A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Zhao Zhen frowned and looked inside, then turned and left.

Are the officials unhappy?

Guo Qian was also unhappy because Shen An described thunder and lightning as if they were something readily available and did not respect God enough.

"Official, Shen Daizhao is young... he speaks a little rashly."

Guo Qian also hoped that the government would allocate more funds, but Shen An's thunder and lightning theory made this matter come to nothing.

Zhao Zhen said nothing. After returning to the palace, he said to Chen Zhongheng: "It's good that the young man got a telescope. It frees me from blame and gives future generations less excuses to be restrained and attacked by ministers... But Thunder and lightning are not easy to talk nonsense. That young man went too far. You go find Bao Zheng..."

He said with a headache: "That young man refuses to obey. Only Bao Zheng can make him be more honest..."

Chen Zhongheng smiled flatteringly and said, "Guan Jia, that thunder and lightning came from God. I'm afraid Shen An... I'll go right away."

He didn't like dealing with Bao Zheng. He felt that the old man's stern face was a bit scary, and he didn't even give him face.

As soon as he left the palace gate, he saw Zhang Ba Ba coming in a hurry.

"Zhang Douzhi, long time no see."

Chen Zhongheng handed over his hand with a cold attitude.

Zhang has killed too many people in eight years, and there will definitely be retribution after his death.

This is the consensus of everyone, and even Chen Zhongheng doesn't want to get close to him.

Zhang Baba raised his head and glanced at him. There seemed to be will-o'-wisps flickering in his deep-set eyes.

He nodded coldly and walked into the hall.

"Guan family, Shen An caused thunder at home last night..."

Zhao Zhen was dumbfounded.

Chen Zhongheng outside the hall was also dumbfounded.

Zhao Zhen calmed down and asked, "Does he know Taoism?"

Zhang Baibian shook his head and said: "I don't know, but Wang Anshi, the judge who was sent to the branch last night, was also here. After the thunder, Wang Anshi came home in the rain and said he was out of his mind."

Chen Zhongheng came in, "Guan, Wang Anshi seems to be on leave today."

Zhao Zhen ordered with some urgency: "Go and ask him quickly!"

It was hard for him to ask Shen An, and he was also worried that Shen An would coax him. But Wang Anshi is different.

After Chen Zhongheng left, he was no longer in the mood to read the memorial.

Waiting and waiting, when Chen Zhongheng reappeared sweating profusely, Zhao Zhen stood up suddenly and asked: "But Taoism?"

He didn't know what he was hoping for.

Maybe it’s the Song Dynasty, maybe it’s...

Perhaps it is the elusive path to immortality.

Chen Zhongheng said breathlessly: "Guan family, it really caused a thunder. Shen An really caused a thunder last night."

Zhao Zhen's heart dropped.

If it was really Taoism, Chen Zhongheng should have said this first, instead of raising the alarm.

His eyes dimmed slightly, but Chen Zhongheng didn't notice it and still said excitedly: "Judge Wang said that he personally saw Shen An using an iron rod to draw down the thunder and lightning, then burning the peach tree... and finally using the peach tree Made a wooden sword..."

"Wooden sword?"

Zhang Baba suddenly interrupted: "Guan family, Shen An said that the peach wood sword can subjugate demons..."

Zhao Zhen's heart suddenly rose and he asked expectantly: "What kind of monster?"

Zhang Baba said coldly: "It's a lie he made to coax his sister to play. Early in the morning, he was dancing at home with a sword and randomly chanted something about "Mom, coax, coax slowly..."

puff!

Chen Zhongheng finally couldn't help laughing.

"In the official family, I know that Shen An is like this, he has a way of coaxing people..."

Zhao Zhen looked indifferent and said: "That student... look at it."

After Zhao Zhen left the Imperial Academy, Zhang got the relevant news in eight years. He said: "The official family, I have sent people to keep an eye on Su Yan to ensure that I will not miss it."

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "Wang Anshi should not lie, but I don't think this matter is credible."

