Take the system back to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 187 Li Jianyou's thoughts

Gumbling--

The water boiled on the small stove as the steam began to rise.

Zhang Ji, who was lost in thought, came back to his senses, put a handkerchief on his hands, and picked up a small teapot to make tea.

This morning made Zhang Ji think a lot, and she herself never realized that only when she really cared about a person, would she pay so much attention to everything he did.

I don't know if he only brought a team of thirty or so people out this time, is it bad luck or good luck?
About his appearance is confidential, no one knows what he is going to do.But now that Wang Fu, Zhu Xiao and others are creating momentum, public opinion tends to turn towards Zhao Cheng's apostasy and escape.

Public opinion is not very important.In fact, Zhang Ji has nothing else, but as for the right to speak in public opinion, he, Wang Fu and Zhu Xiao, multiplied by ten, will not be seen by Shi Zhang Ji at all. Zhang Ji only needs to write an article to reverse all public opinion. .

But that's beside the point and doesn't help.The most important thing is to look at the results of Zhao Cheng's trip, he will not betray him.But if he loses and something happens, then winner and loser, basically all the blame will be thrown on him by those opponents who survived.

This is where the limitations of the article lie. Of course, Zhang Ji can and is not stingy to build momentum for him, but as the saying goes, you need to be hardworking yourself. If he fails to make achievements, then even the best Jingxiu article will become fake and empty, which is tantamount to farting.

As for whether he will really encounter war?No one knows about this, but Zhang Ji knows that he has always been magical. Since it is his judgment, the probability of it appearing is very high.

"Ah, Mr. Ji, water is overflowing from the teacup!"

A few old masters in the academy found out and rushed over to take the teapot from her hand, Khan, I don't know why this beauty is so preoccupied recently.

Due to his relatively thin skin, Zhang Ji is too embarrassed to mention that he is thinking about Zhao Cheng, so he falters and confuses the past...

"Sir, have you heard that the Qin Mingxiang army that bit Zhao Cheng away was completely wiped out!"

At about the same time, Li Jianyou hurried in.

clang-

Zhang Ji was so frightened that his tea bowl fell to the ground, because now there are rumors everywhere that Qin Mingbu and He Zhi went after Zhao Cheng's team.

"What's wrong with him... Zhao Cheng and the others?" Zhang Ji's face turned pale.

This made Li Jianyou extremely embarrassed, and he cared too much about him. If that kid really became a martyr for the country, he should be cared and loved, otherwise there is no need to be so nasty.

After the YY was over, Li Jianyou said: "Master Zhao won a great victory in Lingyang Mountain. He successfully repelled the Manichaean who killed the Xiang army, and rescued Cai Wenji and He Zhi. Now he has returned to the city."

Zhang Ji got up and said, "Since he has returned from victory, why didn't you come and report earlier so that Jiaoji can meet him."

Li Jianyou spread his hands and said, "I don't know. He didn't publicize it at all. After returning to the city in a low-key manner, he didn't know what to do. The news is now that the state government confirmed Mr. Zhao's return and the results of the battle. It was only announced to the public. After this exciting announcement was posted, the common people watched it, but they didn’t know what to say. The students were still standing next to the announcement at the South Gate just now, volunteering to help explain the announcement to the people. It’s very tiring. .”

Zhang Ji thought for a moment with a strange look on his face and said, "Now, do you know what's so good about his Xiaobai articles? Do you know why his Happy Three Kingdoms has three thousand times more readers than you?"

Li Jianyou had black lines on his face, thinking that the kid couldn't write well, and he couldn't do without Xiaobai.

However, recently, Li Jianyou claimed to be with him, and he felt that he had more face. In addition, he was embarrassed to say that he was uneducated in front of Zhang Ji.In fact, Xiao Zhao was born as a mason, and his writing style is rough, but the writing in the storybook is really beautiful.In addition, although Zhang Ji's evaluation of him has personal emotions, there is some reason.

