Entering Gui

In mid-February, Baoyuan 2nd year.

It was drizzling outside, and the faint smell of incense lingered in the room. Zhao Jin stood firmly in front of the threshold, looking at the drizzle outside the door.

Next to it is an incense table, with an incense burner on the incense table, and the red sandalwood incense that has not yet been burned. The most dazzling one is a bright yellow edict, some of which are placed randomly on the incense table.

Gongsun Xuanxu walked to Zhao Jin silently and comforted him: "Your Majesty, although you are going to Lingnan, this may not be a good thing. Although you are a prestigious official in the court, you must be cautious everywhere, just like walking on thin ice."

Zhao Feng showed a slightly strange bitter smile. "In the third year of Jingyou, Empress Dowager Zhang Hui (posterous title of Concubine Yang Shu) passed away. In the past six months, Yan Wenying no longer served the Sixth Brother in the name of old age and was in charge of internal court affairs. But in just half a year, Yan Wenying and Yan Shiliang and his son were exiled. After half a year, Lu Yijian and Wang once attacked each other, and both were exiled. Sixth Brother! Sixth Brother! Did you acquiesce to the original thing?"

Although Gongsun Xuanxu had been encouraging Zhao Jin, he was a little unaware of what to say when facing the problem of Zhao Jin. He could only respond to Zhao Jin's words with silence.

Zhao Qian sighed deeply, turned around, spread out the edict, and said with a self-deprecating look: "Sixth brother is really a big investment in order to appease me! King Wei! The appeasement envoy and governor of Guizhou on Guangnan West Road! Add to the championship general! This championship general is really loud, but unfortunately he is just a third-rank Wusan official!"

After a pause, Zhao Qian pointed to the imperial edict and said with a smile: "My teacher's article is good! 'The imperial edict of Xi is in the play. He is powerful and powerful. He is deeply in love with Yuanrong's master of the strong achievements in China.' He is worthy of being a Sanyuan Gong who won three yuan in a row!"

Gongsun Xuanxu sighed and said, "Your Majesty, how can you please your subordinates?"

Zhao Qian shook his head and said, "Forget it! Forget it! You are going to prepare for the salute now and set off for Guangnan West Road! By the way, prepare two pieces of Cheng Yiyin."

Gongsun Xuanxu was stunned and asked, "Two shares of Cheng Yiyin? Prince, what's wrong?"

"Send Cheng Lin and Kong Daofu!" After saying that, Zhao Qin smiled bitterly and said, "Getting into relationships with me, the two of them are not far from being exiled!"

Sure enough, the dispute between the morning court did not last long. In April, a small official in Kaifeng Prefecture committed a crime. However, this official was Cheng Lin's confidant when he was the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture. And a corruption case was implicated in Cheng Lin. In fact, this corruption case was not big. The embezzlement was only worth 100% of the money. In the eyes of the high-ranking officials, such a little money was really not enough.

However, Song Renzong used Zhang Shixun to try this case. What is the relationship between Zhang Shixun and Cheng Lin? The right person! Not only Zhang Shixun, but even Cheng Lin knew that Song Renzong was intending to demote him. But the matter was not over yet. Zhang Shixun was unwilling to demote Cheng Lin alone, and wanted to take the opportunity to sweep Kong Daofu, the old stubborn man, out of the court and catch them all in one go.

Zhang Shixun used a trick to reveal the news of his presiding trial to Kong Daofu. Kong Daofu knew the interests and knew that Song Renzong was abolishing the public because of his personal destruction, so he was naturally angry! He went to the palace to find Song Renzong, and scolded Song Renzong. Song Renzong was not interested in Kong Daofu's assistance to Cheng Lin that day, but now the evil people complained to criticize me first. In addition, Zhang Shixun was fanning the flames, and Song Renzong was furious and believed that Cheng Lin and Kong Daofu formed a clique and demoted both of them from the court together.

Cheng Lin, the chief minister of the government, was dismissed as Guangluqing, the governor of Yingzhou, and the chief censor Kong Daofu, and was appointed as the governor of Yunzhou.

After Kong Daofu arrived in Yunzhou, why couldn't he understand Zhang Shixun's plan? He was filled with anger and suppressed his heart and could not let go. He became sick for a short time and died of illness after being the prefect of Yunzhou for a month.

When Zhao Qian found out, he sighed, but had no choice. The only thing he could do was to let Zhao Cai, who was responsible for managing his industry in Bianliang City, fund some money to Cheng Lin's family and Kong Daofu's orphans.

However, Song Renzong was a person who loved face, and it was also possible that because of a slight family affection, Song Renzong did not do anything. On Zhao Jin, he submitted a memorial to transfer Feng Shenji, the chief of Jiangling Prefecture, to the Pacification Envoy Office, to serve as the counselor and judge of Guizhou.

In addition, Zhao Qin also regained the generals. Because of Ding You, Wang Gui and other powerful generals had already arrived in the northwest as officials, and Zhao Yingwu stayed loyally by his side, but Zhao Yingwu was more loyal and lacked ability. Therefore, Zhao Qin recruited the children of the generals to serve as the sacrificial envoy.

However, Zhao Jin was not a substitute for the numbers. There were not many children of the generals who were recruited, only Yang Wenguang from Tianbo Mansion and Li Shouzhong, the son of Li Hanchao, the famous general of the Song Dynasty. However, these two men have their own strengths. Yang Wenguang was calm in the face of things and could be both literary and military. Li Shouzhong was still weak in ability, but he could endure hardships. He was in line with the food of the soldiers in the army and was very morale.

