Song Beiyun

Yang Wenguang's expression was dignified and confused, because judging from the current situation, he might be fed as a pig.

Song Beiyun moved a chair and sat in front of the sand table: "What's the matter? The Liao Kingdom's anti-insurgency army hasn't moved yet?"

"No, it hasn't been moved for nearly a month, so the rebel army was divided into two parts, and they were trapped in Taishan and Qufu respectively. Now they have formed a siege, but they have never attacked. "

Song Beiyun didn't care about the simulated battle situation on their side, but carefully observed the real battle situation. The Liao Kingdom obviously didn't plan to attack the rebels who were close at hand. Instead, they kept increasing their troops to surround them in this area. Get sneaky.

"One month, the rebel army should last another month or two at most before running out of food." Song Beiyun frowned: "Do you know what the rebel army will do when they run out of food?"

Zhao Xing glanced back at Yan Shu, Yan Shu lowered his head and took a mouthful of noodles, and said in a low voice, "Eating people."

"After winter, drive the rebels to a place where there is no food left and besiege them." Song Beiyun squeezed his chin with one hand: "Tsk tsk tsk, ruthless people. People are eaten by the rebels, and the benefits are gained by the Liao Kingdom. "

"What do you mean?" Zhao Xing also gradually realized the weirdness here: "You mean that the Liao Kingdom deliberately drove the rebels there to eat people?"

Song Beiyun didn't make a sound, but Zhao Xing shuddered: "Fo Baonu is so damn cruel, you can't do it if you let me do it."

"Fo Baonu is ruthless, that's really ruthless." Jin Ling'er said at this moment: "I don't know how to fight, but I know Fo Baonu. She can do it."

Supporting his body, Song Beiyun arranged the flags above them a little bit, and after frowning for a long time, he slowly raised his head and uttered four words: "Mie Kong Qingyuan."

As soon as these four words came out, the scene suddenly became silent. Everyone read the books of sages, and no matter how unhappy they were with the Confucius family in Shandong, they would be somewhat tainted with incense.

But now that this came out, it immediately made people feel that the whole body was covered with ants, and they felt uncomfortable up and down.

The Song eradicated Buddhism, the Liao eradicated Kong, and Jin eradicated Taoism. All of a sudden Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism were severely injured.

"Oh...it's troublesome." Song Beiyun crossed his arms and thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid they are not going to start a revolution."

If the intention of the Liao Kingdom this time is to destroy Confucius, then in other words, they want to start the era of contention among a hundred schools of thought just like the Song Dynasty. The situation in the Song and Liao countries is different. If the Liao Kingdom forcibly wants to open this copy, then the following may It was more than ten years of turmoil.

But if they succeed, two big countries dominated by materialism will suddenly appear in the land of China...

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, Song Beiyun dare not make a conclusion casually, but if the two parties take a slightly different route... Have you heard the story of the German Workers' Party and the Maozi Workers' Party?

But now is not the time to think about it for such a long time. At this moment, the Liao Kingdom is using a knife to kill people and get rid of the entire Confucian base.

And no matter what the future holds, as long as they do this, the Liao Kingdom can basically be sure that it is an orthodox dynasty.

In other words, when Song Beiyun was seeking unification, the Liao Kingdom was also doing the same thing.

"This will not make them successful." Song Beiyun slapped the table vigorously: "It's time for the feudal society to come to an end."

After finishing speaking, Song Beiyun straightened up: "Yang Wenguang."

"I am humble!"

"I order you to take 5 troops and go to Shandong immediately." Song Beiyun planted a flag on Mount Tai: "The name of sending troops is to protect the root of China in the Central Plains. They will go in across the board and bypass the defense line of the Liao Kingdom. Before they react, Eliminate the Liao rebels."

Zhao Xing blinked: "No, what's the use of keeping the Kong family? Let me tell you, if the Kong family is gone, it will be gone."

"The Kong family is gone, you can't say that you are orthodox in China! The round and flat ones are determined by the Liao Kingdom. Do you really think that they purged the Kong family simply because they didn't like them? The reason why the Kong family is swaying now is because there are Many people lean towards Da Song. If you lose orthodoxy, you will have no chance whether it is on the battlefield or at the negotiating table in the future." Song Beiyun sighed: "You really think that you can ignore this orthodox one with a big fist status?"

