A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 936: Incredible Contribution

"The danger comes from the north and the northwest!"

"The Song Dynasty must train its troops and develop elite troops so that it can resist the enemy."

"With such an army, even if the Liao people are weakened to the limit, they can still take care of us."

"We need to train our troops! We need to pay attention to warriors!"

No one listened to Shen Bian's cry back then. He was like a lonely cavalry attacking a giant, lonely and desperate.

When he disappeared in the north, almost no one paid attention to the news, just like a master diving into the water without any splash.

…

After the Chanyuan Alliance, the Song Dynasty fell into the illusion of peace until Xixia, the traitor, raised the flag of rebellion.

If you rebel, what else do you want? beat him.

But in the end, Song Dynasty was beaten so hard by Xixia that he almost couldn't take care of himself.

Logically speaking, at this time, the Song Dynasty should pay attention to its opponents and prepare for war, right?

You are too naive, and you are not.

After achieving peace with Xixia, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty fell into a long period of inactivity.

They have no goals...what the hell are goals? We just live our lives and don't care about anything.

They are insensitive... After the failure of the Qingli New Deal, the court of the Song Dynasty was a pool of stagnant water. Apart from the competition for official positions, there was no trace of fresh breath.

At this point, Shen An arrived.

He just mixed it all the way, and slowly he got a lot of results.

Xixia people have always felt that they are flat-headed brothers and no one can deal with them. Even if they are as powerful as the Liao Kingdom, they still have to bow before the Xixia people who are not afraid of death.

Then they were beaten violently several times by Da Song, and they were shocked to find that their limp father had changed.

Did you agree to be a coward for the rest of your life?

Why have you changed?

In front of the huge crossbow formation composed of Shenwei crossbows, the Xixia people's heads were bruised and bloody after the collision.

In the smoke of gunpowder, the Liao people were caught off guard and their heavy cavalry became chaotic...

This Song Dynasty... is so awesome!

Zhao Shu thought about Shen Bian with some leisurely fascination.

What is that person like?

He must have a straight face and a thin face, and his eyes are always full of anger.

Also roars.

At this moment, Zhao Shu thought of Bao Zheng.

"Your Majesty, do you think... we should take the opportunity to beat the Xixia people? We won't let them despair, so we can seize some territory back, such as Suizhou..."

Zeng Gongliang thought about it all night, drooling at those places in front of the map. He felt that it would be a good thing for the Song Dynasty to take advantage of the situation and take back a few cities.

By the way, he also wanted Zhao Shu to see that he was not a pedantic person. From now on, Han Qi...

Lao Han has been the prime minister for a long time. According to the late emperor's unspoken rules, he should be prepared to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his post. Otherwise, it will be either Hetu or Luoshu... and you will not be able to live a peaceful life.

He felt that his ability was good, and his relationship with the officials was also good, and the monarch and his subjects were happy.

"No money!"

But Bao Zheng, like an old man who discovered his child's puppy love, suddenly broke in and slapped Zeng Gongliang's thoughts away.

"The drought around Bianliang has used up all the money and food of the three divisions. If there is a war against Xixia, Prime Minister Zeng should pay for it himself. Remember, the salary of the prime minister is not low. I think Zeng Xiang can lead the army to destroy the Xixia rebels."

Zeng Gongliang's face turned green.

What are you talking about, Bao Zheng?

The salary of the Prime Minister is used to support the army...it can support at most a hundred or ten sergeants, and then you ask me to take these hundreds of sergeants to fight against Xixia...

When I think about it, I feel that the picture is too beautiful and I dare not look at it.

"It won't take much!" Zeng Gongliang's retort looked righteous, but deep down he still felt that Han was about to step down, so he wanted to show off.

Han Qi has been in the center for eight years since he served as the third envoy in the first year of Jiayou.

Eight years!

Han Qi has been in the center for eight years.

The meeting ended silently, and Shen An and Bao Zheng went out together.

"Han Qi has been at the Central Center for eight years. He is domineering, but there is a nice word for domineering. Do you know?"

Bao Zheng was kind-hearted at the moment, but he didn't look as ferocious as he had just scolded Zeng Gongliang.

"No scheming, no city." Shen An felt that Bao Zheng had been watching with a cold eye, but he didn't end up. This made people a little anxious.

"Yes, that's the saying." Bao Zheng sighed: "Everyone has his own temperament, and if he seizes it, it will be an opportunity. That's how he, Han Zhigui, came to be domineering. His colleagues thought he was domineering, but Shangguan and the emperor felt that he had no Only such ministers dare to use it in the city government."

Bao Zheng's views hit the nail on the head, and even Shen An was deeply inspired.

"It's just that he has been in the center for too long, a rare period of time." Bao Zheng sighed: "I estimate that Your Majesty will hint that he should get out."

"No." Shen An felt that Bao Zheng had seen through Han Qi, but he didn't understand Zhao Shu at all.

"Why not?" Bao Zheng said dissatisfied: "What do you know? I have eaten more salt than you have eaten, and I have walked on more bridges than you have walked. Be humble and don't There's no good in trying to be clever..."

Shen An listened to his teachings with a frown on her face, feeling that all the old people in the world have similar virtues. They all like to use their age to suppress their younger generations first, and then teach you sincerely.

