A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 699: If the officials don’t kill you, I will!

Shen An came, and as soon as he came in, he saw Wang Yu talking with his head raised, and his sharp attitude gave people a headache.

"...I interrogated the Great Eaters and learned that they secretly took a lot of things in the Song Dynasty and planned to take these things back and spread them everywhere..."

Wang Yu's voice was a bit sharp: "Why do you want to sit back and watch? I'm wondering why the Song Dynasty wants to sit back and do nothing?"

This is a subtle criticism of someone's dereliction of duty.

Zeng Gongliang coughed dryly: "The former Tang Dynasty embraced all rivers, and only then could there be a prosperous age when all nations came to court..."

"Zeng Xiang's words are wrong!"

Zeng Gongliang was interrupted and was annoyed, but when he turned around he saw Shen An.

Shen An cupped his hands at him, and then said sternly: "The so-called openness to all rivers is of course necessary, and the coming of all nations to the DPRK is naturally necessary, but what should be paid for this, I think it is debatable. For example, gunpowder, for example, the method of making ordnance, such as There are many things in miscellaneous studies, why should these be given away?"

"Gunpowder? That's just firecrackers. Yes, it's also used in the military, but it's used to start fires. It's not a good thing."

It was Zeng Gongliang who said this. But everyone nodded, including the chamberlains.

The most common use of gunpowder in the Song Dynasty was in fireworks and firecrackers, followed by the army's use to ignite fires, such as poisonous smoke and the like.

Shen An sighed: "Isn't gunpowder a good thing? But Xiaguan is thinking about this thing recently and thinks it will be of great use in the future!"

Zeng Gongliang said with a smile: "Is Anbei trying to fool me? How many years have it been since the gunpowder was produced? Those alchemy Taoists are so good at playing with gunpowder, but what is its use? The old man in the army has also seen gunpowder. Add some poison, and then use gunpowder to trigger it, which will make the person feel uncomfortable...what's the use?"

"Firecrackers."

Han Qi said with a smile: "The children in my family like firecrackers. Every year at the end of the year, I sit on the steps and watch the children light firecrackers and play. This is like teasing the grandchild, hahahaha."

Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "Isn't it? The sound of the firecrackers is pleasant to the ear. I like to listen to the sound and fall asleep. I slept very soundly those few nights."

Seeing that Shen An was just smiling, Zhao Shu asked, "What do you think the gunpowder can be used for?"

Today's gunpowder is not widely used in military affairs. The most primitive prototype of a musket, the musket, had to wait for many more years and did not appear until the Southern Song Dynasty.

So even Zhao Shu is laughing. He felt that Shen An was endorsing Wang Yu, but he couldn't find an excuse, so he made a fool of himself to scare people.

Shen An said calmly: "It can kill people."

"Blow people to death?" Zhao Shu said with a smile: "Okay, I understand."

These words were like coaxing a child. Shen An was slightly angry and said: "The Mangshan people have always attached great importance to gunpowder. I have done some research on the original basis. Three days! In three days, I will invite your majesty. One view.”

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "Okay, I will take a look when the time comes. But... the textbook of miscellaneous studies was copied. Zhang Baibian, you go to Taixue immediately and handle the matter in front of everyone. Be more decisive." .”

"yes."

Zhang resigned in eight years, but Wang Yu felt that he was not cruel enough, so he suggested: "Your Majesty, I think these people should be severely punished."

Young people have a strong sense of justice, which is a good thing, so Zhao Shu asked with a smile: "Then how severe do you think the punishment should be."

He thought that the place of exile would be more remote at most, but Wang Yu said: "I think he should be killed! Use Hong Pi's head to warn the teachers and students of Taixue that whoever dares to commit another crime next time will be killed. It only takes two or three times, Taixue If you learn, you will be as silent as a cicada, and no one will dare to leak out the miscellaneous knowledge."

Everyone felt a gust of cold wind blowing through the hall, and couldn't help but shudder, and then looked at the young man carefully.

Wang Yu's face was very dark from the sun, but his eyes were very serious.

This young man is so cruel!

