Song Menghua: At the beginning, ask to marry Sheng Minglan

His smooth career in official career was almost as if he was cheating.

young age.

His father is his official guide, no matter where he takes office, he will take him with him, teaching by precept and example.

youth.

His father died, but his father's best friend, the Grand Master Pang Ji who was discredited and misunderstood by later generations, protected him all the way as if he was his own.

Especially during Pang Ji's period of managing the Northwest, he accumulated strong political capital for him.

Notice.

During the reign of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, almost all the ministers had experience in managing the frontier army.

Like Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo, they went to Liao many times as envoys.

Not to mention Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi, they all got enough qualifications from the Northwest.

Although Sima Guang suffered a defeat last year, he was disheartened.

But under the protection of Pang Ji, he not only retreated completely, but also won the approval of the court by virtue of clearing the wall and building a wide range of fortresses.

Such a person can definitely be called the chosen one.

……

Qi Heng stood up, smiled sincerely: "Master Sima's name is like thunder."

"When I was seven years old, I smashed the cylinder to save my friends, and caused a sensation in Jingluo."

"At the age of 12, he was famous all over the world for holding a sword and cutting pythons."

"Today, the real person is near, and Sansheng is really lucky."

——The 12-year-old Zhan Bog here refers to his youth, when he rushed to Lizhou with his father Sima Chi to take office, and encountered a giant python on the plank road. He was calm and calm, and cut the giant python into the abyss with one sword.

These are all well-known celebrity anecdotes in the world.

Sima Guang also stood up.

He smiled brightly.

"To get you Qi Yuanruo's three lives is lucky, the old man is really lucky."

"In the northwest, Di Hanchen almost regards you as a model of literati in the world."

"To Bianjing, wherever you go, there are so many things from ancient and modern times, and they are all jokes."

"Even if he came to Zhang Xiang's place today, he is full of praise for your essay."

"Compared to you, the old man's affairs are nothing more than trivial matters."

In the Song Dynasty, when men called themselves old man, it didn't mean how old they were, but a more free and easy way to call themselves, modestly.

For example, Su Shi's sentence-the old man is talking about being a teenager, left Qing Cang, right lead yellow.

He was only forty when he wrote this poem.

"okay."

"Stop flattering each other, both of you, and sit down quickly."

"It's rare for the two of you to visit on the same day. My family is truly lucky."

Zhang Fangping laughed, and used two truths in a row, which showed his joy and annoyance.

Sima Guang and Qi Heng looked at each other and smiled before taking their seats.

Immediately.

Zhang Fangping looked at Qi Heng first, and then said to Sima Guang, "It's just right, you can continue the topic just now."

"He was the first to propose the rectification of the forbidden army."

"I think he is also interested in hearing about the situation of the Northwest Frontier Army."

original.

Before Qi Heng came, the topic of discussion between Sima Guang and Zhang Fangping was the rectification of the frontier army.

This is also normal.

Sima Guang returned to Beijing to report on his duties this time, both in public and privately, it was necessary for him to come to see the current Privy Envoy Zhang Fangping first.

Not only recounting the past on behalf of Pang Ji, but also reporting back to the official affairs of the frontier army.

This in itself is the scope of the Xifu's responsibility.

"When I saw Qi Yuanruo, I was so carried away that I didn't know what to say."

"Simply, I'll start from the beginning."

Sima Guang cupped his hands and smiled.

Of course, he didn't forget where to say it, but just to take care of Qi Heng later, he said it from the beginning.

"Three months ago."

"When the envoy of the Army Reorganization Division brought various government orders for the entire army, when he first arrived in the northwest, everything must have gone wrong."

"At that time, everyone in the army thought that the court was going to attack the warriors again."

"Their resistance was particularly evident."

"Especially when I heard that the rectification was first initiated by the Duke of Qi's Young Master Qi."

"They often yelled at him, calling him a traitor to the rich and powerful, white-eyed wolf and so on."

"Even Di Hanchen couldn't understand."

"later."

"Di Hanchen went to ask Prime Minister Pang, why is Young Master Qi like this?"

"Pang Xiang explained to him in detail."

"It is said that the reason why court officials look down on warriors is precisely because warriors don't know how to love themselves."

"They are greedy for ink, lawless, serve as soldiers and eat food, and don't think about serving the country. The atmosphere in the army is extremely corrupt."

"Young Lord Qi's move—"

"It seems to be taking the forbidden army, but it is actually reshaping the forbidden army and rectifying the name of the warrior."

"Notice."

"Since ancient times, one has to be upright and strong."

"Only when a warrior walks upright and sits upright, so that the court can find no faults, then the warriors of the world can hold their chests high and stand upright."

"Pang Xiang's words... made Di Hanchen silent for a long time."

"after that."

"With Pang Xiang and Di Hanchen joining forces to rectify the frontier army, the momentum is like a broken bamboo."

What Qi Heng heard was mixed.

So you really can't underestimate the famous ministers of this era.

As far as Pang Ji's words of persuasion to Di Qing are concerned, what's wrong is the reprint of his words of persuasion to the Duke of England?

His original intention, intention——

The gang of famous officials in the Song Dynasty saw it clearly.

It's just that they have had enough of Da Song's repeated battles and defeats, and they really want the Forbidden Army to become stronger, and Da Song become stronger, so they still agree with his rectification of the Forbidden Army when they know that he has selfish intentions.

Zhang Fangping was very interested.

"So simple?"

"Even if Pang Xiang and Di Hanchen suppressed it, is it true that there is no one in the army who strongly opposes it?"

"For example, he... Zhong Shiheng?"

Speaking of Zhong Shiheng.

He was the only forbidden army capable of fighting in the late Northern Song Dynasty, the founder of the Zhongjia Army.

It was also Zhong Shiheng's lifelong management that led to the later famous teachers of the species, Mr. Zhong of the big species, Mr. Mr. of the small species and others.

Sima Guang shook his head slightly.

"Chong Shiheng is still able to distinguish between right and wrong in this matter."

"of course."

"Not everyone is like Di Hanchen and Zhong Shiheng."

"There are also some powerful children in the frontier army. They work together to resist the rectification."

"However, since the imperial court has not issued an order for a long time, how to deal with these powerful children... General Di and Prime Minister Pang are also difficult to deal with."

"So there's nothing I can do."

"General Di and Pang Xiang simply made a decision—"

"All those who do not cooperate and resist rectification are rotated to the most dangerous frontline."

"That's it."

"Ah……"

Speaking of later, Sima Guang made no secret of his ridicule and disdain for those powerful generals.

As generals, sending them to the forefront is the punishment they fear most.

They had the courage to resist the rectification of the court, but they did not have the courage to go to the front line.

If this is not the sorrow of Song Dynasty, what is it?

Zhang Fangping smiled indifferently.

He has long been used to these situations.

Otherwise, why did Song Dynasty lose in a row?
