Chapter 233 Poison Scheme

"Damn it! The child is really bullying others! It's so angry that I'm so angry!" As soon as he entered the mansion, Zhang Shixun was angry and shouted angrily.

"What's wrong with Dongweng?" Outside the hall, a scholar in white walked in calmly.

Zhang Shixun turned around and saw the scholar, calming his anger a little, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "It's not that weird prince yet! Ding You was Ding You, and he actually said that scholars ruined the country! The one who destroyed the Song Dynasty, Guo Guan and Li Wei! He forced the Yanzhou magistrate to be an idle official position in the capital. It seemed to be a fair transfer, but it was actually a demotion!"

The scholar's surname is Nangong, whose name is Tang, and his name is Bushan. This name is taken from a sentence said by Confucius in "The Analects of Confucius? Jishi". "Seeing good is as bad as not enough, and seeing bad is as if exploring Tang."

Nangong Tang was both Zhang Shixun and his aide and a descendant of Zhang Shixun. His mother was Zhang Shixun's cousin. In other words, Zhang Shixun was Nangong Tang's cousin. However, Nangong Tang was arrogant and did not show his relationship with Zhang Shixun. Usually, he did not call Zhang Shixun a boss, but called him Dongweng.

Zhang Shixun also appreciates Nangong Tang, but what makes Zhang Shixun a headache is that Nangong Tang is good for everything, but it’s too arrogant! It doesn’t matter if people are proud, but officials are not good enough! It’s easy to offend colleagues, just like Fan Feng, who needs talent, ability, and background. What’s wrong with this? It’s not because he was too arrogant and too unruly. As a result, he, who was once famous in the court and the country, is still fishing for fish in Jiangxi!

Therefore, Nangong Tang was no longer young, thirty-four, but Zhang Shixun kept suppressing Nangong Tang. After passing the state examination, he was not allowed to participate in the provincial examination in Chungu. Staying by his side was called an aide. It was actually a training.

Nangong Tang is smart. Although Zhang Shixun seemed to be upset because of Guo Quan's experience, Nangong Tang did not agree with it and guessed calmly: "I don't know the size of my Song Dynasty prefectures and counties. Dongweng is so upset, but he is in love with Guo Quan?"

Before Zhang Shixun answered, Nangong Tang shook his head and said, "No. The student has only heard about Guo Guan's name recently. If Dongwen is close to him, how could the student have only heard of his name? It seems that Dongwen is annoyed that the drunkard is not about drinking! In the eyes of the students, the power of the King of Changsha? Although he still interferes with the officials' punishment? I think it is a worry. Dingyou is still like this. I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with the King of Changsha in June this year!"

Before he knew it, Zhao Jin had been mourning for two and a half years!

With the arrival of this date, the calm court began to surging undercurrents. Officials from the royal family began to rush around. The old ministers of the royal family were naturally indispensable to Cao Feiliang, Song Xing, who was an official from the royal family.

As the Prime Minister of the court, Zhang Shixun could be indifferent? Since he had told Nangong Tang, Zhang Shixun did not hide his anger. His face suddenly turned into melancholy, and sighed, "I am not kind, I am a roundworm in my belly! The King of Changsha has been mourning for three years, and the tranquility on Songshan Mountain cannot change him! He is still so sharp in his work. I am honest and frankly, I feel a little scared!"

Nangong Tang said disdainfully: "Dongweng is too afraid of this King of Changsha? No matter how powerful he is, he is a playboy with a golden key in his hand, and he will not be restrained at all. Such a brave but unscrupulous person would have been stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner if he had not been generous to the current emperor!"

Zhang Shixun shook his head and said, "Although I don't like the King of Changsha, I have to say that he is very capable! Mourning in Songshan is also a way to support hope. Now many scholars in Henan are very respectful of the King of Changsha. In addition to the previous favors shown on disaster relief on Jingdong East Road, once the King of Changsha returns to the court, he will be able to return the scholars from Henan and Shandong. Officials from these two places can all be used!"

Nangong Tang sneered: "Dongweng is so scared, what's the difficulty of dealing with him?"

"Can you come out?" Zhang Shixun was a little dissatisfied when he heard this. I can't even deal with the little fox at all ages. You, Nangong Tang, are you too arrogant, right?

