Text Chapter 205 Yuan Yu Armillary Image
Wu Juan just guessed Ye Qing's crossing of the river from Luo Shichuan's body, maybe it was related to Pu Luhun, but at first he was just guessing, but as more and more rumors came from the other side of the Huai River in the past two days, this made Wu Juan have to wonder if the fact that Pu Luhun was dead on the other side of the river was related to Ye Qing.
Although the Jin people are not tracking down with much fanfare, nor are they announcing the death of Pu Luhun, the servant of the Criminal Department of the Jin State, Sizhou, a city with a mixed fish and dragon and a large population flow, has begun to circulate various news versions.
In the opinion of Wu Ju, although there is no shadow of Ye Qing in various versions, the more this is the case, the more he doubts, will Ye Qing be the mastermind of this matter?
Among the various gossip rumors circulating in Sizhou City, the clearest and most convincing one is said to have come from a house in Zhongmiao Town with a high reputation and a very close relationship with the Jin people.
Purhun was a guest at the house that night, when suddenly the Tatars broke into the door and took him with him, but no one knows where he took him.
"How did you die?" Ye Qing looked at Zhao Gou's secret decree in his hand, raised his eyelids and asked quietly.
"Died in the caravan of the Jin people, miserable, it is said to be ......." Wu Juan thought for a while and said: "It is said that when Pu Luhun was found, his back was already a puddle of rotten meat, and when the whole person was lifted up, the body was suddenly broken at the waist, and the colorful intestines and some insects flowed all over the ground. ”
"How many days have it been since Puluhun's body was found?" Ye Qing put down the secret decree and pushed it to the military judgment and said.
"I don't know the specifics of this, it may have been discovered earlier, but when the Jin Ren Mansion arrived, it was possible to be late." Wu Juan nodded and said.
But I knew in my heart that Ye Qing was in the brothel, but he had conspired with the Tatars for a long time, and then the two of them, who were about to kill each other as soon as they met each other, actually walked out with affectionate greetings.
Although I don't know if the Tatars who plundered Puluhun were the Tatars who conspired with Ye Qing that day, it is impossible that there has never been a Tatar city in Sizhou, or on both sides of the Huai River, two groups of Tatars poured out at once.
"If the people at hand are not nervous, send some people over to take a look, if there is any rumor that is not conducive to our Great Song Dynasty, if it can be broken, it will be broken for him, the grievances and grievances between the Jin people and the Tatars, don't involve us, so we will suffer unjustified disasters." After Ye Qing pointed to the secret decree, he continued: "Look at the will of the Emperor Taishang. ”
"This ...... Weekend....... The martial judge hesitated for a while, and when Ye Qing said this, he obviously admitted that the death of Pu Luhun and the others was related to him.
After hesitating in his heart, he finally picked up the decree according to Ye Qing's meaning and looked at it carefully.
While looking at the holy decree, Wu Juan was still thinking about the reason why Ye Qing wanted to kill so many golden people, but when he saw that the decree was written: The imperial court will send Shaoqing of Dali Temple to come over to strictly investigate the matter of paying taxes, and hope that Dali Temple will give full help from the side, Wu Juan suddenly felt a little entangled and immediately relieved!
The moment he handed the holy decree in his hand to Ye Qing, Wu Ju's expression was obviously much more relaxed, this time he finally made the right bet, between the Tang family and Ye Qing, he felt that he had made the most correct choice.
And after Ye Qing faintly admitted that the death of Pu Luhun and the others was related to him just now, instead of thinking about how to choose the relationship between himself and Ye Qing, he admired Ye Qing's courage and strategy very much in his heart.
It's just that he wants to break his head, and he doesn't know why the Tatars would risk being pressured by the Jin people to bear the charge of murdering the Jin courtiers and the Jin people for Ye Qing.
"So what now?" Wu Juan looked at the thoughtful Ye Qing and asked.
"I should also go to Yangzhou, Dali Temple Shaoqing will arrive in a few days, I am afraid it is not appropriate for me to continue to stay in Sizhou." Ye Qing shook his head, behind this will, it was completely Zhao Gou's intention to ask Huainan East Road for money.
Although the will was directed at Shen Fa, the governor of Sizhou, and asked him to search for evidence between Shen Fa and the Jin people, including evidence of ink greed, there was no mention of the ink greed of the City Bo Division and the Imperial City Division at all.
After all, according to what the military judge told him at the beginning, all the greedy ink in Sizhou accounted for three of them each by the City Division, the Imperial City Division, and the state capital, and the remaining one percent was used to dot up and down, just like the common small treasury of the three of them.
But why didn't you even mention the Imperial City Division and the City Division, is it because you are the Imperial City Division, so you didn't mention it? So why can the city be missed?
What's more, the Imperial City Division has only been in office for a few days, if Zhao Gou wants to rectify, this is the best time, and it is right for him to come forward to rectify it, does Zhao Gou not trust himself?
Shaking his head again, Ye Qing no longer thought about these incomprehensible questions, for him, this decree had at least completely and clearly told himself that Zhao Gou did not plan to kill himself after Ning Guogong and others of the Zhao Song clan were blocked and died on the other side of the Huai River, and that was enough.
Assisting Yu Yunwen to finish his errand in Yangzhou, he can return to Lin'an City generously, and don't care about the rest.
