A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1273: Shen An’s tricks, Xixia retreats

Latest website: This fight in the alley fell into the eyes of interested people, and soon someone accused Shen An of beating an old man.

Wang Anshi called his son into the study on the second day after his wedding.

"Yesterday on your way to the wedding, Yang Jue and his people were preparing to take action."

Now that the matter has been fermented, everyone will think about it, and then the matter of Yang Fei being abolished was also exposed.

But Yang Jue had a fight with Shen An, which made many people think that Shen An had destroyed Yang Fei.

"Old thief!" Wang Yu's face turned green.

"You did it in private, thinking that no one was aware of it, but others knew it was you without evidence. So Yang Jue was about to take action, but Shen An blocked him, and they fought hard. Shen An's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and then someone impeached him , saying that he attacked Yang Jue and bullied the old man."

It is a good tradition to respect the old and love the young. Yang Jue is over sixty years old, but you, Shen An, are so shameless in doing this!

"Then someone said that Yang Fei was deceived by Shen An."

Wang Anshi said calmly: "What you did, Shen An took care of it for you."

Wang Yu lowered his head and said, "My child is wrong. Go and plead guilty."

He had an aloof temperament and never refused to bow his head, but now he bowed his head.

"Mr. Lang!"

A servant came in from outside and said, "Someone just said that Yang Jue went to the Shen family with a gift, saying he was trying to apologize."

I go!

Wang Anshi was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

Yang Jue had just vowed to kill Shen An, so why did he go to Shen's house to apologize just the next day?

Isn’t this world upside down?

The servant shook his head, "I don't know, but Yang Jue was smiling when he came out..."

Wang Anshi was really puzzled, but Wang Yu was thoughtful.

"Dad, who is Yang Jue's grandson?"

Wang Anshi frowned and said, "It seems that he is in Taixue."

Wang Yu ordered his servant: "Go to the Imperial Academy and find out how Yang Jue's grandson is doing."

Wang Anshi frowned and said: "Shen An is not that despicable..."

Later the news came.

"Yesterday, Yang Jue's grandson was expelled from the Imperial Academy."

Wang Anshi blushed and felt that he had misjudged Shen An.

Wang Yu said: "That Yang Jue must be unyielding, otherwise Brother Anbei would not take action against his grandson. But since he has taken action, naturally he will not be simple and ask again."

Later the servants brought more news.

"Someone is investigating Yang Fei's entry into the Jixian Palace. They say that Yang Fei is not talented in literature, so how can he be appointed as a library official."

The so-called official positions refer to officials who serve in Zhaowen Hall, History Hall, Jixian Hall and Secret Pavilion. Officials in these places must have outstanding literary talents.

But Yang Fei's literary talent is just ordinary.

There's something fishy here.

Wang Yu understood, and he said excitedly: "Brother Anbei is going to dig up the roots of the Yang family!"

"Young people are terrible!" Wang Anshi also understood, "When Yang Fei entered the Jixian Hall, someone must have pushed him behind the scenes. Otherwise, how would he be qualified? Now that Shen An wants to investigate this matter secretly, that person will definitely panic. Then they will put pressure on Yang Jue and ask him to bow his head to Shen An and admit defeat... Yuanze, how do you think this method is better than you?"

Wang Yu thought about it carefully, "He kept calm. First he took down Yang Jue's grandson, which was ruining his future. Then he checked the person behind Yang Fei, which made the matter bigger... It seems simple, but step by step Murderous intentions, as long as Yang Jue is not stupid, he can only admit defeat and bow his head."

He looked at his father and said seriously: "In terms of sophistication, the boy is awesome. In terms of skill, he is awesome."

Wang Anshi couldn't help but feel pleased to see that he was rarely humble, "Exquisiteness eventually lost its appeal. Shen An forced the Yang family to bow in two steps. The method seemed ordinary, but this is the general trend! The general trend is unstoppable, and it is more powerful than any exquisiteness. Yuanze, If you are close to An Bei, you should imitate his generous spirit."

