Chapter 251 Recovery

Wen Yanbo knew that the emperor's child prodigy was about to show up again, so he quickly stopped him and said sternly: "Your Majesty, there are so many things going on in the world, it's not appropriate to just focus on a mere child!"

"Oh." Zhao Zhen had no choice but to put away his curiosity angrily: "I just want to ask... what happened to what the censor said that Zhao Zhuan raised an archer privately, no, a crossbowman?"

Zhang Fangping came out and said: "Your Majesty, this is what I did in Yizhou."

Zhao Zhen said: "Zhang Qing will tell you."

Zhang Fangping said: "There is an Erlin tribe in the southwestern Yi, and its ghost leader Atun Chizun is the General of Fuyuan conferred by our dynasty."

"The Shama tribe on the other side of the Jinsha River in Yizhou sacrificed people and animals. It is not a crime to kill. The Erlin tribe attacked them. This is an internal matter of the southwestern barbarians. The imperial court has always been reluctant to cause trouble and let it go."

"However, the area of ​​the Shama tribe is not small. After the land was left without an owner, I thought of it as a containment strategy and sent refugees to cultivate it. It has already been effective, with no less than 10,000 acres of land acquired."

"Because the land is mixed with barbarians and the four armies are too weak, we gathered the good people from the countryside as archers, a total of 600 people, to defend the people who are stationed in the fields."

Zhao Zhen nodded: "Then what is the reason for this incident in Luzhou?"

Privy Councilor Jia Changchao came out and said: "Your Majesty, the incident of draining the well this time was caused by the drying up of salt brine and insufficient salt production. Many of the surrounding tribes relied on draining salt for a living. They couldn't ask for salt because they were dissatisfied, so they

We surrounded Qiujing."

"Fortunately, Zhao Zhuan envoy responded in time and sent Erlin tribesmen and archers along the border to scare them, and then transferred Ling salt to solve the problem."

"This time in dealing with Luzhou affairs, the Yi people were grateful to see that the Song Dynasty was fair. The chief of the Longshan tribe confessed his guilt and was punished. After shackles, he knelt in the cold for three days in front of his tribe."

"After that, all the barbarians made an alliance and invaded the commercial roads, people's fields, and salt wells. All the tribes attacked them together! They were also willing to accept the land, make sacrifices, pay taxes, and imitate the Great Song Dynasty in establishing households to equalize the people."

Zhao Zhen was so happy that he was about to float. Just when he was about to boast in a humble way because of his kindness that spread among the barbarians, Jia Changchao poured a ladle of cold water on him in the blink of an eye.

That’s all, it’s not accepted.”

Zhao Zhen secretly rolled his eyes, you bunch of civil servants just don't want to make me happy even once.

The censor refused to give up: "Your Majesty, the person I am impeaching is a local archer holding a powerful crossbow, which is not suitable for the system!"

Jia Chang bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the northern barbarians are good at bows and the southern barbarians are good at crossbows. This is natural. These crossbows are not in the arsenal of the Song Dynasty, let alone the archers along the border. These are the weapons owned by the Erlin tribe. Normally,

It is lent to the Han people for training and patrolling."

Zhao Zhen found it inconceivable: "The southwestern Yi people lend their weapons to the Han people? Do they have such a good relationship?"

Jia Changchao replied: "General Fuyuan of the Erlin Department has admired the Song Dynasty for a long time. He hired teachers, built schools, collected classics, and allowed the Yi people to learn Chinese characters and Chinese in his jurisdiction. He also sent his youngest son to study at Meishan Academy.

"

Ouyang Xiu said: "Your Majesty should be careful with your words. If the Yi people have a Chinese heart and are willing to abide by the Chinese constitution, regulations, etiquette, and systems, they should be encouraged and encouraged to enter China! They should not treat them with a double heart!"

Zhao Zhen said: "Well, what Aiqing said is that the people of Jisi Prefecture are of course my people. So after saying this for a long time, it actually doesn't matter?"

The ministers were very embarrassed. You looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing how to respond.

After all, Zhao Zhen was kind and took the initiative to tell the ministers: "The imperial censor has a low position but a heavy responsibility. It is the ancestral system to report things according to rumors. Even if the report is wrong, I don't blame you. In the future, it will be like today.

Like, lots of advice.”

"The three things you impeached today make me very happy. The things have been clarified. I know that scholars are filial, gentry are kind, officials are diligent, and barbarians know etiquette. This is good."

