A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 706: Rehabilitating Shen Bian

"The rich phase is fine, just a little dizzy and the internal organs are shaking."

Zhao Shu covered his forehead and said: "You are a big boss, why are you so stubborn?"

Chen Zhongheng knew the reason, and so did Zhao Shu, but he was happy to see the discord between the prime ministers and assistants, so that he could balance the government.

Chen Zhongheng said with lingering fear: "Guan Jia, at that time there was an explosion... I only felt that my eyes were red first, and then black. At that time, I thought I was dead, but I still didn't dare to pour... That gunpowder... I thought It’s something that shouldn’t be human, it’s too scary.”

Still don't dare to fall, it's because you are behind!

This loyalty was expressed appropriately. Zhao Shu's face looked better and he fell into deep thought...

His fingers were tapping a document on the desk slowly.

"Shen An's friendship with Zhong Zhen back then was a mistake..."

"Zhong Zhen was whipped by him many times..."

"I don't have anything to fight for."

Zhao Shu laughed, "That miscellaneous student... the explosion in the county prince's palace was more powerful than today's gunpowder, and all the surrounding houses were destroyed... That young man and that miscellaneous scholar were so powerful, if they had been He is not coming to Bianliang with his sister on his back, but heading north from Xiongzhou, and the Song Dynasty will have one more powerful enemy..."

Chen Zhongheng was excited, "Yes! The Song Dynasty can't do anything with just gunpowder. When the time comes, the Liao people can use gunpowder to blow open the city gates, and there will be no strong city in the world."

Anyone who has seen the power of new gunpowder will come to the conclusion that a fortified city cannot be defended.

Zhao Shu said calmly: "After Shen Bian disappeared, the judges and others in Xiongzhou sat back and watched Shen An's brother and sister fall into disgrace. No one cared about them, which can be called cold-blooded. Shen An carried his sister to Beijing, and he was taking risks along the way... This time He has made great achievements, but I can't ignore it..."

He stood up and walked out, followed by Chen Zhongheng.

It's a bit hot outside and the sky is covered with dark clouds...

"I'm told that all three people who served in Xiongzhou during the past three years under Jiayou, including the self-judge and the following, will be deposed..."

Chen Zhongheng lowered his head and responded, then ran away.

The servants around were a little frightened.

Are the officials trying to vindicate Shen Bian?

After Shen Bian disappeared, Shen An's brother and sister were in a very difficult situation, otherwise Shen An would not have taken his sister on a long journey.

Zhao Shu put his hands behind his hands and looked at the dark clouds, and said calmly: "I have also heard about Shen Bian. He is an aggressive official who is not liked by his colleagues, but his heart can be learned from the sun!"

The chamberlain behind him suddenly raised his head, and then said in a trembling voice: "Yes, I will go and deliver the message right now."

This is vindication!

The waiter ran away all the way. Chen Zhongheng had just finished delivering the message, while Han Qi and others were confused.

Jiayou three years...

"Xiongzhou, Jiayou for three years, is this for Shen An's reward?"

Han Qi came to the conclusion just by thinking about it, and Chen Zhongheng said with a straight face: "I don't know, but please do your best and don't make the officials unhappy."

Zeng Gongliang said: "This matter...that's all, they did what they did back then."

Ouyang Xiu said: "When Shen An was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he carried his sister all the way to Bianliang. He dared to take such a dangerous road. It can be seen that the officials of Xiongzhou did not give their brothers and sisters a way to survive. Now the officials are furious. It’s also appropriate.”

Han Qi nodded and said: "Tell the officials, I will take the order."

After Chen Zhongheng left, Han Qi smiled bitterly and said: "The new gunpowder is a great achievement, but the government can't reward it anymore. He has nothing to do with Shen An, and he is worried that the kid will break someone's leg again... By the way, this merit can be rewarded Whose leg will be broken? Can I save my leg?"

Of course what he said was a joke, but Ouyang Xiu didn't laugh.

"It is a taboo of ministers not to reward high merit. If Shen An wants to offset it, he will probably... Zhao Yunbi?"

"Your Majesty has an order!"

