Chapter 58: Sacrificial River
Time can easily discard people, eliminate ice and snow, and green grass. In just over ten days, tender yellow forsythia in the palace quietly announced the arrival of spring.
Jingzhao Prefecture has always been known as the "Eight Waters Chang'an". Seeing that the situation is stable, Zhao Jiu also took his guards out and walked around. When he arrived at the famous Bashui River, he saw that the river water gradually thawed, and the fish jumped out of the water but were taken away by the flying sand gulls. Under the sunset, golden lights lingered among the waves, and the fisherman's songs in the distance were leisurely in his ears. It was a leisurely and beautiful scene. As far as he saw, the height and vicissitudes of the ancient city walls of Chang'an were also the height and vicissitudes of the ancient city walls.
Zhao Jiu couldn't help but sigh, "After the thirteen dynasties, after experiencing war, this atmosphere is not comparable to other places."
Yang Yizhongdao; "If the official family likes it, you might as well live for a few more days. Now the situation is safe and unhindered."
Speaking of the fact that the Zhao Guan family has known each other for many years, and there is no need to say a lot of words in each other's stomach. Zhao Jiu smiled and said, "Zhengfu saw Xiao Enxiao coming and knew that I was going to go to Ningxia Road, so he said that."
Yang Yizhong was helpless and said, "The official understands everything, and there is no hurry to deal with the Huang Dynasty. Since leaving Tokyo, there have been such twists and turns. Ningxia is a new place to recover. I really can't rest assured!"
"I know, but I'm here to cure yellow this time. Although I may have changed the center of gravity in the future, I still have to have a beginning and an end this time. Besides, this has been comfortable for a long time. In the past, when fighting against Yanling and fighting against Yaoshan, it was not a dangerous time? Why are you still afraid of a few clowns now!"
Yang Yizhong was so bitter that he seemed to have an olive in his mouth. He really wanted to say what if? But as soon as he said that, "The official promised the second princess before leaving Beijing that he must go back to preside over her hairpin ceremony in March. Now it is February soon. Ningxia is more than 2,000 miles away from Tokyo, and it will definitely be delayed after one trip. I am bluntly saying that the princess is a daughter-in-law, but her mind is meticulous."
Who knew that he would not say it would be fine, but when Zhao Jiu mentioned it, he suddenly became happy and said, "Zhengfu reminded me that since I went to Xingqing Mansion, Mogao Grottoes are not far away. Shenyou, this child likes the picture of the flying Buddha statue the most, and asks someone to copy a few rare ones to send to her. But be careful not to destroy them, they are all national treasures. There are also emeralds sent by the Western Liao Dynasty. This time she will be given a head, so that she will definitely not be angry and feel that my father is partial to her!"
Yang Yizhong:...
Well, this master was determined to eat the weight, and he would not have any results if he persuaded him.
In fact, Yang Yizhong also knew that the Zhao Guan family was right, and it was a dangerous place to go on a boat. Now it was just a little bit of a dark place in the country. But how could it be if the Zhao Guan family was afraid of these? Not to mention anything else, this time in Nanyang, this person used 10,000 soldiers and horses as bait, and took Liu Yan’s eight hundred Chixin Cavalry and a few civil servants and eunuchs to cross the Baihe River in Nanyang. He first passed through Zhongyang Mountain to the east and walked out of the Nanyang Basin, and then took Xiping as the axis to bypass the battlefield where the Jin army might exist. He went straight to Yanling one day and two nights to cut off Du Chong to seize military power. There is no danger? But the tens of thousands of Jin troops on the periphery were dead!
But Zhao Guanjia did this. He later told Yang Yizhong that Han Shizhong was trapped at that time, and if he had his courage to degenerate, it would be the end.
Although the world is peaceful now, you, the emperor, don't need to be a life-long man. But Yang Yizhong feels that if he is in his early thirties, he will be forced to stay in the Tokyo-Yanjing Palace for the rest of his life. What might happen? Although that is theoretically the safest.
After understanding the current situation, Yang Yizhong no longer persuaded him. He just made an appointment with the official family not to follow the ancient Silk Road, but went out to Chang'an to Yan'an and then to Yanzhou to Yinchuan. For no other reason, this was Wu Jie's defense zone. Before, Han Shizhong had been operating for many years and was always more reliable.
The Zhao Guan family naturally agreed, so the imperial guards prepared and headed west on the second day of the second month, and agreed to meet with Zhao Ziwei in Yan'an Prefecture. When the news was received by Tokyo, the daylily was cold, so they could only angrily ask for another beheading Yang Yizhong. Yang Yizhong was not worried about his debts, but he just carefully selected three thousand soldiers to go with him. Instead, Xin Wenyu was driven back by the Zhao Guan family and married him.
In the original words of the Zhao Guan family, "If you want to follow me, you will not be able to return to Jinan Mansion until the middle of the year. Don't let your beloved Sister Sun wait any longer."
This was what the two of them said, so although Xin Wenyu was a little embarrassed, he was always a cheerful person, so he took leave and went home to get married.
As the saying goes, why should Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not cross Yumen Pass. Although it has not yet arrived in the Western Regions, the soil erosion in Guanxi in the Song Dynasty has been relatively serious. The more we go west, the fewer people are. It is true that he is bored in his car and cannot read books, so he drags Xiao En over and chats, and starts with: "Have you gained anything from being a censor for three or four months since the reign of the company?"
He asked casually, but he didn't expect Xiao En to answer seriously, saying, "The official family has many things to participate in, but he was stopped by Punishment Zhao Tong."
