Uncle Zhang didn't have a good time at night.

In the face of the two major defeats of the Montenegrin thieves, not only did Licheng fall, but the entire Jinan Mansion fell into the hands of the thieves.

And he led the remnants of the army, under the escort of Xing Wanli, all the way south to Dongping Mansion.

Dongping Mansion, formerly Yunzhou (Heze, Shandong), was elected for four years, and moved to pacify the Ying Tianfu. In the first year of Xuanhe, it was changed to Dongping Mansion and was subject to the Tianping Army.

After escaping to Dongping Mansion, Zhang Shuye actively persuaded the prefect Wang Changxiang to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, but was rejected by a mouthful.

Today, he lives in the county hall and has nothing to do all day.

A while ago, it was found that every once in a while, a large amount of grain, pig iron, saltpeter, sulfur and other materials passed through Dongping Mansion and finally transported to Qingzhou.

Although these caravans were very low-key and secretive, they were too numerous and frequent to hide from the eyes of those who cared.

This familiar scene immediately aroused his vigilance.

When he was the governor of Qingzhou, the Montenegrin thieves colluded with officials to secretly transport grain and baggage, and became bigger step by step.

After perceiving the abnormality, Uncle Zhang sent his men to contact the Qingzhou caravan.

Through the various information and intelligence he collected, he was basically sure that something had happened in Qingzhou.

The reason why no news came out was that it was most likely that Zhao Ting and other officials had voted for thieves and helped cover it up.

After coming to this conclusion, Uncle Zhang notified Wang Changxiang as soon as possible.

However, what he didn't expect was that instead of accepting it, Wang Changxiang sneered at him.

In desperation, Uncle Zhang had to play the center in person.

It was midday.

Uncle Zhang sat in the room at night, holding a book in his hand.

It's just that a long time has passed, but the book has not turned a page, and he knows that his mind is not on reading.

"Hey!"

I don't know how long it took, Uncle Zhang sighed at night, slowly put down the book, and his clear face was full of sorrow.

The situation in Qingzhou is even more complicated than imagined.

Such a thief who knows how to forbear and secretly accumulates strength will become a great disaster in the future.

Is it a black mountain thief, or a dare to blaze the army?

Are there other anti-thieves who can't do it?

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside the pavilion.

"Xianggong, Xianggong!"

Immediately after, Xing Wanli's voice sounded.

Uncle Zhang got up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Someone came to the palace, saying that there was a will."

Xing Wan was overjoyed, thinking that it was his father-in-law's performance that worked, and the official family must have sent someone to commend him.

Hearing this, Uncle Zhang's face changed.

If it works, the official family should send troops to Qingzhou to thoroughly investigate Zhao Ting, instead of giving him an order.

After dusting off his sleeves and tidying up his appearance, Uncle Zhang went out with doubts at night.

As soon as he went out, he was met by a eunuch who came up to deliver the decree.

"I've seen Zhang Xianggong!"

This eunuch flaunted his might along the way, and extorted a lot of benefits, but Zhang Shuye was a bachelor of Longtu Pavilion after all, and he didn't dare to offend easily.

In fact, the straight bachelor of Longtu Pavilion is not a prominent official title, similar to this attic, there are a total of thirteen, such as the Secret Pavilion, Baowen Pavilion, and Fuwen Pavilion.

The greatest advantage of the Longtu Pavilion Scholar is that he is an attendant to the emperor and serves as an advisor.

It's a close minister!

The word "close minister" is enough to explain everything.

Uncle Zhang arched his hand and said: "The nobles have worked hard and worked hard. ”

"Wherever we are, we slaves and maids naturally have to share the worries of the officials."

After the eunuch made an official tone, he waited there quietly.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Zhang Shuye and Xing Wanli did not say anything, a trace of displeasure suddenly flashed in their eyes.

The eunuch reminded vaguely: "Governor Zhang, the Sprinkle family is going to read the will!" ”

The internal servant passed on the decree, whether it was a reward or a reprimand, the official needed to give some reward, which meant that this was an unwritten agreement in the officialdom.

For example, the application is generally an oral message.

After giving the reward, the eunuch will be merciful, just say a few words that are not painful or itchy, and convey the emperor's meaning.

But if there is no reward, or if you offend the eunuch, then you will be in trouble.

When eunuchs pass on edicts, they often add oil and vinegar, and even insult them in public, so that officials can't get off the stage, which is extremely embarrassing.

These rules in the officialdom, Zhang Shuye is naturally clear.

But he is an honest official and has a strong temperament, not to mention that he has no money, and even if he has money, he will not give it.

Uncle Zhang said with a frank face: "The nobles should read it." ”

Scold!

This attitude made the eunuch sneer in his heart, straighten his chest and back, raise his chin and shout: "Uncle Zhang accepts the order at night!" ”

Uncle Zhang bowed down at night, and he couldn't afford to give it for a long time.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there were only two situations in which officials were required to bow down.

One is a major personnel appointment, and the prime minister needs to lead hundreds of officials to kneel down.

The second is the edict sent to the prefectures and counties of the world, which not only requires kneeling, but also a solemn welcoming ceremony, called Xuanma ceremony.

Except in the above two cases, the rest of the will does not need to bow down, but just bow.