While everyone was thinking about the possibility of Ouyang Xiu's words, a waiter rushed in from outside.

"Your Majesty has an order. The former magistrate of Xiongzhou, Shen Bian's heart, can be learned from the sun."

Han Qi was just about to scold the servant who suddenly barged in, but when he heard this, he said numbly: "Yes, I know it."

This is a message.

Zhao Shu's request was to spread the word and use authoritative channels. The most authoritative channel is naturally Zaifu's mouth.

"This is vindication!"

Zeng Gongliang said enviously: "Although Shen Bian made people unhappy when he was alive, he had a good son! This son stirred up the Song Dynasty court with his own strength, and he even used his merits to make the officials rehabilitate him. . With a son like this, even Shen Bian can smile even under Jiuquan."

Ouyang Xiu sighed: "Shen Bian came to see me back then and said something... The articles and poems should be more heroic, don't ask for love, let alone write something that beats the railings and makes the bones of the Song Dynasty go soft." Already..."

Well!

Han Qi felt that Ouyang Xiu was unlucky enough to be ridiculed by Shen Bian like this.

Ouyang Xiu claimed to be the leader of the literary world and the first person to innovate in literary style. However, he was questioned by Shen Bian as a decadent voice that was of no use to the country or the people. This was almost humiliating.

"He said that the poems in the Han and Tang Dynasties were so heroic that people just wanted to draw their swords and kill people. Today's poems are more graceful, neither male nor female, and the poems are full of melancholy. But when men are alive, there are not so many Love and melancholy? Those are useless moans and groans, boring! They will only make people in the world weak and lose their manliness!"

Ouyang Xiu laughed self-deprecatingly, "I was also angry at that time, and asked people to see off the guests. Before Shen Bian left, he said that he would watch the performances of the Dukes of the Central Dynasty in Xiongzhou, and after his death, he would also watch the big show at the top of Xiongzhou City. How the Song army fled in embarrassment..."

Han Qi was silent for a long time and said: "He is desperate. After hitting the wall everywhere..."

"... Shen Bian was desperate at that time. None of the civil and military officials in the dynasty supported his suggestions. The army preparations for war and the cleaning up of the three redundancies were all commonplaces of Fan Zhongyan. However, Shen Bian was more radical and wished he could do it right away. Send out a strong army and start the Northern Expedition..."

The sky was slightly dark, and there was faint thunder in the distance.

Shen Mi stood outside the house, looking at the dark clouds in the sky with his hands behind his hands, annoyance growing on his brows.

Mrs. Liang was beside him, looking uncomfortable: "Guanren, Shen Bian, who was hated by people in the past, came to our house once and kept talking about innovation. Official, didn't you also prevaricate at that time? "

Shen Mi ignored her and murmured: "After despair, Shen Bian went to Xiongzhou. I don't know what he wanted to do. I once wrote to him, but there was no response. Later, I heard that he was training in Xiongzhou, He also often goes to survey the border terrain... This is not a civil official, but a military man."

Liang asked: "No one cares about him?"

"In everyone's eyes, he is a big trouble, so just ignore him if you can."

Shen Mi lamented, "He went to Xiongzhou almost to banishment. Everyone felt that their ears were quiet, but the officials in Xiongzhou were worried, worried that the governor would suddenly go crazy and provoke the Liao people. Therefore, after Shen Bian disappeared, Shen An and Guoguo has no one to take care of her... This is just to vent her anger."

"After learning about Shen Bian's disappearance, I thought you would send someone north to pick them up, but you just sat back and watched..."

Shen Mi looked sideways at his wife, his brows indifferent: "You were worried about being implicated at first, but today Shen An is shining brightly. Did you know that even officials have to worry about his rewards?"

Liang's face turned pale and she murmured: "No way..."

Shen Mi sneered and said: "New news is that all three of Shen Bian's subordinates from the judge on down have been deposed. Do you know what deposing is? It means dismissing them from office and letting them go home to hang out... For officials, that's Life is worse than death. Do you know what this means? This is venting anger for brother and sister Shen An!"

