Shao Song - Vol 2.3 Chapter 35

The autumn breeze is rustling, the sun is warm and the sun is warm, and the light and shadow are intertwined in the Mingdao Palace on the East Huainan Road of the Great Song Dynasty, and the air is refreshing and warm.

Not only that, at this moment, in this huge building complex that also has the functions of temples, gardens, and palaces, you can see armored warriors and nobles wearing vermilion everywhere. I don’t know how many great Song Wenwu are there. Here.

Among them, the apse hill with the highest position is even more guarded and orderly. From a distance, that side has already looked old, but still can represent the supreme authority, Jin Wuzheng is facing the wind.

Everything is exactly the same as ten years ago, and everything is completely different from ten years ago.

The bulletin boards of various passages have posted this itinerary early-it is very tight. Today is the limit of confluence and arrival. Tomorrow, you will have to burn incense and bathe in meditation. After three days, you will sacrifice. If you want to host a banquet again, it will only take six or seven days before and after it. Naturally, it will attract a lot of discussion in civil and military affairs.

Even Chen Gui, Liu Ji, Yan Xiaozhong and others are also a little nervous.

Of course, as Mr. Lu is old and virtuous, he can naturally go to rest early. In the absence of Hu Yin, Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun can still walk in the garden as calmly as they did ten years ago, and there may even be Lin Jingmo. Lin Shangshu made up for the position and made up the threesome.

The atmosphere is very harmonious.

“Speaking of which, did you watch “Journey to the West” the Last Time?” Zhao Ding casually said some gossip as he walked.

“I saw it.” Zhang Jun laughed at the scene, ignoring that there were people around. “Avalokitesvara said that eighty-one difficulties were not enough, so he brought out the old turtle that had been hidden dozens of times before turning over and drying out the wordless scriptures… But Tang Sanzang had a great enlightenment, saying that the Buddha still needs to be sent away under the seat of the Buddha. There are demons who eat people. Only the Dragon King of the Tang Dynasty rained at the wrong hour. As a result, the emperor failed to intercede. It can be said that the government is harmonious and the law is strict… It can be seen that the Buddhism has already spread to the east, the Tianzhu has long been empty, and the truth is at ease. Practicing freely at your feet…suddenly become a Buddha with one word…it is really Wu…Wu’s handwriting.”

Zhao Ding also laughed along with Twisted Xu: “It is indeed the work of everybody Wu.”

In this way, the two and Lin Jingmo laughed together for a while, and after a while, they saw a stone table and a stone bench under the shadow of a tree. Then I continued to chat…this action, the people around me had already avoided far away.

“The King of Jingsai County wrote a letter against this trip?”

Under the shadow of the tree, Prime Minister Zhao Ding thoughtfully.

“Yes.”

Zhang Jun stood with his hands folded, his face calm. “It is said that the Mingdao Palace is not good for the officials… The sacrificial matter can be done by the clerk, and the matter of proclaiming grace, why not do it in Tokyo… In short, the memorial conveyed by the Privy Council is to urge the officials not to come here.”

Zhao Ding nodded, then shook his head again: “What do you think of Xifu?”

“How can you see?”

Zhang Jun is still calm. “The official family did fall into the well here, and Junwang Yang was also embarrassed here… When he punished Kang Li on the day, Brother Yu and Gongxiang Lu were on the sidelines, and there were some taboos in their hearts that were common. It’s just…”

“only…?”

“It’s just that Yang Junwang wrote to the Privy Council instead of going to the Privy Council, but I don’t know what the intention was?”

“It’s impossible not to go through Miza.”

“That’s how Mizha and the Privy Council came together.” Zhang Jun confronted seriously. “The reaction has become more and more overdone… Is it true that you and I don’t know it?”

“What do you think of Lin Shangshu?” Zhao Ding hesitated for a moment before looking at Lin Jingmo who had been silent.

“The lower officials thought that King Yang was called the ruler, and he was actually the leader of the courtiers. Whatever he wants to say and how to say, the officials will care about it…We other courtiers don’t have to think too much.” Lin Jingmo did not hesitate to answer immediately. .

“I thought so too.”

Zhao Ding nodded and wiped it away. “It’s another matter, have you two heard of it?”

“What’s the matter?”

“Wan Tuo Yuan Zhong made the incident… Said that Zong, Lu, Wang, and Zhang were to be used as a special case to chase after the saints and gods, and Zonglu chased the saints into the Confucian Temple, and Wang and Zhang were here. Get a serious seal in the sacrifice.”

“Brother Shu Yu said frankly, this guy is afraid that Xiang Zhuang Wujian intends to use Pei Gong… what he wants to do is to lift these four up and not fight for the eighteen positions… but he is a little anxious, and the methods are too crude. Point, how can a living person like Lu Xianggong be in the same rank as the three dead? And what did Lu Xianggong of Yanjing say? They all say that the Northern Expedition has hollowed out his inside, and he can hardly survive the next winter… Do you want to enter together? Enter the temple or the gods?”

