A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

In Zhang Baibian's eyes, the earliest Shen An was a daring boy. If Bao Zheng hadn't been watching him, he would have been torn apart long ago.

Xiongzhou Shen, this name aroused ridicule at first, thinking that this boy was imitating the county commanders of Han and Tang Dynasties.

That’s Xiongzhou!

A city on the border between Song and Liao. The most important place there was the forging market between Song and Liao. Who would use it as their county magistrate?

But Shen An just used it.

Looking north to the country!

Shen Bian and Shen An's father and son looked north one after another. Shen Bian was criticized as a madman, but what about Shen An?

But gradually Shen An grew up, and his repeated meritorious deeds made him gradually break away from Bao Zheng's protection and stand alone in Bianliang.

Xiongzhou sinks!

It is difficult to make a name for yourself in Bianliang, but Shen An succeeded.

"Your Majesty, he has been preparing to deceive these powerful people from the beginning."

Zhang Baibian shook his head, "You should learn this from Shen An. With all due respect, the prince... in the future... cannot be too kind, he must be more ruthless and sinister..."

He has experienced two generations of emperors and knows how aggrieved the late emperor was. So he hopes that Zhao Xu will be tougher in the future.

Tougher than Zhao Shu!

This country does not have a strong emperor, and the future is still unclear. Count on those civil and military officials? Don't be ridiculous, as soon as power is given away, they will form cliques and fight, and use various methods to give you nightmares.

Without a strong emperor, nothing good will last. Those people will always find ways to subvert everything, and the purpose is only for their own interests.

Zhang Baibian sighed slightly.

Everyone in the Imperial City Department was investigating, except the emperor's family, so Zhang Baibian felt that it was necessary for Zhao Xu to learn from Shen An and be educated in such methods.

Zhao Xu's methods in the past seemed to him too childish and not enough. He had to imitate Shen An and be cruel and more sinister.

Zhao Xu looked at him, knowing that it was not easy for him to say these words, so he nodded and said: "The king...first of all, be kind, secondly, generous, ruthless, and evil..."

He shook his head shyly, as if he were an innocent boy.

Shen An, who almost vomited, stood up and said, "Get ready."

This guy is more sinister than anyone else!

…

In the tea house, Chen Ji was sitting in the main hall. The girls had gone home and no one stepped on the pedal, so the waterfall could not be reproduced.

Rows of musical instruments were placed there alone. Chen Ji sat next to a small drum and picked up the drumsticks.

Boom, boom, boom!

The drums started beating.

Two big men with indifferent expressions leaned against the wooden pillars, and one of them said: "Noisy."

Chen Ji shook his head and said, "Do you know the Prince Pill?"

The big man frowned and said: "There is no prince in the Song Dynasty. Do you want to be brought in by the Imperial City Secretary?"

No culture!

Chen Ji, a veteran liar, shook his head, "Thousands of years ago by the Yishui River, Gao Jianli built a building, Jing Ke sang loudly, and his breath turned into a rainbow... Do you know what building is?"

The two big men shook their heads.

How could a guy who doesn't even know Prince Dan know about an ancient musical instrument like Zhu.

Chen Ji pressed with his left hand and hit with a drumstick with his right hand...

"The shape is similar to that of a zither, with the left hand pressing and the right hand tapping..."

Boom...

When the drum beat started again, Chen Ji estimated the time and couldn't help but feel worried.

Someone came to deliver the news this afternoon, saying that the attack would take place tonight, but it is already night time!

Where are people?

He deceived many powerful people in Bianliang in one fell swoop. If he was exposed, he could only pray that he would have the courage to commit suicide.

If he wanted to take action, there would probably be a lot of noise, so he beat the drum to cover it up.

Mr. Shen, please don’t lose your moral integrity!

At this moment, Chen Ji used his many years of cheating career to swear that as long as he could escape and ascend to heaven this time, he would quit.

Who can the most powerful liar deceive?

Who is more powerful than him? He has deceived so many powerful people.

I think it will be very enjoyable to tell my descendants before I die.

The two big men were a little irritated by the lonely sound of the drum, and one of them walked over.

When he was halfway there, his steps stopped and he immediately looked up outside.

"What……"

A man in black stood outside the door, holding a bow and arrow, looking at him sharply.

Let go and the arrow flies out.

The big man put his hands on his throat and backed away with a chuckle.

Another big man raised his head when he heard the sound, and was about to scream when Chen Ji struck with a drumstick.

Boom!

The second arrow flew, but it was a crossbow arrow. The arrow penetrated directly from the big man's mouth.

Chen Ji jumped subconsciously, as if to avoid the precise crossbow arrow.

The man outside the door glanced inside, and then asked: "Chen Ji?"

Chen Ji was overjoyed, "Yes, he is a villain."

The man holding a crossbow next to the man said, "Is there anything else you want to take away?"

"Just some money." Chen Ji pointed to the bag beside him.

"How many?"

"A few hundred strings."

"Walk!"

The two men turned around, and Chen Ji was worried that he would be left behind, so he quickly followed them out.

All the way to the back, in the darkness, I could vaguely see a few men standing there holding long knives and bows and arrows. After seeing them, I stepped aside, revealing the tunnel behind.

It's actually authentic?

Ever since Shen An brought him to Bianliang, Chen Ji has been thinking about a way to escape.

Yes, he didn't even believe Shen An.

But the powerful are not fools, and there are many layers of defense inside and outside, leaving him nowhere to escape.

So how will Shen An save himself?

Chen Ji thought of countless ways, but never thought of digging a tunnel.

