There are you in the world (48)

There are also several political orders against the Southern Song Dynasty that the Fourth Master and Tongtong communicated with each other.

Originally, the queen was going to have a limited spending method and it caused a stir in the Southern Song Dynasty. The local stones in the New Song Dynasty were almost sold at the price of jade... The merchants had such a sensitive sense of smell, and they had long smelled the business opportunities inside. Many merchants who wanted to make a small profit, even if they were walking around the streets, wanted to collect some things that were not much, but they looked really strange.

Therefore, the birthday of the queen of Xinsong became the hottest topic of conversation after dinner during the Southern Song Dynasty.

"Sensational!" Empress Dowager Yang also heard it in the palace and smiled coldly. After laughing, she couldn't help but feel shocked: Xinsong doesn't just want to have a birthday, it's obviously a signal to spread out through birthdays.

Whether the court in Xinsong was honest or not can be seen clearly with just this matter.

Empress Dowager Yang sighed softly, how could the Southern Song Dynasty do this? The Southern Song Dynasty was rich, and the country was rich. Where can we not collect taxes? The places that could be reduced and exempted every year were really limited. Even if we were really affected, the people below would not report it for political achievements. The court only turned a blind eye to the court and pretended that there was no such thing. But the new Song Dynasty was different. If the natural disaster was reported in time and the handling was done properly, it would be much faster to make contributions than the Taiping official.

No one paid attention to these things before. When it comes to Xinsong, they often treat Jin people preferentially. But now this birthday has caused so many stories. As long as someone talks about them, these topics will inevitably be laid out. First, compare the birthday gifts for birthday celebrations, and then compare the officials to compare the harem.

Nowadays, the official family is not a fool, but this big thing still has to be paid attention to. Especially when the empress dowager celebrates her birthday, it is because she is not a son that the official family becomes more and more serious. The birthdays of the young and young birthdays are treated as serious things to show his filial piety. This is nothing, and the court officials know it well. But now, when this matter comes out, compared with the two sides, this birthday show, which is often praised for the mother, the filial piety of the son, has become an extravagant waste.

She had heard of it before that in some places, in order to send birthday gifts to the empress dowager, there were taxes. No one distributed as much money or food as possible, just to celebrate the empress dowager's birthday.

Now that this is spreading, you can think of any public grievance.

Of course, it is not just a sin to celebrate her birthday, but also to the official family. The restoration of the palace, rewarding her concubines and princesses with gardens, etc., are all sins.

The official family there is a wife who has never adopted two colors since its founding. But here, the queen became a clay Buddha placed in the temple, but she made exceptions for the imperial concubine.

After comparing this, the official family, which was nothing wrong with it, has become a good person, a luxurious person.

The public grievances have arisen. Before we can react to how to guide us, several bombs were thrown over.

Scholars had argued before, but they were a little dissatisfied with Xinsong. As a result, they were given tribute and scholars from both north and south treated equally. Those who had taken the exam many times in the Southern Song Dynasty and had no progress... could not move around. Even those who didn't want to go, it was hard to say that they were bad now. After all, no one knew whether these classmates could not see the future of the Southern Song Dynasty, but were preparing to go to Xinsong. Those who offend people would not do such things. At least, there were fewer people who attacked Xinsong.

Then, the children of poor families who were not studying were happy. They had military ranks when they joined the army and were paid. The salary was enough to support their families, so why not go? Some villages gathered the children of each family based on a village or a tribe, so they could take good care of them on the road. After they got there, whoever could get into the exam would go, and those who couldn't get into the exam would come back. This would also make people feel at ease.

Even for families like Yang Cishan, there are many boys in the Yang family who are unwilling to suffer the hard life of this mountain. They all think that only Yang Cishan is prominent in the court, but other tribesmen are unwilling to pull them away. They also set rules that they are not allowed to be officials in the court. Generation after generation, how can they be at ease?

Therefore, the children contacted each other privately, and some even secretly told the adults that they also hid Yang Cishan. After the person left, Yang Cishan also realized that. At this time, he was on the way to visit the royal family. After receiving the letter, he read it, it was just a matter, and he just sighed.

Instead, he asked the envoy who went to Xinsong, "Who is the official going to send? Is there any news?"