"Come down to the central committee and draw up the regulations. Chiefs like Atun Chizun of the Erlin tribe, who know and practice the laws of the Song Dynasty and dare to relieve the court from worries, should be rewarded."

"Meishan Jiangqing is loyal to the country. Since I have such a benevolent and nurturing heart, I will not hesitate to say this again!"

"Young and Su Su, Nan Cao should put their files aside for the time being. There is no need to deal with them for the time being. Once they have taken care of their mother, they will come back to me for trial as officials. There is no need to rush. Scholars from Shu, come out and rush for the exam.

It’s just a two-month journey, not easy..."

"As for the child from the Zhang family, I look forward to him taking the exam again. If he is really talented and learned, why should the court worry that there is no other place for him to show his talents?"

"I don't think it's a bad thing if young people have such an aggressive spirit that they don't want to be left behind. Gentlemen, how about you tolerate a little bit of the younger generations?"

Everyone bowed together: "Your Majesty is Holy Ming! We respectfully respect the Holy Order!"

…

The door of the Su family's house was knocked open with a bang.

Su Xun's face became even thinner. When he saw Mrs. Cheng who was being helped by Su You to spread out in the garden, her lips trembled: "Madam, madam, you are still alive...the sky has eyes..."

Mrs. Cheng glanced at Su You reproachfully: "You didn't tell your cousin about my improvement?"

Su You did it on purpose. He knew that Su Xun had deep feelings for Mrs. Cheng, but this cousin liked to stay away from home and run around outside. This was because Mrs. Cheng didn't care about this with him, and she indulged him blindly. He was spoiled.

Just like a child.

This time is to teach my cousin a lesson, let him know how to cherish the people in front of him.

Su Xun was really frightened this time. If Mrs. Cheng was gone, this family could not imagine what it would be like.

It was a long and tiring journey all the way, but when I saw that there was no sign hanging on the door, I felt lucky. When I opened the door, I saw that the person in my mind was still standing in the garden as usual.

Su Xun couldn't help but feel as if he had risen from the eighteenth level of hell to heaven, and his heart almost exploded with joy.

Su Shi and Su Che also rushed in. When they saw that Mrs. Cheng was still alive, they couldn't help but fall on their knees at their mother's feet, touch their foreheads to the ground, and cry with joy.

Of course Su You didn't admit it and opened his mouth to lie: "Well, I wrote the letter, I guess I missed it on the way..."

The father and son didn't know how many times they held their heads and cried along the way. Now they were so happy that they didn't care about anything anymore.

Su Xun waved her hands happily: "It's okay, it's okay. It's better than anything else to know that Madam is fine! Madam, please sit down quickly, I see you are not well yet..."

Mrs. Cheng sat down and sighed: "If it weren't for Taoist Priest Yuju Guanyuande, Xiao Tianshi, Xiao You and Wei'er, I would definitely not be able to see you this time..."

Su Xun said: "Yes, yes, yes, Yu Ju Guan is the great benefactor of my Su family. Ever since I enshrined Zhang Xian, every misfortune in my family has turned into good fortune, and every misfortune has turned into good fortune. I will go and put some incense sticks in a while. How many more are there in the house?"

Gold? All donated to Yu Ju Guan..."

Mrs. Cheng smiled and said: "There is no gold at home, so I made purple snow powder."

Shi Wei came over with a bowl of medicine: "Sister-in-law, it's time to drink the medicine."

Mrs. Cheng took the bowl and stroked Shi Wei's cheek: "Weier, there is an epidemic in Meishan. At a young age, you have been traveling between Shalu and Beijiyuan. The men of the Su family are big-hearted. Being a woman of the Su family is...

It’s not very hard…”

Shi Wei opened her eyes wide and didn't understand what Mrs. Cheng meant: "It's not hard work. I didn't do anything. At most, I handed the needle to the bearded father-in-law..."

Su You quickly interrupted: "Sister-in-law, you are not well yet. After drinking the medicine, you go to your room to rest, close your eyes and rest your mind. By the way, you can listen to how Su and Su became a Jinshi, okay?"

Su Xun asked: "Mingrun, do you have anything else?"

Su You sighed: "Even if the response was timely, hundreds of people still died in Meishan and Mausoleum. Now that the epidemic has finally passed, Zhizhou's idea is that people who happened to be in the Jade Bureau Temple will do a ritual to pay homage to the deceased. It is also considered as this.

It's an end."

Su Xun nodded: "That's right, then you can go. As a family, I can't thank you enough for this great kindness."
