Chapter 201: Flower Candles in the Cave Room
※ Staring at the sky and worshipping the high hall, the bride was sent to the cave room to rest. But the groom's official charcoal is a blessing. I have to come out immediately to entertain relatives and friends, and drink this. Things have been indispensable since ancient times. Xu Wei is a martial minister again, and no one "pities him" even his eldest brother Xu Yuan poured three cups. The woman's family was not allowed to sit at the table, so she went to the back room to eat together. Her surname of the Xu family is rare to get together, except for Xu Dahun's family in Jingyuan, Xu Si, Xu Wu, and Xu Liu's wives are all present. Xu Xiuping was straightforward and fast-talking, she couldn't hide her words, and complained from beginning to end, saying that the He family was too stingy, and this dowry was simply purchased according to the dowry given by our family, and it would not be much money.
Xu Shao, Zhi Yanzhi, Zhang Shuye and others were all in important positions, entangled in military and government affairs, and they resigned and left after half of the meal. Xu Wei held on for a long time. By the time the guests were almost gone, he was almost drunk. In the end, Yang Yan and Zhang Qing were carried into the new house, and a large group of stunned young people from Xujiazhuang coaxed behind, clamoring to make trouble in the cave house.
As soon as the door opened, the crowd looked inside, and saw the nouveau riche in a life dress still wearing a hijab on his head, sitting upright on the edge of the bed. Yang Yan was carrying Xu Jiu hard there, and suddenly felt that he couldn't drag it like Mount Tai was pressing, and then it was Zhang Qing's ghost.
"That, brother and sister, our brother is really top-heavy, he really can't lift it, you see, just put Lao Jiu at the door?" Zhang Qing made it clear that he was giving the bride a problem, and Yang Yan immediately understood, so he put Xu Wei on the edge of the threshold, waiting to see what the ninth sister-in-law would do.
Later, Ma Tai, Zhou Xiong and others giggled, squeezing their eyebrows; This marriage will be held, and there will be no big difference within three days, and they are not afraid that Xu Jiu will settle accounts with them when he wakes up. At that end, Zhang Jiujiu slowly got up and said, "Uncles have worked hard. Then, probably because the hijab blocked her vision, she walked to the door in small steps, and after seeing her husband's position clearly, she passed through her armpits with both hands and hugged Xu Wei up. When Zhang Qing and the others were dumbfounded, she was already covering Xu Wei with the quilt.
"I heard that the ninth sister-in-law is from a military family, so let's withdraw quickly." Ma Tai pulled Yang Yan and whispered.
"So what? You and I are all from the battlefield, and the golden dog is not afraid. Why be afraid of a woman? Yang Yan snorted. After talking about the network, I saw Zhang Jiujiu after settling her husband. walked over again, bowed slightly and said, "The official is drunk, and everything needs to wait for him to wake up." ”
Zhang Qing, Yang Yan and others were willing to leave like this, Yang Yan took the lead in coaxing and wanted to make trouble in the cave room, no matter how Zhang Jiujiu persuaded him, he didn't listen. The bride was also generous, nodded and said, "Well, don't spoil the interest of the uncles." Dare to ask, what is the name of the one who makes the most trouble? ”
"His name is Yang Yan, and his family is big. Sister-in-law Wan called him Yang to poop. "Mattei finally got one. Opportunity, put Yang Yan forward and said loudly.
Yang Yan turned his head and stared at him fiercely, but when he turned around, he was a little embarrassed, and clenched his fists with a frowning eyelid and shouted, "Ninth sister-in-law."
"Since my uncle insists on making trouble, he needs to pass me first." Zhang Jiujiu's words are amazing; Yo ho, I didn't see it, the ninth sister-in-law is not a mortal! Yang Yan is difficult to ride a tiger, so he can only bite the bullet. At the back, a group of guys who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic roared and screamed, provoking the servants of the Xu Mansion and the guests who had not left to flock to the door of the cave room to watch the show.
"Brother and sister, I don't know how to get through this level?" Zhang Qing asked while looking at Yang Yan with a gloating attitude.
"Sister-in-law, Yang Da is the most thick-skinned! Don't show mercy to your subordinates for a while, reward them with big mouths, if they beat kindly, maybe he will cover his face and go back, and he can wash off the two coins of fat powder, haha! Someone said loudly, causing the audience to laugh.
Zhang Jiujiu had no stage fright, and said with a smile: "The official is a general in the army, and the uncles can also be used to fighting, since I am the wife of the Xu family, I naturally can't lose the prestige of the official; I wonder if my uncle is willing to take it?
This time, everyone couldn't laugh, the nine surnames probably didn't know where Yang Yan was sacred, and this guy's martial arts couldn't find a few opponents in Hujie, and he commanded the main force of Hujie. Tricks with him?
