Chapter 348

The ninth day of August.

A couple in their thirties traveled hundreds of miles from Mizhou to Yidu, Qingzhou, in a green mantle cart, escorted by hundreds of Liangshan army infantry.

This is a city that the husband and wife are very familiar with. They had stayed in this city for eight years earlier.It was also to avoid the disaster of Liangshanbo that the couple had to return to their hometown in Mizhou.Unexpectedly, after hiding thousands of times, he still couldn't escape, what was supposed to come still had to come.

Zhao Mingcheng lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the familiar Yidu City, and sighed: "Through the ages, the only way to die is to die. Being a husband bears the weight of the family, and the hope of Qilu Shilin can't be upright and virtuous. It is a great virtue to show one's ambition through death. deficit."

Although he himself is not a high-ranking official, his father Zhao Tingzhi is a strong man who dares to fight against Cai Jing.In the first year of Daguan (1107), Zhao Tingzhi dismissed his prime minister, and then died of illness. Zhao Mingcheng was framed by Cai Jing, and was chased to give him an official position. His family members were imprisoned.

In the original official history, the couple stayed in Qingzhou for 13 years.But in this time and space, there is an extra variable like Lu Qian. The couple rushed to the uneasy situation as early as Liang Shanbo's first attack on Dongping Mansion. They packed their bags early and went to Zhucheng, Mizhou, Zhao Mingcheng's hometown.

But now Zhucheng is also occupied by Liangshanbo, the husband and wife have nowhere to go, this time they were sent to Yidu by a group of people, the same is true.

Zhao Mingcheng was not a decisive person. Lu Qian received the Mizhou News and made a decision after a little thought.If the Mizhou army general is to use force, Zhao Mingcheng cannot help but refuse to do so.As far as Lu Qian's memory was concerned, Zhao Mingcheng was by no means a stalwart man.At the intersection of the two Song dynasties, he once reached the high position of knowing the Jiangning Mansion. However, there was a rebellion in the Jiangning camp. Instead of taking precautions, he simply abandoned the city and fled when the rebellion broke out. Such a cowardly person , are you willing to die?

Sure enough, under strong pressure, Zhao Mingcheng succumbed.The husband and wife went first, and the gold, stone and antiques gathered in their home would be sent here in the future.

Lu Qian was overjoyed when he heard the news.Zhao Mingcheng's old son, Zhao Tingzhi, has little influence with the court of the Northern Song Dynasty, but his influence in Shandong still exists.Li Qingzhao's father, Li Gefei, was not only the son-in-law of Prime Minister Wang Gui, but also a disciple of Su Shi.He was born in the Li family of the Dongping Mansion. Many members of the Li family have fled, but there are still many people who are still staying where they are.

Lu Qian had a lot of opinions on scholar-bureaucrats, and even looked down on them.But he also knows that if he wants to govern China, he cannot do without them, and he cannot do without today's Confucianism.

Don't mention revival of hundreds of schools, let's be realistic.The Song Dynasty was not the Han Dynasty, the latter still had a little bit of a hundred schools of thought, the former time, the fart of a hundred schools of thought, those disciples and grandchildren of Confucius who deceived teachers and exterminated their ancestors, had long been writing "I annotate the Five Classics" and "The Five Classics annotate me "Under the banner, he collected all the essences of hundreds of schools of thought that he needed.

[Han Confucianism is "I annotate the Five Classics", that is, there are classics first, and then delve into the classics to find out the truth; Song Confucianism is "Five Classics Annotate Me", that is, first have your own thoughts, and then distort the classics to interpret them.Wang Anshi's "Three Classics and New Meanings" seems to be a typical example. 】

Who dares to say that Shen Kuo is not a Confucian scholar?Who would say that Yue Fei is not a Confucian general?
With the development of the times to today, under the evolution of thousands of years, Confucianism has not only become the representative of Chinese culture in name, but also the main body of Chinese culture in essence.

Agriculture, engineering, law, martial arts, arithmetic, medicine, etc., have been completely included in the Confucian sect.

