readx; "Shuzhong Cold Food Post" spread along the Yangtze River like the wind, and then it went up along the tributaries of the Yangtze River, and finally spread to every corner of the Great Song Dynasty, and then there were good things Liao merchants and Western Xia merchants with it ready to be sent back to their countries through the long trade route. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, in the Great Song Dynasty, as long as the news about Yun Zheng is concerned, it will generally spread quickly, and the presence of Su Shi's poems as footnotes has further boosted his motivation for dissemination.

"Reading the text is full of tears, and thinking is heartbreaking! The southern country is sunny and the Japan is scarce, and the cold food and rain are continuous, which makes the frustrated people feel a little more poignant. The rain became more and more intense, and the "hut was like a fishing boat" bumpy and drifting in the "misty water and clouds", just like Yun Zheng's fate was as erratic, but it was a pity......

"The tiger has fierce power in the air of Pingyang, but there is nowhere to show it, and it is barked wildly by wild dogs, and a colorful brocade skin is probably going to become dross this time."

"The deep nine-fold of the monarch's door is unattainable. Yun Zheng wants to return to the countryside, and after this life, although the hometown of the fallen leaves is in front of him, it is thousands of miles away, and he is unable to survive. Unable to advance or retreat, Yun Zheng felt at the end of the road and grief, his heart was like the ashes of the Cold Food Festival that could not be rekindled. ”

"Su Shi is a disciple of Yun Zheng, and he met with Mr. on the Yangtze River, he should have laughed and stopped drinking together, but there were 3,000 soldiers on the side, no matter the situation of the Chinese law, Yun Zheng could not stop the boat and land, and when the teachers and students met, I am afraid that there were only tears and thousands of lines......"

"What is Yun Zheng going to do?" Pang Ji finished reading this song "Cold Food in Shu" and asked Wen Yanbo.

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "Yun Laohu has always been arrogant, he never bows his head easily, and only Su Shi and a few other people can see his tired state. ”

Pang Ji frowned and said: "This is not the attitude that Yun Zheng I know should have, since he entered the martial arts with literature. Arm yourself with the spirit of a warrior, do not mess up in the middle of the battle, do not panic in the Jedi, and strive to survive in the place of death, this is the famous cloud tiger.

Mourning for oneself? Hehe......"

Wen Yanbo shook his head and said, "Su Shi is a teenager." So far, it has been smooth sailing, life is rich, such an old-fashioned text may not be from his hand, the old man thinks that it is more credible from the hand of Yun Zheng, and his mood should have changed a little after three years of idleness. ”

Pang Ji leaned his thin body on the back of the chair, put his hands on his lower abdomen, and laughed: "Kuanfu." Others don't know why Yun Zheng went to Shuzhong, don't you know?

His Majesty wants to choose a general for the royal family, and the best supervisor is Yun Zheng, and now, the dust has fallen. Zhao Yang and Zhao Yannian's generation has pacified the Jianchang Mansion class and returned to Beijing, and he was in a good mood after hearing that His Majesty had seen the new army of the royal family with his own eyes, so Yun Zheng's duties had also been fulfilled.

He has now returned to Beijing and can be regarded as a successful retirement, and his experience does not conform to the description in this song "Cold Food in Shu". ”

Wen Yanbo frowned and said: "Could it be that he was because the generals slaughtered the monks in Dali, and finally because he was forced by the queen and the monks to order the resentment in the hearts of the generals, he wrote this poem "Cold Food in Shu"?" ”

Pang Ji looked up at Wen Yanbo and said with a smile: "Kuanfu, do you think Yun Zheng will kill his loyal generals?" ”

"Impossible!"

"Hehehe, the old man also sees it this way."

"That being the case. Why did Ming Gong accept the head and final documents sent by Pan Liang? ”

"Kuanfu, you are also an old official, don't you think that it is the best way for the old man to pinch his nose and admit it like this?"

Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "Yes." Since Yun Zheng said that he was miserable, he was probably telling us that he was going to live in seclusion at home and not conflict with us. ”

Pang Ji said with a smile: "We can say that Yun Zheng is arrogant and arrogant, brutal and unkind. But one thing we must admit is that Yun Zheng is a very well-behaved general. As long as it is an order really issued by the imperial court, he will complete what can be completed. If he can't finish it, he's trying to finish it.

In this regard, Yun Zheng is better than countless famous generals in history. ”

Wen Yanbo nodded in agreement with this view and said with a smile: "The Northern Expedition is imminent, which requires the concerted efforts of our Great Song Dynasty, Yun Zheng also chose forbearance because of this big event, this is what it looks like to do big things, and the old man is now starting to feel that this guy wants the prince to be more than just talking." ”

Pang Ji said with a smile: "Although the king with a different surname is a great disaster for the country, from the old man's point of view, as long as it is a dignified and upright prince, the Great Song Dynasty is not intolerable." ”

Wen Yanbo was reluctant to agree with this, and opened his mouth to ask: "Yun Zheng has arrived at Guan Kou now, and he will arrive in Tokyo in four days, how does Xiang Gong think he will be settled?" ”

Pang Ji picked up a decree from the table and said: "Your Majesty's will has reached the center, Yun Zheng has been appointed as the crown prince and Taibao, entered the third division, and knew the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, the secretary of the Ministry of Soldiers, and the bachelor of the Gou Tianzhang Pavilion." ”

Wen Yanbo has no opinion on this will, no matter what, the prince also needs a master who can teach martial arts, Yun Zheng's qualifications for both civil and military affairs are unmatched, he used to be the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and he was impeached by Lao Bao on the verge of death, so he could not be appointed as a privy envoy, His Majesty ordered him to take charge of a hollow military department, no matter how you look at it, it is to envelop Yun Zheng, as for the Tianzhang Pavilion Bachelor, it is nothing more than one more honor that can stay in the palace and watch the night, this is nothing.

