King of Song

Chapter 263

Lin Shaoqing!
As soon as this title was spoken, Lin Zhao was a little puzzled, and looked at the young man in front of him warily.This person knows himself, and he also knows his latest official position, which is enough to show that this person is extraordinary.

Lin Zhao has no impression of this person, and doesn't know him!
"Lin Shaoqing don't need to be nervous, I don't have any malicious intentions!" The visitor hastily clarified, and said in a low voice: "This is not a place to talk, how about we talk about it in another place?"

Lin Zhao was still a little hesitant. This time he came to Gyeongju with a clear purpose, and he was bound to offend some people, so there was still a risk.After just experiencing a robbery and fighting, Lin Zhao was naturally extraordinarily alert, how could he just believe a suspicious person's words?

To be honest, Lin Zhao now has some doubts, whether the robbery just now was an act.Although such a thing may happen in itself, it is just a bunch of ignorant roughheads trying to rob a good horse.

But it may also be the beginning of a further trap, after all, this young man's bravery appeared too abruptly.And he directly called out his name, which inevitably made Lin Zhao suspicious.

change place?Where to go?Lin Zhao felt that his swordsmanship and martial arts were not as good as this person's. If he suddenly attacked in a secluded place, the consequences would be disastrous.

So Lin Zhao was naturally a little hesitant, and when he looked at the young man in front of him, he was a little hesitant.Turn around and walk away?Is this safe?It's okay to have doubts in your heart if you don't understand some problems!
The brave young man seemed to see Lin Zhao's embarrassment, smiled lightly, handed over his long sword and said, "I'm walking empty-handed, Lin Shaoqing should be at ease, I really don't have any malicious intentions."

Lin Zhao thought about it for a while, and it was true. If he intended to harm him, then he would have just shot, why bother to help him beat those reckless people away?
So it is possible that he really did what he did!Of course, there may be another purpose, but there is one possibility, and that is to get close to oneself.

No matter what his real intention is, at least for the time being, he won't hurt himself!After thinking about this, Lin Zhao felt that walking with him was nothing.

"Okay then, Your Excellency first!"

Lin Zhao didn't take the long sword either, so he got on the bay red horse and galloped away from the town together.

Soon, the two arrived at a small hill. Lin Zhao said in a deep voice, "Now, can you tell me your name? And how did you know me?"

The young man said: "Forgive me, Lin Shaoqing, in the next construction, it is..."

who?Kind of construction?
Lin Zhao was startled. First of all, the surname "Zong" was one of the famous families of the Northern Song Dynasty, Qingjian City Chong family. Is this person a member of the Zhong family? !
Secondly, Lin Zhaocai noticed his name——Zhong Jianzhong!

At first hearing the name, Lin Zhao felt a little strange, but when he thought about it carefully, his eyes could not help but shine brightly.Because he later had a more famous name - Zhong Shidao!

This name is very familiar, especially "Water Margin", which is well-known to later generations. Among them, Lu Ti governs the boxing town of Guanxi, which is even more famous.Among them, Lu Tixia mentioned a character——Old Jinglue Xianggong, who is exactly the kind of teacher in front of him.As for the other little manager, he is his younger brother Zhong Shizhong.

Zhong Shidao, named Uncle Yi, was born in Luoyang.Originally named Jianzhong, it was renamed Shiji because of avoiding the year name of Jianzhong Jingguo of Song Huizong, and was later named Shidao by Emperor Huizong.

At this time, before Song Huizong was born, his name was Chong Jianzhong.

Fortunately, in his previous life, Lin Zhao liked to read some books on history, so he had a better understanding of the way of cultivating teachers, otherwise he would definitely be blind today.

Zhong Shidao is a direct descendant of a family of famous generals in the Northern Song Dynasty and the Zhong family in Qingjian City.Since the release of Confucianism in the early Northern Song Dynasty, the Chong family has been shining brightly and become a dazzling star.

Zhongfang's descendants and nephews did not inherit his wealth, but made great achievements on the battlefield, and made considerable achievements in the military.

Zhong Fang is the great-grandfather of Zhong Fang's way of teaching, and Zhong Fang's brother Zhong Zhaoyan is the great-grandfather of Zhong Fang's way of teaching.His grandfather, Zhong Shiheng, was Zhong Fang's nephew, a famous general in the area, and a famous name in the northwest, the founder of the Zhong family army.During the war against Xixia, Zhong Shiheng made many military exploits and became famous.

In the early days, he was even comparable to Di Qing, with great military exploits, almost everyone in the Northwest knew it, and his prestige among the Western Army was very high.It is precisely because of Zhong Shiheng's fame and deeds that the foundation of a century-old family of famous generals has been laid for the Zhong family.

Zhong Shiheng has eight sons, Zhong Gu (Diagnosis, Consultation, Yong, Er, Suo, Ji, Yi), Zhong Shidao's father is Zhong Ji.At this time, Zhong Shi Dao was not well-known, and he was just a young man with a weak crown.

But at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, things were different.

During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Zhong Shidao initially served as a civilian. Because of his strategy, he later changed to a military position. He made great contributions to resisting Xixia and became a famous general.

In the first year of Song Jingkang, Jin soldiers went south. He was ordered to serve as the envoy of the Hebei system in Gyeonggi, and he advocated resistance to Jin.Not long after Zhong Shidao died of illness, and then the capital fell, this is all a later story.

