A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1,408 How much?

Wang Shao moved out of the Shen family and rented a house near Xinzheng Gate.

The rent was relatively cheap, but Wang Shao was still strapped for money. Finally, when the landlord saw that he was an official, he said he would pay him his salary as well.

After he came to Beijing, he had been living in the Shen family, asking Shen An all day long for advice about the northwest. He had spent all day and night forgetting all his friends in the capital.

Now that he has been appointed as an official, it is naturally difficult for him to live in the Shen family. Shen An said with a smile that he should make an announcement.

The so-called announcement means telling old friends in Bianliang that a certain Wang Shao is back.

He felt like a nobody and was ashamed of himself.

Today was the day to move out. He and Shen An had a drink and then stood up to say goodbye.

"I won't give you any money."

Shen An looked very comfortable.

Wang Shao said nervously: "I have benefited a lot."

"But you refuse to make a big show of it, which shows that you are still feeling weak in your heart."

As Shen An sent him out, he said: "Human! Don't care about other people's eyes. Remember, among the people you meet, 99%, no, more than that, are just passers-by. . There are so many passers-by in a person's life. If you have to take into account the thoughts of every passer-by, then what else are you living for? Then who are you living for?"

Shen An found that Wang Shao had something similar to social phobia. He was probably depressed and unwilling to face the old people again.

"Who do you live for?" Wang Shao thought thoughtfully.

"Yes." Shen An said in front of Yulin Alley: "You think how others will see you, you think something about you will cause everyone to laugh at you, but you are looking down on yourself, do you know why? ?”

Wang Shao was shocked.

"Because others don't have time to take care of your troubles, as someone said before. In the same way, you are also a passerby of others. Who has time to take care of the bad things of a passer-by? So, let yourself go and let others go. You will find that the world suddenly becomes clear."

With that said, he left Yulin Alley.

"Let yourself go?"

During this trip, he wandered around the northwest and even went to the highlands, where he was in danger several times and almost died there. But he didn't flinch, he was holding back his breath and wanted others to see his persistence.

But so what?

Someone can still stand up again.

There are many people outside.

When everyone saw Shen An accompanying others, they couldn't help but look at Wang Shao.

There seems to be no one who can send Shen An out of Yulin Lane, right?

Even if the king comes, Shen An will just be delivered to his doorstep.

Who is this person? He was actually valued by Shen An.

Shen An held up his hand and said, "Zichun just go!"

Everyone was even more surprised, thinking that Wang Shao was in trouble.

"Who is that person?"

"Are you afraid he's a member of the clan?"

"You damn clan members. Those clan members were beaten like dogs by Duke Shen. How can he be polite to them?"

"Is it a powerful person?"

"A powerful person? Duke Shen has never been like this since uncle Guo came."

"..."

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

Wang Shao was still thinking about Shen An's words.

Just go!

Yes, why do you think so much?

As Shen An said, since you were born, you have been moving forward in loneliness, and people around you keep leaving, until you are finally alone.

Instead of dwelling on this, let it go.

Just go!

Wang Shao felt a bright light flash in his heart, and he raised his head without any doubts.

Shen An had already entered, and Wang Shao solemnly handed over.

This is his life mentor.

When he turned around again, he saw those people looking at him, and Wang Shao held his hands.

"May I ask Mr. Lang's surname?"

Someone was curious and asked Wang Shao.

In the past, Wang Shao probably couldn't speak, but now he smiled heartily and said, "A certain Wang Shao."

"Have not heard!"

"..."

Wang Shao smiled and said, "You will hear about it later."

He has this confidence.

As long as he puts aside the turmoil in his heart, he feels that he can do anything!

These days, not only did he talk to Shen An about the northwest, Shen An also often enlightened him.

——No matter how you live your life, you will eventually return to dust, dust to dust, so why not hold your head high?

——People talk about hell, but they are puzzled and want to ask where hell is.

——Hell is in the human world, and the human world is hell!

——All life is miserable, and living is tormenting in hell, so why not smile?

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Wang Shao felt that all the depression in his heart was gone, and his eyes were filled with light.

…

After he settled down, his friend Xiang Tao came to see him.

"A certain person is hanging out in the Hanlin Academy. At least his life is stable. You have been thinking about northwest and northwest all day long. But today, a certain person heard someone talking, saying that a man named Wang Shao was so powerful that he could make Duke Shen personally send him out of Yulin Alley. A certain person I was happy when I heard this name and came to look for you quickly. Fortunately, you are famous now, so I was able to find you here."

Wang Shao is tidying up the room.

"Is someone famous?"

He felt that he was really a nobody and he could be famous if he wanted. When the Northwest War began, he was confident that his name could stay in the annals of history for a long time.

But what is the name of a certain person now?

The room was cold, Xiang Tao rubbed his hands and said, "You were the first person sent out of Yulin Lane by Duke Shen. Everyone was surprised, so many people are asking who Wang Shao is. Now you are really famous."

Wang Shao shook his head in disbelief.

Xiang Tao helped him tidy up the room, and when he finished later, Wang Shao said with a smile: "I am short of money, but I can still afford a pot of turbid wine. How about I go to a wine shop to get drunk today?"

Xiang Tao looked at him in surprise, "When you left the capital, I remember you being depressed, but why are you so cheerful today? You look completely different."

