Chapter 149: Behind the Scenes (Part II)

Song Jiu dared to speak.

Zhao Kuangyi said: "In fact, this peach blossom should not be picked by the official, nor can it be placed in the palace, let it produce many peaches, and then use this peach to cultivate many peach trees, then the entire Song Dynasty people will taste the sweet peach juice." ”

"Second king, it's just an ordinary peach blossom."

"You, you have no ambitions, do you know how brilliant your performance is when you go west this time?"

"I don't know what to do."

"After hearing about your deeds, not only the officials, but also Zhao Xianggong and them were all stupid, and the imperial brother didn't say anything for most of the day, just walked around the hall. Liu Wensuo is going crazy. ”

"What is he crazy about?"

"He is a direct minister, incorruptible, and outspoken, so he is not used to your various behaviors, and for this reason, he has tactfully impeached you. But fortunately, he should not be evil to you, although he is impeached, the wording is not fierce. But you did this big thing, can you not make him crazy? When Zhao Kuangyi said this, Da Lu laughed.

What he said about peach blossoms was to make Song Jiu feel at ease, but in his heart, Song Jiu was still his person. I'm afraid that now Song Jiu has also noticed it, although it is raised in the palace and no one dares to pick it up, it is also a way to avoid suspicion. Can you get away with it? He also said: "You went west this time, although it was Lu Yuqing's request, the official also agreed, you have the face of the imperial brother, and you have also grown my face." ”

"Weichen doesn't know what to do."

"So Liu Wensuo is crazy, it's you who don't know the way, everything you do, it seems that you don't know the way. Including me and the imperial brother, I have always wondered why the students you teach are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and their performance is so bright, and I have thought about many reasons. In fact, there is one of the most important reasons, and that is your pure heart. Therefore you go west. dared to take great risks and forcibly made a life-and-death bet with General Wang. not only saved many Bashu people from fire and water, but also screwed several armies together. It's not easy. ”

Song Jiu understood, no wonder Zhao Kuangyin said peach blossoms, daring to love himself makes people feel open, and it blooms very beautifully......

This made him very depressed, so he didn't care if he picked it up for the time being, and asked: "Second king, ...... Tsing Yi he?"

"The case of Tsing Yi is a bit complicated, you can first talk about the situation of your meeting with Han Xizai that day. Let's be more detailed. ”

It's been more than a year, and now it's a little difficult for Song Jiu to think about it, fortunately, Han Xizai's demeanor was very good that day, and Song Jiu can still remember the part, so he thought about it carefully for a while, and began to narrate. Zhao Kuangyi listened carefully, and said after listening: "I think that Pan You is still unwilling, but Han Xizai knows that he can't hide it. Perfunctory, went to Ezhou, and met with you. Song Jiu, you're in luck. If you agree, with your qualifications and Tang Guo's literary style, you will really serve as the young eunuch of the country. Let the family take out the knowledge and wait to die. ”

"I want to take out the knowledge of Weichen. I'm afraid it's not easy, but this scholar only taught me some theoretical knowledge. I'm still gradually improving, that is, I don't want to die, Weichen is a Song person, His Majesty and the two kings are not thin on me, why do you want to go to the Tang Kingdom? ”

"The general trend will not let you go, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Kingdom are drunk and dreaming of death, even if you go, even if you are reused, when I arrive at the army, you will still die."

"Anyway, Weichen didn't agree, and the lord of Tang was jealous of Beichen, and gradually suppressed Beichen, Weichen saw Han Xizai's eyes full of melancholy, coupled with his demeanor, he wouldn't do this. Tsing Yi is by my side again, whether he is a spy or not, Weichen can also see it. ”

"Han Xizai asked for him, the imperial brother worked hard to keep him, and our dynasty lacked literary scholars, once he was left, he would be reused, if he didn't listen, he would sneak back to the Tang Kingdom."

