But Liu Gang somewhat undermined some of Lingnan's plans.

In order to save his life, Liu Gang became more and more shameless, and used pearl knots to saddle leather horses as a dragon, and dedicated it to Zhao Kuangyin. This is the Song Dynasty, the status of craftsmen is still very low, and the general scholars are ashamed to cook, and they are craftsmen. Song Jiu is also a craftsman, but it can't be regarded as a kitsch and a knack. Liu Gang is not only a craftsman, but also a real trick, think about his identity. Zhao Kuangyin showed the dragon pearl saddle horse to the engineers, because of the exquisiteness, the engineers were shocked after seeing it, and asked who this was weaving, it was too powerful. Zhao Kuangyin shook his head, the things woven by a monarch actually scared all the workers to such a point, and took 1,500 yuan to pay for their value, and said: "Liu Gang is so skillful, as a pseudo lord of the country, can't the people of the country be accustomed to it, if they move to govern the country, they will perish!" ”

The ministers said yes, and Chu Zhaofu also said: "Yes, the same engineering, craftsmanship, different results." ”

At this time, he missed Song Jiu very much, with Song Jiu in the third division, how comfortable he was, eating tea all day long, bragging, OK. Now that it is handed over to Judge Wang, he has to work hard.

Liu Gang used more poisonous wine in the country to give his subordinates, after coming to the Song Dynasty, he was very well-behaved, even early dynasty or other banquets, he arrived before anyone else, one day Zhao Kuangyin was fortunate to talk about Wuchi, from the official did not gather, he was the first to come first. Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but laugh when he saw this person's shamelessness, and happily rewarded him with a glass of wine to eat.

Liu Gang was suspicious, raised his wine glass and cried, saying: "The ministers inherited the inheritance of their grandfather, refused to disobey the imperial court, and the labor kings crusaded against them, and the crime deserved death, but His Majesty did not kill the ministers." Now I see that the world is peaceful, and I am willing to cloth clothes for the beams. With the grace of His Majesty, the ministers did not dare to drink this wine. ”

In fact, part of it is that he has done too many bad things. The weakness of the heart is partly because of Meng Chang's death.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I put my heart in the belly. How could there be such a thing? ”

Grab the glass and take a sip. and then for him to check the wine, Liu Gang gradually. But with such a king, what kind of ministers will there be? Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin became suspicious.

After this incident, Zhao Kuangyin issued another edict, after being selected by Lingnan, it was not good, and the puppet officials who were retained must write a book policy, and those who were slightly better in the book judgment were awarded the Zuo, Linglu, and Book Captain. Shangzuo is the governor of each state, Linglu is the county order and the record of the military secretary and other positions, and Bo Lieutenant is the county lord Bo and the county lieutenant. That is, after Lingnan is gradually selected and eliminated, it has to go through the imperial court to read its book policy before it can be retained as an official official.

Lingnan is gradually on the right track.

But it can't be called on the right track, the Song Dynasty can make the people return to the heart of the main region is the eastern region, as Yan Tong said, the influence of the western region is very weak, including Song Jiu went to Yongzhou. The people were just curious, and did not say anything welcome.

If you don't move, you will inevitably hurt the interests of some people.

In particular, many Southern Han officials have been removed in recent months, including Deng Cunzhong, the former governor of Guangzhou. Speaking of officials, most of them are eunuchs. Deng Cunzhong was also a eunuch, and he was not convinced. then used his influence in Yongzhou to communicate with Zhou Siqiong, an old general of the Southern Han Dynasty. Mai Hanqiong, Minister Le Fan and others instigated the surrounding areas of Yongzhou and Rongzhou. More than 20,000 barbarians were mobilized to attack Yongzhou City. Moreover, this person is very clever, and before the attack, all roads are blocked together, so that Guangzhou will not get the news.

Then more than 20,000 troops attacked Yongzhou, Fan Yu was not easy to provoke, took the initiative to lead the army to fight, an arrow hit him in the chest, did not die, still urged his subordinates to fight, defeated the rebels, and then covered the people outside the city into the city in time. There were too few native soldiers in his hands, less than a thousand, so he had no choice but to defend the city and send envoys to Guangzhou to rescue.

