A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 172 Fainted again and rebelled

Zhao Zhen looked at Shen An, who looked calm, and felt that all this was just a dream.

He could actually guess what Jin Chengdao said...

Wang Anshi was also confused. He had just arrived in Bianliang yesterday and did not understand the recent changes in the court, let alone Shen An's exposure to witchcraft and elixirs, so he was immediately confused.

Shen An was also confused. He just said it casually before, but he didn't expect it to be right.

Which god is passing by?

Shen An faced these shocked gazes calmly, feeling like a pioneer of the times, able to see a thousand years into the future at a glance, but the people around him were all natives.

This feeling...

He resisted the feeling of overlooking all sentient beings and said: "Your Majesty, since the Korean envoy likes to eat mutton, you can't be stingy. You have to send three or five heads to the envoy to satisfy his greed."

Only then did Zhao Zhen wake up and remember that the Korean envoy was still there.

He glanced at Shen An first, and then said: "That's exactly what it is, come on."

"His Majesty!"

Chen Zhongheng came out to wait for orders.

Zhao Zhen looked at Shen An with emotion in his heart.

"Ask someone to send some sheep to the Korean envoy. If it is inconvenient to roast them, then roast them before sending them."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chen Zhongheng responded loudly, and then went out to make arrangements.

But the Korean envoy was busy doing business all day long, so he didn't have enough money to buy sheep?

not bad.

It's just humiliating.

Humiliation was nothing. Zhao Zhen cut off the Korean envoy's business affairs without a single blow, and Jin Chengdao felt that his family had made a lot of money.

So he bowed to thank him, and his beaming look gave Zhao Zhen some insights.

As soon as Jin Chengdao left, Zhao Zhen asked: "This person is arrogant in front and respectful in the back. Could it be that... no..."

"It's just shameless."

Shen An said the rest for him, "Messengers should be shameless, but Jin Chengdao is obviously more powerful."

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the bandits back then..."

He couldn't say the next words.

If it weren't for Kou Zhun's shamelessness in the Chanyuan Alliance back then, the Song Dynasty would have to pay many more coins every year.

Thinking of Kou Zhun, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but compare Shen An with him, and then shook his head, feeling that they were not the same people at all.

Kou Zhun loves power, and he is probably like Wen Yanbo. He doesn't want to step down after becoming prime minister. Even after he steps down, he will try every possible means to plan his return to the court.

But Shen An was different. If he hadn't been arranged to go to the Privy Council, the young man would probably have continued to squat at home.

Do you regard fame and wealth as dirt?

Zhao Zhen sighed in his heart, thinking that the young man was simple and didn't have so many tricks up his sleeve.

He calmed down and then said: "Diplomacy is of great importance. You should pay more attention to it and leave it alone."

This is a slap in the face.

And it was a slap in the face of a group of prime ministers.

——You don’t understand diplomacy, and you are not even as good as this young man Shen An. This is not okay! Just study hard.

Well, a group of old people were standing there dumbfounded at the moment.

Everyone left slowly, with Han Qi following in the middle. After walking out of the hall, the light outside suddenly penetrated his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

Shen An in front walked briskly and was already walking farther and farther.

Shen An was in a good mood, and what was even better was that Jin Chengdao really relented as he expected.

The four rooms of the Privy Council were full of thorns, but Shen An suppressed Cao Yun, a descendant, and then stopped a fight in front of the Liao Embassy...

The atmosphere in the Privy Council was a bit gloomy due to the corruption case involving the Fourth Chamber Deputy Chengzhi, so Shen An's task was to cheer them up.

Just today, the former Privy Councilor Han Qi found out the mistakes in the ceremonial room and whipped his corpse. This was a heavy blow.

But Shen An turned the danger into safety. Not only did he defuse the attack, but he also accurately judged that Jin Chengdao would come to subdue him.

After the news spreads back, I believe the morale of the four rooms of the Privy Council will be greatly boosted.

"Prime Minister Han! Hey! Prime Minister Han! Someone, give me a hand!"

When Shen An turned around, he saw the ministers and assistants hurriedly supporting Han Qi, and a servant behind him saw it and ran over to interrogate him.

Han Qi closed his eyes tightly and seemed to have fainted again.

Is this guy so weak?

Shen An smiled and didn't think about whether he was really dizzy or fake.

After leaving the palace, Shen An saw two censors standing outside the door, with serious expressions on their faces and holding memorials in their hands, obviously intending to cheat.

The person who impeached someone was referred to as "The Impeachment Person" by Shen An.

“Who to impeach?”

