A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Zhao Shu thought about it for a long time. He thought about it from the perspective of the court.

Han Qi is an outstanding person. With him around, countless attacks will be filtered out or deflected.

It is lucky for the emperor to have such a character in Zaifu.

The only thing Zhao Shu has to worry about is who can take on this role after Han Qi.

The emperor cannot face the attack directly. This is not because he is afraid or helpless, but because his majesty cannot be violated.

So who is the next winner?

Zhao Shu was a little worried about this issue.

But Han Qi was in grief and anger. He felt that his label as a powerful minister could no longer be washed away.

Moreover, Zhao Shu is an emperor, he cannot regret what he said, and Han Qi cannot ask him to regret it.

What to do?

My reputation is going to be ruined, what should I do?

And Zhao Shu was also a little confused.

He felt that his words would make people think, and it would be very troublesome if someone took the opportunity to attack Han Qi.

"Ahem!"

At this time, Shen An came out and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Han has worked hard over the years and has been well-known throughout the Song Dynasty. But there are always some people who don't do things, and they don't want to see others doing things. They like to impeach those officials who do things, such as Han Mutually……"

Old man, you are so interesting!

At this moment, Han Qi was moved and felt that Shen An was his confidant.

Shen An continued: "There is a huge power behind those people. Prime Minister Han... I must be honest, but his power is far inferior to those people. It's just that you are intimidating them, so those people don't dare to act recklessly..."

These words flattered Zhao Shu and helped Han Qi to rescue him. It was really wonderful.

Han Qi was grateful, and Zhao Shu was pleased. Shen An's method of killing two birds with one stone made Bao Zheng smile and stroke his beard. He felt that his teaching was really effective, turning a dull boy like Shen An into such a smart official.

Shen An changed the topic and said, "Your Majesty, to deal with those people, you have to be tough like Prime Minister Han. The tougher, the better."

If these words get out, 'those people' will hate Shen An to the bone.

"Those people have no Song Dynasty and no country in their eyes. They keep shouting something... I am loyal to the Song Dynasty. I am a learned man... but what I do has nothing to do with these. I would like to say something boldly here. , these people are all bugs, harmful to the Song Dynasty. If we can destroy them, at least we can save food."

Damn it!

Zhao Xu, who was listening to the government, saw Han Qi covering his face, as if he was moved, but looking carefully from his angle, Han Qi seemed to be smiling bitterly.

What the hell...I am not as courageous as Shen An!

Han Qi is just fierce, but Shen An likes to fire map cannons, and those with vested interests will be devastated by the bombardment.

The officials won't be angry, right?

Zhao Shu was not angry, but felt somewhat relieved.

After Han Qi there is Bao Zheng, and after Bao Zheng there is Shen An?

There will never be a shortage of provocateurs and trolls in the Song Dynasty, I feel relieved.

When he was in a good mood, Zhao Shu felt that all the ministers were pretty and handsome, and he said with a smile: "People say that Lian Po is old, and he can still make a living. Bao Qing is still in charge of the third division at the age of more than sixty. I think it will become a good story in the future. I I see that you are in high spirits and are stronger than many young people. Is it possible that you can ride a horse?"

The implication in these words could not be more obvious.

——Old Bao, can you set off again?

Bao Zheng's mood was agitated, and he bowed and said: "I will not give up even if I die!"

Your Majesty thinks highly of me, what a favor it is!

At this moment, Bao Zheng's eyes were moist, and in Zhao Shu's eyes, this was loyalty.

"Bao Qing...called the imperial doctor to come and take a look at Bao Qing."

Zhao Shu's words made Bao Zheng choke and kneel down, "Your Majesty is so kind to me, how can I repay you!"

This is indeed a generous favor that ordinary people cannot enjoy.

During the Qin Dynasty, Wang Jian wrote memorials from time to time after setting off, asking for various benefits from the First Emperor to reassure him.

But Zhao Shu and Bao Zheng made it much simpler. One of them asked the imperial doctor to come and take a look at the minister's health and take precautions. A tearful thank you...

Zhao Shu showed his kindness and Bao Zheng thanked him, thus completing the preparations before departure.

Shen An was thinking about how to suggest to Bao Zheng that Cao Yi should go with him and put away the Han sword.

"This time I go out...Cao Yan has made great progress, so let's go with him."

Empress Dowager Cao was so knowledgeable that Zhao Shu was very satisfied, so he rewarded her.

Shen An was startled, and then felt a little ridiculous.

I don't need to contribute to the co-authorship, so this thing is done?

He was a little guilty, but his faith was firm.

Brother Han Jian will never give it back.

Zhao Shu saw that he was in a trance, so he frowned and said, "What is Shen An thinking about?"

"I am thinking about how to deal with the Liao people."

Shen An is an expert in diplomacy. When Zhao Shu heard this, he asked, "What do you think?"

Shen An smiled and said: "I think that when dealing with them, the first thing is to be shameless. The second thing is to dare to fight hard."

Zhao Shu nodded and said: "Shameless... If you dare to risk your life, you are right."

Han Qi could not go, and Zeng Gongliang was in a good mood, so he praised: "Liao people are shameless. If we care about this and that, they will take advantage, so it is better to be shameless. As for daring to fight...Liao people like to scare People like to act aggressive, but if they act aggressively, they may endanger their lives, so we cannot feel guilty."

"This is exactly the truth." Zhao Shu said: "Shen An is accomplished in foreign affairs. If I go with him this time, I am very optimistic about Bao Qing..."

"yes."

