Chapter Ninety-Four: Zhao Shishe and His Brothers
Do you want to get into it yourself?
Cui Yuan was puzzled, even Zhang Miaoshou, who was standing on the side, seemed to be very puzzled and looked at Su Shi, waiting for him to give an answer.
Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Su Shi knew that some things were not explained clearly, and he was afraid that he would have a mustard in his heart.
"Okay, then I'll talk to you about it carefully. Let me ask you, in Da Song, where is the most trauma patients? ”
"This should be a barracks." Cui Yuan thought about it for a moment and replied.
"Yes, it's the barracks. And with this thing, it can indeed benefit some border troops more, and it will reduce their mortality rate, so at this time, our Song army is happy, who will be unhappy? Su Shi asked patiently.
"Not happy? Who would be upset? Cui Yuan asked without understanding what he meant.
Zhang Miaoshou on the side thought more far-reaching, and said with a flash of inspiration in his mind: "Young Master is talking about Liao and Western Xia?" ”
"Yes, that's them." Su Shi said in an affirmative tone. "When they saw that our Song army actually had a good medicine for external injuries, could they agree? At that time, they were afraid that they would put pressure on the imperial court to hand us over. Hehe, at that time, in order to calm the anger of these two countries, you say, what will those officials and gentlemen in the court do? ”
"This..."Zhang Miaoshou and Cui Yuan stopped talking when they heard this.
The Great Song Dynasty was indeed very wealthy, and its economy and culture were extremely developed. However, in terms of foreign policy, we have always pursued a weak attitude. For example, it has long been a habit to enter the New Year's currency every year, not to mention that it is in the court, even in the common people, and they have long accepted this practice.
To put it bluntly, you don't beat me, I'll give you money.
But to say that I can't beat you, and to give you money to quench your anger is understandable as an alternative way to seek peace. Then you can't beat me, and I have to give you money on the premise that I am the winner, which is incomprehensible.
But this is something that people can't figure out, but Da Song has been doing it.
From this point of view, if Liao and Xia really asked the Great Song Dynasty for people and medicine to treat external injuries, would the court not give it?
Just handing over a few holy hands can be exchanged for peace, presumably without thinking about them, you will know what to do. However, in this way, if Liao and Xia get this benefit, their soldiers will be reduced in the proportion of deaths, which will cause them to become more powerful, and in the end it will be the Song people who will suffer.
Su Shi explained this truth to the two very clearly, and finally asked: "Now you talk about it, do you want to hand over this thing now?" ”
"No, no." Zhang Miaoshou and Cui Yuan both shook their heads quickly, and their previous ideas were quickly nipped.
After understanding the reason why he couldn't hand it over, Cui Yuan still asked puzzled, "Young Master, when should I take this thing out?" After all, we can't let such a good thing leave him in the dust. ”
"Of course, we can't let it be dusty, but the premise is that when this thing is used, it must be kept secret, and when it is really made public, that is when our Great Song Dynasty becomes strong and is no longer afraid of anyone. And if we want to meet these conditions, we need to have an army that listens to us, not the old men of the court. ”
Finally got down to business, and Su Shi told him about the homeless people he encountered on the way to Beijing, and these homeless people were attacked by nearby mountain bandits, and then fought back.
These words are mainly for Cui Yuan, after all, he will go to Shangcang Mountain as a holy hand next, and he is not only a holy hand, but he also has to take on the responsibility of a gentleman, responsible for teaching more students.
Even if you want Cui Yuan to do these things, it will definitely not work if you can't convince him.
As Su Shi told the story one by one, Cui Yuan slowly understood Su Shi's good intentions. In the end, when Su Shi and Zhang Miaoshou looked at him, Cui Yuan straightened up and said, "Young Master, you can leave this task to me." I had already decided to leave Bianliang, and it was good for me personally to have a place like Shangcang Mountain. But I also have a request, that is, once this medicine can be released in the world, I must witness it with my own eyes. ”
"Don't worry, when that day comes, you will definitely become famous all over the world because of this medicine." Su Shi immediately nodded in agreement.
Finally persuaded Cui Yuan, Su Shi decided to let him rest in Bianliang for a day, purchase some necessary things, and then set off for Shangcang Mountain early tomorrow morning. As for Zhang Miaoshou, he still needs to go back to the north of Mahang Street, and he also needs to find more suitable good doctors, but if the conditions are moderate, he can also consider using the same method to persuade and arrange to send him to Shangcang Mountain.
At that time, Su Shi will establish a complete wartime medical security system there, so that the injured can be treated and the doctor can be good.
