Chapter 6 Leisure
Updated: 2010-04-03
Chen De, who was focusing on Zhao Jing, did not notice the reactions of other court officials, and was still crying for justice to Zhao Jing: "That sister loves young people is natural. Although Zhang Qi is considered to be more important than me and has more than ten times more money than me, I really don't know that he also favors the Qinhuai red card. If I had known this, with Zhang Qi's reputation on weekdays, how could I dare to compete with him?"
The visits to prostitutes by literati and doctors in the Southern Tang Dynasty were romantic. The leisurely joy depicted in the night banquet of Han Xizai once fascinated future generations. However, it is extremely abnormal to bring such past events in the court. Chen De himself is a military general, and it is safer to make Zhao Jiong despise him than to pay attention to him. Compared with Qiu Ba, Zhang Qi, who is in a noble position, is completely different. What embarrasses him is that he can't remember whether Chen Deqiang has passed by his fan head or his fan head stolen.
Unconsciously, what made him even more worried was that Chen De, who threw his jar and pulled out the two of them, and they were both old ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty. This was what Xu Xian, Zhang Qi and others were most afraid of when they entered the Song Dynasty. It also seemed that Zhang Qi was a cold-hearted person who was not missing the old love. Zhang Qi secretly looked at Xu Xian in the past, but Xu Xian did not look squinted, and looked like he was not related to him. Zhang Qi was very regretful that he could jump out and bit Chen De's stone that came out of the toilet.
What's even more annoying is that the more you debate this kind of romantic affairs becomes, the less clear it is. Zhang Qi can only shout for wrongdoing like Chen De. The difference is that Chen De still stood firmly on the ground when he was calling for wrongdoing, while Zhang Qi almost crawled on the ground and shouted loudly, as if the person who was falsely accused of treason was not Chen De but himself.
Zhao Jiong was a little happy for Chen De's defeat, but Zhang Qi was unpredictable and bitten by Chen De. It seemed that something was wrong. He couldn't help but feel disgusted with him. Fortunately, he thought this man was a gentleman on weekdays, and he couldn't help but snorted heavily in his nose and said in a deep voice: "Since you two are ministers in the same palace, you should think of serving the court. How can you make those dirty things noise? It's really a minister's morality and both are punished for one year.
.” After he had an attack, Chen De looked so frightened and thanked the Lord for his kindness, but Zhang Quan was secretly vomited blood. He was not like Chen De's foreign towns to help. These Southern Tang ministers entered the Song Dynasty and had not yet established a stable foothold. They were even excluded by the original civil servant system. They had no fat and did not dare to be polite to others. Therefore, they took it seriously and lived a life of their salary throughout the year. This year's salary was gently punished by Zhao Jiong, and Zhang Quan's family was probably going to be beaten for a while.
Zhao Jing knew that the punishment seemed to be 50 pieces each, but in fact, only Zhang Qi was in pain. Looking at Chen De standing in the military squad, looking at his eyes and nose, he was even more like the meat of the hobs than Zhang Mei and Liu Yan, and he couldn't help but want to find a way to deal with him. His expression was seen by Prime Minister Zhao Pu, and he went out to work and said, "Your Majesty, there is the Chen family of the Yimen of Jiujiang County. Since the foundation was established, he has been based on loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness, and diligence and thrift.
Reading family inheritance, building book churches, establishing family rules, respecting friends and neighbors, and harmonious family. Since the former Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, he has received two honors. The old ministers thought that if there are filial sons in the family, the country must have loyal ministers. In this way, a virtuous family should send a senior official of the court to praise him." While he made a memorial, he looked at Chen De standing beside him, and saw Chen De's hair standing upside down, and he thought to himself: "I only have the name "Chen" and it has nothing to do with the "Yimen" of Laoshizi."
Following the flow, Zhao Jing immediately said: "The loyalty and filial piety of Yimen of Jiujiang County should be praised for their successors. Chen Qing has been stationed in the northwest for a long time, so he traveled to Jiangnan on my behalf and awarded a golden plaque of Yimen Chen's family."
As soon as the words of gold and jade were opened, Chen De could only bow to receive the order. The court officials next to him were gloating, but he cursed secretly. The tolerance of this era was no better than that of a plane in later generations. It was a long time to fly to Hainan, and it was a difficult journey. If he was a patrol for the emperor, he could still get some gift bags from local officials. However, along the way, the government officials of the Song Dynasty and the Yimen Chen, who was already a moral model in the world, would he give himself a good face to the governor of the vassal state? Even if Chen De had to think about it, he wanted to get it.
Seeing Chen De retreating from the court officials with a frown, Zhao Jing felt happy. Although the Anxi Jiedushi was unable to move him for the time being, he had to run back and forth without causing trouble for his Northern Expedition plan. After all the foreign ministers retreated, Zhao Jing lowered his face and asked, "After Chen De entered the capital, can he have any sex with Li Yu and the old ministers in Jiangnan?"