Shen An wanted to die. He glared at Wang Yu and said, "Your Majesty, he drank too much."

Wang Yu glanced at Shen An sharply and said, "I haven't drank. Your Majesty, at this time in the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty has become extremely ill. It can't scrape the bones and needs blood transfusions! How can the innovation be successful if I can't use thunderous means?" I thought it was time to kill, kill 10,000 people...wuwuwu!"

Shen An rushed over and covered his mouth, and said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid he may have encountered an evil spirit along the way. I will help him exorcise the evil spirit later."

Zhao Shu looked at Wang Yu dumbfounded, thinking that he might have really hit something evil, so he said: "This journey has been difficult, it is indeed not easy!"

Shen An whispered: "If you talk any more, your father will be in trouble."

When Wang Anshi was mentioned, Wang Yu's mood calmed down, Shen An let go of his hand, he first apologized, and then said: "This time the three shipping companies have been cleaned up, and it is estimated that the annual income of the shipping companies this year will be more than one million yuan. "

"oh!"

Zhao Shu was overjoyed and said: "Wang Qing always said you were stupid in the past, but today I see you are smart. The Southwest group heard that you have contributed a lot, and I have seen all over Bianliang, but young talents like you are rare. It can be seen that talents are rare, talents are rare! Hahahaha!"

This was the first time Zhao Shu laughed, which made the courtiers laugh in a relaxed mood, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a while.

After Zhao Zhen passed away, the cost of building the mausoleum was not small. The imperial court provided a lot of money, and Zhao Shu emptied out all the small warehouses in the palace. He was worried about having no money to spend. This news really made him feel happy like a timely rain.

"Reward!" Zhao Shu's face was red and he looked in great spirits: "You are still young, so you should be Chao Sanlang."

Chao Sanlang was from the seventh rank. Although he was a casual official, Wang Yu's rank was immediately raised.

The key is that this is not Yin Guan, but Wang Yu earned it through his own efforts.

Wang Yu thanked him, but he didn't look happy at all. Zhao Shu was even more happy when he saw him. He felt that this young man had a great potential and a promising future.

After leaving the palace, Wang Yu whispered: "I don't like the imperial examination for many reasons. One of them is that I don't like to be a subordinate official for idiots."

Shen An was speechless, feeling that this guy was really too arrogant and arrogant.

"Can that gunpowder come up with something new? If not, then just blame it on illness."

Wang Yu felt that Shen An's resourcefulness was not good, he was really bad: "At that time, it was enough for you to kill the big cannibal and steal miscellaneous textbooks. Why use gunpowder to scare people? Now Zeng Gongliang, they will definitely wait and see." Your joke."

Shen An smiled and said, "Let's see it in three days."

He hadn't made gunpowder for a long time, and he missed the sound of the explosion.

After the thirteen people were taken away from Shen An, the atmosphere in the Imperial College was not good, and the students looked at Guo Qian in a wrong way.

"Everyone thinks I'm stabbing you in the back, but I'm not that kind of person!"

Guo Qian was very angry, but it was undeniable that Shen An's withdrawal made him feel that he had regained control of Taixue, which was gratifying.

It turned out that Shen An figured out the method of answering questions, became famous in the imperial examination, and then became the master in the hearts of countless students. Then came miscellaneous studies. Those wonderful experiments and various novel arguments in miscellaneous studies had a great impact on the Confucian system, but they were supported by students. The reluctance of those students when Shen An left Taixue is clear evidence of this.

Siye Chen Ben said in a deep voice: "But the students all thought so, and even I was booed. They said that in order to regain our rights, we colluded with those people and ran away from Shen An, but This matter has nothing to do with us!”

Guo Qian nodded, but Gao Yuqi, who was beside him and was interfering in Taixue's official affairs, said: "But when the outside world questioned the miscellaneous studies, we did not speak out. This is collusion in the eyes of the students."

Guo Qian was furious at first, but he said in embarrassment when he heard this: "I have been good to others for many years, but I don't talk much!"

