Extra story about the farewell of the king and his ministers
In the late spring of the forty-third year of Jianyan, although Yanjing had been planting trees in Zhaojiu for many years, the manpower was sometimes exhausted. It was still very windy and sandy at this time. No matter you were a dignitary or a commoner, you had better not talk if you went out, otherwise you would inevitably
Take a mouthful of sand.
Of course, for some elderly people and women, they can choose to travel by car, and the situation will be much better. For example, Zhao Jiu, the supreme leader of the Zhao and Song Dynasties who was over 60 years old, traveled. Although he wanted to ride a horse, he was persuaded by Liu Yan, the king of Liaoyang County, and his close minister Yue Lin.
, had no choice but to ride an ox cart to the Jingsai County Prince’s Mansion.
Of course, the Song Dynasty is no longer short of horses - otherwise, what would it have done in the past forty years? But Zhao Jiu knew that the enjoyment of the previous one hundred years was engraved in the genes of these dignitaries, and once the situation was better, they would like to be dignified.
Therefore, as long as he is an official and does not go out for important events, he will make bullock carts. You can't say that no one dares to make mistakes. This is for sure - the master of ZTE who has rebuilt the country. He has been in power for forty years and is truly the master of heaven.
Xian, when he said something was not allowed, few people had the courage to disobey him, even the appointed heir, King Yan.
In fact, King Zhao Xu of Yan had quite a problem with Yang Yizhong - he could speak to his father better than he could, which made people very unhappy. Of course, no prince would have a good impression of his father's absolute personal spy leader.
Even though he didn't do anything, he always felt like a ray of light on his back when he saw Prince Yang standing with a sword and never being rude.
Of course, this is normal. The emperor is destined not to get too close to the prince. However, King Yan is not a too mean person. At least seeing Yang Yizhong's decline, he did not add insult to injury or buy a ghost statue to make him hurry up.
Go underground to explore the way for your father.
But to be honest, as Yang Yizhong's illness became more and more serious, and seeing a bad trend, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew too much, which made people feel uneasy.
But this definitely does not include Zhao Jiu himself.
Ever since Yang Tongzhi fell ill due to overwork last year, and his illness gradually worsened, his temper has become particularly irritable. Sometimes he would suddenly call out "Zhengfu" for a long time, but no one would respond, and he would childishly throw the ancient books and pen holder on the desk on the floor.
When the anger subsided, he asked the chamberlain to deal with it. The provincial and Privy Council officials were even more unlucky. Whenever the Supreme Emperor asked about unclear matters, they would be reprimanded - unless you were Prime Minister Hu Yin, anyway, even the Minister of Household Affairs, Shumei, who always had a reputation for shame.
Even Shuo is not immune, but fortunately he can still reflect on himself and know how to admit his mistakes to others - of course he will do it again next time.
As for the Imperial City Division headed by Zhai Biao and Zhang Xiaoxiang, how can it be called "miserable"?
Zhao Yang, the king of Mu who was far away in Yunnan, was not immune - he was exposed to have taken in Dali's Gao family and Yang family's several beautiful concubines. He was scolded by the Zhao family for being unfilial and had his property cut off and his salary stopped. He didn't care that Pan's Xianfei was about to leave.
The fact that he took the matter on the third anniversary as a brushstroke at best.
The harem was so frightened that Lady Xie claimed that she had headaches, feet, heart, and mouth pain, and she did not dare to go to Yanjing's Qing Palace - wasn't that looking for scolding?
At this time, no one in the civil or military circles inside and outside the court would say "please kill Yang Yizhong" again, because with the attitude of Zhao Guan's family, if you provoke him again, it is unlikely that he will behead you directly and send you to Yinshan Mountain to eat sand.
Guarding the border is still very possible.
But every time Zhao Guan's family went to "Edict to build Jingsai County Prince Yang's Mansion", he would be able to adjust his mood, and maybe he was unwilling to do it deliberately. He didn't want to face Yang Yizhong with a violent and ugly face, which had burdened him for his whole life.
Dark man.
In the late spring of the forty-third year of Jianyan's reign, the peonies were blooming in brilliant colors, but Yang Yizhong was so skinny that he was covered with bones. Zhao Guan's family felt uncomfortable looking at it, but they had to hold back their sadness and said: "Zhengfu, you
It’s really reduced. When the Huai River was in crisis, I had no one to help me. You stayed up all night, but it was nothing like this.”
Yang Yizhong has been a man of many talents all his life, but now, he can't say anything surprising and says directly: "Guan family, I was still young at that time, and so was Your Majesty. But now I have to take the first step, I feel sorry for Your Majesty.
