1476, the rivers and lakes have you (48) three in one
Jianghu has you (48)
The news about flying out together with the Queen of the New Song Dynasty for her birthday was also related to several political orders against the Southern Song Dynasty that the Fourth Master and Tongtong had communicated before.
Originally, the queen was celebrating her birthday and came up with the method of limiting spending, which had already caused an uproar in the Southern Song Dynasty. The local stones in the New Song Dynasty were almost sold for the price of jade... The businessman's sense of smell is so sensitive, he would have smelled it early
When it comes to the business opportunities inside, there are many businessmen who want to make a small fortune, even if they are walking around the streets, they also want to collect some things that don't cost much, but they look really rare.
Therefore, the birthday celebration of the queen of the New Song Dynasty became the most popular topic of conversation after dinner during this period of the Southern Song Dynasty.
"Grandstanding!" Empress Dowager Yang also heard about it in the palace, and smiled coldly. After laughing, she couldn't help but feel horrified: Xin Song was just celebrating birthdays, this was clearly a way to spread a signal to the outside world by celebrating birthdays.
Whether the court of the New Song Dynasty was incorruptible or not can be seen through just this one incident.
Empress Dowager Yang sighed softly, how could the Southern Song Dynasty do this? The Southern Song Dynasty was rich, and the country was rich. The country was rich, how could it not collect taxes. The places that could be exempted and exempted every year were really limited. Even if there was a real disaster, the people below would do it for political achievements.
He also refused to report it. The imperial court also turned a blind eye and pretended that it didn't happen. But the New Song Dynasty was different. If natural disasters were reported in time and handled properly, meritorious service would be done faster than just a peace officer.
many.
In the past, no one paid attention to these things. When talking about the New Song Dynasty, they often talked about how the Jin people were treated preferentially. But now this birthday has given birth to so many stories. As long as someone talks about it, these topics will inevitably spread. First, comparison
As a birthday gift, compare the official family with the harem.
Today's officials are not ignorant people, but they still have to pay attention to big things. Especially when the Queen Mother celebrates her birthday, precisely because she is not her biological son, the officials have to be more solemn. Big birthdays and small birthdays
, he did it as a serious matter to show his filial piety. This was nothing at first, and the courtiers were all aware of it. But now that this incident has come out, the two sides have compared it, and this birthday show, which is usually praised as a loving mother and a filial son, has become a
To avoid extravagance and waste.
She had heard before that in some places, in order to send birthday gifts to the Queen Mother, taxes were added, and no one shared the amount of money or food equally, just to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.
Now that this incident has spread, you can imagine how the public resentment will boil over.
Of course, it is not just a sin to celebrate one's own birthday, it is also a sin for the official family. It is a sin to repair the palace, give gardens to her concubines and princesses, etc.
The official family over there has a poor wife, and has never been dissatisfied with it since the founding of the country. But here, the queen has become a clay Bodhisattva placed in the temple, but she has made all kinds of exceptions and favors for the imperial concubine.
In such a comparison, the officials, who had nothing wrong with them, turned out to be lustful and luxurious people.
Public dissatisfaction had already arisen, but before the people here could figure out how to guide it, several bombshells were dropped.
Scholars had argued hard before and were quite dissatisfied with the New Song Dynasty. As a result, they were exempted from the imperial examination, and scholars from the north and the south were treated equally. Those who took the exam many times in the Southern Song Dynasty and failed to make any progress... There is no place where their minds can't be active. Even those who don't want to go,
It's hard to say bad things about others now. After all, no one knows if any of these classmates can't see a future in the Southern Song Dynasty and are planning to go to the New Song Dynasty. It's smart to offend people.
People wouldn't do it. At least, there are fewer people criticizing the New Song Dynasty.
Then, the uneducated children from poor families rejoiced. When they enlisted in the army, they would have military ranks and be given a salary. The salary was enough to support the family, so why not go? In some villages, as soon as they heard the news, they organized each village or clan as a unit.
