    "What a nonsense." After listening to Zhang Zhongyao's report, Gao Qiong actually became a disciple of the Ministry of War and actually sent Gao De to the palace to be his father-in-law. Chen De couldn't help but laugh and cry.  Eunuchs in the two Song Dynasties had always been suppressed by scholar-bureaucrats. Gao De was no match for the father-in-laws in the palace who wanted to climb up, so he did not worry about leaving any trouble in the future.

    "Your Excellency, you want to prevent Gao De from harassing the lady in the forest, but you also don't wake him up. The subordinates are thinking that the only way to live up to their trust is to collect his gadgets that can commit crimes." Zhang Zhongyao also insisted.  Holding back his laughter, he joked with Chen De. He was also a member of an aristocratic family, and he hated to see such a scum who bullied others.  However, after the joke was made, Zhang Zhongyao's face darkened, he fell to the ground and said in a deep voice: "Sir, the soldiers of Chengying camp are the elites lurking everywhere, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives to achieve great things. Zhong Yao dares to ask you, sir, never do it in the future  Easily using the power of the Chengying Battalion to vent temporary anger. It chills the heart of a strong man."

    Although this task of eliminating harm for the people was done happily, everything must be done in a systematic way.  Zhang Zhongyao thought deeply, if Chen De randomly assigned Chengyingying to do some things that were insignificant to the great cause.  So negligent, how is it different from the green forest hero who is doing justice for heaven?  The Chengying Camp's strength should be focused on more important aspects, rather than fighting injustice everywhere.  If Chen Deruo is obsessed with achieving temporary success, that is just the pattern of a chivalrous man, but he does not have the ambition to conquer the world.  If you want to become a great businessman, your plans are deep and your thoughts are far away, but you have no time to take care of the present. This is why the prime minister ignores the murder case but is extremely nervous when he sees the abnormal cow.

    Seeing Zhong Yao's serious look, Chen De also put away his smile, stood up and returned the greeting: "What Colonel Zhang is admonishing is that this matter can never happen again." Both of them stood up, and it seemed that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Chen De couldn't help but smile.  He couldn't help but ask: "Speaking of which, gentlemen of Chengying Camp, do you feel happy about what you have done?" Zhang Zhongyao replied confidently: "It's fun!" The two looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing together.  After laughing, Zhang Zhongyao remonstrated with a serious face: "Since my lord is determined to conquer the world, he cannot do such pleasant things." Chen De smiled and nodded and said: "I understand, Captain Zhang is my Wei Zheng."

    Ten days later, Lin Chong led an army of 500 warriors to escort Chen De, the imperial envoy from Anxi Province, to Jiujiang. Zhang Zhongyao saw the serious Lin Zhongyao of the Xiaowu capital, Yuhou, sitting on his horse. He stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Lin Yuhou has traveled thousands of miles, and his house can be kept clean."  No?" Lin Zhong was quite surprised. He cupped his hands and said solemnly: "It's good, don't worry about it." He was in a good mood today. This time, he brought all the people who had experienced life and death in Huanzhou to his side. He must let these people  The domineering and disobedient Anxi Jiedu envoy could not play any tricks.  Zhang Zhongyao smiled slightly, said nothing, and returned to the ranks of the Anxi Army's hundred tooth troops. These hundred people were all cavalrymen riding Hexi healthy horses, guarding Chen De's carriage in the middle.  Even the accompanying Xiaowujun could only vaguely see the carriage through the gap.  Uninvolved people outside could only see the roof of a car in the distance. This was the style of an imperial envoy leaving Beijing on an order.

    Daibei Heshuo, in the border town army in Longyou Hexi area, no matter it is the scorching sun or the cold wind, running thousands of miles or routine border patrol, the generals' usual clothing, food, housing and transportation are almost the same as those of ordinary soldiers. The generals travel in sedans and carriages.  This is a shocking thing that is unheard of in the army.  However, most of the high-ranking officials of the Central Plains court, whether civil or military, traveled by car or even carriage. Even Cao Bin and Pan Mei were no exception. Chen De had no choice but to follow the local customs and take the carriage originally prepared for Huang Wen. Fortunately, the interior of this carriage was quite unique.  It's spacious, and it doesn't feel crowded at all when two people are sitting there. Instead, it has a unique atmosphere.

    In the car, Chen De flipped through the Jiujiang Chen family's information presented by Zhang Zhongyao and found it quite interesting.  The Jiujiang Chen family was founded in the 19th year of Emperor Xuanzong's reign in the Tang Dynasty. It has flourished to this day and has nearly 3,000 people who have not yet been divided into families.  Mr. Chen managed his family with etiquette and law, and founded Dongjia Academy as a private school, setting a moral example for the world.  The imperial courts of all dynasties have praised the Chen family of Yimen a lot. Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuanyu, personally wrote a poem "In Praise of the Chen family of Yimen": "After the banquet in Jinmen, the moon is like silver, and the phoenix is ??wearing a shanshan ring. I asked who is the best in the south of the Yangtze River.  First, it is said that only Yimen Chen is the only one." In recent years, the imperial court has increasingly promoted Confucianism, and the reputation of the Yimen Chen family has been rising day by day, almost comparable to that of the Kong family in Qufu, Shandong.  This time, Zhao Jiong bestowed upon him a golden plaque "True Good Family" and even wrote a couplet for the Chen family in Jiujiang: "The family of three thousand people living together is the best in the world, and they have been together for four hundred years and are unparalleled in the world."