This is a story that embraces all rivers.Adhering to the doctrine of borrowing, Confucianism, in the process of self-development, takes whatever it needs from other schools.In order to maintain the inheritance, other schools had to put a layer of Confucian skin on the outer body.

Those who are unwilling to do so can only be completely annihilated by the turbulent waves of the long river of history.This is a process of "big waves wash away the sand", and not only those "stubborn" schools of thought, but also old-fashioned people within Confucianism will be eliminated.

Over time, it seems that those schools with Confucian skin on their bodies have really become Confucianism.

Thousands of years of time, the support of the emperor's imperial power, has made Confucianism grow to an irreversible level.Lu Qian never denied this.That's why he is full of confidence.Because as long as it is supported by the imperial power, under strong pressure, Confucianism will automatically and actively adapt to and move closer to this change.

Confucian scholar-bureaucrats are the most stubborn, but also the easiest to change.

Because this school of thought has been deeply integrated with China's history and China's development.It has never been a school of thought. Knowledge and reading have long been equated with being an official and being rich in the thinking of ordinary Chinese people.

Chasing power is the essence of 90.00% Confucian scholar-bureaucrats.If this remains the same, Lu Qian believes that Confucianism will take the initiative to change.The couple Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao are the bridge between Liang Shanbo and Confucian scholar-bureaucrats.

Of course, it cannot be denied that Lu Qian also wanted to meet the famous Lay Yi An who has been passed down through the ages.

Li Qingzhao could hear her husband's words, but she didn't have the spirit to answer, nor did she have the spirit to speak.Lay Yi An, who is just in her early thirties, is of course not seriously ill, but a heart disease.

The husband's behavior along the way was like a sharp knife piercing the originally intimate love between the two.For the first time, she knew that her husband, who was highly educated and humble, was actually such a cowardly person.

The two have been married for more than ten years, and they have a harmonious relationship after marriage. They enjoy collecting gold, stone, calligraphy and paintings.Due to political factors, Zhao's relatives were forced to live in seclusion in the countryside. Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao came to Qingzhou to settle down.The Zhao family has changed from a dignitary to an ordinary citizen, but for them, it was a blessing in disguise.The two were able to devote all their energy to gold and stone, calligraphy and painting, and antiques.Every time the Zhao couple got a strange book, they would jointly check and proofread it, arrange the inscriptions, and match it with calligraphy and painting utensils, carefully play with it, and comment on each other.At the same time, the couple often sit in the returning hall to make tea after meals.The two pointed to the books in the room and tortured each other, and the person who guessed correctly drank tea first.Have fun with it.It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a couple of gods and immortals.

As for Li Qingzhao, who has not been out for more than ten years, there is no need to worry about whether Zhao Mingcheng secretly wanted to take a concubine and have children.Anyway, Zhao Mingcheng himself only got Lin'er when his father was 40 years old.

Although he lost his official position, Li Qingzhao felt that his life was not bad.Compared with her cousins ​​and cousins, this kind of life is really not changed by any official.

But Zhao Mingcheng's struggle and cowardice along the way now made her really ashamed.Although there is no quarrel, the harmony between fish and water in the past is gone forever, and she seems to be alienating Zhao Mingcheng emotionally.

"The shadow of the candle on the mica screen is deep, the long river is gradually falling and the morning stars are sinking. Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and the sky are heart-warming every night." Last night was Zhao Mingcheng's last chance. He sat alone in front of the window for half the night, and he didn't have the heart to kill himself. .Only such a poem was left on the desk.When Li Qingzhao asked him, Zhao Mingcheng even used words to prevaricate that he could respond to the court, which really made him want to sneer just thinking about it.

Even more disapproving of Zhao Mingcheng's words.With his guts, does he really dare?Even if he dares, he knows that he has lost his integrity, and he wants to use this to relieve his shame.

When the two entered Yidu City, they were naturally in their old house.Although all the servants left in the past have fled, the courtyard has been cleaned up, and there is a lot of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.When the husband and wife settled down, some people even led dozens of men and women to come and choose based on them.

Lu Qian will come to visit in the afternoon.

He was very interested in Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao, and Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao were also very interested in him.

