This is how many things in the world are. When others beg their grandparents to come, they don’t know how to cherish them. Once they leave, they regret it. Since the second year of Tiansheng, they parted with Xu Ping in Zhongmu, Zhang Yuan and Wu Jiuxia have been struggling in the border prefectures along Shaanxi Road for many years and have made a big reputation, but none of the generals along the border were willing to use them. When they entered Dangxiang, they used their usual skills again and changed their names to Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, intending to violate Zhao Yuanhao's name. They also made amazing words in the downtown area and successfully received the reception from Yuanhao, who was determined to be anti-Song, and were granted official positions, and promoted them.

This was a war between Song and Dangxiang and the Border Generals dared not take this responsibility. They recruited Yao Sizong, who often traveled with Zhang and Wu, as an aide, and wrote to the court. In order to compete for people's hearts, some ministers suggested treating Zhang Yuan and Wu Jiuxia's family well and sending their families to the capital as a charity. At the same time, his brothers and nephews were sent to the border to lure Zhang Yuan.

Xu Ping was stunned for a long time when he saw this suggestion in the court newspaper. He was stunned for a long time and could not figure out the truth. There were two failed Jinshi, and there were still many such people in the border areas. What was the purpose of such a big fan? If it was to win the hearts of the people, wouldn’t this encourage other people with similar circumstances to Zhang and Wu to go to Dangxiang? If you don’t go to Dangxiang, you can’t even find a single official or a half position. After you arrive at Dangxiang, the officials may give them money and food, and the whole family will benefit from it. Is this fighting for the hearts of the people or encourage people to treason?

Xu Ping said in the chapter that if he has the spirit of a great country, he would ignore it. Just let Zhang Yuan and the others go and make trouble. Everything is up to me. Why bother with Dangxiang how to treat the two scholars who failed. If you really pay attention to these two people, then you can clearly state the sins of these two people, move their families to the mainland, and investigate the border strictly, so as not to have similar things.

Due to the fierce opposition from Xu Ping and others, the matter ended in vain. More than 100 members of Zhang Yuan and Wu Jiuxia were entrusted to Fangzhou and ordered local officials to monitor him. The two did this, and the family had hidden dangers in Huazhou, which was reasonable to move away.

By the pond in the back garden of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, Xu Ping took Sang Yi's hand and said, "After farewell in Lingnan, it has been four or five years before I knew it. Seeing that everything is normal and the style remains the same, I feel relieved!"

After the chirping, Sang Yi was asked to sit in the guest seat. Xu Ping said to Pang Ji and Shi Yannian: "When I left Yongzhou, Pang Yushi had just arrived in Lingnan, and Shi Manqing was still in the capital. He said that he had never worked in Lingnan. However, Sang Qin had always worked with you and was familiar with each other. This was the first time we civil and military officials in Lingnan got together in the capital."

Pang Ji said: "I went to Yongzhou to make a favor. I have made all the best efforts to ensure the success."

Xu Ping laughed: "Where is there to maintain the success of that place? Now the people who pick you up will still be pioneering!"

After a few people talked for a while, Xu Ping said to Sang Yi: "Scholar, do you still remember that we had two failed Jinshi who made medicine and silver in Zhongmu? Although we took them, we still let them go."

Sang Yi nodded: "I remember, it seems that one of them had a surname named Zhang and the other was Wu, and they were passers-by in Shaanxi."

"Yes, it's them! Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, these two people had a big trouble. A few months ago, they left the Song realm and defected to Dangxiang Zhao Yuanhao. I heard that they were quite respected!"

Sang Yi was stunned for a moment, looked at Pang Ji and Shi Yannian, and then said, "Those two people have some courage. They can't ask for a job in a place like Shaanxi Road, so why did they fall into this place?"

