A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Bianliang, Beijing.

Deep in the palace.

"The northwest army captured Lingzhou in the first battle, and the Liang family sadly retreated..."

"The rich prime minister was stubbornly defending Xiongzhou and when Xiongzhou was about to fall, the officials ordered all the border fortresses to send troops to attack the Liao Kingdom. All the elites from Hejian Prefecture were sent out, and all the elites from Daming Prefecture were sent out. What do the officials mean?"

Empress Dowager Cao's thick eyebrows raised, "The officials are looking for a decisive battle with Yelu Hongji!"

“What a spirit!”

Empress Dowager Cao raised her head and sighed, "Zhe Jizu and Zhong'e are bold, Shen An's troops are like lightning, and his attacks are sharp. No one in Xixia can stop him. At this time when the fortune of the Song Dynasty is booming, great!"

Ren Shouzhong said with a flattering smile: "My dear, my uncle is also the first to land on the city in this battle."

Empress Dowager Cao said with satisfaction: "This is what the Cao family should be like... Our ancestors all achieved their merits with one sword and one gun. It doesn't matter if he just sits back and enjoys the success, but he can't harm the country. Only by fighting in person can you know how much you weigh." A few liang, knowing what you can do and what you can’t do.”

"Empress!"

A female official came in and reported: "Mother, the official family is returning to Beijing tomorrow. The people in Bianliang City are going crazy with joy."

"Is the official going back to Beijing?"

Empress Dowager Cao sneered: "When the officials led the army to Daming Mansion, how many people were talking behind their backs about the foolish king? Where are those people now?"

…

"The official will return to Beijing tomorrow."

In a house in Bianliang, more than ten people were drinking. However, the atmosphere was very solemn, and it looked more like they were drinking alcohol.

The middle-aged man sitting at the top said coldly: "This battle is a great victory over Xixia, and we have captured half of Xixia's lush country. The official family's prestige is even higher."

"That foolish king..." The young man, who was sitting crookedly on the bench, raised his glass and spoke.

"Silence!" The middle-aged man glanced at him, "Be careful of the people from the Imperial City Department."

"After the great victory, the people in the Imperial City Department were like rats. They all emerged from the ground and were swaggering around to inquire about information. They wanted to find out the crimes against us and ask for credit from the officials. Hey! Please! achievement!"

The middle-aged man took a sip of wine and said, "It's said outside... Shen An conquered Hongzhou in the first battle, and then attacked Youzhou and Yanzhou, as fast as lightning. Later, he even defeated Weizhou of the Left Army. During the siege of Lingzhou, it was also his subordinates who excelled, and now many people say nothing about Shen's military skills and have already worshiped him and regarded him as the number one general in the army."

The young man suddenly laughed, "What are you afraid of? Can't we just use the same method we used to deal with Di Qing to deal with him?"

"idiot!"

Diagonally across from him, a man in his forties put down his wine glass and said disdainfully: "Di Qing is a thief with a military background, so naturally everyone calls for beatings. But Shen An inherited the Mangshan lineage of miscellaneous studies and is known as the master. The questions he came up with The law of the sea is shared by the whole world, you can't use the same method to deal with warriors, do you understand?"

The young man muttered: "What are you afraid of? At worst, if you talk nonsense, there will be many people following him to attack him."

"Unbelievably stupid!"

The middle-aged man said angrily: "Then Shen An has made great achievements in this battle, do you know how many legs it is worth?"

The young man's expression changed and he said, "That's all, let's have a drink."

As soon as he raised his glass, someone outside said, "If you wait for legs like this, he can probably break dozens of them."

"who?"

Everyone looked at the door.

Bang!

The door was kicked open from the outside, and a young man with a shy smile stood outside the door and said, "Who wants to break his leg?"

The young man was furious, "Who are you? Get out!"

The young man with a shy smile said: "My name is Zhang Wulang, don't forget it."

"It's from the Imperial City Department!"

Zhang Wulang waved his hand, and several big men rushed in.

"Kneel down!"

They held sticks in their hands and beat these people to the ground one by one.

Zhang Wulang walked up to the young man and said, "Mr. Shen likes to break the legs of nonsense talkers like you. Do you want me to keep your legs and wait for him to do it, or do you do it now?"

The young man knelt down and said with tears: "The villain just talked nonsense..."

"ah……"

Zhang Wulang lifted his legs and walked out of the room, looked at the frightened servants and said: "The official family will be victorious tomorrow. Anyone who dares to secretly discuss evil things at this time will be punished by the whole family."

"Someone who knows the Imperial City Division, just wait, I won't be able to eat the good fruit of Zhang Wulang!"

The middle-aged man inside was shouting, and Zhang Wulang said: "A certain person once worked as a spy in Zhongjing City of the Liao Kingdom. He almost died there. Fortunately, he was saved by an envoy. The envoy was a student of Duke Shen, so what are you talking about? If you say bad things, I, Zhang Wulang, will naturally take action, no matter what happens afterwards... I don’t care!”

…

The official family made a triumphant return.

Zhao Xu and hundreds of officials greeted him outside the city.

The tall cavalry cleared the way in front, and countless people surrounded Zhao Shu.

"Long live the official family!"

Cheers echoed throughout Bianliang City.

Zhao Shu looked at all this and felt like he was in a dream.

"The people are really happy."

Bao Zheng said with emotion: "Half of the Western Thieves were cut off. This was just a battle. Given time, the Western Thieves tied up their hands and the Song Dynasty devoted all its efforts to the north. The land of Youyan! Sooner or later, we will get it back."

Zeng Gongliang nodded, "I will definitely get it back!"

All the way into the palace, Gao Taotao came with people to greet him.

"Congratulations to the official family."

A blissful body full of joy.

