Chapter 453 Consensus
Zhang Dun's eyes were deep and he looked at Su Shi quietly.
This former old friend is really getting farther and farther away, and he doesn't say anything more than a single sentence.
Zhang Dun looked outside, and it seemed that Zhang Feng's figure flashed by. He picked up the teacup and just took off the lid and said, "It's different. Don't rush to make a conclusion. There is more than a month before the Chinese New Year, and we will be very busy. You must be familiar with government affairs as soon as possible. You can collect your leisure and enjoy less fun, and do more things. Also, you just need to build a dike in West Lake and sing loudly. Once you enter the court, you will focus more on government affairs."
Su Shi's expression became more and more serious.
This is his best friend in his youth. He once traveled and studied together and was considered half a brother. Now, those who were once valued by Ouyang Xiu and others and believed that his talent was as good as his, have gradually sunk into the officialdom and no longer had the glory he once had.
Su Shi felt a lot of emotion, and finally sighed and said, "The last question is, why is it me?"
Zhang Dun then took a sip of tea and said, "The person who asked you to come is a master. You can see it very clearly, so don't ask me. I, Zhang Dun, are not tolerant, let alone you people who can't do anything. You are, and so are Wang Cun. I will drive you away in the future, and there will be enough reasons. Even if the people in the world don't like it, they can't blame me for anything."
Su Shi's face was unnatural, and he immediately said with a deep look: "You just look down on us so much?"
Zhang Dun put down his teacup and said, "Chop land and treason, disloyal to the emperor, frame court officials, eliminate dissidents, form cliques for personal gain, appoint people to be nepotism, cultivate personal gain, and murder loyal and kindness... Which of you hasn't done these things, and which one hasn't done them openly, is it natural?"
Su Shi's face was straight and he said, "This man has passed away, why should the grand uncle bring up the old accounts? The grand uncle still didn't answer me, why was it me?"
Zhang Dun glanced at Zhang Feng's clothes outside the door again and said, "Because there is no more suitable person than you. The 'New Method' is not my own business. I have to use all the strength I can use. You guys can help me a lot. I know you will also help you, and it is also a busy person."
Su Shi had long seen the sinisterness of the intrigue of the court. When he was in Shenzong, he almost died in the Censorate because of several poems. However, he did not expect that Zhang Dun had no conspiracy and directly made a conspiracy, and was sure that they would make mistakes!
It's really not a speculative sentence.
Su Shi felt uncomfortable, and sighed secretly, stood up, raised his hand and said, "Thank you, my grandpa, for telling you bluntly, and the official will leave."
Zhang Dun looked at Su Shi's expression and picked up the teacup to drink tea.
Su Shi's worship really drew a clear line. The two of them belonged to each other and had a private relationship.
Su Shi looked lost, and his heart was empty and depressed.
Zhang Feng then stepped in, sat on Su Shi's stool, and said, "What did you say to the official?"
Zhang Dun packed up the two official documents on the table and said, "The official family found you last night, I understand."
Zhang Shi looked pondering, Zhang Dun's meaning was very clear. Since the official had found him, he would definitely not be able to continue to object. The official has the ability to convince him.
After a while, Zhang Feng said: "The Ministry of War belongs to the Political Affairs Hall, and you will not lose control. I am worried about the various marching strategies and the candidates for the general manager."
Zhang Dun's face became a little serious, his eyes were a little cold, and he said, "I know all this in my mind. The government must be more concerned about it. You don't have to worry too much. Instead, I'm a little worried about Xia Liao, and they may not be able to bear it."
Zhang Feng looked relaxed and said, "Although I won this battle a bit lucky, it also shows that I can fight the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty is in chaos. If I really want to fight a national war, I may not lose."
Zhang Dun shook his head and said, "First south and then north, this is the general strategy set by the government and us. The Liao Kingdom needs to be comforted. In this way, first be courtesy and then army. Next year, you will conduct a drill on Liaodong Road. In addition, Li Xia will put pressure on Li Ganshun to make a clear statement and which side to stand on!"
Zhang Qi said: "I don't care about these things. The north is temporarily set to be a three-way marching force. Guo Cheng and Zhe Keshi, and Zhong Jianzhong is divided into the general marching commander. The official revealed to me that it will not be assigned any strategy during the war."
Zhang Dun looked thoughtful and said, "Okay, let's talk about it later."
Seeing that Zhang Dun had no objection, Zhang Feng changed the subject and said, "Su Shi is not suitable for being an official, wouldn't it be better to let him travel on West Lake?"
Zhang Dun was a rare silence.
As Zhang Dun's cousin, Zhang Dun, has been growing up since childhood, especially in his career for many years. He knows that Zhang Dun's serious appearance is a person who values affection and righteousness. Su Shi is afraid that Zhang Dun will feel a little uncomfortable.
