There are two main ways to transmit documents and official goods in Song Dynasty, one is post office and the other is delivery.

Posts generally transmit ordinary documents, and delivery means transmitting military information or other emergency documents. Delivery means delivery. Because it belongs to the Shangshu Province, it is also called "provincial shop".

There are shopkeepers and shop soldiers, who are specifically responsible for delivering documents, official goods, etc.

The delivery shop is divided into slow delivery and emergency delivery. The emergency delivery shop has a copper bell tied to the collar. When galloping on the road, the bell rings during the day and fires at night, and people are not responsible for hitting. The pavilion changes the horse and the number of pavilions is changed, regardless of wind and rain. It is a journey day and night, and the travel can reach up to 500 miles a day.

Therefore, Yan Guowen, the transfer judge of Fujian Road Transfer Department, sent the memorial on the "Quanzhou Civil Rebellion" to Kaifeng Prefecture, Song Jingshi in just ten days.

"Your Majesty, since June, there have been constant natural disasters everywhere in our Holy Dynasty. At this moment, Your Majesty should do three things: go out to the southern suburbs to worship, eat Taimiao, worship the heaven and earth in the Circular Mound, one; forgive the world, reduce the moral reputation in the four capitals, reduce the prison sentence first, and explain it to the following two; light labor service, reduce taxes, and calm the people's hearts, three. Your Majesty..."

Under a side palace in the Song Dynasty, Shangshu's right servant Zeng Bu bowed and said to Emperor Zhao Ji of Song.

"I understand..." Zhao Ji waved his hand impatiently and interrupted Zeng Bu without waiting for Zeng Bu to finish speaking.

Zeng Bu reported three things, which are what ordinary emperors would do when natural disasters occur, and are not new. How could Zhao Ji not know about history books?

Among them, what is truly useful for disaster relief and can appease the people is light labor service, less taxes, and less labor service, and less taxes will reduce the taxes of the court.

At this time, the imperial treasury was empty and he had to deal with the war in Xixia. In this way, the money and food that could be used to provide relief to the victims was very small, and even less were distributed to various prefectures and prefectures, which was like dropping a drop in the bucket.

Zhao Ji was the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Of course, he understood that if the disaster was not available and the people were appeased, it would inevitably cause civil unrest and may even cause chaos in the world.

But at this time, Zhao Ji was in a difficult position and could not afford much money to provide food to comfort the people.

At this time, Zhao Ji was extremely bored by the way in the hall to talk about natural disasters, but he could not really increase the treasury income and at the same time he could provide relief and appease the people.

"People from Yuanyou" can only talk big, and only "People from Yuanfeng" can have good strategies for governing the country. This is Zhao Ji's impression of the ministers in the court at this time.

Although Zeng Bu was a "people from Yuanfeng", he was actually a middle-aged man, who both wooed "people from Yuanyou" and "people from Yuanfeng".

Zeng Bu blushed and stood there, his short body trembling slightly.

As Zhao Ji was in power for a long time, he became more and more powerful and became more and more arbitrary. He did not seek the opinions of ministers such as the prime minister at all, and directly issued an edict in the form of a handwritten edict.

Especially after the Empress Dowager Xiang's funeral, Zhao Ji was even more like a bird that had escaped from the cage, spreading his wings and flying high. No one could control him slightly, and the ministers in the court were becoming more and more afraid of Zhao Ji.

This is completely different from when Zhao Ji first entered the palace to ascend the throne. At that time, Zhao Ji was a polite and humble man.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward, and the Shangshu Zuo Pushe Han Zhongyan hurriedly entered the hall.

Therefore, he was old and was in a hurry to go, so he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

It’s time to retire. Zhao Ji shook his head in his heart when he saw this, saying, “How can such a person stay in the position of prime minister for a long time?

At this time, Han Zhongyan had already passed his sixties. Although he was still far away from his seventies, he was already extremely old.

"Hurry up and support Han Qing's family." Although Zhao Ji had the intention to demote Han Zhongyan, he still seemed extremely concerned and said to his left and right.

Hearing this, the two eunuchs hurriedly walked forward and helped Han Zhongyan to Zhao Ji's throne.

"The old minister is not at ease." Han Zhongyan got rid of the two eunuchs, took out a memorial from his sleeve and said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, Fujian Road urgently reported."

"Fujian Road urgent report? Get it quickly!" Zhao Ji said to the left and right after hearing that it was a memorial for Fujian Road.

Li Sanjian left Kaifeng Prefecture, Song Jingshi in February of the first year of Jianzhong Jingguo. It was August and had been away for half a year. Therefore, Zhao Ji had not received any news from Li Sanjian for a long time. At this time, Fujian Road urgently reported that Zhao Ji wanted to get some news from Li Sanjian.

However, the word "civil rebellion" on the memorial scared Zhao Ji.

"At the beginning of June, the floods were severe, and Quanzhou became even worse. After more than a month of heavy rain, it damaged the houses, countless houses, drowned in the houses, countless crops, and many people drowned. The people of the common people were displaced and had no food and clothing. More than 100,000 hungry people asked for relief, and hungry people were hungry... But Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, entered Fujian in May, but did not want to provide relief, appease the people, digging dikes and releasing water without authorization, and there were countless fertile land, and the drowned people were also very serious. What's more, Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, was named as the Duke's Mansion. What's more, Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, was named after the Duke's Mansion.

