Chapter 504: Use Bamboo Poles to Scatter the Dark Clouds in the Sky

The spring light added some tender green to the branches. A white and tender hand touched the young leaves, and the young buds bounced a little, and then stood in the spring breeze, full of vitality.

"This is the last spring you will spend at home. Mom looks at you as if she has seen spring. You are a girl with bright eyes and white teeth! It reminds me of my own past."

Ms. Li has become a bit nagging recently, looking at the dowry list over and over again and checking those things again and again.

Yang Zhuoxue turned around and pouted: "Mom, I'm in Bianliang. I can come back to see you then."

Li touched her face lovingly and said, "That's not good. People will gossip about her."

Yang Zhuoxue wrinkled her nose and said: "Mom, he said that people should live to be at ease without affecting the freedom of others. This is the purpose of people's life. We are not afraid of others gossiping."

Mrs. Li looked at him in astonishment and suddenly burst into laughter.

She smiled very freely. Yang Zhuoxue was puzzled and frowned at her.

Mrs. Li had laughed enough, reached out to touch the non-existent tears at the corner of her eyes, and said: "My daughter! When men speak... Mom, I will teach you to be a good boy today. You can only believe half of what this man says. Now say it nicely, wait. From now on... men are always fond of the new and dislike the old. My daughter, you have to be careful in the future, otherwise the more you expect now, the more disappointment you will have in the future."

Yang Zhuoxue was a little confused: "Mom, what did you say?"

Mrs. Li covered her forehead and said, "Well, if you don't know this yet, then don't know... at least it will make you happier."

The days before getting married are the last joys. From now on, you will wash your hands and cook for your husband, sew clothes for him, and worry about him...

When you have children, you will find that your life has passed by in a blink of an eye, and you are not prepared at all.

Yang Zhuoxue was in a carefree state, while Ah Qing was busy inside and outside, inquiring about news.

"Little lady, little lady!"

Ah Qing hurried to the backyard and saw Yang Zhuoxue standing under the tree, staring at the birds on the roof, and said, "Something's wrong. Mr. Shen has something."

"What's up?"

Yang Zhuoxue clapped her hands and the bird flew away. She couldn't help but pout in disappointment.

Ah Qing said: "Many people in the city say he is crazy and wants to kill people!"

"Um?"

Yang Zhuoxue tilted her head, thought about the Shen An she knew, then shook her head and said, "No, he won't."

Ah Qing stamped her feet and said, "My little lady! It's spread all over the place."

Yang Zhuoxue stepped inside with light steps, as if she would jump up and down the next moment.

After going up the steps, she turned around quickly and her skirt swayed, which was really beautiful.

"I believe him."

…

The official who leaked the information was protected.

The Privy Council... no, it should be strongly protected by the Privy Council envoy Zhang Sheng.

"I won't give in!"

Zhang Sheng's tough statement won the respect of his subordinates and also caused everyone to cheer.

Mr. Zhang is the backbone of my Privy Council!

For a time, Zhang Sheng was in the limelight.

It was in this atmosphere that Shen An walked into the Privy Council.

As if Zhang Sheng had known he would come, he personally brewed tea to entertain the guests.

A charcoal basin was burning silently beside it, and the temperature in the room was suitable.

Shen An's eyes turned from the items on the table to Zhang Sheng's face.

"The Privy Council is in debt to someone."

He didn't drink tea. Zhang Sheng said with a smile: "Yes, the ceremony room has made many meritorious deeds, and you have done a great job."

Shen An said: "I heard that the new deputy Chengzhi is not very competent and boasts a lot."

Zhang Sheng said with some embarrassment: "Did you come here today for something?"

Tang Ren went to Fuzhou, and the Vice-Chairman of the Privy Council was replaced.

This newcomer is called Feng Li. It is said that he has some connections with powerful people. He is very arrogant in the Privy Council. He boasts of his unparalleled abilities, but there are no results in actual work.

This kind of people can be found everywhere in the official circles of the Song Dynasty, which is not surprising.

Shen An smiled and said, "I don't like this person."

I don't like him, so don't expect me to advise the Privy Council in the future.

Zhang Sheng said solemnly: "Whether you like him or not, he is a deputy minister. Whether you like him or not, he will support the four rooms of the Privy Council. I don't think Feng Li will have any problems when dealing with people from Liao and Xixia."

As a privy envoy, he must support his subordinates. This is the key to officialdom.

Shen An smiled and said, "I heard that Chen Ang was left idle after he returned from Fuzhou. Everyone was laughing at him for colluding with warriors... What does Mr. Zhang think?"

Zhang Sheng narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't know."

"good!"

Shen An stood up and said: "The Liao people thought that the Mangshan Army was dead, and they would bring the corpses of the Mangshan Army to the Song Dynasty to seek justice. Recently, the Liao envoy was preparing to meet with officials... and the cause of all this was the people from the Privy Council Leak."

He stood up, nodded slightly, and left.

The door was opened, light shone in, and a man came in and saluted: "I have seen Zhang Xiang."

"Feng Li?"

Zhang Sheng said calmly: "What's the matter?"

Feng Li was very good-looking. He smiled and said, "I heard that the Liao envoy was going to meet with the official. In the past, I would go to the ceremonial room first to find out the details. I would like to ask Prime Minister Zhang if I can meet with the Liao envoy?"

This is a routine, but this routine was brought by Shen An.

Do you want to meet the Emperor of Song Dynasty?

Can.

But you have to meet other people first and exchange ideas.

This is a basic survey and then provided to the emperor for reference. Zhao Zhen admired this model very much, and it has since become the practice of the Privy Council.

Zhang Sheng remembered that his previous attitude was a bit stiff, so he smiled bitterly to himself and said, "Go ahead."

