After several years of war, the Northwest Zhulu is like a reborn phoenix nirvana, glowing with new energy.

After the battle of Weizhou last year, Su Jin ordered the state capitals to shift their focus to the resumption of production, although the agricultural time had passed after the battle of Weizhou, and the rice could not be ripe, but the wheat could still be planted.

Li Chongying had a place to use, and Su Jin entrusted him with full authority to manage the agricultural and mulberry affairs of Jingyuan and Qinfeng roads, and under his leadership, digging ditches and cultivating fields and sowing were carried out in an orderly manner.

Except for a small number of people who have adapted to life in the towns, the vast majority of the people choose to return to the villages and fields and live their familiar farming days, which in the eyes of these people is a nightmare.

In addition to the construction of the border defense system funded by the imperial court, Su Jin also took advantage of the opportunity to go to the capital to invite merchants from the capital to open shops and do business in the northwest.

There are also a lot of specialties in the northwest, Chinese medicinal materials, fur and meat are also abundant because of the border of He Xixia, although after the war and harassment, but some of the industries in Qinzhou, Longzhou, Minzhou and other places in the rear have not all been destroyed, and after the peace agreement, the decree prohibiting the exchange of markets with Xixia, these things have naturally become sought-after goods; In addition, attracted by the duty-free policy promised by Su Jin, many mainland businesses have come to the northwest to set up branches one after another, which has greatly alleviated the pressure on employment.

The horse farms and mines of Su Ji, as well as the garment shops, cloth shops and grain shops that opened a branch in Suji, also absorbed five or six thousand local people.

Around the time of the fourth year of the New Year, after a few months of operation, the livelihood of the people was basically guaranteed, the people's morale stabilized, and the traces of war on this land gradually faded.

The New Year of the fourth year of the celebration is a rare and comfortable New Year for the people from all walks of life in the northwest, so that until the ten days of the night of Shangyuan, the atmosphere of the festival is still strong.

Su Ji hopes that the people will temporarily forget the memories of the past suffering in the joy and devote themselves to the new life.

In these ten days of festivals, Su Jin also put aside all distractions, and share the joy of family with his wife and children at home, after this year, he will be twenty years old after his birthday in October, this is already the third New Year of his own era, three years is not long or short, he has survived from the son of a businessman in Luzhou to become a member of the Northwest today, which is bittersweet and needless to say, he has finally achieved something, and did not waste his second life and more than a thousand years of experience and knowledge beyond this era.

On the night of Shangyuan, a family of more than ten people guessed lantern riddles in the garden, watched fireworks, and had fun, Xiaohuer had passed a hundred days, becoming more and more lively and cute, under the care of the female stars and the moon, she peed her pants several times with a smile with her little teeth.

When the atmosphere was warm, the door was smashed untimely, the janitor opened the small door and asked, it was actually a female dependent, about thirty years old, looking full of sadness, but the clothes were very luxurious, and there were maids and servants around her.

The janitor took the name card and handed it to the inner house to the housekeeper Yan Biyun, Yan Biyun glanced at it and said in surprise: "Why is my sister here, why did she come to Qinzhou?" ”

Everyone noticed something was wrong, and they all quieted down, Yan Biyun handed the name card to Su Jindao, who was sitting on a big chair with Erlang's legs crossed: "Husband, please look, my cousin is here, it's strange, my cousin is in the capital, why did she come to Qinzhou to look for us at this time, can't you just write a letter if you have something?" ”

Su Jin smiled: "Maybe it's a Chinese New Year to go to relatives, it's a cold day, do you plan to let your cousin stand outside the door and blow the cold wind?" ”

Yan Biyun hurriedly said: "Please, invite her in." ”

The janitor hurriedly trotted out, and everyone tidied up their clothes and stood at the gate of the garden to wait, and after a while, Yan Biyun's cousin and Yan Shu's eldest daughter Yan Shuzhen rushed in like a gust of wind, and when she saw Yan Biyun, she hugged her and cried.

Everyone was dumbfounded, how could this cousin cry when they met, this is too ignorant of the rules and too unlucky for the New Year; Yan Biyun was also startled, and thought that something had happened to Yan Shu, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Sister Zhen?" Isn't it uncle? ”

Yan Shuzhen shook her head with tears in her eyes and said, "It's not Daddy, Daddy is very good." ”

Yan Biyun hurriedly said: "Then what's wrong with you?" came all the way to Qinzhou, what happened? ”

Yan Shuzhen was even more tearful, sobbing and shivering, Su Jin hurriedly said: "Hurry up and let my cousin sit down and rest for a while, Xian'er didn't make a bowl of hot ginger soup to warm her body, I'm afraid she has been in a hurry, and her body is cold." ”

Everyone helped Yan Shuzhen to sit down, and brought ginger soup for her to drink, but Yan Shuzhen didn't drink it, just shed tears, and suddenly there was another amazing move, she got up and knelt down in front of Su Jin, crying: "Little aunt, help, the slave family is here to ask you for help." ”

Su Jin was startled, and hurriedly asked someone to help her up and said, "Sister, if you have something to say, it's all your own family, aren't you killing me if you make such a big gift?" ”

