Chapter 421 Xu Rentu talks about his life, Song Keli takes up the new commander
Xu Fengnian rubs his cheeks, “Huang Longshi, Xun Ping, my master, Yuan Benxi, Nalan Youci, Zhang Julu, and Lu Feiji, who died yesterday, have all added color to scholars all over the world. You probably don’t include Brother Yuan, I, Lu Xu, the poor scholar Chen Liangxi, and the aristocratic clan Xu Beizhi. These people, regardless of whether they have grudges or not, can only watch the backs of these gentlemen gradually drift away. I don’t know if there will be younger scholars in the future to see our backs.”
Yuan Zuozong rarely showed sadness in front of others. At this moment, he sighed unconcealedly, “You said Chu Lushan is smart, but even if the blind man can’t see it, he is very fucked by just listening. How smart can such a person be said to be stupid, but he has the ability to be in a rhyme, and his poems and songs are all natural. If you say that generals and generals are talented, only Chen Zhibao can beat Chu Lushan. In the past, I was extremely disgusted with Chu Lushan, thinking that this person is not popular, and now he is a little better, but I guess he will never be complacent with him in this life. But Yuan Zuozong felt that such a person can be called a ‘Mr.’ I can’t understand what they want when he and Chen Zhibao.”
Yuan Zuozong wanted to speak but stopped. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xu Fengnian jogging to buy a tray of buns from the vendor. Yuan Zuozong smiled, “Okay, it’s really not accustomed to asking him to say flattering words.”
Yuan Zuozong originally wanted to say that although Your Highness can’t become a gentleman, one day, your back will be the front of the Central Plains.
All people will look north.
Weize County, Ningzhou is Shang County, and two county magistrates can be matched with Li Yanglu. Weize County is located in a remote area, with strong people, which is particularly difficult to tame. If there is any slightest movement in the world, refugees will flee and occupy the mountains and forests. Liyang attached great importance to Ma Zheng and implemented it in Lianghuai and other places for many years. Ningzhou had poor grass and was far inferior to other places. It was not suitable to raise horses. However, Ningzhou was one of the thirteen “old states” in Liyang, and was taller among the short ones and was also among the Ma Zheng. During the Spring and Autumn Period, almost all the state raised horses, which was considered to be a contribution to the Zhaoshi. Most of the officials at the provincial and provincial governor level were promoted to the capital to officials. However, the people’s livelihood in Ningzhou was declining, leaving behind a mess full of holes. The officials in Beijing were appointed outside the capital, and the rest of the land were all beautiful and poor, and Ningzhou was regarded as a fear of the way.
There are still thousands of horse-raising thieves from horse breeders wandering around in Ningzhou, and the horse-prone disaster is the most common among the imperial court. The county magistrate took office two years ago, but he was cut off his head by dozens of horse thieves on Yangchanbanpo, which was about to rush north and south, and took away gold, silver and fine softness. The official uniforms and seals fell all over the ground, shaking the court and the country. The Emperor of the Zhao family was furious and sent a member of the Ministry of War with a royal family to lead 800 elite soldiers to fight the bandits. He won consecutive battles and reported more than a hundred beheadings. Later, he was impeached by the censors. The court realized that the horse was cunning. The Yuanwai Lang could not find any trace of the bandits. He had to collude with local officials and replace them with death row prisoners in prison. Among them, there were sixteen innocent people. The Minister of the Sanha was taken to the spot.After death, the two captains and eight hundred elite soldiers were all exiled to Liaodong.
“I would rather be a minor official in another state than a high-ranking official in Ningzhou.” This shows the difficulty of Ningzhou’s governance.
As a literati, there are many rules and regulations. It is good to be a county magistrate. Although the rank is low, it is a real shortage of being a top-ranked person. After all, it is considered a ruling party and is expected to be promoted. However, if you become a county lieutenant who is in prison and arrested for punishment, it will become a joke. As for going to Wuze County near Yangchanbanpo in Ningzhou to be a county lieutenant, it would be a tragic event that the relatives suffer from the enemy.
The two county magistrates in Wuze County have always been one of them. The old county magistrate Yan Huasheng is from Wuze neighboring county. He is addicted to alcohol and is willing to flatter the two adults, the county magistrate and the chief clerk, drink and have fun together, and be happy to please the county magistrate. He is not very capable, but if he wants to suppress the bandits, it will cost him his life.