All the children at home are gathered together, so that they can be taken care of on the way. After arriving there, whoever can pass the exam can go, and those who fail can come back. This can also make people feel at ease.
Even in a family like Yang Cishan, there are many young men in the Yang family who are unwilling to suffer the poor life of living in the mountains. They all feel that only Yang Cishan's lineage is prominent in the court, but other clan members are unwilling to promote them, and they have set rules.
, members of the clan are not allowed to serve as officials in the government. Generation after generation, how can they be at ease?
Therefore, these children communicated privately, and some even secretly told the adults, telling the adults to also hide it from Yang Cishan. Only after the others left did Yang Cishan find out. At this time, he was on his way to visit the clan, and received
When Xin saw this, he just sighed and let it pass.
Instead, he asked about the envoys going to the New Song Dynasty, "Who do the officials plan to send? Is there any news?"
The visitor only shook his head: "...there was no news from the palace when I came... I just said that the official family had acquired a beauty, and it has been several days since I went to court..."
Yang Cishan took the letter and slapped it on the table, humming softly but saying nothing.
In the new Song Dynasty, Long'er also sorted out the news from Fei Ge and sent it in: "... Concubine Jia Guifei is now very sick, and the official's treatment of her is not as good as before. The Xie family doesn't know where they got a woman named Yan.
She has a beautiful appearance and is quite favored now..."
"Then this is really exciting." Lin Yutong shook his head and chuckled: "Let's see!"
Isn’t it just for people to watch and enjoy?
Empress Dowager Yang got angry and her cheeks began to swell, but she could not even see the officials. Concubine Jia was out of breath after walking three steps, and came over to cry and complained about the Yan family, because the officials summoned the princess to see her yesterday.
The woman was placed in Concubine Yan's palace at night.
How did my mother-in-law endure this?
But what is the use of looking for the Queen Mother? Queen Mother Yang will not have anything to do with the officials because of this matter! At that time, Concubine Jia had already incurred the displeasure of the officials, and her right to speak now is far less than it was then, so why bother with such a thing. She is good
He persuaded Concubine Jia to go back with good words, but Concubine Jia was willing to give up.
When she saw her brother Jia Sidao, she made a lot of complaints.
Jia Sidao frowned: "Sister, why do you need to make the officials unhappy with these things? Why do you need to use the knife yourself to kill someone?"
Concubine Jia was puzzled: "What are your ideas?"
This sister and brother are extraordinary. The love they had for each other in the past is the most important thing for each other. The elder sister can't worry about her younger brother, and the younger brother also cares about her elder sister. Let alone her elder sister, she only heard that she took the princess to another woman.
Xi Dao was already furious.
So he said: "That woman is just a girl who was found from outside and can't figure it out. She has only two looks. When it comes to scheming, can my sister lose to her? Ignore other things, this is all I need to do..." He
He leaned over and muttered a few words in a low voice, then stopped talking.
Concubine Jia's face turned a bit red and she nodded slightly.
The next day, Concubine Jia asked to see the emperor and knelt outside the main hall. Now Zhao Yun's only bloodline, Princess Zhao Wei of Rui State, was born to Concubine Jia, and the love between the two could not be forgotten in a day or two. Thinking of her
Zhao Yun finally saw that she was in poor health. She originally thought she came here to make trouble because she loved the Yan family, but she didn't expect that Concubine Jia not only didn't make trouble, but also said a lot of praises for the Yan family. In the end, she even begged to enshrine the Yan family.
For a noble concubine.
Concubine Jia said that she was not in good health and could not serve the king, and she was worried every time. Now that she saw Yan, she was indeed very good, and she was willing to treat her as a sister... When she saw Yan coming out, she even bowed and addressed her first.
The other party is 'sister'.
Zhao Yun suddenly felt that his life would be very complete if he could get a beauty as considerate as Concubine Jia and a beauty as charming as Concubine Yan.
He reciprocated the favor and asked Concubine Jia what reward she wanted.
