As we enter July, it would be a lie to say that there are no new stories, because after all, we are still in troubled times and wartime.

However, from July to August, the DPRK and the Central Government dealt with many major and minor incidents, and it is true that most of them were covered up by the Enke incident... After all, this round of recruiting students is by no means the same as before in Nanyang

That hasty conferment is comparable.

For one thing, this is the first time that the school opened after returning to the old capital, which has great political significance. If the whole process goes smoothly, and the imperial court guards Tokyo City in the following "Autumn Festival", then even the Song Dynasty will still be at a disadvantage and still be at a disadvantage.

Under the severe military threat, we are still facing the reality of extremely extensive loss of territory, but the situation can be said to be more or less 'stable'.

Secondly, since this year's war actually came to an end as early as the first month of the year, even the Central Plains had time to carry out some spring plowing and replanting. In addition, the Southeast Army suppressed the chaos and Jingdong won a great victory. Therefore, although I dare not say that the war in various places

The political and economic order has been greatly restored, but the minimum human traffic has undoubtedly been restored to a certain extent.

In addition, coupled with the "compromise and compromise" strategy of Zhao Guanjia and Lu Xianggong, this time the opening of the subject also included examinations for serious state students and imperial students; outstanding officials went to the palace to be appointed officials;

The wealthy families who redeemed the refugees in Hebei granted the status of state students and Tai students; they even allowed military children who met certain conditions to participate in scientific examinations...

In a word, this round of scientific examination is of great scale.

Of course, this is also the inevitable demand after Jingkang, when the Central Plains officials were almost exhausted.

In addition, the officialdom was still in the old capital, which was undoubtedly a strong moral and political stimulus to the Bashu scholar-bureaucrats in Jiangnan who had been busy or watching. Therefore, the opening of Enke and the revival of Tokyo were not surprising

The young man who had already achieved fame gave up his original hesitant attitude and took advantage of the situation to return.

Of course, it is difficult to say how many of them came because of the situation and how many of them returned out of righteousness.

But no matter what, with this scientific expedition and the fact that this year's autumn harvest has begun from south to north, supplies have been gathered, and suddenly, the city of Tokyo, which had been dilapidated for three or four years, regained a bit of the spirit of a prosperous civilization.

It inevitably makes some people temporarily forget about the "Autumn Queen", relax a little, and become intoxicated.

However, in August, as the "righteous men" who redeemed the refugees in Hebei were sorted out, and the examinations for the students from the prefecture to enter the Imperial College were completed, and the final exams for the imperial examinations were approaching, some news suddenly came from the west, which attracted the attention of the court.

The school was shocked for a while, and because the matter was so clear that it could not be covered up, the incident quickly spread into the public, attracting countless discussions among students.

As for the imperial students, especially those who have just passed the exam and are about to take the palace exam again, who can control their mouths?

Officials or several husband-in-laws?

Zhao Guan's family and several husbands are really going to go, they are afraid that they will speak louder, for fear that the officials and husbands will not hear.

All in all, this incident quickly became a focal point in the city of Tokyo, especially within the inner city of Suzaku Gate, south of Xiangguo Temple, the former Imperial College and Imperial College as its core areas, surrounding restaurants, small shops, and even neighborhood stalls.

You can hear this matter being discussed over and over again.

Among them, there are several restaurants on a side street directly south of Xiangguo Temple... It stands to reason that the Xiangguo Temple opposite has been busy making various ordnance day and night, with constant noise, and soldiers wearing armor and sharp swords often come and go to block it.

, the business here should be bad. But in fact, there are rumors that the officials often come to inspect the surrounding area in disguise, but the business of these stores is booming, especially when there are too many students.

"Zizhi, Binfu, you two came from Shu, can you tell the whole story?"

On the table next to the street in the shop was a man with a loud voice. He was called Hu Quan. He was from Jiangxi. Because of his direct and fierce personality, he was old (twenty-eight years old), he was well-read and had a strong memory, and he had outstanding literary talent, but

He is the so-called Big Brother among the small groups of Taipei students that are common in Tokyo today.

Therefore, when several people gathered together today, this person was still the first to roll back his sleeves and open his mouth without waiting for the food to be served.

As for the so-called Zi Zhi, his real name is Chao Gongwu, he is a man in his mid-twenties. Hearing this, he just smiled bitterly: "Brother Bangheng (Hu Quan), my family is originally from Jezhou, and we moved to Sichuan to avoid trouble at the end of Jingkang."

, I have only been there for two years, and I don’t even know a few key figures in Shu. If you ask me about this, aren’t you asking blind questions?”

Hu Quan didn't care when he heard the words, and he said directly in the seat: "Where's Binfu, what do you say? Your family has been a famous family in Shu for hundreds of years, and Zhang Caosi (Zhang Jun)'s family has also been a famous family in Shu for hundreds of years.

There must be contacts, not to mention that your father should be taking orders from Zhang Caosi now, so he should have some insights, right?"

