"Song Jiang?"
Hearing Li Qingzhao mention Song Jiang, Chu Zhen instinctively thought of "Water Margin": One hundred and eight heavenly gangs and earth demons, Wu Song fighting tigers, Lin Jiaotou in the Fengxue Mountain Temple, Pan Jinlian hanging upside down... Bah, I got it wrong.
Chu Zhen stopped his distracting thoughts. In fact, the Song Jiang and Fangla uprisings were recorded in history books. History books came first and then Water Margin, just like there was Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms first and then Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
"How much do you know about Song Jiang?" he asked Li Qingzhao.
"I only know that the Song Jiang bandits came from the water and stopped at Liangshan. They were located on the East Road of Jingdong, and then went north to invade the Hebei Road. There were thirty-six generals in their tents. They were all good at water and were fierce and arrogant people."
After saying that, Li Qingzhao couldn't help but ask: "Will Song Jiang reach Bianjing?"
She recently went out to ride a donkey around Bianjing City. At a restaurant and tea shop, she heard a lot of people talking about the Fang La Song River incident. There were various theories. Those who claimed to have escaped often said that rebels kill people like cutting grass. Everything can make onlookers stunned.
"Does Miss Lin know?"
Chu Zhen did not do much research on Song Jiang Fangla.
Even though Sister Lin is only in her early teens, she has read a lot of books.
"I only remember that in the history of Song Dynasty, it was written that Fang La was powerful, Song Jiang surrendered and then rebelled, and was killed after repeated several times." Lin Daiyu said.
Li Qingzhao sighed: "Nowadays, the imperial government is lax in its political affairs, its armaments are depleted, and the parties have been fighting for many years. Although there are Jin bandits in the north to contain the Liao thieves, the officials..."
Speaking of the Holy Emperor, Li Qingzhao did not dare to say more, so he turned to say: "I heard from my father that Prime Minister Cai promoted the Fangtian Equalization Tax Law. I thought that although he suppressed the Yuanfeng Party such as Su Weng, his actions were similar to Ban Shanggong. , trying to eliminate the ills of government affairs and eliminate the evils of redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses.
Unexpectedly, I heard Sister Lin say that Prime Minister Cai is a traitor... Who are the six thieves? Lieutenant Tong? Grand Tutor Yang Jian? "
Yang Jian is not Erlang Shen, but a eunuch with the same name as Tong Guan.
"According to Song history, the six thieves were Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu (sound Fu), Liang Shicheng, Zhu Meng (sound avoidance), and Li Yan."
Lin Daiyu read it in one breath, which shows her good memory.
"……ah?"
Li Qingzhao was stunned. She had never heard of the last four, but since they were as famous as Cai Xiang, it was not easy to come up with them.
Chu Zhen shook his head in admiration: "Song Huizong is known as knowing people and making good use of them. From eunuchs to prime ministers, from grand masters and lieutenants to grand masters, they are all famous people!"
Li Qingzhao's Song Dynasty was no less exciting than Li Shimin's late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty.
There are Jin and Liao in the north, Xixia in the west, Cai Jingtong and Yang Jian in the middle, and peasant uprisings such as Fangla and Songjiang below. In addition, there are Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu, Zhang Zeduan and other great poets, calligraphers, and calligraphers, plus a currently unknown person. Li was a talented woman who led the trend of the Song Dynasty.
What an unprecedented event!
"Chu Langjun, do you have any insights?"
Li Qingzhao looked over with pleading eyes.
She didn't know why the Jingkang incident happened before, but now after hearing what Chu Langjun and Sister Lin said, she realized that there were so many treacherous officials in the court.
"My opinion?"
Chu Zhen thought for a while and said: "The Song Dynasty should not even think about regaining the Sixteenth Province of Youyun. If they don't have the strength, let the Liao and Jin fight. The Song Dynasty's ability to defeat Xixia is already a great achievement.
In addition, let Song Huizong stop being a coward, open the city gate, run out and be captured by the bandits... It makes people doubt that he has a brain and no knees! "
Chu Zhen didn't ask Song Huizong to eliminate traitors, eradicate political ills, and leave Hua Shigang alone. Can this guy do this?
He can't do it!
As long as Song Huizong could not form an alliance with the Jin Kingdom or leave the city to surrender, the Song Dynasty would not be divided into north and south.
"Alas...Youyun Sixteen States."
Li Qingzhao sighed deeply, "Taizu wanted to regain it all his life. Shenzong once had a decree that those who restored the Yan land would be rewarded with fiefs and kings despite their different surnames. But I never thought that the decree would turn into a legacy. Until now, Naturally, the officials also want to regain the Sixteen Prefectures."
