A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Prince Fanyang?"

Zhao Yunrang couldn't help but smile after hearing the news.

"What is Thirteenthro implying?"

The old servant opened his eyes and said calmly: "The officials want to break through the Liao Kingdom and restore the land of Youyan."

Zhao Yunrang nodded, "Shen An wanted to go to the Northern Expedition, and Thirteenth Lang gave him the title of Duke Fan Yang. This is a hint, interesting, hahahaha!"

He was so proud that he suddenly sneezed.

"I feel uncomfortable. Prepare hot water. I want to take a bath."

Zhao Yunrang was so depressed at home that he really had no other pastime except drinking and playing with women.

However, Zhao Yunliang and his son were practicing Taoism happily at home.

In the quiet room filled with smoke, Zhao Yunliang opened his eyes, flicked the whisk and frowned: "Who is here?"

Zhao Zongjiang on the side sighed: "My child heard it too."

After a person gets used to silence, his five senses will be much stronger, and sounds that were previously inaudible will become clear.

Then footsteps approached, and someone whispered outside: "Your Majesty..."

"What's the matter?"

The door was slowly opened and light came in. Zhao Yunliang squinted outside and felt that the outside was another world.

"Prince, we just got news that Shen An has been granted the title of Duke of Fanyang by the officials."

"Master Fanyang?" Zhao Yunliang's mind was particularly clear at this moment, and he said: "Fannyang County... from the pre-Tang Dynasty, right?"

Zhao Zongjiang said: "Dad has a good memory, it was during the former Tang Dynasty."

"Xiongzhou belonged to Fanyang County in the former Tang Dynasty, but now many places in Fanyang are within the territory of Liao Kingdom. Is the official trying to boost morale and hint at his determination to regain the land of Youyan?"

Zhao Yunliang felt that he had discovered the truth.

With a little effort on his legs, he stood up. The steward outside the door praised: "The body of the prince... is far inferior to that of a villain!"

Zhao Yunliang said calmly: "You are full of fat, how can you be as light as a swallow?"

He walked out of the quiet room, looked at the bright spring scenery outside, and suddenly asked: "What happened during this time?"

"The Song Dynasty defeated the Liao Kingdom..."

"Who leads the army?"

"Fu Bi..."

"Huh?" Zhao Yunliang looked at the steward, "Fu Bi leads the army. It looks like he is losing the battle. Officials won't be so stupid. Who else is there?"

"Shen An."

"That's right." Zhao Yunliang shook the fly whisk and sighed: "That young man has made meritorious service again. It's time for the powerful people in Bianliang City to be honest for a while."

The steward smiled and said, "Yes! After Shen An led the army on the expedition, many people impeached him, saying that he would become a powerful minister like Huo Guang in the future."

"idiot!"

Zhao Yunliang's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said disdainfully: "The generals of the Song Dynasty do not know soldiers, and the ministers cannot control the army. Otherwise, how would Han Qi and the others have a chance to go to war? Aren't the officials afraid that they will lead the army to rebel? They are beyond stupid! As for the powerful ministers...then Shen An has countless enemies. If he becomes a powerful official, he will die sooner or later without a burial place. If you look at what he has done in the past few years, it is clear that he knows these propriety."

Zhao Zongjiang stretched out as soon as he came out, and said after hearing this: "Dad, Shen An likes to break people's legs. It seems reckless, but it has great benefits. At least the officials will not be suspicious of him. This is Smart man!"

Zhao Yunliang looked at him and suddenly burst into tears.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Zongjiang was a little panicked.

"My son, you used to be stupid and often deceived by others, but now you are so transparent. You can see the reason for what Shen An did at a glance. As a father... I am so happy!"

Zhao Zongjiang was also a little sad, and then the father and son gradually became happy. The steward took the opportunity to ask: "Your Majesty, it's a good thing that you are smart!"

"Of course it's a good thing." Zhao Yunliang looked at his son with great satisfaction, feeling full of accomplishment.

In the eyes of many fathers, their children are like a blank sheet of paper, and they are the ones who paint.

They hope that their child can become a masterpiece, so they always pay attention to it and make corrections...

But things often backfire.

The steward was overjoyed and felt that since it was a good thing, the food would definitely be improved today, so he said, "Prince, since it is a good thing, how about... congratulating me?"

Zhao Yunliang nodded and the steward suggested, "How about... I ask them to buy some meat?"

He stared at Zhao Yunliang impolitely, thinking that the last time he ate meat was last month, and the people in the house couldn't bear it long ago!

"Eat meat?"

Zhao Yunliang sighed: "Why was Zong Jiang so stupid? He ate too much meat. Now Zong Jiang is practicing Taoism with me and is getting smarter. It can be seen that this person should eat less meat. Today, the whole family... is still a vegetarian! "

Several servants hiding around him fell to the ground softly when they heard this, and someone shouted: "I want to resign..."

Zhao Yunliang said calmly: "My family is a philanthropic family. If you want to resign, just agree."

The man was overjoyed and thought he would be out of the sea of ​​misery soon. But as soon as Zhao Yunliang and his son left, the steward came over with a sinister smile and asked, "How long is the contract?"

This man is an indentured servant, similar to the servants of Shen An's family.

The man said happily: "There are still two years."

The steward snorted coldly, "We'll talk about it when we're done."

He shook his head, thinking that if there was no need for a contract to restrict you, most of the servants in the mansion would probably run away. Who would do the work then? Not yet!

So let’s all share the same difficulties!

He walked slowly in the prince's palace, and the servants he saw were all listless. Those who had nothing to do were looking for a place to bask in the sun, and they were too lazy to say anything.

Is this the county prince's palace?

The steward sadly thought of the county prince's mansion back then. At that time, the prince had not yet practiced Taoism. How lively the mansion was!