In addition, Song Renzong also sent two battalions of imperial guards to Lingnan with Zhao Jin. Halfway through, he sent Yan Shiliang to take over the horse and the west road of Guangnan. The official title was probably a mess, but in fact, it was just a military supervisor.

This is not all. Song Renzong didn't know if he was too afraid of Zhao Jin, so he appointed Wang Ranbo, deputy envoy of Guangnan West Road Transportation, and the chief supervisor of Guangnan West Road. The chief supervisor is actually the same as the one who bears the horse. If you look closely, the power on the surface is a little greater than that of Zhuma. Zhuma has no military power, but it is just complicated to be the emperor. There are memorials for the emperor every month. Of course, the memorials received by Zhuma have a great influence on the pacification envoy.

The governor is in charge of the garrison, training, military weapons and border defense affairs of the imperial guards on their own.

And Wang Ranbo is the one! Zhang Shixun is a family-friendly son!

Zhao Qian ignored all this and took the two battalions of imperial guards and ate and stayed in the wind and rain all the way. He finally arrived in Guizhou. It was April 21st. In the north, it was just a cool early summer, but the weather in the south was hot, and it was not the dry and hot in the north, but the wet. When the group came to the city of Guizhou, their clothes were wet, and their crotch was sweating profusely, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

As soon as I arrived at the city, officials came to greet me.

It’s not that these officials were unpredictable, but that when they entered Guangnan West Road, soldiers stationed in the tax office had already reported it.

An old man with red official robe came towards him. Although this old man was old, he was still full of heroic spirit. Although he was wearing civil servant robes, he had the decisive aura of a military general.

Zhao Qian knew at a glance that the person who came was the transferee of Guangnan West Road, the envoy of the West Pavilion, and the governor of Guizhou Cao Keming. Cao Keming was also a son of the general, Yin, a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Cao Guangshi, the inspector of Xiazhou. The most awesome thing about Cao Guangshi was to attack Li Jiqian thousands of miles away and capture his mother and wife.

Who is Li Jiqian? The founder of Xixia, Li Yuanhao's grandfather, is very awesome.

However, Cao Keming is not as awesome as his father. This time, An Huaman's rebellion has a lot to do with him. In the past two years, An Huaman had already made trouble. At that time, Ma Yu, the appeaser of Guangnan West Road, sent troops to defeat An Huaman and was preparing to destroy his clan.

Cao Keming believed that killing prisoners was not good, and there were many barbarians on Guangnan West Road. If the genocide was exterminated, it would probably arouse hatred. Not only did the wars spread everywhere in Guangnan West Road, no one dared to surrender again.

Unexpectedly, Cao Keming's intention did not agree with An Huaman. After a year of rest, An Huaman was determined to take revenge and rebelled again, which caught the official army off guard.

Su Shen, the Yizhou Promoter, said, "The country tolerate too much." He also said, "Transfer makes one's nature weak and is not conducive to the border." Cao Keming was transferred this time, and Su Shen also made a lot of efforts, but Cao Keming was indeed inappropriate in handling this matter.

No matter what the reason, Zhao Qin was quite respectful to this old man who devoted himself to Guangnan West Road for almost half his life. Cao Keming has been stationed in Guangnan West Road for almost thirty years! It should be noted that Guangnan West Road at that time was not a paradise on earth.

"Xiaguan Guangnan West Road Transportation Envoy, Xishangge Gate Envoy, Guizhou Prefect Cao Keming and Guangnan West Road officials, met with King Wei!" Cao Keming said like a bell and bowed high.

Zhao Qian quickly turned over and dismounted, helped Cao Keming, who had already given a half-queer tribute, and said, "I admire Cao Gong's righteousness very much. How dare I receive the full tribute?"

Cao Keming stubbornly took a step back and bowed again. Zhao Qian had no choice but to receive this gift.

Cao Keming straightened his back and said, "This time, Anhua Barbarians and Rebellion is the fault of the subordinates! How dare you express your merits when you are guilty?"

Zhao Qin smiled bitterly and said, "Han Shouting Hou (Guan Yu) is still defeated and left Maicheng! What about Cao Gong?"

Seeing that Zhao Feng comforted him, Cao Keming's tense face eased a little, and he smiled bitterly: "What the prince said is very good, but he is not safe in his later years. I am already feeling ashamed. Please go to the yamen to hand over it now, so I can go back to Shu."

Cao Keming, a native of Yazhou, Sichuan (now Ya'an), Sichuan. Although he made a mistake this time, he cared about his contributions for many days, so the court asked Cao Keming to return to Yazhou to be the governor, which made him return home in glory when he was old.

Zhao Qian also understood Cao Keming's thoughts and did not force him. After Cao Keming introduced several leading officials, he followed Cao Keming to the Transportation Commission Office. In fact, it was said that it was the Transportation Commission Office. However, because the Transportation Commission was basically the governor of the whole country, it was also the Guizhou Prefecture.

After the handover, Zhao Jin asked Zhao Yingwu to take him to see Cao Keming off.

It was not that Zhao Qin wanted to drive Cao Keming away, but Cao Keming insisted on leaving now. Zhao Qin kept a few words, but he did not force him to see it. He originally wanted to hold a banquet to say goodbye, but Cao Keming said: "Today, Anhua barbarians are in chaos, and the people on Guangnan West Road are in panic. The prince goes to Guangnan West Road. It is the time to calm the people's hearts. How can we delay national affairs for the sake of our old man?"