Ms. Liang took a step back, leaned against the door frame, and said sadly: "How could this happen? When he first came to Bianliang, he was just a down-and-out young man with an ignorant Guoguo. I thought that their brother and sister would be in Bianliang." Liang Chengzhong...begs for a living, and waits until no one comes to trouble their brothers and sisters before taking action, so as not to offend anyone."

"besides."

Shen Mi took a deep breath, "Then the official sent another message, saying that Shen Bian's heart in boxing can be learned from the sun... Do you know what this is?"

No matter how stupid Liang was, she knew the meaning of these words. She clutched her chest, feeling so tight that she couldn't breathe, and her head was buzzing, as if there were ten thousand bees flying inside.

"This is the government trying to vindicate Shen Bian!"

"Who can make the officials rehabilitate?"

Mrs. Liang's face turned pale and her body gradually declined, "Official, I...I regret it..."

"..."

Shen Mi strode away. He just made an excuse that something happened at home and he had to do something quickly.

"Madam... Madam, what's wrong with you?" A servant woman exclaimed.

Mrs. Liang fell softly by the door. Shen Mi turned around, took a look, shook his head and said, "Invite the doctor."

As he returned to the Qunmu Department, someone said, "Judge Shen, the Qunmu Envoy asked you to go there."

Shen Mi agreed and went to check the room.

Fan Ying, the herdsman of the group, was very kind and said enthusiastically when they met: "Zi Chen has just arrived at the herd department. Is there any inconvenience? If so, just tell me."

Shen Mi's heart skipped a beat and she said, "Thank you for your concern. No."

Fan Ying seems to be a good person, but the change in his eyes can tell that this person is not simple.

His previous attitude towards Shen Mi was normal, even a little indifferent.

But today this attitude suddenly changed and became so friendly.

Why is this?

Fan Ying smiled and said: "You used to be an official in Yizhou. The mountains and rivers there are dangerous and difficult, but you have been there for many years, which shows that you can endure hardships. Now that the officials have succeeded to the throne, it is the time when they want to make a difference. Officials like you who can endure hardships must work hard, and I will talk to the ministers from time to time..."

The meaning in these words is too obvious, almost like Chi Guoguo's wooing.

You work hard, and I will speak well of you in front of the ministers when I get the chance.

Shen Mi stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you so much for the kindness of the pastoral envoys. I will definitely have the courage to do my job as a low-ranking official and will not dare to slack off. UU read www.uukanshu.net "

"Sit down, sit down!"

Fan Ying smiled and pressed her hands, and then asked someone to bring tea.

The two chatted about other things, and Fan Ying also gave some advice on Ma Zheng of the Song Dynasty.

The Department of Animal Husbandry is in charge of horses. Since the Song Dynasty was short of horses, the Department of Animal Husbandry had a heavy responsibility.

Fan Ying had been an official for many years and knew the situation in the Qunmu Division very well, and Shen Mi benefited a lot from her words.

"...I heard...your surname is Shen too. I heard that you are related to Shen An?"

Fan Ying asked very naturally, as if she was asking what snacks should be eaten for lunch.

But Shen Mi was sitting on pins and needles. He stood up and said: "Herdsman, I'm going to lower my official position..."

The smile on Fan Ying's face gradually faded, and Shen Mi sighed in her heart and said, "They are relatives."

The smile returned.

Shen Mi wanted to strangle his wife to death at this moment, but he did not dare to hide it. He could only say vaguely: "Xiaoguan is Shen An's cousin, but he has not moved around for many years... I am ashamed to say it, Xiaguan... you You know, Xiaguan is an official in Yizhou and has been away from the Central Plains for many years, so these relatives are often estranged..."

Fan Ying nodded slightly, her smile calmed down again, and said: "Work hard from now on. Come and sit down if you have anything to do."

"Yes, thank you to the pastoral envoys."

After Shen Mi excused himself and left the check-in room, he looked at the dark clouds that were gradually getting lower and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Shen An's future was so promising that even Fan Ying wanted to have a relationship with him. Even though she knew that her relationship with Shen An was not harmonious, she still wanted to be nice and even offered him some benefits.

That nephew was so powerful, which made the Liang family even more stupid back then!

"What evil have I done!"