What kind of reward could Concubine Jia ask for? It was just that her younger brother had no one to teach him, and she feared that it would be difficult for him to stand on his own in the future. She asked the emperor for a job, and became an envoy to go out for a walk, so as not to cause trouble in the capital.
This was planned by the siblings. They took a step back temporarily and asked Concubine Yan to work hard.
There is nothing wrong with this, just give him a title and appoint him as an envoy.
One decree followed another, first to confer a title to the imperial concubine, and then to confer titles and official titles to Concubine Jia’s natal brothers. The censors and courtiers had to give advice as they should. Now that public dissatisfaction has boiled over, you have to do this again.
Is this kind of thing to stimulate people's sensitive nerves?
Such an impeachment would also have an effect. That is, Jia Sidao could be the deputy envoy, but absolutely not the chief envoy.
Who will send the messenger?
Let's go from Qiao Xingjian. At this time, he is the prime minister of Zuo, and his official position is acceptable.
But before leaving, one more person was added, Ding Daquan.
"Ding Daquan... is unknown, just a small county captain..." Long'er told her father in the palace: "I just followed the path of Prime Minister Zheng Qingzhi's wife, and I was recommended by Zheng Qingzhi..."
The Fourth Master thought to himself that this was quite a blessing.
Nowadays, this Ding Daquan is not well-known, but he is a treacherous official in the Southern Song Dynasty who is as famous as Jia Sidao. The two have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, which shows what he can do. This man was particularly greedy for money and lustful. According to records, he invited
The matchmaker asked for his son to marry a favored girl, and the marriage was settled. However, he accidentally met the girl and was shocked for a moment. So, he didn't care about his son. He directly
He wanted to take that girl as his concubine. He was so lustful that he forgot about human relations, which shows his character.
Long'er added: "This Ding Daquan was quite close to Dong Songchen, the chamberlain in the Southern Song Dynasty palace."
Dong Songchen is Zhao Yun's personal eunuch.
As soon as Long Er said that, the Fourth Master immediately identified the person. Presumably, he was also connected with the loyal ministers through the eunuch. A person like him was not in the eyes of Zheng Qingzhi, the Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. But it was helpless. Although Zheng Qingzhi was the Prime Minister,
But because of his old age, he no longer cares about things. He occupies the position of prime minister, but the government affairs handled by the prime minister are all handled by his wife and eldest son. Because Zheng Qingzhi was originally abolished together with Shi Miyuan
The prince supported Zhao Yun as one of the emperor's ministers, so Zhao Yun treated him particularly favorably. However, his wife and son did not have the talents of the prime minister, but they held the prime minister's authority. For a time, bribery became common. He was good at bribery.
The campers just ask for a visit, and there are few things that can't be done.
When Long Er got the list, he was a little angry: "This is so disrespectful!"
The envoy was sent on an envoy, what a big deal it was, and it was decided as if it was a joke. Does this mean that the New Song Dynasty was not taken seriously?
The Fourth Master did not show any anger: The people who came here are all the influential figures in the future. It is not easy for these people to achieve success, but it is easy to do bad things. If used well, it may not have miraculous effects.
After the child left, the Fourth Master told the confused Tongtong who this was and what weird things they had done.
Tongtong’s history book is really just a read. There are so many names in history, can I remember who is who? The one who has the impression is Jia Sidao, but I really don’t know about the others. Now Fourth Master Ting has these as if they are treasures in his family.
After reading it over and over again, she felt that this Southern Song Dynasty... was hard to describe in words.
The Prime Minister's wife can actually handle political affairs with the Prime Minister's authority... Hahaha... The emperor in the palace doesn't care?
She really didn't know how to comment other than 'haha'.
Lin Yutong already thought it was absurd enough, but it turned out to be even more absurd. Zhao Yun actually walked in front of the envoy, and then made another decision. What decision? His concubine Yan wanted to build a merit temple. This official
He actually decided to use the national treasury and even sent officials to various states and counties to collect wood and build merit temples for them. For a time, everyone was in an uproar.
