A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1,217 Su Shi Was a Blessing in Disguise

The Yushitai was very lively, and the officials were having heated discussions.

"The fight between Xixia envoys and Liao envoys was clearly an internal conflict and had little impact on the relationship between the two countries."

The fight between the envoys was just a scandal and had little impact on the relations between the two countries.

"But three people have broken legs and one person is unconscious!"

"So what? They are just followers, but the envoys from the two countries are just bruised and swollen, which shows that they have a sense of propriety."

Yang Jinian stood aside and said nothing, thinking that taro was getting more and more cute now, so he went back to Yulin Lane to have a look.

Someone couldn't see that he was free, so he asked, "What does Yang Yushi think of this matter?"

Yang Jinian shook his head and said, "I don't know."

This matter involves Shen An, and he refuses to express his position. This is due to caution.

The censor smiled and said: "It is said that the Xixia envoy sent gifts to the Shen family. Does Yang Censor know?"

Yang Jinian's cheek twitched, of course he knew this.

"Yang Yushi... Your son-in-law is the richest man in the Song Dynasty, but someone once heard something that people are inherently greedy, and their greed is endless. Even though they have a lot of wealth, they still reach out for those small coins. What is this... locust's You can even scrape a layer of oil off your legs..."

This was an attack on Shen An. Yang Jinian said coldly: "What do you want to say?"

If you attack my son-in-law in front of me, don't you think that I am a dead person?

The censor smiled and said, "It's true that Shen An took the money. Can't you say that?"

Yang Jinian sneered: "Then you dare to make a bet with me? If Shen An didn't take bribes, what would you do?"

The censor hesitated, and everyone started to boo.

This means that those who watch the excitement are not too big a deal.

The censor gritted his teeth and said: "If that's the case, I would apologize in public. But if he didn't retreat...that's not right!"

The censor suddenly slapped his head: "The news has reached us, and Shen An would be a fool if he didn't retreat."

Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter, and some people looked at Yang Jinian with something wrong in their eyes.

This Yang Jinian looked so discreet, but he almost tricked someone just now.

"Su Shi is here."

The great talents from Yushitai are here.

"Su Shi, the envoys of the two countries were fighting. What do you think of this matter?" someone asked Su Shi.

Su Shi frowned, pretending to be deep in thought, and then said seriously: "The Liao people were first abolished by the Song Dynasty. This was a great loss and a great humiliation. But the Xixia people are turning their backs now. This is taking advantage of the situation. The Liao people have been domineering for hundreds of years. How can it be tolerated? I dare to assert that the alliance between the two countries will inevitably be in vain."

Someone said: "Isn't your statement too absolute?"

Su Shi sighed: "In the past six months, I have been thinking about the affairs between the Song Dynasty, Liao Kingdom and Xixia. I have spent so much time forgetting to eat and sleep because of this, and I am not satisfied with the food! If I talk about my understanding of this matter, I dare to say that no one in Yushitai can match me!"

Su Shi had a forthright temperament, so he could say such words.

The officials suddenly looked confused.

Damn it!

Does Su Shi mean that no one from Yushitai can compare with him?

Yang Jinian walked to Su Shi's side and whispered: "Don't just talk."

Su Shi's big mouth was already known to Yang Jinian. Seeing him sweeping away his colleagues from the Yushitai with a bamboo pole, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that sooner or later, this guy would be unlucky because of his big mouth.

Su Shi suppressed his pride and whispered: "I just met An Bei..."

Yang Jinian felt relieved, nodded slightly, and then returned with his hands behind his back.

He walked slowly to the bottom of the steps, then jumped up with a slight jump.

"Su Shi is talking big!"

"That's right, what does he know about diplomacy? It's just nonsense."

Su Shi had a bold personality and could chat with anyone. Gradually, everyone discovered that this guy had a bad mouth and dared to say anything unreliable.

So after a burst of laughter, everyone dispersed.

"Bright spring and white snow!"

Su Shi shook his head, feeling very lonely.

"The Liao envoy has returned!"