    However, Chen De was particularly unfavorable about the future development of the Chen family in Jiujiang. Although the imperial court and local large families had common interests, just as the imperial court could not tolerate vassal towns, it would never tolerate the long-term existence of a large family with more than 3,000 people.  , and its reputation is rising day by day. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, whenever the officials of the court who are known as cruel officials go to places, their top priority is to attack the powerful. What is a powerful person?  It's not about what you have done, but whether you have the ability to do something. Just like the Chen family, although they have no intention of rebellion and self-reliance, their reputation and influence in Jiujiang are enough to pose a threat to the imperial court.  Someone actually said that the Chen family in Jiujiang was "the best family in the world". Where did they leave the Zhao family in Bianliang?

      During this journey, Chen De and Huang Wen, together with their personal guards, regarded this trip as an autumn outing. Whenever they visited famous mountains and rivers, they would climb to explore the beauty, view the strange rocks, appreciate the autumn leaves, and listen to the waves.  Sound and delicious food.  Zhao Jiong was afraid that Chen De would control Hexi, and his relationship with the Khitan Han people was unclear. He didn't want him to stay in Bianliang and get in the way, so he found an excuse to send him far away. Chen De was also afraid of "accompanying the emperor is like a companion."  "Tiger", the medicine that leads to the enemy is seen in the annals of history, but it is not very good to drink. I wish I could stay in the field as long as possible. When Taizong's Northern Expedition fails and Hexi is consolidated, I can escape. The tiger returns to the mountains and the dragon dives into the sea.  .

    Xiaowu's capital, Yuhou Linzhong, was not in a position to urge him, so he only sent additional men to guard all sides, called retinues, in order to prevent Chen De from abandoning his team and sneaking back to Hexi.  Before leaving, Mr. Dong warned that Chen De was as cunning as a fox. A large number of his Lanzhou subordinates had already withdrawn to Hexi. Now he must be kept under strict supervision, but he must not be offended, otherwise the Anxi Jiedushi would cause trouble.  Get up, the imperial court may not protect the small Xiaowu capital Yuhou.  This kind of truth has not been said in the dynasty since ancient times. Even if it is an enemy, as long as he has a high position and a powerful position, in the hearts of officials, the enemy is more important than the officials who serve the court loyally.  The Forbidden Army who had lived in the forest for a long time was naturally no better than that cynical young man. In addition to being extra vigilant along the way, he was also careful with Chen De and even Zhang Zhongyao and other Anxi officers, for fear of being falsely accused.  In the eyes of the Anxi officers, they felt that the Forbidden Army's Xiaowudu Yuhou was too smooth. He could not match the heroic spirit of throwing a spear with one hand and breaking the commander's flag that day. Except for Zhang Zhongyao, who had a similar experience, the other Anxi officers looked down upon Lin.  in mind.

    After a month of stop and go, we arrived in Jiujiang. This place is surrounded by thousands of mountains and surrounded by nine sects.  Since ancient times, Jiujiang has been a capital city where boats and cars travel and merchants gather.  In the Spring and Autumn Period, Jiujiang belonged to the eastern border of Wu and the western border of Chu, so it was known as "the head of Wu and the tail of Chu".  Qin Shihuang divided the world into thirty-six counties, including Jiujiang County.  Since then, Jiujiang has been called Chaisang, Xunyang, Jiangzhou and so on.  Precisely because Jiujiang is so important in the south, in the fourth year of Shengyuan of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Li family of Jinling established a school in Jiujiang, called "Lushan Chinese Studies", also known as "Bailu Chinese Studies", and its status was similar to that of Jinling Imperial College.

    "The imperial court gave the Nine Classics to hundreds of scholars from Bailu Cave in Mount Lu, and they were all very grateful." Zhou Shu, the magistrate of Jiangzhou, said cautiously. At this time, Bailu Academy was at its lowest ebb due to the change of dynasties.  During the period, its reputation was far inferior to that of Dongjia Academy founded by Chen's ancestors in Xunyang County.  Who would have thought that Zhu Xi, the master of Neo-Confucianism, would give lectures here in the future, making it one of the four famous academies in the world.

    It was really troublesome for Zhou Shu to receive the imperial envoy who came to present the golden plaque to the Chen family. Civil officials all over the world knew that the emperor was bent on eradicating the vassal town, and Chen De was the largest vassal town among the Han people.  But now he came on behalf of the imperial power. If he was not well received and this person turned against him and impeached him, his evaluation as a state official would be in danger.  Therefore, in the past few days, Zhou Shu was afraid that he would make a mistake and make life miserable.

