Chapter 124: The Great Song Dynasty Meeting
Fifty miles to the east outside Dongping Mansion, there is a Chengjiazhuang, which is usually quiet and peaceful, but now there are many guests, all of whom are rich people who wear silk, ride in carriages, and are surrounded by servants.
"Cheng Yuanwai, you are the richest man in our Dongping Mansion, the leading brother, the family wealth is thousands, the land is thousands of hectares, and there are children and nephews in the court as officials, we usually look forward to you! Now that Zhulong doesn't miss the local feelings at all, and eats the grass on the edge of the nest, you have to think of a way! ”
A landlord and old wealth complained to Cheng Yuanwai with a worried face, and others also echoed it.
Recently, Zhu Jiajun sharpened his knife to the landlords, many people went bankrupt, and some even lost their lives, these landlords couldn't help but be afraid, and they all came to find the largest landlord in Dongping Mansion.
Cheng Yuanwai is over sixty years old, in good spirits, with a strong waist, and said with a smile: "Everyone's worries are also my worries." But now I have a friend in the village and asked him to give everyone a reassurance! ”
He looked at the side door of the hall.
The landlords were very puzzled, and when they looked at him, they saw a middle-aged pedant walk in, he was wearing a thin shirt, and he looked a little shabby in a group of landlords' old wealth, but several landlords who knew him were so frightened that their teeth bumped and their legs trembled.
"Wu, Wu!" A landlord stammered his name, and everyone was startled, and many looked around to see if there were any soldiers in ambush.
During this time, Wu used this name, but it was a nightmare for the landlords and old wealth, for fear that he would suddenly kill his own home.
After seeing him in person at this moment, everyone was a little surprised, they thought it was a fierce and vicious man, but who knew that it was actually a scholar of Sven Wen.
Wu Yong saluted everyone and said with a smile: "But it's Wu Yong, you are polite!" I am here to explain to you and clear up any misunderstandings. ”
Hearing him do this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they all looked at him intently, wanting to hear what he wanted.
"I want to affirm to you that Zhu Jiajun is a good man who fights violence and is a substitute for the way. We are dealing with those local tyrants and gentry who are unkind to the rich and oppress the good, even according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, they should confiscate their family property, distribute them to the army, and even behead them for public display. It is only when they collude with the government that the victimized people have nowhere to seek justice, and we will be unjust.
As for all of you here today, you are all law-abiding and benevolent sages, we are also very respectful, and we will not offend you, please rest assured!
Moreover, if there are robbers and bandits near you, you can also come to us, and I wish the officials will definitely eradicate them for you! ”
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and they held a feast, leaving Wu Yong to drink freely, staggered, and the wine was hot, and Wu Yong was almost drunk.
He didn't want to drink this meal, but in order to appease the people, he stayed.
During this time, he eliminated violence everywhere, killed not many people, but raided a lot of homes...
, Many local squires were panicked, for fear that Zhu Jiajun would attack him.
So Zhu Long sent him to appease them, he eliminated violence and peace in order to gain prestige, but he didn't want to really force these squires to his opposite.
Tokyo, Buntokuden.
Emperor Daojun sat on the dragon chair, he looked handsome and magnificent, and he looked like a king.
The ministers below are fiercely arguing about the affairs of Dongping Mansion, and more than 20 years have passed, and the ministers are still arguing.
He had some headaches.
"Your Majesty!" A minister came out of the column with a wat board in his hand, only to see that he was tall, majestic, and high-spirited, and people who didn't know thought he was a military general, but in fact he was a eunuch, and he was a privy envoy Tong Guan of the court.
