Shao Song

Vol 2 Chapter 18: Debriefing (Merry Christmas, everyone, happy birthday to the poor)

"Shao Song ( to find the latest chapter!

Tokyo is still lively in autumn, but it's more lively, and it's like that when you get used to it. From this perspective, this autumn, Tokyo City can be regarded as passing by in a relatively plain atmosphere.

There have been no foreign envoys for a long time. Of course, it would be a bit new for Korean and Japanese envoys to come together. But when envoys from all directions visit Tokyo City continuously and repeatedly, people will soon become accustomed to it.

There is also lottery. As soon as this gadget came out, all the people rushed to it...Of course, it is also rushed now, and even because of the limited amount of the Northern Expedition lottery limit, it has caused dissatisfaction with the rich. Some people in the public cabinet have already suggested that the Northern Expedition betting in the Cuju League. Large bets per ticket are allowed.

The lottery has only taken a few days, and it has been like this. As for the treasury debt stand in Xuande Building, the young crop loan and short-term loan in the temple and the warehouse, the market is gradually increasing in the Western Regions, grassland stuff, and there are take-away racks running around the street and every year. There will be an examination and a palace examination once, not to mention more.

Even the Mid-Autumn Festival is a bit accustomed to people.

No way, despite the seriousness of the occasion, the fact is that no matter who it is, it is difficult for anyone to be as candid as the first time. This seems a bit sad, but there is nothing to criticize. Because this is life, life itself will bury any past experience, and by the way, bury the most intense emotions together.

But having said that, this seemed to be the situation that the official Zhao who planted mulberry trees in the harem was most worried about, otherwise he wouldn't be calling for the Northern Expedition every day.

But even the slogan of the Northern Expedition has only been one year old, and everyone is used to it.

This autumn is the autumn of the seventh year of Jianyan.

In the fall of this year, Li Gang requested to sue his old man to return to his hometown, but Zhao Jiu refused.

In the autumn of this year, Zongze’s eldest son Zongying was transferred back to the center from a foreign county magistrate and became a member of the Ministry of Engineering.

In the autumn of this year, Zhao Fen, the eldest son of Prime Minister Zhao Ding, still did not participate in the test and still did not seek a wife.

In the fall of this year, Wang Zhongfu, who was born in Wuxue and served as a guard at Zhao Guan’s house, left Tokyo and returned to Kansai. The control officer Zhang Zhongfu had the same name, and specially changed the name of Zhang Shixiong.

Before leaving, he hesitated for a long time. Didn't he ask his familiar little Wu Guojiu to look for the little lady in the hat that he saw in front of Yuetai that day.

In the fall of this year, Yue Yun, who was fifteen years old, had gone through two years of martial arts, instead of staying in Tokyo to get married as he had imagined. Instead, he was sent to Zhang Xianbu in his father’s army. Military training as a pawn.

In the autumn of this year, like her sister Foyou, Princess Shenyou was promised to another handsome courtier's child, that is, Wu Jie's second son, Wu Fu...So far, all the daughters of the Zhao official family have been promised to serve as court courtiers. School-age children in the family.

In the autumn of this year, from the Taixue test before the Mid-Autumn Festival to the palace exam after the Mid-Autumn Festival, in addition to the further increase in the share of the original study, there were also a considerable number of questions that had nothing to do with the classics. The most prominent were mathematics and geography...after the palace exam. , The huge map drawn by Zhao Guan's family, including the East China Sea, the Western Regions, the Northern Wilderness, and the South Ocean, shook the entire ruling and opposition parties.

In the autumn of this year, the two Taishang emperors and the current emperor started serializing literary works at the same time. After the three Cao, the three Zhaos seem to add a strong and colorful stroke to the history of literary creation.

In the autumn of this year, as the veteran Lu Xuan resigned from the military post and transferred to the public cabinet, Wang De’s controversial envoy was officially awarded after the army expansion. Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Zhang Rong, Li Yanxian, Wu Jie, and Qu Ten generals, including Duan, Zhang Jun, Wang Yan, Ma Guo, and Wang De, who have served in the military and have a genteel status, are called Jianyan Shijiedu by the people.

