Fan Zhongyan was very tired, and even if it continued, he would collapse with a feeling of collapse, even if he knew the victory, the old man was secretly lucky, he didn't want to care about anything, just lying on his back on the bed, staring at the ceiling, wanting to rest, but he couldn't sleep, his eyes were sore and painful, tears flowed, and Jin Ge Iron Horse kept appearing in front of him, shouting and killing.

If you want to talk about this contest between Song and Liao, the most tired person is not Wang Ning'an, not Di Qing, but this Fan Xianggong!

From the very beginning, he tried his best to fight, but he was questioned by all kinds of questions, and even his former comrades-in-arms thought that he wanted to take the opportunity to recover, and there were enough immortals in the court to fit Fan Zhongyan.

Therefore, from the Liao soldiers, all kinds of open guns and hidden arrows came one after another, and they did not disappear for a moment.

After losing Baigouyi, someone impeached and demanded that Fan Zhongyan be dismissed, but fortunately, Zhao Zhen did not act as a pig teammate this time, he held on, and Fan Zhongyan's position was quite stable.

But then, the Song army cleared the wilderness, invaded the Liao border, destroyed the grain routes of the Liao State, and killed them on a large scale, and even let the generals command the men and horses to fight independently, without having to rescue the cities in danger, and regardless of the people who were plundered by the Liao soldiers...... All this has become an excuse for those imperial historians to attack Lao Fan and impeach the generals.

Standing on the shore and watching the ship capsize, they did not know the difficulties of Hebei at all, nor did they understand the danger of war, everything relied on their malicious imagination, unscrupulously attacked, and spared no effort to smear ......

In the face of these people, Fan Zhongyan was not angry, but afraid, not afraid of what would happen to him, but afraid that Hebei would really not be able to hold on, once the Liao soldiers went south and killed the capital, how could this group of wastes resist the wolf-like Liao soldiers!

Wang Ningan often said that he was not afraid of god-like opponents, but he was afraid of pig-like teammates. And the gang of rotten Confucianism and Qingliu in the court are the pig teammates of the combat soldiers, plus the pig opponents of the Liao State!

With them, do you still need the enemy?

Thinking of this, Fan Zhongyan felt more and more that the Six Arts School was too important, the imperial court used the imperial examination to select scholars, and the imperial examination selected people by articles, such a single and biased way, how could the appropriate talents be selected?

Only by truly calming down and cultivating a large number of scholars and doctors who are both civil and military, and have real skills, can the deteriorating national fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty be reversed.

The Qingli New Deal failed, and the Great Song Dynasty missed the best opportunity for reform......

After the victory, Fan Zhongyan could breathe a sigh of relief, and the old minister put down the burden of his family and country, and picked up another burden of teaching and educating people.

He decided to devote himself to teaching in the Six Arts School, sorting out what he had learned and thinking all his life, and cultivating talents for the country.

However, the old minister still has to stand on the last shift and handle the matter of peace negotiation well, so that he can retreat bravely in the beautiful rapids.

Lao Fan thought very well, the hardest part has been completed, and the rest of the things will not be difficult! But there are people who constantly refresh the definition of mentally retarded, and the degree of stupidity is simply breathtaking and jaw-dropping!

The Liao State sent Liu Liufu, the secretary of Tongping Zhang, to Bianjing, to meet Zhao Zhen, first congratulated him on his birthday, and offered some gifts, and the two sides got along very happily, but then, things changed abruptly.

Liu Liufu wantonly accused the Great Song Dynasty of breaking the covenant between the two sides and provoking the Great Liao, so that the two sides fought each other, and all the losses suffered by the Liao State had to be borne by the Great Song Dynasty.

The Great Song Dynasty sent the privy deputy envoy Wang Gongchen to be in charge of the negotiations, and at first Wang Xianggong also argued with reason, but Liu Liufu took out a piece of evidence and blocked Wang Gongchen's mouth at once.

According to the alliance between Song and Liao, the two sides were not allowed to build new cities in the border areas, and the Great Song Dynasty, in violation of the covenant, built several cities in the Cangzhou area, the scale was large, all of them were more than 100,000 people.

In the court, Wang Xianggong, who often spoke amazingly with macros, faced with the accusations of the envoys of the Liao State, had no way to refute it, and could only make vague remarks, which made Liu Liufu grasp the sore foot and demanded that the Great Song Dynasty must destroy the city first, and then the two sides can negotiate peace, otherwise the Liao State will raise troops to the south and destroy the city with his own hands!

Wang Gongchen had no choice but to return to Zhao Zhen.

"Your Majesty, I am facing benevolence and righteousness first, building a city in Cangzhou, but there is something inappropriate, can I temporarily suspend work?" Wang Gongchen said worriedly.

It was Wang Ning'an, Ouyang Xiu, and Fan Zhongyan who built the new city in Cangzhou, and it was Fu Bi who should have spoken, but this old man lowered his head and was silent.

It was the privy counsellor who made Pang Ji and Pang Xianggong stand up.

"Your Majesty, Cangzhou built the city, firstly, to settle the victims, secondly, because Cangzhou whaling, it needs to be processed, and the repair of the city is not to deal with the Liao State, we can explain, if we obey the will of the Liao State, what should the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims do, and will the prince have a way to settle down?"

Pang Ji said this completely out of public heart, but Wang Gongchen has a ghost in his heart, he and Wen Yanbo are very close, and there is a great situation of overturning Pang Ji, is it possible that Pang Xianggong took the opportunity to make trouble?

