After the restructuring of Yuanfeng, some road sub-officials were merged.

Guizhou is the capital of Guangxi, so the governor wears many hats.

Guangnan East Road Transit Envoy and Guangnan West Road Transit Envoy were merged into one Guangnan Road Transit Envoy, and the office was located in Guangzhou.

But someone has to be responsible for the transfer work in Guangxi, so he asked the governor of Guizhou to concurrently serve as the Guangxi transfer judge (the rich road branch cannot be concurrent, such as Jiangxi Road, a special Jiangxi transport judge).

Cai Yi's responsibility is very heavy, and he is also the governor of the state, and he is also the economic envoy of Guangxi.

But he just can't get interested, it's not as comfortable as touring the mountains and rivers.

He pulled the torture envoy to use it, and rushed to visit Zhu Ming, who was nothing more than Zhu Ming "good at poetry", and was also managed and could be absorbed as a tourist partner.

Interact with each other and clarify your identity.

Cai Yi smiled and asked: "It has been two or three days since I successfully came to Guizhou, but can I still adapt to the water and soil here?" ”

"Thank you for being too careful, wearing a sinful body, and being at peace with what happens." Zhu Ming said.

Shang Yongzhi laughed: "It's so easy to meet it, it's really a person in my generation." Stay until the beginning of spring, the scenery is more beautiful, choose a good weather, and you can go to the famous places with us if you succeed. I have also heard of successful poems in Guangxi, and the imperial court has also sent an official document asking for a ban. Hahahaha! ”

Shang Yongzhi is a native of Yangzhou, and he is extremely rotten, he did not leave any political achievements in Guizhou, but left a bunch of poems to pass on to future generations.

and, the tomb of his own bones.

This old man has been demoted for more than ten years, and he has always been in remote areas.

His last place of work was in Yongzhou, and the song "You Shanyan" was written with enough frustration: "I came to train the fox and heard nothing, and I didn't move the dust when the old man played." I am ashamed of not being measured, and my heart is discouraged like an ordinary person......"

It is precisely because the heart is like ashes that it is still used to become obsessed with Buddhism.

Historically, he refused to be transferred elsewhere and lived directly in the temple. He also told the monks that if he died, he would find a place in Guilin to bury it.

Zhu Ming personally made a pot of tea and poured it for the two of them.

Cai Yi didn't ask why Zhu Ming was compiled, but asked: "What poetry masterpieces are there in Tokyo recently?" ”

Zhu Ming arched his hand towards the north: "The emperor had a masterpiece last year. Guizi three autumn and seven miles of incense, Maiyun nine summer two Qi Xiu. Chicken tongue is a thousand years of jujube, and Ju Ying is nine days old. Junchen Yan Yan ascended to the level, and the sentence essay was Le Weiyang. ”

"What a 'monarch and minister' Yan Yan ascended to the level', the world is really rich and peaceful!" The Yin and Yang Strange Qi Dao is still used.

Cai Yi said: "It's really disappointing, why do you mention his poems?" ”

These two people are the governors of Guizhou, and Zhu Ming is now "under the fence", and he has to go to the government every month to report, so he naturally wants to make friends with them.

"Recently, I have encountered a complaining poem, and I should share it with the two," Zhu Ming said to Zeng Xiaoduan, "bring pen and ink." ”

Zeng Xiaoduan hurriedly took pen and ink and leaned next to watch the teacher write poems.

Zhu Ming wrote: Haggard Chengnan short Li Shen, amorous black hat dyed yellow dust. You can't read the things of life, and you die after reading the world. The sunset is suitable for wine, and the west wind is sad. Let him be old with bees and butterflies, and the bright moon garden is a small spring.

After the monk Cai Yi read it, they all sighed silently, and this poem was written in their hearts.

Compared with Li Shen, he was frequently degraded, and his ambitions were difficult to reward. You can only drink wine to the sunset, and live in sorrow in the west wind. Don't bother to think about how much to worry about, let's enjoy the life in front of you.

Isn't this a portrayal of half of their lives?

