Song Gexing

Chapter 139 Thunder rang in my ears

Later generations often used the story of Jiao Yong being beheaded by Han Qi to accuse Han Qi of humiliating Di Qing. However, they could not find Jiao Yong after searching the history of the Song Dynasty. However, in the history of the Jin Dynasty and at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a general named Jiao Yong in the Jin Kingdom.

Yes, this Jiao Yong is a Han and a descendant of Jiao Zan, a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty. He also has a famous son Jiao Deyu, who served as a subordinate of Tongping Zhang Zhongshu in the Yuan Dynasty.

This is the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, an important minister of Kublai Khan, and a native of Xiongzhou. After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, Xiongzhou became the territory of the Kingdom of Jin. Jiao Yong naturally served the Kingdom of Jin.

Jiao Yong was captured when the Mongols destroyed the Jin Dynasty. The coach Tuo Lei admired his loyalty and bravery and pardoned his death penalty. From then on, he followed Tuo Lei in the north and south, and his son became Kublai Khan's confidant.

It can only be said that someone wanted to slander Han Qi and get a general who was good at fighting to be killed by him, but he did not expect that the generals with this name were more than 100 years apart.

It would be better to use the name of Northern Song Dynasty general Jiao Zan to make it up, because Jiao Zan is not the confidant general who followed the Yang family general in the novel.

Jiao Zan was born 50 years later than Yang Yanzhao, the general who guarded Waqiaoguan during the Renzong Dynasty. Isn't Waqiaoguan the place where Yang Yanzhao guarded back then.

Waqiao Pass is located in Xiongzhou, Hebei Province. Wasn't Jiao Yong killed by Han Qi in Hebei Province? Therefore, you must have some knowledge to spread rumors. Otherwise, the right person and the wrong time will be wrong.

You want to talk about people with the same name and the same surname, but how could it be such a coincidence that the same name and the same surname are both generals, and the surname Jiao is not a common surname, and they are all generals from Hebei. What a joke.

"Your Highness, you are back!"

Zhao Fang returned to the Prince's Mansion, and before he entered the door, he saw Ma Yue running towards him, screaming as if he had forgotten to bring paper to the toilet.

Before Zhao Fang could ask him, he continued anxiously: "Mr. Zhao, who is coming from Dengzhou, has gone. Madam Zhao sent someone to report the funeral. Imperial Attendant Cao is crying like a man in tears. Your Highness, go quickly." Let's see."

Zhao Fang was shocked, Zhao Qian died, it's okay, his sweetheart, sister Pan'er, couldn't help but cry.

He immediately ignored his manners and rushed towards the backyard. The guards and servants looked at each other in confusion, no one dared to dissuade him, and they just watched as they flew away.

"Sister Pan'er! Where is Sister Pan'er... Don't break your body from crying! Your husband is here..."

Zhao Pan'er, whose eyes were as swollen as walnuts, cried "Wow" again when she saw him running towards him, and threw herself into his arms and cried pitifully.

Zhao Fang, who was in a hurry, patted Zhao Pan'er's back and comforted her gently, while Song Yinzhang cried with him.

After finally persuading Zhao Pan'er, Zhao Fang hugged her and Song Yinzhang one by one and asked about the whole story. Only then did he find out that Zhao Qian had died of illness three days ago.

Zhao Qian's step-sibling, Zhao Wang, sent someone to ride a horse to Beijing to announce the funeral, and wanted to ask Zhao Pan'er how the funeral should be arranged.

After hearing this, Zhao Fang understood what she meant, and immediately stood up and said, "I will go to the palace and ask for a confession. I hope that my sister will prepare and go back to her parents' home for the funeral."

The ancients had different funeral arrangements for officials and people. Not only were the etiquette and standards different, but the time was also different.

The common people were not allowed to bury their bodies for more than seven days, and the officials were buried according to their rank and status. The longest was Qiqi 49 days, and Qin Keqing in the Dream of Red Mansions was 49 days.

