Chapter 118 Shen Kuo enters Beijing

That night, the Wenfu dinner lasted until Haishi.

Su Shi followed Zhang Fangping in a daze and walked out of Wen's house.

When he got on the horse, Su Shi was still in a trance.

"Zizhan!" Zhang Fangping, who was sitting on the carriage, laughed when he saw Su Shi's look: "Disappointed?"

Su Shi is a gentleman with an innocent heart!

Therefore, Zhang Fangping fell in love with him as soon as he saw him and treated him as his nephew.

Naturally, Zhang Fangping could almost guess the reason for Su Shi's trance.

It's nothing more than a broken halo.

Su Shi sighed and said, "Junior, I really don't know how to describe..."

He can't figure out his current situation now.

Zhang Fangping said with a smile: "After you go back, wash up and have a good sleep. Let me and I meet someone tomorrow!"

"Oh!" Su Shi nodded, and then asked: "Who is the unknown person Xuan Hui wants to take this junior to meet?"

"A person who is completely opposite to Sima Junshi!" Zhang Fangping said: "Sima Junshi was in Luoyang and wrote "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" for fifteen years."

"And he has been a local herdsman for the Daxing Emperor for fifteen years!"

"As the Right Chancellor of the DPRK, Duke Kang Guo Han Zihua!"

"Han Jiang?" Su Shi was stunned.

Su Shi was not very impressed by this person.

I only remember that the right prime minister, who is now in critical condition, had been diagnosed with numbness twice during the Xining era.

For the first time, Tong Zhongshu's disciple Ping Zhangshi, a bachelor of Zhaowen Palace, went out to Shaanxi to serve as the Shaanxi economic and strategic envoy. He had full authority to take charge of all the armies along the border and attacked Hengshan. However, due to a mutiny in the rear, his success fell short and he could only return.

Ask the court for forgiveness and go out to know the place.

The second time, after Wang Anshi resigned as prime minister, he recommended Han Jiang to take over. After ten months, he hurriedly gave up the position to Wang Anshi again.

Legend has it that because Lu Huiqing was too powerful, Han Jiang couldn't resist, so he just broke up and called Wang Anshi back to Bianjing, so that the stubborn Xiangong could deal with Lu Huiqing.

Apart from this, Su Shi's understanding of Han Jiang was completely blank.

Among Su Shi, Han Jiang was not even as well-known as his younger brothers Han Wei and Han Zhen.

"Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements!" Zhang Fangping said: "When you meet Han Zihua, you will know why the ancients said this!"

The elders of the old party also do not share the same position.

Back then, Duke Wei of Han and Duke Fu Han could not urinate together.

What about the remaining people?

Relatively speaking, because Zhang Fangping retired to Yingtian Mansion, he knew Han Jiang's policies and conduct.

The main theme is neither fast nor slow, neither urgent nor slow.

The two often get together to compose poems and sing harmony.

He is a relatively familiar friend!

Of course that's all.

The political views of the two men are actually completely different and even somewhat diametrically opposed.

But, what does this have to do with anything?

Wang Anshi was able to marry his daughter to Wu Chong's son.

Wen Yanbo could also let his eldest grandson marry Cai Que's niece.



The next day is April Yiyou (twenty-two).

Zhao Xu finished listening to politics in Yanhe Palace and returned to Funing Palace.

At today's court meeting, a series of personnel appointments were made.

According to the request from the capital hall, the two palaces issued an edict:

He was a bachelor of Zizheng Palace and a doctor of Yinqing Guanglu. He knew that Lu Gong of Yangzhou was a part-time scholar, and he was ordered to go to Beijing to go to the palace.

Tianzhang Pavilion was waiting for the system, and it was known to Qingzhou Zhao Xi, and it was changed to Yanzhou.

The imperial court officials learned about Heyang Prefecture, Zhiji Xianyuan Fan Chunren, the pavilion was promoted to Zhilong Tuge, changed his knowledge to Qingzhou, and ordered him to go to the palace to pay homage.

The commander of the four compartments of the Dragon God Guard, Liu Changzuo, the governor of Changzhou, came to the palace to report on his duties.

In response to the request of the left prime minister, Cai Que, Duke of Runguo, he went to court to serve as a minister, to supervise the liquor tax in Caozhou, Wu Anzhi, and to have the right to know Huazhou.

Well, Cai is indeed selling well.

However, in his previous life, Cai Que's sales were good, but they were sold to a blind man. Instead, people thought he had given in, and they intensified their attacks.

Now, I don't know.

