Five days later, Di Qing, the deputy envoy to the Privy Council who attracted worldwide attention, and the military governor of Changhua, returned from Yanzhou.
After arriving in Bianjing, he was appointed as the envoy of the South Academy of Xuanhui and the envoy of Xuanfu on the North and South Roads of Jinghu, and promoted the case of thieves on the East and West Roads of Guangnan... With so many official positions added together, he was a 'full authority', Di Qing
It has the right to independently make decisions on all major military and political affairs in the South.
This series of decisions made by the officials shocked the officialdom of the capital. This was the first time since Taizong ascended the throne that military generals were sent to lead an expedition without civilian officials accompanying them as supervisors. This naturally caused great uneasiness among the civilian officials, but the current situation in Lingnan,
There is no room for any mistakes, so Di Qing can only be used, and power must be delegated to him. Therefore, all the opponents are silent, and only the cheers of the supporters are left - at this moment, Di Qing has returned.
In the Chui Gong Hall, the officials held a banquet to see off Marshal Di, who was about to go on an expedition.
Looking at this masculine man who was the most beautiful man in the Song Dynasty in the past, the only flaw on his face was the golden seal indicating his origin. The official always felt a little regretful. He sighed softly and said: "I have seen so many things over the years."
, the most correct thing he did was to promote Han Chen."
Di Qing, nicknamed Hanchen, was seven feet long, with a majestic posture and a face like a crown of jade. When he was sixteen years old, his brother had a fight with the villagers and he suffered the consequences on his behalf. He was assassinated and served as a guard, so he had a gold seal on his face.
He charged into battle during the Song-Xia war, made numerous military exploits, and became a famous general in the world.
After the peace talks between Song Dynasty and Western Xia Dynasty, he returned to the capital. Because of his great reputation, he was summoned by the emperor. From then on, he became Zhao Zhen's first favorite general... He started as a guard and infantry guard in front of the palace, and quickly rose to the rank of Bu Yuhou.
The deputy commander of the army and the commander of the horse army became the leader of the Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty. He was also promoted to the military commander of Changhua Army. Three months ago, he was promoted to deputy privy envoy, reaching the pinnacle of the military of the Song Dynasty.
.
"The official's reward and promotion," Di Qing stood up gratefully and said, "Di Qing is very grateful, but he can only be broken into pieces, and his liver and brain will repay him!"
"Sit down, sit down." Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "You are an important weapon of the country. Even if you are missing a corner or cracked, I will be heartbroken."
"Di Qing is a soldier, how dare you spare your life?" Di Qing said seriously.
"Okay, okay!" Maybe it was because of his own lack of it. Zhao Zhen admired this masculinity very much and said "ok" three times in a row before continuing: "Ai Qing is going to the south. Just fight to your heart's content. The rest will not matter.
I’ve taken care of it, and I’ll teach you that you won’t have any worries!”
"Thank you, officials." Di Qing said solemnly.
"This battle must not only be won, but also won thoroughly and beautifully!" Zhao Zhen said slightly excitedly: "Let's use my reputation as the Great Song Dynasty! Let those careerists stop thinking about it!"
"The general will obey the order!"
"Come here, let me propose a toast to you."
"The general will not dare..."
At the end of the banquet, Zhao Zhen took out a sealed letter from his sleeve, handed it to Di Qing himself and said: "Open it after you leave the capital and burn it after reading it."
"Here." Di Qing took it respectfully, put it in his arms, and kept it close to his body.
The official also gave him a brocade robe and golden armor, and personally awarded him the Emperor's Sword. He was full of expectations and said: "On the day of the victory of the three armies, I will personally receive the victory for you!"
"Your Majesty..." Di Qing bowed deeply.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Naturally, it takes time to prepare for a large army to go on an expedition. Therefore, before Di Qing left the capital, Ouyang Xiu, who was far away in Luling, Jiangxi Province, received the latest news from Di Qing.
In the past half month, Chen Ke and the others have become familiar with old Ouyang. Ouyang Xiu is a very noble person, and Chen Ke and the others are right up his alley. In particular, they never regard him as a leader in the literary world, not at all.
He actually appreciated the flattery and flattery. As time went by, these people became friends all year round, and they began to talk in a casual manner.
Ouyang Xiu showed them the newspaper he had just received, and said proudly: "How about it, the veteran will take action, one can match the two?"
"Di Qing and Dilan don't care about our affairs." Chen Ke and others read the newspaper over and over again. After reading it, instead of flattering him, they asked, "Why is there no news about Uncle Chen?"
"Hey, you unpatriotic brat." Ouyang Xiu scolded with a smile, and said seriously: "If this has the name of County Magistrate Chen on it, you should cry."
"..." Chen Ke looked at him in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"This case has offended too many people. If your father becomes famous because of this, it will be difficult in the future..." Ouyang Xiu said lightly: "This is the official family protecting him." He couldn't help but sigh: "Three generations
Since then, I can't find another king who cares about his subjects like this."
"I only care about when my father will be released from prison!" The waiting time was too long, and it was difficult for Chen Ke to maintain a peaceful mind.
"Impatient boy, you must respect your elders." Ouyang Xiu glared at him, twirling his beard and said: "Bianliang City will not have special instructions."
"how do you know?"