After a long time, Cai Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The amorous black hat is dyed with yellow dust, we people are indeed sentimental." The black hat is stained with yellow dust, which is purely self-inflicted. ”

Shang Yongzhi sighed: "Success is worthy of being the holy hand of the diction, only this one is enough for me to write a hundred poems in Guizhou." Let him be old with bees and butterflies, and the bright moon garden is a small spring. Don't say anything else, go to my house and drink! ”

Zhu Ming was dragged away like this, and he was going to have a drink again, and the Guizhou officials seemed to love to drink.

Zhang Bo tasted the poem and said to Li Bao: "Xianggong seems to be free and easy, but in fact, he is depressed in his heart, but he just leads to it. ”

Li Bao pressed the handle of the knife with his hand: "When the new monarch succeeds to the throne, the prime minister will definitely return to Beijing, and then we will also do something." Those traitorous villains, they will not let them have a good time! ”

Boom!

Zhang Bo pulled out the sword and looked at the face reflected by the sword: "The beard should be shaved, and you can't be sloppy all the time." ”

When he went to the mansion where he was still useful, before the wine and food were put out, Cai Yi shouted: "Go and invite Fan Tuanlian." ”

Zhu Ming asked, "Which Fan Tuanlian?" ”

Shang Yongzhi said: "Fan Zhiming, Uncle Obscure, the list of 20 years ago." On the crime, Zhang Xiang (Zhang Shangying) was assigned to Qizhou by Cai Jing for three years. Later, less than a year after being reinstated, he was demoted to Yuezhou to collect liquor tax. Last year, Shangshu impeached the traitorous party, advised the emperor not to increase the liquor tax, and was demoted to Guizhou as a deputy envoy for regimental training. ”

Zhu Ming said with a smile: "He is also a fallen person at the end of the world, and he should indeed be called for drinking." ”

Shang Yongzhi asked the servant to buy two fresh fish, which had just been caught from the Li River. Some meat and vegetables were prepared, and the meal was almost ready, and Fan Zhiming finally arrived.

"Uncle Hui, come quickly," Cai Yi beckoned, "This is Zhu Ming, Zhu Chenggong." You are an eye-catcher, a tanhua, and it is not easy to get together here. ”

When Fan Zhiming was admitted to the list, he was in his early twenties, and now he is only forty-three years old. But his temples were already gray, he looked quite haggard, and his whole person was not in high spirits, so he casually saluted Zhu Ming.

Not only was he demoted, but his brother Fan Zhijun was also demoted, and the brothers were very unhappy.

When collecting liquor tax in Yuezhou, Fan Zhiming could still maintain a normal mind and wrote "Yueyang Fengtu Ji", which recorded the historical evolution of Yuezhou, changes in mountains and rivers, historical sites and scenic spots, customs and so on. Now that he has been thrown to Guizhou as the deputy envoy of the regimental training, he is really unbearable, and he seems to be ten years old in a year.

By the way, Fan Zhixu, the secretary of the Criminal Department who went home for the funeral, is the younger brother of Fan Zhiming and Fan Zhijun. The former is the Cai Party, and the latter two are the Zhang Party, and the brothers are political enemies of each other.

Shang Yongzhi took out the poem: "Uncle Hui, please see, this is a successful new work." ”

Fan Zhiming read it and felt empathy, shook his head again and again, and actually joked: "This is a successful new work, it is obviously my new work." My experiences in the past ten years have been written by this poem. ”

"Hahahaha!" Shang Yongzhi laughed when he heard this.

Cai Yi picked up the chopsticks and said, "Eat the fish, I just caught it." ”

Zhu Ming ate two pieces of fish, then clinked glasses with everyone, and suddenly made another wine order.

Guizhou is too remote, and the news is often delayed by several months.

Fan Zhiming asked, "I heard that Cai Jing has dismissed the prime minister?" ”

Zhu Ming said: "Now that Wang Hao is the prime minister, even Zheng Juzhong has been transferred to the Privy Council to make way for him. ”

Cai Yi was puzzled: "Zheng Juzhong has always been favored, why did Cai Jing quit the prime minister, and he also went to the Privy Council?" The snipe and the clam competed, but Wang Huang benefited. ”

Zhu Ming explained: "Zheng Juzhong opposed the Lianjin invasion of Liao. ”

"I see." Everyone understands and understands immediately.