At this time, in a corridor outside the Political Affairs Hall, Cai Bian and Chen Xian, the Minister of Works, were taking a 'stroll'.
Seeing that Chen Jun had no expression on his face, Cai Bian couldn't hide his disappointment and anger expression. He suddenly smiled and said, "What's wrong, don't give up?"
Chen Xian was brave and fearless in Shangjing, Liao Kingdom, and did not fall into the majesty of the Song Dynasty at all. It was really surprising and surprising. The court, the country, including Zhao Xu, praised it very much.

Such a glory is logically enough to send him to the throne of Minister of Works.
But Zhang Dun decided to Su Shi without hesitation.
Chen Xian did not hide anything, raised his hand and said, "The lower official was a little dissatisfied. Su Dongpo said it was a little noble and arrogant, and outstanding. To be honest, he was not a common person and had been mediocre for half his life. How could he ask Xianggong Cai, Su Dongpo, he has made any achievements?"
Cai Bian thought about it carefully and seemed that he could not remember Su Shi's achievements. He couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, saying, "You don't have to be upset. Although Su Dongpo was inserted horizontally, I still admire you very much. There are only three people in the Political Affairs Hall, and there are still six vacancies. Su Dongpo may not be able to enter, but you can definitely."
Chen Xian looked slightly shocked and couldn't help but stop.
Cai Bian turned around, still smiling, and said, "No need to be surprised. My grandfather and I are not for people who disregard national affairs, but we can see the things about Wang Xianggong. You are a capable person. The Ministry of Works will upgrade the project next year. The Political Affairs Hall will spend a lot of effort to do it. The Prime Minister's World Project. The Political Affairs Hall has a temporary command office, which will be carried out by me, the Prime Minister, and you will implement it."
Chen Zhen was really shocked. As Cai Bian said, the real power was much greater than that of the Minister of Works!
Cai Bian ignored Chen Xian's surprise and continued to move forward, saying: "The court is cutting down the army and reducing redundant officials, which can save a lot of money and food, but the consequences are also serious. You also know that the memorials of impeachment of my grandfather and I will almost fill the side rooms of the Chuigong Hall..."
Chen Zhen looked solemn and stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "My husband, some people are just borers, they cannot understand the court, and they wantonly slander the court officials, and their subordinates have always opposed it, and firmly support the court in reducing redundant officials and soldiers!"
Cai Bian smiled more and he walked slowly.
Chen Xian was in agitation and followed Cai Bian and said, "Some people in the court want to make a fuss because of their salary. They have nothing to do all day long, slandering the government affairs and spreading rumors. It is very hateful. The subordinates ask the court to seriously purify it."
"Oh, who do you think is more suitable for this matter?" Cai Bian looked back at him with some surprise.
Chen Xian said without hesitation: "The officials thought that Su Shangshu is the most suitable."
Cai Bian's expression remained motionless and slowly turned his head.
Sure enough, there is no fuel-efficient lamp.
At this moment, Wang Cun came to Su Shi.
The two stood in a pavilion. Wang Cun looked at Su Shi and greeted warmly, "Zizhan, we haven't seen each other for some years, right?"
Zizhan, Su Shi's name is the name, and Dongpo is the nickname.
Su Shi looked at the old Minister of Works and said bluntly: "Grandpa Wang, the official wants to ask, there are really so many money and grains that the Ministry of Works has handed over. It has been sown in full and has been put into practice?"
Wang Cun was stunned. He wanted to win over his relationship. He thought about the affairs of the Ministry of Works, his eyes were a little alert, and he said with some intent: "Zi Zhan, the bureau is complicated and unpredictable. You should know this. The Ministry of Works, it is not my final decision. There are so many things, not many people are interfering with me. Even if I want to manage it, I may not be able to manage it."
Su Shi did not doubt it. Thinking that the "New Party" occupied the court, Wang Cun could not support himself. He was afraid that he would be excluded and suppressed. With so much money and food, and so many things, Wang Cun might not be able to really make the decision.
Su Shi really wanted to do something in his heart, so he said, "My husband thinks, where should the subordinates start?"
Seeing that Su Shi seemed to be completely unscheming, Wang Cun pretended to think about it and said, "The Yellow River is a big problem for our dynasty. It broke the dike several times and changed the route three times, but it was completely useless. If you want to make some achievements, you can start from this aspect."
Su Shi naturally knew about the flooding of the Yellow River and looked thoughtful.
Wang Cun looked obscure and took a step further, whispering: "The affairs of the Ministry of Works are a bit complicated. After you go, don't be sensible. Take your time. Some things should be discussed with Chen Zhen. The Ministry of Works must work together. There is enough sand inside. If we are all squeezed into the air, we will be really rootless duckweed."
Su Shi was calm and silent.
He felt more and more that the court was a mixed society, and there were abyss everywhere.
