A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Zhao Shu's experience was quite bumpy. In the original history, he was even more crazy and left without much fuss.

But now he is gradually gaining more power, his condition is under good control, and he is very concerned about his children.

"Shen An said that Bao An was innocent, but I thought he wanted to say that Bao An was stupid. If he was paired with a so-called talented person, such stupid Bao An would definitely be bullied by that talented person. Yes, those talented people... Fei Yan, tell me."

Feiyan came over from the side. Zhao Shu just took one look and decided to sleep alone tonight.

"I went to inquire about the words and deeds of the talented people outside. Most of them like to drink and have sex. They have a lot of friends and prostitutes. They get drunk every day. The women in the family change again and again. And... they also like to treat the women in the family with others. exchange……"

"Dirty! Shameless!"

Gao Taotao's eyes were full of anger, "I never imagined that these so-called talented men look like this. If it weren't for Shen An, Bao'an would have been harmed by me."

Zhao Shu covered his forehead and said, "I am also wrong about this matter. Many people in the court were talented people back then, especially the ministers and ministers. When I saw the ministers and ministers acting prudently, I thought that the same was true for the talented people outside..."

Zhaojun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Officials, I have something to say."

Zhao Shu nodded, and then Zhaojun said: "If those so-called talents are really talented, why can't they pass the Jinshi exam? If they can't even pass the Jinshi exam, how can they be called talents? Shen Longtu has a keen eye for pearls, so he despises this generation!"

Zhao Shuxu patted his forehead and suddenly realized: "I didn't expect this..."

Gao Taotao also looked at Zhaojun in surprise and nodded frequently.

This Zhaojun didn't talk much, but he hit the nail on the head when he opened his mouth.

"You're not bad." Gao Taotao felt that Zhaojun had a bright future.

Zhaojun lowered his head, "Shen Longtugu just said something about talents at home, and it spread all over the world. He said that real talents are either like Su Shi, whose talents are given by nature, while these people are uninhibited, like Li Taibai. And then there are people like Li Taibai. At that time, the prime ministers and others were talented and hard-working, so they were full of knowledge. Finally, there was the third class of so-called talents. They didn't understand shit. They talked about half a bottle of water ringing the bell, and they relied on mutual praise to become a talent. Although they have a good reputation, they cannot help the king or build a family and build a career, so they just like to talk about their character. The so-called character is to make a swollen face and pretend to be fat, and become skinny and skinny. This is their character."

puff!

Zhao Shu, who was drinking tea, spit out the tea in one sip and then coughed.

Gao Taotao patted his back and laughed happily.

"These words hit the nail on the head and peeled off the faces of those talented people." Zhao Shu gasped: "This is also a good thing. The prime ministers and assistants said that people often claim to be talented people to submit papers, which is very annoying. Now Shen An As soon as these remarks come out, those people may not be able to keep it in their faces, and Bianliang will become quieter."

Bianliang is quiet.

Even the business of the restaurant has dropped a lot.

Those talented people most like to go to restaurants to party, where they have good wine, beautiful people, and a lot of friends. Everyone compliments each other, and they suddenly feel that they have reached the peak of their lives and are in a state of ecstasy.

"Shen An's words really lack virtue."

In the political hall, Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but slandered: "The articles and poems of those talented people still have some merits. We should not blindly use the imperial examination to measure their talents..."

Bao Zheng had never seen anyone say bad things about Shen An. Hearing this, he said calmly: "What about the so-called character?"

Well!

Ouyang Xiu said firmly: "Those people must have character."

…

The character is the backbone!

Ma Yue felt that his spine was straight, so after rejecting Shen An's offer to acquire his farm, he gathered his friends for a gathering.

After three drinks, everyone started talking about the New Deal again.

"The exemption money is the most outrageous. Why should we bear the exemption money for those people?"

"That's right, we pay a batch every year. In fact, we pay to exempt those farmers from labor. Why? Whose principle is this?"

"Shen An said this was robbing the rich to give to the poor, but those poor people themselves are poor, so what does that have to do with someone?"

A group of people cursed, drank, and started reciting poems and lyrics.

"The root cause of this matter still lies in Shen'an. If this person is not eliminated, the New Deal will probably be difficult to eliminate."

"But his methods are fierce, who can get rid of him?"

"Why not?" Ma Yue remembered the humiliation of being slapped by Shen An last time, and the depression could not be dissipated. "You act upright and sit upright, so naturally you are not afraid of him."

Someone put down his glass and said angrily: "How about you give it a try?"

"So-and-so has already tried it." Ma Yue said calmly: "Today Shen An said he wanted to buy so-and-so's farm, but so-and-so refused directly. What can he do?"

"Don't be afraid!" Ma Yue's eyes were deep, "Let's hug together. Just think about Houben Gold and Silver Shop. At first, everyone said that they would be crushed by Shen An, but now? Houben Gold and Silver Shop not only It didn’t collapse, but became more and more prosperous. Why is this? It’s because we stick together and work together! As long as we..."

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside. Ma Yue frowned and said, "Come in."

A servant came in from outside and said eagerly: "Lang Jun, earlier the officials and the prime ministers went to the village of Mangshan Army. Shen An said that he wanted to buy the village next door to ours. The officials agreed. Someone came to the door just now and asked us to Come earlier to discuss the price, otherwise we will call him. Our man refused, so he knocked out a tooth."

Damn it!

