The rain is coming, the clouds are thick, and the Jingzhao Mansion at dusk is dim and depressing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info\\. qb5、c0m//
The heat before the wind and rain made Zhao Lei depressed, and the news of Wang Lun's rebellion made Zhao Lei even more worried, this is not a good sign, the Great Song Dynasty was founded for a hundred years, from the introduction of Zhancheng rice, the opening of the south of the Yangtze River, never worried about food, even after the famine, but the local official warehouses are enough to cope with the local food shortage, so there has never been a disaster because of the food rebellion, now this precedent has been broken, the example is opened, there must be ambitious people to follow the example, the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, It was because of the uprising of the victims in the Kangding period that it slowly weakened, and was finally captured by the Jin State and perished in Bianjing.
"My lord! What do we do now? When Su Xun heard the news of Wang Lun's rebellion, he also asked Zhao Lei with a worried face.
Zhao Lei looked up at the sky outside, and replied to Su Xun with a wry smile: "What else can I do!" When the wind and rain are over, I will go to Bianjing! ”
"That's it!" Su Xun continued to ask very unwillingly.
"What are you doing if you don't leave and stay here, I am neither the Jingzhao Prefect nor the Jingzhao Mansion Defense Envoy, what qualifications do I have to manage the affairs here, the Wuzhou incident back then made countless Taiwanese officials participate in my crime of overstepping my authority, isn't it enough to suffer a loss once! If you take care of the affairs of Jingzhao Mansion this time, even the official family may not be able to tolerate a courtier who overstepped her authority. Zhao Lei smiled bitterly and explained weakly to Su Xun.
"Yes! The adult has already done what he has done, hundreds of thousands of stone grains in the granary of Jingzhao Mansion South Street, enough for the people of Jingzhao Mansion to eat until next year, the price of thirty Wen, basically can be bought, as long as Jingzhao Mansion is not chaotic, Wang Lun will not become a general trend even if he occupies Linzhou. Besides, isn't Wang Lun heading south! It is estimated that he went to the mountains in the south to be a bandit, and the guy who has no ambition will disappear as soon as the army of Jingzhaofu arrives, which is not a problem! Pang Bai shook the folding fan vigorously, and said to Su Xun with a fat face full of sweat.
"You can't open it! The only thing that can be done now is to remedy it, and the adults will immediately go to the official family, and they must severely punish Wang Lun and others, and punish the three clans. All the servants were killed, and the family members must not let go, all the men were stabbed in the mines, and all the women were slain as official prostitutes. Su Xun proposed to Zhao Lei with a murderous face.
"Isn't it too heavy?" Looking at Su Xun with a murderous face, Ou Xifan next to him asked weakly in protest.
"It's better to take precautions! There are several disasters in the north, and the relief food of the imperial court has been delivered, and no one will starve to death, even if there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the imperial court will investigate and deal with it, and in this case, Wang Lun rebelled. There are hundreds of people following, which shows that those people have no kings and fathers. Not killing is not enough to shake the world! Su Xun explained bitterly to Ou Xifan.
"Okay, you don't have to argue, the court has its own conclusion on this matter, and it's useless to go up, so let's wait and talk! To quell Wang Lun's rebellion, there is no time for a few months to think about it. Zhao Lei waved his hand to interrupt Su Xun and Ou Xifan's argument.
Wow!
At this moment, a heavy rain fell from the sky, and the whole time immediately became noisy, and the various sounds of raindrops falling on the ground made Zhao Lei feel that he was standing next to the waterfall.
It's finally raining. You can only see the rainbow after the wind and rain! I wonder if I'll be able to watch the rainbow go tomorrow! Zhao Lei looked at the storm outside the window, and his heart was already on the way back.
At the beginning of August, after more than ten days of trekking, Zhao Lei and his party finally rushed back to Bianjing, the political center of the Great Song Dynasty.
"We're finally back. Bianjing is still so lively. Zhao Lei rode his horse and looked at Bianjing looming in the distance. looked at the passers-by on the official road who were unaware, and said with a smile.
"My lord, through which gate did we enter the city?" Su Xun asked Zhao Lei carefully at this time.
Su Xun's question is very sharp, ordinary people enter Bianjing from that gate is basically the same, but the court officials are particular, for example, the envoy of the envoy, after coming back, must pass through the Nanxun Gate, through the royal street to return to the imperial city, and the reinstated officials have to go to Fengqiu Gate, and the generals who go out to fight and triumph generally have to go to Wansheng Gate, but to Zhao Lei here, it is a little different, Zhao Lei returned to Beijing before the Yongxing Military Road Soldiers and Horses Festival and knew Yan'an Mansion, all the way to the military and political officials to grasp the real power in the Great Song Dynasty Zhao Lei is still the first, Whether to go to Wanshengmen or Dongshuimen to return to Beijing for officials, Su Xun is really a little confused.
Not only Su Xun was confused, but Zhao Lei was also a little confused, this time he received the will to return to Beijing to take up his post, and the will received by Xia Sui and others was to return to Beijing in triumph, but Zhao Lei was the envoy of the Yongxing Military Road Soldiers and Horses, and the Yan'an prefect who was only known later, the holy decree of the host and the guest was a little confusing.
"Go to Nanxunmen, go to the Huiguan Bureau to report, and then go back to the Zhao Mansion and wait for the official's edict." Zhao Lei pondered for a while, as if he had grasped the deep meaning of the holy decree of the host and guest, but after thinking about it carefully, he gained nothing, and finally made up his mind to say to Su Xun.
The Huiguan Bureau in Nanxunmen and the Dingli Courtyard in Dongshuimen are of the same nature, both are guest houses where officials are stayed, and they are convenient official posts for foreign officials when they return to Beijing and have nowhere to live.