“Brother Yu thinks so too. I wait for scholars and don’t care about knights or gods. As for things like the Confucian Temple, it’s not about merits, but learning. It’s just not one yard next to each other… Today, you and I say something privately, if you really want to talk about the Confucian Temple, in the future, only Duke Lu will have a better grasp.”

“What’s not sure about Duke Lu?” Zhang Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly. “However, this matter is not to blame for Wanzuo Yuanzhong… The eighteen kings came out that day, and everyone was still talking about it, but now it is the turn of the civil servants to grab these eighteen positions, but none of them are too small. It’s really a little farther…it’s not just a millionaire who jumped up and down in this matter.”

“That’s true.”

“The lower officials thought that this might not be the case.” Just as Zhao and Zhang were discussing the matter frankly, Lin Jingmo, who had been silent behind him, suddenly spoke, attracting the two people in front to stop and look back.

“What do you think of Lin Shangshu?” Zhao Ding asked frankly.

“Wan Cheng’s move is naturally because Xiang Zhuang’s sword dance is intended for Pei Gong, but it is not, or is not just seeking to be ranked eighteen.” Lin Jingmo also stopped, replied like a stream of hands. “Because civil servants are not more than military generals, they have to re-schedule one after another. In ten years, the eighteenth honours must have been arranged in the official house. It is not something external forces can do, and the tactics used by Wanzuo are too much. Clumsy… The lower officials took the liberty of guessing. Wan Chen expected that he would not be able to get up all the time, so he said some grievances and reminded the officials not to forget him in exchange for tangible benefits!”

“Besides the honor, what else shouldn’t forget him?”

Zhang Deyuan looked surprised, but Zhao Yuanzhen frowned directly.

“Yen Jing.” Lin Jingmo glanced over the two mates, and answered seriously. “Didn’t there have been rumors about moving the capital a few months ago? Compared with the name behind him, Wan Teng Jing is slightly afraid that he wants to go further in his lifetime, right? If he can take this opportunity to transfer to Hebei, the governor will not be far away. NS.”

Hearing this, Prime Minister Zhao Ding seemed to have expected the generality a long time ago, but he was unmoved, and Zhang Jun, who was originally surprised, was also unexpectedly calm after hearing this, and even went too calmly.

After a short pause, the current minister and leader of the Mu Party turned around, looked at the current prime minister, and said calmly: “Brother Yuan Zhen, according to my foolish brother, Yan Jing is one thing. But it’s not a single thing, because the official family has returned…the official family has returned, and there will be people who can be the masters. Once the official family returns, the country will be peaceful…if the capital is not moved, the capital will not be moved, but if the capital is really to be moved, the official The family will inevitably tell it directly, and by then, will we still have to oppose it? It is opposition. With the prestige of the current officialdom, can it be achieved? Who is embarrassed who really caused the move of the Northern Wei Dynasty?”

After hearing this, Zhao Ding was silent for a while. After a while, after all, he nodded slightly, then turned and walked into the shadow of the tree. Upon seeing this, Zhang Jun looked back at Lin Jingmo and continued to follow him calmly.

As the sun sets, there is actually not much discussion left, and the next day will be regarded as an official sacrificial ceremony.

As everyone knows, the Zhao official’s behavior on certain things is actually very nonsense.

He likes to raise people to be gods, and he likes to write some strange and strange stories about ghosts and gods by himself, but he does not respect ghosts and gods and sacrifices… In the past, it was nothing more than to scrape the aisle ancestors and the Buddha’s golden body. At that time, it was really helpless…but Not to mention anything else, just a few months ago, I went to Chrysanthemum Island, and when I entered the door, I asked the abbot of Dalonggong Temple, which had been handed down for 70 or 80 years, what is called “Izao” and whether the water in the octagonal well can be obtained. Longevity, how long can you live by putting a few fish in, and forcing dozens of years old host to cry, it is not something ordinary officials can do.

Going back to the present, although Zhao Guan’s family kept saying that they were grateful for Daozu’s blessing, it was a ten-year achievement, so they came back with a wish, but when it came time to sacrifice, they were just perfunctory… The first three days of bathing and changing clothes were very improper, even during the period. He ran a horse to Wuhe and shot a duck. After three days, he officially began to worship. He just wore the old ancestral dress and made a shopkeeper, leaving Lu Haowen, Zhao Ding, Lu Benzhong, Yang Yi and others to toss. .

When it was really his turn, the official only went up and put a stick of incense on the altar outside the Xuanyuan Hall and in front of the Dao Ancestor Jin body in the Xuanyuan Hall.