In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the power of the privy envoy was greater than that of the prime minister. In the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, both were about the same, relatively balanced. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the prime minister had completely overshadowed the privy envoy.

However, Song Huizong liked to fight, and the power of the privy envoy also increased.

Letting Zheng Juzhong be a privy envoy is to force him to agree to the invasion of Liao. If you don't cut Liao, the power of the privy envoy will not be fully exerted, and you will always be suppressed by the prime minister Wang Huang.

Fan Zhiming felt incredible: "Fang La is not flat, the Song River is not destroyed, there are big Kou in the north and south, how can Your Majesty still think about cutting Liao?" ”

"It's hard to believe, but that's what the emperor thinks." Zhu Ming slowly picked up the fish bones.

Cai Yi said: "How do I feel, this big Song Jiangshan ......"

Shang Yongzhi said: "What dare you not say? The Great Song Dynasty is about to die. What about my generation? No matter how well Guizhou is governed, it is nothing more than sending more money and food to the imperial court, and handing over the fat and ointment of the people to the Privy Council to fight. It's better to do the art of Huang Lao, travel all day long, and don't disturb the people. If you turn in less food, you can't be promoted at most. Those of us, where can we go if we ascend again? ”

Cai Yi nodded: "That's true, when spring comes, I will go to the mountain to enjoy the flowers." ”

These two old men, the corpse vegetarian meal actually makes sense, and they claim to lie flat for the sake of the people.

Fan Zhiming shook his head: "Under the nest, how many eggs are finished?" Although I don't know much about the Jin Kingdom, how can I defeat the Liao Kingdom and lose the city and land, how can it be easy to match it? I have only heard that the weak are united against the strong, and there is no reason for the joint strong to attack the weak. ”

"As soon as the Liao Kingdom is destroyed, the Song and Jin borders, how can my troubled army of the Great Song Dynasty resist the tiger-wolf Jin soldiers? If the Jin people don't go south, it's fine, but once they go south, Shandong and Hebei have been exhausted for a long time, and they will definitely not be able to stop the Jin soldiers. I'm waiting here to play and drink, can Kaifeng City still stop the enemy army? ”

Zhu Ming couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and looked at Fan Zhiming twice.

"What can I do about it?" Cai Yi asked.

"Alas!"

Fan Zhiming sat down on the chair.

Zhu Ming said with a smile: "It's a pity that we have been relegated too far, otherwise we can still lead the soldiers to the king." ”

"King Qin? Not really. Cai Yi was surprised.

Fan Zhiming said: "I have been a servant and a county commander in Shaanxi, so I know what the Great Song army is like. Even the elite of the border army deserted countless soldiers every year. Because there were too many deserters, the imperial court did not dare to punish the military attachés, and there were few people who led the troops according to the law. In recent years, natural disasters have continued, and there are huge cowards in the southeast, how much money is left in the treasury? Lianjin attacked Liao, I am afraid that even the grain and grass will not be ready. ”

Zhu Ming said: "I'm afraid that Tong Guan is really leveling Fang La, and when the time comes, the scenery will be the same, and he will inevitably be added to the ranks." In order to become the king, how could he give up his plan to attack Liao? ”

Syllable!

Shang Yongzhi slapped his chopsticks on the table and said depressedly: "This wine is not very good, and it wastes two fresh fish." ”

Zhu Ming raised his glass and smiled: "Everything is just speculation out of thin air, maybe because of the lack of grain and grass, it may be that the official family will no longer cut Liao." Drinking! ”

"Yes, yes, drink and have fun." Cai Yi instantly became a man of heaven again, and he was overwhelmed by the flood in the north.

Zhu Ming said: "I want to give a lecture in Qixing Mountain, can you help?" ”

Cai Yi said: "This matter is easy to hear. When I contact the wealthy families in Guizhou, they can pool the money to repair the academy and then let their children enroll. For two years, the state school has not given Shenggong (Taixue) places, free food and accommodation have also been cancelled, and the number of students has become less and less. They didn't have much to go to, just going to the successful academy. ”

Fan Zhiming was so idle every day that he said: "After the academy is built, I will also go to lecture, otherwise I don't know how to live." ”
