A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 215 Subversion, Rejection

"Do you know what you did?"

Before parting, Bao Zheng asked meaningfully.

Shen An said: "Xiang Jun."

Bao Zheng nodded and said: "Back then, Fan Wenzheng wanted to cultivate military equipment, but all the ministers opposed it. He was a strong leader, but he couldn't shake so many people. But you just used Zhongmu's thing to change the ancestral method..."

He hesitated to speak, and finally sighed: "This is a good start. If it can become a regular practice, you will have done a great job."

yes!

Only then did Shen An realize that he had accomplished a feat.

An ancestral law is crumbling in his own hands.

All the way back home, Guoguo happily welcomed her out, and then muttered that her brother had been out for a long time.

Shen An picked her up and said with a smile, "My Guoguo is fat!"

Guoguo hugged his neck and said, "Brother has been gone for a long time. If he doesn't come back, he won't be able to hold me."

"oh!"

When Shen An saw her sister speaking seriously and looking cute, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Mr. Lang, is the matter with Zhongmu settled?"

Zhuang Laoshi had been worried about Shen An going to Zhongmou for a long time. Seeing his relaxed expression now, he estimated that the result would be good.

Shen An said calmly: "Not bad, at home..."

Yao Lian endured it for a long time, but now he couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Lang Jun has now become the storyteller of the Imperial Academy."

"What? Imperial College?"

Sure enough, Zhuang Laoshi changed when he mentioned the Imperial College.

He trembled and said: "This is... this is an official position that only a great Confucian can hold!"

Shen An said calmly: "Storytellers are nothing."

He was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that now he was out of the category of a lucky minister and could be considered a member of the Imperial College.

But no one can understand this slang... Alas!

Life is lonely!

"Brother has been promoted!"

In the prince's palace, Zhao Yunrang felt that he might have some tinnitus.

He sat upright on the couch, then dug his ears and asked, "You said... all the victims in Zhongmou have been resettled in place?"

The servant said: "Yes, they have all been resettled in place, and the officials have provided money and food for them to rebuild. Now they are in great joy, and they all say that the officials are benevolent."

Zhao Yunrang took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Zongshi, "It actually happened?"

Zhao Zongshi's face was a little pale, his eyes were deep, and he said: "Dad, the victims of the disaster in Zhongmu were originally going to be organized into the Xiang Army. It can be seen that the officials are willing to accept advice..."

Zhao Yunrang praised: "That young man is pretty good. He actually made the officials and Prime Minister change their minds."

At this time, someone reported outside: "Prince, the Imperial Academy is offering wine to Guo Qian to see him."

"What is he here for? That's all, please come in."

Zhao Yunrang felt that his relationship with Guo Qian was just a greeting, and the two families had no contact. This sudden visit...

"Is he here to ask for help?"

Zhao Zongshi got up and helped Zhao Yunrang to the bed, and said, "Dad, this person has never interacted with our family. I'm afraid he is really here to beg for help, and maybe he is begging for an official position."

Zhao Yunrang nodded, "Then I won't pay attention to him."

He was a bit arrogant like an old naughty boy, and walked all the way to the front, with Zhao Zongshi accompanying him.

Guo Qian is not young anymore, with gray beard and hair, and a goatee that seems to be sticking out.

"I've met the prince."

After the two parties met, Guo Qian exchanged a few pleasantries, and then said with some embarrassment: "May I ask the prince, are you familiar with Shen Taizhao?"

Zhao Yunrang nodded and said, "It's indeed familiar."

He felt something was wrong with the taste, so his expression gradually turned cold.

Guo Qian glanced at Zhao Zongshi beside him and sighed for a while.

Zhao Zongshi resigned without missing a beat.

Guo Qian then bowed and asked: "Your Majesty, I heard that Shen Taizhao is coming to the Imperial College to serve as a storyteller... Your Majesty... I want to ask the Prince for something..."

Zhao Yunrang was a little confused and said casually: "You tell me."

Imperial Storybook?

That guy actually got this position?

"... I kindly ask the prince to tell Shen Taizhao that our imperial eunuch is too young to withstand the torment. If he is fine... then he can rest at home..."

Zhao Yunrang was a little puzzled by Guo Qian's words, so he asked, "Why?"

Guo Qian smiled bitterly and said: "Song Xiang from the Privy Council said that if Shen An goes back, he will give him the position of Privy Councilor."

Is this because people hate dogs?

Zhao Yunrang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Shen An understands the rules, and the Imperial College is just a place for teaching, but you are worrying too much."

"Do you understand the rules?"

Guo Qian's goatee raised up, and his voice suddenly rose, like a roar: "Prince, the Xiang army is probably going to be lost!"

What?

Zhao Yunrang couldn't help but change his color.

Guo Qian said with a pained face: "Then Shen An went to Zhongmou, and when he came back, the officials and ministers actually agreed that when there was a famine in the future, disaster relief should be provided first, and resettlement should be considered first. The prince, and later There will be fewer sergeants.”

But how could Zhao Yunrang listen to his gossip, and the Song Dynasty's army was not less, but more.

After Guo Qian left in disappointment, Zhao Zongshi came in and saw a dazed Zhao Yunrang.

"Dad, is something wrong?"

Zhao Yunrang nodded and said: "The victims of the disaster are organized into Xiangjun. Is this the ancestral law?"

Zhao Zongshi nodded. As a former backup, he was no stranger to these things.

Zhao Yunrang looked at his son and said in disbelief: "That boy actually overturned the laws of his ancestors..."

Word spread quickly.

Priority will be given to resettling local victims in the future!

The officials of the Third Division almost went crazy, and Wang Anshi also went crazy.

"This is great news! It couldn't be better news!"