Just like someone in later generations will tell you that tides have nothing to do with the gravity of celestial bodies, but are caused by the farts of gods. Do you believe it?

I definitely don’t believe it.

So no one would believe it unless they saw it.

…

There have been thunderstorms in Bianliang these two days, and pedestrians are in a hurry.

In a village outside the city, a group of people were watching the excitement.

"Is the eldest son of the Su family crazy?"

"He said he wanted to attract thunder down, just like his mother back then... This kid wants to speak for his mother!"

A woman lamented: "What happened back then..."

An old man glared and said, "What happened back then? His mother was unfilial back then! Otherwise, why didn't Lei Lei hit others? The wild place is so big, why did she chase her to hit her?"

A group of people shouted, "Why are you chasing after his mother? This thunder! He specializes in attacking those rebellious officials, thieves, and unfilial people!"

The woman's lips twitched, then she blushed and said, "Yes, I was wrong."

Boom!

There was a faint sound of thunder, and someone shouted: "It's going to rain, go home."

The old man shook his head and said: "The eldest son of the Su family wants to overturn the verdict. If we leave, and he says it caused thunder, what will happen? Go and get a hat and an umbrella."

Everyone nodded, and then sent the young people home to bring tools to protect themselves from the rain.

Su Yan stood alone in the middle of the wilderness, digging a hole with difficulty.

Later, he struggled to insert the iron pole on the side into the hole, and then filled it with soil.

He stood there alone, then slowly backed away.

There is an abandoned hut on the side, and several men are standing there.

"Shen Daizhao, it is said that this is the place where his mother died."

Chen Zhongheng was wearing plain clothes, with Shen An beside him.

"Will there really be thunder and lightning?"

he asked somewhat tangledly.

"How about you try it?"

Shen An enthusiastically suggested: "You just need to stand next to the iron pole. If there is thunder and lightning, you will feel numb all over, and then..."

He patted Chen Zhongheng on the shoulder and said, "Try it."

Chen Zhongheng hesitated, "You won't be beaten to death, right?"

Shen An shook his head and said: "Probably...no way. In the past, some people flew kites during thunderstorms. As long as they tied an iron pole to the kite, they could experience a numb feeling. You can try it later."

The big guy didn't do the experiment in the past, but hundreds of years later. After the success, the boss became famous, and some people wanted to repeat his experiment. They also flew kites in thunderstorms, but they were electrocuted to death...

It can be seen that this person's luck is different, and the ending is also different.

Chen Zhongheng looked at him suspiciously and said, "Why do I always think you are..."

Shen An said seriously: "I hate evil as much as I hate it."

Boom!

Thunder rumbled and lightning gradually became clearer.

The iron pole stands alone in the wilderness.

Chen Zhongheng muttered: "I haven't come down yet! I still have to go back to the palace!"

Shen An looked at Lightning and said casually: "It's almost done."

The villagers were also watching the lightning.

"Dalang of the Su family, where is the lightning you triggered?"

"You're dreaming in broad daylight, having your sweet dream!"

"Your mother is unfilial, everyone knows this."

Su Yan clenched his fists. At this moment, he forgot about the noise outside and stared at the sky above the iron pole.

Just next to the iron pole, a chicken and a duck seemed to feel the danger and kept croaking.

"The storyteller said that if you insert an iron pole in a place that is easily struck by lightning, it is very likely to attract lightning..."

Somehow, he felt that he just trusted Shen An.

When did this start?

It seems to have started when Shen An taught them those magical miscellaneous subjects.

But he still remembered...it started when Shen An treated him equally with other students.

He was relatively stupid and was a slow learner in the past. He was considered the most unpromising student in the Imperial College.

Previous professors ignored him and treated him as if he was nothing.

But Shen An was different. Not only did he treat everyone equally, but he also had a preference for him.

"storytelling……"

He saw thunder and lightning and stood up straight.

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, and everyone's eyes were dazzled, and then they saw bright light bursting from the iron pole.

"Giggle!"

The chickens and ducks were croaking at the same time, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

But the thunder and lightning slipped down along the iron pole.

Bang!