It can only be said that fortunately, not a handful of incense sticks to Dao Ancestor’s face.

After another day, the official directly made an order to hold a banquet in front of the altar in the Xuanyuan Hall compound…no one dared to speak out and admonish, just follow the official fool. There are even quite a few shameless people citing scriptures and insisting that this is a proper act.

But one thing to say is that the banquet specifications are still very high. In addition to the necessary emperor and ministers, civil officials need to have the experience of the Central Secret Pavilion or the resume of the local manager. The generals should also start with the county king. It seems that this banquet can really be Decide many things.

And the officials did not disappoint everyone’s expectations.

On this day, the sky was clear, the autumn was high, and the banquet had just opened, and Zhao Guanjia went directly to the topic.

“Zhuqing.”

Sitting on the high ground in front of the stage, Zhao Jiu raised a glass and drank himself, and then said with a smile. “Lao Tzu said:’The success is accomplished, and the people say: I am natural.’ When Han Zhaolie entered the king of Hanzhong, he also said,’Then he succeeded, the ministers waited to retreat and rectify the crime, although there is no hatred for death’. But Well, those are saints and famous kings, and we can’t compare…Why come here to make sacrifices? Isn’t it because of the autumn ten years ago, we made up our minds not to go to Yangzhou, and instead gritted our teeth against gold? Destroying, the northern border is leveled, it is a success, so I came back to give a report to Daozu his old man…Now that the sacrifice is over, we don’t have to be humble about some things… Duke Lu?”

“The old minister is here.”

The person closest to Zhao Jiu immediately got up from his seat.

“No need to get up.”

Zhao Jiu pours himself a glass of wine again, just holding the glass as a sign. “We can talk about heroes with wine in this room… The military commander wants to discuss military exploits, this thing has been settled… Let’s say that the order of the decision…

The courtyard suddenly became quiet, and only the sound of Qiu Cicada and Qiu Shu’s whirling voices were clearly audible.

And Lu Haowen sat back to the original place, but also calmly: “When the minister hears everything, there must be a beginning. In the past, when Jingkang was difficult, the world was depressed. There are countless peacemakers and retreats, and the ministers are at a loss. At this time, It was Li Gang, Li Gongxiang and Zong Zezong who stayed one inside and one outside, resisting public opinion, and insisting on resisting gold. Not only that, at that time the officialdom was first ascended to the big treasure and left outside, but it was not for Li Gongxiang to rebuild the court, and the court would be difficult. Resurrection; if the clan stays behind and sticks to Tokyo, the Central Plains will be exhausted, and the country is hopeless… These two are the red flags of resistance to gold, and the backbone of the country…there is no way to speak.”

“That’s right. Without Li and Zong’s decision-making, the country would have disappeared a long time ago. What happened later… Zong Zhongwu was older, and he had already devoted himself to death, so he took Zong Zhongwu to die One, Duke Li is the second best.” At this point, Zhao Jiu raised his glass and looked around. “Zhuqing, and for the two anti-gold red flags to float a lot.”

Everyone didn’t dare to neglect, they just turned back from Taiyuan in a hurry, and Li Yanxian, who was wanted by Li Gang, also toasted calmly—in fact, the civil servants here seem to be the first and not easy to arrange, but in fact, as Lin Jingmo said, they are human beings. Everyone has a steelyard in his heart.

Moreover, the particularity of the position of **** is also placed here, so most of the eighteen positions have a spectrum in everyone’s mind, nothing more than the last few positions.

Sure enough, after Lu Haowen proposed Zong Ze and Li Gang, Zhao Ding proposed five people: Lu Haowen, Lu Yihao, Wang Boyan, Yu Wen Xuzhong, and Xu Jingheng.

These five people came to power during the Nanyang period. They were the partners who actually maintained the country’s operation and the anti-golden cause during the most difficult period in the early period…

And Zhang Jun added that Zhang Suo, who died in his country, was added.

When it was Liu Ji’s turn to speak, the current deputy minister was a little unexpected. He went over himself and the old rules and proposed Zhao Ding, Zhang Jun, Hu Yin, and Lin Jingmo together.

The reason is that these four people are the backbone of the anti-golden officials who have been serving in the imperial front since the Palgong Mountain.

However, Chen Gui supplemented Liu Ziyu, who had followed Bagong Mountain.

Next, it was Lin Jingmo’s turn to speak with Liu Ziyu, and the two naturally reciprocated, and each of them pushed out Liu Ji and Chen Gui, the two Nanyang clergymen.

By this time, there were already a total of fifteen people, no wonder even Wan Qiandao dared not ask for such a position.

However, for the last three people, the controversy is inevitably a bit bigger.

Someone suggested Wang Shu because Wang Shu was not only a firm stand against the Jin Dynasty, but also the military and political leader of Guanzhong before the court controlled Guanzhong… Some people directly pointed out that Qu Duan threatened Wang Shu and Wang Shu insisted on his position.

