A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The dignitaries were angry and immediately fearful.

Will Shen An take revenge?

After fear, they reacted quickly.

Let’s ask the officials to make the decision!

The request of a group of dignitaries to meet was not beyond Zhao Zhen's expectation.

"They dared to take action, but they only threatened, but Shen An counterattacked... Later, they were afraid, no, not afraid, but they felt that they were porcelain and Shen An was rotten bricks... It was not worth fighting with him head-on. , so here we are.”

Even the chamberlain knew the arrogance of these powerful people, so Zhao Zhen would not be confused.

"Your Majesty..."

More than 20 people entered the hall, and tears instantly flowed from their eyes. Some people cried and howled: "How could there be such a domineering person during the reign of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong... If there were... Your Majesty, please make the decision for us!"

Someone said indignantly: "Your Majesty, Zhou Xing's grandfather worked for the Song Dynasty and made great contributions to Emperor Taizong. He can be called a hero of the Song Dynasty... But such a person... Such a person actually had his two sentences interrupted. His legs were broken... There, he has become a cripple from then on. Your Majesty, things are boiling outside now, and the people are talking a lot, but they are frightened by the fact that Shen An has escaped punishment many times... Your Majesty! It's time to take action!"

Zhao Zhen sat there with a normal expression, watching the powerful people performing.

In normal times, these powerful people would stare at each other cross-eyed. If you give me a sword, I will stab you.

But when encountering something that affects everyone's interests, these people will briefly stick together and work together.

So what is the benefit at this moment?

From the moment they reported Shen An for taking bribes, the matter became uncontrollable.

They thought that Shen An would be intimidated, but instead of being intimidated, Shen An launched a fierce counterattack and directly disqualified their disciples from studying in the Imperial Academy.

This is drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron.

It’s really wicked!

But the effect was overwhelming, and the powerful people were so anxious that they asked Zhou Xing to test it.

This temptation was slapped back by Shen An, and the result was tragic.

Two legs were broken and the third leg was trampled to pieces. This was Shen An's reply.

Look at these powerful people. They look like they have just been ravaged. They come to seek the emperor's comfort and sympathy pitifully, and then strongly demand that the murderers be severely punished.

A powerful man stretched out his hand and shouted with desperate eyes: "Your Majesty, Zhou Xing...Zhou Xing's inscriptions have been abolished!"

Uncivilized thing?

what?

Bao Zheng was thinking of countermeasures, but he was a little confused when he heard this.

"Little Ouyang, what is this unwritten thing?"

Ouyang Xiu said disdainfully: "You don't even understand this...it's you ****..."

puff!

Everyone around burst into laughter.

The powerful man was originally in great sorrow, but once the laughter was stirred up, the atmosphere could not be restored.

He looked over angrily, thinking who was stirring up the trouble, I'll kill you next time.

Then he saw two old men.

Ouyang Xiu stroked his beard and smiled, looking very calm.

Bao Zheng looked at him coldly, with contempt in his eyes.

You come!

I will kill you!

Ouyang Xiu is a good person that everyone praises. If you dare to criticize him, a bunch of people will come to mess with you... For example, Su Shi, who deserves his praise, will definitely use the most harsh words to make you regret being his enemy.

As for Bao Zheng...

This old man claims to spray all over the Song Dynasty with one mouth. From the emperor to the petty officials, everyone is within his attack range. I ask you if you are afraid!

The powerful man was agitated and felt that it was not worthwhile to be an enemy of these two old men, so he prepared his emotions again.

"alright!"

Zhao Zhen listened to the complaints and criticisms for a while. At first, he thought watching the theater was fun, but as time went on, he found it boring and noisy.

He asked with a straight face: "Where is Shen An?"

Chen Zhongheng came out and said: "Your Majesty, we originally asked someone to ground him, but our people went to the Shen family and found no one. They said he went to Taixue."

Zhao Zhen scolded: "Is he that busy? I've been calling Zhang for eight years!"

Then the dignitaries started crying. When they all knelt on the ground, Zhao Zhen also had a headache.

A dignitary raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, Shen An dominates the sky in Taixue. He is not teaching and educating people, but cultivating his own party members...I impeach Shen An for forming a party..."

Bao Zheng said angrily: "What party has he formed?"

I'll kill you!

The powerful man glanced at him and said solemnly: "The whole Bianliang knows that Shen An's party is called... Taixue Party!"

Boom!

The people in the palace seemed to hear thunder.

Han Qi, who had been pretending to be stupid, couldn't help but glance at this man.

You are so brave, you dare to mention forming a party.

He wanted to scold him, but in the end he was afraid.

He remembered what happened back then.

During the Qingli period, Fan Zhongyan enthusiastically took over the emperor's trust and began vigorous reforms. At that time, everyone thought that this innovation could completely change the Song Dynasty.

But the revolution had only just put forward its program and had just begun to take action, and opposition was everywhere.

Those people found various reasons to attack the New Deal, and then began to attack Fan Zhongyan...

Among them, the most severe attack was that Fan Zhongyan formed a clique.

This was also a fatal blow. Zhao Zhen, who had already intended to retreat, ended the New Deal and Fan Zhongyan resigned sadly.

After this battle, the word "party" became a big killer, and no one dared to use it. It was not until later that Wang Anshi came to power that party strife started again, and then a fierce fighting began. The ultimate loser Wang Anshi also resigned sadly.

So when he heard this person mention forming a party, even Zhao Zhen became angry.

He looked at the powerful man coldly, and the events of that year surged through his mind.

Fan Wenzheng...

I can't help him!

