A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"He just took a look?"

Du Ziling originally wanted to block this matter, but when he saw the officials from Honglu Temple nodding, he said: "This matter... you can negotiate it yourself."

He couldn't control it, and he didn't want to.

After being embarrassed by Shen An, Du Ziling became more cautious.

So the people at Honglu Temple stopped working and started making a fuss.

In the end, Song Xiang scolded Du Ziling a few words and took over the matter.

When the two parties gathered together, Song Xiang took the account book and asked, "Just took a look?"

The clerk at Honglu Temple didn't dare to lie at this moment, "No, Prime Minister Song, I just read it once."

Song Xiang looked at Tang Ren, "What did you say?"

The boss is just a little shrimp to him, and he can be trampled to death if he feels unhappy.

Tang Renfeng smiled and said: "My lord, I have indeed calculated it once."

It was still the familiar Tang Ren. After seeing this smile, Song Xiang nodded and said, "What is Honglu Temple struggling with?"

The people from Honglu Temple said angrily: "Prime Minister Song, he just read it once, flipped through it, and then said that Honglu Temple's account was wrong, and also told the number, what it was..."

The clerk said: "Five strings and thirty-five essays."

The official of Honglu Temple said sadly and angrily: "I just looked at it once, Prime Minister Song, isn't this a mockery of me? What is Honglu Temple? Maybe I just want..."

When he raised his eyebrows, the smell came out.

I'm afraid Tang Ren wants to...ask for a bribe!

Song Xiang snorted coldly, and Tang Ren called out: "Ms. sir, this official has really calculated it all..."

Song Xiang said angrily: "You can forget it just by looking at it? Did you learn this in just ten days? What nonsense!"

Of course he would not admit to asking for a bribe, that would be a blow to the Privy Council.

So he said solemnly: "Recalculate."

This is a fair method of disposal, but the officials of Honglu Temple did not believe Tang Ren. "Prime Minister Song, Honglu Temple is in charge, okay?"

Song Xiang nodded, thinking that peace was the most precious thing, so he simply smoothed over the matter.

"Go back and reflect!"

As for Tang Ren, Song Xiang naturally wanted to give him a beating.

Tang Ren smiled flatteringly, and then said with a grimace: "Ms. sir, this official has really forgotten it!"

The people from Honglu Temple returned with their account books...

The next day, Song Xiang came to the Yamen as usual.

"I've met my husband."

There were people saluting and saying hello along the way, and Song Xiang nodded casually, feeling very comfortable.

Being an official, becoming a high-ranking official, this is the welfare of life.

Countless people will bow their heads and flatter you when they see you.

Whenever this time comes, the pleasure of the peak of life comes.

Song Xiang thought of Tang Ren and felt that although that guy was flattering, he was too explicit and didn't find the right way to feel comfortable, so it made people feel that he was not happy enough or at his peak.

Just when he thought of Tang Ren, he saw the officials of Honglu Temple.

This man smiled very flatteringly, even flatter than Tang Ren.

What does this mean?

Song Xiang kept thinking, thinking that you just came to make trouble yesterday, and now you are here again, are you taking me for granted?

"Finished?"

"Forget it, Prime Minister Song."

The officials from Honglu Temple followed up with a flattering smile.

"Call Tang Ren."

Tang Ren came later and said flatteringly as soon as he came in: "Prime Minister Song seems to be in high spirits today. When the subordinate saw him, he thought it was a young man who had entered the check-in room, and he almost wanted to take someone..."

This is not very flattering, Song Xiang frowned and said: "You can tell it yourself."

He picked up a document and read it, and gradually became immersed in it.

"This...Master Tang."

"What?"

Tang Ren's face was slightly cold.

Your attitude is unacceptable!

Song Xiang raised his head, ready to scold him, but saw that the officials from Honglu Temple had already taken the initiative and smiled flatteringly.

"Master Tang, Honglu Temple is unreasonable in this matter. The corrupt man has been caught. Chief Tang's eyes are as bright as lightning this time, and Honglu Temple is in shock..."

The officials of Honglu Temple were talking flatteringly, but Tang Ren had a cold face.

You guys...

Song Xiang felt that his heartbeat was a little faster, so he asked: "Could it be..."

The official of Honglu Temple smiled bitterly and said: "Prime Minister Song, I really have to thank Mr. Tang for this..."

