A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 231 The Selfless Shen An

Guo Qian looked at Shen An seriously.

"You are young, but you have done a lot of things, both good and bad. But among the younger generation in Bianliang, no one can be better than you. You can be called a handsome young man."

Shen An looked calm, not at all proud or moved.

This boy is not frivolous!

Guo Qian sighed, feeling that he had done something wrong by rejecting Shen An based on rumors.

"Since you are an official by His Majesty's side, you should know the three redundancies in the Song Dynasty, and redundant officials cause the most problems."

There are more officials, and one thing is broken down. You do this, and I do that, arguing with each other. What can be done by one person ends up being done by a group of people. Can the efficiency be high?

cannot!

"Those excuses for adding more official positions are very poor, but the lack of manpower is the most useful. Shen Tie Zhao, if his mental arithmetic skills can be admitted to the Imperial College, it will be of great benefit to the country and the people. I sincerely thank you."

He bowed again and prepared to try again next time if it didn't work this time.

"good."

Guo Qian was already prepared to be rejected. Just as he was about to straighten up, he heard the word "good" and his waist softened.

"Ouch!"

Shen An felt that Guo Qian was an old fox, and he was forcing himself to salute twice, but he was doing it for the public and the Song Dynasty, so Shen An helped him before he fell.

Guo Qian asked before he could stand still: "But I heard it wrong? Shen Daizhao, did I just hear a good word?"

The old man was a little excited, but also a little unbelievable.

Shen An can use this mental arithmetic technique to open doors and accept disciples. It won't take long for him to become famous all over the world, and then he will have students all over the world.

It only takes ten days to initially learn mental arithmetic. This is astonishing.

And he secretly speculated that there must be more to this mental arithmetic technique than just this.

Those officials are all pig-headed, so I use the simplest content to teach them.

The people in our Imperial College are all elites, and they still have time to delve into more profound calculation methods.

Isn't this a perfect match?

He looked at Shen An eagerly, feeling that he might be hearing hallucinations.

Shen An nodded slightly.

"Shen waits for an edict..."

When Guo Qian got excited, his breathing began to quicken. Shen An quickly brought tea, then calmed down for a long time, and then stopped.

"Thank you, thank you very much..."

Guo Qian was prepared to be rejected, but he didn't expect to be able to come in, and he didn't expect that Shen An didn't think about it and agreed without any embarrassment.

It was as simple as someone asking him to give him a piece of pie.

Could this man be joking?

He looked at Shen An steadily and asked, "Shen Daizhao, don't try to coax me."

Shen An said calmly: "The Song Dynasty is not only your Song Dynasty, but also Shen's Song Dynasty. It is the Song Dynasty of millions of people. Shen never spared any effort in serving the country... You sacrificed wine, but you underestimated Shen .”

Guo Qian stood up solemnly, pressed his right hand with his left hand, placed his hands in front of his forehead, and bowed down.

He was performing ancient rituals solemnly.

Shen An had no choice but to return one.

Guo Qian stood up straight and said with piercing eyes: "When I heard that the imperial edict said that the Han Dynasty should have a real husband and the Song Dynasty should have a real husband, I didn't think so. When I see him today, I know that there are many good men in the world."

Shen An didn't take his sugar-coated bullet and went to the study. When he came back, he had an extra book in his hand, which was more than twice as thick as the one he gave to Zhao Yun.

"This book contains addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, as well as some further mental arithmetic..."

Guo Qian stood up excitedly to pick it up, but Shen An took it back and said, "This matter must be reported to the officials."

"Leave it to me. If the officials refuse, I will bump my head into the palace and die."

Lao Guo was so excited that he forgot to say goodbye and ran away at a speed that shocked Chen Luo outside the door: "So fast!"

Guo Qian entered the palace all the way, and the first thing he said when he saw Zhao Zhen was: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Academy requires mental arithmetic."

Zhao Zhen was wondering why he came to see him. Hearing this, he said: "You are too impatient. Let's wait for someone to ask about this matter. If Shen An refuses, you can't...you..."

His words were rudely interrupted by Guo Qian, who had permission, and waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, Shen An agrees."

Guo Qian's joy made Zhao Zhen a little puzzled, so Fu Bi asked: "Who is going to persuade him? Could it be Bao Zheng? Yes, Shen An is rebellious, and only Bao Zheng can persuade him."

What's underneath Shen An's seemingly innocent appearance?

The monarchs and ministers here are all old ghosts. How could they fail to see that young man's temperament is round on the outside and square on the inside.

So I guessed it right away.

Bao Zheng still knows how to take care of the overall situation, good!

When Zhao Zhen was secretly wondering whether this wave of impeachment should be suppressed, Guo Qian said: "I will tell you."

"you?"

Fu Bi felt that Shen An was afraid that Guo Qian would not be allowed into the house.

Guo Qian was actually a little embarrassed: "Last time I spoke to Meng Lang, I thought I would be rejected today. Who would have thought that Shen would be humble and courteous to the imperial edict, and that it would be done as soon as he said it..."

Is Shen An that good?

The emperor and his ministers were a little puzzled, feeling that this was not the character of that young man.

According to their estimation, Shen An should have been rejected by Guo Qian, or even ridiculed a few times.

Guo Qian said solemnly: "Shen Daizhao said that this Song Dynasty belongs to no one, but belongs to the Song Dynasty of tens of millions of people. You should not spare any effort in serving the country."

What does personal honor, disgrace, and personal interests count?

In an instant, what Shen An did after arriving in Bianliang was recalled.

Zhao Zhen sighed: "That young man... speaking of it, I owe him a debt. He turned out to be like this..."

The officials were sad.

Fu Bi was also a little emotional and said: "Your Majesty, how about...let him go to the Imperial College to teach."