In the end, Ye Qing gave only two tasks to the military judge, to see Shen Fa, who was still in Sizhou, to take the evidence in his hand and hand it to Yu Yunwen, and secondly, the people of the Imperial City Division, who could be mixed with the various caravans, would be scattered.
In the future, all kinds of news from the northern land, including the Xia Kingdom, the Tatars, and the Jin Kingdom, will be provided to Ye Qing by his military judgment.
Although Wu Juan knew that it would take time for the Imperial City Division to restore the unpredictable past it had at the beginning, he still agreed without hesitation after seeing that Ye Qing trusted him so much and handed it over to him to handle it.
Naturally, in this process, Ye Qing will also help him digest, absorb, and even continue to break up the original composition of the Imperial City Division in Sizhou.
At the Dianjiangtai in the palace of Lin'an City, Zhao Gou and Zhao Yan raised their eyes and looked into the distance, and there were dozens of palace maids, eunuchs, etc. behind them and beside them, even if the father and son were in the palace, the pomp and circumstance were extremely grand.
"Father, Yu Yunwen has already gone to Yangzhou three days ago, and it should be almost there at this time." Zhao Yan smiled and said one shoulder behind Zhao Gou.
Zhao Gou was silent, continued to look at the Qiantang River in the distance, or looked at the Lizheng Gate not far away, sighed and said: "At that time, Emperor Zhezong's wisdom and martial arts, and his martial arts were even more chasing after Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong. ”
"Since the dissection of heaven and earth, the five virtues have been transferred, and each has its own suitability...... After Tude, Mude followed, Jinde followed, Fire Virtue followed, and Water Virtue followed...... The country is subject to Zen in Zhou, Zhou Mude, wood fire, together with the king of fire, its color is still red, is to my great Song Naiyan Song is also. Zhao Yan recited the origin of the fire virtue of the Great Song Dynasty, and why no matter the princes and nobles, or the royal family, the officials and soldiers, they have the meaning of red.
"Not bad." Zhao Gou turned his head, looked at Zhao Yan with appreciation, and continued: "At the beginning, Emperor Zhezong ordered Su Song to build the "Yuan You Armillary Instrument", which was built because of the incompatibility of water and fire, and the meaning that water can extinguish fires, so as to place it in the southwest town of water, and continue the great luck of my Yan Song Dynasty. ”
Zhao Gou sat down on a chair, and then motioned for Zhao Yan to sit down and said: "In the past two years, I have summoned Su Song's son Su Xi, including Han Gonglian, who helped Su Song build the "Yuanyou Armillary Celestial Instrument", and even Zhu Xi and others, all of whom were summoned by their father and emperor to rebuild the town's water conservancy system, but they have never been able to build it. ”
"The retainer has heard his father talk about this, but he ......."
"Father doesn't give up." Zhao Gou sighed, frowned, and said: "My father is located in you, and I support your Northern Expedition, etc., but my father thinks that it is not as good as the "Yuan You Armillary Instrument Elephant" that Emperor Zhezong ordered Su Song to build back when he built it. It's just that now my Great Song Dynasty uses a lot of money, and my father doesn't want to interfere too much with the government, so I can only hope that Huainan East Road, for my father to give some silver, to help my father continue to build this "Yuan You Armillary Instrument" for you, in order to pray for my Yan Song Dynasty, the continuation of the national fortune is much better, but it is not good, once this "Yuan You Armillary Elephant" is built, you can be like Emperor Zhezong to recover the Qing Tang Dynasty and defeat the Xia Kingdom twice, and create another great achievement of my Great Song Dynasty! ”
"The father and the emperor have worked hard, and the sons and sons must remember it. If the father is in need, the son is ....... Zhao Yan hurriedly got up and saluted, thanking Zhao Gou for his support and expectations.
"No, since Yu Yunwen, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, went to Yangzhou, he must be able to bring back a lot of silver for his father, not to mention, you must have heard about it in the court, Huainan East Road is seriously taxed, but it is difficult to enter my Great Song Dynasty, they are in the name of raising troops to resist Jin, I don't know how much they are greedy for ink, and now the relationship with the Jin people is stable, it is time to knock them." Zhao Gou said with a smile.
Zhao Yan nodded silently, Huainan East Road is seriously taxed, and it is not the first time he has heard of it.
But helplessly, Huainan East Road is located in the north of the Yangtze River, close to the Huai River, and the Jin people across the river, these years are not not broken by the Jin people, occupy Yangzhou, and then directly point to the Zhenjiang River, so whether it is Zhao Gou or himself, it is rare to take the Huainan East Road north of the Yangtze River as the real Great Song Dynasty land, more for the purpose of military strategic buffer.
It is precisely because of this that after being recaptured by Yu Yunwen and Li Xianzhong and other generals a few years ago, although the imperial court actually controlled Huainan East Road, many times, it was completely left to fend for itself, as long as it was not easily taken away by the Jin.
As for taxes, etc., as long as they can be paid to the imperial court every year, it is enough, as long as the personnel appointments and dismissals of the imperial court can still be effective on Huainan East Road, and it is enough for the imperial court to still give Huainan East Road a certain amount of deterrence and containment.
Now my father wants to collect a part of the tax from Huainan East Road to build the "Yuanyou Armillary Elephant", presumably because Huainan East Road is in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and is a dispensable place, right?
