A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1040: Etiquette, Righteousness and Integrity

Sleeping in the upper court is common in Changchao, but it is rare here.

Zhao Shu's eyes were not good, and the ministers and ministers had smiles on their lips, just waiting to watch the fun.

Bao Zheng's eyes were about to burst into flames, and it seemed that he had to be careful about being chased after going to court.

That guy Zhao Xu is actually pretending to be honest...

Who said Xiao Guanyin just now?

Isn't it this guy?

Shen An's mind was spinning rapidly, but Zhao Shu asked surreptitiously: "You haven't gone to court recently, and I haven't arranged anything for you. Did you become a thief last night? Well!"

Han Qi raised his eyebrows and said: "Probably...I heard that many new people have come to the brothels in the city recently..."

I don’t engage in prostitution!

Shen An said innocently: "Your Majesty, last night... I thought about the Jiaozhi envoy last night. I felt that this matter seemed minor, but it could profoundly affect the future development and planning of the Song Dynasty. The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became. , the more I think about it, the more excited I become...the more I can’t sleep.”

Han Qi sneered, Fu Bi lowered his head, and Bao Zheng stroked his beard and nodded, very pleased...

Zhao Shu snorted and asked, "The prime ministers and ministers are discussing this matter. Come and talk about it."

Shen An wiped the corner of his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the Jiaozhi envoy was originally returning to his country, but he turned around halfway. This is unreasonable. He put a knife on his neck before he turned around. Why did he do this? So anxious? Because the navy has set off, Jiaozhi is going to be in trouble. If he goes back now, he will probably fall behind the navy. By then, Li Rizun, who is in a state of distress after being harassed by the Song navy, will kill him!"

"I know this." Zhao Shu felt that Shen Ping'an was talking nonsense.

"Really?" Shen An said very calmly: "Your Majesty, when the envoy from the city was returning, there were many weapons accompanying him... The envoy from Jiaozhi noticed it."

"Um?"

Zhao Shu frowned and said: "Aren't you careful in every possible way? How did you get noticed?"

The envoy from Jiaozhi refused to leave after the meeting. The envoy from Occupy realized that something was wrong and thought that Jiaozhi was not a good bird. Let's stay and see what he wanted to do.

As a result, the envoys from Jiaozhi were in a desperate situation, and the envoys from Occupy immediately expressed their loyalty to the Song Dynasty. Zhao Shulongyan was delighted and ordered Shen An to negotiate, and a batch of weapons were sold to Zhancheng.

"The envoys who occupied the city were frightened, worried that the Cochin people would target them. Now...the envoys who occupied the city are already on their way back."

Damn it!

Zhao Shu said in embarrassment: "This matter... the Jiaozhi envoys made a fuss because they saw this matter clearly. Do you think the Song Dynasty will be embarrassed?"

The prime ministers and assistants all nodded.

Well, Zhao Shu, Champa and Jiaozhi are not friends. What do you want to do by selling weapons to them privately? Want them to give Cochin a try?

This strategy is a conspiracy, but it is extremely effective and cannot be destroyed.

But now that they were discovered, the envoys who occupied the city were worried that they would be attacked by Jiaozhi, so they slipped back again. This was thanks to the Song Dynasty.

"Why is it embarrassing?"

Only Han Qi said very puzzledly: "Jiaozhi is the enemy of the Song Dynasty. How can the Song Dynasty deal with them? Why is it embarrassing?"

This is the good thing about Lao Han. Once he faces an enemy, he will turn into a gangster and throw away any rules or moral integrity.

"This matter... The Song Dynasty has been established for many years, and etiquette is still required." Zhao Shu is an emperor. Since ancient times, emperors of China have been respectful, and he is no exception.

"Your Majesty, you have face. The Song Dynasty used to talk about face, but do the Liao people want face? Does the rebellious Li family of Xixia want face? There is also Jiaozhi. They were burning, killing and looting in the southwest of the Song Dynasty. Our envoys went to Jiaozhi. They Do you want face?"

