Chapter 299
Chapter 299 First Arrival in Jingzhao Mansion
Lu Yijian was very afraid of Zhao Jin, and whether it was Song Shou or Yan Shu, the head of the Privy Council, was not afraid of Zhao Jin. Although Zhao Jin was suppressed by Song Shou and Yan Shu now, these two people were under pressure. Who has such a noble status and can do anything to the point? He said he was a subordinate, but you can't do anything to each other. The pressure of being a boss is not too high?
If you are not careful, who knows whether you will turn the tables on the other side?
Therefore, Zhao Jin did not stay in Bianliang City for too long, which made Zhao Jin feel a little regretful. He told Jiao Niang to take good care of her baby in the mansion, so he took Hua Xiangrong to set off on Qinfeng Road.
Originally, Zhao Jin had never thought about bringing Hua Xiangrong, but Jiao Niang made this request. Zhao Jin naturally knew Jiao Niang's little thoughts, but wasn't she afraid that Zhao Jin would be lonely in the army and would be flirting with flowers and flowers everywhere. Instead of not knowing that a grass and wood Xiangrong popped up, it would be better to tie Zhao Jin with Hua Xiangrong, which is already a fait accompli.
Zhao Qian was a little amused about this matter.
On August 16th, after spending the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Jin left Bianliang City. The number of people in his group was not large, but there were also many. Fifty Beiwei Army, ten grooms, ten servants, ten maids, and clerks.
A group of nearly a hundred people marched towards the west in a mighty manner.
Ten days later, Zhao Jin and his group arrived at Jingzhao Mansion in a dusty manner.
There is still a distance from Jingzhao Mansion, about five or six miles away, there is a small pavilion for tourists and passers-by to rest. Next to the pavilion is a teahouse with a big bamboo in the teahouse, a white cloth is carried, and the words "big tea" is written on it.
"But King Wei Qiansui?" As he passed by, a clear voice sounded.
"Who is it?" Zhao Yingwu slightly tied the reins of the horse and glanced sharply at the guests in the teahouse on the back of the horse.
These guests bowed their heads to salute, with only one exception, sitting upright on the wooden bench. When they saw Zhao Yingwu's eyes falling on him, they owed slightly, and said with a clear consolation: "The prince Zuo Qingdao led the son of the mansion, Zhao Xun, to come here to welcome King Wei Qiansui on behalf of his father."
Zhao Yingwu looked at him and couldn't help but feel a little favor immediately.
The person who came was not very old, about twenty-one or two, had a short, thick beard on his lips, his eyes were like lightning, his eyebrows were like swords, and his skin was pale. His appearance looked heroic, and he was slightly arrogant. He was wearing a long scholar's gown, but he didn't feel any disagreeable, which made people couldn't help but praise him, what a young man!
But who is the prince’s mansion?
Forget it, the prince has to bother with this matter.
Zhao Yingwu came to Zhao Chen's carriage to report. In fact, Zhao Yingwu didn't need to report, Zhao Chen knew about the outside world, after all, Zhao Chen was not a deaf person.
After listening to Zhao Yingwu's report, Zhao Feng turned his head and looked at the thin literary man next to him, and asked with a smile: "Does Mr. Sheng Yu know who this person is?"
This Mr. Yu was met by Zhao Qian in Henan and was a lord of Henan. When Zhao Qian passed by Henan Prefecture, the staying in Xijing was naturally very enthusiastic. At the banquet, Zhao Qian saw Mr. Yu who seemed a little out of the way, and he didn't care too much about it. However, when the left behind proposed to write a poem, this Mr. Yu's poem shocked Zhao Qian.
The poems are not considered beautiful, but they are straightforward and have a strong sense of reality.
After some conversation, Zhao Qian recognized his ability. For this reason, he specially asked Mr. Sheng Yu to come. The Henan Prefecture left the house very generously and reported with Zhao Qian. This matter did not need to be passed by Song Renzong. Zhang Shixun had already agreed with him with him. He was thinking about sending Zhao Qian away soon, let alone being a mere lord who didn't even have a Jinshi origin?
What's more, the other party is just a farmer, and has no relationship or background. It's just that the poems are OK, but what's the use? In the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, such officials dare not say that they are caught by a large number of them, but there are no one thousand and nine hundred.
The full name of this person is Mei Yaochen, who left a strong scholar in Northern Song Dynasty literature. If this is the case, it is not worthy of attention. Instead, Mei Yaochen is very pragmatic. No matter what he does, he will not do whatever the people below say. Instead, he will go to the on-site inspection in person and then give an order.
He has completely different ideas and ways of doing things from the officials of this era. And this is exactly what Zhao Qian needs, pragmatic!
Henan Prefecture is close to Shaanxi Road, so we need to know more about the situation here, so Zhao Chen asked this question.
Mei Yaochen said calmly: "Crown Prince Zuo Qingdao? I don't know about this official position, but I know about Zhao Xun!"
Zhao Qian was a little regretful when he heard Mei Yaochen's previous words, but he didn't want to say that he would call him Liu Nihua Ming. He couldn't help but smile with a slight joking smile: "Sir, are you teasing me? Is your son even more important than me?"
