Zhang Kegong's letter to Lu Benzhi was actually not written by himself, but by Zhao Tingzhi in the imperial history. After Zhao Tingzhi wrote it, he asked Zhang Kegong to copy a copy in person. The above content is mainly two, one is a big package, the upper knife mountain and the lower sea of fire are all filial sons, don't hurt your father Lu Jia asked; Although there is no evidence to prove it, he is willing to die Mingzhi, and only asks the official family to thoroughly investigate the case......

When Lu Benzhi's blood stabbing letter was sent to Zhao Tingzhi's public hall, this imperial historian was dining, with three or four dishes on a table, as well as a pot of wine from Jiehe Shang City. This distilled spirit has been advertised for a long time, and many of them have been given away in the name of Goshi tribute liquor, but it was only this year that it was actually launched.

Zhao Tingzhi, who has been an official for thirty-one years, is of course a person who can drink alcohol - there are so many officialdom in the Northern Song Dynasty, but he can't drink it before, but now he has practiced a good amount of wine - so after drinking the wine in the immortals, he feels that the undistilled wine is not strong enough, and he now has to come to at least half a pot of vigorous wine immortals every day.

"Zhongcheng, Lu Benzhi's blood stabbing book has been written."

Zhang Kegong put the blood book written on the white silk and presented it to Zhao Tingzhi with both hands.

Zhao Tingzhi glanced at it, took another sip of old wine, then picked up a piece of fish tarther with chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce and put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed and tasted.

Zhang Kegong and a scribe who was a little older, looked a little thin, and had a little resemblance to Zhao Tingzhi were all looking at him, as if waiting for something.

"Is it Lu Benzhi's handwriting?"

Zhang Kegong said: "It was written by himself, and the lower officials watched him copy it with his own eyes." ”

"That's good." Zhao Tingzhi nodded, "Fourth brother, put away the blood book." ”

"Whoa."

The answer was the thin scribe, he was Zhao Tingzhi's fourth brother, and because he failed in the test, he simply became his brother's staff.

"Let's get to work." Seeing that his brother had collected the blood book, Zhao Tingzhi sent Zhang Kegong out of his public hall.

Seeing Zhang Kegong leave for a while, Zhao Tingzhi said in a low voice: "Fourth brother, it's a pity that Lu Benzhi knows this child!" ”

"Big brother, it's not a pity that he can be a celebrity in history."

"That's right!" Zhao Tingzhi sighed, "It's a pity...... Go clean and don't let people see through it. ”

"Big brother, don't worry!"

……

When Han Zhongyan returned to his prime minister's mansion from the political hall, it was already evening, the rain had stopped, the weather was very cool, and the air was fresh after the rain.

Tonight, he held a family banquet in his mansion and invited Fan Chunli, the deputy minister, and Li Gefei, one of the four scholars of Sumen. Li Gefei is the high-ranking official who is considered to be not partisan and can convince the scholars of Jingzhao Mansion.

In the original history, Song Huizong did not attach much importance to this Sumen scholar, and in the first year of Chongning (1102), he was listed as the "Yuanyou Party" and dismissed.

However, in this time and space, Li Gefei was also stained with the light of Wu Haogu, which made Song Huizong look at him differently. It's not because Li Gefei is Wu Haogu's senior brother, but because Li Gefei's daughter Li Qingzhao and Song Huizong edited "Mengxi Writings" together. As a result, Zhao Ji and Li Qingzhao got acquainted with each other for a long time and became good friends. At the recent wedding of Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao, Song Huizong also sent Liang Shicheng to send a generous gift, which was the oil painting "The First Talented Woman in the World" signed by Zhao Xiaoyi, that is, Li Qingzhao's photo!

It's worth it! Today's official family has painted a portrait of Li Gefei's daughter...... How familiar are they? At this time, Li Gefei's popularity immediately rose, and he became a good blue sky of feudalism unanimously recognized by the old and new parties.

Since it is recognized by both the old and new parties, it is natural to go to Jingzhao Mansion to be the prefect. It was because of this that he was recalled to Kaifeng Mansion.

And Li Gefei and his father were both Han Qi's "corporals", so their relationship with Han Zhongyan was also very close - the Northern Song Dynasty also left some relics of the era of the scholar clan, and anyone who was recommended to enter the office was regarded as a corporal of the recommender - so as soon as he returned to Kaifeng Mansion, he immediately came to Han Zhongyan to meet him.

"Uncle Wen, the old man introduced to you, this is your junior brother Wu Chongdao's second brother Wu Wangdao, and he is also the old man's fast son-in-law."

In the middle hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Han Zhongyan introduced his son-in-law Wu Haowen to the visiting Li Gefei with a smile.

The person is very thin, and Li Gefei, who has a big beard, took a closer look at Wu Haowen, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, good, it's really a talent!" He paused, "Little brother Wangdao, I haven't seen your brother, I don't want to see you first." ”

"Brother will be in Kaifeng Mansion soon," Wu Haowen said with a smile, "Mr. Wen should be able to see him soon." ”

Wu Haogu had already received an edict from Song Huizong to summon him back to Kaifeng Mansion, but because there were many miscellaneous matters to be arranged in Jiehe Shang City, it was delayed, but he was about to return to Kaifeng Mansion.