After being in the officialdom for a long time, Guo Qian became a slippery official. He would not cause trouble if he could, and he would not talk if he could not. He used this method to stay in the officialdom for many years, and he was always unfavorable, but this time he failed.

Chen Ben thought he was a cunning old man, but this kind of cunning was just self-protection, and no one had the right to accuse him.

But how to suppress this matter?

"Shen An bought three houses on Wuxue Lane..."

Chen Ben's voice sounded like he was announcing a funeral: "It's just two blocks away from our place. Now the three houses have been opened up and rebuilt. Judging from the time, the admission will probably be held next spring. Wine, I have seen those three houses, they can accommodate hundreds of people, and from now on he will become a rival with our Taixue."

"Becoming an opponent with Shen An... Jiu Jiu, he is the one who came up with this trick of ours. God knows what other tricks he has not used yet. Don't lure our people away then."

Gao Yuqi couldn't sit still anymore, "I should have stopped him then and prevented Shen An from leaving."

He was afraid that Guo Qian would be unhappy, so he said: "Shen An rarely comes to Taixue once. Every time he comes, he goes to Yang Yan and the others to give advice and does not interfere in the internal affairs of Taixue at all. Such a person... will have more benefits by staying. There are so many!”

These words are complaining that Guo Qian sat back and did nothing at that time, and now he is suffering the consequences.

Guo Qian felt a wave of anger lingering in his chest and abdomen. He suppressed his anger and said, "That's all. Now that the deal is done, what are you talking about? Let's talk to the students. It will be fine after a while."

"Where is Guo Qian?"

A cold voice came from outside. Guo Qian, who was in the midst of the fire, finally couldn't hold it in anymore and cursed: "The maggots crawled out of the cesspit. Do you really think I'm not angry...I...I...Zhang Douzhi" coming."

It was Zhang Baibian who came in. Guo Qian felt regretful and said with a smile, "I didn't know that just now. I was offended."

Zhang Baba said coldly: "Every word and deed you have been waiting for will be reported to the officials later. Also, who is Hong Pi?"

What would the officials think if they knew what he said just now? Guo Qian was in a panic. Chen Ben quickly said: "Hong Pi is a student. Why, did he commit a crime?"

Zhang Baba said coldly: "He has committed a serious crime, please lead the way."

Later, people from the Imperial City Department dragged Hong Pi out of the school building in front of everyone.

"What an injustice!"

When Hong Pi saw the skull face, he remembered the legend about Zhang Ba8en in Bianliang City. He couldn't help but loosen his crotch, and he immediately lost control.

The teachers and students were all called out, and Zhang Bianba said coldly: "For the sake of a hundred guan, Hong Pi copied a copy of the textbook on miscellaneous studies and gave it to the cannibal. The officials were furious!"

"So valuable?"

Someone lost their voice and said, Zhang Baibian's eyes were filled with ghostly fire, and he said seriously: "You can go and try. From today on, Imperial College is also under the supervision of our Imperial City Department. If anyone has the ability to sell miscellaneous textbooks , the whole family died!"

A hot wind blew by, but everyone shivered.

Actually want to kill someone?

Someone timidly said: "Don't you not kill people?"

Zhang Baba said solemnly: "In order to make profit, Hong Pi colluded with foreign vassals and betrayed the secrets of the Song Dynasty. Today, I will teach you a good boy who can make thousands of mistakes. That is the Great Song Dynasty." There is always a way to escape the mistakes made within the Song Dynasty. But if you collude with outside vassals, it means that the people of the Song Dynasty do not recognize themselves. It would not be a pity to be cut into pieces by a thousand swords!"

Hong Pi raised his head and howled: "Officials don't know how to kill!"

Most people in the old Zhao family regard kindness as a magic weapon to protect themselves. Zhao Shu has never killed anyone since he came to the throne, so Hong Pi took a chance.

Zhang Baibian looked at the teachers and students, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he forced a smile, looking sinister, like a fierce ghost.

"The officials won't kill you, but someone will."

He turned away, standing tall.

"You are selling the Song Dynasty. If I just sit back and watch you survive, that would be dereliction of duty!"