The news is faster than the legs of the envoys. When the envoys arrived in Yanjing one after another, a poem followed them and arrived in Yanjing.
"Don't plant Poria cocos to plant pine trees, just because the mountains are green all the time. The old monk is not allowed to remove the pine trees and leave them to the West Lake to make a painting screen." Heng'er looked at the poem on the paper and sighed for a moment: "That person
The official... seems a little unclear!"
Just to build a temple for his noble concubine, he couldn't find suitable beams and pillars, so he actually wanted to cut down the ancient pines of the Jin Dynasty in front of Lingyin Temple. Monk Yuan Zhao, the abbot of Lingyin Temple, wrote a poem. The poem was just a poem, but this influence
But it's too bad.
He put down the paper and whispered: "The Southern Song Dynasty...the situation is over!"
But even after the situation is over, there is still the saying: the centipede insect dies but does not freeze.
Therefore, we have to create chaos from within to truly defeat him.
Qiao Xingjian is okay, but he is old. But Jia Sidao and Ding Daquan are easy to deal with.
The envoys from the Southern Song Dynasty were the first to come. When they arrived in Yanjing, a heavy snowfall happened. People who are used to staying in the south could not get used to the extreme cold in the north. There were many complaints along the way.
But once they entered the Southern Song Dynasty Pavilion prepared for them, all complaints disappeared.
The room is as warm as spring, and flowers are blooming. Even if the coachman comes with him, there is always hot water in the room, and you can take a bath by turning it on.
Qiao Xingjian was received by officials from the Ministry of Personnel and sent in for placement. As soon as the older man finished bathing, an imperial doctor came over to diagnose his pulse and prescribe medicine for maintenance, which made him feel no ill feelings at all. The dishes were served on the table.
Half of them are his daily favorites, and the other half are local specialties, but he should also choose the taste he likes. As soon as he saw this dish, his expression changed drastically.
The New Song Dynasty knew the tastes of the courtiers of the Southern Song Dynasty very clearly, but so many people in the Southern Song Dynasty scolded Zhao Fan of the New Song Dynasty for forgetting his ancestors. But who has really seen Zhao Fan and knows what kind of person he is and what he likes?
What are you good at?
When I think about it carefully, I only know my age and experience, and nothing else.
Everyone in the Southern Song Dynasty claimed that he had been turned into a barbarian, but in a world governed by barbarians, the sound of reading could be heard everywhere along the way. Confucius, Mencius, Laozi and Zhuang were not limited to a certain school of thought. Is this a barbarian?
When he arrived in Yanjing, he saw four or five people with deep eye sockets, high noses, yellow hair and blue eyes. These people were walking freely on the streets. Except for foreigners like himself, no one showed curiosity, which shows that this is common.
This made him feel very excited. That night, he still didn't have a good rest in the Gaochuang soft sleeper, but he was eager to hand over his credentials and wait for an interview.
The fourth master didn't ask anyone to wait. He collected the food here and invited people over there.
This time, two deputy envoys were not invited, but only Qiao Xingjian was brought into the palace.
As soon as he entered the palace, Qiao Xingjian felt a little uncomfortable. Because the people walking in the palace did not look like servants. It was like entering a wealthy family, and all the people coming in and out were servants. Of course, these servants
'They are not just ordinary servants. They are divided into two categories based on their clothes. One type is in fancy clothes and the other is in long robes. Both types of people perform their duties without interfering with each other.
Entering this way is the inner palace.
There were no men in the inner palace, and the ones leading the way were a few women who looked particularly strong, but there was no fear of women in their movements, and they responded appropriately.
There are not many palaces in the inner palace, but most of them are open. It is easy to see that many places are used to entertain the wives of the inner palace. As for the gardens in the palace, there is indeed something impressive. After turning around the two palace gates,
The back doesn't look like a palace at all. You can see a lake in the distance, but along the lake, except for the paths, there are large fields. Even if it is covered with snow, you can see that crops are indeed grown.
fields. Under the snow is straw. What is under the straw?
