In the heavy snow, the originally united, harmonious, and satisfactory atmosphere was swept away in an instant, and the ministers opened the mode of painful calling, the mode of passionate speeches, the mode of fanatical protests, and the mode of angry petitions. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Fang Zhongyong took a look at the most well-dressed and noble players among the black-pressed courtiers - the current court's ruling lineup:

Prime Minister Lu Yijian, Deputy Prime Minister Chen Zhizhong, Governor Fan Zhongyan, Governor Song Shou, and Privy Envoy Wang Deyong...... On all faces, there is a strong anger that cannot be dissolved.

In the current situation, it is already clear to me that I want to work hard to stabilize someone's mind, calm down and act rationally, and not be angered by Li Yuanhao's behavior.

There is no other choice: Lu Yijian, it's not the right way at all, Chen Zhizhong and Song Shou are both seniors, not capable ministers. As for Wang Deyong, although he was a fierce general forty-two years ago, he also invited the party to kill Li Yuanhao's grandfather and rolled out of the Qingbaichi nest, but he was unforgiving......

Just as Fang Zhongyong was thinking about how to stabilize the situation next, Zhao Zhen's cough came one after another, and beyond the historical record, the emperor fainted at the suburban ceremony.

The whole scene was chaotic. Thanks to the fact that the ministers are still calm, at this time, everything naturally takes Zhao Zhen's body first. Everyone was busy sending Zhao Zhen back to the palace for treatment.

Fang Zhongyong stayed in front of Zhao Zhen's bed because he was on duty, until when Zhao Zhen woke up at night, the first thing he saw was still the tearful Zhang Guifei, the virtuous Queen Cao, and Fang Zhongyong who shrunk in the corner like a shadow.

Fang Zhongyong understood that Zhao Zhen was more sick than his body at this moment. He and Fan Zhongyan asked for the transcript from the secret spy department to report on the placement of mines, and only waited for Zhao Zhen to call him and handed Zhao Zhen this comfort.

Sure enough, Zhao Zhenping withdrew the queen and concubine, summoned Fang Zhongyong to the bedside, and asked in a weak voice, "What happened to today's situation?" ”

Fang Zhongyong hurriedly comforted: "Your Excellency, you are calm and moderate, the suburban ceremony has been successfully completed, Your Majesty does not have to work hard, it is important to take care of the dragon's body." ”

As he spoke, Fang Zhongyong presented the transcript of the secret spy division.

Zhao Zhen took the notebook, opened it lightly and looked at it, his brows seemed to loosen a little, but he still coughed twice and sighed again.

After a long time, Zhao Zhen said to himself: "The soldier is an ominous thing, and the saint has to do it." ”

Fang Zhongyong's heart rolled his eyes. That's right, it's understandable for Zhao Zhen to say this, however, isn't this one of the reasons why we have been ahead of the world for many years, but we have finally been bullied in modern times?

Those Confucian rituals, pits. When we are strong, we do not care about the back-and-forth and betrayal of the small countries around us, and whenever someone comes to worship, we will inevitably give more generous gifts, and when we have excellent seafaring conditions, we are not even considered to trade around, and there is no desire to plunder.

And what about the West? Their religion is all aimed at power, money, and raiding, to plunder wealth, and to oppress others with the power of ships and guns -- even if this barbaric civilization is not worth showing off, what is the result of delaying the etiquette of face, blindly retreating, and being unreasonably overly tolerant and tolerant of outsiders?

We could have discovered the New World earlier, occupied overseas trade earlier, and made our citizens the top of the food chain earlier, but the arrogance and narcissism of Confucianism, as well as the narrow understanding of the way of soldiers, are gradually destroying all of this.

Fang Zhongyong's heart was turbulent, but on his face, he had to listen quietly to Zhao Zhen's harsh sentences, and he had been deeply affected by the pit of etiquette and religion:

"The Great Song Dynasty is the kingdom of China, so although Li Yuanhao is rebellious and calls himself the emperor in vain, he still calls the word 'minister' in the national book, and he is still a person who understands some etiquette.

Barbarians, lack of education, the Celestial Empire, should still give people a chance to mend their ways. If not, on the one hand, send a reward gift to Li Yuanhao, and on the other hand, explain to them the matter of the 'emperor', which can only be used by my Great Song Dynasty, so that he will give up being the emperor.

If he is stubborn, it is not too late to discuss how to punish him. ”

To tell the truth, Fang Zhongyong's heart has the same rush as Lu Xun in later generations at this time: mourning his misfortune and being angry with him.

It's not for Renzong, it's not for anyone, it's a kind of culture and thinking habits formed by the accumulation of shortcomings, which has become a chronic disease, this disease makes the Great Song Dynasty blind with good cards in his hand, and Fang Zhongyong must work hard to face the heavy responsibility of illness coming like a mountain and going away like a thread.

It's really not easy to eat and wait for death, after all, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country, Fang Zhongyong thought about it, and did not object to Zhao Zhen's meaningless and redundant decision.

Zhao Zhen saw that Fang Zhongyong didn't speak, and according to the understanding of the other party's Zhongyong's personality, he knew that he was unhappy in his heart, and he also knew that at this time, the person who could hurt for Da Song's injury and hurt for Da Song's pain was the real good minister, so he also comforted him with kind words:

"Aiqing's method of planting mines is excellent, prevention is better than prevention, I only said in the past, then Li Yuanhao has been favored by my great Song Enlai for generations, it should not be like this, who knows, this person is what Fang Aiqing said - noble is the epitaph of the noble, and meanness is the pass of the despicable......"

Fang Zhongyong heard this, and felt that Zhao Zhen was not a bad person after all, and he could still be saved, so he said with a straight face:

"Your Majesty wants to express your forgiveness, Weichen has nothing to say, but I also ask Your Majesty to be mentally prepared, in the face of the fact that Li Yuanhao is no longer possible to turn back, lest things hurt Your Majesty's heart even more, and it will hurt Your Majesty's dragon body even more."

Fang Zhongyong's words are also true, because in history, the Great Song Dynasty did do this first, giving gifts to the Western Xia envoys, and teaching Li Yuanhao the "Huairou" method of not being the emperor and other things.

As a result, because of the opposition to Li Yuanhao's proclamation as emperor, in order to show absolute loyalty to the tyrant and dictator Li Yuanhao, the Western Xia envoy closed the door and directly hung the envoy who came to give gifts on behalf of the Great Song Emperor outside the door for a whole day.

This is estimated to be stunned by Zhao Zhen again.

In fact, it was not only Zhao Zhen who was stunned, even if the ministers of the Song Dynasty had the best cultivation and were familiar with 800 books of etiquette, they were directly mad.

The messenger who was turned away was none other than Yan Shu, the old man of Fubi. After Yan Shu was rejected that day, he went directly to the government hall and the Privy Council to complain.

Lu Yijian and Chen Zhizhong were both furious, and as soon as Chen Zhizhong slapped the table, he was about to tear down the courtyard wall of the post officer, directly knock down the wall, and crush the deflated three to death. (To be continued.) )
