Renzong looked at the faces of Fan Zhongyan and Xia Zhu, and when he saw that they were all pondering, Renzong said: "Chen Shimei, even if you have a great reason to solve the Dongying Emperor, why did you condone the soldiers to slaughter the people of Dongying?" ”

Chen Yuan replied: "The ministers were misorganized, and after the sergeants entered the city, there was a scuffle with the Dongying people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Banzai didn't know that those Dongying people didn't have military uniforms, and the attire of samurai and civilians was almost the same, and it was impossible to tell who was a civilian and who was a samurai when it was dark. ”

Fan Zhongyan had fought a war, and he naturally knew that if the situation was really what Chen Yuan said, it was inevitable that the situation would get out of control. But there is still an unforgivable Chen Yuan in his heart: "Chen Shimei, even if it is as you said, what is the fault of those Dongying women?" Why did you take them captive? ”

Chen Yuan dared to bring those Dongying women, naturally he had already thought of an excuse, and when he heard Fan Zhongyan's question, he said without the slightest hesitation: "Lord Fan, Xia Guan saw that Kyoto was bleeding like a river, and most of those women lost their support for life, and staying there in vain made them sad and angry, not only is it not good for the relationship between Dongying and my Great Song Dynasty, but they are also helpless after losing their father and brother, so the minister wants to take them to the Great Song Dynasty and find a family to marry, so that they can have a stable life in the future." ”

"Have you ever wondered what they would do if they didn't want you?"

"I thought about it, if they don't want to, it's good to bring them to the Great Song Dynasty to relax, and it's best for them to stay here in the future, if not, the ministers will send them back. The minister also knew that it was inappropriate to bring them in now, but the minister could not find a better way to make up for the harm caused to them. ”

There is no suspense in the contest between Fan Zhongyan, a gentleman, and Chen Yuan. Even if he has an absolute advantage, he is doomed to defeat in the end, because Chen Yuan is shameless enough, he can say black into white, and he can say such a high-sounding story about human trafficking.

After those Dongying women are transported to Dongying, Chen Yuan will take them to the western Xinjiang to relax, and he will definitely find Ruyi Langjun for them, and he will not be able to do it at all. Chen Yuan told Xia Sui to divide these Dongying women into three classes and reward them to those obedient Qiang people.

Many Qiang people don't have wives now, and I believe they will definitely like these Dongying women. Give them a woman, and give them an errand, and the Qiang people will be very peaceful. In fact, the idea of dominating the world is just the idea of those big people, and the most basic requirement of ordinary people, whether Qiang or Han, is to eat their stomachs and then meet some of their necessary needs.

Dongying women have no choice, and Chen Yuan can't give them the opportunity to choose.

However, Fan Zhongyan really has nothing to say now, his impression of Chen Yuan was originally very good, but he couldn't accept this matter, so he angrily accused Chen Yuan. Now that there is an excuse to appease Fan Zhongyan, Fan Zhongyan finally sighed: "Shimei, you are still younger!" How do you explain this to those vassal states? ”

Chen Yuan immediately said: "Minister, you are willing to accept the punishment, please long live the crime!" But at this time, it has nothing to do with the officers and soldiers of the three armies, and please long live it. ”

Renzong coughed lightly: "Then so be it, as for how to punish it, please Xiangguo come up with a plan and we are doing research." That's the end of today's matter, Fan Aiqing, after you go back, you are responsible for convincing the hundred officials that no one is allowed to mention this matter again in the future, so as to minimize its impact. Chen Shimei, you let me all the Dongying women in your villa, and if you are willing to stay, you will be responsible for reetting their future lives, and if you want to go back to Dongying, you send them back. ”

The three of them clasped their fists together: "Wait for the order!" ”

After walking out of the gate, Xia Zhu smiled at Chen Yuan: "Hehe, Master Horse, this time the old man is going to condemn you, this is the will of Long Live Lord, don't be surprised." ”

Chen Yuan said very politely: "What did Lord Xiangguo say, the lower official did something wrong, and he should be punished." ”

Xia Zhu glanced at Chen Yuan, and his eyes were a little playful. Chen Yuan knew that although this guy was standing in the ranks of righteous men and gentlemen, he was actually a despicable and shameless person. Now the relationship between Xia Zhu and Su Xiaoyou is very close, and both of them have their own plans.

As long as he didn't delay his own affairs, Chen Yuan wouldn't provoke them.

Fan Zhongyan said beside him: "Chen Shimei, the old man has one more thing to tell you, that is, about the redundant officials. ”

Chen Yuan was a little stunned when he heard this, this old guy had just beaten himself with a stick, but now he turned his head and came to discuss things by himself, this attitude changed a little too quickly, Chen Yuan couldn't accept it, but Fan Zhongyan said very normally: "Since Zhenzong, every suburban ceremony or the emperor's birthday, the seventh-grade official 'can be an official for one person from the descendants', and the officials above the fourth grade can let the relatives of their own family other than the descendants be officials, and the second-grade prime minister can not only have the shade of relatives, but even the doorman and the groom can also be stained." ”

Chen Yuan heard Fan Zhongyan's words very quickly, and he also admired Fan Zhongyan very much in his heart, only a selfless person like him could beat himself with a stick as a matter of course, and now he turned his head and said that things were also calm.

