Chapter 468: Shen An Wielding a Hoe to Dig Roots
Han Qi was looking at Shen An. He had always thought that this kid was stupid, but now he felt that he was wrong.
This is not stupidity, but stupidity!
Many people have committed embezzlement of public funds, but some have filled it in while others have not.
As an enterprising official, no one will take advantage of this. Otherwise, if someone catches this issue and attacks them later, they will be digging a hole for themselves.
Are there many enterprising officials?
not much.
Most officials feel that they have no hope of advancement and might as well just muddle along.
These people are the main force in corruption and embezzlement of public funds.
Generally speaking, if the amount is not large, everyone will turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, so they will always live in peace.
Now Shen An pulled down the innocent sign and stepped on it a few times.
You rock!
Han Qi sincerely admired Shen An's boldness.
Many reform measures were proposed during the Qingli Reform, but corruption and misappropriation of public funds were never the focus.
Why?
Because once you touch this, officials all over the world will regard you as an enemy, so why not reform?
But Shen An opened fire on this matter.
There was silence in the hall.
Chen Zhongheng felt that Shen An was seeking death, but as long as he didn't pursue him relentlessly, he would be able to overcome the crisis after a while.
Get out of here right now!
Still staring at the official family, what do you want to do?
Seeking death!
Zhao Zhen also felt that Shen An was seeking death.
Don't think that there was no corruption because the Song Dynasty treated officials well. The root cause of corruption was not the treatment, but the money within reach, which was constantly tempting the officials.
Faced with this kind of temptation, how many people can withstand it?
Could this young man have a fever?
Zhao Zhen shook his head slightly and said, "I will think about this matter carefully."
Stop it, I've settled this matter for you.
Even if word of today's incident spreads, it will become an attempted incident and be laughed at.
But Shen An raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, there are six redundant officials who are working outside. These six people hang out every day and do nothing, but they still receive the salary from the court every month. Your Majesty, these six people are useless. Why are we raising them when the corpses are on a plain diet?"
Zhao Zhen's eyes were dull. He looked at this impassioned young man as if he was seeing the same person back then.
Fan Zhongyan!
He was so impassioned back then, but in the end it ended sadly.
The focus of the Qingli Reform was not other things, but the administration of officials.
Fan Zhongyan's goal was to reduce the number of officials in the Song Dynasty, drive those vegetarians home to eat old rice, and then use various means to limit the growth of the number of officials...
He even asked to verify the performance of officials. This was a hornet's nest, and officials all over the world were against him.
The other one was Enmeng. Fan Zhongyan did not dare to cut off this line, but only restricted it, pushing Enmeng's age back and requiring exams.
These two articles really angered countless officials and dignitaries, so undercurrents surged. Soon Fan Zhongyan changed from a famous gentleman to a famous villain, and he was also a villain who formed cliques for personal gain.
This is the consequence of offending powerful officials.
Whether you are a gentleman or a villain in this life is just what they say.
Don’t you, Shen An, know this?
Zhao Zhen believed that Shen An knew, but why did he dare to stab him like this?
He looked at the prime ministers and assistants, and even Ouyang Xiu lowered his head this time.
No one dares to poke into this hornet's nest, but Shen An does.
I want to beat someone up!
The veins on Zhao Zhen's forehead jumped.
He doesn't want to innovate, but once he does, the world will be in chaos.
He waved his hand and said calmly: "Step back. Sirs, please step back."
Shen An was angry and said: "Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty is already in danger. These people are eating the flesh and blood of the Song Dynasty and corroding the body of the Song Dynasty. If we ignore it, what will happen in the future? The Song Dynasty may be able to support it in the future. Get these bugs?"
If you can’t afford it, everyone knows you can’t afford it.
But it's better to die than to live. We can still live now, so why do we need to take action?
Innovation is like performing surgery on yourself. Most people are definitely afraid of pain, so they put it off as long as they can. When they can no longer put it off, they tragically discover that it is already irreparable.
Zhao Zhen shouted with a livid face: "Back off!"
This is to protect you, kid, otherwise you will become the target of public criticism!
Shen An took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, this day will come sooner or later. After Fan Gong, everyone is silent. But this Song Dynasty needs people to stand up and shout to tell everyone about these crises. These shouts will cause those insects to go crazy. Bite, I... I am already prepared, even if I die!"
He bowed and excused himself.
Jun Chen looked at his back as he slowly walked out, and suddenly felt a little cold.
There was a time when everyone here was ambitious enough to innovate and put it into practice.
But after the failure, they saw the huge opposition force, and they no longer dared to talk about innovation, only seeking stability.
Now another young man has come and shouted just like we did back then.
Shen An's focus was not on embezzlement of public funds, he just used this as an introduction to the issue of officialdom.
Half of the people working as an outsider are sitting around doing nothing, earning their salary in vain. Looking at the entire Song Dynasty, how many such people are there?
This Song Dynasty...
Zhao Zhen suddenly felt a little cold.
He read on, Han Qi was in a daze, Zeng Gongliang frowned slightly, Sun Pian didn't care about anything, Ouyang Xiu...
