A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

After appointing the two bosses, Zhao Shu stood up and said: "Today there is an additional prime minister and an additional third minister. I think the ministers have some ideas. So, if there is nothing to do this afternoon, please rest."

This allows the ministers to just go and celebrate if they want to.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

It was very satisfying to be an important minister of the Song Dynasty. Not only the salary was generous, but also the officials would often give me some benefits.

The ministers slowly left the hall and congratulated the two new bosses.

Bao Zheng smiled and said: "If you are willing to go, I will treat you."

"Let's go together."

No one would refuse a treat from the new Prime Minister unless he wanted to enmity.

Even Cai Xiang laughed and said: "In this case, I took advantage of Bao Xiang's help and saved money."

Everyone burst into laughter, but Shen An said: "I heard that Mr. Cai's calligraphy is unparalleled in the world, and my sister-in-law loves it very much. Shen took the liberty... I wonder if Mr. Cai can leave a few calligraphy paintings so that his descendants can copy them."

Cai Xiang's calligraphy was very famous, and he was later called the Four Masters of Song Dynasty.

The so-called four families of Song Dynasty are: Su, Huang, Mi and Cai.

Cai Xiang said very kindly: "It's just a small matter. You can come to Sansi to pick it up later... Sansi Baoxiang originally checked the room. I think you won't find the wrong one, right?"

It stands to reason that when Cai Xiang took over as the Third Chief of Staff, he could have changed his duty, and it would be regarded as a new person with a new attitude. However, he used Bao Zheng's original duty, which was a sign of goodwill.

"Thank you Mr. Cai."

Shen An looked backward and very excited.

Cai Xiang's heart moved slightly, and later she walked with Wang Anshi and said this, "This Shen An is both civil and military at a young age. Most people who have reached this level will probably be unwilling to learn, but he is so eager to learn." , it’s rare!”

Wang Anshi nodded and said: "Mr. Shen An knows that this young man has pioneered miscellaneous studies and is now teaching students in the academy... It is certain that he is eager to learn. It is said that he also practices calligraphy very hard..."

Cai Xiang liked young people who were eager to learn. He stroked his beard and said, "Not bad, I will write more words later."

Liu Zhan followed behind. Hearing this, he couldn't bear it anymore and said, "I'm afraid Prime Minister Cai doesn't know that Shen An likes to ask for pens and ink from people..."

Shen An also created a lot of Wang Anshi's pen and ink, some of which were shamelessly requested, and some of which were created by Wang Yuliyingwai...

Wang Anshi just laughed when he found out. He felt that this young man was eager to learn, which was really rare. Sometimes he would write a few more words and put them there for his son to bring to Shen An.

Cai Xiang's calligraphy was unparalleled in the world at that time. Su Shi couldn't put it down, and Ouyang Xiu was even more addicted to it.

If his calligraphy were exchanged for money, he could crush Su Shi.

But how can a literati talk about money?

What an elegant thing, talk about money in a vulgar way.

Cai Xiang smiled and said, "It's just a small matter."

Liu Zhan smiled and said: "It's a small matter, but Shen An... I heard him say that he was doing calligraphy and painting everywhere in order to leave it to his descendants... If the descendants don't live up to expectations, they can sell these calligraphy and paintings in time, and I think they can get a lot of money. How much money...can you exchange for a big plane? I don’t know what a big plane is..."

puff!

Cai Xiang was dumbfounded, and so was Wang Anshi.

Cai Xiang felt that most people would not do this, but Shen An... wasn't he very rich?

yes!

Wang Anshi also thought of this, and said coldly: "Xueshi Liu is overthinking. Shen An is rich, so there is no need for this."

Cai Xiang also thought this was the case, so he despised Liu Zhan in his heart, and the two walked away.

Liu Zan stood there, looking confused.

This is true! I heard what Shen An and his servant said with my own ears, why don't you believe it?

Later, a group of big guys gathered in a restaurant in the capital to have fun.

Shen An was also honored to attend and served drinks to the big guys.

"Speak freely today. If anyone dares to spread the word, I will put him in a dilemma of life and death!" Han Qi's words were like a knife, and the shopkeepers and waiters of the restaurant were a little scared.

A group of important ministers and old hooligans stared at the shopkeeper, who trembled and said, "Don't worry, gentlemen, these people... I personally serve your gentlemen. If anything is spread, it will be the villain's sin."

