Chapter 170: Zhao Kuangyin treats guests

The needles in the main hall can be heard, and everyone can feel that Zhao Kuangyin's state is wrong and entangled, and his brows are twisted into a Sichuan character, for a long time, only two words came out: retreat.

Although this is not quite in line with the rules, if his descendants can't keep it up, which upright minister will dare to go up and press him back, but is Zhao Kuangyin the founding emperor, plus his Taizu Chang punch is good, no one really dares to provoke it at this time.

So, a court meeting that had been gathering momentum for so long ended because Li Chuyun went crazy once.

Sun Yue had no choice but to go where he came from, and planned to go home, but when he walked to the door, he was stopped by Zhang Dejun, "Brother Yue, stay here." ”

Sun Yue knew that this person was powerful, and hurriedly bowed politely: "Da Neiguan, how can you always greet the lower officials in person, if you have something, you can send someone to send a message." ”

Zhang Qianjun said with a smile: "Look at what you said, you are a slave, where can you get such a big face, Brother Xiaoyue wants to go home?" ”

Zhang Qianjun saw that Sun Yue was so respectful to him, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of him, and secretly decided that he would have the opportunity to help him say good things in the future, he could feel that this Sun Yue, including his father Sun Chunming, did not discriminate against him, you must know that eunuchs are extremely sensitive, and some things can't be pretended.

What's more, there are few people like Sun Yue in the court, and there are few people who are willing to pretend to be with him on the surface, you must know that in order to learn the lessons of the Tang Dynasty, the monarchs of the five dynasties and all the monarchs since Li Cunqiao have suppressed the eunuchs, especially Zhao Kuangyin, who is the most important eunuch in the world, and his official position is only from the seventh grade! Who is a minister who has a little power outside? Since history, has he ever been such an aggrieved official?

"It's just to go home, I haven't seen my father for more than four months, and I panic, in case I am convicted, I won't even have time to eat a meal."

"Brother Xiao Yue, this is a joke, even this three-year-old child in Kaifeng City knows that you are the future prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, how can you really be convicted of anything, today's meal, you really can't go home to eat, the official family let you go over and accompany him to eat."

Sun Yue's brain buzzed: "The official family wants to invite me to dinner?" ”

Zhang Qianjun smiled and said, "The same can be said." ”

Sun Yue hurriedly said: "Oh, then please ask the big internal official to guide the way." ”

Zhang Qianjun smiled and led Sun Yue to the imperial dining room, instructed the little eunuch to take a meat patty, and said, "Brother Yue'er let's make a little bit of a mat first, eating with the official family is not a beautiful difference, and if you can't eat enough, you will be hungry." ”

This is true, don't say that he accompanied the emperor to eat, Sun Chunming had never eaten enough to accompany the leader to eat in his previous life, and he hurriedly thanked Zhang Qianjun at the moment, and sent the meatloaf into his stomach in two bites, and drank a bowl of soup, and at the same time secretly wrote down the affection in Zhang Qianjun's heart.

When I saw Zhao Kuangyin, I found that people didn't wait for him, and they ate the dishes on the table, but they also left him a pair of chopsticks, signaling him not to be polite and eat.

Different from other emperors of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin especially loves to invite his courtiers to dinner, it is said that before he became the emperor, a group of brothers came to the house every day to drink, and spent the family's money on it, and his sister was angry at every turn because of this, and after becoming the emperor, he always felt that he was bored to eat, so he invited the old buddies from before him to attack and eat, and when he was not invited, he probably went to Zhao Puna with chopsticks, so those palace maids, eunuchs, etc., also have a lot of experience in how to serve guests.

It's just that most of the people Zhao Kuangyin usually invites are his ten brothers of the Righteous Society, or similar to Zhang Yongde, who have had extraordinary friendships with buddies and brothers, and civil officials are extremely rare, except for Zhao Pu, there are really not many, like Sun Yue, who had no friendship with him in the later week, but he is still a scorpion, the only one.

