Chapter 774: Follow the Herd
"The Divine Warriors..."
Zhao Shu's face turned cold and he said: "The Divine Warrior Army is no longer useful. Many ministers say it should be cancelled. I deeply agree. What can you say? If it affects the morale of the army, then don't say it."
"Guan Jia, this... this really affects morale."
Zhao Shu refused to let him go, but Shen An insisted on confronting him. Chen Zhongheng looked at the official's dark face and thought about going to Suona later.
"Those soldiers... more than 7,000 of them, once they disperse, what will they do as officials?"
Shen An said sincerely: "Without preparation, they will be helpless as a family after they return. Some people will find work to barely support their families, but some people have long been unable to adapt to the outside world because they have been in the military for a long time. They will spend their last savings and become beggars with their whole family... Official, is this what you want?"
"Yeah!" Zhao Shu snorted coldly, "Do you want to say that I am cruel?"
This is not Zhao Zhen. The emperor is very kind and willing to discuss repeatedly with his ministers.
Shen An frowned and said: "The official family... was disbanded after treason. No one can say anything wrong about this. But when the soldiers in the army see what happened to the Shen Yong Army, will they feel cold?"
The soldiers at this time did not have such a high level of consciousness, so they were easily deceived or incited.
Zhao Shu said coldly: "You are good at talking, but at that time Du Yuhou of the Divine Warrior Army could instigate 7,000 people to rebel with only a hundred confidants. Is it possible to use such soldiers? The Song Dynasty Forbidden Army had hundreds of thousands. What’s the point of waiting for the brave army to come?”
Disloyalty once, disloyalty a hundred times.
This is the way an emperor thinks.
Chen Zhongheng felt that Shen An was a bit stubborn and should not argue with the officials.
But he understood Shen An's eagerness.
Zhao Xu had just left the cabinet and expressed his opinion on something for the first time, but was opposed by the ministers.
This was a failed political participation process, which was a blow to Zhao Xu's prestige.
First time!
Will the ministers look down on the crown prince because of this?
Zhao Shu thought of this, so he suppressed the matter and did not express his position on the spot.
But judging from the conversation just now, Zhao Shu is inclined to disband the Divine Warrior Army.
And Shen An came to the rescue. After this incident, the first one to come was Shen An, and the second one...
Zhao Xu's subordinate officials made no movement, and neither did the ministers.
Sure enough, it’s still Shen An!
Chen Zhongheng admired him in his heart, but was not optimistic about his argument.
Loyalty is something that cannot be quantified. How can you, Shen An, prove the loyalty of the Divine Warriors?
This is Bianliang. The Shenyong Army is an army that guards Bianliang and protects the imperial city. But now this army has made officials and important ministers feel uneasy. What kind of thing is this!
"Officials, what those officers and soldiers have gone through would probably not be as bad if it were the army on the side..."
"What did you say?"
Zhao Shu was furious, stood up and said: "Are you despising my army? Are you despising the Imperial Army?"
Shen An's words opened a gap and told him, boss, the Imperial Army is not safe either!
This guy is seeking death!
Chen Zhongheng was thinking about whether to risk reminding him, but seeing Zhao Shu's serious look, all his plans were swallowed up.
"In the official family, the late emperor was kind and grieved when he died..."
There is nothing to refute this. Shen An continued: "At this time, Qin Zhanliang was bewitched by his confidants. When the soldiers were grieving, they were thinking about... that thing for the late emperor. This is called herd mentality... everyone is the same."
"Herd mentality?" Zhao Shu said coldly: "What is this? The knowledge of Mangshan lineage?"
"Yes, officials are wise."
Shen An's flattery was clearly not the right one, so Zhao Shu stood up and walked out, probably because he didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore.
Shen An followed, and when he was more than ten steps outside the palace, he suddenly said: "Guan family, I want to give it a try."
"What do you want to try?"
"I want to try the herd mentality." Shen An said: "I will stand here. Officials, you only need to watch in the hall. I promise that without saying a word, I will let people passing by follow me."
"Not a word?"
"right."
Zhao Shu nodded, "If it doesn't work out, then you will be like a big man and you will be banned until the New Year's Day meeting."
What rice?
Only then did Shen An know that Zhao Xu had been banned.
He smiled and said: "Yes, I am willing to give it a try."
Zhao Shu turned around, followed by Chen Zhongheng. As he passed by Shen An, he whispered: "The officials are protecting the king!"
Shen An nodded and raised his eyebrows at Chen Zhongheng to express his gratitude.
After the ban, Zhao Xu will not be able to go to court, and the matter will gradually subside. Zhao Shu will wait for the right time to abolish the Shen Yong Army.
The emperor's methods should have been vigorous and resolute, but when it came to his successor, Zhao Shu was still soft-handed.
He walked into the palace, picked up the memorial, and fell into endless state affairs again.
Chen Zhongheng glanced at Shen An outside and saw him looking up at the roof, as if in a daze.
What is this guy playing at?
The official has a bad temper. If he thought he could trick him into getting away, he would definitely not be able to escape.
There was sunshine outside, but it was only slightly warm. A gust of cold wind came out, and Shen An couldn't help but shiver.
