Chapter 237: Face Jun Again Out of the New Year.
The footsteps of spring are approaching day by day, the mountains are moist and the water is rising, the trees are recovering, the grass is green, the flowers are blooming, the breeze is not cold, but the catkins that come with the wind do not go away, which makes people annoyed.
The huge political machine of the imperial court was in full swing, and preparations for the crusade against the Southern Han Dynasty began, and Yang Hao, the "stunned doctor", had gradually faded out of the scope of people's after-dinner conversations.
In the west of Kaifeng City, the forbidden army camp.
The gate is heavily guarded, the soldiers are dressed and armored, their eyes do not squint, and the rows of soldiers stand as straight as a line, as if they are iron walls.
Many generals in armor and helmets were clustered like stars holding the moon, and a man in the prime of life with wide robes and large sleeves and soft feet on his head was coming out of the gate.
This man is about forty years old, with a sturdy and burly figure, big ears, a slightly dark complexion, and a pair of big eyes under thick eyebrows.
But at this moment, his expression was very relaxed, and he was talking and laughing with the generals who followed him step by step.
It is Zhao Kuangyin, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty.
There is a line of carriages and horses parked in front of the barracks, there are no flags, and there are no signs on the carriages, which look like the carriages of ordinary wealthy families, but the plainclothes men standing around the carriage are not ordinary large families can find.
These big men seem to be printed out of a mold, not about their appearance, but about their figure and temperament.
According to modern standards, all of these big men are about 1.9 meters, burly and tall, and majestic as a mountain.
The two big men standing on both sides of the wheel were giants more than two meters tall, tall and muscular, and the black silk chest of the waist was tightened.
Zhao Kuangyin walked leisurely, stopped and said with a smile: "Okay, don't send it, old party" "The Minister" A black-faced and black-bearded, iron-clad man immediately stepped forward, hugged his fists, and his armor leaves were sonorous, he was really a majestic general.
Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "Your military training is good, and I am very satisfied."
It's just that this ordnance is a guarantee for the soldiers, but it can't be sloppy.
Once the battle is fought, how can you use ordnance that is not difficult to do, and it can be manufactured on the spot, so I entrusted you with the military craftsmen of your headquarters to do it, and you must strengthen the supervision of the military craftsmen. ” That old party.
That is, Ma Bujun commanded the party to advance, his black and red face was a little purple, and he said: "Yes, the ministers know." ” Zhao Kuangyin looked at the embarrassed appearance of the love general, and asked with a smile: "Old party, now it is the spring season, and after a few days of preparation, we will send troops to recruit the Southern Han Dynasty.
"Uh" Dangjin looked left and right, his eyes flying wildly.
In front of the officials, his staff didn't dare to whisper to him, making him so anxious that he was sweating profusely, his black face was distorted, and he couldn't hold back a fart for a long time.
Zhao Kuangyin was also beside Zhao Pu, Pan Mei, Cao Bin and other important civil and military ministers, and when they saw the invincible general Dang Jin, who had always been brave in battle, and had no advance or retreat, they all covered their mouths and snickered, but no one stepped forward to relieve him from the siege.
Regardless of whether the party uses troops to fight, it is commendable, but it is a skill honed on the battlefield.
He doesn't know a single word, but he is not good at managing the army and managing grain and ordnance on a daily basis, and it is not difficult to ask him these things.
Only the deputy commander of the Xiaoxiong Army made Hu Yanzan have the best personal relationship with Dang Jin, and when he saw that this boss seemed to be constipated, Hu Yanzan panicked for him.
Peeking into a gap, Hu Yanzan quickly pointed to his stomach.
Dang Jin was looking for a savior with a pair of bull's eyes, and when he saw Hu Yanzan's movements, he suddenly remembered, hurriedly touched his belt, and pulled out a piece of wood, which is scientifically called a wooden plank, which can be used to write down some important things, and the role is similar to the wat board used by the courtiers, which is a memo.
Zhao Kuangyin was born in the army, and he didn't want to stay in the forbidden place all day, so he looked around from time to time, and the military camp was his favorite place.
