Xing Shu, the minister of the imperial court, was detained by Li Kui.

This time, Li Kui refuted the face of the imperial court, from the emperor and the ministers, all of them were pale.

With such a big rebellion, Li Kuizhen is only one thought away from rebellion.

What to do?

Zhao Xu asked Zhang Dan, and Zhang Duan asked who to go?

Facing the emperor's disappointed eyes, Zhang Dian said that he was incompetent, and after returning home, Zhang Dian saw that his third son Zhang Zhu secretly wanted to go out, and pointed at Zhang Zhu angrily: "Bastard thing, the face of the Zhang family has made you lose everything." ”

"Dad, my son didn't go to drink flower wine!" Zhang Sanye looked at his father aggrievedly, not really aggrieved, after all, he was used to it. But because he felt worthless for his father, Zhang Dian was angry, it must have been because he touched the emperor's nose somewhere. If something big happens in the court, who else will be held accountable if the prime minister is not responsible?

But the question is, is this his family's responsibility?

Seeing that Zhang Xuan's anger was soaring, Zhang Zhu hurriedly explained: "Dad, my son really hasn't been out for a long time. Since the disbandment of the Military Command Bureau, my son has basically cut off contact with people outside, and he has not gone to drink and listen to music. ”

"What do you mean that the Military Command Bureau is dissolved?" Hearing this, Zhang Dian couldn't help but get angry: "Li Kui is gone, and Cai Jing, even if Cai Jing is sick now, there are still you, the yamen of the Military Command Bureau is here, or the official office of the imperial court, how can you say that it is dispersed?" ”

Cai Jing said that he was sick, absolutely deliberately, and even said that he deliberately gave people the opportunity to snatch the military command bureau. After all, in the Military Unification Bureau, Cai Jing is the second-in-command, and Cai Jing's qualifications are much higher than Li Kui's, and he is not comparable to Zhang Zhi. In addition, his younger brother Cai Bian is still the deputy minister, as long as Cai Jing is in charge of the Military Unification Bureau, all parties who want to pay attention to the Military Unification Bureau must think twice.

But Cai Jing deliberately called himself sick, so he gave all parties a chance.

Many of the workshops of the Military Command Bureau are businesses that make money every day, and it is inevitable that people will be greedy.

Cai Jing is also profitable to do this. All parties got the benefits, although they were robbed, but without Cai Jing's connivance, there was no chance to start at all. And Cai Jing's move is equivalent to feeding the entire court at once, if the parties who have benefited don't pay any gifts in return, they can't say it. Besides, Cai Jing's cheapness, how can it be easy to take advantage of?

It is said that Cai Jing has begun to prepare for the official position of privy envoy in private, and there is a great opportunity.

As for the Military Bureau?

In the hands of Li Kui, this yamen is just an excessive official position, and an old man in officialdom like Cai Jing doesn't look down on the chief official of the yamen at all.

But Cai Jing ran away, and it was Zhang Zhu who suffered. Don't look at Zhang Zhu's name as a prime minister's son, you can get a discount if you go to the hook bar, and you don't pay for drinking flowers...... But in the face of a group of extremely vicious nobles and bigwigs, he, a seven-rank civil official, really can't stop it. Moreover, Zhang Dian would not support Zhang Confer, and Zhang Dian did not want Zhang Confer to be an official. This time, the yamen was ransacked, and it also weighed his heart.

When Zhang Zhu heard this, he had a sad face like a bitter gourd, and shouted: "The yamen is still there, but the people's hearts are scattered, and the treasury has been copied by the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War. Even more than a dozen workshops have been divided. What is the difference between panicking up and down all day long and scattering? Dad, my son didn't mean you, but Cai Xiang, Zeng Xiang's popularity is too ugly, and I can't wait to pick up the graves of the Military Command Bureau. Tens of millions of dollars, and I don't know who is cheaper. ”

"What do you know, you think your father and I can sit in the prime minister's seat and sit back and relax?" Zhang Dian paused and said angrily: "If it weren't for Li Kui, this kid who doesn't know the severity, how could things have become like this." Now that he is good, he even dares to detain the imperial court, and he is just a thought away from rebellion. ”

"No, it won't! Jay...... It's pretty steady! Zhang Zhu always felt that Li Kui was stable and reliable, but he didn't expect Li Kui to be so careless now. But then he thought about it, but said lonely: "It's not his fault." Since Renjie was recalled, he has been in obscurity, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. The reason why he left was probably because Su Xiang's matter stimulated him. But father, you ask yourself, can't Li Kui's great victory in the Battle of Zhuoyan be crowned king? ”

Zhang Dun did not answer this. It's all. But if you really want to talk about it, Li Kui established the advantage of the Great Song Dynasty in the battle against the Liao State, and it can be said that his majesty is all over the foreign races. Even if it is a reward for meritorious deeds after the war, it should be at the top, and the king can really consider it. It should also be considered. After all, the defeat of Yanzhou is actually equivalent to announcing that the Great Song Dynasty has recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun.

