The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 76 The evil old man
Li Qingzhao felt very sad.

It was clearly Liang Xin's work, so he wrote another letter to Cao Tan, but Cao Tan didn't believe it.

I only believe that this is Li Qingzhao’s own handwriting.

Liang Xin, after finishing the whole thing, she didn't care about the ending.

Because Zhang Dun came to visit.

The first time Zhang Dun came, Liang Xin avoided seeing him.

The second time Zhang Dun came, Liang Xin pretended to be drunk but still disappeared.

Zhang Dun didn't mind at all and continued to be a bad guest.

According to the etiquette of the Song Dynasty, when visiting someone else's home, you must first send a greeting card. Going directly to the door is considered a bad visitor.

Zhang Dun must come and ask for it.

His son came back and described the scenes in detail at the great court meeting, and he asked other people to ask.

When will Zhao Ji, a foolish king, become a holy king?

Zhang Dun didn't believe it.

Especially after Liang Shicheng left Beijing, did Zhao Ji still have such talents in the court?
One day and one night, Zhang Dun read "Three Kingdoms" and "Dream of Red Mansions" several times.

The Dream of Red Mansions was written by Liang Xin, and was ghostwritten by the girl from the Li family, the most talented woman in Bianjing.This is something that basically everyone in Bianjing City knows.

And joking about the Three Kingdoms.

After careful analysis, Zhang Dun believed that it was also Liang Xin's work.

Therefore, even if Zhang Dun is a bad guest, he still has to go to Liang Mansion every day.

Two days ago, Liang Xin refused.

Until Zhang Dun came for the third time.

Liang Xincai set up refreshments in the flower hall to entertain Zhang Dun.

"Mr. Zhang, my father is not at home."

As soon as they met, Liang Xin blocked Zhang Dun's mouth.

Zhang Dun just smiled: "There was a fire in my house, so I'm staying at your house for one night."

"Mr. Zhang, at your home?"

Zhang Dun: "I can immediately arrange for someone to set the fire, and Brother Xin can also drive me away immediately."

Liang Xin:......

This is the case with hob meat.

Zhang Dun added: "Brother Xin, you can go about your own business. I can do whatever I want."

Liang Xin: "What do you mean? Just tell me."

Zhang Dun did not answer, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said: "Lingzu is a human being. He is disgusted by the new law and dislikes the old law. When he was demoted, the people who protected him were Empress Dowager Cao, Banshang Gong, and me."

Seeing Zhang Dun mentioning old things, Liang Xin could only listen silently.

Liang Xin knew that the matter mentioned by Zhang Dun was the Wu Shitai case, and Banshangong was Wang Anshi, the leader of the new law at that time.

Zhang Dun continued: "Then, Banshan Gong passed away and Shenzong died. The new method failed. Do you know why the new method failed?"

Liang Xin just smiled.

Needless to say.

In history, any reform will most directly affect the interests of the old aristocracy.

Zhang Dun didn't seem to want to listen to Liang Xin's answer, and continued: "I was demoted to the end, and went to a very remote place to serve as a county magistrate. Dongpo saw me off, and it seemed like we were back to our first acquaintance. He told me to stay in a remote place. things you need to pay attention to when living in a place where you live.”

Liang Xin nodded.

Zhang Dun picked up the teapot and poured tea for Liang Xin. When Liang Xin was about to say thank you, Zhang Dun suddenly said: "Is there any grievance among the Cai brothers?"

When Liang Xin heard this, she was astonished. Zhang Dun continued: "In the Queen Mother's palace, are there people who died in vain? In Liu Jieyu's palace, are there people who beg for their lives?"

Zhang Dun stared at Liang Xin at this time: "It was I who put Dongpo to death several times before he could maintain the new law. He had to kill, he had to kill, he had to kill. If I were to choose again, what would happen to the Cai family? , more suitable for him, my old friend, Su... Dongpo." At this time, Liang Xin nodded silently.

