Chapter 266 Too cruel
But Liu Qing somewhat destroyed some of Lingnan's plans.
In order to save his life, Liu Kuang became more and more shameless, and used pearls to carve saddles and riddle horses to play with dragons and presented them to Zhao Kuangyin. This was the Song Dynasty. The status of craftsmen was still very low. Most scholars and officials were ashamed of cooking, and it was also a craftsmanship. Song Jiu was also a craftsmanship, but it could not be regarded as a craftsmanship. Liu Kuangyin was not only a craftsmanship, but also a real craftsmanship. Think about his identity. Zhao Kuangyin gave his craftsmanship a pearl saddle to the dragon to show to the craftsmanship officials. Because of his ingenuity, the craftsmanship officials looked at it and asked who was woven. It was so amazing. Zhao Kuangyin shook his head. The things knitted by a monarch actually scared all the craftsmen to such an extent, and he took 1,500 pieces of money to pay for their value. He also said: "Liu Kuang was good at craftsmanship. With a false king, wouldn't the people of the country be used to being able to achieve their nature? If they were moved to govern the country, how could they perish!"
All the ministers said that, and Chu Zhaofu also said, "Yes, the same engineering and craftsmanship are different."
At this time, he missed Song Jiu very much. With Song Jiu in the Sanshi, he felt so comfortable. He had to eat tea and brag all day long, and he was OK. Now he was handed over to Judge Wang, so he had to work hard.
Liu Yu often gave poisonous wine to his ministers in China. After coming to the Song Dynasty, he was very obedient. He even arrived first in the morning or other banquets. One day, Zhao Kuangyin was lucky to talk about the martial arts pool. Before the official gathered, he was the first to come first. Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but feel funny when he saw this man's shamelessness. He was so happy that he gave him a glass of wine.
Liu Feng was suspicious and raised his wine glass to cry, saying, "I inherited my grandfather's foundation and refused to violate the court. The king's army was punished by the crime. His Majesty did not kill me. Now that he saw peace in the world, I am willing to be a commoner. With the grace of His Majesty, I dare not drink this wine."
In fact, part of it is because he did too many bad things. He is guilty, and part of it is because of Meng Chang's death.
Zhao Kuangyin laughed and said happily: "I am impressed by others. How can this happen?"
He took the wine glass and drank it in one sip. Then he checked the wine for him. Liu Qing Dajian. But with such a king, what kind of ministers would there be? Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin became suspicious.
After this incident, Zhao Kuangyin issued another edict, which was not possible after being selected by Lingnan. The fake officials who were retained must write a book plan. Those who were given a good judge of the book should be given a superior assistant, a ruling, and a ruling wei. The superior assistant is the prefectures of each state, the ruling qualifier is the county magistrate and the military officer of the reign of the military office. Bo Wei is the county magistrate Bo and the county qualifier. That is, after Lingnan is gradually selected and eliminated, he must read the book plan by the court before he can be retained as a formal official.
Lingnan is gradually moving on track.
But it cannot be called the right track. The main reason why the Song Dynasty could bring people back was the eastern region. As Yan Tong said, the western region had a weak influence, including Song Jiu's trip to Yongzhou. The people were just curious and did not express any welcome.
Just stop moving, if you move, you will inevitably hurt the interests of some people.
Especially in the past few months, many officials from the Southern Han Dynasty, including Deng Cunzhong, the former governor of Guangzhou. The officials were mostly eunuchs. Deng Cunzhong was also an eunuch, and he was not convinced. Then he used his influence in Yongzhou to instigate the familiar barbarians of Yongzhou and Rongzhou with Zhou Siqiong, Mai Hanqiong, Minister Le Fan and others. He instigated more than 20,000 barbarians to attack Yongzhou City. Moreover, this man was very clever. Before attacking, he blocked all roads together to prevent Guangzhou from getting news.
Then more than 20,000 troops attacked Yongzhou, but Fan Yu was not easy to mess with. He took the initiative to lead his army to fight, shot him in the chest with an arrow. Before he died, he still urged his subordinates to fight hard, defeat the rebels, and then promptly covered the people outside the city to enter the city. The local soldiers in his hands were too few, less than a thousand people, so he had no choice but to defend the city and sent envoys to rescue him in Guangzhou.