"Just send it to Lingnan! The weather in Lingnan is hot, and there is no snow all year round. The miasma is everywhere. The iron-clad man can't last long! Do Dongwen still remember the Lingnan imperial guards who returned from Tianxi in the second year?"

Although Zhang Shixun was old, he had no memory and he soon remembered it. "Oh! The imperial guard who was not good at talking about it, but the two camps of imperial guards sent out in the ninth year of Dazhong Xiangfu because of the rebellion of the Ruoyao?"

Nangong Tang slightly said with a slight head, and said arrogantly: "The 达家, also known as the 达家, is a branch of the barbarians in the south. It is recorded in the new Tang Dynasty book of the student machine. 'There is a 达家 between Rong and Lu, and lives in the valley of Lin Jing, more than hundreds of miles. The customs like to rebel, hold a license to fight, and regards the chief commander as the king, and is called Po Neng, and planting flags in front and behind."

After a pause, Nangong Tang continued: "At present, the siege is not only active in Rongzhou, Luzhou and other places. Jinghu South Road, Guangnan West Road, and Guangnan East Road are extremely active. Especially in Huazhou, the siege is the most rampant. When it was strong, even the county town dared to besiege! It was just because the siege of the siege of Wuchuan County, and the troops on Guangnan West Road were sent to the attack, but they were not defeated. A group of imperial guards were transferred from Henan to the south. The two battalions were full of infantry, and just one thousand people were organized!"

Zhang Shixun nodded thoughtfully and said, "When I came back, I remember that there were only 700 people! The losses were great!"

Nangong Tang sneered: "Dongweng, you don't know anything. When you came back, there were indeed 700 people, but these 700 people were not all the 1,000 people who went there. More than 200 of them were private equity funds on the way to cover up the heavy casualties."

Zhang Shixun was shocked when he heard this and said, "Ru Liao is so powerful? If I remember correctly, that imperial guard was the old soldiers' camp that participated in the Battle of Chanyuan, otherwise the government would not have sent them!"

Nangong Tang shook his head and said, "It's not what Dongweng thought! The student learned some of the situation at that time from the old man chatting that day. After the students summarized it, he came up with some experience. The reason why the damage was so severe was not that the slut was too powerful, but that the miasma in Lingnan was too strong! The weather in Lingnan was hot, and people would be in the wild for a long time, and they would faint on the ground. Chuchu didn't know this situation. Most of the soldiers standing guard in the day fainted because of it. When the soldiers who succeeded, it was already too late. Therefore, there were no less than 30 people who died because of the heat evil! They went to the dense forest to attack the slut. And because of drinking poisonous springs, the miasma in the poisonous snakes and venomous insects, there were countless people biting them by poisonous snakes and venomous insects."

Zhang Shixun frowned, pulled the topic back to his original position, and said, "Lingnan is so powerful. Although I am a little surprised, it is reasonable. But what is the purpose of this saying is not good?"

"Although the thief is shameful to the army, they are also strong! The King of Changsha thought he was a playboy, and his body had long been dragged down by beauty. Sending him to Lingnan will naturally be gone forever!" Nangong Tang did not hide his intentions and spoke out his vicious plan very happily.

Zhang Shixun smiled when he heard this, with a hint of laughter and crying in his eyes. "You are still young. The King of Changsha may not know the harsh situation in Lingnan you mentioned. However, the harsh environment in Lingnan is well known. Almost all those who go there are exiled. With the honor of the King of Changsha, you will have hope for the past few years. It can be said that unless it is a serious crime, the King of Changsha will be unlikely to go to Lingnan!"

Nangong Tang looked at Zhang Shixun seriously and said word by word: "Ru! Liang!"

When Zhang Shixun heard this, his heart moved and said, "It seems that he was rushed to send a rebellion from Guangnan West Road!"

Nangong Tang smiled slightly and nodded, "No, that's the matter!"

However, Zhang Shixun frowned slightly and said, "Although there are many tribes in the Sullah tribe, there are one there and one here, sometimes a hundred people dare to make trouble. If only a few hundred people make trouble, I am afraid that the government will not be able to convince the officials to send the King of Changsha to Guangnan!"

At this time, Nangong Tang became the boss of the hand, spreading his hands and said indifferently: "Who knows how big the rebellion is? It's not big enough, just hint at the officials of Guangnan West Road! The student remembers that the deputy commissar of Guangnan West Road seemed to be Dongweng's clan? He sent someone to hint at him and just transfer back to become a Beijing official after the matter was completed. I think even if it was a smooth transfer, he would be willing to do so."