Many of the generals of the forbidden army did not know a few words, and when asked by the defense officials, they all wrote down some important data on the jaw in case of emergency.
The problem is that the generals next to him don't know a word, but he doesn't know a word, even if he asks the staff to write down the number for him, he can only look at the stump and stare dryly.
Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "What's the matter, come quickly." ” Dang Jin gritted his teeth and stared at the board, as if he was staring at the enemy who killed his father, and after looking at it carefully for a long time, he still didn't recognize a word, so he had to turn his heart sideways, handed the board to Zhao Kuangyin, and said in a rough voice: "The number of soldiers and equipment of the ministers are written here, but please look at the official family, I don't recognize this ghost painting talisman." ” Zhao Kuangyin had the intention of teasing him.
Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing anymore, Zhao Pu, Cao Bin and others on the side all laughed, and Dang Jin's face was red, and he was embarrassed.
Zhao Kuangyin punched him in the chest and said with a smile: "Do you know how to be ashamed, hehe, hahaha, I'm not difficult for you, go ahead, you can leave these things to the staff, but you can't fight with me in the march and charge." ” Zhao Kuangyin finished speaking with a smile, waved his hand and turned to board the car, Dang Jin bowed down and said loudly: "The minister Dang Jin Gong sent the official family." ” Zhao Kuangyin's car started, and the rest of the officials also got on the sedan chair and rode the horse, and the convoy just walked out a few zhang away, Dang Jin straightened his waist, kicked hard on the ass of a Mu bureaucrat next to him, and scolded angrily: "It's useless to raise you, and when you see that I'm embarrassed, why don't you remind me."
Dang Jin is usually easy-going, and his subordinates are not afraid of him, so it's good that he doesn't scold.
When this scolding started, all the generals and bureaucrats around him couldn't help laughing, and the party was extremely angry, and his face had become eggplant-colored.
Dang Jin's voice was loud, and Zhao Kuangyin could hear it clearly while sitting in the car, so he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, and said: "This rammed goods, straightforward and cute." ” Speaking of this, Zhao Kuangyin frowned, and suddenly remembered Yang Haolai.
With his fingers lightly tapping on the low table in the car, he looked up and asked, "That Yang Hao, what are you doing now?"
The accompanying deputy of the chamberlain knew that Gu Ruoli hurriedly replied: "Official, Yang Hao has stayed in the pavilion every day since he saw the car, and after the first month, he bought a small house on Quyuan Street, and entrusted Ya Po to hire and buy kabuki dancers and maidservants, and has been busy for these things. ” "Hmm" Zhao Kuangyin replied noncommittally.
Gu Ruoli looked at his face, and said softly: "The official family, the slave maid was sent by the official family and went to Luling Prefecture.
The slave maid thought that the reason why the officials of Luling Prefecture were loyal to Yang Hao and obeyed him was because they were all appointed by Yang Hao, and these people thought that their official positions and futures depended on Yang Hao.
The officials treated them favorably, let them know who was the lord of the world, and they were careful to the court.
Moreover, Yang Hao left his position and moved to his place, and over time, his influence weakened.
When Luzhou was established, the strong feudal domain was around, and the first priority was to establish an army and expand armaments, plus Luzhou was to be prosperous, which place did not want silver, but he spent a lot of money to build the state capital yamen magnificently, although Yang Hao in the northwest to make a break in the domain, and to control Hu with Hu, to fight against the small tribes of Hengshan Qiang, but it can be seen that this person has wisdom and little knowledge, so big and happy.
He came from a humble background and didn't know anything about wealth and nobility.
Now staying in the prosperous land of Kaifeng, the sound of dogs and horses, wealth and glory, even if there was ambition, it will gradually fade away. ” "Hmm" Zhao Kuangyin was still noncommittal.
Leaning back in his seat, he closed his eyes slightly, and when Gu Ruoli saw it, he immediately shut up.

On that day, Yang Hao's nondescript speech at the Jinluan Palace, but he also said it sonorously and forcefully, and it was extremely serious, which made the civil and military officials laugh, and Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but refrain from laughing, and the anger in his stomach was gone.
