A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1537: Lao Wen, take the move

Shen An knew that Fu Bi would go crazy, so he resigned and went home.

But he underestimated Fu Bi.

"Get out of the way!"

Just as Shen An was about to walk to Jiang Xing, Fu Bi's shout came from behind him. The voice was anxious and full of evil spirits.

Shen An looked back and saw Fu Bi staring directly at him, turning from trotting to galloping.

The old rich guy is going crazy!

The two started running one after the other. Shen An exercises regularly and is young and strong, so he can run with ease. But Fu Bi was out of breath after a while. When they reached Yulin Alley, Shen An disappeared in a flash, and Fu Bi walked in unsteadily.

He walked all the way to the front door of Shen's house, then turned around and sat on the steps, slumped and speechless.

Zhuang Laoshi has been watching from the crack in the door behind him.

Half an hour later, Fu Bi was still sitting like this, with his head hanging down, as if he was out of breath.

"Mr. Lang, please don't..."

Zhuang Laoshi looked panicked.

If Fu Bi died at the gate of Shen's house, Zhuang Lao Da dared to guarantee that the place would be immediately surrounded by countless people. Those who hated Shen An would light the Shen's house on fire and rush in.

Shen An sighed and opened the side door, "Please come in, Mr. Rich."

It was difficult for Fu Bi to get up, and he couldn't even hold on to the door. Shen An went over to help him get up and then entered the house.

"I..."

Fu Bi looked at Shen An, his lips twitching, "You have to know that the warriors in those years were like beasts, with no loyalty to their family and country."

"Yes, the boy knows."

Shen An, who has read many history books in later generations, certainly knows.

The warriors of the former Tang Dynasty completely destroyed the credibility of warriors, so that from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, warriors were just rats on the street.

Fu Bi slapped the table and roared: "The former Tang Dynasty had a chance to rise again, but what are those warriors doing? Making trouble! Making trouble everywhere,"

Shen An helped him sit down, made tea for him personally, and then sat down and said, "But what about the former Han Dynasty? Powerful ministers were in power. In the end, the Han Dynasty was in ruins. So, what is the difference between a wealthy prime minister, a powerful minister, and a warrior man?"

Fu Bi blinked, "How can this compare?"

Shen An comes from an era of information explosion, where all kinds of information are intertwined. In terms of the complexity of knowledge, the two Fu Bi combined could not compare to him.

"Why can't we compare?" Shen An frowned and said, "The fight is about who will be in charge of the army, right?"

Fu Bi nodded, this is the core of using culture to control force.

Generals are in charge of the army, but when going on an expedition, the emperor orders generals and his subordinates are drawn from various places. This is what is said about generals not knowing the soldiers.

"The Song Dynasty had enough means to restrain military personnel, but when it came to military and state affairs, the subordinates believed that eating should not be abandoned due to choking!"

Shen An asked: "Does the rich prime minister think that it is the civilian officials who know the soldiers or the military personnel? Does the civilian officials know the details of the enemy's army, or does the military personnel know the details?"

Fu Bi said nothing and then stood up.

He just walked away.

This means I can't help you, but I stick to my point of view and will not give in.

Fu Bi felt that his strategy was right, but Shen An just smiled.

If he only had this means, how could he launch a surprise attack?

He stood up and walked outside, looking up.

The sun is just right and the autumn breeze is refreshing.

He stretched out his hands and murmured: "After all these years, it's time to show off my management. My team, my...ideal."

The matter escalated rapidly, and Fu Bi wrote letters for several days, explaining his subsequent plans for the Privy Council, but he was somewhat scratching the surface.

Zhao Shu was silent and his attitude was unclear.

In the following days, Shen An and his group began to take action.

Someone is writing.

"My lord, Wang Anshi has written a letter advising the military men to go to the Privy Council for consultation at the right time."

At Mangshan Academy, Wang Yu was sitting in the duty room and said coldly: "Fu Bi should be killed!"

In the Privy Council, Fu Bi waved his hand with a stern expression.

"Ms. sir, Bao Zheng is submitting a letter..."

