One Piece of Song Dynasty

Zhai Jin thought for a while and decided not to reveal the conspiracy between Liu Fa and Li Xin to his brother Zhai Xing. After all, the matter was of great importance and he was also prepared to participate in it. Zhai Jin was not sure of Zhai Xing's attitude towards the matter and rashly talked to Zhai Xing. Xing has spoken. If Zhai Xing disagrees, it will be troublesome. If Zhai Xing reports to the government, half of what Li Xin and Liu Fa have done will be wasted, so Zhai Jin plans to use the excuse of separating the family to break up with his brother. Zhai Xing parted ways for the time being, and will wait a few years to see the situation before considering a showdown with Zhai Xing.

If it is as Li Xin and Liu Fa speculated and Li Xin can achieve great things, then Zhai Jin's whole family will be a follower of the dragon, and it will be easier for Zhai Jin to persuade Zhai Xing.

Zhai Jin went home and found his eldest brother Zhai Xing, "Brother, so-and-so is back."

Zhai Xing nodded and said, "It's good to be back. Why were you out for so long this time?"

Zhai Jin replied, "I went somewhere else."

Zhai Xing asked, "I heard that Liu Fa's family sent someone to look for you before you left."

Zhai Jin nodded and said, "Yes, I asked someone to help them."

Zhai Xing said, "Well, Liu Jinglue treated you well during his lifetime, and you should also help his family."

Zhai Jin replied, "Brother, I have already been to Liu Jinglue's family this time and gave them some help. In addition, I also want to discuss something with my brother."

Zhai Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, what do you want to discuss with me?"

Zhai Jin thought for a while and said, "Brother, although I have been demoted and suspended, I no longer want to be an official. I am a little tired of officialdom. I want to resign and move my family to another place."

Zhai Xing was surprised and said, "You want to separate from me?"

Zhai Jin nodded, "Yes, brother, I want to take some people away."

Zhai Xing asked, "Where do you want to take your people?"

Zhai Jin replied, "A certain person wants to take his tribe to Jiangnan. A certain person has taken a fancy to a piece of land in Fujian. A certain person wants to buy it and move there, and then set up a branch for our Zhai family there."

Zhai Xing sighed and said, "Tell me, what did you encounter when you went out this time, and why did you want to separate the family?"

Zhai Jin said thoughtfully, "I traveled around this time and saw that people everywhere were not living well. There were many bandits everywhere and the government couldn't control it. I always felt that there were signs of chaos in the world. To be honest, I was an official in the imperial court." Over the years, I have indeed become a little discouraged, but the Jiangnan and Fujian areas are still relatively stable, so I want to lead my tribe to live a stable life there for a few years, and I hope my brother will help me."

Zhai Xing nodded and said, "Recently, there are indeed signs of instability among the people, and the court is also in a mess. If you want to separate the families, just separate them. The Fujian side is relatively stable, so that even if something goes wrong, we can still keep something for our Zhai family." Yes, but you must not go to Liangzhe Road. Liangzhe Road is the most severely affected by the imperial court's Huashigang policy. The people there are extremely unstable and will be easily affected if something goes wrong."

Zhai Jin angrily said, "Since the imperial court knew that there were signs of instability among the people on the Liangzhe Road, why didn't it stop the Huashigang policy?"

Zhai Xing sighed, "It's easier said than done. Nowadays, it's well known that officials like exotic flowers and stones. Who dares to write a letter to stop the Huashigang policy? It can range from being left out in the cold to being dismissed from office. So no one dares to write to the government to stop such harm to the people." With the policy, the current Great Song Dynasty is no longer the former Great Song Dynasty.”

Zhai Jin held back his anger and said, "Then what's the difference between today's officials and the ignorant emperor?"

Zhai Xing hurriedly said, "Shut up. You can just say this in the house. Don't say it outside. You are a military general and your status in the Song Dynasty is not high. If you say this again, you will easily be killed."

Zhai Jin cupped his fists and said, "Yes, brother, a certain family is being reckless."

Zhai Xing waved his hand, "Since you want to separate the family, go ahead and select people. However, there are tens of thousands of members of the Zhai family in Yiyang. It is impossible for all of them to go with you. You can just pick a few thousand people to take with you. The craftsmen in the family are up to you to choose." I can just keep half of it."

Zhai Jin knelt down and said, "Thank you, brother, for helping me."

Zhai Xing waved his hand, "There are a lot of things that need to be prepared to move a clan member's family, so hurry up and prepare."

In the next few days, Zhai Jin began to be busy with the family relocation, selecting people, preparing grain, gold, silver, carriages and other necessary items for the move. Zhai Jin may not have realized that the relocation of part of the Zhai family could avoid the death of the Zhai family in Yiyang. After the disaster of destruction, in history, after the Jin soldiers invaded the Song Dynasty, the two brothers Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin organized tens of thousands of Yiyang Zhai clan members to defend the Song Mausoleum against the Jin Dynasty. In the end, all tens of thousands of Zhai clan members shed blood on the battlefield.

After Zhao Yun found out that Zhai Jin was going to move his family to Fujian, he immediately understood Zhai Jin's plan, and immediately wrote all this in a secret letter and informed Li Xin.

Li Xin was very happy after receiving Zhao Yun's secret report, and immediately went to find Liu Fa who was training soldiers.

Li Xin held up the secret letter from a distance and shouted, "General Liu, good news."

Liu Fa saw Li Xin coming and asked, "My lord, what good news makes you so happy."

Li Xin laughed and said, "General Zhai's matter is done. This is the news I got. General Liu, please read it."

After reading the secret letter, Liu Fa nodded and said, "Zhai Jin has indeed lived up to the kindness a certain family gave him. Congratulations, lord, on getting another good general."

Li Xin cupped her fists and said, "Haha, we are all happy together. General Zhai is here and he is still your subordinate, General Liu."

Liu Fa nodded and said, "What does the Lord plan to do about this matter?"

Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Zhai Jin's whole family came to surrender. Although it is not the whole Zhai family, there are probably thousands of them. Someone will secretly protect him all the way."

Liu Fa nodded and said, "But it is necessary. The road from Luoyang to Hui'an is long, and it is a great migration of thousands of people. The journey will definitely not be fast. And now the territory of the Song Dynasty is not stable. There are many bandits and it is easy to be attacked."

Li Xin said, "Well, some of these thousands of people are craftsmen we urgently need. I will write a letter and send someone to escort them right away."

Li Xin immediately wrote a secret letter to Zhao Yun, asking him to organize people to secretly escort Zhai Jin's migration team, and use gold and silver to prepare officials and some bandits in the cottages along the way in advance, so that they would not embarrass Zhai Jin's migration team. After sending the secret letter to Zhao Yun, Li Xin wrote another letter to the steward, asking the steward to organize a group of gold, silver and manpower to join Zhao Yun.

After receiving the secret letter from Li Xin, the housekeeper immediately organized a group of people with high martial arts skills to escort Jin Yin to join Zhao Yun. After Zhao Yun received the people and gold and silver, he began to secretly escort Zhai Jin's migration team to Hui'an. The state and county officials and the copycat bandit Zhao Yun who passed along the way will take care of things in advance. In this way, Zhai Jin led his tribe to Hui'an safely. Zhai Jin was still surprised that his migration team was not robbed. After all, he originally prepared a lot of weapons for his tribe to carry with them just in case, but now he It was useless, but Zhai Jin felt relieved when he thought about it. Li Xin was quite capable.