However, the counterattack of those people at that time made it impossible for me to sleep peacefully in the palace, so I could only...

There was water in his eyes, and he suddenly discovered a problem.

These powerful people were also opponents of the Qingli New Deal that year.

They were the main force among those who said that Fan Zhongyan was forming a clique.

Today they brought up the old talk again, but they were only dealing with a young man. Why is this?

It was because Shen An touched their vital interests.

The most important thing for the powerful is the inheritance of their descendants, and the most important thing for inheritance is the education of their descendants.

Studying at the Imperial Academy was their destiny, but this life was ended by Shen An.

Their descendants will have fewer channels to get ahead in the future. If things go on like this, the family will gradually decline.

Shen An, our feud has become serious.

Yes, this is a big feud.

So they used the same tactics they used against Fan Zhongyan back then.

"Your Majesty, Shen An is forming a clique!"

"He formed a clique in Taixue and acted unscrupulously. What will he do in the future? Conspiracy?"

"..."

crazy!

The important ministers looked at these people dumbfounded. Bao Zheng was already angry and was about to come out to scold him when Zhang Bian arrived.

The robe is still flowing.

"What happened to Zhou Xingyi's case?"

Is it actually the case that the officials are investigating by the Imperial City Division?

Zhang Baibian said: "Your Majesty, the Imperial City Division has worked together to achieve a result in this case."

The dignitaries looked at Zhang Bianqian coldly, and some were secretly cursing this official-raised dog, wishing that he would be blown away by the wind tomorrow when he went out and be blown outside the Great Wall.

"Zhou Xing offered a reward of one thousand guans and threatened to take Shen An's life..."

"brute!"

This was the official conclusion. Bao Zheng was the first to stand up and cursed: "You still have the nerve to cry and complain, these people deserve to be beaten to death!"

The faces of those dignitaries were ugly, and someone said: "Bao Zheng, what we are talking about is Shen An forming a party!"

Previously we were talking about personal vendettas, but now we are talking about cliques and official business, so you can beat them to death!

Bao Zheng was also speechless.

"...Zhou Xing ordered his subordinates to go out to watch the sideshow. He thought he was covering up, but he quietly took his people to...the private prostitution gathering place behind the Liao Embassy, ​​but was intercepted by Shen An. The two sides fought, and Shen An personally interrupted Zhou Xing's One leg, then the minister arrived, and Shen An retreated. The minister's people watched him all the way home without turning back..."

Zhou Xing couldn't beat Shen An?

Zhao Zhen only asked about the result. He didn't know the process until today. He couldn't help but ask: "Zhou Xing couldn't beat Shen An?"

The powerful person questioned: "Zhou Xing often polishes his muscles. Generally, three or five heroes cannot get close to him. How can Shen An be his opponent? There must be helpers."

Zhou Xing is the younger brother in the powerful circle, and he has great martial arts, which is the foundation of the Zhou family.

Once this foundation of establishment is removed, the Zhou family will have nothing and become a rich and powerful person who lives for a living, and will have to face the indifference of the emperor.

Zhang Baba said coldly: "I witnessed the whole process at that time."

Zhou Xing's punch was shouldered by Shen An, and then Shen An knocked Zhou Xing down with a series of attacks, all of which happened under his nose.

So he was very determined.

If he knew that Shen An had a steel plate on his chest, he would probably have his sunken eyeballs fall out.

So Shen An's suspicion was cleared.

Who broke Zhou Xing’s other leg and what happened next?

This question was swirling in everyone's mind, and they immediately fell into the issue of forming a party.

This is about to start a war!

The consequence of this accusation was that the two sides became mortal enemies.

But looking at the looks of the powerful men, it was clear that they had made up their minds.

We will never withdraw our troops until Shen An is killed today!

Form a party!

They clung to this idea to death.

"... Guo Qian can't control him, and those students only follow his lead. If this continues, who will be the students from Taixue?"

A powerful man turned around and looked at the ministers, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Whose is it?"

The atmosphere was solemn, and Zhao Zhen knew that he could not be kind today.

"Go and let Shen An come."

The discussion continued, and after more than half an hour, the person who went to summon Shen An came back.

"Where's Shen An?"

Not seeing Shen An made Zhao Zhen feel cold.

Is this guy feeling guilty?

Although he has never been on the battlefield, his career as an emperor who has experienced political struggles has taught him that he cannot retreat regardless of reason. Many times, once you retreat, you can no longer move forward, which is both reasonable and unreasonable.

The dignitaries looked at each other, the joy in their eyes was vague but very clear.

The chamberlain said: "Your Majesty, Shen An said that since the official ordered a person to be grounded, that person would not dare to disobey the order..."

"This is an excuse! This is an excuse for a guilty conscience!"

The dignitaries were proud and UU Reading www.uukanshu.net pretended to be indignant.

The chamberlain said: "Your Majesty, Guo Qian of the Imperial College is offering wine to you and I would like to see him."

"What is he here for?"

Is this to testify against Shen An?

This time, Taixue shines brightly, and the first achievement is Shen An, while Guo Qian, who serves as the Imperial College's sacrificial wine, is a little lackluster.

If you want to regain power, you should take the opportunity to stab Shen An.

He looked at Guo Qian with complicated eyes, waiting for the knife...

"Your Majesty, I heard someone said that Shen Taizhao was impeached and formed a clique in Taixue. I am inexplicably surprised and have something to say."

Inexplicably surprised?

What does it mean?

Under the attention of everyone, Guo Qian said seriously: "Today, Shen Toizhao said something in Taixue, which shocked the professors and students..."