A clerk rushed in and shouted happily: "The Liao envoy was outside the post house, vowing to make the Song and Xixia people look good, and then he went back with his people."

The officials who had just reached their duty rooms slowly turned around and looked at Su Shi with changed eyes.

Could this man be a god?

"Isn't he going to attend the meeting?"

The purpose of the Liao envoy coming here was to attend the New Year's meeting and congratulate the Song Dynasty on the New Year.

Now that the New Year is coming soon, he is gone?

what does this mean?

Everyone knew what it meant, but they couldn't believe it.

"Then the covenant...is it really going to be abolished?"

"The Liao and Xixia had an alliance. At that time, I was really worried that they would join forces and go south!"

"If the two countries join forces, the Song Dynasty will be in turmoil in an instant."

"..."

Su Shi!

Everyone thought of Su Shi's analysis just now and couldn't help but admire him sincerely.

"Su Yushi, what did you say about this matter?"

"Zizhan, you actually got it right. It shows that you have thought a lot about diplomacy. Please give me some advice later."

"Zizhan, I'm having a treat with someone in the office today. Let's go have a drink. We won't come back until we're drunk."

When Tang Jie, the censor Zhongcheng, came out, he saw everyone surrounding Su Shi with such puzzling enthusiasm that he frowned and said, "What's going on?"

Tang Jie has a very tough temper and will scold anyone he sees inappropriate, so everyone is a little afraid of him.

A censor said with cupped hands: "Earlier, we discussed the fight between the Liao envoys and the Xixia envoys, and judged that it would have little impact on the relationship between the two countries. However, Su Shi said that it would make the alliance between the two countries in vain. We were not convinced. Who knew that it had just come? The news said that the Liao envoy denounced the Song Dynasty and Xixia, and then returned with his people. We deeply admired Su Shi's judgment, so we made a little noise..."

"The envoy of Liao has left?" Tang Jie felt that this was really strange. He had never seen it before in the history of exchanges between Song and Liao.

"Yes." The clerk who reported the news said respectfully: "The Liao envoy said that the Song Dynasty and Xixia were colluding and working together. After he returns home this time, he will definitely make the Liao Kingdom look good to the Song Dynasty and Xixia."

"Is this so?" Tang Jie couldn't help but be happy and said: "Of course the alliance between the two countries is in name only... This will be of great benefit to the Song Dynasty, okay!"

Su Shi stood there, head slightly raised, looking at Qi Yu's majesty, but the pride in his heart was almost substantive, and he wished he could shout out loud.

"Su Shi..." Tang Jie always felt that Su Shi was not stable enough, "I always thought that you were not stable enough, so I thought you should work hard for a few more years..."

do not!

When Su Shi heard this, he even wanted to die.

Although he was not an official fan, he could not refuse the temptation of promotion.

If he spent a few more years in the Yushitai, he felt like he would go crazy.

"But you can actually see through this, which shows that you work hard every day."

Yeah yeah!

Su Shi nodded and tried to pretend to be reserved and said, "I just think about these things at home."

Tang Jie nodded and said: "Many people only care about having fun after returning home, but look at Su Shi. He is still thinking about official matters when he returns home. If everyone on and off the censor's stage has this intention, then why are they worried about not being able to complete the impeachment?"

The Yushitai also has tasks. If you fail to complete the impeachment task every year, there will naturally be punishment waiting for you. In the mouth of the Shangguan, your ability will also be questioned. Don't think about promotion.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Su Shi.

Su Shi stood with his hands behind his back, his beard and hair swaying gently in the breeze, his expression calm, like an immortal.

Banish the immortal!

Some people couldn't help but secretly praise, and then said sincerely: "In the past, I thought Su Yushi joked all day long and delayed official business, but today I realized that he was so hardworking. Hey! I should follow Su Yushi's example in the future. Talk about cantilevering the head and stabbing the buttocks, at least we have to make some noise."

Tang Jie nodded, "Okay. In this way, I, the Yushitai, are determined to do a good job next year. Su Shi..."

