The emperor called Li Kui "a righteous man!" ”

It's more of a kind of admiration, this kind of ability to toss oneself to death is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, let alone a scholar.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and none of them could achieve the level of Li Kui.

lost his official position and went to Western Xia to engage in internal divisions.

Not to mention whether it is successful or not.

In terms of influence, it is definitely more thrilling than any Great Song campaign against Western Xia, and at the same time, the harvest is greater. As long as the situation in Western Xia is turbulent, it will be an incomparable heaven-sent opportunity for the Great Song Dynasty. If he doesn't grasp this opportunity, Zhao Xu will definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

But it's one thing to want to take chances.

How to catch it is another matter.

According to the plan of Su Zhe, Li Kui and others, the reaction of the Great Song Dynasty was very simple, when the Western Xia did not want to fight, they forced the Western Xia to fight. A big fight.

There is no extravagant hope of attacking the hinterland of Western Xia, as long as the army of Western Xia is dragged along the line of actual control between the two countries, it is enough.

And doing all this is to create conditions for Li Kui. But when I consulted with the minister, there was a change. Zhang Dian first proposed: "The official, Lu Huiqing, the Xuanfu envoy of Dunyan Road, has no experience in warfare, should he select a minister who is capable and familiar with the northwest strategy to preside over the government affairs of Dunyan Road?" ”

This proposal was also easy for Li Qingchen to accept, and he said: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

"The minister also seconded it!" Su Zhe is one of the protagonists, and this contest between the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia will definitely not be able to bypass him. Who let Su Men have a Li Kui, this guy was not properly judged, but God ran to Xixia to be a spy. This is putting your life on the waistband of your pants and letting it go.

Especially Su Zhe was still in the northwest at this time, if Li Kui and Su Zhe had no discussion, no one believed it.

Look at other people's protégés, for the sake of the teacher, when the jinshi says to be a dead soldier, he will be a dead soldier. This kind of envy made even Zhang Dian and Li Qingchen jealous. Because not to mention their protégés, even if they are their own sons, they are probably not happy to let them go to Xixia as spies. With just one point, Su Men's status in the emperor's mind will rise a lot. It will be even more difficult to move Su Zhe in the future.

Although Zhao Xu did not ask for a good plan from the third uncle of the old-timer, he also pondered for a day or two, and felt that the opportunity of civil strife in Western Xia should be seized regardless of whether it was successful or not.

Even if Li Kui's civil strife in Western Xia failed, for the Great Song Dynasty, it was just a border fortress for Chen Bing, and there was no loss.

But what if it succeeds?

Can you do it? Why did you drive Lu Huiqing away as soon as you opened your mouth?

Zhao Xu doesn't understand, how is this Lu Huiqing not treated by you? Beware of him everywhere.

Cautious Zhang Dian, this will really not be a cautious eye, but afraid of Lu Huiqing's bad things. Lu Huiqing has the ability and means, but the important thing is that the character is very bad.

Apostolism was a very serious problem in the eyes of the scholars. Lu Huiqing not only betrayed her faith, but also challenged the bottom line of officialdom and tried to trample her benefactor under her feet. This person is Wang Anshi, and Wang Anshi is the leader of the Fa-Changing faction, which is tantamount to offending everyone in the Fa-Changing faction.

If Lu Huiqing is allowed to gain military merits, and then let him recruit a group of people, even Zhang Dian is a little worried, after Lu Huiqing comes to the court, how much can he use his means.

People are selfish, and Lu Huiqing's means of taking advantage of people's selfishness can be called everyone, which is a lot higher than their gang. Even if the snares are all villains, they are also a group of villains with combat effectiveness. Moreover, as the war escalates, the emperor will definitely pay more and more attention to it, and Lu Huiqing continues to serve as the chief military and political officer in Dunyan Road, and it is easy to cling to the emperor.

Zhang Dian and the others did not dare to let this scourge have a chance to get close to the emperor.

Zhao Xu didn't think about it so deeply, but felt that Zhang Dian was making a bit of a fuss, but he didn't refute, but asked: "Zhang Qing, you have to be familiar with the Yanyan Road, familiar with the northwest, and at the same time have a background that is familiar with the border army, and can also cooperate with Li Kui, such a person is not easy to find, right?" ”

"Fan Chun can do it!"

In the main hall, An Tao spoke, this big guy was able to resist the chaos of Yuan You, and he did not fall in the Shao Shengnian year, so he naturally has his own unique charm - telling the truth.

But the truth is sometimes the most hurtful thing to say.

When Zhang Dian heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy, Fan was purely an official he had set up and belittled, and said that he was suitable to take office on the road to Yanyan, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

Li Qingchen secretly showed a weird smile to An Tao.

This brother, it's amazing!

An Tao's official position is counted as a deputy to the Privy Council, a fellow privy councillor who deals with administrative affairs, and a privy councillor. In the court, the official positions without the status of a bachelor are all raised by the stepmother, and they have no part to speak at all. An Tao's words carried a lot of weight, at least indicating the attitude of the Privy Council. It's okay to change people, but you can't change your people.