The man named Binfu was only in his early twenties this year, and he was clearly the youngest among this group of people. He thought for a moment, but then shook his head: "To be honest, Brother Bangheng, if you ask me to guess, I will always be able to guess."

,but……"

"Then let's take a guess." Before he finished speaking, Hu Quan simply interrupted. "Thousands of miles apart, do you have to see it with your own eyes before you can tell?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience laughed, and even many scholars and students at the surrounding tables pricked up their ears... After all, there was a famous family in Shu, and this man's father seemed to be a subordinate of Zhang Jun, so it was hard to say

It's a party involved.

"If you let me guess, just based on my experience in Shu, Zhang Caosi (Zhang Jun) can do such a thing." The youngest so-called famous disciple in Shu immediately said seriously. "But this

It may not be something he did alone.”

"How to say it?" Hu Quan couldn't wait.

"First of all, although Zhang Caosi (Zhang Jun) has overall responsibility for the five-way transshipment, he is only the transshipment envoy and has no Jiedushi envoy. Therefore, this matter must have the approval of Prime Minister Yuwen, otherwise it will be a clear violation of the rules.

The young man said frankly. "Secondly, this Wang Xie was the general with the highest official position in Kansai after Qu Da left. It is related to the military affairs of Kansai. But now he has replaced the former Wang Jinglue as the envoy of Shaanxi's two routes. I'm afraid

It is Hu Jinglue (Hu Yin) who has to take charge of the five-pronged military once there is a war... Therefore, if we want to deal with Wang Xie, it is more likely that Hu Jinglue has more important things to do, and at least Hu Jinglue must know about it."

When they heard Hu Yin's appearance, in the corner of the shop, two people were waiting silently for their food. One was older, the other was younger, they looked like father and son. Both were equipped by scholars. After hearing this, they almost all raised their heads.

Expressed a little concern.

"Yunwen, do you want to say that this matter was caused by the joint efforts of the three major officials in Guanxi, who deliberately planned to kill Wang Xie, and Zhang Caosi was just the one who did it?" The food began to be served, and Hu Quanwu poured himself a glass of wine.

But he still opened his mouth and ignored it. "Furthermore, since it is the joint efforts of the three major members, it is impossible to say that the official here has the background. Even based on our official's previous behavior, I am afraid that it is from his instruction. It's just that we

I don’t know, are you talking about it as news?”

The young man named Yunwen, whose courtesy name was Binfu, was naturally Yu Yunwen, who came from a famous family in Shu and who was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Yu Shinan. He did not speak after hearing this, but after a slight hesitation, he nodded slightly again... which was regarded as recognition of Hu

Quan's revelation.

Not only that, many people around him were also thinking, except for the older of the two people in the corner, who shook his head slightly.

By the way, the so-called recent shocking thing is nothing but the re-emergence of the dispute between generals and prime ministers in Kansai. Compared with the incident that day when Quduan detained the imperial concubine and whipped the censor Zhongcheng, this time it was even more excessive. Zhang Jun, the five-way transshipment envoy from Bashu, suddenly took action and directly killed Wang Xie, the highest-ranking military minister in Kansai!

What happened is very simple and clear... Previously, Shi Dalang, a member of the remaining party of the Song Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor in Xingyuan Prefecture (Hanzhong) and rebelled against Xingyuan Prefecture City. Since there were already envoys like Yu Wenxuzhong there in Kansai, However, the imperial court did not interfere much.

Therefore, it was almost a matter of course that Wang Xie, who knew Fengxiang Mansion, was the most recent and the head of the military officials in Kansai who was far higher than other military generals. He immediately took control of the capital and went to Hanzhong to take charge of the counter-rebellion military.

However, this guy has been suppressing the rebellion in Hanzhong for several months. The war with the puppet Qi in Jingdong in the east has started and ended, and he is still suppressing the rebellion over there... What's more, as of last month, he also It was in July that he actually let Shi Dalang escape from the Hanzhong ravine!

Whether it was a surprise attack on Ziwu Valley or a deliberate attack on Qishan, no one knows. Anyway, Shi Dalang suddenly appeared in the west of Chang'an, preparing to attack Chang'an.

Then an even more absurd thing happened. Previously, the reinforcements from Fengxiang Mansion, Xingyuan Mansion, Xihe Road, and Bashu Route, and even the Wuguan garrison, and the imperial army to control Xin Xingzong's defense were always Unable to capture Shi Dalang, he was attacked by Jingyuan Road reinforcements hastily dispatched by Hu Yin and was killed in one battle, with his body missing.

It is said that the only people who actually participated in the battle were the five thousand people led by Wu Jie, the military commander of Jingyuan Road.

Wang Xie has something to say about this. What he means is that all the elites of Shi Dalang have been wiped out by General Wang in Hanzhong. Shi Dalang who ran to Chang'an is just an empty shell, so the credit for the hard work still belongs to him. , of course Wu Dujian also had merit, but it was a bit of a trick... Don't mention it, this statement still has some truth, at least the logic is very smooth, and it is difficult to refute.

