Sishui Pass is the famous Hulao Pass, which is connected to Songyue in the south and the Yellow River in the north. The mountains and rivers are intertwined, making it a natural danger. It has the momentum of "one man is the pass, and ten thousand man cannot open it", and it is a place that military strategists in all dynasties must fight for.

This is the place where Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty Li Shimin captured the two kings in a battle to lay the foundation for the Tang Dynasty. The Luoyang Basin behind him is still the key to the world. The so-called living in China and preside over the world is the location of the Xijing of the Song Dynasty. Although Jingkang was slaughtered several times after it, almost turned into a white land, and even the prime minister burned himself here, after all, it has been six or seven years and has also raised some popularity. This can be seen from the officials of the Song Dynasty who stood in turn after Zhao Jiu got off the ship and the followers around him. Looking out from the river, I saw that there was also a bustling hustle in Sishui Town. I guess Luoyang City would only be better, and maybe it was already full of vitality.

And here has other meanings for Zhao Jiu. The Battle of Yaoshan, the Battle of Destroying Xia and the final Northern Expedition were all the first stops here.

In a daze, he didn't even hear what Li Wei said. When he received Yang Yizhong's wink, he quickly flashed out Li Xiuzhi behind him and said dryly: "This time I have brought my nephews to Li Dayin. The Li Gongxiang family not only has brothers who have been ministers one after another, but also have Jiahe on behalf of him. I feel very comforted."

The conscience of heaven and earth. Zhao Jiu's words really praise the Li Gang family's culture inheritance, but he has become more sarcastic and notorious in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. Li Wei knew that although his elder brother made some mistakes, he was a well-deserved Ming minister. Although he and his younger brother were also Jinshi, who didn't know that it was because Li Gang was promoted all the way, so he couldn't help but feel ashamed. The official family didn't dare to say anything, so he had to sternly scold Li Xiuzhi for half a quarter of an hour regardless of the occasion.

The Zhao Guan family was stunned, but Li Xiuzhi seemed to be fine, lowered his head and said without refuting it. Seeing his uncle paused, he said, "Uncle Yan Xun, my nephew has benefited a lot. But at this time, it is better to welcome the sage, or should His Majesty enter the carriage and enter Luoyang first?"

Hu Hong, the promotion officer of Henan Prefecture, had long been disliked by this boss, and said directly: "It's extreme, it's extreme, the word "loyalty and filial piety" is what comes before and what comes behind. I think this little Li's servant understands much more than some people."

Li Wei was almost unable to hold on to his face by his subordinates, but he did not dare to really neglect the official family. So he took Luoyang officials to invite the official family to the dragon chariot, and the group went to the main city of Luoyang in a mighty manner.

At this time, Yang Yizhong and Liu Yan naturally rode horses to protect both sides. Apart from Li Xiuzhi and Zhao Ziwei, who could only survey the river channel and calculate the silt, was only Feng Yi serving him. He thought it was hard to ask Li Xiuzhi about this matter, so he turned his head and said, "I remember that Hu Hong was sent to the army of Henan Prefecture Cao in the seventh year of Jianyan. Last year, he was promoted to the fifth-rank promotion officer. Why..." He was still so naughty.

Poor Feng Yi was dumbfounded when asked. Although the officials were gentle and easy to serve the people around him, the responsibilities of the provincial eunuchs and ministers were almost swallowed up by Yang Yizhong and Liu Yan. His usual task was to search for food in Tokyo to run errands for the officials, and to manage mulberry trees and fish ponds. He was warned in the early years. If it weren't for the old official Lan this time, he wouldn't have been too old to walk too much, it wouldn't be his turn to follow the emperor. But the problem is that he has not dared to ask about political affairs for many years, so how could he know the problems of local officials?

Fortunately, Li Xiuzhi rescued him at this time and said, "The official family interrupted. This matter is not blamed on Hu Tuiguan, but it is related to my family's affairs. Speaking of which, my father was very disgusted with Hu Yin and Hu's parents who did not recognize their biological parents, which also affected his uncle. Since he became the Yin of Henan, he talked about this matter publicly. Hu Tuiguan is also Hu Tuiguan's younger brother (simplely speaking, Hu Yin almost drowned by his biological parents when he was born, and his uncle Hu Anguo saved him and adopted him, so Hu Yin only recognized Hu Anguo as his father, Hu Hong, the parent-child of Hu Anguo, was his brother but did not recognize his biological parents). Naturally, he was not angry. His daily official duties were good, and there were many dissatisfactions in private."

There is another thing that is hard to say. Both of them have bad tempers, but no matter how famous your brother is, he has retired for many years. My brother is the current prime minister, who is afraid of whom!

The Zhao Guan family didn't expect that he was so honest, which was inconsistent with his performance along the way. He said curiously: "Xiuzhi, you are my close minister, but why do I think Li Dayin is extremely strict with you? You are close relatives. And Li Jing clearly has a house in the capital, why do you still live in the house of Li Xianggong (Li Guang, has a good personal relationship with Li Gang), and later went directly to his father-in-law's house."

