A powerful minister of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 102 The Evil Ones Complain First (Part )
Wang Xiuyong's words shocked everyone.

"Liu Sanbian is here to join in the fun too?"

Song Xuan naturally knew who Liu Sanbian was.

He hasn't changed his name to Liu Yong yet.

A while ago, Song Xuan saw the news about Yu Linling written by him and that insect girl holding hands and looking at each other with tears in her eyes in the tabloid. He never thought that it would take so long for him to arrive in Yingtian Prefecture.

The old failed student was born.

It seems that he still can't bear to leave life in Tokyo.

"Yes, it was Liu Sanbian who came in person."

Wang Xiuyong explained that there was a curious person who wanted Liu Sanbian to comment on Song Xuan's poems.

As a result, after reading it, Liu Sanbian praised it highly, shed many tears with empathy, and said that no one in the world could write poems more relevant than Song Xuan.

At first, Wang Xiuyong thought that Liu Sanbian was also sent by Dou Chou to deliberately cause trouble.

Because he saw the man named Han Zhixuan standing with a man in fancy clothes, and there was a foul smell all around him.

Wang Xiuyong guessed that the middle-aged scholar was Dou Chou.

He really wanted to come to the academy to put pressure on us.

Song Xuan nodded.

Is this what Mr. Yan deliberately did to let Liu San transform, as a means to make me famous?

Otherwise it would be too much of a coincidence.

Dou Chou's appearance in the academy meant that he had already fought with Yan Shu.

And things didn't develop as he expected, so he couldn't rest now.

When the sun sets, the heat still hasn't dissipated.

But most of the students who were looking at the list had dispersed, and many of them were preparing to go out for a drink.

Whether you pass the exam or not, you need to vent your emotions.

Song Xuan had sat for a long time, so he went straight to the academy to find Yan Shu to ask him something.

He can also control the subsequent operations on Dou Chou.

Yan Shu woke up at this time and was listening to the people below talking about Liu Sanbian's words.

He laughed heartily, ever since Song Xuan blurted out the next sentence that he had thought of for several days.

Yan Shu felt that Song Xuan was talented and it was only a matter of time before he became famous.

Now that Liu Sanbian has agreed, there is no need to say more.

Yan Shu would naturally protect such a good seed for studying, and guide Song Xuan onto the right path.

Because Yan Shu felt that if people like Song Xuan could not be used by the court, they would inevitably bring great losses to the court in the future.

It seemed that the court appointed him and gave him an opportunity, but in fact it was just a means to restrain him from causing trouble.

After all, this is how Emperor Taizu of Song controlled his subjects.

For the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, there was no loss, but rather the stability of his rule was ensured.

"Did Dou Chou leave?"

"Prefect Yan." Zhang Kang held his fat belly.

"Someone saw him talking to the students in the academy for a long time, and I'm afraid there's another conspiracy."

"It's nothing more than framing Xiwen for leaking the exam questions or cheating. He can't think of anything new. He'll just wait until the students are bewitched and stir up trouble, and then have the censors in the court impeach me."

Yan Shu had already figured out the operation.

"Mr. Yan."

Song Xuan stood outside the door and called out, "Are you awake?"

"come in."

Yan Shu knew who was coming without even raising his eyelids.

So when Song Xuan entered the house, he saw Zhang Kang there and bowed to him again.

"You've caused quite a stir."

Faced with Yan Shu's hint, Song Xuan naturally could not admit that he was the one who broke Dou Han's leg.

There's no point talking about anything without evidence.

Song Xuan sat aside and spread his hands and said:

"Mr. Yan, you know that this is a disaster that I didn't expect."

"I came to take the exam honestly, but the son of a powerful person bullied me, the son of a commoner, for no reason. But I still have some pride in me, and I didn't want to bow my head and wait for death, so I fought back."

Song Xuan's words once again brought Yan Shu, Zhang Kang and himself closer together.

We are all on the same path, and we have all relied on ourselves to get to where we are today.

It's hard to help out at home, unlike Dou Chou.

Although he is disliked by everyone, he is indeed from a famous family.

I look down on you guys from the bottom of my heart.

Yan Shu finally understood why Song Xuan could make friends with everyone:

"Okay, we're not blaming you. What do you want from me?"

Song Xuan then told Yan Shu about his guess.

He is not good at political struggles, and hopes that Mr. Yan can make preparations early.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Song Xuan finished speaking, Yan Shu pointed at Song Xuan and said to Zhang Kang:
"Listen, is this guy someone who can afford to suffer a loss?"

Zhang Kang was shocked.

Just now, Mr. Yan finished talking to me, and then Song Xuan came and said the same thing.

