Chapter 32 Chapter 394 The last shift

In the Palace of Wende, Zhao Kuangyin was having a sutra banquet, discussing knowledge with Lu Duoxun and several scholars. Today's topic is etiquette. Several scholars quoted scriptures, such as the emperor's ceremony, father's ceremony, and husband's ceremony, especially the respect of the ruler as a minister. The content is really unconstrained and unconstrained, and it penetrates into it. And Lu Duoxun is also working as an errand for the Internal History Museum at the moment, so he has already inquired about the articles and classics that Zhao Kuangyin has read in the past two days, and saw today's Jingyan, the official brought Princess Yongqing to accompany him for the first time. Zhao Kuangyin's intentions are as clear as a candle, so he has a target, casually speaking, all of them are husbands guide wives, husbands sing and wives follow, husbands and wives respect each other as guests, how mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along, and the moral principles that peace is the most important thing are all in Zhao Kuangyin's favor.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded frequently, and interrupted him from time to time to ask questions. One monarch and one minister answered rightly, and then someone wailed at the gate of the hall: Zhongguan, I have something important to see the emperor. time has passed Zhao Kuangyin vaguely heard the voice, turned his head to look at the hourglass beside him, and couldn't help laughing: I had a good talk with all my lovers, but I even forgot the time. , please step back. Yes, the minister and others will leave.Lu Duoxun and others hurriedly left the table to salute Zhao Kuangyin and retreat one by one.

Zhao Kuangyin sat up straight, coughed and said: "Who is making noise outside the hall?" All the servants knew that Wang Jien flicked his hand and hurried to the outside of the hall. After a while, he came back with a strange expression, his cheeks twitched and he said: "Official family, Prince Yunzhong Zhang Ji is waiting outside the hall." oh?Zhao Kuangyin asked suspiciously: what is he doing here?Don't let him in. Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said again: "Daughter, do you listen to the truth that Lu Xiang and several university scholars said?" Zhao Kuangyin didn't see Yongqing's answer after saying that. He turned his head and saw that Princess Yongqing was still resting on the table with one arm, her chin resting on her palm, and she seemed to be listening with gusto.Zhao Kuangyin looked curiously at her face covered with her palms, only to see that Yongqing had his eyes closed, the corners of his mouth curled up, breathing faintly, dreaming of Duke Zhou.

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help being angry and funny when he saw it. He slapped the desk and shouted: It's time to wake up. Um?Princess Yongqing opened her eyes sleepily, and said joyfully: Are you finished? Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: I listened to "Li" today, isn't it because of you?Last year, soldiers went to Fujian, Han and Jiangnan, and there were many wars, even your marriage was delayed, now it's time to take care of it for you.When your royal brother returns from victory, I will arrange the marriage for you. From now on, you will marry and be a wife, and serve your parents-in-law. Your husband is a prime minister, and you are a dignified princess. If you don't learn etiquette well, won't you be ridiculed by your parents-in-law when you get home?Who knows you

Princess Yongqing yawned and said: Oh, don't worry, father, my daughter will definitely learn the etiquette well. Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: "Learn while asleep?" Yongqing said confidently and confidently: "The spring is tired and the autumn is exhausted, and the few university scholars are always in love with each other. After talking, my daughter fell asleep." oh?then summer The summer is scorching, eating ice melon, sleeping on a mat, lying in the wind pavilion, blowing the wind, a big dream Oh, dad, you hit me again Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: Then tell me when should you learn etiquette.

Officials, the new Dahonglu Yang Hao is rude! Zhao Kuangyin turned his head to look, and couldn't help but be surprised. He saw Prince Yunzhong Zhang Ji wearing a crumpled court dress and an official hat with only one wing on his head. His face was bruised and under his nose The dried blood was held in one hand, as if holding an invisible broken bowl. Princess Yongqing laughed and quickly covered her mouth. Zhang Jie stepped forward, greeted him with a mournful face, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Officials, the new Dahongyu Yang Hao is rude!" ah?What's up with him? Okay, okay, I know he's being rude, why is he being rude?

