Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 494

Zhending is not well-known in later generations, and Zhao Zilong, who knows this place, is more in Changshan.Changshan at the end of Han Dynasty was Zhending.

Zhending during the Northern Song Dynasty could be said to be the pinnacle of this city. As the capital of Hebei West Road, Luzhi, Zhending Palace was the most prosperous in Hebei Road.Thirty miles around the city, there are many residents, Buddhist palaces and temples, nestled among flowers, bamboos and flowing water.Shiyun is 'Saibei Jiangnan'.

Here is a pearl in the history of ancient Chinese gardens, Zhendingtan Garden.

When Li Baochen, the envoy of Chengde Army in the Tang Dynasty, expanded and built Zhenzhou City (the name at that time), he built Yacheng with three walls and one water pool in the city wall with the help of a water pool for the north protection, so it was named Tan City.Later Jiedu envoys built it carefully, making it a garden-style building complex composed of pavilions, pools and springs, and exotic flowers and trees.The construction of this scenic garden, even the background of the army, said "the emperor would rather have a kind of evil? He who has a strong soldier and a strong horse will do it!" The heroic words of An Chongrong, the military governor of Chengde in the late Jin Dynasty of the Five Dynasties, also had a special liking for it. When the Northern Song Dynasty was founded, when Zhao Da and Zhao Er raised troops to attack Liao and wipe out the Northern Han Dynasty in order to relieve the threat from the north, they successively led heavy troops to Zhending and stationed in Bitan Garden. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is naturally better than that of the Tang Dynasty.

Now that the Daming Mansion has been destroyed, Zhang Suo and his son, the pacifier of East Hebei Road, have been captured, and their chief general, Wang Yan, has defected to the enemy.The gentry and rich families in the prefectures and counties of Hebei Province, which had been ravaged by war for a long time, poured in in large numbers.

It is also because the floating population is so large that the internal and external security of Zhending is not strict.There's nothing you can do, you can't just ask people to take their relatives and friends nearby to prove their identity when they flee, right?

The only thing that the Zhending government can rely on to identify the identity is "personal credentials".

But the real situation is that it is already a bad street with this thing.Some large gentry families who were notorious in the original place scattered and fled in various branches, changed their old credentials, concealed their names, and settled hundreds of miles away. They are another good family.Although they will all suffer heavy losses after doing this, because they can leave alone, but they can't leave the land and property no matter what.How can this not make them vomit blood?

But money is precious, but it is not as precious as your own life, isn't it?

People who do this say too many are not too many. After all, not everyone can lose their car and keep handsome, but the number is not too small.The Liangshan Army's intelligence department had already noticed it, but it was powerless to monitor it.Can only let them do their own thing.

If so, Chen Zhenghui, the father of the prisoner who was ordered to beheaded by the Zhao and Song courts, Chen Guan [Chen Yu], can also sit in a carriage, hold books, and travel along the official road all the way to the real world. Set out of the city.

This is the capital of West Hebei Road, which may be inferior to Daming Mansion, but it is also an economic, political, military, and cultural center of Hebei.

Chen Guan came here today to be a lobbyist, so that the Chen family can make another contribution in the new dynasty.By the way, it is also to preserve a few old friends. The trend is surging, those who follow will prosper and those who oppose will perish. It is better not to be stubborn.

He was Tanhua in the second year of Song Yuanfeng (1079). At that time, Zhao Song was at a time when the old and new parties were fighting each other.Wang Anshi's eldest son, Wang Yu, died of illness. He himself resigned as prime minister and lived in seclusion in Jiangning. New laws and regulations were abolished one after another.However, the leading figures of the new party were unwilling to be left alone, and fought fiercely with the revival of the old party, not to mention Song Shenzong, an emperor who wanted to reform and strengthen himself, and whether he had the courage to persevere to the end. It is a kind of sadness to be in such a political environment, especially his humble but persistent character.

He does not agree with the new law of the new party, nor does he think that the old party's politics is good governance.Because he was born in Fujian [the base of the new party's important ministers], he was regarded as the new party by the old party, and he was faintly rejected by the new party because he did not attach to the new party.

