"After returning to my mother, when my son was studying in the royal study recently, he saw an ancient book that said, "You must investigate everything first before you have the right to speak. Otherwise, don't jump to conclusions easily on ambiguous matters. It will be the New Year in one month."
, the imperial court happened to be on vacation for ten days, and I am going to take Concubine Quan to her hometown of Kuaiji (today's Shaoxing). Kuaiji belongs to Zhexi Road and is the place where the Public Land Law is implemented. Once we come, we can go and observe the people's conditions on the spot. Listen to the following
Secondly, we will judge the quality of this public land law based on the reactions of the people. Secondly, Concubine Quan has not been back to her hometown for several years, so she just happened to go home to visit her relatives."
Xie Daoqing thought for a while and said, "It's right to go home with Jiu'er to visit our relatives. It's just that Kuaiji is still some distance from Lin'an. Is it safe on the road?"
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, this distance is nothing, not to mention that this road is our territory of the Song Dynasty. The child only needs to bring 200 imperial guards. There are official roads along the way, and there are Xiang troops stationed there, so there will be no safety.
Question. In addition, I plan to form a youth guard, with no more than 500 people, and only young people aged 16 or 17 will be recruited. If I travel in the future, I can have this team escort me, so that it will not affect the palace.
Defensive."
"It's a good thing for the officials to have their own ideas. Reading a thousand volumes is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. My mother will support me. But, what organization will the officials put this young guard into?"
"My child plans to join the Imperial Guard first."
"That's fine."
The imperial guard commander is Xie Daoqing's younger brother, so Xie Daoqing is naturally relieved.
Regarding the public land law, I can delay it for a day. Xie Daoqing's family has been in a difficult situation since he was a child, so he attaches great importance to land. In addition, most of his close relatives are big landowners, so he should be opposed to the public land law. Although Xie Daoqing
No comment was made on this.
The Gongtian Law is Jia Sidao's only "political achievement". Once I cancel it completely, I will probably fall out with Jia Sidao.
"Guan family, we have neglected Jiu'er, the birthday girl. Today is a birthday family banquet, and we are involved in the affairs of the court again. Shouldn't it be? Come, let Jiu'er have wine and vegetables." Xie Dao counted them in time.
Changed the topic.
Today's small family banquet should be regarded as a very harmonious family banquet. It seems to be the first time in Zhao Fu's memory.
After drinking and eating, Xie Daoqing said: "Today is Jiu'er's birthday. You should go back and rest early. Jiu'er, you go and wait outside first. I still have a few words to say with the officials."
"Yes, Queen Mother, Jiu'er will leave first."
After Quan Jiu left, Xie Daoqing said: "Guanjia, my mother drank some wine today, and I wanted to use the wine to express a few words to Guanjia."
I was a little stunned and said: "Mother, please tell me if you have something to say."
Xie Daoqing looked at me and said: "My mother has been in the palace for decades. Over the years, our country has suffered from internal and external troubles. Although Meng Gong destroyed the Jin Dynasty, Mongolia rose again in the north. The first emperor had a weak character. His predecessors were as far back as history and Ding was later.
Daquan, Jia Sidao and others, although they were determined to rejuvenate at the beginning of their takeover, they took reform measures such as deposing the historical party, promoting Taiwan to remonstrate, clarifying the administration of officials, and rectifying finances (called "Duanping Genghua" in history). However, in the face of complexities
In the political environment, the late emperor finally changed his mind so much that he did nothing. It was not until his death that he put all his hopes on you. Today I heard this poem from the official family, in which the whip in the north points to the end of the horizon, and the mother empress
I am very happy. Although the official family is not the mother's biological child, the official family is still a member of my Zhao family. The power of the Song Dynasty is now in the hands of the official family. The queen mother is just a woman, but I also hope to see the resurgence of our dynasty and the official family can become a
Eternal Mingjun."
From some of the personal records of the late emperor in the imperial study room, I also see that the late emperor Lizong also had the ideal of reviving the Song Dynasty, but he was never able to establish his own team, and was far from an enemy of Shi Miyuan in political struggles, so he gradually
Declined into drunkenness and debauchery.