He was curious for a moment, so he stopped and squatted down, pulled it open and took a look. It turned out to be spinach, with very thick leaves. Perhaps because it was well protected, there were slight signs of being frozen, but it didn't affect the taste.
He stood up, a little embarrassed. The woman who led the way didn't take it seriously: "This is the seed of the official family and my mother-in-law."
Qiao Xingjian thought to himself: He is good at making gestures.
The emperor plowing the land and the queen raising silkworms has developed into a ritual throughout the dynasties. But who has ever seen the emperor actually plowing the land and the queen really raising silkworms?
He smiled and said nothing, stretched out his hand to grab a handful of clean snow, washed away the dust on his hands, and continued to move forward. The woman did not explain much and continued to lead the way.
This place doesn't look like a palace. You have to walk along the "country road" for two miles and then you reach the lake. Standing by the lake is a young man wearing a big cloak with a smile on his face.
The cloak was made of fox fur, and it was not very expensive. Seeing that there was no one around the little boy, he thought to himself that he was probably a servant boy.
The woman stepped aside when she saw Heng'er, and Qiao Xingjian walked over. Heng'er saw that he didn't mean to be polite, so he knew that he might not have recognized him. He didn't say anything, and just smiled and said: "Qiao Xingjian"
Prime Minister, please invite me."
Follow the winding bridge until you reach the island.
The island is covered with fruit trees. Along the clean road, you can see the courtyard deep in the orchard. When you get to the door, it is just a small courtyard. Everything is neatly covered, and there are free-range hens in front of the door.
Scratching in the snow for food. Enter through the gate, bypass the screen wall, go up the verandah, and go straight to the main hall.
There was no one in the main hall, so I sat down and a beautiful girl in homely clothes came out with a tea cup and said, "Prime Minister Qiao, please have tea."
Qiao Xingjian couldn't help but take another look at the girl. She had such a look that even the new favorite of the official family, Yan Guifei, was inferior to her. From the way she acted and behaved, she looked noble and dignified. However, her clothes and jewelry seemed too simple.
At that time, he didn't know the identity of the other party.
But I heard the boy who led the way ask the girl: "Isn't it over there yet?"
"It's quick, I'll be here right away," the girl replied.
The two of them are very familiar with each other. Which side do you mean by 'over there'?
The tea in his hand was still hot when hurried footsteps came from outside. Then the curtain opened and a man in a blue shirt walked in. Judging from his appearance, this man was less than thirty years old. His temperament was gentle and calm.
As he came in, he patted the soil off his body.
He stood up and was thinking about who this person was. He was so comfortable here, even a little bit arbitrary.
I heard that the girl serving tea had already come up to me, called "Daddy", and then asked: "Where is my mother?"
"Your mother will be here soon." The Fourth Master said and looked at Qiao Xingjian. Not to mention, the old man was in his fifties, but his appearance was still considered to be top-notch. He looked at it and said:
"Long wait." Then he went straight to the main seat and sat down.
Qiao Xingjian was so shocked that he almost threw away the tea bowl in his hand, stood up after rubbing it, and immediately saluted: "Qiao Xingjian, a foreign minister, comes to the official house."
Fourth Master did not get up to help him, but only glanced at Heng'er.
Heng'er then smiled and helped him up: "Prime Minister Qiao, please get up. The ground is cold. It's even more unbearable now that it's so cold and freezing. I've read the pulse report from the imperial doctor before. I said it's your lord's fault."
The moisture on your body is heavy, so you need to take good care of it. There is no other benefit in Yanjing, but this warm kang is the most beneficial to Lao Han's legs."
His words were warm and extremely close.
Only then did Qiao Xingjian realize who this boy was.
