A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

/

Sun Yong arrived at the Shen family all the way. While waiting for Shen An to come out, he took a look at the layout of the Shen family.

The reception area doesn't look big, but it's really not that big.

There were several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. Sun Yong glanced at them and found that they were all made by famous artists.

On the incense burner in the corner, the smoke is faint and the fragrance is elegant.

Those seats and tables looked very simple, just painted with varnish, like the furnishings of a mountain home.

The room was so quiet that one's mind went blank.

This is an excellent place to study!

Sun Yong only felt that the spiritual platform was clear and his overall condition was very good. He couldn't help but praise: "He is indeed a master."

He didn't know that Shen An had been to White Horse Temple in his previous life. At that time, he had been suffering from anxiety for several years and was in terrible pain. After entering the White Horse Temple, I didn't feel clear in my heart. Until I accidentally saw a Zhiyu Tea House. After entering, the furnishings were simple, but the environment made Shen An calm down.

After years of restlessness, once he found peace, Shen An couldn't help but squint and enjoy it.

For him, this peace is enjoyment.

So after arriving here, he habitually had the place for entertaining guests arranged like this. It's just that there are too many calligraphy and paintings, and there's nothing we can do about it, otherwise it wouldn't be entertaining guests.

When Shen An came, he frowned slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Sun Shidu came to my humble residence. What do you want to teach me?"

Sun Yong stood up and held his hands, "I went to see the officials before, but the officials did not punish me."

I guessed it right!

Shen An said calmly: "It's as expected."

He is indeed an expert!

Sun Yong admired him in his heart and said: "Jungong Shen is very wise. I used to be quite disdainful and disrespectful, but Jungong Shen laughed it off. At that time, I thought that Jungong Shen had a guilty conscience. Only now did I realize that it turned out to be magnanimous and respectful. It’s just that I have common knowledge with you. It’s ridiculous that you don’t know it yet. You think you are proud of it and feel ashamed.”

Well!

Shen An felt a little confused.

He really doesn’t know what it means to be disdainful!

"It's nothing, it's too much praise."

"You are so humble."

"There's really no such thing."

"You..." Sun Yong was moved, "Are you worried that I will be depressed, so you are so humble? I..."

There were tears in his eyes, and Shen An had no choice but to nod and say: "That's it, it's just a small matter."

But the word magnanimity really has nothing to do with him!

As for Sun Yong's disrespect, he really didn't notice it. If he knew about it, he would probably try to trick Zhao Xu into giving him a medicine or something.

Why!

This person is so talented and morally advanced that everyone thinks he is a good person.

In this way, you will be a good person in the future.

"He hasn't asked for advice yet, why don't the officials punish him?"

After saying that, Sun Yong saw Shen An deep in thought and bowed, "I'm presumptuous, I'm ashamed, I'll take my leave now."

This issue involves the official family. He feels that he and Shen An have no such friendship, so Shen An should not mention the official family topic to him, so as not to violate taboos.

"What?"

Shen An said in astonishment: "I was just thinking about the article you wrote in March, every word is so precious!"

"real?"

Sun Yong now regarded Shen An as a master and a wise master, so he was overjoyed to receive this compliment.

"certainly."

Shen An recited the beginning of the article without hesitation, and Sun Yong suddenly felt that he could still save it.

"Good job!"

Seeing him shed tears of gratitude, Shen An's eyes filled with tears, and she couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up secretly.

At that time, Sun Yong was too harsh on Zhao Xu. Shen An read his article hoping to find a loophole to criticize, but in the end, he couldn't find the little ink he had and almost died of depression.

But the depression at that time has become a tool to win people's hearts at this moment. This is unintentional planting of willows and willows!

Sun Yong said goodbye. As soon as he walked to the door, Shen An said, "Hey! What did you ask before?"

Sun Yong turned around and said, "Previously, someone asked the officials why they didn't punish someone."

"you come back."

Shen An waved, and Sun Yong said movedly: "Mr. Shen, I'm afraid this question is inconvenient. I am presumptuous."

Shen An said calmly: "I know you are an honest person. Besides, I do things openly and there is nothing to avoid."

In an instant, Shen An became much taller in Sun Yong's eyes.

"The official and the king are father and son. The official may seem strict, but he is tender inside. If you are loyal to the king and your original intention is for the good of the king, the official will not punish you no matter how angry he is."

Shen An walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "Although that person is an emperor, he is also a father. Due to the nature of father and son, the officials will naturally be open to you and others."

Sun Yong was shocked, and immediately raised his head and asked: "But the emperors of ancient and modern times are afraid of him!"

Most emperors in ancient and modern times were afraid of their sons, and the longer they lived, the more afraid they became.

Shen An smiled and said seriously: "The official family is not an ordinary emperor."

Sun Yong bowed, "I would like to be taught."

Seeing the admiration on his face, Shen An couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Does this mean one more admirer?

