Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 324: Fishing for fame and reputation
Shen Congxing is the commander of the army, and the Shen family is not a well-known family. In addition, his marriage to Zhao Zongquan means that Shen Congxing's future is basically over.

At the same time, it was also destined that Shen Congxing would not have the chance to lead his troops on the battlefield.

"Why don't men take Wu Gou and capture the fifty states of Guanshan? As a military general, as long as there is a passion for the village in his heart, who wouldn't make it his lifelong dream to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun?" Shen Congxing shook his head.

"it is good!"

When Gu Tingye heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "Brother Shen is very ambitious, but there is no need to feel sorry for yourself. As long as the reform can be accomplished, this situation will definitely be changed in the future."

"Haha, let me borrow the good words from Mr. Gu."

Shen Congxing smiled, but didn't take it seriously.

Li An smiled slightly and joked, he is the future uncle of the country, there is no need to wait until the reform is successful.

"I heard from Ceying that you will take part in the examination next year?" Shen Congxing asked.

"Exactly, that's why I wanted to go on a study tour to gain more knowledge." Li An said with a smile.

"With your knowledge, you will definitely be on the gold list next year." Shen Congxing said with a smile.

"Then let's borrow Brother Shen's good words." Li An said with a smile.

"I wonder if Zi Qian has made a marriage arrangement? My sister-in-law is about the same age as you and will be getting haircut in a few months. If you don't mind, we can be relatives." Shen Congxing suddenly said.

Li An was stunned when he heard this and looked a little strange. Shen Congxing actually wanted him to marry the little Zou family.

You must know that Xiao Zou is Shen Congxing's future concubine.

However, Shen Congxing, the young Zou family, couldn't bear it himself, and he couldn't bear it even more.

Just when Li An was about to refuse, Gu Tingye smiled and said: "Zi Qian's marriage has been decided, but he has failed to live up to Brother Shen's good intentions."

"I was the one who was abrupt." Shen Congxing felt a little pity when he heard this.

The reason why he wanted to build a bridge for Li An to marry Xiao Zou was because he learned their identities from Zhao Ceying.

Although Li An was not of high birth, the Zou family was not high either.

What's more, Li An has already passed the exam at a young age. Even if he fails the exam next year, given his age, he will still have a chance in the future.

As for Gu Tingye, the Zou family simply couldn't reach him.

After chatting for a while, Shen Congxing proposed to treat the two of them to dinner.

Gu Tingye and Li An naturally would not refuse.

During the dinner, Gu Tingye and Shen Congxing chatted about the situation in the north and northwest, and they had a good time.

The two of them were a military general and the general's legitimate son. They had both learned military skills since they were young.

Li An is far behind in this regard. He doesn't know much about military matters. He can still say a few words about Xixia.

As for the Liao Kingdom, he was blinded.

The main reason is that historically, except for Taizu Taizong during the Northern Song Dynasty, subsequent emperors basically never took the initiative to launch an attack on the Liao Kingdom.

As for the Chanyuan Alliance, it was the Liao Kingdom that took the initiative to attack.

At that time, Emperor Zhenzong was so frightened that he fled south. Although he won the battle in the end, he had to pay the Liao Dynasty coins.

I have to say it was very frustrating.

After Emperor Renzong, there were serious internal malpractices and serious party disputes. He could not even defeat Xixia, let alone the Liao Kingdom.

Later, when the Northern Song Dynasty fell, the north was lost, let alone the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Horse hoofs go south, people look north!

Wang Shibei set the Central Plains Day, and the family sacrifice never forgot to tell Nai Weng.

These poems make people feel angry and aggrieved.

……

Bianjing, the main hall of the Han family.

Han Zhang sat in the main seat, with five or six people sitting on each side. These are the only remaining reformists in Bianjing.

"I invite you all to come here to discuss how to keep Wang Anshi. Now the officials have issued an order to escort Wang Anshi back to Beijing, and he will arrive in Bianjing tomorrow." Han Zhang said.

"Master!"

The person on the right stood up and said: "Although Wang Anshi supports the reform, after all, this person is not of the same mind as us. Now is not the opportunity for the reform at all, and we should wait for the opportunity. This person has written to the officials many times, requesting the reform, and now even more so Implementing new laws in local areas. Now that the conservative faction is facing a formidable enemy, it will be very difficult for us to try to reform the laws in the future.”

"Lord Lu is right, and what Wang Anshi has changed is far from the original New Deal of Prime Minister Fan. The conservative faction is so powerful that it would be unwise to fight against the conservative faction for him."

"The Grand Prime Minister and the subordinates also feel that what the two adults said is very reasonable. There is no need to protect Wang Anshi at all. He is nothing more than being demoted. This incident can be regarded as a lesson for him. Let him settle down."

Seeing everyone's opposition, Han Zhang's heart sank.

Although outsiders think that Hai Wenren and Wang Anshi are reformists.

But in fact, they are not reformists.

Hai Wenren did not participate in the implementation of the New Deal at first, but because he admired Grand Prime Minister Fan, he recognized the New Deal and wrote many times to support it.

After the failure of the New Deal, Xianggong Fan was demoted, and he wrote a letter to impeach himself and beg for resignation, advancing and retreating together with Xianggong Fan.

Therefore, in the eyes of the conservatives, He Wenren is a reformist.

But he was not recognized by the reformists.

As for Wang Anshi, this is even less true. When the New Deal was implemented, Wang Anshi had just passed the Jinshi examination and was still a novice who had just entered the officialdom.

How can people interfere with reform matters if they speak lightly.

The reason why Wang Anshi is regarded as a reformist is firstly because he has repeatedly written letters requesting reform, and secondly because he is half a student of Hai Wenren.

But in the eyes of the reformists, he was not recognized.

Because the reform policy he proposed was very different from the New Deal originally implemented by Fan Daxiangong.

Han Zhang opened his mouth, sighed, and said, "In that case, let's forget about it and let's be dismissed."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other. They thought Han Zhang would persuade them, and they were all thinking about how to refuse. They didn't expect Han Zhang to give up so easily.

But no matter what, it was a good thing for them, so they all stood up, saluted, said goodbye and left.

"Mr. Bo, have you seen it? Nowadays, these people have actually lost their heart for reform." Han Zhang said with a bitter smile.

Hai Wenren walked out from behind the screen, his face turned red and he said, "A group of people who are just trying to gain fame."

As Han Zhang said, today's reformists have actually long since lost their intention to reform.

At the beginning, Grand Prime Minister Fan and the princes in the DPRK implemented the New Deal.

After the failure of the New Deal, these people were demoted and died in despair.

The remaining people now have long lost their heart for reform.

The reason why they still use the banner of reformists is just for reputation.

For them, it's best to keep things as they are.

It will not attract opposition from the conservative faction, and it can also maintain their respective reputations.

"Now you know why I didn't comment on Jiefu's letter, right?" Han Zhang laughed at himself.

"I wrongly blamed the Grand Master." Hai Wenren said with some shame.

After Han Zhang returned to the throne, he never wrote a letter proposing reforms.

Wang Anshi wrote many times for reform, but Han Zhang did not follow suit, which made Hai Wenren very disappointed.

In anger, Hai Wenren even questioned Han Zhang.

"Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about how to keep Jiefu. I believe that there are still knowledgeable people in the world. Jiefu must be kept and we can't let those people lose confidence. Otherwise, if you want to reform in the future, you will have to It will be difficult," Han Zhang said.