The restaurant has been booked, the chef is cooking, and the shopkeeper himself is acting as a waiter. As for the waiters... they are all on leave.

The shopkeeper ran back and forth between the kitchen and the room, but the food could only be delivered outside the door, with the entourage of the prime ministers and assistants delivering it in. After several attempts, he was exhausted. When he was sitting on the stairs to rest, the door was suddenly opened from the outside.

"who?"

The shopkeeper stood up and cursed: "Which maggot crawled out of the cesspit... Isn't it for you to have a rest... Who are you?"

Outside the door, the skinny Zhang Ba8a looked inside coldly, and then turned sideways when he felt that there was no problem.

This stance is huge!

The shopkeeper who came down was a little dizzy, "The shop is full today... Why don't you go look elsewhere?"

Zhao Shu walked in, followed by Zhang Baibian, who closed the door and said to the shopkeeper: "Go to their next door and don't make any noise, otherwise we will go back to the Imperial City Division to talk."

The shopkeeper's eyelids twitched as he thought of the rumored man and glanced at Zhao Shu.

Zhang Baibian of the Imperial City Division is as skinny as a man...

So who is this man?

He shuddered, "This... villain doesn't dare!"

If you can't prove your identity, no one will let you in.

At this time, a person came out from above, but it was Shen An.

"Um...why are you here?"

Shen An was a little surprised to see Zhao Shu, and immediately looked at Zhang Ba8.

Zhang Baba said calmly: "Mr. Lang wants to come for a drink."

Tsk tsk! This official family wants to hear the gossip of the prime ministers and ministers, right?

Shen An said to the shopkeeper: "Hurry up and make arrangements. Don't be lazy, or you will be shut down later."

Shen An acted as a guarantee, and the shopkeeper already knew it. He said in a trembling voice: "Those followers..."

Shen An said: "They can't see the one at the corner, so just open that one."

Zhao Shu glanced at him and nodded slightly, feeling that this kid was really smart.

Shen An smiled and said: "Listen slowly... uh! No, eat slowly."

He also drank some wine and got a little excited, so he said the wrong thing.

Zhao Shu had black streaks all over his head, wishing he was in the palace so he could punish this guy.

When Shen An went back later, the atmosphere inside was extremely lively.

Although Bao Zheng was the last prime minister, he took the first place today.

Everyone toasted and congratulated one after another. Lao Baomian drank without changing his expression, gradually getting drunker.

Ouyang Xiu also drank too much, so he looked sideways at Bao Zheng and said, "You have become the last prime minister, promoted by His Majesty, but do you still dare to impeach and admonish?"

There is a trap in what he said. If Bao Zheng dared to say it, Zhao Shu would feel uncomfortable if he knew it.

This is Zhengshitang's show of force and wine. Old Bao drank too much, and Shen An was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take it. Just when he was about to come forward, Bao Zheng drank a glass of wine and said calmly: "What does it mean to dare? People are responsible for everything in this world. If there is injustice, whether it is the emperor or the people, I will stand up and roar! "

He stared at Ouyang Xiu, frowned and said: "Officials, no matter high or low, should know that the people are precious, and don't always stare at the emperor... When you have time, look at the people and the sufferings of the people, that is the way to be a minister. .”

pretty!

Shen An glanced at the wall on the left, where Zhao Shu was sitting, and he listened to all these words one by one.

In this round of battle, Ouyang Xiu was completely defeated and Bao Zheng was completely victorious.

When Zeng Gongliang saw Ouyang Xiu slumped over his drink, he laughed and said, "There are many things in the political hall, and they are complicated. They are responsible for both civil and military affairs. Those who are in poor health may not be able to withstand it."

Old Bao, you are over sixty, can you still hold on?

Bao Zheng raised his glass and drank three glasses in a row.

Zeng Gongliang was given three cups of wine, and his eyes turned green.

His ability to drink was not good to begin with. He drank a lot before, and now he drank three glasses of wine, and he suddenly had an attack.

"I want to vomit..."

"Get out quickly!"

Han Qi waved his hand, and someone helped Zeng Gongliang out to vomit.

In this round, Zeng Gongliang was completely defeated.

Han Qi felt a little embarrassed, so he said: "The affairs of the Zhengshi Hall are inextricably linked. From the king to the ministers, you need to know something about everything..."