Xu Ping shook his head: "The heart is higher than the sky, and it means the sky and the earth. It's useless to do it. I've inquired. After the two men failed the second year of Tiansheng, they wandered around the northwest border states and visited many border generals. They were so stunning. Just before leaving the Song realm, they hired a few strong men and dragged a huge stone road to walk. The stone wrote some sensational poems, and the three of them followed and cried, meaning that no one in the world knew the heroes. The general guarding the border was really frightened by them and asked the three of them. They were confused and did not dare to use them. Zhang Yuan and Wu Jiuxia were not angry, so they left the Song realm and defected to Dangxiang. However, Yao Sizong still remembered that he was a Han man and did not follow him. Now he was recruited into the shogunate in the border area."

Sang Yi laughed when he heard this: "I was in Zhongmu back then, although these two people were in a state of dismay, they were shocking."

After hearing the two people talking lively, Shi Yannian said, "When Yun Xing was in Zhongmu, I often went to your village. Why didn't I hear about this? It turns out that you had met these two people at that time."

It is not easy to make Shi Yannian and Pang Ji, who were sitting together, embarrassed, so Xu Ping said what happened that year, and of course he omitted the plot of dealing with Ma Jiliang's family. More than ten years have passed, and according to the law, it has passed the retrospective period. Moreover, for people with status like Xu Ping and Sang Yi, it is just an interesting thing when they were young, and no one will pursue whether it was legal or not.

There were still many young gentry in the early and mid-Song Dynasty. There were still many young raids who had used swords to kill people. The things Xu Ping and Sang Yi did back then were nothing compared to Zhang Yong and others, and they also had an added bonus to their border skills.

Because he came from the sea, Sang Yi took a lot less time to lead his army to the capital than Xu Ping at that time. He arrived a few days ago. A total of 2,800 people were selected from the tens of thousands of xiang troops and village soldiers from Yongliang Road, divided into two armies, one commanded cavalry and two commanded infantry. As the organization of the xiang, Sang Yi was the commander and subordinated to the front office of the hall. Zhao Zhen personally gave the military name and used Xuanwei, which was cancelled in the previous two years to demonstrate his achievements in defeating Jiaozhi. He also symbolically selected a commander from Jiaozhi, who was basically the sons of the princes and nobles of Jiaozhi, and was given the military name Guiming Jiaozhi, and was also under the front office of the hall, forming an army alone, indicating the conquest of Jiaozhi.

Such a border army arrived in the capital, and there were many rituals. Privy Councilor Zhang Shixun gave the military name on behalf of the court. Zhao Zhen personally inspected it and worked hard for nearly half a month. Until today, he had no time to get free, and Xu Ping brought the old people in Yongzhou to gather together.

When Xu Ping talked about the old things back then, Pang Ji realized that Shi Yannian, Sang Yi and Xu Ping had known each other for a long time, and they had dealt with Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao who had recently joined Dangxiang. He couldn't help but say: "Recently, Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao defected to Yuan Hao, and the ministers in the court were talking about it. Yuan Hao favored these two people with high positions and lured Song Chen, and they all thought that it would be a big disaster in the future. What do you think of these two people? Will they become the court's confidant in the future?"

Xu Ping said: "It is not worthy of being too much. For Dangxiang, there are not many of them, but less of them. What is really worrying about is not these two people, but Yuan Hao was proclaiming at this time and had some thoughts. Since Zhao Deming, there are countless people who have left the Song Dynasty to join Dangxiang. This is human nature. With the greatness of China, there are always people who disregard integrity and shame for fame and fortune. In the past, Dangxiang always asked these people to hide their names, for fear of causing disputes with the court. This time, Zhao Yuanhao turned against his previous practices. Not only did he not hide it, but he also made a lot of publicity. Doesn't it mean that his unjust intentions can no longer be suppressed?"

Pang Ji was stunned: "The counsel said that Dangxiang would rebel?"

"This is already an obvious thing for the lice on the bald man's head. With all kinds of excuses, the Song Dynasty did not require the reign of the Song Dynasty, and the system was changed for no reason and the reward was made. Dangxiang only did not openly rebel. Now there is Zhang and Wu's incident, I am afraid that the rebellion will last for a year or two."