Ouyang Xiu came out and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must be kept secret."
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "It can't be sealed."
Ouyang Xiu lamented: "I am old, but...but after seeing such young people today, I feel that I can still work for another ten years."
He raised his head, with determination in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I can still work for ten more years. At least I have to watch these young people stand firm before they die!"
His eyes gradually turned red, and he said: "Back then, as an admonishment officer, I could only watch Fan Wenzheng and the others sadly leave Bianliang. I... I am incompetent, Your Majesty! I still feel aggrieved when I think about it. If Do it again...Your Majesty, is it possible?"
He looked at Zhao Zhen eagerly. Because of the distance, the emperor in his sight was blurry, as if he was in the waves.
Zhao Zhen felt a surge of air rushing into his chest. He was about to stand up with a red face, but finally calmed down.
His eyes were a little cold and a little sad.
No one understands better than him what the Qingli New Deal went through.
He thought of those undercurrents and the rebellion in the palace that year...
Those people... are so crazy!
He couldn't help but shudder, and then said: "I understand."
This is the safest answer.
It didn't hurt Ouyang Xiu's heart, but he felt that he needed to say something more, so he stood up and said, "How about you and I getting together here in ten years?"
Ouyang Xiu was disappointed and bowed to thank him.
…
News can never be blocked, and there were so many people present that even Zhao Zhen had no way of knowing who would quietly spread today's words.
It was only after noon when there were rumors outside. It was said that Shen Anjian had promised to strictly investigate the misappropriation of public funds, which caused a lot of undercurrents.
After the dignitaries had lunch, another news came.
"Shen An proposed to clean up redundant officials, saying that those human corpses were like worms, only eating the flesh and blood of the Song Dynasty."
The atmosphere in Bianliang City froze for a moment, and the powerful officials were a little surprised.
After Fan Zhongyan, does anyone dare to mention this matter?
This is to dig out the roots of my waiting!
Fan Zhongyan couldn't hold us back then, so he was still the prime minister. How dare a young boy do this now?
Damn it! This kid really doesn’t know how to live or die!
The dignitaries were originally laughing at Shen An's cessation of activities, but felt that he was shrinking, so they felt proud.
But today's words were like a slap in the face, like Shen An's retaliation, which made their faces hurt.
The next day, Shen An appeared outside the imperial city again as if he was unaware of the rumors outside.
silence!
Countless eyes were looking at him.
Shen An felt like the HR manager of a company currently planning to lay off employees.
The dignitaries and ministers in front of us are employees. They feel that they should not be laid off. Whoever dares to lay off us will be killed.
These employees are accumulating hostility at this moment, just like they did against Fan Zhongyan back then.
It's just that Fan Zhongyan is famous all over the world and has a high position, so they have to pay attention to their fighting methods. Finally, through pressure, they successfully drive away the fool.
Now here comes another idiot, and he's so young that it's shocking.
This idiot has no rights, he's just a fool.
You can't just sit back and watch! Otherwise, in the future, anyone can shout loudly, and it will become a big deal by then.
Those people shout that Sanduan is a big problem. They shout it every year, but it is more like a slogan to show that they are concerned about the country and the people, and then it disappears.
But Shen An is different, this guy knows how to do evil things. The victims of the disaster were organized into Xiangjun, but he was the one who messed it up.
So be on high alert!
Shen An walked to the stall nearby. Guoguo slept in in the morning and woke up a little late. Shen An was worried that she would be sick, so she delayed for a while and didn't eat breakfast.
He is going to buy some pot stickers.
He doesn't walk fast, but his back is very straight.
People who often exercise early in the morning have this experience. When they walk, their waist is straight and their feet are like springs.
The hawker was smiling, thinking that it was a huge honor for Shen An to eat the pot stickers he made.
He was smiling, but suddenly he was a little stunned. UU reading www. uukanshu. net
Just as Shen An was wary, he heard an old voice shouting: "Be careful!"
Shen An turned around without hesitation and swung away with his fist.
Boom!
The swinging punch relies on the strength of the waist and abdomen and the inertia of turning, so it is very powerful.
Shen An only felt his fist hit the human body, and then saw someone fall down.
There was a burst of exclamation around, and then everyone looked at Ouyang Xiu.
Old Ouyang was behind just now, so he could see clearly that someone was preparing to hit Shen An.
"He killed someone!"
A scream tore through the darkness of the early morning, and countless people were watching. They opened their mouths, and white air came out of their mouths, looking like...
A herd of horses!
A bunch of restless horses!
The officer who fell to the ground was twitching, and the punch knocked him unconscious. Fortunately, it didn't hit the vital point, otherwise someone would have been killed.
Shen An looked at the officials, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "He attacked them sneakily."
Someone said angrily: "He just patted you on the shoulder!"
…
Shen An: But not everyone can pat my shoulder! Dear book friends, please give me a monthly pass and take pictures as you like.
Jazz: Where is your moral integrity?
Shen An: "Integrity...what is that thing? Can it be eaten? Braised or steamed..."