He is still one of the few centrists in the court, and he does not participate in the reform faction or the conservative faction, but he raised the scourge of party strife more than ten years ago, and he is an official with outstanding vision. The reason why he wanted to embarrass Zhang Dian was too simple, and he and Zhang Dian were at odds.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and I don't know when, Li Qingchen and An Tao are like wearing a pair of pants.

This is where Zhang Dan's headache lies, this guy is iron, but the emperor also knows that such a person will not cheat for personal gain. There is no problem with the people recommended by An Tao, and even Zhang Duan also recognizes Fan Chun's ability.

Zhang Dian put on a face, looked at An Tao viciously, and said word by word: "Fan is pure and inappropriate." ”

"Dare to ask Zhang Xiang, why is it not appropriate? Fan Chun has several positions in the northwest, knows several states, and has the experience of knowing Yanzhou, so it can be said that he is the most suitable candidate for the Xuanfu envoy of Yanyan Road in the court. ”

An Tao is not a person who is afraid of things, and he has experienced no less wind and waves than Zhang Dian. Others are afraid of Zhang Dan, but he is not afraid. Besides, An Tao doesn't think that Zhang Dian can bring him down, since he has no worries, he is right.

Zhang Dian looked at the emperor quite embarrassed, and said: "Your Majesty has just taken away Fan Chun's dispatch and gone to his rank of direct bachelor, and will go to Jinzhou to take up his post in the near future." Changing the order of the court will damage the prestige of the court and His Majesty. ”

Jinzhou is the southern end of Zhejiang Road, close to Fujian Road. This is a remote place full of ravines and ravines, and if you go to Jinzhou to be an official, you must be demoted.

Emperor Zhao Xu was stunned, although he was annoyed by the ministers quarrelling, he had been in power for a year, and he was almost used to it.

But the dignified prime minister threw the pot and threw it on his head, which was the first time.

Fan Chun was degraded, wasn't it what you asked for? I'm just a matter of drawing a circle, and all the sins I've committed are mine, is there any heavenly reason?

Zhao Xu was very angry, but there was no way, at least one of what Zhang Xuan said was right.

Changing the imperial decree will damage the prestige of the court and the emperor.

Seeing that Emperor Zhao Xu had fallen into a state of suffering from gains and losses, Zhang Xuan suddenly realized that the emperor was dissatisfied with himself! But the emperor can't do what he slaps in the face, can he find a prime minister to do it?

Because of a long time, Zhang Dian stepped and said: "Your Majesty, the key to this plan is Li Kui." It's the same to find an important minister who is familiar with Li Kui and is familiar with the northwest. It doesn't necessarily have to be Fan Chun to go to Yan Yanlu. The minister thought that Su Shi, a retired straight bachelor, would be fine. Li Kui has studied under Su Shi for many years, and there must be a tacit understanding between them. The minister thought that Su Shi was the Xuanfu envoy of Yanyan Road, a bachelor of the Dragon Tuge, and he was in Yan'an Mansion, which would inevitably make Li Kui have no worries. ”

The hatred between Zhang Dian and Su Shi was resolved under the mediation of Li Kui and after Su Shi wrote a letter admitting his mistake. Zhang Dian no longer hates Su Shi, but the relationship can't go back to the past. At a critical time, I felt that Su Shi might be able to help him with thunder. Decided to kindly recommend it.

As soon as he said this, before others were nervous, Su Zhe became nervous.

Let his brother go!

What can his brother do?

As Su Shi's own brother, can he not understand his brother's methods? At the local level, Su Shi's governance is nothing more than that: relief for orphans and widows; water conservancy; Then he founded the medical center.

These three axes can work anywhere in the Central Plains and in Jianghuai.

But the problem is that the northwest is really not suitable for his brother to play.

The most lonely widows in Yanyan Road are widows, food and clothing are secondary, and what is lacking is the pillars of the family, to put it bluntly, they want men. On this one, his brother will have to be blind; The second is to build water conservancy, Yan'an Mansion often has no water, a drought for half a year, how to make political achievements? Finally, and most crucially, the establishment of a medical clinic seems to be a good thing. But Su Shi has already capsized the boat in Xuzhou, mainly because Su Shi is a second knife in medical skills, he took a prescription bought from the doctor in the mountains of Hangzhou, as a miracle medicine to cure all diseases, and took out his 'salvation prescription' at every turn, almost killing thousands of people.

If there is really a big mess, his brother will not be able to protect the late holiday.

Besides, Su Shi is now very comfortable, there is a big Zhuangzi on the edge of Taihu Lake, in the spring breeze, the peach blossoms are in full bloom for three miles, and the smoke waves are vast like fairies. Is it bad to resign peacefully and enjoy your old age? Do you have to rush this trip to troubled waters? The most important thing is that if the imperial court really decrees that Su Shi go to the northwest, Su Zhe is sure that even if Su Shi has no impression at all, he will happily take office. It is simply a model of harming others and harming oneself.

Su Zhe, who was originally going to say nothing, immediately couldn't sit still, he had no intention of competing for the official position of Yan Yanlu, and for him, there was no suitable official to fight for this official position.

If you don't fight, you fight.