Looking at the child at this moment, he didn't look like he was about ten years old at all. After taking off the outer cloak, he was just wearing the most ordinary cotton robe. But this child, after helping himself up and letting go, sat on the secondary seat of the main seat.
.Thinking again of the tea girl's "Daddy", he could not help but tremble all over: These must be the princes and empresses of the New Song Dynasty.
I don't know why, but his tears fell down immediately.
The royal family of the Zhao and Song Dynasties was weak, women in the harem wielded power, and treacherous ministers and powerful ministers frequently appeared in the previous dynasty... He always thought that this was the real crisis within the Southern Song Dynasty. But looking at it now... This is still a descendant of the royal family of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, but he is very heroic.
, a generation of heroes. Plus there are successors... No wonder some people say that the revival of the Zhao family only depends on the New Song Dynasty.
The Fourth Master pretended not to notice his gaffe, and after having some tea, he asked about the journey: "Is it by land or by water? Is it going well?"
Qiao Xingjian didn't know what this person wanted to know from his mouth, so he spoke with extra caution: "I originally thought of taking a section of the waterway and then a land route, but I didn't expect that when I arrived in the Northland, this section of the canal was smoother than in the Southland.
."
A lot of effort has been spent on river management in the past ten years.
The fourth master took advantage of the situation and talked about the situation of each section of the river. Each data was well-founded. Qiao Xingjian couldn't help but be shocked. When Lin'an's moat was dredged last year, the subordinates also came to report it. He even went there himself.
He had seen it on the construction site, but he had only seen it. How could he remember this? But this emperor made it clear that he could say it, and even brought out a lot of words in his words, "...now
The transportation capacity is sufficient for the time being, but in the future, the river surface will have to be widened..." Including which section passes through which area, which county and town it flows through, which village and which direction, and wharves will be built, etc., then the land will be
He also talked about some of the tax collection and trial methods. Although it was not exhaustive, it still made him sweat.
The more he talked, the more he could not help but bring out the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty. Of course, it was all about the canal.
The Fourth Master had already made plans for the section of the river in the Southern Song Dynasty. A Heng turned around and went to the study, took out the drawings and unfolded them. The Fourth Master called Qiao Xingjian to come over and pointed at this section.
He also asked Qiao Xingjian from time to time what he thought of the river, what was the situation there, and what should be done. Questions like, "What does Mr. Qiao think?" "Is there a better strategy?" "Is there anything else to add?"
?'.
After being guided in this way, Qiao Xingjian couldn't help but think, if things can be done like this, then what else needs to be checked and filled. As he spoke, Heng'er was laying paper aside to record, but he thought in his heart
:Dad originally thought more thoughtfully than these people, but he deliberately left a few flaws and asked them to pick out the flaws and make up for them. I think it was for the sake of these people's hearts. In my mother's words, this is called 'ownership'
' mentality. Tell everyone to treat this matter as their own business. Just like this Prime Minister Qiao, he was very reserved before and was on guard. But when it came to business, his father kept pulling him in again, and he
In the blink of an eye, he changed roles and followed this train of thought.
The two of them talked quite agreeably. They were led by their father from the desk to the dining table, where they sat down and started talking.
Lin Yutong was speechless and put the dishes on the table one by one. He only stopped when it was time to eat.
Qiao Xingjian was startled when he looked at the woman who was setting the dishes and chopsticks, and quickly stood up: "Madam, hello." He also saw that this small courtyard was where a family of four lived. There were no waiters.
There are signs of coming. Then, this meal must be made by this empress.
"Master Qiao, sit down. Let's talk while we eat." Lin Yutong waved the bowls and chopsticks, and Long'er had already come over with the soup. He put it on the table and just shouted about it, and asked Qiao Xingjian: "Master Qiao must have it."
Have a good taste. My mother knew you were coming yesterday and she had already stewed this dish."
What I made yesterday is true. This dish is Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, which is considered an authentic southern dish.
