Chapter 296: Meeting the King of Shu
There are three towers in the backyard of the Qingyang Palace, and the left is the nativity platform. A white-haired baby is put on the plastic. It is said that this is the Taishang Laojun who was born. A tall ginkgo tree was placed under the stage. A futon was placed under the tree. A man in a green robe sat meditating on the tree. His legs were wide, his hands were resting on his knees, and his face was clear. He was about 40 years old.
Zhu Rongjin and the administrative ambassador An Wentao and the inspector general Lu Zheng came and saw that he was meditating with his eyes closed. The three of them took their steps lightly and walked slowly behind him, standing still and waiting.
The people in the green robe meditating had a pale face and no blood. He sat for a long time before he took a long breath and said, "Gun'er?"
Zhu Ranjin busy bowed and said, "Father King is a child. And Master An and Lord Lu come to visit Father King together."
This practising monk who meditated under the ginkgo tree was Zhu Binhan, the well-known first king of Daming. He made a sigh of indecision, lowered his legs, and turned to say: "Is the mission already settled?"
An Wentao said busy: "Yes! The Shuguan Chinese military officials just led the mission to the city, and the mission said that the emperor also missed the condition of the prince in Beijing, and he was asked to visit the Sichuan inspection period. Tomorrow. Chincha should be here. "
"Oh, did the emperor ask him to visit on his behalf?" Shu Wu smiled faintly, and said: "The lonely king's illness is erratic. This life is already going to be gone. What is there to visit?"
An Wentao and Lu Zheng said anxiously: "Yangye is the soul of Bashu, the pillar of the southwest. The court and the people of Bashu are looking forward to the early recovery of the lord. The lord is just as strong as his adult life. language".
The King of Shu shook his head and waved his hand: "The lonely king's illness, the lonely king knows a lot. I don't talk about this. What I am concerned about is the son of the world, so Xu is in dispute with the Hans in the mediation of Syrian state. Related to the safety of Bashu and even Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.
This King cannot handle this matter himself this time. It is the first time that Shizi has taken on such a heavy responsibility. He is alone and worried. Now, it is a blessing for Bashu that he can only help two adults to help and help Shizi to eliminate the misfortune. "
"This matter is also within the responsibility of the official, the official is duty-bound. The lord should rest assured that it is," An Wentao and the two quickly bowed down to salute.
The King of Shu nodded and said, "Well, when I was sent to Sichuan, the military and criminal sciences of Junchuan must be understood. The two adults were busy on official duties and had to receive court angels. They were so overwhelmed that they did not have to come and visit in the next few days. The orphan disease It ’s life and death, huh, that ’s how it drags on.

An Wentao and the two were still to be persuaded, but they saw that King Shu was a little tired, and they had to sigh. Bowed down: "Xiaguan obeyed his orders, and then returned to the Yamen, and prepared the Wenshu case for consultation with the emperor, please ask the lord to be calm and quiet."
The two knew that the king of Shu had ordered the guest so early. He must have explained to the second prince, so he would not stay, just give a few sentences, and then leave. As soon as the two were gone, Zhu Rongqin's expression immediately restrained, his sleeves drooped, and he stood respectfully, and he did not dare to move.
The Shu family is very strict. Zhu Rangjin has always been self-preserving, not greedy for drinking, not indulgent in femininity, not making waves, and close friends who have been very close, except for Yang Shen and the madman of Qingcheng, most of them are royal relatives and friends. However, he was often reprimanded by the King of Shu for his lightness and lack of progress, and Zhu Rangqin respected his father since childhood.
Zhu Rongjin only said that he was known by his father when he traveled to Lu County this time. It must be another reprimand. So he dared not look at him with his head down, just waiting for his father to blame. Unexpectedly, there was no movement during the day. Zhu Ranjin raised his head strangely, only to see that King Shu's brows were slightly frowned.
Yang Ling is now the most beloved minister in the Holy Spirit. The emperor has just ascended the throne and sent the most trusted ministers to patrol the world to understand the subjects and the military and political affairs of various places. It should have been normal. However, Yang Ling left Beijing for a moment in Shandong, and stopped in Jinshan, Jiangsu for two days.
