Yi Song

Chapter 258 Bianjing, the shining literary star

Another outing was held in Yichun Garden, and Xixia surrender officials such as Xue Gongsu, Wang Shouxu, Liang Baichuan, and Zhang Langyan also received invitations.

"It is said that this outing was held by the East Palace at the behest of the officials. In addition to the clan officials, famous scholars and scholars were also invited. There were as many as 800 people, including the elites of the Song Dynasty and the nobles of the government and the public."

Qian Jili said excitedly, his round face turned red, like a monkey on Monkey Mountain who had grabbed the fattest fruit.

Tu Guanxiao, Tian Bangchen, Wei Wuya and others echoed excitedly from the sidelines, as if they had transformed from country bumpkins in a remote corner of the western border into the top cultural circle of the Song Dynasty and became one of the scholar-bureaucrats who "ruled the world together" .

Their eyes were filled with pride and a bit of disdain for other people's ignorance of current affairs.

Who is Liu Erlang? He is a king and a god in the northwest, but in Bianjing City, he is a vulgar warrior and a vulgar relative. If he wants to get an invitation to attend a cultural gathering, he has to beg for mercy.

"If you don't enter Bianjing, you won't know the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, the prosperity of the literary world, and the vastness of the world." Tu Guanxiao sighed leisurely.

The other people nodded repeatedly.

Their faces were all filled with the same look. The situation opened up, and he suddenly jumped to a new level, and he could look down on Liu Jieshuai, who he had to look up to before.

With head raised and chest held high, he merged into the crowd gracefully.

Xue Gongsu and others also followed into Yichun Garden.

Qian Jili, Tu Guanxiao, Tian Bangchen, Wei Wuya and others were all dazzled.

He stepped forward to say hello and found that there were several other people.

"This is Li Qingqing, the new top scholar." Pan Zhengfu introduced.

That one is the number one scholar, and this one is the Jinshi. The one who walked over was Hanlin, and the one who walked over was the bachelor. The person standing is a great scholar from Qingzhou, and the person who has just got off the sedan chair is a famous person from Jiangdong. Yishan is a member of the Ministry of Etiquette, Wailang, and Daopao is a member of Zhongshushe.

You guys are not far from death.

Xue Gongsu and others looked at each other and remained silent.

Seeing these famous ministers and scholars returning the greetings amiably one by one, Qian Jili, Tu Guanxiao, Tian Bangchen, Wei Wuya and others suddenly felt that they were recognized in public.

"It turns out to be Li Zhuangyuan. I've admired his literary name for a long time. I'm so glad to meet him!"

There are people everywhere, tables everywhere, and all kinds of food and drinks. This is a new way of outdoor banquets pioneered by Liu Erlang, and it continues to flourish.

This thought arises from the bottom of my heart, and the sky and the earth are widened in an instant.

Wow, the King of Gaomi County, no, because of the great victory in Pingxia a few days ago, the whole world celebrated, and the third prince Zhao Kai, who had been restored to the title of King Jia by the official, also came.

The young master Bai Shizhong came, the household minister Xu Churen came, the governor of Kaifeng Zhang Bangchang came, the prince of the East Palace Zhan Shigeng Nanzhong came, the minister of Baohe Palace Cai You came, and the minister Wu Min came.
A bunch of high-ranking officials, celebrities and scholars came together to bring Qian Jili, Tu Guanxiao, Tian Bangchen, Wei Wuya and others. Their whole bodies were trembling with excitement, and they quickly followed the crowd and came forward to see the ceremony.

Walking around casually and greeting them falsely, Xue Gongsu and others met the Prince Consort Pan Zhengfu and Shi Duanli.

"It's a pleasure to meet you four." Li Qingqing complained, "Zhang Deyuan (Zhang Jun) is now the general magistrate of Ningxia Prefecture, and Cheng Boyu (Cheng Yu) is the general magistrate of Yanzhou Prefecture. They are all working in the northwest pragmatic practice. I am the only one who stays here. It’s a pity that Bianjing captured the inscriptions on pens.”

We came to Yichun Garden together, and the door was full of sedans and oxcarts of various colors. It was bustling with people calling for friends.

They knew that these two people were close to the Liu family and were considered their own.

Zhang Jun and Cheng Yu were considered to be among the few serious scholars from the Liu sect, so they naturally had to put them to good use. Before the Pingxia war ended, he, Yu Wenxuanzhong, Chu Linxuan and other direct descendants were urgently recruited to Shaanxi to share the military merits.

Zhang Jun, Cheng Yu and others were also directly awarded important tasks in prefectures and counties. Tongpan, in the absence of the magistrate, is equivalent to the head of a state and is responsible for the reconstruction and restoration of Ningxia and Yanxixia.

Li Qingqing was not transferred to Shaanxi. King Xue and others speculated that it might be because he was not practical and the commander-in-chief still needed his No. 1 pick to support the situation in Bianjing. "Deyuan and Boyu came back with letters. They talked about what they had done. It was really inspiring. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians from the Fuyan and Huanqing roads moved their families northward and settled in the land between Lingjing and the river. They temporarily used the army as their base. The method of settlement is to build extensive ditches and cultivate intensively.

