Chapter Twenty-Five: Monarch and Minister, Father and Son
In fact, the Zhao Guan family may not even realize that Lu Haowen is very special to him. For Lu Haowen, the Zhao Guan family allowed him to become a highly respected minister and become a saint in his early years. During his tenure, he completed the country's rejuvenation, and he sometimes
It is inevitable that literati will have a seizure and estimate that in the future when compiling history, he will not only be able to write a separate biography, but he will probably only be ranked behind Li Gang Zongze, and his reputation will definitely far exceed that of his ancestors.
As for Zhao Guan's family, when he climbed up from the well, he was only 21 years old, and there were only a few people he could trust around him. Lu Haowen appeared in front of him with a very beautiful moral article, which became his balance
The tool of the court. Then it was fate. Who would have thought that after 11 years of Jianyan's reign, Lu Haowen, who was devoted to Taoism and advocated moving the capital to Yangzhou, would be by his side all the time? Putting aside the problem and looking at the essence, it's just that
This shows that Lu Haowen is truly virtuous and willing to work hard for national change in this country. He also does not agree with "ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats instead of the common people."
This made him from a "three-in-law" to a figure that cannot be ignored in the history of Shao Song Dynasty, and also became a half minister and half elder of the Zhao Guan family. Otherwise, he would not be willful and run to other people's homes without any trouble, as if
This is the liberation of the soul. Although Lu Haowen is very helpless, you can ask all over Tokyo how many people are willing to open their doors to welcome you. You, Mr. Lu, don't know what is good or bad.
Here the monarch and his ministers were having fun together, but over there the father and son were speechless. At the same time, between the Genyue ruins and the Yanfu Palace, there was a particularly simple villa in the Jingyuan that the Zhao Guan family had given to important ministers.
The land is large, but it doesn't look heroic at first glance. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, it has a lonely and cold moonlight feel, which is particularly strange.
But if you see the words "Edict to build Zheng Guogong Zhao's Mansion" on the gate tower, it is not surprising that the people of Tokyo are burning with the spirit of gossip.
This was the house of the then Prime Minister Zhao Ding. It was built when he was named Duke of Zheng. Later, he was named King Zheng based on merit. He felt that as Prime Minister, he still had to avoid suspicion, so he did not let anyone change the plaque. Coincidentally, the former Shu Kingdom
Gong Xin discovered that the King of Shu also did the same thing. His name was Zhang Jun.
"Cough cough" In the study, Zhao Ding was lying on the rocking chair, listening to his son reading the new issue of the Di newspaper to him, but he didn't know if it was the autumn chill outside that made him cough twice.
Zhao Fen quickly put down his newspaper and served his father to drink ginger tea. Yes, it is the nature of father and son. Ever since his father went home and thought about his past, he came back. Seeing the white hair on his temples, he felt sad and regretful, but he did not dare to let him
The old man saw this and had no choice but to smile and say: "Father, it's getting late, why don't you eat some mooncakes and rest early."
Zhao Ding shook his head and said: "No, Chen Gongfu sent me a message. The errands of this group of Jinshi have been decided. You will serve as the county magistrate of Jing'an County in Shenzhou. You have been by my side for many years, and I have some experience in writing. Don't think about it.
I'm not worried. But you still have to remember to make decisions for the people. Since you are called "parent" by the people, you must shoulder responsibilities. Li Xiuzhi has made up for the living room, so don't break up your friendship with him. That's all, I am really
I'm getting more and more nagging. While you're at home, read the newspaper for me for a few days."
Zhao Fen felt more and more uncomfortable, but he heard Zhao Ding say: "But you have to prepare yourself. You and your wife are newly married, so you can go and clean yourself up. Your grandson is still young, and your mother is not willing to let him go, so she stayed in Tokyo. I heard that he was killed yesterday
Liang Su came to pay his respects and wants to go to the post with you."
