What's even more sad is that the current Renzong has completely lost confidence in the current Great Song army, and he no longer believes that the Song Dynasty army can win the battle. So he believed in the tongue of the literati, so he also wanted to change the status quo of the Song Dynasty's army.

Mu Guiying and the current Renzong really have nothing to say, the so-called words are not speculative, it should be between her and Renzong.

So after getting Renzong's approval, Mu Guiying immediately wanted to leave. Renzong did not keep Mu Guiying, but only kept Zeng Gongliang and Chen Yuan.

After Mu Guiying left, Renzong looked at them: "Which of you went to find Marshal Mu?" ”

When Chen Yuan was thinking about how to answer this question appropriately, Zeng Gongliang over there had already spoken: "Long live, it was the minister who felt that there was really no way, so he went to Tianbo Mansion with Chen Zhisi." ”

Renzong smiled coldly: "Hmph, if it were you, you would have gone a long time ago." Chen Shimei! ”

Chen Yuan knew that he had to carry this matter! Hurriedly said: "Long live, Weichen just wants Tianbo Mansion to lend us some personal soldiers, and has no other intentions!" ”

Renzong looked at it twice, and finally did not say any more reproachful words: "This matter is like this, if there is any difficulty in the future, I will say it directly, if you need soldiers, I can allocate a few hundred forbidden troops to you." Remember, don't go to Tianbo Mansion to disturb you marshals again! ”

This is Renzong's attitude towards Tianbo Mansion, and this is the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty towards those who have laid down the country! Since Zhao Kuangyin, they hope that the warriors who help them fight the country and help them guard the river will put away their knives and become a rich man at home.

It's unfair to those fierce generals! They need a life that is not stable, they need a battlefield, and they need a stage where they can show their bravery!

Just like Chen Yuan also needs a stage. He quietly glanced at Renzong and found that Renzong's face was very unsightly. Will he give himself a stage in the future? Chen Yuan didn't know, if he didn't give it, then he would take it himself!

After a while, Renzong suddenly took out a picture: "This is the picture of the hundred officials that Master Fan gave me today, you can take a look." ”

The eunuch took the picture, walked down and unfolded it in front of Zeng Gongliang and Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan was extremely shocked when he saw this picture for the first time! He was sure that this was the trap that Pang Ji set for Fan Zhongyan!

This picture depicts 100 Beijing officials who have been promoted this year! The experience of each of them and the channels for promotion were all explained very clearly by Fan Zhongyan in this form of "looking at pictures and writing words" at a glance!

Who was promoted through normal channels, who bought officials, and who was promoted by their teachers, the above drawing is very clear!

Chen Yuan secretly glanced at Zeng Gongliang, and there was also Zeng Gongliang's name on it, and it could be seen that Zeng Gongliang, a Beijing official, was promoted by Renzong through normal channels. But Zeng Gongliang's face is very unsightly!

Chen Yuan knows very well that every industry has its own unspoken rules, which may or may not be reasonable, but everyone covers these rules, and they are afraid that people outside will know. Fan Zhongyan's picture of 100 officials is to lift all the unspoken rules of the officialdom of the Song Dynasty at once.

A storm is destined to come, and in this one, Fan Zhongyan must be the one on the cusp! Thinking of this, Chen Yuan had a very helpless sympathy for Fan Zhongyan in his heart!

He was indeed a good man and a good officer. has been an official for so many years, but he has not been contaminated with a trace of officialdom sleekness, honest and honest, down-to-earth work, diligent and conscientious official, loyal to the country! As long as he thinks that it is beneficial to the community and can benefit the common people, he will say what he should say, and he will do what he should do, without scruples!

But such a person can only be written into the history books for future generations to pay homage to, and he can only do that faint mourning in the torrent of history! He can't be the master.

The reference of the hundred official maps is very clear, when the prime minister Lu Yijian!

Chen Yuan knows that Lu Yijian will never say anything now, Fan Zhongyan's "Hundred Officials Map" is above the imperial court, "there is a book, there is no book", it is not a "small report" sent privately, on this occasion, if Lu Yijian can't hold his breath, abuses his power, and demotes other people's official positions, don't say that the Manchu Dynasty is not convinced, even the emperor will not be able to look at it.

Also, although Fan Zhongyan's painting level is not high, it is realistic, and Lu Yijian really has nothing to say about these things.

But don't think that Lu Yijian will forget it like this. Pang Ji is a villain, Lu Yijian is a villain, and the villain will kill you with a knife and a gun in front of you, but a villain like Lu Yijian often likes to quietly pull out a knife when you can't see it.

This kind of villain is the nemesis of a gentleman like Fan Zhongyan!

Chen Yuan finally knew what trap Lao Pang had set for Fan Zhongyan! The bait in this trap is Lu Yijian!

Lao Pang is bad enough! You can use your allies as bait to throw them out!

Fan Zhongyan is also upright enough, knowing that the best outcome of this is to take Lu Yijian to Hainan to fish together, but in order to make the court less villainous, he would rather give up himself!