In addition, Li Qiong and Li Bao, who did not have their identities because of their qualifications, were also called the Twelve Capitals.

After the expansion of the imperial battalion, the statistics of all the actual leaders of the commanding officers and the total number of nearly a hundred people, but also a one-hundred and eighty generals were made up by the good people. The first two commanding officers are not others, it is Yang Yizhong and Liu Yan.

In the fall of this year, a slight flood on Beijing's east and west roads was immediately brought under control by Yue Fei and Wan Hao.

This autumn, no matter how calculated, is the seventh year since the Zhaoguan’s Mingdao Palace fell into the well.

And when autumn is over and winter arrives, Concubine Wu is pregnant again, and Zhao Guan's house finally grows a beard... He is almost twenty-eight years old.

If you deceive yourself and others, you will be counted as middle-aged.

"let's start."

In the small sunny spring of October, the weather was bright, and when he returned from shooting the target, Zhao Guan's family walked back to Shiting. After sitting down, they learned that there was no rush to deliver the Mizha at night, so they directly signaled to Yang Yi and others.

At this time, there were only many close ministers inside and outside Shiting, but there were no important foreign ministers... and what Zhao officials wanted to'start' at this time was of course only the daily intelligence briefing.

Many close ministers glanced at each other, but Nippon Tada held his head high, and took the lead in stepping forward: "Return to the official, five things were collected by the minister yesterday... One, the official document reached the capital, saying that it was a fire in Hangzhou, which burned down the number of houses. Hundreds; Second, the Privy Council reported that Qianzhou bandits re-invaded the county seat, and the director Guo Zhongxun had already personally arrived in Qianzhou; Third, Quanzhou food and sea merchants gathered in Zhongshi Shisi, seeking the same example as the Han merchants, and the official Xu purchase The ship’s flag stamped letters; four, southwestern Gongzhou chieftain rebelled, and had been captured by the Yang clan of Bozhou; five, Dongshengzhou’s city market was burned by the golden cavalry..."

Besides, China is too big. Fires, droughts and floods, and even rebellion, as long as they are not large in scale, are all ordinary things, and Zhao Guan’s family has always been a dreadful change. It is the thunder that struck him from the sky, as long as it didn’t kill him. He didn't agree with him. What's more, there were countless military activities before this year... Therefore, such things have always been so easy to save, and Zhao Guanjia just asks.

However, after the complete launch of the financial construction plan in the middle of this year, the official still changed the procedure of the morning briefing. He asked the ministers to summarize various military and political news events affecting fiscal revenue and pass it through to him. It is not someone else who is honored, but he is willing to work hard, and there is already a house in Jingyuan's Renbaozhong.

Of course, these news are just excerpts and summaries of official documents through public channels, and have not really reached out to intelligence agencies.

"That's the same sentence." Zhao Jiu looked calm after hearing the report. "It should be rescued and rescued, the bandits should be suppressed, and the flag stamped letter cannot be given to the big cannibals. Otherwise, where can the superiority of the Han merchants be shown? There are border disputes, and the retaliation must be revenge. You cannot put the cart before the horse, and some money cannot be saved. …It’s just Renqing, why should the chieftain rebellion be included?"

"So that the officials know that the minister is worried that the Dali copper mine that had been negotiated with Gao Mingqing will be affected by this matter." Ren Baozhong quickly explained.

At this time, Lu Benzhong couldn't help but interject: "Renshe people think too much...Dali and China mainly travel through the Minjiang River, and Gongzhou is separated from the Luo family and the Yang family, which is not in the way."

Zhao Jiu nodded immediately.

By the way, here are a few more words.

Gao Mingqing is one of the core members of the Gao family of Dali's power minister. After Zhao Jiu suddenly sent an envoy to Dali and proposed a diplomatic offensive of'regardless of the etiquette system, exchange the presence or absence', the envoy sent by Dali... The reputation is different, and he can be the master.