"
Zhao Guan's family was shocked at first and then pretended to be angry, saying: "What are you talking nonsense about? Isn't it just a disease? How can a person not get sick after eating whole grains? How can you say such depressing words? If these imperial doctors are not good, I will
The people will give you another sign, just the Xinglin master."
Yang Yizhong smiled very relaxedly. Maybe he had been very tired over the years. He coughed a few times, but the emperor of the Song Dynasty actually poured him tea and drank it. Then he said: "Life is fixed, but not everyone can
He is the King of Qin. He has spent half his life in the army and still lives over eighty years old to go out and climb mountains. I am a very unlucky person."
"Nonsense." Zhao Guanjia suddenly became furious and stood up like an angry child. Finally, he sat down slumped and said, "Zhengfu, you can't leave. If you leave, I will have no one to talk to anymore."
Yang Yizhong finally couldn't bear it anymore. Perhaps his self-control has declined due to his long-term illness. He finally cried: "Guan family, I can't bear to leave Guan family. If I leave, Guan family, what will you do? Official
I’m not worried either.”
Zhao Guanjia couldn't help but shed tears and said, "Then don't leave." Even though the emperor in the world has made great achievements, he is still so helpless in the face of life and death.
For a moment, there was a thick atmosphere of sadness between the monarch and his ministers. The descendants of the Yang family and the internal servants who were waiting outside were too bold to say anything. But Yang Yizhong, who had been cautious all his life, how could he forget the taboo, "I still have something to say,
You cannot let others hear it. Your Majesty, please step aside."
This was indeed the right thing to do. Zhao Guanjia waved his hands and everyone left. Only Zhai Biao and a few people were guarding the outside. Yang Yizhong said: "Your Majesty, I will not give up. He has been in charge of the Imperial Banzhi for more than 40 years."
, is like a palace commander, and he knows the importance of this responsibility. Although Zhai Biao is loyal, he is a little careless. After the minister leaves, Liu Yan, the king of Liaoyang County, can take over. Of course, he is one year older than the minister, so some errands should be relieved.
Come down and let Your Majesty make the decision on this matter."
"Okay, I listen to you. From now on, the power of transferring the secret letters of the commander-in-chief... will be given to Xin Wenyu, and I will transfer him back."
Yang Yizhong struggled on the bed and made a half salute, but Zhao Guanjia stopped him and said, "I'm going to be really angry if you continue to do this falsely."
"Yes, there is one more thing. The duties of the Imperial City Secretary are equally important. I know that the officials do not want the servants to get involved, but when I am about to die, I have to say something from my heart. It is difficult to find a lonely minister. If there is a loyal person in the servants, if there is a loyal one at the beginning of this dynasty,
The young Qin Han can also be entrusted with important things. At least the civil and military ministers of the court have thought about it carefully. Those who are capable are not willing to get involved in such dirty water, and those who are incompetent or greedy for money must not use it. Please give it another thought, Your Majesty."
Zhao Guanjia felt increasingly powerless and nodded: "Okay, but I can't answer it right now. Let me go back and think about it carefully." He didn't even bother me.
Yang Yizhong just nodded this time and spoke a little weakly, saying: "I have hidden too many secrets in my life. The official family still...don't know about it. I'm leaving."
I took it away as soon as I got it, it was my last selfish intention."
Zhao Guan's family was startled, perhaps because they were too sad, and did not react. They heard Yang Yizhong say: "I would like to be cremated, and all the secrets of my notes should be cremated. This way, my children and grandchildren can have a good outcome." It seemed as if he said this.
He regained some strength and said: "Guan Jia, I have never forgotten the four words 'hatred of country and family' in my life. I have followed Guan Jia and watched the Song Dynasty with my own eyes until now. I have never regretted it. It's just that I am getting old and want to give something to my family."
Leave a way for the child, official, please transfer my descendants to Guanxi after I leave, and return to the Western Army. The Golden Sword Yang family, I am just a sycophant, it is enough..."
When Zhao Guanjia heard this, he finally couldn't help but burst into tears and choked with sobs: "Zhengfu, it was me who wronged you, it was I who wronged you..."
Yang Yizhong smiled, extremely satisfied, and said: "This whole life, your Majesty has been giving orders to his ministers, and he even said that he would settle the matter for you. Now, I am finally entrusted with the matters behind my death... This feeling is really
Okay..." Before he finished speaking, he actually wore a smile and merged with the heaven and earth. His body gradually stiffened and he died in front of the king to whom he had given allegiance.
Zhao Jiu cried loudly, as if something had drifted away forever in her heart.
