Song Beiyun

Zhao Xing couldn't stay for a long time because he was going to court, so he asked Song Gou to take care of Zhao Xiang for him and hurried to work.Naturally, Yan Shu couldn't leave. Zhao Xiang didn't have a son, so Yan Shu, as his son-in-law, must stay here at this time.

On the contrary, it was Song Gou who was the most wronged. It was neither relative nor cause, and the stroke had nothing to do with him.But instead, he serves here like a filial son and grandson.

He still has a lot to do!He also wants to force against the Chai family, to infiltrate the Kingdom of Jin, to spy on the Kingdom of Liao, to stew elbows to milk Jinling'er, and to write picture books for children to learn how to read and write. There are so many things to do!

But think about it, let's stay here for a while, after all, Zhao Xiang is usually good to him, whether he can survive is a matter, if he really can't survive, the court doesn't know what will happen.

But after thinking about it, even if Zhao Xiang can survive...he will not be able to work for at least three years, who will take the position of Xiangguo?old man?Lao Ding obviously can't do it. This position requires not only ability but also qualifications.Lao Ding's qualifications are a little less senior. He has already taken a job and a temple, and if he is asked to lead the chancellor, the people in Zhao Xiang's department are probably going to be blown up.

After thinking about this, Song Beiyun suddenly realized a problem... If Zhao Xiang really can't recover in a short time, then this aspect is a hot potato, and anyone who holds it will have a headache.

unless……

Yan Shu broke the rules and promoted a wave to become acting prime minister. One is that he and Zhao Xiang are close father-son relationship, and the other is that his ability is obvious to all.He is far from qualified as a prime minister, but there is no problem as a acting prime minister, and no matter which line of the dynasty is in the middle, it will not prevent him from becoming this acting prime minister.

It's miserable to say, Da Song is still short of people...

If it came true, Yan Shu would become prime minister earlier than the original trajectory, and if he could secure this position, Xiao Song would actually be very happy.

Although there is nothing wrong with Zhao Xiang, after all, Zhao Xiang is an outsider, at least for Xiao Song.

Of course, Xiao Song doesn't expect Zhao Xiang to leave the world, but after all, it takes a few years to recover from a stroke. It's good to go back to feed your grandchildren and take care of your life.

Don't work hard.

And just as Xiao Song was pondering, the door suddenly opened, the old servant came out, bowed and said: "Master Song, Master invites you in."

"coming."

Xiao Song jumped up from the ground and came to the room.At this moment, Zhao Xiang has awakened, but he is obviously paralyzed...

He also started to speak fluently, but it could be seen that his consciousness was still clear. When he saw Song Beiyun coming in, he raised his only moving hand with difficulty and waved at him.

Xiao Song leaned over and squatted in front of the window: "Mr. Zhao, are you better?"

Just ask this kind of nonsense, it's a fart if it's like this... So Zhao Xiang ignored him, just raised his finger and pointed at the table.

Xiao Song walked quickly to the table, patted the thing in front of him: "This?"

Zhao Xiang waved his hand.Xiao Song changed the stack: "This one?"

Zhao Xiang waved his hand again, and after doing this several times, finally when Xiao Song's hand was pressed on a set of old manuscripts, Zhao Xiang didn't wave his hand again.

Xiao Song moved the stack of manuscripts to Zhao Xiang's side, lowered his body and asked, "Are you going to give this to me?"

Zhao Xiang clicked on his face, which was affirmative.

Xiao Song nodded again and again: "I understand, I will sort it out, and I will show it to you when the time comes."

Zhao Xiang let out a long breath after hearing this, and forced a smile from the corner of his mouth, then closed his eyes, and dropped his hands heavily on the bed.

"Master Zhao!"

Xiao Song exclaimed, and Yan Shu at the door rushed in immediately. After he came in, he knelt on the ground and began to shake Zhao Xianglai: "Master Yue Zhang! Don't die!"

