Shao Shude patrolled slowly and finally arrived in Changping County on August 28.
There is a garrison here, which is the left wing of the Tielin Army that has just withdrawn from behind the mountain, in order to reduce the local supply pressure.
The construction of the Changxia Palace has come to an end and will be completed in September. Then comes the interior decoration and exterior landscaping, which can be done slowly.
On the 30th, Liu Cungui, Liu Shoujing and his son from Changping arrived at Changping Tang to wait for their audience. At that time, Shao Shude was meeting with Zhong Xixian, Chong Jushuang and his son, and Ju Shuang's son Yanyou, who were about to go to Yingzhou.
Chu Shenping made the tea with his own hands and served it. Zhong took it naturally and poured tea for everyone.
Chu Shenping paid more attention to Zhong Yanyou. He was a real colleague. He was in the same team as his new disciple Shen Fan. They were the captain of one team and the deputy of the other team.
Zhong's movements of pouring tea were as smooth as water, and he was obviously used to doing this kind of thing. He also looked focused, as if he could find some great fun in simple things.
This woman is relatively simple and has no special desires. If you have to compare it, she is almost the same as Xiu Rong Chen, but there are some differences: Shao Shude can already write and practice calligraphy on Chen, and Chen can only use He looked at him with angry eyes, but Zhong was too traditional and only accepted normal body positions. Shao Shude wanted to do some fancy things, but Zhong didn't cooperate at all and just kept crying.
It was the first time that Shao Shude got such a novel "toy", and he couldn't bear to force Mr. Zhong. He half-coaxed and half-deceived him all the way, thinking about some magic trick that could make the daughter of a great scholar like Mr. Zhong instantly break through his defenses.
At the same time, I also felt very emotional: The emperor paid a private visit incognito and was able to actually collect wild flowers. The TV series did not lie to me!
Zhong Jingxian was about fifty or sixty years old. He once served as the governor of Weizhou and was given to Situ by the imperial court.
Shao Shude asked someone to find out more about it, and found out that Zhong Jinxian might have been young and vigorous at the time, and had the ambition to bring peace to the people and help the world. When he was appointed as the governor of Weizhou, he "pulled out the weeds and suppressed the strong clan". In simple terms, he meant to restrain the powerful and eradicate the violence and bring peace to the good.
The effect of his governance was also very good, reaching the state of "removing the pearls and returning them to the old Pudong", and made a huge contribution to the recovery of the social economy.
But what kind of place is Weizhou? Who are the local powerful people in Weizhou? Either Weibo Military Academy or people related to them. If you attack them, can you get good results? So he only worked for a few years and was forced to step down. Already.
To be honest, if the old Situ hadn't been very famous and had so many people interceding on his behalf, he would have been hacked to death. It was a blessing among misfortunes that he landed safely.
After Lao Zhong stepped down, he ran away to the border of Henghai navy. After learning from the painful experience, he strictly required his son Zhong Jushuang's studies, and at the same time urged him to practice martial arts and learn military strategy.
Like many gentry families in Hebei, Chongju Shuangyunwen and Yunwu once served as General Wei of the Left Army and commander of the Cangzhou Horse Infantry Army. Later he was transferred to the governor of Dezhou, and was awarded the title of Taibao by the imperial court.
However, he was not a direct descendant of Lu Yanwei, and he hated him so much that he did not even serve a full term as governor, and he resigned like Lao Zhong.
Well, the political power is gone, and the military power is gone. I can only go home to study, teach my children, and make ends meet.
Shao Shude has always suspected that they are the ancestors of the Zhong family in the Northern Song Dynasty, because Zhong Zhongxian and Zhong Jushuang's father and son were originally from Luoyang, but there is no direct evidence.
After the Zhong family and his son lived in the countryside to farm and study, Zhao Dejun came to Cangjing with the army and fell in love with the outstanding appearance of the Zhong family at a glance. Of course, if he only coveted the appearance and figure, Zhao Dejun would not be like this. The main thing is the Zhong family's temperament and identity.