Yan Shuzhen sobbed and said: "I know that my family officials have had some unpleasant trouble with my little aunt recently, but after all, we are relatives, and my little aunt is also a large number of people, so I won't hate him; This time, I also asked my aunt to save my family, my family is in a big disaster. ”

Su Jin didn't know why, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yan Shuzhen sobbed and told Su Jin what happened, and finally said with tears: "How can my family officials have the heart of rebellion, I think there is a traitor framed, and now the stone official has been taken away and interrogated by Dali Temple, although the official has not been questioned, but I am afraid it is not far away; This crime of rebellion is a big crime, and there is that Laoshzi letter as evidence, once Lord Shi opens his mouth to testify, dozens of our family will die. ”

Everyone was stunned, Qi Qi gasped, Su Jin was also stunned, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, Shi Jie wrote a letter to persuade Fu Bi to abolish the monarch and establish a new one, how to listen to this matter and how unreliable, Su Jin's first reaction was that Fu Bi was calculated, this time the person who started the attack was intended to put Fu Bi to death, and the crime of rebellion was the crime of the Nine Clans, once convicted, Yan Shu would not be able to escape.

"What does Master Fu say?" Su Jin took a few steps and turned around and asked.

The official was very angry, and he wanted to defend himself when he met the emperor, but the emperor did not see him; The officials said that those who are clear are self-pure, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, and the emperor will not believe such tricks. ”

Su Jin sighed: "The rich brother still has that temper, this kind of thing would rather be credible than not, the emperor even took Shi Jie, obviously he believed it a little, if he didn't prove his innocence at this time, he was waiting for death; As soon as this incident came out, many people jumped out to demand severe punishment, and the rich brother was too naïve. ”

Yan Shuzhen cried: "That's why I just traveled for four days to beg my aunt to help my family officials exonerate, my family officials are stubborn, and he will never prove his innocence." ”

Su Jin frowned and said, "Doesn't Yan Xiang have any plans to save him?" ”

Yan Shuzhen said: "Daddy wants to avoid suspicion, he is the prime minister, and it is his son-in-law who is guilty of the crime. Daddy asked to resign from the phase because of this matter, and the emperor did not agree, but said that Daddy couldn't ask about this matter in order to avoid suspicion, and he would talk about it after everything was clarified. ”

Su Jin realized the seriousness of the problem, all kinds of signs show that Zhao Zhen seems to have some belief in this matter, that is the most difficult part, once Zhao Zhen believes it, and someone fanned the flames, it is very likely that even if there is no conclusive evidence, he will take Fu Bi, in this kind of matter, Zhao Zhen will never be soft.

Su Jin hesitated for a long time, couldn't figure out the clues of the matter, and was silent, Yan Shuzhen knelt down on the ground again and said: "Little aunt, at present, only you can save my husband's life, if you don't save it, our family will have no hope, of course, the slave family also knows the difficulties of the little aunt, everyone avoids these things, and it is understandable that the little aunt does not agree, the slave family is too selfish, and should have thought of this section." ”

Yan Biyun comforted softly: "Sister, don't worry, how can my husband not save him when he dies, let him think of a way." ”

Su Jin understands that the best way in this matter is to protect himself, but if he does this, he will be a turtle with a shrunken head for the rest of his life from now on, not to mention how his colleagues will look at him, even Yan Biyun and they will look down on themselves; But if you get involved in this matter, if you don't get it right, you will get into trouble, if you excuse it and be sitting, then your life will be ruined, Zhao Zhen will never be particularly kind to someone in this matter, maybe he is even suspicious of himself and Yan Shu now.

"Who wants you to come to me to save the rich man? Lord Fan and Lord Han have a good relationship with Lord Fu, and they are favored by the emperor, so you didn't ask them to speak? ”

"The slave family has gone, but Lord Fan and Lord Han both said that they can't help, so they can only secretly find out the facts, because someone has already said that Lord Fan, Lord Han, Lord Ouyang and my husband have formed a group together and become a small group that colludes with each other, if Lord Han and Lord Fan come forward at this time, wouldn't it just happen for others to seize the handle?"

Su Jin took another breath of cold air, it seems that the goal this time is not only Fu Bi, this is to wipe out all the cadres who implement the new policy, this series of plans is quite insidious, first to sue Fu Bi and conspire against him, and then to discuss Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu and others to form friends; Once Han Fan exonerated him, it just proved that they were a gang of collusion with each other, and the discussion of friends was confirmed.

The crime of collusion with friends is not much smaller than that of rebellion, and soon after Taizu sat in the world, he took Li Tang Shiniu and Li Dang Dispute as a lesson from the many troubles caused by the Li Tang Dynasty, and issued an edict saying: Anyone who is in the first place is strictly forbidden to call the examiner a teacher, a teacher, and he is not allowed to call himself a protégé. In fact, it is strictly forbidden to form a party, and later Taizong Zhenzong Dynasty also issued many edicts to reiterate this point; After Zhao Zhen ascended the throne in this dynasty, he also issued many edicts to 'quit the friends party', so it can be seen that the collusion of the friends to control the government is a bottom line of the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, once they cross the line, they will be severely punished, no wonder Han Fan Ouyang Xiu and others dare not come forward.
