A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Good things don't come out, but news of promotion and wealth are not included.

Tang Ren, the director of the privy room of the Privy Council, became prosperous.

This guy learned Shen An's mental arithmetic skills, and then he showed off his power when reviewing Honglu Temple's account books. He caught a corrupt guy with just one glance.

What a meritorious service!

It is said that the official laughed so hard that his eyes were gone, and then he repeatedly said that he wanted to be promoted, and then he was promoted.

What an honor this is!

Along with Tang Ren's tears, the painful torment of regret in the intestines was everywhere in the capital.

The officials who quit the class after hearing that it was Shen An's coachman were already vomiting blood.

Those officials who did not sign up were already suffering and felt that they had lost a great opportunity for promotion.

It was in these emotions that Tang Ren walked into the door of the Shen family.

"Who are you looking for?"

Yao Lian asked normally.

A sense of intimacy made Tang Ren couldn't help but say: "Tang Ren wants to see you and wait for an edict."

"Wait."

Huahua ran over and stared at Tang Ren warily.

The early summer wind swept through the courtyard, making people feel cool, and Guoguo ran out with the coolness.

"Huahua..."

When she saw a stranger, she tilted her head and looked at him, curiously asking: "Who are you?"

The little girl's face was so red that one could only think of one word.

Full of life!

Tang Ren gradually became excited and said, "Tang Ren."

"Tang Ren?"

Guoguo summoned Huahua to her side, and then said proudly: "Are you here to beg your brother?"

If an adult says this, it is humiliating.

But when these words came out of Guoguo's mouth, Tang Ren only felt cute.

He nodded, and Guoguo took Huahua and ran to the backyard.

"elder brother……"

Shen An came out.

"What are you doing?"

Shen An walked over with a smile.

"Awaiting the edict..."

Tang Ren instantly thought of the days since he entered officialdom until now, and all kinds of grievances came rushing in.

Without you, I wouldn't have the chance I have today!

"Hey hey hey!"

Shen An stepped forward quickly, grabbed Tang Ren who was about to kneel down, and said, "Is this... causing trouble? Why kneel down? If you have anything to say, just say it."

Listening to these kind and casual words, Tang Ren couldn't help but burst into tears.

Shen An looked at him crying with a dark look on his face.

"Why is an old man crying?"

After Tang Ren finally vented his emotions, he choked and said: "Waiting for the imperial edict, the news just came, your majesty said it personally, asking the subordinate to take over as deputy emperor..."

"If I hadn't been waiting for the imperial edict, how could I have been here today? I swear, I will be the one waiting for the imperial edict from now on..."

But I only like women, not men!

What this guy said made Shen An laugh: "This is a good thing! Go home quickly and make a delicious meal for the whole family to celebrate."

After seeing off Tang Ren who was grateful and crying, Zhuang Zhen said: "Mr. Lang, this is help and should not be rejected."

Tang Ren took over as Deputy Chengzhi, which was regarded as officially embarking on the official career. He took the initiative to express his gratitude, and Shen An should take the opportunity to win over this person.

"It's too early to get these."

Shen An's foundation is not strong now, so it is too early to do this.

And even if he didn't express his position, Tang Ren couldn't run away.

Because his body has been marked with the word "Shen".

Therefore, officials cannot just stand in line casually. If they stand in the wrong place, they will become slaves with the second surname if they want to come back.

Those who say that a certain official will side with this big boss today and the other big guy will side with him tomorrow are mostly bragging.

At that time, a certain boss who claimed to be able to dance on three eggs later became unable to stand, and was beaten by the eggs until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

Gain the benefit and hide your actions.

This is what Shen An wants to do now.

So he was very proud.

Until the news of Bao Zheng's impeachment came.

"Those people said that Bao Zheng first took down Zhang Fangping and then Song Qi, just because he wanted to serve as the third envoy."

Zhao Zhongzhen brought the latest gossip, which was very hot.

Shen An felt that there might be some misunderstanding about this matter.