Wang Gongchen said: "Pang Xianggong, in order to relieve the victims, we have to build a city, I'm afraid that it will not sound good to say, so that the Liao State will underestimate the Great Song Dynasty!" Could it be that the imperial court can't even manage hundreds of thousands of people? ”

Pang Ji snorted coldly, "Wang Xianggong, the facts are there, if it weren't for the whaling last year, the victims of starvation in Hebei would not be tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands!" This is obvious to all, what is the use of us concealing it? Don't you know that Liaoguo wants to cover it, but it makes people small!! ”

Wen Yanbo, who had been silent, finally spoke, and it didn't work if he didn't speak, how could Pang Ji be suppressed by Wang Gongchen.

"What Pang Xianggong said is reasonable, and what Wang Xianggong cares about is love! In any case, as a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, he should also take care of the face of the court. No matter what it is for, building a city in Cangzhou always violates the alliance of Lanyuan. If you blindly protect it, the Liao State will be aggressive, the soldiers will be in trouble, and there will be no peace, and the loss of the imperial court will be too great, and the ministers will not be able to afford it. ”

It's a financial gap again!

This reason has almost become omnipotent, Zhao Zhen is angry in his heart, but he is helpless.

Under the stalemate, Fu Bi suddenly stood up, "Your Majesty, I think I might as well ask Hebei to see the new city in Cangzhou, can you stop?" ”

This prosaic and even somewhat sloppy proposal was unanimously agreed by the monarch and ministers, and in this way, the imperial court hurriedly delivered it to Fan Zhongyan's hands.

……

Wang Ningan has been very busy these days, and his father is back, and there is another person who forces him to practice.

Especially Wang Liangjing followed Di Qing this time, Di Qing did not hesitate to teach, he was greatly inspired, and even wanted to worship Di Qing as a teacher, how dare Di Hanchen agree, your son is my son's teacher, and he has helped me a lot, now the brothers are commensurate, if I accept his father as an apprentice, then Wang Ning'an is not two generations lower than himself! is a generation lower than Di Yong! Are you kidding!

Di Qing's head shook like a rattle.

"The child is not sensible, what does he care?" No matter how Wang Liangjing patted his chest, Di Qing didn't agree, so that Wang Liangjing was not depressed, and sprinkled all the fire on his son.

"Look at Di Yong, and then look at Yang Huaiyu, who is also a disciple of the general, who rushes to kill the field, and has the courage of ten thousand people, that is a good seedling. Your current level is too bad, and your father will blush for you when you say it! ”

"Willing to blush you blush! If you have the ability to call Di Yong and Yang Huaiyu, I can let them sweep the toilet for a year! Wang Ningan had an opinion, but he forgot that he could reason with anyone, just don't talk to his father!

"Let me tell you, Wang Liangjing's son must be both civil and military, and he can't be a weak chicken who can only play clever! Train! Give me a good practice! ”

From fists and feet to weapons, from practicing cypress stakes to Zama steps, carrying buckets, no, I got a big bucket of raw mung beans, saying that I wanted to learn iron sand palms......

Wang Ningan looked at the white and tender little hands, and almost wanted to cry without tears.

Just when he was upset, Fan Chunren and Fan Chunli arrived.

"Help, here!" Wang Ningan threw the mung bean, turned around and ran, "Let's go, take me to see your father." ”

Fan Chunren's face was full of admiration, and he exaggeratedly said: "God, sir, you will be an unpredictable prophet!" How do you know my dad asked us to come to you? ”

"Yes, sir, do you know that the imperial court has come to the official document and is going to stop the new city of Cangzhou!" Fan Chunli has no heart and no lungs.

Groov!

Wang Ningan stood up suddenly, he felt that it was better to practice kung fu, although it was tiring and hard, at least don't take care of those brain-dead headscarves.

Wang Ning'an was dragged to Fan Zhongyan's study with reluctance, Ouyang Xiu was also there, after seeing the ceremony, he put the situation simply, Fan Zhongyan smiled bitterly: "Although the court didn't say it explicitly, but sending an official document to inquire is intriguing in itself, and the princes in the court don't really support the repair of the city!" ”

Wang Ning'an was stuffy, his stomach was full of anger, and he was about to explode.

"I said Fan Xianggong, whether those things in the court are the Yulu of the Great Song Dynasty or the Yulu of the Liao State, why don't they know to help the Great Song Dynasty speak?"

Fan Zhongyan's old face was red, Ouyang Xiu's face was purple, unlike Fan Zhongyan, who became a monk halfway, Ouyang Xiu participated from scratch, and also assisted in planning the city. How can a city built brick by brick stop when it is stopped?

"Alas, after all, we have to take into account the face of the imperial court, and the alliance between the two sides is agreed upon." Fan Zhongyan sighed helplessly.

"What a humble and moral gentleman, abide by the alliance of the abyss? Why didn't they say that the alliance of the abyss stipulated that the annual coin was 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk, but now it is 200,000 taels of silver and 300,000 horses of silk! How do you count the extra one? Wang Ningan snorted angrily.

Ouyang Xiu made a bitter face and lamented: "The last time the increase in the New Year's currency was negotiated by Fu Yanguo, after all, both sides agreed, but this time it was our unilateral repair of the city, it really doesn't make sense, or else, Erlang you think of a way?" ”

The drunkard's fox tail was finally revealed, and it turned out that he squeezed Wang Ning'an, just to force this kid to use his brains and make up his mind.

Wang Ningan was silent for a while, his face was full of disdain, and he sneered: "Fan Xianggong, drunkard, you are too gentleman!" This matter is very simple, tell the imperial court, we are not building a city, let the Liao Kingdom visit casually! ”