Zhao Xu took advantage of every opportunity and took the opportunity to put forward his request at the court meeting. Therefore, with the favor of the benevolent and filial emperor, the empress dowager's biological mother, Mrs. Lu Guotai, was granted the title of Mrs. Li of Han, Mrs. Zhao Guotai, and the empress dowager's biological mother, Mrs. Qin Guo.

Zhang's family, added to Qin State, was Mrs. Lu's wife.

The late eldest princess of the Zhao Kingdom was posthumously named the eldest princess of the Yan Kingdom, and the princess's eldest son Wang Shu, the envoy of Dongranyuan, was appointed as the envoy of the imperial city and worshiped as the envoy of Chengzhou Tuanlian.

The princess's second son, Wang Zhi, was appointed as deputy envoy of Liuzhai, and then became the envoy of Liuzhai and Bailizhou regiment training envoy.

It's that simple for a relative to get an official position.

Of course, as long as they are not explicitly authorized to be dispatched, they do not have any real power and can only receive salary.

And because of Wang Anshi's reform, if there is no real difference between relatives, clan members, and honorable ministers, then the salary will be discounted, usually 60% off for the better ones, 20% off for the better ones, and 50% off for the worse ones.

Wang Anshi said that this is on par with the scholar-bureaucrats - we scholar-bureaucrats are like this without actual dispatch.

The angry relatives and clan officials who worked as rice bugs in Bianjing City were so angry that they wanted to eat his flesh!

Now you know why Wang Anshi is so hated.

Thinking back on what happened at the court meeting, Zhao Xu walked to the screen, picked up his pen and wrote down the key points of the day.

Know Zhao Xi of Yanzhou!

This is a little expert in farming!

Zhao Xu only found out about it in modern times.

A place like Yanyan Road, where there have been battles for many years, can be planted with wheat under his rule.

What's particularly special is that, as a scholar-official, he can sit down and talk seriously with the Qiang leaders on Yanyan Road.

Let the leaders convince him.

This is unusual.

As we all know, among the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty, especially those at the level of Zhao Xi, few were willing to bend down to do things.

Many people ask them to do some practical things, such as construction projects, and they immediately jump to their feet: This is not the system of the Holy Dynasty to favor Confucian ministers!

What Zhao Xu appreciates even more is that the above achievements were achieved through repeated policy changes during the Yuanyou era.

It's a pity that in Zhao Xu's previous life, he didn't know the existence of this person at all.

He also died very young, in the fourth or fifth year of Yuanyou.

"Let's see if we can send some imperial doctors there in the future..." Zhao Xu thought.

Such a minister who knew how to farm, was willing to do things, and could lead troops died in his sixties. What a pity!

If he could live one more year, he would be able to plant more crops.

The input-output ratio is simply amazing!

Zhao Xu was thinking about it on the screen, while Zhao Xi was waiting along the edge to thresh wheat for his 996 fields.

Feng Jing walked to him and whispered: "Everyone, I heard something interesting in the imperial kitchen..."

"Um?"

"It seems that Grand Master Wen invited Zhang Xuanhui and Sima Gongyan to have a drink last night. I heard that they didn't leave until almost a quarter of a hour..."

"Among the attendees, there was even the world-famous Su Shi and Su Zizhan!"

Zhao Xu's eyes lit up.

Is Shi Deyi's Detective Department actively transforming into a Jin Yiwei?

Even at other people’s gatherings, you have to record the ending time!

Rare! Rare!

It's a pity that it's not as good as the Jinyiwei. At this time, someone should go in and stick to the wall to listen to what these elders are talking about when they gather together.

Zhao Xu didn't express his opinion, just hummed, gave Feng Jing a look, and asked him to guess for himself.

Zhao Xu was planning to change his clothes and then go to the Imperial Garden behind Funing Palace to take a walk and get in touch with nature.

Song Yongchen came at this time.

"Everyone..." He held up a copy of the entry document from the General Secretary: "Shen Kuo has just arrived in Beijing!"

Zhao Xu laughed: "Good!"

"As arranged by the Mingtong Meeting Department, Shen Kuo is promoted to the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau. I will see you in the Chongzheng Hall at the moment of application today!"

"yes!"

Shen Kuo is Zhao Xu's personal minister, so of course he can choose to summon him alone.

Both palaces have already agreed to this matter - in the eyes of the two palaces, Zhao Xu is a child, and the weapons bureau dedicated to manufacturing is like his toy.

It is normal for the emperor to want to play with his favorite toys, and it is understandable.

"When I see Shen Kuo, no outsiders are allowed in the Chongzheng Hall!" Zhao Xu asked.

"I understand!"

