Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 281 Undercurrent
Luoyang, Shenzhou, in the world, has also come from all over the world to pay tribute, and it has also been as numerous as March flowers, and it has also been "mountain and river arched, and its shape is better than armor in the world".

But now, even though it is called Xijing, it has become more and more dilapidated.

The Southern Expedition army's complete victory is naturally a gratifying and congratulatory event that will go down in history, but it is not the only major event in the Song Dynasty, and it is not even the most important event. Not to mention the battle of the deadly enemy Khitan in the north, even the internal affairs of the court are turbulent In general, even Sun Chunming and Zhao Guangyi governing Luoyang can't help but affect the hearts of people all over the world.

"Congratulations to Mr. Sun Fu. Congratulations to Mr. Sun Fu. Your son and Pan Shuai's army made a decisive victory and made an emergency landing in the Southern Han Dynasty with a sweeping force. They captured countless things. Everyone in the world said that he has the ability of Sun Wu, and the officials were also very happy. If you want to go to Beijing in the near future, you will be granted a privy order, the Sun family is a father and son duo, it is really gratifying and congratulatory."

Sun Chunming put down the pen in his hand to deal with official duties, his expression was as usual, and he just said indifferently: "My son is just a military supervisor. The officials know people with their eyes. On the other hand, shopkeeper Liu, we used to do business in Kaifeng, but we never had a chance to get in touch with each other, but now that I am in Luoyang, you rushed over to congratulate me, which is really, haha."

However, the uninvited visitor from the hall was none other than Zhao Pu's wife and younger brother who personally delivered Wei Wei's head a few years ago, and the new white gloves, Liu Tao.

Over the years, as Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu have turned against each other, Sun Chunming has naturally consciously drawn a clear line with everything in the Zhao family, so even though the two are rich and wealthy businessmen in Kaifeng City, they have never had contact with each other. Most of the business dealings are settled by Lao Cao.

At such a sensitive time, this guy came to Luoyang in person to congratulate himself, saying that there was nothing fishy involved, and even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe it.

It was precisely because of this that Sun Chunming's attitude towards him was naturally not good. He leaned lazily back on the large carved sandalwood chair behind him, stretched out his hand slightly, and motioned for him to sit down, which was regarded as hospitality. .

"Liu has often heard that Mr. Sun Fu is a warm and modest gentleman, but Liu came all the way from Kaifeng, but he didn't even have a cup of hot tea. Dare I ask what kind of hospitality this is?"

Sun Chunming was not annoyed, but just said calmly: "It is not sure whether it is an enemy or a friend. How does the government know whether we should treat guests with tea or with knives?"

Liu Tao shook his head with a smile when he heard the words, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you have worried too much. Liu has no malice here. He just came to express congratulations on behalf of my brother-in-law, so that the young master and my brother-in-law have a mentor-student friendship. My brother-in-law gave Congratulations, no matter where you say it, there is nothing wrong with it."

"I don't need to talk nonsense, what does the envoy mean? Could it be that seeing me and His Royal Highness Jin Wang had a quarrel, so I wanted to take the opportunity to win him over? Even if I betray King Jin, even if he betrays me, it is impossible for me to betray him."

Liu Tao laughed loudly when he heard this, patted the table and chair under his buttocks and said: "Master Fu, I see that all the furnishings in your yamen are very good. The chair under my buttocks is from Jinsunnan." Well, the brush washer on your desk seems to be from the official kilns of the Tang Dynasty. Tsk tsk, look at the things in your hall, it seems that they are all from the palace. The prince has been in Luo for less than four months, and he can prepare this. So considerate, I really admire him, I admire him."

Sun Chunming frowned and said, "It doesn't seem like, but they were moved out of Da Nei. These were all requested by the three kings from the officials when they took office."

"Oh? In this way, the three kings are very kind to you. When Liu came here, I heard that the three kings treat you like their elders, and all the big and small things in this He-nan mansion are all the same. You will manage it yourself, but if you ask anything, the three kings will all agree, isn't it true?"

Sun Chunming's face became even more ugly when he heard the words, and he said displeasedly, "What do you want to say?"

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, you are a teacher for one day and a father for life. Now that the names of your son and my brother-in-law's master and apprentice have been determined, there is no reason to change them. Instead of making it difficult for you and your father to be caught in the middle, why not Take advantage of this heaven-sent opportunity to step out of the circle and take care of yourself? The three kings have no ambitions and are noble, which is the best choice for a self-contained faction. With your ability, are you afraid that you will not be able to become a general in the future? ?”

Sun Chunming glanced at him coldly. After staring at him for a long time, Liu Tao, who was looking straight at him, was a little afraid to meet his eyes. Then he lowered his head and said to himself: "You should know how Wei Wei died. Come on, be smart. You should have said this, not the envoy. What kind of words did the envoy ask you to bring me? Please be happy, I am very busy. "

Liu Tao was quite embarrassed when he heard the words, and couldn't help but blushed a bit, snorted and said: "Yes, my brother-in-law did not bring you what I said just now, my brother-in-law asked me to ask you, do you know a Someone named Feng Zan."

"Feng Zan, governor of Xinzhou?"

"Yes, it is this person. This person is suspected of corruption. My brother-in-law intends to make a move, so I have come to ask me to come and explain. If the Fujun is related to this matter, please avoid it, don't get involved, so as not to affect Young Master Ling The mentor-student relationship with my brother-in-law."

"Ha, the prime minister is being investigated for corruption? This is really a big joke."

Liu Tao couldn't help but blushed when he heard the words. Indeed, if it is said who is the biggest corrupt official in the world, even a three-year-old child would know that it is Zhao Pu himself, especially since Liu Tao is still a white glove. Come on, that's really a bit ironic.

"Feng Zan's corruption, the evidence is convincing, the briber Liu Wei is your deputy, so brother-in-law sent me here specially to confirm that this matter should have nothing to do with you."

It's a bit ridiculous to talk about his deputy. Liu Yu is the trusted judge of Kaifeng Mansion who succeeded Zhou Judgment. It is not so much Sun Chunming's deputy as he is Zhao Guangyi's right-hand man.

In this case, it makes sense that the great corrupt official Zhao Pu would personally investigate the corruption case of a small magistrate of Xinzhou. You, the governor of Kaifeng and the king of Jin, have reached out thousands of miles away to sit in the feudal territory of Dongchuan. The official is dead, what is he going to do?
Sun Chunming held the pen tightly in his hand, and it took him a long time to calmly say, "Master Minister, do you want to be Wang Jun?"

"Your Majesty was joking, my brother-in-law is also for the justice of the court, and has no selfish intentions. Besides, how powerful is Wang Jun back then, how can my brother-in-law compare?"

Wang Jun, who was the number two person in Hou Zhou back then, was extremely powerful. It would be more appropriate to say that he was Guo Wei's partner rather than being under one person, but he ended up dying. He did three things: greedy for money, domineering, and oppressing Chai Rong.

Look at Zhao Pu again, is there any special difference?

Perhaps the only difference is that Guo Wei doesn't have a son, but Zhao Kuangyin does.