Fifteen envoys were sent to Guangzhou before and after, the news was sent to Guangzhou. Lingnan was too large and sparsely populated. Deng Cunzhong blocked the road. Guangzhou only learned after a few days. But there were more than 20,000 barbarian soldiers, and they had to concentrate their troops and prepare for logistics.
Originally, the officials in Guangzhou were busy, which made the chaos even more. Yin Chongke was furious and said, "I'll go to the siege myself."
Zhao Kuangyin also heard about this in the capital and sent the envoy Li Shenyou to supervise the battle.
By the time Yin Chongke led his army to come, Yongzhou had been besieged for more than 70 days. Yin Chongke didn't have much troops, but the main reason was that there was no cooperation between the people. Although Deng Cunzhong had many soldiers, he was still a brave barbarian soldier, and he could not make the difference. He was quickly defeated by Yin Chongke, and Ji Jiehou was just right to kill Ji and Hou. Yin Chongke led his army to chase and suppress them, including these Han officials, and some unruly barbarian troops, and they also attacked with their troops and destroyed them one by one. This rebellion gave Pan Mei-Song Jiu a great opportunity.
Yan Tong said that Qinjiang was not easy to deal with at this time. Most of them were barbarians, and there were very few Han people, so they dared not develop them, for fear of civil rebellion. This time, the rebellion was suppressed, just extending the remaining power to the Leizhou Peninsula and the Qinjiang Delta. But the barbarians were still the number one problem in Guangnan. This time they took the initiative to rebel. If they did not take the initiative, they could not fight. They were afraid of arousing the barbarians to rebel together, and they would not be able to coax them. The more they coaxed, the more arrogant they became.
This is the matter of Lingnan officials.
The court did not care much. So many troops in the Southern Han Dynasty were destroyed, and there were several small barbarians who only issued an edict to recall Fan Yu, who was admitted to the capital to recuperate. In order to commend the civilians, they asked the civilians to carry Fan Yu back with their shoulders.
Moreover, this year was a turbulent autumn of the Song Dynasty.
First, the Yellow River was determined by Zhengzhou Yuanwu County, and a land of hundreds of miles suddenly became a vast ocean.
The Yellow River was so annoying that the Bian River came to join in the fun again. Then the Bian River was determined by Gushu County, Songzhou. Gushu County was broken into the mouth, and Songcheng County was broken into the river. The entire Songzhou submerged half of the families. Songzhou was Yingtian Prefecture, which was one of the most important areas of the Song Dynasty and one of the important commercial and economic grain areas, with tens of thousands of households.
How much harm will be caused by two river breaks?
Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to issue an edict to relieve the victims, not only thousands of households, but tens of thousands of households. When Chu Zhaofu heard these news, his hair turned gray.
But the crisis has not yet been resolved.
In September, the autumn rain was still endless, and the water of the Yellow River rose higher and higher. Another incident happened. The Yellow River broke its dam from Chanzhou and went east to Yunpu. From Chanzhou to Henan to Yunzhou, countless people in the three states of Puzhou were flooded and countless people were flooded.
Compared to the two major river breaks in the Northern Song Dynasty, these accidents are nothing.
But then a story happened.
Two years ago, the judge of Kaifeng, Yao Shu, visited Zhao Pu for affairs, and Zhao Pu was just inviting guests. Everyone knew about the dispute between the two Zhaos. His concierge knew even more and knew several of Zhao Kuangyi’s confidants, including Yao Shu. This person was a capable general in the hands of Zhao Kuangyi.
Love the house and hate the house and the house and the house also. The concierge sneered and ignored him. Zhao Pu was ashamed of insulting him, but a small concierge came to insult him. Yao Shu was so angry that he left and then reported. After hearing this, Zhao Pu immediately sent someone to apologize. This dispute was also placed below. On the surface, it cannot be done too much. After all, he is the judge of Kaifeng and the general officer. If even his concierge goes up and slapped his concierge in the face, it would be a bit bad if it is spread.
The servant chased after him. It would be fine if Zhao Pu chased him. The servant was not very sincere in his speech. Yao Shu was even more angry. If you ignore me, I would ignore you. Yang Chang left. Zhao Pu was furious. Giving you face, you have to be more aware of him. Can you not kill Zhao Kuangyi? Just as the court asked Du Shenzhao to be the governor of Chanzhou and chose Chanzhou to be the chief judge, Zhao Pu said: "Your Majesty. You can let Kaifeng judge Yao Shu go."
