Fan Xiang, my Xiangye. The kid is just a man of the mountains, and the matter of the temple, the kid may not really be able to help you. Besides, the small farm looks good, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the law changers will use it, you still don't have to worry about it, out of sight and out of mind, how good? Li Kui's intention to shirk was very firm, and he didn't want to get involved in the whirlpool of party contention at all.

Regarding the dispute over being brought into the temple by Fan Chunren, he was not only dissatisfied, but also dissatisfied.

But Fan Chunren felt that this was an opportunity: "You kid doesn't understand." If the Changeling Sect really had such great magical powers, do you think I would oppose it? Will Junshi object? Jiefu and I, Junshi have been friends for decades, and you think it's just one sentence: 'The Tao is different, and we don't conspire with each other'. Can we turn our eyes against us? ”

This is true, Xining changed the law because he saw the hope of solving the Western Xia. This idea coincided with Emperor Shenzong's thoughts.

However, the military expenditure of the Western Xia War will be an astronomical amount, and the treasury at that time will be difficult to support.

If the treasury is not full, how dare you start a protracted war?

And Wang Shao's "Pingrong Strategy" at that time suddenly surprised Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi. A whole set of pre-war preparations was immediately specified.

This is why Wang Anshi has the style of vigorous and resolute change, because everything else can be slowed down, and military spending cannot be slowed down. On the whole, the battle of Western Xia did not go well. Although the land of Hehuang was captured, the war to destroy the Western Xia was finally defeated by Li Xian, and the defeat was very miserable, with the loss of 400,000 people, so that the Song Dynasty had to enter a recuperation and recuperate, and was unable to continue to carry out oppressive attacks on the Western Xia.

In the following years, the land of Hehuang and the Qiang people have been in rebellion and suppression repeatedly, until after the death of Shenzong, Empress Dowager Gao came to power and immediately said that the land of Hehuang was gone.

Da Song eased up.

This is Fan Chunren's explanation, and Li Kui can't refute it. After all, Fan Chunren has been serving as a decision-making senior official in the central center for nearly ten years, and the problems he sees must be much deeper than his own.

Fan Chunren said: "There are not many means for the Fa Change, whether it is the Qingmiao Law or the Recruitment Law, they all work quickly, but they can't last. In wartime, it can be used for insufficient military spending, but over time, the financial resources of the Great Song Dynasty will be exhausted. They urgently need a way to change this situation, and to completely transform the reform of the law into a wartime move and a good way to govern the world. So, you don't have to worry, as long as Zhang Zihou is not old and confused, he will never give up such an opportunity, this is a plan. ”

"But how can the boy beat them?" Li Kui said with a weak heart.

That's right, whether it's Cai Jing, or even Zeng Bu, who is not as good as Cai Jing, he is difficult to deal with. Nothing else, seniority is enough for him to eat a pot. The Great Song Dynasty was a dynasty that attached great importance to strict hierarchy and seniority.

"Uncle Fan, I think you're thinking too much, and you asked me to go and play with Cai Jing. It's hard to get to work. Li Kui's frivolous appearance is very poor, but he has rough skin and thick flesh, and he is not afraid of beating at all.

Fan Chunren was also angry, and raised his palm to fall: "You kid, a very sensible person on weekdays, why are you so stubborn when the court wants to use you?" ”

Li Kui looked up and was not afraid of Fan Chunren's threat at all, this old man, with old arms and legs, could hurt himself and count him as a winner.

How high is Li Kui's defense?

This has a reason, when it comes to Li Kui's defense, I have to say a woman, Qiu Qiongying.

This woman later went to Liangshan, and before that, a god taught her martial arts in a dream and taught her martial arts. The most powerful thing is the kung fu of flying stones, and he is good at drawing halberds. Qiu Qiongying and Liang Shan's record is very proud:

Bantam Tiger Wang Ying, ten rounds, was injured and lost.

Seeing this, Hu Sanniang rushed up to help, but she couldn't stand it.

Then Gu's sister-in-law went together, World War II, and it was still difficult to resist.

The lieutenant Chi Sun Xin rushed up, and before he could fight, a flying stone shot down the helmet, this guy ...... Fled.

As a last resort, Lin Chong went into battle.

It is said in the book that Qiu Qiongying and Lin Chong fought countless battles, and their strength was exhausted, so they had the idea of winning with a useful strategy, so they sold the flaws to Lin Chong, and Lin Chong was really fooled, rushed up and was hit in the face by her with a flying stone, blood flowed everywhere, and he could only drag the gun back to the main formation.

Saying so much, it's not for nonsense, first, this woman is indeed strong in martial arts. More importantly, in order to lead out the key figure Li Kui. Why is this guy a key player? Because in the book, Li Kui stupidly rushed up to help, and then stood still and let Qiu Qiongying hit his forehead with a flying stone, which is what the book says - holding a stone in his hand, hoping that Li Kui will hit him, right in the corner of his forehead. Li Kui was also taken aback, fortunately the skin was old and the bones were hard, and the pain was only painful, but it was not broken.

The key is the last four words – unbroken.

Listen, is this something that a person has done? Since Qiu Qiongying's secret weapon is a flying stone, it is naturally not picked up casually on the ground, but a polished flying locust stone, which is angular, and it is not much worse than an arrow.

And Li Kui himself found that he may have a higher defense than the real Li Kui.

After all, the realm has been improved, and with the money, the medicinal bath is often used. Before in Gaojiazhuang, Yingzhou, when he rushed into the thieves, he was slashed, and it was also - it was not damaged. Frightened, he no longer dared to refine his skin with a medicinal bath, if he really wanted to go on like this, he would have to shut himself up.

