The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

"Get up with clear water, let's see off my brother."

The two sent Yang Jian out of the gate, waved goodbye, and then returned to the hall.

Yang Lin pretended to be unintentional and asked: "Since the imperial concubine moved to Genyue, has she ever felt more at ease? The few times I saw her look like a vegetarian in worship of the Buddha, it made people feel distressed."

Speaking of this, Liu Qingshui was in a better mood, and said: "When we arrive at Genyue, we will no longer be subject to Liang Shicheng. My sister can often go home to visit her relatives, and she feels much happier."

Yang Lin rolled his thief eyes and said, "That's good, that's good."

Liu Qingshui lay down on the railing with his arms pillowed, and asked: "Dalang, you said how happy our brothers are, why do we want to marry wives and have children? I can't live well if I am like this. had a son"

Yang Lin chuckled and said, "With a son, you are mature. This time, I went to Jiangnan and tried my best to find my son. Although I traveled through mountains and rivers, I was very happy in my heart. Since ancient times, flesh and blood are connected by blood. If there is no one A son and a half daughter, so what's the point of living."

The two brothers had a long talk, when a fast horse was galloping down the official road.

The next day, the school lieutenant was sent to urge his horse into Bianliang, bringing news of the war in the Southwest.

When the news of the Dali war came, Bianliang was boiling again. It turned out that the reason why the Song Dynasty had been aggrieved for so long was to break out together.

The good news came one by one, it has not been long since the Western Xia Dynasty was destroyed, and the victory of the Taimiao is still the talk of the people.

At this time, there was news that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty had conquered the capital of Dali. Although they were not such old enemies as Xixia, it was enough to make people feel very encouraged.

Yang Lin, who made it happen, once again showed his prestige in the temple, and Zhao Ji beamed with joy.

Shenzong Zhezong was conscientious and diligent in state affairs, but in the end he also hit a wall everywhere.

I am romantic and happy, carefree, kicking jujube, painting, growing flowers, and visiting the garden, all of which have achieved great achievements from the sky.

Only the Chosen One has such auspiciousness. I am not the Holy Master of the Heavenly Firmament Palace, the Great Emperor of Longevity, who is it?

Just above the Golden Palace, Zhao Ji personally bestowed on Yang Lin the honor of the Golden Gate Feather Guest, to attend the morning in the Hall of Harmony, and the royal families must avoid it when they meet.

Yang Lin repeatedly declined, and only received the first two titles. As for the prince and clan giving way to him, he firmly refused.

After the dynasty was over, Yang Lin went straight to Gen Yue, and found Zhao Ji to talk about his three steps to destroy Dali.

Zhao Ji granted him full authority to deal with this matter, took command of the southwest, and continued to enjoy himself happily. Now he is sure that Yang Lin is his servant, and he is even more indifferent to state affairs.

Yang Lin frowned, thinking to himself that it would not be a problem in the long run, but let's talk about it after finishing the important matter at hand.

After returning to the mansion, a series of government orders were issued from Yang Lin's study, and all the roads, armies, and prefectures in the southwest were all moving towards the border, and a purge that swept Dali was about to begin.

Li Yunniang brought people in, brought in basins of ice cubes, stuffed them into the dark room, wrung out a handkerchief herself, stepped forward and said, "Da Lang, I've been tired for a few days, let's have a good rest tonight."

Yang Lin took the handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked, "Where's Yang Tianle?"

"In Madam Miao Lian's yard, I slept well."

Yang Lin nodded, walked on the woman's plump body with his big hands, and said: "For state affairs, I have been absent for three days. You send someone to the Li Hotel tonight and call me Duan Miaozhen. Now she is the last When she is grateful to Master, she will definitely serve her well. When she knows the truth, don't even think about it."

Chapter 221 Sweeping the World's Old Celebrities

Daqing Hall, early dynasty.

It will be the Zhongyuan Festival on July [-]th soon. Taoism has the "Three Yuan Theory", "Heavenly officials go up to the Yuan to bless, the local officials in the Yuan forgive sins, and the water officials go down to the Yuan to relieve evil, so the name "Zhongyuan" comes from this. Come.

Now that Zhao Ji and his powerful minister Yang Lin are devoted to Taoism, this festival has become more important.

Yang Lin stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, the Hungry Ghost Festival will come soon. "Seven" is the number of resurrection. There is a saying in the Book of Changes: Repeating the way, seven days to come back, and the sky is going. Seven is the number of yang and the number of days. After the yang energy between heaven and earth is extinct, it can be revived after seven days. This is the way of heaven and earth, and the principle of the cycle of yin and yang.

The old minister thought that your majesty should change the old and usher in the new in July, following the ambitions of his father and brother two generations of former emperors, there will be some changes in the court. "

Zhao Ji was very excited and asked, "Yang Qing continued."