However, I am not afraid of anything else, I am afraid of pink eye.

There are a lot of people in the court who have no ability, and they don't do anything except jealous people.

"How is that possible?" Zhang Dian was stunned, Su Zhe was driven out of the court, Cai Bian jumped up and down for a long time, the obsession of this prince and son-in-law made Zhang Dian feel a little chilled sometimes.

But it's this obsession that really made him do it.

Zhang said: "Father, think about it, after Su Xiang left the court, did he make more small movements against Renjie?" ”

Zhang Duan thought for a moment, it was really like this, Xing Shu jumped out of this period.

Zhang Zhu said sadly: "If I were a master, this broken official would not be appropriate." Of course, he can't do it, hang the seal and leave. But when will the day of being framed come to an end? Father, you touch your chest and ask yourself, these people can't wait to attack people, is it really as simple as not having a person who is a king among civil officials? Didn't they take a fancy to the dozens of workshops that were making money every day, and the mountains of wealth that were piled up in the Military Command Bureau......"

"Shut up! Get out, get out of the way! ”

Zhang Dan was ashamed and angry, and there was no problem at all with some words hidden in his heart, but if he said it, he would be in trouble. Zhang Zhu is like this now, his broken mouth is easy to bring disaster to himself. Of course, there is no need to worry about Zhang Dun's reign, but what if he leaves?

For Prime Minister Zhangdun, scolding his son is just his daily routine. In his eyes, Zhang Zhu, the third son, is really not angry. Of course, there is another reason, of his five sons, only the third chapter is dangling in front of his eyes, which exacerbates Zhang Dan's feeling that his son is not a weapon.

Can you give a mission?

Even Zhang Dian didn't think that his family was inferior, and he was more protective of his sons. If the father and son all entered the court as jinshi, the Zhang family would be doomed. Of course, sometimes Zhang Dian will also feel that Zhang Dian is not very good, so he can be common. He didn't have great ambitions and lost the face of the Zhang family.

Cai Jing has eight sons, none of whom have passed the Jinshi examination. When the boss Cai You was too learned, he was often at the bottom, and he didn't even get the exam.

But Zhangdun's five sons were all admitted to the Jinshi, not to mention, the palace examination rankings were good, and the highest old five palace exams ranked fifth. That is, Zhang Sanye, ranked three hundred away, a bit embarrassing. But this kind of shame is too late for others to envy it. The Great Song Dynasty opened the imperial examination, and more than 600 people would be admitted at most times, most of whom were Jinshi courses. It can be said that Zhang Sanye's grades are not too bad, at least among the nengzhong jinshi scholars, they are also medium-sized.

If Cai You can be admitted to the Jinshi, Cai Jing will wake up laughing in the middle of the night.

But the Zhang family is too terrifying, and there are more than 20 people (alive) in the family who have the fame of Jinshi, and there are two champions.

Zhang Sanye, who is a scholar outside, is a scumbag in Pucheng, Fujian, a place with a big palm, and in the family, it is even more shameful to be at the bottom.

According to the hard spirit of the old Zhang family, Zhang Zhu should give up his identity as a jinshi and participate in the imperial examination again, not to mention anything else, the top ten in the palace examination are not too much......

But with this minimum standard, Zhang Sanye knew that even if he didn't want to die, he wouldn't be able to do it!

And Zhang Zhu felt that he was disliked by his father, and he lost his father's love because of his unsatisfactory performance in the palace examination. The old Zhang family has never been so ashamed. Since the palace examination, Zhang Zhu has begun to get tired of studying, not to mention the more frustrated he becomes, the more courageous he becomes, he gives up his fame, and continues to take the next subject, and he wins the first three Jinshi and the first in the palace examination.

The master of Jinshi, who is admired outside, Wenqu Xing descends to earth, in the Zhang family, a place where the top students gather, Zhang Sanye is a salted fish, and he does not have the kind of turning over.

But when his son left his sight, Zhang Dian was also endlessly depressed in his heart. His son Zhangzhu's words reminded him that he repeatedly connived at the so-called officialdom allies, but are these allies really worth his repeated tolerance?

scolded his son, Zhang Dian remembered a difficult matter, and after thinking about it, it seemed that only his son could do it.

"Third master, the master told you to go to the study."

"This ......" Zhang Zhu looked at the housekeeper at home with a strange face, he had just been scolded away by the old man, why did he call him again? Isn't this a pastime for him to scold?

I have the heart to go, but I don't dare.

I thought my dad was angry and wanted to discipline him.

After all, since Zhang Sanye was known as the prodigal son, Zhang Dan's temper has been much more violent.