Fortunately, Qu Duan stayed in Yan Yun, otherwise it would be another embarrassment.

It was also suggested that Hu Hongxiu, who believed that Hu Hongxiu had a peculiar merit in Xixia.

Others suggested Li Guang and Ma Shen, others suggested Liu Hongdao, who was serving as a comfort ambassador in northern Xinjiang, and some even suggested Zhang Qi who died in Huainan after Bagong Mountain.

In the end, Zhang Jun, who was on the same road, couldn’t help but interjected, untimely mentioning Wan Qian.

However, for these suggestions, the Zhao official’s family just poured it out and let the argument go. It was not until the end that he waved his hand to the conclusion: “What you said is good… But if you put it all on, it will be too arrogant… I mean, Wang Shu. Yes, otherwise Qu Duan will lose the election. Wouldn’t it be unconvincing?”

Many people nodded, this is indeed a problem…not only the internal merits and qualifications of the civil servants, but also the factors on the military commander’s side. Apart from Wang Shu, the other most obvious example is that Lin Jingmo and Hu Yin belonged to Zhang Rong and Yue Fei respectively. ‘Guarantee’.

Of course, Wang Shu himself is second only to Zaizhi in terms of qualifications, position, and meritorious service, and he is also the one with less controversy.

“Taijian can’t have a place.” Zhao Jiu continued to drink a glass of wine before pointing at one of the people in the seat. “Non-Yushi Zhongcheng is always on the alert, that the state may fall into the whole army, and without individual control… Li Zhongcheng is worthy of this task.”

Li Guang really didn’t object this time, instead he stood up and thanked him.

It was a horse stretched out, and I knew that with Li Guang, I was afraid that he would have no chance, and even if he pretended not to be a person with a false name, he couldn’t help but feel a little sad at this time.

Sure enough, the Zhao Guanjia glanced over Ma Shen, continued to pour a glass of wine, but paused again: “Zhuqing, the ten-year work of Jianyan we are talking about today is the work of fighting against Jin, Shao and Song. As for Zhang Chi and Zhang Xianggong, Even earlier Zhang Shuye and Liu Yun, of course, are heroes, but there is no need to squeeze here.”

Everyone nodded one after another, which was a matter of course.

“As for one spot left, I want to give Liu Hongdao.” Zhao Jiu drank the glass of wine and finally made up his mind. “It’s not that Hu Hongxiu’s lack of merit, but to borrow his Xixia’s outstanding merits, let him suppress the battle, and other people in the province will not be convinced… And Hu Jinglue is still young after all. The ambassador, starting from the great defeat of Qingzhou, he has worked hard, defeated and won the battle, and the people’s livelihood. In the past ten years, he has been tossing the rivers and seas, going north and south, and he has always stood firm and made a lot of contributions. There should be a saying.”

As soon as this statement came out, the eighteenths were all in the list, and the bureaucrats who had no place on the scene were lost, but also somewhat relieved…this matter has tortured them for a long time.

“The eighteen people are Zong Ze, Li Gang, Lu Haowen, Lu Yihao, Wang Boyan, Zhao Ding, Zhang Jun, Hu Yin, Yu Wen Xuzhong, Xu Jingheng, Liu Ji, Chen Gui, Zhang Suo, Lin Jingmo, Liu Ziyu, Wang Boyan in order. Shu, Li Guang, and Liu Hongdao.” After Zhao Jiu finished reading in turn, he commanded. “Prepare with the Ministry of Etiquette. All princes and executives will be awarded princes, and the rest of the county princes… don’t have to refuse. This is what you deserve… The following commanding officers and other heroes will also be added to the public, marquis, and uncles… and then the thirty-six civil and military ministers. , When the book is a biography, save the portrait, and then divide it into two, one is hung in the secret pavilion, and the other is hung in the Yanjing Shangshutai.”

The scene suddenly stagnated.

“I know what you are asking.”

As soon as Zhao Ding was about to get up, Zhao Jiu waved his hand directly. “Yes, I have made up my mind to move the capital to Yenching… There are three reasons. Once this decade of war has been poisoned, the population of the North has been lost and the economy is weak, if the center cannot assume an absolute posture, I am afraid that it will not be able to make the North from its roots. Reinvigorate.”

Everyone sat silently with their hands alone.

“Secondly, a piece of white paper is good for painting. The original dynasty had many chronic diseases, and it became the difficulty of Jingkang. If I wanted to learn from the old Song and establish a new one, I should always find a way to get rid of the chaos of the old dynasty… The northern dynasty was cleaned up very clean this time. The roads in Hebei are mostly good families and self-employed farmers. There is no place for generations of family and whole prefecture landlords… After going to Yanjing, the surrounding areas can be cleaner.”

