Chapter 725 Lin Yuanjing: When my son comes, Daming Mansion will be at peace!
Daming Mansion.
As the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Beijing was not only a throat connecting the north and the south, but also a key barrier blocking the Khitans from going south.
Since the Central Plains lost the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun and the Kaifeng area was a flat plain with no danger to defend, it was directly exposed to the threat of foreign tribes. The Liao cavalry set out from Youzhou and could reach Bianliang in only three days, so they defended the capital.
The number of imperial guards must be so huge.
But just banning the army was not enough. The emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty wanted to move the capital more than once. Even during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, he had plans to move the capital to Luoyang. Because the Liao Kingdom was about to invade the south again, many ministers advocated continuing to negotiate peace, and even fled directly to Luoyang.
However, the words of the official Lu Yijian put an end to this behavior: "The Khitans were able to cross the river. Even though the city was high and the city was deep, how could they rely on it? I heard that the Khitans were afraid of the strong and cowardly, so they rushed to Luoyang and died to demonstrate."
The translation is: "If the capital is moved to Luoyang and the Khitan army is allowed to cross the Yellow River without resistance, no matter how high the city wall is and how deep the city is, how can it stop the enemy's attack? The Khitan people are afraid when they encounter toughness and are timid when they encounter it.
To bully others and move the capital to Luoyang in a hurry is to show weakness to the enemy and lose one's own prestige, which is absolutely undesirable."
Of course, Lu Yijian not only proposed the consequences, but also proposed a solution. "It is appropriate to establish a capital and make a name for the generals to attack in person to defeat his plans."
At that time, Damingfu was just a military town with the tendency of "controlling Heshuo and locking the key to the North Gate". To put it bluntly, it was the North Gate. Renzong simply promoted Damingfu to a companion capital and named it "Beijing" to show his tough attitude.
Seeing that the Song people were actually hardened, the country gave up the idea of invading the south.
That time was 40 years after the Chanyuan Alliance, and another 60 years separated us from now.
Therefore, the two countries of Song and Liao have maintained peace for nearly a hundred years, and it must be said that the existence of Daming Palace is the most important contributor.
But on this day, Lin Yuanjing walked out of his temporary residence and looked at the prosperous scene, but he couldn't help but sigh: "There are thousands of dancing pavilions and singing stages, and tens of thousands of Buddhist temples. Is this still a military powerhouse in the north?"
?”
If we talk about the huge and prosperous cities, no city can compare with Bianjing. However, Bianjing is the capital of a country, and Damingfu is a military fortress facing the threat from the north. How can it be like this?
Just as he was sighing, Xu Ning's tall figure came to the side: "Uncle Lin!"
Lin Yuanjing looked at Xu Ning, and when he saw his brows slightly furrowed, he knew there was no good news, so he whispered: "Go in and talk."
The two came to the mansion and drove away the servants. Lin Yuanjing spoke frankly: "Did you run away again?"
Xu Ning nodded: "The Ming Zunjiao couldn't have remained indifferent when we alerted the enemy last time. The thieves had already evacuated the stronghold they were targeting this time."
Lin Yuanjing said: "It's not surprising. If the thieves were still there, the Wang family would not let us take action. They must have taken the credit away. Now only Xiangzhou is left, and Xiangzhou is the land of the Han family.
Outsiders are not allowed to approach at all..."
Xu Ning frowned: "Uncle Lin, if they are so restrictive, we will get nothing!"
Lin Yuanjing explained: "Erlang said when we came here that the focus this time is not to eliminate how many thieves, but to remove the stronghold they have been operating for many years. When the time comes, the cult's vitality will be severely damaged after this battle, and it will last for a long time.
There won’t be any trouble at all.”
Xu Ning was very unwilling: "But we were able to catch the protector because brothers Wang Jizhong and Wang Jiying deliberately made things difficult. They killed good people and took credit for their crimes, but Uncle Lin stopped them. They actually beat us up and tried to convict us. Fortunately, Magistrate Li
Integrity..."
Lin Yuanjing smiled bitterly, knowing that Xu Ning was still too young. People who speak for you in the officialdom may not necessarily be good to you. Li Qingchen, the current prefect of Daming Prefecture, is the best example.
The magistrate of Daming Prefecture has always been an important member of the court, and there are many famous ministers and ministers serving in his posts, such as Han Qi, Kou Zhun, Ouyang Xiu, Wen Yanbo, Lu Yijian, etc. Compared with these figures, Li Qingchen is naturally unknown.
But this was also a child prodigy. He "knew how to read at the age of seven and recited thousands of words a day." Later, he became famous. After passing the Jinshi examination, Han Qi immediately married his niece to him and was promoted along the way. If it hadn't been for Zeng Bu,
After the fight, he became a prime minister.
The last person to serve as the governor of Daming Palace in Beijing and stay in Beijing was Han Zhongyan. His father Han Qi, because of his high prestige during the Shenzong Dynasty, also left Beijing to know Daming Palace in order to avoid suspicion.
Generally speaking, those who are directly related are Han Qi, Han Qi's nephew-in-law, and Han Qi's eldest son Zhi Daming Mansion. To the west is Han Qi's hometown of Xiangzhou. It is self-evident who the civil servants entrenched here listen to.
Therefore, Lin Yuanjing only proposed in private that he could not kill good people to take credit, but it quickly spread everywhere, and then he was deliberately targeted by the Wang brothers. He soon understood that he was set up by Li Qingchen and put in front of others.