This is Zhao Shu's territory, and palace officials would pass by on business from time to time.
It is the experience of officials in the Song Dynasty to always pass by the boss's room. Correspondingly, the palace also had this experience.
But this experience is a nightmare for Shen An.
In his previous life, his leader acted more casually. People in the workshop often ask for leave, and then someone has to find someone to take over. As an idle worker, Shen An was caught several times when he was passing by for work. From then on, he stayed as far away from the leader's office as possible.
Several chamberlains came over, and Shen An looked up at the roof of the hall, looking nervous.
what does this mean?
Several chamberlains stood behind him and looked up.
Shen An's expression became more and more nervous.
Later, several more palace maids came, and they followed curiously and watched.
After burning the incense, Chen Zhongheng, who made a cup of tea for Zhao Shu, turned around and exclaimed, "Where are there so many people?"
As soon as Zhao Shu picked up the tea cup, he lost his mood due to the exclamation, so he raised his head and said: "Get out!"
Well!
He was also dumbfounded.
There were actually more than twenty people standing behind Shen An outside at this moment, all looking towards the roof.
What does this mean?
What methods did Shen An use? Surprisingly, so many people gathered in just a short time.
Chen Zhongheng had been in the palace for many years and had never believed in anything evil, but today he did.
He walked out slowly and saw that Shen An looked nervous. The palace officials all opened their mouths and became nervous with him. Everyone raised their heads at exactly the same angle...
He even saw several chamberlains and maids drooling.
What the hell did Shen An do?
He walked to Shen An and didn't notice that Zhao Shu also came out.
The tiles on the roof are brand new and should have been replaced in the second half of the year.
Chen Zhongheng looked around, and he swore he didn't see anything worth being nervous about.
The same was true for Zhao Shu. He looked back at the maids, coughed dryly, and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"I've met the officials."
A group of maids and maids saluted blankly, and someone said, "Young lady, you didn't see anything."
"Then why are you staring up there?" Chen Zhongheng was so curious that he wanted to jump into the river, so he asked in a harsh tone.
A group of maids and maids thought about it for a moment, and then someone said, "The younger one saw someone watching, so he followed him."
Is it that simple?
Chen Zhongheng pointed at a palace maid and asked, "What about you?"
The palace maid glanced at Shen An, and there was something wrong in her eyes. Shen An shivered, thinking that the women in the palace were really... as lonely as snow!
There are so many women, but only Zhao Shu can exercise power. No wonder they are talking about a harem.
The palace maid Fu Shen said: "I saw Shen Daizhao looking at it with a nervous expression, so I followed him."
"What did you see?"
Chen Zhongheng swore he didn't see anything, and Zhao Shu thought it was a bit weird.
"I didn't see anything."
"Then why look?"
Well……
Everyone was at a loss, and someone said: "Follow me, I just want to watch with them."
"Nonsense!"
Just when Chen Zhongheng was about to get angry, Zhao Shu said, "Let's break up."
He gained some insights and turned around to go in.
"Ah!"
Shen An sneezed as soon as he came in, and Zhao Shu asked, "Is this what you call following the herd?"
"Yes." Shen An said simply: "Most people have this idea. Follow everyone. As long as someone starts, there will be no shortage of people following. Many scams actually take advantage of this mentality."
The scams of later generations are actually very simple. For example, for those real estate companies, their performance peaks every time they open for trading. They spend money to hire agents and clog the deserted home buying place with water. Those who are asking for help are crying to buy a house, but what if they can't buy it...
The melon-eating crowds were delighted when they saw it, thinking to themselves, “Oh my god, why are there so many people buying this house?” What are you waiting for? Come on quickly!
Zhao Shu fell silent.
Shen An knew that he was thinking about the truth behind this, but he couldn't figure it out for a while!
"Officials, if you don't believe me, you can ask Chen Duzhi to go to Yu Street and do what I did before. I guarantee that Yu Street will be blocked."
Chen Zhongheng glared at him, thinking that I just came to your rescue, but you actually cheated me?
But the officials will definitely not agree.
"That's fine."
Zhao Shu stood up and said, "Let the ministers and assistants follow. It's New Year's Day soon, so it's time to relax."
This is to excuse Zhao Xu. If it is true, the Shen Yong Army can be freed. If it is false, Shen An will be freed, and the angry Zhao Shu will ground him until the Mid-Autumn Festival next year.
Chen Zhongheng and Shen An went out together and whispered: "I'm just waiting to see how long you will be grounded!"
"hehe!"
Shen An responded to his provocation with a haha. UU reading www.uukanshu.net
Later, the emperor and his ministers gathered outside the imperial city in plain clothes. Han Qi said, "There are too many people in the official family. Why don't you go?"
"go!"
Zhao Shu always felt that the herd mentality mentioned by Shen An was weird, and he was even more afraid that this boy would deceive him.
The group of people went forward, and there were many people at the intersection ahead. Zhao Shu said, "Just over there."
Chen Zhongheng turned around and asked, "How to do it?"
"It's simple." Shen An said: "You just stand in the middle of the road and look up to the sky. It's best to be stunned. It's okay if you make a tsk-tsk sound."