Wang Fu reported: "This person only travels on both sides of the Bian River every day. He always hangs in the market, and specializes in asking about various goods transactions, just like a businessman after years of business. He has never made any friends with the ministers, and the neighboring Longxi County Duke's mansion has never visited him. He only sent his soldiers to send Li Yu a hundred pieces of silk and silk and two jars of golden melon seeds." Li Yu was still very generous when he entered Bianliang. In recent years, the extortion of senior executives of the Song Dynasty
He came to the house with his old ministers in Jiangnan to fight Qiufeng and almost broke his family's fortune. Even some singers and dancers who entered the palace with Li Yu were asked by the self-proclaimed elegance of the Song Dynasty bureaucrats. In addition to a few old and weak servants in the mansion, he was the only one left in the mansion, and his life was quite miserable. Chen De also heard that Li Yu's life was quite difficult, so he ordered the soldiers to send money and silk, both public and private, as they were.
Zhao Jing nodded and sighed, "Although Chen De has a bad temper and is still a nostalgic person. He is also tactful and sensible. If he flirts with Li Yu, he will urge his former master to die. Such good ministers and generals cannot be used by me, which is due to luck." Although the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed by the Song Dynasty, the court still had a strict surveillance on Li Yu, because the Han people in the Central Plains were deeply obsessed with the truth and had been through five dynasties.
The Hu tribe in the north called himself a son emperor, and even the books of important ancestral temples were moved to Shangjing by the Khitans. Gunyan claimed to be Zhengshuo because he was a little guilty. The Li family in Jinling, Jiangnan claimed to be the orthodox Tang Dynasty, and actually won the hearts of a group of people. Even foreign countries thousands of miles away actually regarded the Tang Dynasty as Zhengshuo. Zhao Jiong was most concerned about the word Zhengshuo, so humiliating Li Yu was not completely a cat playing with a mouse.
Zhao Jiong was in charge of the southern yamen of Kaifeng Prefecture. He was used to seeing all kinds of things and people of all kinds, and had learned the ability to see people and recognize talents. Otherwise, he would not have the ability to promote a new Jinshi, and almost gradually changed the officials of the Song Dynasty from local to six ministries. He heard Wang Wei report what Chen De did. This person values friendship, is not fond of extravagance, and is not greedy for power. If this person is in his pocket when he is just starting out, he will be a capable minister. But this person has been repeatedly turned around.
He first served in the Northern Han Dynasty, then turned to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then led a large army to the Han Dynasty and captured Hexi. He gradually became a hero with the support of his subordinates. Just as his elder brother was forced to wear a yellow robe, at this point, many things have become tigers and the world is driven by the general trend. Even if Chen De himself wanted to be loyal to the court, he would not believe him. The good ending would be like the King of Money to live in Bianliang for life, and the bad ending would be given a cup of poisoned wine and pacify the vassal states. This is the benefit of the court.
Zhao Jiong instantly extinguished the idea of subjugating Chen De, and then asked: "What's the situation in Hexi?"
Wang Ludao: "After General Dong handed over Lingzhou City to the Anxi Army, the troops under Chen De's command had already scattered and eaten, and there was no situation where hedgehogs gathered in Lingzhou and threatened Guanzhong."
Cao Bin said, "When Chen De's troops left Lanzhou, they plundered the people and nine out of ten houses. The people sold land and land one after another. Thanks to General Tian's warehouses and grain, they could save the people from danger. Otherwise, this winter, the people in Lanzhou would not know how much they would starve to death." These situations were reported by Tian Qinzuo, but how could Cao Bin not know the truth? Tian Qinzuo allowed his subordinates to occupy fertile land in Lanzhou, and many of the households in Lanzhou were once again reduced to landless tenants.
Zhao Jing smiled and said, "These rude military men love to make money." But they no longer pursued the matter, and instead discussed with Zhao Pu and Cao Bin carefully for the military ration reserve for the Northern Expedition to Taiyuan two years later.
When Chen De returned to the mansion, he told Huang Wen that he was about to honor the Jiujiang Yimen on behalf of the court. Huang Wen said happily: "Really? I have left my hometown since I was a child and never went back." She was originally from Jiangxia, but since she was taken over as a palace maid in the chaos, she has never returned to her hometown.
Chen De rarely saw her showing such joy. He thought that this trip to Jiangnan was a miserable man. He smiled and said, "Since we are going with us, we will walk slowly, traveling along the way, searching for strange things, and living in the world." He speculated selfishly that Zhao Jiong should also hope that he would walk slowly and not return to Bianliang so quickly to get annoyed.
Before entering Bianliang, Chen De either discussed military strategies with his generals during the day, inspected various battalions to show his confidants, or worked hard outside. When he returned to the mansion, he always had to think carefully about the pros and cons of various decisions. He occasionally had time to find some military books and strategies at this time, or notes from previous generations, or reading the strange stories of the Western Regions at night. Since Huang Wen followed him, there has been almost no time for his husband and wife to travel together. Now he has the opportunity to make some compensation, and Chen De was extremely happy.
After coaxing Huang Wen to the point of laughter, Chen De just turned to the study room, attracted Zhang Zhongyao, and told him the situation in the court today. Zhang Zhongyao smiled and said, "Following today's situation, even if the officials are willing to reduce the vassals of Anxi, they are willing to endure it before the war in the east are settled, and they are helpless to the adults? Only by making the adults work hard to show their happiness." With the words, they were full of contempt for Zhao Jiong. People were so strange. When he was once full of hope for the Song Dynasty but was abandoned, his original favor and admiration turned into contempt, and even hatred. Even Zhang Zhongyao, who was both civil and military, could not avoid the vulgarity.