This son is too conceited and has an extreme temperament. If he continues to develop like this, something will happen sooner or later.

It would be best for him to be influenced by Shen An.

Wang Anshi thought about it and then ordered: "I got a good calligraphy yesterday. I sent it to Shen's house and told me to make a copybook for Guoguo."

The corner of Wang Yu's mouth couldn't help but twitch, thinking that his father was very careful when reading the calligraphy yesterday, but he gave it to Guoguo casually. This was too fake.

He thought for a while and said, "Guoguo's handwriting has improved a lot recently. It just so happened that there was a calligraphy painting at my child's place, so I sent it to him as well."

Wang Anshi looked at him, nodded and said, "You have changed a lot."

"My child used to be arrogant and felt that no one in the world was worth mentioning, but then I met Brother Anbei, Brother Zizhan, and Zundao... My child used to be a loner and didn't know what brothers were, but later I got to know them when I got along with them."

Wang Anshi smiled and said, "This is humaneness. You were just too cold."

Only friendship can make people change!

Wang Anshi smiled and remembered his boyhood, "At that time, my father also had some friends, but they couldn't compare to the friendship between you and An Bei. I still feel fascinated when I think about it."

"What about Sima Guang?" Wang Yu suddenly asked.

"He?" Wang Anshi said calmly: "It's just that the way is different. He followed his own way, and he walked the father's way for his father, and gradually drifted away."

"Then what is his way?"

"His way is to maintain the interests of those people." Wang Anshi said disdainfully: "My father used to think that he was a gentleman, but later he realized that he was from the same group as the powerful gentry. Naturally, people from the same group had to speak for them. And My father has always believed that the Great Song Dynasty was ill, and the root of the disease was that the powerful gentry lived too well, and they became enemies with Sima Guang... Do you understand?"

"I understand." Wang Yu said, "The last time I heard you fight with him, the kid wanted to kill him."

"Stop talking about life and death." Wang Anshi was worried about his son's concern for him, but he said with a straight face: "Be generous in your work and learn more from An Bei."

"yes."

Several fast horses arrived at the gate of Bianliang City. The leader shouted to the sergeant blocking the road: "Good news!"

After verifying the identity, the sergeant guarding the door shouted: "It's coming, everyone, get out of the way!"

As the news spread all the way, pedestrians on the street consciously stood on both sides and gave way to the middle passage.

The war horses came galloping, and the sergeant on the horse shouted: "The Xixia army returned without success, our army has won a great victory!"

Empress Dowager Liang went crazy and led an army to attack Huanzhou. No one expected this battle.

But I didn't expect it to be dangerous.

Fortunately, the Song Dynasty was well prepared, but the outcome was still unknown.

All parts of the northwest are responding to the situation, and the elite Imperial Guards in the capital are gathering. If something goes wrong in the northwest, they will leave immediately.

"Ms. sir!"

Fu Bi is sorting out some things about the Qingli New Deal and preparing to launch it at the right time, which can be regarded as rectifying the name of his mentor Fan Zhongyan.

Back then, he was valued by Fan Zhongyan, so he became Yan Shu's son-in-law, and then he got to where he is today step by step.

Fan Zhongyan was like a teacher and a friend to him. Now that the situation had changed drastically, he had the idea of ​​​​justifying his reputation.

At that time, those opponents slandered Fan Zhongyan, which was derisive. Now that the ruling and opposition parties have gradually begun to have different opinions on the New Deal, Fu Bi wants to add fuel to the fire.

"What's the matter?"

He looked up and saw an ecstatic little official.

"Mr. Huanqing, the Xixia people have retreated!"

Fu Bi blinked, "Okay!"

As the privy envoy, he has always been paying attention to this surprise battle. Now that the Xixia people have withdrawn their troops, the Song Dynasty has withstood two tests.

He hurried into the palace to see Zhao Shu. As soon as he met, he said happily: "Guan family, Liang has withdrawn his troops, she has withdrawn her troops!"

