A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 822 Ruthless Zhao Shu

Every king likes his or her reign name. He feels that the reign name is like a big seal, which can leave his own traces in the history books.

The same is true for Zhao Shu.

His reign name Zhiping, the first year of Zhiping, contains a lot of information.

"The Song Dynasty in the past few years seemed to be in great control, but there were many crises in the country. The Xixia people from outside were constantly harassing, Jiaozhi was also joining in the fun, and the Liao people had ulterior motives... Zhiping..."

There was a hint of spring in the air. Zhao Shu left the palace and felt the vitality.

Chen Zhongheng, who was beside him, smiled and said: "In the official family, peace and stability, according to my opinion, means great peace and stability in the world..."

"nonsense!"

Zhao Shu slapped the railing once, then stopped for the second time, "Then Shen Bian said that the literati of the Song Dynasty loved to pat the railing too much, and there were many poems about patting the railing, and then there was a lot of melancholy. But how can there be so many men? Melancholy? So it’s better to take less pictures of the railings.”

He suddenly mentioned Shen Bian at this moment, which was naturally not without purpose.

Shen Bian and Shen An's father and son were both supporters of the Northern Expedition. Thinking of Zhiping's explanation, Chen Zhongheng seemed to see blood in the sky.

"But if we want to be open to the outside world, we must first stabilize the country."

Zhao Shu turned around with his hands behind his hands and looked at the tall palace, feeling proud in his heart.

"The clan is a big trouble and consumes countless money and food. If it is allowed to continue, it will be redundant. Therefore, it is very good to make a living on your own outside of the fifth service."

"There are a lot of complaints from the officials and the clan! Some people even say they want to cry for Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong..."

"shameless!"

Zhao Shu said harshly: "Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong didn't let them be so fertile, right? After you give birth to a child, you can raise it yourself. Don't always think about leaving it alone. What's the difference between that and pigs?"

Tsk!

Chen Zhongheng shrank his neck, feeling that the official family was probably disgusted with the clan.

"It's great to build an academy. Give them a way out. If they still have to push further, I will naturally have something to say."

A chamberlain walked over quickly and said, "The officials, Third Secretary Bao Zheng still said they had no money, but they gave conditions..."

"Bao Zheng is telling the truth when he says he has no money. There is nothing he can do if the Third Division has to pay more than 100,000 yuan."

Zhao Shu feels that things in the world are always so interesting, "But cutting down the preferential treatment of clan members is to save money, so this is interesting."

He turned around and asked, "What are the conditions?"

The chamberlain said: "Bao Zheng said that for the clan that is paying now, 10,000 guan guarantees the admission of the third generation beyond the fifth server, and 5,000 guan guarantees the admission of the first generation..."

He glanced at Zhao Shu with a look of disbelief.

Officials, Lao Bao is crazy!

He's crazy poor.

He actually sells his admission qualifications for more than the price of a prostitute in Bianliang. Isn't this crazy?

Zhao Shu raised his head, laughed suddenly, and asked: "Bao Zheng... I thought he was old, and I thought I would let him live in old age in a few years. But now it seems that he is still brave and capable of doing things... "

The chamberlain didn't know why the official changed from one thing to his opinion of Bao Zheng, but Chen Zhongheng was staring at him.

"If even half of what an official says is leaked out, you should know the consequences."

"Yes, I don't dare."

Chen Zhongheng waved his hand and the chamberlain resigned.

"Let's see if they are smart...what do you think?"

Zhao Shu suddenly asked.

Chen Zhongheng was shaken all over, really shaken...

Zhao Shu glanced at him and said, "Stop pretending to be scared and speak."

Chen Zhongheng knew that he was talking about the clan, but it was polite to tremble violently, so trembling first and talking later would ensure safety.

"Ten thousand guan is too high, I'm afraid those people won't be able to part with it."

"But what about the descendants outside the fifth server?" Chen Zhongheng gradually began to look like a civil servant. "After studying in the clan academy, there will naturally be officials to take care of you... At least it is a way out, but it cannot be bought with money. "

"Yes! Zhaofu...but I don't want to...no, I don't want to leave this trouble to my descendants." Zhao Shu frowned and said: "Bao Zheng's original intention is good, but what if someone buys it? Could it be that I Their descendants still have to plan for those so-called relatives? The Song Dynasty still has to give them benefits? How is that different from before? "

Zhao Shu lowered his head, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were filled with indifference, "Go and spread the word. After the fifth server, I, my descendants will no longer care about you."

Damn it!

Is this going to separate the family?

Later, when the news came out, Han Qi said tangledly: "Are the official family too ruthless? After all, they all have the surname Zhao, and the family is separated now. This is not easy to write in the history books!"

Zeng Gongliang said calmly: "That's nothing."

Han Qi was sighing, but when he heard this, he stared at him and said, "You can live for another fifty years, and then you will be staring at those people who are repairing the official family..."

The last two words are "history book".

Fifty years later, if Zhao Shu were still alive, he would be over eighty years old. The emperors of ancient and modern times who could live to be eighty would be considered as smoke rising from their ancestral graves, so these words are naturally teasing Zeng Gongliang.

Zeng Gongliang rolled his eyes and decided not to talk to Han Qi.

"Bao Zheng's intentions were good. He wanted the academy to become a special exception. Those who went in to study would be cared for by the royal family. But when the officials refused, he was put on the bus."

The three prime ministers and assistants shook their heads in unison. Han Qi still said domineeringly: "Could it be that the officials feel that Bao Zheng is too old to be used anymore?"

hiss……

Zeng Gongliang and Ouyang Xiu were both surprised, and then felt that this matter was going to cause trouble.