Mei Yaochen smiled indifferently and said, "Is this what I mean? However, Zhao Xun is indeed a master of people. Although this man is not old, he is already skilled in riding and shooting, and is familiar with military books, the Four Books and Five Classics. Even the officials are 16 years old and even the officials are famous. They summoned the palace to take office in the third rank. Now, the "Jimi Tu Jing" made by his visit to the court, so his father was spared a punishment of beheading his head!"
"Beheaded? What did his father do if he is angry and resentful?" Zhao Qian was a little surprised.
"His father is Zhao Zhen, the former governor of Yanzhou!" said Mei Yaochen.
When Zhao Chen heard this name, he remembered Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen was the first warrior to serve as the governor of Yanzhou as a military general. Zhao Zhen replaced the famous Fan Yong. This may be the Battle of Sanchuankou, which made Song Renzong finally make a decision to improve the status of the warrior.
However, at that time, Li Yuanhao attacked the Saimen Village in Yanzhou. Historical books said: "The bandits attacked the Saimen Fort. Zhen had several eight thousand soldiers and did not move. There were only a thousand soldiers in the fort. He was repeatedly anxious and was besieged for five months. More than a hundred people were sent to him. The fort was captured. The fortress Lord Gao Yande and the salt-protected King Jiyuan were all deprived of the bandits."
Pang Ji, who was the transshipment envoy at that time, immediately impeached Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen was demoted to the Baizhou Tuanlian Envoy and the governor of Jiangzhou. However, before the order was issued, the leader of the Saimen Village, Gao Yande, and the family of the Yanbian Wang Jiyuan went to Bianliang City to cry. At that time, this incident caused a lot of trouble, especially those passionate scholars, one and two sympathized with these orphans and widows.
Of course, this is actually superficial, and Zhao Qian also knew something about the deep-seated things, that is, the scholars and officials such as Zhang Shixun and Lu Yijian were afraid of Song Renzong's desire to improve their status as a warrior, because it would seriously damage their interests. With these prime ministers who were fueling the fire, the matter was very big at that time. The court once discussed it and said that he wanted to kill Zhao Zhen.
However, Zhao Qin said a fair word at that time, saying that although Zhao Zhen was conservative, it was for the sake of the court. The fall of Yanzhou endangered Shaanxi, and the world was shaken, and the world was shaken, which was shaken by the foundation of the Song Dynasty.
Song Renzong did not agree to the execution, but instead exiled Zhao Zhen to Tanzhou. As for how much his official position was demoted, I don’t know. But now I think it is this prince’s left mansion.
Now Zhao Zhen sent his son to thank him. Zhao Jin didn't want to meet him at first, after all, he didn't want to earn favors in this matter.
Mei Yaochen saw Zhao Qian's thoughts, and before Zhao Qian's words were politely declined, Mei Yaochen had already spoken: "Prince, although Zhao Zhen was demoted, he has lived in the border areas of Shaanxi for more than ten years, and he has no idea how many of his subordinates are. And the prince is just here and is not familiar with the situation. Isn't this a good opportunity to know?"
When Zhao Qian thought it was reasonable, he nodded and said, "What sir is right!"
Zhao Xun asked Zhao Xun to meet him, but Zhao Xun did not enter the carriage and talked. He respectfully bowed outside the carriage and said, "I am grateful to the prince for saving his father! My father had already gone south to Tanzhou and regretted that he missed the prince. My father repeatedly asked me to take him to express his gratitude to the prince. But if the prince had any instructions in Shaanxi, he would say. Before that, he had a banquet in Jingyuan Building of Jingzhao Prefecture to wash the prince's dust, and please do not refuse!"
Seeing that Zhao Xun and Feng Yiwei were always tall, Zhao Qin had some idea of recruiting him, so he did not refuse and nodded, saying, "Okay, you should lead the way!"
"Yes!" Zhao Xun was so happy that he didn't say anything polite, so he turned around and left. He untied the reins of the teahouse and led a servant to lead the way ahead.
When he arrived at the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture, Zhao Qian met another wave of people who greeted him, but Zhao Qian was not in a good mood. Because Jingzhao Prefecture actually sent a master Bo to welcome Zhao Qian. Who is Zhao Qian? Not to mention the real power, the title of this prince alone is enough to scare people. Today, Zhao Qian is just a real prince!
The other princes are just princes, and they are two-character kings. How can they be compared with the single-character king Zhao Qian?
Zhao Chen didn't even see the Lord Bo's face, so he directly let Zhao Yingwu get rid of the future.
Mei Yaochen persuaded: "Prince, has this been passed? After all, a strong dragon will not suppress local snakes!"
Zhao Qian snorted coldly and said toughly: "A good person is bullied, and a good horse is ridden by others! I am now retreating, and he said there is no way to get this step back! And I also want to see how capable Xia Qian is, how can he do this?"
After hearing this outside the carriage, Yang Qing immediately smiled heartily and said, "Your Majesty is right! How can a real man have so many gentle things in this world?"
Seeing that Zhao Qian and his staff were like this, Mei Yaochen couldn't say anything else. After all, after all, he was just an aide who recently defected to Zhao Qian, and some of the things he could say were not what he could now.
Zhao Xun was very surprised by Zhao Jin's behavior. Zhao Yingwu looked at Zhao Xun's expression and immediately said disdainfully: "The prince is like this. If it weren't, how could the prince have the reputation he is today? How could he have so many constraints for the great cause?"
A stream of light flashed in Zhao Xun's eyes and he didn't say anything.