Song Xiang was an old bureaucrat, and he immediately asked keenly: "Did you make a miscalculation?"

The official of Honglu Temple nodded and said: "Yes, the calculation was wrong and I missed this amount."

Missed it?

Song Xiang sneered in his heart, thinking that they were probably colluding with each other, but he didn't expect to be found out by Tang Ren.

Good thing!

Our Privy Council is showing off its power!

Song Xiang felt proud, but then he thought of what he said at that time.

"Just read it once?"

Tang Ren nodded, very honestly.

He felt that he could not imitate Shen An's aura of integrity, so he could only pretend to be honest.

Song Xiang's eyes lit up and he asked again: "That's it..."

When people from Honglu Temple were around, he hid his name from mental arithmetic.

Cao Ren raised his head and smiled. It was very flattering, but there was something more.

Pride, and confidence.

"yes."

Song Xiang was shocked immediately.

At first, he said that the Privy Council would select people to learn mental arithmetic. He felt that this matter was too long and would take at least half a year to learn, so he left it to Du Ziling.

Yesterday, Tang Ren was just trying his best, but he was so powerful?

Song Xiang was excited.

"How long have you been studying?"

He remembered it as if it had only been more than ten days.

this……

Can a mental arithmetic talent be trained in just ten days?

This discovery immediately stunned Song Xiang like a nuclear weapon.

The biggest headache for every yamen is calculation and accounting. The Song Dynasty was very large, and its economic aggregate and population size made any task very huge.

Calculation and accounting have become a big problem. This is the case with the Privy Council, which has a large number of petty officials who specialize in calculation and accounting.

But even so, the manpower is still not enough.

"Xiaguan studied for ten days."

Song Xiang felt that he was suffering from scrapie, but nothing could scratch that area. This sentence was like an itch scratch, and it immediately scratched his itch.

"Ten days?"

He asked sternly: "If there are lies, I will not forgive you here."

"It's the tenth day."

Tang Ren replied firmly.

Song Xiang was stunned, and the official from Honglu Temple next to him probably guessed something and was also stunned.

"I have something to do, please wait and see."

Song Xiang entered the palace in a flash. When he saw Zhao Zhen, his first words were: "Guan family, let's teach more people about mental arithmetic."

When mental arithmetic was first implemented, both the Privy Council and the Third Division were somewhat reluctant. Zhao Zhen also held back, waiting for mental arithmetic to show its power, and then these two families came to beg him.

According to his own calculation, this time should be one or two months, but how long has it been?

He was very happy in his heart, but it didn't show on his face, "Why?"

Song Xiang felt a little embarrassed when he recalled his attitude at that time: "...Tang Ren, the director of the Privy Council Hall, found out the wrong accounts of Honglu Temple yesterday, very quickly."

Zhao Zhen still asked calmly: "How fast?"

I will also be unhappy, and my unhappiness will make you uncomfortable.

Song Xiang's face turned red, "I just kept counting as I flipped through it, just like reading a book."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Zhao Zhen was so happy that he couldn't help but laugh.

He was wronged by Shen An once, but now he has returned it, but the target has become Song Xiang.

Song Xiang could only stand there awkwardly, and then defended: "In the second year of junior high school, Shen An defeated the Liao people alone in the literary test. I was shocked at the time, but in hindsight, I think this secret skill must have taken many years to learn, so..."

"So you think this matter is not urgent? You think there is something wrong with Shen An's secret skills?"

Song Xiang lowered his head, a gesture of admitting his mistake.

Zhao Zhen was satisfied and felt that the recent depression had dissipated, so he said: "Tang Ren... I remember that he was the one who refused to retreat even half a step when we negotiated with the Liao envoy, right?"

At that time, Tang Ren received Shen An's advice, so he refused to retreat in the face of the threat from the Liao envoy, which impressed Zhao Zhen deeply.

Song Xiang praised: "The officials' memories are really good, and the ministers are never as good as them."

Song Xiang, who had calmly flattered his subordinates in the Privy Council, could only lower his head when facing the emperor.

This is class.

For thousands of years, countless dynasties have used it to maintain the stability of the country.

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly and said, "Shen An has made a great contribution."

Song Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, the credit is not small."