Some people wanted to say something but stopped, but they didn’t say it after all.

“The last reason is that Yanjing is the head of Hebei, and just as the southeast is the place of wealth for the state, Hebei is also the military of the state… If you don’t firmly control Hebei, how can you make northern Xinjiang peaceful?” Zhao Jiu looked around everyone. “After all, Zhuqing thought about it. We spent ten years in winning this battle, and then? Then, will the world be peaceful? What if Mongolia gets up? What if the people of Bohai get up? how?”

The atmosphere was completely solidified, and there was no essay, Lu Haowen, Han Shizhong, they all sat down.

And Zhao Guan’s family seems to be drunk, and there is gradually a feeling of emotion in his words:

“What do you think about each one? Ten years ago, at this time, right here, we were a group of bereaved dogs, perched, almost wanting to subdue the country. I want to reverse my thoughts and turn back to fight against the war. Exiled to the prime minister… and today, we are celebrating our merits and celebrating, but we are only celebrating that we have survived this national war, and if we win the Song and Jin national war, can everything be all right?

“On Chrysanthemum Island before, I issued an edict…At that time, I was able to perceive the thoughts of those northern frontier tribes, but you were tyrannical for a while, and I was cautious for a while. In the long run, who puts those things at ease? It’s me. Do you expect to use a few edicts to establish the foundation of the world? It is just a big victory. First set a framework, first stabilize, and then get out of the internal affairs…When you are strong, everything will be done!

“And how do internal affairs start? It’s up to you ministers and important ministers, that is, the princes, who lead the secret pavilion and the court pavilion, to carry the country up, and then we will take the lead in doing the most important and most important things that need us to suppress the battle, just like before. Like ten years…

“First Xiuhe, but not only Xiuhe, we must use Xiuhe to slowly and imperceptibly do the disarmament and capital transfer…

“Moving the capital is not to move here all at once. It is not necessary. Lu Xianggong is not healthy. When the time comes, he can give Liangchen the position of the pivot. Hu Yin will add a deputy in the name of assisting Xiuhe and sit in Yanjing together. Let’s slow down. Slowly, it takes three years to five years to complete, and ten years to eight years slower, you can slowly move the secret pavilion to Yanjing or our side. You can also run a copy of any mansion newspaper in Hebei, and Xinke Jinshi can follow me. Hebei Point Check…When the river repairs are completed, I am almost used to it, and then officially move the capital…

“The 300,000 soldiers of the imperial battalion are too many. Without the 200,000 households of Jurchen, what are you doing with so many soldiers? Change some guard troops, and reduce the imperial battalion to 200,000 first, and 20,000 to 30,000 in Liaoyang outside the Great Wall is enough. Yes, Yanjing 50,000, Central Plains 10,000 to 20,000, Hedong 20,000 to 30,000, Guanxi 20,000 to 30,000, and the southeast is scattered with 10,000 to 20,000. The inland navy can maintain the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, but the navy can add…

“And if you reduce the number of soldiers, you can gradually reduce the tax and levies in the south, otherwise I won’t be at ease…

“Repairing rivers, disarming, and moving capitals, while strengthening control over the surrounding states, is to let the inside recuperate, and then look at our inner foundation in the future, and then tentatively think about how to make the three edicts from three empty texts into real ones. Liu Guan…control if you can control, you can control you, you can control the officials, you can teach Buddhism, and Confucianism should be promoted, but you must do what you can. If you step too far, it is easy to be nonsense! ”

At this moment, everyone was sure that the officials did drink too much, but no one dared to treat these words as drunk. On the contrary, whether it was Lu Haowen, who had already faded out, or he was appointed as a formal deputy. The state-level leader, Han Shizhong, who has completed the process of entering and leaving, all pricked their ears, as serious as possible.

Zhao Jiu poured himself wine again, only to find that the jug was empty. The servant Feng Yi, who had just returned to the side of the official house, quickly offered another one, but was repelled by the Zhao official’s slightly impatient:

“Compared with Northern Xinjiang, it is in Xiliao. When the country is a little more stable, you can directly claim the six states of Hexi and push the territory to Yumen Pass. Yelu Dashi will not refuse to give it, and I dare not give it… and, if I am As expected, in my lifetime, I can not only see the Yelu Dashi ravaged the Western Regions for thousands of miles, but also see the gradual decline of the country after his death… In the old days, Han Wu took the Western Regions and the Huns were destroyed. If there is one day, it will not be impossible to take the Western Regions and join the North. Xinjiang, Dingqingtang… But this one is far away.

