A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 425 Shen An’s confidence

Human beings are born selfish and predatory.

As a human being at the top of the food chain, even if he pretends to be gentle, the jungle atmosphere in his bones is everywhere.

I will kill anyone who takes advantage of me or suppresses me!

This is the truest thought in the heart. Some people can suppress it and let these thoughts bubble up occasionally.

Some people couldn't hold it down, so their eyes showed a fierce light.

But they all have one thing in common: stay out of my way.

Shen An blocked Guo Qian's way.

So everyone thought that he came here to stab Shen An.

"...Ask yourself why you are studying now, whether it is for high-ranking officials and generous salaries, or for the revitalization of the Song Dynasty..."

Guo Qian was repeating Shen An's words, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became calm.

The dignitaries were a little surprised.

What bullshit is the revitalization of the Song Dynasty.

Does Da Song Zhenxing have anything to do with me?

I only care about how much benefit my family can have.

A good Song Dynasty is a Song Dynasty that can benefit me.

This was their true idea during the Qingli period; during Wang Anshi's administration, these ideas "sparkled" and killed these two innovations.

You innovate yours, but don't touch my interests, otherwise I will kill you!

The powerful and powerful throughout the ages have always been like this. This is not something that can be changed by enlightenment, but Chi Guoguo's humanity is 'sparkling'.

"...The Imperial Academy is responsible for the rise and fall of the world..."

good!

Zhao Zhen wanted to say hello, but stopped after seeing the faces of the powerful.

Is this person not taking credit for himself?

Returning with the power of a great victory over Jiaozhi, Jin was granted the title of Kaiguozi. This was so high-spirited.

At this time, not to mention young people, those middle-aged people can't be stable!

If you don't take the opportunity to win over and get some confidants and accomplices for yourself, are you still a human being?

A person's vision determines his future.

After a person's three views are finalized, he will use these three views to examine the world. He will be surprised when he encounters people and things that do not conform to his own three views.

Are you out of your mind?

They are not used to this view of taking the world as their own responsibility, and think that such people are fools.

Guo Qian continued: "Shen Taizhao left the couplets at the end. I was so happy to see them that I ordered them to be rubbed and then engraved outside the gate of Taixue."

"What couplet?"

Shen An took the initiative and called on the students of Taixue to take the revitalization of the Song Dynasty as their own responsibility, thus easing the impeachment of the so-called Taixue Party.

But that's not enough!

He looked at Guo Qian.

"The sound of wind, rain, and reading are all in my ears."

The first couplet is good, Zhao Zhen nodded slightly.

No one can be sure of Shen An's literary attainments. You might say that he has no culture, but some of the poems he produced are amazing.

But if you want to say that he is talented, you can't see that he has written a few good articles.

Now this first couplet is good, at least the artistic conception is there.

Almost all the important ministers present were literary experts, so they couldn't help but nod their heads after hearing this first couplet, which they thought was very good.

After Ouyang Xiu vigorously attacked the so-called "Taixue style", articles and poems no longer pursued gorgeous words and uncommon words.

That’s why this kind of artistic conception composed of simple words is admirable.

But there's nothing particularly outstanding about it.

"Care about family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs."

After Guo Qian finished reading, he resigned.

The rest...it's okay!

The powerful people were dumbfounded.

These days, it is important to write from the heart. Whatever you think in your mind is what you write.

As a result, one of Shen An's couplets was a slap in the face.

His words also mentioned the issue of three redundancies, and among the three redundants, the powerful occupied two.

Redundant officials and redundant expenses.

How dare he mention Sanduan again?

Fan Zhongyan also mentioned it later, but only once.

Who dares to risk the disapproval of the world to encourage the students of Taixue to solve this matter?

This is seeking death!

Moreover, he made a couplet without shame, and Guo Qian followed suit, saying that it would be engraved on both sides of the gate of Taixue.

Shameless old thing!

"The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading...the sound is heard."

Zhao Zhen has been a little lazy recently, but at this moment he rarely got up, looked down at the ministers, and chanted: "Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned about... I am filled with emotions in my heart. If all students in the world are like this, I am worried. What kind of foreign enemies, what state affairs do I have to worry about?"

If Shen An's words were a slap in the face, then what Zhao Zhen was doing now was definitely another slap in the face.

The faces of the powerful were like rouge shops, colorful.

Bao Zheng came out and said: "Your Majesty, Shen An's son knows that he is the most loyal one. Among other things, he personally charged into battle in Fuzhou, and the same was true in Southwest China. He almost couldn't come back. Such a minister..."

"What?"

Zhao Zhen didn't know this, so he asked, "You almost didn't come back? What's going on?"

Bao Zheng sighed: "At that time, a Jiaozhi warrior broke into the spear array. Shen An personally went to kill this man. The two sides slashed at each other. Shen An was lucky enough to kill his opponent, but his shoulder was also injured. If it weren't for luck, he might have been killed. I won’t be able to come back..."

Zhao Zhen said in shock: "Why don't I know this? Why has no one ever told me?!"

Bao Zheng said with a look of relief: "I didn't know this at first, but later I saw Shen An's expression of pain when he moved his left arm, so I forced him to question his entourage, and then I found out about it..."

He looked at the dignitaries and roared: "Such a minister who disregards fame and wealth, such a minister who does not care about life and death for the sake of the Song Dynasty and the officialdom... Who dares to say that he is a party member?"