Zhao Guanjia was stunned and then listened to him: "Brother Zhao's family said that the river affairs are complicated, either they are watching or watching. I have to watch and hear it with him before complaining to you... That participant, for example, the Hancheng County Magistrate drove out villagers to serve labor last year, and frozen a lot of people. I... I don't just want to participate in him, I just want to beat him to death. But Brother Zhao..."
Liu Yan, who had been here for injuries, finally couldn't help it and reminded him: "Chief Xiao should be called Zhao Tongzong, and he seems to be a few years younger than you."
Xiao En remembered that the leader of the Song Dynasty, the eldest brother in front of him, was also surnamed Zhao, and smiled awkwardly, saying, "The official family is forgiven for his crimes, but I still have a bad temper. I admire him because I admire him."
Zhao Jiucai didn't care and continued to ask: "Oh, although my clan brother is not selfless, he will not be selfish. Why do you stop you? Are you afraid that you will kill someone by impulse?"
"It's so let the officials know. I thought so too, but so Zhao Tong took me to the scene to see it. It turned out that there was also flood in Hancheng County. During the war last year, a gate was broken and not repaired. This year, it was frozen. If it was not repaired before spring, it would not only delay spring plowing, but also prone to flooding. Although the Hancheng magistrate's behavior was a bit rough, he was also devoted to the public. Zhao Tong asked him to remit some of the money to the civilians, and he did as he did. Therefore, I think he is also a good official and should not be participated in the report."
Zhao Guanjia praised: "Zhao Ziwei did the right thing. Although you can be a censor, you must also understand the actual situation in the local area. Otherwise, the transfer of the land will also cost the court's money and food."
Xiao En nodded and said, "The King of Lu had told us this principle before that the court gave us the navy... At that time, I was still in charge of the navy, and the money allocated was all taxes for the people. If it was corrupt and wasted, it would be no different from those dog officials who forced us. So I thought it seriously and I would participate in the Hequ magistrate Zhang Zhongxiong."
"Why? Did he abuse people's power?" Although Zhao Jiu didn't understand the actual situation, Xiao En's personality was basically clear, and he should not do anything without evidence.
"The official family is not. This person relies on his son of the famous minister Zhang Shuye to be a hero in the county. The governor of xz is from Jiangnan and dare not care about him. He has no evidence for his corruption and bribery. However, I saw with my own eyes that he wanted to sacrifice to the river and throw good boys and girls into the river. I was so angry that I threw him into the river. He shouted that it was because of Zhang Shuye's old man... Zhang Zhongwen once surrounded and suppressed Liangshanpo, and I took revenge. Bah, we have been officers and soldiers for so many years, and there is still no reason. It is clearly my heroic son, the bear, who harms the people. I am learning to write. After I finish writing, I will not only show it to the official family, but also send it to the officials in Tokyo to judge and judge."
Zhao Guanjia narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you really want to sacrifice the children to the river?"
Xiao En felt a little cold in the spring, but his body was not afraid of the shadow slanting. He still said, "If the officials don't believe it, I will send the censors to him. I have asked him. He has been a county magistrate for three years and drowned children from several families. If it weren't for the court's preaching laws, I really wanted to drowned him."
Zhao Jiu then stopped talking. After walking for a few days, the group arrived at Yan'an Prefecture and was naturally warmly entertained by local officials and Wu Jie. However, the Zhao family was still in a bad mood, not only because of Zhang Zhongxiong's fault, but also because of the special report that the XZ prefect actually brought the river magistrate Zhao Ziwei, because this person was too hard and fell ill.
-----Theater Extra-----
As we all know, the Song Dynasty was so generous that the Song Dynasty's Xianggong Town was more crowded than in previous dynasties, with housing difficulties and neighbors very close.
Moreover, Yan Jun didn't know what he thought. Some famous officials could come in even if they were posthumously titled, such as Zhang Shuye and Zhang Suo, and some prime ministers who were too uncharacteristic, even if they entered the Political Affairs Hall during their lifetime, they would not be qualified, such as Han Jiang.
On that day, Wang Boyan got up and was about to go to chat with Lu Gongzhu, who was well-educated. Suddenly, he heard a howl and was startled. He looked at the direction and asked, "Is it Duke Zhang Zhongwen or Duke Zhang Rongxi (Zhang Qi)?" The two are great-grandchildren.
Zhang Qi was the prime minister of Renzong's dynasty. The biggest topic was that he raised Empress Dowager Zhang Xian for ten years for Emperor Zhenzong, and he did not dare to go back to avoid suspicion.
Zong Ze, who was not far away, was also woken up and said angrily: "I heard this shrill, it must be Mr. Zhang Ye, who was advised by Zhang Qi?" Mr. Zong, Zhang Shuye, still maintained a certain respect, but he had no good feelings for a lucky person like Zhang Qi.
After speaking, he had already surrounded people and asked what had happened. But not because the officials insisted on going west and something happened again, Yang Yizhong should indeed be killed.
Wang Anshi's logic score is still full, "No, it's really a matter for the official family. Zhang Qi still has time to comfort him, so he cried together long ago!"
Everyone agreed. Sure enough, after a while, Zhang Dun, who was also the two neighbors, came out and said, "Let's part with you, give Zhang Gong some face. If his descendants are not worthy, he will have no face to see anyone."
As soon as these words were said, most of the people changed their faces. There were few scum in their descendants in their families. Some of them had great-grandchildren who could not even surrender, and their ancestors were reincarnated alive.
Zhang Dun was also afraid of being angry with the public, especially when he saw his mentor Wang Anshi and his brothers were very angry, he quickly told Zhang Shuye's son about his destruction.
There was a sudden curse in the town. It was a priest who had been alive before his death, so who would believe in these lustful sacrifices?
Someone asked again: "How did the official deal with it?"
