A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Bao Zheng couldn't remember how many years he hadn't been to a wine shop to drink. He really couldn't remember.

Ever since his friends gradually distanced themselves, he had been living in isolation, gradually staying away from the hustle and bustle.

In the wine shop, the drinkers were a little timid after seeing Bao Zheng, but Bao Zheng smiled and held his hands in his hands, which made people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

"Is Mr. Bao so kind?"

"Yes! Some people outside say that Prime Minister Bao is so vicious that he can scare people to death. This shows that they are spreading rumors."

"Those are all rumors. Look at Bao's appearance. He smiles so kindly. It makes my heart warm when I see him."

The few drinkers had never been treated so kindly by Zaifu, and they immediately ignored the rumors in the past.

"Get out of the way!"

The shopkeeper of the wine shop pushed the waiter over and came over in person with a towel on his shoulders.

"I've seen Bao Xiang, I've seen Gui Xinhou, I've seen..."

Su Shi felt very embarrassed, lowered his head and said: "A certain Su Shi."

"Su Shi...Isn't that Su Zizhan, the third-level student in the medical department? I've admired him for a long time."

The shopkeeper didn't seem to be a fan of Su Shi, so he dealt with Su Shi, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Bao, please come to the store in person, and this seat will no longer be used by anyone. It will be placed here... for people to admire."

"I'm not dead yet."

The corner of the shopkeeper's mouth twitched and he said with a smile: "Bao Xiangguo is really kind and kind, and the villain is like a spring breeze..."

Shen An was holding back laughter, but finally couldn't hold it back and lowered his head, his body shaking continuously.

Bao Zheng was watching and suddenly stretched out his hand.

"Snapped!"

Shen An covered the back of his head and looked up, looking innocent.

The drinkers and the shopkeeper were dumbfounded.

"This...this is also kind!"

"Yes, yes, you are kind and kind."

This is so kind! It's clearly a fierce spirit.

"But it was your idea?"

Bao Zheng asked murderously.

Su Shi immediately raised his head and said, "Xiang Bao, this is the lower official..."

"I didn't ask you." Bao Zheng probably had itchy hands. As he spoke, he held his generous hands together and rubbed them slowly.

Is this going to take action?

Su Shi shrank his neck, but refused to back down.

"That's what someone did."

"Yes." Shen An raised his head and said, "Your body can't tolerate such long-term stress. It's time to give yourself a holiday."

The official system of the Song Dynasty was very strange. There was a Privy Council and a Third Division, which included many powers and responsibilities, leaving the traditional departments with nothing to do.

This is also a cause of redundant officials, but it is not the main cause.

"Bring me the wine."

Bao Zheng stretched out his hand, and the shopkeeper quickly served drinks.

Bao Zheng drank it all in one gulp, then wiped the wine stains on his beard and said, "I refused to be an official in my early years and refused to lose my official position in my later years. Will it be a joke if I tell you that?"

"No!" Shen An said, "You didn't want to be an official in your early years because your parents were still alive... When your parents were alive, you didn't want to travel far away, even if it was official travel."

Bao Zheng passed the Jinshi examination but did not want to leave his parents to become an official. This is a wonderful thing in the Song Dynasty and an irrefutable proof of a mama's boy.

"You can coax me."

There was more warmth in Bao Zheng's eyes, "Today, the Song Dynasty is booming, how can I leave Sansi and go home to rest?"

"When you didn't go, Sansi didn't stop either."

Shen An's words were a bit excessive, and Su Shi approached him worriedly, ready to block Bao Zheng's possible attack at any time.

But he found the task daunting.

Bao Zheng's attack methods are very broad. It only took half a year to develop from saliva to brush and inkstone, and then to throwing whatever he had on hand.

It’s only half a year!

This shows that the financial pressure of the Song Dynasty could drive Bao Zheng crazy.

Yes, Su Shi thought Bao Zheng was crazy.

"Yes!" Bao Zheng suddenly laughed, and then said to Su Shi: "Young man, don't be slippery, be firm."

Su Shi felt relieved and said: "Xiang Bao, I am not a cunning official. You and Wen Yanbo back then... wu wu wu..."

Shen An covered Su Shi's mouth and smiled apologetically at Bao Zheng: "This man's brain often twitches. It is said to be a childhood problem..."

Bao Zheng smiled and said: "I and Wen Yanbo are good friends, there is no need to hide anything."

He poured himself wine and drank slowly, his expression gradually calming down.

"Everyone is afraid. When I was young, I was afraid of the dark. When I got older, I was afraid of trouble. Later, I was afraid of being alone...so I never left my parents..."

Shen An and Su Shi listened quietly.

This is Bao Zheng’s confession. No, no, no, it’s his summary of his life. You have to listen to it carefully to learn from it.

Bao Zheng finished the wine in the bowl and was about to pour it when a hand stretched out from the side, but it was the shopkeeper.

He smiled and said, "I didn't have any great ambitions when I entered the officialdom. I just wanted to see..."

Just dawdling!

If this word spreads, it will probably cause shock.

Bao Zheng used to be an official just because he wanted to hang out?

I go!

We have all misjudged the wrong person!

"What you say is extremely true. It is much better than those who talk about benevolence, morality, and loyalty."

Su Shi once again burst out with his famous saying, and the shopkeeper nodded in approval: "I agree with what Su Yushi said, Bao Xiang is true."

Bao Zheng smiled and drank another bowl of wine.

This time it was Su Shi who poured wine for him.

"Later..." Bao Zheng said with a look of recollection on his face, "Later, I served as an official for many years. I saw too much about fighting chaos, seeing too much about life and death, wealth and poverty... and then I gradually became numb..."

