Li Zhang invited Yan Shu to sit at the table with him, but the other party showed a hesitant expression, and then said honestly: "Don't hide it from Li Quanjian, my current situation is not very good, and the hundred officials in the court and the central government also avoid me, so I am worried that sitting in the past will affect you." ”

"Oh?" Li Zhang couldn't help but show an interested expression when he heard this, and asked curiously: "I don't know what Yan Shilang did to make the hundred officials avoid you?" ”

"I offended the Queen Mother, aren't you afraid of being affected by me?" Yan Shu asked again at this time.

"Hahaha~, the Queen Mother may blame you for what you did wrong, but she will definitely not implicate others for no reason, I am very confident in the Queen Mother!" Li Zhang laughed at the moment, and slapped Liu E's ass by the way.

Hearing Li Zhang's words, Yan Shu couldn't help but show an expression of envy, if he could speak like Li Zhang when he was young, I am afraid he would not have driven high and walked low, and he had been in the officialdom for so many years.

Since Li Zhang didn't mind, Yan Shu sat opposite Li Zhang at the moment, and then told him about the reason why he was not treated by others, and the main reason was that he offended Liu E.

Speaking of which, the reason why Liu E was able to listen to politics was Yan Shu's first suggestion, so for Liu E, Yan Shu still has merit, but Liu E doesn't seem to like Yan Shu very much, especially some time ago Liu E wanted to promote his cronie Zhang Qi as the privy deputy envoy, which was also normal, but Yan Shu felt that Zhang Qi was the queen mother's confidant, and it was not suitable to hold such an important position, so he resolutely opposed it, which made Liu E very unhappy.

Zhang Qi is not an ordinary person, when Zhao Heng did not ascend the throne, he was Zhao Heng's henchman, and his relationship with Liu E is not ordinary, because Liu E was bought by him from Liu Mei and then given to Zhao Heng, and later Liu E was driven out by Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Heng hid her in Zhang Qi's mansion, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Qi did not dare to go home for many years.

With the above relationship, Liu E naturally used Zhang Qi heavily after ascending the throne, but he didn't expect Yan Shu to oppose it, and his attitude was very resolute, which made Liu E a little unable to get off the stage, so Liu E was also quite dissatisfied with Yan Shu.

But just a few days ago, Yan Shu did another wrong thing, that day he was about to enter the palace, but the entourage forgot to give him the court wat used in the court, that is, the long board that the ancient officials held when they went to the court, generally made of jade or bamboo, mainly to write what they wanted to say when they went to the court to remind themselves, so as not to forget to say it when they got it.

Originally, this was just a trivial matter, but Yan Shu was furious because of this, and sent his entourage home to fetch Chao Wat, but the other party came back late, which made him even more angry, and picked up the jade Chao Wat and beat the entourage, and as a result, the other party's teeth were knocked out.

Originally, the status of the subordinates was low, and it was nothing for Yan Shu to punish the subordinates as the master, at least in terms of the moral standards of the Great Song Dynasty, it was normal, but Yan Shu made two mistakes, the first was that he was in the Yuqing Palace when he beat people, which belonged to the royal realm, and there was a risk of offending the royal family to do it here, and the second was that Yan Shu, as a scholar, fought with his subordinates with his own hands, which was simply insulting to Sven, even if he was famous, now Sven swept the floor.

Liu E was originally very displeased with Yan Shu because of Zhang Qi's matter, and now Yan Shu has done such a wrong thing, which just gave Liu E a chance, so it has been rumored in the past few days that Yan Shu is likely to be demoted because of this, plus he is swept away and his reputation is ruined, so the civil and military officials avoid him.

Li Zhang was also a little speechless after listening to it, he never dreamed that Yan Shu, who could write "Helpless flowers fall, déjà vu Yan returns", is still a temper tantrum, and if he gets angry and doesn't care about it, he will beat people, and the subordinates of their family are afraid that they will have a hard time.

"It's wrong for me to beat people in the palace, but I haven't done anything wrong in opposing Zhang Qi as a privy deputy envoy, if the queen mother punishes me for this, then I don't accept it!" Yan Shu was also a little excited in the end, plus he had drunk a lot of wine just now, so he was also a little unscrupulous at this time, of course, this may also be what he said in his heart.

Li Zhang didn't know what to say when he heard this, because Yan Shu couldn't judge right or wrong at all because of what Yan Shu did, but it was true that Liu E hated him, and with his understanding of Liu E, Yan Shu was almost certain to be demoted.

"It's good to go out for a walk, the Great Song Dynasty is so big, and there is more than just the capital, maybe there is more opportunity to make political achievements when you go outside." Li Zhang could only open his mouth to comfort in the end.

However, what Li Zhang said also made sense, because after Yan Shu was demoted this time, he quickly went to Yingtianfu, and then vigorously supported Yingtian Academy, and finally made this academy one of the four major academies in the early Song Dynasty, and he also met a person there, this person was the later famous Fan Zhongyan, Fan Zhongyan was two years older than Yan Shu, but he admired Yan Shu's talent, so he worshiped Yan Shu as a student, and this encounter also completely changed the fate of Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan.

"What Li Quanjian said is right, just like when you went to Gyeongju this time, you made such a contribution at a young age, but it's a pity that I am a literati, I can't lift my hands and shoulders, and I am afraid that it will be useless even if I go to the army." Yan Shu said with a somewhat depressed expression at this time, it turned out that he was worried that he would be relegated to the frontier, after all, he was a scholar, and if there was a war in the frontier, he might not even be able to live.

Li Zhang was also stunned when he heard this, daring to love Yan Shu, an honest man who not only has a bad temper, but also a little afraid of death, and has no courage to sacrifice his life for the country, which makes Li Zhang have a deeper understanding of Yan Shu, although the other party is talented and extremely smart, but there are also shortcomings of smart people, such as selfishness, easy to retreat in case of trouble, etc., but this is also quite true.

The wedding banquet lasted until the evening, although Yan Shu had many shortcomings, but Li Zhang was bored sitting alone, so he kept chatting with each other, Yan Shu read a lot, Li Zhang was well-informed, so the two chatted very happily, until finally Yan Shu was drunk, Li Zhang let people help him down.

It was not early, Zhao Zhen estimated that he had already gone to the cave room, and Li Zhang thought about it and had nothing else to do, so he was about to leave, but he didn't expect Liu E to suddenly send someone to call him to the side hall next to him.

"What did you talk about with Yan Shu at the wedding banquet just now?" As soon as Liu E saw him, she immediately asked, looking a little unhappy.
