He planted peonies in the Tang Dynasty

It was rainy day, and there was no court, the little official Ji Yun passed by the gate of Yongxingfang, and saw a large number of refugees gathered in front of the house, some set up cases in front of the hall to help, stepped on the ground with petition papers, some closed the gates, only Leave a bare courtyard wall to show people.

After asking, I found out that after these people went to Zhaoyin Mansion in Guangdefang to play drums, they were driven out by Feng Linyuan in the name of disturbing the court. The mansion defected.

It’s just that no matter where he goes, Ji Yun can hear a ballad adapted from an old poem of the Han Yuefu. Coming soon.

After singing to Gu's mansion, Ji Yun was afraid of getting entangled, so he didn't dare to help others, so he went straight to Gu Jiu who was sitting at the door to accept the case: "Boss Gu." Gu Jiu said: "Ji Lang is here?" The little official said : "Changting in small characters, don't dare."

Gu Jiu sighed: "The people don't know the six classics, and they don't believe in the Zhaoyin Yamen. There are hundreds of people every day, but very few cases can be settled. The day before yesterday received three cases, and yesterday received eight cases. According to the situation today, there are only ten cases at most. Get on the stage."

The little official Ji Yun has a gentle face and a mole on the end of his eyebrows. Gu Yue mentioned to Gu Jiu before that he is a fellow from Hengshui, Hedong. little follower.

In the study room of the inner hall, there is a white porcelain vat. Two koi fish are quietly swimming among the aquatic plants at the bottom of the vat.When Ji Yun entered, Gu Yue was reviewing the official document before the case, with a slight frown between his brows, holding a pen holder in his hand.

Ji Yun approached and saw the words "Jingzhao Feng Linyuan" written on the paper.Gu Yue asked: "How is the matter in Songzhou going?" Ji Yun replied: "Master Xu asked the question on his own initiative. Master Liu should be more cautious. I will accompany their cronies to the state capital respectively, and discuss with Governor Wei. , Song Sima read the official documents, and then went to An County, Liang County, and Qi County to draw land boundaries. Now they each want [-] acres, and they bought them at a [-]% discount. There are three copies of the deed, and one copy is here."

Gu Yue said: "How are the people in the county?" Ji Yun said again: "The county magistrate is relieved to see that the people have finally survived in exchange for food. In addition, the two adults said in private that the adults outside the staff are sympathetic to their subordinates. This kindness , they remembered."

Gu Yue smiled and said: "Changting, don't tell me, I have reserved [-] acres for you." Ji Yun said: "My family is small and I don't need land. I just want to be a sword in the hands of Master Yuanwai." Gu Yue said: "Okay, very good." Ji Yun lowered his eyebrows: "My lord, what's the matter?" Gu Yue said: "It's nothing, your words sound familiar to me, but I won't force you."

This time the distribution of spoils involved a total of [-] mu of paddy fields. Gu Yue asked Uncle Gu to transfer the money to buy [-] from the accounts of the relatives of the Wei family. , divide the benefits equally, three hundred each.

After the two checked the deed paper, Gu Yue put it in the secret room, and then ordered Ji Yun to accompany him and set off to inspect the south of the city.

Even if there are difficulties, the three city gates on the south side are still open tolerantly. Inside the city walls are temporary resettlement houses, and soup kitchens are arranged on both sides outside Mingde Gate, from sparse to dense, connecting Qixia Gate in the east and Qixia Gate in the west. Lian'an Huamen.

Pei Yan and several officials from the Shangshu Province had assembled in front of Anhua Gate in coir raincoats. Every three days, they would inspect the work of Zhaoyin Mansion. Gu Yue came forward on behalf of Wei Wenkui to appease and ask questions Responsibility for disease.

In the rain, Gu Yue respectfully greeted two or three refugees. When he passed by Mingde Gate, he turned around and asked Si Lu of Zhaoyin Mansion: "They are all the same congee shop, there are more on both sides of the east and west, and less in the middle." , is there any particularity here?"