Nowadays, the sect law is powerful, and Li Xiuzhi's actions are really weird everywhere. He didn't think much about it before, but now when it comes to contact, the more he thinks about it, the more he becomes, the more wrong he is.

Li Xiuzhi was really open-minded, and regardless of the fact that there were others in the car, he said directly: "The two uncles don't like me, and they think I'm slandering my father and the Li family."

It’s so straightforward that there is a little bit of Li Gang’s shadow, but Zhao Ziwei was shocked after hearing this. Don’t joke. I know you are a top student family, but who would think that a 20-year-old Tanhua is a black spot, and he has two sons in his family. If one of them passes the Jinshi, you have to thank Taizu for your blessing.

As if he knew what people around him were thinking, Li Xiuzhi said: "I am a concubine, and this book is nothing, but my father was born with the daughter of the Jiaofang Sile when he was dismissed from office. Naturally, the woman who was a resident was unable to redeem her. Therefore, after birth, I was raised by my mother's foster mother."

"If this is the case, it would be fine. My mother recognized me and I am the descendant of the Li family. But my parents were a little sincere. After the Jingkang Incident, my father returned to his hometown in disheartened. When he learned that his biological mother had been released from good fortune, he wanted to take her into the house. Before the etiquette was done, the official decided to stay in the Central Plains to fight against the Jin Dynasty and recall his father as prime minister. He was accused of being a good person. In the end, the matter was despised by the Qingliu. His two uncles advised him to put state affairs first. Later, his father was entrusted by the official family to the southeast to become the red flag of the anti-jin. Naturally, he could not care about anything, so his biological mother did not enter the Li family. Unfortunately, she died so depressed later and was not allowed to enter the Li family's ancestral tomb after her death. I wanted to buy a piece of land beside the ancestral tomb tomb of my mother, but I was not allowed to. In the end, I could only send it back to my biological mother's hometown, that is, the Wuwei Army for burial. It is said that I and the Chief Mei met at that time."

After saying that, he laughed at himself, "If I hadn't been smart since childhood, I would have been a little happy with my mother. I was far better than my brothers in my studies, and my father might have been the same attitude towards me."

The people in the car were all embarrassed in capital letters, especially Zhao Jiu regretted why he was so mean and uncovered a scar. No wonder Li Xiuzhi was sleek and terrifying from time to time. In this growing environment, if he had the bad temper of his father, he might not have been offended very much.

How to say, as long as there is no throne in the family to inherit it, the importance of legitimate and illegitimate is not that important. The eldest son will naturally inherit the ancestral property. However, for the officials who studied in the era, who really belong to whom is capable. As Li Xiuzhi said, if the clan recognizes it, the legitimate mother will recognize it. This is not a big problem for the birth of this official genius, otherwise Liang Hongyu's imperial edict and Han Shizhong's other two concubines would not be able to report it.

But Li Gang almost accepted the person at that time, which was a problem. You should know that when Han Shizhong married Liang Hongyu, he was the commander, and what was the position of a military general at that time? What was the position of the prime minister? And when the censor asked, "You Li Gang's official family was determined to resist the Jin Dynasty and find you to go back to your husband, you were still planning to marry a wife, so it would be too ugly to say it out. Especially because Li Gang offended a lot of people because of his bad temper, he might be revealed one day."

But as a modern person, Zhao Jiu did not think that this was a big deal. After thinking about Li Xiuzhi's age and personality, he said, "You are still young, and you should not follow the rules of the dynasty. Officials above the fifth rank can be granted the title of imperial edict for your mother and wife. Although your mother... I have always been a frivolous official." However, after saying that, he still glanced at the other two people and said that he should not have heard what he shouldn't have passed.

Li Xiuzhi was stunned, and all kinds of feelings surged into his heart, and suddenly kowtowed heavily in the car.

--------

A huge change in the status of women in ancient China was the abolition of the official craft system. This incident occurred during the Jianyan period of Emperor Shizu of the Song Dynasty. The organizer was mainly Li Xiuzhi, the Minister of Justice at that time.

The concept of prostitutes mentioned in Chinese history seems to be broader than what we say. It is divided into detailed divisions, consisting of palace prostitutes, camp prostitutes, official prostitutes, family prostitutes and civil prostitutes. Among them, official prostitutes were prostitutes who worshipped officials in ancient times. In order to cater to the needs of civil officials, they all needed to know poetry, calligraphy, piano and painting.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, there were official prostitutes serving them, but officials were not allowed to go to prostitution. But don’t think that taking the name of official is superior. They still have to serve others with their own qualities and entertain others with their voices. Even if they get married and have children, they will have to engage in a lowly career for generations. Some official prostitutes are in the prostitute, but they are strongly eager to be good at following goodness, break away from prostitutes, and restore human dignity and rights. But even so, they are discriminated against forever. It is worth mentioning that Li Xiuzhi’s biological mother Huang was a good official genius. Later, he was specially approved by Shizu and was granted the title of Jun of Anxiu County and the Lady of Jiujiang County.