After shaking for a long time, Zhao Xiang opened his eyes again, and actually gave Yan Shu a supercilious look...

Well, the old man can still roll his eyes, so it doesn't seem to be a big problem.Xiao Song also breathed a sigh of relief, and simply sat on the floor beside the bed: "You rest first, and my senior brother and I will find a way for you to talk in a few days. As for the hands and feet, it may take two or three years to recover, don't worry. .”

Zhao Xiang nodded slowly, then waved his hand vigorously a few times, signaling for the two of them to get out...

After walking out, Xiao Song hugged the pile of manuscripts and looked at the sky: "Get ready."

"What to prepare?"

"Be the prime minister."

Yan Shu thought Song Beiyun was joking, so he didn't pay much attention.But at this time, the court hall was full of chills, and the news of Zhao Xiang's stroke had already spread to the court hall, but according to Zhao Xiang's statement, it was not because of Zhao Xingqi, but because he was accidentally thrown at night.

The current situation is acceptable, but it is no longer possible to perform the duties of prime minister.

This matter was so difficult that even Lao Ding didn't dare to think that the position of prime minister would fall on him, because at this time, this position was definitely harmful rather than promotion.

So the people in the room discussed and discussed, but the discussion resulted in a bad move, that is, Yan Shu, the son-in-law of Prime Minister Zhao, will act as the acting prime minister. more suitable than him.

And Zhao Xing was secretly happy, but he couldn't agree right away, he had to pretend for a while before he reluctantly said, "My loves, let's wait for a few more days to see if Zhao Xiang can turn the crisis into safety."

But since it's a stroke, Zhao Xing is not so ignorant of common sense. This kind of disease will not be cured in a short time. It is estimated that Yan Shu, the acting prime minister, will definitely be appointed.

He went to visit Zhao Xiang as a monarch immediately after he came down from court. Song Beiyun, who was informed by Xiaoyu in advance, ran back home early, and now he is holding the pile of manuscripts and carefully reading them.

He saw half of it, and it can be described as a treasure.Because in addition to those folk customs and monsters, there are also a lot of research on celestial bodies and climate, and it is almost straightforward to bring up the heliocentric theory.

There are also sayings that the earth is round, the sun is round, and everything in the starry sky is round.

Of course, the most valuable thing is to use more than 20 years of observations and calculate the time with precise angles to set the time of the two poles as the winter solstice and summer solstice, and then calculate the extremely accurate 365 days and 366 days in leap years, and even calculate one The year is divided into twelve standard months, that is, the exact month that does not follow the lunar calendar and has no leap month.

This is simply a fairy note!Of course there are inaccuracies in it, but as a modern person, Song Beiyun can completely complete it based on his theoretical knowledge!

The ancients were awesome after all. Perhaps later generations did not realize how awesome they were because of the limitations of the times. Their research results have not been recorded and paid attention to.

In addition to the calendar calculation method, these notes also draw a variety of clouds, from the highest cirrus clouds to cirrus clouds, cirrus clouds and then to the lower stratus clouds and rain stratus clouds. The clouds have made a classification, although the names are different from the ones behind, but they are almost the same, and can be used directly.

There are even answers to some so-called folk superstitions and legends. For example, the most famous Tiangou eclipse the moon. It is recorded in the manuscript that the reason why the moon is bright is because the sun shines. To cover the sun for the moon, because the sun is permanent, the earth and the moon are both moving, and when they move in a line, they look like dog food.

Seeing this sentence, Xiao Song was almost excited and thought he was a colleague... But according to the follow-up records, it shouldn't be, it's just that he spent his whole life observing, drawing and thinking...

Almighty!Xiao Song took a deep breath, but Zhao Xiang couldn't speak now, so when he got better, Xiao Song must visit this natural science master through Zhao Xiang!