It’s really a big deal!

You could feel the humidity as you walked down the tunnel. Chen Ji looked back and saw what those black shadows were spreading, and the smell was a bit pungent.

It seems like kerosene?

This is to destroy all evidence.

It is indeed Mr. Shen County!

Keep walking along the tunnel, because of the height, you have to bend down.

When light appeared above his head again, Chen Ji saw a smiling face.

"I've met County Duke Shen."

He had been worried that he would be silenced, but with Shen An's arrival, this possibility disappeared.

As expected, he is County Duke Shen who convinces people with his virtue!

"Take him away and he won't be allowed to come out for a year."

Shen An's treatment seemed very harsh, but Chen Ji knelt down and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Shen. If something happens next time, I will still be willing to take action."

One year of grounding is enough for Shen An to smooth over the matter. In other words, Chen Ji will be free in one year.

Pay attention to people.

Shen An waved his hand and someone took Chen Ji away.

"The weather is nice!"

He looked up at the dark clouds and said, "Let's get started."

Huang Chun lit a small torch and threw it hard.

The small torch flew across the alley and into the opposite yard.

boom!

The fire burst into flames instantly and then spread rapidly.

"let's go."

Shen An took the lead and the group of people slipped away from the edge.

There were many people watching outside the tea house. They had nothing to do at night, either drinking or bragging. When they saw the flames rising, they all panicked.

"Firefighting!"

A big man climbed over the wall and someone shouted: "Good man, wait for me!"

Such heroes are naturally worthy of admiration, so the cries of good men are endless.

But when he rushed to the wall, the big man rolled back again.

Damn, what's going on?

"What a big fire!"

The big man's eyebrows were burned off and most of his hair was burnt brown.

The flames spread quickly, and the person next door shouted: "It's coming."

The shops here are next to each other. If one shop catches fire, the two adjacent ones are unlikely to be spared.

"Get out of the way!"

The people from the military inspection shop came, and the fire fighters also came, and an isolation belt was removed in just a few steps.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but someone suddenly frowned and said, "This fire... doesn't taste right!"

"That's not right."

"There seems to be kerosene."

Everyone sniffed and indeed smelled the smell of kerosene.

Some people looked at each other and then quietly retreated.

The news immediately reached those people's ears.

This is a trap!

At the same time, Shen An led the Mangshan Army into the night.

They galloped all the way and chased them outside a town early the next morning.

"Lang Jun, they are resting inside."

Several rural soldiers appeared quietly, and they had been watching from nearby since the convoy set off.

"Wait until they come out."

It's inappropriate to kill people in a town, it's too unscrupulous, and Zhao Shu won't be able to explain it to him at that time.

Zhao Xu yawned, tightened his cloak, and said, "Lock it down."

Shen An nodded, and some soldiers began to move away. They were wearing plain clothes and looked fierce. Then they will pretend to be gangsters and scare away pedestrians.

"eat something."

Shen An dismounted and took a piece of cake from the bag to eat.

Zhao Xu also got one, and he tasted sweet and salty in one mouthful.

"what?"

"Mooncakes, ham."

Moon cakes are full of sugar, and Shen An doesn't like them very much. The only thing he likes is the ham flavored ones.

The ham is chewy and fragrant.

After eating moon cakes, everyone was taking a nap.

In the mist, the town is looming.

"Dignitaries..." Zhao Xu took a sip of water and put down the water bag, "When Emperor Taizu released his military power over a glass of wine, many people became rich. Many of the descendants of these people have declined, but some of them continue to this day. Quite a few, probably because of the instructions from our ancestors, so they seldom get involved in politics. As long as it doesn't interfere with their making a fortune, then anything can be said..."

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were many vassal towns, and even more so after the fall of the Tang Dynasty.

To put it simply, the entire late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is a history of rebellion and rebellion.

The feudal town betrayed the empire, and his subordinates betrayed the feudal town... If you kill me, I will kill you. The word loyalty has become a joke. The Japanese state's so-called subjugation of the superior was nothing at all at this time.

In that era, betrayal was the main theme.

After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, the Song Dynasty still faced the threat of the feudal towns. If he did not deal with it, it would not be long before those ambitious feudal towns would take aim at his neck and try to kill him.

So he took action.

Gathering the elite of the Forbidden Army as a deterrent, Zhao Kuangyin used various means to successfully reduce the feudal vassal. This was the famous "Release of Military Power over Drinking Wine" in later generations.

These powerful ministers and towns who gave up their military power became rich, and so did their descendants.

A hundred years after the founding of the Song Dynasty, many families were still wealthy.

These people have learned from their ancestors and naturally do not dare to get involved in politics easily.

But you can't influence me to make a fortune!

Otherwise, it doesn’t matter who you are, let’s go in with the white knife and come out with the red knife.

This is how man perishes for wealth and birds perish for food.

Shen An smiled and said, "It's okay to get rich, but you have to abide by the rules. How many of the powerful people abide by the rules when they get rich?"

The army of the Song Dynasty was all engaged in business, UU Reading www.uukanｓhu.ｎet, what kind of bullshit rules were there.

Zhao Xu shook his head, "It's difficult. I probably just turned a blind eye."

As long as the powerful don't make a fuss, some things can be ignored.

"What use were they in the Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Xu shook his head, "It's probably a very small number."

Most of the dignitaries were like maggots, firmly attached to the body of the Song Dynasty, devouring the flesh and blood of the Song Dynasty.

The mist gradually dissipated, and hundreds of riders slowly came out.

"Get ready to take action!"

…

The third update is here, good night!