In fact, the Gao family of Dali attaches great importance to diplomacy with the Da Song. Basically, the envoys who come to the Da Song are the core children of the Gao family. The last time they came to the Da Song as an envoy, it was none other than the current head of the Gao family. Dali governed Gao Taiyun, and Dali at that time was the father of Gao Mingqing Gao Taiming.

As for the Duan Heyu that Zhao Guanjia never forgets, it is simply that even the harem can't control it... The empress from the Gao family always blames Concubine Mu and Concubine Wang De, but Duan Heyu can only bear it.

Thinking of Wang Yuyan and Mu Wanqing marrying Duan Yu, they would be beaten all day long. Zhao Guanjia received a huge mental shock, and he naturally put out those messy thoughts and focused on winning Gao Mingqing.

In the face of Zhao Guan’s superiority, the Gao’s performance was very appropriate, and he directly promised the special tea-copper trade... But they also pointed out that this kind of trade is very disadvantaged, so they hope that the five-year period will be fair in the future. transaction.

Zhao Guanjia agreed to this.

In fact, not only Dali, but also the South Vietnam side is very smooth...The latter is now in the stage of suspicion of the country, and the country is declining, so that after being slightly threatened by the Zhao official family, he also agreed to the so-called'ruler'. Budoumi' deal.

In other words, it is the direct trade between cloth and rice. The Guangzhou maritime merchants that won the bid will travel between the north and the south and send the rice from South Vietnam directly to Jiaoxi (Jiaozhou Bay) in Mizhou, and then arrive at the reserve storages of the Imperial Army, the former army and the navy. .

It can only be said that everything depends on whether you can pull down your face, and once you pull down your face, there is always a way...Even the closed Japan and the Goryeo Zhao official family who is close to Jurchen Kansai can handle it, let alone these two families. Up.

Turning back to the front, Ninbaozhong had originally planned to withdraw, but Zhao Jiu thought for a while, and then said again: "The two chieftains of Yang and Luo are said to have been very loyal. They have been separate clans for hundreds of years. Never pay taxes, so can you borrow some money from them?"

"Officials."

Ninbaozhong's spirit was shaken, and he stopped immediately and gave his hand to right. "The officials thought that this was wrong... Although the Yang family and the Luo family were both Han officials, the Yang family was even the heir of the Yang family of the current dynasty, but after all, they are the chieftains of independent military and political affairs, and they are indistinguishable from the former Xixia Li Ni family in Xiazhou. …The reason why such a person is docile and loyal is that the court did not threaten him. Once he asks for something, it is possible to be loyal to the promise directly, but it is also possible to despise the court for this reason and become rebellious."

Zhao Jiu thought for a while, nodded directly, but then looked at Yang Yizhong: "Zhengfu will contact you more often..."

Yang Yizhong could only fold his hands and say yes, and then step back a few steps... This puzzled many people for a while, because it was the time for Yang Yizhong to report next, or that Zhao Guanjia meant him to speak, just because Thinking of the theoretical relationship between the Yang family of Bozhou and Yang Yizhong, he said casually.

But soon, everyone’s doubts became even heavier—Yang Yizhong stepped back, took a box from a ban straight behind him, and opened it in public, but actually took out a Dibao from it, the standard edition. Di Bao, and then carefully presented it to the Zhao official's house.

And Zhao Guanjia just looked at it and laughed on the spot: "Has the Jurchen people already achieved this step?"

There was a sudden crash among the surrounding core ministers, but they still don’t know where this newspaper was printed by the Kingdom of Kings. It’s just that this morning’s intelligence summary is always to be careful and evasive, so it’s not good for them to come forward and see it with their own eyes. What does the newspaper look like?

"Return to the official, that's the case." Yang Yizhong had already reported seriously. "This first Dibao has sixteen pages, and more than 3,000 copies have been printed. All officials and officials from Jin Guo can get it..."