The visitor only shook his head: "... There was no news in the palace when he came... I just said that the official family had a beauty, and it had been several days since he had been on duty..."

Yang Cishan took the letter paper and slapped it on the table, humming softly but never saying anything again.

Xinsong, Long'er also sorted out the news that Fei Ge sent in: "...Concubine Jia is now sick and lingering, and the official treats her worse than before. The Xie family didn't know where to get a woman surnamed Yan. She looks beautiful and charming, and now she is quite favored..."

"Then I'll watch it some fun." Lin Yutong shook her head and chuckled: "Look at it!"

Isn't it just for people to watch the fun?

Empress Dowager Yang's cheeks began to swollen, but he couldn't even see the official family. Concubine Jia took three steps and came over to cry and told Yan's fault, because the official family summoned the princess to see the woman yesterday, and was placed in Concubine Yan's palace at night.

How can my mother bear this?

But what's the use of finding the Empress Dowager? Empress Dowager Yang would not be like the government because of this matter! When Concubine Jia had already provoked the government, her voice is far less than that in the past, so why bother with such a thing? She persuaded Concubine Jia to go back with kind words, but Concubine Jia was willing to rest.

When he saw her younger brother Jia Sidao, he said a lot of complaints.

Jia Sidao frowned: "Sister, why bother to make the officials unhappy for these matters? Why do you need to use a knife to kill someone?"

Concubine Jia was puzzled: "What's your idea?"

This sibling is extraordinary. The relationship between dependence on each other in the past is the most important thing for each other. My sister is worried about my younger brother, and my younger brother is also worried about my older sister. Not to mention my older sister, even if I only heard that I brought the princess to another woman, Jia Sidao was already angry.

So he said, "The woman was just a woman who was found from outside who could not understand clearly. She had only two appearances. If you were scheming, would your sister lose to her? No matter what else, my sister just do this..." He leaned over and muttered a few words, and then stopped talking.

Concubine Jia's face showed a hue-red look, and she nodded slightly.

The next day, Concubine Jia asked to see the emperor and knelt outside the hall. Now Zhao Yun's only bloodline, Princess Zhao Wei of Ruiguo was born by Concubine Jia, and their love could not be forgotten in a day or two. Thinking of her poor health, Zhao Yun had met him. He thought that it was because of his favor with Yan, but he did not expect that Concubine Jia not only did not make trouble, but instead said a lot of words praising Yan, and finally begged to enthrone Yan as Concubine.

Concubine Jia said that she was in poor health and could not serve the emperor, and she was always worried. Now that she saw Yan, she was really good, and she was willing to treat her sisters with her... When Yan came out, she even bowed first and called her "sister".

Zhao Yun felt that his life would be perfect if he could get a beautiful woman as considerate as Concubine Jia and a charming beauty as Concubine Yan.

He repaid his favor and asked Concubine Jia what reward he would like to give him.

What reward can Concubine Jia asks for? It’s just that his younger brother has no one to teach him, so he may be unable to become independent in the future. He asked the emperor for an errand and went out as an envoy to stroll around, saving trouble in the capital.

This was planned by the siblings and sisters, and they took a step back for a while and asked Concubine Yan to make a lot of effort.

What's wrong with this? I'm just given a title and a life of an envoy.

One decree after another, first enthrone the imperial concubine, and then give the imperial concubine Jia’s brothers’ titles and official positions. The censors and court officials have to advise. Now the public resentment is already boiling. Do you have to do such a thing now to stimulate the sensitive nerves of the people?

Such impeachment will have the effect. That is, Jia Sidao can be the deputy envoy, but the chief envoy will definitely not.

Who will go to the Lord?

Then Qiao Xingjian left. At this time, he was the left prime minister and was still acceptable to be an official.

But before leaving, another person was added, which was Ding Daquan.

"Ding Daquan... is not famous, but just a small county magistrate..." Long'er said to her father in the palace: "It was only after he took the path of Prime Minister Zheng Qingzhi's wife, and he was recommended by Zheng Qingzhi..."

The Fourth Master thought to himself, this is quite complete.

