Chapter 82 0080 [How can the world not perish]

During the Northern Song Dynasty, not only flower embroidery, but also nicknames were liked.

It seems that without a nickname, he has fallen into prestige.

Such as the flooding Jiao Qimeng, or the Black Mountain Li Tianwang.

Moreover, like Huaxiu, nicknames are not only popular among market bums, but also among courtiers and officials.

Sima Guang has a nickname, Sima Niu.

This nickname was given by Su Shi, who satirizes him as a single-minded person who doesn't know how to adapt.

Another example is that Ouyang Xiu gave Fan Zhongyan the nickname, Lord of the Poor.

Li Bangyan also has a nickname, called the Prodigal Prime Minister!
Just by looking at the motto of this man's life, one can see why he got such a nickname.

【Kick all the world's balls, be all the world's officials, enjoy all the world's flowers (metaphor refers to women). 】

Li Bangyan was born in the city. His father Li Pu once worked as a miner, and later became an apprentice silversmith. Because of his quick mind, he ran a silversmith shop by himself after he finished his studies.

Because of his superb craftsmanship, over the years, he has accumulated a considerable amount of family business.

Seeing that his son didn't like studying and had no hope of getting a good grade in the exam, Li Pu asked him to make more friends with scholars.

Not to mention, although Li Bangyan is not very knowledgeable, he is quick-witted, handsome, and knows how to deal with people and the world, so he quickly became famous among scholars.

So that when Hedong Juren came to Beijing to take the exam, he must visit him in Huaizhou.

And Li Bangyan was also generous, with good food and drinks, and if the family was poor, he would also give money to help these candidates rush for the exam.

For a time, Li Bangyan became famous.

And those Juren who have been entertained by him will also spontaneously help him promote after high school, and relying on their good reputation, they finally entered Beijing as Tai students as they wished.

Although Li Bangyan has no talent and learning, because he was born in the market, he is familiar with obscene things, is good at banter, can play Cuju, and often compiles market sayings into lyrics and music.

It happened that when Song Huizong was still King Duan, he was also a well-known libertine in Tokyo, so he loved Li Bangyan very much.

In the second year of Daguan, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty bestowed upon him a Jinshi degree, appointed him the Secretary of the Provincial School, and tried to serve as Fu Baolang.

In the fifth year of Xuanhe, in just ten years, Li Bangyan has become Shangshu Zuocheng, ruling the world!

In contrast, Wang Wei is a little more reliable.

At least he is a serious Jinshi and the first degree, but that's all.

This person relied on clever words to flatter and flatter, and his official career was prosperous.

Because of helping Cai Jing regain his prime minister, he was promoted to the eighth rank by Tongyi doctor and was appointed prime minister.

This rocket-like promotion speed has been unique since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, which made many courtiers dumbfounded.

Apart from flattery, the reason why they were favored by Song Huizong was that the two had one thing in common.

That is extraordinary appearance.

Needless to say, Li Bangyan has a handsome appearance and a free and easy temperament.

And Wang Fu didn't give up too much, he was tall, fair-faced, and of Hu blood, with blond hair and golden eyes, and he was personable and dignified.

Song Huizong was an artist after all. You can call him stupid, but you cannot deny his aesthetic vision.

……

"Ah."

Song Huizong nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Li Bangyan's words.

The prosperity of our Great Song Dynasty has reached the peak of all dynasties.

The people are rich, and there are many merchants. Now that the court is spending money, what's wrong with asking the people to borrow some money?
When Wang Fu saw this, he was not willing to let go of this opportunity to please him, so he hurriedly suggested: "The government, the treasury is struggling right now, and the people are rich, so we should do our best. It's better to collect personal money from various places to fill the treasury. This can relieve the urgent situation of the six prefectures of Yanyun."

100 million guan is only one year's rent in the six states of Yanyun.

Wanyan Aguda did a great job, looting everything that could be robbed in the land of the six states, including the population.

It is equivalent to saying that Song Huizong spent money to buy six empty cities.

If you buy everything, you have to garrison the army, right?
Arrange for officials to manage it?
Migrating people to farm, right?
However, the garrison needs money, the officials need money, the resettlement and resettlement, and the collection of fugitives also need money.

Money is everywhere!
Song Huizong pondered for a while, and ordered: "Leave this matter to Wang Qing."

After getting the errand, Wang Fu was overjoyed: "The minister accepts the order!"

Now he has already figured out the way to be an official. It is not enough to rely on flattery, but he must be able to do practical things and relieve the worries of the officials. Only in this way can he be simple in the emperor's heart.

Then why Cai Jing was able to become prime minister several times, isn't it because he can help the officials make money.

He Cai Jing can make money, so can I, Wang Fu.

After solving the money problem in twos and threes, Song Huizong was in a good mood.

As for the Jin people, they have never been valued by Song Huizong and his courtiers.

From their point of view, these savages only need to give a little favor, and they will be grateful.

Just like the Liao Kingdom, so what if they can fight?

Give some old coins, and then open the mutual market, and it won't take long before it will rot and degenerate.

Li Bangyan's ability to observe facial expressions is really good. Seeing that Song Huizong's mood improved, he suggested with a smile: "Officials, it's still early in the morning, why don't you just play around with wine."

Hearing this vulgar country slang, instead of getting angry, Song Huizong shook his head and laughed.

After tapping Li Bangyan with his fingers a few times, he said in a doting tone, "You, you. That's all, let's have a banquet and raise the level building!"

After moving to Shengping Building, the three drank and had fun for a while.

Song Huizong felt that it was not lively enough, so he called the empress and concubines, as well as the emperor and prince to the banquet.

At the banquet, Li Bangyan kept talking about common jokes, and from time to time he imitated the singing of actors, which made Song Huizong laugh out loud.

Wang Fu smiled, but a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

He looked down on Li Bangyan from the bottom of his heart. It was a shame to be an official in the same dynasty as a prodigal son.

What Wang Fu didn't know was that Li Bangyan had already harbored resentment towards him, and now he was secretly colluding with Liang Shicheng and Cai You to bring him down.

When the wine was in full swing, Li Bangyan tore off his court clothes suddenly, and was naked, revealing the flower embroidery that had been covered with raw silk in advance.

"ah!"

This sudden scene caused the empress, concubines, and imperial concubines to let out a soft cry and cover their eyes one after another.

Li Bangyan didn't care, and started talking about dirty jokes while holding a glass wine cup.

In the past it was fine, but now the harem concubines are all there.

This made Song Huizong very angry: "What is the style, what is the style!"

He looked around, and after searching for a while, Song Huisong picked up a stick and made a gesture to hit him.

Li Bangyan was so frightened that he ran away, walked out of the Shengping building, and climbed up a tree nimbly.

Seeing this scene, Song Huizong was immediately happy, and the palace maids and guards laughed so hard that their stomach hurts.

After a while, Song Huizong called the eunuch to pass the decree: "Come down now, I won't beat you anymore."

Unexpectedly, Li Bangyan didn't come down immediately. Instead, he imitated a woman's opera tune on the tree, singing: "Huangying steals her eyes and dare not come down from the branches."

"Hahahaha!"

Song Huizong was amused again and laughed.

When the prime minister of the court, he took off his clothes during the banquet and was driven into a tree, which is really absurd.

Empress Zheng sighed slightly, and muttered to herself: "If the prime minister is like this, how can the world not perish?"
