DAY 100 The Historian Talks
Weng Tong? He has always used his own resources as the emperor to discuss political affairs. He took a step back when he heard this. Everyone knew his usual behavior, so he would not ask him about such things. Chongshi and Yuan Jiasan "Han Xizai used the strategy of self-destruction as a way to settle down. In the Southern Tang Dynasty, he served as the minister of the household and ministers and ministers. He had no prime minister but had the power of the prime minister, but he had no plan to present to the king. He only knew how to behave in the king and secretly acted villains, and used female officials in Qinhuai to slander other countries, so that the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Later Zhou Dynasty could not join forces to fight the enemy, so as to plant the cause of the destruction of the country."
The emperor was also very clear about this history. Han Xizai always refused to be a prime minister for Mingzhe, and even left him with a humorous reputation in the country. It is said that he had more than 40 concubines in his family. He was old and weak and could not take care of him. These concubines always kept a couple - many of them were still the default of Han Xizai.
Li Yu naturally could not let him be the prime minister of a country, but as Chongshi said, Han Xizai had no prime minister and had the power of prime minister. The first thing he criticized was two things most. The first was to use the female officials of Qinhuai to seduce the envoys of the Later Zhou Dynasty and do ridiculous things.
During the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, an envoy named Tao Gu was sent. His position was the Minister of War, the Hanlin ruler, and was envoyed to Jiangnan. In name, it was because there were many steles of the Six Dynasties in Jinling. He came here to observe calligraphy, but in fact it was to peek at the reality of Jiangnan.
At that time, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty was still the Emperor of Yuanzong. He was very polite to the envoys from the Later Zhou Dynasty. He did not want Tao Gu to regard himself as an envoy from the country. He was extremely arrogant in his words and was as arrogant as 20,000 to 20,000 to 80,000 all day long. Even when facing the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he did not change his arrogance. For Li Yu, he only called him King of Wu.
At that time, Li Yu's brother, Prince Wen Xian, died of illness. Li Yu was changed from King Zheng to King Wu and moved to the Eastern Palace. He was the invisible prince. Tao Gu's words were so disrespectful that the ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty were very angry and wanted to kill him with his majesty. Han Xizai came up with a beauty plan and began to implement it.
At that time, Tao Gu had been in Jiangnan for several months. During the day, he rode his horse and used the name of visiting the monuments to defeat the morale of Jiangnan. The weather was always good. At night, the guesthouse was lonely and desolate, and the taste was not so good.
Han Xizai deliberately found a very beautiful family and asked him to send it to the guesthouse to serve Tao Gu. Who knew that he would send it back the next morning. There was also a letter of thanks written by Tao Gu, which was written in four or six styles. With Han Xizai's profoundness, he was still puzzled.
This couplet is written like this: The beauty of Wushan is coming, and the clouds are invading the birds; the demon girl of Luopu arrives, and the moon fills the gulf." The goddess of Wushan, Luopu girl naturally understands, what does this invading the birds mean?
After asking, I found out that the company happened to be red letters, and it was impossible to achieve good things. In this way, the beauty plan naturally failed. So Han Xizai made a second deployment.
The second arrangement was a bit troublesome. First, I asked Tao Gu to live in another guesthouse, and then a female Qinhuai official dressed up as the daughter of the Guanyi Office Chief, and cleaned the courtyard with a broom every day. That's not all. Han Xizai deliberately asked the woman to cover her face with a light velvet, leaving only a pair of crystal clear and lively eyes outside.
Tao Gu is an evil ghost among the sexes. He soon noticed it. After many inquiries, he realized that the woman's name was Qin Ruolan, the daughter of Yicheng. She married a poor man three years ago. She didn't want her husband to study too much, and she got hemoptysis and died soon.
Qin Ruolan was determined to be a widow, but the walls of his husband's family were so cold that he had no choice but to go back to his mother's family to live for a long time, helping his father do something in his spare time.
Tao Gu was overjoyed. The physiognomy said that if a woman who defeated her husband was a concubine, it would be a different matter - if she could get this girl to entertain her old age, it would not be bad.