Qiao Xingjian felt uncomfortable all over. When the food came, he felt a little on pins and needles. There was no priority at the large round table. Men and women were seated at the same table, and they did not sit separately. There was no waiter around.
The meal was eaten in silence.
After finishing the meal, the fruit plate was brought over. Long Er took away the bowls, chopsticks and plates, and Qiao Xing simply said, let’s get to the point.
The fourth master really got to the point. He asked, "What do you think, Mr. Qiao, of the New Song Dynasty, where people from the north to the south are treated equally for recruiting scholars?"
Qiao Xingjian frowned slightly, but sighed in her heart: "It's just a matter of people doing their best."
"It's good for a person to make the best use of his talents." The fourth master said: "The north and south are vast, and no matter how you choose the talents needed for management, it seems that there are not enough talents. To be honest, I am envious. I don't envy anything else in the Southern Song Dynasty, I only envy the abundance of talents."
Qiao Xing wrote this: There was rice in the Southern Song Dynasty, and rice was also produced in the New Song Dynasty. It is said that the output was not low and the quality was good. The Southern Song Dynasty had silk, and the New Song Dynasty had high-quality cotton. The Southern Song Dynasty had porcelain, and the New Song Dynasty made its own porcelain.
It doesn't have any charm either.
If there is a gap, it really lies in talent.
The fourth master saw that he was looking proud and said: "Sometimes, division will cause two harms, and unity will benefit both sides! But people in the world are often blind, and they give up their own interests for the interests of others."
Qiao Xingjian didn't understand the meaning of these words for a while. Just when he was thinking about how to answer these words, he heard someone say again: "I know that Mr. Qiao has the habit of taking a nap at noon. It's almost time now, so I'll ask someone to send you off."
Let's go back."
Heng'er stood up and waited as if to see off guests. Qiao Xingjian quickly stood up and left, and was still a little unresponsive until he was sent out of the palace.
When I came back, I lay on the heated kang in the embassy, feeling the surge of warmth dissipate the coldness in my knees, and my mind became clearer and clearer.
Can cooperation benefit both parties?
Who mates with whom?
Are they Zhao Yun and Zhao Yun?
No! No! If there are no two kings in a country, one of them must step down. So, it must not be referring to them.
Who else could you point to?
The official said that what he wanted was talent.
For the Southern Song Dynasty, what did the Southern Song Dynasty lack? It lacked a talented emperor. Because the royal family was weak and treacherous ministers were in power, how many talents were left in exile and could not make full use of their talents?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. After sighing, he sat up.
He seemed to understand a little bit what this official wanted to say. What he wanted to say was that he was willing to 'join' with the courtiers of the Southern Song Dynasty!
How should we interpret this ‘combination’?
Join forces? Or cooperate?
If we work together, no one is stupid and there is no benefit, so who will do it with you?
But if it's cooperation, everyone gets what they need. At least, everyone benefits.
Therefore, he prefers the second option: cooperation!
cooperate?
This approach is not surprising. Wasn't there once the practice of "the king and the horse share the world"?
He got up and wandered around the room.
Jia Sidao, who had been waiting for a long time, heard that the person had returned, so he came over in person. When he came over, Ding Daquan, who had a slightly blue complexion, was already waiting respectfully outside. Jia Sidao did not like Ding Daquan.
, a country man who was born in the countryside married a maid from a wealthy family as his wife. He acted like a groveling slave when he met others. Therefore, even if the other party was also a deputy envoy, he didn't like to talk to him. He directly passed this person and took a step.
Go into the hall.
The servants of the Qiao family were very polite to the uncle of the Jia family. They brought him in and served him tea and a fruit plate. But when he came in and out, no one paid any attention to Ding Daquan when he saw him.
Ding Daquan was so angry that he didn't dare to let it out. He bought such an opportunity with money, unlike this uncle, who had a sister as a concubine in the palace and a niece who was the emperor's only concubine.
.He doesn’t have the same confidence as others.
The snow from the sky was falling again, and soon his head and shoulders were all white, but he stood outside and didn't move at all.