Now Ding Daquan is unknown, but he is a treacherous minister in the Southern Song Dynasty who is as famous as Jia Sidao. The two of them have been fighting openly and secretly for many years in the court, which shows that he can do it. This man is particularly greedy for money and lust. According to records, he asked a matchmaker to ask his son to marry a girl who is looking for others. The marriage was decided, but he saw the girl inadvertently and was shocked for a moment. Therefore, he didn't care about his son, and he directly wanted to take that girl as his concubine. He was so lustful that he had forgotten human relations, which shows his nature.

Long'er added: "This Ding Daquan had a close relationship with Dong Songchen, an eunuch in the Southern Song Palace."

Dong Songchen is Zhao Yun’s personal eunuch.

As soon as Long'er said, the Fourth Master met the person. I think he was also connected with the eunuch and loyal ministers. A person like him is not in the eyes of Zheng Qingzhi, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. But helpless, although Zheng Qingzhi was the prime minister, he was already old and no longer cared about the affairs. He occupied the position of prime minister, but the government affairs handled by the prime minister were all handled by his wife and eldest son. Because Zheng Qingzhi was originally one of the ministers who abolished the crown prince and supported Zhao Yun as the emperor with Shi Miyuan, Zhao Yun treated this person with special preference. His wife and son did not have the ability of the prime minister, but he held the power of the prime minister. For a time, bribery became a trend. Those who were good at ease only asked to come to the door, and there were few things that could not be done.

Long'er was a little angry when he got the list: "This is too disrespectful!"

What a big deal to do when the envoy is on an envoy? He made such a decision like a joke. Isn’t this taking Xinsong seriously?

The Fourth Master was not angry: the people who came are all future celebrities. It is difficult for these people to accomplish things, but it is easy for bad things. If you use them well, it may not be ineffective.

When the child left, the Fourth Master told Tongtong, who was confused, that there was something strange about who was who.

Tongtong reads history books and is really a reading. There are so many names in history. Do I remember who is who? The one who has the impression is Jia Sidao, but I really don’t know anything else. Now that the Fourth Master has made these people know about it, she feels that the Southern Song Dynasty is so hard to describe.

The Prime Minister's wife can actually hold the Prime Minister's authority to handle political affairs... Hahaha... the emperor in the palace doesn't care?

She really doesn't know what to evaluate except "hehe".

Lin Yutong originally thought it was ridiculous, but there were even more ridiculous things. Zhao Yun actually left the envoy and made another decision. What decision? His Concubine Yan wanted to build a Gongde Temple, but the official decided to use the national treasury and sent officials to various prefectures and counties to collect wood and build the Gongde Temple for him. For a moment, the whole country was in an uproar.

The news was faster than the envoy's legs. When the envoys arrived in Yanjing one after another, a poem and their feet also arrived in Yanjing.

"I don't plant Poria cocos for planting pine trees, but because the mountains are green all year round. The old monk is not allowed to move the pine trees, so I stay with the West Lake to paint the screen." Heng'er looked at the poem on the paper and sighed for a moment: "That official... seems to be a little confused!"

Just to build a temple for his concubine, he couldn't find a suitable beam and pillar, so he wanted to cut off the ancient Jin pine in front of Lingyin Temple. The monk Yuanzhao, the abbot of Lingyin Temple, wrote a poem, which was just a poem, but the impact was too bad.

He put down the paper and whispered: "The Southern Song Dynasty...the situation is over!"

But the situation is hopeless, and there is still the saying: the centipede worm will die without being stiff.

Therefore, we have to be in chaos from the inside to truly defeat him.

Qiao Xingjian is still good, but he is old. However, Jia Sidao and Ding Daquan are also easy to deal with.

The envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty came first. When they arrived in Yanjing, it happened to be a heavy snowfall. Those who were 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 after entering the Southern Song Pavilion prepared for them, all the complaints disappeared.

The house is as warm as spring, and flowers bloom. Even if the coachman who is following me is following, there is hot water in the house at any time, and you can take a bath by unscrewing it.

Qiao Xingjian was received by officials from the Ministry of Personnel and sent in for resettlement. As soon as the older person finished taking a shower, an imperial physician came over to take pulses and prescribe medicine for maintenance, which made people feel uncomfortable. The dishes were served on the table, half of which were what I liked for me and half of them, but they should have chosen the taste he liked. As soon as he saw this dish, his expression changed drastically.

