Chapter 213 Huang Luqing County

PreviousBack to directoryNext
In the seventh month of the eighth year of Yuanfeng, Guisi Shuo came, and all the officials lived together.

Zhao Xu did not go as usual and slept in the Funing Palace.

When I woke up, the sun was almost reaching my buttocks.

I quickly wash up, have breakfast, and then go for a jog in the garden.

Yes, now Zhao Xu has gradually started running in the morning, of course, in order to take care of his body and give his lungs enough time to buffer, repair and develop.

Generally speaking, it takes about five minutes, which is about jogging around the imperial garden corridor behind Funing Palace.

After finishing the run, Zhao Xu sat on a stone bench and panted.

He could feel that his body was getting healthier day by day.

Subcutaneous fat and muscles are slowly increasing. Compared with when he woke up in Qingning Palace, he has now gained thirteen pounds and is no longer thin. There is obviously flesh on his face and body.

My height has also grown by almost three inches (approximately 10CM) and is now close to four feet (approximately 126cm)!

However, it's not enough!

Zhao Xu knew that many eight-year-old children in modern times can grow to 1.4 meters.

Therefore, nutrition cannot be stopped, nor can calcium supplementation be stopped.

While Zhao Xu was resting, Feng Jing came to him and wiped Zhao Xu's sweat with a silk cloth while saying: "Everyone, many people in the daily life are impeaching the Central Secretary today..."

Zhao Xu maintained his usual silence.

Feng Jing continued to report: "The Jiaozhi tribute envoy from Dutingyi left Beijing yesterday!"

"I heard that Yang Jingwen, deputy envoy of Jiaozhi, had some conflicts with the doctor of the Ministry of Rites when he left Beijing..."

"Oh!" Zhao Xu finally said: "How dare the deputy envoy of the vassal state bark in front of the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the superior state?"

"What does the Ministry of Rites do for food? Why don't you go to the memorial?!"

Feng Jing lowered his head and said: "It is said that Mr. Han, the Minister of Rites, does not want to cause trouble..."

Zhao Xu chuckled.

This is indeed what officials of the Song Dynasty would do. When in trouble, they would shrink their heads and bury them in the sand and pretend that nothing happened!

However, little did they know that doing so would only embolden the enemy!

but……

What is strong is the courage of Cochin people!?

That’s okay!

Zhao Xu hoped that the Jiaozhi people would take the initiative to provoke and even send troops to invade!

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu suddenly asked: "The deputy envoy is called Yang Jingwen, right?"

Feng Dingding nodded.

"Good!" Zhao Xu commented.

The Yang family is a wealthy family in northern Jiaozhi!

If Zhao Xu remembers correctly, Yang Jingtong, who is now almost like a vassal town in the north of Jiaozhi, once robbed Guangxi border residents during the Yuanyou era.

Then during the Shaosheng era, he was violently beaten by Zhao Xu in revenge.

So, Yang Jingwen is Yang Jingtong’s clansman, or even his brother?

More fun!

"Tell Shi Deyi!" Zhao Xu ordered: "Select warriors from the Detective Department and go to Guihua Prefecture on Guangnan West Road to find out the information. If there are any Jiaozhi invaders, report them to Bianjing!"

"Yes!" Feng Jing accepted the order and was about to do it.

Zhao Xu stopped him: "Tell Shi Deyi that the reward must be enough!"

"Warriors who are willing to go will receive a monthly salary plus twenty guanshoumo!"

"If you die unfortunately, you can be given an official post, and your descendants can be appointed as personal followers of the imperial army!"

This is the iron rice bowl!

The Great Song Dynasty maintained the Imperial City's Imperial Guards generously. Even if the Imperial Guards in the Imperial City were old, lost their labor force, and had no relatives to support them, Zhao Xu would support them.

The imperial city's marriage officials, personal servants, and Yulongzhizhi all have a residual army command system to place these people.

Almost complete welfare coverage from cradle to grave!

Therefore, after Zhao Xu ascended the throne, he no longer worried about anyone who could threaten his position.

All the relatives, subordinates, and officials in the entire imperial city are his people!

Absolutely obey the orders and obey the command!

In his previous life, as soon as Zhao Xu came to power, he carried out a purge of the entire empire.