In less than three years, such a big wave was set off under the eyes of Tokyo. With an elite division and outnumbered enemies, they repeatedly defeated the officers and soldiers, captured veteran veterans, and made the emperor lose his majesty.In the 50 years of the Song Dynasty, such a big thief has never been seen.What's even more strange is that such a talent was originally a small official in the imperial court system.This can be regarded as a legacy of the sea.

There are talents left behind on the road, which is the fault of the minister.Lu Qian is so powerful, it can be said that what happened to Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao is a repeat of the past.

I don't know if Zhao Guan's family has thought about this, otherwise, according to this example, Cai Jingxiang will be fine.

Liang Shanbo has ruled Shandong for more than a month, and Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao are well aware of all policies.It can be said that this person set off a sea of ​​​​blood in the boundaries of Shandong.And although the foundation is not stable, there is no sign of reconciliation with the big gentry, and the vigorous and resolute actions, the blood flow in all parts of Shandong.However, in addition to being strict with the big gentry, he also treated the common people leniently, setting up a propaganda department, publishing newspaper news, and ordering teahouses, taverns, and merchants to set up newspaper doctors to read newspapers regularly and at fixed points, publicize policies, and guide public opinion. .

In this way, it will only take three to five years. If Qilu Shilin does not bow his head, the right to speak will disappear.The so-called scholarly discussion is worthless.

When they heard that Lu Qian came to visit in person, Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao were surprised and got up to respond.

This Zhao Mingcheng was wearing a navy blue straight embroidered robe with wide sleeves and a wooden hairpin on his hair.As for Li Qingzhao, no matter how he looks, he is not as good as the second daughter in his family anyway, but his gorgeous temperament reminds people of eight words: gentle and elegant, beautiful and intelligent.

The two walked together, and it really seemed like a husband and wife.It would be better if they didn't have red on the air column above their heads.

Seeing Lay Yi'an's appearance, Lu Qian's wish was fulfilled.I had a chat with Zhao Mingcheng, and what I said was that I am optimistic about you, work hard, and you will have a bright future in the future.Then Lu Qian left.If you don't leave, is it possible to talk about the past and the present with their husband and wife in the returning hall, talk about poetry and poetry, and comment on poetry?Let's save it.

Leaving a personal invitation card is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet on August [-]th.That was also the beginning of Zhao Mingcheng and his wife's debut.

"Although the chief governor's actions are domineering, he is also upright and more disciplined. Now that the officials have made up their minds, they abandon those delusional ideas, stop being at both ends, and repeat their intentions. At that time, it will harm others and oneself , ridicule for the scholars of the world." After saying this, Li Qingzhao also turned and left.In the spare time, Zhao Mingcheng looked at the Mid-Autumn Festival invitations alone, and remained silent.Today is the ninth day of August, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is very close.

At this time, in the carriage, Lu Qian was very happy.

Zhao Mingcheng's father still has two points of influence in Qilu Shilin. Little Zhao Mingcheng is the best bridge for Lu Qian to communicate with Qilu Shilin.Although this fellow is reluctant, he doesn't care, as long as Zhao Mingcheng does things well.And with his participation, things spread, hehe, that was Liang Shanbo's help.

There are many officials who were unlucky because of the original Yuanyou Party monument, but there are far more than [-] of them.Zhao Mingcheng's choice might give them some action.Anyway, it's a great thing.

At this moment, the carriage stopped abruptly.

Tang Wu hurried in and said, "Report to the Governor, there is news from Dizhou."

Lu Qian lifted his spirits and said, "What did Song Gongming say?"

Tang Wu said: "Song Gongming is willing to send his troops to serve as the governor and sacrifice Dizhou. I only hope that our army can break Cangzhou and return to his brother."

Lu Qian was overjoyed.This black guy was bullied by Wang Shizhong and had no choice but to join Liang Shanbo. It was a desperate situation, and this time finally let's not talk about Yanshun's man-eating thief.

"Come here, holding Song Jiang's handwriting, hurry to Yizhou to recruit Zhu Dian and Lei Heng."