"So you mean that Prime Minister Zhao was made mad by the three of you?" Jin Ling'er helped Song Beiyun sort the manuscripts and said, "You guys are good enough, what cultivation level is Prime Minister Zhao? I'm sick."

"I really don't remember... Probably Yan Shu said something outrageous."

Chapter 489: Three Years on February 2th

"A person like me, in the pre-Qin period, would be pulled out of the city gate to show the public."

Xiao Song stood on the city wall, looking at the funeral procession just now, and the person in the coffin was none other than Mrs. Pang, who single-handedly brought Xiao Song down. The old man's condition took a turn for the worse three days ago, and then today Died in the early morning.

For this reason, Zhao Xing also specially set up a mausoleum for this respected old grand master, in recognition of this old man who was loyal to the Song Dynasty and the Tian family from the beginning to the end. The king of Kangping County, bestowed the posthumous title of Zhongyong, and received the side of the imperial mausoleum of Zijin Mountain from Xiangling.

Don't look at it as just a side difference, the significance of this is extraordinary, that is to say, the old grand master will also eat incense when the emperors of all dynasties worship their ancestors in the future. The emperor's grace is so great that people can't imagine it.

But even so, when a person dies, he is also dead, and when a person dies, it is like a lamp going out, and everything will rest with eyes closed.The old grand master who was able to bring the coffin to court has been written into the history of the Song Dynasty from today, and it is impossible to appear again.

Looking at the continuous funeral procession, Xiao Song couldn't help sighing in his heart. He actually didn't resent the old man, let alone retaliate. After all, was the old man wrong?Of course there is nothing wrong with that. Do you still expect an old man who has studied Confucianism to try to accept new concepts and new things from 1000 years later?

Besides, in one dynasty, whether it is pedantic or stubborn, there are one or two people who dare to kill the Cambodian king with their lives, which is worthy of awe.Let him Song Beiyun go, would he dare?How dare he.Since he didn't dare, he didn't have the right to tease those who dared, otherwise he would be a fly on the warrior's corpse, making himself look less decent.

Besides, under the frenzy of money worship and consumerism he brought to the entire Song Dynasty, it will become more and more difficult to come up with such a warrior in the future.

But what else can I do, a copper plate has two sides, everything in the world has two sides, it is meaningless to simply comment on good or bad, we can only choose the one with the greatest benefit under constant trade-offs and exploration options.

In the world of adults, there is no saying that everything is needed. Only children are qualified to shout that everything is mine.

So when the warrior left the world today, Xiao Song sent him a far away as an outsider, and took this as the watershed between the new world and the old pattern. From now on, the Great Song will never If there is no such person anymore, it should be a kind of commemoration.

"Mr. Song is serious. Since Mr. Song implemented the new system, the atmosphere of the Song Dynasty has been completely new. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the officials are self-restraining. Under this bright and bright world, it is full of vitality."

The name of the person next to him is Shen Cong, who is only one letter away from the literary master Shen Congwen that Xiao Song knew. This person is the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and he can be regarded as an imperial literati. Very often, I just licked it up without making a fuss.

Just like the sentence just now, I didn't say anything about my lord's opinion, but my lord's wisdom was licked deep into my bone marrow.

Xiao Song didn't answer, he just leaned his hands on the city wall and looked at the funeral procession, it was quiet from a distance, there was no howling or beating of gongs and drums, it was just so calm and calm.

"Go, write a eulogy." Xiao Song laughed: "Send the last sincere blessing to the true warrior."

"The villain understands that Mr. Song still has a broad mind after all."

Xiao Song smiled, turned and left and went down the city, without looking back again.

The atmosphere in the court hall was not very good today. Zhao Xing announced that the court would be suspended for three days. It was not only a deep mourning for the death of the grand master, but also a way for the officials to sort out the work in the hands of Prime Minister Zhao to facilitate the handover.