At this time, Zhong Shidao was not yet well-known, nor did he have so much glory.It was only because of the meritorious deeds of the ancestors that he was able to serve in three shifts. After passing the examination not long ago, he was changed to a civil servant by imperial edict and served as a pusher in Xizhou.

It stands to reason that he should be on the way to take office now, but he appeared in Gyeongju in the northwest. From Bianjing to Xizhou, it is not a smooth road to go to Gyeongju.

When he revealed his identity, Lin Zhao immediately guessed his reason for coming, the reason was too obvious.

Who is Li Fugui imprisoned in Gyeongju Prison now?It is the fourth son of Zhong Shiheng.He is not only a member of the Zhong family in Qingjian City, but also a teacher of the species, that is, the uncle of the Zhong Jian in front of him.

Zhong Yong was imprisoned in an accident, and the Zhong family could not remain indifferent.Although so far, there has been no obvious move or news.But there will definitely be operations in private, it's just that outsiders don't know about it!
Thinking that Zhong Shidao appeared here, he should be running for his fourth uncle!Just why can he find himself?And recognize yourself?

In my impression, I have no contact with the Zhong family in Qingjian City at all, let alone met Shi Dao Zhong, how could he know himself?In fact, Lin Zhao still has some doubts about his identity. Either you say you are a kind of Jianzhong, or you are a famous old businessman.

Zhong Shidao seemed to be aware of Lin Zhao's concerns, and said in a deep voice, "Lin Shaoqing, don't worry about it. Although I don't have the chance to see the elegant demeanor of the honored master, I often hear it from my teacher, so I know something about the honored master."

"May I ask who is the respected master?" Lin Zhao couldn't help being a little curious. Today, he seemed to have really had an addiction to being a knight-errant, and his speech actually talked about the martial arts, which was a bit like a martial arts novel.

Zhong Shidao said in a deep voice: "My teacher, Mr. Hengqu, Zhang Zai!"

In emergency situations, Zhong Shi Dao did not talk about the etiquette of respecting the teacher, and directly said the name of the master.

Zhang Zai?Northern Song philosopher Zhang Zai!Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao brothers' cousin? !

Lin Zhao passed Luoyang on his way to Hehuang, met Zhang Zai at the banquet held by Sima Guang and Shao Yong, and had exchanges with him.

If his teacher is Zhang Zai, it is not surprising that he knows something about himself.

Historically, Zhong Shidao worshiped Zhang Zai as his teacher when he was young.Zhang Zai happened to be from Guanzhong, and he was a well-known local Confucian.Although the Chong family in Qingjian City is famous for their military exploits, their ancestors were released by a great Confucian.Since you are asking for a master for your nephew, you must be someone who is knowledgeable and highly respected.

In the northwest, Zhang Zai is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, which is reasonable.Moreover, the person in front of him has a refined temperament and a feeling of good knowledge, which is more in line with the identity of a great Confucian disciple.

Zhong Shidao seemed worried that Lin Zhao was not at ease, so he directly spoke about several things that happened at the Luoyang banquet at that time.At that time, there were only a few people at the banquet, so the credibility was immediately improved.

In particular, when Zhong Shidao shared some of Master Zhang Zai's views on the study of mind, Lin Zhao's doubts were almost all dispelled.

At that time, Lin Zhao made up some nonsense to deal with the situation, but Zhang Zai really took it seriously.After that, I still think carefully and analyze more.At this time, Lin Zhao seemed to understand when he said it through the mouth of a teacher, but he also concluded from this that no one except Zhang Zai, Shao Yong and a few people had this insight.

So he must be Zhang Zai's disciple without a doubt. Zhong Shidao has quite a lot of identity certificates on him, and he also brought with him the document issued by the imperial court to take up his post in Xizhou, which is undoubtedly the best identity certificate now.

From this, it can be completely proved that his identity is that he is the famous veteran who is a teacher in the future!

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "It turns out that he is a child of the Chong family. Mr. Zhang Zai is a high-level student. I am disrespectful and disrespectful."

Teacher Zhong said with a smile: "Where is it, I am taking the liberty, but some things are more urgent, so... I hope Lin Shaoqing will forgive me."

Lin Zhao naturally knew why Zhong Shidao was in a hurry.It's just that I am the official in charge of the investigation of this matter, and my teacher's way is equivalent to the family members of the prisoners, so it seems inappropriate to meet in private.

But since I saw it, it doesn't matter, not to mention that he saved himself by being a teacher!However, for some other things, if possible, it is better not to mention them as much as possible. It is naturally best to play charades with each other.

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Is your honor going to Xizhou to take office?" Lin Shaoqing obviously asked knowingly and changed the subject.

Zhong Shidao pondered for a while, and said bluntly: "No, I came to Qingzhou specially, just to find Lin Shaoqing."

"Oh? Find me..." Lin Zhao pretended to be surprised.

Teacher Zhong said: "Probably Lin Shaoqing also knows why I came to see you. Please rest assured that I definitely don't want to be an uncle... The Zhong family has very strict family education, and the Zhong family is well-behaved. They don't know those things Shameful things... I am not here to plead for mercy, but to complain to Lin Shaoqing!"

Uh... is there a difference?
Lin Zhao couldn't help but smiled wryly, and suddenly asked, "By the way, you haven't told me yet, how did you recognize me?"

PS: For the sake of clarity and intuition, let’s directly call it the way of teachers in the following text!In order not to cause confusion, I hope you understand!
