Chapter 33 Undercurrents are surging

Liu E looked at Zhang Qi hesitantly and asked, "Zhang Aiqing, what do you think of this?" ”

Zhang Qi was very entangled in this, hesitated for a while, and said: "It's over the official, after all, the common people are not as fair as the court and the central government, and they don't know about the disputes that have occurred here." I am afraid that they will misunderstand and think that the Bianliang Sword Discussion held by the King of Huiji County can have a part of the weight of martial arts. And the benefits of the imperial examination, the whole world knows, if Bianliang on the sword becomes the general imperial examination, wouldn't it make the world's martial artists grateful and flattering the king of the county? ”

"How can this be!" Liu E said decisively. "Just do what Zhang Aiqing said, just go and watch!"

After a pause, Liu E comforted Luo Chongxun: "Little Luozi, your suggestion this time is good, wait a while to get a reward of 100,000 yuan from the inner bank!" ”

Luo Chongxun was still a little resentful, but Liu E had a good way, and after hearing this, Luo Chongxun immediately calmed down his resentment. Respectful thanks.

And it's not just Liu E who is talking about this......

In the secret room of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, there were also a few people sitting at this moment, discussing the matter of Bianliang's sword discussion.

The man in the center is thin, with a long beard under his jaw and eyebrows raised like a scimitar. Although he is not in any state, he is not angry and self-righteous. This person is Zhang Shixun, who has just recovered this year, Zhang Shixun has very high qualifications, born in the Taizu period, Song Taizong Chunhua three years to enter the Shidi, Song Zhenzong has served as a privy deputy envoy. So far, he has been the three emperors of the past, and in folk terms, he is the patriarch of the three dynasties.

If so, it's nothing, the most important thing is that Zhang Shixun used to be the crown prince James and was a famous emperor party. If it weren't for Zhang Shixun's qualifications, Liu E would not have been able to use him again.

However, Liu E is not stupid, Zhang Shixun's current official position is "Ding[***] Jiedu Envoy Jiaxing Department Shangshu, Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, Jixian Hall Scholar, and supervising the history of the country". To put it bluntly, although he has the name of prime minister, Zhang Shixun is also a historian.

In addition to Zhang Shixun, several other people are all bigwigs of the dynasty, namely Li Di, the secretary and supervisor, Kong Daofu, the Cheng Kong Daofu in the imperial history, and Wang Sui, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

As the master and the leader of the emperor's party, Zhang Shixun naturally took the lead in speaking. "This appointment with the princes, I guess there are many reasons to say! The princes also understood the old man's intentions. ”

Probably old and lacking in breath, Zhang Shixun took a breath in the middle and then continued: "Although I don't know if the king of Huiji County is intentional or unintentional this time, but this is a good time to coerce the queen mother!" ”

Li Di nodded and said, "What Zhang Gong said is very true, but there is one thing to pay attention to!" The generals are all vulgar people, who only know the pleasure of swords and soldiers, and do not know the harm of reckless warfare. You can take advantage of it, but you can't use its soldiers! ”

Kong Daofu is the forty-fifth grandson of Confucius, and he is very disgusted with military generals, and Wang Sui is also a typical literati, and both of them praise it in unison.

Kong Daofu said with a look of disgust: "What Li Xianggong said is very true, how can a military general be a heavy responsibility? Such vulgarity will only bring chaos to the country and make the people of the world miserable! How much manpower and material resources did my Great Song Dynasty spent, and the Second Emperor Taizu Taizong worked hard to end the rebellion of the five generations of warriors. ”

Zhang Shixun stroked his beard, looked fairy-like, and said with his head in his jaw: "What the prince said is exactly what the old man thinks." We will now make a charter so that we can take the opportunity to create momentum in the Bianliang debate. ”

"It's not a problem to create momentum, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will see through our regulations!" Wang Sui said worriedly.

Kong Daofu was also very entangled. "The old man is really afraid that the official family will be too exposed to those martial artists and will be influenced by them!"

Li Di also nodded and said: "Exactly, the official family is now forty out of twenty, although it is said that he is in the palace, he is benevolent and righteous, but he is young and vigorous in the end." I'm afraid that it is easy to be aroused by those martial artists, and when the time comes, it will be a strange mistake for us to wait for the ages! ”

Zhang Shixun stroked his beard, was silent for a while, and said: "Now this is the only way, the official family and the king of Huiji have a deep relationship, if the king of Huiji county is allowed to come forward, it will definitely make the palace misunderstand, so I am not afraid that the official family will be bewitched by the martial artist." ”

Wang Sui still has an opinion. "I'm afraid that those martial artists have bewitched the king of Huiji County, and the king of Huiji County will not have any influence on the official family, so I will wait! It's so hard to do! ”

Zhang Shixun glanced at Wang Sui dissatisfied, and scolded angrily: "I was afraid of wolves and tigers, how can I achieve great things?" This matter reminds the king of Huiji County that it really can't be ......"

A fierce light flashed on Zhang Shixun's majestic face, and he said: "It's really not good, we are waiting for ministers, so we can only be wicked people, play together, and let the king of Huiji County go to the south to become a vassal!" ”

"Exactly!" Kong Daofu said awe-inspiringly: "For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, for the sake of the official family, even if we are scolded for a while, we will not hesitate to do it!" ”

Wang Sui muttered in his heart, I'm afraid that the official family is unwilling, and the king of Huiji County is not a soft persimmon, can't you help him if you don't see the one in the palace? However, Wang Sui also knew that he had made Zhang Shixun dissatisfied, so he just dared to say these words in his heart, and even the expression on his face remained unchanged.

"Then which of us will go to the king of Huiji and persuade the king of the county?" Li Di suddenly asked.

Zhang Shixun thought for a while. "The princes here must not, it is impossible for the Queen Mother not to pay attention to us, can Li Xianggong have someone to recommend?"

After thinking about it for a while, Li Di said: "The old man has an in-law, who is the Fan of the Hubu Lang, and he is decisive in doing things, which can be done!" ”

"Fan Buzhi?" After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Shixun suddenly said: "But Fan Zhengci's son? ”

"Exactly!" Li Di responded.

Zhang Shixun nodded with satisfaction and said: "This can be done, the old man has also heard of his fame, he is decisive, and he is not arrogant or humble when he goes to Khitan!" ”

When the four of them set the framework, they carefully discussed the details.

Probably Zhao Yu didn't know that he had a competition to make friends with the generals, which actually attracted the attention of the major powerful figures in Bianliang City, and he didn't know that this matter would actually affect the division of power in the imperial court.

In fact, not only the Queen Mother Party and the Emperor Party paid attention to this and made suggestions.

In a courtyard near the Baokang Gate, you can see two jujube trees by the gate, and the green jujube trees are hanging all over the trees, although they are not fully ripe, they are already attractive and abnormal. Under the tree sat this scholar and four porters and coolies dressed as men. The men unbuttoned their collars, bared their bronzed chests, and behaved rudely.

It's just that after listening to their words, I'm afraid that anyone is still shocked. These unsightly men are actually the backbone of the Maitreya Sect in Bianliang City, and they are not the elders of the torture hall, but the rudder master, the deputy rudder master and other figures.