Emperor Daojun knew what he wanted, Cheng Wanli used to be Cheng Wanli's doorman, and Tong Guanthese tried his best to defend him, so he was a little unhappy in his heart, and said, "What is Aiqing's doing?" ”
"It has been more than 20 years since the thieves captured Dongping Mansion, and they have attacked Dong'e County many times, but they have been repelled by Cheng Wanli. Although he was mistaken by his subordinates and lost Dongping Mansion, he has been resisting since then, which is enough to offset the merits, please let him make meritorious service! ”
Suddenly, someone sneered, and the old minister standing at the head of the civil officials came out, "Cheng Wanli, as the prefect of Dongping, lost the city, and should be cut to the people!" ”
Tong Guan glanced at the old minister angrily, this person is Cai Jing, the imperial master of the dynasty, who is powerful and powerful, writes well, and has won the trust of His Majesty.
In fact, the two used to have a good relationship and could support each other.
When Cai Jing was demoted to Hangzhou, it happened that Tong Guan went to Jiangnan as a court servant to visit famous calligraphy and paintings, and all kinds of strange things, and lived in Hangzhou for a few months.
During this period, Cai Jing tried his best to tie him up, eat, drink and play with him, and served Tong Guan happily. So the screens, fan belts and other things painted by Cai Jing were sent to the palace by Tong Guan, and he strongly recommended them to the emperor, so the emperor began to pay attention to Cai Jing.
Later, Cai Jing was the prime minister, and the imperial court recovered the land of the Qing and Tang Dynasties. Cai Jing suggested that Tong Guan be the supervisor of the army, and because of his military exploits, Tong Guan was promoted to the envoy of Jingfu Hall and the observer of Xiangzhou, which was the honeymoon period of Liangrao.
Later, Tong Guan's officials became bigger and bigger, and began to swell, and everything was reported directly to Emperor Daojun, leaving Cai Jing aside, so Cai Jing secretly hated him.
When Emperor Daojun was about to promote Tong Guan again and worship him as the third secretary of the Kaifu Yitong, Cai Jing refused to give the edict and said, "How can the official position of the prime minister be awarded to the eunuch?" ”
The emperor then gave up, and the two of them were on the same page from then on, as long as you support it, I will oppose it; As long as I oppose something, I will support it!
This time, for the sake of Cheng Wanli's affairs, the two competed again.
Emperor Daojun was a little upset, and was about to reprimand, when an old eunuch next to him spoke: "You are so ignorant, you don't know how to share your Majesty's worries, and you have added to the chaos!" ”
Who is so bold as to dare to reprimand the privy envoy and the master? #... ...
When the ministers heard this, they turned out to be Liang Shicheng, the imperial inspector, so they were relieved.
Liang Shicheng, like Tong Guan, is also a eunuch, he mixes better than Tong Guan, and has a lot of official titles on his head, like Huainan Jiedu Envoy, Kaifu Yi and the Third Division, these first-grade and second-grade official titles that others can never reach for a lifetime, are like cabbage here.
His real core official positions are actually not these, but Zhongtaiyi and Shenxiao Palace envoys!
What are these two official positions for?
Serving the Daojun Emperor to cultivate immortals! Emperor Daojun's main business is cultivating immortals, his hobby is calligraphy and painting, and being an emperor is just a job.
Liang Shicheng is so deeply favored by the emperor that even Cai Jing's father and son have to pat him on the back, and he is called "hidden phase" by the people of the time, and "public minister" Cai Jing and "Yun Xiang" Tong Guan, and called the three phases.
Tong Guan and Cai Jing looked at the emperor's face, and sure enough, they showed an impatient look, and suddenly sweated on their backs, and hurriedly pleaded guilty.
Emperor Daojun smiled with relief: "It's still Liang Aiqing's loyalty to the monarch's country!" You see how to deal with it."
Liang Shicheng glanced at Cai Jing and said in his heart: Lao Cai is sorry, last night Cheng Wanli's son sent 100,000 pieces of gold, silver and jewelry to my house, and he has to do things when he receives money, this is a moral bottom line, our family has been corrupt and bribed all his life, and he has never broken the rules, and today is no exception!
Although he is a sinister traitor, he has a loyal face, usually speaks little, and when he opens his mouth, he is righteous and righteous.
