Chapter 330 The pictures of all officials

What's even more sad is that Renzong has completely lost confidence in the current Song army. He no longer believes that the Song army can win battles. So he believes in the tongue of the literati, so he also wants to change the current situation of the Song army.

There is really nothing to say about Mu Guiying and Renzong now. The so-called "not speculating" should be between her and Renzong.

So after getting Renzong's approval, Mu Guiying immediately wanted to leave. Renzong did not try to keep Mu Guiying, but just kept Zeng Gongliang and Chen Yuan.

After Mu Guiying left, Renzong looked at them: "Who are you going to find Marshal Mu?"

Just as Chen Yuan was thinking about how to answer this question appropriately, Zeng Gongliang had already spoken: "Long live back, I feel that I really have no choice, so I went to Tianbo Mansion with Chen Aisi."

Renzong smiled coldly: "Hmph, if it were you, you would have gone long ago. Chen Shimei!"

Chen Yuan knew that he had to take on this matter! He said hurriedly: "Long live, I just wanted Tianbo Mansion to lend us some personal soldiers, and there was no other intention!"

Renzong glanced at it and finally said no reproach: "This is the case. If there are any difficulties in the future, I will directly say it. If you need soldiers, I can allocate hundreds of imperial guards to you. Remember, don't go to Tianbo Mansion to disturb the marshals again!"

This is Renzong's attitude towards Tianbo Mansion, this is the attitude of the Song Dynasty towards those who have conquered the country! This has been the case since Zhao Kuangyin. They hope that the warriors who helped them conquer the country and guarded the river would put away their swords and be rich at home.

This is very unfair to those fierce generals! They need not a stable life, they need a battlefield, and a stage where they can show their courage!

Just like Chen Yuan also needed a stage. He looked at Renzong quietly and found that Renzong's face was very bad. Will he give it to himself in the future? Chen Yuan didn't know, if he didn't give it, then he would make it by himself!

After a while, Renzong suddenly took out a picture and said, "This is the picture of Lord Fan giving me the officials today. You can take a look."

The eunuch took the picture and walked down to unfold it in front of Zeng Gongliang and Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan was extremely shocked when he saw this picture for the first time! He was sure that this was the trap Pang Ji set for Fan Zhongyan!

This picture shows the 100 Beijing officials who have been promoted this year! The experiences and channels of promotion of each of them were explained very clearly by Fan Zhongyan in this clear form of "reading pictures and writing words"!

Who was promoted through normal channels, who was bought, and whose student was promoted by his mentor, is very clear on it!

Chen Yuan secretly glanced at Zeng Gongliang, and there was also Zeng Gongliang's name on it. It can be seen that Zeng Gongliang, a Beijing official, was promoted by Renzong through normal channels. However, Zeng Gongliang's face looked very bad!

Chen Yuan knew very well that every industry had its own unspoken rules, which may be reasonable or unreasonable, but everyone covered these rules, afraid that people outside would know about it. Fan Zhongyan’s picture of officials exposes all the unspoken rules of the Song Dynasty officialdom at once.

A storm is destined to come. In this, Fan Zhongyan must be the one at the forefront! Thinking of this, Chen Yuan felt helpless sympathy for Fan Zhongyan!

He is indeed a good person and a good official. After being an official for so many years, he has not been touched by the sleekness of the officialdom. He is honest, works hard, works diligently, and is loyal to the country! As long as he thinks it is beneficial to the country and can benefit the people, he will say whatever he should say, and he will do whatever he should do, without any scruples!

However, such a person can only be written into history books for future generations to admire and worship. In the torrent of history, he can only make that faint sad sound! He cannot become the master.

The official picture is very clear, the prime minister of the dynasty Lu Yijian!

Chen Yuan also knew that Lu Yijian would never say anything now. Fan Zhongyan’s “Picture of Officials” was above the court. When “there is a book on the top of the court, but no book on the court” was not a "small report" sent privately. In such an occasion, if Lu Yijian could not calm down, abused his power, and demoted his official position, it would not be said that the civil and military officials in the court were dissatisfied with the hearts of the emperor, even the emperor would not be able to see it.

Also, although Fan Zhongyan's painting skills are not high, they are realistic. Lu Yijian really has nothing to say about these things.

But don't think that Lu Yijian would forget it like this. Pang Ji is a bad guy, Lu Yijian is a villain, and the villain will be happy to kill you in front of you. However, villains like Lu Yijian often like to quietly pull out the knife when you can't see it.

This kind of villain is the nemesis of a gentleman like Fan Zhongyan!

Chen Yuan finally knew what trap Lao Pang had put for Fan Zhongyan! The bait placed in this trap was Lu Yijian!

Lao Pang is bad enough! He can actually throw his allies out as bait!