"who?"

At this moment, Bao Zheng was furious and furious.

He took a step forward, and the powerful people couldn't help but take a step back.

No one answered.

Did that madman actually walk between life and death?

Why doesn't he die?

A sense of frustration spread.

"You are working hard to benefit your own family, but you can't see a loyal minister getting some praise. What is this? This is jealousy, this is narrow-minded."

Bao Zheng had been holding it in for so long and finally got the chance to spray. How could it be easy?

"Shen An refuses to come, why? It's because of injustice!"

Bao Zheng said sadly and angrily: "A loyal minister did not fall by the sword of the Cochin people, but was wantonly slandered by his own people... Who will speak for him? Who will defend him? Who?"

Old Bao Zheng's body trembled and he slowly looked at Zhao Zhen.

Official, if you don't give me an explanation today, I swear I won't give up.

Zhao Zhen's face was cold, and he was also very angry. If Bao Zheng hadn't come out to complain, he would definitely scold these people.

The emperor will be suspicious. No matter who he is, as long as he is an emperor, he will have this problem to some extent.

But when faced with a minister who was not afraid of life and death to kill the enemy, those suspicions turned into smoke and dissipated instantly.

"What else do you want?"

Zhao Zhen asked coldly.

The dignitaries looked pale and bowed one after another to apologize.

Just when he said that Shen An was too cruel and lost three of Zhou Xing's legs, Zhang Ba8en came and slapped him in the face.

Okay, let's talk about Shen An's clique.

There must be some basis for this matter. Your Majesty, let's get rid of him.

But this time it was Taixue's immediate boss Guo Qian who came to refute the rumors, leaving them speechless.

Shen An's words and deeds, including the couplet, will become evidence of today's farce and will be constantly mentioned by people.

Every mention is a disparagement of these powerful men.

Then Bao Zheng's last hit was more like a decisive blow, which sealed the matter.

Zhao Zhen's questions made these people feel ashamed and ashamed...

As for whether the powerful have these two emotions, probably only they themselves know.

As they walked out of the palace in despair, someone said, "Does Shen An feel aggrieved?"

Someone sneered and said: "It's the best. If we can make him angry to death, then we will have great merit today."

"He must be crying right now...hahahaha!"

Shen An was wronged!

The matter of Zhou Xing being abolished was over. Zhao Zhen sighed emotionally: "Shen An feels aggrieved, so I can't summon him..."

Bao Zheng took the opportunity to complain: "Your Majesty, those powerful people are looking for food everywhere. When I was the censor Zhongcheng, I often impeached them, but you ignored them. Now they have been exposed for their true colors... Your Majesty, it's time to deal with them."

Zhao Zhen covered his forehead and smiled bitterly: "If it moves, it will be chaos..."

Han Qi's eyes became more relaxed.

He himself has gradually turned from a reformist back then into an opposition.

This change in attitude seems very subversive, but some clues can be seen from Han Qi's family trajectory.

The Han family has gradually become a powerful person and has become a vested interest.

What people fear most is cutting their own flesh. Han Qi is not a Buddha, so naturally he cannot cut his own flesh to feed eagles.

What's more, he saw the power of those opponents back then and felt that reform had no way out in the Song Dynasty, no, it was a dead end.

So he was struggling.

It's painful to be entangled, but luckily I have Shen An by my side.

Shen An must be annoyed at home right now...

Shen An was a little angry, but it was not because of this matter, but because of his sister.

Guoguo had a quarrel with her brother over whether to eat vegetables for breakfast.

The little girl's awkwardness is very arrogant.

On her head was the hair that her brother had combed two mornings ago. Guoguo turned her head to one side and cried in grievance.

"...Brother...brother bullies others...doesn't eat vegetables..."

Children don't like to eat vegetables after they reach a certain age, but what if they don't eat vegetables?

Shen An taught and coaxed her, and finally managed to coax her sister. She promised to eat vegetables with every meal from now on, and then he had time to check his own strength.

There is a large room in the backyard. This large room has no windows, the door is very heavy, and it is very delicately built.

Since there are no windows inside, it takes some effort to open the door.

The door opened and light came in.

Shen An lit a lantern and closed the door after entering.

The light of the lantern spread out gently. Shen An looked at the large wooden barrels and carefully checked the seals on the edges of the barrels.

"Don't blow it up!"

These wooden barrels are full of gunpowder, which was carefully made by Shen An himself.

If these large barrels of gunpowder were ignited, the Shen family would probably cease to exist.

So Shen An was very cautious. No one could come in this room. The big lock outside the door ensured that curious Guoguo could not realize his curiosity.

Then his eyes turned to the dozens of clay pots on the side. UU Reading www.uukknsuu

Those clay pots were filled with gunpowder, and the openings were tightly sealed. If necessary, Shen An could use these clay pot bombs to blow up Bianliang and make him dizzy.

The biggest consideration for not handing over the gunpowder is this.

Safety!

The safety of the Shen family!

Shen An is not a saint, so it is impossible for him to hand over the gunpowder formula before it is absolutely safe.

Still have to wait!

He didn't know the day of Zhao Zhen's death, but no one could stop Zhao Zongshi from ascending to the throne, so he was willing to use various means to do so.

And his ultimate goal is Zhao Zhongzhen.

On the last day of this month, thank you all for your support. Then comes April. I urge everyone to vote for the Jazz tomorrow with a guaranteed monthly vote.