He served as the governor of six provinces in Zhejiang and Fujian, presided over the anti-Japanese war and solicited pirates, and helped Mangajia reinstate the country. Wherever he goes, there are pictures. After that, it passed Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guizhou, and stayed in each place for no more than four days. Um ... did he say how long he would stay in Bashu? "
"Children don't know", the character is good-looking, Zhu Xianjin, a well-known Xuanyi son, dare not show up in front of his father. If he has questions or answers, he will never say more.
The King of Shu stared at him and shook his head and sighed, "Let Geun Wow, do things with others and learn more from your brothers, and you can also give you less snacks for your father. All day long, they are mixed up with those crazy men and women, Poetry drawing and self-proclaimed romance, I really do n’t want to make progress. You are the second son of the king of Shu. What is the name of the Xuanyi son?
"Yes, yes, the baby knew it," Zhu let Hiran's head deeper.
"Yang Ling passed Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guizhou, and did not stop. He did not seriously visit the criminal science of the local government. It seems that he is only a guise on behalf of Tian Xun. The real purpose is for pirates and pirate plane pirates. In this way, he should not be able to stay in Sichuan for long. "
The King of Shu stood up gently, Zhu Rongjin quickly stepped forward to support him, the father and son picked up the steps and walked towards the stone path after Laozi was born. As soon as the two left, two eunuchs flashed from wherever they were, picked up the futon of the King of Shu, and followed behind.
"Shudiqiang, Tibetan, Miao, Yi and other races are many. Most of the tribes are very hard-working and the most difficult to appease. Now they are all arrogant and provoking trouble. Yang Ling is very happy with this person. If he is known, he may be credited for credit. He also used swords and guns, and ran into troubles, which made our Bashu swordsmen constantly, burying the good situation that had been maintained for many years for the father.
Geun'er wow, you usually like to drink with friends, the father Wang reprimanded you, this time you might as well show your strengths, your brother is not at home, it is up to you to return to the father Wang Yang banquet a few times, let this son The near minister has something to do, lest he be in trouble in Sichuan. He said that he was ordered by the emperor to visit as his father, and if we return the gratuity, it will not be regarded as the passing of the court system.
"Yes, the father is assured, the children will take care of it."
"Alas, what a troublesome autumn. After the father became ill, the chiefs of the ministries were ready to move. Your prince was the first time to mediate disputes between the tribes. These barbarians have fierce customs. The two people can also cause two majors because of the salt of a bamboo tube. Tens of thousands of tribes are fighting, worrying about their father.
These savages are particularly difficult to deal with. They have always refused to obey the king's order. They have been sitting in Jiangshan for more than 100 years. The friction dispute between them and the Han people has never stopped. The year before last, Emperor Xian also issued a commendation for his father's success in governing the political affairs and educating one side, making the state of Shu a bright and prosperous world. Xiaoyu all kings learned from his father.
These words are still in my ears, if it is impossible to suppress the brutal things at this time, would n’t it be a joke if something goes wrong? All the commanders and envoys had just changed people, and if something went wrong, they could not hide it. Although I am in this Qingyang Palace, where can I still feel calm like water, how can I cultivate myself? "
Zhu Binhan, the King of Shu, was only about forty years old, but he seemed to be bent under heavy pressure and turned into a declining elderly man, supported by his son. As he spoke anxiously, he walked toward the residence under the green trees.
"The king of Shu has not been in good health for the past two years. He has lived in a simplistic state. The affairs of the royal palace are mostly given to him by his son. The son of the son is quite like a father. He is calm and prudent, he is calm in his work, and he has outstanding achievements in governing, so he is not only praised by the king of Shu. , Also known as the people of Shudi love. "
"So, in fact, in the past two years, the real king of Shu is not Zhu Binhan, but Zhu Rangxu?"