However, although this episode made him change his understanding of Yang Hao, he still left him after listening to the government, summoned him to the Wende Palace, and threw the Luzhou prefect's recital to him.
Yang Hao's face changed greatly when he saw half of it, and he neither flatly denied that he had anything to do with him, nor did he shirk responsibility in every way, even if he kowtowed and apologized.
Ever since he was deliberately left behind by himself and brought to the Wende Palace, Zhao Kuangyin had been observing him coldly.
The joy that made him stay, the anxiety when he faced himself alone, the confusion when he handed him the watchpiece, and the great change in his face when he was halfway through it were all changes in the expression of a person who had no prior knowledge.
He didn't defend himself, but it was in line with his character, and he put all the credit on his recital to Luo Kedi, He Longcheng, Liu Haibo and others, and even Cheng Dexuan, who was not in agreement with him, was a person who valued righteousness.
If he had a ghost in his heart at this time, it would have been impossible for him to react like this.
Thinking of this, thinking of the wrongs he had suffered, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but be a little shaken.
He was relieved, and said that he trusted him a lot, and believed that he did not plan this matter, so that he could live in Tokyo with peace of mind, buy land and build houses, buy maids and hired servants, and sing and dance girls to live a good life, so he sent him out.
Zhao Kuangyin bent to comfort, and he also had his purpose, if it was not necessary, he would not kill without permission.
Sitting in the world, it is not easy, now the conquest of the Quartet, a few years has destroyed Jinghu, Houshu, invaded a large territory of the Northern Han Dynasty, these places are not fought down with soldiers, the banner of the Great Song Dynasty is inserted on the head of the city, it will naturally become the territory of the Song State, to conquer the hearts of the people, to implement the rule, to the king of its people, these are not the problems that can be solved by force, and it is not a matter of time and day.
Now that the Southern Han Dynasty is about to use troops, it is really not suitable for the northwest region to have another incident, and Yang Hao will be restrained in the Beijing Division, which will stabilize Luzhou to a certain extent.
As for whether Yang Hao has ambitions in the end, he didn't leave it alone.
After Yang Hao left, he summoned an official of the Wude Division, personally instructed him, and ordered him to send several relatives to closely investigate all Yang Hao's movements.
Early in the morning of the second day, one of Yang Hao's relatives quietly left Tokyo and went to the northwest, and several of Wu Desi's relatives immediately followed him secretly, and when the messenger arrived in Baisha Town, a family member took the opportunity to steal his letter and transcribe it, and then sealed the letter as it was and put it back in his arms, and then returned to Tokyo.
When this copied letter was placed on Zhao Kuangyin's desk, Yang Hao's messenger had not yet entered the northwest realm.
Yang Hao's letter is still the same dog-like words, and the wording is also half-written.
The two letters were addressed to Ke Zhenxi, the deputy envoy of the Luzhou regimental training, and a woman surnamed Tang.
In the letter to Ke Tuanlian, Yang Hao said that he was treated preferentially by the officials when he entered Beijing, and the scenery was infinite, and said that he would stay in Beijing for a long time, and he might be reused by the officials in the future, and told them that they could not follow the right path to become officials from the people, which was really a rare opportunity, and they must love and introspect themselves in the future and do things with peace of mind.
In the near future, the officials will send new regimental training envoys to take charge of the troops, telling them to cooperate with them, obey the superiors, and not be greedy for power and profit, so as not to mislead others and themselves.
The letter to the woman surnamed Tang changed the wind of words, talking about the fright he was subjected to when he saw the driver, scolding the group of bastards of the Luzhou group of officials for being short-sighted and sitting in the well and watching the sky, making such a vulgar strategy to squeeze out Cheng Dexuan, almost harming others and himself, complaining all over the paper, mixed with some venting vernacular slang, and then he was in love, talking about love, and wrote a few love poems copied from Tang poems that did not fit the situation, which made Zhao Kuangyin laugh.
At the end of the letter, he also said that although he was now living in the capital, his status was undecided, and his family was not settled, and he was terrified in his heart, and he discussed sending someone back to the northwest to ask her family for marriage after living in peace, and welcomed her into Beijing to complete her marriage.