"...I think Han Qi is actually a bit smart, but it's a human fault not to stay in love, and Han Qi is also indispensable. But with Wen Yanbo's car in front of him, his life is not easy, well... let's see if it can be done , let Su Shi also impeach him, there will be many benefits."

The essence of the censor is to admonish and impeach, in other words, to criticize.

The job of a troll is actually very suitable for Su Dazui, but this guy's emotional intelligence is worrying. If he gets involved, Shen An is afraid that he will be cannon fodder.

"Bao Gong, what are the benefits?" Bao Zheng once served as the censor Zhongcheng. He has a deep understanding of the censor's comings and goings and can be called an expert, so Shen An is ready to listen to his opinion and go back to analyze it with Su Shi.

This gesture was very good, and made Bao Zheng stroke his beard happily and said: "Whether he impeaches Han Qi or not, he will be kicked out of the capital and serve as an official in those remote places..."

Mr. Bao...is this a good thing?

Shen An was worried that Bao Zheng might have some... that... Alzheimer's disease that he didn't dare to say.

If he says anything, Mr. Bao, are you suffering from dementia? Guaranteed to be chased out of Bianliang City.

Su Shi is very optimistic, but what about Su Xun?

What would Su Xun do if he was so angry?

Nowadays, Su Xun leads a very peaceful life. While compiling books, he does not forget about the development of the literary world. He attends humanities meetings every now and then, and poems and articles often come out.

He has given up the idea of promotion, and is only waiting for his two genius sons to succeed.

Among them, Su Zhe has no hope. This angry young man is too impulsive. According to everyone's consensus, this person needs to be sharpened until he is about forty years old before he can be used.

But how old is Su Zhe?

So the boss Su Shi became Su Xun's whole hope.

But Su Shi is not reliable either!

This guy is from all over the world, but he has a clear distinction between love and hate. From then on, he fought in all directions and was awesome.

First, he looked down on the reformists, so he criticized Wang Anshi's New Deal. He was driven away and almost killed.

After Wang Anshi stepped down, Su Shi couldn't stand the obscene behavior of the conservatives, so he criticized them again and was driven away again.

How can we expect such a person to be successful?

Bao Zheng said happily: "When the time comes, I can work in the local area for a few years or even more than ten years. After I come back, I will be famous, get promoted and make a fortune... Well..."

Bao Zheng glared at Shen An, and Shen An said in surprise: "What did you say just now? I didn't pay attention."

Bao Zheng continued with satisfaction: "When the time comes, let him do something in the local area, such as encouraging farming and teaching... After a few years, you build momentum for him in the capital, and then he will become a famous official... Do you understand? "

"Understood." Isn't this a variant of traffic-boosting methods in later generations? Shen An understands it all too well.

Encouraging farming and teaching, this was a gesture, and then Shen An led a group of fools in the capital to shout 666 for Su Shi. The shouting was so overwhelming that he even paid people to hire people to shout it together...

As soon as he shouted, Su Shi gradually became a famous official.

Bao Zheng said earnestly: "This is raising hope, do you understand?"

When he spoke, he looked left and right first to make sure no one could hear him before speaking. This shows that this is a secret that is not told.

Shen An was moved.

"Yes, I'll have someone brush you up later..."

Uh, wrong.

"What's a wave?" Bao Zheng asked in confusion.

"Shen An!"

Just when Han Qi called him from behind, Shen Anru said with amnesty: "I will pass now."

"Go." Bao Zheng waved his hand, feeling that Shen An was a little weird.

"What's the brush?"

He shook his head, thinking whether his son would break his precious inkstone today, and couldn't help but smile warmly.

Shen An stopped where he was and waited for Han Qi to come over before walking side by side.

Han Qi looked at him kindly...

Why is it like this today?

Shen An looked back, and so did Zeng Gongliang and Ouyang Xiu.

He gradually gained some understanding.

Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away.

Everyone thought it was time for Old Han to get out, so they pretended to be charitable before biting him.

This one is like the monster in Journey to the West. Before he eats people, he is either a beautiful woman or a handsome man.

It can be seen that it is the same routine at all times and in all countries.

Han Qi said disdainfully: "I am in July."

What?

Shen An asked: "In July...are you going to get married?"

Isn’t this long overdue?

Han Qi said with a black line on his head: "July is the day when I enter the center."

"Oh." You should have said it earlier! He also said it so ambiguously, what about this July day, am I getting married or am I about to burp?

Han Qi sneered and said: "I originally wanted to go to the memorial service, but some people always think that I am a weak person, so let's give it a try and see if I will back down."

Well!

Old Han is so strong?

Shen An looked back and saw the annoyance on Zeng Gongliang's face.

Is Lao Zeng’s intestines full of regret?

When Shen An was in the northwest, there was an undercurrent in the court, which was directed at Han Qi.

Those memorials all imply that Han Qi has been in power for many years and should he get out and give his talents to others.

There must be big bosses behind these people, and Zeng Gongliang must be one of them.

But no one expected that Han Qi would be so strong.

According to his nature, this shouldn't be a lie. In other words, Lao Han wanted to escape, but because this wave of attacks angered him, so...

"I'm not leaving."

Zeng Gong's bright face was as gray as death.

Damn, you should have told me earlier!