Jia Sidao was sitting inside, with a sarcastic look on his face. He was holding a book in his hand and flipping through it. He was eating the fruit in his hand one bite at a time... Qiao Xingjian saw this when he came out.
A laid-back uncle.
The other party made a gesture to stand up and salute, Qiao Xingjian raised his hand and pressed down: "Sit down, no need to be polite." He then said politely, "The wait has been long, hasn't it? No, I'm old, so I won't be here at noon.
Give it a rest, I can’t bear it anymore.”
"You are always strong." Jia Sidao said politely, and then immediately changed to the main topic: "Have you ever entered the palace?"
Qiao Xingjian nodded: "In."
"Have you met that official too?" Jia Sidao leaned forward and asked again.
Qiao Xingjian nodded somewhat reservedly: "See you."
Jia Sidao raised his eyebrows, feeling a little unhappy. What did this mean? He asked himself, and he answered without any intention of exchanging information with him.
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, he knew that even if he asked, the other party would not tell the truth. So, he stopped asking and stood up directly and said: "Then sir, please rest, I won't disturb you."
, just throw up your sleeves and leave.
Qiao Xingjian's attendant said: "Sir, why did you offend him? He is the uncle of the country after all." Regardless of whether he is a real official or not, if the officials say that someone is a brother-in-law, then he is the brother-in-law.
Qiao Xingjian put down the tea cup heavily: "Do I, the prime minister of a country, have to bow down to him?"
The prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty...how pathetic.
The attendant said: "New Song Dynasty is better. I have never heard anyone say that uncle Guo..."
Qiao Xingjian said "hmm", and just after he finished "hmm", he realized: Uncle Peri is a queen with no brothers, there is nothing to say about this... But there is no miserable prime minister in the New Song Dynasty, that's because the New Song Dynasty is basically
There is no prime minister.
Why is the position of prime minister vacant?
When I thought of the word '合' again, I was shocked. It turned out that I had just wanted to make trouble. This official was more courageous than I imagined. If he promised all the ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty, the royal flag would be changed on the city wall of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Their official positions also remained unchanged, so how strong were their voices against the New Song Dynasty?
Don’t forget, the Southern Song Dynasty is just a corner. If you add the New Song Dynasty, this will be the Song Dynasty before Jiang Kang’s tragedy!
How can a Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty be compared with the Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty?
Thinking like this, his breathing couldn't help but quicken.
But Jia Sidao went out arrogantly, and passed by Ding Daquan arrogantly when he returned to his yard. He immediately called for someone: "Send a message to King Zhao, saying that my uncle wants to see you."
When Wan Yankang received the post, he took it and smiled, "Reply to him and it means that I will host a banquet for Uncle Jia in the evening."
After arranging the people, he asked his son in front of him: "Do you know where Ding Daquan is now?"
Yang Guo then laughed mockingly: "Where can we go? We're going outside the city."
There is Goulan Courtyard outside the city. The fourth master and Tongtong are very disgusted with this kind of place, but it is obviously impossible to apply it across the board. All they can do is to force them to stop running, so they imposed heavy taxes. Therefore, this place was removed from the city.
They moved outside the city, but business was not slow at all.
Wanyankang only frowned after hearing this, but said: "Follow me and go meet this Ding Daquan."
Yang Guo pointed to his nose: "Shall I go?"
Then I should go alone or take someone else with me... Your mother won't eat me when she comes back?! Your mother won't think too much about it if she takes you with her.
I can’t even figure this out, and I still miss Di Ji, where can I stay where it’s cool?
The author has something to say: I'm stuck on the road right now, and it's inconvenient to make changes on my mobile phone. I originally expected to get home at six o'clock and then make changes and updates, but now it's too late to update it for everyone. No matter how late I get home, I will update it tonight.
If there is an additional update, it is likely that it will be after early morning. So, if you can’t wait, don’t wait. It will be the same thing if you check again tomorrow morning.