Unusually, Zhao Dejun stalked him, and in the end he even kidnapped people and asked Zhao Siwen, the elder of the clan, to hire him.
Historically, Zhao Dejun succeeded. The Zhong family married him and kept the house in good order. She "recommended internal help" and was granted the title of Lady of Henan County, Lady of Zheng State, Lady of Yan State, and Lady of Qin State.
They gave birth to two sons, Zhao Dejun’s second son Zhao Yanmi and third son Zhao Yanxi. Zhao Dejun’s eldest son Yanshou was adopted.
Zhao Yanmi once served as the military governor of Heyang and the Taiwei of the Liao Kingdom. Zhao Yanxi died young and only became the general of the left prison guard. His grandchildren were also various military governors and generals of the Liao Kingdom, and they were extremely wealthy.
There was also a daughter who was married to Liu Min, the Grand Master and Prime Minister of the Liao Kingdom, who was born in the Liu family of Changping.
"Your Majesty trusts me, and I am very grateful. But I really don't know what kind of world your Majesty wants." Zhong Jingxian is not young, but he is still very angry. I just heard him say: "A warrior is in charge of the country? A noble family is in charge? Or is it?
What else?"
"Looking at it from the perspective of Mr. Zhong, what is missing in the world now?" Shao Shude asked.
Zhong Jingxian said without hesitation: "What is missing is the heart of awe. The etiquette has collapsed, the moral code has been ruined, and the warriors kill generals and rebels at every turn, without caring. They don't care what the world will become, they only care about their own selfishness."
.If this continues, the world will not be in chaos for a while, and I don’t think it will be stable.”
Having said this, he glanced at Shao Shude again and said: "Thanks to your Majesty's martial prowess, he has succeeded in hundreds of battles, and the dawn of world unification has begun. I have also watched your Majesty's administrative measures, and I am generally on the right track, but I seem to be hesitant?"
Shao Shude was moved in his heart and asked, "Master Zhong, why don't you tell me in detail."
"Your Majesty wants to suppress the warriors, but is worried about suppressing them too much. He hesitates in his heart. If he puts it into practice, he is contradicting himself, right?" Zhong Jingxian asked.
Shao Shude was silent.
"Your Majesty already has a plan in mind, why are you still hesitant?" Zhong Jingxian asked: "Guangxing Education, Your Majesty has already implemented it in Guanzhong, Guanbei, Hexi, and Longyou. Dangxiang and Tubo are a little bit more ferocious.
However, Henan and Huaihai are slow to move, why? The people of Shenguang, Cai, Tang and Deng states are barbaric, so how are they different from the barbarians? Why not promote famous religions and enlighten the world?"
Shao Shude had to admit that Immortal Zhong was very accurate and spoke to his mind, so he asked: "How to prevent overcorrection?"
"It's an overstatement - it's hard not to correct it," Zhongzhixian replied.
Shao Shude sighed secretly.
Isn’t this just a case of death when caught and chaos when released? Is there really no intermediate state?
"Your Majesty, even if you do nothing." Zhong Jingxian said again: "The second-generation king is highly popular, has outstanding military strategies and martial arts, and can suppress those warriors and eliminate the hostility in their hearts.
After several generations, it will still be the same sooner or later. The Anshi Rebellion is only over a hundred years old. When 150,000 rebels entered Henan, the people of Henan had not heard of war for more than a hundred years. They collapsed at the first touch and were no match for the rebels. Your Majesty, what do you do or not do?
No matter what you do, the outcome is actually the same, it just comes sooner or later."
Damn it! Shao Shude was so embarrassed by what he said.
However, he also understood the meaning of cultivating immortals. In the former Tang Dynasty, there was no tradition of using civil servants to control military forces. They only left generals and prime ministers to do other things. But in the last years of Tianbao, when the rebels entered Henan, the local people had been at peace for more than a hundred years.