Therefore, Wei Chen thinks that he will not use such a disgraceful strategy, and besides, it is useless to have theory, but must be practiced, and the reason why I have received credit is the support of His Majesty, including a large amount of money, craftsmen and officials. I plan to be smart in Tsing Yi, what can I learn in four or five years, and then he will flee back to Tang State, can Tang Kingdom give him the support that His Majesty gave me, from money and silk to all kinds of manpower? Even Han Xizai is not reused, let alone a servant. If he could, he would not be drunk and dreaming of death as the second king. ”

Zhao Kuangyi walked a few steps and thought about it for a long time, this kid still seemed to be ignorant, and some things were a little bit more important to him, and said: "Yes, but now the problem is a little complicated, do you know why the imperial court asked you to ask three questions?" ”

"I don't know what to do."

"I'll tell you an interesting story, once the Tang State sent their talented Xu Xuan to our court, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, the Central Plains because of the endless war, backward in culture and education. In terms of literati, our dynasty is far inferior to the Tang Kingdom, and there are famous people like Han Xizai, Xu Xuan, Xu Kai and others. They couldn't use force, so they let this personable and talented man come to our court. The imperial brother was worried, such a talented man came to our court, who should be sent to receive him, so he looked around at the ministers, and all the courtiers dodged their eyes and did not dare to look at each other. ”

Song Jiu couldn't help but be happy.

In terms of writing poems, the Song Dynasty was too far behind the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Even Zhao Xianggong was helpless, so the imperial brother came up with a good way to ask the officials of the palace to pick ten illiterate soldiers to come over and submit the roster. The imperial brother took the roster, ticked a person with a pen, and instructed Zhao Xianggong to say that this person could be the reception envoy. The soldier was suddenly confused by this honor, so he had to be ordered to receive Xu Xuan. At the beginning of the banquet, Xu Xuan spoke, quoting scriptures, gushing, and his tongue bloomed, and the Wenchen in the guests was only dizzy and trembling. But even Wenchen only knew half of what he said, let alone the soldier, for him, no matter how good Xu Xuan said, it was equivalent to not saying it. As a result, after a few days, the soldiers not only did not admire, but thought that Xu Xuan was wordy and disagreed. After the last moment, Xu Xuan looked at his disapproving expression and chose to be silent, thinking that he had met a Confucian who was more knowledgeable than him, and returned home with an unfathomable and profound way. ”

Song Jiule smiled and bent over.

This trick is clever, as if he knows a little about it, when he sees Han Xizai, he admires it very much, especially when the boat is about to start, Han Xizai sits on the bow of the boat and sings a sad song, at that time he thought he was a god. It's just my own feeling, what would it be like to meet a character like Boss Hu? Maybe you will think that Han Hee-jae is a psychopath!

"This is a helpless way in the end, and the imperial brother is actually melancholy, so he asked you to come up with three questions, no matter what, it is also a kind of learning, a kind of learning that can stump the Tang Kingdom, and some of the face is turned back. But the literary scholars of the Tang Kingdom are not only big and small. Han Hee-jae, there's more. Zhang Xun, Song Qiqiu, Shi Xubai, etc., they published every article. Even the literati in the capital are preaching praises. Why are Xiao Xu and Han Xizai the most prestigious? ”

"Virtue?"

"Yes, it's ethics."

"I still don't get it."

"You said that Han Xizai's ethics are good, and I also say that his ethics are good, even far better than Da Xu. can only respect such a person, just like when Yanghu sent medicine to Lu Kang, can Lu Kang suspect that it is poison? At that time, the family surnamed Bi was slandered, and I felt that there were many suspicions, he was just a local gentry, what courage did he have to fight against a Zhizhou. And just for a middle-aged woman to fight against Zhizhou and make trouble in the capital. Afraid that there would be many things in the future, he asked the imperial brother to take the case to Kaifeng Mansion for interrogation. ”

"Thank you, the second king."

"You don't have to thank you, I still thought it was simple at the time, I knew that today, I shouldn't have accepted it at the beginning, it may not be beneficial to you, otherwise it will be ......" Zhao Kuangyi looked at the peach blossoms.

Song Jiu also looked at the peach blossoms.

"It doesn't matter whether Tsing Yi is a spy or not, and there is no evidence to prove that Tsing Yi is a spy. It's a big deal that you leave Tsing Yi out of the way when you teach some confidential knowledge. But if I release him, there must be some evidence, as long as it can be proved that the Bi family is slanderous. When you come back, I'll ask and go through a passing scene. The official can release the person. So the official inquired about the case and found only one thing. There was a person from the capital who brought some money to the Bi family, and then there was a slander by the Bi family. Check again. Ma Zhizhou did not cooperate. Hezhou is on the edge of the Yangtze River, not in the capital......"