In a good mood, Shen An felt that the sky was lighting up for him, so he asked casually.

But the censor wouldn't pay attention to him, he just snorted coldly.

Shen An shook his head and sighed: "Play and play, you have to play in the right place. If you play the piano randomly all day long and get carried away, then you still play... a bird."

Yushitai was not on good terms with him, so Shen An didn't want to seek peace and would do it if he refused.

The two censors were furious and were about to scold them when a horse flew from outside.

"Urgent report! Urgent report!"

When Shen An saw the knight approaching fiercely, he quickly stepped to the side. However, because the two censors were glaring at him, their reaction was slower and they were almost hit.

The knight dismounted and used the momentum to run forward as soon as he landed.

"Good skill!"

Shen An couldn't help but praise, and then saw Du Ziling, the chief steward of the Privy Council, arriving.

Du Ziling's face was solemn and he came quickly.

"We all accept the decree, what's the big deal?"

When Shen An saw this, he knew that something big was going on, so he asked tentatively.

If it was confidential, Du Ziling would definitely not answer.

"Chenqiao's Zhangjiacun rebelled."

I go!

Shen An was stunned for a moment, thinking that a village was revolting... You are as nervous as when the Liao Kingdom invaded. What are you doing?

Du Ziling hurried in, but the two censors were still waiting for the announcement, but judging from the eagerness of Du Ziling and the previous knight, these two people would definitely not be able to get in today.

They themselves knew it, so they talked about what happened just now.

"The village over Chenqiao is definitely not big, but it is close to Kaifeng. There is a rebellion near the capital, this..."

Only then did Shen An suddenly realize that the political influence was so bad!

Just when Zhao Zhen was about to sit down and rest, someone came outside to report that the prime ministers and assistants were back again.

"Something's happened, hurry up! Go right away!"

Years of experience as an emperor told Zhao Zhen that the matter must be serious, so he hurried back.

Before the charcoal fire in Chui Gong Hall was removed, the monarch and his ministers reappeared.

Song Xiang had already received news about Du Ziling and the knights, so he went out and said: "Your Majesty, there is a rebellion in Zhangjiacun outside Chenqiao..."

Zhao Zhen's breathing tightened, and then he felt a little sad.

I manage this Song Dynasty diligently every day, but why are there always people dissatisfied?

"Why?"

The official's voice was a little hoarse, which made all the prime ministers and assistants startled, and then they all lowered their heads.

Chenqiao is an indelible imprint of the Song Dynasty. For the emperor, it was the place where the Zhao family made their fortune, but it was also a place worthy of vigilance.

Whenever the name Chenqiao was heard, the emperor should reflect on whether his rule was sound.

If it is not done safely, the next Chen Qiao will appear.

The knight was called in. It was probably the first time he saw the emperor and the prime minister, so he was very nervous. UU read www.uukanshu. net

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Don't panic, speak slowly."

The officials are indeed kind!

The knight calmed down and said: "Your Majesty, Zhangjiacun was hit by a snowstorm this time, but there were two old soldiers in the village who had just retired. As a result, they drank too much, so they shouted loudly, and then everyone in the village became restless... Now they are rebelling."

Zhao Zhen was not worried at all, because this was just a small problem.

But he was a little sad.

He looked at the ministers and asked, "I remember that I asked you about waiting for the snow disaster the day before yesterday. They said that the arrangements were in place, but what is this?"

Zhao Zhen rarely reprimanded and questioned Zaifu, but because of this, every rebuke and question seemed so solemn.

"Why did those two old soldiers rebel?"

Fu Bi felt that there might be something wrong with this matter.

The knight said: "It seems that he was originally promoted, but his merit was ignored, and then he was kicked back..."

Fu Bi was annoyed, so he looked at Song Xiang and said, "Where did this matter come from?"

This matter can be easily settled, but the person responsible must be found out.

Song Xiang said: "The Military Room of the Privy Council is in charge of this."

The barracks is in charge of these things, but if you want to check, you have to go back and look through the promotion files at that time to see who replaced those two veterans.

"Go and see!"

Zhao Zhen didn't like this kind of wrangling atmosphere, so he said decisively: "Go to the military room director, who is that... Shen An is the deputy, so let him go too."

When the official's order reached Shen An, he was sitting at a stall outside the palace gate eating soup cakes.

The person who delivered the order was a chamberlain. He said hurriedly: "The official orders you to go immediately."

Shen An was startled and asked, "Why me?"

But no one answered this question.

The fifth update is here, everyone, take a rest early, Jazz continues to have fun.