"The Third Secretary is a scheming prime minister. If he is effective, he will have a lot of power in the court. If the officials want Bao Zheng to step down, how many people will keep an eye on the official position of the Third Secretary?"

Then many memorials came from outside, all of which were suggestions from important ministers.

"Look at this... He proposed to send the censor down to keep an eye on the local taxes and catch all the wealthy gentry hiding their land... Return the grain to the warehouse."

"This is even more powerful. He actually suggested charging more taxes on brothels... This is making money from women. It's a good idea, but it's shameless."

"..."

There was an undercurrent surging in the court, but Lao Bao remained the same, and his roar for three years made people feel numb.

After Shen An returned home, he saw the doctor and almost frightened his legs.

"Madam... I will give birth around March."

The fetal movement was severe today, which frightened Yang Zhuoxue, so Zhuang Laoshi invited a doctor.

We are familiar with this doctor, he has been here since Yang Zhuoxue was pregnant.

"How is my wife?"

Shen An's first question was about his wife instead of his children, which made the doctor nod his head and praise him: "Taizhao is a good man."

Hello sister, speak quickly.

Shen An wanted to hit someone, but the doctor stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My wife's body and bones are very good. To be honest, I have seen many women, but few can match her."

This is a good thing. Shen An raised his eyebrows and said, "Honestly..."

Zhuang Laoshi, who was waiting on the side, came over with a low eyebrow.

"Give me double the consultation fee."

It feels good to have money!

The doctor stood up and cupped his hands and said, "That would be disrespectful to me."

The Shen family was rich, and all the doctors wished that someone in their family would get sick.

But everyone from Shen An to Guoguo was in good health and the food tasted delicious, and there was no chance for them to make money.

"Mr. Lang, we have guests."

"where from?"

"Say it's a clan."

"not see!"

Shen An was naturally rejected by the clan, and then the news spread that Su Shi came and Zhao Xu also sent Wang Chongnian.

In the study, Shen An rubbed his eyes and yawned.

"The clan has been complaining a lot recently. Your Majesty is worried that they will turn this way... and it will be difficult to deal with them then."

Wang Chongnian said very cryptically, but Su Shi said nonchalantly: "Isn't the clan just so brave and fierce now? It feels like it's mud, so it's not afraid of anyone."

Wang Chongnian coughed dryly and reminded him that this is the clan and you should be careful in your words and actions.

But who is Su Shi? In the future, both reformists and conservatives will be criticized by him. For such a person, you cannot expect him to have any political wisdom.

"But we are not afraid here in Anbei. If they really dare to come, open the door and let flowers bloom."

Su Shi said proudly: "How could they be closer than the king? They are almost no longer relatives. If you want to commit suicide, I will grant it to them."

Shen An looked at him and thought, no wonder the reformists and conservatives in the future want to kill him. This man's big mouth is really a headache!

Wang Chongnian smiled and said: "This matter is a bit difficult to handle."

Shen An interrupted Su Shi and said, "Tell the king that this matter is very safe!"

"Safe? An Bei, tell me." Su Shi has been studying the art of war recently, so he is very interested in such things.

"After the fifth server, there will be the common people. What should the common people learn?"

"Skills to make a living." Su Shi's answer was approved by Shen An.

Wang Chongnian proposed another possibility, "What about the imperial examination? Study and then take the imperial examination."

Shen An shook his head and said: "Okay, it's okay for them to pass the exam and become officials, but after all, they won't be able to go far."

Wang Chongnian said with admiration: "Yes, they are a clan after all. Unless it is a few generations later, when they become important ministers, the court will be afraid of them."

I was once a relative of the royal family, and now I am the Prime Minister... This is a bit strange!

If it doesn't work out, he will become a powerful minister, repeating the scene where brother and brother finally came together.

The so-called "brother eventually succeeds the younger brother" refers to the fact that after Zhao Kuangyin died, his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi ascended the throne as emperor instead of his son.

"Exactly."

Shen An felt that Wang Chongnian was good, at least he could help Zhao Xu.

"If their official career doesn't go well, why do they study so hard? Is it just to become a minor official?"

Shen An pointed to a book on the table and said: "Zhao Yunliang's grandson Zhao Zhongkuang is now in Mangshan Academy..."

That's what he said. Wang Chongnian was the first to react, bowing and saying: "Waiting for the edict, I understand."

"I understand." Su Shi was not ashamed of his slow response at all, and said excitedly: "Zhao Yunliang and other scheming people have to send their grandson to learn miscellaneous studies. It can be seen that miscellaneous studies are the real ability... After learning miscellaneous studies, he has Having the ability is the real reassurance.”

Su Shi took a breath, looked at Shen An and said, "If the clan goes to study miscellaneous studies, where does that leave Confucianism?"

"Confucian Examination."

Shen An gave the answer simply. UU Reading www.uukaスshu.net

"The imperial examination is an imperial examination, and ability is based on ability. The imperial examination maintains the Song Dynasty, and miscellaneous studies prosper the Song Dynasty. Each has its own division of labor and there is no conflict."

After Shen An finished speaking, he picked up the book and looked at the data. He felt that the Song Dynasty was gradually showing vitality, which made people feel extremely happy.

Outside, Zhao Shu's words had already caused a lot of waves.

Some people said that the clan would go to cause trouble, but no one was seen.

Some people say that the clan will be in despair, but some people are drinking and having fun and are extremely happy.

"That's a good thing."

Zhao Zong'e raised his wine glass, looked at the butler and said, "Don't be short-sighted, look further."

Good night, please vote!