The New Song Dynasty asked all the tastes of the court officials of the Southern Song Dynasty clearly, but so many people in the Southern Song Dynasty called Zhao Yan in the New Song Dynasty a silent forgetting zong, but who had ever seen Zhao Yan and knew what kind of person he was, what he liked and good at.

If you think about it carefully, you only know your age and experience, but don’t know anything else.

Everyone in the Southern Song Dynasty claimed that he had been transformed by barbarians, but the world governed by barbarians could hear the sound of reading everywhere along the way. Confucius, Mencius, Laozi and Zhuangzi were not limited to a certain school. 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 free to travel on the street. No one except his own foreigners showed curiosity. It can be seen that this is common.

This made him feel excited. Gao Chuang's soft sleeping soft sleeping that night still didn't have a good rest, but he was in a hurry to hand over the letter abroad, waiting for the meeting.

The Fourth Master didn't ask someone to wait. He took it here and invited someone there.

This time, two deputy envoys were not invited, but Qiao Xingjian was taken into the palace alone.

Qiao Xingjian felt a little uncomfortable when he entered the palace. Because the people walking in the palace did not look like eunuchs no matter how they looked like. It seemed that when they entered a wealthy family, they were all servants. Of course, these "meanors" were not ordinary servants. They only looked at their clothes and were divided into two categories. One was a strong suit and the other was a robe. The two types of people performed their own duties and did not interfere with each other.

After entering this way, the inner palace is the one.

In the inner palace, there were no men, but the ones who led the way were several women who looked particularly strong, but there was no shrinking of the women in the action, but instead 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 where people entertain the inner palace. As for the gardens in the palace, there are indeed some things that are fascinating. After turning the two palace gates, the back is not like a palace at all. You can see a lake from afar, but along the Hubo, except for the small roads, there are large fields. Even if it is covered with snow, it can be seen that it is indeed a field for growing crops. There are straw under the snow, and what is under the straw?

He was curious for a moment, so he stopped and squatted down, pulled open and looked at it. It turned out to be spinach, with very thick leaves. Perhaps because of the good protection, there were a slight trace of being frozen, but it didn't affect the taste.

He stood up, a little embarrassed. The woman who led the way did not care: "This was planted by the official family and the empress."

Qiao Xingjian said in his heart: He knows how to act.

The emperor personally cultivated silkworms, and the empress raised silkworms, which have developed into etiquette throughout the dynasties. But who has ever seen the emperor really cultivated the land, and the empress really raised silkworms?

He smiled without saying anything, reached out to grab a handful of clean snow, washed away the dust stained on his hands, and continued to move forward. The woman did not explain much and continued to lead the way in front.

This place doesn't look like a palace. It takes two miles to walk along the "country road" and then to the lake. A boy wearing a cloak stood by the lake, standing with a smile on his face.

The cloak is fox's fur, and it's not very valuable. Seeing that the child had no one around him, he thought to himself, he was afraid that this was a child who served him.

When the woman saw Henger, she stepped aside. Qiao Xingjian walked over. Seeing that he had no intention of politeness, Henger knew that he was afraid he had not recognized it. So she didn't say it out loud, and just smiled and said, "Please please, Prime Minister Qiao."

Follow the bent bridge to the island.

The island was full of fruit trees. Following the cleaned road, you saw the courtyard deep in the orchard. When you arrived at the door, there was just a small courtyard. It was covered in everything neatly. The free-range hens in front of the door were plucked in the snow to find food. Entering through the gate, bypassing the screen wall, going to the corridor, and leading to the main hall.

There was no one in the main hall, and she sat down. A beautiful girl with a beautiful face came out in her usual clothes and carried a teacup. "Prime Minister Qiao invites tea."

Qiao Xingjian couldn't help but look at the girl more often. Even the new favorite of the official family, Guifei Yan, was not as good as that. Seeing her behavior, she was noble and dignified. But looking at her clothes and jewelry, it seemed too simple. For a moment, he couldn't figure out the other party's identity.
To be continued...