Feng Li left the duty room, walked slowly to the door, chatted with the doorman for a few words, and said, "I heard that some people say that I don't know how to deal with envoys from various countries without certain people in the privy room of the Privy Council?"

Menzi knew that there was a powerful figure behind him, so he smiled and said, "You haven't heard of it."

Shen An didn't bother with this at all. He taught diplomacy directly to the officials in the ceremonial room, but Tang Ren learned the most and was the best.

There was an unknown smile on Feng Li's handsome face, and he said with his hands behind his hands: "Every family has its own knowledge. Some people think too highly of themselves, but they don't know how big the world is. They are just frogs at the bottom of a well."

Then the news spread that someone in the Privy Council said that Shen An was a frog in the well.

Zhao Zhongzhen was so angry that he climbed over the wall and entered Shen's house.

Now the two families are separated by a wall, and Zhao Zhongzhen occasionally has a boyish temperament that crosses the wall, and he doesn't even care about Huahua.

Wang Yu also came.

But Shen An was talking to someone.

Chen Ang felt very depressed when he saw that his pride in Fuzhou was gone.

"Xiaguan didn't expect it to be like this. He said he was colluding with the Zhe family. Xiaguan didn't even take a sip of the wine from the Zhe family. What's the purpose? Isn't it just to join forces to deal with the threat of the Xixia people? But those people just have I regard joining forces as collusion, collusion with what? I really don’t know!"

He smiled bitterly, looked tired, and looked more than ten years older.

People have different purposes for living, and different pursuits at different ages are also different.

What do officials like Chen Ang who are struggling on the border want to pursue?

Be an official!

Become a high official!

A very simple request.

But now his pursuit has been cut off.

"They don't arrange things for the lower officials, so they live off their empty salary every month... It's not easy to live in Bianliang, and the lower officials can still suffer, but when will the days when they can't see the light come to an end! "

Chen Ang glanced at Shen An and said: "The lower official is desperate. I wanted to come and ask for an imperial edict... But when I think about it, this matter is not just a yamen matter, but a conflict between military personnel and civil officials, but it is useless. There’s still a way to go, hey! That’s all.”

Shen An glanced at him and said, "Then what are you doing here?"

These words were very rude. Chen Ang stood up and said awkwardly: "Come here..."

I feel helpless and lost and want to find someone to talk to.

"In Bianliang, the only person I knew was waiting for the imperial edict, but today I'm sorry to bother you, so I have to say goodbye."

"etc."

Shen An suddenly stopped him and asked: "I remember when I went to Fuzhou, although you had some problems as a civil servant, you were still flexible. Have you ever dealt with Xixia people before?"

Chen Ang didn't know why he asked this. "After dealing with them, sometimes they would say that a group of horses were lost, and then they came to negotiate, and it was always the lower officials who came forward to deal with it."

Shen An nodded slightly and said, "Just wait, don't run around anymore, it's embarrassing!"

When Chen Ang heard this, his eyes became hot, his heart felt sour, and tears fell down.

"Xiaguan doesn't want to be like this, but...but Xiaguan has made meritorious service in Fuzhou, why is he being left out in the cold when he returns to Bianliang? It's unfair, this treatment is unfair."

"It's unfair."

Shen An said: "These injustices will continue. If these injustices are dark clouds, then Shen hopes that one day he can use a bamboo pole to disperse these dark clouds. Are you willing to hold a bamboo pole?"

Chen Ang felt his heartbeat intensify and his lips trembled uncontrollably.

Is this to recruit someone?

Shen An looked at him and said, "It's okay if you're scared."

Wang Anshi later recruited many so-called like-minded people, but many of them were speculative.

Chen Ang smiled bitterly and said: "Xiaguan has no future at this moment. Whatever he says is empty talk. That's it. I'll take my leave."

He was too embarrassed to talk to Shen An and said that he would be your Shen An's from now on.

His wife and children are also in Bianliang, and now the family rents in a cramped place, which can be described as destitute.

He was in despair, but his arrogance made him refuse to bow his head.

I'm not here to beg.

To become a member of Shen An's gang, you must have capital, whether it is to be an official or a businessman. At this moment, Chen Ang is just a useless official, so what qualifications do he have to agree to Shen An's recruitment?

If you agree, you are a diner.

After returning to the rented place all the way, his wife and children were waiting for him. Seeing his sad expression, they didn't dare to ask questions.

Chen Ang looked at the miserable expressions of his wife and children, and his anger was uncontrollable.

But who can this anger be directed at?

I can only hold it in myself.

He remembered Shen An's previous words to let him wait. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

"What are you waiting for? There's nothing left."

In the Liao embassy, ​​Feng Li had already met with the Liao envoy.

"The Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty are as close as brothers. The so-called rural soldiers entering the Liao territory are lies. Someone is spreading rumors to cause trouble!"

Feng Li felt that diplomacy was about being shameless, and he was right.

If we talk about who is shameless in the world, regardless of ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, most powerful people would say they are second, and no one would dare to say they are first.

And he is the queen of the powerful.

Therefore, he considered himself to be quite accomplished in the art of shamelessness, and even more outstanding than Tang Ren. Tang Ren's flattering way of dealing with the outside world made him quite disdainful, let alone learn from it.

The Liao envoy looked at him blankly, with contempt flashing in his eyes, and shouted: "This is an invasion! This is a provocation to Daliao! Just wait, wait for those heads to be sent, and Daliao will come with him. The cavalry... This time the Liao Dynasty will definitely drink the Yellow River and march to Bianliang."

Feng Li smiled and said: "I'm afraid your words are a bit biased..."

"roll!"

The Liao envoy pointed in the direction of the gate and shouted.

What?

You actually told me to get out?

Feng Li couldn't believe his ears.