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "Yun Zheng returned to Beijing, why don't I wait for plainclothes to greet him, no matter what, the Northern Expedition still needs him to personally lead the troops." ”

Pang Ji said with a smile: "Kuanfu is still a little cautious, even if Yun Zheng is not in command of the Northern Expedition, he is now a great Song minister who can be on an equal footing with us, and it is natural for him to go in plain clothes." ”

Wen Yanbo just smiled and didn't say anything, he always felt that Yun Zheng was fundamentally different from other ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, he had been rolling in officialdom for so many years, and what he was most proud of was his way of looking at people.

Other Great Song courtiers, whether they are capable ministers or mediocre talents, they all have a clear Great Song Dynasty imprint, this imprint is invisible, intangible, can only be understood and unspeakable, he is a temperament that melts into the blood, Wen Yanbo has found it in Su Shi's body, and he has vaguely found it in Yun Er's body, but this temperament has never been found in Yun Zheng's body.

Many people say that dogs and wolves look alike, but everyone knows that these are two different animals, for Wen Yanbo, Yun Zheng is a wolf, and the crowd of the Great Song Dynasty is a huge group of dogs, so he has a sense of alienation from Yun Zheng from the bottom of his heart.

Yun Er knelt in front of Zhao Zhen's bed and watched Qin Guo hold his son Yun Zhang for the emperor to see, the child's hand caressed Zhao Zhen's thin face, Zhao Zhen seemed to like it very much, and his eyes were full of smiles.

Qin Guo whispered to the side about what he had seen and heard in Shuzhong, and when he heard Zou Tong tell how sad the winter was in the palace, he also recommended the treasure land of Steamer Gorge to the emperor.

"It would be nice if my father could go to Steamer Gorge, where it is as warm as spring in winter, the top of Yuanshan is full of snow, the surrounding mountains and forests are lush, and the morning mist drifts from the mountains, it will be heated into a light rain by the heating inside, and the warmth of the hand is reached.

The slaves and maids cultivated some small vegetable fields at the foot of the mountain, and even in the cold winter months, the green vegetables and fruits there were constantly extinct, and every afternoon the children would go to the wooden house made of pine to fumigate, and when they came out, their whole bodies were refreshed......

Zhao Zhen listened to Qin Guo's babbling for a long time, and then motioned Zou Tong to lead Qin Guo to see Concubine Bo, and it was not until there were only three people left in the room that Zou Tong asked at Zhao Zhen's signal.

"I heard that you have been floating at sea all year last year, and you have not even come back from the production of the Qin State?"

Yun Er nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the business of the Erchen family in Shuzhong has suffered a catastrophe, and the lives of the whole family still have to be taken care of, so the Erchen wants to reopen up a business route." Otherwise, it will be a problem for the whole family to eat. ”

"Just like your eldest brother opened the Qingtang Trade Road back then?"

Yun Er shook his head and said: "There is no comparison between the two at all, my eldest brother has his own splendid chest in his chest, the reason why he entered Qingtang with a caravan back then was actually to prepare for the capture of Qingtang in the future, and what Erchen has to do now is purely to make some money to support his family."

The Yun family was favored by His Majesty, and the population of the family increased more than tenfold in just a few years, and a new family was about to take shape, so there was no room for slacking off. ”

Zou Tong blinked his eyes twice when he saw Zhao Zheng, so he opened a notebook and said: "This is the truth, but the people on Black Mountain Island were killed by you and only your family remained, and this business is a bit too domineering, right?" ”

Yun Eryan looked at his nose and nose and said: "As a member of the royal family, the sons and daughters always have to share their worries for His Majesty, and some loyal ministers and righteous people who are scattered abroad always have to be comforted." ”

Zou Tong didn't expect Yun Er to answer like this, so he had to look at the emperor's meaning again, and after re-recording the emperor's words, Zou Tong asked again: "What kind of loyal ministers and righteous people?" ”

Yun Er sighed and said: "The remnants of the mud ancient village, they were almost wiped out in the first battle of the Duck River, but there were also some soldiers who escaped, but unfortunately the imperial court has included them in the list of the dead, so that they have a home to return to and a country to run."

In order to survive, Zhang Dongyao, the original leader of the mud ancient village, experienced the bloody battle of the Yazi River and the thousands of miles of pursuit and killing of the Liao people, and his will was as tenacious as iron, but when he heard that the imperial court had included him in the list of the dead, and his family was also exiled, a man with iron bones immediately went crazy, and finally became a madman killer who helped others kill people as long as he gave him consistent money.

Under the leadership of the deputy general Zuo Dapeng, the remnants of Niguzhai formed a bandit group, killing and looting money on Black Mountain Island, and the people on the island were all killed by them. ”