Fan Zhongyan was also honest enough. He knew that the best ending of doing this was to take Lu Yijian to fish in Hainan, but in order to save a villain in the court, he would rather give up himself!

But, what would Lu Yijian do? He would never sit still and wait for death. This is not the personality of a villain. A gentleman is generous and a villain can tolerate it. What kind of method would Lu Yijian use to fight back?

The eunuch put away the picture, and Renzong looked at Chen Yuan: "Chen Shimei, what do you think after seeing this picture?"

Chen Yuan didn't know what Renzong was thinking, but from his perspective, only Lu Yijian supported him the most in the entire court, and it would be no benefit to Chen Yuan when Lao Lu fell. So he had to stand on Lu Yijian's side no matter what!

Chen Yuan is also a villain. At this moment, the first thing he thought of was his own interests, not the righteousness of the country. This is the main reason why he was able to get together with Lu Yijian. But he is still a kind villain and has deep respect for those gentlemen who are admired by people. So he wanted Lu Yijian to win, nor did he want Fan Zhongyan to lose! But these are not the issues that he, a little guard, should consider. Chen Yuan knew that the time for him to fight with these big men was not yet. Now, what he had to do was to build the cornerstone under his feet!

What he needs now is connections. If both a villain and a gentleman support him, it would be the best. If he had to make a choice, he hoped to get help from a villain, not the support of the gentleman who was admired.

"Long live, I think that the inappropriate promotions drawn on this picture still need to be verified."

Renzong looked at Chen Yuan: "I have asked the Ministry of Personnel to check it. I will personally review the resumes of everyone on this!"

Chen Yuan whispered: "Long live, I don't mean that."

Renzong looked at him strangely: "What should I check?"

Chen Yuan didn't know what Lu Yijian's counterattack method was, so he was unable to cooperate with Lu Yijian yet, so he just let him go: "This is not something that Weichen, a little archer, can say, so please forgive me for your sins."

Renzong smiled and said, "This is not a place where Ai Shi can come. Since you are here, just say it."

Chen Yuan responded, "For example, Weichen, the guards, took office with the famous letter from the Prime Minister Lu, but it means long live. If one day someone said that I, the guards, also gave money to the Prime Minister Lu, would inevitably wrongly accuse the Prime Minister."

Renzong thought about it and felt that there was some truth. Lu Yijian is now in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, and all the businessmen of the Beijing officials need Lu Yijian's famous letters. If the more than 50 people promoted abnormally on the map of the officials were all attached to Lu Yijian, it seemed that he would be wronged. But he also felt that Lu Yijian was always difficult to escape from the relationship.

Before Renzong could finish his thoughts, Chen Yuan continued: "Besides, the responsibility of Prime Minister Lu is to select talents for the emperor. If everything is done step by step, how can he let talents be one step ahead?"

Renzong didn't say anything for a long time, and finally snorted and turned the topic away: "I knew you would definitely say this when asked you! How did you do for me about Li Wei?"

Chen Yuan knew that Renzong had actually listened to his words. Chen Yuan really forgot about Li Wei! He met Hu Yan Ruizhu and Zhang Kuangzheng and others when he came home from the palace yesterday. He was happy to throw this matter out of the sky.

Besides, it’s only two days, Renzong is too anxious, right?

Chen Yuan didn't know that as a father, he always felt uncomfortable when he watched his daughter stay at home.

What made Renzong even more frustrated was that the ministers in the court were meddling in other people's business. The censors led by Ouyang Xiu and Yu Jing actually took charge of Renzong's family affairs and denounced the eldest princess in the court, "I don't change my parents' strictness, I will be fearless and despise my husband's family!" Liang Huaiji "is not self-care, and he is extremely evil. He will be punished with great sins."

They strongly demanded that Renzong punish the princess and kill Liang Huaiji!

These guardians never thought about dealing with their daughter's problem from their father's perspective. In their opinion, it is time for them to stand up and maintain the so-called "Three Bonds and Five Constant Permanences"!

The eldest princess Renzong was reluctant to punish him. He was his daughter. In Renzong's opinion, the eldest princess was the little girl who was "pure and filial" at the time and was willing to kneel in front of him and pray for her blessings to the sky for a day!

Liang Huaiji can't kill him, but now if he kills him, the eldest princess will hate her father for the rest of her life!

But the censors of the Song Dynasty were really amazing! They not only talked about the matter in the court, but also took it outside the court to talk! Renzong cared about reputation and the royal face. So, he could only look forward to the people of the Li family stopping making trouble!

He passed the news to the Li family from all angles, but he did not respond. Now that he saw Chen Yuan, he naturally asked about this matter again.

Chen Yuan immediately said: "Long live back, I haven't found the right time yet, so don't worry, I will give me a satisfactory reply to this matter."

Renzong nodded helplessly: "Okay, you can do your best. Go back."