, had no ability to resist and allowed the rebels to advance straight in.
The one who really stopped the rebels and gave Datang a sigh of relief was actually King Qin's border town warriors.
Peace has lasted for a long time. No matter what system you have, the results may be slightly different, but the essence is the same. I am not saying this in a mocking way. This kind of thing can only rely on the wisdom of future generations.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about this later." Shao Shude waved his hand, skipped the topic, and said, "Are you sure that Mr. Zhong will assassinate Yingzhou? There are countless vicious people in that place, which is no different from Huaixi.
I hope that you will go over to teach others and dispel their hostility, but I also don’t want anything to happen."
"With Master Wang stationed here, it is expected that there will be no serious problems." Immortal Zhong Jing said nonchalantly: "I am old, as long as I can educate the people well, why would I want to die?"
Shao Shude was suffocated. Unexpectedly, the old man was so stubborn that he ignored life and death. Although the two parties did not particularly agree on some concepts, it did not affect Shao Shude's appreciation of Zhong Jingxian's kindness and integrity.
Mr. Zhong glanced at Shao Shude quietly, his bookish face full of worry.
"Let's do this..." Shao Shude pondered for a moment and said, "It's nice to live here."
"I'm here," replied Shuang Jushuang, the former commander of the Ma Bu Army in Cangzhou, the governor of Dezhou, and the current Sima Zhongju of Yingzhou.
His temperament is a little different from that of the old man. After all, he has been a martial artist for many years. Although he has been opening a school to teach apprentices and teach classics in recent years, his elegant temperament is mixed with a little killing and majesty. The difference is that
no the same.
"You can also serve as the commander of the state army. There are 4,000 infantry troops and 1,000 cavalry troops, all of which are organized by Qing Zhong." Shao Shude said.
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Zhong hadn't done anything yet, but Lao Zhong refused: "This is not in line with the system! The governor has taken charge of the people of a state, and Sima is the second attachment to the governor. He is responsible for organizing all affairs, passing judgment on the rank of Cao, and commanding the troops. So, then
The whole of Yingzhou is under the control of my father and son, so where is the majesty of the imperial court? Please take back your order."
Shao Shude was quite emotional when he heard this and said: "If there are people like Zhong Qing in the world, how can there be so many things? Let's do this. I will transfer the troops of Li Siben to be in charge of Yingzhou. In addition, Ruzhou is newly established and the officials are not ready yet.
The position of governor is even more vacant. Xiaozhong Sima will be transferred to the governor of Ruzhou."
"I would like to thank you for your kindness." Zhong Jushuang thanked him immediately.
After thanking him, he glanced at the eldest daughter without leaving a trace, with a look of shame on his face. The father could not protect his daughter, so he was first forced by Zhao Dejun, and the betrothal gift was already given, and his daughter was about to become Zhao's wife, and then she was raped by the saint again.
snatch away.
Extremely ashamed!
The old man opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out.
In this cruel world, idealists can hardly hold on to their beliefs. Sometimes they have to make some appropriate compromises, not to mention that this is something that is of great benefit to the Zhong family - one school and two governors, which is rare in the country.
"Ru, you can choose the officials of the two prefectures, just report to them." Shao Shude said again.
In fact, this is not in line with the rules. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a benefit given by the emperor to bribe the scholars in Hebei. Let them keep their mouths shut and stop fooling around.
The historians are currently writing the "Records of Jinshang". This requires visiting various places to select materials for compilation. If the hack is too severe, even if the historians delete some content and do not include it in the book, it is inevitable that it will not be included.
Less is not good.
"Let Liu Cungui, Liu Shoujing and his son come in." Shao Shude finished drinking half a bowl of tea and said to Pugu Cheng'en.
Pugu Chengen took the order and left.
Zhong Jinxian, Zhong Jushuang and his son looked at each other and actually didn't let them leave.
