Compete for the Song Dynasty

Seeing Gao Yu walking through the door, Shen Kuo stood up from his chair and walked quickly to Gao Yu: "You, you are"

"It's raining heavily..."

"Gao Yu" Shen Kuo circled Gao Yu from front to back and looked at the two generals who were sitting on the right, an old man and a young man, also stood up from their chairs. The three surrounded Gao Yu seemingly endlessly, even though Gao Yu was used to this situation But staring at Gao Yu with amazement, amazement, and even horror always made him feel that what was missing between him and them was an iron cage.

If you look at it again, you will be confused, especially if there is some secret in Shen Kuo's eyes that seems to be flickering.

"General Tong, who are these?" Gao Yu looked at Tong Guan for help.

"Okay, okay, I just saw him and felt the same as you, but don't worry, he is definitely not the son of the adoptive father," Tong Guan said in a smooth manner.

Tong Guan approached several people and said: "This is Shen Jinglue, this is the famous general Zhong Er who came from the capital; beside him is his nephew Yuanzhou Tongpan Zhong Shidao."

Even if Tong Guan didn't say it, of course Gao Yu knew what these people meant. He hurriedly said: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Master Gao, has anyone ever told you who you resemble?" Shen Kuo asked

"Of course I'm used to it. Even the Empress Dowager of Xixia and Liang Guoxiang have said it. It seems that I said that I am very similar to a prince in the Song Dynasty, isn't it, Shen Jinglue?"

"Haha" Shen Kuo laughed a few times, his eyes flashed slyly, and then he said seriously: "I have seen a lot of weird things, but it seems that I have never heard of the thing that can bring the dead back to life and rejuvenate me. My lord, but you said that the Empress Dowager Xixia and the Prime Minister have met you, so you just let you go?"

A few people returned to their seats, Shen Kuo gave up his seat to Gao Yu Gao Yu answered Shen Kuo's question just now: "Of course I'm not here, and I was conferred the post of Dami by the Empress Dowager Liang of Xixia, but the job I was given was to level the salt on the border. Help me get mad at him for killing Gu indiscriminately, so he turned against her."

Tong Guan suddenly realized: "Oh, I said, how can you become the leader of the Salt Gang? It turns out that there is an inside story."

"Uncle, this person really looks like a prince," Zhong Shidao asked Zhong Er in a low voice.

Zhong Er shook his head: "You didn't hear him say that he met the Empress Dowager of Xixia. The prince and the Liang family of Xixia have a big feud. How could it be possible to meet the people of the Xixia Dynasty safely?"

Shen Kuo laughed. The laughter sounded a bit weird. He turned to Tong Guan and said, "Since you have brought the man here, why not ask Mr. Gao to stay in the city for a few more days? Ask the leader of the Salt Gang for advice.”

Tong Guan waved his hands: "Don't ask me about that, if it's okay, you have to ask this young master, I'm here to find Jianzhong."

Zhong Shidao seemed to think of something: "Yes, Uncle Shen Jinglue, you have to chat with us and we have some things to say, so let's take our leave first." He stood up and stood up.

Seeing the two people muttering mysteriously, Gao Yu thought to himself that the little friends who played together in the palace back then have now found their own jobs, and these people are all about 40 or [-] years old. Who said that Song Dynasty didn’t have it? Famous general Tong Guanzhong, including Zhe Keshi and even Han Shizhong, Yue Fei who may appear in the future, are all generals who can defend the frontier and fight, but how can I not hurt my old feelings and not become enemies with my current tender appearance?

After Tong Guan and Zhong Shidao left, Zhong Er also stood up: "Since Shen Jinglue has guests, I will also take my leave first."

"You go now." Shen Kuo seemed to have something to keep

"Let's go, let's go, so as not to meet Xu Xi later and get sullen again." He said as he walked towards the door, while walking, he would look back at Gao Yu from time to time, and when he reached the threshold, he didn't pay attention and almost stumbled.

"Haha, be careful," Shen Kuo said with a smile

Gao Yu couldn't help but also smiled. More than ten years have passed, the faces of these people in front of him are all old, but their personalities haven't changed much. Shen Kuo is still like a naughty boy.

The hall fell silent, only Shen Kuo and Gao Yu were left

Shen Kuo seems to be talking to himself and also seems to be saying to Gao Yu: "A few months ago, Xu Xi proposed to build the city of Yongle. He came back from the capital and told Xu Xi that building the city in Yongle would inevitably fail. It's different from sending soldiers to the tiger's mouth, but Xu Xi and Zhong Er have always been at odds. Xu Xi angrily reprimanded Zhong Er for disturbing the morale of the army and went to the court to impeach him. Zhong Er was arrogant and domineering and did not participate in this operation. This Xixia has not yet fought, and the Song army may have already fought inside."

