Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Ji's major civil engineering work was not enough. He heard that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River was good, and an idea flashed across his mind. He asked people to destroy many luxurious buildings in the imperial garden. He recruited countless craftsmen from the south and asked them to imitate the white-thatched houses in the south of the Yangtze River and the two Zhejiang provinces.  In the imperial garden, straw sheds were built, and some village houses and outdoor shops were built, where eunuchs, concubines, and ministers could work as peasant wives, waiters, proprietresses, actors, vendors, and guests.  "It doesn't matter, he also got cranes, golden pheasants, wolves, foxes and so on, many rare birds and animals, each of which often comes in hundreds or thousands, and put them together in the garden.  Every autumn night, the wild birds are chirping, the wolves are howling, and the crows are crying. It would be fine if it was really in the wild.  But in order to show its closeness to the people, the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty was located in the middle of Tokyo, surrounded by residents.  Zhao Ji liked it very much after hearing it, and it had a bit of wild interest.  But the people outside the palace were so noisy that they couldn't even sleep due to the roar of these beasts. There were even some tigers and other beasts locked inside to prevent them from escaping from the palace and harming them. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Actually, it doesn¡¯t matter.  The system of the Song Dynasty was very weird. Even if Zhao Ji ignored the government affairs, the state machinery would still operate.  For example, Zhang Shuye took good care of Haizhou.  But you are the emperor and you have to act like one.  Zhao Ji, on the other hand, couldn't do enough trouble in the palace, so he went outside to do it.  There are many beautiful prostitutes outside, including Master Li, Master Zhang, and Master Wang. Sometimes they come back, and sometimes they don't come back all night. But when it comes to court meetings, the eunuchs can't say that the emperor is out of the palace and staying with prostitutes in a prostitute's house, so they have to say that the emperor is the emperor according to Zhao Ji's wishes.  I'm suffering from sores and it's inconvenient to go out to court. Let's disperse the meeting.  The truth of this matter is gradually becoming known.  Cao Fu finally couldn't stand it anymore.  Although he didn¡¯t say anything for more than half a year, because he made some people unhappy, his salary was not cut off and various benefits were withheld.  In the Song Dynasty, the official salary was part of the salary, and the benefits were part of the welfare, which still occupied the majority. The family lived a very hard life, which is why Xu Xian saw that several members of his family were full of looks.  But he was a pure man and couldn't help but ask Zhao Ji, if you continue like this, will you be worthy of your ancestors?  Zhao Ji was furious and sent Wang Fu and Yu Shen to interrogate Cao Fu. Yu Shen asked, how dare you, a small official, discuss important national affairs?  Cao Fu said, you senior officials don¡¯t dare to say it, only we junior officials can.  People like you are not worthy of being prime minister at all, and the country will die in your hands sooner or later.  Wang Fu and Yu Shen were furious, arrested Cao Fu, and imprisoned him in Dali Temple.  Cao Fu had expected this and asked his son to return to his hometown of Fujian with his wife and daughter. Before Cao Shen left, Cao Fu was exiled to Chenzhou for control.  When Cao Shen said that he was angry, his eyes were about to burst.  Xu Xian smiled. Cao Shen couldn't accept it, but Xu Xian expected it.  He comforted: "Master Cao, Mr. Cao has tried his best, and even his ministers have tried their best, but there are some things that can't be done without trying one's best, such as playing the piano to a cow, and trying to make the cow learn to play the piano. Do you think it's possible? However,  According to the ancestral family law, the punishment cannot be punished for the scholar-bureaucrats. Mr. Cao was imprisoned for being loyal and outspoken, and then under the control of Chenzhou. For the scholar-bureaucrats, it has reached the limit. In this way, your father and your family will be in peace.  Otherwise, the consequences would be worse. Your father is from Fujian, and Chenzhou is close to Wuling. The weather is hot and humid, but it does not hinder your father. This is a blessing, not a disaster, so your father can calmly arrange the family affairs and wait for the punishment.  "Are we going to let traitorous ministers take over?" "Not only are there traitorous ministers, but also" Xu Xian wanted to talk about the Jin people, but Liaodong was a bit far away from the Song Dynasty, and I'm afraid Cao Fu didn't know much about it.  Suddenly something occurred to me.  There are many differences between this world and the world before him, but there are many similarities.  Many people in previous lives lamented the demise of the Song Dynasty.  The reason is very simple. The Song Dynasty was politically open. Although it lacked martial arts, it attached great importance to internal governance and open people's customs.  For example, during the Tang and Ming dynasties, people were prohibited from going abroad due to maritime trade restrictions. However, in the Song Dynasty, people were encouraged to do business and go out to sea. Many laws were even set up to protect sea travelers, and the management of refugees was also loose. Many people immigrated to the country due to the increase in population.  If the Jin people did not invade the islands in the South China Sea, the population would grow faster, and more people would move to the islands in the South China Sea. In just one or two hundred years, the Chinese in the islands in the South China Sea would become the mainstream. If this change occurs, it will have a profound impact on the entire South China Sea.  China will have an earth-shaking impact.  Without the rise of the Jin people, the Song Dynasty would not dare to take action against Youyun Sixteen States, and could only concentrate on dealing with Xixia, and maybe focus on avenging Liu Fa. Although Xixia has Brother Cha, it is actually in danger. As long as the Song Dynasty grinds for another twenty years  , the probability of Xixia's destruction is more than 90%.  If you get Xixia, you will get a lot of cavalry, and then all the troops will focus on the north. When the Jurchens rise again, they may not be able to successfully move south. In twenty years, world history will change Some people regret it.    However, have you ever thought about one thing? Zhao Ji and his son are not things. On the contrary, although Zhao Gou is not a toy, he also attaches great importance to internal governance. Without the crisis of the Jin people's southern invasion, would the Song Dynasty collapse from within?  "Brother Immortal, what else is there?" "Ms. Cao, there are many things left. There is a large population, a small amount of land, serious annexation, the country has been peaceful for a long time, the civilized and martial arts are active, temples are spread all over the country, and millions of monks and Taoists are everywhere.  Farming or weaving, don't say that your father is just a secretary, he is a wise king and a wise minister. There are many problems in the Song Dynasty. Besides, you should go back to Fujian with peace of mind. " Fujian is good. The Jin people invaded south and stayed in Jiangnan.  It was not safe, so the Jin repeatedly waved their armies across the river.  As for the densely populated Lianghuai River, it has turned into idle fields (the border areas between the two warring countries were depopulated due to the war, and the land was barren, so they were called idle fields).  But Fujian was not invaded.  After talking for a while, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.  The four members of the Cao family were tired, anxious and suffering. They were frightened all the way and went to bed early.  Xu Xian continued to sit cross-legged on the bed, breathing and practicing.  Just when Xu Xian was about to take a rest, he suddenly heard Cao Shen shouting angrily from a few rooms away: "Put down my sister." Xu Xian hurriedly put on his socks and shoes and walked out.  Others also came out. Cao Shen was standing in the cold wind in his underwear, shivering. He probably didn't know he was cold, and looked up at the roof.  "Mr. Cao, what's going on?" "I just fell asleep and heard a noise in the little sister's house next door. I got up and saw two black figures leading my sister to the roof." "Don't worry,  "After Xu Xian finished speaking, he climbed up a tree and used the big tree to get to the roof. At this time, more guests were startled. Xu Xian did not look at them, but looked into the distance. Fortunately, although it was cold tonight, the weather was very good, and the moon was bright.  The white wind is clear, and in the bright moon whose upper half is about to set, one can see far away.  In the distance are row upon row of buildings, which is also the result of the increasing popularity.  Lingbi is only a county town, but because it is close to Bianshui River, the population is increasing rapidly, and many people cannot live in the city. Like the capital city, it spreads outside the city, and the city wall gradually loses its function, and in the hinterland, the government simply does not repair it.  