Zhang Shixun looked at Nangong Tang with a little stunned, shook his head and said, "That's not good, you are my husband's nephew. If you change to other staff, I immediately drove him away! He spoke so casually, gave advice, and made an excuse, but had no tail."

Shaking his head, Zhang Shixun said, "Apride! So proud!"

Nangong Tang didn't think so, and said proudly: "It's the case! I offended anything, and the students said this plan almost exactly, and there are only details left. Why do you need to use our talent for such a crude person? Just put your efforts into it!"

Zhang Shixun was speechless. Even if things are really like this, don’t say so directly! Be smarter and use words to guide Dongweng to add to the following words and flatter him. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

There was really no way Nangong Tang could do, Zhang Shixun waved his hand and said, "Let's go! Let's go! Let's go and watch your opera!"

Nangong Tang did not regret or was upset. He was still as if nothing had happened. He carried his hands on his back, walked across the threshold with his head held high and walked towards the opera house in the back garden.

Because memorials and official documents cannot be brought home, Zhang Shixun specially returned to the Shangshu Province in order to find the memorials sent from Guangnan West Road, and found them when he searched. The date was a bit late, more than a month ago, but it was not the rebellion of the Liuliao, but the rebellion of the Anhuaman.

Although the Northern Song Dynasty was quite big, because the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms caused China to be ununified for hundreds of years, ethnic minorities rose in the southern area. Now the Bai people in Yunnan established the Dali Kingdom. In Guizhou, western Guangxi, southern Sichuan and other areas, these ethnic minorities were very powerful in high mountains and dense forests. The Song Dynasty was unwilling to spend manpower and material resources to attack these poor mountains and rivers, so it established many restricted states here.

The horse is the head of the head! The bridle is the reins of the cow!

To put it bluntly, this banished state is equivalent to a small vassal state that was enfeoffed, such as a magistrate, a county magistrate, or something, and is hereditary. If you are asked to send troops to help, negotiate, and then reward money. The annual taxation is meaningful.

It looks pretty good, but in fact it is not. These southern governed states that obey and not listen to Xuan are all composed of barbarians. There are often greed for the wealth of the Han people or cause rebellion for the sake of strength. The court has no good way to treat them, so it is too late! Therefore, they sent troops to attack. If they surrender, they would forget it. If they surrender, they would kill, kill the chief, and then choose someone from the tribe to be the new chief, but it is also considered a change of soup and no medicine.

Some people wonder why not annex? How to annex! The Han people were unwilling to go to the poor mountains and rivers.

This time, the rebellion was the Anhuaman Rebellion bordering Rongzhou and Yizhou in the northwest of Guangnan West Road. There, the Song Dynasty established ten banished states. If we only look at the numbers, we would be surprised. Jingdong East Road is so big, it is just a seven-state army, but in fact it is not. In order to win over these southern barbarians, the Song Dynasty established many banished states, claiming to be 123 banished states. To be honest, even the officials in the south may not know.

Because barbarians would conquer each other, perhaps a large tribe would split into two. Although they were divided, their strength was still strong, so the court enthroned two more banished states.

The establishment of these banished prefectures is also very casual, with two or three thousand people, and the imperial court will also set up one. Therefore, the population of these ten banished prefectures may not be as large as that of a county below Qingzhou.

Zhang Shixun's eyes turned, he knew about this, and there were quite a few officials in the court, but he didn't know about it! Because there were not many people in the south, there was no need to send imperial guards to the place. Local troops could solve it. Because the memorials of the often reported process, these memorials were generally just for the performance of the Secretariat and the Privy Council. The top leader of the East and West Mansions knew it.

It’s not that it’s hidden from the emperor, but that such a matter is too small. Compared to this, the emperor has to deal with more major national affairs. Besides, the matter is over. What’s the point of giving it to the emperor? Rewards on merit? This matter is not the final word after negotiation between the Privy Councilor and the Minister of the Secretariat. Could it be that the emperor has to think about it himself?

In this matter, we can fool the officials. And it is not difficult. Because of Guo’s persuasion, the reputation of Changsha King in the circle of scholars and officials became even worse. Several prime ministers would be willing to pretend to be deaf and mute, and even followed the flow and said a few words of echoing behind the scenes.