The longer the time, the more glorious it will be. It is normal for Wang Zhao to have this thought. Who doesn't want his family to have a high status? However, although Zhao Qian was pardoned and returned home, he has not resumed his official status. This can only be done by his son-in-law.

In fact, Zhao Fang wanted to restore him to his official position at the beginning, but Zhao Qian himself was unwilling. He is a general, and he can only return to the army after recovery, so he declined.Now that the person is gone, there is no need to worry about it, it's just that it is difficult to run around for Zhao Fang if he is not in Bianjing, but it's so so so if he married his daughter.

Zhao Zhen saw his son who had just returned came again. He asked him curiously and found out about this. He did not hesitate to call Chen Xu, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and said: "Therefore, General Zhao Qian of Gaoyangguan passed away. I want to give him the fifth rank of Hengban. Which official post should Qing Jue confer?"

When Chen Xu heard about Hengban, he frowned. It was extremely difficult to obtain the official rank of a military official in the Song Dynasty, which was above the fifth rank. How many people fought for their whole lives, and they were still called generals from the fifth rank.

He opened his mouth to refuse, but was suddenly startled: "No, isn't Zhao Qian the father of His Royal Highness the Prince's beloved Master Attendant?"

Thinking of this, he glanced at Zhao Fang, bowed his hands and said, "Your Highness, I express my condolences! In my opinion, it is better to appoint him as the envoy of the Dongshang Pavilion. It will not only honor him but also show the emperor's great kindness."

It's really not that Chen Xu likes to flatter, but that he is a princeling himself. He is a fellow villager and student of Zhang Dexiang, and a good friend of Han Qi and Wang Anshi.

With such mentors and friends, he is naturally a proper reformist. Since the implementation of the Qingli New Deal, reformists and princelings have gradually been regarded as equivalent.

As time went by, the reformists who were not originally princelings naturally admitted that they were princelings.

Anyway, if I say it's not, I won't believe it, so it's better to just say it, and what else can you do to me.

But now that I have admitted it, I will naturally be more special to Zhao Fang. I can't say you are my boss and deny it behind my back. The gentlemen of the Song Dynasty were not so shameless.

Zhao Fang was overjoyed when he heard what he said. It seemed that he did not need to be a swindler. The fifth rank was a dividing line. In the Song Dynasty, only fifth-rank officials could grant the title of wife and son.

Those below the fifth rank are personal honors, and those above the fifth rank are family honors. You can give a royal decree to your mother and canonize your wife as a royal decree.

He immediately thanked me and said, "If Chen Qing bothers you, just go east to the pavilion to envoy me."

Chen Xu nodded with a smile and went to deal with the matter on his own. Zhao Zhen hesitated and said, "The prince is not going south again, is he? Ministers, dad can't help you with this matter."

Zhao Fang was indeed entangled in this matter. He didn't want to go with Zhao Pan'er, and he was worried that she would break down from crying. However, he was the prince and was no longer the king of Wei. He could do whatever he wanted.

If he goes, the courtiers will definitely block the door to persuade him, and when there is a big disturbance, Zhao Zhen will really cry.

After thinking about it, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, don't worry, my son won't be reckless when he grows up. Let Xiao Zhengzi take someone to escort Sister Pan'er. My son won't go this time."

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Okay! Okay! Then dad is relieved. Let the ministers prepare a memorial ceremony and send it together. It can be regarded as respect for Tang Mingzong."

Zhao Fang was still nodding his head after hearing this, but this last sentence made the hairs on his body explode, and he cried out in shock: "Daddy, what did you say! How did you...how did you know about this?"

Tang Mingzong is the posthumous title of Li Siyuan, the son of Li Cunxu of the later Tang Dynasty, and the father-in-law of Zhao Yanshou. These words directly pointed out Zhao Pan'er's identity, so how could he not be surprised.

It's not surprising that the prince's palace has the eyes and ears of the emperor and empress, but he has sternly warned about this, and yet someone dares to spread the word. This is unscientific.

You must know that the emperor did not spy on him because he was afraid of him, but he planted his eyes and ears because he was worried about his own safety. Normally, as long as he did not cause trouble on his own, spies should not report things to the emperor.