Commander Jie had previously led the armies of Changshui, Desheng and Desui, and his military garrison skills were outstanding in the world. If we abide by the law in the old Lingwu land, we will definitely resume farming as soon as possible and regain the reputation of Jiangnan. "

Xue Gongsu, Wang Shouxu and others looked at each other and remained silent.

Liu Jieshuai's strategy for governing Xia was very straightforward. The six tribes of Dangxiang, the Weiming tribe of Pingxia tribe, and the other three tribes that were closely related to each other were killed and moved. All tribesmen were dispersed and moved into the interior, where they farmed honestly. .

The leaders and nobles of the remaining two tribes and other large and small tribes were either killed or sent as prisoners to Bianjing and settled in the Central Plains. The remaining tribesmen were divided into ten households, one hundred households, and one thousand households, and were assigned to the Five Elements Flag Guard.

A group of Han families who occupied the Lingwu farming area were killed, and those who surrendered were replaced with land and dispersed to various prefectures and counties in Hedong, Shaanxi. Hundreds of thousands of people who were originally robbed were given money and food and sent back to their places of origin; those who had settled for several generations were left behind and moved away.

The huge vacancies left behind were filled by soldiers and civilians from the Yanyan, Huanqing, Jingyuan, Qinfeng and other roads. These Song people, with their families and their families, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, half army and half civilians, had to stand firm in the bitter cold border forts for nearly a hundred years, so they should be rewarded.

The old land of Lingwu, especially the land between the Lingjing River, has abundant water resources and fertile land, which is no worse than Qinchuan. Now sharing it with them is a kind of reward.

As soon as this policy came out, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians became Liu Jieshuai's staunchest supporters.

After saying a few words, Wu Min attracted three people, two of whom were husband and wife.

"This is Mr. Xu (Xu Churen), the Minister of Household Affairs. This is Zhao Mingcheng and Zhao Defu, the son of the former Prime Minister Qing Xiangong (Zhao Tingzhi). This is his wife, Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Zhao is the daughter of Uncle Wen (Li Gefei), a great scholar in Qizhou, the fourth bachelor of the Su clan, and her maternal ancestor is Grand Master Wang Wengong (Wang Gui). "

Wu Min introduced to everyone.

He was a Jinshi during the Daguan period, and he followed Cai You and rose to high positions. When the Cai family fell, he quickly and flexibly changed his position and joined Wang Fu's sect, and even became a vanguard in the struggle for power between Wang Fu and Zheng Juzhong.

What's even better is that after Cai You came back to life with the support of mysterious power, Wu Min's relationship with him took a further step.

He is graceful, good at dancing, knows all the powerful officials in the court, and has a very good relationship with the Liu faction.

After a few words of greeting, Zhao Mingcheng hesitated. Everyone could see that he had something to say, but he kept circling around and couldn't say it.

Li Qingzhao, who was standing nearby, said: "In the past few years, Defu has visited Yangtian Mountain six times, visited Lingyan Temple three times, and climbed to the top of Mount Tai. He has obtained a large number of inscriptions, either inscriptions or rubbings.

I was sorting it out by my side, integrating the first and second volumes of "Inscriptions on the Stone". After the book was completed, he wanted to publish it all over the country, but Qingzhou was remote and could only print simple books.

Epigraphic rubbings, with texts and pictures, require a good printing house. The most exquisite printing technique in the world is that of Bianjing and Suhang. Suzhou and Hangzhou are too far away, so my wife and I went to Beijing, firstly to visit relatives and friends, and secondly, to look for opportunities. "

Xu Churen said from the side: "I have a relationship with Duke Xian of Qing Dynasty and Uncle Wen. When these two juniors come to my door, they must help me. I heard that Zhongxin Bookstore's printing skills are unique in the world, but they just asked for a door but were not allowed in."

So I entrusted it to my little friend and asked the two princes-in-law to help me strike up a conversation and ask the palace master to help with this grand event in the literary world. "

Pan Zhengfu and Shi Duanli looked at each other and realized that this was what happened. It shouldn't be a big problem, Liu Erlang and the palace owner are willing to betray the scholar Lin's face, especially in this kind of matter.

Besides, there is not only the face of Xu Churen and Wu Min, but also the face of Qing Xiangong and Wen Shugong. These two have some influence in the court and the local area, as well as their disciples and former officials.

""Inscriptions on Gold and Stone", we are well-known, and we are willing to help with the matter."

"Thank you, thank you!" Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao thanked them without words.

In a corner of Yichun Garden, Tu Guanxiao, Tian Bangchen, Wei Wuya and others were chatting with a group of Confucian scholars. A handsome and elegant man came over and cupped his hands and said: "I'm rude, I'm rude. I've seen a few great scholars." talent!"
