Chapter 1472: Presenting the Facts

However, the hard part is that the difficulty in this matter is not to deal with Gao Taotao and Zhao Xu, or even Sima Guang and Lu Gongzu, but to deal with Zhang Dun himself!

Zhang Dun is the most difficult person to deal with in the world today.

He dared to resist the joint pressure of Zhao Xu and Cai Que, and even when Zhao Xu had given up and just complained that "I can't do anything I want to do," I still dared to retort "It's so satisfying." It’s okay if you don’t do it!” Tiehanhan’s demeanor is not even a little bit worse than Bao Xiaosu and Tang Zifang?

At least in Su You's mind, although Zhang Dun was naive, brave, stubborn, and ruthless, he was definitely one of the few sensible people in the Song Dynasty.

Compared with Wang Gui and Cai Que, Zhang Dun can definitely deserve the title of "true prime minister".

What a pity for talent.

Su You couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this. When did he start feeling that Zhang Dun was "a pity for talent"?

Seeing the funny smile on Su You's face, Zhang Dun was puzzled: "Mingrun, what are you laughing at?"

Only then did Su You react: "Oh, it's nothing. From an institutional point of view, the Seven Fairies are like princesses. A cowherd boy stole the princess's jade shuttle. When the princess went to ask for it, she was moved by the cowherd boy. In the extreme filial piety, two people secretly became husband and wife. According to the "Song Xingtong", how should we be sentenced?"

Zhang Dun got it straight: "The Qing Niu instigated sexual immorality and invaded the Tian family. The consequences were serious and he was executed. The Cowherd abducted the Seven Fairies, which was a great rebellion and he was executed. The Seven Fairies were careless and wore a white silk ribbon and promised to commit suicide."

Su You looked at him like a monster.

Zhang Dun misunderstood Su You's gaze: "Well, there may be a decree for amnesty, right? Then he must be sent to the Yaohua Palace as a nun, so as to save enough face for the Tian family."

Su You asked again: "What should I do with the child?"

Zhang Dun said: "What child?"

Su You said: "The child of the Cowherd and the Seven Fairies."

Zhang Dun asked back: "Why do we have children? Those children should never have been born in this world."

"But they are already here?"

"Then send them back."

Damn it! Su You was startled: "Zi Hou, you want to kill someone again!"

Zhang Dun threw a grape into his mouth, ate it, spit out the grape seeds, and rolled his eyes at Su You: "You're talking about a playbook! Don't frame me!"

After speaking, he looked at Su You: "Situ returned to the capital and had no business to socialize. Even Sima Junshi and Uncle Lu Jie only talked in the capital hall. How can you invite Lao Zhang to the theater today? Are you going to be a lobbyist? "

"What guest are you talking about?" Su You was very fond of Zhang Dun's political sensitivity: "When I was eating and drinking with Da Su at Yiqiumen, I never saw you being so wary of me."

Zhang Dun laughed loudly: "To be honest, what I was thinking at the time was... Mingrun, this little brother, is good! When Lao Zhang becomes prime minister in the future, he will definitely promote him well. He should be given a high-ranking magistrate to reward these people well." Twice-cooked pork!”

Su You couldn't help but smile: "To be honest, what I was thinking at the time was that Brother Zhang is a talented person in the world of Jingwei. He really needs to be well received and fawned over. From now on, no matter how big or small, there will always be some benefits..."

"Hahahaha..." Zhang Dun burst out laughing, but in the end it turned into melancholy. He picked up the wine and stared at it: "Ah... Those days when I was hanging out with Zizhan in Fengxiang Mansion were the real pleasures..."

Su You also picked up his glass: "Brother Zhang just said that I want to be a lobbyist. Do you think I am that kind of person?"

Zhang Dun said: "It depends on who wants you to come, Sima Junshi, Uncle Lu Hui... Hey, they don't know how! If the Empress Dowager asks, I'm afraid even Mingrun will have to comply."

Queen Mother, please?! You may be thinking too much!

Su You met him: "What does Brother Zihou think of the current situation in the court?"

Zhang Dun snorted: "Sima Junshi opened his mouth to speak out. Thousands of people came forward to say that the new law is inconvenient. They are coming with force. They want to kill me."

"But what did he do? In two months, he collected thousands of real seals, refunded the fines of more than ten farmers in Chuqiu County for failing to plant mulberry trees, and the partial occupation of more than ten farmers in Xingping County as livestock

The cultivated land of the land.”

"In total, we solved less than 500 guan of problems, but gained a reputation of 5 million guan, chasing the Jun family's flat pot!"

"Haha, gentleman, this is amazing! But these are the things that a prime minister should do? How dare you report them!"

Su You said: "So you are going to counterattack by saying that a filial son has not changed his ways as a king and father for three years? Uncle Cai Chizheng, Xinghe and others are confused, why are you confused too, Brother Zihou?"

Zhang Dun said: "Isn't it true? Before the emperor sealed the mausoleum, he began to abolish the new law. Now we are protecting the horses and changing the market. The next step is to protect the young crops and exempt them from service? The next step is to eliminate all the people and the law. This

Aren’t you going to change your father’s ways?”

Su You smiled: "Brother Zihou, this is a theater, can you please keep your voice down?"

Zhang Dun was even more angry: "Then you still let me come here?!"

Su You still smiled playfully: "Music can relax people. In such an atmosphere, we can discuss it easily."

Zhang Dun snorted and stopped talking.

Su You then said: "Your counterattack path is simply wrong. Will it be useful to suppress the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty by using the way of a father who has not changed for three years?"

