Chapter 33

Keep the door

In ancient Chinese history, there has been a long term saying that "generals will be used as generals", which refers to the phenomenon of joining the army and the emergence of generals in several lifetimes. In terms of the development of Chinese dynasties, generals have become the backbone force in the group of military generals. Emperor Yang of Sui once

He said to the ministers that there must be generals, and there must be generals in the generals. This is not false. To put it bluntly, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and rats give birth to holes when they are born.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the phenomenon of generals was still prominent. The founding generals, remaining ministers and former generals, and the family of generals who grew up in the past dynasties formed the generals of the Song Dynasty. Among them, there were situations where generals were generals or generals for several generations, and there were many generations of troops.

There was even a military family that had always been in line with the Northern Song Dynasty, and the generals always occupied an important position in the group of military generals at that time.

While implementing the "receiving military power", Song Taizu won over and bribed the upper class of the military generals and gave his family many preferential treatment. He even adopted the practice of marrying him to win their effectiveness and resolve their conflicts. The generals not only obtained

The treatment of security and wealth, and several families established marriage relationships with the royal family. After Emperor Taizong of Song ascended the throne, he followed his brother's approach. This formed a tradition of winning over the upper class military generals. Later, the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty established the daughter of the military ministers.

It has almost become a custom for the queen. Under the protection of this ancestor's laws, not only did the generals and their families gain a stable position, but it also opened a convenient door for their children to become generals.

The imperial examination provides a steady stream of candidates for the civil service system, but cannot select qualified military generals. The military examination examination must finally determine the outcome based on the written test scores. As a result, martial arts education becomes the literary level of martial arts students rather than military.

Knowledge, it is impossible to command the army in the army, let alone become a military strategist. Due to the lack of an effective training mechanism for military officers, the descendants of military generals are usually familiar with military affairs and become ideal heirs of their fathers' military positions, which makes the only supply of national military talents.

Through the process of father and son transmission. On the other hand, upper-level military officers enjoy the privilege of nourishing and prioritizing the transfer of children, encouraging them to serve in the army for generations, and creating superior conditions for the development of their children. These rich children are often not bad at all.

He has won the military rank and even became a general without a battle formation. Due to special background conditions, his children still have more opportunities to be favored by the rulers, making it easier for them to develop. The family has become the one who inherits military knowledge and military skills.

Effective tools are created by military families. Even though the emperor often suspects the private groups in the army, the phenomenon of the entire family serving in the army cannot be avoided.

"Generals and generals" themselves also have the possibility of expanding the power of military personnel and even causing events. If the ruler gives excessive military power to a certain or some military families, and lacks the necessary restrictions, it will lead to a long-term dominance.

The army may occupy a certain area, and family factors and interests continue to expand, so conflicts with the dynasty center will inevitably lead to mutiny consequences. Such phenomena have been common in previous generations.

As a result, under the situation of implementing the national policy of "respecting culture and suppressing martial arts", as well as "they will control it from it" and "using culture and suppressing martial arts", the ruling group of the Northern Song Dynasty prevented and restricted the power of military personnel everywhere, and usually did not allow one,

Or some military generals stayed in one place, and the only exception was the Yuxia front line, which was guarded by the Zhe family for a long time, the Fuzhou.

The situation where the Northern Song Dynasty generals succeeded to the generals and talents emerged naturally, but this does not mean that those who came from the generals were good generals. In fact, there are a large number of mediocre people among them, especially among the upper-class families.

.The children of the high family rely on their family background to enjoy wealth and honor, and they are mediocre. There is also the phenomenon of many other descendants of generals doing nothing, but the Zhe family is an alternative.

During the Five Dynasties and Northern Song Dynasty, the area of ​​Fugu and Shenmu was located in Naifu and Linzhou. The territory of the Han and Han dynasties lived in the territory, and the tribes of Dangxiang Qiang were scattered. The feudal separatist forces represented by the local tyrant Zhe family were under the threat of Khitan and Dangxiang.

In order to protect its own interests, it successively relied on the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Zhou and Song, established vassal relations, accepted canonization, food and salary, and inherited titles and salaries for generations, and was actually a small court that dominated the country. It is worth mentioning that the Zhe family was in the palace.

Just like Li Jiqian in Xiazhou, the state was all local tyrants. The difference was that they had different attitudes towards the central government at that time, one was loyal and the other was rebellious.

The northwest corner of the Song Dynasty, where the Zhe family was stationed, is located in the northwest of Hedong Road, which is a small part of Hedong Road located in Hexi. It is a prominent part of the Song Dynasty's borders. The main reason is that it allows the local hereditary military group with strong prestige to exist.

"Control the northwest, China depends on it." They faced the two powerful enemies of Xia and Liao in the corner of northern Shaanxi where wind and sand are rolling, barren and desolate, on the river, inside and outside the Great Wall, with thousands of people facing the two powerful enemies of Xia and Liao, blocking the northwest and defending the villages.

The two provinces of the Mansion and Lin have been peaceful for a long time, and are known as

"Zhe Family Army".

The Zhe family began to establish the foundation of the prefectures around 870 AD. The Zhe family has been generals for generations, and most of their children are skilled in martial arts and leaping horses and bent bows. Their descendants served as governors, governors, and envoys of the prefectures.

He was in charge of military power for generations. Since the remnants of the Tang and Five Dynasties, famous generals and good men have been brave and brave, and they were brave and brave. They were called the second general of Hedong at that time, and were under the Zhe family.

