This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 193
"Your hearts are dark."

As soon as these words came out, the entire east hall fell silent again.

On the contrary, Taishi Pang and Di Qing had half-smiles on their faces, and they seemed to be watching the show.

Mo Shaocong first looked back at the people around him. Seeing that all of them looked serious, he turned his head and said to Lu Sen: "Really Lu thinks everyone is drunk and I am sober? Is this too arrogant?"

Are you arrogant?
Maybe some, but Lu Sen was really disappointed in these people once again.

It is normal for a group of people to think about eating the fairy fruit produced in their own homes, and about health and longevity. From another perspective, if he is an ordinary person, he would also think about it.

There's no shame in that.

But such a group of people, hiding behind, actually pushed a young man to lead the charge.

Anyway, if things don't work out, it's just that Mo Shaocong will be hated by Lu Sen. If it works... then they will benefit greatly.

You can live the healthy, pain-free life of three years ago again.

However, Lu Sen was not stupid, he could tell at a glance that Mo Shaocong was a fool who was being used as a gunman and was still happy.

It is useless to scold such a fool, it is useful to directly scold the people behind him.

"So what if I'm proud or not?" Lu Sen's eyes fell on Mo Shaocong, and he scanned the surrounding dignitaries. There were many very familiar faces, most of them were court officials: "Beat Xixia, you hide!" Forget it in the back, and then entrap the soldiers, fearing that the warriors will make meritorious deeds, and suppress the meritorious ministers, all of them are eloquent. I see that you have been unhappy for a long time, so you don’t want to be officials in the same court with you. I thought Two years have passed, and you should have improved a bit, but the result is worse now than before. No matter what I say, I know you, but you don’t dare to come up to me to ask me if you want some fruit, and trick a young man to come up to try , One is more capable than the other. This kind of appearance without any responsibility, not to mention the Xixia and Khitan people, even me, a late student, looks down on you."

Every word of Lu Sen's words was like a sharp sword, piercing into the hearts of these dignitaries in the East Hall.

Of course, there are a few dead pigs who are not afraid of boiling water, and they don't care what Lu Sen says.

For a moment, most of the people turned their heads, their expressions were very unhappy, but there was nothing they could do.

Mo Shaocong was about to continue talking, but Lu Sen took a step forward and said: "Mo Siyan, as a speech officer, your duty is to persuade the officials, and you came here to persuade me, a folk... Did you make a mistake? Or Say, do you think I have the capital of an emperor?"

Speech in the Song Dynasty was relatively free. Talking like Lu Sen was not a serious crime, at most it was a bit out of date.

And his rhetorical question was very poignant.

Mo Shaocong's face turned red like a monkey, he cupped his hands lightly, and retreated in embarrassment.

Lu Sen was quite right, Mo Siyan's duty was to 'spray' the officials, and Lu Sen, the former Tianzhangge direct bachelor who had resigned himself, would not be persuaded by him.

Even Mo Siyan's behavior felt like treating Lu Sen like an official.

Seeing Mo Shaocong's defeat, everyone in the east hall bowed their heads and dared not speak. Lu Sen sneered in his heart, then turned his head to look at the 'big shots' at his table, and finally his eyes fell on Han Qi, and asked with a smile: "Han Xiang, do you think what I just said is reasonable or not?"

It's been half a year since Han Qi returned to the capital from the local area, and he had actually heard about Lu Sen all along.

What supernatural powers, arrogance and the like.

But that was just heard, but now I really saw Lu Sen's unruliness, what he said just now, the whole court was sprayed, but no one dared to refute, this thing is outrageous .

But now, Lu Sen actually brought the topic to himself.

Everyone's eyes also moved over.

Han Qi now has a feeling that there are thousands of ants crawling on his body, and he feels uncomfortable all over.

What made him even more unhappy and puzzled was that what Lu Sen asked him just now had a provocative meaning, and half of it was yin and yang.

He suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and asked with a smile, "Is Master Lu prejudiced against me?"

"Yes." Lu Sen nodded without hesitation: "Han Prime Minister is a good leader who casually harmed the lives of his own soldiers and was defeated like a mountain. Then Wang Jiefu followed suit. He admires you very much."

Han Qi frowned.

Lu Sen continued: "Wang Jiefu has gone to Qiongzhou now, but Han Xiang... just let him go. I really don't think Wang Jiefu is worth it. Why does he have to go to a poor place and escape from death? But he can be at ease in a prosperous place! What do you think, Bachelor Bao?"

Han Qi's blood rushed straight to his forehead, and he almost burst into tears.

