A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1,192 Self-Motivated

The sword light flashed in front of the main hall, and Queen Mother Cao looked a little blurry in the sword light.

Ren Shouzhong stood together with several chamberlains and whispered: "The Empress is coming today, please be careful later...there should be no water stains, otherwise if the Empress's feet slip...whoever is responsible will die!"

"yes."

Ren Shouzhong cunningly took it off himself. The servants dared to be angry but dared not speak.

He smiled, turned his head and saw a chamberlain standing nearby, looking a little anxious, so he waved to him to come over.

But the waiter shook his head and refused to give him face.

Ren Shouzhong was furious, but he was still smiling.

You must learn to hide your true emotions in the palace, otherwise your emotions will kill you one day.

As soon as the sword light was withdrawn, the smile on Ren Shouzhong's face became brighter and he shouted: "Hurry up."

A chamberlain walked over attentively. Empress Dowager Cao threw the long knife over. He carefully caught it and breathed a sigh of relief.

Not many people can do this job, at least Ren Shouzhong doesn't dare to do it.

Someone lifted the vat to receive the knife, and everyone couldn't help but feel relaxed, feeling that they had survived the disaster.

The Empress Dowager Cao was usually fine, but she always wanted the people around her to be somewhat heroic, so she used some tricks overtly and covertly to make them frightened.

Some people practiced hard because of these fears, and Empress Dowager Cao was extremely satisfied with this.

Some people chose to escape, such as Ren Shouzhong, who was afraid that one day he would miss and be chopped into pieces by Queen Mother Cao.

Ren Shouzhong handed over the towel diligently, and Queen Mother Cao took it, looked at him, and said coldly: "From tomorrow onwards, you will practice receiving swords every day..."

"Empress..."

Ren Shouzhong wanted to cry but had no tears and felt that he was dead.

Empress Dowager Cao pointed to the chamberlain, "What's the emergency?"

The chamberlain came forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, earlier... Shen An said in Qingning Palace... that he agreed with the king to follow Han Fei's teachings..."

Queen Mother Cao's eyes were slightly cold, "What do you have to say?"

The chamberlain said: "What are you talking about...the king cannot trust anyone...his wife, children and ministers cannot be trusted..."

Boss, this Shen An is crazy!

Are you not saying that today’s officials should not trust the Queen Mother?

"Mother, my uncle, please see me."

When Cao Yi came, Queen Mother Cao said calmly: "He came quickly."

"Sister..."

When Cao Yi came, the Queen Mother Cao had not changed out of her practice clothes. Cao Yi couldn't help but hesitate, but he remembered Shen An's trouble and had to bite the bullet and come over.

"Sister, Shen An's words must have been provoked. Someone knows his temper. Once provoked, he will dare to say anything."

Empress Dowager Cao did not speak, she stood there with her hands folded, looking at the eaves of the palace in front of her.

Cao Yi raised his head, thinking that you would give me a word!

But Queen Mother Cao remained silent, so he had to bite the bullet and continue: "Han Fei... Han Fei..."

Han Fei's theory had no market in the Song Dynasty, that's for sure.

"He's talking about the emperor." Empress Dowager Cao suddenly spoke.

"Yes." Cao Yan felt depressed, thinking that his eldest sister would definitely be angry.

Empress Dowager Cao said quietly: "When the late emperor was here, do you know who he trusted?"

Cao Yi shook his head, he really didn't know, "Probably... Zaifu?"

Renzong has repeatedly shown his trust in his ministers and ministers, and everyone knows this.

"No, he doesn't believe anyone." Empress Dowager Cao smiled, turned around and said, "Emperors shouldn't trust anyone. Duke Huan of Qi was brave in his early years, which made Qi strong. But in his later years, he trusted treacherous people and eventually fell. Why is this a tragic ending with no one in the palace to care about it?"

Cao Yi lowered his head, "I don't know, little brother."

Empress Dowager Cao sighed: "The emperor cannot be trusted!"

She sighed: "Those people underestimated me and thought I would be furious? Yes, if someone else said this, I would think he was bewitching the prince, and I would go out with a knife to deal with him. But Shen An didn't Yes...I believe him."

Cao Yi was a little confused, and Empress Dowager Cao's eyes became more kind. "You can't trust people. You are talking about the emperor. The emperor is carrying a country on his back, how can you trust people?"

Gao Taotao was very dissatisfied.

Sun Yong's guess was correct.

"Then what does Shen An mean by saying this?"

The weather was cold enough, but the cold air was still whizzing out from the wife's body, which made Zhao Shu unbearable.

He put down the memorial, raised his head and said: "The emperor cannot be trusted... There are three thousand people in the harem, and there are intrigues. If the emperor favors someone, it will be the beginning of disaster. Think of Li Longji of the former Tang Dynasty, think of Han Gaozu of the former Han Dynasty..."

Li Longji doted on Concubine Yang and loved Concubine Yang. Even her clan brother Yang Guozhong was appointed as Prime Minister. It was obvious that he was crazy. In the end, Maweipo's beauty faded and his empire collapsed.

Liu Bang favored Madam Qi in his later years, which caused a dispute between Empress Lu and her. Once Liu Bang died, the Han Dynasty was in chaos.

This is a more euphemistic example. If it is more intense, such as An Lushan, Wu Zetian...

These examples vividly tell the emperor that you can’t trust anyone.

In order to compete for the throne, there were flashes of swords and shadows in the harem, and countless dry bones in the dry wells...

This is the impact of rights.

