Chapter 610 Unfair treatment

Renzong looked at Fan Zhongyan and Xia Shu's faces. When he saw them all pondering, Renzong said, "Chen Shimei, even if you have a great reason, you can solve the problem of the Emperor of Japan. Why are you willing to instigate soldiers to massacre Japanese people?"

Chen Yuan replied: "It was the inappropriate organization that the soldiers fought with the Japanese after entering the city. Long live, I don't know that those Japanese people do not have military uniforms, and the outfits of warriors and civilians are almost the same. When it was dark, it was impossible to tell who was a civilian and who was a warrior."

Fan Zhongyan had fought a war, so he naturally knew that if the situation was really what Chen Yuan said, it would be inevitable that the situation would be out of control. But there was another part of Chen Yuan who could not forgive in his heart: "Chen Shimei, even if you said, what are the faults of those Japanese women? Why did you force them to kidnap?"

Chen Yuan had already thought of an excuse when he dared to bring those Japanese women. He heard Fan Zhongyan’s questioning and said without any hesitation: “Mr. Fan, the old official saw that Kyoto was bleeding. Most of the women had lost their support for life. Staying there made them feel sad and angry. Not only was it not conducive to the relationship between Japan and our Song Dynasty in the future, but they were also helpless after losing their father and brother. Therefore, I want to bring them to Song Dynasty and find a family to marry, so that they can have a stable life in the future.”

"Have you ever wondered what if they don't want you?"

"I thought that if they were unwilling, it would be better to take them to the Song Dynasty to relax. It would be best if they could stay here in the future. If not, I would send them back. I also know that it would be inappropriate to bring them now, but I can't find a better way to make up for the harm caused to them that day."

There is no suspense about the competition between Fan Zhongyan and Chen Yuan. Even if he has an absolute advantage, he is destined to lose in the end, because Chen Yuan is shameless enough that he can say the black ones to the white ones and the trafficking of human beings so high-sounding.

After those Japanese women were transported to Japan, Chen Yuan would take them to the western Xinjiang to relax, and would definitely find a good husband for them. It would be impossible not to be unwilling to do so. Chen Yuan told Xia Sui that these Japanese women would be divided into three levels and rewarded them to those obedient Qiang people.

Many Qiang people don’t have wives now, and I believe they will like these Japanese women. Give them a woman and give them an errand, and Qiang people will be very content. In fact, fighting for dominance of the world is just the idea of ​​those big people. Whether ordinary people are Qiang or Han people, the most basic requirement is to eat their own stomachs and then meet some of their necessary needs.

Japanese women have no choice, and Chen Yuan cannot give them a chance to choose.

However, Fan Zhongyan really has nothing to say now. His impression of Chen Yuan was originally very good, but he could not accept this matter, so he accuses Chen Yuan in a furious manner. Now with an excuse to appease Fan Zhongyan, Fan Zhongyan finally sighed: "Shimei, you are still a little younger! How can we explain to those vassal states when you let us explain it to those vassal states like this?"

Chen Yuan immediately said: "I am willing to accept the punishment, please live the punishment! But it has nothing to do with the soldiers of the three armies at this time, please live the clarification."

Renzong coughed gently: "That's it. As for how to punish me, please come up with a plan and we are doing research. Today's matters end here. Fan Aiqing, after you go back, you are responsible for persuading all officials and not allowing anyone to mention this matter again, so as to minimize its impact. Chen Shimei, you have let me go all the Japanese women in your villa. If you are willing to stay, you must be responsible for resettling their future lives. If you want to go back to Japan, you can send them back."

The three of them clasped their fists together: "I will receive the order!"

After walking out of the gate, Xia Feng smiled at Chen Yuan: "Haha, my son-in-law, this time I will condemn you. This is the will of long live your life. Don't be quarrels."

Chen Yuan said politely: "What does the Prime Minister say? If the subordinates do something wrong, they should be punished."

Xia Feng glanced at Chen Yuan, and his eyes were a little playful. Chen Yuan knew that although this guy was in the ranks of gentlemen, he was actually a despicable and shameless person. Now Xia Feng and Su Xiaoyou are very close, and both of them have their own plans.

As long as he doesn't delay his own affairs, Chen Yuan will not provoke them.

Fan Zhongyan said beside him, "Chen Shimei, I have another thing to tell you, which is about the redundant official."

Chen Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this. The old guy had just beaten him, but now he turned around and came to discuss things. This attitude changed a little too quickly, and Chen Yuan could not accept it. However, Fan Zhongyan said normally: "Since Zhenzong, when the suburbs' sacrificial ceremony or the emperor's birthday, the seventh-rank official can be "one of his descendants to be an official". Officials above the fourth-rank can let relatives of their family be officials, and the second-rank prime minister not only have relatives, but also the disciples and grooms can benefit from it."

When Chen Yuan heard Fan Zhongyan's speech speed very fast, he admired Fan Zhongyan very much. Only a person like him who is selfless can beat him for granted. Now he turns to talk about things calmly.