Zhang Ji said with a mournful face: This is not what I said. Who said that? Officials, official families, the new Dahonglu Yang Hao is rude! As soon as Zhao Kuangyin raised his head, he realized that it was the rogue parrot standing in Chengchen learning his tongue, so he couldn't help flicking his sleeves angrily and said: "Don't pay attention to it."You said, why is he rude? Zhang Ji swallowed his saliva, and said: Your Majesty, against your orders, Hou borrowed 500 guan from your ministers, and agreed to return the principal with interest on the sixth day of this month.But he refused to repay the debt due to his disobedience, so he went to his house to collect the debt.As a result, Da Honglu passed by there, and he didn't know what happened, so he jumped out of the car with a lame leg, picked up the washbasin and beat Chen up.

Princess Yongqing laughed again and quickly covered her mouth. The rogue parrot on Chengchen seemed to have just woken up, it shook its tail, and imitated the tongue vividly: it jumped out of the car with a lame leg, picked up the washbasin, jumped out of the car with a lame leg, picked up Basin Zhao Kuangyin rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Yongqing, throw your bastard out!" Princess Yongqing giggled, and hurriedly hissed a few times. The parrot got the master's order, so it spread its wings and flew out of the hall. Basin In the hall, Zhao Kuangyin asked Zhang Ji what had happened, he couldn't help being furious, and said: "It's only natural to kill people and pay debts. Besides, even if you are at fault, what does this matter have to do with him?"The majestic imperial court ordered officials to scuffle and fight in the street, losing all the dignity of the official, it's too shameful!

Zhang Ji said with a mournful face: "Officials, I didn't fight with Mr. Yang in the street. It was Mr. Yang who beat me as a minister, but I didn't fight back. Look at the officials, these are the teeth of the minister." He stretched out the hand he was holding. Zhao Kuangyin was even more furious: This Yang Hao is really lawless and should be severely punished, should be severely punished. Zhang Ji said in tears: "I beg the officials to be the masters of the ministers." Zhao Kuangyin said: "That's natural, I will definitely punish severely, and give Zhang Qing a fair one, Zhang Qing can rest assured."After Zhao Kuangyin spoke viciously, he said kindly to Zhang Ji: Zhang Aiqing knows the general, not as knowledgeable as that rough man, very good, very good, she is a scholar after all, alas, people who are not polite can't keep up with the cultivation of character. You compare.Zhang Aiqing, with your current appearance, you should go back to the residence to rest and recuperate. I already know about this and will never let him go. As for you, you don't have to go to court for a few days, and we'll talk about it after your injury recovers.

Zhang Ji quickly thanked the emperor for his kindness, and said generously: "I eat the imperial salary, and I am loyal to this official family. A small injury is nothing to worry about. I will not miss my official business because of this." These words are righteous and eloquent, but it is a pity that two front teeth are missing, and the effect of speaking is a bit leaky. Zhao Kuangyin said with a pleasant smile: "Aiqing is loyal to the country, and I am very comforted."Aiqing, hurry back to the mansion to rest, I will give you justice in this matter. When Zhang Ji retreated with gratitude, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but shook his head and laughed and scolded: "This Yang Hao looks a bit like I used to draw swords to help when I saw injustice when I was wandering in the rivers and lakes. It can't be done, but his character is very good, but it's a pity that he became disabled

