Life in the wilderness is hard, especially when everyone is waiting.
To be fair, Han Shizhong's march was very fast. On October 17th, he set a strategy and then galloped to various places in Beijing to deliver military orders. Han Shizhong was not found until the 23rd.
There is a small episode here. It turns out that the commander of the imperial camp's left army was originally fighting a rebellion in Shanzhou (later Shanxian County, Shandong Province), which was only three hundred miles away from the boundary ditch. However, he was particularly good at fighting. Before setting off here, he gave Soon after setting off, he put down the rebellion here and surrendered the rebels. However, he was summoned by his superior Liu Guangshi to help the latter. By the time the envoy arrived, Liu Guangshi's rebellion had almost been eliminated. Han Shizhong was wiped out.
However, after receiving the order, Han Shizhong did not hesitate at all. After congratulating Liu Guangshi, he immediately gathered his 8,000 troops and returned. On October 30, a fast horse came to report that Han Tongzhi had arrived in Mingdao. The palace... we will arrive in Xingzai in two or three days.
However, even so, the officials in the industry can't help but feel anxious... In the past, they could discuss personnel appointments in various places and talk about local delegation arrangements, but now the Huaixi thieves are stubbornly blocking them. The road ahead is not smooth, and after discussing the JD.com and Tokyo matters, there really is nothing wrong at all.
As a result, the officials of the Song Dynasty started their own traditional art again, which was to criticize each other.
Within a few days, someone first impeached Yu Wenxuzhong, the academician of Zizhengdian Palace, for their faults in Jingkang... This is probably because this academician has gained more and more favor and trust from the officials recently, and there are rumors that this person is going to enter the imperial court. There is news about the Xifu (Privy Council), so everyone compares their feelings and be vigilant for Mr. Li;
Then some people impeached Li Gang for being domineering and abusing his power so much that he was trapped in this kind of countryside... Not to mention this, with Li Boji's performance, I don't know how many people want to share His Majesty's worries!
However, these are just small fights, because there has been no action on the part of the serious Yanguan, and if you really want to move a prime minister or a person like a bachelor, you must have a censor to directly open fire - the political tradition of the Song Dynasty , the censor directly impeached the prime minister, and the prime minister must resign to prove his innocence.
At this time, the officials can deal with it according to their own wishes, either leaving the prime minister to serve as censor, or going along with the situation and dismissing the prime minister!
Li Gang resigned from office twice before, following this process.
On the first day of November, in the evening, Zhang Jun, the censor Zhongcheng, who had nothing to do, returned to his residence easily.
Although it is a residence, how can a temple in the wilderness, no matter how neat it is, be compared with a large royal palace like Mingdao Palace? Therefore, even as the censor Zhongcheng, he fell into the favor of the officials at a young age and had great control. The great power was only assigned to an elegant and quiet wing of the temple, which didn't even have a living room. Even so, the neighbors on the left and right were all bachelors, ministers, and censors, and many of them had their families. People... In this case, I am afraid that even if any minister snores at night, it will cause a dispute in the court.
In fact, Bachelor Xiao Han of Tobe was kicked into a corner early by several other bachelors who were too idle because he snored too loudly.
Back in front of him, Zhang Jun smelled a rare fragrance in the corridor before he entered. He shook his head and laughed. Then he opened the door and came in. Sure enough, he saw a pot of ginger on the table in his room. And my two good friends were also playing chess on the couch!
When one of the older men saw Zhang Jun arriving, he immediately lifted the chessboard, stood up and smiled: "If Deyuan (Zhang Jun) doesn't come, Ming Zhong and I will starve to death in front of this pot of Jiang Shilang!"
Jiang Shilang is another name for Jiang Xiang.
It should be noted that even though the commodity economy was more developed in the Song Dynasty, it was impossible to cope with the weather and there were few vegetables in winter. Ginger fermented soybean paste is a kind of meat jelly with ginger as the main ingredient. It repels cold and is delicious, so it is naturally a rare seasonal food in winter.
', it is also the best drink to go with wine. In the past, all the officials in Tokyo had eaten this food. As time went by, they used an allusion from the Five Dynasties to insinuate the nickname "Jiang Shilang".
