A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 484: Zhao Zhongzhen Is Extremely Capable

In the past few decades, Zhao Zhen's biggest obsession has been to have a son, but several premature deaths made him finally lose confidence.

At this time, his sense of responsibility was finally awakened.

Why! Wake up, if you don’t find an heir, the Song Dynasty will be in chaos after your death!

So the obsession gradually dissipated, and he chose Zhao Zongshi as his successor.

At that time, Zhao Zongshi performed well in the palace and was considered excellent.

But after not understanding it for many years, Zhao Zhen was unsure.

Today, Zhao Zongshi had a verbal battle with the ministers and finally won a great victory, which finally made Zhao Zhen feel relieved.

An emperor's ability is not reflected in governing the country. His greatest ability should be in commanding his ministers.

That means knowing how to use people!

But you have to be strong to forge iron. As an emperor, you must be steady!

What does it mean to be stable?

Just don’t be bullied or led around by your ministers!

Take a look at the weak and weak emperors in history... How many of them ended well?

Such emperors will end sooner or later, and most of them will be the gravediggers of the dynasty.

He is very satisfied now.

But what he didn't know was that the first thing the Thirteenth Prince did after taking over in his previous life was to fight with the officials.

For the sake of his biological father's status, he did not hesitate to confront the officials until he achieved his goal.

How could such a person be led by his ministers?

Zhao Zhen thought of the hero of this matter and looked at Han Qi.

"Han Qing has been having a hard time recently. I sent the imperial doctor back to take a look."

This is condolences: Old Han! You forced me to establish a prince in the first place. It is a credit to me that I have thought this through clearly.

Han Qi felt proud, but sincerely said: "I only wish your Majesty long live... As for me, I am in very good health and can eat ten pieces of cake for each meal."

This was naturally a cliche, but it was quite auspicious and made Zhao Zhen smile slightly. He looked at Han Qi's figure and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

This handsome Korean husband back then, if Shen An were here, he would definitely say that Han Qi used to be a little fresh meat, but now he has turned into an old bacon, so fat that people are speechless.

He then looked at Sima Guang, who was also an old bacon, and also fat.

In the end, Sima Guang made a great effort to establish the prince, and he achieved great success.

"Sima Qing works hard by my side. I heard that you like to eat meat. I will send some fat sheep over later."

This is a different kind of praise and condolences.

Sima Guang went out to thank him, but he felt a little resentful.

Most people today only eat two meals, breakfast and dinner, but no lunch.

But the time between breakfast and dinner is too long, which makes people very hungry.

When people are hungry, they will think of tricks. Some people will eat snacks at noon, but Sima Guang's trick is to eat more.

There is no problem in eating more, but the stomach cannot be infinite, so he eats meat as hard as he can.

Especially at dinner, the most common thing on Sima Guang's table was meat.

According to him, if you eat more meat for dinner and sleep comfortably, the next day's lunch will not be so difficult.

Sima Guang thanked him and went back. The atmosphere became more relaxed. Someone smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I forgot to mention that Zhao Zhongzhen seems to be fine, but there is just something..."

He glanced at Zhao Zhen and saw that he was just displeased, so he continued: "I'm afraid that young man has a somewhat impatient personality. He even beat up Chen Ting last time... Of course, this matter has nothing to do with him. It's just that people who are close to Zhu are red." …”

——Your Majesty, Shen Anke has led Zhao Zhongzhen into trouble!

That siege left a very deep impression on the officials.

Such Zhao Zhongzhen, if he becomes the prince or emperor in the future, will he punch his ministers if he becomes unhappy one day?

Think about that picture...it's so beautiful that I dare not look at it.

The emperor beat his ministers, and this history book cannot be written.

Sima Guang left the class and said: "Your Majesty, since the prince has been decided, the subsequent teachings must also follow. Zhao Zhongzhen is the prince's eldest son, but he cannot be allowed to indulge. I thought I should select people to go to Yulin Lane. If I don't take advantage of this, If you correct it now, I'm afraid you will have to..."

You look old at three years old, Your Majesty!

Zhao Zhongzhen is now as presumptuous as a little wolf, no matter what happens.

Zhao Zhen felt a little embarrassed and wanted to say he was young, but that was Zhao Zongshi's eldest son, and he might be the future prince. Such a young man is not qualified to act impulsively and should be prudent.

"This matter...the child has changed a lot now..."

The officials were stumped, so Ouyang Xiu obliged and came out to stand.

He said seriously: "Shen An takes him to sit quietly for half an hour every day to reflect on himself..."

Zhao Zhen's cheeks couldn't help but tremble.

For God's sake, would Shen An sit quietly for half an hour and reflect on himself?

During the half hour he had, the most likely way was to sleep in or think about a delicious dish.

Ouyang Xiu's eyesight was not good, so he couldn't see this. He said sincerely: "Later, he learned some Buddhism. I heard that he now refuses to see living animals being slaughtered... Benevolence, this is benevolence! "

Bao Zheng turned his face away, not wanting to see that serious old face that was telling lies.

"Now, let alone beating people, he is reluctant to whip even his own horse. This kind heart is in line with His Majesty's. It can be seen that there is God's will in the dark. This is His Majesty's kindness that has moved the heaven and earth, and God has sent blessings. Ze, protect the Song Dynasty..."

