Chapter 1,693 I Am Ashamed to Speak Out About This Matter

Bianliang is very hot.

Zhao Shu was a little anxious.

"The Liao people's harassment in the north has become more and more severe. What does Yelu Hongji want to do? Go south?"

In the absence of Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang was the leading brother, but his military accomplishments were hard to describe. Wen Yanbo went out as a privy envoy and said: "Your Majesty, there is a strong city in the Northern Song Dynasty. Didn't some artillery pieces be transported there recently? I think I If Yelu Hongji goes south, he will definitely get a bloody head."

"Yes, I forgot about this." Zhao Shu felt relieved and said with a smile: "The power of artillery is not small. That time they used sheep as a comparison and shot out with one shot. That scene made me also My heart trembled. If the Liao people come to attack the city and encounter artillery, I'm afraid they will only hate the city."

Fu Bi coughed dryly, which was a hint that Zeng Gongliang came out to suppress Wen Yanbo.

As the leader of the old party, Wen Yanbo appeared in the court, so he was naturally the enemy of the political hall.

"Yes! It's just that the locust plague in Yanzhou makes me uneasy, otherwise..."

Zhao Shu's eyes became more serious, "I feel that Yelu Hongji is looking at Bianliang and looking at me."

This is a gut feeling.

"He is waiting for me to attack." Zhao Shu sneered: "The Northern Expedition. The Song Dynasty has talked about it a lot in recent years, but it is just talk."

Are the officials dissatisfied?

Zeng Gongliang advised: "Your Majesty, the Northern Expedition is important. We must prepare countless baggage and mobilize the elite imperial army to go north..."

Bianliang's elite imperial army is heading north, and the officials in Bianliang may be a little uneasy.

Therefore, Emperor Taizong insisted on conducting the Northern Expedition himself. On the one hand, he felt that he was like a god in using troops and was unmatched by anyone in the world. On the other hand, he was afraid of leaving such a huge army under the control of a general.

"Your Majesty, we have to ask someone to inspect the situation in the north to see what the Liao people are doing." Wen Yanbo volunteered, "I am willing to go."

After a trip to the north, I came back with more qualifications and more prestige.

When the prestige reaches a certain level, it is not difficult to enter the political hall.

Zhao Shu glanced at him and said, "Wen Qing is an old minister, so that's fine."

Wen Yanbo was overjoyed and hurriedly left the team and said: "I must have found out the signs of the Liao people and reported back."

Zhao Shu nodded, and Zeng Gongliang felt annoyed, knowing that he had made a mistake.

He should have taken the initiative to ask for help just now. Even if he couldn't go, he still had Fu Bi to support him.

As long as Wen Yanbo's invitation is interrupted, the matter will be considered a success.

It's just that it's a bit domineering to mix things up like this.

Huh!

He suddenly thought of Han Qi.

Han Qi's various methods seemed arrogant, but now that he thought about it, they were not to maintain the stability of the DPRK.

Yes, no wonder the late emperor and the current officials tolerate him. They must have seen the deeper meaning behind his domineering behavior.

I still fall short of Han Qi a lot!

At this moment, Zeng Gongliang felt a little depressed.

Then the prime ministers and assistants dispersed. When they left the main hall, Zeng Gongliang saw Zhang Ba8an coming in a hurry, so he stepped aside and watched the spy leader enter the main hall.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Shu was looking at the map.

On the map, the territory in the north looked very large, much larger than that of the Song Dynasty.

"I really want to get them all back!"

Zhao Shu raised his head and Zhang Baibian said: "Guan family, there is news from Yanzhou that the locust plague has been suppressed."

"good!"

Zhao Shu's tired eyes were filled with excitement. He stood up and said, "How did Han Qi and Shen An do it? What did they do after the duck?"

When Han Qi and Shen An went down, people from the Imperial City Department were mixed in with the accompanying team, and they kept gathering information.

"Xiang Han and Shen An negotiated and agreed to collect dried locusts at a price of four hundred and sixty coins."

Zhao Shu nodded and said nothing. Now that Song Dynasty has money and can use money to solve problems, this is not a problem.

"Then people all over Yanzhou began to kill the locusts, and even local officials joined in."

Zhao Shu sighed, "Someone will impeach me later."

Officials actually ignored their duties and went to catch locusts. It is really embarrassing to tell this.

But the treatment of officials in the Song Dynasty is really hard to describe.

Those who say that the Song Dynasty has been raising scholars for hundreds of years and that the treatment is particularly attractive are basically overgeneralizing.

The income of officials in the Song Dynasty started to rise from the middle level, and life was really difficult for those below the middle level, otherwise Bao Shou would not have died in poverty on the way to his appointment.

So when the officials went to catch the locusts, Zhao Shu was angry but couldn't get angry because he knew this.

"Later outside Yanzhou..."

"Wait, let the ministers come." Zhao Shu took a deep breath, "There were many people who impeached Han Qi and Shen An yesterday. Some people said that they caused chaos on Jingdong Road. It's just right to let them listen."

…

"Later, people from outside Yanzhou came in droves after hearing the news. Prime Minister Han was in charge of the place. Shen Longtu led people to check around and stopped many armed fights..."

Lu Hui's eyes widened.

Can you still fight with weapons?

This is a locust plague!

Why do local people seem to be having a carnival?

Zhao Shu said with a smile: "When they went north, Shen An asked if they could use more money, and I agreed."