If you look at it, it turned out that the Anhua Man had already had a rebellion as early as last year, but Zhang Shixun had not yet taken office at that time. It was Lu Yijian's instructions to ask the Guangnan West Road Tidijun to rectify the troops of Rongzhou and Yizhou to quell the Anhua Man's rebellion.

Not long after, Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian attacked each other. Song Renzong was in a headache and simply beat the 50th slap each. He took office and took over a lot of things, so he naturally couldn't take care of this matter.

Zhang Shixun thought about it seriously and remembered that he had seen it at that time, but he didn't care. He thought that An Huaman would be pacified soon. After all, those barbarians were all holding inferior iron, even stones and bones, and well-equipped official troops, who could often take one as ten. The matter of quelling the chaos was the watermelon held in his arms - it was almost certain to get it!

After watching it, Zhang Shixun was shocked! "Huh! How could it be like this?"

Li Ruogu, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture and the political affairs officer, heard the voice, walked into the ministry and said with a laugh: "Duke Ying is so diligent! I am just worried about things? I am outside and seemed to hear a surprised eh!"

Although Zhang Shixun was the prime minister, he was just named Duke Ying by Emperor Renzong of Song last year and his status was very high.

Turning his head and looking over, he saw that it was Li Ruogu, and Zhang Shixun did not hide it. He also thought about taking advantage of this time to reveal some of his own strategies to win the support of Li Ruogu. Although the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture is a tiring official position, it is also a very good springboard to control the major affairs of the capital. After Li Ruogu was appointed as the governor of the government, he also served as Kaifeng Prefecture, which shows how generous the holy family was. He was a very moderate and very heavy person!

"Oh! This memorial was not yet delivered three days ago. I didn't care at that time, and I didn't expect that when I looked closely today, something big happened!" Zhang Shixun said half sad and half pretending.

Li Ruogu became even more curious, quickened his pace and walked to Zhang Shixun, looking down. He couldn't help but exclaim. "Hey! Even the military commander Zhang Huaizhi was killed! County lieutenant Zhang Qing, Zhizhai Cao Hongli and other six people were all killed in battle! The military commander of Guangnan West Road is now in charge of a signing hall?"

Signing office, low-level officials of a staff nature.

Zhang Shixun said with a serious face: "No, this memorial actually said that An Huaman was familiar with the situation of the official army, and even pretended to be defeated and led the army into the forest, burned it with fire, and a hundred thousand troops came from all directions, so he was defeated! This is too strange, right? When did the barbarians have such wisdom? And there were also ten thousand troops..."

As he said this, Zhang Shixun shook his head, looking disapproving.

There are probably not even 100,000 men and women in An Huaman combined! These officials from Guangnan West Road really dare to brag, and they all regard me as fools?

Li Ruogu guessed: "I think this matter is probably caused by the officials of Guangnan West Road who are afraid of being punished and nonsense! The Zhongfu is right, but I think it is a pride and carelessness. As for the 100,000 army..."

Li Ruogu smiled and said with a slight joking voice: "It's enough to be able to have ten thousand strong An Huaman! A hundred thousand army, it seems that Guangnan West Road needs to be rectified!"

Zhang Shixun put down the memorial and said, "Forget it! Put it aside if the officials of Guangnan West Road are cheating. Now the most urgent task is to send people to Guangnan West Road to preside over the overall situation! Don't let An Huaman take the opportunity to capture one or two county towns, or even prefecture towns, that would be a problem! I'm afraid it will take advantage of the opportunity!"

Li Ruogu also turned solemn and nodded, "This is right! Well, but I am not very involved in military affairs. I should ask the three ministers of the West Prefecture to discuss the matter on Guangnan West Road!"

Zhang Shixun touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "Actually, I suddenly had a personal choice for this matter, but..."

Li Ruogu was surprised and asked, "What is the secret of Duke Ying?"

Zhang Shixun sighed and said, "I'm not afraid of Mr. Li laughing. I'm actually a little selfish when choosing this person!"

Li Ruogu was unhappy when he heard that he had selfishness, but he didn't say anything. After all, everyone is inevitably selfish. And I don't know who Zhang Shixun wants to recommend, and Li Ruogu couldn't say anything about this. If that person had some ability, wouldn't he offend Zhang Shixun for nothing?

This is not worth the loss!
