A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Bet once and you will be rich for three generations!"

"Don't be a sinner to your descendants, work hard, work hard!"

…

Get up early in the morning, wash up, have breakfast, and then go to the front to host the court meeting.

This is the beginning of the emperor's day, very busy, but also very fulfilling.

The breakfast is very rich, with five dishes, and the staple food is pancakes.

Cutting open the pancake and putting vegetables in it is Zhao Shu’s favorite way of eating these days.

Taking a bite of the cooking cake, Zhao Shu nodded slightly.

Standing beside him was Chen Zhongheng, holding a brochure in his hand. When he saw Zhao Shu nodding, he said: "The privy envoy from the Liao people has been replaced... Yang Ji has been replaced..."

Zhao Shu nodded, then took a sip of soup, feeling very comfortable.

"... Zhizhi Gaozu Wu Ze made a suggestion, saying that Zhongshu should not be in the east, but should be exchanged with his subordinates..."

"A woman was killed in Shangyu County, Yuezhou while protecting her grandmother..."

Zhao Shu raised his head and said, "This is a reward."

"yes."

Chen Zhongheng remembered it and would remind Zhao Shu later before going to court.

He continued to read the booklet, then was startled and said: "In the early morning, the prince and Shen An took people to the clan academy..."

Um?

Zhao Shu thought of his father's unreliability and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"It is said that the students in the academy are unwilling to study hard, and their elders are very worried. They say they were given free money and are afraid that they will not learn anything when they come out... There is quite a bit of complaint."

This means something.

But everyone likes to shirk responsibility.

So once these students fail to become talented, then this will be an excuse to shirk the problem, and then there will be a quarrel.

Zhao Shu said coldly: "The whole day has been full of such stupid things, and I can't even have a stable meal... Han Qi and the others said yesterday that the merit of enlightenment is the first. If that's the case, I'll tell them later. , let them educate and educate.”

Chen Zhongheng whispered: "The official family, the academy has already calmed down..."

done?

Zhao Shu felt that his breakfast was really not easy, "I want to eat!"

He doesn't care about the life and death of those clan members at all. It's best to rush them all to Qiongzhou, out of sight but out of mind.

As he spoke, he felt his eyelids became numb, trembled slightly, and the back of his head began to feel numb.

Why did you get sick?

Zhao Shu was very melancholy. The numbness in his scalp was so uncomfortable that it made him feel tight in his heart.

After breakfast, he walked slowly to the front.

When the king and his ministers meet, what is the special thing...

"Your Majesty, someone said this morning..." Zeng Gongliang felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he wanted to liven up the situation, "It was said that Wuxue Lane was noisy until dawn last night, and no one in the street could sleep."

Han Qi said: "Is it the clan academy? I heard that the prince and Shen An went there, and many people from the Imperial City Department also went there."

"Really?" Ouyang Xiu was not well informed.

Bao Zheng ignored him.

Zhao Shu didn't want to talk to him, but he felt very uncomfortable now, and something was wrong with him.

He suppressed his temper and his eyelids twitched, "Chen Zhongheng!"

"yes."

Chen Zhongheng keenly realized that something was wrong with the official family, so he came out very cautiously and said: "Last night the prince and Shen An went to the clan academy. Shen An ordered the students from Mangshan Academy to assemble and rushed into the dormitories of the clan sons in the early morning. Inside, they were beaten out with random sticks..."

Very fierce!

The prime ministers and ministers looked at each other, feeling that the combination of Zhao Yunrang and Shen An might turn Bianliang City upside down.

"The students were very excited, and Shen An's words turned the crisis around... Now those students are in class, and they are very energetic."

After Chen Zhongheng finished speaking dryly, he looked up and saw several pairs of angry eyes.

what does this mean?

He shuddered and stepped back.

"That's it?" Han Qi said dissatisfied: "What did he say?"

Ouyang Xiu said: "Those clan members are not good at making trouble. It is their nature to find trouble. Just a few words can make their anger dissipate and make them go to class in high spirits. What are you talking about?"

Chen Zhongheng shook his head, "That's all the information the Imperial City Division gave me."

Han Qi said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Zhang Baibian has neglected his duty."

Zhao Shu felt his scalp was getting hot, "Go and let Zhang come here."

Zhang Baibian came soon. After hearing this question, he said: "Those people sent by the minister were very energetic when they came back, but Shen An didn't say anything... He just said something like "bet once, rich third generation..." "

puff!

Zeng Gongliang couldn't help laughing.

"What is this?" Ouyang Xiu, as the leader of the literary world, felt that such words were too outrageous.

"Somewhat like market slang."

"I think there's something fishy about this!"

"How about... let's go take a look tomorrow morning?"

Zeng Gongliang felt that this matter might be a bit strange, and he would not feel at ease unless he understood it clearly.

Bao Zheng said: "Shen An has such abilities."

That's all he said, and then he kept silent.

That was when Shen An first arrived in Bianliang. He heard that someone was gathering to make trouble, so he took people there. As a result, he saw young Shen An instigating the vendors. The scene is still fresh in his memory.

That young man really has the ability to confuse people. If Shen An hadn't been young at that time and had Guo Guo with him, Lao Bao would have wanted to capture him at that time.

Now that young man has become a minister of the Song Dynasty and has made numerous meritorious deeds, which makes Bao Zheng feel grateful for his original decision.

It’s a good thing we didn’t catch him!

Moreover, he himself relied on Shen An to survive until now. Thinking about it, he really... looked back at Guo Guo and listened to what she was mumbling.

A kind smile appeared on Bao Zheng's face. The emperor and his ministers were looking at him, thinking that this person was probably outside the realm of the gods.

This is the court, and you are distracted...

"Everyone get out!"