Ouyang Xiu is a great writer, so he naturally talks in one way and talks endlessly.

"Who hasn't had their youth?"

Ouyang Xiu said plausibly: "The youthful spirit will eventually pass. The child is now mature and will definitely not make such mistakes again in the future. If he does it again, I am willing to..."

"Your Majesty, Shen An would like to see you."

Ouyang Xiu spoke smoothly, but there were still hundreds of words of draft before he was interrupted.

He looked at the sound angrily, and then muttered: "The front part is just nonsense, but it's a pity that the back part..."

Later, Shen An came, and Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "But have you found out?"

"yes."

Shen An reported: "Your Majesty, I and Zhao Zhongzhen went to Wenfeng Village. There was only one family left in the whole village... Most of those houses were demolished. After careful investigation, I found that a local tycoon, Chen Min, was behind the trouble... "

"Wenfeng Village was hit by an insect infestation this year. Chen Min took advantage of the situation and lent usury to the villagers. He agreed to pay it back in six months. But not long after, Chen Min came to collect the debt. If he didn't comply, he would beat him and even threaten to set fire to the house. …”

"etc!"

Sima Guang frowned and asked: "There must be IOUs for those debts. Isn't the time limit for repayment clearly written on them?"

yes! Even Zhao Zhen found it strange.

Shen An smiled bitterly and said: "Most of those farmers have never seen much of the world, and Chen Min is a local gentry, and his family is extremely wealthy... At that time, the IOU stated half a month. Some people questioned it, and Chen Min said it was written incorrectly. , but it would be troublesome to re-write it. We are all from the countryside, and half a year means half a year..."

He thought of the scams in later generations, very simple methods, but countless people were fooled.

"He said it in front of the farmers, and everyone believed it. But not long after, he turned his back on him..."

"So shameless?"

Wang Anshi was the first to react and said angrily: "Have these people... got it?"

Shen An nodded, and then the people from the Imperial City Department arrived.

Shen An took a look and realized that this guy was actually a clerk who followed him.

The Imperial City Secretary actually dug a hole for me?

Is Zhang Ba8 too much?

On the way back, he used threats and inducements. He thought that the officials who followed him had been silenced, but he didn't expect that Zhang Baibian had already sent undercover agents.

"His Majesty……"

The clerk began to tell the story of the trip, "...Zhao Zhongzhen cried when he saw Chang Er's family..."

This is a kind boy.

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly.

All the ministers nodded.

As long as you are kind, no matter how bad you are, nothing will happen.

This is the same line of descent!

Thinking that a benevolent king would appear again in the Song Dynasty, the officials couldn't help but feel happy.

"...I went all the way to find that Chen Min. He looked gentle and elegant...Zhao Zhongzhen suddenly got angry and punched Chen Min, but Chen Min had no power to fight back..."

Zhao Zhen was stunned...

Ouyang Xiucai assured that Zhao Zhongzhen has changed and behaved now.

Is this what has changed?

Someone murmured: "Is this what it looks like to learn Buddhism?"

Is this Buddhism learned incorrectly?

Sima Guang felt funny in his heart, "I can't bear to whip my own horse...but now I can beat people."

Ouyang Xiu's old face had no place to rest, and he only felt hot.

I was slapped in the face as soon as I endorsed him. Fortunately, I didn't say the last sentence, otherwise I would be really embarrassed to see others.

The clerk didn't know what happened just now, so he continued talking calmly: "... Zhao Zhongzhen's boxing skills are pretty good, and he seems to have few flaws. It's just that his kick skills are lacking in strength. The villain thought he could tie a sandbag and practice hard, so for three It will be a success in five years..."

The topic changed so quickly and seamlessly.

Han Qi shouted with a black line on his face: "Let's get down to business."

The clerk then realized that he was off topic and quickly said: "Yes, yes. Later, Shen An sat back and watched Zhao Zhongzhen beating Chen Min. Others tried to persuade him, and he said that if he was beaten to death, he would be someone..."

Zhao Zhen covered his forehead, feeling extremely helpless.

Is this what is called guidance?

Why is Shen An sitting in meditation with Zhao Zhongzhen for half an hour every day...Are you deceiving me?

This is obviously spending half an hour every day practicing how to hit people, right?

Ouyang Xiu couldn't stand it anymore, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.net muttered: "There must be a reason. I know that kid Shen An, so there must be a reason for everything."

Sima Guang said with a straight face: "The beating of Chen Ting last time can be said to be revenge, but what about this time? What big grudge does Chen Min have against him this time? He was so cruel. And Shen An just sat back and did nothing. This is connivance!”

He raised his head and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, we must pay attention to this matter, otherwise... I am worried that it will get out of control in the future."

It doesn’t matter if you’re young, but you can’t control it if you’re older!

Many people know this truth, so they all nod slightly.

Zhao Zhen had a headache and asked, "Why is it like this?"

Shen An said innocently: "Indignation."

"indignation?"

Sima Guang frowned and said: "There are many things that deserve indignation in the world. If we take action every time we are indignant, where is the law? Where are the rules?"

Everyone nodded. In the eyes of these people, rules are paramount. If the rules are frequently broken, then the country will be ruined.

Shen An took a deep breath and said, "Have you ever seen those refugees?"

There was undisguised disdain in his expression. Bao Zheng's eyes were good, and his heart trembled.

This kid is going to get angry...
