When Yang Lin's carriage arrived in Suzhou, Zhang Shuye had already arrived in Jiangnan. He was the patrol officer of the ten prefectures in Jiangnan, and he had great authority.
Of course, such an official position will not be retained for a long time, but after this time, Zhang Shuye's official career has been smooth.
In Tongyuan, Yin Muhong hosted a banquet in honor of Yang Lin and Zhang Shuye. This house is simply an elegant and exquisite garden building, with rockeries, corridors, fish ponds, flowers and plants everywhere. Although after being built as a government office, some purely decorative ones were demolished.
The yard made Yang Lin feel very distressed.
"You are really willing to do something. This yard is not too much compared to the peerless beauty. If you let her boil water and do chores, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources." Yang Lin looked at the bulldozed rockery and shook his head.
Yin Muhong said with a smile: "Since the Young Master has given it to the lower official, please stop sighing. The lower official feels that this place is too extravagant, just like the enchantress Bao Si Daji who brought disaster to the country, and is not suitable to remain in the world."
The only garden comparable to Genyue Shoushan became a spy nest. Yang Lin smiled helplessly: "It's up to you."
The corridors of Jiangnan buildings are very narrow, so the corridors look a bit dark. From time to time, there are narrow portals on the walls that go straight to the top, painted the same color as the walls. Sometimes, if you don’t pay attention, you won’t even know that there is a door next to it, and you will open the door inside.
It's a whole other world.
In the past, I was just amazed by these ingenuity and ingenuity, but now it seems that they are in line with the weirdness of the Duwei Mansion.
Zhang Shuye also felt that it was a pity that this courtyard still had some of the charm of the past, which was indeed rare in the world.
In front of me, Shaozai and Yin Muhong, one dares to give away, the other dares to tear down, they are both ruthless people...
The spies in the Duwei Mansion were walking in a hurry, with their heads lowered as they walked back and forth. Everyone looked in a hurry.
There were three of them, at most they clasped their fists and saluted, and then left in a hurry.
There is an overwhelming amount of intelligence on Jiangnan, and new discoveries are made every day. These clues are gathered on Yin Muhong's desk for him to analyze the situation in Jiangnan.
For Zhang Shuye, this kind of help was a dream help. At this time, he didn't understand the power of the Duwei Mansion, so he just looked around curiously.
After a while, when he arrived at a high-rise building, Yang Lin remembered the absurdity of being here. He had seized Zhu Meng's concubine and made him wait below, and then killed her a few days later. It was really exciting to think about it.
The food and drinks at the banquet were very simple. After the three of them sat down, they ate and talked.
Yang Lin tore off a piece of crispy phoenix breast and asked straight to the point: "How many dishonest people are there here? How about Cai Jing?"
Yin Muhong said with a smile: "Even the young prime minister knows the importance of Cai Jing. How can the local gentry not know that the door of Cai's Mansion is bustling with traffic every day, but my husband and prime minister basically turn him away. I only met Mr. Su once. It is said that
We didn't reach an agreement, so the angry Mr. Su turned red and walked out."
Yang Lin nodded and said: "My favor is not an ordinary slanderous book bag, nor is it a fool. These birdmen are far from me, and they still want to use him as a swordsman. Isn't it a joke?"
Someone dies."
"Young Zai, we have to be on guard." Yin Muhong pointed out.
Of course Yang Lin knew that Cai Jing would not be willing to be kicked out of Bianliang by him. His desire for power has actually reached the point of obsession. Cai Jing has always been happy with the feeling of dominating the world, as if he was in the clouds.
in it.
A palace coup ended his career as prime minister twelve years in advance and almost killed him.
He even chopped his eldest son alive. Although he and Cai Jing had a deep relationship and had a lot of grudges, they could not let go of this grudge.
Although when Cai You was alive, he spent every day trying to get angry at his biological father. But father and son are connected, Cai You is his eldest son after all, and the family relationship is thicker than water.
Even if Cai Lingbao is favored, she is just a concubine. This relationship cannot cover up hatred. As for his disciple Cai Sui, it is okay. In his heart, he is very disdainful of his eldest brother's traitorous behavior, even if he let him
Even if he came to impose punishment, he would not spare Cai You's life.
Yang Lin pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "My husband's ancestral home is Lingnan, right?"
Yin Muhong raised his eyes to look at him and said in a deep voice: "Young Master, do you mean to send him back to Lingnan?"
"I didn't say that my husband will always be my favored minister and a veteran minister who has served the country. How could I bear such a bad reputation? Even you minions can't stand the old man and drove them back to Lingnan to guard him.