Fifteen envoys were sent before the news was sent to Guangzhou. Lingnan is too big and sparsely populated, Deng Cunzhong blocked the road, and it took many days for Guangzhou to learn. But these are more than 20,000 barbarian soldiers, and they still have to concentrate troops and horses and prepare logistics.

Originally, the officials in Guangzhou were busy in a mess, and this added to the chaos. Yin Chongke was furious and said, "I will personally go to the crusade. ”

Zhao Kuangyin also heard about this in the capital, and sent the envoy Li Shenyou to supervise the battle.

By the time Yin Chongke led the army to come, Yongzhou had been besieged for more than 70 days. Yin Chongke does not have many troops in his hands, but there is mainly no cooperation from the people, although Deng Cunzhong has many soldiers, and he is still a brave barbarian, he can't become a climate. was quickly defeated by Yin Chongke, just to kill the chickens and monkeys, Yin Chongke led the army to chase and suppress, including these Han officials to kill together, as well as some unruly barbarians, also attacked with soldiers and horses, and destroyed them one by one. This rebellion gave Pan Mei Song Jiu a great opportunity.

Yan Tong said that Qinjiang, Qinzhou is not very easy to do at this time, most of them are barbarians, and there are very few Han people, so they dare not develop it, for fear of a civil uprising. This counterinsurgency just extended the aftermath to the Leizhou Peninsula and the Qinjiang Delta. But the barbarians are still the number one problem in Quang Nam, this time they took the initiative to rebel, if they don't take the initiative, they can't fight, for fear of provoking the barbarians to rebel together, they can't coax, the more coaxing, the more arrogant.

This is a matter for Lingnan officials.

The imperial court didn't care too much, so many armies in the Southern Han Dynasty were wiped out, and there were a few small barbarian troops. It was only an edict to recall Fan Yu, who had been edicted, back to the capital to recuperate from his injuries, and in order to commend him, let the people carry Fan Yu back with his shoulders.

And this year was an eventful year for the Song Dynasty.

First, the Yellow River was decided in Yuanwu County, Zhengzhou, and the land of hundreds of miles suddenly became an ocean.

The Yellow River is annoying enough, Bianshui comes to join in the fun, and then Bianshui decides in Gushu County, Songzhou. Gushu County broke the mouth and filled it, and Songcheng County broke the river again. The entire Songzhou submerged half of the people's homes. Songzhou is Yingtianfu, which was one of the most important areas in the Song Dynasty, and also one of the important commercial and economic food areas, with tens of thousands of people.

Two river duels, how much damage is there.

Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to issue an edict to relieve the victims, not thousands of households, these are tens of thousands of households, Chu Zhaofu heard these news, and his hair turned white.

But the crisis has not yet been resolved.

In September, the autumn rains are still continuous, and the water of the Yellow River rises higher and higher. Another accident happened, the Yellow River burst its embankment from Lanzhou to the eastward to Yunpu, and hundreds of people were flooded from Henan to Yunzhou and Puzhou, and countless people's fields were flooded.

Compared with the two major river breaks in the Northern Song Dynasty later, these accidents were nothing.

But then a story happened.

The year before last, Yao Shu, the judge of Kaifeng, visited Zhao Pu because of affairs, and it happened that Zhao Pu was entertaining guests, and everyone knew about the dispute between the two Zhaos. His porter knows more about the road, and he also knows a few cronies on Zhao Kuangyi's card. Including Yao Shu. This person is a powerful general in the hands of Zhao Kuangyi.

Love the house and Wu, hate the house and Wu. The porter sneered and ignored him. Zhao Pu humiliated him, and a small porter also came to humiliate, Yao Shu was furious, brushed his sleeves away, and the porter reported it. When Zhao Pu heard this, he immediately sent someone to apologize. This controversy is also placed below, and on the surface it can't be done too much, people are Kaifeng judges and regular counselors. If you even go up to your own porter and slap your face, it will be a little bad to spread the news.

The servant chased after him, if Zhao Pu caught up, it would be fine, Guan Jian was a servant, and the servant's attitude was not very sincere, Yao Shu was even more angry, you ignore me, I ignore you, ignore it, and leave. Zhao Pu was furious. It gives you face, and you have to get to know each other a little. Can't kill Zhao Kuangyi, can't you still kill you? It happened that the imperial court asked Du Xianzhao to know Lanzhou and choose the general judgment of Lanzhou, so Zhao Pu said: "Your Majesty." You can let Kaifeng Judge Yao Shu go. ”

Zhao Kuangyi heard that it was not good, he could still protect himself in the capital, and it was Zhao Pu's world in the local area. If you don't get it right, you will become the second Feng Zhan, so you are against it. The objection is invalid. Let Zhao Kuangyin be sent to Lanzhou.