"Jin Guo can still adjust measures to local conditions." Zhao Guanjia looked at the newspaper in front of him and shook his head with emotion. "People are not short of money, nor good craftsmen...Unlike us, it took many years to get the separate printing, which can be regarded as breaking through the printing cost and achieving one printing every ten days. But how about others?"

The people around looked at each other, one is not easy to interrupt, and the other is that they also know that this official is telling the truth... It seems that the Jurchen is a bit richer?

Of course, after all, Zhao Guan’s family used to talk and laugh at the forum 800 years later. It is a little clearer than these people can see, that is, the economy of Dasong and Dajin at the moment is actually very deformed.

If you look at the property or something, that is, gdp, it definitely saved the Song Dynasty south of the Huaihe River, which was crushed by the Dajin. The population is here, but because it was robbed, it was met with such disasters. Half of the world has been devastated by war, so the finances are very tight.

At the same time, one thing that cannot be ignored is that the Jurchens rose up by military. After annexing Liao, capturing Lianghe and sweeping the Central Plains, they plundered a large number of precious metals and top craftsmen in the most primitive way... The wealth accumulated in the highlands of East Asian civilization for more than 100 years was looted by them.

From the financial point of view, the precious metals that the Golden Kingdom can take out can kill those Emperor Song Emperors who are exhausted for money.

When thinking about money, the official could not help but want to ask Yang Yizhong, when will the ships that go to Japan to engage in mineral trade come back?

But don’t ask, Zhao Jiu also knows that it takes 60 days to sail between China and Japan, and there is still a transaction process in the middle, and even though Ping Zhongsheng gave a reply at the end of July, no one can do it. I don't know what the internal struggle in Japan will become, so when the fleet will come back, only God knows.

At this point, the official simply stopped thinking about the unfounded things, and focused on the Dibao in his hand, and could only say that the content on it was quite rich...Could it be rich?

This is the sixteenth edition!

"I'm not idle."

It took Zhao Ji a long time to finish reading the Hanwendi newspaper produced by Jin Guo, but after reading it, he randomly asked Liu Yan a question. "Wan Yan Pu Luhu is the eldest son of King King Wu Qimai?"

After all, although Yang Yizhong is the original jack-of-all-trades, there is no doubt that it is better to respect Liu Yan for things in the north.

"Yes."

Liu Yan immediately responded.

"So these people are all Wu Qi buying a party?"

Zhao Jiu pulled out a copy of the Dibao in front of him, and then handed it to the other party while pointing at a large paragraph of text.

Liu Yan took it with both hands, and after a glance, he shook his head again and again: "Officials, Jurchen names are mostly the same. Many times they can't tell them apart. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, A Gu Da only gave the royal family a Chinese name, and the people below are still confused. Confused, the ministers on this list are really indistinguishable... However, many of the people here are Xi, Khitan, and Yanyun Han people. The ministers are quite clear, and these people will definitely not be the so-called Wu Qibuy party, but they should be. With Wu Qibuying the eldest son to make trouble this time, the three Wushu brothers took the opportunity to eradicate dissidents!

"now it's right."

Zhao Jiu nodded again and again, then sighed again. "Before there was news from Goryeo that it was Wu Qimai's eldest son who was conspiring to rebel. I haven't thought much about it yet, but from the newspaper today, it's not that simple. Otherwise, the so-called Wu Qibuy party was dealt with earlier. Immediately afterwards, he announced the abolition of the marching divisions outside the Great Wall, the reduction of the left-behind, the reorganization of the military system, the establishment of the new army, the establishment of the Yushitai, and the dispatch of the Yushi of various nationalities to inspect Hebei...Plus the living women of the West Route Army, The Eastern Route Army Wulin Datai wanted two million households to return to Yanjing one after another... The three Wanyan brothers, this is the heart of Sima Zhao, and everyone knows it!"

The official Zhao himself sighed that Liu Yan was honest again, and didn't know how to answer the call, but he was cold for a while, and after the official paused, he replayed the Qiandi newspaper again, thoughtfully:

"However, in the end, Wanyan Wushu didn't dare to touch those tens of thousands of households... Instead, it meant to win over those tens of thousands of generals, so as to deal with the more troublesome Meng'an and murder."