"Read the newspaper carefully," Ouyang Xiu said, patting him on the head with a cattail leaf fan: "It is clearly stated above that all major military and political affairs in Hunan and Guangxi are now controlled by Di Hanchen, including your father's case!
"
"Then what should we do?" Chen Ke and the others asked anxiously. They thought to themselves, is it possible that we will have to play Di Qing again?
"Yeah, what should I do?" Ouyang Xiu said with a narrow smile. He hated Chen Ke and the others and really wanted to knock the old man down and beat him up.
Seeing the anger of several little guys rising, he shook his cattail leaf fan and said leisurely: "There is no need to do anything. The official is a sentimental person. Like Chen Gongbi, who is not afraid of hardships and dangers and is a loyal and pure minister of the country. Official
The family must have made proper arrangements to prevent him from making any mistakes..." After a pause, he said with deep feeling: "When it comes to meticulousness, no one in the Song Dynasty can match the official family."
For the same Di newspaper, Chen Ke and the others could only understand the surface, but Ouyang Xiu could see so many details. This was the gap.
Seeing that several people were hesitant, Ouyang Xiu said loudly: "Put your heart in your belly. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. If anything happens to Magistrate Chen, I will give you my life!"
Hearing what he said, Chen Ke and others felt much relieved and said with a smile: "We are still young, so it is not cost-effective."
"I don't want your lives either." Ouyang Xiu said with a smile: "I have to stay here for another year. It's very inconvenient in a remote and remote area. How about you being my servant for a year?" After that, they were divided.
The task came: "I've thought about it carefully. Brother Monkey will run errands, the big black guy will look after the door, and the little monk will sweep the floor. Sanlang, how about you be my book boy?"
"..." Everyone was sweating, but they were a little moved. They knew that this was Old Ouyang who was guiding them... If they stayed with him for a year, as long as they studied hard, they would make a qualitative leap in both knowledge and knowledge.
To put it bluntly, just relying on the golden name of "Ouyang Xiumen" is enough to join the scholarly ranks, and he will be treated as a distinguished guest wherever he goes.
Such a generous gift came from Old Ouyang's mouth, but it seemed as if he had taken advantage of it. It did not embarrass them at all. After making eye contact with Song Duanping, Chen Ke nodded and said: "It's a bet!"
"Where is the young monk?" Ouyang Xiu asked.
"Amitabha, this young monk is very good at sweeping the floor." Xuanyu clasped his hands together and said.
"..." Seeing that they had become a family, the young prince Zhao Zongji was extremely envious. He scratched his head and scratched his head, but found it difficult to speak. He was not worried about his clan identity, but another level...
Ouyang Xiu seems to have the same concerns, so he has always been very cold towards Zhao Zongji. In total, Tiantong has not said more than ten words to him these days.
"One day in the future, you will be fine." Seeing his embarrassed look, Old Ouyang finally couldn't bear it and sent Chen Ke and others to work in the fields. This time he said to him calmly: "I will take you in."
Become a closed disciple."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Ouyang." Zhao Zongji's eyes suddenly turned red. He sang deeply and said aggrievedly, "I have never had any wrongdoing."
"Unfortunately, many times, no one cares about what you think." Ouyang Xiu looked at him empathically and said, "Others like to think for themselves."
"Yes..." Zhao Zongji took a deep breath, bit his lower lip and said, "Who makes me unlucky? I can't even be a carefree clan."
"You can't say that. Everyone has a hard time reciting the sutra. What does your hardship mean?" Ouyang Xiu enlightened him: "Don't talk about others, just talk about me. I lost my father when I was young, and my family is extremely poor. I have failed despite repeated attempts.
No. 3, there is no way to continue... I won’t go into details, but when I was most proud of my life, I was slandered by my political opponents as ‘adultery’. Not only was I demoted from Beijing, but I was also almost ruined. I was only thirty years old at that time, and now,
My temples have been stained with frost and my energy has weakened. Which one of us is suffering?"
"You suffer a hundred times more than me." Zhao Zongji said softly.
"When I was at my worst, my friends were afraid that something would happen to me and wrote letters to comfort me. But I wrote back and assured them: first, I would never give up on myself or complain. Second, even though I was demoted to Yiling,
It’s a small county town, but I will be a good official, diligent in political affairs, and will never slack off in work. Thirdly, I will learn the truth every day and study hard.” Ouyang Xiu showed a proud expression and said: “Ten years have passed.
Now, I can say, I did it!”
"Yes." Zhao Zongji said sincerely. When Ouyang Xiu was deposed, he was not as famous as he is now. Like Fan Zhongyan, he sublimated himself in the most difficult circumstances. One became a sage and the other a literary giant. He couldn't help but ask softly.
: "How do you overcome depression in the face of adversity?"
"There is nothing else. Only 'self-love'." Ouyang Xiu said lightly: "In this world, everyone can be forgiven for being sorry for you, but you can't forgive yourself for being sorry for yourself."
"Students, please be taught." Zhao Zongji bowed deeply.
"No one knows what will happen in the future," Ouyang Xiu hesitated for a long time, then added: "If that day comes, you have to be careful about Zhao Zongshi."
Another update, there is still one more to go, the update is basically completed, it is expected to be released after 12 o'clock. Dear friends, can't you see how hard the monk works? Just watch me get fucked in the ass?