Zhao Kuangyi secretly told you to be careful after you go down. Anyone else can't believe it, otherwise it will end badly. Yao Shu listened to Zhao Kuangyi's advice, so he was very careful below, Zhao Pu couldn't catch the handle and was helpless, and he was safe for more than a year.

Because of the continuous river disasters in recent years, Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict that if there is a disaster, it must be reported to the imperial court so that it can be dealt with in time. The Yellow River was decided in Lanzhou, which may be due to Yao Shu's own carelessness, or it may be not only the disaster in Lanzhou, but also in Yunpu and Yunpu, which could not be counted for a while and was not reflected in time.

If the former must be dealt with, if the latter is willing.

It does not reflect that the imperial court also knows the Tao, but because of Yao Shu, everything is different. Zhao Pu said the edict and instigated a few words, but Zhao Kuangyin didn't think of anything else, including his uncle Du Zhenzhao. So he was very unhappy and sent the minister to deal with the inquiry.

After the envoy went down, he said that the crime was serious, so he dismissed Du Xianzhao and returned to his private residence, and Yao Shu abandoned the city. The edict was issued by Zhao Kuangyin, and many officials have been executed over the years, such as this year, General Chen Zhoucang, who was imprisoned for corruption, bribery, and abandonment of the city. But according to the procedure, the officials also have a chance to appeal, and if they are justified, they can be let go, and sometimes Zhao Kuangyin even summons these officials to the court for questioning.

If that were the case, Yao Shu wouldn't have died.

He is a powerful general under Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangyi will be rescued, and he should not be killed, if he will be executed because of a mistake in his work, how many officials will be executed in the Song Dynasty in a year? Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare to do this.

The punishment cannot be escaped, even the old uncle was dismissed, and Yao Shu was exiled to Salmon Island at most.

The envoy went down, he didn't do it, saying that he had abandoned the city, Yao Shu didn't accept it, and if he didn't accept it, he could directly ask the guards to throw Yao Shu into the Yellow River. This is the real blind eye.

A few days later, a common man saw the dead body of an official wearing a red court uniform in the mud of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and was frightened and reported it to the government, so that Yao Shu's dead body was recovered.

When the Yao family heard this, they cried loudly.

Then when he went to Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Kuangyi sighed when he heard it, gave the Yao family some money, and then remained silent.

This is a dignified five-rank official, and there are only eight or nine hundred officials above the fifth rank in the entire Song Dynasty, including military generals. said that if he died, he would be killed, and the reason was only that he ignored the apology of Zhao Pu's subordinates.

Look at Zhao Kuangyi's cowardice again.

Song Jiu was not even afraid of death in Bashu, and forced Wang Quanbin to make a bet with him. In Fuzhou, let Yang Ye's wife put a knife on her neck, and she didn't frown. Sandouguo's uncle Wang Jixun, but look at the Song family, a little forced, even if the emperor inserted ten halberds in front of his door, he still obediently handed over the glaze technique.

Then look at the Lanzhou case, Zhao Kuangyin's maternal uncle Du Xianzhao was later reinstated as General Xiaowei, but Zhao Kuangyin let him become a general. Who is more expensive, Wang Jixun or Du Xianzhao?

When the news spread, all the officials in the prefectures and counties were speechless from the capital onwards.

It was only at this time that Zhao Pu reached the pinnacle of his rights in life, and as soon as his post came out, officials rushed to complete it. When Zhao Kuangyin's edict came out, officials may not be willing to sell their lives, but there are many bold officials who disobey the law.

After Yuping heard it at home, she hugged her son, covered her chest and said: "Baby, my mother is still smart, I didn't listen to the officials, I only mentioned the wharf, didn't mention the bridge, and didn't buy land, otherwise my family would be in trouble." ”

Frightened, Yuping prayed at home for several days and burned countless incense, but fortunately listened to the words of the second king and handed over the glass, otherwise the consequences would be serious, maybe her husband would become the second Yao Shu. It's better to find a handle for your husband! (To be continued......)