"Um... wasn't it Zhang Fangping who started the quarrel with me first?"

It was Zhang Fangping who impeached Shen An first, and then the abuse of power for personal gain was exposed.

How can you say it's Bao Zheng?

Zhao Zhongzhen said helplessly: "Bao Zheng is the most hated and impeached. Moreover, he is the censor Zhongcheng. The censorship platform played a big role in these two incidents. This must be Bao Zheng's matter."

Bao Zheng scolded Zhang Fangping for being shameless at that time, which was quite fierce.

"Bao Zheng was also at the forefront of the Song Qi case, and his words were the most intense..."

Shen An somehow remembered Bao Zheng's words at that time.

If I go, you should go and see Bao Shou often.

The two brothers of the Song family were prime ministers at the time, so it was risky for Lao Bao to impeach Song Qi.

Once he was counterattacked, he might be packed up and driven to a remote place to become an official. With Bao Zheng's health, he might not be able to survive two years.

This is a bit embarrassing!

"Afraid of shit!"

Shen An felt that this level of impeachment could not shake Lao Bao, so he put it behind him, and then talked about some mental calculations with Zhao Zhongzhen.

"Weng Weng said that everyone in the county and prince's palace has to study and take exams. Those uncles don't know whether to laugh or cry."

It feels awkward to have to study for exams at such an advanced age, and with my nephews and nephews...

Shen An doesn't want to study. Really, Lao Bao asked him to 're-study' Confucian classics a while ago. He bought all the books and sent them to him, along with Bao Zheng's own study notes. If this thing is kept in future generations , at least you can exchange it for a large villa with sea view.

Ouyang Xiu also asked people to send his annotations on some textbooks, so that Shen An could study when he had time.

The heart of fist!

Shen An threw away the book and went to meet Duke Zhou in his dream.

While he was sleeping, news came from the palace.

"Langjun! The official family has ordered Mr. Bao to be the envoy of the third division."

Damn it!

Shen An's sleepiness was all eliminated.

"What does the official mean by this? To ridicule Bao Gong? I'm afraid that's not possible."

Does that mean Lao Bao is lucky?

Shen An was a little proud.

It's a good thing that Lao Bao is the prime minister!

But Bao Zheng refused, very firmly.

Zhao Zhen in the palace had received many memorials, and he said to Fu Bi: "This matter is a bit strange."

Fu Bi nodded: "Your Majesty, why don't Bao Zheng stay still?"

This is a sound suggestion, a suggestion to avoid the expansion of conflicts.

But Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "Originally, I never thought about letting Bao Zheng take over, but since they mentioned it, I really think it's appropriate."

The prime ministers and assistants were all dumbfounded. The co-author did not originally want Bao Zheng to take over as the third commander-in-chief!

The news will make those who want to impeach vomit blood.

Zeng Gongliang felt that it would be better to talk less about this topic, so he came out and said: "Your Majesty, the people from the Imperial College have suggestions on whether mental arithmetic can be taught in the Imperial College."

Fu Bi praised: "If the students in the Imperial Academy learn mental arithmetic first, they will save a lot of things when they become officials in the future."

He thought of his experience as an official and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, when I first became an official, the account books were the most troublesome thing for me, but I had to read them, and if I didn't know arithmetic, I had to be careful about being deceived by the officials below. Well, if the Imperial College can learn it in advance, it will be a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people."

Zeng Gongliang said with some emotion: "Yes! Those officials below are slippery. If they are not good at arithmetic, then you have to believe whatever they say."

"Isn't this a confused official?"

Zhao Zhen asked suddenly.

Fu Bi sighed: "Exactly, there have been a lot of confused officials in recent years! They don't understand anything, and they spend their days doing nothing but doing nothing. In fact, they are just messing around."

During the Qingli New Deal, Fan Zhongyan got rid of many officials who ruled by doing nothing, but not long after, the entire Song Dynasty started on the original path again.

Zhao Zhen muttered: "It's a matter of confidentiality...that's all. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it secret for long! Let's wait until tomorrow to call Shen An into the palace to ask."