Back then, he dared to point at Di Qing's face and yelled furiously. All passers-by in Donghua Gate could hear him, which was enough to prove that he was a man of "blood". However, Lu Sen was obviously handsome, but With an arrogant face, for some reason, his blood quickly cooled down.

He pretended to be slightly displeased and said, "Really Lu is acting as a substitute? Although you are a direct bachelor of Tianzhang Pavilion, you are not an official of the Ministry of Punishment or Zhongshu, right?"

"That's why I'm asking Bachelor Bao." Lu Sen said with a smile, "Mr. Han heard that I convicted you?"

This... is a tricky question.

Han Qi suddenly felt that he had encountered an evil star.

The other party is a practitioner, and he is free to do things in the first place, and he still has real skills, so he doesn't dare to force it, and dare not go back.

If you offend the other party and get sucked out of luck, that would be bad.

Now Daoist Lu is just cursing and swearing at people, but he has never seen anyone harmed by him, so it doesn't count as genuine anger.

Although Han Qi dared to scold Di Qing, he did not dare to scold Lu Sen.

Because many times, others think you are a jerk, have the ability to fight back, and have the ability to harm others, so you better have some skills!

Otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Di Qing lowered his head slightly, and didn't say anything, as if he didn't hear anything, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised were enough to prove his current mood.

In contrast, Bao Zheng's expression was very flat.

Seeing that Han Qi's face was ugly and he didn't know how to answer, he offered to help him, saying, "Realist Lu, today is the big day for Zhan Butou. As his best friend, you should at least take care of everything you do and say."

Lu Sen raised his eyebrows, looked at Bao Zheng silently for a while, and finally said with some disappointment: "Since it is rare for Bao Xueshi to talk like this, then the boy will obey the order."

Bao Zheng was taking care of the overall situation. He felt that getting Wang Anshi away would have little impact on the court.

But if Han Qi was sent to Qiongzhou, the court would not dare to say that it would be a mess, but at least it would become fierce.

After all, Han Qi is also a person who has been called a prime minister, and his personal connections in the court are also complicated.

Lu Sen could understand Bao Zheng's thoughts, but he was still disappointed.

Because the situation in the Northern Song Dynasty looks good now, it seems that the fire is cooking oil, and the flowers are blooming, but it is all an illusion.

Land annexation has become more and more serious, and the combat effectiveness of the army is getting lower and lower under the suppression of civilian officials.

If you change from now on, it can actually be redeemed.

And Bao Zheng should have seen this too, but he still pursued the word 'stable', and didn't think of enduring the temporary pain to cut off the abscess of the lesion.

So although Lu Sen had done a lot before, the inertia of history still pushed the Northern Song Dynasty on the established track.

It seems that the stimulation I gave is not enough.

Lu Sen sighed slightly in his heart, then restrained his expression, and stopped talking casually.

After eating the first water table, Lu Sen took Yang Jinhua and left.

His status is too high now, it is not suitable for him to stay with a group of people in Zhan Zhao's bridal chamber.

Other guests can't let go.

Bao Zheng chased up from behind, followed by Di Qing, Grand Master Pang and others.

"Really Lu, let's talk about the Xianjia rice seeds."

Lu Sen looked back at Bao Zheng and asked, "How do you say that?"

"Since ancient times, food has been a top priority." Bao Zheng said as he walked, "The warehouse is actually the world's order. Although Lu Zhenren distributed enough seeds in Hangzhou, it is still difficult to benefit most of the people. So it’s better to send some to the household department and let them distribute according to the household registration of farmers, which is more accurate.”

The Household Department was originally in charge of money and food, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, most of the responsibilities of money and grain were given to the third division envoy, so the Household Department in the Northern Song Dynasty became an empty department without any real power.

But if the giant rice seeds were given to the Ministry of Finance, at least the Ministry of Finance would have some power.

Lu Sen walked in the direction of the Yang Mansion, and said with a smile: "At present, the land is either under the management of officials, or the local big landlords occupy most of it. If they can get rice seeds, it means that most of the farmers can get it. Rice seed, what's the difference?"

Lu Sen was satirizing the serious annexation of local farmland, but Zhao Song did not prohibit this at this time, so Bao Zheng had no choice but to pretend that he didn't hear it: "But it is more expensive to hand it over to the farmers. It’s better to hand it directly to the big family.”

"So, what benefits can I get?" Lu Sen turned his head and asked with a smile.

"To share the worries of the people of the world, why involve too many interests?" Bao Zheng thought for a while, and said, "Really Lu needs precious medicinal materials for his cultivation, why don't I ask the officials to open the treasure house in the palace, and let Master Lu go in every year to choose something out ?”

