Chapter 561

Han House.

Shangshu Youpushe and his servant Han Zhongyan are strolling in his Congshu hall.

Starting from Han Qi, the Han family built a "Wanji Hall" in Anyang, which gathered more than [-] volumes of books. When Han Zhongyan arrived, another [-] volumes were added to form the "Congshu Hall", which was divided into six warehouses to store books.

Not to mention the family of the scholar-officials in Heshuo, this library has the largest collection of books, even if you look at the world, it may be ranked among the top three.

Therefore, every time Han Zhongyan wandered in the library, even if it was just a branch library, he was full of joy.

Until the housekeeper's hurried voice came from outside: "Ah Lang, San Shaolang's servants have heard that San Shaolang has been taken away by the Kaifeng government office and has been put in prison."

Han Zhongyan was startled, and the third young man was Han Xiu: "Didn't you let him go back to Xiangzhou? What's going on?"

After the steward finished talking about the situation, Han Zhongyan showed displeasure: "I have already told him not to stay in the capital. If he doesn't listen, he will be to blame, so ignore it!"

The housekeeper was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "But Ah Lang, that servant has gone to another room, I'm afraid that this turmoil will be inevitable..."

Han Zhongyan understood that Han Xiu's servants had gone to ask his younger brothers for help, and suddenly he had a headache: "The family is unlucky, why did such a troublesome bastard come out!"

Aristocratic families faded out of the stage of history at the end of the Tang Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, family background was no longer the key to determining the direction of life. There was a large flow of people from different classes. Boys from poor families were admitted to Jinshi, and they could turn over in one fell swoop. Similarly, if the children and grandchildren of officials cannot get fame , and there is no way to guard the family, and the family's decline is also very fast.

This is indeed very good, and it is also the confidence that the literati in the Song Dynasty looked down on the monopoly of the Tang Dynasty, but it does not mean that it is really fair. The bureaucratic gentry class affects the whole body.

Needless to say about blood relationship, for example, Han Zhongyan is the eldest son of Han Qi, his second brother is an official to Dr. You Zanshan, the third brother died early, and is the Secretary of the Provincial School, the fourth official is a direct scholar of Huiyou Pavilion, five The younger brother became a bachelor at Longtuge, and the sixth younger brother married Princess Qi, the third daughter of Shenzong.

Han Xiu is the son of Han Zhongyan's third younger brother. Since his father died young, other uncles took good care of him. The appointment of the Kaifeng government magistrate was also obtained in this way. The power is not small, and it is relatively easy, which is really a beautiful job.

As for the marriage relationship, it is even simpler. The two words recruit a son-in-law. Many high-ranking officials in the Song Dynasty came from very humble backgrounds, but if you look at their wives, they are all wives from rich families.

Then came the model that Prime Minister Yan Shu's son-in-law is Prime Minister Fu Bi, and Prime Minister Fu Bi's son-in-law is Prime Minister Feng Jing.

Han Xiu is a child of the Han family in Xiangzhou, not to mention the immediate family members at home, even the huge in-law relationship is enough for him to ask people everywhere to find a relationship.

But at the root, it was the prestige of the Han family that was consumed, and Han Zhongyan lamented the family's misfortune.

He didn't want to pay attention to it, but he had to. He came to the desk beside him and wrote a letter.

After several letters were written and sent by the housekeeper, Han Zhongyan took out a volume of books and flipped through them, with joy reappearing between his brows.

What are the dudes, what are the new and old parties, but they are just passers-by for a while. In the book, you can forget the pain of the world, abandon the constraints of the physical body, and turn into a wisp of spirit, lingering among the wonderful words, watching The past and the present are in a moment, and the world is in a moment.

It is not easy for him to be the prime minister without fighting or grabbing. Fortunately, he is comforted and accompanied by books.

read a book!read a book!
……

Zengfu.

Privy envoy Zeng Bu was flipping through the memorial, trying to figure it out word by word.