"The Empress Dowager is coming to court. She is the biological mother of the late emperor. How can you use your son to suppress your biological mother? Your Majesty has just taken over the government and is still young. How dare you secretly accuse him of being unfilial?"

"If you argue with Bachelor Junshi, Uncle Lu Jie, or even me, it doesn't matter even if you gnash your teeth and curse."

"But if you target the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty, you are looking for the wrong target. I am afraid that in the future you will be demoted to Haiyu and die in the wilderness. That is all too easy!"

Zhang Dun looked at the stage, his chest heaving and his eyes flickering, but he did not refute.

Seeing that Zhang Dun had finally listened, Su You slowly said, "Come to think of it, does Brother Zihou not know the effect of the new method?"

“Back then, I wrote a letter and made it clear that using the method of young crops to achieve the goal of ensuring that the people are not taxed and the country is fully utilized is simply a matter of seeking fish from the trees.”

"In Shaanxi, on the grounds that wars were frequent and it was not appropriate to move lightly, I implemented the improved Green Seedling Law and borrowed 600,000 yuan from the late emperor to free 600,000 people from the three groups below the fifth class and become tax-paying civilians. I also gave 600,000 more

The principal plus interest was returned to the late emperor."

"And the late emperor gave Mr. Anshi 26 million yuan. I would like to ask, after ten years of implementation, how many people in the Song Dynasty have lightened their burdens and escaped from the sea of ​​misery? How many households have been transformed from tenants to government tenants?

, the fifth-class household has become a third-class household, or even a fourth-class household?"

"Don't talk about Sichuan and Zhejiang and the South China Sea. Brother Zihou also knows what's going on. If there is no immigration policy, I would like to ask Brother Zihou, the west of Beijing, Dongdong, Jiangnan, Huainan, and Guangnan, Fujian.

Are the number of places that faithfully implement Xianggong's Young Crops Law increasing or decreasing among fifth-class households and below?"

"According to my ratio in Shaanxi, if 26 million people played for ten years, all the fifth-class households in the Song Dynasty should have disappeared, right? What's the result?"

"If you don't do this well, you can't blame others for talking about it."

Zhang Dun's face changed color: "Mingrun, when you were in Zhejiang and Shaanxi, did you really think we were fools when you violated Prime Minister Jiefu in both positive and negative ways? It wasn't that Mr. Wang tolerated you at that time, and it wasn't that I tried to cover up for you from my colleagues, you could have achieved what you have today.

?”

Su You spread his hands: "Trying to cover it up? Then may I ask what I did wrong? I need Brother Zihou to be considerate for me?"

"You!" Zhang Dun suddenly became speechless again.

You can't argue with this. You said you did the right thing for this kid. Then why did you cover him up? Did you admit that there was something wrong with your group?

You said that this kid did something wrong. Not only did his grades not allow it, why did you have to cover it up for him? Because you are a villain who covers up his mistakes?

I’m so angry! The Su family! Zongheng’s family education! Mr. Jiefu was right in his assessment!

Su You smiled and patted Zhang Dun's arm: "Of course I need Brother Zihou to cover things up for me, so that Su You can show his talents in Zhejiang and Shaanxi. I really want to thank Brother Zihou for his words at that time."

"But Su You had already realized that joining the court as an official was exactly what brother Zihou said to the late emperor back then. He would never be happy for a moment."

"Since we do not share the same position as Mr. Wang Xianggong Lu Jifu, we must have the consciousness of being outsmarted by others and being put in the shoes of Xianggong Anshi."

"Many people think I am wronged, but actually I don't feel it at all, because the basic foundations of Bianjing, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hebei, and the Song Dynasty have been preserved in the end."

"Back then, when I was discussing the "Green Miao Law", it was the elder brother Zihou who presented it to Anshi. Let's be fair. Now, let's look at it. Which one is right and which one is wrong?"

"Let's talk about horse protection. How many good horses were there in the Song Dynasty? Were they obtained from private horse owners? Can they be equipped with cavalry? Can they fight? The Royal Post Office bought this big order this time. Did it make a profit or not?

loss?"

"Let's talk about the market. In addition to the adjustment function of the market in Beijing, how much of the remaining ones were pulled out from the soup bottles and vegetable baskets of ordinary people in Shengdou and from the ferries at the pier? How much stigma did the late emperor bear for this? Folks

How much of a hit has business been? Is it worth it?”

"Wu Juhou's Jingdong Iron Money Law, Wang Zijing's Fujian Tea Law, Jian Zhoufu's Jiangxi Salt Law, these market variations, how much harm have they caused?"

"Li Ji, Lu Shimin went to the tea market to sell goods to Xichuan, which almost ruined the overall situation of Wang Zichun's Qing Tang Dynasty, causing the eldest prince Mu Zheng to rebel. Brother Hou is not unaware of this matter."

"Xueshi Wang raised his commanders and light troops, went deep into the barren area, and made two desperate detours to save the situation. Even so, in that battle, the Song Dynasty lost more than ten envoys, including Jing Sili and others, and thousands of elite troops.

Account, can it be settled?"

"If Scholar Wang hadn't used his troops like a god, who would have been able to withstand them this time? How much more would the Song Dynasty have lost?"

"Shouldn't these laws be changed?"

After talking about it one by one, Zhang Dun finally lost his temper. In fact, he himself thought many things were unreasonable, but in a moment of excitement, he went to the head.

This is the standard of being held back and forced to retreat. If I don’t like you, I will twist it!

But Su You dragged him to the theater to chat, and he actually listened.

Especially the military crisis caused by the abuse of evil laws deeply touched him, who has always been a hawk.