“Just say that when Hexi is in hand, you can manage the Western Regions, or you can gradually moisten and raise the Qingtang broken into tiles. The place is too poor and the geography is too much, but it can be used as a barrier or an outside line to support one or two. Later, if you can extend your hand to Jinchuan and Dali in the southwest, you will have a real opportunity to do something…

“Vietnam in the southeast depends on the development of sea trade, and the navy is strong, and there is really no need to think about annexation and liquor. According to my opinion, the most important thing in Vietnam is the business of rice and rice, regardless of maintaining the status quo. To annex by force, we must first ensure that Vietnamese rice can be transported to the southeast along the sea trade…

“So, again, there are always opportunities, but all of this must be about steps, geography, benefits, and doing what you can… If you can’t move a big sword, you won’t move.

“There is only one place where I made up my mind. I did not hesitate to fight, but not outside, but inside… In the south, mergers must be suppressed! Must be in line with Hebei and Central Plains. I dare not say that the rise and fall of the dynasty is determined. Here, but at least it is an important lesson of Jingkang’s difficulties? How many days have Fang La and Zhong Xiang gone? Therefore, who dares to merge, who dares to dream of 100,000 acres of land, I will be like dealing with the Jurchen Wanyan clan. , To’annihilate’ him!

“In short, internally, we must move the capital and disarmament, rest and rejuvenate, curb mergers, encourage commerce and trade, especially maritime trade, and try our best to build rivers and promote the original learning; externally, we must appropriately strengthen the control of northern Xinjiang and expand peacefully in the West. Try not to move the big swordsmen…this is our next 20 years, or even 30 years…Anyway, it is the outline of the country before my death. I don’t know how much I can do, and how much I can achieve… Everyone, the old Song is full of grievances. The journey of the new Song Dynasty is coming soon, but who has any doubts?”

“Although the minister is old, I would like to follow the official’s family to make another journey.”

In fact, Qunchen reacted differently at first. But soon, under the leadership of Lu Haowen, who had reacted, Zhao Ding, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, and Li Yanxian did not dare to delay the civil and military for a while, and got up one after another. Waiting for Lu Hao asked to speak, and then one after another shouted and worshiped.

Orally, I would like to follow the official family to do the journey again.

No one dares to hesitate.

And so far, everyone knows that this is the real meat of the Mingdao Palace attendance.

“Get up all!”

Zhao Jiu laughed on the spot, and sighed again when everyone sat back. “Are there any of you who think that I am going to be lazy from now on? Is there someone who thinks that I am a little troublesome? Does anyone think that I want to do too much, and that I will be too hard to follow me in the future, so that I will live for a while? cowardly?”

“So that the officials know that the minister was indeed timid just now.”

Seeing the atmosphere calm down completely, sitting at the bottom of the Beijing East-West Road Jing made Wan Yumao miss the opportunity to speak a little bit of jokes. “But when I think of the rigors and hardships of the previous ten years, the officials can take us out…the future will be no matter how hard it is, why are you afraid?”

Zhao Jiu laughed again.

After laughing, the official turned his head and looked at the Xuanyuan Temple behind him, but thoughtfully: “Speaking of which, I drank too much and my mouth broke a little. I just said it, but almost forgot. One thing, fortunately, Wan Cheng reminded me a little…”

Everyone hurriedly assumed a serious posture, but after experiencing the small goals of the previous twenty years, this seriousness meant a bit of acting.

“Actually, I was also timid before.” Zhao Jiu was serious. “But there is no way. Since you are in this position, you should know that the road is ahead. If you don’t walk, you won’t… If you don’t walk, you will betray the people of the world… The same is true for you. Enjoy, and even retrograde trend… We’ve experienced so much, don’t you understand? The so-called heroes of time are nothing but mortals. If mortals bite their teeth, they are the heroes of the moment, so don’t be because of your own. Achievement and self-righteousness.”

“There are always officials in front.”

Han Shizhong was vigilant and immediately stated his position. “The minister will not lose the official family.”

“It’s not that I’m undermining me, and the official is the official. Zhao Jiu is Zhao Jiu, the former is the position, the latter is the human, but the position is biased and people are required to live.” Zhao Jiu looked at his most trusted military minister, and shook his head for a moment. . “I said there is one more thing. I really don’t mean to beat you, or even self-excuse. It’s just that there is a truth, a matter of mind, such as the throat. I will not say it today, I will not let you understand, and I will not express myself. I feel uncomfortable, but if I say it directly, I am afraid that few people can remember it, and I myself will be a little paralyzed…”

“Officials can speak bluntly, and ministers and others should remember.” Li Yanxian also got up and gave his hands.

“Don’t speak bluntly, let me ask a question first…” Zhao Jiu laughed again, but poured himself a glass of wine again. “Just now we decided on the eighteen deeds of Jianyan’s ten-year meritorious service, and we also arranged the order… Then dare to ask all the heroes, Jianyan’s decisive victory, it is your thirty-six civil, military and martial arts together. Or is it my meritorious service?”