Yang Yan became more and more angry, straightened his chest, and said arrogantly: "Sister-in-law calls directly, if you are a brother, you are not a hero!" ”
"Good!" When everyone heard this, they cheered sky-high.
"Then Uncle be careful." In September, I didn't even take the hijab, I took two small steps forward, and the good voice of the net landed! I saw her holding the skirt with both hands, and everyone felt that the dress was turning around like a flower, and felt the wind blowing on their faces, and when they looked at the bride again, they were still standing upright, but the skirt was still fluctuating.
Yang Yan is also really trustworthy. I was stunned and didn't move. Those present were connoisseurs. Hurriedly rushed up and walked around to Yang Yan to look at him. This one is unbelievable, Mattei is the first to laugh! The others didn't know what was going on, and when they saw it clearly, they all couldn't stand up with laughter. Yang Yan was the only one, standing there stupidly and not knowing why, and looking around to ask what was going on.
On his forehead, a footprint was clear!
"Haha, some people boast of being proficient in martial arts on weekdays, but this time it's too big!" Zhang Qing laughed.
Mattei was the most exaggerated, tears were laughing, Yang Yan saw it, and shouted: "What's the matter? What are you laughing at?.
Zhang Qing pulled him, but he still couldn't hold back his laughter: "Let's go!" Save yourself from being embarrassed in front of your younger siblings, don't let newcomers think that Xu Jiu's brothers are like you, haha, ouch, mother, don't laugh, stomach hurts"
Yang Yan hadn't figured out what was going on until he walked out of the cave room; Also together: two two shameful. At today's wedding feast, he drank a lot. At this time, it has already opened: Ererxi, his footsteps are staggering, otherwise, how can he let Zhang Jiujiu take advantage of the loophole.
Drove away a group of rioters. Zhang Jiujiu still returned to the bedside. Sitting in a regular manner, I can't see the sassy and heroic posture of Fang just showing his skills, which can really be described as quiet as a virgin and moving like a rabbit.
I don't know how long I waited, but the husband behind me suddenly jumped up from the bed and shouted: "Someone."
September was shocked, lifted half of his hijab, and asked in surprise: "Official, what's wrong?" ”
Xu Wei didn't answer, jumped out of bed and didn't wear shoes, and took a few arrow steps. rushed to the door, opened the door with lightning speed, and outside, Xu Wang's Xu Xiu and the two were fleeing back with their waists.
The door was re-covered, and Xu Wei was still sitting on the edge of the bed with his hijab on his head. couldn't help but smile, walked over and was about to remove the hijab, suddenly remembered something, sat down next to his wife, and said with a smile: "In September, there is something before the hijab is removed, I must confess to you."
"If the official said that the little overlord of Xujiazhuang, who robbed my cousin's face back then, was you, he would have known it for his wife...... September laughed.
Xu Wei was stunned, a little unconvinced, and said: "Then do you know that the person who fell into the river and provoked you to ask for help back then was also me?" ”
I also know that September laughed out loud.
Xu Wei Huoran got up and took off his hijab: "Then do you know that I said I wanted to marry you more than ten years ago?"
"I still know." September smiled like a flower, and looked at Xu Jiu affectionately, "So, I've been waiting for you for more than ten years?" ”
Since getting married, Xu Wei has spent the happiest time since the time traveling, the little couple is like glue, inseparable, so enviable, don't you need to say much?
In a blink of an eye, by the end of March, another happy event came from Hedong. When the Jin army invaded the south for the second time. Later, due to the progress of the Eastern Route Army, and the Taiyuan Mansion in the division was unable to conquer for a long time, he lost patience and transferred most of the elite troops to the south. The division seized the fighters, won five battles and four victories, forcing the besieging Jin army to retreat. When Sticky Han returned to the division, he was furious when he heard the news, and sent the brave young general Wanyan to lead the elite soldiers to continue to besiege the city. But by the end of February, for some reason, all the Jin troops had withdrawn, and no one was left.
When the news came back to Tokyo, Zhao Huan was overjoyed and immediately sent an envoy to Taiyuan, where he was a lieutenant in the seed division and was rewarded with a lot of "Hedong Xuanfu Deputy Envoy".
On the sixth day of the first month of March, Li Gang, who was degraded, and Xu Churen returned to the dynasty with an edict.
On March 11, Zhao Huan issued an edict that all loyal martyrs who died in the two battles against Jin should be given preferential pensions, and their children could be entered into the army.
On March 15, the edict ordered the abolition of all the "Taoist officials" established during his father's reign and the complete abolition of all policies that harmed the people.
On March 16, he issued an edict that his father's reign would be invalidated by changing the left and right servants to Dazai Shaozai, and the old name was still used.