But now?

This Prince's Mansion looks like it is haunted. If others come here for the first time, they will definitely be frightened to the point of peeing.

"Today... the whole family will continue to drink porridge."

"Ah... I don't want to live anymore!"

…

The military bosses began to get excited.

After learning about the official's external instructions, the military made many plans against Xixia, and finally brought them to the Privy Council for discussion.

"...Send troops from Huanqing and capture Weizhou and Xiping Prefecture along the way. Xingqing Prefecture will definitely be shaken at this moment. The army will take advantage of the situation to cover up the attack. As long as Jingzhou is captured, the external channels of Xingqing Prefecture will be controlled. The Song Dynasty will win this battle!"

A general pointed at the map and spoke of his plan with a red face.

Another general cursed: "Do you think the Xixia people are so easy to fight? Weizhou and Jingzhou, do you know the price of conquering these places?"

"How could I not know?"

"..."

A group of generals were quarreling and even rolling up their sleeves to prepare for a fight.

Fu Bi and Shen An sat on the edge drinking tea, turning a blind eye.

"Do you still think that Li Liangzuo will be short-lived?" Fu Bi thinks that Shen An is a stubborn person, but he is more like a stickman.

"You have to be careful about this matter." With the friendship of fighting side by side this time, the relationship between Fu Bi and Shen An has taken a step forward. "Your Majesty has set the national policy. This is a golden saying. How can it be changed? That would be detrimental to Your Majesty. The majesty...you..."

He looked at Shen An and said with some trepidation, "Are you obsessed with that Mr. Liang?"

Shen An smiled bitterly and said: "Prime Minister, you can't say this anymore. My wife is still pregnant. If she hears it..."

"yes!"

call out!

A hidden weapon flew from among the generals over there. Fu Bi caught it casually, but it was a stinky shoe. He dropped the shoe without changing his expression and said: "In the past, I would have scolded you when I saw this kind of scene, but it's a smelly shoe." Later, I knew it was best to leave them alone. These warriors were squatting in Bianliang City until they were too lazy to squat. If they can't even quarrel or fight, they are no different from watchdogs. So let them do whatever they want."

What the old man said was extremely insightful. Shen An smiled and said, "This is how morale comes about in many cases."

"Someone is going to the northwest! Someone is going to capture that woman from the Liang family alive and give it to Duke Shen!"

Damn your sister!

When Shen An heard this, his face turned pale. Fu Bi smiled and said, "Don't worry, the officials will never be suspicious of you because of this."

Shen An shook his head, "But the wife at home knows it!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Fu Bi couldn't help laughing, and then said seriously: "The officials have decided on the national policy, and the Privy Council will naturally formulate a strategy for attacking the northwest. You have to participate in this matter!"

Without the participation of the famous general Shen An, both the prime minister and the king would probably have no idea about this plan.

Shen An nodded, "But I still feel that Li Liangzuo is short-lived, so the Song Dynasty must be stable in the northwest. Once Li Liangzuo leaves, the Liang family will definitely not be able to stabilize the government. At this moment, the Song Dynasty's attack will give her the power to consolidate That’s an excuse... After all, brothers are hiding behind a wall to protect themselves from their insults!"

Historically, after Liang's death, Xixia became unstable internally, and her response was to go to war.

So Xixia continued to wage war externally, and then became more and more stable internally.

This is to use war to divert conflicts and unify internally.

As a result, Liang became a war madman in the history books of later generations.

Crazy Queen Mother Liang!

But who knows how difficult it is to control Xixia's unstable regime?

"You are too stubborn." Fu Bi frowned and said, "National affairs are not based on guesswork or speculation, otherwise the decisions made will make people laugh and even harm the country and the people! You are still young, so you should do less of this in the future. Over there... ...You go and suppress it, and lead them to come up with a strategy for attacking Xixia..."

After Fu Bi finished speaking, he ran away. After he returned to Beijing in triumph, Zhao Shu gave him a vacation, but he was embarrassed to take the vacation, but he often arrived late and left early. It was said that he was training his children and grandchildren at home.

The old rich man was very humble. He often said that his son was stupid, and then he would drive his son out to pursue relationships. Think about it, if a person with a reputation for being stupid comes to ask you for advice, would you be embarrassed to refuse?

So Fu Bi's son went about his connections openly and was favored by many big bosses.

Shen An shook his head slightly, thinking that when the taro grew up, someone would follow those names and ask him to invest early. After more than ten years or decades, the Shen family...

Ha ha ha ha!

This is the benefit of a prophet!

Shen An was playing the lute, and the generals over there came over.

"Please give me some advice from Duke Shen!"

The generals now only admire Shen An, and this is the deterrent effect brought by the real achievements.

Shen An smiled and said: "It's better to be more stable in Xixia."

"Why?"

A general asked in confusion.

In their view, the Song Dynasty should take advantage of the east wind that defeated Yelu Hongji and attack quickly, but Shen An, a radical, actually died down. Why is this?

Shen An said that the news of Li Liangzuo's short life was only transmitted among the officials and ministers in the court, UU Reading www.uukanshu. net is unknown to the outside world.

He mused: "I think Li Liangzuo will be short-lived."

A group of generals were stunned at first, and then they all laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Shen An's breaking of the legend of witchcraft originally shocked people, but now he actually takes the lead in doing it again, how can people not laugh!

"The rich prime minister is back, everyone is silent!"

This was the place that was later called the White Tiger Hall. It was an important place for military aircraft. How could we be so arrogant?

Fu Bi came back in a hurry, took a breath first, then looked at Shen An and said, "The news just came... Li Liangzuo... has gone."

At this moment, he seemed to see a god.

At this moment, the generals were silent...
