Chapter 107: The Most Dangerous Profession (Part II)

Meng Chang came, Meng Chang left.

Wang Quanbin's quick pacification was the result of Meng Chang's quick surrender. However, Meng Chang was not very relieved, and asked his younger brother to come to the capital with a letter of surrender, and asked Zhao Kuangyin for forgiveness, Zhao Kuangyin said: "I don't break my word, I have no worries." Song Jiu rushed back, Meng Chang also got up and went down to Jiangling, and arrived in Nanzheng, Kaifeng in mid-May, and Zhao Kuangyi personally went to Nanzheng to set up a banquet to entertain him. Then entered Beijing, on the fifth day of the sixth month, Zhao Kuangyin ordered him to be named the opening of the palace with the three divisions, he could open the palace by himself, enjoy the treatment of the three princes, from the first product, high-ranking officials. Sealed and inspected the school captain, and also the Zhongshu order, Qin Guogong. On June 11, Meng Chang died violently and was buried by the king of Chu.

died so suddenly, the official did not explain, and it was faintly rumored that Meng Chang felt slightly heavy on the way to Beijing, and his condition returned to seriousness. It is also possible that there are too many suspicious points. Meng's mother didn't behave right, she was not an ordinary woman, she was originally the concubine of the fierce man Li Cunqing, who fought many times in the north and south with Li Cunqing, and later rewarded Meng's father as a concubine. Her hometown is from Taiyuan, and when Zhao Kuangyin received Meng Chang's family, he promised her to send her back to her hometown to care for the elderly. However, after Meng Chang's death, Meng's mother did not shed a single tear, and only said: "You can't die Sheji, you are greedy for life to this day, so I endure the dead, you are here, now you are dead, how can I live?"

Don't dare to tell the truth, she still has sons and grandchildren.

But in a fit of rage, the old lady died of hunger strike. If it is a normal illness, can the old lady be rushed like this?

So there was some private speculation among the people, and another reason was said. Meng Chang had no way to govern the country, so as soon as the Song army came, he was invincible. However, Wang Quanbin connived at his subordinates to burn, kill and loot, and compared with the people, it was better to live under Meng Chang's rule. Regardless of whether the tax is heavy or not, at least there is a guarantee of life. The daughters of the family will not be dragged away and tortured by the soldiers in broad daylight, and no one will openly break into the house to rummage through the property. Therefore, after Meng Chang left. Hundreds of thousands of people cried, and some fainted from crying. This is a big trouble, Zhao Kuangyin can tolerate villains, can tolerate people who fail, but can't tolerate people who fail but don't lose power. So Meng Chang was poisoned to death, there is a evidence, because before Meng Chang died, Zhao Kuangyin had a banquet for Meng Chang in the palace.

Song Jiu was a little unconvinced.

What is allowed to fail without losing power, when Meng Chang was in Yizhou, they began to rebel. Moreover, he was taken captive to Jingshi. If it is really influential, I believe that a living Meng Chang has a better effect than a dead Meng Changqi.

The actual preacher was not very convinced.

The persuasion is insufficient, so there is a third legend, saying that the concubine of the Lord of Shu, Xu, is beautiful and talented, so she is nicknamed Mrs. Hua Rui, not only a flower, but also the stamen of a flower, how beautiful it is. The husband and wife entered Beijing, and Zhao Kuangyin heard that she was in a good relationship. asked Mrs. Hua Rui to write a poem, and Xu wrote a poem: The flag was lowered on the tree in the king's city, how did the concubine know in the deep palace? 140,000 people were disarmed, and not a single man was a man. Zhao Kuangyin appreciated. Xu himself also thinks that Zhao Kuangyin's backer is much more powerful than her husband, one Lang is affectionate, and the other is a concubine. Widows are not afraid, Zhou Wei specializes in marrying widows. thinks that mature wives can know warmth and heat better, but Xu has a husband. So Meng Chang was guilty. Let Zhao Kuangyin kill it.

There is a knife on the head of the color word, and Zhao Kuangyin's queen Wang Wang has been dead for almost two years.

But Song Jiu didn't quite believe it, the Xu family was just a side concubine, Li Cunqiao could give the side concubine to Meng Zhixiang, how could Zhao Kuangyin ask for it directly, why risk poisoning Meng Chang's bad reputation, and do more?

It's all possible, it's not possible.

However, the last statement has been recognized by more and more people.

