    However, Chen De, who was paying full attention to Zhao Jiong, did not notice the reactions of other courtiers, and still cried out to Zhao Jiong in tears: "It is natural for that sister to love young people. Although Zhang Bao is a better official than me,  He has more than ten times more money than me, but I really don¡¯t know that he also values ??the Qinhuai Red Card. If I had known this earlier, with Zhang Bao¡¯s usual reputation, how could I dare to compete with him.¡±

    It was a romantic act for the literati and officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty to have sex with prostitutes. The joy of leisurely travel depicted in Han Xizai's Night Banquet once fascinated future generations.  But it is extremely abnormal to bring this kind of romantic past to the court. Chen De himself is a military commander, and it is safer to let Zhao Jiong despise him than value him.  Compared with Qiu Ba, Zhang Bai, who had a noble official position, was completely different. What embarrassed him was that he couldn't remember whether he had been cheated by Chen Deqiang, or whether he had been cheated without knowing it.  .  What worried him even more was that Chen De, who was so arrogant, immediately revealed that both of them were old ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty. This was what Xu Xian, Zhang Bai and other Southern ministers were most afraid of when they entered the Song Dynasty, and it also seemed that  Zhang Bao is a cold-blooded person who does not miss old feelings.  Zhang Bao secretly glanced at Xu Xian, a former favored person, and saw that Xu Xian was not squinting, with an expression that had nothing to do with him. Zhang Bao just regretted how he jumped out and bit Chen De, a stone that came out of the toilet.

    What's even more irritating is that the more people argue about this affair, the less clear it becomes. Zhang Bao can only cry out for injustice like Chen De. The difference is that Chen De still stands firmly on the ground while crying out.  Zhang Bao almost crawled on the ground and shouted loudly, as if the person framed for rebellion was not Chen De but himself.

    Zhao Jiong was originally a little happy that Chen De was defeated, but Zhang Bao was bitten by Chen De for his own indiscretion, and it seemed that it was true. He couldn't help but feel disgusted with him in his heart. Fortunately, he usually thought that this was the case.  He is a gentleman, so he couldn't help but let out a heavy "snort" in his nose, and said in a deep voice: "Since you two are ministers in the same palace, you must want to serve the imperial court. How can you cause such filthy things to make a fuss? It is really unbecoming of a minister."  , they are all punished with a salary of one year." After his attack, Chen De expressed his sincerity and thanked the Lord for his kindness, but Zhang Bai secretly vomited blood. Unlike Chen De, he had no help from other towns, and these Southern Tang officials entered the Song Dynasty.  They have not yet gained a stable foothold, and they have been squeezed out by the original civil service system. They have no job openings, and they dare not accept anyone's money. Therefore, they all live with their own hands, relying on their salaries throughout the year.  This year's salary was lightly fined by Zhao Jiong, and Zhang Bao's family was probably going to have a bad autumn wind for a while.

    Zhao Jiong knew in his heart that the punishment seemed to be 50 cents each, but in fact the only one who felt heartbroken was Zhang Bai. Seeing Chen De standing in front of the generals' court with a watchful eye, it was simply worse than Zhang Mei and Liu Yan letting these gangs go to pieces.  He is even more like a knife, and I can't help but want to find a way to deal with him.  His expression was all seen by Prime Minister Zhao Pu, who went out to say: "Your Majesty, there is the Chen family of Yimen in Jiujiang County. Since the founding of the foundation, they have been based on loyalty, filial piety and justice, and have been diligent and thrifty in farming, studying and passing down family traditions.  The hall is to establish family laws, respect friends and neighbors, and live in harmony with the family. Since Emperor Xuanzong of the former Tang Dynasty, he has received two honors. The veteran thought that if a family has a filial son, the country must have loyal ministers. With such a righteous family, one of the important officials of the court should be sent to praise him.  ." While he was playing, he glanced at Chen De who was standing next to him. He saw that the hairs on Chen De's body stood on end and thought to himself: "My surname is just 'Chen', which is different from Nao Shizi's 'Yimen'.  It doesn¡¯t matter at all.¡±

    Following the current, Zhao Jiong immediately said: "The loyal and filial family of Yimen in Jiujiang County should be greatly praised. Chen Qing has been stationed in the northwest for a long time, so he went to the south of the Yangtze River on my behalf and bestowed a gold plaque on the Chen family of Yimen."

    As soon as the golden words were spoken, Chen Dewei bowed down to accept the order.  The courtiers around him were all gloating about his misfortune, but he was cursing secretly in his heart.  The tolerance of this era is not as high as that of later generations who flew to Hainan in just one plane. It was a tiring journey and a long journey. If you were to hunt on behalf of the sky, you could still get some gift bags from the local officials. However, along the way, the Song Dynasty government and Chen Yimen, who was already a moral model in the world,  Will you give yourself a good look as a feudal lord?  Even if Chen De had his toes, he still wanted to get it.

    When he saw Chen De retreating among the courtiers with a frown on his face, Zhao Jiong felt relieved. Although the Anxi Jiedushi could not touch him for the time being, he had to order him to run back and forth so as not to cause trouble to his Northern Expedition plan.  After all the foreign ministers had retreated, Zhao Jiong lowered his face and asked: "After Chen De came to Beijing, did he have any collusion with Li Yu and the old ministers from Jiangnan?"