Zhao Kuangyin added another sentence from the bottom of his heart: It's a pity that he came from a bad background and belonged to the Nan Ya school, otherwise, such loyalty and goodness can be used by me. Princess Yongqing sat up straight and said: "The bad white fish that Yang Hao gave him is really delicious. This person's character is really good. Alas, he is quite a good person, why is he lame?"But daddy, this Zhang Ji is too despised. No matter how you say it, Li Yu is his old master. It's also a bit poor and ugly, which is really chilling. Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly and said: This person's character is indeed contemptible, but this person's talent is indeed not bad.To make the best use of people and things, the emperor should have the heart to accommodate all rivers.This Yang Hao, I want to teach him a lesson. Princess Yongqing said: "Daddy, Yang Hao beat Zhang Ji violently because he despises his character. If Daddy punishes him severely, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of all loyal people in the world." Zhao Kuangyin laughed and said: "King Khitanqing rebelled, if Dad joins forces with him, it would be of great benefit to our Song Kingdom, but because he is a traitor, Dad will never have an affair with him."Now what Yang Hao did, how could father be too harsh? How does daddy plan to deal with this matter? Well, father, punish him for three months first!fine him half a year's salary half a year?so many! For others, of course it is a lot, but for Yang Hao, it is just a drop in the bucket.His daughter Yixiao Lou is making a lot of money every day, does he still care about this little money? Zhao Kuangyin snorted coldly, and said again: King Qian is about to go to Beijing to pay tribute again, I asked him to preside over the reception of this matter, so he will retire as the official of Honglu Temple.At such an age, he ranks in Jiuqing, and I don't treat him badly.Alright, alright, don't bother with the affairs of the court, here, take this back, and memorize it within three days. Yongqing took it over and asked: What is it? She opened it and couldn't help screaming: "The Commandments for Women"?Dad, there are more than a thousand words! Zhao Kuangyin raised his face and said: How much is more than a thousand words? "Women's Rules" has more than 30,000 characters, and it only took the queen half a month to recite it backwards. His tone slowed down, and he said earnestly: Yongqing, you are about to get married, and you are still so naughty and ignorant of etiquette, how can it be done?Even if you are a princess, once you become a wife, you should serve your parents-in-law, serve your husband, take care of your family, and be a good wife and mother.You should not only memorize this "Women's Commandments" by heart, but also savor and ponder them carefully, so as to truly remember them in your heart.Take it and study hard! Song Ting held a grand state banquet to welcome King Qian of Wuyue with unprecedented grandeur. The scale of Wuyue King Qian Chu's pilgrimage to Beijing is also unprecedented. There are more than 20 large ships, filled with various tributes, including at least 300,000 taels of gold, 200,000 pieces of silk, 50,000 catties of frankincense, and gold and jade treasures. Five thousand pieces, thousands of bottles of fine wine It seems that Wuyue King Qian Chu is determined to join the Song Dynasty. He brought his wife Sun and eldest son Qian Weijun, and made it clear that as long as Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict, he would stay in Kaifeng and offer Wuyue to him. All the ministers knew that this time the eldest son of the emperor, Dezhao, led the army to the north, and he would surely return with success. Chen Hongjin from southern Fujian, who suffered from the enemy after the Southern Han Dynasty fell into the hands of the Song Dynasty, has also obediently surrendered. Looking at the entire Central Plains, only Wu Yue is still a complete The state power, so they issued secret letters one after another, asking the officials to issue a decree to comfort and keep Qian Chu, and the world will be unified. But Zhao Kuangyin didn't know why, so he kept all the memorials and refused to publish them. He didn't comment on the matter, but asked Yang Hao to treat Qian Chu with the greatest standard. Yang Hao was suspended from his salary for half a year. Although the court's salary is generous, it is of course an indifferent punishment to him.These days, he asked Miaomiao to gradually transfer the business of Yixiaolou to Zhang Niuer and Lao Hei.Let Dong'er, Yuluo and Miaomiao make all the preparations for moving. During this period of time, Luo Kedi came to look for Yuluo when he had free time, which made it very difficult for Yuluo, who wanted to distance himself from him but had no excuses. Fortunately, Luo Kedi is now the commander of the infantry. Shi, who is in charge of the safety of the entire imperial city, is busy with military affairs, and there is not much time to find her, so she reluctantly prevaricates it. General Niu Qianwei Li Zhongyu was limited by the predicament of the Houfu, so he really asked Yang Hao's door. Yang Hao generously donated money and gave him funding. The friendship grew stronger. Yang Hao didn't lend him money for nothing. Although he didn't ask Li Yu for a cent of interest, and he didn't urge to return the money he borrowed, he often invited the couple to visit and shop in the daughter country, even though Li Yu has lost his wings now. The phoenix, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and his reputation is still there. In addition, Empress Xiao Zhou is as beautiful as peaches and plums, known as the number one beauty in