"At the beginning of Xining, there was an edict to change the names of the princess, princess, and county owner. It is better to be like Zhou. The princess can be changed to Emperor Ji, the county owner to Zongji, and the county owner to Clan Ji. The one who is called the elder is the Dachang Emperor Ji, and the name of the country is still changed with the two words of good name. In four words."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji thought it was too elegant, nodded frequently and said, "This is a very good statement! The Ministry of Rites will present a charter to me before the Hungry Ghost Festival."

Lan Congxi came out to lead the order, glanced at Yang Lin, and silently retreated to his place.

The officials below were frightened when they first heard that he wanted to change the old and usher in the new. They didn't know what kind of trouble he was going to make. When they heard that it was just such a trivial matter as changing the princess's name, they let go of their suspense.

The corner of Yang Lin's mouth curled up, thinking in his heart that I would first paralyze you all without pain or itching. Forming a party for personal gain, ignorance of flexibility, resulting in impoverishment of the country and the decline of the country. I hope that your Majesty will depose the ministers who harmed the government, and there will be no punishment. The barbarian examines the crimes, and publishes the stone, which is placed on the east wall of the gate of the Wende Palace. It will be the ring of the courtiers forever."

With a coaxing sound, the officials were in an uproar, Liang Shicheng's hands and feet trembled in anger, Zeng Bu's face was pale and his lips were pale.

Cai Jing's face sank like water, he took a step suddenly, and said, "My minister seconded the proposal."

All eyes were fixed on the big and small officials, but no one noticed the satisfied look in Zhao Ji's eyes.

To attack the old party is to maintain one's orthodox position and eliminate the power of the late queen mother.

On this point, only Yang Lin, Cai Jing and a few courtiers could see clearly.

Zhao Ji sat on it, and only said one short word: "Yes."

Cai Jing and Yang Lin didn't look at each other, but the tacit understanding is still there. This time, they join forces to kill Zeng Bu first. As for the subsequent division of power, each will rely on his own ability.

Shortly after Cai Jing came to Mingtang after an earthquake-like early morning, a fresh list of traitors was released.

Your Majesty is benevolent, sage and heroic, obeying the rules and exalting meritorious deeds, showing the good and averting the evil, so as to show the martyrs.The minister dares not to resign his life, but to uphold His Majesty's ambition of filial piety and fraternity.Sikong Shang Zuopushe and Cai Jingjin, the servant of his sect.

Yuanyou traitorous party, the first line is someone who used to be a senior official of the Zaifu, Sima Guang is of course the first, there is no suspense.The others were all deceased prime ministers, who were alive on the traitor stele, including Zeng Bu, Han Zhongyan, Su Zhe and others.

Others who have not served as ministers cover most of the famous officials in the Shenzong and Zhezong dynasties of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Qin Guan, Zhang Lei, Liu Anshi, Zhu Guangting... more than three hundred people, big and small.

In today's scholarly literary circles, Su Zhe, Zhang Lei, Huang Tingjian and other surviving people are outstanding, pillar-like figures. After leaving the court, they did not ask about political affairs, but unexpectedly they were dug out and branded as traitors. .

Yang Lin takes the lead, Cai Jing becomes bigger, and a big reckoning begins.

These people are old disciples, spread all over the government and the public, and occupy many important positions. If they are not pulled out to make them stink, even if they retire, they will still have influence.

One radish and one pit, Liang, Cai, and Yang ruled the court today, how could they be allowed to continue to control these yamen.Liang Shicheng inherited part of the old party's political resources, which is why he is so powerful.The other two are a bit shabby, which is why Yang Lin picked things up.

Although Cai Jing and Yang Lin had a rift, their interests were the same on this point.

Their power is not directly proportional to the vassals under them, and they are bound to seek more supporters. The two of them don't need to communicate in advance. When Yang Lin was determined to do this, he knew that Cai Jing would definitely stand up.

Zeng Bu is the only official still in office in the traitor party of Zai Fu, and now he can only be expelled from the court in a disgraceful manner.

They also resisted, and the Manchao Shu wanted Fu Que to play the book, with a great momentum, and asked His Majesty to severely punish Cai Jing and Yang Lin, two traitors who harmed the country, but were all beaten back by Zhao Ji.

Yang Lin lay on Xiangfeizhu's woven chair, crossed his legs and listened to Xu Zhichang's report, and said with a smile: "Zeng Bu is old, and letting him resign and return to his hometown is an act of respect for the elderly. If it was in the past, I would let him Dow Jones eats miasma."

On the banks of the Bian River, chariots and horses are in parallel, and young men in Tsing Yi are everywhere.
