Chapter 528: Figure it out(2/3)
"I want to listen to Xun Niang's chanting and take a moment..."
With that said, he sat on the mattress in the study, leaned against the cool back of the chair, and looked at Wen Xunniang.
After Wen Xunniang entered the palace, she grew rapidly.
Especially the height, which is now almost four feet and five inches (close to about 145cm).
Compared with Zhao Xu, who is constantly growing in height, he is also a few centimeters taller.
Considering that girls are not as tall as boys.
In this era, many women may only be 4 feet 7 inches or less than 5 feet tall when they reach adulthood.
Wen Xunniang, who is more than 12 years old but not more than 13 years old, is already very tall at her age.
And her appearance gradually grew.
She has a small face, as beautiful as a peony, with a cute nose and plump lips.
As long as he doesn't become disabled, in three to five years he will be able to confuse all sentient beings.
Zhao Xu leaned on the mattress, and Wen Xunniang bowed to him and began to recite softly.
The voice is gentle and pleasant.
"The sky is high and the sky is high, and the strong wind never stops... You see the geese following the sun, each has his own plan."
Zhao Xu listened and slowly closed his eyes.
"Isn't that what it's like?" He thought in his heart: "Everyone has his or her own agenda..."
"This stall in Da Song... sucks!"
"Even Han Jiang can only barely paste it up and whitewash it..."
There is no way around this.
This is the objective reality.
Although the Song Dynasty was founded just over a hundred years ago, it had a lot of problems at the beginning.
Many of these problems are directly related to chronic diseases that have existed since the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, today's Song Dynasty has actually reached the end of the dynasty.
I want to start from within and work on the existing system.
The result can only be Wang Anshi's old path of reform.
Offend the world, offend the entire ruling group.
But if left unchecked, the aging dynasty will fester and die in the stench of decay.
Under normal circumstances, such a Song Dynasty would be hopeless.
The only thing Zhao Xu could do was to cover his ears, pretend that the world was peaceful, and let the wealthy officials, military ministers, and the common people suffer again.
This may extend the life of the dynasty by several decades.
Fortunately, he studied abroad in modern times.
Therefore, there is a template that you can learn from - the English leader who lacks great virtue.
Thinking about the great lack of virtue in Dai Ying, Zhao Xu came up with the idea of seeing the talented and emulating others.
That is indeed the way to save the Song Dynasty!
It was also the only solution he could think of - just leave the Song Dynasty's problem to others.
Let others take charge of the internal conflicts in the Song Dynasty.
Naturally, the world is at peace and the country is prosperous.
At the same time, there can also be enough benefits to bribe and win over different classes in the country.
It satisfies the scholar-bureaucrats, makes the military officials comfortable, and even allows the common people to get some water.
so……
Before Zhao Xu fell asleep, the last thought in his mind was: "My bosses should all be smart people!"
"They should understand what I mean!"
At the very least, Han Jiang and Lu Gong wrote it, so you should be able to understand it.
…
The capital hall was very leisurely in the afternoon.
Li Chang and An Tao, the two governors of the two governments who took turns today, cooked green plum wine in their respective palaces and tasted it happily.
But soon, they heard the news.
"This morning, Feng Jing, the Marquis of the Emperor's Palace, took people to the Official Reporting Court of the Ministry of Personnel to check some things..."
"Then, the Lord of Ganquan County gathered in the east of Funing Hall and recited Du Gongbu's "Ascend the Ci'en Pagoda with the Dukes" for the officials?"
The two consuls listened to the news in the palace.
All the comfort and happiness disappeared immediately, and there was a cool breeze on the back.
Why?
Because the most famous line in Du Gongbu's poem "Ascend the Ci'en Pagoda with the Lords" is: You see the geese following the sun, everyone has his own plan.
Combined with the fact that people around the official family went to the official court to investigate some things today.
How could the two rulers not know that this is the officials criticizing others!
what to do?
Both An Tao and Li Chang became nervous.
Because everyone knows that today's officials have good memories and like to hold grudges.
None of the civil servants, military officials and nobles who offended him have had a good ending so far.
Many people have even been played by that person to the point of losing their families and their lives - such as Zhang Zhijian and Zhang Ji.
Therefore, during the last Li Yong case, several officials clashed with the two prime ministers in the capital hall.
Although they were acting - this also proved that everyone was really afraid that the person who would make the list in the future would bear grudges on their descendants.
If that's the case, everyone will be counted as one, and they won't even be able to eat incense in a hundred years.
Li Chang and An Tao became restless when they thought of this.
As a result, the two broke the rule that the rulers of the eastern and western palaces in the capital were not allowed to meet privately unless summoned by the prime minister.
They walked out of their respective palaces together and arrived outside the capital hall.
The two of them looked at each other through the wall outside the capital hall, and both could see each other's worries.
"I'm going to see Zuo Kui." An Tao said first.
He was somewhat affectionate in front of Han Jiang.
"I'm going to see Youkui!" Li Chang nodded knowingly.
After they finished speaking, they left the capital hall, mounted their horses, went out from Xuandemen, and went straight to the residences of the two prime ministers.
…
Han Jiang closed her eyes and leaned on the mattress in the study room, listening to An Tao's report.
Then he opened his eyes and looked at An Tao, whose face was full of anxiety.
"Houqing..." Han Jiang said softly: "Don't be anxious, drink tea... drink tea..."
Where can I get tea in An Tao?
The officials in the palace are criticizing Sang and Huai.
If I don't calm down his temper, if he takes this revenge, I will even sharpen my sword secretly in the palace and swear - I am not strong yet, and when I am strong, things will change.
What about the dozens of people in his family?
Looking at An Tao's expression, Han Jiang laughed and said, "Don't worry, Hou Qing."
"The official's temper is not directed at Hou Qing."
"I'm not here to submit a list to the capital today."
If that's the case, judging from Han Jiang's understanding of the young master.
He won't make a sound at all.
Even Feng Jing wouldn't send an official to sue the court - just let Shi De's people from the Detective Department quietly investigate.
Why bother so much?
When the young master engaged Li Ding and killed Zhang Zhijian, did he alert anyone?
No!