However, he is modest, doesn't fight for property, lives in a private house and is self-sufficient, and he doesn't talk too much. He reprimands Cai Jing, Cai Bian, Zhang Dun, An Dun and others. Although he hates them, he admires his character.Because of the ups and downs, the experience was particularly miserable. In 30 years, he was transferred to Fan [-] times, passing through [-] provinces and [-] prefectures and counties.Chen Guan is well-known among scholars all over the world, and he is worthy of his character.He represented the upright morality of the society at that time, he did not flatter those in power, and insisted on his own righteousness even if he was tossed about.

The struggle between the old and new parties hurt both sides. The old party was demoted one after another, and Zhang Dun and other pragmatic officials of the new party also stepped down.In the end, political speculators Cai Jing and other puppet new parties benefited and entered the political arena.

Chen Guan was the first person to impeach Cai Jing in the dynasty. In the second year of Yuanfu (1100), Zhezong of the Song Dynasty died, and Duan Wang Zhao Ji ascended the throne. Cai Jing was dismissed and became Duanming and Longtu bachelors. He knew Taiyuan, and the Empress Dowager ordered Huizong to Cai Jing was left to complete the work of compiling history.However, not long after, Chen Guan, who was Zuo Sijian at the time, impeached Cai Jing for his friendship with the chamberlain, and pointed the finger directly at the empress dowager. Later, Chen Guan was found guilty and dismissed, and Cai Jing was demoted and sent to Jiangning.

When Cai Jing recovered again, it was his son Chen Zhenghui who offended Cai Jing, was sentenced to tattooing and exiled to the island.Chen Guan himself was demoted to Tongzhou.Later, when the Yuanyou Party was banned, Chen Guan was on top of it.Later, Chen Zhenghui escaped from Qiongzhou in a risky manner, and served under the account of Lu Qian, who was also known as the governor of Qingzi. Chen Guan was also taken by the intelligence department to be raised by Qilu general.At that time, Lu Qian was still worried that Chen Guan, a very virtuous scholar-bureaucrat, would rather die than obey.After all, it was a genuine Jinshi background, and such people valued their own reputation very much.At that time, Lu Qian was still a rebel who hadn't become a force yet.In fact, they are very cooperative. Telling the root cause is just enough torment and heartbreak.

And since the son is willing to give it a go, why should he regret that half of his body has already entered the loess of old age?

Later, Chen Zhenghui was also very successful under Lu Qian's command, and he repeatedly poached famous roles for Lu Qian.If the Secretary of Xuanzheng said that the initial establishment was only aimed at the low-level people, so that the people would know the policies of the Liangshan Army; now, the appearance of Chen Zhenghui has subsidized its other leg.In this way, it is no wonder that he is now sitting on the right of the Secretary of Xuanzheng and participating in politics.

On the one hand, targeting the common people, and on the other hand, targeting the gentry and bureaucrats, this way the Secretary of Publicity and Political Affairs is completely perfect.

Chen Zhenghui was able to poach the Zhao family time and time again. If it weren't for the reputation of their father and son, especially his father's reputation, it would obviously be impossible.

Chen Guan's visit this time is really determined, and the plan is not small.He has a good status and is well-known among scholars, even if his son is already an important minister of Lu Qi, it doesn't matter whether he is well-known or not.However, his identity was a hindrance, so Chen Guan had to come to see a person first, this person's surname was Ren, and his name was Boyu.

A native of Meishan in Sichuan and Shu, he lived with Chen Guan for ten years, and now he is over seventy years old.It is also a figure on the stele of Yuanyou Party members.

In the early years, he lived in Jianxing for half a year, and he went to a hundred and eight books. The ministers of the court feared that he would talk too much. Today's Zhao officials regard him as a matter of giving, and the secret order is to keep silent.Later, Cai Jing erected a monument to Yuanyou party members, and Ren Boyu was demoted to Changhua.After the party's imprisonment was lifted, Ren Boyu took refuge in the name of his advanced age.First he lived in seclusion in Heluo, and then in Zhending a few years ago.

Although this is not the hometown of Ren Boyu, people all over the world respect him for his sincerity and uprightness. He is also a giant of Shilin in this Hebei West Road.

Chen Guan and Ren Boyu have not seen each other for many years, but they were familiar with each other in the past.When he took over the post of Zuo Sijian, he was succeeded by Ren Boyu.Ren Boyu was in office for half a year and wrote [-] letters to impeach Cai Bian [Cai Jing's brother] for six major crimes. His successor Chen Guan was the first to impeach Cai Jing. Their actions were also well-known in the government and the public.