Fu Bi sighed, knowing that Bao Zheng still cared about Shen An the most and was even willing to violate his position for him.

"My lord, Su Shi is writing."

Nobody!

"Ms. Sir, Tang Ren, the third division commander, has submitted a letter."

"My lord, Prime Minister Han said at the court meeting that we should separate the planning of the war and let the three yamen take responsibility."

Fu Bi's eyes narrowed, "Han Qi actually reached out to help Shen An?"

He covered his forehead and said: "The Third Yamen... If the Third Yamen interferes with the planning again, they will definitely lose their tail. Han Qi is encircling Wei to save Zhao, old man! Shameless!"

Fu Bi entered the palace.

"Your Majesty, I believe this matter cannot be spread."

He looked at Han Qi.

Han Qi stretched out her belly towards him.

Where is Zeng Gongliang?

Zeng Gongliang lowered his head. He wore a new pair of shoes today. They looked so good that he couldn't bear to look away.

Bao Zheng sighed: "We have all experienced war formations, and naturally we know that war formations are not simple. Hiding in the Privy Council and talking about military affairs on paper, being rich and powerful will harm the country."

Fu Bi raised his head and said, "There are other ways, such as letting civilian officials go to the military..."

An idea flashed through his mind like a flash of lightning, and his back immediately became sweaty.

Could Shen An want to use this to suggest that civilian officials should lead the army?

impossible!

Civilians can lead the army on expeditions, but they cannot be allowed to lead the army in peacetime, otherwise they will still be a threat.

During the Pre-Han Dynasty, what happened to the Yuan family with four generations and three princes? This is a typical example of civilian officials turning into warlords.

Fu Bi said firmly: "Civilian officials cannot lead the army for a long time!"

Zhao Shu nodded, finally showing some appreciation.

If Fu Bi said that civilian officials could lead the army for a long time, he would slap him without hesitation.

The king and his ministers looked at each other, and Zhao Shu said, "Let's take a look at this matter."

Everyone nodded, thinking it would be a good idea to put it on hold for now.

"Your Majesty, I have a memorial."

"It's a memorial from Henan Prefecture."

Someone came outside, and Chen Zhongheng went to pick up the memorial and came in.

"Judge Henan Prefecture Wen Yanbo..."

After Wen Yanbo stepped down, he was followed by the observance of filial piety. After the observance of filial piety was over, he was sentenced to Henan Prefecture. He is an old minister, and Zhao Shu will not be stingy with the generous treatment he deserves.

For example, memorials can be submitted at any time.

Zhao Shu read the memorial and raised his head, with anger in his eyes, "Wen Yanbo said that if the Northern Expedition is to be carried out, veteran generals should be recruited into the Privy Council to prepare for the emperor's consultation..."

There are many people behind Wen Yanbo.

His statement at this moment was to force the palace, but it was Fu Bi who was forced.

Things that you, Fu Bi, think are inappropriate, I think are very good.

One of Wen Yanbo's memorials was written with so much literary talent that Zhao Shu thought it could be appreciated as a beautiful essay.

Shen An and Wen Yanbo colluded?

Zhao Shu looked at Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng endorsed Shen An without hesitation, "Your Majesty, I guarantee that Shen An is not that kind of person."

Zhao Shu nodded with a smile, but his smile was a little forced.

He glanced at the ministers and said calmly: "I can naturally trust the loyalty of the ministers. Shen An... he has lived and died for the Song Dynasty. I will not doubt him."

"Your Majesty is wise."

The prime ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's break up."

Zhao Shu looked a little tired.

The ministers and assistants went out until they were far away from the palace. Zeng Gongliang said: "I feel something is wrong about this matter. How long has it been since Shen An Jianyan? Wen Kuanfu is in Henan Mansion. Even if it is a fast horse, it takes two or three times to deliver the news. Come on, who tipped him off?"

He cast his eyes on Bao Zheng with suspicion.

The administrative seat of Henan Prefecture is Luoyang, Xijing, not far from Bianliang. Wen Yanbo squatted there and waited eagerly for the king's call, which really made people wary.