After all, it is the palace, so there must be some wonderful herbs.

Then Lu Sen shook his head and said: "There may not be the medicinal materials I want in the palace, but I have an idea."

"Please say."

"As long as Bachelor Bao can agree to my request, I will no longer distribute all the rice seeds in Hangzhou in the future. I will send them all to the capital and hand them over to the imperial court. How about that?"

"What conditions?" Bao Zheng knew that Lu Sen's conditions might be very harsh, but when he thought that rice seeds could benefit the people, he couldn't help asking.

"Send Prime Minister Han to Qiongzhou!"

Bao Zheng stopped, with a frightened expression on his white face.

He was not afraid of Lu Sen, but himself, because he was really moved.

And Taishi Pang and others who followed behind were even more surprised, but felt that it should be so.

As expected of a practitioner, how dare I say it.

Di Qing's face even turned red with excitement.

After a while, Bao Zheng said: "Han Xiang is the pillar of the court, without him, the court would be in chaos."

"I don't think so. It's been three years since he handed out the place, and I haven't seen any chaos in the court."

"Realist Lu, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open." Bao Zheng sighed helplessly: "Some people are not in the court, but they are similar to being in the court. You should understand what I mean."

Han Qi has a lot of contacts and confidantes.

Although he is not in the court, many things cannot avoid him, and his opinions can always enter the court.

Lu Sen smiled and said: "I understand, Prime Minister Han is living in a foreign county, and he cares about the court. He is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. For the sake of the world, for the people of Liming, and for the overall situation, he will definitely write a letter to himself." Chen Cuanyao is willing to take a trip to Qiongzhou."

Ken was weird.

Bao Zheng and the few ministers behind shook their heads in unison.

But they also understood that Lu Sen was mocking Han Qi. After all, when Han Qi was defeated and defended himself, he used the central argument of 'focusing on the overall situation'.

Anyway, it is to say that the defeat of the army is a roundabout strategy.

No one in the imperial court knew that this was a lie, but no one seriously pursued him, they just let him go, and he was easily transferred.

I have punished myself three cups, no matter how big the mistake is, I have to get over it.

That's probably what it means.

Bao Zheng followed Lu Sen for a short distance, finally shook his head with a sigh, and left first.

Afterwards Grand Master Pang came up and said: "Sometimes I bring Mei'er back more often, do you understand?"

Lu Sen nodded.

Then Grand Master Pang also left. Before leaving, he said with a smile: "Having been hiding outside for almost three years, my temper has increased, not bad. Just now at the banquet, you scolded bluntly and beautifully. I like you very much, old man."

Then Grand Master Pang also left cheerfully.

Finally, Di Qing came up, thanked him quietly, and left.

After walking for a while, Lu Sen returned to Tianbo Yang's Mansion. Mu Guiying was pinching walnuts in the inner hall. No matter how hard she tried, the shells of the walnuts shattered.

Lu Sen took Yang Jinhua and was about to rest when he suddenly heard the gatekeeper Lao Qi rushing in. After a hurried salute, he gasped and said, "My lord, the King of Runan County wants to see you outside, saying it's a matter of urgency."

Ok?
Lu Sen was a little strange, but he went out anyway.

Just after Yemen, the Runan County King rushed over, pulled him and ran towards the palace, and said at the same time: "Something happened, the official family suddenly fell to the ground an hour ago, and then several imperial doctors joined forces to rescue them, there is nothing you can do." , the queen heard that you are in the capital, and has sent someone to my house, telling me to come and find you quickly."

Lu Sen was a little strange: "As far as I know, the fruit and honey that Bilian brought back, you will give to the palace in private, right? The official's health should be fine, why all of a sudden."

"Oh, don't mention it. The official is benevolent. He doesn't eat most of the fruits and honey. They are either given to the prince, or given to the queen and concubines."

This...is a bit of a responsibility.

Originally, he didn't care much about this matter, Zhao frame's life or death is his fate, and it has nothing to do with him.But after hearing such words, I can't help admiring Zhao frame, and then thinking that Zhao frame was the only qualified emperor in the Northern Song Dynasty except Song Taizu, so he took out honey from the system backpack and handed it to the king of Runan County, saying: "You Take this thing in and give it to him, there should be no problem."

"I also sent half a bottle of honey into the palace before." Junan County King said anxiously: "But I still have to take you in, it's safer."

Well, after thinking about it, Lu Sen followed the Runan County King to the palace.

At the palace gate, they also met Bao Zheng, Pang Taishi and others who hurried over.

They also got the message.

As soon as the few people entered the palace, they didn't walk very far when they suddenly heard an earth-shattering wail coming from the front.

No way!
