhao Kuangyin walked out and said to Yang Hao: "The things in this box are the secret notes that the hundreds of officials in the court advised me to leave King Qian, and when King Qian returns to China, you will hand it over to him, so that he can only look at it on the way." ”

"Yes." Yang Hao hesitated for a moment and said, "King Qian already has the intention of returning, why don't the officials keep him now?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly and said: "In the future, King Qian made a wish to the gods and Buddhas, if he returned safely, he would build a tower and return the tower. If he is forcibly kept, although King Qian is willing to return, there are still people who want to rebel against him. Wu Yue has always been respectful to me, and he has never rebelled, and I don't want Wu Yue to be like Jiangnan to start another military disaster. In time, more and more people of Wu Yue will see the general trend, and it will be more appropriate to accept Wu Yue at that time, so as to ensure that Wu Yue's glory will not be destroyed in the war. ”

Yang Hao said sincerely: "Your Majesty is merciful. ”

Zhao Kuangyin smiled faintly, glanced at him and said, "But the King of Jin thinks that I am doing this because of the kindness of a woman." ”

He sighed, raised his eyes to look ahead, and said in a loud voice: "Killing is to stop killing, not to show prestige." As the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, although it is brilliant, it is the people of the world who suffer. I am Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin is just Zhao Kuangyin, I don't need to follow the example of others, my world, I use my method to govern! ”

When he walked to the noon gate, Yang Hao sighed softly, he really hoped that Zhao Kuangyin could live peacefully, but he didn't know when the brother who was in Zhao Kuangyin's brotherhood would do it, and whether he would be able to succeed? In his heart, he would rather be an enemy of Zhao Guangyi than an opponent of Zhao Kuangyin.

No matter what, his own path has to go on, just like the official said, everyone is himself, he has his own way to go, there is no need to follow the shadow of others, now all the errands have been done, after leaving office, he will also return. Now, it's time for a showdown with Roque...... Yang Hao thought all the way, walked out of the noon gate all the way, and inadvertently glanced at the guard standing guard at the noon gate, faintly feeling a strange feeling, but he was thinking about how to talk to Luo Kedi and ensure that he would let him know the truth when he left safely, so he didn't think deeply, so he boarded the car and left...