Zhang Jun was also happy to see these two people, so he closed the door directly and sat down at the table without even saying hello. He reached out and squeezed a piece of aspic, and after eating, he said excitedly: "Unexpectedly, there is also ginger soy sauce today."
, it’s really rare!”
The two people looked at each other, and then sat down together. The younger one, Ming Zhong, took out a pot of wine from nowhere, took the initiative to help arrange the bowls and chopsticks, and then poured wine for the two of them.
The three of them sat down, but it was the younger Ming Zhong who spoke seriously: "Brother Deyuan doesn't know that since that day when the servant went to a distant market town to purchase and came back after encountering a barrel of ginger soybean, Yingzhou and Chenzhou have become
There was a rumor that officials loved to eat ginger soybean, so today Zhao Yuanxian, the magistrate of Chenzhou, came here to have an audience, so he specially brought several barrels, and many people got them! Just because Brother Yuanzhen has a large population, the younger brother brought his own
I gave that share to Brother Yuan Zhen’s wife at home, and then we all came to Brother De Yuan’s place to eat the meat together.”
Hearing this, Zhang Jun shook his head and laughed: "Let's not talk about this. I just want to say that the official family has a real reputation. It is quite similar to the way in the past when I persuaded my husband to like to eat venison."
As soon as this was said, the other two people also shook their heads and laughed.
It is said that the imperial chamberlain went out to do some shopping that day, and happened to meet a traveling merchant, so he bought a bucket of ginger soybeans. The result? The official only left one bowl for Concubine Pan Xian that night, and the remaining half of the bucket was given to Nobushige.
The officer shared half the bucket with the important officials in the court, but he didn't eat a bite himself... The place was small, and everyone knew it at once, but it spread to the outside world that officials still like to eat ginger soybean.
"The official is the Holy Emperor!" After laughing, Zhang Jun drank another drink in one gulp, but he became serious and sighed. "The wise kings of ancient times may not be like this."
"Who says it's not the case?" The older man also sighed. "This is an authentic way of undressing and pushing food. What's even more rare is giving everything you have in times of adversity... It's a shame that there are still people who are not satisfied."
Zhang Jun's heart moved slightly, but he took a piece of frozen meat into his mouth, drank another cup before raising his head, and then pointed his finger in the direction of the central hall, asking, "Who is Brother Zhao talking about?"
"Who else could there be?" Brother Zhao, also known as Zhao Ding and Zhao Yuanzhen, shook his head again and sneered after hearing this. "As a minister, I don't have the courtesy of a minister. I don't think the officials themselves would use it at that time. This Jiang Xiandi
He gave one to him, but when he found out, he instead reprimanded the officials for traveling privately to the market, causing any disturbance to the people? The officials were obviously afraid of disturbing the people, so they did not go to the market at all. Even Yang and Liu
Every favorite general in front of an official was reprimanded, and Yang Yizhong was even demoted to one rank... It is said that several people who lived close to him that day, such as Lu Xianggong, Yu Wenshi and others, quickly
I gave the ginger soy sauce to my subordinates for fear of getting into trouble, but when he returned, he and his son were enjoying themselves."
Zhang Jun also shook his head when he heard this, but said slowly: "It doesn't matter, these are all trivial matters... Moreover, after the official fell into trouble, everyone knew that they believed in Li Xianggong's wishes, otherwise Li Xianggong wouldn't be allowed to do everything.
Disposed of in the nave."
"I understand." Zhao Ding also responded sternly. "The overall situation does require him to be cautious. But let's see, in March and May, when Nanyang is settled and transferred to Luoyang, if he still treats His Majesty like this, I will definitely be cruel to your face.
Impeach him severely."
Zhang Jun nodded repeatedly, as if he still agreed with the other party's views.
The young man next to him, Hu Yin and Hu Mingzhong, didn't care about these topics at all. After pouring the wine, he poured it for himself and ate half a bowl of frozen meat.
By the way, Zhao Ding is forty-three years old this year, his elder Zhang Jun is twelve years old, his elder Hu Yin and Hu Mingzhong are thirteen years old, and one is from Shanxi, one is from Sichuan, and the other is from Fujian. They have different qualifications, different ages, and different official positions.