Han Qi was angry, waving the wat board and roaring: "My experience over the years tells me that you can't be ashamed when dealing with foreign vassals. If you want face, they will be shameless, and then take the opportunity to benefit from the Song Dynasty... "

"How many examples... since the Han and Tang dynasties, how many examples have been done to harm the country?" Han Qi said sadly: "But what did you get in the end? When he was weak, those outside the vassal licked their lips and rushed in with long knives. The Central Plains, kill our soldiers and enslave our people... Your Majesty, to the outside world..."

Han Qi slowly knelt down and said seriously: "Don't worry about your face!"

Han Qi's kneeling made Zhao Shu stunned, and he immediately thought deeply.

The former man is shameless. Whenever he is bullied, he will not hesitate to take revenge. When we can't take revenge, we will hold it in until we have a strong army... Hehe, come on, I will kill you!

The former Tang Dynasty was worse. He lacked the shameless energy of the former Han Dynasty and trusted foreign vassals as generals. In the end, he was unlucky.

Therefore, from the perspective of the Han and Tang dynasties, the real heroes are those who are shameless to others.

But generally speaking, the Han and Tang Dynasties were better than the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was troubled by the reputation.

Han Qi's words were shocking to Zhao Shu.

He said slowly: "Han Qing, get up."

Han Qi was too fat and trembled when he stood up, making people worried that he would collapse.

Zhao Shu looked at him, nodded and said: "Peace of mind, peace of mind. Someone once told me about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and what they said was ridiculous, but I just asked, can a person with high morals be an emperor?"

For wool!

If you play with high moral standards, foreign enemies will just laugh out loud.

"I don't know how to be the Duke of Song Dynasty." Zhao Shu sneered: "Now there is an idea that emperors, generals, ministers, people and soldiers should guard their own proportions and positions and not act rashly. Such a stable structure of the Song Dynasty can last for thousands of generations. .”

Why does this seem familiar?

Shen An was a little confused.

Everyone should guard their own proportions and positions, and should not exceed the rules. How can this look like making a clay sculpture of a Bodhisattva?

Is it necessary to have such a social structure where everything is framed?

Need yarn!

The biggest risk contained in these words is class solidification.

What does it mean not to act rashly?

The emperor's son is an emperor, and the son of a prime minister is a prime minister?

Damn it!

Shen An was also angry and said: "Your Majesty, these people are so stupid that even a corrupt scholar cannot describe them. They should be kicked out!"

"I have already driven him to Qiongzhou. I think the natives there will like him."

Zhao Shu's words sent chills down people's spines.

But Shen An was very happy.

There are a lot of natives in Qiongzhou now. Go ahead and tell those natives these truths. I think the official family will be happy. ,

"Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty flows smoothly up and down, and people can move around. This is why the Song Dynasty has such a prosperous scene today. If it were all framed, I can't imagine it."

Bao Zheng felt that such people were rotten Confucians, "This kind of people cannot be officials in the future, even if they teach, otherwise they will cause endless disasters."

Zhao Shu nodded, feeling that Bao Zheng had a high understanding, "That's it, I asked the Imperial City Division to clean up, and finally cleaned up more than ten people, and sent them all to Qiongzhou. I think that in a few decades, Qiongzhou's people will be better. simple."

Zhao Shu is not Zhao Zhen. His problem is that he is stingy. If you make him angry, he will find a way to deal with you.

"I order Guo Qian to conduct a self-examination within Taixue, and drive out any professors who are so stupid."

Taixue is the highest academic institution in the Song Dynasty. If this kind of thinking gets involved, Zhao Shu will cry after more than ten years.

"Mangshan Academy and Clan Academy..." Zhao Shu looked at Shen An.

Shen An said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although miscellaneous studies do not involve politics, teachers and students all know one thing: you cannot study rote books."

Anyone who dares to fool those students will probably get their head smashed with rotten eggs.

Zhao Shu nodded with satisfaction, "In dealing with foreign vassals, the Song Dynasty must be tough and not retreat."

This is the tone.

Shen An raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry."