Si Lu was startled for a while, then said miserably: "In past disaster years, if there were as many buildings in the middle as on both sides, the refugees would all squeeze in the middle, which would easily block the traffic. Because of this, Feng Zhaoyin was worried for a few days. I haven’t been back to the mansion for a few nights, and I personally checked the files for many years before I came up with a new method of having more at the two ends and less in the middle.”

Gu Yue said: "That's right, if both ends of the sugar cane are equally sweet, there's no need to pick and choose. Feng Zhaoyin is careful, and Zhaoyin's mansion is also very practical." Si Lu said: "There is no way, the refugees have complaints, we can only Come on."

Next, because it was Gu Yue who opened the door, all the officials of the Zhaoyin Mansion, as if grasping for life-saving straws, took stock of the details of the resettlement and relief of refugees in the two counties under their jurisdiction, and finally poured bitter water .

Si Lu said: "Mr. Gu, let me say something that shouldn't be said. There are countless inspections these days, all of them clinging to the hands of orphans and widowed mothers, whimpering and asking for warmth. In turn, they are just reprimanding us. Your officer Originally, I thought that the Ministry of Rites of Shangshu was the most particular and the one who loves to criticize, but unexpectedly, you not only don’t curse people, but also don’t bother us with our affairs.”

Gu Yue thought for a while, and replied: "You guys are making progress. As a secretary, you don't deal with piles of complaints, and you carry grain bags with the workers here? Don't be afraid to show your waist." Pei Yan said: "Mr. Gu."

Who knows, Jing Zhaoyin is the most difficult magistrate in the world. Even if the "Six Codes" set his official rank as high as the third rank, the spell cast on this position cannot be changed, that is, since the founding of the country, Except for the royal relatives and relatives working in their own family, no one has ever been able to stand on the cusp of this storm for three years.

Therefore, even though Gu Yue's words were rude, all the officials present did not take the truth seriously, instead they all showed knowing wry smiles - after careful calculation, Feng Zhaoyin has already survived to the end of the third year with his extremely delicate thoughts

In this way, at the end of the boring inspection, everyone had fun and went back to report.Gu Yue apologized to the officials of Zhaoyin Mansion, and then was invited by Pei Yan to sit in the Nanting and talk about his father Pei Yaoqing's reply.

Due to the urgency of the situation, within a month, Pei Yaoqing was appointed as the grain transshipment envoy in Guanzhong. After discussing with many close friends in the court, he crossed over to Xiao Qiaofu and jointly formulated a plan: a group of relief, a second channel, and a third trip to Nilin.

A line of relief refers to the fate of human life. No matter how much money is deducted at all levels, people must be employed first, repairing dams, transferring supplies, and minimizing casualties; The channel for redressing grievances allows cases from all over the country to be submitted to the Ministry of Education, and it has the power to investigate cases and quell public grievances; in the end, to go to Nilin three times is to look back and settle accounts with a group of giants behind the scenes and restore food prices.

After saying this, Pei Yan asked Ji Yun to go to the city gate to get his pen and ink, and said to Gu Yue alone: ​​"Gu Lang, although Mr. Xiao Ge disagrees with reducing military use on the frontier, he still supports the Six Books of Shangshu when it comes to food allocation and disaster relief. Yes, judging from the reports from various prefectures, the relief has been completed, and the next step is to clear the communication channels, and the prefectures and counties in Guanzhong are all looking forward to the rumors of Chang'an. My father believes that Feng Linyuan is more than meticulous and lacks courage. Also, I had a lot of entanglements with Anfenghui, and I avoided the serious and ignored the case, so I had to change people, what do you think?"

Gu Yue said: "Although that is the case, according to my understanding, if we want to bring down Feng Zhaoyin at this juncture, I am afraid that many old friends who are under his protection will be offended. job?"