Gao Yu lowered his head and took a sip of water, but didn't answer

Shen Kuo said again: "In the past few days, there has been a news report that Prince Liang of Xixia is actually the biological son of Wang Pang back then. But after being carried to Xixia, Liang Luoyao concealed this matter and even said nothing about his own brother. Liang Zuo's bastard outside the palace now Liang Yibu has brought three thousand elite soldiers to rebel against Xixia and is going to defect to our Great Song Dynasty"

Gao Yu still didn't answer, just smiled at Shen Kuo, as if Shen Kuo was talking to him about something very common, but everyone knows that these two things are not common

Shen Kuo still seemed unwilling. He moved his body and said, "The prince was a capable man back then. King Zhennan and his father, Prime Minister Wang Anshi, devised an innovative plan. I don't know if you have heard of it."

"I've heard it, didn't it say that it failed in the end?"

"Hehe, yes, but the young master should know what the people say among the people."

Gao Yu rolled his eyes. What did Shen Kuo mean by this sentence? He said, "Naturally, the common people have different opinions. Of course, it is good to say that it is good, but it is normal for those who have benefited to say that innovation is not good."

"Young master is quite moderate. The common people only know one thing but not necessarily the other. This reform is aimed at the common people. Those who have a school can't afford to go to school. Those who have a family business have a family business. Do you know the mysteries, my lord?"

"I'm young and lacking in talent and learning, so please give Shen Jinglue some pointers." Gao Yu lowered her head and said modestly

"The people who formulate the plan are not the ones who want to experience the new law. It's like letting the princes who have imperial doctors to see the doctor formulate the policy for the people to see the doctor; let the dignitaries who ride horses every day build roads; let the people who live in the high-rise compound High-ranking officials decide the price of land and house prices, and let people who eat, drink and have fun every day think about orphans, beggars, old people, etc. Do you think this innovation can be reformed?"

Gao Yu couldn't help looking at Shen Kuo. What Shen Kuo said was unreasonable, but it was a bit different from their original intention of relying on financial innovation to enrich the country and strengthen the military. The young crops law was used to say that the strong soldiers were originally intended to change people's livelihood, but officials took the opportunity to exploit them layer by layer and finally changed their appearance. How can it be said that it is the fault of innovation?"

Shen Kuo chuckled: "After reading Mr. Gao, I know that things are not less than what I thought. What you said is also wrong. Some people are not good at doing things, but some people want to break the rules and some people want to maintain. At this time, if the host is swaying left and right, he wants to make a compromise. The final result is probably what I said. The real change is that the branches and leaves are the surface, and the benefits of the roots remain unchanged. If the roots are not uprooted, the big tree becomes hollow and tight enough to maintain the roots and then develop.”

Shen Kuo's words are meaningful, and when Shen Kuo looked at Gao Yu, he seemed to be waiting for something

The corner of Gao Yu's mouth twitched: "Shen Jinglue, the head of the Salt Gang, how can I understand such a state affairs? This Yongle City was just to find some business opportunities for the Salt Gang. I just happened to meet a boy general who took me here by accident. What you said is too deep for me."

"I'm afraid Mr. Gao didn't look at me so erroneously."

Gao Yu looked directly at Shen Kuo, and Shen Kuo suddenly stretched out his index finger and middle finger to make a 2 gesture: "I will say two more things, if Mr. Gao still doesn't understand what I mean, I have to ask you to leave the city."

Seeing that Gao Yu didn't speak, Shen Kuo stood up and paced behind his back in the room for a long time, and said, "During the ten years of Xining's reform, many people took advantage of the prince's enthusiasm for innovation and took the implementation of the new policy as a fast way to rise. In the end, the reform failed and turned against each other It's a pity that King Zhennan left early, otherwise with his prestige and the loyal servants around him, how could such a situation happen?" He blinked and looked at Gao Yu after speaking.

Gao Yu heard these things not once, although he also thought that the reason for the failure was that his father was unkind, but if there was Zhao Xu's connivance, how could he encounter so many deceptions? What made Gao Yu most angry was that Zhao Xu crossed the river and demolished the bridge He charged himself and his father as "treacherous" ministers, but Gao Yu looked at Shen Kuo's hesitant expression and wondered if Shen Kuo saw something.

"Shen Jinglue, is this the first thing?"

"It was exactly that Wang Xianggong had two sons, and the second son was the later Zhennan Wang. He was caught in a fire when he was young, and he saved a man from the fire. This man was Su Shi. You know Su Shi."

"of course I know "

"If you want to say that Su Shi owed two lives to the Wang family, the first one is the fire. The second one is that Su Shi played with the court and ridiculed state affairs. He wrote a poem: Reading thousands of volumes without reading the law, satirizing the emperor with the law to teach, Supervise the officials; but the only thing in the world is to sting the dragon from the root to the Jiuquanqu After talking about this matter, he urgently wrote a letter to persuade Song Shenzong: If there is a saintly world, kill talented scholars, so that Su Shi can save his life."

How could it be like this? My uncle is too careless. How many people are there?"

Shen Kuo nodded: "Yes, it's actually a literary prison on the surface, but in fact, although the innovation has been declared a failure, the real struggle has just begun. Ten years of grievances are being contested. It would be great if someone like Zhennan Wang who can control the overall situation appears at this time."

Gao Yu smiled noncommittally: "Is this the second thing Shen Jinglue told me?"

Shen Kuo shook his head with a smile: "No, but I guess the second thing I tell you, son, you will definitely not leave Yongle City."
