Extra story: Zhang Rong is doing justice for heaven
Zhang Rong, the former Liangshan hero and now the king of Lu, applied for retirement from the Zhao Song official family in the 28th year of Jianyan's reign. He was almost sixty years old at the time, and his son had just married the daughter of the handsome minister Li Shifu and was waiting to go home to have his grandson.
And more importantly, as Zhao Guan's family continued to improve its ships and sailboats, he also felt that he was lagging behind the times and was no longer suitable to lead the navy.
The Zhao Guan family came thousands of years later. Apart from Yue Fei, the one they liked the most was Zhang Rong, a simple ruralist with a little bit of nationalism. Although he was reluctant to part with it, he still approved it, and after Zhang Rong left Yan
When he came to Beijing, he retained the title of King of Lu and the political treatment of Jiedushi, and personally went out of the city thirty miles to see him off.
What I never expected was that less than six months after Zhang Rong returned to his hometown in Jeju for fishing, he went to prison again after thirty years. But fortunately, this time he did not have to summon his old friends to rob the prison. Mrs. Lu was crying
He sent a message to his three sons-in-law, Yu Yunwen, deputy minister of the Privy Council, Fan Chengda, the prefect of Changchun, and Zhao Dan, the king of Huai, asking them to come to rescue his father-in-law.
Even You Xuexue, the river admiral of Zhang Rong's old department, wrote to ask Shi Hao, the magistrate of Jeju, and his subordinate magistrates, what kind of royal law did King Lu commit to deserve to be imprisoned?
To put it bluntly, even if you have violated the king's law, it seems that you do not have the right to arrest, only the right to participate in the performance. You need to be verified by the censor and reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment! You are joking when you call the Thirty-Six Meritorious Officers of Jianyan!
God knows that Shi Hao is about to cry. Who would have known that such a black-faced old man in rough clothes and short fighting skills would be one of the most meritorious ministers in the world? No wonder he is so good at fighting. He injured three policemen when he resisted arrest. Of course, Shi Hao would never do it at this time.
I dare to care about King Lu's resistance to arrest. He cleans the cell three times a day and has food and wine. I hope you will be merciful and go out. Otherwise, who can I resist your three sons-in-law?
But why did King Lu go to Liangshan? It wasn’t because he couldn’t bear to see the government transporting stones to oppress the people, so he sat on the kang and drank wine, humming: “Then Zhizhou must tell me that the rule of the state is that old people over sixty years of age should receive half a tax for fishing and farming.
People over 65 years old are exempt from tax. Why is your place so special? The fishermen finally caught a big carp with four nostrils and were waiting to buy it at a good price to support their families. What happened to you all? I can’t bear to ask.
One sentence, you actually said that I was caught making trouble. The last time I was imprisoned, it was Shi Wenbin who was the traitor and surrendered to the enemy. If you can't explain clearly, I have to wait for the officials to educate me!"
Poor Shi Hao, the imperial master who taught Song Xiaozong how to survive Qin Hui in his previous life, now faced with an old man from a fisherman's background, was about to cry without tears, so he quickly explained: "Your Majesty, you didn't bring a guard of honor when you went out.
, they are blind, they just bumped into you, why don't I give them a good beating to vent your anger?"
Zhang Rong proudly said, "Humph, if I hadn't been afraid of showing off my waist as I got older, how could your group of little soldiers and generals have done anything to defeat me? Back then, Xiaoyue was only a little bit better than me." Xiaoyue is the King of Wei, Yue Peng.
Lift.
Shi Hao, a former civil servant and a younger generation, naturally didn't know how big his boast was. Facing the most successful recruiter in the dynasty, he just admitted his mistake. However, Zhang Rong was a fisherman who got into possession of a big banner.
, How can someone with a dark face and bright heart be fooled easily? He put down the wine glass and said: "Reply me, or you really want me to ask Xiao Yu?"
Shi Hao had no choice but to answer: "King Hui Lu, you have only been back to your hometown for a short time. Maybe you don't know that we had a trouble with Japanese slaves some time ago. Although it was not too big, it caused chaos in several counties, and Surabaya was directly destroyed.
The county government office was burned down. Of course, this is a state matter, and officials will naturally negotiate with Honglu Temple and Japan. If you don’t believe it, you can ask King Huai. Let’s just talk about our Jeju area. Because of this chaos, many old people were killed or could not help but riot.
Tengdu died, but many county officials also died for their country in order to defend their villages. This also led to the lack of household registration in many places. Some people who looked older said that they were in their 70s and 80s, and tax reductions were still a trivial matter. What if they received rice?
The grain account is another mess. It has only been four months since the official took office and the investigation has not been completed. We can only suspend these rules of respecting the elderly and wait until the investigation is completed before making compensation. This is definitely not the selfish pursuit of power by Jeju officials like us to benefit the common people.
, but it is a last resort." I said that I arrested you by mistake, because I thought you were an old man pretending to be old and wanted to reduce taxes.