Song Jiu nodded, the capital is Zhao Kuangyi's world, and there are even Zhao Kuangyi's people in the palace, but out of the capital, to the states and counties, it is Zhao Pu's world. I didn't expect that so soon, the two of them tore their faces. But this case is difficult.

"If the official forcibly investigates, it will be too ostentatious, and it will not be good for you to release Tsing Yi." Zhao Kuangyi was even more depressed in his heart. Big brother wants to balance, let's balance. Brothers in battle, fathers and sons in war, after all, they are brothers.

Even he thought it was a "family matter", his father died, and he always regarded Zhao Pu as an elder brother and uncle, and everyone went through the motions. Unexpectedly, this old boy turned his hands more and more into clouds and rain. As he thought of a terrible consequence, he was not Zhao Pu, it was a big deal to be demoted, he was the emperor's younger brother, once the eldest brother thought about it deeply, he would be a dead end. No wonder Yang Guang is the most perverted, can he not change his pervert under Yang Jian's repeated suppression?

Song Jiu didn't know how he was feeling, and asked, "...... that Tsing Yi?"

"The clever way, regardless of the question, in the Kaifeng Mansion, the official is responsible for the safety of their mother and son. There is also a strategy, the official can only intervene in the affairs of the capital, which is the duty of the official. If you don't cooperate with the state, the official can't do anything. However, as far as I know, Ma Zhizhou used to be a scribe in Shi Shouxin's hands, and he was tough, no matter what, he was not convinced by this tone in his heart. He can't do it, but as long as there is evidence, he won't fail to investigate. Let me tell you one more thing, Bi's family is not far from Hezhou, with more than 1,000 acres of land and several shops, because his wife is greedy and is more harsh on tenants and shopkeepers. If someone is clever and continues to investigate, he will be able to extract a lot of information from the mouths of some tenants and shopkeepers. Do you choose the best or the worst policy? ”

"I'd better choose the next step."

"This official knows that you will choose the next strategy, alas, you kid, you can't do big things if you don't have a hard heart, but it doesn't matter if your ambition is not high. But then you're going to have to suffer a bit. ”

"Endure hardship, just endure hardship. But I still don't understand, is Zhao Xianggong going to deal with me? ”

"Did I mention Zhao Xianggong? Besides, it's not easy to deal with you, for example, the capital spread your heroic deeds, saying how you played Wang Quanbin in the palm of your hand. ”

"Original."

"It turns out that it's not simple, Wang Quanbin's kid has shares in Hezhou, and he made a little fortune with him, and there is no hatred. Just this gust of wind, after it has passed, no one will target you again, after all, your status is still low, and it is too late to deal with it. But you want to be safe, and you have chosen the next strategy, including you and Tsing Yi have to suffer some hardships. ”

Song Jiu didn't know what it meant to endure hardship, and Zhao Kuangyi suddenly said, "Someone is coming." ”

The two officials came in, and Zhao Kuangyi said, "Drag this son to the court." ”

The two officials dragged Song Jiu to the court, including them, who also didn't understand, Zhao Kuangyi Zhengguan arrived at the court, and shouted in shock: "Boy, you actually said crazy words, dragged him down, and gave him twenty lashes, and then dragged that Tsing Yi up and flogged twenty times." ”

The officials were dumbfounded together, these two have a good relationship, why did they fall out? But Zhao Kuangyi ordered, so he had to drag Song Jiu to flog.

Song Jiu also fainted, and said, "Second king, I'm an official." ”

"Do officials dare to contradict me repeatedly? I see that you have made a little effort, but I don't know how thick the sky is! ”

This time, Song Jiu finally knew what it meant to endure hardship, Tsing Yi was in the cell, and he hadn't been dragged out yet, he had finished pumping twenty lashes, he was really whipped, and his buttocks were so flogged that blood came out, and then he was blasted out by Zhao Kuangyi. Walking out of Kaifeng Mansion, Song Jiu didn't hate Zhao Kuangyi, but he was shouting in his heart: "Zhao Pu, Lao Tzu will kill you in this life." (To be continued......)
