A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

There was silence in the hall.

Han Qi took a peek at Zhao Zhen, but found nothing wrong.

Didn't the officials deliberately embarrass me?

But this problem is really confusing!

He pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, young people are always eager, I think... we need to encourage..."

Han Qi, you are doomed!

Encouragement?

If this word spreads, you will definitely be labeled as a reformist.

Old Han, you are going to be finished.

Even Shen An looked at Han Qi with admiration, but this guy said seriously: "Encourage is to encourage, but it is not advisable to do things eagerly. I am old, and the Song Dynasty will have to look after young people like them in the future. But the national affairs are difficult. , but young people are unwilling to understand, I think... it is better to beat them from time to time."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Shen An and thought, do you think this kind of question can stump me?

You think too much!

Han Qi's reaction was very fast and his response was flawless. Both the reformers and conservatives had nothing to say about it.

But Zhao Zhen was sitting on wax.

I asked you to come up with an idea and you just kept talking, but the last sentence didn't work, it was all nonsense!

He looked at the ministers and said: "I... Xixia has bowed its head now, and the Liao people have returned without success. Yelu Hongji likes to hunt all day long, and I don't think there will be any major wars in the next few decades. Dear sirs, this big Song Dynasty is still stable, what do you think?"

This is the emperor's statement.

He didn't want to stir up party strife, let alone plunge the court into chaos.

This attitude was expected by Shen An.

Everyone responded in unison, and then praised a few more words.

After a while, the discussion ended hastily. Zhao Zhen glanced at Shen An and said, "Please put down the matter of stripping horses."

These words contained a warning: Stop making trouble!

But Zhao Zhen was more helpless.

A small matter turned into a major event by Shen An, almost triggering a party dispute.

What if it’s a big deal?

Then I can’t even sit still?

Don’t worry!

He shook his head. After returning to the harem, Queen Cao heard about the commotion in the court today and came to comfort him. She also wanted to know what was going on.

"Shen An proposed to crack down on redundant officials, and those people started making trouble."

Empress Cao was surprised and said: "Does anyone dare to mention this matter? There are so many officials and powerful people in the world, how can we win against them? This is not possible... Fan Wenzheng couldn't stand it back then!"

These words were to cover up Zhao Zhen's shame.

Fan Zhongyan really couldn't stand it back then, but Zhao Zhen wasn't much better, he also softened.

Zhao Zhen was depressed and said: "I also know those problems, but every time I want to move, I feel like I am in a quagmire and can't move! What can I do!"

Queen Cao's family is a powerful family, so she has no position to speak about this.

"Guan family, this matter was caused by horse stripping outside?"

She just asked casually, but it aroused Zhao Zhen's anger.

"I've been calling Zhang for eight years!"

Zhang Baibian came in a hurry, and Zhao Zhen ordered: "Didn't Shen An find out about the corruption of horse-trafficking outsiders? Go, arrest him, and punish him severely!"

…

Cheng Xu had learned about the confrontation outside the imperial city in the morning, and he was finally relieved.

In the duty room, he was sitting on a chair, with two rows of officials standing beside him, looking very majestic.

He held the teacup and asked, "Where is Huangdu?"

One of the clerks laughed and said, "That person didn't come today. He probably knew that his family was going to be ruined, so he didn't want to come and be humiliated."

Someone boasted: "Now that Shen An is surrounded by enemies, how can he care about our place? The supervisor is wise and has seen through him long ago."

"Yes! That person dozed off as soon as he came, and then started gesticulating inexplicably. What a villain!"

Cheng Xu said reservedly: "Who doesn't know about redundant officials? But who is going to bother with this matter? It's just talk, but you even suggest cleaning up. What is this?"

He patted the table and frowned: "This is not knowing the heights of the world! This is moving against the current!"

Most of the people here have nothing to do. According to Shen An, they all have to get out.

So after everyone shared the same hatred for a while, they seemed very comfortable.

Cheng Xu yawned and said with satisfaction: "What did he say... people from the Imperial City Department will come to deal with someone, where is the person? Where is the person?"

He looked left and right, pretending to be panicked and said: "Where are the people from the Imperial City Division? Come, let me open my eyes and see what the people from the Imperial City Division look like..."

"That's a good wish."

A cold voice came from outside. Cheng Xu was stunned at first, and then said angrily: "Which maggot crawling out of a cesspool dares to talk nonsense in a certain place..."

A gust of cold wind blew in, and then a skull face famous in Bianliang officialdom appeared outside the door.

As soon as Cheng Xu loosened his hand, the tea cup fell on his lap and then rolled down.

The teacup was rolling on the ground. Cheng Xu stood up suddenly, trying to smile, but what came out in the end was panic.

"Zhang...Zhang Douzhi..."

Zhang Baba said coldly: "You are not a maggot. According to Shen An, people like you are maggots. The maggots that attach themselves to Da Song and suck blood, come on."

"Everyone knows!"

A group of men with swords rushed in, and Zhang Baba said calmly: "Take them all and bring them back to the Imperial City Division for questioning!"

"Everyone knows, I'm a lowly official..."

When Cheng Xugang pounced on him, a subordinate officer casually slapped him on the shoulder with the back of a knife, and then kicked him down.

Severe pain hit him, Cheng Xu knelt on the ground and shouted: "I am wronged!"