I glanced around the study, but I didn't see the sword that Zhang Dian often liked to carry with him in the early years. If Zhang Dun's sword was in his hand, Zhang Zhu would definitely have to flee in the wilderness. Zhang Dian will not draw his sword and kill people, after all, he is a son, and Zhang Sanye will not become a weapon again, and he will not come to this point. but he uses the scabbard as a stick to teach a lesson, and he can have it. This thing hits the body, there are edges and corners, and there are metal pieces, but it hurts!

Don't ask Zhang Sanye how he learned about such a big killing weapon as the scabbard, he won't say.

Zhang Zhu stood tremblingly in front of Zhang Dian and asked cautiously: "Father, my son is here!" ”

"Sit down!"

Without waiting for Zhang Zhu to sit down, just now his butt was against the surface of the chair, Zhang Dian said lightly: "I am going to recommend you for my father, go to Dengzhou on behalf of the imperial court, and talk openly and honestly with Li Kui." ”

"Dad, people will die, white-haired people send black-haired people ......"

Zhang Zhu's face was so frightened that he bounced up from his chair in horror, but his eyes never left Zhang Xuan. But what disappointed him was that Zhang Dian didn't react at all, but said to himself: "Your Majesty is mad, and I don't know who I listened to, and I have plans to send troops." I don't look at the people in the court, who seem to be able to win a war with a soldier. Especially in the mouth of His Majesty: The famous generals of the Great Song Dynasty seem to be only Gao Yu! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Dian looked at his son with a strange face and asked, "Gao Yu is also a famous general?" ”

Zhang Dun didn't understand, but Zhang Zhu understood it very well.

Gao Yu used to be Su Shi's scholar, and he was a bear child more than ten years ago. When I grow up, except for the charm of Su Shi's six or seven points, the others are bragging, lustful and greedy for money, and they lack nothing.

Following Su Shi to run around, Zhang Dian has known Gao Yu for more than ten years, so he didn't see that this guy had the aura of a famous general. It's a burst of luck, and follow Li Kui all the way to pick up cheap.

But Emperor Zhao Xu didn't know who he had listened to, and firmly believed that Gao Yu was a famous general. Moreover, Gao Yu was the first subordinate of Li Kui to submit his name, which really made people look at him.

As for the judgment that Gao Yu is a famous general, the reason is very simple, in the Battle of Zhuoyan, Gao Yu commanded the battle on the Western Front and captured five states of Liao in one go, but Li Kui only fought two and a half. One Zhuozhou, one Yanzhou, and half Yizhou. It seems that in such a comparison, Gao Yu's strength is twice that of Li Kui.

But in the five states that Gao Yu faced, the combined strength of the Liao State was only more than 10,000, and it was still a local servant army, and its strength was limited. But Li Kui is facing 150,000 elites of the Liao Kingdom, can this be compared?

Even Zhang Zhu couldn't stand it anymore, and sighed: "Isn't this?" ”

"That's right, you can also see that it is very gratifying for my father, this is someone who wants to die. The purpose of your trip to Dengzhou is not to save Xing Shu, but to sit down with Li Kui openly and honestly, what does he want? ”

"But...... Jay? Zhang Zhu worried: "If my son can't come back......

"Li Kui is not crazy yet, he will not embarrass you. The detention of Xing Shu is a personal anger and a personal vendetta. Do you have a grudge against him, why should he be unfavorable to you? Besides, he's crazy and won't do anything to you. You are kind to Li Kui, if he kills you, how can he stand in the world? Zhang Dian said angrily: "Father promised you, after you come back, you can take a concubine." ”

"That's a lot of money!" After experiencing the robbery of the Military Command Bureau, Zhang Zhu also seems to have found that he has no talent to be an official. Originally, he was quite grateful to Cai Jing for pretending to be sick and deliberately making him, the third master of the Military Command Bureau, in charge. Just as Zhang Zhu was ready to do a big job, a ransack of the Military Command Bureau caught him off guard.

Afterwards, he realized that he and the Military Unification Bureau had let Cai Jing sell. But if you don't become an official, your life is empty-

"My Zhang family has been an official eunuch for generations, and you still need this little money to pay for concubines? The top card of the teaching workshop, as long as you like it, you can do it as you like. ”

Zhang Zhu's face suddenly turned cloudy, and Zhang Dian did give up a lot of things in order to maintain the prestige of the prime minister. Restricting his son from being an official is one thing. At the same time, the strict control of the family is also one of them. If it was before, it would have been impossible for Zhang Dian to agree to accept a concubine from Zhang, or to teach the dust girl of the workshop, wouldn't this corrupt the style of the Zhang family?

But now, he can't take care of it.

Zhang Dian also mentioned someone: "Hao Sui will also go with you." ”

"Father, since the court needs his son to serve, and the son has no hesitation, as the saying goes: Although there are tens of millions of people, I will also go! This is the righteousness of heaven and earth, who else can I be! ”

Zhang Dian looked at his own stupid child, felt aggrieved in his heart, lowered his head, and silently recited in his heart: "Evil animal! ”