, with different birthplaces, was originally someone who could not be found in eight poles. If we were in Tokyo in the past, if we wanted to have a drink together, we would have to have a grand banquet at the imperial court.
However, things are unpredictable, these three people are now friends of life and death...really friends of life and death!
Thinking about the Jingkang Incident and the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, these three people, plus Song Qiyu, the admonishing official who was killed by Li Gang, were afraid of death or kept their integrity in order to survive. In short, they fled to Taixue together, and they abandoned Zhang Bangchang and took the initiative.
Go to Zhao Guan's house.
According to conspiracy theories, these people have actually formed a small political group with extraordinary potential.
However, although this small group is a life-and-death acquaintance and extremely reliable, it obviously lacks a leader and lacks organization (otherwise Song Qiyu would not have killed him), and everyone has different political opinions... For example, Zhao
Ding also wanted to fight against the Jin Dynasty, but he believed that the internal situation should be stabilized first before recovery. As the saying goes, to fight against foreigners, one must first stabilize the internal situation; while Hu Yin was much more fierce. He believed that today's emperor should not even ascend the throne, so he should
It’s time to head north to welcome back the Second Saint. As for Zhang Jun, it’s a bit hard to say, but there are people who are vaguely mocking him, saying that he is offering the service with a false intention, and only makes strategies based on guessing the official’s intentions!
Of course, in general, the same experience in Tokyo finally made them realize the barbarism and cunning of the Jin people, so they probably set up a common banner of no peace and a determination to resist the Jin!
Then, because of the generally low official status in the past, there was an added layer of selfishness that wanted to support each other to get higher positions.
In fact, Zhang Jun was able to successfully ascend to power that day because of the cooperation of the three of them... After Zhao Jiu made the decree, the three people who had already been suspicious had made arrangements. Among them, Zhao Ding used mature and prudent words, and Zhang Jun criticized
Li Gang's words and Hu Yin's theory of persuading the emperor to cross the river to welcome back the two saints worked together.
In the end, after Zhang Jun won the bet, Zhang Deyuan did not forget his two good brothers. Zhao Ding was immediately recommended as the imperial censor from the position of Quanhubu Yuanwailang, and Hu Yin was also recommended as the official of Zhongshushe from the living room.
.It is a good place for nobles and nobles, and where you can get in touch with officials on a daily basis!
Obviously, now that the situation has come to a standstill, Zhao Ding, the oldest among them, is a little impatient. Only Zhang Jun has won the emperor's heart now and knows that Li Gang cannot be easily shaken, so he comforted him a little.
It was said that the journey was simple. After using up a pot of ginger fermentation and eating two bowls of hot rice with condiments and daily winter vegetables, I was already full. Immediately, one of the three, Zhao Ding, who was from Hedong, fled with his whole family.
The family members had to go back to the tents outside to take care of their families, so Hu Yinze simply stayed and prepared to sleep with Zhang Jun.
However, just as the three of them were about to stand up and say goodbye, they suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then saw the firelight in the outer military camp in the distance, and several torches coming at high speed, as if there were sentries and messengers regardless of the night.
He galloped his horse in the camp, alarming some officials and their families.
The three of them looked at each other and said nothing, but rushed to the middle hall together... But while still on the way, they heard the exact news:
The main force of the Jin army suddenly appeared in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. The vanguard, Wanyan Zongbi, was Wanyan Wushu, the fourth prince of the Jin army, with more than 50,000 troops. They had crossed the river and pointed directly at Jingdong East Road! From Liangshanbo to the east, the entire line along the Yellow River was in emergency!
"The officials guessed it right, Jin Wushu is really here!" In a daze and shock, Zhang Jun instinctively thought of the reminder Zhao Jiu sent to Zongze when he was in Mingdao Palace.
ps: I'd like to apologize in advance. I slept so hard today that it was past two o'clock in the afternoon when I opened my eyes.
And thanks to the editor, it was such a great recommendation, and thanks to the website, I also received the New Year gift package, and it actually came with a pair of golden chopsticks and a bowl... The only thing for sure is that this thing looks like gold, but it is definitely