In the fight for unification, the one who loses the orthodoxy is an illegal regime, no matter how weak the opponent is, orthodoxy is orthodoxy.Throughout history, what ethnic minority regimes are most afraid of is orthodox status, and even in the future, such as the Xiongnu Fenghan Zhengshuo, the Xiongnu will become part of a unified multi-ethnic China.

Zizhi Tongjian said: "Qin Wangjian was determined to take Jiangdong, and Yangping Gongrong remonstrated: 'If you are content, you will not be humiliated, and if you know how to stop, you will not be perilous'. Not to return to people. Although Jiangdong is weak and only remains, but the Chinese are orthodox, and God’s will will never cease."

Hu Sansheng said in the explanation of Zizhi Tongjian's commentary: "It is said that the sky wants China to be passed on from Zhengshuo to legend, and it will not be returned to Yidi."

In other words, without this orthodoxy, people will not recognize you as China.At that time Song will become a Nanman!If it was forced to unify at that time, it would become a southern barbarian invasion.At that time, you can refer to Meng Yuan for the situation, they will really fuck you.

Now let Yang Wenguang lead [-] troops to attack Huanglong.The name is to protect the roots of Chinese orthodoxy from being overwhelmed. If something happens urgently, it will come to the door to apologize afterwards because of the heart of China.

As for rashly invading other countries, it’s still the same sentence, in a hurry, in order to prevent the root of Chinese civilization from being harmed by the rebels, how should the Song Dynasty compensate after the end, and it will never pretend to be dead.

"Is 5 people enough?" Zhao Xing suddenly raised his head and asked, "What about the 20 Imperial Guards, a bit more."

"[-] elite Imperial Guards of the Great Song Dynasty, how much do you want to fight tens of thousands of local rebels?" Song Beiyun took out a tiger talisman from his pocket and was about to throw it to Yang Wenguang, but turned around to find that Zhao Xing was also taking out a tiger talisman there.

"Hey! Yours is the female one, and mine is the male one. Your female one will not work well when it meets my male one." Zhao Xing threw the Tiger Talisman to Yang Wenguang: "You must order troops immediately, The approval documents from the Ministry of War and the Privy Council will arrive soon."

Yang Wenguang was a soldier, so he didn't care who took out the tiger talisman, as long as it was a tiger talisman, he would recognize it.Dang even saluted with blunt feet, turned around and strode out of the palace.

"By the way, will the Liao Congress go to war with us because of this?"

"Let's go." Song Beiyun was not nervous at all, just stared at the sand table and said casually: "Now Song Tong's voice is even louder, they rashly provoked a war, we will join her, saying that Liao Shenzong intends to split China, and there are hundreds of soldiers. Wan tried to cross the river with the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty flatly refused, and fought against the Liao Kingdom across the river in the name of helping the unification of China.

"You scholars are really dirty!" Zhao Xing spat, "You can still live if you are dead."

"Then what should we do?" Song Beiyun sighed, "I guess Fobaonu will come and arrest me once this is over."

"Then what are your plans?"

Song Beiyun pondered for a moment, then looked back at Jin Ling'er: "Run away!"

"Are you healthy?"

"It's fine, it's fine, it's fine if it's not. If I'm really caught, I'll die if I don't die." Song Beiyun coughed a few times and said, "She lost her temper and even cried and made trouble and hanged herself."

Hearing this word, Zhao and Yan Shu immediately understood and empathized with each other.

"Then I won't keep you." Zhao Xing pondered for a moment: "I'll see you in a few days..."

"Thank you Lord Long En, but it's not necessary. You can calm down, Da Song is about to enter the second stage, you can control the situation safely, please." After Song Beiyun finished speaking, he held Jin Ling'er's hand : "It shouldn't be difficult for Yan Shu to take care of the rest. I'm on vacation."

"Are you really throwing troubles at us, and you enjoy yourself?" Yan Shu snorted coldly: "All of you are really not human anymore."

Song Beiyun didn't care about that, and ran out with Jin Ling'er...

You must be fast, accurate and ruthless in running away, otherwise just wait and see, when the matter comes out, once the Liao Kingdom reacts, Fo Baonu will definitely eat Song Beiyun alive.