This mental arithmetic skill is Shen An's private knowledge. If you want to spread it, you have to ask the inventor.

Fu Bi smiled and said: "I'm afraid Shen An won't be happy with this. After all, he can recruit disciples and become famous all over the world. It can be called an heirloom of the Shen family!"

The art of mental arithmetic definitely goes beyond these additions and subtractions, and both the emperor and his ministers had some guesses about this.

This is an heirloom skill of the Shen family. If Shen An doesn't want it, then no one can comment and can only understand.

Moreover, Shen An has already taken the initiative to teach it to the Privy Council and the Third Division, which can be called selfless. Asking for this again is a bit excessive.

Zeng Gongliang thought for a while and said: "If you ask directly, it would be a bit of a coercion... How about I go to Shen's house for a drink?"

It's better to ask in private, where both parties can have some leeway.

Zhao Zhen nodded, feeling a little shameless.

…

In the Imperial Academy, Guo Qian, who was offering wine, said with a tangled look on his face: "At first I said that the Imperial Academy's temple was too small to allow him to sit down and wait for the imperial edict, but the mental arithmetic technique is so mysterious. If the students of our Imperial Academy learned it, they would not be able to take the exam in the future. If you are a Jinshi, you will get twice the result with half the effort if you go out to become an official. Hey! For the sake of the Imperial College, if I lose my face, just lose it."

Siye Chen Ben, who was standing next to him, said calmly: "This matter is of great benefit to the public. Your actions in offering wine are perfect, and I admire you. There is just one thing... Will Shen An be willing?"

Your words offended Shen An terribly, so what if he doesn't want to? Who can say he is wrong?

Guo Qian stretched out his hand to smooth his long beard, and said with firm eyes: "It was my fault in the first place. I will beg him for this matter. If he refuses, I will stand guard outside his house. Remember to ask my family to send me a quilt." go."

Guo Qian went all the way to Yulin Lane and asked where he found the Shen family.

After opening the door, Guo Qian reported his origin and was led to a side hall to sit down.

Shen An came later.

"I've seen sacrificial wine."

This is his nominal Shangguan, but if Shen An doesn't go to the Yamen, he will naturally be a fake Shangguan.

Guo Qian also knew this, so he did not show Shangguan's score, but stood up and bowed to the ground.

What does it mean?

Lao Guo is very old. Although Shen An is not interested in him, she cannot accept this gift.

He stayed aside, and after Guo Qian stood up straight, he asked, "Why are you offering wine?"

The position of Jiu Jiu in the Imperial College is not often given to people, but Guo Qian can sit firmly, which shows that he has a lot of skills. Such a person actually bows to himself. This is either adultery or theft!

Alarm bells rang in Shen An's heart, but Guo Qian said with shame, "I made false claims at the beginning, but I wronged you. I'm here to apologize today."

Huh!

Shen An couldn't help but feel curious.

When Shen An got the official position of Imperial Storyteller, he was very embarrassed for a while. Although he knew it was a bit regretful that he couldn't teach, he was still very happy to have the title.

Imperial College Storytelling, this is like being a professor in the number one university in later generations, and you don't have to go to work.

When he goes out to brag about picking up girls, he will always say: "I am a professor at such-and-such university."

That piece of shit...has soared directly!

But Guo Qian's words made him a little angry. UU read books www.uukaｎshu.net

Am I the troublemaker? So unpopular?

However, these emotions gradually dissipated. If it hadn't been for Guo Qian's visit today, Shen An probably wouldn't have remembered it.

This old man was very arrogant at first!

But now he became humble again and even bowed to the ground to apologize.

Shen An is not a very generous person, so at this moment his heart is cheering and he is extremely happy.

The grievances I felt at the beginning have now paid off, and it is the hardest thing to do to apologize in person.

Shen An felt that he had gotten his money back, but he knew that this was just foreplay, and Lao Guo must be asking for help.

This is exactly what it means to be courteous for nothing, and to commit adultery or theft.