Fan Zhongyan's expression was very serious: "The children of poor families are indispensable to tighten their belts and study hard in the cold window, and the children of the official gentry who can't read big characters are holding a cricket jar, playing with the spring official picture, and the trouble is so black that Yintang is black, and his parents are also a bad goods who eat inside and out, so they make up for the lack of a "certain way", let him guard the gold and silver mountains of the treasury, and toss as much as he likes! I don't take the Jiangshan Society of the Great Song Dynasty in my eyes at all! If this situation does not change, my Great Song Dynasty will eventually be ruined in the hands of these people. ”

Fan Zhongyan, who has always been gentle, said such heavy words, which really shocked Chen Yuan, which was enough to convince Fan Zhongyan of the anxiety and anger in his heart now: "The old man originally asked for Banzai to immediately abolish the Yin Meng policy, but Banzai was not only allowed, but also made my son a six-grade candidate, which is really distressing." No one in the Manchu Dynasty agrees with the old man, I want to know what you think of this? ”

Chen Yuan thought in his heart, of course those people would not agree, this involved their vital interests. Not everyone is as worried about the world as Fan Zhongyan, such as himself, he is a person who first satisfies his own interests and then takes care of the interests of the whole country.

This problem of redundant officials is the most critical link in the reform, and the new policy is also a war, just like Chen Yuan put the Liao State last on the battlefield, cautious and cautious, for redundant officials, it is also necessary to be cautious and cautious.

Chen Yuan would not move this redundant official problem, because he was not completely sure, and this problem was likely to cause a certain degree of turmoil, so Chen Yuan did not want to move redundant officials until he solved the Liao State, the biggest enemy of the Great Song Dynasty.

Fan Zhongyan's surname is destined for him to be able to do things steadily, but he is definitely not a person who can rub sand in his eyes. If he feels that something is wrong, he will speak up and let everyone know that it is wrong.

Actually, doesn't Xia Zhu know this truth? Ouyang Xiu and Fu Bi, don't they know? Of course, they also knew, but they hoped that this system would not only bring benefits to other people's children and grandchildren, but also bring benefits to their own disciples and protégés, and also increase their prestige.

Chen Yuanchong Fan Zhongyan clasped his fists and said: "My lord, this problem is indeed difficult to solve, but as long as the adult is determined, Chen Shimei should help him, I don't know if I have anything to help the adult?" ”

Fan Zhongyan heard that Chen Yuan did not reject himself like Fu Bi, nor did he fight with himself like Ouyang Xiu, and he was really comforted a lot: "Alas, the old man has countless disciples and protégés in his life, but I didn't expect that you are the only one who is willing to help me on this issue, okay, I still need more publicity from your newspaper in this matter, and you will refuse." ”

Chen Yuan nodded in response, he knew that Fan Zhongyan was going to make trouble again. Sometimes the things that the righteous man and gentleman do will be very big, and when Fan Zhongyan wants to abolish this yin and cute system, the entire court will be like facing a tsunami.

What he has to do is to give Fan Zhongyan a strong momentum, make this tsunami look more violent, and let those scholars focus on Fan Zhongyan's body and forget about themselves. To use a person to be upright is to be sorry for him, but if you don't use it, you are sorry for yourself.

"Master Fan, in fact, Ling Gongzi's talent is completely qualified for any official position, Xia Guan and Chunyou Gongzi have met a few times, his talent is not much worse than that Sima Guang, you let him enter the court as an official, no one said anything." Chen Yuan said softly.

Fan Zhongyan said in a resolute tone: "I have already rejected the emperor's seal for him, if he really has the ability, he will give me an imperial list by himself." ”

Chen Yuan sighed slightly in his heart, it was a blessing for the Great Song Dynasty to meet such a minister, and if he met such a Lao Tzu, he could only be regarded as Fan Chunyou's unlucky. Fan Zhongyan not only didn't help Fan Chunyou, but also blocked his own way.

When Chen Yuan went back to arrange those Dongying women, Fan Zhongyan went back to prepare for a war with the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. His own son was now sitting in the tavern, drinking pot after pot.

Ouyang Xiu saw that Fan Chunyou's eyes were red, and he hurriedly pressed the wine jug: "Chunyou, okay, don't drink anymore." ”

Fan Chunyou opened Ouyang Xiu's hand: "You don't care about me!" ”

Ouyang Xiu sighed: "You also have to think about it for Lord Ling Zun, Ling Zun is thinking about abolishing those things now, how could he let the emperor make you an official?" ”

Fan Chunyou's face showed a burst of ridicule: "I'm thinking about him? I've been thinking about him since I was a kid! As for Xia Zhu's two sons, they were wandering around the street with birdcages, and now they are officials in the ministry. What about me? I'm reading! He said that the poor scholar has been studying hard for ten years, when have I come out to play all these years? I've worked so hard better than those poor scholars! ”

Ouyang Xiu nodded: "I know, I know, but there are some things that can't be seen like this, Lord Lingzun's integrity, those of us who are juniors, shouldn't make trouble for him." ”

Fan Chunyou picked up the wine jug and took another sip: "Trouble? The emperor asked me to go to Liaoguo, so let me perform a procedure, I did a good job, right? Not only did I do what the emperor explained, but I also figured out what happened in Liao before I came back, and even the emperor praised me for my ability. Look at Lu Xiangguo's two sons in the past, what else would they do besides waiting for Chen Shimei to send them silver at home? A few years ago, the emperor asked them to build a dam, but they couldn't repair it. Am I more troublesome than they are? ”

Ouyang Xiu was also speechless by him: "Ling Zun asked you to take the imperial examination, you just went to the examination, and Chunyou's talent is not that you can't pass the examination, so why bother with this battle of righteousness?" ”