Pei Yandao: "I know such a person." Gu Yue said: "Who?" Pei Yan continued calmly: "The servant of the household department and the grain transshipment envoy of Guanzhong Ping, Jing Zhaoyin in the early years of Kaiyuan, my father, Pei Yaoqing. "

It was raining at dusk outside the long pavilion, Gu Yue's eyes drifted to the city gate in the distance, his heart was full of admiration, but he didn't know what to say.Pei Yan continued: "Speaking of the great clans in Guanzhong, the Pei family bears the brunt, but after all, our interests are at stake. Even if we stand up to clear the way, we may not be able to move the huge stone in front of the Ten Kings' Mansion, and prevent our colleagues from the court from shooting us." Backstabbing, in order to compete with them, we still need a force, maybe Gu Lang can help a little in the Ministry of Rites."

"Gu Lang, the refugees crying out for grievances are crying in their own way. They are like scattered sand. Some can only see that their own land has been taken, and they are full of misunderstandings about the government. Some are ignorant. I feel that selling the land is worth it, but in fact, if people’s grievances can be guided, they can be turned into a sharp sword, which can destroy everything wherever it goes.”

Before he finished speaking, Gu Yue bowed and saluted: "Brother Pei, I understand, I will arrange my cronies to secretly persuade me when I am appeased and troubled, and within half a month, I will collect a petition for ten thousand people for the Zhaoyin Mansion." ’, pointed at by Jianfeng, follow orders.”

Pei Yan said: "Half a month is too slow, to be honest, I thought of a way for you." Gu Yue was stunned for a moment when he said this.Ji Yun quickly handed over the brush, Pei Yan nodded, took it, and wrote a few short lines calmly.

It's cold and rainy, Xia Zangdong comes to see you.

Two or three brothers are wandering in other counties.

Who will mend the old clothes?Who will wear the new clothes?

Master Lai Dexian, take it for me.

How can the rural fields be plowed? A thousand mu is exchanged for a bucket of grain.

The husband and son-in-law asked from the door, but the government officials urged him urgently.

Slanting to the northwest of Ke, there is no time to return when traveling far.

Ji Yun stared at it, scratched his ears, suddenly hummed half a sentence of cold and cold rain, and quickly covered his mouth again.Pei Yandao: "That's right, the disaster-stricken area in the south of Guanzhong is close to Chu, and the person who wrote this melody, using the melody of Chu, made the entire city..." Gu Yue suddenly came to his senses, and clapped his hands and said: "Brother Pei, no."

"How many years have I been in the Taiyue Department? How can I not tell whose song it is, not only the song was written by him, but this word, the "Yan Ge Xing" of the former Yuefu, is patchwork, upside down, It must have been written by him too. No, Brother Pei, you don’t know that he was injured while performing “Broken Array”, and this will put him in danger.”

Hearing this, Pei Yan gave another rare smile: "Gu Lang, it's not Su Fengfeng who wrote this song, but Le Ji and Lanqiu from Pingkang Zuixianlou, but you two are also quite interesting, as usual. It's good, inseparable, how come when difficulties come, just like the Taoist master said, they will fly away?"

Gu Yue gritted his teeth, got up and said goodbye: "Brother Pei, today, you really impressed Gu." Pei Yan replied, "Gu Lang, Pei doesn't like to talk and laugh, Gu Lang doesn't want to be happy." In the rain, Ji Yun followed Gu Yue closely leave.

A joke is a joke, but time is running out and human lives are at stake. In the end, the time limit for this thousand-person petition was compromised to ten days.

That night, Gu Yue rode his horse and whipped his whip into Pingkangfang, took a look at Zuixianlou, then turned his horse's head around, and went to Mudanfang to question Xingshi.

Note: The source of "fly each other in the face of a catastrophe" was first found in "Fa Yuan Zhu Lin" in the first year of Tang Zongzhang (668). Flying birds, stay in tall trees at dusk, stay together, wait for tomorrow and get up early, fly away separately, ask for food and drink, get together when there is a destiny, and separate when there is no destiny, and we are a couple, the same is true."