"The official is here." At this moment, Su Shi even saluted freely and easily.

Tang Jie secretly praised in his heart and said: "I used to have some misunderstandings about you, but now I regret it. It just so happened that the official ordered Yushitai to send someone to ask questions. This time you go."

oh……

Everyone couldn't help but let out a sigh of envy.

This is the year-end report!

Normally, this kind of thing would go to the censor Zhongcheng, but Tang Jie asked Su Shi to go there, and told Zhao Shu tactfully: Official, Su Shi is not bad, please show him.

This is the opportunity to ascend to heaven.

Su Shi entered the palace with eyes full of envy, jealousy and hatred. When he saw Zhao Shu, he saluted with ease, making Zhao Shu nod secretly.

Most people will be at a loss when they meet you for the first time.

But Su Shi was very free and easy, which is rare.

Zhao Shu thought of Su Shi's poems and articles and couldn't help but nodded slightly, but he didn't know that Su Shi was a silly, bold and extreme optimist. According to Shen An, even if this guy was abandoned in Qiongzhou, he would still be able to enjoy himself.

And the two people in the palace... Empress Dowager Cao and Empress Gao both admired Su Shi very much, especially Gao Taotao, who could read Su Shi's poems and articles for a long time.

"How is Yushitai doing this year?"

Of course Zhao Shu knew what Tang Jie meant by sending Su Shi, so he gave a rare smile.

"Guan family, the Yushitai is not doing well this year." As soon as Su Shi opened his mouth, Chen Zhongheng next to him almost knelt down.

When others come to see you and report on their yamen affairs, they always say good things rather than bad things. You are good, but the first time you speak, you are not very good.

If the people at Yushitai find out, I'm afraid they will eat you alive.

However, Zhao Shu praised him in his heart and felt that such a minister should be reused if he was selfless.

Su Shi didn't know that he had accidentally won the favor of Zhao Shu, and continued: "There are fewer people impeached by Yushitai this year, and there is some disorder..."

"Tell me something." Zhao Shu was really interested.

Su Shi continued to speak stupidly and boldly, "Let's just say that the last time the Prime Minister Han was impeached, it was clearly a matter of speculation, but the censors still swarmed in. What were they thinking? I thought they were all thinking about how to bring down Han. Prime Minister, that is the merit of leaving a name in history...I believe that such thoughts of a good reputation are undesirable and should be suppressed."

good!

It is right to seek fame in Yushitai, but the sense of proportion must be grasped. But how can these censors pay attention to this? They are people who can even impeach the emperor. Once the emperor is caught by them, the bullets are guaranteed to drive Zhao Shu crazy.

Therefore, Su Shi's big mouth today made Zhao Shu very happy. Looking at Su Shi, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of beautification.

He is indeed a good minister!

Su Shi suddenly remembered what Shen An said before, UU reading www.uukanshu. nnet The general idea is to have a good relationship with your colleagues and not become the target of public criticism.

What did someone say just now?

Thinking of what he had just said, Su Shi couldn't help sweating down his spine, and then said seriously: "Your Majesty, everyone has the desire to seek fame, and so do I. I am the same as my colleagues, but when I seek fame, I try to think more about government affairs. , take more into consideration the overall situation.”

These words were extremely grand. Zhao Shu nodded and said with a smile: "Yushitai is doing quite well this year."

The Yushitai did not cause any trouble for him this year, so it was naturally good.

So Su Shi's crisis passed inexplicably.

"You're so good at it." Zhao Shu looked at him and saw that his expression was still calm. He couldn't help but praise: "If you have time, you can write more poems and articles."

"yes."

Su Shi resigned. After leaving the hall, he felt his body go limp. Fortunately, he held on to the railing, and then pretended to be in a great mood for poetry and said, "I have it."

wipe!

Chen Zhongheng who sent him out couldn't help but said with envy: "Su Yushi is really talented!"

This talent is not overflowing, but rushing.

Then Su Shi stood here and composed a poem. In a short time, it was spread to Zhao Shu and the harem, which immediately attracted waves of admiration.
