A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 113 The bullshit of civil servants

Shen An drank too much and got up with a terrible headache the next day.

But he still persisted and went to send Zhe Jizu back to Fuzhou.

The traffic situation is so bad these days, and the medical conditions are not good, so a long trip is very grand, and friends and relatives have to see you off.

Why?

Because I am afraid that this separation will mean goodbye forever when I hear the news again.

So when he rushed outside Jinglong Gate, he saw more than a dozen people gathered together, and in the middle was Zhe Jizu.

"Everyone, see you in Fuzhou!"

When Zhe Jizu saw Shen An and Zhe Kexing, he nodded slightly, but without waiting for them, he rode away with his men.

This is because we don’t want them to become the target of public criticism.

But things often do not change according to human will.

Before Zhe Kexing noticed, Shen An saw more people around.

student.

"Why do you want to speak for warriors?"

These people slowly approached with indifferent expressions.

"Shen Anbei, your family has been officials for generations, why do you want to speak for warriors?"

A man in his thirties came out alone, stared at Shen An with sharp eyes, and said: "We are not jealous of talents, but you have also read books, and it is said that your studies are top-notch, so don't you know that the former Tang Dynasty What are the dangers of military rebellion?"

The other person was a little behind. He stared at Zhe Kexing and said with contempt: "If Emperor Taizu hadn't ended the troubled times, the warriors would still be the masters. They change day and night, like grass on the wall. How can we believe it?"

These people are very powerful, even more powerful than Han Qi yesterday.

There were many people watching the excitement. When they saw this, some people sighed and said: "This Shen An is also a scholar. He just learned from his father and got close to martial arts. How will he live his life from now on!"

A leisurely man said: "Yesterday he was so angry that Xianggong Han fainted. These scholars are here to seek justice."

The matter of Han Qi's fainting has begun to ferment. After the news that Shen An defeated all the civil servants yesterday came out, the current questioning and containment began.

Shen An stretched out his hand to stop Zhe Kexing, and then said: "They say warriors cannot be trusted, so who will lead the army?"

He pointed at the man in the lead and asked, "Can you lead an army?"

The man sneered and said: "How come we don't know how to lead the army? Didn't Fan Gong and the others lead the army back then?"

Shen An was delighted when he heard this. He turned out to be a great guy.

So he said calmly: "Who will lead the army below? Who will serve as the officers? And... can the army be won by civilians?"

Better than wool!

Starting from Taizong, the Song Dynasty was often beaten by foreign enemies. As for civilian leaders, they are all commanders-in-chief, and then...

Then nothing happens.

Later, the emperor also felt that civilian military control was a bit nonsense and cheating, so he used the magic weapon of eunuchs.

The eunuchs leading the army... were actually stronger than the civil servants. This directly tore the civil servants' fear of dismounting herdsmen and mounting their horses to lead the army.

Everyone was at a loss for words, but the man said solemnly: "You don't need to change the subject. Now that the world is at peace, what the Song Dynasty needs is stability. The blood shed in the former Tang Dynasty is still fishy and pungent. In troubled times, people are like dogs, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. What will happen in those days? Haven’t you had enough?”

Shen An didn't know how many of these people came out of pure worry and anger, and he didn't even know who told them about Zhe Jizu's return this morning.

Zhe Kexing behind him has begun to accumulate strength. Once he gets permission, many bones will be broken here today.

"You are quibbling."

Shen An regretfully gave up the plan of attacking with force because it would put him in a very difficult situation.

But this level of sophistry couldn't stop him, so he said calmly: "I'm talking about the Song Dynasty, and you're talking about the civil and military forces. The Song Dynasty needs military men to protect the country, but the civil and military forces need to compete for superiority. . If you only talk about civil and military affairs, you are acting like a hooligan."

Seeing that they were in a daze, Shen An nodded slightly, and then took Zhe Kexing back.

A group of scholars stood there blankly, and someone said: "He is talking nonsense!"

"Yes, he felt guilty, so he left in a hurry."

These words received a lot of approval, and for a while the crowd was full of emotions, all trying to attack Shen An's guilty conscience.

In the midst of this chatter, a voice suddenly intervened.

"He's not wrong! We said we should be wary of warriors, and he said that the Song Dynasty needs warriors to protect him... He said this while standing in the temple, is he wrong?"

A short man frowned and spoke, and the people around him moved away, making him look particularly lonely.

But he didn't realize it at all. He was as focused as answering a question in the palace examination: "To destroy the family is to be loyal and good. Loyalty cannot be humiliated. Otherwise, who would serve the Song Dynasty?"

He looked at his companions who had evil eyes and sighed: "Now I know what Shen An meant. We are struggling here to use civility to control military force, but he saw the dispute between the Song Dynasty and foreign enemies. One's vision is internal, and the other's His eyes are on the outside and he is making judgments!"

"nonsense!"

"How can you say that!"

Everyone started to attack, and the short man smiled bitterly and said: "It's up to you, but Bianliang is here. Think about the Chanyuan Alliance back then..."

"It's gone, it's gone!"

The men dispersed in a hurry, and the remaining little man shook his head and walked away alone.

This dispute soon reached the ears of interested people, and everyone expressed their emotions.

"Some say you have inherited your father's legacy, some say you are trying to be new and different, some say you are young and frivolous..."

As soon as Zhao Zhongzhen arrived at Shen's house, he first made a glass of ice jam, and then while drinking it, he told Shen An about what was going on outside.

"It's all crazy."

Shen An felt that those who had nothing to do with trying to figure out people were either too idle or crazy.

Zhao Zhongzhen drank the jam, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I, Wengweng, said that you have been too popular recently, and the officials may be thinking of kicking you out."

"Where to go?"

Shen An said angrily: "Guoguo is still young. If the official family separates my brother and sister, he will be a tyrant."

"You can take Guoguo with you!"

Zhao Zhongzhen said with some sadness: "What should I do if I really take you away?"

"You continue to eat and wait to die."

Shen An was just murmuring that people who speculate on others are insane, but he himself began to speculate...

He was trying to figure out Zhao Zhen.

The emperor was definitely a well-meaning person and soft-hearted.

He has experienced listening to politics behind the curtain and also experienced rebellion, and in all of this, even Queen Cao was more decisive than him.

This is a weak emperor!

Those important ministers protected him and supported him, but the result was the loss of imperial dignity.

Starting from him, UU Reading www.uuknshu.net the emperors of the Song Dynasty gradually stepped down from the altar and gradually became symbols.

Zhao Zhongzhen did not feel the crisis. His current idea was very simple, that is, to be a clan member who would just eat and die. Of course, if there is delicious food every day, then the day will be complete.

He finished the jam and reluctantly stuck out his tongue to lick the cup.

When Shen An saw this, he shook his head and said, "Is the Prince's Palace depriving you of your food and drink? You, Wengweng, will definitely slap you again when you see him."

Zhao Zhongzhen put down the cup, burped and said, "The Huayuan County Prince's Mansion recently invited a monk to say that there is an evil spirit in the mansion."

"Go study and stop worrying about this."

Shen An felt that Zhao Yunliang had gradually become a little crazy since he woke up.

The most taboo thing for a powerful family or a royal family is the monk. As long as the monk is invited, it will cause trouble.

Zhao Zhongzhen nodded and said: "But when I came here, I heard that the officials also invited Taoists to the palace..."