Roasted on the fire.
"I really don't want to participate in this kind of local civil and military struggle. I just came to destroy the cult stronghold. I was even willing to share the credit and let all parties have an explanation. As a result, they fought fiercely and the cult thieves took the opportunity to escape.
Clean and tidy..."
Lin Yuanjing sighed again. This was obviously a very frustrating thing, but what could he do? How dare he, an outsider, fight with two local snakes?
Even because Xu Ning is young and energetic, he is not ready to tell the truth. The conflict with the Wang brothers is inevitable. There is really no need to quarrel with the prefect Li. In a few days, some bandits will be more or less wiped out and they will return.
That's what happened when Jing returned to his hometown.
Although Xu Ning had little experience in officialdom, he could see this man's depression and didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only remain silent.
Fortunately, this oppressive silence did not last long. As rapid footsteps came, the guards came from outside and shouted: "Coach! Coach!"
Those with this title are all close friends, and most of them once followed Lin Yuanjing to wipe out the Wuyou Cave.
Lin Yuanjing stood up immediately, thinking that he had found a new thief's stronghold, when he heard the guard say: "Madam and Erlang have entered Daming Mansion, with a long motorcade, Erlang riding a BMW, attracting people to watch all the way.
!”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lin Yuanjing was stunned: "Why are they here? Yes, Erlang did say that he would come after the new year. I didn't expect it to be so fast. I originally
I am also planning to write a letter home so that they don’t have to come over..."
Xu Ning was very surprised when he heard this, and immediately said: "As soon as brother arrives, those thieves will probably have trouble sleeping and eating!"
Lin Yuanjing heard that the thieves mentioned by Xu Ning were not limited to cultists. He would have been worried before, but now he nodded subconsciously: "When Erlang is here, Daming Mansion will be at peace!"
Xu Ning secretly laughed. This person who was depressed just now suddenly became more energetic.
But think about yourself, didn't you feel excited when you heard the arrival of that person, and saw the dawn of counterattack?
"Let's go! Let's go meet him!"
The two of them left the mansion with their guards and headed towards the main street.
Then they discovered that the so-called onlooker just now was not only not exaggerated, but actually a bit understated.
This was more than a mere onlooker, it completely caused a sensation.
Arriving at the street, Xu Ning stood on tiptoe and saw his majestic brother sitting on the back of a magnificent horse at the other end of the street, which was extremely eye-catching.
It was precisely because of his outstanding appearance that the people surrounded him until it was so swamped that it was almost impossible to move.
"This thousand-mile horse is really a splendid horse!"
"This is not an ordinary thousand-mile horse. I have also seen famous horses from the Northern Dynasties and Western Thieves, but none of them are like this. It must be a dragon colt!"
"One foot long, eight feet high, and with a roar like a tiger, it is called a dragon colt. This horse is still a bit short, what a pity..."
"The gentleman on the horse is not Erlang Bianjing Lin? Yes, he is the one who killed the eunuchs and destroyed the evil cult!"
…
Compared to running around in the countryside, when he came to such a prosperous capital, Shishi Cong immediately caused a sensation.
Li Yan had already anticipated the crowding, so he split the convoy into two.
He himself brought his mother Li and Li Gefei's female relatives to the mansion where Lin Yuanjing lived, while Lu Junyi took Fan Lou and the team from the Chamber of Commerce to live in the Lu Mansion first.
He found it difficult to move for a while, so he was not in a hurry. He sat upright on the horse and listened silently.
Naturally, many people's attention extended from the mount to his master, and they started talking about it.
Li Yan soon discovered that among his deeds, the eradication of Wuyou Cave was mentioned by the fewest people in Daming Mansion. He only heard a few people mention it, and they should have been to Bianjing and had gone deep into it.
I was disturbed by Wuyou Cave, so I was deeply impressed.
There is not much discussion about Sui'an Academy, but once someone mentions the entrance to Taixue Preliminary Examination, people nearby will immediately ask questions. It is obviously not that they are not interested, but that the news circulates slowly and has not been transmitted yet.
Executing eunuchs and eradicating evil cults ranked first and second respectively.
If we say that the eunuchs were punished, it was because Shilin deliberately elevated Gao Qiu's prestige in order to suppress his achievements. The extermination of evil cults came second. It is most likely because during this period, Daming Mansion also launched a vigorous campaign to eliminate Mingzun.
Teaching base is a hot topic.
In any case, his fame naturally spread with the help of this appearance.

Li Yan smiled and touched Shishi Cong's neck: "It's all thanks to your beauty!"
The lion cock raised his head proudly, looking more and more majestic. He looked forward to showing off his power. He was a little impatient at first, but now he lost his urgency and began to show off his beauty.
However, the overcrowded streets blocked another group of people who were strutting through the market not far away. They immediately shouted loudly and soon the yamen sent out officers to start driving away the people.
Li Yan looked at it, said nothing, and rode forward, finally meeting up with Lin Yuanjing and Xu Ning.
He got off his horse and was about to step forward to salute. Lin Yuanjing had already held his shoulders and shook him heavily: "Erlang, you're here!"
Li Yan knew at a glance that Xianyu's father was being bullied, and said sternly: "Father, I'm here!"
Don't be wronged, don't be wronged, I will make the decision for you!
