The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 90 Gao Qiu
Zhang Dun motioned to Liang Xin to give him the piece of paper just now.

After taking the paper, Zhang Dun said to Fan Chunli: "I have seen half of this kind of stone before. It is very rare. It comes from the Liangzhou area in Western Xia. According to what Brother Xin said, it was polished by the constant wind and sand. Natural stones. Officials like strange stones..."

After Fan Chunli heard this, he stood up and saluted Liang Xin: "I am ashamed."

Liang Xin responded: "There is no reason. I can't find an excuse to replenish the Western Army's armaments and fight against Xixia."

"Yes."

Fan Chunli sat down and looked at the memorials on the table, feeling very calm. "Let me tell you, when did an official handle government affairs, and when did he have such sharp rhetorical skills? The day before, I was standing in the front row, and the official was obviously drunk, but he could answer questions fluently with the officials. Suspicious, Very suspicious."

Zhang Dun said at this time: "Brother Xin, go find a way to control Prime Minister Han, and have him come over within seven days. I will have a chat with Duke Fan, and we will draft the memorials for you."

Liang Xin: “I don’t have any suggestions.”

Zhang Dun shook his head: "No, I can't do anything to him. Prime Minister Han is of average intelligence, but generous."

Fan Chunli suddenly spoke: "Back then, in the dispute between the new law and the old law, Zhongyan and Shi were not on the same side. When an official ascended the throne, there was something that the public didn't know about, because he spoke ill of the official. After he left, Zeng Bu said of."

Zhang Dun turned his head: "What are you talking about?"

Fan Chunli said: "Zeng Bu said to the eldest empress: Shi and Zhe cannot be used on the left, and Jing and Bian cannot be used on the left. Therefore, the eldest empress chose Zhongyan as the prime minister, although his prestige is not as good as his."

Zhang Dun understood: "Shu, Luo, and Shuo are the same lineage of the old method."

"Correct."

Liang Xin also understood.

Brothers Su Shi and Su Che represented officials from Shu.Han Zhongyan represented officials from the Luo region, and Liu Anshi represented an official from the north, known as Shuo.

Among the officials in Shu, Su Shi was named the leader, but in fact he was only in name. The real leader was Su Che.

At this time, Su Che should not have received the order to return to Beijing, because Liang Xin had never considered letting Su Che return to Bianjing. This person was too troublesome and too conservative.

Several times he ceded territory and sought peace with Xixia, and there was a shadow of Su Che.

Moreover, in Liang Xin's opinion, Su Che was higher than his brother in terms of IQ and emotional intelligence.The definition given by Liang Xin is that he is a very cunning and scheming man.

Zhang Dun said again to Liang Xin: "The return of the two Su brothers to Beijing is your help, but it is also a trouble."

Liang Xin smiled: "I never planned to let him return to Bianjing, but I will let Zeng Bu accompany him."

Zhang Dun smiled.

Fan Chunli shook his head.

Liang Xin stood up and left, how to control Han Zhongyan? What methods could he use when his father Liang Shicheng was not in Bianjing?

This matter needs to be considered very seriously.

Liang Xin stood in the garden and thought for a long time.

In Liang Xin's view, whether Zhang Dun is making things difficult for her or testing her talents, Han Zhongyan is indeed a very important character, and his existence value is immeasurable to her.

Let's just say that he can fight against the Su brothers.

In terms of poetry and literary talent, Su Shi and Su Che are unparalleled in the world.Of course, brothers Cai Jing and Cai Bian can also be said to be so.

As far as Liang Xin is concerned, it's none of my business.To me, anything that has no practical value is stupid.

Chu Hong walked over from the garden at this time.

After putting on new clothes, he is also a talented person. "Young Master is well."

"Mr. Chu." Liang Xin returned the greeting.

Chu Hong said: "Young Master, I heard Liang Zhong talk about some things at home, so I came here to listen to Young Master's instructions."

Liang Xin could tell that the tone of this speech was somewhat different from the previous few days.

Liang Xin shook her head: "There's no rush. Let's rest for two days. It's still about Qiu Wei. You are the only one in our house who has the scholarship to be a Jinshi."

"Yes." Chu Hong agreed, and then said: "An old acquaintance came to ask for the title."

"Asking for a title?" Liang Xin was a little confused by the word.

Chu Hong replied: "Gao Qiu was formerly a scholar of Duke Dongpo. Later, Duke Dongpo was exiled overseas and recommended him to Prince Consort Wang Shen. Later, by chance, he joined Prince Duan's palace. Now he is an official and he is on the throne. However, he is not allowed to do so for the time being." Reuse.”

After hearing this, Liang Xin laughed.

It was because of his appearance that he changed the fate of many people, such as Gao Qiu.

The Cuju that Gao Qiu plays now is outdated for Zhao Ji.

With him playing with Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji completely forgot about Gao Qiu, a little person who was originally a servant. In history, the first time Gao Qiu achieved military merit was He Huang, but now he is gone.But after all, he was also from Prince Duan's Mansion, and he still had some friendship with Liang Shicheng.

Liang Xin: "Sir, what do you think of this?"

Chu Hong replied: "After all, they are both from Prince Duan's Palace, and they can be considered old friends. If he ignores it, I'm afraid the Liang Family's reputation will be damaged. But if he doesn't know his own worth, then it means that our Liang Family doesn't miss our old friendship." .”

Side hall.

When Liang Xin arrived, Gao Qiu was already waiting here.

As soon as he saw Liang Xin entering, Gao Qiu immediately knelt down and then kowtowed: "Greetings to Sun Shaojun."

Liang Xin was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Quick, please get up quickly. You and my father are in Prince Duan's Mansion. How can you give such a big gift? How can I bear it?"

Gao Qiu: "I can bear it. I am a servant of Duke Dongpo. Although I have not served Duke Dongpo in these years, I still miss him. Without Duke Dongpo's care, I would not be where I am today. I would have died of starvation in the wilderness." .”

Even if Liang Xin went to help him, Gao Qiu still performed the courtesy and completed the courtesy of a servant.

Liang Xin helped Gao Qiu stand up: "You are here just in time. There is something that has been embarrassing me for several days."

Gao Qiu: "Please give me your instructions, Mr. Sun."

Liang Xin said: "My father is away on war, and I can't leave him for even a moment." Speaking of this, Liang Xin gritted his teeth and said: "When our ancestors returned from Danzhou, although uncle (Uncle Dang) had already gone to pick him up, I I want to go to greet him on my father's behalf but I really can't do it. Can you please do it for me?"

Gao Qiu immediately knelt down again and said, "I would like to go."

"Well, it's time for you." Liang Xin winked, and Chu Hong said immediately: "Since you are here to welcome the Liang Mansion, you can't lose the Liang Mansion's face. But come with me, you will always have decent clothes. , you should also bring more money with you so that you can take care of Duke Dongpo along the way."

"Yes, yes. Thank you, Brother Chu." The two of them are old acquaintances, and there is no need for introduction.

Chu Hong left with Gao Qiu.

Liang Xin had no evil thoughts towards Gao Qiu. Gao Qiu was not a very evil person. He just had no knowledge and experience and could not be a good official. He simply did not have the ability to be an official.

Think about it again, Cuju is good at kicking. For an emperor, it is too easy to find someone who is good at Cuju.

So, Cuju was just an introduction to Gao Qiu's success.