Zhao Shu looked at him and smiled, thinking that this guy was bold and extremely tough to the outside world.

"Internally... etiquette, justice and integrity are the four dimensions of a country. If the four dimensions are not upheld, the country will perish." Zhao Shu knew very well what was needed internally in the Song Dynasty: "To cultivate the people's morals, not to mention not closing the house at night, at least to make it impossible for those who ignore etiquette, justice and integrity to survive. In this way, everyone above and below will be proud of being trustworthy and ashamed of being shameless... Within fifty years, there will be great governance."

Keep it!

Shen An felt that this couldn't be more correct.

The foundation of a country is its folk customs. If the folk customs are strong, then it will not be afraid of invasion by foreign enemies. This was the case in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

If the people are cunning, put profit first in everything, and do not know etiquette, justice and shame... the Song Dynasty will inevitably go downhill after a long time.

Zhao Shu was in his thirties and was at the peak of his physical and mental state. When he saw the prime ministers and ministers nodding, Shen An was even happy, so he smiled and said: "The Song Dynasty reaffirms the contract. This is a good thing. In the future, we will be more serious about not abiding by it." The penalty in the contract must be severe!”

The Song Dynasty relies on contracts to do things. Once the two parties make a contract, you can feel at ease and don't have to worry about being breached.

Paying attention to contracts allowed the Song Dynasty's business to flourish and social integrity gradually improved. This was the foundation of the Song Dynasty.

The ministers bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise."

"The matter of the Jiaozhi envoy... Shen An should go take a look." The ministers and ministers had no way to deal with this matter, so it would be better to let Shen An go there shamelessly.

Zhao Shu realized some more ways to be a king.

After the court ended later, Shen An ran away quickly, making Bao Zheng behind him so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

When they arrived at the Privy Council, they saw many people outside the imperial city. Shen An went over and asked, "What's going on?"

When the sergeant guarding the gate saw him coming, he said, "Mr. Shen, the envoys from Champa and Jiaozhi are fighting!"

Damn it!

Shen An quickly rushed out and squeezed into the crowd.

In the middle of the crowd, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net The face of the envoy who occupied the city was blue and purple, and his nosebleed was sparsely flowing down.

The Jiaozhi envoy's eyes were swollen from the beating. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't forget, Champa City was almost destroyed. If it weren't for the kindness of Emperor Taizong of our country, Champa City would have been gone long ago."

At that time, Li Dezheng led his army to personally conquer the city and defeated the city. It was said to be a massacre.

The envoy who occupied the city raised his head and said: "The Song Dynasty is here now. Come back if you have the ability."

Come on, the main supporter of occupying the city now is the Song Dynasty. If Jiaozhi has the ability, come and try to attack it.

The people around him looked proud, thinking that this was a symbol of the power of the Song Dynasty.

Only Shen An knew that this was a scapegoat.

The situation in Central and South China is very complicated. Cochin and Chenla are occupied, and the three countries are attacking each other. No one is innocent.

The envoy who occupied the city wanted Song Dynasty to take the blame. Shen An was not afraid, but just felt unhappy.

Madan, did you give me the money? If you want Da Song to come forward without giving you money, who will care about you?

After the envoy to capture the city finished speaking, he looked at the gate of the imperial city and thought, since we have already talked about this, someone from the Song Dynasty must have come out.

"Can't you get out?"

The ministers and ministers also came to watch the fun.

Han Qi said angrily: "That boy Shen An has already squeezed in. He is cunning. With him here, the Song Dynasty will not suffer. They are just waiting to watch the fun."

Everyone nodded. When it came to this, no one doubted Shen An's integrity and methods.

The Occupy envoy over there was tough because this was outside the imperial city. He felt that since the Song Dynasty sold weapons to him, he must support the occupation of the city.

What about Keren?

He looked at the city gate. There were all heads, but no one came.

This...isn't right!

The envoy from Jiaozhi didn't understand what was going on. He yelled and rushed over. He punched the envoy from Jiaocheng until his nose started to bleed. The two immediately started beating each other with bastard punches.