It is spread a lot, people are sympathetic, and they dare not say that Zhao Kuangyin is not good, so they think that Xu's water-based Yanghua, if she swears to the death, will Zhao Kuangyin learn from those soldiers who went to Bashu and forcibly do something in the palace? Then not only will he keep his name, but he will not affect his husband.

Song Jiu was amused and said, "Yuping, you have also seen His Majesty and the Second King, you are beautiful, have you ever seen any different eyes in their eyes?" ”

"How can the slave family compare with that woman?"

"You still don't understand what I mean, they are people who do big things, they think extremely high, and money and beauty can't trap their eyes anymore." Song Jiudao. Just like herself, Pan Li'er looks like a fairy in her heart, slightly making herself lovesick and at a loss, but she is not crazy. Could it be that Zhao Da hasn't calmed down yet? I didn't believe it when I killed Song Jiu.

However, Song Jiu felt that there were many differences between the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin was also ruthless, and he also killed people, killing Zhang Liang and killing his brother, but he generously asked the historian to record this incident. The Song Dynasty is different, and the history books cannot be believed at all.

made Song Jiu feel that starting from Zhao Kuangyin, the entire Song Dynasty was full of a feminine atmosphere.

But Song Jiu also thinks that Meng Chang died unnaturally, and the reasons are probably not as speculated by the world. Even not only Meng Chang, but also several emperors in the Song Dynasty, Gao Jichong, Zhou Baoquan, and the future, Wu Yue's, Southern Tang, Northern Han, Southern Han, including Zhao Kuangyin himself, basically died young.

Song Jiuda smiled, he thought of one thing, the richest profession in the world is nothing more than being an emperor, but the most dangerous profession in the early Song Dynasty was also being an emperor.

There are so many emperors, and none of them have a good death.

Yuping strangely raised Xinchang's neck and said, "Jiulang, what are you laughing at?" ”

The summer clothes were thin, Yuping was just bending over, and the spring was shining, Song Jiu couldn't avoid peeking at it, and he saw it a little bloody, and hurriedly said: "I'm laughing at the poem she wrote." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly left the house.

Looking for Qin Zaixiong's subordinates, Song Jiu arranged for people to buy a lot of necessary goods for them to go back, including farm tools, but he also wanted them to be a little bit of them, so he asked people to take them to the suburbs to watch, Gyeonggi is densely populated, and the cultivation techniques are more advanced, let them learn, and they can no longer slash and burn like before. If Chenzhou begins to cultivate in advance, it will spread like an infectious disease to the barbarian areas in all directions, and the lives of the people in the entire Xiangxi region, including most areas at the junction of Chongqing and Guizhou in the future, will gradually improve. The more rushed, the more stable it will be, who wants to be a robber?

Therefore, before leaving, they were ready to go south with Song Jiu's two students in a few days.

Two students were conferred the officer, from the dismissal of the nine grades. It's just a pity that they are very unfamiliar with industry, agriculture and commerce, otherwise they rely on going south to endure hardships, plus accounting and arithmetic. As long as you don't make mistakes, the future will be bright. Now only one arithmetic and accounting still not works. At most, they are technical officials and scribes.

Song Jiu found them and said, "It's hot. I'm worried that Qin Tingshi and they are not very relieved, in case they think that something has happened to you and there are some misunderstandings in the local area, it will not be good. ”

The Peng family said: "Yes, we are homesick too. ”

Several children are very well-behaved, obviously all of them are similar in age to Song Jiu, because Song Jiu is Qin Zaixiong's sworn brother, but he regards Song Jiu as an elder and is very obedient. Just be obedient. Song Jiu told them to go back quickly. The death of Meng Chang's mother and son will be troublesome for a long time, and Song Jiu is worried that after these young people hear it, they will bring the news to the south, in case the chieftains under Qin Zaixiong have a misunderstanding, and take advantage of the fact that Hunan is not completely pacified, and then plot chaos, it will affect himself.

As soon as they said they would go, Song Jiu hired someone to carry the purchased goods onto the ship, and when they came, they came on a boat. It was still a boat when I went, but the nature was different. The parents of the two students came to see them off, crying like tears. Song Jiu comforted: "The south is not so terrible, besides, their assassination history is my sworn brother." That's a good thing. Endure a little hardship, the court will not forget it in the future, maybe you will be promoted to a knight in a few years. ”

Not only them. Sixty students, some of whom were drawn to Hunan. There are five people in total, and some of them are drawn to Bashu. There are a total of seven people, not twenty people, and other states and counties have also divided a little, and there are also many students left in the capital, including the three divisions, Kaifeng Prefecture, and other ministries and departments. Maybe their treatment is not as good as that in private shops, but this is an official meal, and the two cannot be compared.