Anyway, with Li Kui here, coupled with his performance in Yan Yanlu, he is already very satisfied with this credit in his hands.

But Zhang Dun, this guy, made it clear that his brother would take the blame. Su Zhe absolutely can't bear this. He finally spoke: "Your Majesty, my brother has no experience in guarding the town, and I am afraid that he will have to live up to His Majesty's high expectations." ”

Zhang Dian was dissatisfied, stood in the main hall and looked at Su Zhe, and said, "Ziyou, you are vain." I remember that Zizhan once wrote a poem, in which there is such a sentence: 'Will hold the bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot the wolf.'" 'Northwest, wolf smoke, is Zizhan's lifelong ambition, you shouldn't stop your brother's ambition. ”

This poem was once popular in the Great Song Dynasty.

is the famous song "Jiangchengzi Mizhou Hunting" at the beginning of the momentum like a rainbow: "The old man talks about juvenile madness." The left leads the yellow, and the right is the sky.

Brocade hat mink fur, thousand horses roll Pingoka.

In order to repay the city, follow the Taishou, shoot the tiger in person, and watch Sun Lang. ”

But this is writing words, Su Zhe's brain is about to explode, can his brother's beep level be comparable to the level of town guards?

If there is really this level, Su Shi will always be suppressed?

This desolate beast of the Great Song Dynasty has long been out of the cage and has gone to the Western Xia. The problem is that Su Shi's eloquence is amazing, and his writing is even more amazing, if you really want him to do it, he is a handicap. In case, if Li Kui killed his brother, it would be a lot of fun. In this regard, Su Zhe made his position clear and insisted on refusing to give in, but it is difficult to say that it is inappropriate. Simply he could only make up nonsense: "My brother is sick!" ”

"Alas!" Zhang Dian was surprised: "When did you get sick?" ”

Su Zhe grinned, can he say that he was just sick? I had to continue to make up: "At the beginning of the year, my brother was inconvenient with his hands and feet, and he was bedridden for many days. While speaking, Su Zhe felt that this was not nonsense, could his brother not understand?

The hands and feet are inconvenient and fat, and I am drunk after lying in bed for many days.

Zhang Dian blinked his eyes for a while, and there was a hint of suspicion in his sharp eyes, and he said in his heart: "How sick is it? ”

If you continue to recommend Su Shi again, it will not be appropriate. It's a bit of a falling stone. I had to give up and asked Yang Weidao: "Who else can do it?" ”

Yang Weigang wanted to speak, but was casually glanced at by Li Qingchen, and instantly became vigilant: "Your Majesty, Zhang Xiang, the minister has been in the ministry for many years, and in the past, there was naturally a set of methods for judging whether officials were competent. ”

"No, it's confidential at this time, and you can't let too many people know." Zhao Xu immediately objected, and the assessment was going to make a storm in the city, what secrets were there to keep in this court? Feeling the need to remind, Zhao Xu added: "All of you Aiqing are all ministers of the humerus, and this matter is related to the comfort of my Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years. ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

At this time, Liu Anshi opened his mouth and said: "Fan Chunren, a scholar of the Guanwen Palace, has been an official in the northwest for many years, and his experience is no less than that of Fan Chun, plus he and Li Kui are also familiar with each other, so they should be able to cooperate properly." ”

"Accurate!" Zhao Xu didn't dare to let these important ministers of the court fight, so he simply made his own decision.

"What about the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture?"

Su Zhe asked.

This is the problem he is most concerned about, Li Kui is too unreliable, if no one looks at him, wouldn't it be overturned? Even if he looked at it, he was stunned, and the person was gone. But the position of the prefect of Yan'an Mansion is no longer worthy of Zhang Dun's appearance, and An Tao has no intention of speaking.

In the imperial history, Liu Anshixin said, simply send the Buddha to the west, and take care of it by himself: "Officials, my lords, you may not know that Li Kui has a teacher." ”

"Isn't it Zizhan?"

"He is the ancestor." Liu Anshi said dissatisfied, how can he look at his eyes, if Li Kui is really Su Shi's disciple, when he can see Fan Chunren, who is the same generation as Su Shi, he is so short?

Even the emperor became curious and asked, "But which important minister?" ”

Liu Anshi said embarrassedly: "It seems that the general judgment is made in Yuzhou." It was a jinshi in the early years of Yuan You, Zhou Yuan. ”

"Accurate!"

"That's it!"

"His disciple, let him discipline him!"

……

As if they were united in hatred, all the ministers were surprisingly united. And Master Zhou Yuan is still hiding it in the dark.

Yuzhou.

Chunfeng Building.

This building is a banquet, elegant and wonderful. It belongs to the kind of good place to listen to small songs, the key is good service, the girl is pretty, the store said that they do serious business and attract repeat customers.

Suddenly, a voice sounded downstairs: "Master, it's not good, Madam is here!" ”

A head poked out upstairs, it was Zhou Yuan, who was sentenced, revealing the absurdity of his disheveled clothes, and said to the slave downstairs in shock: "Go to the backyard to set up a ladder, master, I will go to avoid the limelight first!" ”