At this time, someone finally made a sound at the right time, but it was Gemen Sheren Ren Baozhong: "Officials, it seems that Ma Jiedu is extremely right. Jurchen is completely Chinese, but Wanyanwushu does not dare to touch thousands of households. A leading general at this level."

Zhao Jiu nodded, but immediately shook his head again:

"Ma Kuo certainly had the point, but he changed his mind. I am afraid that I will behave like this in the position of the three Wushu brothers. Because Wanhu is just those dozens of people, it will be easy to draw in. In the future It’s easy to deal with after the incident, and the system of Meng’an, and Mengqi, which combines military power and governance power, has fallen into the rich and prosperous land of the two rivers. The inadequacy of the water and soil is the main reason for the decline and loss of control of Jurchen’s combat power. The scores are very serious. Stakes. It’s like I’m not being forced by the situation, so I can only take the commanders and the commanding officials and use their hands to manage the military affairs? Everyone is the same. Don’t look down on anyone!”

The atmosphere in the stone pavilion was a little bit solemn, but Nippon Tada soon found a new focus: "So, does this Jurchen have been learning from officialdom to do things?"

As soon as this remark came out, Shiting was in a trance inside and outside, and Zhao Jiu was also a little dazed.

Because after careful consideration, it seems to be so interesting.

However, after only a start, Zhao Jiu sneered in his sleeves: "Everyone is sweeping the snow, and I am also worrying about it... Let's do our own thing! Zhengfu, you go on!"

Yang Yizhong didn't dare to neglect, and then reported them one by one.

Among them, the Department of Military Statistics found a problem with the young crop loan somewhere, who visited the Holy Emperor Taishangyuan, and where the fighting took place in the rebels somewhere in Hebei, as well as the King of Eastern Mongol Hebule. After receiving the golden envoy, he hesitated and delayed until now. Finally, like the king of West Mongolia, he sent the news of his two sons. There were even price fluctuations in Tokyo, the fluctuation of public opinion caused by Cuju gambling, and the public criticism of great scholars in Taixue. Lottery and so on... There are so many varieties.

And Zhao Guanjia also listened to them one by one, and then remembered in his heart that he also gave instructions to some things that he felt inappropriate—but it was still the same, saving notes to the Privy Council and all.

It may be that there were more issues with the Jurchen Mansion Report today. After hearing the matter, it was actually noon. Zhao Guanjia waved his sleeves. Instead, he brought a group of nearby ministers to lunch directly in the pavilion, even the class straights were there. Change shifts at this time.

But that's not even counted. In the afternoon, the provincial government and the Privy Council delivered some important affairs that required the Zhao official's decrees. While discussing and making decisions, the Zhao official's family was inevitably busy again. At this time, the main work was undertaken by the important foreign ministers. A few of the writing work was also done by the Hanlin Academy in nearby public houses. Most of the time, the recent ministers such as Yang, Liu, Fan, Lu, and Ren Just stand up with Lan Gui, the detainee squad, for consultation.

In this way, Zhao Guanjia finally got up from the stone pavilion after working hard until the evening:

"Thank you today, everyone should be gone early!"

With this, the officials have already said that they are used to it, and the ministers have also become used to it.

Therefore, of course everyone had nothing to say, they just saluted together, and then stood standing outside the stone pavilion, directly watching the Yingyang Gate to the south of Zhao Guan’s house leave, and then each laughed, turning around and preparing to disperse directly from the Linhua Gate to the east...at night Naturally, the Hanlin bachelor who was on duty was on duty next to the stone pavilion and by the wall of Jingfu Hall... and the courtiers all had their own lives.