Zhang Baibian turned his eyes and said solemnly: "A small job of stripping horses, almost triggered a big fight in the court. Cheng Xu, how do you want to die?"

He fluttered his sleeves and went out. Cheng Xu slumped on the ground and said desperately, "Xiaguan... That was Shen An's fault. I just embezzled a few hundred dollars!"

He didn't know why a few hundred thousand dollars could trigger such a big event, but when he thought of what Shen An said when he left, he couldn't help but say: "Shen An avenges his private revenge on the public, and he avenges his private revenge on the public!"

…

When Shen An returned to Yulin Lane, he was taken into his home by Zhao Zhongzhen, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"My father is looking for you."

Zhao Zhongzhen looked envious, "I heard they started fighting this morning? If someone is here, he will definitely knock down a few of them. Those people are sanctimonious, but they are also strong on the outside. It will be easy to deal with just a few of them."

This child is really worrying!

Shen An said with a dark look on his face: "A gentleman talks but never moves!"

The weather was getting cold, so Zhao Zongshi met Shen An in the study.

"Do you know what you are doing?"

Zhao Zongshi took a sip of hot tea and asked with a relaxed expression.

Shen An knew what he was asking, "I know."

Zhao Zongshi smiled and said: "You young man...Young men are always full of enthusiasm, and so is Zhong Zhen. Yesterday, I was scolded by someone. But I am right to worry about Da Song. You are fine."

Shen An lowered his head slightly to show humility. He knew it was not over yet.

Sure enough, Zhao Zongshi glanced at his son beside him and said: "You have to do things step by step and take into account all parties. It is refreshing to have your own way, but what are the consequences? Have you considered the consequences? What will happen if the consequences cannot be borne?"

Shen An said honestly: "The court will be divided, and there will be endless disputes from then on."

Zhao Zongshi smiled and said: "Yes! Since you know it, why are you so eager?"

His attitude was very cordial. Shen An stood up and said, "Yes, I know I was wrong."

Zhao Zongshi frowned and looked at his son, thinking, please take a look and see how good Shen An's attitude is. He will admit when he is wrong.

But what about you?

Zhao Zhongzhen complained secretly in his heart, thinking that Shen An was a piece of meat, don't look at him admitting his mistake now, and promise not to take it seriously when he turns around.

This person admits his mistakes like drinking water. He can come at any time if he wants.

Seeing his unconvinced look, Zhao Zongshi said, "It's best for Anbei to go out less these days."

This is a veiled warning.

You just stirred up a hornet's nest today, be careful when you go out.

Shen An subconsciously touched his lower back, thinking who would dare to poke me in the waist these days?

After he left, Zhao Zongshi looked at his son and sighed: "Be kind..."

"yes."

Zhao Zhongzhen felt that he was wronged. It was obviously Shen An's fault, why did he scold me?

Zhao Zongshi ignored him and said to himself: "Ouyang Xiu closed his door and thought about his mistakes, but Chen Zhong refused to calm down after being beaten... It is said that Ouyang Xiu's family can no longer bear the disturbance."

Ouyang Xiu has made a great contribution today!

Zhao Zhongzhen kept this in mind and told Shen An later.

Shen An was happy when he heard it.

"Your Majesty asked Ouyang Xiu to think about his mistakes behind closed doors, but did not punish him further. This is He Xini."

Zhao Zhongzhen rolled his eyes and said: "My father said this specifically. I'm afraid Ouyang Xiu can't handle it... He was an evergreen tree in the literary world before, but now his words have offended countless powerful officials. He has been punished Those who are favored by him may not dare to come out..."

Is Zhao Zongshi hinting?

Shen An thinks it should be right.

He immediately sent someone to inquire about the news.

"Mr. Lang, Chen Zhong is making a fuss in front of Ouyang Xiu's house, showing his swollen face and missing teeth to others. It's so lively."

This is containment.

Zhao Zhongzhen said with gleaming eyes: "Brother An Bei, why don't you come forward, wait until someone brings someone to fight..."

Hit your sister!

Shen An grabbed him and said angrily: "Stop it! The official family is getting angry, and we just took advantage. We must learn to behave and stop making trouble."

You have changed!

Zhao Zhongzhen felt that this was not Shen An's temperament, "But... should we just sit back and do nothing?"

Ouyang Xiu can help you a lot today, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net Just ignore this matter?

"Brother An Bei, are you feeling sorry for yourself? Aren't you feeling guilty?"

Shen comforted his non-existent beard as if in deep thought, while Zhao Zhongzhen muttered dissatisfiedly.

"...Didn't you say before that if others help us, we have to pay back double the amount. We will be nice to whoever is nice to us... But Ouyang Xiu is nice! He is also nice to you, why don't you want to help? ?”

Zhao Zhongzhen suddenly realized: "Are you afraid of the official's wrath? No, Ouyang Xiu is an old minister. As long as there is no big fuss, it will be fine."

"Are you afraid of this?"

Shen An shook his head disdainfully, and then said surreptitiously: "Someone has thought of a good idea..."

Zhao Zhongzhen said happily: "I like your dirty ideas, tell me quickly."

What's wrong with me?

Shen An resisted the urge to slap him and said: "Ask someone to spread the word. Let's say that those people who have been supported by Ouyang Xiu have taken the benefits of being powerful and are gearing up to give Ouyang Xiu a fatal blow at the critical moment..."

Zhao Zhongzhen took a breath and said: "You are so poisonous..."