Bao Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Do you want to say that it was Shen An who ventilated the air with him? I am here. If he needs to ventilate, it should be me. I will not let Shen An take risks..."

Bao Zheng and Wen Yanbo have a good relationship and are political allies. It is normal for them to pass news between them, and no one can blame them.

Zeng Gongliang nodded, "Of course I believe you."

Bao Zheng is cheating... The prime ministers and ministers all rejected this judgment in their hearts.

If Bao Zheng knew such means, he would not waste time in his official career. At that time, he impeached several third ministers, and his method could be described as making people speechless. In the end, he was fatally struck by Ouyang Xiu. If Shen An hadn't been there, he wouldn't have been able to get off stage that time.

If such a person wants to use tricks, he can't hide it from everyone.

Han Qi murmured: "I know Shen An's nature. He seems to be cunning, but he looks down on old officials like Wen Kuanfu."

The so-called old official is a title that despises Wen Yanbo, and also alludes to Wen Yanbo's tricks.

He felt that Shen An should look down on Wen Yanbo.

This is also true.

On the way to the palace, Shen An was thinking about something while listening to Chen Zhongheng's muttering.

"Ouyang Xiu is ill. The doctor said he is suffering from premature aging..."

"I know." He has seen young whiteheads and heard of premature aging.

"The officials are hesitating." Chen Zhongheng suddenly stopped and looked at him, and said solemnly: "The officials are not kind to you."

"Yes." Shen An smiled and said, "I know what to do."

He looked up at Qiu Ri and suddenly smiled.

Later he met Zhao Shu, who was in plain clothes.

"I feel very comfortable wearing these clothes." Zhao Shu explained in one sentence that he did not want to leave the palace incognito. He looked at the innocent Shen An and asked: "Have Wen Yanbo ever contacted you?"

Shen An didn't even think about it, "When I returned from the northwest, he sent people to my home to congratulate him..."

After the great victory in the northwest, Wen Yanbo was good at cultivating relationships with the camp, so sending a servant to congratulate him was nothing.

Zhao Shu nodded, "Of course I believe in you."

It’s weird if you believe me!

Shen An continued to pretend to be an honest person.

"Wen Yanbo... what do you think of Wen Qing?"

He was called Wen Yanbo at the beginning and Wen Qing at the end. This shows the uncertainty in Zhao Shu's heart. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

The matter is settled.

Shen An was secretly happy and said: "Your Majesty, Duke Lu is kind and has the air of an elder. When I see him, I am like a spring breeze. Back then..."

When Chen Zhongheng saw him on the side, he actually looked a bit scared, and he really wanted to poke his eyes out.

This person is actually stunned?

But Zhao Shu thought of the Hetu incident that year.

"What happened in Hetu?" He asked casually.

"Your Majesty's good memory makes me ashamed." Shen An said sincerely: "Back then, I felt that Duke Lu was amiable, so I reported it immediately after receiving the report. Now that I think about it, I was impulsive at that time. A little more."

Back then, someone dropped a report letter into Shen's house at night. It said that someone had obtained the Hetu and gave it to Wen Yanbo. Shen An got the report and reported it, giving Wen Yanbo a warning in advance, which was a favor to him.

Zhao Shu's heart moved and he nodded secretly, "You are fine."

Elderly people, for example, Ouyang Xiu is like this, but old Ouyang has bad eyesight and treats everyone like this. And he's sick now, so it's useless.

But Wen Yanbo was different. This man was in good health and obsessed with power.

What does it mean for such people to show off their elder demeanor everywhere?

Zhao Shu waved his hand and Shen An resigned.

After Shen An came out, he couldn't help but laugh.

Originally, assists from Han Qi, Bao Zheng and others were enough, but Wen Yanbo stepped in. Now, Fu Bi's hatred was drawn to Wen Yanbo, and Shen An and others escaped unscathed.

But Wen Yanbo's act was unreasonable, and Shen An was immediately suspected of being cunning, so he fought back without hesitation.

Lao Wen, just take the initiative.