Zhao Shu suddenly closed his eyes and waved his hands with a painful expression, "Hurry, everyone, get out!"

Well!

Han Qi was startled. He stepped forward and asked, "Is your Majesty sick? Come here, call the imperial doctor. Hurry..."

Chen Zhongheng did not move.

Han Qi was furious and smashed the Wat board.

Chen Zhongheng reacted quickly. As soon as he tilted his head, the wat board whizzed past.

A chamberlain was thinking about how to use this opportunity to gain Zhao Shu's favor. As he lowered his head and thought, he felt the light and shadow in front of him shaking, so he looked up.

Something suddenly flew over...

Boom!

He covered his forehead, and when he let go, a bag was taking shape there.

"rude!"

Zhao Shu's eyes were full of anxiety and anger, and he shouted: "Get out! Get out!"

He clenched his hands into fists, clearly trying his best to endure it.

Han Qi asked in surprise: "What's going on?"

Why did the official's mood suddenly change so drastically?

Is this an illness?

"roll!"

Zhao Shu suddenly grabbed something with both hands, and then he caught something and threw it over.

Han Qi caught the thing quickly and saw that it was a jade pendant.

"I'll take my leave."

We can't stay any longer at this time, but why did the official family fall ill?

After they went out, Zhao Shu leaned back in his chair, breathing rapidly, as if he had just run all the way from outside the city.

"His Majesty……"

Chen Zhongheng felt that his illness seemed to be more serious this time.

"Everyone get out!"

Zhao Shu waved his hands, still holding back.

Chen Zhongheng was stunned for a moment, then led the people out of the hall.

Zhao Shu looked up and saw that Chen Zhongheng was the last one to disappear outside the hall, and his body relaxed.

His breathing gradually changed, his inhalation was subtle, and his exhalation was short, like a breath of exhaustion.

A feeling of despair hit his heart. Zhao Shu lowered his head, covering his face with his hands, and his body was shaking slightly.

The situation in the Song Dynasty has never been better than before, but with this step by step, Zhao Shu has been burdened with countless pressures, pressures that others cannot imagine.

Just like during Renzong's Qingli New Deal, those opponents swarmed up and put pressure on the emperor in the palace from all aspects.

The people from the Imperial City Department are monitoring all this and will report it after a while.

The officials and the gentry were all dissatisfied. They felt that this was a silent revolution. No one shouted about new policies or shouted slogans, but the changes in the Song Dynasty were happening quietly.

They are like ground rats, hiding under the gutter, possessing power and wealth, but the New Deal has lifted the stone slab covering the gutter.

What these gophers fear most is the sun. They are accustomed to hiding in the darkness, constantly peeling flesh and blood from Da Song's body, and enjoying it gracefully.

But now the stone slab above their heads has been lifted a little, and a ray of light shines down, making them feel the crisis.

So someone was connecting in series, and gradually, there was a lot of noise in the memorials pouring in.

These officials began to vaguely point out the disadvantages of a certain innovation, and they also added examples with great experience in struggle. For example, the victims of the disaster in a certain place were not turned into Xiang soldiers, and several of them starved to death.

Subsequently, many people pointed to this matter and made comments, mostly hoping to continue the original policy.

Zhao Shu ignored it and even had several boxes of memorials burned to spread the news.

I don't want to hear this!

But the signal he sent failed to stop these forces.

Those people began to comment on various new policies, saying that people in a certain place were affected by this policy and their livelihoods were in dire straits. If this continued, the Song Dynasty would be over.

Zhao Shu still ignored it, so those remarks gradually became more intense.

This is a sign before the storm comes.

Zhao Shu ignored it, and there will be more and more people in the next step.

Naturally, one or two opponents cannot shake the situation, but what will happen when tens of millions of opponents appear?

Zhao Shu took a few deep breaths and slowly massaged the side and back of his head.

He hummed softly as he felt soreness, his eyes were closed, but his eyelids were trembling rapidly.

"Let Zhang come for eight years."

Chen Zhongheng responded loudly outside: "Yes, I will go right away. UUReading www.uukｎshu.net"

The official is sick and cannot make mistakes at this time.

Chen Zhongheng ran out wildly.

Later he and Zhang Baibian entered the palace together.

"Official..."

Zhang Baibian discovered something was wrong with Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu leaned back with his whole body relaxed and said calmly: "How are those people?"

"Those people are connecting with each other, and some of them are the most active, running around..."

Zhang had been staring at those people for eight years, but he did not dare to act rashly.

"They want me to be subdued, just like the late emperor during the Qingli New Deal..."

Zhao Shu gradually sneered, "Their method is to have more people, and then they make noise, no, it's noise! ​​They made a fuss together, with great momentum, and then worriedly said that if this continues, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed by my hands... …”

This will be the case for Wang Anshi's reforms in the future, with countless opponents from top to bottom. The officials in the court had no choice but to quarrel, but local officials started to make noises, saying that the New Deal disturbed and harmed the people... If it was not abolished, the Song Dynasty would be doomed.

There were many unsatisfactory aspects of the New Deal, but when Sima Guang came to power and abolished the new laws, the position of the opponents became clear.

——We are not doing it for the people, but for our position!

It’s easy to say that you should serve the country and the people, but how many people can actually do it?

However, neither Zhao Xu nor Wang Anshi were weak, and they stood firm and refused to retreat.

But when this opposition force became stronger and stronger, the Song Dynasty... was in turmoil!

Now Zhao Shu has felt all this in advance, but it is not as much pressure as Zhao Xu at that time.

"They underestimated me!"

Zhao Shu's eyes gradually became firmer, and he said firmly, having eased his anxiety and depression: "I will not be afraid! I will not back down even half a step!"