Zhao Huan's successive actions were aimed at eliminating the influence of Emperor Zhao Zhen and establishing his absolute ruling authority. After these few things were accomplished, a big problem was placed in front of the Tokyo Imperial Court. times, how to clean up this mess? The administrative and military institutions of the two rivers were completely destroyed by the Jurchens, and the Tokyo side almost completely lost control of the east and north of the river. Today's two rivers, the rebels are swarming, thieves are everywhere, and the prosperous places in the past are now almost hell.
Secondly, how to prevent the Jurchens from invading again? This time, although he relied on the lives of the virtuous ministers, the soldiers served him to the death and repelled the strong enemy. And what about next time? Could it be that the Jin people will always be allowed to fight in Tokyo, and then Tokyo will summon all over the world to enter the king of Beijing? If you continue to do this, you didn't wait for the Jin people to destroy the Great Song Dynasty, and you will get down by yourself.
Third, after the main force of the Western Army was transferred to Tokyo, Xia Guo was ready to move, and he had already broken through Zhenwei City, and Zhu Zhao, the governor of the city, was martyred, and Shaanxi was shaken! It is imperative to order the Western Army to return to Shaanxi. But as soon as the Western Army leaves, what will happen to Tokyo?
Only these three have made Zhao Huan very troubled. In view of this, he issued an edict to set up a new agency in Zhongshu Province, called the "Detailed Discussion Division." "With the right servant of Shangshu and the servant of Zhongshu He Li as the "detailed discussion division" of the detailed discussion division. The main function is to discuss the ancestral family law, review the gains and losses, and dig out the defects. Propose a countermeasure?
With this functional characterization, the detailed division does not have any decision-making ability. But for a while, it became a fragrant bait, no matter the ruling minister, the chief of Taiwan, scrambling to drill in, they all wanted to occupy a position. There is no other reason, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all understood in their hearts that the Jurchens invaded the south twice, smashing the peace and prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and the problems exposed by both the administration and the military were very serious, and the rectification had reached the point where it was indispensable. Entered the "detailed division." "There is" the right to speak
Xu Shao became the second deacon to enter the detailed division after He Li, and served as the "senator" Subsequently, Geng Nanzhong was also summoned, and Huang Qianshan again. Soon, Xu Han, the governor of Taiwan, was appointed as the "reviewer." "Surprisingly. The former and second ministers who had just been recalled to the court, Li Gang and Xu Churen were also listed in the same position of "review". Until Orihiko joined, the twelve seats of the detailed division were full.
It is said that there were originally 15 places in the detailed discussion department, and the official family intended to select two or three military ministers to join, and He Li, Zhe Yanzhen, Li Gang, Xu Churen, and others had no objections, and even expressed their support, but they aroused fierce opposition from Geng Nanzhong, so they gave up.
After the establishment of the detailed discussion department was completed, Zhao Huan issued an edict that the emperor would participate in all deliberations, keep them completely confidential and not recorded. Once a resolution is formed, it will be implemented directly to the Zhongshu Province and the Privy Council. All this has cast a veil of mystery over this temporary institution.
At the end of March, the first major decision of the Detailed Discussion Division was released, which surprised everyone! Appointed Li Gang as the "Shaanxi Five-way Propaganda Envoy" to lead Shaanxi? As everyone knows. Li Gang is a hard-line main battle faction, with a high prestige from both the government and the opposition! was squeezed out by Geng Nanzhong and others, removed from the phase, and driven out of the capital? Now that the Jin army has been repulsed, it proves that the prime minister's strategy of persisting in the war of resistance is correct. After he was recalled to Tokyo, people of insight in the government and the opposition had high hopes, hoping that he would be able to pay homage to the prime minister again and lead the government. I didn't expect it. When the net came back, the butt was not hot, and he was placed in Shaanxi again.
West Water Gate, Xufu.
It's getting dark. Before the dinner of the Xu Mansion was ready, Xu Yuan came to the door. As the eldest grandson of the Xu family, his status is extraordinary, plus Xu Zhang's eldest brother Xu Shao, that is, Xu Yuan's father has passed away, so he naturally represents the Xu family.
Not long after he sat down in the flower hall, Xu Zhang came out before he could take a sip of tea. Xu Yuan saluted and said that he had seen his uncle, and the former waved his hand and said, "Yide sit down and speak." Then he ordered the servant to summon Xu Si and Xu Jiu.
Before the two brothers arrived, Xu Da seemed to have something urgent, and said with a serious face: "Second uncle." The nephew came here and walked to his uncle to say goodbye. ”
Xu Zhang was taken aback. He knew that his nephew was awarded the Jiedu envoy because of his military exploits, and was promoted to the Jingyuan Road Jinglu pacification envoy, and finally straightened out and became a handsome all the way. But how can you be in such a hurry? When he was unexpected, he heard Xu Yuan say: "Li Gang is in command of Shaanxi, and the Western Army of the Five Routes must also return to defense as soon as possible."
