The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 34: Meat Eaters Plan

Announce to the Queen Mother.

Soon, Zhao Ji entered the palace.

Zhao Ji did not allow him to stand. There was already a chair to sit down on, and Liang Shicheng was standing at the door.

Six palace maids stood beside Queen Mother Xiang, and a table was set up.

On the table, there is a bamboo board and a staff.

Liang Xin entered and saluted: "How are you, the great empress? I am here to hear the announcement from the school inspector Liang Xin of Zhao Wen Guan."

The Queen Mother didn't say anything, just waved her hand gently.

An old palace maid who looked to be in her 40s took a step forward, picked up the staff on the table, and dropped the staff to the ground, breaking into three pieces.

He waved his hand gently to the Queen Mother: "Everyone, please go out. I will talk to the Emperor."

The six maids and Liang Shicheng retreated one by one and closed the door.

After the door was closed, he asked the Queen Mother: "Why are these people recruited to the capital? Look at the staff on the ground and think about it before answering."

Liang Xin took a step forward. In terms of time, there was no time to think about it.

Liang Xin said: "Returning to the eldest lady, there are quarrels in the court every day. What they fight for is their own interests, not the official family's, nor those of the Song Dynasty. Whether the Jinshi ten years ago were excellent or inferior, Scholars have a saying: Scholars who want to be officials have to take exams, but they also have to work."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, this was the truth.

She has two brothers, and she was not willing to join in the same trend at that time. It was not until she became the Queen Mother that she began to have a path to promotion.

As for Zhao Ji!

Just be obedient. Empress Dowager Xiang knew that this was a waste. He had the advantage of being sweet-tongued.Empress Dowager Xiang also knew that when Zhao Ji was still King Duan, he often came to her palace to greet her, just for the sake of the two beautiful maids around her, but at least it made herself happy.

Therefore, he rewarded Zhao Ji with two maids.

Speaking of government affairs!

Why do you want the Queen Mother to know the military and state affairs? She knows that Zhao Ji is unreliable.

Asked the second question to the Queen Mother: "Hehuang?"

Just two words, Empress Dowager Xiang was waiting for Liang Xin's answer.

Liang Xin: "Returning to the words of the eldest empress, with private eyes, the eldest empress has a burning gaze and chooses a good king to be the leader of the Song Dynasty. With the public, the late emperor's strategy for Hehuang was to suppress Xixia. As for the Liao Dynasty, we have nothing to do with the Song Dynasty for the time being. As a result, if the northwest flourishes, the prosperity of our Song Dynasty will surely reach a higher level."

He nodded to the Queen Mother and then asked the third question: "Where are you studying and who is the teacher?"

Liang Xin: "Back to my wife, my father has been studying ink for many years for the government. The government allowed my father to take the book home, and the government taught me calligraphy and painting. When I was young, many father-in-laws were my teachers in elementary school. Later, they taught me in the Hanlin Academy Eunuch Jia of the Royal Academy where I belong taught me how to read."

That Eunuch Jia died of illness last month, and there is no evidence of this.

However, Empress Dowager Xiang knew that this Eunuch Jia was a very talented man. After his death as a eunuch, he was given the posthumous title of Zhongliang and was given to the young master.There are not many eunuchs with posthumous titles.

The fourth question to the Queen Mother: "Is Hehuang desirable?"

Liang Xin: "First send people to appease the people and collect intelligence. Bianjing will prepare food, grass, troops and horses. When the time is right, we can use the power of thunder to achieve full success. After that, with good ministers and strategies, we can last a long time."

The fifth question to the Queen Mother: "If officials ask you who will lead the army, how will you answer?"

Liang Xin: "In response to the eldest lady, Ma Juncao is the deputy commander of the army, and Ping Haijun is the military commander."

"Why him?" Queen Mother Xiang's tone changed a little.

Who is Liang Xin talking about, Cao Ping, the sixth generation head of the Cao family, the eldest son of Cao Yi, and the biological father of Cao Tan.