After such thoughts, he put in a lot of effort, which made Qin Ruo Lan Yingying cry and was quite moved. After half a month, Bianliang sent someone to summon Tao Gu, and it is said that he would return to the court to report his life, which would be of great use.
Han Xizai received the news and congratulated each other with wine. Tao Gu had a big temper. This time he was even more arrogant and even though he ordered his entourage to pack his luggage, he ignored the guests.
At night, I heard someone knocking on the door. The door was Qin Ruolan who was thinking about day and night. As soon as she entered the door, she blew out the candlelight and threw herself into her arms. She felt that she knew her encounter and repayed her with her body. However, her reputation was related to her, so she came to see her when it was late at night and quiet.
Tao Gu never thought of such a blessing. When Xiangze first heard this, he breathed finely, everything seemed like a dream, and it made people feel like they met an immortal.
After a night of love, Qin Ruolan got up and dressed up at dawn, and said to Tao Gu that he hoped to leave some ink marks. As a comfort for missing after parting, Tao Gu was full of complacency and was about to vent his words. However, time did not allow him to carefully conceive, so he wrote a small lyric called "*Guang Hao".
This poem is written like this: Good causes and bad causes and conditions, so I have to sleep overnight at the mailing pavilion and part with the gods. The pipa is full of lovesickness, and I have few soulmates, and then I will continue the rubber of the phoenix to break the string. What year will it be?
After writing the delivery to Qin Ruolan, Tao Gu's spirit was put on the parting. A few days later, Li Yu held a banquet and practiced it for him. Tao Gu still did the same at the banquet, and he was very arrogant and did not say or laugh, which made the guests and hosts particularly embarrassed.
Li Yu was angry and ordered someone to take the glass bell - this is a crystal wine cup inside and outside, with a diameter of five inches and a foot high - it is filled and can accommodate three liters of wine. Not to mention that people like Tao Gu who are not good at drinking, they are often called massive amounts. After drinking a cup, they will probably turn into a pool of mud immediately.
Tao Gu naturally didn't drink it, and Li Yu was not in a hurry, "It seems that there is a song to persuade him to drink, so Lord Tao has just admired his face. The song is passed on."
The Jiaofang had already been waiting. When he heard the summons, a song came to the hall, holding a sandalwood board, and stood at the banquet. It was Qin Ruolan.
Tao Gu immediately knew the bad things, but Qin Ruolan looked at him as if he hadn't seen him, and sang in a singing voice. He said, "Good cause and bad cause and condition", which was clearly the song "*Light Good" he wrote.
Everyone knew it clearly and looked at Tao Gu. Seeing that his face was blue and white, he looked restless, and his usual majesty had long disappeared.
After singing a song, Qin Ruolan led the eunuch to persuade him to drink: "Sir, please do this cup of wine?"
Tao Gu knew that he could not bargain, so he bit the bullet and drank a huge cup of wine. Who knew that Li Yu still refused to let it go, and ordered, "Good things come in pairs, so I will persuade Lord Tao to have a cup."
Tao Gu really couldn't drink it anymore, and he repeatedly refused to refuse, and finally annoyed Li Yu. He ordered the eunuch to force his hand, pinch Tao Gu's neck and pour it down.
He was already shallow in the stakes and was drinking too fast, so he quickly rushed up, vomiting heavily, making a mess and losing his manners.
That's not all. During these days, Li Yu sent people to Kaifeng to spread Tao Gu's romantic activities in the Southern Tang Dynasty everywhere. The song "*Guang Hao" also became a yin lyrics and romance that is heard in the streets. Of course, the content of how to drink wine will not be said, but it just said that Tao Gu was drunk and drunk when he was holding a banquet for the King of Wu, and was in a mess, and lost all the dignity of the great king.
The result was that the ruler of Later Zhou originally intended to summon Tao Gu back to his country and reuse it. After this incident, he believed that he was a disgraceful person and had no responsibilities. This kind of destiny that he should have was also cancelled.
However, when later generations talked about this, they believed that although Tao Gu was very arrogant, Jiangling, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was the place where elites from all over the world gathered. They should be careful of the way of loyalty and forgiveness of the saints, so why do they use this inferior method?