Li Yanxian and Han Shizhong couldn’t talk anymore, so they instinctively looked at a few mates, and in the quiet front yard of Xuanyuan Hall, Lu Haowen hesitated for a while, after all he stood up.

“The minister took the liberty to say that since ancient times, the goodness comes from the superior, and the minister thinks that the merit should also come from the superior…” Lu Haowen was a little careful in his words. “Of course, the meritorious servants have done a great deal, but the officials are the emperor, and they have been appointed to the heavens for ten years. If the officials are not in their positions, they will determine their policies and guide them, so that the world will resist gold, and at the same time they will appoint ministers, etc., Where are the merits of the ministers? Most of the merits of the ministers should be counted on the officials.”

“It makes sense.”

Zhao Jiu nodded, but asked more seriously. “But if that’s the case, one hundred rulers, hundreds of state and county officials, together are not as good as the thirty-six heroes? After all, if it were not for the thirty-six decision-making strategists headed by Wu Zhixun, the following How do people do things?”

“Your Majesty, this is different.”

Zhao Ding quickly got up and took the words. “Controlling officials and state and county officials are also appointed by the officials. Although they listen to the words of our chiefs and marshals, they must also know the decisions of the officials and understand the rewards and punishments of the officials… and the officials and other rewards and punishments are nothing more than Use official strategies and authority.”

“So, is my feat the most?” Zhao Jiu tried to laugh.

“Exactly.” Zhao Ding tried his best to be right.

“So that’s it.” Zhao Jiu nodded and continued to pour himself a glass of wine. “But I still don’t understand… I obviously just sat under the dragon’s bow and pointed the direction, so did Yaoshan and the deer… If you said that there was no feat of leading by example, it would be nonsense. Tens of thousands of soldiers died in the war, and hundreds of thousands of national soldiers fell like a landslide. How could it not be my feat that I just sat there alone?”

“So that the official family knows that the official family is the emperor, the emperor, and enjoys the world.” Although he didn’t know what the official family was going to do, Zhang Jun had to get up. “And the emperor, the lord of creatures, and the school of Xingyi…There are some things, and the official sitting there is enough.”

“It seems to make sense.” Zhao Jiu nodded, took a drink and drank it, but shook his head again, and then pointed to the Xuanyuan Hall behind him. “But if you say so, what will the latter say?”

Several mates, connected with the two marshals, were taken aback together, and they didn’t react for a while.

“He was just sitting there…” Zhao Jiu continued to say, pointing sideways to the back. “Moreover, I sit taller and closer to the world. Doesn’t that mean that all of our work for the past ten years will be attributed to him? And think about it carefully, didn’t we also pay special respects the day before yesterday, thanking him ?”

The crowd raised their heads blankly, only to realize what the officials were talking about.

Behind is the Xuanyuan Hall, and in the Xuanyuan Hall is Li Er. Of course, Li Er is just a name, an incarnation of Dao Ancestor, Dao Ancestor is Tao! It is the embodiment of the fundamental avenue of heaven and earth!

The official family enjoys the four seas, but the four seas are bestowed by the ancestors.

The official family is the emperor, but the Taoist ancestor itself contains the sky.

This is a well-known truth, and from this truth, Zhao Guan’s words seem to make sense…

But, so but…everyone knows that it’s just a wood carving painted with gold dust!

“Officials.”

Just when several comrades were frustrated, another person stood up tremblingly, but it was Jingsai County King Yang Yizhong, who bowed his head earnestly. “The official family is the emperor, and the Taoist ancestor is the god. If you don’t interfere, don’t care about these…”

“Fairy! Emperor! Zaizhi! Marshal!” Zhao Jiu sighed, then stood up and looked back at Liu Yan, another county king. “Ping Fu, please come out for me who is sitting in the hall…”

Yang Yizhong raised his head with a pale face; while Lu Haowen, Zhao Ding, and the seven or eight civil servants who were as quick-minded as Lin Jingmo in the seat, raised their heads and fixed their eyes on the official Zhao’s family. Liu Yan, just like the others, was a little dazed, but he didn’t care too much. Having obtained the decree, he immediately signaled.

Although the ban straights don’t know what the officials are doing, how can a wooden sculpture hesitate? Daozu really blames them, and they can’t be blamed on them through the official family, right?

So, after a while, a huge wooden sculpture that had obviously just been rubbed with gold powder and received the incense yesterday was lifted out and placed on the empty altar behind Zhao Guan’s house.

Zhao Jiu poured himself a glass of wine again and drank it all at once. Then he stood up drunk, and then ordered a squad: “Go to the firewood room and get an axe for me.”

The people who were already slightly boiled only felt a buzz in their heads, almost dumbfounded, and then panicked.

But the biggest reaction was the King of Jingsai County.

“Officials!”