Song Huizong didn’t have that strength!
Chu Zhen didn't say this sentence. From Li Qingzhao, it can be seen how many people in Bianjing City are thinking about Youyun Sixteen States at this moment.
Li Qingzhao wrote "I heard that Ming Dynasty collected thistles from Liaodong", which was from the joy of his heart.
But Zhao Ji really can’t do it!
Unless you cheat him.
"Cai Jing is currently implementing the square field equalization tax law?"
Chu Zhen changed the topic, he only remembered the Qingmiao method.
"Um."
Li Qingzhao nodded and said: "Fangtian equalization tax is to inventory and measure the cultivated land in various states and counties, and divide it into five grades to determine the tax amount per mu. I think it is a good measure, but since Banshan Gong implemented it, it has been opposed by Wen Gong and other ministers. When Empress Dowager Gao came to the court to listen to the government, she revived Duke Wen and abolished all reforms."
"Who is Mr. Wen?"
"...Sima Guang."
"Oh, I got it."
Chu Zhen nodded.
Lin Daiyu, who was listening quietly on the side, covered her small mouth with a handkerchief and smiled. No wonder Uncle Chu always called him by his first name. It turned out that he didn't remember other people's names and names at all.
"Reform is indeed difficult."
Chu Zhen said with emotion: "Even if the emperor supports the new law, it is good, but if it is passed down layer by layer, it will make mistakes and become an excuse for officials to exploit the people. A large number of officials, gentry and landlords whose interests have been violated are also causing trouble."
The real situation of the reform is just like Wang Anshi's reform in the Song Dynasty.
It is impossible that the emperor issued an imperial edict, and the people in the countryside cheered in unison, moved to thank the emperor for his kindness, and the treasury was immediately filled the next year.
That's playing games, not history.
Song Huizong and Cai Jing implemented the Fangtian Tax Equalization Law, which was just for fun.
"Have you visited Bianjing again recently? Have you written any articles?"
Chu Zhen asked Li Qingzhao with a smile.
"I have written a few articles."
Li Qingzhao blushed and was embarrassed to show him the article.
Chu Zhen urged a few words, and Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "Sister is ashamed. They and I all brought gifts, but sister is empty-handed."
Li Qingzhao blushed, thinking that Sister Lin noticed the way he looked at the gifts just now.
"What's the big deal? What else can I do to give gifts? I like giving rouge rice, and I also like giving Bianjing snacks!"
Chu Zhen said with a smile: "Besides, is it possible that Miss Li, who has read many books and can write poems and lyrics, hasn't heard of the saying that one word is worth a thousand pieces of gold?"
Li Qingzhao bit his lip and blushed. After a long while, he shyly took out a few rolled papers from his sleeves and handed them to him.
She felt shy, why did his words sound like he was teasing her? He also teased Sister Lin, who can also compose poems.
"Let me see the little lady's masterpiece."
Chu Zhen opened the scroll and saw a picture that looked like a flying chess piece. There were square grids in the picture and columns of words in the corners.
Lin Daiyu, who came over to look, read out:
"Purple swallow, red rabbit, white rabbit, bronze sparrow, auspicious phoenix..."
"Snapped!"
With lightning speed, Li Qingzhao snatched the drawing in front of Chu Zhen with his small hands and quickly opened another piece of paper for him.
"Travel Notes on Bianjing City II".
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Chu Zhen and Lin Daiyu laughed so hard, and Sister Lin even laughed so hard that her slender body trembled, and she leaned on the back of the sofa, her little face turned red.
Li Qingzhao blushed with embarrassment and defended angrily: "What, you are not allowed to laugh...beating a horse is, it is...a boudoir show!"
Chu Zhen suppressed his laughter and said: "Last time you didn't use it to play horse pictures, I almost forgot about it. Now you want to teach us? I don't mind playing boudoir drama."
Lin Daiyu leaned on the back of the sofa and looked at sister Qingzhao with a smile.
"You are all laughing at me... I won't teach you anymore, let's talk about Sister Lin first."
Li Qingzhao was still shy and asked Lin Daiyu to speak first.
"Where are you, Miss Lin?"
Chu Zhen looked at Lin Daiyu with a smile.
Sister Lin is so nice!
The things she has to experience are limited to Ning and Rong Mansion, and most of them have been seen by Chu Zhen. He is much more familiar with Dream of Red Mansions than Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty. He even remembers Sister Lin fishing!
He is also a fisherman.
It’s a pity that I don’t know if she is in the Air Force. I will exchange fishing experiences with her when I have time.