Lao Bao, do you have enough experience reserves?

Bao Zheng raised his glass, and drank three glasses in a row, making Han Qi roll his eyes, and then said: "How about I stay in Sansi?"

Han Qi held back vomiting and said, "Okay!"

Bao Zheng did indeed do a good job in the Third Division, much better than the previous ones, and Zhengshitang benefited a lot from this.

Han Qi can't do anything else, but he is proud and refuses to tell lies.

Bao Zheng continued: "In the eighth year of Jiayou, a certain leader defeated Li Liangzuo in Yuanzhou. In the second year of Zhiping, a certain leader defeated Yelu Hongji at Yanmen Pass... In these two battles, I ignored the battle, but I controlled the overall situation. How about it?"

In civil affairs, he has the achievements of three departments, which is a solid practice.

In martial arts, he has the record of leading the army in these two campaigns. Even if he is only the commander-in-chief, he can still be proud of his colleagues.

Han Qi's complexion changed slightly, feeling that he was a bit humiliating himself, but pride drove him to nod and said: "You are good."

The people in Zhengshitang wanted to give newcomer Bao Zheng a show of strength, but who would have thought that Bao Zheng completed three kills.

Bao Zheng stood there, head slightly raised...

The old man asked who else was there? !

At this moment, Bao Zheng's eyes were as bright as lightning, how could he look a bit old-fashioned?

Next door, Zhao Shu nodded slightly and toasted.

Bao Zheng is good!

The key is that there is a new person in the political hall, a new person who will not join Han Qi and others. This is what makes Zhao Shu relieved.

The purpose of his coming out today was achieved, so he was ready to go back.

As soon as the door opened, Zhang Baba went out first, and then stood aside to let Zhao Shu come out.

"vomit!"

Zeng Gongliang was vomiting. Zhao Shu glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and then left quietly.

…

The Xixia envoy came again, galloping all the way, and rushed into Bianliang City on the third day after Bao Zheng took office as the last prime minister.

"The envoy went crazy and had a conflict with the sergeant guarding the door. Then he hugged the sergeant and said crazily that he was a good brother and was waiting outside to see him."

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Let him come."

Is this to express gratitude?

Zhao Shu smiled, and after waiting for the envoy to come in and salute, he said pleasantly: "Why are you so anxious?"

The Xixia envoy said respectfully: "The king asked the foreign ministers to express Xixia's gratitude to the Song Dynasty. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net The king wished he could come to Bianliang immediately, but the Liao people were still invading, so he did not dare to take it lightly. Leave……"

Zhao Shu nodded and said, "I understand."

This was considered to have completed the procedure, but the Xixia envoy said impolitely: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister hopes to meet the Guixin Hou."

"He is now a county official."

Bao Zheng was a little dissatisfied and felt that Shen An's title should be higher.

This reward is too stingy.

The envoy smiled and said: "That's not a coincidence. County Duke Shen is at Yanmen Pass...Your Majesty, Yelu Hongji killed several generals...and even vomited blood in anger."

"What?" Han Qi was overjoyed and asked, "Did you really vomit blood?"

The envoy said proudly: "We have spies in the Liao army. They saw Yelu Hongji vomiting blood on the spot... After a few days, they killed several generals on the pretext."

Zhao Shu looked at Bao Zheng and motioned for him to confirm.

Bao Zheng was the coordinator of that war, and he was the only one qualified to make the decision.

Bao Zheng nodded, and Zhao Shu felt so comfortable that he wanted to laugh.

Yelu Hongji, Yelu Hongji, do you also have this day?

"Ha ha ha ha……"

After all, he couldn't hold it back and laughed.

Han Qi said with a smile: "The Liao emperor lost the battle and actually vomited blood. It shows that the Liao people were completely courageous in this battle. Okay, okay! Hahahaha!"

All the ministers laughed heartily.

The Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji was defeated in the first battle, and the big stone on the Song Dynasty's head was somewhat moved away. Naturally, the monarchs and ministers couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Zhao Shu felt happy and ordered: "What about Shen An...his son is said to be very smart?"

Han Qi could not be more satisfied with Shen An at this moment, but even so, he still felt blushing after hearing these words.

A baby who is still sucking milk, why is he smart?