He was already short and thin, and when he knelt in front of the table, he looked even more ugly. In addition to his age, his back was a little bent.

When he realized this, Zeng Bu immediately straightened his back, but felt a slight pain in his waist, and he couldn't help sighing, with a gloomy look between his brows.

Recently, there has been a trend in the court saying that he is short and thin, with a shrinking head and a shrunken head, so he can be called "the figure of a turtle", while the other person is tall and tall, standing in the court like a bird standing out from the flock, so he is called "the crane". Mutually".

If that person was Zhang Dun, it would be fine, he was both afraid of Zhang Dun and had some admiration for him, but the "Crane Xiang" who was in stark contrast to him was actually Han Zhongyan.

Don't cowardly people have a good skin, what's so great about it!
Zeng Bu knew very well that someone was trying to drive a wedge between him and Han Zhongyan, but he still felt extremely uncomfortable.

Appearance attacks are sometimes useless, but sometimes they are the most annoying.

Ever since, Zeng Bu unconsciously began to flip through the transcripts of Han Zhongyan's memorials.

The number was small, but some words caught his attention.

For example, "Glorify benevolence, open up the way, eliminate suspicion, and refrain from using troops."

At first glance, this empty policy seems like nonsense, but Zeng Bu interpreted it differently.

Guang Renen is to recover the official positions that Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and others were deprived of during the Shaosheng period.

The way to speak out afterwards was naturally to recall the anti-reform cadres who were known as loyal, upright and dare to advise to the court one after another.

Removing suspicion seems to reduce some unnecessary disputes, but in fact it is the most ambiguous and good at manipulation.

Not to mention the last refraining from using soldiers, it was aimed at the Qingtang War, and he didn't want to expand the war, but now that the military and government are exhausted, and the imperial army in the Beijing camp is nearly half-abandoned, there is nothing he can do about Wuyoudong, so he still wants to refrain from using soldiers?

Well, you, Han Zhongyan, seem to be impartial and neutral, but you are actually the most stubborn member of the old party.

Zeng Bu, as a person swinging between the old and new parties, cannot tolerate such people with ulterior motives and must be taken down.

At this moment, the housekeeper quickly walked to the side: "Ah Lang, Judge Gongsun of the Kaifeng government office, obtained the Queen Mother's edict to arrest the thieves who secretly passed through Wuyou Cave..."

Zeng Bu listened calmly.

Hearing that Gongsun Zhao got the Queen Mother's edict, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and nodded slightly when he heard that he hurried to Xiaotianshui Lane to thoroughly investigate Taoyaofang.

It wasn't until he heard that Liu Langzhong, Lu Shaoqing and Han Xiu supported Taoyaofang in the building, and they were all taken into the Kaifeng government office, they were a little moved, and a flash of light flashed in their eyes: "I used to underestimate this Gongsun Zhao. It is a capable minister who can thoroughly investigate the thief minister regardless of his own safety... Good! Good!"

The housekeeper naturally knew that A Lang was the one who liked to fight the most, so he would report it immediately. Sure enough, Zeng Bu sensed an excellent opportunity from it, so he picked up his pen and began to write the letter.

The butler watched the beginning, his pupils constricted, and he hurriedly kept his eyes fixed, but he knew that with Alang's efforts to fuel the flames, the matter would really turn upside down.

struggle!struggle!
……

Cai House.

Cai Bian, Zuo Cheng of the Shangshu, is doing his best.

In the calligraphy world of this period, Mi Fu (fú) who had a "prosperous atmosphere" was the first to be promoted, and then Ercai who was "brilliant and grand".

Elder brother Cai Jing is also a great calligrapher, and the two brothers are talented people, but they have different political views, and they are getting more and more disgusted with each other.

Fortunately, Cai Bian made a contribution in supporting the new master, and Cai Jing has already been demoted. Compared with him, this elder brother is still a step behind.