That's right.

Back then, Zhang Dun risked his life and career to protect Su Shi. This was a true friendship and a true gentleman.

And after that, he wants to punish Su Shi to death. He is also a true character and a true villain.

At this time, Zhang Dun threw out a trump card.

"Only two people know about my desire to get back together, and each of them is different."

Liang Xin smiled and laughed loudly.

He was using his laughter to cover up his embarrassment of falling into Zhang Dun's trap.

Yes, he was trapped.One is Zongze and the other is Princess Zhu.

old fox.

Even though she has thousands of years of information, in terms of wisdom, Liang Xin does not dare to be arrogant enough to compare with these veterans who have been in the court all their lives and are no more than students.

Zhang Dun: "When Meng returned to the palace, I'm still speculating on who gave the government the idea. This is indeed a wonderful move. It's just above the court and the imperial platform. I'm not blind. What do you think, Liang School inspection?”

Zhang Dun can be said to be one of the people who knows Zhao Ji best.

What kind of thing is Zhao Ji?

Enlist Fan Chunli as the powerful magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion, transfer Fan Chunren back to Beijing as Privy Envoy, hand over the rear support for troops deployed in the northwest to Fan Chunren, and transfer the most critical transport envoy to Guo Zhongxiao.

In Zhang Dun's eyes, this method could not even bring Zhao Ji back to his mother's womb and recreate him.

And the time period during which all this happened.

Cao Ping went on an expedition and Liang Shi became the supervisor of the army.

Zhang Dun knew who was around Zhao Ji.

At this moment, Zhang Dun threw out his second trump card: "I am sitting here, and we will see the outcome tomorrow at Yin Shi. Tomorrow is the day of the great court meeting."

MMP.

Liang Xin really wanted to pick up a stick and drive people away.

Zhang Dun asked: "Is it possible? Or should you drive me out at this time?"

Liang Xin: "Stop beating around the bush, just give him a good time. If you want to get back together, I will do my best to help you."

Zhang Dun shook his head: "Zeng Bu was Zuopushe (left prime minister). He was already arranging for the promotion of his son and the promotion of his party members. As Chen Cisheng mentioned, the appointment and dismissal of Taijian should be decided by the officials. Tomorrow the court will meet There will be huge resistance.”

After saying this, Zhang Dun stopped.

Liang Xin held the teacup and stared at Zhang Dun, waiting for Zhang Dun's next words.

Zhang Dun smiled calmly: "In the Song Dynasty, we should polish it every three years for writing and every five years for martial arts."

After hearing this, Liang Xin put down her tea cup, stood up and bowed.

Zhang Dun's move completed the most important part of Liang Xin's full set of tactics prepared to use on Zeng Bu.

It’s true: if God wants to make him die, he must first make him mad

Zhang Dun threw out the third trump card: "I will never see you again in this life. I only want to preserve my Zhang family, and then create a new method to save me from regrets in my life."

Liang Xin shook her head: "In my eyes, the new law is not worth mentioning. If Zhang Gong mentions this matter, you and I should not sit together and drink tea."

Zhang Dun planned to use a new excuse, but Liang Xin interrupted: "There are rumors about Cai Bianxin and Zhang Dunkou, are they true or false?"

Zhang Dun replied: "True!" Then, Zhang Dun asked: "Why did the Cai family's matter not fall on me? I have analyzed that the crimes that fell on the two brothers can not only be put on me, but also on me. It can be more serious, because I have said bluntly that today’s official family is..."

Without letting Zhang Dun continue, Liang Xin said: "When Zhang Gong was the independent prime minister, he once ordered the dismissal of those who were in office based on friendship and the like. For seven years, you did not give your cronies the official positions and rights with their own rights." The title even suppressed his son’s promotion path.”

A happy smile appeared on Zhang Dun's face.

Act on your own and be brave enough to take responsibility.
