A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Bao Zheng was brought to the Imperial City Department, and the atmosphere in the palace became cold for a while, and then began to warm up.

The officials were just out of anger, and they would naturally let Lao Bao go within two days at most.

It's just that after Lao Bao experienced this, he probably no longer has the face to be an official.

Thinking of losing such a colleague in the future, the prime ministers and assistants felt sad for a while, and then began to discuss matters.

"... Dredging the Ergu River costs a lot, and people from all over the country have to mobilize..."

Zeng Gongliang suggested: "Those Xiang troops have nothing to do, so why not dispatch them this time?"

Fu Bi praised: "Yes, Xiangjun can save some money and food. There is much to be done about this matter!"

He said with emotion: "The Liao people are domineering and always threaten the army going south. I am always anxious and cannot get the news right away. But neither the army nor the spies of the Imperial City Department can get it. Those days... My days are like years!"

The prime ministers and ministers all had feelings for each other, so did Zhao Zhen.

He sighed: "Yelu Hongji's several correspondences were rude, and the threat of force was vivid on the paper. I... am so angry! What's the use? If we can win in battle, even if we can stop the Liao people, Then I will also let the nephew emperor know what it means to be a kingdom in heaven!"

The king and his ministers were silent.

This atmosphere is not good. Han Qi said: "Now that the Yellow River has changed its course, it can be seen that God is caring for the Song Dynasty. Your Majesty, what a happy event! Please go to Ergu River to investigate."

This is a positive attitude.

Zhao Zhen said happily: "Han Qing worked hard and I got it right."

If the king and his ministers are united, what can't we accomplish?

If Shen An were here, of course he would 'praise' that 'the emperor and his ministers are united and dare to turn around the Yellow River'.

"Your Majesty, Shen An would like to see you."

While the monarch and his ministers were enjoying themselves, Shen An came.

None of the prime ministers spoke.

The relationship between Shen An and Lao Bao is very good, like that of father and son.

He came here now to beg for mercy.

Zeng Gongliang's heart moved, and the incident of being threatened by Shen An a while ago came to mind.

It was just a shipment of goods, but the result was a loss of more than a thousand guan. That idiot Zeng Ping deserves to die.

But he could never forget Shen An's humiliation that day.

That’s it!

He said: "Your Majesty, Bao Zheng is impatient. I heard from the Imperial City Department that it's a bit scary. Otherwise..."

These words seemed to be pleading for Bao Zheng, but the urgent tone pointed out the seriousness of the matter.

Your Majesty, that is the Prime Minister!

Can Zaifu be impatient?

Can?

cannot!

He grabbed the emperor's sleeve and washed his face with spit.

What kind of rule is this?

Putting Bao Zheng like this in the center... I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate, right?

This is not a trick, it is just an art of speaking.

It was impossible for Zeng Gongliang to say directly: That's what, the official family! This old man is not honest with you. How about we drive him to the place?

In this way, Zhao Zhen gained face, and Shen An lost a strong support, which was a cruel blow.

Don't expect the prime minister to be a good person. If they were good people, they wouldn't be promoted to this official position. They would have been killed long ago in their long official career.

Shen An messed with Zeng Ping and embarrassed Zeng Gongliang. He didn't say anything at the time, as if nothing happened.

This is the city.

I am smiling with you today, looking back for opportunities...

I am smiling with you!

Give it to you from behind, it tastes so good!

Zeng Gongliang's expression of eagerness and justice made Zhao Zhen couldn't help but nod his head and said: "What Qing Zeng said is true, but Bao Zheng didn't mean it. I should forgive him."

The Imperial City Division is not a good place, and letting Bao Zheng experience the atmosphere can be considered a punishment.

Zhao Zhen thought this punishment was enough.

"Your Majesty, Shen An is here."

"Let him in."

Zhao Zhen's mood gradually improved, and he looked at Shen An who came in with a smile.

The same is true for the ministers.

Didn't you ask for mercy? The officials said so, and they released Bao Zheng later.

What do you want to ask for?

Good people can't let you do it.

This was a joke-like joke.

Shen An saluted, and Zhao Zhen asked, "Are you here to intercede for Bao Zheng?"

Everyone looked on with smiles, waiting for him to speak.

"plead?"

Shen An said in shock: "No!"

Huh!

This guy didn’t come here to beg for mercy?

Zhao Zhen felt relieved, but disappointment hit him immediately.

How kind old Bao Zheng is to you!

He thinks of you and cares about you brothers and sisters, but this is how you repay him?

Fu Bi shook his head slightly. Although he was very dissatisfied with Bao Zheng now, he could not tolerate such desperate behavior.

This kind of moral character is unacceptable, young man!

He was about to come out to teach Shen An a lesson when he saw Shen An cupping his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I recently heard that someone talked about the Six Pagoda River incident while drunk."

Are you trying to remonstrate?

Zhao Zhen said displeasedly: "If nothing happens, you can retreat."

Before Shen An could speak, someone came outside.

"Your Majesty, Shen An just led people into people's homes, injured many people, and took away the owner of the house, Guo Qingzhong."

Um?

What does it mean?