If an official sees too much of this, he will eventually think that everything is an ant.

"But later... later I saw the domineering Liao people and the arrogance of the Xixia people." Bao Zheng's eyes became stern, "I woke up and was shocked to find that the Song Dynasty was so weak that even Jiaozhi could roar at it ...I finally woke up and know that if the Song Dynasty does not work hard and forge ahead, the tragedy of the Han and Tang Dynasties will happen again..."

He looked at Su Shi and said: "When I said it was your memorial, I thought if An Bei was playing tricks on me, and sure enough, hahahaha!"

Su Shi and Shen An looked at each other and realized that all this was invisible to Lao Bao.

"That's all, Bao Shou has been a bit naughty recently, and I just happened to go home to deal with him."

Bao Zheng stood up and suddenly asked: "That person who said that important ministers will be impeached within ten days is Wu Ji, right?"

"Yes." Su Shi stood up and stood with his hands tied.

Bao Zheng exhaled and moved his waist comfortably, "That person... is too deep and calculating. He is not the material to be an official. He can do business just fine."

puff!

At this time, someone came in from outside. When he saw Bao Zheng, he saluted, "Prime Minister Bao, the imperial doctor has arrived at the house..."

Bao Zheng nodded, "I'll be here soon."

…

Su Shi's eyes squinted as he drank, and his horse snorted all the way. When he arrived outside the censor's stage, the doorman who had been waiting for him turned around and shouted: "Su Shi is back."

Then he came over and diligently helped Su Shi dismount.

"Su Yushi, you can actually drink with Bao Xiang? We at the Yushitai are all envious..."

"Who died?"

Su Shi dismounted unsteadily, and many officials came out, all with smiles.

Su Shi burped and said in a drunken voice, "Who died?"

Those smiles froze on his face, and Menzi quickly explained: "I am jealous of you to death... No, no, no, this little guy's mouth is so jealous."

"I want to die..."

Su Shi cupped his hands at the colleagues who came out and said, "A certain person has ten days off, so it is not considered a violation."

This guy had been thinking about this all the way. Wu Ji came out and said with a smile: "Yes, I promised it myself."

"Shi Yushi..."

Su Shi staggered over and Wu Ji said with a smile: "You impeached Prime Minister Bao, and Prime Minister Bao was magnanimous and even drank with you. Why is that?"

The specific content of Su Shi's impeachment of Bao Zheng was not leaked, so everyone on the censor's stage was itching and waiting for Su Shi's return.

Su Shi burped and said with a smile: "Well... I drank too much and forgot."

Wu Ji smiled and said: "Help Su Shi go in and make tea."

Su Shi was helped in, and Wu Ji turned around with a gloomy expression.

Ma Dan and Bao Zheng didn't find trouble with Su Shi, so Su Shi was successful this time.

He actually succeeded!

Who dares to impeach Bao Zheng these days?

Most of those who were impeached became cannon fodder and were defeated by Bao Zheng's words, but Su Shi succeeded.

This is a huge encouragement to Yushitai and can be regarded as a great achievement.

Su Shi, who had made meritorious service, was obviously accepted by his colleagues.

"Su Shi, I'll treat you to a drink later!"

"It's easy to say...you are not allowed to leave until you are drunk! You are not allowed to come back until you are drunk..." Su Shi relaxed all over, and his colleagues who were supporting him on both sides immediately lifted him up.

It felt so good to walk without feet touching the ground, and Su Shi was very proud.

"Your poems and articles... I actually admire them. It's just that you used to be a bit annoying when you talked, so I couldn't speak well."

"Hahahaha!" Su Shi suddenly laughed and said proudly: "Anbei said that someone's poems can last hundreds of years..."

This is so awesome!

Colleagues were furious with hatred. Yang Jinian, who had remained silent, said: "Su Shi is innocent and does not fake anything."

"Yes! Say what you want, no city, UU reading www.uukanshu.net is much better than those who have to turn several turns in their heads to say a word."

When everyone thought about it, it was true, "I would rather make friends with a real villain than be colleagues with a hypocrite."

Yang Jinian coughed dryly, glanced at Wu Ji and said, "You have to be upright and upright in your work, like Su Shi. It's best to say something. If you have something to say, don't say anything when you are being challenged, and you have to take the bull by the horns. This is responsibility!"

"right!"

Someone catered: "Su Shi is a real person, much better than some people... ugh!"

Damn it!

Everyone was looking at him, and then glanced at Wu Ji, who had a normal expression, thinking that you were just doing a last-ditch attack!

What Yang Jinian said just now was a mockery of Wu Ji, saying that he was doing evil things. If it were Shen An, he would have added two words.

Lao Yin Bi!

Yang Jinian is going crazy!

This old censor, who didn't interact with many people in the censorship station, used to not get involved in these matters at all, but today he made an exception.

Why?

Everyone is not stupid and can guess right away.

Wu Ji was very difficult for Su Shi, but he was still targeting Shen An. Su Shi was unlucky and embarrassed, and Shen An was not far behind.

Are you making things difficult for my son-in-law?

hehe!

Do you think I am an honest person?

Then this honest man will give it to you today.

And I’ll give it to you on the spot.

Where?

Wu Ji's face had nowhere to rest, and he said coldly: "Yang Jinian... what do you mean by this?"

He felt that Yang Jinian would be vague, but Yang Jinian slowly turned around and said numbly: "It's not interesting, it means that the calculation is too boring, and the city is too deep to be boring..."

Damn it!

Yang Jinian really went crazy!

It's scary when an honest person suddenly gets mad.

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

…

The honest man got angry and asked for monthly votes.