Fan Zhongyan's expression was very serious: "The children of poor families are interested in the career of the government, and they are tightening their belts and studying hard. The children of officials and gentry who are ignorant of their words are holding a cricket jar. They play with the spring official pictures, which makes Yin Tang look black and drooling. Their parents see that they are also a bad guy who is cumbling outside, so they make up for the real lack of "Xiao and X" and let him guard the gold and silver mountains of the treasury, and do whatever they like! They don't take the country seriously at all! The imperial examination scholars are appointed as "the heretics", and they will not be able to "be bless" in another ten or eight years. They are willing to serve the country but have no way to report. If this situation does not change, our Song Dynasty will eventually be destroyed in the hands of these people one day."

Fan Zhongyan, who has always been gentle, said such heavy words really shocked Chen Yuan. This was enough to convince Fan Zhongyan's anxiety and anger in his heart: "I originally asked for a long time to report and immediately abolish Yin Meng's strategy, but not only did it not be accurate, but also named my son a sixth-rank candidate, which was really distressing. No one in the court agreed with me. I want to know how you think about this matter?"

Chen Yuan thought in his heart that those people would certainly not agree, which involves their vital interests. Not everyone is worried about the world like Fan Zhongyan. For example, he is the one who first satisfies his own interests and then takes into account the righteousness of the whole country.

The problem of redundant officials is the most critical link in the reform. The new policy is also a war. Just like Chen Yuan putting the Liao Kingdom at the end on the battlefield and being cautious, he should also be cautious and cautious about redundant officials.

Chen Yuan would not touch the problem of this redundant official because he was not sure, and this problem may cause a certain degree of turmoil. Therefore, before solving the biggest enemy of the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty, Chen Yuan did not want to touch the redundant official.

Fan Zhongyan's personality is destined to be able to do things steadily, but he is definitely not the one who can rub sand in his eyes. He will say it out if it is wrong, and let everyone know that this matter is wrong.

Actually, does Xia Shun know this truth? Do Ouyang Xiu and Fu Bi and others know it? Of course, they also know it, but they hope that this system can bring benefits to other people's children and grandchildren, while also bringing benefits to their disciples and students, and increasing prestige to themselves.

Chen Yuan clasped his fists at Fan Zhongyan and said, "Sir, this problem is indeed difficult to solve, but as long as you are determined, Chen Shimei should help you. Don't know what I can do to help you?"

When Fan Zhongyan heard that Chen Yuan did not refuse himself like Fu Bi, nor did he fight him like Ouyang Xiu. He felt a lot of comfort in his heart: "Oh, I have countless disciples and students in my life, but I didn't expect that you are the only one who is willing to help me on this issue. Okay, I still need your newspaper to promote this matter more, and you will refuse."

Chen Yuan nodded and agreed. He knew that Fan Zhongyan was going to cause trouble again. Sometimes the things that a gentleman would do were very big. When Fan Zhongyan wanted to abolish this cute system, the whole court would be like a tsunami.

What he had to do was to give Fan Zhongyan a strong momentum, make the tsunami look more violent, and make the scholars and officials concentrate their energy on Fan Zhongyan and forget themselves. It would be best if they use a person to be honest, but if they don't use it, they would be sorry for themselves.

"Mr. Fan, in fact, the talent of the young master is perfectly qualified for any official position. Xiaguan has met Mr. Chunyou for several times. His talent is no less than Sima Guang. If you let him become an official in the court, no one would say anything." Chen Yuan said softly.

Fan Zhongyan said in a firm tone: "I have rejected the emperor's title for him. If he really has the ability, he will give me a test for the imperial list by himself."

Chen Yuan sighed slightly in his heart. It was a blessing for the Song Dynasty to meet such a minister. If he met such a man, he could only be considered unlucky for Fan Chunyou. Fan Zhongyan not only did not help Fan Chunyou, but also blocked the way he walked.

When Chen Yuan went back to arrange those Japanese women, Fan Zhongyan went back to prepare for the war with the ministers in the court. His own son was sitting in the tavern, drinking pot after pot.

Seeing that Fan Chunyou's eyes were red, Ouyang Xiu hurriedly held the wine pot: "Chunyou, okay, don't drink it anymore."

Fan Chunyou opened Ouyang Xiu's hand: "Don't worry about me!"

Ouyang Xiu sighed: "You should also think about it for Lord Lingzun. Lingzun is now thinking about abolishing those things, so how could he let the emperor make you an official?"

Fan Chunyou's face showed a sneer: "I'm thinking about him? I've been thinking about him since I was a child! Just Xia Shu's two sons were walking around the streets with bird cages. Now they are an official in the Ministry of Personnel. Where are me? I'm reading books! He said that poor scholars have been studying hard for ten years. When did I come out to play in the years? I have worked harder than those poor scholars!"

Ouyang Xiu nodded: "I know, I know, but there are some things that cannot be seen like this. It makes Lord Zun upright, and we who are juniors should not cause trouble for him."

Fan Chunyou picked up the wine pot and took a sip: "Trouble? The emperor asked me to go to Liao Kingdom, so I asked me to perform a procedure. I did a good job in this matter? Not only did I do what the emperor taught, but I also made it clear what happened in Liao Kingdom before coming back. Even the emperor praised me for being able to do it. Look at the two sons of the Prime Minister Lu before, except for waiting at home for Chen Shimei to give them silver. What else would they do? A few years ago, the emperor asked them to build a dam and they couldn't repair it well. Am I more troublesome than them?"