Zhao Lei, Xiao Ruoruo, Su Xun, Pang Bai and more than 100 guards entered the Huiguan Bureau through Nanxun Gate, and Ou Xifan was left in Jingzhao Mansion by Zhao Lei
matter, and two hundred guards were also left to deter the local grain merchants.
After going to the Huiguan Bureau to report, looking at the surprised and admiring eyes of the officials of the Huiguan Bureau, Zhao Lei knew that it would not be long before the news of his return to Bianjing would spread throughout Bianjing, maybe the official edict would come soon, and it was more important to hurry up and go home for reunion.
………………………………
Since Zhao Lei entered the office, although there has been no major change in the Bianjing Imperial Court, a little change has made the official residential area of the West Corner Tower change greatly.
More than 100 Taiwanese officials of the Imperial Embassy Taiwan Counsel Yuan, since the imperial court operated the reward and punishment system proposed by Zhao Lei, they are like vicious dogs that bite people when they see them, and in just a few years, the Beijing officials who have completely fallen under the hands of these Taiwanese officials have reached a terrifying more than 100, that is to say, at least more than 100 official residences in Bianjing have been vacated, and most of these official residences are located in the new official residence area of Xijiaolou, so the official residential area of Xijiaolou now looks a lot depressed.
Although no one knows when the officials living in the West Corner Tower will suddenly step down, there are many friends and many roads, but they can't make friends, and leaving an impression is also a very important thing in the officialdom, so the atmosphere of Bianjing officials hanging out has always been very strong.
Although there are many officials in the official residence area of Xijiaolou, among which there are not a few important ministers, in terms of fame and prestige and court status, Pingxi General Zhao Fu recognizes the second, and it is estimated that no one dares to recognize the first.
After Zhao Lei returned from Luzon, the West Corner Tower Zhao Mansion has been renovated again, not only the various buildings in the house are more exquisite, the gatehouse, the front hall and the back house have been doubled, and all the nearby vacant land has been enclosed into the Zhao Mansion, and the area of the back garden has also been greatly increased, that is, the creeks and lakes in the house have been widened a lot, and the only thing that has not changed is probably the pair of three-meter-high stone unicorns in front of the Zhao Mansion.
Wow! The crisp sound of horses' hooves took Zhao Lei and his party back to the front of the Zhao Mansion in the West Corner Tower.
"The master is back." A porter who knew Zhao Lei saw Zhao Lei speeding over, and shouted after being surprised.
After more than two years of parting, Zhao Lei returned to his heart like an arrow, galloped to the gate of Zhao's mansion, handed over the reins of the horse to a slave who came over, and Zhao Lei walked towards the Zhao mansion inside with a body of wind and dust.
"Sir! You're back. "The first person to say hello to Zhao Lei is Hou Shan, the housekeeper of Zhao Mansion who has not been seen for a long time, and the experience of several years of housekeeper has washed away Hou Shan's frivolous market atmosphere, and now Hou Shan looks stable and capable.
"What about the ladies and children?" Zhao Lei asked Hou Shan with great concern.
"The ladies estimate that the adults will be back in the next few days, and they are all waiting in the backyard? Princess Shengguo and Miss Yang are also there, and there are two Taoist aunts who moved into the Taoist Temple in Xijiaolou the year before last. After Hou Shan briefly finished talking to Zhao Lei, he retired to greet Su Xun and the others, no longer disturbing Zhao Lei's eagerness for reunion.
………………………………
Barking!
Zhao Lei passed by the gatehouse and the front hall, just came to the back house, and after the door of the house, he heard a few vicious dog barks, a strong and tall Tibetan mastiff with a black body and a little crescent white hair on his chest, staring at Zhao Lei with a look of confusion in his eyes.
"Qingtian, come here." Zhao Lei recognized the Tibetan mastiff in front of him at a glance as his pet dog Qingtian, and when he saw Qingtian, he smiled with satisfaction, and stretched out his hand to Qingtian and shouted.
Qingtian also felt very familiar with Zhao Lei, hesitantly approached Zhao Lei, and after affirming Zhao Lei's identity, he happily jumped around Zhao Lei.
"Official!" An affectionate call with a familiar voice that made Zhao Lei dream, Tian Lan took the hostess of Zhao Mansion to Zhao Lei's side.
"Lan'er!" Looking at Tian Lan, whose eyes were red and couldn't help herself from crying, Zhao Lei hugged her into his arms hard, lowered his head and called deeply.
Tian Lan, who was in Zhao Lei's arms, finally couldn't bear the sorrow of more than two years of separation, and hugged Zhao Lei and cried.
"Official!" Zhao Lei, who was comforting Tian Lan, suddenly felt a plump and tall woman hugging him from behind, and then sobbed quietly.
"Shengguo, don't cry, didn't I come back!" Zhao Lei took out a hand to protect the princess of Shengguo and said.
"Official!" "Official!"
Bai Xinlan, Xiaocui, Sophia, Yihong, plus Shengguo and Tian Lan, six women surrounded Zhao Lei, Zhao Lei was very distressed when he looked haggard, but he couldn't have four more hands to comfort them, and then look at Yang Jinhua who looked jealous and envious next to him, the former queen Guo Wei with a thick veil in the distance, and the two Taoist aunts in Taoist robes not far behind Shengguo were actually Shang Yang and the two beauties, plus Xiao Ruoruo didn't come with Xiao Ruoruo in the front hall, oh my God! Eleven women, even ten times a night, can't stand it!
Zhao Lei has begun to regret finding so many women.
"Daddy!"
At the critical moment, it was still his son's filial piety, Zhao Feng's timid voice made Zhao Lei get out of the fat powder array, hugged his son lovingly, kissed the past one by one, and the day of reunion was really warm!