Zhao Shu was worried about Yang Fei's affairs. Hearing this, he was overjoyed and asked, "Really retreated?"

No one knew what kind of temper Liang's woman was. Shen An said he knew, but everyone regarded it as a joke.

Unless you really have an affair, how do you know that woman?

Fu Bi said: "The Xixia people attacked with all their strength for five days. Huanzhou seemed to be in danger, but reinforcements quickly approached, and the Xixia people actually retreated."

"Wait a minute..." Zhao Shu thought for a while, "The Liang family used the messenger's suicide as an excuse to use the army to celebrate. She wanted to conquer a place, so that she could secure that position. If she can't conquer it for a long time, those powerful people will definitely There were complaints and she was in a dilemma, but reinforcements from the Song Dynasty arrived, so she went downhill and withdrew her troops."

Fu Bi bowed and said in the most sincere manner: "The official's eyes are like lightning, as if he saw it with his own eyes."

"Don't flatter me!" Zhao Shu felt very comfortable being flattered by the Prime Minister, but he still kept a straight face.

"Guan family, that's exactly what happened!" Fu Bi handed over the battle report. Chen Zhongheng took it, risked a glance, and then bowed and said: "I am guilty..."

"What's going on?" Zhao Shu was a little dissatisfied and felt that Chen Zhongheng was a little frivolous.

Chen Zhongheng knelt down and said, "Guan, the battle situation is indeed as you said, not bad at all."

"Oh, let me take a look." Zhao Shu took the battle report and looked at it carefully.

"... After our army approached, the Xixia army stopped attacking and then faced off... Then there was some confusion within the enemy army and they began to withdraw."

This is undoubtedly internal strife!

Zhao Shu was in a happy mood and said: "The Liang family has just taken charge of Xixia and has no loyal ministers. She can only use benefits to win over people, but they have gained nothing from this battle. What should they do? They can only kill people to establish their authority. Haha. Ha ha!"

He was in a good mood, so Fu Bi joked: "If you go to the battlefield, it will be Han Xin who orders the troops. The more the better."

This flattery was so shameless that Chen Zhongheng turned his face away, feeling that the prime ministers and ministers in the government were losing their moral integrity recently, and each one was more shameless than the last.

"Last time I wanted to go north, but the ministers stopped me, leaving me helpless!"

The last time when Shen An and Fu Bi led the army to the north, Zhao Shu also made a fuss and wanted to lead the expedition in person. As a result, the officials were frightened to the point of peeing, and they quickly cried, made trouble, and hanged themselves before intercepting him.

"If you had gone there at that time, Yelu Hongji would have been killed without leaving any trace behind." Fu Bi looked sincere, but he was rejoicing in his heart.

If you were the imperial commander and went on the expedition yourself, what would you do to me, Fu Bi?

So you are still staying in Bianliang.

Zhao Shu regretted for a moment, and then said happily: "The Liao army was repelled, the Xixia people were repelled, Fu Qing, the Song Dynasty has never had such a peaceful moment!"

The Song Dynasty has been plagued by foreign aggression since its founding. The Liao Kingdom is an old problem, and Xixia is a new problem. Even barbarian countries like Jiaozhi can make the Song Dynasty disgraced.

Shame on you!

This person has been lost for hundreds of years, and UU Reading www.uuuhhu.net has not picked it up until now.

Fu Bi said happily: "Yelu Hongji was licking his wounds at home. The Jiaozhi people were in great pain when they were harassed by the Song navy... This time the Xixia people retreated with nothing gained... Officials, the situation in the Song Dynasty is great!"

The situation in the Song Dynasty is not a small good, but a great good.

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work. Just in time, there will be ten fat sheep for each person from the north..."

"Thank you, officials." Fu Bi saluted.

"Guan family, the princes are here."

When Fu Bi was excited, he asked to see Zhao Shu alone, which was taboo.

The king and his ministers smiled at each other, feeling that this time they were alone together was the happiest time.

The atmosphere is harmonious...
