A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 506: Should the Vice-Chairman of the Privy Council carry out the decree?

Shen An poured him a cup of tea, then raised his glass to invite him to drink.

The tea leaves are floating in the water, and the color of the tea soup is slightly green, which is pleasing to the eye.

Zhang Sheng took a sip and praised: "This tea tastes good, simple, but has a long aftertaste."

Shen An just looked at the tea soup and said calmly: "There are always people who think that deputy Chengzhi is a good job and are jealous when others are promoted. But what Shen wants to tell you is that this is a hard job."

Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Shen An said: "If the Song Dynasty is strong, then this deputy decree, including the errands in the ceremony room, are all good jobs, because they can overlook all the foreign vassals. But is the Song Dynasty strong?"

He raised his head and said seriously: "The Liao people can threaten the Song Dynasty unscrupulously, and the Xixia people can threaten the Song Dynasty unscrupulously... Even the Jiaozhi people are restless. How can you let the people in the gift room go to the Song Dynasty like this? Negotiate?”

Zhang Sheng's smile stiffened and he said uncomfortably: "This matter... In the past... starting from the Chanyuan Alliance, the exchanges between the Song Dynasty and the Liao people were relatively peaceful, and I thought it was fine. Who knew that Feng Li was frivolous?" ...a big mistake."

"His frivolity is just one thing."

Shen An said: "The root cause is...weak countries have no diplomacy."

Zhang Sheng felt something move in his mind, and then murmured: "A weak country has no diplomacy, that's right, but the Song Dynasty is not weak!"

Just kid yourself.

Shen An stood up and said: "Chen Ang, the former governor of Linfu Road, is back. Shen has some contacts with him and thinks he is a good person."

This is the condition.

Do you, Zhang Sheng, agree?

This is the alliance under the city!

How proud Zhang Sheng was before, now he is so confused.

"That's all, I'll take care of this matter."

Zhang Sheng returned to the Privy Council all the way and asked someone to check the situation.

"Ms. sir, Chen Ang said that he had colluded with the Zhe family, so he was left idle after returning to Beijing."

Nonsense!

Zhang Sheng sneered and said: "What is collusion? Someone is teasing him... no, they are teasing the Zhe family. This is to scare the monkeys and warn those who come after them not to get close to the Zhe family."

This kind of thing couldn't be more obvious. It was just an official dispute. Zhang Sheng could roughly guess who the person behind it was.

The attendant felt dissatisfied and said, "Mr. Sir, Shen An used this matter as a threat. He should not have agreed at that time."

Zhang Sheng smiled: "What do you know? If Feng Li fails, the Liao envoy is proud. What can the Privy Council do at this time?"

The attendant frowned and said, "But it's hard to save."

Zhang Sheng nodded: "Exactly. After Tang Ren left, this deputy Chengzhi became a hot cake, but there are so many official positions in the capital, and there are too many hot cakes. Why are those people staring at this place? They just want to sink Shen An is isolated from the Privy Council, and he is not allowed to continue to influence the Fourth Room of the Privy Council... You have to know one thing, the Fourth Room of the Privy Council may seem small, but it controls a lot of things..."

The entourage lamented: "Soldiers, officials, households, and rites, these four houses are of great importance, so the position of deputy emperor has become popular."

He was suddenly startled and said: "Ms. sir, Shen An intervened... This time he has roped in Chen Ang again. What does this mean? Form a party?"

Forming a party is a word that makes people fearful. As he spoke, the attendant couldn't help but look at the door.

"He just formed a party with these few people... What party did he form?"

Zhang Sheng took a sip of tea, narrowed his eyes and said: "In officialdom, a person who walks alone will sooner or later die without a burial place. Bao Zheng is known as a direct minister, but he often joins forces with others in private. Shen An... Who does he have in his hands? "

The attendant twirled his fingers and said: "Tang Ren, now there is Chen Ang... Zhejia... this doesn't count, does it? After all, he is a warrior."

Zhang Sheng sighed: "They are all minor officials below. That's all. I'll go find Han Qi and the others to discuss it and get it done as soon as possible."

"Are you causing trouble?"

Zhao Zhen said habitually: "Then change it."

A deputy-deputy position doesn't allow him to use his brain.

Zhang Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, that Feng Li offended the Liao envoy, and the Liao envoy has been clamoring to see your Majesty."

"what happened?"

Zhao Zhen looked a little weak: "There is no news about the Mangshan Army in the north. Why is the Liao envoy so domineering?"

Zhang Sheng told the whole story and finally bowed to apologize.

"That idiot!"

Han Qi was so angry that he said, "This matter should be kept vague. Denying it will make Song Dynasty sit on the wax. When they come with the heads of those rural soldiers, how should we respond? Let's keep it vague for now and wait for the news to come. Don’t you understand this? How can he act like a deputy?”

Zhang Sheng said: "This matter is very troublesome now. If the Mangshan army is surrounded and killed in the Liao border, how to deal with the aftermath? The Liao people are afraid that they will not give up..."

Sending troops to sneak into the Liao territory, is this what you Song people call brotherhood?

These are clearly plastic flower brothers!

Han Qi said coldly: "One hundred people."

Zhang Sheng lowered his head in agreement.

"It's just a hundred people. That's not an invasion. If we kill this one, the Liao people won't be able to make the matter bigger."

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, and the matter was settled.

But who in the Privy Council will negotiate with the Liao envoy?