"Oh, really?" Li Gefei touched his beard, "That's really there." ”

Although he had never met Wu Haogu, he had heard many things about Wu Haogu from his daughter Li Qingzhao - Li Qingzhao and Wu Haogu were very familiar, and he also earned a lot of manuscript fees from the "Oiran" album and the "Wenqu Xing" magazine.

"I'm sure I'll see it!" Han Zhongyan smiled, "Your errand in Jingzhao Mansion is indispensable to Wu Chongdao's help. ”

After listening to Han Zhongyan's words, Li Gefei was a little unimpressed. Although Wu Haogu's ability is not small, he is still his junior brother, but he is a good businessman after all.

Such an identity, in the Great Song Dynasty, where the literary style was at its peak, belonged to the next generation after all. Therefore, Li Gefei is also quite puzzled by Su Dongpo's introduction to martial arts.

Han Zhongyan said again: "Uncle Wen should always know what the official family wants you to go to Jingzhao Mansion, right?" ”

"It's a soldier."

Han Zhongyan nodded and looked at Li Gefei, "Uncle Wen, what do you think?" ”

Li Gefei shook his head, "It's not easy to do." ”

"Why?"

Li Gefei frowned and said: "The government soldiers were unusable as early as the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and they all relied on military recruitment when they arrived at Kaiyuan Tianbao, and now after hundreds of years, they have to be implemented suddenly, but they don't even have a clue." ”

"How can you not have a clue?" Wu Haowen interjected, "Wenqu Xing magazine has been discussing, and there are many scholars who offer advice. ”

"It's all on paper!" Li Gefei said, "It's useless at all!" ”

"But what Wu Chongdao did in Cangzhou is not on paper!" Han Zhongyan said, "He finally purchased more than one million acres of land, and he also brought in less than 900 knights...... This knight and the government soldier are also a little similar, right? With his advice, Lantian's government soldiers can always do it. ”

When Han Zhongyan was chatting with Li Gefei, a scribe from the Prime Minister's Mansion strode in, leaned over Han Zhongyan's ear, and muttered a few words in a low voice, and Han Xianggong, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly changed his face.

"People are dead? And the blood stabbing on the book? What's going on? ”

"That's what the family sent by Chen Yushi said."

Han Zhongyan waved his hand and sent the confidant away, and then sighed deeply: "Something happened, Lu Benzhi committed suicide." ”

"Suicide?" Wu Haowen was stunned for a moment, "In the Yushitai Prison?" ”

"Yes!" Han Zhongyan said, "And there is also a blood stabbing book!" ”

"Bloody book?" Li Gefei also frowned, "How did you write it?" ”

"......I don't know yet," Han Zhongyan said in a deep voice, "But you can guess that you must bear all the responsibilities, and then cry out for grievances, and die a clear will!" ”

Li Gefei asked: "Death is a clear will?" He's ...... In order to keep Lu Jia asked? If that's the case, he's a dutiful son. ”

Han Zhongyan nodded: "This dynasty rules the world with filial piety!" Filial piety is the first of all kinds, and one filial piety covers all kinds of ugliness, this time the new party has pulled back a game! ”

Wu Haowen was also nervous, and he could vaguely guess the hidden truth behind the fire in the military camp in the north of the state! This case was originally an iron case, but now that Lu Daxiaozi is dead, there is another Ming Zhi who will die, and this iron case is not ironclad......

……

On the same night, Wu Haogu and his entourage, who had returned from Jiehe Shang City, had already crossed the Yellow River and arrived at Guancheng County, where Zhengzhou Prefecture was located.

It is not possible to pass through Zhengzhou by land from Jiehe Shang City, but the road of Wuhaogu is along the Jiehe-Huanghe-Bianhe River. This is the waterway from the Jiehe River to Kaifeng Province in the south, and it is also the lifeline for the future trade between the Jiehe River and Kaifeng Province, so Wu Haogu would rather take a detour to investigate.

In the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhengzhou was once revoked and its counties were included in Kaifeng Prefecture, and it also served as the so-called "auxiliary county" (probably the meaning of auxiliary Kaifeng Prefecture). In short, it is a large and prosperous state, although the territory is not large, and there are only five counties under it, but the population is very dense (compared to the rest of the Northern Song Dynasty), at least three or four hundred thousand, of which one-third are concentrated in the small Guancheng County.

In Guancheng County, Wu Haogu also happened to meet Su Zhe's second son, Su Shi. Su Shi once lived in Yuntai Mountain with his father Su Zhe for a period of time, where he met Wu Haogu. After Su Zhe raised the Taiyi Palace, Su Shi also returned to be an official (he is a shadow supplement and has been an official for a long time), and became a Taichang Temple Taizhu - this is a "god official", responsible for reciting blessings in the country's sacrificial ceremonies. Su Shi went to the Great Song Emperor's Mausoleum in Gongyi to read the greetings, and now he is returning to Kaifeng after the greetings, passing through the city, and he met Wu Haogu.

"The fire in the military camp in the north of the state? And burned two people to death? also arrested Lu Jiawen and Lu Benzhi in Yushitai Prison? There is such a thing......"

Hearing Su Shi talk about the "Zhoubei Military Camp Incident" in Guancheng Pavilion, he was also taken aback, of course he knew that most of this incident was caused by Gao Yu - he gave Gao Yu 10,000 yuan to make trouble - but it was a bit unexpected to make trouble to this extent.

It seems that he still underestimated this Captain Gao before!