These child prodigies are really amazing!
Thinking long-term.

Without even waiting for the opponent to make a move, he could see through their upcoming moves.

How is this played?
Zhang Kang suddenly understood why Emperor Zhenzong liked Yan Shu so much. Dealing with smart people means less worry. They can also guess the emperor's thoughts and help him do things, and the key is that they keep their mouths shut.

Which emperor would not favor such a talent?
"You really don't know what to do?"

Yan Shu drank a sip of tea, rinsed his mouth, and spit it out. He had known for a long time that Song Xuan had a way.

Just pretending here.

Yan Shu had long since gotten over this mentality.

How could I not understand your attitude?
Song Xuan chuckled:
"Mr. Yan, I actually have an immature idea in my mind, but I don't know if it's appropriate. I hope Mr. Yan can give me some advice."

Yan Shu glanced at Song Xuan and knew that you kid has an idea.

Zhang Kang had almost no experience in political struggles because he had few opportunities to stay in the core of the court.

So I pricked up my ears at this time.

"According to my opinion, it should be Minister Yan who should write the impeachment memorial first. It would be inappropriate for Master Fan to write a memorial now that he is in mourning."

"There's no need to exaggerate. Just write down the facts. For example, Dou Chou's son was parading around the city, bullying people, and his property was robbed by robbers. His father, Dou Yuanbin, couldn't find the murderer, so he put the blame on me because I had a conflict with his son."

"He vainly attempts to use his power to oppress others and destroys the ideals of an ordinary scholar who studies to serve his country. This is destroying the foundation of the Song Dynasty's rule. The Queen Mother must be vigilant."

Yan Shu nodded slightly. It was probably what he thought. Besides, there was no need to exaggerate such things.

"That's it?"

"Of course not." Song Xuan pondered for a while before speaking:
"This is just the beginning. Later, Prefect Yan will have to ask Minister Fan, Zhang Tuiguan and others to write a report. Dou Yuanbin asked them to target a little student like me."

"Whether it's true or not, according to convention, he can no longer serve as a Hanlin scholar and will have to be sent away.

The Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty.

Generally speaking, if someone is impeached, in order to avoid risks, he will ask to be sent away no matter what.

You, a Hanlin scholar, always say that your position is higher than that of a prime minister, and that is no exception.

Moreover, there is no position in the Song Dynasty more important than the prime minister."

Yan Shu narrowed his eyes, looked at Song Xuan and said:
"Twelve Lang, for his own sake, is he going to drag them all into this mess?"

"We've been involved for a long time, so there's no need to deceive ourselves and think that the enemy will be merciful. That would only harm ourselves and others."

Song Xuan spread his hands and snorted:
"That Dou Chou isn't a generous person. When Prime Minister Fan and the others rejected his request, could Dou Chou really still show off his magnanimity?"

"I advise Lord Yan to give up his fantasy as soon as possible and prepare for a fight. He has been planning to do something bad and ruin Lord Yan's plans." Yan Shu wanted to leave the center and had his own deliberate thoughts.

Now that the Queen Mother is in power, many flatterers have gathered around her.

It would take a long time for the new emperor to rule the country, perhaps until Empress Dowager Liu died.

During this period of time, Yan Shu can afford to wait.

Now, after hearing Song Xuan's straightforward words, Yan Shu lost all desire to hide his thoughts.

something.

If you don't want to hide, it won't find you.

"Stir it, stir it."

Yan Shu pointed at Song Xuan and said:
"You know how unpredictable things can be. If you strike later, you'll dominate, but if you strike first, you'll likely be dominated!"

"You haven't even passed the imperial examination yet, and you're already stirring up trouble in the court. You're quite capable."

"Mr. Yan is now the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, and we are all students of the Yingtian Prefecture Academy. Even if we enter the court in the future, we will be branded with Mr. Yan's mark. There is no escape. It is better to face it early and gain some experience."

Song Xuan smiled and said, "Besides, turning around and running away is definitely not my style."

"Humph."

Yan Shu shook his sleeves.

Before he could say anything else, he saw Song Xuan turn around and leave without even waiting for Yan Shu's answer.

Zhang Kang looked at Song Xuan's style of doing things.

There are question marks all over my forehead.

What on earth does this kid mean?
"Hahaha."

Seeing Song Xuan acting like this, Yan Shu pointed his finger and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zhang Kang didn't understand why Song Xuan contradicted himself.

Yan Shu looked at Zhang Kang's fat face full of confusion, and in a good mood:

"You don't understand?"

"Replying to the prefect, I really don't understand what Song Twelve meant by doing this."

"This guy just made a suggestion. The final decision is mine, and he won't force me to make it."

