A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Uncle Guo broke Xia Zheng's leg, but he hit it right and saved Shen An. But what about the remaining officials?"

Zeng Gongliang was complaining, "There is really no place to resettle them in Bianliang. According to my idea, we will resettle them in Luoyang. Luoyang is not too far from Bianliang and is an important place. They are willing to come if they want."

"Shen Anke agreed?" Han Qi asked suddenly while taking a nap.

"He refused to agree, saying that some things should not set a precedent. Once a precedent is set, it will be difficult to seal it later."

Zeng Gongliang smiled bitterly and said: "Why don't I know this? It's just that I've been a little uneasy everywhere recently."

Han Qi opened his eyes, "The memorial was too sparse, and the words were fierce, saying that the officials wanted to abandon the world."

There were a lot of bloodshot eyes in his eyes, showing the hard work.

"Yes! Someone said that Emperor Taizu said that the Song Dynasty was dominated by scholar-bureaucrats... No, it was the officials and scholar-officials who ruled the world together, but the officials treated the scholar-officials with such contempt, which is heartbreaking."

Zeng Gongliang covered his face, rubbed it hard a few times, and felt better, "This matter needs to be urgent. It was the cause of Fan Wenzheng's resignation, right?"

As a witness of that year, Han Qi sighed and said: "Yes! Back then, Fan Wenzheng was the first to regulate the officials, which offended the interests of many people. The crowd was so excited that it was unstoppable!"

"But what about this time?"

Bao Zheng suddenly said: "The Song Dynasty is booming, what truth can those people say?"

Han Qi smiled and said, "Xiren, those people are never unreasonable. What they rely on is their own strength in numbers."

"That's it!" Bao Zheng said calmly: "There are quite a few of us."

"My lords, the officials who have gone to the northwest have gathered."

A clerk came outside, looking a little sad.

"The wind is rustling and the water is cold!"

Han Qi yawned and stood up, "Let's go and have a look."

Everyone went outside.

This street is the center of the Song Dynasty. The Privy Council on the left looks a little deserted, while there are more than a hundred people standing outside the Political Hall.

These are the officials who are preparing to set off to take up posts in the territories recovered in the northwest.

Seeing the prime ministers and assistants coming out, these officials were still silent and looked lifeless.

It’s the same in any era. No one goes to difficult places, but everyone grabs the lead in prosperous places.

The most critical of these is unfair distribution.

Officials who struggled in the northwest and southwest did not receive the rewards they deserved, while those who served as officials in Bianliang and other places had everything going smoothly, with the greatest opportunities for promotion and fortune.

This has had a very bad effect. Both talents and mediocre people are crowded into Bianliang, while no one cares about the northwest region.

"Most of them were forced to go there, so they were very dissatisfied."

Zeng Gongliang whispered.

Han Qi nodded, and then said: "The northwest has been a serious concern of the Song Dynasty since the Li family's rebellion. Now that the northwest has been restored, governance is the top priority. The officials and the political affairs hall value you and others very much. Just go, and if you look back, Given the opportunity, the DPRK will naturally transfer you and others back to Bianliang."

He didn't believe what he said, and the officials below naturally didn't believe it either.

"Have a good time doing it."

Zeng Gongliang felt that such morale would be a disaster in the northwest, so he said: "Those who are unwilling to work hard will be severely punished!"

Damn it!

Han Qi glanced at him and thought that he could only comfort him at this time. If you threaten him, it would be strange if these people didn't explode.

"The countless redundant officials in Bianliang, can they concentrate on their work?"

Under normal circumstances, officials would not dare to offend Zaifu, but at this moment, these officials who were about to go to the bitter cold area in the northwest broke out in despair.

An official shouted: "They are idle all day long, why should they be given priority for promotion? Why? But we are going to the bitter cold land in the northwest. We have been away for years, and we don't know when we will come back..."

"Why?"

What people fear most is injustice, and Zeng Gongliang's words were just an introduction, which aroused the emotions of these officials.

"not going!"

An official said sadly and angrily: "I don't want to go to the northwest anymore. It's a good thing I don't want to be an official anymore!"

"No more!"

"I'm waiting to resign!"

This momentum is wrong!

Han Qi coughed dryly, "I promise..."

These officials were reluctant to lose their official positions, so they reluctantly went to the northwest. But now their emotions got up and they suddenly lost their minds.

If we don't suppress it, all the prime ministers and assistants will be scolded later.

"No one can guarantee it!"

Everyone is involved in officialdom, who doesn’t know all the twists and turns!

What guarantee? After a year and a half, who will remember that there is such a group of people in the northwest fighting for the Song Dynasty?

nobody!

"Hey! Is Mr. Zeng here?"

A clerk ran over in a hurry.

Zeng Gongliang was annoyed when he heard this and cursed: "What are you shouting for?"

The clerk raised a stack of paper in his hand and said happily: "Prime Minister Zeng, those people all said they were going to the northwest!"

Zeng Gongliang was startled, "Who?"

"They are the officials who came out of the Third Division. They volunteered to go to the northwest to serve as officials."

"Bring it!"

Zeng Gongliang went through the roster, glanced at the signatures, and said happily: "Are you so loyal?"

The impassioned officials were astonished, thinking that just when we here said we didn't want to go to the northwest, those officials from the third division who had been making a lot of noise recently took the initiative to ask for help.

What does it mean?

"The officials who were said by Shen Longtu were so ashamed. Now everyone is rushing to be the first, saying that they will serve the officials and the Song Dynasty."

The clerk watched Shen An's words and deeds throughout the whole process, and was filled with admiration.