The nephew, as the marshal of Jingyuan, will lead the army westward tomorrow. ”
Speaking of which, it happened that Xu Sheng and Xu Wei came out and heard what the eldest brother said. I was amazed. Why was the imperial court in a hurry to let the Western Army go back? Isn't there a change in strategy?
"Or, Yide is now a marshal, with a heavy responsibility, and he should be loyal to the country? Tonight, my uncle will set you off with a drink. Xu Zhang said.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yuan had already stood up, went to the hall, and walked to the second uncle. Bowing to the big salute, Xu Zhang was shocked and said, "Xu Da, why is this?" ”
"The country is eventful, my nephew is gone, and I don't know when I will be able to see my uncle's dignity again. The second uncle is an important minister of the country, and he hopes to be good and cherished, and he will be clothed and eaten on time? In this way, although the nephew is far away at the border. There is also less worry. "Although Xu Yuan grew up in the ranks and read less poetry and books, he is upright and bold, and he is not informal. But the filial piety shown at this time moved everyone present.
"Good, good. My good son of the Xu family! Xu Zhang personally stepped forward to help him up and said emotionally.
"Military affairs are urgent, Xu Yuan can't stay for a long time, so say goodbye." Xu Yuan said, turned to the two younger brothers, and gave instructions to the two younger brothers, and the two brothers received the order. Fang walked to the door, stopped again, and smiled back at Xu Wei: "Ninth brother, men have ambitions in all directions, don't be greedy for the gentle hometown and forget the great ambitions." "I dare to love because I am afraid that my younger brother will marry a daughter-in-law, and I will not miss it, and since then I have a long love affair with my children and a short of heroic spirit.
Xu Wei said solemnly: "Brother, don't worry, little brother remembers." ”
Xu Yuan nodded. Shake it again. before leaving. Just out of the gate. Before he stepped on the stirrup, he saw an official bridge coming quickly, stopped in front of the mansion, and looked at it, who was not the third uncle Xu Shao?
As soon as Xu Shao saw Xu Yuan, he immediately asked, "Yide is here to bid farewell to your second uncle?" ”
"Exactly, my nephew happened to go to the third uncle's mansion to say goodbye, I don't want to" Xu Yuan didn't finish speaking, Xu Shao seemed to be more anxious than him, stepped forward to hold his hand, and roughly instructed a few words, nothing more than to do his best, not careless, etc., Xu Yuan took the order and left. He walked away with his front foot, and Xu Shao immediately entered the mansion.
The father and son of the Xu family saw him coming in a hurry again, and said in their hearts What happened today? One is more urgent than the other? Xu Shao hurriedly saluted his brother, and he was not polite, he picked up the teacup and drank heavily, afraid that he would even eat half a cup of tea, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Third uncle, you are" Xu Sheng said suspiciously.
Xu Shao sat down on the chair as if he had collapsed, and after taking a long breath of relief, he shook his head and sighed: "Lip and sword!" Although it is not a frontier, it is flesh and blood, you live and die."
As soon as these words came out. Even Xu Wei didn't hear why, what did it mean? Dry mouth fight in the palace?
Xu Shao rested for a while, saw that his brother and nephew were all puzzled, sat up straight, and whispered: "Li Gang was appointed as the Shaanxi Five-Way Propaganda Envoy, can my brother know?" ”
"Fang Caiyide has already said it. How? What's wrong? Xu Zhang nodded.
"That's wrong!" Xu Shao slapped his thigh, "This is all Geng Nanzhong's pinching, they have to drive Li Gang away!" ”
How do you say that? Shaanxi Wulu is a military powerhouse, and almost all the elites of the Great Song Dynasty are here. And the Xuanfu envoy is the governor of a place, with a high position and authority, how can it sound as if Geng Nanzhong and others are squeezing him out?
Li Gang has a very high reputation in the government and the opposition, and when he returned to Beijing this time, many people thought that he would return to the prime minister and lead the government. And He Li is in the second phase, and he has made great contributions to resisting the Jin people this time, and his position is very solid? In this way, he can only move Geng Nanzhong's position, can he not be in a hurry? Therefore, once the detailed discussion department began to select the leading figures in Shaanxi, Geng Nanzhong was the first to support Li Gang, with sinister intentions. Xu Shao couldn't help but shake his head.
Xu Wei listened. Puzzled: "Shaanxi Five-Way Xuanfu Envoy, the position is extremely important, and it is also suitable for Li Gang to lead and lead." Does the third uncle think there is something wrong? ”