On the battlefield, the veterans who survived in the line of life and death are the real elite seedlings.
In the meantime, with the emergence of more and more veterans, the combat effectiveness of that army will become stronger and stronger, and one day, they will show their strength on the battlefield; One day, they will become Song people, and they will become the pride of Han people.
......
Zhao Shi set up a house, and now it can also be called Zhao Shi set up a house.
His Royal Highness King Jing personally opened his mouth and took away the official position of Zhao Shishi, he has become an official and a citizen, and the place where he lives can only be commensurate with a house.
After Jin Mingchi returned from his trip, Zhao Shishe returned to the mansion and got drunk, and he didn't wake up until noon the next day.
As soon as I woke up from the bed, I saw my eldest brother Zhao Shimai and second brother Zhao Shirui sitting in front of the bed.
Among the five brothers, Zhao Shishe ranked fifth, of which the third brother and the fourth brother died early and the other died young, leaving only the three brothers.
"Big brother, second brother, why are you here?" Zhao Shishe got up as he spoke, washing his face in the clear water on the side.
"Can we not come? You have already lost all the faces of the Zhao family. The eldest brother Zhao Shimai said with some hatred.
The capital said that it was not big, and as soon as Zhao Shishe's matter came out, he heard the rumors, and originally thought that he was waiting for his fifth brother to find himself and find a way to solve the matter. But if he can't wait, he can only kill him.
"Big brother, talk well, they are all their own brothers, how good it is to discuss something." Seeing that Zhao Shimai was angry and spoke in a blunt tone, the second brother Zhao Shirui hurriedly played haha and acted as a collaborator.
Zhao Shimai, the young eunuch in the palace from the fifth grade, is also among the loose officials, but it is just a dignity given by Renzong considering their status.
Zhao Chengrui, who did not choose the way of doing business as an official, opened a fragrance rouge shop, relying on his father's relationship, he could earn a lot of silver in a year, which was enough for their Zhao family's expenses. But because he was born as a businessman, he is a little more sleek, and he pays attention to the way of making money with harmony.
Zhao Chengrui persuaded his eldest brother loudly, but he didn't think about it, but Zhao Shishe, who was washing his face on the side, was not happy. Seeing the sound of his horn, he threw the face cloth into the basin and said: "Big brother, I am a victim of this matter, I was wronged, you don't go to find the trouble of that Ono seed now, but come to find your brother's unhappiness, what do you think?" ”
"What do I think? Isn't this your doing, everything you've arranged? As for saying that you are a victim, this is clearly inferior to others, and now you still have the face to complain as a victim? ”
Zhao Chengmai said angrily.
The court has always had their own rules, that is, no matter what happens, they will not look at the process, but only the result.
The so-called winner is the king, and the loser is Kou.
The winner is the winner, no matter what kind of means they use and what method they take, as a winner, they must be respected by everyone, just like Zhao Guangyi got the throne from Brother Taizu, even if there are countless courtiers who are suspicious, what can they say?
This is the power that the victor should enjoy.
On the contrary, as a failure, who cares what you have done and what kind of grievances you have to suffer?
"Who knew that thing was obviously placed on Ono Tane's body, why did it end up on my body, and my brother couldn't figure it out!" Speaking of this matter, Zhao Shishe looked aggrieved again.
"What's wrong with this, there are capable people around him, and he has long been on guard. Think about it, how could he be defenseless when he dared to come to the capital from that small place in Qianqizhuang, and what kind of person Su Feiyang is, we don't know, if he didn't have the ability, the little aunt wouldn't have followed him away in the first place. Zhao Shimai shook his head, as if he remembered the past, and his face was bitter.
In the past, even if the Zhao family was kicked out of the center of power, at least it was united, everyone trusted each other, kept warm, and accumulated strength, and there may not be a day when they could not get up.
But since Su Feiyang appeared, the little aunt has changed, and then she ran away quietly. That is, since that incident, the Zhao family in their family has been scattered, and they all have their own thoughts, and they are no longer like before.
It is also because of this that the power of the Zhao clan in their vein has been greatly weakened, and as the eldest son of Zhao Conggu, he has only obtained the position of a loose official from the fifth rank. Those people in the court clearly saw that they were suppressed, but none of them spoke out to question them, and they lost the hearts of the people because they were not united.
The past is unbearable.
All this just flashed in Zhao Shimai's heart, and when he looked at Zhao Shishe, he continued to ask with an angry look: "Say, what are you going to do next?" ”
"What else can I do? I must avenge this revenge, this Xiaoye seed is our laughing stock, and it must be blasted out of the capital, otherwise all of us will be disgraced. ”