Zhao Shu knew this very well, but now he could only comfort his wife.

"I'm the only one, how can I not trust you?"

Gao Taotao looked at him and saw that his expression was sincere, so he said gloomily: "That's all, but that kid went too far..."

"Let him go to Jinming Pond to get ice later..."

"Okay." Gao Taotao was just happy when he remembered the wheel saw Shen An had made and couldn't help but smile.

"The official is just perfunctory with his concubine."

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "Yes, but I forgot."

He stood up and walked over, Gao Taotao snuggled next to him, and whispered: "That boy's words really make me want to beat him."

An emperor cannot trust his wife and children. Han Fei's words are so irritating.

Zhao Shu said: "When you are in charge of such a huge country, personal relationships can only come later. You have to understand..."

Gao Taotao nodded.

Sun Yong was waiting for the news in Qingning Palace.

"soon."

Several colleagues were drinking tea together. The cold wind was blowing outside, but the room was warm due to the presence of the charcoal basin. Taking a sip of hot tea, it felt like a fairy.

A colleague pointed to the right and said: "That man is still talking to the king, which shows that he is determined to go against us."

Sun Yong snorted coldly, touched the teacup, and said: "If the Queen Mother doesn't care, the saint will definitely be angry, and the officials will also be furious because of this. Just wait and see, he will be unlucky."

"Today!" A colleague put down his teacup and said with a smile: "The official and the saint are deeply in love, but now there is not a single concubine in the palace. How can such deep love tolerate Shen An's blasphemy? What kind of king can't trust his wife and children? , If he is not unlucky, who is?"

Several officials chuckled, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

"Someone is coming from the palace!"

Qingning Palace is also a palace, but relatively independent.

Sun Yong stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go and see. During this trip to Daming Mansion, he slapped all the officials in the world. Today we will see how unlucky he is."

Shen An killed thirty officials and grain merchants in Daming Mansion. After the news spread, the world was shocked.

As an official, Shen An's actions were a threat to himself, throwing the unspoken rule of not killing scholar-bureaucrats into the garbage. Such behavior made many officials regard Shen An as their enemy.

"Let's go together."

When everyone left the room, they saw Chen Zhongheng.

"Chen Zhongheng is here in person. It seems that the officials are going to take heavy action."

Everyone saluted, and then Shen An and Zhao Xu came out.

Chen Zhongheng said with a straight face: "The official said that Shen An made rude remarks and deserves to be punished. Then go to Jinming Pond and get a hundred pieces of ice. You must not miss one."

"yes."

Shen An moved his body and came closer and said: "Old Chen, last time we made three hundred yuan, you had a sore back and back. It shows that you lacked practice. How are you now?"

Chen Zhongheng glanced at Sun Yong and others beside him and said, "I often run around and get ice cubes now. It's just a trivial matter."

He smiled and said, "You can go here later, I'm going back."

"Chen Douzhi..."

Sun Yong suddenly stopped Chen Zhongheng and asked: "Is this what the official said?"

Who doesn't know that Shen An has made a wheel saw, and it is said that he can cut ice as fast as lightning. The people in the ice well department now regard Shen An as the ancestor, and they offer incense and other things every now and then, and they are very pious.

Is this called punishment?

Chen Zhongheng said coldly: "That's all."

He walked away. Sun Yong and others looked extremely ugly, but Shen An refused to let them go, so he said to Zhao Xu: "Han Fei said that if there are many corvees, the people will suffer, and if the people suffer, the power will rise, and if the power rises, they will be eliminated. If you are heavy, if you eliminate the heavy, you will make the noble rich. The poor people will be rich and noble, and the power will be borrowed from others. This is not the best way to benefit the world! This is a great saying, you can think about it carefully. "

The meaning of Han Fei's words is: When the people's lives are difficult, the power of the powerful and gentry will take advantage of the situation to expand. As their power expands and their wealth increases, they will be very harmful to the king and the country. To make the people live a good life, the power of the powerful and gentry will weaken, and then the king will take advantage of the situation and destroy them.

Did you see it? What is Han Fei’s point of view?

Suppress the powerful and wealthy gentry and let the people live a good life!

The people's lives will be better, and the king's status and country will surely be as stable as Mount Tai.

Shen An is quite convinced by this theory. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net and Zhao Xu’s subsequent innovations have traces of Legalism.

Sun Yong said angrily: "If I don't believe it, I'm going to see the official!"

Zhao Xu looked at Shen An worriedly.

He was not the only one who invited Zhao Shu. When Shen An went there, he saw dozens of people standing in the hall.

"Your Majesty, Shen An used Han Fei's words to confuse the king, and I think he should be severely punished."

Sun Yong came forward, and then more than ten people came out to impeach Shen An.

For a moment, Shen An seemed to be in a huge wave, looking as if he was in danger.

Everyone is waiting for Zhao Shu's decision.

Shen An was very calm, quite calm. Those people felt that he was forcing himself to be calm.

Zhao Shu glanced at Shen An and said calmly: "There are no complaints in the harem, where is the Prime Minister?"

Han Qi left work, "I have no complaints."

Damn it!

Those people were dumbfounded in an instant.

What do Zhao Shu's words mean?

Neither the queen nor the queen mother had any objections to Shen An's words, and so did the ministers and ministers. Everyone felt that if the emperor didn't trust people, then he shouldn't trust them. It was no big deal.

You are being overly sentimental.

These people turned red instantly.

Self-indulgent...

I’m too embarrassed to see anyone!