The second thing he did was to support Zhang Wei (Yin Ji) who was talented and talented to serve as a mission to the Song Dynasty. This was even worse
Zhang Wei is indeed a rare scum in history. He is even more so than the ministers of Northern Qi at the same time. He is the ancestor of the historians who are "the most evil people, and the dirty words"?
During his mission to the Song Dynasty, he was defeated endlessly. Later, he colluded with Zhao Pu and killed Lin Renzhao, the best martial arts master of the Southern Tang Dynasty who had always regarded as a major concern for the Northern Song Dynasty, making it impossible for a country to lead troops to compete with the Song Dynasty. Finally, it also led to the tragedy of the country's destruction.
Later, the Northern Song Dynasty sent Cao Bin as the head commander and Pan Mei as the deputy head commander, and led troops south to defeat Zhu Quanbin, the commander of the Southern Tang naval army, on the front line of the Yangtze River. Zhu Quanbin was defeated and committed suicide by jumping into the water. Chen Qiao, the minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty who was the political affairs at the time, found Zhang Jue.
It turned out that three months ago, the two had a gentleman's agreement that once Jinling was not protected, the two would die together in order to avoid falling into the minister's reign. Zhang Qi agreed casually. When the navy was defeated, Chen Qiao came to Zhang Qi and asked him to practice Su Nuo together.
How could Zhang Qi die? He agreed in a random manner and went to the shelf of the Privy Council to store classics, charts, and books. Zhang Qi put two white silks on it, first served Chen Qiao to ascend to heaven, and then went downstairs secretly - he thought he was doing very well, but he didn't expect that there was a minor official who did whatever he did, and naturally, Zhang Qi's shameless behavior finally went all out of the world.
Yuan Jiasan also said on the side, "Han Xizai served the Southern Tang Dynasty and was very grateful. However, his actions were all unquestionable. I also thought that what Master Chong said was like, Han Xizai and Zhang Shi, who recommended him, were old ministers who were the same relatives as the country, but they did not know how to serve the country's lord. Instead, they ran around for their own personal gain. Later, they tried to persuade the country's lord to surrender. Whenever I read history here, I felt angry and furious. I really wished that he could bear to the person underground and criticize him in person to show his depression."
The emperor nodded and smiled, and pulled the topic away again, "Zhang Fu stayed for two positions in Jiangsu Xuezheng. Although he was a little uneasy at that time, I dare not ask for full blame. Last month, he submitted another memorial, saying that he was old and asked the court to allow him to retire and return home. I asked the Military Affairs Office to discuss this matter. It is said that Zhang Fu was very determined to lie down, so I also approved what he asked for. As for his lack, Yuan Jiasan, I think, let you go."
Yuan Jiasan's heart moved and hurriedly knelt down, "Yes."
"A part of Jiangnan is the first tax area in the Qing Dynasty. Although you are studying politics and not managing this level, you have the responsibility to correct the people and educate the people. In recent years, you have put some thoughts in the revitalization of culture and education in Beijing, and you have gained a lot of experience. This time you go to Jiangnan, you must vigorously rectify the extravagant customs of Jiangnan."
"Yes, I must remember my thoughts."
"Also, the railway paving matter will be officially launched between Jiangning and Shanghai by May this year at the latest. As a province, you must inform the people and do this properly. Discuss everything with Guiliang and Huang Zonghan. If you have any difficulties, you must also appease me as appropriate. The most important thing is that the railway project is allocated huge funds by the imperial court. Whether it is the province or the officials sent to the Beijing Central Committee to raise money, if you dare to ask for money or get money, you don't have to be polite to them. If you are accused of the name, I will give you this right."
"The emperor's sage virtue is as good as the heavens, and I am impressed by the ministers."
"Also," the emperor chuckled and looked back at Weng Tong beside him. "Next year is the year of the provincial examination. Weng Tong is afraid that it will be the period for the examination. Yuan Jiasan, although Weng Tong is both talented and well-educated, you are working in the study room with him, but don't be favored?"
Everyone looked at each other and smiled. Only Yuan Jiasan dared not express any joy. "I and Brother Weng are both civil servants in the study room, but they are also friends of gentlemen, and they dare not use their personal relationships to select talents for the country."