But there are too many people, and I can’t take care of them!

He finally said: "Whenever a prince is established early, he is actively severing the family relationship between father and son. Why do you want to force the officials to do this?"

Sun Yong entered the palace all the way and asked Zhao Shu again.

Zhao Shu was drinking and shook his head when he heard this.

…

In the political hall, Han Qi looked at the piles of memorials and said with a headache: "If officials don't go to court, it's not a big deal for these things to pile up!"

Many things required Zhao Shu's approval, but Zhao Shu didn't even want to read the memorial for the past two days, and Han Qi and the others didn't dare to overstep their authority, so they delayed it.

Bao Zheng frowned and said, "Why don't you go and see me again?"

Han Qi shook his head: "If you don't want to see the official's temperament, it will be useless."

"My dear gentlemen, Sun Yong has gone to seek an audience with the officials again."

"Sun Yong?" Han Qi said with murderous intent: "It was after this guy's memorial entered the palace that the official family stopped courting. Although I have never seen the memorial, I know that it probably mentioned the official father and son... "

He looked at everyone and sneered: "What can happen about the prince that can make the officials frustrated? The only thing is about the canonization of the crown prince. Then Sun Yong presented the canonization of the crown prince. The officials must have felt that there was the king's approval in this matter. This It’s sad.”

Bao Zheng nodded, "I think this should be the case, or... let the king see you again. After all, the person who untied the bell needs to tie it!"

Han Qi sighed: "This is the only way. I should go to Qingning Palace."

Later he went to find Zhao Xu and said, "Your Majesty, the official family is sad."

Zhao Xu smiled bitterly and said: "I wish I could kneel in front of the official and admit my mistake, but I really didn't instruct Sun Yong and the others to submit a memorial!"

Once he admits his mistake in this matter, it will be troublesome. Zhao Shu will think that he was the one who instigated it. When the father and son become suspicious, there will be no way to end it.

Therefore, establishing a prince has always been a big deal, and it is best to be proposed by important ministers, so that there is room for maneuver even if something goes wrong.

Just like Han Qi repeatedly proposed to the late emperor to appoint Zhao Shu as the prince, although Zhao Zhen was angry, he was not suspicious.

Because the prime minister will be replaced after only a few years, it is unlikely that they will take the opportunity to become a powerful minister.

And Sun Yong, an attendant, dared to suggest that he should be crowned a prince, which makes people think a lot!

Han Qi said: "Try again!"

"good!"

Zhao Xu went to see him again.

"Where's Sun Yong?"

When he got there but didn't see Sun Yong, Zhao Xu felt a little strange.

"Your Majesty, Shi Sun has read in."

"The officials met him"

…

"I've met the officials."

After Sun Yong saluted, Zhao Shu said calmly: "What are you doing here?"

Just now, Chen Zhongheng risked his life to persuade him, and Zhao Shu agreed to see him.

Sun Yong knelt down and said, "I'm an official, I'm presumptuous."

Zhao Shu snorted coldly.

"The official is the emperor, and the dignity of the emperor cannot be violated."

This is the core of the problem.

No matter what, no one can offend the emperor's dignity, even Gao Taotao knows what's appropriate.

"I don't know how high the sky is, I always felt that it was time to appoint the crown prince, but I never thought that this matter would be an offense to the official family, but the official family did not punish me, I... I felt deeply, but I couldn't No punishment.”

He raised his head and slammed it down.

Zhao Shu watched with cold eyes, feeling that this was an act.

Boom!

Sun Yong hit his head on the ground, and when he looked up again, his forehead gradually swelled, and then blood flowed down, which looked particularly terrifying.

This force is enough to kill oneself!

Zhao Shu looked moved, "Get the imperial doctor quickly!"

"I...are guilty!"

Boom!

Sun Yong fell down.

"Go quickly!"

Suspiciousness is the twin brother of the emperor, but in the face of human life, Zhao Shu's suspicion disappeared.

The imperial doctor came, and after some diagnosis and treatment, he said, "Guan, I'm afraid it will take a while, and maybe something will go wrong."

"Hey! Why bother!"

Zhao Shu got up and walked over, just as Sun Yong woke up, he said: "The official, I...I am confused."

Zhao Shu sighed and said, "I know this."

This means the weather has cleared up after the rain.

Sun Yong was happy in his heart. Zhao Shu felt that this person was a promising person. "It's a good thing that you can wake up. Do it well."

The emperor never dislikes having too many talents, so he has the idea of ​​​​pocketing.

Sun Yong said excitedly: "I thought I was right at first, but after hearing what Duke Shen said, I realized that I was totally wrong!"

"Shen An?"

Zhao Shu's doubts arose again, and he asked calmly: "What did he say?"

In his opinion, if there was a conflict between him and Zhao Xu, Shen An would definitely side with his son. So what can Shen An say?