After reading these two letters, Zhao Guanjia's suspicion of Yang Hao suddenly disappeared.
Speaking of which, he admired Yang Hao very much, this person was able to lead a mere 3,000 soldiers to bring 50,000 people to the northwest safely under the siege and interception of the Khitan iron cavalry, and he really had real talent.
You know, with 50,000 civilians, it is no better than 3,000 soldiers to act alone, if a famous general, lead 3,000 soldiers into the grassland, in the 100,000 iron cavalry, it may not be impossible to return safely, but if you bring him 50,000 old and weak women and children to try again, there are very few people who can succeed.
Yang Hao can not be an adult, of course, there is an element of luck in this, although there is a reason why he led his troops to return in time and contain most of the Khitan, which is enough to prove that he has courage and strategy.
After arriving in the northwest safely, Yang Hao's attitude of winning the merit in the table was especially appreciated by him.
Yang Hao has no talent to learn but is talented, he is outstanding in martial arts in civil officials, and outstanding in military generals, especially this person has a straightforward and simple temperament, and he may not be a talent that can be cultivated.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Cheng Dexuan returned to the capital in disgrace.
He tossed for a year, went around the northwest, and now he has returned to Kaifeng, and he is still the official of Kaifeng Mansion in his old bank.
Zhao Guangyi took this unlucky official to meet the saint to see the king, in front of the official family, Cheng Dexuan's personal statement is naturally much more detailed than the table, some clues seen in daily life casually, Cheng Dexuan said unintentionally, Zhao Kuangyin is the listener is intentional, and the suspicion in his heart is together, Yang Hao's position in his heart has become "and watch his words, observe his deeds".
Yang Hao has not moved much these days, and he has almost forgotten about it.
Just thinking of this, he heard an exclamation from outside the car, Zhao Kuangyin frowned, and Gu Ruoli immediately bent down and walked out.
After a while, Gu Ruoli got back into the car and said in a panic: "Official, the fire is on fire in the city, and the fireworks are all over the sky, it seems that the fire is really amazing." ” Zhao Kuangyin suddenly changed color when he heard this, hurriedly walked out of the carriage, and looked at the head of Kaifeng City, only to see a thick smoke billowing in the city, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Enter the city, enter the city quickly."
Then the chariot and horse sped up and hurried towards the city.
This fire is really not small.
Kaifeng City is densely populated, except for the main avenues, there are sheep intestine alleys, and high doors and big households on both sides are stacked on top of each other.
Jiadi Xingluo, than the house of the rows; There is no wide lane, and the city is not ridden.
In recent years, the Great Song Dynasty expanded its territory and destroyed some countries one after another, and the kings of these countries are now all settled in Kaifeng.
Gao Jichong in Jingnan, Zhou Baoquan in Hunan, and Meng Chang in Xishu, one by one, brought concubines and concubines, and moved their families, Zhao Kuangyin showed magnanimity and treated them very favorably, allowing them to buy land and build houses and build all kinds of houses and pavilions, which made Kaifeng construction land more tight.
In addition, Zhao Kuangyin encouraged officials to buy fields and build houses and enjoy life, so whether they retired or were officials in the court, many officials with rich eunuchs spared no expense to build mansions, enjoyed them during their lifetimes, and passed them on to their children and grandchildren after death, so the population density and building density of Shangkaifeng City were unprecedented.
In addition, Buddhism and Taoism prevailed at this time, Buddhist temples and Taoist temples were everywhere, and they were all places where incense continued all day long, and their believers were many, and they often burned incense and worshiped Buddha at home.
At this time, the houses were mostly made of bamboo and wood, and the masonry was not yet popular, and once a fire broke out, the losses caused could be imagined.
Prior to this, Kaifeng City had been on fire many times, and when it was serious, it burned thousands of households, and the palace had burned down the palace.
His carriage and horse entered the city from Wansheng Gate, hurriedly drove across the Jinliang Bridge, and saw the fire in front of the sky, the smoke was billowing, the heat wave was coming, many people were calling for a run, looking from afar, it seemed that the "Jianlongguan" had a fire in the area, but at this time it was also indistinguishable, because the building was close, the surrounding houses and the mast of the Jianlongguan house were closely attached to each other, standing on the roof almost one step to step over, the fire was blown by the wind again, the fire spread at the time, and now the fireworks have covered the entire alley, and there is a posture that continues to spread.