    Chen De listened to Zhou Shu's introduction expressionlessly, and when he came to Jiujiang, he thought more of Hu Ze, the commander of the Tiande Army who lived and died in Jinling. In the original history, he defended Jiangzhou, that is, Jiujiang, and finally died heroically.  His death caused Cao Han to massacre the people of Jiujiang.  Because of his image, Hu Ze died for his country in Jinling. However, without Hu Ze in Jiujiang, there are still many heroes who are determined to fight against the enemy. In the third year of Shunyi, when the Jinshi and Zuojun recruited Ke Chang, he was defeated by the Song army and committed suicide in the city.  .  Although Ke Chang tried his best to resist the Song army, the losses caused to the Song army were not great. Cao Han, who originally commanded the Song army to attack Jiujiang, was also transferred by Cao Bin to besiege Jinling in advance.  Therefore, Jiujiang today still maintains its prosperity since the Southern Tang Dynasty.

    After Zhou Shu left, Chen Defang asked Zhang Zhongyao: "Where is the former residence of General Hu, the late commander of the Tiande Army, in Jiangzhou?" Zhang Zhongyao knew that he missed his friend, so he held his hand and said in a deep voice: "General Hu's former residence has been included in the Jiangzhou area.  The state prison camp was specially designed to accommodate criminals who were sent from various places. However, General Hu mostly lived in the military camp and the state capital, and rarely lived in his old residence. The imperial army was stationed in the barracks.  ." Chen De was sad when he heard this. Hu Ze was loyal to the country, but died for his country in Jinling. Even his body was not found. He wanted to pay his respects to Hu Ze's former residence, but he couldn't find it.

    When he returned to the dormitory, he saw that Huang Wen also had a sad look on her face. Chen De let go of his worries and asked softly: "It's a happy thing to go back to my hometown. What are you upset about?"

    Huang Wen looked up at Chen De, her eyes filled with tears, and she sobbed: "When my father took my mother and I out of my hometown and passed by Jiangzhou City, my mother felt sorry for me and begged my father to stay in Jiangzhou for a few days.  On that day, he took me to walk around the city. Today, the shops are still there, and the streets are full of cars and horses, but I can hardly remember what my father and mother looked like. It¡¯s really unfilial." After saying that, she sobbed softly again.  When he was young, he was hit by a military disaster. Both his parents died, and he was also taken into the palace. The child's memory was originally blurry. Over the years, many changes occurred, and the appearance of his parents in his memory gradually became blurred.  Returning to my hometown today,Trying to think back, the old scenes become clearer, but the faces of my father and mother seem to be getting further and further away from me.

    Note 1: "Book of Han¡¤Biography of Bingji": Bingji, courtesy name Shaoqing, was from Lu.  Ji tasted it again, and when a group of people fought on the Qingdao, there were casualties and casualties across the road. Ji did not care about it, but the history was strange.  When traveling forward, you will encounter people chasing cows, and the cows will gasp and stick out their tongues.  Ji stopped and asked the cavalry officer: "How many miles have you chased the oxen?" The prime minister said that the prime minister failed to ask before and after, or ridiculed Ji, Ji said: "The people fight and kill each other, the Chang'an order and the Jingzhao Yin are responsible for their duties.  It is forbidden to chase arrests, and it is just a reward and punishment at the end of the year. It is a small matter that the prime minister does not kiss, and it is not the way to ask. It is not very hot in the spring, and you are afraid that the cattle will be short of breath due to the heat. At this time, the energy will be out of control, and you may be injured.  Ye. That's why I asked him." Shi Nai obeyed and used Ji to know the general situation.

    Note 2: Dongjia Shutang has cultivated a large number of talents for the country at that time. For example, Chen's "Eight Talents and Nine Talents" and "Three Jinshi in the same list" are widely praised.  According to the genealogy of the Chen family in Yimen from various places: "Only in the fourth year of Qingli in the Song Dynasty (AD 1044), three out of four hundred people should be admitted to the imperial examination. Eighteen people, Chen and Xun, who were in charge of the dynasty, lived on the main road.  There are twenty-nine people including governors, Sima, soldiers, county magistrates, and concubines."  Famous in both the government and the public, he is famous throughout the country.  Therefore, many literati wrote poems and praised them: such as Qian Ruoshui's "Living in Dongjia, facing the white clouds, the righteousness is deep and can encourage human ethics. Children can do their best in poetry and calligraphy, but the door lanes are full of traffic and horse dust", Song Qi's  "The virtuous people studied and became more prosperous in literature, and the families passed down by filial friends are even more prosperous", Zhang Qixian's "In the book of children's songs and dances, the township party enjoys the rituals and music", as well as poems and calligraphy works by Su Shi, Chen Yaosou, Yang Yi, etc.  ¡­.