"Your Majesty, the minister has not seen this person in the process, but looking at the erosion of Hangzhou, Hebei, and Huaixi, you can know this person's ability! It is really rare that he can rely on the remnants of the army to defeat and keep other counties in Dongping Mansion from losing!
And according to the officials of Dongping Mansion who fled to Beijing, there was a reason for the fall of Dongping Mansion! ”
"Oh, why?" Emperor Daojun asked.
"On that day, Cheng Wanli led the officials to fight against the thieves until he was injured and fell unconscious, and the capital supervisor Guan Sheng held heavy troops at the West Gate, sat idly by, and withdrew the troops without authorization, which led to the loss of the city!"
Emperor Daojun was furious, "Boldly Guan Sheng, after remembering that he is a martial saint, I promoted him to serve as the capital eunuch of Dongping Mansion, but I didn't expect to dare to do this!"
Tong Aiqing, you sent someone to escort Guan Sheng to the capital and go to prison to punish the crime! Promoted to Cheng Wanli as a doctor in Taizhong, he still knows Dongping Mansion! Ladies and gentlemen, elect a good general to quell the rebellion, and don't make it bigger! ”
Tong Guanshang, who was in charge of military affairs, said: "Your Majesty, now the elite soldiers of the imperial court are all in the south of the Yangtze River to encircle and suppress Fangla, and Tianhu in Hebei and Wang Qing in Huaixi have also contained a large number of troops. The old minister is willing to take command in person and lead the troops to the battle! ”
"Just a thief, a child! The minister protects one person, and he can wish the dragon peacefully! I heard a loud voice.
The emperor saw that he was the minister of his own palace, and he commanded Gao Yu in front of the palace, and now he is the official to the captain, and he is still the king of Duan...
, I played football with him, and my relationship was very good, and he said with a smile: "Who does Gao Aiqing recommend?" ”
"This person is the founder of the famous general Hu Yanzan's descendant Hu Yanzhuo, so that two copper whips, there is the courage of ten thousand people, now under the control of Runing County, good at training soldiers, there are elite soldiers and brave generals under his hands, the minister Bao promoted this person, can recruit and suppress Zhulong."
Emperor Daojun was overjoyed, "This is very good, quasi-play!" Retreat! ”
After the civil and military officials retreated from the court, Gao Yu walked out of the main hall and saw a person standing on the edge of the jade steps, with a body of six feet five or six long, a white face of Tuan Tuan, three teeth and a thin black mustache, a very thin waist and broad shoulders, and a talent.
Gao Yu's heart moved, and a vague thought was born, he stopped and shouted, "Xu Ning! ”
When Xu Ning saw the Taiwei calling himself, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "What is the matter with the Taiwei calling people?" ”
"Your Majesty Tong Privy Envoy escorted Guan Sheng, the governor of Dongping Mansion, into Beijing, so that the eunuch of Dongping Mansion became vacant. You are the teacher of the Golden Gun class, although you have some martial arts, when will you be able to come out? If you want to be released, serve as the capital supervisor, take charge of the soldiers and horses of a state, call for support, and have no power, it is better than in the capital. I don't know what you think? ”
Xu Ning was overjoyed, he, the teacher of the Golden Gun Class, was just the leader of the emperor's peripheral guards, his official position was low, but his work pressure was very high, his work was hard, and he couldn't see any future.
"Thank you Taiwei for cultivating, I don't know how to repay it?"
He knew that Gao Yu was not only a person, but also a pure real person, who was not secretive at all, and he was very direct in giving and asking for bribes.
"I heard that you have a set of golden armor in the wild goose ring, show it to me to watch and watch......"
Xu Ning's heart sank, this golden armor of the Yanling Circle was handed down by his ancestors, he loved more than his life, how could he give it to Gao Yu! And in order to avoid trouble, he put the treasure armor in a bag, hung it on the roof beam, and claimed to have lost it.