Wang Shao went out, locked the door, and said, "People have inner demons, and they need a wise sword to kill them."

"I know you practice swordsmanship, but I haven't heard of Hui Jian."

Wang Shao turned around and strode out.

"When I came back, I was still depressed. But after meeting someone and giving me some advice, I suddenly became enlightened and felt like I had been reborn."

"It's really a complete transformation!"

Xiang Tao felt that Wang Shao had changed too much, "What are you looking at...yes, vibrant, full of vitality. Who is that person?"

"Mr. Shen."

Xiang Tao stopped, "Can he actually change you with just one word?"

Wang Shao nodded, "It's like reincarnation."

"You are so lucky!" Xiang Tao said enviously: "Not only did you get the attention of Duke Shen, but you also got his advice. Hey, what official did you get this time?"

Wang Shao said: "The Deputy Privy Council accepts the decree."

He feels this is just the starting point.

Xiang Tao stopped talking. Wang Shao was curious and asked, "Why don't you talk?"

This person talks a lot, and no one will get used to it if he stops talking.

Xiang Tao looked at him with a strange expression, which made Wang Shao's hair stand on end, "Why are you looking at someone like that?"

Xiang Tao shook his head and sighed, suddenly slapped Wang Shao on the shoulder hard, and said in an envious and jealous manner: "Zichun, do you know where Duke Shen was an official back then?"

"I don't know."

For people like Wang Shao, in his eyes there is only the matter itself. He doesn't pay attention to things other than work. So he later fell out with Wang Anshi.

Xiang Tao took a deep breath and looked at him like a fool, "Jun Shen served as the deputy minister of the Privy Council back then. Later, Tang Ren, whom he personally brought out, also held this position... Zichun, you will have a backer in the future. I'm so jealous. If I don't get you drunk today, I'll feel bad. Let's go quickly."

Wang Shaoleng was there. Xiang Tao hooked his shoulder and said, "Hurry and leave."

"good."

"Did you know that Lord Shen was the number one diplomat in the Song Dynasty?"

"Uh... no wonder I asked you to talk to the Xixia people."

"Tsk tsk! This is a chance for you! Where is Duke Shen?"

"He took the lead, but he said that this time, someone will be the leader."

"This is to suppress you! Zichun, you are so lucky to be cultivated like this by Lord Shen. Someone is going to get you drunk today!"

…

Yang Chengsong, the Xixia envoy, was drinking in the post house at the moment.

"It is said that a man named Wang Shao is talking to us."

Yang Chengsong put down his wine glass, reached out and picked up a piece of dried meat and put it into his mouth, chewing it loudly.

"What about Shen An?" Deputy envoy Li Xun was a powerful man and very arrogant. He looked sideways at Yang Chengsong, "Is Shen An afraid?"

"You are overthinking." Yang Chengsong said calmly: "Then Shen An just captured Suizhou last time, and the army led by the empress was also repulsed. What is he afraid of us?"

He looked at the arrogant Li Xun and frowned slightly, feeling that it was not a good idea to send this person as an envoy.

But Queen Mother Liang's life was not easy.

She is a Han woman, and a Han woman holds power in Xixia, which has been criticized by many people. Some people even said behind her back that she would give Xixia to the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager Liang must constantly show her teeth and provoke the Song Dynasty, and even need to launch constant attacks to eliminate the slander of those enemies.

When Li Liangzuo was in power, he continued to promote Chineseization, which made many people very dissatisfied. After the Empress Dowager Liang came to power, she ordered the abandonment of Han customs and a return to the old Xixia rules, which won her praise from some people.

This is a life and death struggle.

As a Chinese woman, Empress Dowager Liang had to show her ferocity and her closeness to the powerful.

She had to win over the powerful, so letting Li Xun come to Bianliang as deputy envoy this time was a compromise.

Look, the envoy is sent to Bianliang, and the deputy envoy is a powerful person. Do you think it is unreasonable to say that I am devoted to the Song Dynasty?

There is no doubt that Li Xun was not suitable to be sent as an envoy, but the political situation in Xixia required him to go as an envoy. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

This is a compromise.

Li Xun suddenly dropped his wine glass and asked, "Is there a woman here?"

Yang Chengsong shook his head, "No, then Shen An said that foreigners are not worthy of getting close to women from the Song Dynasty. From then on, the envoys who come to Bianliang can only hold back."

Li Xun suddenly lowered his voice, "There are a few good-looking people in the mission..."

Yang Chengsong lowered his head, hiding the disgust in his eyes.

This man is just a beast in heat!

"I'm going out for a walk."

Yang Chengsong nodded, and after he left, he asked someone to come in, "Follow him, don't let him cause trouble. Remember, Song people today are different from the past, and we can't get away with it if we cause trouble."

Later, news came that Li Xun was drinking in a wine shop, and the Song people did not stop him.

"Song people are becoming more and more generous."

Yang Chengsong smiled bitterly.

But Li Xun in the wine shop was smiling frivolously at several female waitresses.

The sound of music is long and the dance is moving.

The diners in the wine shop were watching.

When the song ended, everyone cheered loudly.

"good!"

"That's a good dance!"

"How much money can I sleep on!"

While everyone was cheering, an obscene voice suddenly appeared. They couldn't help but become furious and looked back.

Li Xun held a piece of exchanged banknotes in his hand, raised his eyebrows and asked again: "How much is it?"