And you can't go directly to Chang'an if you run away, you have to go to other places to avoid the limelight, or you will wait for the judgment of fate.

The speed of sending troops in the Song Dynasty was very fast, and the new military system emphasized rapid response. It only took one day from the counting of troops to the distribution of food and grass talismans, and then to the departure of the army.

Because now there is no need to mobilize talented people from the dispatching place, but to use grain and grass talismans to adjust grain from military granaries in various places, so it can be started with very little grain and grass, replenishment along the way, and then deploy in advance at the last section of the front line, and prepare corresponding troops. resource.

In this way, the army is lightly loaded, and the speed is extremely fast, and it can play the effect of surprise soldiers in any way.

But this is not something Song Beiyun should consider, he has to run away...

"You're finished." Sitting in the carriage, Jin Ling'er said to Song Beiyun, "Fo Bao Nu will have to kill you when the time comes."

"Kill it, blame her for being the Emperor of Liao and I for being Song Chen." Song Beiyun smiled wryly and said, "It would be great if they could be unified sooner."

Chapter 869: Rain on May 4, Ten Years

On a spring day in Lin'an, the wind and rain are pervasive, and the Goulan of the theater on the West Lake by the Broken Bridge sings the melodious and moving love of the White Snake. Although the Legend of the White Snake has existed for a long time, this is the first time it has been sung from a woman's perspective.

This was originally a play intended to cater to the young lady Kuo Tai in the city, but because the actor on the stage was Shang Baiyu, who was the head of the Qinhuai Four Talents back then, all the gentlemen also fell in love with this tender play that only girls like.

"Miss Shang is truly magnificent."

In the private seats under the stage, someone said lightly: "It's a pity that I left that boat and became a good family, otherwise I'm afraid the old tree will sprout new shoots."

The others clapped their palms and laughed, and after laughing, they took a sip of the Mingqian Longjing, playing with a string of fragrant beads from Tubo in their hands, and asked after a little thought: "Brother Pan, didn't your son say that you want to take an exam?" , but how?"

"Don't mention it, that bastard has been naughty since he was a child, taking the exam? As far as his virtue of not being able to read a basket of words is concerned, the exam is a joke. Now that there is no donor, I want to understand it. He just wants to do business with me, and if he manages well, he won’t starve to death a hundred years from now.”

"Alas..." The businessman next to him also sighed: "It's the same with my dog. He failed to achieve anything in the three years of exams, and now he only has to pass the exams if he wants to be an official. This has made my family restless. He also suffered a serious illness because of this incident, and almost passed away."

The two looked at each other, and suddenly sighed together, they couldn't even watch the drama on the stage, as long as they thought of the unsatisfactory things at home, they felt very sad, and wished they could go back and hang that unsatisfactory dog ​​now Hit the beams.

Now this problem is not unique to their family. The whole Song Dynasty is facing such a problem, that is, the merchant's family can't compete with those scholarly families after being allowed to take the exam.

Being an official is much more glorious than doing business, but the children and grandchildren in the family are really not up to date, especially in this land of Hangzhou.

Hangzhou is no different than other places. It has been a prosperous province since ancient times. Silk, embroidery, tea, etc. are all competitive industries. Even the Xu family can't get any benefits here. The number of wealthy businessmen is the largest in the world. Throwing a stone down is the owner of a lot of money.

But now this group of rich people are facing the problem of their children's studies, and this headache makes them very uncomfortable.

"Brother, I heard the boss of the Huo family mention it before, saying that the child can't get into public school, so it's better for us to jointly fund a school by the West Lake, and invite you to teach us yourself. "

"Didn't the imperial court forbid it?"

"I've really thought about this matter. The upper echelon of the court said that it is not allowed to run a school privately, but their school is not the same as ours. We don't recruit students from outside. We just gather our own children together, at most it is considered a bigger one. Private schools, the imperial court didn’t say that they won’t allow private schools, did they?”

"Huh? That's a good idea. Go and recruit some people. Let's take care of this. Just open your mouth for how much money you want."

And at this moment in Jinling City, Zhao Xing was reading the report of this period in the study, and the maid brought him pear soup. He just tasted it, then put down the bowl and chopsticks, raised his head and said to Ding Xiang: "What did you say? How about that Bao Xiren? The third one on the gold list, I heard that he is from the same school as you?"