The carriage passed through the crisscross streets, turned a few turns, and stopped directly in front of a mansion.

"Old Master, this is the place." The coachman said and stopped the carriage.Chen Guan got out of the car steadily, straightened his clothes, and called for the door.

The carriage was accompanied by eight attendants, all of whom were well-dressed and skilled. When they heard the words of the "master", they all got off their horses, and one of them stepped forward and called for the door.

Chen Guan raised his head and looked at the place. The house is not big, but it is very quiet.It is far away from the official road, but it is not isolated from the crowd, and the surrounding trees are lush. Although the leaves are not growing at this time, it reminds me of the scenery in spring and summer, and there is a faint fragrance of plum blossoms in the courtyard.

After many days of trekking, a trace of exhaustion had already flashed across Chen Guan's face, but in a long robe with wide sleeves, his appearance was tall and dignified, his face was peaceful, and he was even more elegant and calm.

Such a side is kind.

After being suppressed by such torture, there was no trace of resentment or injustice in his eyebrows, and his personality did not become extreme or intolerant. He was still calm and relaxed, and it was very rare for people not to see the slightest bit of violence.

The idea that "images arise from the mind" is not a mere secret belief.It is important to know that a person's face will briefly show the reflection of inner emotions. If a person is in the same emotion for a long time, such as anger, fear, or pessimism, this short stay will be prolonged.Psychological emotions will continue to affect people's facial expressions.

When the Ren family servant opened the door, he saw Chen Guan standing beside the carriage, and his first impression was very good.After listening to Chen Guan's words, saying that he had an old relationship with his old master, he didn't see any negligence at the moment. After receiving the famous stab and asking his name, he went in and reported.

Ren Xiang, the eldest son of Ren, first heard that the person's surname was the ancient name Jiao, and immediately knew that it was a pseudonym.The ancient reef is also an old friend.After opening the famous thorn, I immediately applauded in my heart, it is really a good calligraphy.

It does not follow the pattern of the ancients, and has its own flavor.The book is awe-inspiring, with brass and iron bones.The ancients had a saying: Words are like people.Read his book, you can know his person.Now his father's old friend, just by seeing his characters, he can know the strength of integrity.

Looking at the text again, it is an old poem by Huang Tingjian - Die Lian Hua
Haijiao Fangfei couldn't stay.The pen is full of wind and flies into the blue clouds.Xianlu is famous as a gift from heaven.Zhijun career arrangements to take.

To know the smooth road in the world.Let everyone have peace of mind.The black hair met Lord Yao and Shun.The laughing man returns to Nanmu with a white head.

Ren Xiang first went to see his father with his famous thorn, and the latter's character also changed.The jealousy and hatred I felt back then have mostly disappeared now.Seeing the famous assassin, Ren Boyu immediately knew who it was.Immediately, he opened the courtyard door and welcomed Chen Guan and his party inside.

"Yingzhong [Chen Guan's word] is so brave, dare to come to this tiger's lair and wolf's lair, don't you know that your head today is worth two thousand guan."

Ren Boyu's joke made Chen Guan laugh out loud, "Since De Weng knows how powerful he is, why don't he tie me up and send me to the government office to receive a reward?"

"The elder brother will have to pay for Yu Yingzhong's life in the future." In today's situation, how could Ren Boyu not know who the master of Hebei will be in the future?He didn't mention his old friendship with Chen Guan in the past, and he said bluntly that he would not report it for the sake of the future. "Does Yingzhong go deep into the lair of tigers and wolves to make a big plan? Li Miao and Li Yansi, the pacifier of West Road, are extraordinary people."

There is no money and food in Zhending Mansion, and the money, food, fodder and soldiers on Hebei West Road have been swept away by the Western Army long ago.The west army on the Houbei Road went south, and Hebei was empty.

Li Miao expected that the Liangshan army might violate the border. If he recruited soldiers to defend his territory, he had less than 200 soldiers and less than 23 million money at that time. stick to it.The big gentry of Zhending also relied on Li Miao as a shield. In a few days, they got 11 guan in money and [-] shi in millet, and recruited thousands of brave people...