In the evening, detailed information about this matter was sent one after another. Zhao Qi also learned that the old acquaintance yesterday was Zhe Meiluan, the only daughter of Zhe Kexing, who was born in the Qinzhou Observer. She grew up in the family environment of famous generals for generations.

He likes to ride horses, shoot archery, dance swords, and learn military tactics. He is very good at military tactics. He has assisted his father and brother in control of the enemy and is considered a tiger girl.

Today, Zhe Meiluan led people to suppress Qiao Gui's nest, but unfortunately, the master escaped. After all, they were outsiders and did not know what happened in Beijing. After searching for it for half a day, they did not catch Qiao Gui. Now it is the lamp.

On the last two days of the city, the emperor was at the feet of the emperor, so he didn't dare to make too much trouble, so he called out the gold and retreated.

"Prince, how can we deal with the aftermath?" Jianxi saw the prince put a few pages of paper on the desk, and asked softly without saying a word.

"The matter is going big now. Although Qiao Gui is a scoundrel, he has been in business for a long time and will definitely have many relationships between the top and the bottom. I am afraid he will not give up. He will definitely mobilize all relationships to find the place. The Zhe family is in the northwest.

It is possible to be the king but not necessarily in Beijing. I am afraid there will be a storm," Zhao Qiong said with a wry smile.

"Does the prince want to help them?" Jianxi said with his eyes lit up.

"We owe someone a favor a few years ago, and we have to pay it back this time," said Zhao Qi.

"Prince, we risked our lives to save her. It must be because the Zhe family owed us a favor, right?" Jianxi asked blinkingly, was the prince confused or fell into evil, and started talking nonsense.

"Look at this, this is what the woman from the Zhe family gave me before leaving." Zhao Qi took off the jade ring tied around his waist and threw it to Jianxi.

"Didn't this Yuhuan give to the young lady who brought us porridge when the prince went to Beijing to attend the funeral? Will it be in her hands?" Jianxi looked carefully under the lamp and said in surprise, but she also had questions in her heart.

The woman who gave the porridge was sixteen or seventeen years old at that time. It was impossible that she was still sixteen or seventeen years old after several years.

"I don't know, do you still remember what the young lady said at that time?" Zhao Qi asked. Jianxi was also one of the parties involved.

"That day she gave her 'almond candied date rice porridge', including walnut kernels, almonds, candied dates, raisins, and white sesame seeds..." Jianxi frowned and said while recalling.

"Get out, who told you that there was something in the porridge? I asked you to recall what she said," Zhao Qi kicked Jianxi and said.

"Hehe, I can still remember the aroma of that bowl of porridge." Jianxi hid and said, "The days of starving are always impressive," she said, "She said it was sent to her on behalf of her house, and said

Her family is inspired by the filial piety of her son, and by the way, she praises the prince as a heroic spirit."

"Well, that's true. I think that the little lady is the maid of the Zhe family's woman. Even if it is not, the Yuhuan must have something to do with her," Zhao Qiong nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, you often say, 'If you receive a drop of water, you should repay it with a spring of water'. Isn't that bowl of porridge considered a drop of water?" Seeing Xibu, you asked in a low voice.

"You guy doesn't have anything to say, so you can arouse me, right?" Zhao Qi was a little funny. Seeing Xi is usually greedy for money, but she is also a loyal guy.

"Hehe, I don't mean that. Who doesn't have the prince's righteousness and unparalleled kindness and filial piety. You will repay kindness and of course you will not let go of revenge." Jianxi rubbed Zhao Qi's shoulders and said.

"Damn it, you haven't been to Beijing for a long time. You haven't learned anything else, but you're good at flattering," Zhao Qiong cursed with a smile.

"The prince has already had some trouble? Did we catch Qiao Gui tonight or chop his head? The spies in Beijing have found out that their hiding place have been prepared, and everyone is ready, just waiting for your order

"Jie Xi said with a finger.

"Just fight and kill. This time we don't play martial arts anymore. If you want to play literary things, Qiao Gui can't die now. He is still useful to live. As long as you monitor him and don't let someone sneak out of the capital, it's good.

"Zhao Zhen thought about it and had a scheming.

The next day, the 19th day of the first lunar month is the day to collect the lanterns, and the same is true in the palace. Thinking that the annual leave ends, Zhao Ji was a little unhappy, but looking at Jia Xiang kneeling in front of him, crying even more unhappy, "Official family

The adopted son of the old slave invited a few drinks and enjoying the lanterns in Deyilou yesterday. The family of the Qinzhou Observer and his personal soldiers and generals suddenly arrived. Without asking any questions, they came up and committed the crime, which not only cut off the adopted son of the old slave Qiao Gui.

One hand, he also killed many people. The poor old slave adopted son is hard to return home now, so he hides everywhere and asks the official to make the decision for me."

"The official family, the Zhe family dared to kill people in the capital. It seems that they did not take the official family seriously. I think he was even more domineering in the northwest. If he didn't do it well, he would be another Li Jiqian (the founding emperor of Xixia) in the future."

Liang Shicheng said with a sinister face. Jia Xiang is still an introductory master. The old leader in the Calligraphy and Painting Bureau has suffered a grievance. How can he not help me?

"Cough..." Zhao Ji coughed lightly, and was about to express his opinion when a small yellow gate suddenly ran into the Taoist official's house in a panic. Prince Yan came into the palace and seemed to have been beaten seriously injured and was dying.