And these three days he was not idle, but planned to go to the ancestral temple to fast and take a bath. The reason is actually very simple, that is, there may be something wrong with the feng shui in the court these days, and two important ministers have problems one after another. to blame.

Perhaps just as Xiao Song predicted, the new era may come abruptly at a certain point, and this is the case for those who have broken through the past. Now the leaders of the conservative faction are gone, and the leaders of the radical faction are suffering from illness.Only a group of centrists who were neither conservative nor radical remained in the court.

Normally, partisan struggles would heat up and force the emperor to take sides.But now Zhao Xing uses his cleverness to break through his strength, and he hides directly. Without the emperor, the struggle is actually boring. In addition, the Imperial City Secretary is watching from behind, and the originally cruel political struggle is actually mild to the naked eye. down.

In fact, before Xiao Song came to this era, he always heard about the so-called court struggle, and read many novels and TV series, but he still couldn't understand it.But when he came here, after passing through and seeing it, he finally understood what the so-called political struggle was.

First of all, struggle requires an enemy, and political struggle is also a struggle between people, that is, two people with different ideas or more people regard each other as enemies, so the capital of political struggle is still people. Personnel is political.

On the basis of people, the most common method of political struggle is actually political strikes, followed by attacks on each other's weaknesses, protests, arguments, etc., but in this imperial society, the vast majority of political struggles I spend all my time seeking a "lord" who wants to be my master. Who is this master?Nature is the emperor.

Therefore, most of the struggles in this era are digging holes for each other in the form of negativity, negligence, and decoupling. Compared with the political struggles after the capitalist revolution, they are much naive, because armed struggles are not allowed. To put it bluntly, ideological struggles are just a matter of the emperor's words.

This is why since ancient times, emperor studies have worked very hard to divide the court into two factions or even multiple factions, because only after balancing each other, the emperor can become the "lord" who you want to call the shots for me.

And when the people under him really become a whole, the unification of opinions will naturally no longer require the emperor to arbitrate. At this time, the imperial power will be weakened at an epic level, and finally there will even be a power revolution.

This is the reason why reforms have rarely been successful in the past, because reforms... first of all, they were ordered by the emperor. Force to one place.

Then what would the emperor do at this time?

So in a real sense, the greatest resistance to restricting social change is the concept of the supremacy of imperial power.

Of course, this is Xiao Song's point of view. He does not accept refutation because there is no one in this era who can come and refute him, right or wrong, he just thinks so.

Now Zhao Xing may also understand this truth, so he is still very tolerant to the factions under the court and let them fight.

But at this time... the leaders of both factions have gone, Lao Ding is a scholar, and he doesn't really participate in political struggles.So what is most needed in court now?

It is the enemy, the enemy shared by everyone, the treacherous minister, the courtier, the side of the Qing emperor who is to be purged.

Xiao Song doesn't want to be this person, so is there a suitable person?

Of course there is, the son is a good choice, his reputation is enough, the eldest son of the old grand master.Ability is not bad, flexible mind and rich experience will come.This person came forward to reintegrate the cronies of the old grand master, delegate power to him, and let him act as the enemy.

Pang Ji was a person who refused to suffer. If he was run over by Yan Shu's gang in the court, he would definitely find a way to go back, and the flames of war between the two sides would be rekindled soon.

Perhaps in just a few months, the head-cutting incident will subside, a new faction will be established, and under the judgment of the "lord", the court will enter a stable stage again.

As for whether there will be a few more powerful officials, Xiao Song doesn't care, he is aloof.As long as the emperor has no problems with his thoughts, he is absolutely safe. If the emperor has any problems with his thoughts, he will take his family and go to the Liao Kingdom to join Anu. Be better, no matter how busy you are, give her some small gifts to coax her, set off fireworks every now and then, there is no room for maneuver.Girls, as long as you smooth your hair, there is nothing wrong with it.

Will the negative work slowdown affect Xiao Song's future layout?