And there is no way to communicate about this kind of thing. The only person who can communicate with Li Kui is probably Li Quan, but Li Quan's brain is damaged, and he can't say an idea at all, which makes Li Kui break off the idea of wanting to find out.

Fan Chunren's raised palm finally did not fall, but said in an almost pleading tone: "Two years, drag Cai Jing for two years, as long as Ziyou still occupies the Zhongshu Shilang, everyone sees hope, and confidence will naturally rise." At that time, the emperor's attitude must also be clear, and we also have a judgment on whether to go into hiding or stay in the court. ”

Fei is working so hard just to keep the conservatives confident, what can Li Kui say? You're too cowardly, aren't you? Isn't it just exile? What's the big deal?

"You always say, can a kid be able to go to high school if he turns in a blank paper during the provincial exam?" Li Kui asked.

Fan Chunren hesitated for a while, making it clear that Li Kui wanted to be a scoundrel and didn't want to be a scumbag, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What do you kid think of the imperial court's talent ceremony?" ”

"Didn't you say that if the chapter is really heavy, the kid can even look forward to saving yuan?" Li Kui looked expectant, but his tone was playful and ridiculous.

Fan Chunren knew that Li Kui was emotional, and he was tired, and Li Kui was not an easy to control kid! This kid is not only difficult to control, but also very disobedient. But he followed Li Kui and said: "It's possible." ”

"Where's the champion?" Li Kui asked.

Lao Fan was really annoyed, and said angrily: "You kid is endless, it's good enough to be a jinshi." This still requires you to have a situation where the level of the article cannot be too bad, do you really think that my Jinshi of the Great Song Dynasty is really so good? ”

It is difficult to say that Fan Chunren gave up the idea of beating him into the enemy line, even if Li Kui showed very strong opposition, it was useless. After thinking about it, I can only mess around.

Fan Chunren opened his mouth, where can he not see that Li Kui has emotions, it is a good thing to have emotions, I am afraid that there is no emotion, and then when everyone thought it was safe, this guy sold everyone.

For Fan Chunren, who takes benevolence and gentleman as his life goal, he can still pass the paper in the provincial test and be able to go to high school, which is simply a big joke in the world. It is also a blackening of the century-old reputation accumulated by the Great Song Dynasty Imperial Examination.

But when the examiner is Li Qingchen......

It's hard to say.

This person is not very capable, relying on the ability to write articles, the official is getting bigger and bigger. According to Wang Anshi's previous standards for employing people, he used those who were talented but not virtuous, and he greeted those who were talented and virtuous, but suddenly a talented and virtuous guy was mixed in the Fa faction, and he always felt weird.

And Li Qingchen is such a person, not to mention conservatives, even among the reformers, they are not very optimistic about him.

It stands to reason that Li Qingchen's character is very reliable. At least during Wang Anshi's time, Li Qingchen did not have any stains on his body.

Not only is there no stain, but he is also diligent and thrifty, even after becoming an official, he has maintained a frugal life, a bit like a churchman's hardship. And the article is magnificent, majestic, and self-contained.

But there is something bad about this person, and he is very jealous.

When you meet someone who is not as good as yourself, you are very easy to talk to, but you actually look down on each other. But once he met a talent who was stronger than himself in all aspects, he was suddenly jealous, and he wanted to send people into the eighteenth layer of hell. Moreover, he has a very bad relationship with Zeng Bu, and Zeng Bu, the rich second generation, looks down on Li Qingchen's hypocrisy and righteousness, and often refutes his face.

The two of them are on the same page, and it's not a day or two.

It wasn't until after experiencing the suppression of conservatives that Li Qingchen woke up. It's not that he lives in a luxurious and lascivious life, and he's not used to such things. But the practice of flattery without a bottom line really surprised people who knew him well. Is this still Li Qingchen, one of the two heroes in the literary world praised by Ouyang Xiu back then?

Li Qingchen is a big disappointment, but for Li Kui, this person is too far away from him, but Fan Chunren's image of a good man in his heart has completely collapsed.

Thinking about it, he has already relied on him, and he can't resist it.

The moment he went out, Li Kui said angrily: "Fan Xiang, if the kid votes for the reformers, can you come out happily?" ”

Fan Chunren was shocked and angry, looking at Li Kui's back with a dejected expression, and gradually walked away.

Shuangqing walked in from outside the house, and found that his uncle was sitting blankly, his eyes were blank, and he suddenly became anxious: "Uncle? ”

"Uncle?"

"Well, it's you, Shuangqing."

shouted several times in succession, Fan Chunren reacted, and looked at Fan Shuangqing's eyes with a lonely look that made people feel distressed: "Shuangqing, do you think the old man is wrong?" ”

"What's wrong?" Shuangqing don't look at the greed for money a little, but it also depends on the situation. He took Steward Liu's reward money because it was not hot to take. But how could this little favor buy him off?

From the bottom of his bones, he is a member of the Fan family, so he naturally stands on Fan Chunren's side. And Fan Chunren is not only Fan Zhongyan's son, he is also the head of the current Paradigm family, and there are thousands of Paradigm clansmen in Wu County, all looking up to this family head who has been the prime minister. How could he have turned his elbow outward?

Shuangqing said firmly: "Uncle, you are lifting the second brother, is it too late to change your gratitude?" How can there be so many complaints? ”

Obviously, Li Kui's dissatisfaction also made Shuangqing feel it.

Fan Chunren's eyes flickered, and he sighed and said: "Not everyone wants high-ranking officials, it is good to succeed, but if it fails, it will be a catastrophe, no matter who it is, it will be worried?" ”