"Tell Yan Cheng..." Zhao Xu was still uneasy: "Let Yulong go straight to the left for the third time, and go to Chongzheng Hall to change defense now!"

Yan Cheng is the eldest son of Yanda, and now serves as the third governor of Yulong Zuozhi, Du Yuhou.

"Wei!" Song Yongchen was stunned for a moment before taking the order and leaving.

After leaving Funing Hall, the big Diao Dang couldn't help but think: "It seems that everyone in the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau really takes it seriously!"

"This is the first time that everyone has attached so much importance to something... and even made such careful arrangements..."

First, he was asked to send all the people in Chongzheng Hall away.

This was the first time that Yan Cheng was given an order to let Yulong Zuozhi's third line, the emperor's most trusted guard, to guard the Chongzheng Palace.

Song Yongchen suddenly stopped.

"The third direct governor is Yu Hou Yan Cheng. How do you know his name?"

"The register when he ascended the throne?"

"Hiss!" Song Yongchen took a breath of cold air.

The new king ascended the throne and the list of meritorious ministers was enshrined with hundreds of names.

Among them, Yanda cannot even be ranked in the top twenty.

What's more, it's his son?

But everyone can find it accurately and write it down.

Is our memory so terrible?

Song Yongchen became more and more frightened and respectful.



At the gate of the capital hall, Shen Kuo sat anxiously in a small official room outside the imperial hall, nervously waiting for the order from Ouchi.

To be honest, Shen Kuo is a little restless now.

One is nervousness!

Emperor Daxing ordered the young master to revive him.

Shen Kuo originally thought that there was a written edict, but along the way, through inquiring with the minister named Tong Guan, he found out that it was the young master who dictated the late emperor's decree.

This made Shen Kuo take a breath of cold air - if the young master forgot, wouldn't he have to be under house arrest in the courtyard in Suizhou forever?

It also gave him a deep understanding of the young master who now has many legends about him - a young master who could read the Spring and Autumn Annals at the age of eight and expounded the righteousness of the saints.

An eight-year-old young master who could clearly memorize every sentence that Emperor Daxing asked him to memorize.

Isn't this scary enough?

This means that if you offend him, he will remember it for a lifetime.

Just like the prince's young master who has become an official, Zhang Fangping, the envoy of Xuanhui South Academy.

Shen Kuo knew very well how difficult a person with such an extraordinary memory could be - if anyone showed any disrespect in front of him.

He will think of it at any time in the future, and he may use these things to cause trouble at any time.

But this is not actually the main reason why Shen Kuo is restless.

The main reason was that his wife did not go to Beijing with him - Mr. Zhang wanted to go back to his hometown to pick up his family and children and go to Beijing with him.

This really made Shen Kuo not used to it.

It has been many days since my wife pulled my hair, it has been many days since I pinched my waist, and it has even been many days since I heard Mrs. Zhang’s roar.

Shen Kuo suspected that he might be sick.

Fortunately, he didn't wait long.

Soon, a decree came down from the palace: to promote the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau, Miying Pavilion will be responsible for the secretarial work, and I will see you at Chongzheng Hall today at the eleventh hour!

Actually... summoned today?!

This made Shen Kuo even more anxious.

He took a deep breath, feeling that he was now in the same mood as when he first came to the imperial city and was preparing to take the imperial examination.



Zhang Dun quietly took a look at the side of the capital hall. He saw Shen Kuo who had put on a brand new official uniform and a brand new crotch.

But he looks much older. Looking from a distance, you can even see some hair on the temples.

"Shen Cunzhong seems to have aged a lot!" Zhang Dun thought: "It's only been three years, but he already has a lot of hair on his temples..."

"Is relegation really that torture?"

Zhang Dun didn't know because he had never experienced what being relegated was?

Because he never made a big mistake!

Because he has been on the right path since he became an official.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Dun quietly came to Li Qingchen's command hall.

"Bangzhi!" Zhang Dun said to Li Qingchen as soon as he entered the door: "Have you seen it? Shen Cunzhong has entered Beijing!"

Li Qingchen nodded and said: "Just now, the palace has issued a decree, ordering Shen Kuo to meet your Majesty in Chongzheng Hall at the eleventh hour today!"

"This is His Royal Highness Funing's decree!"

Li Qingchen is also the Minister of Internal Affairs, so the decrees issued from the Natural Palace must first reach his hands.

Zhang Dun listened with burning eyes.

"From the Palace of Funing?"

"Or should I go to the palace to see Your Majesty today?"

He asked: "Is it the intention of the emperor or the empress dowager?"

Li Qingchen shook his head: "I'm just a minister...how could I know such a thing?"

There will be more later