After Feng Li messed up the matter, meeting the Liao envoy was an extremely risky job.

The ministers and ministers were all in a daze, and no one said a word.

Zhao Zhen also had a headache. Seeing that Zhang Sheng didn't seem nervous, he asked, "Does Zhang Qing have a candidate? If so, please let me know."

Zhang Sheng said: "Your Majesty, how is Shen An?"

Huh!

Only then did Zhao Zhen realize that he had forgotten Shen An.

He looked at Zaifu and said, "What do you think?"

He was moved, really moved.

Although Shen An has all kinds of bad qualities, he is talented in diplomacy.

But it was Chen Zhong who brought this about, and Shen An was also a victim!

Is it shameful to ask him to settle the matter now?

Zhao Zhen wanted to lose face, so he asked Zaifu.

How many of you come out shamelessly?

Naturally, Zaifu cannot be ashamed, but this matter has nothing to do with them!

Chen Zhong is a powerful person, and he should be slapped on the butts of powerful people.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Zhang Sheng coughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, the Vice-President of the Privy Council has decreed... Feng Li can't do it, of course. I remembered someone..."

"who?"

"Chen Ang, the former governor of Fuzhou, has been busy in Beijing."

Zhang Sheng said seriously: "Chen Ang had a lot of negotiations with the Xixia people when he was in Fuzhou. He was neither humble nor overbearing. He can be regarded as a model for officials in the Song Dynasty. I think this person can be the deputy minister of the Privy Council."

Damn it!

Han Qi swore that this was Shen An's condition.

Otherwise, Zhang Sheng would go out and grab Chen Ang when he was full.

Zhao Zhen said lightly: "Yes."

Chen Ang felt that he was an unlucky guy. He had worked conscientiously in Fuzhou for several years. There was hard work without credit, right?

No, he felt that his contribution was not small.

The Xixia people attacked several times. Without the unity of him and Zhe Jizu, how would the victory have come?

But now?

Just one sentence of colluding with the Zhe family turned all his achievements into smoke.

"Why?"

His wife was arguing with the landlord.

An official's wife naturally wants to be decent, but now she is quarreling with a landlord over the rent.

Where has this dignity gone?

"Why should the price increase?"

Chen Ang's wife roared, "We have agreed on the price, why do you increase the price?"

Businessmen must be trustworthy. This is the pursuit of Bianliang businessmen.

But the landlord was not a businessman, so he said coldly: "Where is the contract?"

Chen Ang's wife was startled and said, "Didn't I say..."

say what?

At first, Chen Ang thought that he could only stay for ten and a half days at most, so he only made a verbal agreement.

What should I do now that the landlord refuses to acknowledge the debt?

I have no choice but to move.

But where can I move to in a hurry?

Chen Ang felt bitter in his heart and said, "That's it, move."

His wife slowly turned around, she was stunned at first, then suddenly squatted down, covered her face with her hands and choked silently.

When you see your mother crying, your child will cry too

This day...

Chen Ang sniffed, feeling that he was really worthless.

The landlord coughed dryly and said, "Either you pay the rent, or you have to move out today."

If you don't accept the price increase, get out!

"move place!"

Chen Ang calculated his money and could only shake his head.

The family of three didn't have much, so they packed everything with just a few bags.

When the family of three walked to the front door, the landlord suddenly said: "You have a long life, don't take the wrong road."

Chen Ang turned around suddenly, all the confusion in his heart was solved.

Not just anyone can raise prices at will. The landlord is so unscrupulous. It turns out someone is instigating it!

When the landlord saw him turning around, he said calmly: "If you know your mistake...then there is still hope."

If you draw a clear line with your family, you'll be fine.

Chen Ang smiled bitterly, shook his head, turned around and walked out of the door without saying anything.

"Don't regret leaving this door!"

Those who can be landlords in Bianliang are basically quite wealthy, and there are even many powerful people working in this industry.

Back then, when housing prices in Bianliang were not high, Boss Zhao came over to release his military power over a glass of wine, and these powerful people became rich.

What should I do if I get rich? Chinese people like real estate the most, so their ancestors went crazy buying fields, houses, and shops. Those who survived until now have basically become prosperous.

When the landlord saw that he was not stopping, he sneered and said, "Just prepare to go to the southwest to become an official. You will never come back in your life."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Ang stopped.

The landlord said proudly: "If I had known better now, why bother then! Haha..."

"I have seen the imperial edict. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net"

Chen Ang stood there blankly outside the door and said with a wry smile: "Let Taizhao see the official's joke."

Shen An stretched out his hand to touch the top of his son's head and asked, "Why does it look like you are fleeing? You can't live here anymore?"

Chen Ang just shook his head, and Shen An took a look inside. The landlord just walked over, looking arrogant.

Why!

Shen An couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the sins he suffered when renting a house in his previous life.

He patted Chen Ang on the shoulder and asked, "Will the Vice Privy Councilor accept the decree?"

Chen Ang still shook his head habitually, and stopped midway through shaking his head.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Shen An in disbelief.

"Awaiting the edict..."

Are you lying to me?

The landlord came here to ask questions, but Chen Ang didn't buy it, so he messed up the matter.

So after hearing Shen An's words, he couldn't help but laugh.

You are so bragging!

"The deputy of the Privy Council has accepted the decree, and his tone is quite serious. Who are you?"

"A certain...Shen An."

The third update is here, good night.
