A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The officials went crazy.

This was the first time he left Bianliang City since he ascended the throne.

I didn't come back until almost evening after going out.

Gao Taotao thought he was relaxing this time, but when she went to find Zhao Shu for dinner, she heard the sound of a suona.

"Go and have a look."

Gao Taotao stood outside, looking at the main hall under the night.

Later Feiyan came back and reported: "Sage, Chen Zhongheng looked sad and said that he hadn't spoken to the official since he came back. He went to ask for dinner, but the official threw tea in his face."

What's the meaning?

Gao Taotao felt very strange, thinking that something unpleasant happened when he went out of the city today?

So she went inside.

After entering, the sound of suona came like a flood. Gao Taotao couldn't help blinking his eyes, feeling that the best role of suona is to wake up the snoozing children.

Zhao Shu stood in front, playing the suona attentively.

The candlelight flickered, and the sound of the suona gradually became deeper and deeper, and finally dissipated.

"Bring me the wine!"

You have to drink alcohol to play the suona. If you drink a pound of wine, you have to play eight ounces of it.

Someone next to him handed him a glass of wine. Zhao Shu drank it and felt uneasy, "Jin jug!"

The jug was handed over, and Zhao Shu took it and drank.

"ah……"

He put down the wine bottle and felt that most of the blockage in his chest had dissipated.

Looking back, he was shocked to find that his wife was behind him. It was she who had just handed him the wine.

"Is the official in a bad mood?"

Gao Taotao asked with a smile.

Women are often men's harbor. In their tough world, they need such a touch of tenderness.

Zhao Shu's eyes were gentle, "Today the veil has been lifted, everyone knows...the New Deal is coming."

"New deal?" Gao Taotao was doing well in the palace, his husband was doting on him, his children were well-behaved, and he had nothing to worry about, so he became more and more unwilling to take care of things.

But she was still surprised when she heard about the New Deal, "Guan family, can we still get the New Deal?"

"I'm working on it." Zhao Shu put down the suona, and Chen Zhongheng came in cautiously, saying in a low voice: "Guan family, it's time to eat."

Zhao Shu shook his head, "I have been doing it piecemeal before, and those people didn't care. But as soon as the exemption law came out, it was a big way to tell them that the New Deal is coming."

"Guan family, is that possible?"

Gao Taotao said melancholy: "I think of the Qingli New Year, when it was also the New Deal, and then the world was boiling..."

"No, that's not the world boiling." Zhao Shu sneered: "That's the powerful gentry boiling and dissatisfied."

"But they think they belong to the world." Gao Taotao comes from a powerful family, so he understands the mentality of the powerful. "They think the world belongs to everyone, and the king shares it with them."

"Yes! It just doesn't matter to the people." Zhao Shu smiled, "But today I have seen the wishes of the people. They support the new deal that is good for themselves and the Song Dynasty. But the powerful gentry are opposed. Whose world belongs to the world?”

Gao Taotao was horrified, "Do you want to say that the people are like water and the world is like a boat? But that is just talk after all. The dignitaries of the past dynasties regarded the people as pigs and sheep, but how could they ever regard them as water?"

The so-called people are like water and the king is like a boat. This is just a general statement. Whoever believes it will be sabi.

For thousands of years, emperors, generals and ministers have kept this sentence on their lips, just to show off themselves.

But who cares about the lives of the people?

"For thousands of years, if the people do not starve to death, it is a prosperous age and the emperor's virtuous governance. But Dalang said that it is just living, and the people of the Song Dynasty should not be like this." Zhao Shu said with a smile: "That child has great ambitions. He wants the people of the Song Dynasty to be able to Become the envy of the powerful people in foreign vassals. If this is the case, the people will have to eat, wear and clothe themselves, and go to school..."

Gao Taotao said in astonishment: "A person with a solid talent knows etiquette, and a person with enough food and clothing knows honor and disgrace. But there are tens of millions of people in the Song Dynasty... If everyone can do this, then... a Song Dynasty like that... is impossible."

For thousands of years, the greatest virtue that politicians have shown to the people is to keep them well fed and clothed. As for the rest, don't really expect it.

Zhao Shu said: "That's what Dalang said. I see that he is full of confidence, and I can't help but feel that I am getting old."

Gao Taotao smiled and said: "You are still in your prime!"

For an emperor, Zhao Shu is really not too old.

"You didn't see the faces of those ministers today." Zhao Shu said: "They are like mourning for their heirs. I am very happy to see them!"

"The people support it."

"The prime ministers and assistants, Han Qi, support him, and Zeng Gongliang can be considered one, no, maybe half."

"Needless to say, Bao Zheng, if he doesn't support it, it will harm Shen An, so..." Zhao Shu laughed, "So Bao Zheng has no choice but to support the New Deal."

"What about Ouyang Xiu?" Gao Taotao accompanied him and asked with a chuckle.

"Ouyang Xiu is not of much use." Zhao Shu said calmly: "I just want him to occupy a position. Otherwise, if others enter the political hall, they will be afraid of becoming the enemy of the New Deal. By then, they will have a headache."

Gao Taotao walked up behind him, gently massaged his head, and whispered: "But you have us."

"yes!"

Zhao Shu leaned back slightly, rested his head on his wife's arms, and said contentedly: "There are also the people of this world, and those officials who support the New Deal... The fight between Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, no matter what the cause, was ultimately for New Deal. The New Deal will divide officials into two factions, but there are many people in my faction."

"Yes." Gao Taotao said with emotion: "The late emperor only had such a small number of people at that time, and they were unable to resist once they were besieged..."

"What now?" Zhao Shu suddenly laughed.

