Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Shi Congyun often hears similar news.

I drank with Wang Shenqi again, and got more accurate news. The rectification of the banned army began in October, and the officials planned to determine who would do it in mid-September.

Wang Shenqi also quietly leaned into his ear and revealed a message: "Zhang Yongde, the commander in front of the palace, recommends Zhao Kuangyin. If this matter does not change, it will probably be settled like this."

After he finished speaking, he added: "Zhao Kuangyin is also a good brother. If there is a chance, I will bring you two to know each other."

Shi Congyun nodded, showing no expression, but he was already very nervous.

In history, Zhao Kuangyin seems to have organized the reorganization of the two major banned troops. He also took the opportunity to promote and install many of his own people, so that the resistance to Chen Qiao's mutiny was very small, because almost the entire banned army was his brother.

If his father wasn't Shi Yanchao, he would definitely hug Zhao Kuangyin's thigh madly.

There's nothing wrong with licking a dog, at least it's comfortable, and you can make a lot of money. As for whether you have military power or not, what happens in the future is none of my business!I can live comfortably for a lifetime.

But now it's different. His father is Shi Yanchao. With Shi Yanchao's character, Guo Rong is so kind to him now. I'm afraid that if Lao Zhao adds a yellow robe in the future, he will definitely be the same as Han Tong, even if he has no strength, he will work hard with Zhao Kuangyin. , In the end, he ended up being annihilated by the dead, and he was also finished.

Speaking of Han Tong, Shi Congyun wanted to meet this character very much. After returning to the capital, he asked around and heard that he had left Caozhou and was not in the capital.

In short, Wang Shenqi's words scared Shi Congyun into a cold sweat.

He desperately wants to stop this situation, but with his current status and status, he is completely unable to involve decision-making at this level.

After hurriedly saying goodbye to Wang Shenqi in the restaurant, Shi Congyun paced left and right under the old willow tree in the small courtyard of his home, but couldn't think of anything.

.......

In the evening, Shi Congyun came back and told him to go to the main hall for dinner.

Two days ago, my aunt invited another famous cook from Daliang City.

After all, this is the standard for dignitaries and nobles. In Zhengzhou, Shijia can eat casually, and they don’t care so much about brocade clothes and jade food. But in Bianliang, the atmosphere is different, the situation is different, and many things have to change.

This is the reality. Auntie didn't care much about being a dignitary in her house in Zhengzhou, but it was different when she came to Daliang. She was surrounded by dignitaries, and many ladies would come to visit her. Even if she didn't care, she would start to care more often .

The food on the dining table is also much more delicate, and even the ceramic bowls that used to hold the food have been replaced by exquisite celadon dishes.

Only Shi Yanchao, the aunt, the little girl, the little sister Shi Congmei and him were at the dinner table.

The little sister was very happy to see him, and pestered him to go outside Daliang City to play. The family thought she was a daughter's home and shouldn't have been running around since she was a child, like a wild child. Look, the Shi family is now a powerful family.

But Shi Congyun didn't care, he often put the little girl on the horse's neck, and took her through the market, galloping across Daliang City, and making the little girl dance with joy.

Because of this, the little sister likes to be with him.

But at this time, he didn't want to make trouble with the little sister, so he quickly took a piece of meat and blocked her mouth.

While eating, he thought about how to encourage his father to go to work with Zhao Kuangyin. After all, he thought about it carefully, and now only his father and Zhao Kuangyin can grab this job.

First of all, Guo Rong was the bodyguard who was uneasy about the first emperor, and wanted to support the palace frontier as his confidant. This is the principle of the so-called emperor and courtier, so he would use people from the bodyguard to do this.

Secondly, it is absolutely impossible for Zhang Yongde to handle this matter. Zhang Yongde is very talkative around the official family. I recommend Zhao Kuangyin to be him, and also to kill Fan Aineng and He Hui. The official is also him.

but!

There are two sides to everything. Zhang Yongde can fight, and he is young and has no partisans, so the officials trust him, but he is always a relative of the royal family and has some taboos.

For the rest, only Zhao Kuangyin, who was recommended by Shi Yanchao and Zhang Yongde, was recommended by the deputy commander in front of the palace.

Zhao Kuangyin's position is incomparable to his father's, but behind him is Zhang Yongde.

At this time, the official family withdrew Li Jixun's Du Yuhou in front of the palace, but still did not let Zhao Kuangyin serve as Du Yuhou.

Once he was appointed, it showed that the officials had made up their minds to use Zhao Kuangyin to purge the Imperial Army.

........

"Dad, have you heard that the official family wants to adjust the Imperial Army?" Shi Congyun asked tentatively while cooking.

Shi Yanchao glanced at him, nodded and said, "It's true."

"Father, do you... have any ideas?"

Shi Yanchao gave him a puzzled look: "What do you think?"

"You fight for this."

Shi Yanchao frowned: "Someone knows how to fight on the battlefield and care about that bird."

