A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Xiu Siju may sound inconspicuous, but this person is a close minister. His duty is to record the words and deeds of the emperor. Those who are not favored by the emperor cannot do this.

So Tang Ren got excited immediately.

"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"

The corner of Han Qi's mouth twitched, and he looked at each other with several prime ministers and assistants. They all felt that this Xiu Si Zhu was an unworthy person.

When practicing notes on daily life, one must truthfully record the words and deeds of the emperor. If it is only written down, it would be dereliction of duty.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Duke Zhuang of Qi liked to seduce other people's wives, and he liked the exciting feeling very much. One day, he seduced Cui Zhu, an important minister under his command. This is where the cuckold allusion comes from.

Cui Zhu found out that his cuckoldry had been given to someone else by Duke Zhuang of Qi. He immediately became suspicious. When he got home, he punished the shameless daughter-in-law. When he got the news that he had been cuckolded, he was furious, so he pretended to go out and let his wife Continue to seduce Duke Qi Zhuang.

Duke Zhuang of Qi came naturally and sang a song with Cui Zhu's daughter-in-law. However, he was ambushed by Cui Zhu and hacked to death on the spot.

If this matter comes to this point, it can be said that a man is angry and becomes a beauty, and Cui Zhu is considered a good man.

But the historian classified this matter as regicide...

Cui Zhu killed his king!

I wipe it!

Isn't this inappropriate?

Cui Zhu, who held great power, was furious and killed a historian. The historian's younger brother took over. Faced with Cui Zhu's murderous intention, he wrote five words without hesitation: Cui Zhu killed his king!

kill!

The second child was killed.

The third child came next. Facing the butcher's knife, he didn't even frown. He picked up his pen and wrote five words.

Cui Zhu killed his king!

Damn it!

Kill him!

The third child died generously.

The fourth child is here.

Your three brothers were killed by me, are you obedient? If you are obedient, high-ranking officials will be rewarded with generous salaries, but if you are disobedient... will you eat the pan-sword noodles?

The fourth child lowered his head, still saying five words.

Cui Zhu killed his king!

Cui Zhu was dumbfounded. The sword in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds and he could not swing it down.

If people are not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of death?

At this moment, a historian came from the south with bamboo slips.

——I am going to take over this post after the fourth son of the Great Historian is killed.

For what?

Just for those five words!

Cui Zhu killed his king!

Not a word is easy!

This is the succession of historians!

When future generations see this place, they can't help but feel excited, but when Han Qi and others see Tang Ren, they can't help but feel pain in their heads.

For such a flattering person to serve as a scholar, the Grand Historian of all dynasties would be so angry that he would climb out of the coffin and strangle him to death with his own hands.

Zhao Shu felt very good and said, "You just returned to Bianliang and had a good rest for a few days."

This was a holiday for repairs. Tang Ren thanked him and then resigned.

After he went out, Han Qi said: "Guangnan West Road has been doing well in the past two years. Taxes have increased a lot, and businessmen are also willing to go there. I asked about it and said that the road has been under construction there and the road is smooth. A lot of people go.”

Zhao Shu nodded and said: "Shen An said that the road is like the blood of the Song Dynasty. If the blood is not smooth, it will naturally be full of diseases. I deeply agree."

Zeng Gongliang felt that Han Qi always reported good news but not bad news, so he came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Guangnan West Road side said that there were many casualties among Jiaozhi prisoners and there was not enough manpower to build the road."

Um?

Zhao Shu frowned and said, "Why are there fewer?"

Prisoners of war were a rarity for the Song Dynasty before, but they fought several battles with Jiaozhi and captured tens of thousands of Jiaozhi people. These people are now building roads on Guangnan West Road and have made outstanding contributions to the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

These prisoners of war are important assets of the Song Dynasty. Now you actually tell me that these assets have been severely damaged.

Zhao Shu was angry.

Zeng Gongliang said: "Guangnan West Road has many mountains and rivers, and it is difficult to build the road. Most of these people died of injuries and illnesses."

Zhao Shu's face softened slightly and he said: "You treat those Jiaozhi people so well."

The people in the Central Plains are unwilling to go to the southwest. If they are forced to go there to build roads, they will probably rebel halfway there.

So Cochin prisoners are good!

At this moment, Zhao Shu looked to the southwest with some depression.

Li Rizun, why don't you raise an army to attack the Song Dynasty?

Not only did he think so, but so did the ministers.

A few years ago, Jiaozhi was a big trouble in the Song Dynasty. When mentioning Jiaozhi, the emperors and ministers all had headaches. But now things have changed. Jiaozhi is like a piece of fat, deeply attracting the attention of the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty.

Han Qi said regretfully: "It would be great if we could capture tens of thousands more Jiaozhi people."

Why!

Han Qi is still too impulsive!

You can think about these things, you can hint at them, but you can't say them explicitly, otherwise the reputation of the Song Dynasty as a country of etiquette will be lost.

Zhao Shu frowned and said: "The Song Dynasty was founded on benevolence and righteousness. We should not rely on this."

"Yes! The Song Dynasty is a country of benevolence and righteousness."

All the ministers agreed. After leaving, Bao Zheng said, "It's not easy!"

"yes!"

Han Qi was very dissatisfied and said: "We should not have ceased war with Jiaozhi in the first place. At least we will arrest tens of thousands more people."

Everyone nodded, not a trace of the benevolence, righteousness, and morality they had just spoken about.

A gentleman cannot enter the political hall.

When a gentleman holds an important position in a country, it is the beginning of disaster for the country.