With a slight explosion, the chickens and ducks were killed instantly, and their feathers were flying all over the sky.

The villagers stood there blankly. The old man held an umbrella in his hand. As soon as he loosened his hand, the umbrella fell to the ground.

The woman also saw this scene, with a blush on her face. She looked back at the villagers and shouted with all her strength: "Su Dalang's mother is filial! She is filial!"

As a woman, you must take good care of your uncle in your family. Once you are known to be unfilial, it will be hard for you to die in peace.

The woman had a good relationship with Su Yan's mother, so she kept complaining for her, but it was in vain.

But now?

She boldly looked at the most prestigious old man in the village and shouted: "Uncle Wang Qi, do you think Su Dalang's mother is unfilial? Really? You speak! You speak!"

Tears mixed with rain flowed down her face, and she yelled, "At first you all said she was unfilial and forced her not to be buried in the Su family cemetery. What about now? Who is unfilial! Who is it!"

The woman's screams echoed, but the thunder gradually dissipated.

The raindrops gradually became smaller, and a blue gap appeared in the middle of the dark clouds in the sky...

The sunlight pours down from the gaps and shines right on the iron pole...

The villagers were stunned as they watched Su Yan staggering towards the iron pole in front of them.

The heavy rain suddenly stopped, and the drizzle was like silk, hanging on the face like a mother's touch.

He walked to the front of the iron pole and knelt down with a bang.

"mother……"

He was crying loudly, and the rain was still clinging to his body in thin strands.

"...The child should not have gone out back then..."

He cried inconsolably, and after an unknown amount of time, he straightened up while holding on to the iron pole, and saw someone standing beside him.

"Study well and live your life well. This is the greatest joy to your mother."

"Storytelling, student... I don't know how to thank you, student. Without you, my mother would have had the reputation of being unfilial all her life, and she would not be able to be buried in the ancestral grave... Storyteller..."

He is older than Shen An, but at this moment he is like a child meeting his teacher, his eyes are full of admiration.

Shen An nodded: "Study hard from now on."

The woman happened to come over and asked after hearing this: "Are you..."

Shen An said: "A certain Imperial College storyteller, Shen An, is Su Yan's teacher."

The woman said happily: "Then you can tell the people in the village that Su Dalang's mother can finally enter the ancestral grave."

Su Yan also looked at Shen An expectantly.

People in the village are afraid of village elders, but they are even more afraid of officials.

Shen An nodded and walked over.

"A certain Shen'an, Hanlin is waiting for an edict."

"Hanlin?"

Shen An changed his official position, which really frightened the villagers.

The two words Hanlin are authoritative to them.

The old man came out to agree and said a few good words.

Shen An nodded with a smile and said: "Thunder and lightning is not a natural punishment. You have just seen that people are easily struck by lightning in the wild during thunderstorms, just like using iron poles to attract thunder. At that time, people were like iron poles."

The old man said sarcastically: "Noble sir, but...it has been passed down from generation to generation that there is also the Thunder God and the Lightning Girl!"

Shen An looked at him, UUReadingwww.uukanshu.netｔ and said with a smile: "Yes! It's just that the Thunder God and Lightning Mother are inevitably a little busy these days, or... bury an iron pole in front of your house, Let’s see if Thunder God and Lightning Girl will come to visit…”

The old man wanted to maintain his authority in the village, but when Shen An pushed him away, he hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Don't you dare, I don't dare, you villain."

Shen An looked at the villagers and said: "All the students in the Imperial College know this truth, and Su Yan also knows it, so Shen followed him here today just to be a witness. There are also servants from the official family over there... Hey !Old Chen, come here."

Chen Zhongheng muttered: "It's too much to use someone to scare people again."

After some negotiations, everyone in the village said that they were confused back then. Several village elders even handed over to Su Yan, saying that it was a mistake and that his mother could be buried at any time.

…

I slept late last night and went out for a walk, which almost delayed the update. I finally found the feeling gradually.

It's the second day of junior high school. It's time to rest. The whole family is wandering around... everyone has a good time. . m.