"You can think like this, which shows that I ordered you to study in Jiangsu and get the right person." The emperor asked Yuan Jiasan to stand up and said to him, "I know that you are also a scholar. You must always keep in mind the peace of Xin'an and Jinxi in your actions, and keep the 'realization of the sage of sages of conscience as the sage of sages', and emphasize practicality. You must not act like a dissolute act. You must remember it."
"I have recorded all the teachings of the emperor's heavenly words."
On the second day of the third month, the palace was busy, with people coming and going, and the mountains were filled with boxes. Everyone felt unstoppable excitement in their hearts. Finally, the palace was not a place for a long time. Moreover, most of the relatives and friends were in Beijing. They just thought of reunion from far away and said that they had been separated for the year. They felt like they were returning home like an arrow and their souls flew over.
On the morning of the fourth day of the lunar month, the emperor's chariot started his journey, and the imperial chariot left Lizhengmen, heading north all the way. After only thirty miles on the first day, he stopped at the Kalahetun Palace - after that, he had to go in a separate way.
The concubines in the harem were protected by Sun Ruizhen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Minister of the Interior. They entered Juyongguan, passed Miyun, and entered Beijing. The emperor's imperial guard turned east, and came to Prince Gong Yi who arrived at the palace to meet Prince Gong Yi, Military Affairs Office, Jae Yuan, Minister of the Imperial Court, and Minister of War Bai?, and others followed him and turned to Tianjin. The emperor wanted to go to the Dagukou Fortress on the front line of the coastal defense to see the new artillery that had been placed and completed.
As early as the Kangxi period, a complete patrol system was established. Although he was traveling, he handled government affairs as usual. When Dang Yi and the Minister of War in Beijing came in, the Governor of Zhili, Naer, had already rushed to the palace from Baoding. He removed the big hat from the hall and turned to the emperor. He performed a great ceremony for the monarch and ministers with three kneelings and nine bows. "Old slave, the acting Governor of Zhili, Naer, bowed to the emperor, long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live
The emperor looked down. Nar's forehead was of medium figure, and his face looked very beautiful, red, like a baby. It can be seen that he was well maintained in the direct administration. "I have seen the memorials you have submitted. Last month, I asked the Military Affairs Office to tell you that I went to Tianjin this time, not to appreciate the beauty of the scenery of the capital, and that you don't have to be extravagant. lest the people suffer from the trouble of disturbing them again. Why..."
He picked up a white-skinned memorial and wrote a piece of the memorial, "...Why do you still have to do these things? You wrote, 'The people of Tianjin are so happy that they hear it. There are grain merchants and salt merchants who voluntarily lose sincerity. Bian Wu's feelings are beyond words.'" The emperor put the memorial aside, and he said, "What's the feelings of Bian Wu, but it's not the forced enslavement of Tianjin Prefecture? In the end, my love for the people was completely lost. Not only did I want to see some real people's livelihood and people's feelings, but I also painted all the pictures."
Nar replied with his head, "Emperor, I think that the common people have a saint's heart, and their feelings are not false. Tianjin is close to the capital, and since the high temple, the people have not known the heavenly face for a long time. This time, the emperor's jade toe came, and the people were grateful for the sage virtues and had a little reward. Not only can they fully fulfill the intentions of the monarch and ministers, but they will praise them in the future, but they are also a great joy to broaden the door." He touched again and said, "The emperor remembered the people of Tianjin with filial piety, so he could have the things asked by the people of Tianjin?"
The emperor thought for a while, "I have accepted this filial piety from the people. However, the things that welcome or accept the driver will save him. The state affairs are heavy, and I don't have so much time to stay in Tianjin. Wait a few years, wait a few years, and wait until the world is calm and the storage is abundant. Even if you don't mention it, I will go down and take a walk."
"Yes." Nar'er was naturally ordered to be honest, "The emperor is wise and has a good king. The slaves think that there is no need to wait a few years later, and now all the people say that the emperor is wise and wise, like the blessing of heaven, and it is the time when the emperor moves all over the world."
The emperor burst into laughter, "Forget it, I know your thoughts, let's go down."