This is already a blatant political hint, and he values Sun Yue to the point where he doesn't even bother to hide it.

Sun Yue sat down quite restrainedly, and looked at the dishes on the table, there are a lot, there are nine dishes, Zhao Kuangyin does not have the stinky problem of eating at most three bites of each dish of his descendants in later generations, this table of dishes must be more than enough for three or five people to eat anyway, a pot of stewed fragrant mutton, a bowl of fish soup, a plate of crabs, and the rest are all seasonal fresh vegetables, and it is estimated that adding a piece is not enough for Song Huizong to eat a bite of crab soup

As soon as Sun Yue wanted to stretch out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat to eat, he heard Zhao Kuangyin say: "You did a good job in Langzhou this time, this is what the prison army should do, but unfortunately after all, it violates military law, and it is impossible to reward you clearly." ”

Sun Yue hurriedly put down his chopsticks and said: "The minister only wants to be worthy of his heart, and he doesn't dare to take credit, if he can get a small life, it is the benevolence of the official." ”

Zhao Kuangyin began to snort and drink porridge, and Sun Yue stretched out his chopsticks and put a crab in his bowl.

"I heard that this attack, whether it is breaking Jiangling or Yiyang, your new army has not committed any crimes, you also made up a slogan, calling starvation to death do not grab food, freeze to death do not demolish houses, resolutely do not take a stitch from the masses, and actually did it, what is even more rare is that the combat effectiveness of the new army has not been affected by this at all, and it is even a few points higher than other forbidden armies, powerful, powerful, and it is not in vain that the imperial court spent so much money on them, this is the army I want!"

Sun Yue had no choice but to put down the crab and said: "After all, the political commissar of the new army is still manageable after being put at the battalion level, and he doesn't dare to deceive the officials. ”

"Hahaha, this is already very good, breaking the city and robbing, that is what I couldn't control when I led the troops, but let you do it, I think the speed of the reform of the forbidden army can be accelerated, it is worth spending more money on such an army, you look at that Li Chuyun, what kind of is he doing this time, the imperial court is enough to feed more than a dozen of you new army just by exempting Hu-Nan's taxes."

Sun Yue humbled a few words, didn't dare to take credit, his crab just broke his legs and put it back, he was also a little annoyed for a while, and was about to talk while eating regardless of it, when he heard Zhao Kuangyin ask: "Do you think Li Chuyun is really crazy or fake crazy." ”

When Sun Yue heard that this topic was so serious, he had to put the crab down again, and said thoughtfully: "The minister thinks that it doesn't matter whether he is really crazy or fake crazy, and the minister thinks that the crime he committed needs to be punished by the law, and he should not be biased against him because he is crazy." ”

Zhao Kuangyin frowned and asked, "Are you suggesting that I kill him and pay tribute to Brother Murong?" ”

Sun Yue said categorically: "No, the minister is brave, please Your Majesty will not die around Li." ”

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes flashed, and he asked, "You advocate keeping him alive?" You must know that he is a minister of the dragon, as long as he does not die, he will have influence on the court, you and he are already an undying enmity, and you actually persuaded me to keep him alive? Are you pretending to be generous to me, or are you a woman's kindness? ”

Sun Yue said firmly: "No, it's just that the minister thinks that since the founding of the country, the official family has not tried to kill a person with a knife, and future generations will feel your benevolence, so as to imitate, and gradually derive the rule of not killing scholars, the minister has the courage to say, the power of the emperor, there is no boundary, there is almost no constraint, only the reverence for life, can be a little imprisoned for future generations, and the way to kill, once it begins, it will be endless, Li Chuyun, it is not worth your knife, the minister is a hundred years of the Great Song Dynasty, please the official, spare his life." ”

In the three hundred years of the Great Song Dynasty, except for Zhang Bangchang, who had been the emperor, he had to kill, and only one minister had been killed.