The answer is no. The Imperial City Division will be dismantled and reorganized in April this year, becoming the third law enforcement agency independent of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. After the power reorganization, the Imperial City Division will be divided into three parts, one of which is Officials are specially assessed. If the year-end score is higher than [-], you can continue to be an official.If the year-end score is lower than [-], enter Dali Temple.If the year-end score is higher than [-] and maintains for three years, it will be promoted directly, but if it is higher than [-] and lower than [-] for three consecutive years, it will be directly dismissed and returned home to farm.

Of course, KPI has to be assessed. Under this system, who cares about partisanship? The parties can override the imperial power, so why can’t the imperial power override the parties?Moreover, this rule is reasonable and in line with righteousness, and no one can challenge it.

Of course, is there anyone overseeing the Imperial City Division?Of course there are, first of all, the Secretary of Command will secretly assess the Secretary of the Imperial City, and if he finds favoritism and fraud, he will be killed on the spot.Then Yushitai will conduct an assessment on the Imperial City Division in the open. If the judgment is found to be unfair, you can go to the Yushitai for a review.

This set of systems is linked together, and even Lao Ding thinks it's wonderful after reading it...

Although Xiao Song smashed Yushitai, he never denied the importance of Yushitai.Anyway, he just remembered one sentence, power is a tiger, and when it is released, it will eat people, so the tiger must be kept in a cage.

And what he has to do is to start from the big tiger of imperial power, and go all the way down, putting them all in a cage.As for himself, he doesn't have any power at all, he is just the one who pulls the tiger's skin and pulls the banner, everything is nothing but vain.

Chapter 490: Three Years on February 2

Xiao Song has nothing to do these days. He really feels that those who are too busy all day are actually incompetent, because as long as they don't take care of everything, there is no such thing as being too busy, so he went to Yan Shu's Floating around like ghosts outside the window.

"You're so annoying, I don't go out to play." Yan Shu opened the window and shouted angrily, "I already have a mountain of piles on hand!"

"waste."

Xiao Song cursed, and left with his fan on his back. When he came outside, he told Zhao Xing about Yan Shu who was waiting there, and Zhao Xing also spat on the ground: "Trash."

"Fasting and bathing for three days, it feels like your naked eyes are glowing green now."

The two came to a small restaurant that is very famous these days. The small restaurant can only accommodate seven or eight people. The owner is from Haizhou. It is said that he also brought a famous Haizhou dish called Dou Dan Song. Today Xiao Song brought Zhao Xing to taste the bean dan song, which was said to be incomparably delicious.

"Speaking of which, let me see when you get that mortar you mentioned?"

After Zhao Xing sat down, he drank some tea and teased Song Beiyun: "It's so loud, it's a cannon."

"Next time definitely."

The mortar is really a headache for Xiao Song. The craftsmanship is not up to the mark. Who can stand up to the bomb always blowing up? Now it’s almost ready to use with the front-loading gun 2.0. Wait for the technology from the workshop. One more breakthrough should do the trick.

However, the main focus of the workshop at this stage is not the military industry. The current production capacity of that thing is sufficient. After all, there are too many things to be produced. If the industry continues to expand, the basic industrial production capacity will not be able to keep up.

But Zhao Xing didn't care about that much, he just chased after Song Beiyun all day to see the finished product, just like all incompetent leaders, he couldn't see the difficulties in the research and development process at all.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhao did not come up to pay attention to discipline and hygiene, otherwise Xiao Song might be laid off.

"By the way, can you take care of that Jiujiang princess?" When Zhao Xing spoke, it was obviously resentful: "Yesterday she secretly took my little princess out of the palace, saying that she would give her son a favor. Dear, you said..."

"Where did she come from?"

"Your!" Zhao Xing took a deep breath, "Two baby dolls have a blind date, isn't that what she did."

Xiao Song scratched his head: "Actually, it's okay, hahaha... But you can bear this? You have a really good temper."