Ma Yue stood up and shouted: "Let's go to Kaifeng Mansion. I want to see how Bao Zheng protects Shen An today!"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and cupped their hands and said, "Brother Ma, just go, I'll wait here for your good news."

Now that this kind of thing has been exposed, Bao Zheng doesn't dare to cover it up, and will naturally deal with Shen An later.

After Ma Yue left, everyone toasted in celebration.

"Shen An made a mistake this time, and those people just impeached him, which can be regarded as the achievement of destroying the country by suppressing him."

"Let's drink to this!"

"Come on, come on, let's raise a glass!"

Everyone was happy, and the female prostitutes around them hurriedly poured wine, and then they started to live wildly.

The door was suddenly pushed open. This impolite behavior aroused people's hatred. Some people were ready to yell, but were stunned, "Why is Brother Ma back?"

The person who came was Ma Yue, who had just left.

The autumn breeze was refreshing and it was the best time of the year, but Ma Yue was sweating profusely.

"Brother Ma..."

Everyone was puzzled.

As Ma Yue came over, some people noticed that his steps were staggering, and he seemed to be paralyzed when he sat down.

"Why is Brother Ma back?"

When Ma Yue didn't answer, he roughly picked up the wine bottle and poured it into the bottle.

Everyone stared blankly at him drinking.

The wine overflowed from the corner of his mouth and dripped down his chin, but Ma Yue didn't realize it.

He drank a bottle of wine in one breath, then burped and laughed twice.

"Brother Ma, what's going on?"

"Why don't you go to Kaifeng Mansion?"

"I'm not going." Ma Yue lowered his head, remembering what happened outside the restaurant just now.

The man called himself Chen Luo and was a servant of the Shen family. He looked at Ma Yue with contempt and said something that made Ma Yue's heart break.

——Three years ago, your family’s business tax evasion totaled more than 3,000 yuan. It’s time to make up for it.

——Last year, you lobbied for someone’s promotion and received 500 yuan. After the event was completed, you received another calligraphy and painting!

Chen Luo only said two things, and Ma Yue knew that he was finished.

He felt like he was a joke.

Really a joke.

"I think the official's permission is nothing."

Back then, Emperor Renzong wanted to buy surrounding houses to expand the imperial city, but the people didn't agree, so he still had no idea.

So what if the officials say they agree to Shen An’s purchase of the land, so what if I don’t agree?

There were more tears in Ma Yue's eyes, "But then Shen An..."

"Brother Ma, what is going on?" Someone said, "Let's hug each other. This is what you said. If something happens, just talk and let's find a solution together."

Ma Yue shook his head, "Then Shen An..."

He stood up suddenly and rushed out quickly.

Listening to the footsteps rushing down the stairs, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

What's wrong with this guy?

The news came later.

"Ma Yue went to Shen's house to ask for an audience. When he heard about it, his waist was bent and he almost fell to the ground."

"He came out sweating profusely."

Everyone in the capital witnessed Ma Yue's embarrassment.

Later, the farm changed hands, and it was said that one acre of land was sold for only a penny.

Angry!

Many people in the capital were filled with indignation, so Zhao Shu took the pressure.

"One acre of land for just one dollar? How can such a good thing come from?"

Zhao Shu laughed angrily, "I promised him to buy the land, but he actually bought and sold it by force!"

This is taboo!

"Go and ask."

Chen Zhongheng ran to ask questions in person, and when he came back he looked like he had seen a ghost, "Your Majesty, that Ma Yue swore that he sold it voluntarily, and he also sold several shops to Shen An at low prices."

The news that followed was even more speechless.

"Your Majesty, Ma Yue has written a memorial, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net said he was asking for forgiveness."

Zhao Shu took the memorial, just looked at it, and sighed: "Ma Yue bribed and accepted bribes, manipulated the promotion and demotion of officials, and also involved tax evasion..."

Ma Yue's surrender was shocking and puzzling. Someone with good intentions went to the Kaifeng government office to inquire and got the result.

"Then Ma Yue said that if he didn't surrender, he would be beaten to death step by step by Shen An."

Is Shen An so scary?

Cao Yan knew about this. He was drinking with his friend Wang Ji. When Wang Ji mentioned this, Cao Yan laughed and said that Shen An had sent people to the Cao family to ventilate the situation and was preparing to squeeze the Ma family's business. Step by step, his retreat was cut off.

"What did he say it was? A frog boiled in warm water."

Wang Ji sighed: "It's hard to be his opponent."

In the village outside the city, the country soldiers galloped in the fields with big sticks in their hands, beating the wealthy slaves.

"Beat them hard!" Huang Chun shouted: "These slaves are not good people. Beat them to death and then drive them out!"

In Bianliang City, those who were preparing to impeach Shen An burned memorials, while in the thick gold and silver shop, the Xia brothers were smiling bitterly.

Xia Qing said with a headache: "Recently, some new people have come to save money. We were supposed to have a great momentum, but when Ma Yue fell like this, some of them actually took out the money and transferred it to the Dasong Bank opposite. We The momentum has been suppressed again.”

Even Zhao Shu didn't expect that the reason for Shen An's move was because the recent momentum of the Houben Gold and Silver Shop was too strong.

Their strong momentum means that more and more powerful gentry are supporting them.

So how about giving them a stick to wake them up?

So Shen An came with a stick, but Ma Yue became a sacrifice.

Second update.