Gao Taotao also laughed, "Da Lang is fierce, and that Shen An is even more fierce. And Han Qi is known as domineering, Bao Zheng can beat people on the spot with a wat board, Wang Anshi can break up with Sima Guang... Official, you There are many helpers!”

Zhao Shu said happily: "Shen An has accumulated a lot of achievements..."

Well!

Gao Taotao couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, "You are indulging your ministers to beat people!"

Chen Zhongheng couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought of his good friend Shen An showing off his power.

"The night is beautiful, Guanjia." Gao Taotao put his arms around her husband's neck, "Why don't you go for a walk?"

"Not as beautiful as you..."

The emperor's love words made people's hearts flutter. Chen Zhongheng quietly went out, waved his hand, and someone gently closed the door.

…

At Sima Guang's home, a group of officials were gathering.

"This is the New Deal!"

Lu Jie, the minister of the imperial censor, said in a deep voice: "Someone is deceiving the officials and harming the Song Dynasty! Who is this person?"

Lu Jie was the grandson of Lu Duan, the famous Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. He was a famous official of the third generation and was a Jinshi.

Such a person appeared here today, and even Sima Guang was refreshed.

However, after hearing this, Sima Guang frowned slightly, "The officials also have such thoughts..."

One slap can’t make a sound!

The officials themselves are the biggest backstage bosses of the New Deal. Don’t you know this?

But Lu Jie said displeasedly: "What do the officials know? That's what the king said. His son is deceiving him...and Shen An, that Shen An, I have thought about him. This person is used to digging holes. Think about the affairs of Xiangjun..."

Everyone nodded, and someone said: "It is customary for the disaster victims to be organized into the Xiang Army, but he used natural disasters to coax the late emperor into hiding. From then on, most of the victims were resettled on the spot, alas!"

This sound makes people feel depressed.

The original victims of the disaster were recruited into the Xiang army, leaving a lot of land left behind.

Being disturbed by Shen An in this way, the big fat is gone, how can people not be annoyed.

"Someone said that whoever can bring down Shen An will be offered a hundred thousand dollars."

The so-called getting rid of it means letting Shen An withdraw from the court.

Everyone laughed.

"It's difficult. The officials appreciate him." Lu Hui glanced at this man and said, "Han Qi and others support him, and Bao Zheng, it's hard to say..."

If you want to oust Shen An, you must deal with Bao Zheng first, otherwise your saliva will drown you.

"Bao Zheng used to just spit," an official said with lingering fear, "but later he learned to hit people with a wat board. It's scary."

Bao Zheng, who can spit saliva, is very powerful, but he only uses his mouth.

A gentleman speaks but does not act!

Now Bao Zheng has learned how to do it, what should he do?

Sima Guang felt that each of these people's ideas were more unreliable than the last, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Someone said: "Even if he comes down, he is still the richest man in the Song Dynasty! He is so rich, he can spend money on it casually... Think about it, what has he used money on?"

Damn it!

Only then did everyone remember this incident.

"That Shen An often offers tens of thousands of coins to offer rewards. I'll wait..."

Compared with him, we are just poor people!

Everyone looked at each other.

There were many rich people in the Song Dynasty, but the Chinese tradition for thousands of years was not to show wealth and not talk about it.

As a result, countless rich people hide among the people and are not known to anyone.

But Shen An is different.

This guy didn't want everyone in the world to know that he was rich, so he spent money at every turn.

"He often donated..."

The official who said this blushed. He was probably praising his opponent and making himself feel uncomfortable, but he refused to lie.

Everyone looked at him with disdain, and some said: "He is hypocritical and trying to win people's hearts!"

This sounds funny, right?

But at this time it was so natural.

Lu Jie said: "Didn't you notice it before? It turns out that before Shen An came, the government was calm and orderly, and the Song Dynasty was as stable as Mount Tai. From the time he entered Bianliang City, many things happened..."

"Yes!" The official who previously mentioned Shen An's donation lamented: "He revealed the secret of witchcraft. With this, he can leave his name in history..."

Where are you from?

Someone stared at him and frowned: "Tang Jing, how about... you go and have a rest first?"

If you keep talking, tonight will become a party to praise Shen An. What new methods are you talking about?

The man stood up and said awkwardly: "I just said something unreasonable. I'm sorry."

After he left, Lu Jie said: "The corvee system in the Song Dynasty has been practiced for hundreds of years without any problems, but they are unwilling to do so and have to persuade the officials to change it. This is a wolfish ambition!"

He stared at Sima Guang, his brows full of doubts, "Jun Shi, you have to be more decisive. I heard that you didn't speak up when I was at Xiangfu today. This is not good."

Sima Guang said with a worried look on his face: "Someone knows..."

"When will the government implement the exemption law?"

This is the issue that everyone is most concerned about.

Sima Guang said calmly: "Today, the official's intention is clearly to do it as soon as possible."

"Then what are we going to do?"

Lu Ji looked at Sima Guang, UU reading www.uukanshu.net Then he looked at everyone and said decisively: "I will enter the admonishment official's house tomorrow!"

Everyone stood up and held their hands, the atmosphere was solemn.

Someone chanted: "The wind is rustling and the water is cold..."

Lu Jie said in a deep voice to Sima Guang, "I'll go first."

Sima Guang stood up and held his hands, "I don't want to be second to others."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Laughter gradually filled the room, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

Tang Jing, the official who spoke openly outside the door, murmured: "Shen An seems to have accumulated a lot of merit..."

…

If it's later, this month's monthly pass will be invalid. Jazz is asking for a monthly pass.