Zeng Gongliang waved the roster and said, "This is loyalty!"

The group of officials opposite were sitting on wax.

"Are you going or not?" Zeng Gongliang has been very worried about them these past few days. At this moment, he can't help but feel that he has a bright mind. "It's okay if you don't want to go. Let's go back each other."

Just wait to be put into small shoes when you go back.

"Go! Go down to the official position!"

"Go too!"

"Who said X won't go? X's baggage has been packed."

"..."

People have a herd mentality, and most people will choose to follow the pandemic, so when the situation reverses there, it will also turn here.

This is overwhelming!

Later, when the prime ministers and ministers entered the political hall and were ready to listen to the explanation of the junior official, Zhao Shu summoned someone to summon them.

"You go too."

The little official never thought that he would have the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the saint, and he was so excited that he could not speak coherently.

"Little man... I'm afraid I can't, little man."

"Then get lost!" Han Qi was beaming with joy at the moment, scolding others so kindly.

Later I met Zhao Shu, who was also beaming with joy.

"How did this happen? Who will tell me?"

The junior official stood up excitedly, "I have met Your Majesty. I was there at that time. Shen Longtu's words made those officials wake up and cry out to serve Your Majesty and the Song Dynasty."

"Tell me about it." Zhao Shu felt comfortable all over, wishing that Tang Ren was by his side so that he could listen to his flattery.

"Shen Longtu talked about some gossip at first, and then suddenly he talked about a lifetime..."

The clerk talked about Shen An's views on ideals and his metaphors, and then recited the poem, but he didn't remember it all.

"...I was worried that being passionate would harm my holy life, and when I entered the mountains, I was afraid of not being able to live in a beautiful city. I have peace in this world, and I will live up to the Tathagata and live up to you."

The junior official remembers these sentences most clearly.

"The world is safe and sound, and I will live up to the Tathagata and live up to you." Zhao Shu was a little happy, but it was because he thought of the childhood sweethearts of himself and his wife.

"A poem that makes people miss the old days." Han Qi was also a young boy back then, and he was also talented and beautiful, but now he has become a greasy old bacon, and he misses the high-spiritedness of the past.

"That bastard wrote poetry again, but unfortunately it was a little more lingering."

The clerk continued: "Later Shen Longtu also listed Kuang Heng and Wang Xizhi..."

After saying this, the monarch and his ministers nodded frequently.

What is positive energy? This is positive energy.

"He also talked about Wang Shao's deeds..."

Wang Shao can be said to be a representative figure of counterattack and the most inspirational.

"Those people's faces turned red, and Shen Longtu led them to shout."

"What are you shouting?" Bao Zheng's eyelids twitched, remembering what Shen An said when he first arrived in Bianliang.

——It’s noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the soil. I learned how to make pot stickers every day.

——If you don’t accompany me when the sun goes down, who will you be when I rise again?

The clerk said excitedly: "I'm not afraid of thousands of people stopping me, I'm just afraid of the difficulties myself!"

He actually shouted out.

Chen Zhongheng saw that a chamberlain beside him was breathing rapidly. He was obviously inspired by the words of the young official just now.

"Time waits for me, industry waits for me, and people wait for me!"

The clerk shouted all the way, and finally raised his arms and shouted loudly.

His shouts echoed in the hall, and Zhao Shu smiled and said: "My heart is actually moved, and for a moment I feel that I have wasted years."

"The same is true for me." Han Qi said melancholy: "I think about my youth. If I could go back to those days, I would work harder and entertain people with poems. What's the use of that?"

When people reach his age, they realize that all flattery is fake, just passing smoke, and not worth lingering on.

"This is a good start." Zhao Shu's face was rosy and he looked very happy. "The first batch went to the northwest smoothly. Later, we will clear out some officials. Do you want to go? If you don't go, you will receive the money and go home. . Once the officials are in charge, it will be difficult for the Song Dynasty not to prosper. I am happy in my heart!"

"Yes, I am also happy." Zeng Gongliang has been in charge of these things recently and is overwhelmed, so he feels relieved at this moment. "Shen An's words moved those officials and made me feel ashamed."

Bao Zheng sighed, and just as he was about to speak, someone came outside.

"Your Majesty, Shen An has sent me a memorial."

"Bring it here." Zhao Shu nodded with a smile.

Later he took the memorial, opened it and took a look.

"Shen An said... the governance of officials should be based on fairness and credibility. Absolute fairness cannot be achieved, but we must try our best. For example, these officials who go to the northwest must always remember that those who have made meritorious services must be praised, rewarded, and Rewards and promotions, in a word, don't let people shed tears and bleed after suffering a loss, otherwise the credibility of the government will be gone sooner or later, and people will be confused and only think about benefits..."

Zhao Shu raised his head and read a book www.uukanshu.net "What do you think, sir?"

"Great kindness!" Han Qi praised: "That's exactly what it should be!"

"Those words are very good. You should not let people suffer losses and shed tears or bleed." Zeng Gongliang said: "These words should be put out and let the officials listen. After all, those who have some shame should work hard."

Zhao Shu nodded, stood up and said, "This is the first battle at the beginning of the official administration. I am very happy to win this battle."

Han Qi said: "This is also a battle for the New Deal. This battle is a great victory. I congratulate Your Majesty!"

Zhao Shu looked at him and said with a smile: "Public administration is related to the rise and fall of the world, you should congratulate the Song Dynasty!"

The ministers bowed and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to the Great Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Shu opened his hands and felt countless lights falling into his arms, and couldn't help laughing loudly.

"Ha ha ha ha!"