"Don't act recklessly."

"yes."

At this moment, Shen An was as honest as a quail. Zhao Shu said with a smile: "It's rare to be so honest. That's it, everyone goes about their business."

The ministers dispersed, but Zhao Xu was left behind.

Chen Zhongheng handed over a cup of tea, Zhao Shu took it and took a sip and asked: "Why should Bao Zheng go instead of Han Qi?"

This is a test, followed by instruction.

Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "The government needs people to control the overall situation. Zeng Gongliang is unstable, Ouyang Xiu cannot, and Han Qi is the best."

It is very important that Han Qi can grasp the overall situation and have the ability of a prime minister.

Zhao Shu nodded and said with satisfaction: "This is just one of them. How to balance government affairs is a science. Why should I let Bao Zheng go to the north?"

"Meritorious service?" Zhao Xu responded quickly.

"That's right." Zhao Shu said happily: "Let him perform meritorious service and see when he comes back. If necessary... there should be some new faces in the political hall."

Bao Zheng is going to be prosperous!

As long as he can properly handle matters in the north this time, his return will be a great achievement.

And Zhao Shu was probably planning to use this great achievement to get him into the political hall.

Knew it! Emperors are all kind-hearted.

Zhao Xu accepted the instruction.

Seeing his respect, Zhao Shu smiled and said, "You have also improved a lot. It is very rare for Shen An to be so honest today..."

Zhao Xu laughed in his heart, feeling that his father might have been confused by Shen An.

Chen Zhongheng beside him couldn't bear it anymore and whispered: "The official family will be outside!"

"Huh?" Zhao Shu was startled, then smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, after arriving in the north, unless Bao Zheng is willing to restrain him, Shen An will be a monkey out of the cage. I am afraid he will jump up and down and become lawless!"

He recalled for a while and said: "He has left Jingguan in Jiaozhi and the north before. This time when he goes to the north, the Liao people will definitely confront him tit for tat... Will he be timid when the Liao people have a large army?"

"As an official, he has never been afraid of this."

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "He will be afraid of his sister crying, and he will be afraid of his son howling, but he is not afraid of the Liao and Xixia people."

"Then I have to look forward to seeing how he and the Liao people will compete with each other."

Zhao Shu took a sip of tea and said happily: "Tomorrow the Wan Sheng Army will perform martial arts. Let's see what the Song Dynasty's army looks like today. It's so powerful..."

…

Shen An was fighting wits and courage at this moment.

Outside the imperial city, Cao Yi, who had been waiting, saw Shen An coming out, so he stepped forward and asked, "An Bei, who is going this time? Is it done?"

"It's Prime Minister Bao." Shen An nodded and said, "Don't worry about what I'm doing."

"It actually happened?"

Cao Yi said excitedly: "Thank you An Bei, thank you very much."

The last time he went to the northwest with him, he was just a soy sauce guy and had no subordinates. But this time it was different. Zhao Shu had made a statement before, saying that he, Cao Yi, could lead the army in the war, so this was the opportunity to make good on it.

He looked up at Shen An and said gratefully: "The Cao family had a quarrel with you back then, and almost cheated you, but you didn't hold grudges... I think even the Prime Minister can do this with such a big heart..."

"Quack!"

An old bird flew through the sky and called twice. Someone on the side said: "Why did this crow fly into the palace?"

Shen An said with some regret: "It's just a trivial matter. Uncle Guo, hurry home and prepare. Later, we brothers will go on an expedition together."

"good!"

Cao Yi held up his hands, watched Shen An leave, and then sighed: "Brothers like these can only be met by good luck. UU Reading www.uukansｈhu.net It's so rare!"

"Uncle!"

At this time Bao Zheng came out. Judging from his glowing face, he must have received good news from the imperial doctor.

"I've seen Mr. Bao."

Bao Zheng is the big boss of this trip, so Cao Yi naturally needs to be more respectful.

Bao Zheng said with a straight face: "This trip is important. You must obey orders and don't make your own decisions..."

"yes."

Cao Yi's attitude was very honest.

When Bao Zheng saw that he was honest, he said happily: "The official said that you should follow him to the north..."

Cao Yi didn't listen to what he said next. He murmured: "Did the official ask someone to go?"

Bao Zheng frowned and said, "Of course it's an official family."

This uncle seems a little stupid!

Bao Zheng was wary and decided to observe Cao Yi carefully on the road. If he felt incompetent, he would find a small job for him to do and restrain him.

He didn't lack such means, but after he thought of a way, he found that Cao Yi had a look of sorrow and indignation on his face, so he asked: "But you don't want to go? If you don't want to just say it, I will talk to the officials later and put you Stay in Beijing.”

"But so-and-so is willing to go."

Cao Yan said sadly and angrily: "Prime Minister Bao, Shen An cheated on a certain sword."

Bao Zheng hated it when people spoke ill of Shen An, so he said displeasedly: "It's just a sword. Shen An's family is full of swords. I'm afraid you may have misunderstood."

In his opinion, Shen An would not lie.

Cao Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Xiang Bao, that is an ancestral Han sword...it can be called a treasure!"

"What kind of treasure?" Bao Zheng waved his sleeves and said, "Swords are used to kill people, so what kind of treasure are they?"

I!

Cao Yi was speechless. He wanted to teach Bao Zheng some knowledge about collecting swords, but Bao Zheng didn't have the time in Bianliang, so he handed over Wei Wei and left.

"Shen An! You liar!"

Cao Yan cried out sadly, and then went to find Shen An to settle the score.