"That kid is not bad, but I am a little puzzled. Why did he come back to Jinling to take the exam after studying in Chang'an?"

"Chang'an is too difficult." Zhao Xing sighed: "I had nothing to do that day, so I asked for Chang'an's test papers to do it. Guess what?"

"I don't know."

"Hey, I know all the characters on it, but I don't understand them together. In the past two years, more and more people have come back here from Chang'an to take the exam. I'm afraid this is the reason."

"Well, it is indeed difficult." Ding Xiang nodded and said, "The reason why the old minister wants to retreat is because the minister is almost unable to understand."

Zhao Xing laughed and said: "Bao Xiren is from the same town as Song Beiyun, and it is said that he is also related to Hongwen's Beipo Bachelor. I took a closer look at him at the time, and this kid is really good. He even wrote me a letter Letter, the superiors suggested that I rewrite the Three Laws, separate civil and criminal punishments, and then separate industry, agriculture and commerce, and then gradually each line becomes an independent law. Hey? Didn’t I transfer it to you?”

"The old minister has seen it. The idea is remarkable, but it is not feasible now. The establishment of the code of law cannot be implemented at a stroke of the head. It is a matter of mobilizing the whole body. Only those cases that have not been settled can be changed according to the judgment at that time. After that, the code still needs to be continuously improved from generation to generation, and it will take a hundred years to become a code. Otherwise, people will take advantage of the loopholes, which is a legal loophole. If you get involved, you will be in great trouble, and if there is no basis to follow, you will not be punished, and random judgments are more harmful than breaking the law."

"Oh...a headache." Zhao Xing patted his head: "Does Prime Minister Ding also think that small bag is okay? If so, I will approve it and put it in Dali Temple. You will take him with you when the time comes."

"Everything is subject to the official."

"What's up to me? Experts are up to it. I'm an outsider who understands his grandma's legs." Zhao Xing laughed at himself, "I can do whatever Ding Xiang thinks."

"The veteran thinks that it is best for young people not to enter the Dali Temple. First, they should go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to practice for two years. People who practice the law must first understand what punishment is and what is governance, so that they can see the fate of those who break the law. It’s good to be intimidated.”

"Um... OK."

Zhao Xing rummaged around on the table, found a register, found the name of the third Bao Zheng along the top, drew a circle on his name, and wrote three words "Warden Secretary" on the back. ".

In fact, in today's exams, those who are from scholarly families and aristocratic families are still the most on the list, but because there is no messy system for recommending academic officials, now these people are all admitted by themselves.Moreover, the number of children of ordinary people's families is increasing year by year, showing a good trend.

And the most interesting one this year is probably No.11 on the gold list, Ouyang Xiu, 15 years old.He didn't even get the title yet, so he got No.11 on the gold list. Although it is a literary list and not a rational list, this 15-year-old is still very eye-catching in the crowd.

However, although he got a good grade in the test, Zhao Xing didn't tick him off, because this kid is Yan Shu's apprentice. In Yan Shu's words, he knew that this kid was a genius when he was in high school when he was a teacher. Well, those who don't know probably want to talk about the shady plot of the court, so Ouyang Xiu will not report on his work for the time being, and he will evaluate it after two years of practice.

After chatting with Ding Xiang for a while, Zhao Xing told him to go back first, but at this time, Pang Ji, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, happened to walk away with Ding Xiang.

He walked in and stood beside him and said to Zhao Xing: "The imperial counter-insurgency army has arrived in the Haizhou area and will go to Mount Tai and Qufu in two routes within seven days, and ordered the strange soldiers to go through the waterway to ensure everything is safe."

"What about the reaction from the Liao Kingdom?"

"I haven't noticed my movement yet. Yang Wenguang has always been good at using surprise soldiers, so he should not be discovered."

"Well, what do you think of this incident? I want to hear the Privy Council's thoughts."

Pang Ji was silent for a while, and then said: "Master Xia, the privy envoy, went to Haizhou in person a few days ago, and I dare not speak falsely about the superior."

"Okay, let's stop doing this. You two really have a lot of free time. You are both from Song Beiyun's lineage, and you are also fighting among yourself?" Zhao Xing frowned and said: "If this continues, you will be defeated. I am going to abolish the Privy Council."