After listening to Xie Daoqing's words, I suddenly felt a mixture of surprises. What was surprising was that Xie Daoqing could see my ambition just from this poem. In this way, the hidden dragon in my plan had been seen through. What I was happy about was that Xie Daoqing seemed to be very happy.
I hope I can revive the Song Dynasty. If I can get the support of Xie Daoqing, then my plan to defeat Jia can be implemented. Two of the three powers are combined in one place, which should be able to compete with the power of the prime minister headed by Jia Sidao.
Let's have a battle of forces.
"Mother, your child will definitely live up to your high expectations."
Xie Daoqing showed a smile: "This is very good. I think that when the late emperor first came to the throne, he was also very ambitious, but he couldn't persist for long. Officials need to look at the world and take care of things, and don't give up halfway."
"The child knows."
"Guan family, I am very happy to talk about my mother today. Please spend some time with Jiu'er tonight."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
As soon as Quan Jiu and I left Ningkun Palace, Quan Jiu asked impatiently: "The official said that he will take his concubine back to his hometown of Kuaiji after the new year. Is it true?"
"Of course it's true."
Quanjiu excitedly held my hand and said, "Thank you, Guan's family. I really miss my hometown."
"I remember Concubine Quan said that your old house is backed by Kuaiji Mountain, where there are beautiful mountains and clear waters, and few people visit. There must be a big area there."
"Yes, my concubine's family's manor is very large, but most of it is in mountains and overgrown with vegetation, but it is not suitable for growing crops."
"Then is there anyone in your hometown?"
"My youngest brother Quan Jue is still there. A few years ago, after I entered the palace, the late emperor granted me a reward. All my family, except Quan Jue, are in Lin'an City."
"Then why doesn't Quan Jue want to come to Beijing?"
"It's very interesting to talk about Chen Concubine's younger brother. Quanjue has been smart but stubborn since he was a child. He is curious about strange things and often has unexpected ideas. The family has hired countless teachers, but they all got angry because they could not answer his questions, thus
He was known as a "weird boy" when he was ten years old. Later, his teacher Shen Yiqiu happened to be passing through Kuaiji. The old man and the young man didn't know how they met. Quanjue asked his family to accept Shen Yiqiu as his teacher. By the way, this Shen Yiqiu
Yiqiu is a descendant of Shen Kuo. Mr. Shen liked the scenery at the foot of Kuaiji Mountain very much, and he also liked his younger brother very much, so he stayed in his concubine's home for almost ten years. Quanjue didn't want to leave, mostly because of Mr. Shen.
Therefore, I have always been in my hometown."
"A descendant of Shen Kuo? Shen Kuo, the author of "Mengxi Bi Tan"?"
"Well, that's right. Quan Jue admires his teacher so much that he falls to the ground."
Later generations will know that Shen Kuo was an outstanding scientist in the Song Dynasty, and could even be said to be a rare generalist in the scientific community. He was involved in almost all fields. In ancient China, many sciences were classified as alternative and were not taken seriously, let alone
The above is specifically applied. Shen Kuo lived during the period of Wang Anshi's political reform. Shen Kuo was an upright person. This character made him unfavorable on both sides in political struggles. After Shen Kuo's death, no one built a monument for him or wrote an epitaph for him.
, even his life biography is only attached to "History of Song Dynasty: Biography of Shen Yu", so his popularity is far less than that of later generations.
Shen Kuo was a man of great talent and little fame. He was criticized during and after his lifetime, and he died in depression.
As a scientist, Shen Kuo was a winner, but as a politician, Shen Kuo was a loser.
If Shen Yiqiu had half of Shen Kuo's ability in the field of science, I would have found a treasure, not to mention the weird boy Quan Jue.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Really? Haha, these are two talented people."
Quan Jiu asked puzzledly: "Talent? Is this "Meng Xi Bi Tan" very good? Officials don't think so. When his father was still alive, he said that Quan Jue would not be very promising in the future."
People of this era naturally did not know the importance of science. As a scholar, Shen Kuo's reputation was far inferior to that of Zhu Xi, Su Shi and others.
I didn't explain it, and couldn't explain it, so I just smiled and said, "Quan Fei, let's go back to Ninghan Palace."