Liang Xin replied: "The Cao family has been kind to me, and I want to repay it. Brother Cao Yang helped me when I needed it most, and he didn't mind that I came from a humble background. He is worthy of my brother. Recently, my home was renovated. Brother Yang tidied up his house and let me live in it."

Queen Mother Xiang stood up and said, "Come, come back to the palace." Then she left.

Zhao Ji was sitting on the chair and felt his legs soften and slide to the ground.

About 5 minutes after the Empress Dowager left, a palace maid came in and saluted: "The official family, the eldest lady asked to arrange a political discussion in the official's study in the afternoon. The eldest lady's original words: Do the officials know who to arrange for a political discussion? The eldest lady also ordered Well, if the political discussion goes well, the officials will invite me to the imperial garden in the evening to accompany the queen to enjoy flowers and tea."

Zhao Ji was nervous on the one hand and happy on the other.

Liang Xin's back was also wet with cold sweat.

He was surprised.

It can even be said to be shocking.

On the way here, Liang Xin thought a lot and guessed what the Queen Mother would ask, but the result was completely different from what she had guessed.Then there is only one explanation. Empress Dowager Xiang knew that Zhao Ji was a complete idiot in government affairs.

Before Liang Xin could wipe her sweat, Zhao Ji grabbed Liang Xin's arm and said, "You, hurry up and arrange a political discussion." Zhao Ji looked at Liang Xin with a kind of expectation and desire in his eyes.

Liang Xin probably understood that it was a compliment to the Queen Mother that she could invite Zhao Ji to come with her to taste tea and enjoy the flowers.

Discussing politics has nothing to do with yourself.

Success or failure depends on... Zongze.

At this time, Liang Xin could only place her hope in Zongze, and it was not convenient for her to come forward.

Zhao Ji went to sleep again. He wanted to be energetic and at least not doze off in the afternoon.

Liang Xin had a meal in the palace, and the imperial chef cooked it.

During the meal, Liang Shicheng accompanied him.

The father and son looked at each other speechless.

I can't tell whether what just happened is a good thing or a bad thing.

After being silent for a long time, Liang Xin spoke in a very low voice: "There is a subjugation of the country, and there is a subjugation of the world. Do you argue with the subjugation of the country and the subjugation of the world? He said: Yi changed his surname and called it subjugation; he was so full of benevolence and righteousness that he led the beasts to eat people, and the people will Eating each other is called destroying the world...those who protect the country are the rulers and ministers of the country, and those who eat meat are plotting against them; those who protect the world are humble men, so how can they be held responsible?"

Liang Shicheng suddenly raised his head and looked at Liang Xin.

He wondered.

Liang Shicheng was a little suspicious that the man sitting in front of him was not his son. The son Liang Xin in his memory could not speak at this level.

These words can only be said by a great sage.

Not to mention his worthless son, how many civil and military officials in the entire dynasty could say such a thing.

Liang Xin then said: "Father, you don't want to annihilate your descendants."

Just now he was shocked, now he is angry.

Liang Shicheng stared at Liang Xin.

Liang Xin didn't stop and continued: "I want to hide behind, hide in the dark, I don't want the civil and military officials of the court to notice my existence." Liang Xin used chopsticks to turn over the meat on the plate, beef, top quality He picked up a piece of veal and put it in his mouth: "Dad, meat eaters have the responsibility to protect Da Song, otherwise it's better to die."

Liang Shicheng's head is a little confused.

Liang Xin had already stood up: "Dad, I'm going to take a break. No matter what we face next, we can't escape it."

Liang Shicheng didn't answer because his mind was in a mess and what Liang Xin said made him unable to think normally. He was still thinking about a question over and over, why his son suddenly became smarter.

It's like Liang Xin, a person who never failed the exam before she traveled through time, suddenly became a perfect student.

Any parent will become suspicious of life instead of happy.