Pang Ji knelt down to Zhao Xing with a bang, prostrated himself in front of him, and repeatedly blamed himself. Zhao Xing waved his hand: "Song Beiyun recommends you two because you are indeed talented, but he may predict that you are not suitable for temperament. No, I can see that you two can't be together. How about this, you and that kid Fan Zhongyan switch, you go to Yushitai, and he goes to the Privy Council. Anyway, you are both from the Song Beiyun Department, so it's easy to talk."

"I'm terrified, long live my emperor Xie, long live, long live..."

After that, Pang Ji no longer dared to talk nonsense, and told Zhao Xing his understanding and thoughts in detail.

In his opinion, Song Beiyun's overall policy is not wrong, but if 5 people directly enter the Liao Kingdom, an unprecedented conflict between Song and Liao may break out, because the reasons given by Song Beiyun are far-fetched. The so-called protection of China is fundamental. The reason for this is untenable, at least in the eyes of Liao.

And if an army enters the territory of another country without permission, it can be regarded as a war. Whether the Liao country starts the war is their business, but if this incident was started by the Song country, it cannot be justified legally. In the end, it will win or lose. Be criticized.

"That's the truth, so what's your suggestion?"

"Going back to the official's house is simple, but it's simple. You only need to make a step for the Liao Kingdom."

"Oh? Tell me in detail."

"Song and Liao intersect in Haizhou, and Haizhou and Mount Tai are only separated by Langya County. We only need to notify the remnants of Liao rebels to invade Haizhou and plunder villages, and then inform Langya County. The garrison in Langya County is only 170 people...they There must be no way to deal with it. At this time, we will use the reason of urgency to pursue the rebels to Mount Tai and Qufu. Even if the Liao Kingdom launches an attack, we will have something to say."

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said, "I found out that you don't have a single good person in the entire Song Beiyun family."

Pang Ji chuckled, because he knew that this was definitely a compliment, and everyone in the court knew very well that the officials would only say that others are not good people when they are happy, and if they are angry, they would say, "You are all good people, then I am a good person. Let's just be that bad guy" like this... and usually when he is a bad guy, the good guy on the opposite side is basically cold.

Although this Zhao Xing seems to have a lot of power, he is still one of the absolute core of the Song Dynasty. Everyone knows that it is okay to disobey Song Beiyun, but you need to find a legitimate and suitable reason, and Zhao Xing is absolutely not one of them. He can be disobedient, because he is a king, and his judgment is right and wrong.

"Okay, let's do it like this, hurry up. After this matter is done, go to Yushitai to report on your work."

"The minister obeys the order."

Zhao Xing watched him leave, feeling a little bit emotional in his heart. Song Beiyun is really an amazing person, but all the people he recommends are top players without exception, no matter how unbearable the outsiders say, no matter how poor their character is , but abilities are all first-class existences.

Let’s talk about this Pang Ji, his father was the late Pang Taishi, a loyal and brave man in the Cambodian court, and Pang Taishi’s son was a soft bone who had been joked about for many years. Without Song Beiyun’s sponsor, Zhao Xing would not have used this to his death. Kind of rotten.But it was such a soft-boned person who cooperated with Yan Shu to pacify the Southwest, check and balance Bashu, and contain Tubo. Step by step, without using the family's power, it took more than five years to reach the position of Deputy Privy Envoy by virtue of his merits.

And that Xia Song, who was born in the Chang'an Department, came up to integrate salt and iron, rectify official style, expand armaments, and optimize farmland, and it took less than five years to become a privy envoy.

There are also Fan Zhongyan, Zhong Shiheng, Lu Yijian, etc., but those who can be written by Song Beiyun with a name are now shining with gold in the court.

So much so that Song Beiyun even confirmed Ye Tianzi's statement because of this, because as long as Song Beiyun and his family were all dealt with, half of the Great Song Dynasty would be gone.

However, people who say that Song Beiyun forms a clique are also big-headed, because there is no rule to find his recommenders. There are people from all over the world, and there are even people dug from the Liao Kingdom, and what's more, such as Pang Ji. Those who admire Song Beiyun will also be recommended, this theory of clique formation and exclusion is really beyond words...