"This is not a trivial matter." Shi Congyun persevered and persuaded: "Don't you think that the troops in the front of the palace are not as strong as the guards? You can take the opportunity to transfer all the elite soldiers of the guards to the iron cavalry and control cranes of the front of the palace. Army to go."

Shi Yanchao put down the bowl and was not a little unhappy: "That's what the officials think, what are you thinking about! Usually when you have nothing to do, practice your skills more, don't talk nonsense."

After that, ignore him.

Shi Congyun lamented in his heart, and could only keep shoveling rice into his mouth, but this delicate meal was no longer fragrant.

It seems that a series of operations by the government really made my father give up his heart. This road is not working, so we can only find another way...  

Chapter 54, Where is the turning point

In September and autumn, the air is crisp, and the afternoon breeze in Daliangcheng also covered a cool curtain for the noise, making it less hurried and bustling.

Shi Congyun asked Daliangcheng craftsmen to build a wooden viewing platform in the small courtyard. It is higher than the fence. It is based on the thick branches of the old willow tree and the thatch roof. From above, you can see most of the inner city.

Like a big birdhouse.

From the book, the eaves, tiles, pavilions and pavilions of Daliang City are lined up endlessly, and the mist like milky white gauze permeates the autumn morning, looming, if it is not noisy in the world, it will probably be mistaken for Qionglou Yuyu, Immortal Palace Divine Realm , Here is a gathering of humanities, three religions and nine streams, and all heroes and heroes are gathered together.

In the world, it is undoubtedly in the beam at this time.

Sometimes when he looks at this big city from the old willow tree, Shi Congyun's heart will be surging, and his desires will grow uncontrollably, like the underground roots of the old willow tree, but he will soon stop, those things are too far away, too far away. .

Don't say that far away, even Zhao Shijian, who is next to him, can't handle it.

Shi Congyun was the age of a hot-blooded young man, and he wanted Zhao Shijian, who was shuiling, to serve him several times.The little girl did not make a sound, did not struggle to resist, turned her head to the side, and shed tears silently.

This made Shi Congyun suddenly helpless and unable to start, you can call it, or give a reason to use violence under symbolic resistance.

Even a small Zhao Shijian can't handle it, let alone so many powerful people in the world.

He can only listen to the decision-making at the national level in Dazhou, and he has no chance to participate.

If things go on like this, I'm afraid that history will repeat itself again. Zhao Kuangyin was recommended by Zhang Yongde to be the Duke of Yu in front of the palace, and he was responsible for adjusting the forbidden army.

.......

Without a clue, he could only continue to go to the Inner Hall to go straight to the official office every day.

Dad didn't support this kind of thing, and Pan Mei would definitely not dare to ask. Wang Zhong, Shao Ji, and Dong Zunhui were all his confidants, but they certainly didn't understand, and Wang Shenqi couldn't say it either.

Not to mention that Wang Shenqi has always been cautious, and most likely will not participate in this kind of thing, and Zhao Kuangyin is still a friend of Wang Shenqi.

He has a good relationship with Wang Shenqi now, drinking together from time to time, and Wang Shenqi will also come to the Shifu as a guest, but after all, he is a new friend, and in a short period of time, it will definitely be better than his friendship with Zhao Kuangyin.

After thinking about it, I suddenly lost my way, so I could only complain to Xiaoniang Zhao when I went home.

.......

At this time, the situation in the world has become more obvious, especially after the first battle of Gaoping, I am afraid that the Northern Han in Shanxi, the Shu Kingdom in Sichuan, and the Southern Tang Dynasty in the south have all begun to feel uneasy.

Over the past few days, Shi Congyun has led a team to patrol around the imperial city, and he has seen envoys from abroad several times, dressed in bright clothes, bringing a large number of treasures and specialties to Daliang to pay tribute.

He was very curious and asked Pan Mei about some of these countries, but what surprised him most was that a small northern country named Nvzhi also traveled thousands of miles to pay tribute.

He didn't react at first, but then he slowly remembered that this should be the later Jurchen, who established a powerful Jin Kingdom.

However, at this time, it was only a small force. Facing the huge pressure of the Liao Kingdom in the north, it sought to survive in the cracks, and it continued to find ways to seek foreign aid from the south.

Nowadays, it is inconvenient to transmit information all over the world. In many remote areas, the Han and Tang Dynasties still exist. They all think that China, which is in the central and central plains, is still as powerful as it once was.

Therefore, every time the dynasty is changed, no matter who is in charge in the Central Plains, it is customary to send someone to pay tribute.

To the north are some northeastern countries such as Nguyen and Goryeo, and to the south are the countries from the South Sea Islands.

The most envoys came from the Western Regions. It has to be said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened up the Western Regions as a long-term strategic wealth left to future generations.

Shi Congyun really liked this kind of scene. He didn't think much about straight women. After all, he was never an "expert in history", just a teacher who had seen the library.