Li Jianyou also liked him, "First of all, Brother Zhao is a buddy. His contribution to Chizhou is not fake, and must be recognized and publicized. Secondly, although Mr. Zhao's evaluation of his level can be regarded as objective, but the students It's just that I can't accept his little white writing, it's not because of jealousy but because of my personality, and I can't change it."

Zhang Jibai glanced at him, "You're talking the wrong way. On the contrary, you like his Xiaobai story. Don't think that my teacher doesn't know it. On the contrary, you are envious of him, right?"

Li Jianyou was a little embarrassed, but fortunately he slapped himself on the head wittily and said, "Mr. actually saw through it. Sure enough, Mr. who knows me."

Zhang Ji was very helpless, shook his head and smiled, anyway, he is in a good mood now, and this guy has always had this kind of virtue, compared to him, he is much better than those people like Wang Fusu Zaifang.

Seeing that Li Jianyou was still standing still, Zhang Ji said, "Jianyou won't just report news, tell me, what exactly do you want to say?"

Li Jianyou said hesitantly, "Jenke... Regarding the number of places recommended by the academy, who is the master going to give it to?"

Zhang Jidao: "I hate people asking or even intervening in these matters. But okay, I am really worried about this issue now. If you want to ask it yourself, not your father, then I can talk to you, anyway. It’s definitely not you, and you don’t need to.”

"Do you want to give it to Zhao Cheng?"

Li Jianyou said, "I finally understand, that guy can't afford to take the exam. This is not demeaning. Smart people also need to cater to today's literary trends. It depends on who the examiner is. Even if my father is not the examiner, If it was really Su Zaifang and his grandfather who was inspecting Jiangdong Road, then Zhao Cheng would definitely not be able to pass the exam. In addition, even if we don’t talk about these influences, no matter how smart he is, he still needs enough time to study, but he is always fighting outside, isn’t he?”

Zhang Ji also felt that what he said sounded good, so he nodded slightly, "It makes sense, so you can continue."

"As you can see, there are too many dudes in the capital..."

Li Jianyou became embarrassed again, "I'm afraid no one will give students face in the capital and it will be difficult to mix. If there is a guy like Zhao Cheng as a classmate and best friend, he seems to be a person who is not very good at losing, and it will be much easier to mix."

"Get out of here, this is not a reason, it's child's play."

Zhang Ji immediately changed his face and drove him away.

In fact, this is not because Zhang Ji really thinks that Li Jianyou's statement is a stronghold, but... since the "cultist rebellion" that Zhao Cheng predicted really happened, a political storm across the road will come soon.

This is no small matter.

Because there is enough official history, unofficial history and crooked history, etc., most people in this era don't know what Manichaeism is, or pretend to be confused.But Zhang Ji really had some hearsay understanding of their history and teachings.

Zhang Ji's understanding of Manichaeism coincides with his father Zhang Shuye's characterization of them.

His father, Zhang Shuye, was a man similar to Zhao Cheng. He had less literary accumulation, but he was very practical and capable. Therefore, although he did not have an in-depth understanding of Manichaeism from literature, he had learned from him since he became the household minister. Keen to find money, and monitored the abnormalities in the entry and exit of some official banks from the southeast.

It is the official bank, but it is abnormal.

The so-called anomaly refers to the part of the southeast region that flows into the household department as official silver, and according to the number of silver mines controlled by the imperial court in the southeast region, it is more than imagined.

So only Zhang Ji knew that Zhang Shuye had confidant spies monitoring this matter in the southeast region, and finally relied on clues to deduce that it might have something to do with Manichaeism and the Bureau of Payroll.

But only these speculations.

Due to the involvement of Manichaeism, during this period their organization was streamlined and their personnel were not complicated. They had a strict structure and canon rules, making it difficult for outsiders to infiltrate.

As for the Bureau of Remuneration, in addition to being the banner of the royal department, it is also a member of Cai Jing, the prime minister of the dynasty, that is an official.Given the political situation in the Song Dynasty, there was no soil for lurking around them to find out.Emperor Renzong, who was once regarded as very prestigious, asked the Huangcheng Division to do similar things. The end result was that he was forced out of power by all the literati, and the Huangcheng Division was almost disbanded.