the south of the Yangtze River.When she was in Jiangnan, she led the trend of Jiangnan's clothing and jewelry, but the clothes and jewels that Xiao Zhou liked would soon become popular in the whole of Jiangnan. Touring the Daughter Country and presenting them with some valuable gifts attracted the gentry and rich men in Kaifeng and the ministers to flock to the Daughter Country. They all used the same brand of clothing and jewelry as Li Yu, the lord of Jiangnan, and Xiao Zhouhou, the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan. proud of.As a result, the income of Daughter Country has doubled, and the profit has far exceeded Yang Hao's gift to Li Yu. In the first few days after Yang Hao returned to Kaifeng, the turmoil caused by his return from the dead just subsided, and the acceptance of rewards and the arrangement of banquets had also ceased, so he invited several famous doctors to treat him, and he received a doctor who had a leg injury that was difficult to heal. The proof was reported to the official family, and he earnestly asked to resign again. Now Zhao Kuangyin has received a positive answer: after King Qian of Wuyue returned, he was allowed to serve as the official position of Dahonglu. Yang Hao was overjoyed, so he calmed down and started to take care of the matter of welcoming Wu Yue and Qian Chu in a down-to-earth manner. Today's state banquet was grand and solemn, all the important people with heads and faces arrived, the house was full of cups and cups, and the guests and hosts had a good time.Zhao Kuangyin, who drank a few more cups, blushed, got up with a smile and said: "My dear family, my dear family, I am overjoyed to have the money king come to court today."King Qian has always been respectful to me. How can I be less polite to King Qian?Today, I bestow upon King Qian two favors. When Qian Chu heard this, he hurriedly left the table and bowed to listen to the decree. Zhao Kuangyin raised a finger and said: 1. From now on, when King Qian is in court, he can go to the palace with a sword, but the edict is not named. When Qian Chu heard this, he quickly bent his waist even deeper, and said in fear: "I am afraid, I thank your majesty." Zhao Kuangyin said again: 2. According to the court system, Sun, the wife of King Qian, was canonized as the princess, Wei Jun, the eldest son of King Qian, was the son, and the daughters of King Qian were the princesses. Qian Chu was stunned, bent deeply and said: Your Majesty Long En, this is unprecedented, and I dare not accept it. Lu Duoxun, Lu Yuqing, and Xue Juzheng, the three prime ministers, whispered to each other. They had never heard of such a special case in the previous dynasty, so Lu Yuqing got up and said: "Your Majesty loves King Qian very much, and the ministers and others know it, but I ordered you to be canonized as a prince with a different surname." The wife is a concubine, and there has never been such an allusion. It seems a little inappropriate. The imperial court system cannot be easily changed. Please take it back. Zhao Kuangyin didn't take it seriously, and smiled flatly: "The kindness comes from me, why not?" Zhao Guangyi smiled lightly and said: You don't need to say any more, the official family is the master of the world, and we should obey what the official family says. Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed and said with a smile: "What the king of Jin said is reasonable, so he will be appointed accordingly."Guangyi, come here, you and King Qian should meet as brothers. Qian Chu was terrified, and waved his hands again and again, saying: "I dare not, I am terrified." But Zhao Guangyi stepped forward happily, smiled and said: "Guangyi has met Brother Wang." Qian Chu burst into tears with gratitude, and shook hands with Zhao Guangyi, tears streaming down his face. Yang Hao held his cup and looked on coldly, but he didn't believe that Zhao Guangyi, who had always thought he was the only one under the official family, would readily accept Qian Chu, an old man, as his elder brother. At the beginning, among the two brothers of the Zhao family, he originally admired Zhao Da's character and behavior more, so he despised Zhao Er, so it was obvious that he was born in Nanya, and he had a better future by relying on Zhao Er, and he always treated Zhao Er as if he was far away. He gave up many opportunities, but he still couldn't become his confidant. It was even different now, he had promised Bisu that he would create an opportunity to hand over the culprit who single-handedly created the Jiangzhou massacre and killed Shuiyue to him. When he looked at Zhao Guangyi, he was naturally somewhat hostile. Qian Chu looked at Zhao Kuangyin with tears in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty treats you courteously, but I really don't know how to repay you."In the autumn of this year, the ministers will come to see His Majesty again. Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said: "It's inconvenient to travel far, and I will come as soon as there is an edict. There is no need to make a special trip to meet." Lu Duoxun, Lu Yuqing and others quietly exchanged glances, the emperor has already read the secret letter of all officials, does the emperor still want to let Qian Chu go back?What are the officials planning for a country that is clearly within easy reach? After the banquet was over, Zhao Kuangyin personally sent Qian Chu out of the palace, and ordered Jin Wang and Zhao Guangmei's two younger brothers to personally send him back to the Courtyard.When the group of them left the Meridian Gate and all the officials were dismissed, Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Yang Hao and asked, "Yang Qing, is the last thing I want you to do, have you done it?" Yes, the minister is ready. Well you come with me. Yang Hao followed Zhao Kuangyin back to the palace, went straight to the palace, and arrived at an independent palace covered by trees. The servants all knew that Wang Jien was standing there respectfully holding a royal silk package. When he saw Zhao Kuangyin, he saluted and said: "Official family." Zhao Kuangyin nodded slightly, and Wang Jien followed behind him, walking side by side with Yang Hao. The hall was empty and there was no one there. Zhao Kuangyin stopped when he reached the heavy hanging curtain. Yang Hao limped forward and gently opened the curtain.I saw that the inside of the curtain was empty, except for one side of the stone tablet. There are only two big characters on the stele: commandment stone! Zhao Kuangyin walked in gently, walked around to the back of the stele and stood still, only to see dragons flying and phoenixes dancing on the stele, which were three lines of big characters carved out of Zhao Kuangyin's own calligraphy. Zhao Kuangyin gently stroked the large characters on the stele, while Yang Hao stood aside, unconsciously holding his breath, looking in awe at the mysterious stone stele made by him. All the descendants of the Chai family will not be punished if they are guilty.Even if there is a serious crime of treason, the whole family should not be implicated. They can only be put to death in prison, and they cannot be killed in the city. It is not allowed to kill scholar-bureaucrats who write letters and talk about things. If descendants keep this oath, Heaven will kill them. Zhao Kuangyin was deeply concerned, and felt that the person he could never forgive in this life was the Chai family. The first thing on the oath tablet was that if Zhao Song survived for a day, he had to treat the descendants of the Chai family well. This one was on his oath tablet listed first.The second one is related to state affairs. Since ancient times, even Tang Taizong, who is famous for accepting advice with humility, is only his personal style of handling government affairs, not the court's rules, but Zhao Kuangyin regards it as the rules of the Song Dynasty. . In the era of imperial power, it was not easy to dare to speak out to the emperor. With this, the way of remonstrance and impeachment can be relatively smooth. This is of great benefit to the emperor who is high above him. At that time, a feudal emperor could have such insight. It is extremely rare. This matter cannot be spoken and heard.After this stele is completed, all descendants of my Zhao family who ascend the throne as emperors can be led here by illiterate eunuchs to worship and read oaths. Yang Hao and Wang Ji'en, who were standing outside the veil, both said yes, and Zhao Kuangyin said again: "The craftsmen who carved the stele paid him a large sum of money, and strictly ordered them not to disclose this matter." Compliance.Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin wanted to leave, Yang Hao hurriedly took a yellow silk and put it on the stele. Zhao Kuangyin came out and said to Yang Hao: "The thing in this box is the secret letter that all the officials in the court persuaded me to leave behind King Qian. When King Qian returns to the country, you will give it to him so that he can secretly watch it on the way." Compliance.Yang Hao hesitated for a moment, then said: King Qian already intends to join him, why don't the officials keep him now? Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly and said: "When King Qian came to the future, he made a wish to the gods and Buddhas. If he returned safely, he would build the pagoda and return it. If he hasn't stopped thinking at this moment, why should he make such a wish?"If he is forced to stay, even though King Qian is willing to join him, there may still be people in Yuedi who will rebel.Wu Yue has always been respectful to me and has never been rebellious. I don't want Wu Yue to have another war disaster like Jiangnan.In time, more and more people in Wuyue will see the general trend. At that time, it will be more appropriate to accept Wuyue, so as to ensure that Wuyue's glory will not be destroyed in the war. Yang Hao said sincerely: Your Majesty is merciful. Zhao Kuangyin smiled faintly, glanced at him and said: But King Jin thinks it is a woman's benevolence for me to do so. He sighed, raised his eyes to look forward, and said in a low voice: Killing is to stop killing, not to show off.Being the Emperor of Qin and Wu of the Han Dynasty, although it shines through the ages, it is the common people who suffer.I am Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin is just Zhao Kuangyin, I don't need to imitate others, my world is governed by my own method! When he walked to the Meridian Gate, Yang Hao sighed softly. He sincerely hoped that Zhao Kuangyin could live in peace and security, but he didn't know when Zhao Kuangyin's brother who was deeply affectionate would make a move, and whether he could succeed?In his heart, he would rather be an enemy of Zhao Guangyi than Zhao Kuangyin. No matter what, I still have to go on my own way. As the officials say, everyone is himself and has his own way to go. There is no need to follow the shadows of others. Now that all the errands are over, step down After that, he will go back.Now, it's time for a showdown to Rock's enemy Yang Hao thought all the way out of the Meridian Gate, and inadvertently cast a glance at the guards standing guard at the Meridian Gate. He had a strange feeling, but he was thinking about how to talk to Luo Kedi to ensure that he would leave when he left safely. Let him know the truth, so he boarded the car and left without thinking deeply