Wang Anshi, who has always been steady, also got carried away with joy, "How much does it cost to raise an army every year! It's finally better now, at least it won't cost more in the future."

The Third Division is in charge of finance, and every year in order to feed the huge army, I don’t know how many people are worried.

After he was happy, he asked: "Which gentleman turned the tide?"

In his opinion, the only one who can do this is Zaifu. It was impossible for Han Qi. Zeng Gongliang did not have the courage. Only the increasingly mature Fu Bi could do it.

The officials beside him couldn't help but laugh, thinking that this man was so happy that he even used words like "turning the tide".

But they didn't know that Wang Anshi was examining the Song Dynasty and discovering the problems of the Song Dynasty. Among them, the problem of redundant soldiers gave him the most headache.

Now that the disaster victims are no longer organized into Xiang troops, the redundant troops will be much better in the future, which is a big progress.

The clerk who came to report the news said with a strange expression: "It's... Shen An."

In an instant, Sansi turned from joyful to quiet.

The last time Shen An came to Qu'an, Yang Daoxiang was frightened. Yang Daoxiang walked out with the words "seeking death" written in ink on his forehead. Everyone seemed to still remember that scene vividly.

Now Yang Daoxiang has already embarked on the road of exile, and it is estimated that he will never come back in this life.

Although everyone in the Third Division knew that Yang Daoxiang deserved his punishment, you, Shen An, went so far as to step in. Where did you put the dignity of the Third Division?

So it was inevitable that everyone would have some murmurs in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, today, Shen An, who made everyone murmur, actually accomplished a major event that made everyone in the three divisions rejoice.

Wang Anshi was the first to wake up. He asked, "How did he convince the officials and the prime minister?"

yes!

That boy was ruthless. I heard that he didn't have much power, so he couldn't bear to be provoked. How did he do this?

If eyes could pierce the human body, then the clerk who came to report the news was already riddled with holes.

It was the first time that he was stared at by such people, and he said nervously: "It was said... Shen An went to hang out with the victims, and then he got their truth..."

"What's the truth?"

Wang Anshi felt a little uneasy, but more excited.

His Ten Thousand Words Book has been completed a long time ago and he wanted to submit it at the beginning of the year.

But after observation, he felt that the Wanyan Book was not mature enough, so he hesitated and shelved it.

When he heard the three words 'truth', he suddenly trembled and knew what was missing from his Wanyan Book.

There is no truth from the people!

This is done behind closed doors!

The clerk said: "The victims all said that as long as they can eat, they are not willing to be soldiers. As for rebellion, they will definitely not unless they are going to starve to death."

Wang Anshi suddenly realized it and said: "In the past, we blindly followed the laws of our ancestors and expanded the Xiang army when there was a disaster, but we forgot to ask the people what they really thought. What a big mistake! What a big mistake!"

He turned around, raised his head and said, "I got three words today, which is better than countless scriptures, hahahaha!"

Is this stubborn Judge Wang crazy?

Thinking of the Wang Anshi who was often distracted and serious in the past, and looking at him now, everyone can't help but be surprised.

"This is a happy event!"

Someone broke the silence, and everyone couldn't help but rejoice again.

"That Shen Daizhao seems to be a man without a government, otherwise he wouldn't have directly humiliated Yang Daoxiang last time."

"That's right, only those who don't have a city will try to shake the laws of their ancestors. How brave they are!"

The officials of the Third Division did some brainstorming and came to the conclusion that Shen An was a fool, so they forgave him for his rudeness last time.

"Guo Qian, the wine minister of the Imperial College, let it slip. He said that the temple of the Imperial College is small and it is not easy for Shen Daizhao to work for the country. He should rest more at home."

The people in the Third Division looked at each other in shock when they heard this, and then laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Shen An didn't laugh. He couldn't believe it and said: "Lao Guo actually looks down on me so much? Lao Chen, this is too much. I'm going to see the official, appeal,..."

Chen Zhongheng looked at him coldly from the side, and after he stopped yelling, he said: "You made too much noise in the Privy Council, which gave Song Xiang a headache. The Prime Minister and Fu also have a headache for you, how can the Imperial College stand up to it? Your troubles... Guo Qian is just preparing for a rainy day, you... the officials told you not to go yet. "

Shen An said angrily: "Why?"

I just want to tell stories, why?

Chen Zhongheng said coldly: "Then you should convince Song Xiang first."

Song Xiang was afraid that you would go to the Privy Council to stir up trouble, and he told you that as long as you returned to the Privy Council, you would be given the official position of Privy Councilor.

He stood up and walked out, saying as he walked: "You should be more cautious. UU Reading ww.uukanshu.nettOfficials say that you have no authority and will get angry when others provoke you. This is not good. You must change it..."

"Mr. Lang, Prime Minister Song of the Privy Council has spoken."

Yao Lian came towards me, and Shen An said indifferently: "What did he say this time? Did he tell me not to get close to the gate of the Privy Council?"

Chen Zhongheng also felt that Song Xiang had gone too far, and planned to find a way to give him eye drops when he returned.

Yao Lian said happily: "Song Xianggong said that you, Langjun, are from the Privy Council. Let Guo Qian from the Imperial College go back wherever he came from. Don't even think about poaching people from the Privy Council."

Chen Zhongheng said blankly: "Did you hear it wrong?"

Shen An also felt something was wrong. At this time, Zhe Kexing came over. When he asked what happened, he smiled and said: "Brother An Bei doesn't know something. Most of the Xiang troops formed by the victims have little combat power, but they still occupy various resources of the army. The Privy Council has long been filled with complaints."

Shen An and Chen Zhongheng looked at each other and said, "Did I become a hero of the Privy Council this time?"