This is a privilege.

An ordinary professor is naturally not considered an honor, but Shen An is different.

He is an official, and in everyone's opinion, he has an unlimited future.

For such people to go to the Imperial College to teach, that is gold plating.

From now on, when Shen An goes out, if others question his qualifications, they will be done with just one sentence.

"A certain person taught at the Imperial College."

Professor Ma Dan from the Imperial College, who do you think is more powerful than the Jinshi?

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, but felt a little worried.

Bao Zheng told him privately that Shen An was probably led astray by the Mangshan hermit. He actually neglected many Confucian classics and was very good at those miscellaneous studies.

This thing gives me a headache!

But if he went to the Imperial College to teach, it would be even more of a headache.

What can he teach?

Most of them refused to do mental arithmetic, because all the coachmen in his family could go to the Imperial Academy to be mental arithmetic professors.

So what will he teach?

Zhao Zhen vaguely felt that his nodding just now was probably wrong.

That young man won't stir things up...

"Let me teach?"

Shen An felt his adrenaline surge.

Be a role model to others!

Wang Yu opened the folding fan and fanned it a few times, then said calmly: "Brother Anbei shouldn't go to the Imperial Academy. Those mediocre people are not worthy of you to teach. Just let him go on Tuesday."

His brows were light, showing that he was talking seriously.

Zhao Zhongzhen looked troubled, feeling that Wang Yu's words were too harsh.

Co-author In your eyes, the students in the Imperial College are all a bunch of pigs!

Wang Xu closed the folding fan with a snap and said sarcastically: "The Imperial College has existed in name only, and is now mixed with the Imperial College. Brother Anbei, the Imperial College and the Imperial College are one, with less than fifty students in total. This kind of place What’s there to go to?”

What?

Shen An was stunned when he heard this.

There are not even fifty students in the Imperial College and Imperial College combined?

"But why did I hear that there are many students from Taixue?"

There was a little regret on Wang Yu's eyebrows: "It turned out that when Hu Yuan was here, he accepted apprentices and taught, and there were so many people in the Imperial Academy that they couldn't accommodate them. Later...those people gradually felt that there was no benefit, so they dispersed again."

Hu Yuan is a great Confucian, a real great Confucian.

He was seriously ill at the beginning of this year, and Zhao Zhen specially sent someone to take him to the eldest son in Hangzhou to recuperate. When he left the city, there was a sensation in Bianliang, and people were sent to see him off all the way to a hundred miles away.

The old man taught and educated people all his life, and his students were all over the world. Cheng Yi, the later Neo-Confucian master, once served as his disciple in Taixue.

Shen An admired such people, but when he thought that the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Academy only had two or three kittens combined, he felt that he had been tricked by Guo Qian.

With such a small number of people, no wonder they were talking about the Imperial College's primary school.

In later generations, the Imperial College and the Imperial Academy together would be just one class.

Brother was fooled!

Don’t go!

Definitely not going!

So Shen An became 'sick'.

The wave of impeachment of Bao Zheng in North Korea and China became more and more intense.

Shen An was lying on the recliner, and Guoguo was sitting on his belly, holding a handkerchief in her hand. She covered his face for a while, saying that his brother was asleep, and then opened it again, saying that his brother was awake.

After a good afternoon nap, Shen An was so confused that she couldn't bear to live.

Zhao Zhongzhen sent him news that made him unable to sleep again.

"Brother An Bei, Ouyang Xiu impeached Bao Zheng."

Damn it!

Shen An sat up immediately, and Guoguo, who was sitting on his belly, suddenly fell down. Fortunately, Shen An reacted quickly and caught her.

The little girl looked at her brother blankly, then pursed her lips...

"Wow……"

After finally coaxing her sister, Shen An hurried to the Yushitai to find Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng remained calm.

"Are you worried?"

Bao Zheng said with a smile: "Ouyang Xiao'er called me shameless and a treacherous villain. In order to become the Third Secretary-General, he impeached Zhang Fangping and Song Qi one after another. He also said that I have no knowledge and am worthy of being the Third Secretary-General? All this? I can ignore it, but that kid actually said that I have a reputation for being upright, but I am a villain, which is tolerable, but what is intolerable!"

Lao Bao suddenly stood up, and Shen An realized that he was not wearing official uniform, but in casual clothes.

What does Lao Bao want to do?

A cold air rose from Shen An's back, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "Mr. Bao, why do you have to argue with him? Let's..."

Bao Zheng had already gone out. Shen An had a sad face, thinking, are you going to challenge Ouyang Xiu?

Yushitai and Kaifeng Fuyamen are next to each other. They are considered neighbors. Bao Zheng turned left when he went out and entered the Fuyamen.

Shen An persuaded her all the way, but Bao Zheng had a cold face. When he got outside the duty room, Bao Zheng shouted: "Ouyang kid!"

The response from inside was almost instantaneous.

"Mr. Bao Zheng!"

Bao Zheng is older than Ouyang Xiu, but calling him that would probably make him fall out.

Bang!

Bao Zheng walked straight in, UU reading www.uukanshu.net Shen An wanted to go in, but he closed the door.

Boom!

Shen An touched his nose that was almost hit and thought, don't get into a fight!

Two old men in their fifties and sixties were fighting. The scene was so beautiful that Shen An didn't dare to think about it.

"You're such a rude kid, I'm here to teach you a lesson today."

"You, Bao Zheng, have been showing off and deceiving you all day long with the memorial tablet of a direct minister. Others are deceived by you, but I know it all!"

"What are your achievements?"

"I'm improving my style!"

Thanks to "Ruobing" for rewarding the leader, and thanks to the leader of "Boring War" for the reward. Two leaders rewarded each other in one day. This is recognition and encouragement to Sir, thank you to the two leaders.