As a result, Zhang Jun, the transshipment envoy of Bashu Fifth Road, who had been stationed in Lizhou (Guangyuan, Jiameng area) next to Xingyuan Mansion, sent a letter at that time, saying that he would personally bring a large amount of money and materials to Xingyuan Mansion. Lao Jun asked Wang Xie to wait for him before returning to Fengxiang Mansion.

The drama that followed was almost exactly the same as what Zhao Guan's family did in Yanling that day... Zhang Jun rode into Hanzhong and entered the military camp. He first found Liu Qi, the guard of Longyou on Xihe Road, who was his subordinate, and then asked Liu Qi to After gathering together all the generals, they entered Xingyuan City in a grand manner to see Wang Xie.

By this time, Zhang Jun had actually taken control of all the troops in Hanzhong.

However, Zhang Deyuan is a cultural person after all, and no matter how much he imitates, he will not lose his status like someone else. He first ate with Wang Xie, and while eating, he was still talking about the labor force. After eating halfway, he got up and went to the toilet, and then came back. By the time, Wang Xie was already out of breath.

It is said that even Liu Qi, who had the style of a general, did not take any action himself. He just tied him up with soldiers and then suffocated him to death on a mat with wet linen cloth, without even a drop of blood leaking out.

By the way, although Liu Guangshi, Ding Jin, Fan Qiong, and even Du Chong were involved in this kind of thing, even if you close your eyes, you can think that Wang Xie must have the same method of death as Liu Guangshi, but before After all, it was the Zhao Guan family who did the bad things with the authority of the Emperor, and everyone has been used to the Zhao Song Guan family's misbehavior for many years.

This time, Zhang Jun did such a thing as a mere transfer envoy, but it inevitably made the whole city of Tokyo, which had previously been immersed in the cultural atmosphere, suddenly feel terrified.

Not to mention, the special geographical environment in central Sichuan. After Zhang Jun killed Wang Xie and took over the military power as a transport envoy, it would be great fun if someone burned down the plank road or something.

Then, it's no wonder that people from all over the imperial censor's office came up to impeach him, and the students of the imperial court started talking about it.

"Actually, it's no wonder!"

Everyone ate a lot of food at the table, and forced the young Yu Yunwen to drink two glasses of wine. They talked about their expectations for the upcoming imperial examination. The atmosphere was getting better, but Hu Quan, who had a loud voice, suddenly stopped drinking and sighed.

"What's the wonder?" Chao Gongwu put down his chopsticks, wiped his lips and asked... There is no need for praise when communicating among young people, because everyone can't help but talk about their character.

"No wonder this matter caused such turmoil." Hu Quan said with emotion. "I just thought of the reason... Have you ever calculated how many years have passed since the Song and Jin Dynasties were at war?"

"Does it matter?" someone at the table answered casually. "Jingkang is one and a half years old, Jianyan is two and a half years old, exactly four years!"

"That's right. The two countries have been at war across the board for four years."

Hu Quan shook his head. "In the past four years, the Jin people have come every autumn, from Hebei to the Central Plains, and their lives have been devastated. Zi Zhi and his family left Jeju to Bashu, and then returned this time. They must have experienced a lot, so I won't mention it.

Well, even though I have seen the rise and fall of local bandits and armies from Jiangxi, and the dilapidated towns I saw along the way to the capital this time, I also feel that this world is enough to be called a troubled world."

"really."

When Yu Yunwen thought about the internal turmoil in Bashu after Jingkang, and what he saw when he went down the Yangtze River to Jingxiang and from Jingxiang to here, he was filled with emotion...especially those almost empty cities, which really made him only twenty years old.

Shocked by it.

"And in troubled times, if according to Yun Wen's guess, with the approval of the envoys and ministers, it is not a big deal for the imperial officials to kill a general who has harmed the country? Is it more serious than the Jingkang Incident? What kind of system and people are there now?

Everything should be focused on resisting the Jin. However, people are still thinking that there are always people who are unwilling to think about the Jingkang Incident, nor are they willing to think about the two upright emperors of Ershengtang being imprisoned in the Northern Kingdom and being humiliated.

They didn't even want to think about the fall of the two rivers and the massacre of millions of people. They just felt that the officials seemed to be somewhat capable now, guarding the Yellow River and returning the old capital, so they thought about shrinking their heads and enjoying temporary happiness in Tokyo.

, As a result, what Zhang Caosi did in the west was to easily uncover the scars, which seemed a bit out of place. This is the fundamental reason why there was such a movement..." Hu Quan continued to talk, unscrupulously, but it could be regarded as a general.

The scar was revealed in public, so that several tables of scholars and students in the restaurant were silent in embarrassment.

But Hu Quan ignored him at all and continued to expose the scars: "But have these people ever thought that after Enko, as long as the weather turns cold, there will be movements of the Jin army? I don't know. I'll come back then.

After the siege of Tokyo and Enke, how many people will follow the example of Qi Liuyu and become the thieves easily?"

The situation became increasingly awkward, but the people at the same table had known each other for a long time and knew the temperament of this talented man from Jiangxi, so they did not dare to persuade him and just shook their heads.
To be continued...