It's just that what will Lu Yijian do? He's definitely not going to sit still, it's not a villain's last name. The gentleman is generous, the villain can bear it, what kind of method will Lu Yijian use to fight back?

The eunuch put the picture away, and Renzong looked at Chen Yuan: "Chen Shimei, what do you think of this picture?" ”

Chen Yuan didn't know what Renzong thought in his heart, but from his point of view, only Lu Yijian supported him the most in the entire court, and it would not be good for Chen Yuan for Lao Lu to fall. So now he has to be on Lu Yijian's side no matter what!

Chen Yuan is also a villain, and the first thing he thinks of at this moment is his own interests, not the righteousness of the country. This is one of the main reasons why he can get together with Lu Yijian. But he is still a kind villain, and he still has deep respect for Chen Yuan, who is admired by people. So he didn't want Lu Yijian to win, but he didn't want Fan Zhongyan to lose! But none of this was something he had to think about as a small charge. Chen Yuan knows that the time has not yet come for him to fight shoulder to shoulder with these big shots, and now, what he has to do is to build the cornerstone under his feet!

What I need now is connections, and it would be best if both the villain and the gentleman supported me. If he had to choose, he would like to be helped by a villain, not by an admirable gentleman.

"Hooray, Weichen thinks that the improper promotions depicted on this picture have yet to be verified."

Renzong looked at Chen Yuan: "I have already asked the officials to check, and I have to personally see the resumes of everyone on it!" ”

Chen Yuan whispered: "Long live, Weichen, that's not what I mean. ”

Renzong looked at him very strangely: "Then what do you want to check?" ”

Chen Yuan didn't know what Lu Yijian's counterattack method was, so he couldn't cooperate with Lu Yijian now, so he just excused himself first: "This is not something that Weichen, a little priest, can say, please forgive me." ”

Renzong smiled: "This is not a place where Oshiji can come, since you are here, just say it." ”

Chen Yuan responded: "Let's take an analogy, Weichen, the secretary of charge, took office with Lu Xiangguo's name, but it means long live." If one day others say that I, the charge manager, also gave Lu Xiangguo silver to take office, it will inevitably wronged Xiangguo. ”

Renzong thought about it for a moment and felt that there was some truth in it. Lu Yijian is now in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and all the merchants of Beijing officials need Lu Yijian's name, and the more than 50 people who were abnormally promoted on the 100 official charts are all deducted from Lu Yijian's head, it seems that he has been wronged. But he felt that Lu Yijian was always difficult to get out of the way.

Before Renzong finished thinking about it, Chen Yuan continued: "Besides, Lu Xiangguo's responsibility is to select virtuous talents for the emperor, if everything is according to the plan, how can he make virtuous people one step faster?" ”

Renzong didn't speak for a long time, and finally snorted and changed the topic: "I knew that you must say this when I asked you!" How did you help me with Li Wei's affairs? ”

Chen Yuan knew that Renzong had actually listened to his words. Li Wei's matter, Chen Yuan really forgot! When I came home from the palace yesterday, I saw Huyan Ruizhu and Zhang Kuangzheng, and I was happy to throw this matter out of the clouds.

Besides, it's only been two days, Renzong is too anxious, right?

Chen Yuan didn't know that as a father, he was always a little uncomfortable watching his daughter stay at home.

What made Renzong even more depressed was that the ministers in the court were still nosy, and the officials led by Ouyang Xiu and Yu Jing actually took care of Renzong's housework, and scolded the eldest princess in the court for "not changing the strictness of her parents, indulging in her mind, fearless, and despising her husband's family!" That Liang Huaiji "is not self-conscious, and he is too evil." The mountain of sin accumulates and should be punished severely."

They strongly demanded that Renzong punish the princess and kill Liang Huaiji!

These defenders did not think about dealing with their daughters for Renzong from their father's point of view at all, and in their opinion, it was time for them to stand up and defend the so-called "Three Principles and Five Constants"!

The eldest princess Renzong was reluctant to be punished, that was his daughter, in Renzong's opinion, the eldest princess was the little girl who was "surnamed pure and filial" and was willing to kneel in front of the door for a day to pray to the sky!

Liang Huaiji can't kill him, kill him now, the eldest princess will hate her father for the rest of her life!

But the Song Dynasty's officials are really powerful! They not only told the court about the matter, but also took it outside the court to talk about it! Renzong cares a lot about fame and the royal face. Therefore, he can only hope that the people of the Li family will stop making trouble now!

He passed the news to the Li family from all angles, but there was no response. Now that he saw Chen Yuan, he naturally asked about this matter again.

Chen Yuan immediately said: "Back to Banzai, Wechen has not found the right time, Banzai rest assured, Wechen will definitely give Banzai a satisfactory answer to this matter." ”

Renzong nodded helplessly: "Okay, you try your best." Let's go back. ”

After leaving the palace, Chen Yuan did not go to the workshop again, but went back to Crescent Moon Villa directly. It seems that Renzong is really anxious about the matter of the eldest princess, which is a test for Chen Yuan, and he hopes that he can satisfy Renzong, so he will go back to the villa to prepare first.