Zhao Zhen's face turned cold and he said calmly: "Why do you act like this? Is it wrong that I gave you the title and trust? If so, I can give it out and I can take it back. "

So domineering!

Zhao Zhen was really disappointed.

It is true that you have made meritorious deeds, but it is not true that you have been domineering.

You dare to do this now when you are only sixteen, what will happen when you are twenty-six?

Can Bianliang City still accommodate you?

In his long career as an emperor, he has seen all kinds of people, whether they are geniuses or idiots, it is rare to be able to control their desires.

The young man is proud, and the spring breeze is proud of the horse's hoof disease.

I want to be swaggering, I want to be arrogant, I want to be arrogant.

Then he will fall, just like the Fang Zhongyong whom Wang Anshi met, who has already disappeared from everyone.

His eyes were gloomy, feeling that he had been too kind in the past, so that his ministers lost their respect and relaxed their demands on him.

He raised his head and saw Shen An's surprised look on his face, so he said angrily: "Hurry up and go!"

The officials were angry.

Now not only Bao Zheng will be unlucky, but Shen An will also be angered.

Han Qi's expression was as usual, but Zeng Gongliang's expression was gloomy.

Shen An said with a confused look on his face: "Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

He was observing, taking in the atmosphere.

Very happy!

He likes to pour cold water on others when they are happiest.

Then he goes to the theater.

"Unjustly accused!"

Zhao Zhen said coldly: "Why did you break into other people's homes? Why did you take someone? Who asked you to take someone?"

good!

Some people secretly cheered.

The official even asked, "Who asked you to take it?" This was a forced question with no room for change.

Who gave you the right to take people?

The officials are going to teach you a lesson!

Shen An said aggrievedly: "I just said that a few days ago I heard someone talking about the Liuta River while drunk..."

"What's going on at Liuta River?"

The Liuta River is taboo. You really don’t want to open any of the pots!

"When the Liuta River was diverted, there was corruption...huge."

Zhao Zhen's eyes suddenly tightened, then he took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Who?"

Liuta River is the eternal pain in his heart.

Is anyone actually corrupt?

And he’s still extremely greedy!

Shen An said: "This is Guo Qingzhong!"

He raised his head, looked at Zhao Zhen rudely, and said: "In the Liuta River back then, Guo Qingzhong sold a large number of carts and hoes, and the price... was twice the market price."

Damn it!

The prime ministers and assistants who were watching the excitement just now were angry.

"double?"

Zeng Gongliang asked suspiciously: "Are you sure?"

Shen An smiled and said: "It couldn't be more accurate, and it also falsely reported the quantity..."

This is too cruel!

You can just sell it at a high price, but you are still short of money.

How cruel is this!

Shen An said with a smile: "I thought this person had made a lot of money, but who knew that when I looked at the account books, the majority was actually given to some people. This is really the strongest among the strongest..."

who?

No need to ask.

If it can be sold twice as high as the market price, and it can be deceived, it must be because of the involvement of officials.

It was a blow.

Zhao Zhen's body shook and hissed: "Take it! Take it!"

Those beasts!

I have been working hard for the Song Dynasty day and night, but these beasts dare to mess with such a big project.

Fu Bi coughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, one-sided statements cannot be accepted. We should investigate this matter."

These words were very steady, and Shen An asked: "Does the rich prime minister want evidence?"

Fu Bi was first chased and beaten by Bao Zheng, and now he was ridiculed by Shen An, so he couldn't help but ask: "Do you have one?"

Shen An took out the account book and said: "Guo Qingzhong is a good person. He was afraid that his memory was bad and he would forget those benefactors, so he recorded them all one by one, including the year, month, day, what happened, how much money, everything was prepared. , the rich prime minister can take a look."

This is a real slap in the face!

Didn’t Fu Bi say you wanted to investigate?

Come on, I’ll give you all the evidence and you go check it out!

Many things are not difficult, but the prime ministers and assistants are accustomed to following the rules and doing things according to the regulations. The rotten smell that permeates their bodies can kill people.

Shen An stared at him with sharp eyes and said: "If there is no evidence, no matter how brave Shen is, he will not break into other people's homes. Liuta River... is a piece of fat. It has not only defrauded Hebei, but also I have made countless officials and businessmen fat!"

Fu Bi was the staunchest supporter back then. As soon as these words came out, he trembled.

He took the account book and just looked through it a few times. As an expert in appreciating calligraphy and painting, he could tell the difference between the dates.

The earliest ones must be at least more than ten years ago, and the latest ink marks are very new, probably in the past few days.

He turned over the names of different official positions, transactions and bribe amounts one by one. His face turned pale and he shouted: "This is definitely not true!"

A businessman has been involved in so many official corruptions. This officialdom...

There is a big problem with this officialdom!

The prime minister's face was slapped hard, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.net was extremely uncomfortable.

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "Go and check! Someone has been calling Zhang for eight years!"

Do you want to use the Imperial City Division?

This doesn't taste right.

There is no need to use them to catch corruption.

Zeng Gongliang came out and said: "Your Majesty, let's check first, verify one by one, and then arrest those who should be arrested, those who should be..."

Zhao Zhen didn't give him face, and said coldly: "Go quickly!"

The Imperial City Secretary got involved, and the atmosphere suddenly changed.