The eunuch said loudly: "I have reviewed the matter of the Qing Song, and those who are officials should abide by their duties, report to the country, and go down to Anlishu." However, don't rise again to climb the wind of slander, I hope this is remembered, encouraged. ”

This almost vernacular oracle was like thunder, which made Uncle Zhang dizzy for a while.

Xing Wanli's eyes widened on the side, his face full of disbelief.

This sentence almost pointed at Uncle Zhang's nose and scolded: Be honest with me, stay in Dongping Mansion well, don't slander your colleagues, and when the situation is stable, I will settle accounts with you!

After a long time, Uncle Zhang came back to his senses at night, and said with a bitter face: "Slightly ...... Weichen, Leader! ”

"Humph!"

The eunuch snorted gloatingly, and turned away with everyone.

When the eunuch's back disappeared from view, Uncle Zhang stumbled suddenly.

Xing Wanli's eyes were quick, so he hurriedly held it up, and said with concern: "Is Xianggong okay?" ”

"Huh!"

Uncle Zhang looked up to the sky and sighed, his face was gloomy, and he smiled bitterly: "A good one who abides by his duty, a good one who climbs the wind, I think that my Uncle Zhang Ye is dedicated to the country, and he actually landed a decree." ”

Xing Wanli comforted: "It must be because we didn't give the reward, and the noble man held a grudge and deliberately humiliated the minister." ”

"You don't have to be comforted."

Uncle Zhang waved his hand at night.

The nobles may be overjoyed and exaggerated because of the reward, but they do not have the courage to change their will.

What chilled him was not the insult of the eunuch, but the attitude of the official.

After a while, Uncle Zhang slowly spoke: "It's autumn, it's a little cold, help me in." ”

Xing Wanli raised his head and looked at the scorching sun above his head, only to feel extremely aggrieved.

The matter of the official family's application for Uncle Zhang's night spread in the officialdom.

After this move, the officials, who had already pretended to be deaf and dumb, turned a blind eye to the transit of a large amount of grain baggage.

There is a lot of tax to be paid, and there is nothing wrong with the offerings that should be given, who cares where you are transported?

……

……

Zhang Wanxian's head was of great use.

Although Wu Guinian colluded with the thieves and secretly helped the thieves to buy a large amount of grain, there was something strange under the details.

However, Zhang Wanxian died, and the good news of the defeat of the Dare Blazing Army played a role in covering up.

Originally, when there was a riot on the four roads in the north, Song Huizong was really frightened for a while.

Now other large and small thieves have been pacified, Zhang Di was beheaded, Zhang Wanxian was executed, Gaotuo Mountain was surrendered, and only one black mountain thief remained.

Just wait for the Western Army to go south and pacify the Black Mountain thieves, and the Great Song Dynasty will bring peace to the world again.

After being in a good mood, Song Huizong promoted Zhao Ting.

He was promoted to the rank of scholar and bachelor of Huiyouge.

The dispatch has not changed, and it is estimated that it will be arranged after pacifying the Black Mountain thieves and recovering Jinan Mansion.

Yidu.

Originally, the boiling mountain gods playing drums in the county town changed the limelight after just a few days.

The first is a fisherman, who fishes in Zishui and picks up a one-eyed stone man overgrown with aquatic plants.

The stone man raised his right hand high, stretched out two fingers, and carved a small seal on his chest.

Immediately afterwards, Ganoderma lucidum grew on the beams of a house in Huanyi Lane in the outer city.

The magic of the Ganoderma lucidum, there is a faint portrait on the surface, look like Han Zhen when you look closely.

Then, many storytellers suddenly appeared in various tile markets, tea shops, restaurants, and even streets and alleys in the city.

In addition to talking about the Three Kingdoms Commentary, I also talked about the stone people and Ganoderma lucidum.

The world is about to be in chaos, and Han Zhen is a dragon born in accordance with the destiny of heaven.

The mountain god plays the drum to celebrate it.

After such an experience, the eyes of the people in the city who looked at Han Zhen were more in awe than before.

At this moment, in the lobby of the government office.

Liu Mi teased: "Zhao Zhizhou, congratulations!" ”

"Don't want to be happy, the noble person who announced the decree will come in a few days, so let's think about how to deal with it first."

Zhao Ting couldn't cry or laugh, if it was before, he would be ecstatic.

But now that they have all been thieves, what is the use of Emperor Zhao Song giving him a promotion?

Hearing this, Liu Mi smiled contemptuously: "This matter is easy to handle, those eunuchs are nothing more than asking for money." After arriving in the county town, the subordinate will arrange it, as long as the money is in place, he will not know anything! ”

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."

Han Zhen smiled and nodded.

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Zhao Ting again: "Zhao Zhizhou, what's going on with the war horse?" ”

5,000 heavy cavalry, at least 10,000 war horses.

The horses arrived a day early, and the cavalry could practice for one more day.

Zhao Ting restrained his smile and said, "County magistrate, the lower officials are still talking with the horse supervisors everywhere. ”

Han Zhen advised: "The price can be appropriately higher, you don't need to help me save money, but the quality of the war horse can't be bad!" ”

"Xiaguan Province!"

Zhao Ting nodded in response.