Song Yongchen, Liu Weijian and others took Zhao Xu's edict and read it to these people. They all immediately defected and obeyed the emperor's edict.

Even now, to be honest, as long as Zhao Xu issues an edict, these people will obey!

Because they have been completely tamed by the imperial power, leaving only their loyalty to Zhao Guan's family!

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of these people may be the worst in the entire Song Dynasty.

no way.

You can't make a feudal army achieve these three things at the same time: absolute loyalty, strong combat effectiveness, and strict military discipline.

At most, you can only do two of them.

The Imperial City Forbidden Army gave up their combat effectiveness in exchange for absolute loyalty and strict military discipline.



In the next few days, a big split began within the Yushitai.

Almost all the censors began to criticize Huang Lu.

This put Huang Lu under great pressure!

Huang Lu's close confidant, the censor Huang Jiang, was deposed as an official in Shouzhou on the third day of the seventh lunar month.

Huang Jiang was sent to inspect the Salt Law on Jiangxi Road and was replaced by Zhang Ruxian, a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

At the same time, another minister joined the Yushitai.

On Bingshen (the fourth day of the Lunar New Year), he served as a doctor, and Sun Juejia, the secretary and young eunuch, served as a lecturer. He was relegated to the post of secretary and young eunuch and became the right secretary to advise.

This also comes from the recommendation of Lu Gongzhu.

As soon as Sun Jue took office, he immediately impeached Huang Lu.

The New Party censors who were originally in the censor's office also began to rebel and impeach Huang Lu Lianzhan.

Huang Lu had no choice but to impeach himself and express his loyalty, saying: I am not reluctant to leave, but because I care about the kindness of Emperor Daxing, I beg to stay in Beijing until the mausoleum of Emperor Daxing is completed before resigning.

At the same time, he announced that he would shut himself up and reflect on his mistakes, bowing his head and admitting defeat.

Huang Lu felt that if he did this, he should be flattered, right?

Facts have proved that he thought too much!

Dingyou (the fifth day of the lunar month).

The right prime minister, Han Jiang, led the governors of the capital, gathered the officials and above, the royal family, and the military officials in the capital, and went to the social altar in the southern suburbs to pray to God.

Therefore, Deng Runfu immediately reported: He asked Heaven to ask for a posthumous title, and God gave him the title: English Liewu Shengxiao The emperor's temple said: Shenzong.

The edict of the two palaces: respectfully obey!

Just like that, on the main tablet of the Zan Palace God in Jinling Palace, there were suddenly more words: Emperor Song, English, Liewu, Shengxiao, and the God of the Emperor.

Don’t ask, asking is a gift from God!

I, the Great Song Dynasty, have truly received the destiny and become the orthodoxy of the world!

However, unfortunately, the emperors of Daliao also felt that they were the orthodox ones decreed by destiny.

If you don’t believe it, you can take a look at the skeleton of the black dragon that Taizu himself shot and killed enshrined in Emperor Taizu’s underground palace!

You can also look through the various auspicious records when Taizu was born: divine light belongs to the sky, strange fragrance fills the air, dreams are inspired by gods, dragon, tin and gold are worn!

These are all things everyone knows.

Of course, both the Liao and Song dynasties would rarely mention these things in their diplomatic exchanges to avoid causing trouble.

The people in power in both countries currently want to rely on the wisdom of future generations.

Only Zhao Xu did not want to rely on the wisdom of future generations.

After the Ying Liwu Shengxiao Emperor returned to the throne, the next day on Wuxu Day (the sixth day of the Lunar New Year), the Yushitai once again concentrated on impeaching the Yushi Zhongcheng Huang Lu.

Zuo Si admonished Liu Zhi, and even publicly called Huang Lu a "treacherous and rebellious subject", believing that he continued to be in love only because he had "unpredictable intentions" in his heart.

Other censors followed suit.

Huang Lu finally couldn't bear the pressure and went to court to appeal to the county.

Note: The Northern Song Dynasty censor Zhongcheng’s nickname was Zhongsi.

Note 2: Yang Jingtong was the governor of Liangzhou in the Li Dynasty of Jiaozhi and the governor of Guangyuan Silang and other states. He was a veritable vassal town! He was also the front-line military leader facing the Northern Song Dynasty.

The official positions and system in Jiaozhi at this time basically followed the Tang system.
