A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 162 This Is Not Doing Your Job Properly.

The Cao family is a top powerful family, or a descendant family, so power cannot be tainted, but this power refers to important ministers.

Everyone knows that county officials are not as good as current officials, so some people from the Cao family serve below. Cao Yun is one of them, and he is one of the most outstanding ones.

Such a disciple must naturally be protected.

That's why Cao Yun dared to be confident.

That's why Song Xiang and Du Ziling let go.

So the officials in the Privy Council are all waiting to see Shen An's joke...

So Ren Shouzhong came, which was expected.

The queen was furious, so she naturally wanted to teach you Shen An a big lesson, letting you know how deep the water in Bianliang City is, and you should be careful in your words and deeds in the future...

But what did Ren Shouzhong say just now?

——Shen An came to the Privy Council. This was an official decision and a wise decision!

Everyone looked at Shen An.

Shen An stood with his hands behind his hands indifferently, even a little impatient.

He was sorting out the information in the four rooms just now, but his thoughts were interrupted by this, and he was a little annoyed.

Cao Yun's face was pale, and he looked at Ren Shouzhong expectantly, hoping that he would scold Shen An in person.

"you……"

Ren Shouzhong looked at Cao Yun, frowned and said, "The sage said that the Cao family should work in a down-to-earth manner and abide by their duties."

The officials around were shocked.

Is this the queen?

Is this the rumored queen who is decisive in killing?

These words are tantamount to scolding, just saying that Cao Yun is domineering.

But Cao Yun would rather let Shouzhong call him domineering, but he doesn't want to hold it in like this.

You, Cao Yun, are not honest, down-to-earth, or responsible!

These words were like slaps on his face.

The eyes of the surrounding officials gradually changed.

Didn’t you say you could move the queen?

The queen's people are here, but they are scolding you.

What about Shen An?

Shen An, you should also reprimand me.

Ren Shouzhong didn't seem to notice these strange looks. He nodded to Shen An, smiled and said, "The sage said, Shen An is good."

What rice?

The eyes of the officials around him almost popped out.

Queen, you are doing this for yourself!

The general scolded Cao Yun, then turned around and praised Shen An. Is this the queen?

Shen An cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much for your consideration, I will give you the opportunity to come to the palace to express my gratitude."

Unless the emperor dies or listens to politics behind the curtain, how can foreign ministers have the chance to see the queen? So what he said was not sincere at all.

Ren Shouzhong nodded slightly, then walked away.

"No, there's something wrong with his eyes. He looks a little annoyed."

Those with sharp eyes shared their findings.

This is... the Queen is unwilling to do so?

Then today's big reversal can be easily explained.

The queen is still the same queen, still killing decisively.

But the officials took action.

Shen An felt that this was expected, so there was nothing surprising.

He frowned slightly, feeling that these officials were really idle, so he shouted: "Go back and do your work!"

He turned around and entered the duty room. Everyone gradually dispersed, leaving only Cao Yun standing there blankly.

"Snowing!"

At some point, snowflakes slowly fell down.

In the winter of the third year of Jiayou's reign, the first snow in Bianliang came without warning.

Zhang Liufu looked at Shen An in awe, and then timidly put the teacup on the table.

"Awaiting the edict..."

Shen An was making a form, looked up, nodded slightly, and then continued working.

Do you hate me?

Zhang Liufu now just wants to hit the wall to make up for his previous shrinkage. He felt that Shen An would no longer value him, and that he would become a handyman in the future, and soon he would sink into the deep well of the Privy Council.

"Come to Tang Ren!"

Shen An ordered without raising his head.

"What?"

Zhang Liufu couldn't believe his ears at all. He felt that Shen An would ignore him and make him despair with his indifference.

Shen An raised his head and said displeasedly: "It's because your ears are bad, or because I can't control you anymore."

Zhang Liufu rushed out in an instant, even forgetting to close the door with his backhand.

A cold wind blew in some snowflakes.

Shen An stood up and walked outside the door, just in time to see Cao Yun's staggering back.

He reached out his hand to catch a snowflake and looked at it.

Guoguo should be happy at home, right?

"Awaiting the edict..."