This Song Dynasty has a rule that anything that can be solved with money is no big deal. In the past, disaster victims were reorganized into Xiang troops, and Sui coins were exchanged for peace.

The ministers congratulated him.

Zhao Shu's expression gradually became dull.

"The locust plague has been suppressed. Donations have been made from various places. Among them, the family in Xianyuan County... donated 120,000 yuan."

oh……

Everyone in the hall was exclaimed, and then they were filled with pride.

That home is like a memorial tablet. Everyone can't help but feel proud that his home is so grand.

Zhao Shu looked at this scene with some inexplicable thoughts running through his mind.

"As much as 120,000 coins, Your Majesty deserves a reward."

Lu Hui had a serious look on his face, but he was secretly proud in his heart.

Although that family never expresses its position on the government, it is naturally a supporter of the old party. If these 120,000 yuan are thrown out, it will be a major victory for the old party.

The officials of the old party looked high-spirited. Zhao Shu saw this and suddenly said: "I am too ashamed to speak out about this..."

Officials were shy about speaking out, so naturally Chen Zhongheng took the blame. He came out and said, "Shen An and a certain gentleman from that family met in Xianyuan, and that man took the initiative to invite Shen An to drink..."

Is this guy crazy?

Lu Hui felt that that family really underestimated the enemy.

That guy Shen An is not a good bird! You took the initiative to invite him to drink, which is no different from inviting the god of plague to your door.

Bao Zheng coughed dryly and said, "Shen An has done a good job this time. The family is so grateful that they can treat him to a drink."

Lao Bao became more and more shameless.

Everyone knew that that family member was squatting at home as a memorial tablet. He was somewhat arrogant and didn't know much about the outside world, so he regarded Shen An as a little white rabbit.

"During the dinner, Shen An was moved by emotion and Xiao was moved by reason. The man generously donated his money and promised to donate 120,000 yuan."

Is it that simple?

Shen An was moved with emotion... Doesn't he prefer to threaten people by breaking their legs?

As for Xiao Zhiyi, everyone knows the truth, but few are willing to donate all their wealth.

That family is truly a role model for me!

So why do officials say they are ashamed to speak out?

Everyone was puzzled.

Zhao Shu suddenly felt a headache, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

Everyone left the hall, and someone said: "That Shen Guoguo and a group of young ladies donated a lot. Come on, that family may not want to be left behind."

Everyone praised him for a while, thinking that the descendants of the ancestor were really remarkable.

By the afternoon, there were a few more strangers in the capital.

They went straight to the homes of several old party bosses and waited for them to go to the office.

After Lu Jie left the office, he slowly returned home.

Bianliang is prosperous, and the more prosperous it is, the more people don’t want to give up their wealth.

"This is wealth!"

The wealth Lu Jie talks about is not money, but the prosperous scene.

After arriving home, his family told them about the visitor. Lu Ji frowned and said, "I donated 120,000 yuan, which is too much. Isn't his family ready to live a good life?"

At this moment, the family is just getting better. It cannot compare to the Xuanhe in the Ming Dynasty, with 120,000 yuan, which is probably a strain.

All the way to the study, Lu Hui asked someone to invite the man.

As soon as he met Lu Hui, he felt something was wrong.

Why does this mean something sad and angry?

The visitor saluted, and then said angrily, "Lv Zhiza, my husband was deceived by Shen An."

Lu Hui's heart skipped a beat, and then he had some thoughts of gloating about his misfortune.

You actually treat Shen An's big bug as a harmless white rabbit, and you'll be damned if you don't get tricked.

"say clearly."

The man said: "My husband invited Shen An to drink. He always tried to persuade him nicely and let him know where the general trend was. He was also willing to help him pull strings and shake hands with those people to make peace. But Shen An..."

Well!

He went so far as to persuade Shen An to reconcile with the opponents of the New Deal?

That man...could that man be a mallet?

Lu Jie didn't think there was anything to sympathize with, on the contrary, he was a little happy.

He looked outside the door and really wanted to have a song and dance to entertain him right now!

The man continued: "But Shen An actually used deception to deceive my husband. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net My husband drank too much, so he signed the loan document, or something like nine departures and thirteen returns... …a total of 120,000 guan.”

It’s so fierce!

Lu Hui asked curiously: "How did he deceive your husband?"

120,000 yuan, this is not a small amount. How did Shen An cheat it?

The man looked up and said, "He and my husband turned around, turned three bowls upside down, put a bean soak in one of the bowls, and then moved the three bowls continuously, and finally asked my husband to guess which bowl the beans were soaked in."

This is very interesting!

People in the Song Dynasty always had an extraordinary enthusiasm for gambling. Lu Jie asked someone to bring three bowls, but there was no soaked beans, so he used a stone marble instead.

"But this?"

"No, it's three bowls spinning around, always in a row." The visitor began to move the three bowls quickly.

"That's it?"

The three bowls were constantly moving on the table.

"right."

Lu Jie opened a bowl and said, "It's right here."

Sure enough, the marbles were underneath.

"Your husband... 120,000 yuan, who will take care of the bowl? How much will they bet?" Lu Jie was really curious. What kind of bet was it that made that man lose 120,000 yuan?

The visitor looked aggrieved, "It's Shen An who makes the bowl, once a thousand times."

"Then... even if you remove the Nine Outs and Thirteen Returns, your husband actually lost almost a hundred times?"

"yes!"

Lu Jie looked up to the sky and sighed.

This kind of game can be won by children, but you can lose?

How could he lose so much?