It has nothing to do with me."
Yin Muhong nodded, Zhang Shuye's face turned red, and he lowered his head and looked at the wine cup, as if there were endless mysteries inside.
"Speaking of which, there are several wealthy and aristocratic families on Jiangnan East Road, and their recent behavior has been a bit unusual. The younger brother of the head of the Gu family, a prominent family in Lingnan, keeps going to Jiaozhi, which seems to be a bit too frequent."
Yang Lin frowned. Jiaozhi had always been the toe of the Central Plains dynasty. After it was split, thousands of years later, there was still resentment against the mother body. They had never looked at the Han people in a friendly way. But things worsened to the point where they later...
The Song Dynasty cannot be separated from it.
At the very beginning, in the late Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were established, and the Jiaozhi region was also divided into more than a dozen large and small regimes. During the Unification War of the Northern Song Dynasty, a Ding tribe leader appeared in this region and unified the region.
, established the Ding Dynasty and established himself as king. This should be the beginning of the independence of Jiaozhi in the Song Dynasty. During this period, Zhao Kuangyin did not pay attention to this country, but instead conferred the title of Ding tribe leader as a county king, which caused chaos and independence in the later period.
beginning.
After Ding Bu took over, there were two coups in this area. These two coups were opportunities for the Song Dynasty to regain this area. However, due to the failure of the war, the Song Dynasty gradually lost control of this area and eventually continued to compromise until Li
The consolidation of the political power of the Song Dynasty caused the Song Dynasty to completely lose control of this area, which gradually became an independent country and later developed into Vietnam.
Before the Song Dynasty, even during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the very weak Southern Dynasty also controlled Jiaozhi. Jiaozhi still belonged to the political power of the Central Plains region. However, after the Song Dynasty, this area became independent, which made subsequent dynasties want to control this area.
Local control requires huge military and financial resources, and people here gradually have the ambition and popularity to establish an independent country.
As part of the original territory of the Central Plains Dynasty, Jiaozhi must have some connections with several large families in Lingnan.
After all, they had just been separated, how could they have broken it off so completely, and now they dared to interfere with the Song Dynasty? After defeating the Song Dynasty several times, they felt that their military power was superior.
No wonder Yang Lin suspected Jiaozhi, sent troops to invade the Song Dynasty, and intervened in the Song Dynasty's policies as a great power. They had a criminal record.
During the Xining period of the Song Dynasty, Jiaozhi raised 80,000 troops to attack the Song Dynasty. The reason why Jiaozhi sent the troops was even more ridiculous. Jiaozhi claimed that the people were displaced by the Song Dynasty's reforms, and the troops were sent to save the people.
The Jiaozhi army sent out troops in three groups. One group captured Qinzhou at the end of the year, one group captured Lianzhou three days later, and the other group went straight to attack Yongzhou. Yongzhou City was the capital of the Song Dynasty government in Guangxi.
In an important town run by Yongzhou, Zhizhou Su Yan led a few thousand troops to resist a force ten times larger than his own. He fought bravely and killed more than 10,000 Jiaozhi soldiers. However, due to being outnumbered, Yongzhou was finally forced to commit suicide with his family.
. Jiaozhi suffered heavy casualties under Yongzhou City, so Jiaozhi carried out a crazy massacre after Yongzhou City was broken. According to statistics, there were 50,000 officials and the people were massacred.
What Yang Lin is doing now is more than a thousand times more serious than Xining's reform. It is not impossible for these birdmen to send troops.
For their own benefit, these gentry have done things to attract foreigners to enter the country more than once. Each time, it was a catastrophe for the Han people in the Central Plains.
If the wealthy families in Lingnan have this idea, it would be a shame to die.
Yang Lin drank a glass of wine and said: "This matter must be investigated clearly and more manpower deployed. This is the top priority and will not be tolerated. If there are really scoundrels who try to conspire with Jiaozhi to cause harm to the country, whoever is somewhat implicated, I mean
Don’t be afraid of overdoing things, don’t think about killing chickens to scare monkeys, just kill chickens and monkeys, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!”
Yin Muhong bowed slightly and said, "Dali has strong soldiers and horses. After Shao Zai is gone, you might as well put more effort into trying out the new policies."
Yang Lin sighed, this winter will not be too long, it is still only a few months, and the Jurchens don't know how much time they will give themselves. I didn't want to cause too many problems, but this trip to Dali seems to be getting more and more complicated.