A hundred years after the founding of the Song Dynasty, it suffered one external defeat after another. Only her husband could sweep away the past decline, sweep Xixia in one battle, and even hold up the Liao people.

At this moment, Gao Taotao forgot about his worries and dissuasion when Zhao Shu decided to go to Daming Mansion in person, and was full of joy.

There was a big banquet in the palace that day, and the officials were very drunk.

In the Imperial City Department, Hu Shenian, the Activities Department of the Imperial City, was entertaining guests.

An old man was crying, "Da Lang was just drinking with friends and saying a few words, and then Zhang Wulang and his men beat him in. Now he has arrested Da Lang in..."

Zhang Ba was not the only one in charge of the Imperial City Department, but because of his high martial arts skills and the fact that he was a person trusted by the officials, others could only avoid him.

The highest officer of the Imperial City Division is called the Goudang Imperial City Division, and their number ranges from four or five to more than a dozen people. Among them, the internal servants are all in charge. This is why Zhang’s position in the eighth year was the Goudang Imperial City Division, and others also called him Zhang. The reason for Douzhi... Because Douzhi is the emperor's caring person.

Hu Xinnian was one of them, who worked in the Imperial City Division, but usually he only took care of minor matters and supervised Zhang for eight years.

He took a sip of tea and said gently: "This matter is easy, but..."

The man in front of him was his father's old friend and had some influence.

But what you do must be beneficial, otherwise why should I help you?

This is where the benefits lie.

If you want others to help you, you must have the benefit of being favored by others. Others think that I will need your benefit in the future, so I will help you now. Maybe it will be my turn to ask for help someday. is you.

This is also a kind of human relationship.

If you take action without any benefit at all, that's not because you're being ungrateful, but because you're really a good person.

When facing such a good person, you should not ask him for help every now and then. You should know that the more you ask for, the less you ask for help. You should cherish this kind of person, and you are right to be friends with him.

The old man was sophisticated and knew this truth. He whispered: "I know it is inconvenient to take the money, but I have a shop over there in Jingmingfang. It is not small. Alas! Business is not doing well these days. I am planning to sell it." The shop comes to pay off the debt...If someone is willing to help, then thank God..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Hu Shenian.

Jingmingfang is in the inner city, with the Wuzhang River passing through it. There are many brothels around it, and the business is not good.

The old man said that the business could not continue, which was just an excuse.

Hu Shenian said dullly: "Since you are in a hurry to pay off your debt, I'm afraid the shop won't be sold for the price."

Taking advantage of your illness to kill you is also a tactic in the business world.

The old man cupped his hands and said: "Not to mention the price, the store will be open for one more day. If anyone is willing to take over, I will be grateful."

Hu Xinian nodded, "A certain person is in despair, and his family happens to have some spare money, not much..."

"Enough is enough."

The old man left with a lot of gratitude, as if he had taken a huge advantage.

But the shops in Jingmingfang are considered high-end in Bianliang! Whenever news spreads that there is a shop for sale there, the powerful and businessmen can swamp the shop owners.

This is another kind of bribery.

Hu Shenian went there later, and when he came back, all the people Zhang Wulang had captured were released.

When Zhang Wulang heard the news, he knew that he had contacted Hu Shenian's connections. He had experienced life and death in Zhongjing City and was young and energetic, so he immediately went to talk to Hu Shenian.

"...Those people are talking about officials behind their backs and scolding..."

"shut up!"

Hu Xinian looked at him and said solemnly: "You are talking nonsense. You are telling lies to catch people. Do you dare to fool me here? Get out!"

The first level of official rank is overwhelming. Compared with Zhang Wulang, Hu Shenian is many levels higher.

Zhang Wulang raised his head, his beautiful face full of anger, "Xiaguan heard those words with his own ears..."

"Someone is coming!"

Hu Shenian interrupted him again. After two marriage officials came in from outside, he ordered: "Zhang Wulang despises Shangguan, take him out and punish him thirty times!"

Damn it!

The two marriage officers couldn't help but be stunned.

If thirty sticks were used, Zhang Wulang would probably lose half his life according to the weight of those people in the Imperial City Division!

"Um?"

Hu Xinian frowned slightly, and the deep lines on his forehead looked like the mouth of a tiger. UU Reading www.uukanshu． net

"As you command!"

After being beaten with a stick, Zhang Wulang was unconscious and was carried home.

…

The business of Da Song Bank gradually stabilized, and a new store was opened. Tang Ren personally went to the new store to take charge, and couldn't help but be overjoyed when he looked at the running accounts on the first day.

"Why didn't Houben Gold and Silver Shop follow up?"

Tang Ren stood outside the door of the new store, feeling very melancholy, feeling that life without rivals was too lonely.

"Judge, the Xia brothers are having a hard time nowadays!"

A clerk said: "Those powerful gentry have to make money by depositing money, but our bank took the lead in suppressing interest rates. Once they followed suit, even better businesses would make more money than them, let alone loan sharks." .”

Tang Ren shook his head, "You can't look at it this way. In the long run, the bank is a cornucopia, but the business is unstable."

He warned the people at the new store and then returned to the city.

"Judge!"

As soon as Tang Ren arrived outside Sansi Gate, he met Zhang Wulang's wife.

Zhang Wulang was rescued by Tang Ren in Zhongjing City of Liao Kingdom, and they got married after returning. He was grateful to Tang Ren and sent out a wedding invitation. He invited Tang Ren to the wedding banquet, and the two families got to know each other for the first time.

"What's going on here?"

When Tang Ren saw Zhang Wulang's wife with tears on her face, he dismounted and came over.

"Judge, my official was beaten half to death by Shangguan, and he hasn't woken up yet."

"Huh? Let's go take a look."

Zhang Wulang is a meritorious minister, why should he be punished?

Is Zhang eight years crazy?