Zhang Rong was stunned. He really didn't expect this to be the reason. However, he knew that the Japanese country had been particularly violent some time ago. People from Dengzhou and Runzhou were killed and many villages were even massacred. Even his son-in-law, who had always been pampered and pampered, was killed.
Zhao Dan, the king of Huai, also angrily cursed in his letter that these things were not human beings. The officials were furious and threatened the Emperor of Japan and General Zhengyi to launch a naval battle if they could not arrest all the Japanese pirates' families. After the destruction of the country by Jiaozhi, there was no more
No one dares to underestimate the capabilities of the Song Dynasty Navy.
No matter how low his education level is, Zhang Rong still knows that this is related to the fact that Li Bao passed away last year, he retired this year, and the new commanders of the Imperial Navy and the Navy lacked prestige. This incident once made him want to shout out the slogan "Grandpa was born" again.
I want to kill people, kill all the short-legged and bald people." He gave up after his wife revealed that he had rheumatism and could not row the boat for a long time. However, in a depressed mood, he thought that the time would be peaceful and prosperous and he could return to his old business. Unexpectedly, he met him again.
To such a thing?
However, "Humph, if you drag your feet here, if someone is dragged to death while waiting for rice to be eaten, that is because you are derelict in your duties. You think that you are a good official if you are not corrupt." But after all, you are a person who has experienced troubled times and knows how to deal with chaos.
After that, many things were difficult to complete. After Shi Hao repeatedly promised to verify it as soon as possible and reissue it in accordance with the policy, he became a little calmer.
But Zhang Rong is Zhang Rong after all. A man who has fought for wealth and fame in troubled times, how can he be so easy to fool? As soon as he lifted his buttocks, he sat down again. Still feeling uncomfortable, he carried one of his legs and said: "Okay.
Well, I'll ask you about this later. You know Xiao En who was transferred to the household department? That's my old subordinate. You can fool me, but I can't fool him. But there is one more thing. What do you say about the big carp with four nostrils?
?”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It turns out that this carp, with four nostrils, a red tail and a golden body, was produced only in Jeju during the Song Dynasty. It was originally from Weishan Lake in the southwest. Later, a local official
I tried releasing a few fish in Jishui, but the ecology was not damaged and passed down. Therefore, every year during the fishing season, fishermen have to fish hard. Not only the surrounding restaurants buy them at high prices, but also some wealthy families try their luck.
It is truly priceless.
Speaking of this, Shi Hao was a little speechless, but Wu Fu, the promotion officer on the side, said: "Jeju has no specialties. This year it happened to be the time when the local officials came to Beijing to report on their work. I heard that Hu Hong and Hu Tianguan are the best fish eaters in Fujian, but they also
He didn't like people giving heavy gifts, so Zhizhou thought of pickling the fish and giving it to him as a bonus. It's not like he didn't give money to the fishermen, so it couldn't be considered a plunder."
What he said was extremely correct, but Shi Hao knew that this bastard was trying to harm him. How could such unspoken rules of officialdom be told to someone like Zhang Rong, who had been forced to rebel? As expected, Zhang Rong was furious when he heard this, and turned into a fan.
With the palm of his hand, he swept all the wine and meat on the table to the ground, pointed at Shi Hao's nose and cursed: "You bastards, you don't want to manage the place well, you just want to curry favor with the officials. Bah, only Emperor Huangling of Song Dynasty did this
The custom is that even if you pay money, a fish can be sold for twenty coins. If you give twenty coins, you are not bullying good people. Fortunately, I met an official. Otherwise, if I met an official like you and presided over the village, I would still be
It’s going to be the other way around.”
Listen, listen, what are you talking about? You still want to rebel in the peaceful and prosperous times. The character of a scholar-bureaucrat in Shi Hao's heart made him very uncomfortable. "King Lu, lower officials have their own rights and wrongs, but this kind of thing has happened since ancient times..."
....”
Zhang Rong sneered and borrowed an official saying, "It has been around since ancient times, so it must be right?"
Shi Hao and all the officials and the officers were stunned for a moment. They almost didn't realize whether he was an old, rough commander or a philosopher. They saw Zhang Rong striding out and calling the boy sent by his wife, "Get Zhang Qi."
Call me, after so many years of studying, I will write a memorial to him, I want to impeach him."
Zhang Qi, his son who had a son at an old age, had beaten away four gentlemen in three years, and he didn’t know what he could write.
Of course, this article was completed by the county school teaching edict funded by King Lu, and was sent to Yanjing overnight. Yu Yunwen and Fan Chengda, who came to report on the work, helped the father-in-law modify the wording, and sent it to Zhao Guan's family through the censorship route.
After Zhao Guan's family read it, he informed the officials and said: "In the eyes of all the ministers, it may not be a big deal. But Zhang Rong knows that it is not easy for ordinary people, so he should do the right thing for heaven."
So, Shi Hao packed up and went back to his hometown to work as an editor for the Phoenix Weekend Magazine. His still young son Shi Miyuan still didn't know what happened?