    Wang Qian said: "This man only goes out to play on both sides of the Bianhe River every day. He always wears a kerchief and a white robe, and wanders around the market, specializing in inquiring about the buying and selling of various goods, just like he has been doing business for many years. The ministers have not made friends with anyone.  The neighboring Longxi County Duke's residence also did not visit, but sent his sergeants to send Li Yu hundreds of pieces of silk and two jars of golden melon seeds." Li Yu had a rich bag when he entered Bianliang. In the past few years, Song Dynasty executives have been blackmailed  Blackmail and Jiangnan's old ministers came to harass Qiu Feng, almost destroying his family fortune.  Even some of the singers and dancers who accompanied Li Yu into the palace were extorted by the self-proclaimed and romantic bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty.Apart from a few old and shabby servants, he was the only one left alone, and his life was quite miserable.  Chen De also heard people say that Li Yu's life was quite embarrassing, and he had just ordered the sergeant to send money and silk, which was both public and private.

    Zhao Jiong nodded when he heard this and sighed: "Although this Chen De has a bad temper and a tough temper, he is still a person who cares about the past. He is also sensible and sensible. If he hooks up with Li Yu, he will be a reminder to his old master. Such a good minister and general.  , can't be used by me, it's just luck." Although the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed by the Song Dynasty, the court's monitoring of Li Yu was still quite tight, because the Han people in the Central Plains were deeply obsessed with Zhengshuo, and Bianliang had gone through five dynasties.  , the Hu people in the north claimed to be the emperor Guo'er, and even the ancestral temple's important artifacts and books were moved to Shangjing by the Khitans. Xiangyan claimed to be Zhengshuo, which was really a bit guilty.  The Li family of Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River claims to be the superior Tang Dynasty orthodoxy, which has really won over a group of people. Even foreign countries thousands of miles away actually regard the Jinling Tang Dynasty as Zhengshuo.  What Zhao Jiong is most concerned about is the word Zhengshuo, so humiliating Li Yu is not exactly a cat-and-mouse mentality.

    When Zhao Jiong was in charge of Nanya, Kaifeng Prefecture, he was used to seeing all kinds of things in the market and all kinds of people, and he developed the ability to recognize talents. Otherwise, he would not have the ability to promote new scholars in a drastic way, and almost slowly transformed the entire Song Dynasty from local to provincial level.  All the officials in the six ministries underwent a major change.  He listened to Wang Qian's report on what Chen De had done. This person valued friendship, was not extravagant, and was not greedy for power. If he had taken this person into his own pocket when he was just starting out, he would be an effective minister.  However, this person had gone through many changes, first serving in the Northern Han Dynasty, then switching to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then led a large army back to the Han Dynasty to seize Hexi, and gradually became a powerful figure with the support of his subordinates.  Just like his eldest brother who was forced to wear a yellow robe, at this point, many things have become a tiger, and the general trend of the world is pushing forward. Even if Chen De himself wants to be loyal to the imperial court, he can't believe him.  The good ending is that he will live in Bianliang for the rest of his life like the King of Money; the bad ending is that he will be given a glass of poisonous wine.  It is the interest of the imperial court to wipe out the feudal towns.

    Zhao Jiong put an end to the idea of ??subduing Chen De, and then asked: "How is the situation in Hexi?"

    Wang Qian said: "After General Dong handed over Lingzhou City to the Anxi Army, the troops under Chen De have dispersed to eat, and no hedgehogs have gathered in Lingzhou to threaten Guanzhong."

    Cao Bin said: "When Chen De's troops left Lanzhou, they plundered all the people's houses and sold them one after another. Fortunately, General Tian opened a warehouse to release grain, so that the people could be rescued from danger.  Otherwise, how many people in Lanzhou will starve to death this winter." These situations were all reported by Tian Qinzuo, but how could Cao Bin know the truth? Tian Qinzuo allowed his subordinates to occupy fertile land in Lanzhou, and many of them  It turned out that the households in Lanzhou were reduced to landless tenants again.

    Zhao Jiong smiled and said: "These rude soldiers love to make money." However, he stopped pursuing the matter and instead discussed in detail with Zhao Pu and Cao Bin the military ration reserves for the Northern Expedition to Taiyuan two years later.

    Chen De returned to his mansion and told Huang Wen the news that he would represent Jiujiang Yimen on behalf of the imperial court. Huang Wen said happily: "Is it true? I left my hometown when I was a child and never went back." She was originally  She is from Jiangxia. She has never returned to her hometown since she was adopted as a palace maid during the war.

    Chen De rarely saw her showing such excitement. He thought that this trip to the south of the Yangtze River was a mistake. He smiled and said: "Since Madam is going with us, we will walk slowly, visit the mountains and rivers along the way, and search for strange things."  , Live and drink." He secretly speculated that Zhao Jiong should also hope that he would walk slower and not return to Bianliang so quickly to be an eyesore.

    Before entering Bianliang, Chen De would either discuss military strategies with his generals during the day, or patrol the battalions to show his confidence, or work hard outside. When he returned to his home, he would always spend most of his time thinking deeply about the pros and cons of various decisions. Occasionally he would have some free time, and  Looking for some military strategies at this time, or notes from predecessors, or anecdotes from the Western Regions to read at night. Since Huang Wen followed him, her husband and wife have hardly spent time traveling together. Now they have the opportunity to make up for it. Chen  De was also extremely happy.

    After coaxing Huang Wen to smile, Chen De just went to the study room, summoned Zhang Zhongyao, and told him about the situation in the court today.  Zhang Zhongyao smiled and said: "Looking at today's situation, even though the officials have the intention of cutting down the vassal in Anxi, they are willing to hold back until the war in the east is decided. There is nothing they can do to you. The only way is to make you run around and work hard to express what is in your heart."  Hurry." Under his words, he was full of contempt for Zhao Jiong. People are so strange. When he was full of hope for the official family of the Song Dynasty but was severely abandoned, all the original goodwill and admiration turned into contempt and even hatred.  Even Zhang Zhongyao, who is both civil and military and skilled in human nature, is not exempt from vulgarity.
