A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 365: Foresight, the Trick

Zhao Zhen had a headache.

The knowledge of sages must be learned solemnly and with awe, only in this way can one become a gentleman.

This is the rule.

But today this rule was broken.

Some people were thinking about whether they could bring order to the chaos by suppressing the students of Taixue, but they gave up immediately.

The method cannot be blocked, and others will use it even if it is too learned.

Isn't it just a question-sea tactic? No matter what the question is, I'll talk about it first.

Who wouldn’t?

But...but this is so polite!

From today on, how many people will see Shen An as a benefactor, and how many people will see him as an enemy.

Those people will lose their respect for the knowledge of sages, how terrible!

When he looked at Shen An again, he felt a splitting headache.

"You go ahead."

I don't want to see you right now.

After Shen An left, Zhao Zhen said a few words casually and let people disperse.

The ministers were secretly awestruck. After leaving the palace, they gathered together in twos and threes and talked in low voices.

Bao Zheng didn't run away either and was caught by Ouyang Xiu.

"Shen An has stabbed a beehive now. Why didn't you stop him in the first place?"

Ouyang Xiu himself is a leader in the literary world, so naturally he can't see Shen An's behavior of turning the affairs of intellectuals into a big carrot.

Bao Zheng said coldly: "How many people come here just like this? It's just that they don't work as hard."

Isn't this how everyone came here, but not as extreme as Taixue.

"How many Su Shis were there in the Song Dynasty? With one article, you, Ouyang Xiu, could make way for him."

Ouyang Xiu was silent.

"People like Su Shi are unparalleled geniuses. They are indeed rare to see."

"Most people in the world are mediocre. Since they are mediocre, let's see who works harder and is better? It's just that the test questions will be more difficult in the future."

Under the question sea tactic, all possible questions will be reviewed, so the skill of the question maker must be tested.

Bao Zheng shook his head, suddenly feeling gloating.

I'll let you guys play, now you'll feel good.

Everyone was pretending to be talented, but in the end they were beaten with a sap by Shen An until they were stunned.

The contents of this meeting were quickly spread.

Because Shen An's parents were away and Bao Zheng had many things to do, the matchmaker had to make more trips.

Since the engagement, Yang Zhuoxue secretly asked A Qing to find out about Shen An.

"... He said that he would not get married unless he revitalized the Imperial Academy. The young man is very strong-minded, but why would he use his own marriage as a quarrel? Could it be that he still wants to learn from Huo Qubing's saying, 'Why should the Xiongnu be destroyed before the family is destroyed?'"

"Mom, the students from Taixue did well in the exam this time, but... there were some gossips."

"Some people outside say it's fraud. Your father has been very worried these days. Others can't tell, but he can't hide it from me."

Mrs. Li sighed: "Why are you so anxious... If I had known now, why would I have used this as a bet in the first place? It would be better not to drink! Look at those drunk people who beat their own women when they go back, how shameless..."

"Mom, who hit someone again?"

"This is not the one at the end of the street... where he gets drunk every few days and then beats his own woman. It's shameless."

Women have the ability to chat to the point where they don’t even know they are off topic.

"...Hey! If Shen An really cheats, my daughter! What should I do?"

Mrs. Li had a headache, but Yang Zhuoxue didn't care.

She was doing needlework, and after getting engaged, she and Shen An would communicate through a matchmaker at the beginning and end of each month. If it happened to be a festival, Shen An's family would have to send gifts, and the Yang family would need to use her needlework to return the gifts.

Romance is never lacking in Chinese affairs between men and women, but it's just reserved.

Yang Zhuoxue raised her head and said softly: "Mom, since we have made an engagement, let's not worry about that. Anyway, dad has also said that after the engagement, it belongs to the Shen family. Even if he cheats or cheats, the daughter can only marry him. ."

But she remembered Shen An's calm smile.

He certainly won't cheat!

She thought firmly, but Li was a little flustered.

"Lady!"

Ah Qing came back, his face turned red as he ran.

"How? But it was fraud?"

Ah Qing was panting, and Li felt cold in her heart, so she stood up and said, "I just said, "How can that young man earn such a huge fortune? He is so good at dancing..."

There were only two servants in the Yang family, one male and one female, so Yang Zhuoxue poured a glass of water for A Qing and said softly: "Speak slowly."

Ah Qing panted for a long time and drank another glass of water before he recovered.

There was a worried look in her eyes and she said: "I just heard the news that Mr. Shen did not cheat, but actually made merit!"

"Ahem!"

Li felt her face heat up, and her previous doubts turned into counterattacks, which made her, a mother, feel embarrassed.

"Zhuoxue is still very powerful. She can see through Shen An's true nature at a glance...but how did you see it?"

Since it is embarrassing, then beautify your daughter as a consolation. Anyway, you gave birth to her, and her good is no different from your own.

Yang Zhuoxue put down her needle and thread and chuckled, "Mom, he doesn't look like someone who is eager for quick success."

She looked at Ah Qing and asked, "It seems like something happened to you. What is it?"

Ah Qing hesitated for a moment and said: "It is said outside that Mr. Shen took bribes... in a very orderly manner."

Yang Zhuoxue shook his head and said: "He is rich and will not accept bribes."

Li asked: "How did you do this?"