"Yes." Zhao Fen gritted his teeth, knowing that he couldn't hide it from his father, and said, "But I declined."
"Why?" Zhao Ding straightened up slightly, as if he was still the prime minister who dealt with countless military and national affairs.
"Liang Su, Liang Su's first teacher was Shi Gao, a traitor of Song Dynasty who was stubbornly resisting. Everyone in the same year knew that he came to take the exam because after he and his junior brother returned to Dingzhou, General Wang Sheng didn't like him, so he didn't like him.
You are just trying to make things difficult for them. I am ashamed to be associated with such people."
I thought Zhao Ding would criticize him, but he then asked, "Well, Fan Cheng's family and your wife's family are family friends, and he is only fourteen years old. Since we want to cross the Yellow River together, why don't you take him with you?"
?”
Zhao Fen answered bravely: "Brother Fan Xian was arranged to report to the Imperial Navy Navy's residence. The officials have sent Li Xianggong (Li Guang) to propose marriage to King Zhang Lu's daughter. I'll go
Wouldn't it be a hindrance? Besides, my son is already thirty, so there is nothing to say when we are together with them."
Zhao Ding raised his eyebrows, boy, he is good at psychological quality, so he asked the last question, "Well, I was in the province a few days ago, and Du Yan, the general magistrate of Chengdu, was promoted to the magistrate of Shenzhou. It is your immediate boss. I heard
He said he also invited you to the banquet, but why didn't you go?"
"Because I am not angry with him." Zhao Fen suddenly straightened his neck, looked directly at his father, and said, "I know that Du Chong almost ruined the overall situation and it was tantamount to treason. As a Song Dynasty man, Du Yan killed his relatives in a righteous way, and I admire him. But as a human being
The son reported on his father, even if he didn't commit suicide afterwards and apologized, he should have spent his life in the countryside, how could he still be okay..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Ding, who was full of fatigue, suddenly straightened up and slapped him hard and fast. Zhao Fen didn't react in time and received the slap firmly.
The tea bowls that were put down in time were smashed, making a crisp sound.
Mrs. Zhao in the next room heard something bad and hurriedly knocked on the door and said, "Sir, what's the matter? But Fen'er made you angry again."
Zhao Ding flexed his muscles and said calmly: "It's okay, madam. Fen'er is about to take up a new post. I'll teach him the principles of being an official."
When he heard his wife walking away, he immediately said to his son in a cold voice: "Kneel down."
Zhao Fen really lost his temper this time. Although he knelt down well, his face was full of dissatisfaction.
"Let me ask you, back then, Du Yan colluded with the enemy and almost caused the land of Henan and the official family to be destroyed. Do you think it was right for Du Yan to extinguish his relatives."
Zhao Fen was startled and immediately said: "Of course it is right. Not to mention the master of heaven and earth, Du Yan should have been loyal to the official family first. I also heard that Du Chong was so crazy that he wanted to dig up the Yellow River. That was tens of millions of Song people.
How can one be foolish and filial in one's life? It's just..."
"Then don't think about it. If Du Yan committed suicide, it would be a legend in history. But what will happen to his mother, brothers and sisters?"
Zhao Fen was stunned!
As a left-behind minister who commits treason, the lightest punishment is for his wife and daughter to be sent to the Jiaofangsi and his son to be sent to Salman Island!
I saw Zhao Ding leisurely find the reading glasses given by Zhao Guan's family, put them on and read the newspaper in his hometown, and said calmly: "But as far as my father knows, because of Du Yan's meritorious service, except for Du Chong's wife, she has to do hard labor. The rest is irrelevant.
, this woman was later redeemed by Du Yan's intercession. If you think about Shi Gao's fate again, you are sure that Du Yan did something wrong. Son, I know what loyalty and filial piety are, I know much better than you."
"As a father, you have been successful in your career for more than ten years, but others have praised you. Forget about the hardships of your childhood, go out and gain experience earlier."