Yan Shu stood up and strolled two steps:
"Because the person who came up with the idea doesn't take any responsibility, only the person who ultimately makes the decision takes responsibility."

The implicit meaning of Yan Shu's words was that Song Xuan had a very good sense of measure.

Zhang Kang suddenly understood, and was even more convinced that Mr. Yan had the ability to judge people.

Otherwise, he would not have given the jade pendant that he had worn for more than ten years to Song Twelve.

"Thank you, Prefect Yan, for your guidance." Zhang Kang hastily thanked him. Opportunities like this don't come around often. "Shi Er Lang isn't one to listen to advice."

"how?"

Seeing Yan Shu asking, Zhang Kang explained that he had advised Song Xuan not to reason easily and to choose to stab others as much as possible, which could also reduce the trouble caused by speaking.

Yan Shu glanced at Zhang Kang and asked, "Who told you that he didn't listen to your advice?"

Previously, Yan Shu thought that Dou Chou had wronged Song Xuan, but the suspicion on Song Xuan was cleared too clearly.

In all likelihood, it was someone he sent to do it.

Dou Chou, this is an accidental blessing!
"Forget it, you go and rest too. I still need to think about it."

Zhang Kang bowed and left so as not to disturb him from making a decision.

Yan Shu stood up and walked around for a while, then sat down again.

There is no way to avoid it, there is really no way to avoid it.

"Master Fan."

Song Xuan peeked in at the door again and saw Fan Zhongyan writing something.

He put down his pen and ink:
"It turns out that Twelve is here."

Song Xuan walked in with a smile and glanced at the letter whose handwriting was still wet.

"Does Sect Leader Fan intend to write a memorial impeaching Dou Chou?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Fan Zhongyan naturally didn't want Song Xuan to get involved, as he just wanted to take charge of everything.

"I just talked to Mr. Yan."

Song Xuan's words made Fan Zhongyan stunned:
"Why, he told you everything?"

"Master Fan, you underestimate me. I'm a child prodigy!"

Song Xuan sat across from him with a thick face: "I can guess such a small thing with just a guess."

Fan Zhongyan valued Song Xuan very much and was willing to take care of him.

After all, they all had the same background, and it seemed that he was much better than Song Xuan.

His adoptive father was also nice to him back then.

It was just that he couldn't accept this result at the moment, so he studied hard in the winter by eating porridge.

"Regret it?"

"Not really." Song Xuan continued to smile:

"Actually, I was afraid of causing trouble for Master Fan. According to our rural ways, this matter would have been resolved long ago, and there would be no need to report it to the authorities."

"Put away your rascally temper."

Fan Zhongyan certainly made careful inquiries about the reputation of Jishiyu, one of the three evils in Lema Town.

This guy has a good reputation among his neighbors.

As for staying away from that street, opinions vary.

Song Xuan then told him about his own method. What's more, this was under the rule of Prime Minister Yan, so it was appropriate for him to submit the letter. If you interfere, you will easily give others an opportunity to use it against you.

Fan Zhongyan originally thought that he didn't need Song Xuan to teach him how to do things.

But when he thought about how Mr. Yan had promoted him to teach students in the academy, he had to inform him. He waved his hand and let Song Xuan go out, indicating that he understood.

"fart."

There was a commotion in the academy courtyard.

Su Xun glared at him:

"Why do you say that Twelve Brother only got third place by cheating?"

"Anyway, I just heard someone say that."

"Someone said it was."

"it is good."

Su Xun saw that quite a few people had gathered. He suppressed his anger and said:

"May I ask your name?"

"My name is Du Chen."

"Du Chen, did you fail to get into the academy?"

"I got in, but I want to speak up for my classmates who didn't get in."

"So many people left their hometowns to take the college entrance exam, and then some people got in by cheating, squeezing out those who could have entered the college. Who can accept this?"

Du Chen looked at the growing number of people:

"As far as I know, the new Master Fan and Song Xuan are from the same hometown and have known each other for a long time. Song Xuan usually dabbles in fishing and doesn't study hard at all. How could he have achieved such a high ranking all of a sudden?"

"Then there is only one truth: he peeked at the questions that Sect Leader Fan had already set, and had already prepared a response."

Bao Zheng stopped Su Xun who was about to show his fist and said calmly, "Do you have any evidence?"

When asked about evidence, Du Chen snorted and laughed: "What would I say if I had evidence?"

"Does Song Xuan dare to admit it?"

Bao Zheng's face was dark, and he couldn't tell if he was happy or angry. He just said calmly:
"My dear classmate, as far as I know, there is a crime of false accusation in the Song Dynasty. If your evidence cannot prove that Song Xuan entered the academy by cheating on the exam, you are finished."