"Those powerful people asked their children to study at the Imperial Academy, and then in order to thank Mr. Shen, most of them gave gifts, which can be verified..."

Li's face turned pale instantly, "Why is it like this!"

In a restaurant, a group of people were drinking.

Raise the glass, cheers, and then someone is pouring wine.

This drink is naturally not the low-grade stuff that needs to be sifted out.

Everyone was silent. The old man above put down his wine glass, took the towel handed by the maid, wiped the wine stains on his gray beard, and then chuckled: "Our gifts are not easy to accept."

Someone below laughed and said: "He accepted our gift but didn't do anything, so I'm sorry."

"We promised our children to study, but what is that called... By the way, the thing called Tihai tactics is not taught to our children. This is obviously intentional. Since it is intentional..."

Everyone looked at each other, then raised their heads and laughed.

The old man smiled reservedly. After everyone's laughter died down, he slowly said: "He thought he had won a great victory, but he underestimated our ability to join forces. Did all the neighbors see those gifts?"

Everyone nodded: "When giving gifts, I always choose a time when neighbors are around."

The old man smiled happily and said: "This matter... tell me, will Zhao Yunrang be mad?"

"I'm not crazy!"

Zhao Yunrang stood with his hands behind his back. The broken porcelain pieces at his feet made Asu frown slightly, worried that he would step on them.

"Shen An..."

Zhao Yunrang regretted a little: "I should teach him what it means to be a powerful person..."

He sighed, "If you want to become a powerful person, you must first be shameless. The shameless powerful people have died long ago, and they will have no descendants and will never have a chance to stand up!"

He turned around and said with a wry smile: "Gifts from powerful people, unless they are related to business, or to relatives and friends, otherwise if you dare to send them openly, you are either asking for help or trying to deceive others."

"Go find Shen An. I have to ask carefully. If it doesn't work, I still have some face, so I can make a fuss with those powerful people and reveal those things. They should be afraid."

The old servant said worriedly: "Alang, it's easy to uncover the shady secrets of the powerful. If you do, our family will be the target of public criticism."

"so what?"

Zhao Yunrang's eyes were slightly cold and he said: "Thirteenth Lang has recovered well recently. Don't tell him about this..."

"yes."

Then he was waiting for Shen An's arrival.

"Prince, Shen An is not at home."

Damn it!

Lao Zhao was really angry and asked: "Where has he gone?"

"Said he went to the temple."

Zhao Yunrang couldn't help but said: "What kind of Buddha are you going to worship at this time? If you want to worship, it's also to worship an official! Stupid, beyond stupid!"

Shen An played with his sister for a long time and didn't go home until dark.

"Mr. Lang, someone has accused our family of accepting bribes from powerful people."

Zhuang Laoshi was in admiration at this moment, thinking that if Shen An hadn't insisted on giving those things away, the Shen family would be in trouble right now.

"It's just a small thing."

Guoguo was tired and yawning. Shen An asked someone to take her to take a bath and then go to bed early.

He was tired too.

But I couldn't sleep.

Chen Luo is getting a bottle of wine.

First throw a bunch of black stuff into the jar, and then put in a few dried worms...

There are even snakes among these bugs.

According to Chen Luo, snakes are also insects, growing worms.

"What can I do with this wine?"

Shen An was a little apprehensive, but Chen Luo said confidently: "Lang Jun, you are engaged here. As a man, if you want to make a great success...you have to drink medicinal wine!"

It's actually an aphrodisiac?

Shen An shook his head and said, "I don't want to drink this wine!"

His body is healthy and naturally he does not need supplements.

Chen Luo tried to persuade him a few more times, but Shen An just refused. He could only say regretfully: "I brewed a jar before and haven't opened it yet. That's all. I'll let the housekeeper try it tonight."

"Don't drink to death."

"Promise not."

Shen An also went to bed early tonight.

The brother and sister were sleeping in the backyard, while the servants were all in the front yard.

"what sound?"

Zeng Ermei never fell asleep, being disturbed by a voice that made her a little restless.

"Um……"

It's like a groan of pain, but it's like...

And it lasts a long time. UU reading www.uukanshu. net

Naturally, these sounds cannot be heard in the backyard, it is very quiet.

So when a dark figure lay on the wall and poked the ground with a bamboo pole, there was no big movement.

The bamboo pole poked a place, and the black shadow quietly turned over, and then fell on that place.

"What kind of bullshit trap is just a decoration in someone's eyes."

The black shadow smiled smugly, and then walked along the side.

As soon as he took a step, he felt his feet tighten.

not good!

He just wanted to get away, but was too slow.

A noose tightened around his ankle, and then a force came and he was pulled up into the air.

He refrained from shouting, but the feeling of swinging back and forth under the big tree was unpleasant.

The body is hung upside down, and blood rushes to the head.

His name is Wei Ming, and he is the best spy in the Imperial City Division. He goes in and out of the homes of powerful people in the capital as if they are nothing, and he is unscrupulous.

Rich families have guards and dogs, but he is never afraid of these.

When he heard that there was a trap in the Shen family, he just gave it a passing thought. He was ordered to come here tonight. He just wanted to see what the so-called trap looked like.

But I didn't meet the trap, but I met a trap...

The third update is here, continue coding...