Everywhere he can do mental arithmetic is Shen An's credit. This matter... No wonder everyone likes writing and hopes that their hard work can become a famous scholar.

Confucianism is such a discipline that took the opportunity to rise to power in the Han Dynasty until today.

But what do officials say this is?

Song Xiang was slightly wary, worried that the officials would give Shen An a new official position.

"Guan family, that boy is still young after all, so he has to leave some room for his descendants!"

If you make him high, will your successor dare to use him in the future?

Zhao Zhen's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, but he was a little melancholy.

"Shen An said he will not return to the Privy Council...then there will be one less deputy to carry out the decree..."

…

After Tang Ren returned to the ceremony room, he looked majestically at the officials below and said, "From now on, you must carefully check the account books of Honglu Temple. It is an outlet for money and food. If the control is not strict, corruption will occur."

"Yes, sir."

Someone came in from outside, but it was Zhang Wen and Cao Yun, the hostesses of the reception room.

Cao Yun nuzzled at Zhang Wennu, indicating that this guy was coming, and I was here to watch the fun.

He had been warned several times by his cousin the queen, so he did not dare to go against Shen An, and he also felt a little better about Tang Ren who was being protected by Shen An.

Zhang Wen said with a smile: "I heard that the Tang Dynasty emperor ran away from Honglu Temple in anger? Everyone in this ceremonial room is proud and proud, and my staff room is also honored!"

Tang Ren frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

If Shen An doesn't come back, the deputy official position will be vacant, and everyone will want to take it.

Zhang Wen glanced at the officials and smiled. He felt that it was necessary to make Tang Ren uneasy, so that he could feel at ease. He said: "There seems to be some anger over there at Honglu Temple..."

Honglu Temple was embarrassed this time. It was said that there was an internal quarrel similar to a 'coup', and it was Tang Ren who set off all this.

Although you did the right thing, you offended Honglu Temple miserably!

The officialdom is unpredictable. Honglu Temple is bowing its head now, but what about one year from now? How many years from now?

When you, Tang Ren, fall into their hands, you will have grievances and revenge.

"Master Tang, your husband is here."

Uh-huh!

Everyone stood with their hands tied.

"I've met my husband."

Song Xiang hummed and said majestically: "Tang Ren."

Tang Ren took a step forward, smiled flatteringly, and said, "Ms. sir, I'm here."

How ugly!

The people on the side couldn't help but lament in their hearts, thinking that such a sycophant could actually be the head of a house, while upright gentlemen like me could only succumb to them. They were really frustrated to the extreme.

Song Xiang's brows were full of majesty, and he said calmly: "From now on, you will be the deputy to the decree, and you must do it well."

He glanced at the people present, then turned and left.

Everyone present stood there, no one moved.

Cao Yun's eyes were full of jealousy, but remembering the Queen's explanation, he suppressed it, cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations, I hope Mr. Tang will take care of him in the future... No, it's Tang Chengzhi, I hope Tang Chengzhi will take care of him in the future. ”

The former colleague suddenly became his immediate boss.

This feeling is really... so uncomfortable that I want to hit someone!

Zhang Wen's face was flushed, and the jealousy in his heart almost burned his head.

He suppressed it and said with a forced smile: "I have met Tang Chengzhi."

After saying this, he regretted it.

The shouting should be more respectful, otherwise what would happen if Tang Ren had to wear little shoes afterwards?

He looked up and saw Tang Ren's eyes were red and filled with tears.

He choked up and said: "If it weren't for Wait Zhao... so and so... how would such a chance have happened? UU Readingｗｗ.uukanshu.net I feel so grateful when I think of Wait Zhao... ...Otherwise, I will feel uneasy.”

Everyone tried to comfort him, but Tang Ren just nodded and went to Du Ziling to ask for leave.

Du Ziling knew about his promotion and approved it with a smile.

The officials in the fourth room stood there, watching Tang Ren wipe away his tears, mount his horse and go out.

After a long time, someone murmured: "If I followed the imperial edict closely at the beginning, then today..."

He didn't say the rest of it, but everyone knew it.

So will today's person be the person who succeeds Deputy Chengzhi?

A kind of emotion called regret permeated the hearts of the officials in the four rooms of the Privy Council, making them sad that they had no intention of doing official business.

The fourth update is here, good night everyone, I will continue coding.