"It's not wrong to say so ... Actually, Zhu Rangxu is the son of the King of Shu, the future King of Shu. Under the hope of the people, and backed by the King of Shu, his prestige status in the Sichuan army and the people is indeed not bad. Father. However, the fifteen chieftains of the Shu region are more powerful and powerful than the official and commander-in-chief and commander Si Yamen.
Liu Biao came to Sichuan only a few months ago, and it seems that many situations are well-understood, and the answer is straightforward: "The court gave the local officials great power. As long as the tribes did not involve the Han people, regardless of civil affairs and laws, the local officials Independent decision. People of all tribes only know that there is a toast. I do not know that there is a court.
Everyone in the world preached the virtues of the Shu King, naturalized Siyi with ritual education, benefited the people, recuperated and rested, so that Bashu was wealthy and the people were at ease. According to the investigation of humility, these are indeed not false, but they are somewhat exaggerated.
There are many royal families in the Shu area, and they have been buying land in enclosures for more than 100 years. Today, only Chengdu is used as an example. The land owned by the Shu King family accounts for 70%, the Weisuotuntian accounted for 20%, and the farmers with their own land are only 10%. , The rest are all tenants of King Shu. It ’s just that the King Shu received a relatively low amount of land, and the tenants ’farming income is not less than that of their own land. Therefore, the tenants only have to thank Dade and never complain about it.

Yang Ling smiled faintly: "If you do not kill chickens to get eggs, and sloppy and fish, it is indeed kinder among many princes who regard people as ruminants. However, as an interest group on such a land, the land is constantly concentrated, and sooner or later there will be disaster. As long as the King of Shu in the future no longer treats the people in accordance with the ancestors ’training, he will be able to plunge all the people into the depths of fire as soon as he possesses so much land."
He interrupted Liu Biao's words and said, "Isn't there any harm in doing this? The King of Shu is wise, after all, he can't guarantee that the entire family is compassionate, and the land circle is occupied, so there are not so many tenants, why? The imperial court never heard that a large number of Sichuan refugees had entered the Central Plains? Could it be that the King of Shu had another settlement method? "
A glance of admiration flashed in Liu Biao's eyes, and he replied: "Adults see it. There are indeed a lot of refugees in the land of Bashu who have no fields and cannot be hired. However, people do not have a guide to leave their places. It has long been a famous recommendation, but the Shu land is still the same as that of the same year. The refugees were controlled by the government and could not get out of the river. They scattered into the mountains and turned to the various tribes to survive.
These barbarians are courageous, and my Han people are wise, and with their participation, it is even more difficult for local toasts to deal with. Xiao Jinchuan's current Zhuoji Tusi Tuo Tuyu was displaced because he had no fields and no jobs. He turned to the former Tujia Lama and became his most trusted staff.
Qaba is a Lama of the Yellow Sect. Because he did not take a wife and stayed, he passed the position of toast to him when he passed away. However, due to his tragic experience of exile in the past, the toast hated the Han more than the Tibetans. It is now that even though his daughter and Shu Wang Shuzi are interacting with each other, Tuoba Yu is still easy to get into Chengdu. "
Yang Ling frowned slightly: "The land of Shu looks like the calmest area of ​​governance. In fact, the undercurrents are surging, and I don't know how many forces are competing in the dark. It's really difficult for the King of Shu, and I don't know how much thought he spent on mediation. Balance can maintain this temporary calmness on the surface. But if it is not handled properly, a problem will be exposed and it will cause a series of problem reactions, causing uproar. The King of Shu simply sits on the crater. "
"However, this multi-ethnic mixed area is also the easiest paradise for a ambition to foster conflicts and cultivate rebels. Imagine if there is such a person. He controls the entire kingdom of heaven, and his family has accumulated through more than 100 years. , Has accumulated enough wealth to support a war, and there is enough land to provide food and grass.
