The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 135
Zeng Bu asked again, but Han Zhongyan didn't answer.

After asking too many questions, Han Zhongyan only said: "If you want to get drunk with me, then raise a glass."

Having said this, Zeng Bu also knew that it was inappropriate to ask again. If he wanted to ask, he would wait until Han Zhongyan calmed down.

drink.

Zeng Bu also composed a poem.

That night, Han Zhongyan was drunk and fell asleep on the bed.

Zeng Bu's family came to deliver food.

Zeng Bu knew what happened at the court meeting today.

From what Zeng Bu heard, Han Zhongyan was really a scapegoat. He had probably heard about the affair, and it was probably the clan's fault, and Han Zhongyan's younger brother was the consort, so the Han family was scapegoated.

There are other things like hurting people and killing others, robbing other people's property...etc.

The Han family will not do things that only these little thieves can do.

It is the crime of abandoning Hehuang.

Han Zhongyan cannot be considered guilty of this matter, he can only be said to have done it.

It was another thing that aroused Zeng Bu's vigilance.

Zhang Dun is about to return to power, and he has a secret agreement with Concubine Zhu. What kind of secret agreement is it?

Zeng Bu felt that his chance to make a comeback had come.

That night, some people started to get active.

Liang Mansion, Flower Hall.

Liang Xin was drinking some wine, and Capt. Iron handed him a list and left.

Zhang Dun laughed after reading the list: "I used a little trick to find the hidden henchmen of this thief...hahaha."

Su Shi: "Shit, you are so vicious, you did the same to me back then."

Zhang Dun suddenly became serious: "For you, no. You are a hypocrite. Although you are talented, you are not wise. I don't need to use any means to deal with you. I can handle you casually."

"Old man..." Seeing that the two of them were about to start scolding, Liang Xin quickly said, "I have a doubt in my heart."

"Tell me." Zhang Dun also got off the donkey along the slope.

Liang Xin said: "According to the records of Zhaowen Hall, in the sixth year of Yuanfeng, An Tao knew the Privy Council, Xixia sent troops and sent envoys. Zhezong asked about the two mansions (the Privy Council is the West Palace, and the Zhongshu Gate is the East Palace, collectively called the Second Palace) ) gave suggestions to abandon all Xi, He and other states, and An Tao fought on his own to oppose such an approach."

Zhang Dun stroked his beard and said, "Remember, what he wrote at that time was this: From Lingwu to the east, they are all the hometown of China. The late emperor had such martial arts, but now he abandons it for no reason. Wouldn't he take it lightly than the foreigners?"

Liang Xin asked: "Why did he choose to give up Hehuang this time?"

Zhang Dun thought for a while: "I'll take a guess. He must think that this is the best choice. Ascension to the throne is not enough to protect the ancestral heritage. If you give up some things that you can't hold in the first place, you can still keep more. If you don't If you give up, you may lose more.”

Su Shi also said: "Although this old thief is not a good person, I agree with what he said this time. An Tao studied under Hu Yuan."

Hu Yuan and Liang Xin have heard of it.

Known as Mr. Anding in history, as far as Liang Xin knows, he has three major achievements.

It standardized musical rhythm for the Song Dynasty, advocated boarding in schools for Taipei students, required all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical education, and music, implemented subject-specific teaching, and promoted universal education, etc.

The author of the book "Martial Arts Rules" advocates the development of martial arts to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.

And, pioneered Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty.

He is a pioneer, thinker and educator in Neo-Confucianism.

Su Shi's words are saying, how could Hu Yuan's students be people who casually succumbed to foreign enemies?

Therefore, Su Shi supported Zhang Dun's analysis.

An Tao also looked down upon Zhao Ji, so abandoning Hehuang was a helpless move.

After the Battle of Hehuang began, An Tao asked for advice several times and demoted himself. Today, the court also proposed returning to his hometown after becoming an official.

Zhang Dun picked up the wine glass and was stunned for a while: "Brother Xin, please invite Mr. Fan to come forward. You invite An Tao to drink and invite him to serve as Zuopu She. There is no need to let him know about the matters in the courtyard. Mr. Fan knows the appropriateness. .”

"kindness."

Su Shi added: "It's Fan Chunren." Zhang Dun was also right: "In those days, there were many outstanding people under Mr. Anding, including Sun Jue and others who were good at classics and righteousness, Fan Chunren and others who were good at business, Qian Zao and others who were good at literature and art. , Miao Xue and others who are good at military affairs, as well as those who are good at water conservancy and engineering construction. And An Tao, who claims to have no talent."

After saying this, Zhang Dun glanced at Su Shi and said, "You are also a great talent, but your disciple can also write poetry."

Su Shi: "Who is your disciple?"

Zhang Dun replied: "I'm not good at teaching."

……

Liang Xin poured wine for the two of them: "Here, drink. Let's talk about Zeng Bu."

Zeng Bu didn't know it yet, but this time the evil man Zhang Dun had set him up.

The little wealth he left behind could uproot Zhang Dun at any time, it just depends on Zhang Dun thinking about it or not.

It turned out that Zhang Dun was still thinking, only staring at Zeng Bu's family.

Chen Cisheng believes that anyone who is complicit is a sinner and must be punished together.

Only then did Zhang Dun play a little trick after Han Zhongyan was imprisoned.

Han Zhongyan, an honest man.

I'm not good at acting, so I only had one line, and the rest I just had to be silent.

Now, the pressure is on the clan, especially some of Zhao Ji's cousins.

The house raids began.

Preparatory work has begun for the tax camp.

At present, the tax camp has received about [-] new forces, [-] strong donkeys, the food is definitely better than ordinary donkeys, and they are also wearing donkey costumes when they go out, with a huge sign printed on each side of the left and right sides. (tax) word.

This time the house was searched, and the leader was Liang Xin's concubine.

But it was not Wang Jingyu, but Zhao Youfu's newly adopted daughter, who was renamed Zhao Bijun.

By the way, this person has been here for a few days and I haven't met Liang Xin yet.

Liang Xin has been a little busy recently.

Just as the tax camp was making preparations, their backbone returned.

There was a ship jam at the pier in Bianjing City.

There are too many boats coming from Hezhong Mansion, too many, too many.

At the tax camp in Bianjing City, 1000 people were borrowed from the Dianqian Division to go to the dock to help move supplies.

First boat.

While unloading the goods, I stared at the melon-eating people in Bianjing City.

A huge piece of rock, five feet long, that looked like a rock, took hundreds of people to move it from the boat to the pier.

Someone has sharp eyes and saw clearly what it was.

"Money, it's money."

That's right, it's money.

The local evil gentry teamed up with the evil officials in the government to rob other people's property, bully men and dominate women... They did all kinds of bad things. Although the tax camp did not examine cases, it did manage to investigate tax evasion.

Professional documents and evidence were found, proving that this evil gentry had missed taxes for at least 80 years, starting when his great-grandfather was running a cloth farm and grain store.

Therefore, the tax camp does not care about the crime, but only collects the tax arrears.

Copy home.

After digging nearly a foot deep in the garden, they dug out the pile of money that the evil gentry had hidden in the ground many years ago.

Someone knows the goods.

"It's silvery gray, like the soil on the east side of Hezhong Mansion. It turns out to be Tongbao from the Song and Yuan Dynasties."