He borrowed money from Quanzhou Fushi, and used all kinds of temptations. The rich people in Quanzhou were extremely miserable. At the same time, he bought rice at high prices, raised rice prices, competed for profits with the people, and seized food from the mouths of the people. The people could not bear the humiliation and could not bear the hunger and robbed rice shops. The people in Quanzhou had already changed. However, Li Sanjian still ignored this and ordered the scholars and common people to perform "dragon boat races" and "Qijie Festival" and other things. This is a rebellious act. Yan Guoqian, the transfer envoy of the Fujian Road Transport Department, was heartbroken..."

The Yan Guoqian memorial exaggerated the incident in Quanzhou several times, describing Li Sanjian as the most brutal corrupt official in history, a cruel official who had never been there before... At the same time, the Yan Guoqian memorial also stated how he was doing to Li Sanjian and how he tried to persuade him with great pains. However, Li Sanjian still did his own thing, turned a blind eye and acted alone. So Yan Guoqian had no choice but to hand over to the court, hoping that the court could punish Li Sanjian and at the same time to quell the civil unrest in Quanzhou as soon as possible.

"He is the chief official of Fujian Road. Since Li Hanren has stirred up a civil unrest, why didn't he handle him immediately?" After reading the memorial, Zhao Ji threw the memorial on the imperial case and said coldly.

Zhao Ji waited for half a year and finally waited for news from Li Sanjian. But this news actually made Zhao Ji extremely angry and disappointed.

You should know that Li Sanjian was a minister of Zhao Ji's secret residence and a confidant minister. Li Sanjian was able to escape after killing Duke Zhao Han of Wei. He was able to become the governor of Quanzhou because Zhao Ji was supported by him. As an official in Quanzhou, it was basically Zhao Ji's idea.

Many ministers understand this matter in their hearts, and they understand it clearly.

But at this time, Li Sanjian actually had such a thing, which was almost equivalent to slapping Zhao Ji in the face,

Zhao Ji was extremely embarrassed and disappointed.

"Han Qing's family, you must have read the memorial too. What are your ideas?" Zhao Ji asked the old Han Zhongyan after a long time of dullness.

The urgent delivery was first delivered to the Secretariat, and the memorial was brought into the palace by Han Zhongyan. Of course, Han Zhongyan had already read the memorial.

He is your favorite minister, why do you want me to make an idea? Han Zhongyan said in his heart when he heard this. At the same time, Han Zhongyan noticed that after reading the memorial, Zhao Ji only blamed the judge of Fujian Road Transport, but his face was extremely ugly. However, Zhao Ji was not furious and did not issue an order on the spot to take Li Sanjian down and send it to the capital. Such a subtlety must be taken seriously, otherwise he would be wrong and the consequences would be unpredictable.

So Han Zhongyan thought about it over and over again and said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, I received a report from Fujian Road today. I dare not delay it for a moment, so I sent it to the palace and was inspected by Your Majesty. Your Majesty, the old minister discovered something from the report, that is, Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, left the capital in February and entered the Fujian territory in May. Although the Fujian area is thousands of miles away, it is not until three months before entering the Fujian territory? February is enough, so the court should consider it for his slackness. The second is that Li Sanjian entered Fujian in May and served as the governor of Quanzhou. He encountered the floods of Quanzhou. As a chief official of a state, he should lead his troops.

Leading the people to manage water, perform relief and scrupulous people, but at this critical moment, he unearthed the embankment and released water, without countless fertile land, and drowned people and animals, which aggravated the disaster, competed for profit and seized food from the mouths of the people. This is indeed a counter-intentioned act. It should be severely punished to calm the people's hearts and serve as a warning. However, Your Majesty, the old minister has been thinking about it again and again. Quanzhou is a place with a sea spoil, thousands of miles away from the capital, which can be said to be high and far. What is the situation in Quanzhou? It should be clearly observed. Therefore, the old minister believes that the court should envoy to go to Fujian and inspect Quanzhou. After the investigation, it will be decided."

Li Sanjian was Zeng Bu's people. Many ministers in the court believed that Li Sanjian was worshipped by Zeng Bu's disciples. Therefore, if Li Sanjian was overthrown, it would have a significant impact on Zeng Bu. At least he could recommend an unknown crime to be placed on Zeng Bu's head.

One thing or two things may not have much impact on Zeng Bu, but ten things or hundreds of them will inevitably affect Zhao Ji's decision. When it accumulates to a certain extent, it will be the day when Zeng Bu falls.

However, Han Zhongyan considered Zhao Ji, so he did not say anything and left a way out for himself.

"Well, the Han Qing family is a polite statement. Who should the Han Qing family be the one who should be the envoy?" Zhao Ji asked after thinking for a moment.

"Your Majesty, Chen Cisheng, the right counselor, is upright and upright. He can go to Quanzhou to Mokan Quanzhou magistrate Li Sanjian." Han Zhongyan replied.

"Your Majesty!" Zeng Bu, who was standing beside him, finally spoke: "The old minister has something unknown about the matter reported by the memorial. Please ask Your Majesty to ask about this matter."

In fact, Li Sanjian did not worship Zeng Bu's disciples, but Li Sanjian was positive about some of Zeng Bu's views, such as Zeng Bu's views such as "Yuanyou and Shaosheng both lost something", which Li Sanjian agreed with. Therefore, it is understandable that the two were closer together, but most people think that Li Sanjian was worshipped by Zeng Bu's disciples.

In fact, many of Li Sanjian's views or views are different from Zeng Bu.

This is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.