City walls, many city walls collapsed, which provided conditions for criminals to commit crimes.  Xu Xian was still searching. At the third watch, Lingbi was no longer the capital. There were very few pedestrians on the street. Some boats were moored at the pier, and some boat passengers came ashore to have some wine to warm their bodies.  As a result, several domestic dogs were startled and kept barking.  After watching for a long time, I finally saw two figures flashing out of an alley in the distance, one of them carrying a person on his shoulders. ???????????????????? This figure is carrying Cao Ying, but his steps are like flying. I guess he is not weak.  Xu Xiandao: "Mr. Cao, don't worry, I saw them." As he said that, he jumped across the roof and chased them down.  Qin Suer said that we will be entangled for the rest of our lives, but Xu Xian just smiled.  A beautiful girl can be admired, but as a wife, Xu Xian will be intimidated.  At that time, he also thought about what kind of wife he was looking for, and the appearance of Cao Ying emerged. She was not particularly beautiful, but she was also delicate. At least she would not disgust him, and she was not seductive. She was well-educated, elegant and well-behaved.  .  It¡¯s not that he likes Cao Ying, it¡¯s just that he has roughly set a standard for himself.  It's impossible to like Cao Ying, she's too young.  But this also proves his good impression of Cao Ying, and Cao Ying calls Xian's brother, which also makes Xu Xian happy.  There are too many unstable factors behind Xu Xian, so his attitude is that things have nothing to do with him and he cares about them. However, for this little girl, Xu Xian finally made an exception tonight.  The sound of the inn gradually faded away.  Xu Xian followed the two figures all the way to the west, and the houses gradually became scarce, reaching the suburbs.  I also saw two figures carrying a woman on their backs, meeting at a hillock, muttering a few words, and running away to the west.  When the four of them saw Xu Xian, they did not dare to stop. They were too close to the county seat and they were afraid that someone would catch up with her, so they took turns carrying the two girls on their backs and continued running westward.  Xu Xian was not in a hurry and hung from behind.  It will be beneficial for him to continue like this. No matter what the skills of the four of them are, Cao Ying may be small and not heavy, but there is no light burden for a long journey!  Over time, the physical strength of the four of them will be severely exhausted. The longer they run, the better it is for them.  With their own thoughts in mind, they ran westward one after another. There was a small river in front of them. It was more than ten miles away from Lingbi City. There was a stone bridge on the river. When they got here, the people were even sparser.  There are crop fields, but there are more wastelands.  Xu Xian suddenly thought of what happened last spring, and what was ahead was Afraid of an accident, he finally took great strides to speed up, and hurriedly caught up.  The four figures gathered together, seemingly discussing. They crossed the stone bridge first, and then they carried two girls on their backs.??Fleeing westward, the two stayed behind.  The moon gradually sets toward the horizon, and the light instantly becomes dim.  Xu Xian crossed the stone bridge out of breath. The two people on the opposite side were also in bad shape. They stood there breathing heavily.  Seeing Xu Xian coming, one of them shouted: "Boy, you are so bold, you dare to interfere with our Holy Sect's affairs!" It's the Demon Sect again, and they are the ones Xu Xian doesn't want to touch the most.  If it weren¡¯t for Cao Ying, he might have retreated.  As for the knight-errant thing, go to hell.  He said: "You put the two girls down, and I will take them back without any negotiation." The two of them looked behind Xu Xian with their heads raised. The terrain on both sides of the river was flat, and they could see far away. There was no one else in sight, and they laughed at the same time.  One person said: "Boy, who are you? You speak in a very soft tone."  If so, I'm willing to redeem her with money. "How much money do you have?" one person said with a playful smile.  "You have this, kid," Xu Xian pretended to take it out from his arms and took out an ingot of gold, which amounted to more than a dozen taels.  This thing is worth a lot of money, and the two people's eyes glowed with greed at the same time.  Xu Xian held the gold in his hands and handed it to them. Just when one of them was about to reach out to take it, Xu Xian drew his sword with his other hand and moved the river eastwards. The sword was cold, like the river coming from the canyon.  Creampie, rushing towards the tall and thin man with great momentum.