When Zhao Kuangyi heard that it was not good, he could still protect himself in the capital. If he put it in the local area, he would become the second Feng Zan. Therefore, he opposed it. The opposition was invalid. He asked Zhao Kuangyin to send him to Chanzhou.
Zhao Kuangyi secretly reminded you to be careful when you go down. No one else can believe it, otherwise you will end up badly. Yao Shu followed Zhao Kuangyi's advice, so he was very careful below. Zhao Pu was helpless if he couldn't catch the handle and was safe for more than a year.
Because of the continuous disasters in recent years, Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict, saying that if there is any disaster, it must be reported to the court and it is easy to deal with it in time. The Yellow River depends on Chanzhou. It may be because Yao Shu himself was not careful, or it may be that the disasters in not only Chanzhou, but also Yunpu are also in the two prefectures. They cannot be counted for the time being and have not been reported in time.
If the former must be dealt with, if the latter is willing to do so.
The court knew that it was not reflected, but because of Yao Shu, everything was different. Zhao Pu said the edict and instigated him a few words. Zhao Kuangyin did not expect anything else, including his uncle Du Shenzhao. So he was very unhappy and sent the ministers to deal with the inquiry.
After the Central Envoy went down, he said that his crime was serious, so he dismissed Du Shenzhao and returned to his private residence, and Yao Shu was abandoned. The edict was issued by Zhao Kuangyin, and many officials have been executed in recent years. For example, this year, the General Youqianniuwei was in prison for embezzlement and bribery in Chenzhou Cang and was executed. However, according to the procedures, officials also had an opportunity to appeal. If it was justified, they could be let go. Sometimes Zhao Kuangyin even summoned these officials to the atrium to question.
If that were the case, Yao Shu would not have died.
He is a capable general under Zhao Kuangyi. Zhao Kuangyi will definitely rescue him and will not be considered dead. If he is executed due to work mistakes, how many officials would have to be executed in a year in the Song Dynasty? Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to do this.
The punishment cannot be escaped. Even the old uncle was dismissed from the official position. Besides, Yao Shu was at most exiled to Shamen Island.
The Central Envoy continued, but he refused to do so. He said he had abandoned the market. Yao Shu was dissatisfied. He could just let the guards throw Yao Shu into the Yellow River. This is the real death without any worries.
A few days later, an ordinary person saw an official wearing a red court uniform in the mud in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. He was frightened and reported to the government, and then he salvaged Yao Shu's body.
After hearing this, the Yao family burst into tears.
Then he went to Kaifeng Prefecture. Zhao Kuangyi sighed when he heard this, gave the Yao family some money, and then remained silent.
This is a dignified fifth-rank official. There are only a hundred actual officials above the fifth-rank official in the Song Dynasty, including military generals. They were killed if they were killed. The only reason was that they ignored Zhao Pu’s apology.
Look at Zhao Kuangyi's cowardice.
Song Jiu was not afraid of death in Bashu, and forced Wang Quanbin to make a bet with him. In the prefecture, Yang Ye's wife held her knife on her neck without frowning. The uncle of the three-double king Wang Jixun, but when he looked at the Song family, he pressed him a little, even if the emperor inserted a ten-six halberd in front of him, he still obediently handed over the Liuli technology.
Then look at the Chanzhou case. Zhao Kuangyin's uncle Du Shenzhao was later reinstated as General of the Guard, but Zhao Kuangyin asked him to retire. Who is more important than Wang Jixun or Du Shenzhao?
The news spread, from the capital to all officials in various prefectures and counties were speechless.
It was not until this time that Zhao Pu reached the peak of his life's rights. As soon as his letter was released, officials rushed to complete it. When Zhao Kuangyin's edict came out, officials might not be able to work hard, but many brave officials disobeyed the situation.
After hearing this at home, Yuping held her son and covered her chest and said, "Baby, my mother is still smart. She didn't listen to the officials. She only brought up the dock, did not lift the bridge, and did not buy land. Otherwise, my family would be in trouble."