Cai Bian couldn't help sighing again when he thought that Zhang Dun and Zeng Bu, who had once fought side by side in Wang Anshi's reform, had become unsurpassable political enemies in the court.

At this moment, the confidant Shutong came quickly, with an unbelievable look on his brows: "My lord, something serious happened, that Gongsun Zhao from the Kaifeng government office actually took off Lu Shaoqing's official robe, and arrested him. into the prison of Kaifeng Mansion!"

Cai Bian frowned: "A mere Kaifeng government judge, how dare you do this? What's going on, let's start from the beginning!"

The book boy started from the beginning, but the inquiry was not comprehensive. The main point was that Shaoqing of Dali Temple was stripped of her scarlet robe and convicted of colluding with Wuyou Cave.

Cai Bian, however, already understood the cause and effect, and showed disgust: "After receiving the Queen Mother's edict, you are so unscrupulous. The martial artist is really domineering. If this person takes power again, will he commit treason?"

The Song Dynasty's tolerance for literati and martial arts was very different, not to mention what Gongsun Zhao did, even if it was done by literati, it would be attacked by groups.

Cai Bian was already preparing to take down Gongsun Zhao, adding to his reputation as a scholar: "Then Gongsun Zhao is so arrogant, has anything ever been found out?"

The book boy lowered his voice: "A captive lady has been rescued, and there is also food and grass that is going to be smuggled into Wuyou Cave. It is said that it is from the Imperial Army of the Beijing Camp..."

Cai Bian narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and suddenly said: "Before Zuo Zhengyan impeached this Gongsun Zhao by Ren Boyu, he was punished by the Queen Mother instead. How is the health of that upright veteran?"

The book boy thought for a while and said, "A few days ago, I heard that Ren Zhengyan was seriously ill at home, and the matter of being demoted and released has already been dropped."

Cai Bian's expression relaxed: "Send the news that Gongsun Zhao has gained power, and I will pay homage to Duke Ren."

Shutong understood, and hurriedly responded: "Yes!"

Cai Bian's attention returned to the table, and a work with a broad layout and vertical and horizontal brushstrokes came out soon, and the exquisite brushstrokes seemed to outline the turmoil of the court.

Cai Bian put away his pen in satisfaction, and smiled slightly: "My chance has come!"

calculate!calculate!
……

Ren Zhai.

Ren Boyu was lying on the couch, and the family members who came and went were sad.

The last time Zuo Zhengyan was so angry that he vomited blood and fell down, and after the imperial doctor came to make a diagnosis, they all shook their heads and left, apparently time was running out.

And Ren Boyu wanted to write a blood remonstrance several times, but he couldn't even get up from the bed, and he couldn't even speak, but at this time his eyes were still staring, and there was only one thing in his heart.

The villain Gongsun who harmed him to such a degree must fall!

But on weekdays, the sons kept reporting the news. For example, Gongsun Zhao was scolded by the queen mother again, and the murderer who killed the king of the county has not been caught so far, which made the old father look relieved.

Only today, they wandered outside the house, looking at each other, not knowing what to say.

Why did this happen?How should I tell my father?
But as explosive news came in one after another, even the old servants were discussing, Ren Boyu on the couch also faintly heard something, and waved his hand to let them in.

Coming to the bed, meeting Ren Boyu's questioning gaze, thinking of the teaching that he must speak out and not lie or deceive, Ren Shenxian could only say: "Father, don't get excited about what I'm going to say..."

He spoke slowly, and Ren Boyu listened silently.

Listening, this upright speaker straightened up suddenly, his eyes widened, and he regained the ability to speak, but the voice was extremely shrill and unwilling: "The sky has no eyes, and it does not distinguish between traitors! The sky has no eyes, Do not distinguish between loyalty and traitor!"

Pfft!
After saying a word, Ren Boyu suddenly fell backwards, his back hit the couch, and his hands fell down limply...

Feast!Feast!