The weather is getting hotter.

But this summer is different from last summer, and Song Jiu finally tastes the sweetness of the traverser.

This profession is not easy to do, if you didn't have some skills and knowledge in your previous life, it will be even more uncomfortable in this era. Of course, this knowledge is a real knowledge, and it doesn't count, can those who fight with the ancients win in this era?

Pan Weigu and Fu Zhaoshou teamed up to find him, pulled Song Jiu aside, and said: "Jiulang, Uncle Guo asked someone to bring us a letter from Langzhong, and he will transfer 10,000 horses of silk into the ......."

It's more complicated than you think.

Strictly speaking, there are three uncles in the Song Dynasty now, the first is the five brothers of Mrs. Du, Du Xianqi, Xianyu, Xianqiong, Xianzhao, and Zhenjin. Then there was Zhao Kuangyin's daughter He Huaipu, who married at the age of seventeen before he ran away from home. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin's family was just like that, and Zhao Kuangyin himself seemed to be idle, I am afraid that the He family also did not have much good face. Therefore, after Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, although the He family left Zhao Dezhao for Zhao Kuangyin, the He family was not obvious, and she had an elder brother named He Lingtu.

In the fifth year of Xiande, the He family died, and Zhao Kuangyin married the daughter of the famous minister Wang Rao, that is, the queen Wang, I heard that this queen is very virtuous and can be compared with the eldest grandson queen. However, good people do not live long and die a few years later.

Zhao Kuangyin was very sad, he never accepted the queen, and he didn't even pamper the palace maids of the palace, let alone canonize any palace concubines.

Queen Wang has a younger brother, that is, Pan Fu and the two said that the uncle, Wang Jixun, since he was a young martial artist, he also made some military exploits in the recovery of Hunan, the court is about to conquer Bashu, Wang Jixun is at odds with the colonel Ma Renyu, and wants to murder the horse before the expedition, Zhao Kuangyin heard about it, and transferred the horse to Mizhou, and did not blame Wang Jixun. Love the house and the black, and love it like this.

There was also a Wang Jixun in the Song Dynasty, who was originally a subordinate of Li Shouzhen, very brave, with Li Shouzhen rebelled against Chai Rong, and after the capture of the Later Zhou and the Later Han Dynasty, Wang Jixun was defeated by Li Shouzhen, and surrendered to Chai Rong. At this time, he was leading troops to be stationed in Cizhou to prevent the Northern Han and Khitan from going south when the Song Dynasty sent troops to Bashu. That is a real tiger general, not comparable to this uncle.

Uncle Guo's participation in the shares seems to be a good thing, anyway, the east is also a ginseng, and the west is also a ginseng, but these Yannei are not stupid. The eldest princess coerced Song Jiu, in the final analysis, it was just a princess who had lost power, and she was her adopted son, not her own son, so it was not a big problem. If Wang Jixun comes in and has ambitions, don't talk about Song Jiu, even Fu Pan and their worst can't gnaw bones. This is different from the two kings and the three kings' shareholdings, they are the emperor's younger brothers, and they want to be an example in the world, what role model does Wang Jixun need to do!

However, it is not very good to refuse, and I dare not refuse. Song Jiu said I'll leave it to you, a few yamen couldn't discuss a good way, Pan Weigu and Fu Zhaoshou had to find Song Jiu, there are many people, there are many people, there are many ideas, let's find a way together.

Song Jiu muttered, "Uncle Guo, ......"

He is not afraid of what Wang Jixun will do in the future, first, a steady stream of skills and tricks flowed out, and the court had to be cautious, and second, the huge tax, which has not been paid now, is just empty talk, once paid, it is not a small tax, maybe the income is high, and he must take the initiative to raise taxes.

When the time comes, even the uncle of the country will not be able to do it.

But he thought of a series of names, Shi Di, the son of Shi Hu of Zhao in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sun En, the leader of the peasant army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Xin, Liu Xiu's subordinate, Zhao Sijuan, the former minister of the Later Han Dynasty, Zhuge Ang and Zhu Cang at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Huang Chao and his general Qin Zongquan, if justice and evil are not mentioned, there are also Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan. And then there's this...... Uncle Guo! (To be continued......)