Regardless of everything, Yang Yizhong went straight to the steps between Zhao Guan’s house and the wooden sculpture, then knelt sideways, and kowtowed. “At this point, why should officials care about it?”

“Zhengfu, I didn’t care, I just wanted to do a primitive experiment in front of Zhu Qing.” Zhao Jiu immediately laughed again. “If I don’t do this experiment, I feel uneasy… Think about it, it’s us, the people of the world, who have worked hard for ten years, how can it be based on the principles of fairness that in the end it is only his wood carving credit? This is not fair!”

In retrospect, some people tried to agree but they immediately closed their mouths. Some had already turned pale, while others flushed, and some even watched with relief with only a kind of boots landing.

But Yang Yizhong was the most nervous.

After a while, the duty sent the chopping axe to Yang Yizhong, who took the first step, bowed down again, and sincerely responded:

“The official! If the official has to do this, the minister is willing to do it for you!”

“The minister is willing to do it for you.” Although Han Shizhong didn’t quite understand, he immediately followed.

“No need…Zhengfu.” Zhao Jiu shook his head and held out his hand. “I Ning was condemned by the heavens today, so I have to do it myself… And, do you really bear to see me keep dodge like this? Give it to me… Give it to me!”

Yang Yizhong hesitated for a while, but finally he finally handed over the axe, but he almost shed tears. At this time, Zhang Jun also suddenly became panicked, and then he attracted Han Shizhong, who was next to him, who was “unable to do it for me,” looked at the officer in surprise. It’s just a woodcarving **** who is mad at home because of alcohol, can it really be condemned by the gods?

If he said this, he should have been condemned in Yan’an Mansion thirty years ago.

What’s going on one by one?

However, many people can’t help but think, Zhao Jiu has already taken the axe, gritted his teeth again, and finally walked forward by Jiu Jin, until he reached the front of the statue, he felt a little emotional:

“Old man… no matter if you have spirit or no spirit… I will come to see you again after all success today… whatever you want, I will do it anyway.”

After feeling emotional, Zhao Jiu stepped on the opponent’s knee, waved his axe, kicked up half his body, and struggling directly at the forehead of the Taoist woodcarving.

This axe was so hard that it directly wedges into the forehead and cannot be removed.

Zhao Jiu tried two times, but gave up altogether, and jumped off instead, first stomped his feet on the ground, and then raised his head to look at the sky above his head.

But the astronomical phenomenon hasn’t changed. The autumn wind is still rustling, the sun is warm and the sun is warm, but Yang Yizhong, who has followed up, has already fallen on the side with sweat.

“The **** fairy emperor.”

After a while, Zhao Jiu, who was also sweating, suddenly muttered in a low voice. Although his voice was low, it was enough to fall into the ears of all the important officials in the silent courtyard. When he turned his head, the official pointed to his forehead again. The woodcarving with an axe on the top laughed and looked at the people below. “Zhou Qing, this Dao ancestor seems to be reasonable, knowing that the credit belongs to us mortals, so he didn’t get angry…but you, don’t learn from me, because I haven’t reached the righteous result yet, and I don’t have such a measure!”

After that, the official raised his head and laughed. After laughing for a long time, the tears of laughter came out. The laughter made several people in the seat try to accompany laughter several times, but they couldn’t laugh.

And finally, Zhao Jiu finally stopped smiling, and then with a booze, he sternly announced in front of the statue that was hit by an axe on his forehead, “Everyone, I just proved one thing, that was the previous ten years. The deeds that we have done to eradicate Jin Shaosong are not the divine will of grace… at least it is not the divine will of grace… the one who really dominates this magnificent accomplishment is ultimately you, it’s between heaven and earth. All the Song people from here! The alive, the dead, the coming, the not coming! All!”

Lu Haowen had been prepared for a long time and was supposed to take the lead again, but for some reason, it may be because of his old age and declining temper. It may be because he had drunk a few glasses of wine. At this time, he heard the official drunkenness, but the current public minister suddenly There was a soreness in his nose, and he was lost for a while.

But Zhao Guanjia didn’t care. After he said a word, he turned his head and signaled to Yang Yizhong: “Chop this wood carving into pieces and fill it in the well in the backyard. Don’t delay the feast for everyone! As for Zhuqing, it belongs to you all. Today, let’s no longer talk about the future and don’t care about the past, and we will just close the door and let the waves go, just to congratulate the victory!”

Everyone just crashed.

It was the sun, the sky was clear and the wind was clear, the breeze was smooth, the emperor Jianyan was drunk in Mingdao Palace, and he returned to Tokyo three days later.

On the day when he returned to Beijing, the tabloid of the Hanlin scholar Lu Benzhong re-published a new song “Langtaosha” newly filled in by the official family on Chrysanthemum Island a month ago. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