Some people understand history to show off, or to find a scapegoat with righteous indignation. Today, it's everyone's fault in history, it's all the fault of this and that.

This is a weak and incompetent view of history. It neither dares to face history, nor does it want to change the present, let alone the future.

As early as the Warring States Period, Han Fei, a famous legalist representative, criticized this argument.

At that time, a hundred schools of thought contended, and among the most representative schools, the Confucianists wanted to return to the Zhou Dynasty, the Mohists wanted to return to the era of Yao, Shun, and Yu, and the Taoists wanted to return to the ancient era of small countries and few people.

Han Fei has criticized it, thinking that it is meaningless for them to argue about the past. Times are progressing, and the situation is changing. Always staring at the past, holding on to the past is no way out. Focus on the present, focus on the future.

The chaotic times of the Warring States that finally ended were not the Confucianism and Taoism who embraced the past every day, but the Legalists represented by Han Fei.

It is true to take history as a mirror, but taking history as a mirror is not an excuse to use history as an excuse, and the world is always changing, and the experience of history cannot be copied without screening.

In Shi Congyun, he never thought about it so much. The road is his own. Look at the moment, take one step at a time, and always follow the facts and take steps based on the actual situation.

When the car reaches the front of the mountain, there must be a road, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. The difference is that some people dare to do it, and some people are afraid.

Of course Shi Congyun dared to do it, he even dared Zhao Shijian...

If Shi Congyun's father wasn't Shi Yanchao, the thing he wanted most was to hug Zhao Kuangyin's thigh.

An Yi, even if Lao Zhao wants military power in the future, just give it to him. Lao Tzu has lived a prosperous, rich and comfortable life in this life.

But his father was Shi Yanchao, so he had to change his way.

......

After returning home from the inner hall for dinner in the afternoon, Shi Congyun thought about things in the room until Zhao Shijian brought him water to wash his feet.

Zhao Shijian was even more afraid of him these two days. He was several steps away from him and did not dare to go forward.

"Why are you standing so far away, I won't eat you." Shi Congyun was dissatisfied.

Zhao Shijian ignored him, still very vigilant.

Looking at Shui Lingling's little girl, Shi Congyun swallowed, "Come here and hug."

Zhao Xiaoniang shook her head and took another step back.

Shi Congyun was dissatisfied: "If you continue like this, you will sleep in your house every night, believe it or not, come here quickly." He opened his arms.

Zhao Xiaoniang was frightened, and hesitated and whispered again and again: "Then you have to keep your promise."

"I swear to God! Let me tell you when someone in my history has lied, hurry up and come to my arms."

The little girl came over carefully, and was hesitant, but she was pulled by him and sat on her lap and placed in her arms.

Zhao Xiaoniang is very light, and sitting on her thighs has no weight at all. He wrapped his hands around his slender waist and placed them on his flat abdomen.

The little girl was breathing a little too fast, her whole body was so tense that she didn't dare to move, and she almost forgot to breathe.

Shi Congyun hugged her carelessly, very relaxed. Men, they always like to hold something, how nice it would be to hold a beauty as gentle as jade.

Relaxed, while soaking his feet, he rambled about the troubles of the past few days.

These things can’t be told to Shi Yanchao, Pan Mei and Wang Shenqi, Wang Zhong and Shao Ji don’t understand, and only Zhao Xiaoniang can complain.

After talking, the restless big hand went down to the hem of the clothes, Zhao Xiaoniang's face was flushed, and her strength was not enough, so she couldn't hold his big hand.

At the end, he suddenly said: "It would be great if your grandfather was still the prime minister. I have his granddaughter in my hand, and he will definitely speak for me. If the prime minister speaks up, things will turn around..."

After finishing speaking, even Shi Congyun himself was taken aback for a moment, yes, if there is a husband who speaks for him, things may turn around...

Chapter 55, The Man's True Colors

Speaking of several ministers in the court, Li Gu, Wei Renpu, and Wang Pu immediately come to mind.

But there is only one way.

Wei Renpu had taken care of him, but the two were definitely not friends. Maybe he was just like that. He was more serious and treated others well.

Not to mention Wang Pu, he is the youngest one, and has some friendship with Xiang Xun. Xiang Xun said that he would introduce him, but he has not seen it yet, and has nothing to do with it.

After all, only Li Gu has an intersection in Gaoping, and he also said that he would have a long talk with him.

But when he came back, he was turned away, and no one else was seen at all.

However, Shi Congyun's unique relationship skills are often necessary skills.

He thought about it and thought of a way, that is, taking Zhao Shijian as a stepping stone. At the beginning, Zhao Ying took care of Li Gu, and Zhao Shijian is a descendant of Zhao Ying.

If Li Gu is a person who is grateful, this road might work.

Thinking about it, Shi Congyun changed his face and looked at the little girl in his arms with a flattering smile, "Zhao Shijian, come here, I will help you wash your feet."