There are many tribes under his rule, and they can immediately recruit hundreds of thousands of naturally brave warriors without training. Moreover, they are not friendly to the court. As long as they make good use of it, they can easily transfer their opposition to their own hatred for the Ming Dynasty, but they can use their regional cognition for more than 100 years. . And Xu has certain benefits that make them a firm supporter of their own. At the same time, he is well-known, and the supreme leader of the central government is a ridiculous and unemployed emperor in the eyes of the people of the world. How much has he successfully grasped? "
Yang Ling carefully calculated for a while. A terrified conclusion was drawn: "If I want to be an emperor, if I have so many conditions, then the success is so great that it is enough for me to take the risk of copying the family and ruining the clan. Then ... Do n’t want to be an emperor? Does the future King of Shu want to be an emperor? "
He remembered the Dongchang secret Cambodia that the Emperor Zhengde showed him. It was a very sloppy and very simple sentence. It was written by Wang Qing, a thousand households in Suzhou in Dongchang, who wrote to a friend who was working in Jiangnan at the time, and Han Youhui, the seventh head of Dongchang: "Brother Han, the task of handing over the younger brother must be put on hold. My brother found a strange situation in Lumu Town, Suzhou. Some people bought gold bricks for transportation to Bashu. It was a matter of great importance and urgent. The brother suspected that the King of Shu had an anti-report and hurried to investigate. The details will be discussed later. The royal family is involved in the matter. Once the news is not true, it is a big disaster, so please destroy it immediately after seeing the letter. "
The so-called gold bricks are of course not made of real gold, but huge bricks that can only be used by the emperor. The whole country is only produced in Yuyao Village, Lumu Town, Suzhou, but this brick is unique in craftsmanship and expensive. From preparation to firing. A batch of more than a year.
More important is its political significance. There was a big general in the Hongwu dynasty who only wore a phoenix hairpin that only the concubine had the right to wear because of his wife's violation. It was cut across the door. Yuyao Village is like a military barracks. It is under strict supervision, and there is no official writing from the Ministry of Industry.
Calculated in this way, it is a huge sum of money just to pay attention to the officials, officers and soldiers and brick-burning craftsmen. If it is not to call the emperor rebellion, change the palace to the Jin Luan Palace, so as to enjoy the treatment of being an emperor, what does it buy? The terrain of the Shu area can be changed and retreated. If you can't beat the world, you can retreat to Bashu. With the support of heaven and the Chuanchuan, you must be called an emperor in a corner, at least for more than a decade of emperor addiction.
So although someone only bought gold bricks privately, Wang Qing was not exaggerating. This case is indeed a matter of great importance for the Tianda and should be investigated immediately. But Wang Qing went there, but it was like a rock sinking into the sea. Even with his four guards disappeared without a trace, he could no longer find a trace. Han Youhui realized that the situation was urgent and did not dare to hide it. So he copied Wang Qing's letter and invitation again and Pegasus rushed back to Beijing.
Fan Ting reported to the inner court that the Wang Yue was printed. Wang Yue was a cautious figure. With such a letter without evidence, how could he dare to give repeated praises and praises, and call on the world's princes to learn from the King Shu to promote the emperor? Therefore, only Dongchang was secretly secretly detected, and Dongchang dispatched a large group of people. After more than a year of investigation, no clue was found. This headless case became a suspected case and an unsolved case, so it was placed in Wang Yue to place the first-class confidential letter to Cambodia In the secret box, it was copied and used by Liu Jin.
Yang Ling was silent, and Liu Biao waited quietly. After a long while, Yang Ling said: "If the King of Shu had any objection, no one would conceal anyone. Zhu Rangxu must know the situation. Whether the King is sick or not, the son who acts as the King of Shu must also share it for him. More business.
We assume that the King of Shu did have a counterintention, such as contacting allies and negotiating military aircraft. He cannot show his head and ordinary people are not qualified to negotiate. Then there is only one person who is qualified to replace him, that is, his future successor. The King of Shu. Then we are watching Shizi and we should be able to gain something. Where is he now? "
"In Syria, it is said that both Zhangman and the local Hans had some minor friction," Liu Biao said disapprovingly: "The court courted Huan far away, and used Huairou's means to govern the local Yi nationality. It is even more intensified. Whenever there is conflict, it takes a calm attitude. It is more partial to the barbarians, so when there is conflict between the tribal chieftains, it does not cause trouble. It is often the king of Shu who comes to mediation, and the big things become small and small. Now ".