However, when Yang Yizhong didn't say a word and was about to go directly with his colleagues to the new residence in Jingyuan in the north, he was yelled by Lan Gui, the resident of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The others are not surprised, they just pretend not to see them, and leave...Song people like to line up seats and take nicknames. Yang Yizhong's position is important. Of course, similar things are inevitable...and one of the most nasty things is the beard. class! It means that although he is not an eunuch, but because of the trust of the Zhao official family and the fact that the internal servant is short of people, he has assumed the original duties of the internal servant and the detainee, and he does not know whether it was in the palace or the foreign court.

Less gossip, just talking about Yang Yizhong being left behind by Lan Gui. After a while, another escort, Feng Yi, arrived, and the latter said one thing.

It turns out that since the beginning of this year, the Zhao official’s house has become increasingly busy, and since the establishment of the wealth management policy, it has become more exhausted and thin... and the Queen Mother Wei has always been simple and simple, just like watching new dramas and not asking about foreign affairs. But she was also a little worried, so she found someone to buy a big parrot and wanted to send it to the official...but the queen mother also knew that the official put away a lot of thoughts after Jingkang, and she was frugal and committed to the Northern Expedition. She might not accept it, so she always Hesitate.

"The queen mother came to ask me first, but how do I know? Then he asked Grand Official Lan, who did not dare to speak. Finally, several people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs discussed, and they all said that they might as well ask Yang Tongzhi." Feng Yi finally said this. Generally speaking in the fish pond. "Tong-Ji Yang, give me a message. If you think it works, I will give it to the official... Actually, we in-house servants also feel that the official has worked too hard this year... But if Tung-Ji Yang thinks it’s not good, just do it with the three of us. It’s better for me to come forward and persuade the Queen Mother to raise the parrot by herself. How?"

Anything can happen in the palace, and Yang Yizhong is not puzzled by this kind of bird incident, but he pondered for a moment, but he asked another question:

"Old Feng, why did the Queen Mother send a parrot?"

Feng Yi and Lan Gui looked at each other, and in the end, Lan Gui whispered to each other: "Do not hide from Yang Tongzhi, old people in Tokyo know that officials like to play and tease birds since they were young! I really like it! Only after becoming an official, Bury all these preferences!"

Yang Yizhong was slightly startled, thinking for a moment, but he gave the answer directly: "Don't send it...Send it over, the official will deal with it strictly for the great cause of the Northern Expedition, UU reading www.uukanshu.com will follow suit. At that time, It doesn’t matter if you and I are dealt with. The point is that the Queen Mother thinks that the officials have some resentment towards her! It's nothing to cause trouble!"

Feng Yi and Lan Ju nodded together, knowing their hearts, and then the three of them stopped talking and dispersed.

The two servants didn’t mention, Yang Yizhong returned to the new house in Jingyuan, just outside the palace, and had his servant wife Ji concubine’s children to welcome him, followed by a feast and dinner, and then rested early...but for some reason, he tossed and turned tonight, and still couldn’t sleep. .

On the second day, he had a strong spirit of fighting and went to the palace to take care of him early, but unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the martial arts school of Zhao official’s home to shoot a target, his subordinates came to report—the official felt cold yesterday and was sick on the couch. The intelligence was reported, and foreign affairs were also handed over to the ministers.

Of course Yang Yizhong had nothing to say, and even felt a little relieved after seeing the official...because the official was not seriously ill, and he was in good spirits. It was just a stuffy nose and a cough. In this case, there would be no parrots. To relieve the boredom, Zhao Guan's family can have a good rest for a few days.

However, when Pan Guozhang entered the palace on the same day, he did not mention the medication and treatment in person. After a few days, the officials improved several times, and finally got worse. After using some dwindling medicines, he used more medicine every day. There is a groggy state.

At this time, although the harem of the foreign dynasty was worried everywhere, but they didn't think what would happen... After all, the official family was very young and wealthy, and it was not a serious illness... Only Yang Yizhong gradually became a little worried.

Because the last time Zhao Guan's family stayed in bed for such a long time was six or seven years ago, it was the autumn of the first year of Jianyan.

Now, it is the winter of Jianyan's seventh year, and the eighth year of Jianyan is coming soon.