Seeing that the fire was so serious, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but gasp, and immediately ordered: "Quickly, immediately pass on my will and order the party to send the forbidden army into the city to put out the fire."
Sent someone to transfer troops, Zhao Kuangyin jumped out of the car and walked forward, left and right for fear that the official family would lose, those tall men immediately protected him in the middle, not far away, the fleeing people blocked his way, and saw a group of people in the street, carrying water, running back and forth, a fang was jumping and shouting: "Hurry up, what's the use, quickly fetch water to fight the fire."
Idle people get out of the way quickly, don't get in the way of firefighting. ” A splash pushed a small car, but he couldn't stop at the intersection of the alley near the river but didn't move away, and asked Nafang Zheng with a smile: "Xu Fangzheng, you should make it clear, whether to draw hot water or cold water, sweet water or bitter water." ” Xu Fangzheng jumped to his feet in anger, blew his beard and glared: "Mo Daobei, the water and fire are ruthless, this fire is burning so fiercely, why are you still blocking the road, don't you get out of the way quickly" The splash rolled his eyes, simply stopped the car, sat on the wheel, and sneered: "It's easy for me to give way, say something nice."
The surrounding people said angrily: "Lifted his car."
"Who dare" Mo Daobei glared at him and looked around fiercely, and those people didn't dare to say much.
Zhao Kuangyin was so angry that his lungs exploded, he gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Go, cut him off on the spot" The two big men immediately rushed towards the splash, these two forbidden army guards have always only obeyed the orders of the official family, and even the hundreds of officials in the court and the central government do not care, no matter whether this is a busy street or not.
The splash was showing off his might, and the two big men pounced on him, lifted him up like an eagle catching a chicken, and slammed it to the ground, "tom", and fell as if the man had fallen apart.
Before the splash could breathe and curse, a guard drew a knife, and the bright steel knife brushed the ground, and a good head fell to the ground, and the head rolled to the ground and was still grinning, and a cavity of blood spurted out more than two feet high.
Zhao Kuangyin was also stunned when he saw the men carrying the water, and was about to urge them to quickly splash water to put out the fire, but he didn't want to be quiet when there was a noise nearby, but a voice in the distance clearly came into his ears: "Folks, such a fire, splashing water doesn't help, you can't save it like this, you have to pick up the surrounding houses, you have to pick up the surrounding houses."
Hurry up and pick up the house, otherwise, this fire will have to burn this piece to the ground, and when it will be finished on the spacious street. ” Zhao Kuangyin's heart suddenly lit up when he heard this, wow, I am really dizzy, why do I still want to put out the fire, can this fire still be extinguished, the top priority is to quickly cut off the line of fire, so as not to let the fire continue to spread and cause greater losses. ” He hurried forward, and saw a fire in front of him, and many people were still splashing water with buckets and wooden basins, and one person was running back and forth, constantly shouting that he should knock down the houses that were about to burn around, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him.
As long as the fire hasn't burned to your own home, it's no wonder who doesn't hold out the hope that my house won't play with you.
Besides, the top person who organized the firefighting was a small official like Fang Zhengya, who dared to take this inexplicable responsibility was that no one paid attention to him.
Zhao Kuangyin said in a deep voice: "Zhao Pu, you go and call that Fang Zheng come over, reveal your identity, and ask him to order someone to knock down the houses around the fire source."
"Obey" Zhao Pu immediately walked forward, Zhao Kuangyin looked at the man again, and said approvingly: "This person has some knowledge. ” The man shouted hoarsely, exhausted from running, gasped and stopped, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his face, and there were five black fingerprints on his cheeks.
He looked at the fire and sighed regretfully: "Kaifeng City is not only densely populated, but also does not use bricks and stones, terracotta tiles, and uses bamboo and wood buildings."
Zhao Kuangyin saw his appearance clearly at this time, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Yang Hao":