Yang Ling didn't know what was happening there. Although the people brought by Li Sen were monitoring the toasts in various places, they only went to areas where the two communities lived together and dressed up as foot merchants. Inquire about some news, so I don't know the entanglement between Duzhangman and the Han, and the current development of the situation.
Those places are all deep forests, cliffs and cliffs, and live in wilderness-like tribes. If a stranger who doesn't know the roots breaks in. Even if they don't die in their hands, they have to die in the valley of the poisonous mist or poisonous fog or starve to the primitive jungle like a ghost wall.
Wanting to send meticulous scouts to enter the inquiring news is tantamount to telling dreams. If such a place sends 100,000 troops into it, it will come down in a month. The non-combat downsizing is more than half. The remaining people cannot maintain 30% of their usual combat power. In addition, there is no place to find a block that allows thousands of people to gather together to fight and charge. Play.
Yang Ling listened and regarded it as an ordinary ethnic dispute, which did not attract enough attention. Yang Ling said: "You have collected some Sichuan people to enter the inner factory. Send them all to Syria. Just like monitoring the King of Shu, you must keep an eye on the behavior of Zhu Rongxu, the son of the world. Be careful of his mediation. To appease the name of the Turendi and collude with Duzhang quite insidiously.
Liu Biao was worried and said: "Adults, these people are now sent by me near the Qingchaxingyuan and Hecha restaurant. They are locals and have good eyesight. If they are transferred away, they will become deaf and blind. If there is any failure, it will be hard to redeem the sins of a lowly official even if he dies nine times. "
Yang Ling smiled and said with a smile: "Cautiousness does not mean doing nothing. Although your people are sent to do things. Tomorrow will meet the Queen of Shu, I will stay out of the house and will never leave the line. If the King of Shu wants to transfer troops to catch me, this is my hand. Three thousand soldiers and horses cannot guarantee my safety.
If it is an assassin, as long as I have 300 personal soldiers in my hand, it is enough to me. Your role is to use the Shu people's advantages to detect the information I need. If you do nothing, just for personal safety, then I will bypass Sichuan and go to Shaanxi. Isn't it over, why should I come to Chengdu? "
Liu Biao had no choice but to say, "Yes, then ... After waiting for tomorrow's visit to King Shu, the humble office immediately sent people to Syria.
Qingyang Palace is located in the western suburbs of Chengdu. The image of Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Moral Tianzun in Sanqing Hall is as high as nine meters, which is the first-class Taoist temple in the country. Qingyang Palace, formerly known as Qingyang House, is said to have been here by the Taishang Laojun, preaching for Guan Ling Yin Xi.
Yang Ling stepped into the Qingyang Palace accompanied by the administrative ambassador An Wentao, the press envoy Lu Zheng, the commander Li Sen and others, followed by officials of all sizes in Chengdu.
In front of the gate of Qingyanggong Mountain, there is a land god, a dragon statue, and a white tiger statue. There is also Qixing Zhuang, engraved with Taoist secret Zhuanzhuan Yunzhuan, according to the layout of Zhongtian Beidou Qixing, known as Beidou Qixing Zi. There are also dragon and phoenix piles, a pair of big stone lions, and a dragon king well.
The King of Shu was retreating in the back. The pilgrims and tourists could only go to the Doumu Palace furthest away, so they could not go deeper. Now they are visiting again. Today, they simply sealed the mountain gate, and the pilgrims were not allowed to enter until Yang Ling arrived. Open the gate and let the officials enter.
Therefore, Yang Ling stepped into the Qingyang Palace, and the large Taoist temple was clear and quiet. Only the Taoist Qian Yuan Taoist led a group of disciples to meet him. After meeting a few words, the Taoists of Qianyuan accompanied Qiancha all the way to the back, while briefly introducing the origins of Taoist temples and ancient monuments. The expressions are quite proud of the long history of this Taoist temple.