…

In the palace, Zhao Shu and Gao Taotao, who were in good spirits, were drinking tea.

"I didn't like Tang Ren when he looked a little flattering, so he went to Guangnan West Road. I didn't regret it, but I didn't expect that this person was capable and down-to-earth. It can be seen that many times he not only has to listen to others What you say is more important than what you do, otherwise you will be doing injustice to a good minister."

If Tang Ren knew that he had been vindicated by Zhao Shu, he would probably jump with excitement.

Gao Taotao asked curiously: "What did he do that made you praise him so much?"

"He appeased the natives on Guangnan West Road and led them down the mountain to farm. They were no longer a problem for the Song Dynasty. This contribution is not small!"

Zhao Shu felt very comfortable and said with a smile: "Then Tang Renchen's concubine is from Shen An, right?"

"Yes." Zhao Shu praised: "Everyone forms cliques, but Shen An is one of those people. Tang Ren used to be unnoticed in the Privy Council because he was recognized by Shen An. Now that Tang Ren can stand alone, it shows that Shen An's ability to train people is not bad. Small."

Gao Taotao smiled and said: "You said that you never walk alone in officialdom. If you walk alone, sooner or later your bones will be eaten away, so it is not surprising to form a party."

"Yes!" Zhao Shu lamented: "I used to think that it was scary for the ministers to form cliques, but then I thought about it, if the ministers don't form cliques, how will they do things? Everyone has selfish motives, and if they have selfish motives, they will form cliques. If you blindly demand that officials have high moral character due to your own selfish efforts, it will be a waste of time."

"What about those natives?" In Gao Taotao's imagination, the natives should be fierce, even more vicious than Zhaojun.

Feiyan and Zhaojun were standing outside the door. Feiyan was taking a nap and snoring a little.

The flesh on Zhaojun's face trembled, and then he reached out and pinched Feiyan's waist.

"Why……"

"shut up!"

Feiyan felt severe pain in her waist, and when she opened her eyes, she wanted to scream, but she remembered that the saint was beside Guanjia.

"Why pinch me?"

Feiyan felt that her waist was bruised and swollen.

Zhaojun said coldly: "Your snoring can be heard outside the Imperial City. I want to die!"

Feiyan couldn't help but feel scared and whispered: "Thank you very much. I'll treat you to a drink later."

Zhao Shu was not a benevolent emperor. They were the people around Gao Taotao, so they were somewhat tolerant.

Look at Chen Zhongheng. He has a sleepy look on his face. He wishes he could hold his eyelids up with firewood, but he doesn't dare to close his eyes.

Feiyan sighed and whispered: "Everything about the official family is good, but it's a bit harsh."

The sharp-tongued Zhao Shu can only relax when his wife is here.

Gao Taotao massaged his head and talked about his daughters.

"It's still early."

Zhao Shu closed his eyes, feeling relaxed all over, and said with great enjoyment: "We don't want to marry young in our family. We should look around more and make a decision after the age of twenty."

Gao Taotao didn't want his daughters to marry early. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "The officials are wise."

"What a wise man." Zhao Shu smiled and told Huang Da that he wanted to recognize him as his father, and bent down with a high smile.

"Ouch! How old is that man...how old is that man?"

"A little older than me."

Gao Taotao stood up holding his stomach, "Is he talking unscrupulously? You can't admit it, otherwise there will be endless trouble."

Zhao Shu nodded, "But I can't categorically reject this matter..."

"Let Shen An go."

Gao Taotao said without hesitation: "He is the best at coaxing people. I think he could coax Huang Da into becoming a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty."

"rational!"

So the order was issued, and Tang Ren, who had just returned home to rest, was overjoyed.

His wife Chang said displeasedly: "You are just about to go home and take a bath. You haven't even had a peaceful meal yet. Why have I assigned you this task? Is there no one in the court?"

The daughter nodded fiercely at the side. Tang Ren smiled and touched the top of her head and said, "What do you know? It's not that there is no one in the court, but those people... Do you know who my husband was when he failed in the Privy Council?" To make your husband stand out?"

"It's Duke Shen, but..." Mrs. Chang said with a wry smile: "He cultivated you, but he let you travel around the north and south. In the past few years, you were in Fuzhou, and in the past few years, you went to the southwest."

"A woman's view!"

Tang Ren stood up and said, "My husband originally only knew how to flatter me, how could he know the principles of doing things? No one leads the way! County Duke Shen not only led the way for my husband, but also arranged my husband's official career. Otherwise, how would we be able to pay attention to daily life today?" Glory?"

"Xiuzhizhi?"

Tang Ren went to take a shower as soon as he got home. Before he could talk about his new position, he nodded reservedly.

"That's working for an official!" Mrs. Chang said happily: "Official, is this really you?"

"Who is this, if not my husband?" Tang Ren said with black streaks on his head: "My husband has brought a lot of specialties from the southwest. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net You are so happy to pack them up and send them back to the Shen family."

Chang asked: "Where are the others?"

In her opinion, giving gifts in official circles is called casting a wide net, the more the better.

"My husband belongs to Duke Shen." Tang Ren frowned and said, "My husband has been hanging out with Duke Shen all my life, how can I flatter others?"

Mrs. Chang nodded in agreement and watched her husband go out. She couldn't help but smile to her daughter and said, "Auntie, your father is a high official now."

The aunt smiled and said: "Mom, is daddy still going out?"

Chang shook his head, "Your father is serving as a Beijing official this time and will stay in Bianliang in the future."

"good."

"But I would like to thank County Duke Shen for his kindness to our family. Auntie, let's go and pack some good things and send them to the Shen family later."