Tang Ren came, and he said with a smile: "I heard the chirping of birds when I got up this morning. It is indeed a happy event. I am waiting for the edict wisely!"

This man still had a habit of praising Shangguan.

"speak nicely!"

When Shen An saw him smiling flatteringly, he felt that this guy was really not suitable to be in the guest room.

After the two of them entered, Shen An pointed to the form on the table and asked, "Whenever the Korean envoy arrives, the local magistrate must greet and entertain him. Whose rule is this?"

it is this?

Tang Ren was familiar with this and said, "Gaoli also entertains our people..."

The first thing a new official does when he takes office is nothing to him, so he feels that Shen An's first thing is not a big deal.

Shen An said slowly: "They are going to Dengzhou, right?"

Tang Ren nodded and said, "That's the closest."

Starting from Dengzhou, you can first go to Goryeo, and then follow the coastline until you reach the Kingdom of Japan.

Tang Ren felt that Shen An would probably have to choose a new entry point, so he was ready to go back.

"Awaiting the edict, I will retire."

Shen An pressed his hand and motioned for him to sit down, and then said quietly: "This is a business of welcoming people and sending them off, instead of doing their job!"

Tang Ren was stunned when he heard this, and said: "It's very good that Gao Li has good relations with us. This is a necessary etiquette!"

Brother, these are friendly neighbors. Don’t offend them!

Shen An shook his head and said, "Which is more important, other countries or the Song Dynasty?"

"It's time to stop."

Shen An immediately wrote a memorial and called Zhang Liufu.

Zhang Liufu was becoming more and more respectful now. Shen An felt that he was trying to make a fool of himself, just to see if he had such good fortune.

He lightly tapped the table with his fingers and said in deep thought: "Receiving envoys is a matter for the central government. Why do local officials get involved?"

Zhang Liufu didn't understand why Shen An said this to him, but when he saw a look of surprise on Tang Ren's face, his human spirit properties took over.

Are you asking me to spread the news?

He lowered his head and said: "Waiting for the edict, they all say that the villain is well-informed..."

——I can go and deliver the news!

Shen An nodded slightly and said, "As long as you are well-informed, go ahead."

This is to tell everyone in the Privy Council that I, Shen An, will burn the heads of the Korean people first when I come here!

Are you convinced?

This is very ambitious, but Tang Ren has worry written all over his face: "When you wait for the edict, think twice! The Korean envoy will definitely come to the Privy Council..."

You will hit a wall, UU reading www. uuknshu. net Then the Korean envoy will come to cause trouble for you.

Shen An said calmly: "For the Song Dynasty, my personal honor and disgrace don't matter."

This show was well done. Tang Ren was moved and said: "Don't worry about the imperial edict. I will advance and retreat with you."

Later the Privy Council learned the news.

"Ms. sir, Shen An actually wants to operate on a Korean?"

Du Ziling said in surprise: "He just escaped from the queen's hands, and now he wants to touch the Korean people, my husband. I'm afraid he is wrong about this, and he will be bloody!"

The queen's concession is only temporary. You, Shen An, had better be honest. But you didn't stop, and then wanted to beat the Koreans. This... you really have no friends!

Song Xiang was the prime minister, and the best charcoal fire was burned in the room, which was smokeless.

He put the brush on the pen holder, then rubbed his eyes and said vaguely: "The officials are somewhat dissatisfied with the Privy Council, but Shen An is restless... Do you understand?"

Du Ziling nodded and said: "The official asked him to stir it up. When I saw those people cooking pig food in the countryside, the smell was unpleasant, but the farmers had to stir it up from time to time, and the smell spread to the pigs. In the pen, the big pigs and little pigs were all squealing and full of energy..."

"You, you!"

Song Xiang laughed, pointed at Du Ziling and said, "What you said was too narrow-minded. You compared all the officials in the four rooms of the Privy Council to pigs. If they hear it, they will definitely scold you behind your back."

Du Ziling said calmly: "Shen An didn't tell someone beforehand. If something happens, don't blame anyone for not speaking up for him."

Then the news actually reached the ears of Goryeo envoy Jin Chengdao, but he just said contemptuously: "A young man wants to attack this matter when he takes office as a new official. We don't need to worry about it. Emperor Song will naturally teach him a lesson."