Everyone stepped into the apse through Sanqing Hall and Hunyuan Hall. Enshrined here is the real man Ci Hang, who is the Guanyin priest in Buddhism. It is said that she was originally one of the twelve Golden Immortals of Taoism. As for whether she was transferred to Lingshan Buddha, because of poor welfare, Qianren Taoist language was unknown, and Yang Ling only listened vaguely and did not ask.
After passing the Dou Ma Temple, next to the three towers in the Houyuan, the Taoist people of Qianyuan Shi Lidao said: "His Royal Highness King Shu is here for repairs. To avoid disturbing, this place has been designated as a forbidden land, and the poor road and the door are inconvenient to enter Adult please ".
Yang Ling stopped to laugh and said, "Thank you real people for leading the explanation." At this time, Zhu Rangjin wore a black robe and led two small yellow doors to greet him. He met Yang Ling without revealing the look he had known. Frankly said in a bitter way: "Let Geun respectfully welcome the Hou Ye of Qin Wei, the father is in the quiet room, Hou Ye please."
Not knowing each other, Yang Ling did not break his identity, and said with a smile: "Ben Hou is late. Prince Lau has been married".
Zhu Rangjin called him Hou Ye, Yang Ling figured out his intentions, praised in his heart, and immediately changed his tongue. Instead of claiming the official position and claiming to be the knighthood, both of them knew each other, they couldn't help but look at each other with a smile, and felt a sense of sympathy.
Although Yang Ling was sent by emperor, he was still a minister of the Ming Dynasty. The King of Shu respected his position and did not worship him in reverse. But yesterday Yang Ling said at the banquet that the emperor had asked him to visit the King of Shu, and that was the same as the emperor had spoken up and down.
If he came as a mission. It is equivalent to visiting the emperor. The king of Shu had to pay his respects to him first. He felt the emperor ’s grace. Now the two of them quietly changed their identities one by one, and they did n’t mention the mission of Chin ’s mission. Pay attention to the rules.
King Shu was a very serious person, although his illness was weak. Still have to stay and worship with strong self-support. Yang Ling hurriedly stopped, not mentioning the mission of the mission. I only said that Benhou heard that the prince was in trouble, and when he came to visit, the King of Shu no longer reluctantly lay down on the couch again, and looked at him with a slight face, apparently quite satisfied with Yang Ling's reasonableness.
Zhu Binhan's condition is indeed heavier today than yesterday, with weak limbs and short-heartedness, but it is not that Yang Ling came to deliberately pretend. When he saw that the emperor was a humble man, his mood and interest were much better, and he leaned on the couch and laughed: "The mighty warrior left Beijing this time, patrolling the southeast, and he had great merits. The king heard that you are coming all the way Vigorously promote some Nanyang species, it is said that this thing is drought-tolerant and high-yield, right? "
"Yes, after trial planting in Shaanxi, Hunan, Jingshi and other places, these crops are now harvesting. It seems that these crops are indeed longer than traditional species. Although these grains are slightly less flavorful than wheat millet, Fortunately, instead of grabbing the fertile soil, you can plant it in barren sandy land and use it as a food reserve. "
Yang Ling said while looking at his eyes and eyes, Zhu Binhan's eyes, with fatigue and calmness and calmness, he looked faint and unhappy, when he looked at him, he seemed to have a kind of royal superiority and calmness. Extremely, there is absolutely no abnormality in expression and manner.
Yang Ling's heart snapped: "I may have come to Sichuan to target the King of Shu. This is a matter of utmost importance. Once Zhu Rongjin knew the news, there was no reason why King Shu would not know. How could he be so calm? calm?
No matter how good a person's mind is, if he hears this news innocently, and sees my mission, he will inadvertently show some indignation, and his mind is clear. If he is in the middle of his heart, how can he try to conceal it, and how can he be so graceful and dripping, with no doubt about his expression? Is his scheming deep, as long as this? "
