Return to the Song Dynasty

Zhang Dun has been suffering from headaches and worries recently, and no one would believe him when he said it.You are already under one person and above ten thousand people. Being an official for your sake will make others wake up from their dreams.What else is there to worry about, old man?

But Zhang Dun is really annoying.When he was in Ruzhou, Su Shi's letter made him suddenly enlightened, and the little friend who proposed the grassroots investigation woke him up.It was precisely because he wanted to understand the pros and cons of the reform, and also saw how the implementation of the old law and the new law would affect the people, people of all classes and industries, that Zhang Dun hesitated and hesitated.

After analysis, I learned that this new law is indeed progressive and effective in some aspects. In the long run, it can also improve the lives of the people and make the Song Dynasty more prosperous.But it is undeniable that there are also some disadvantages.Even beneficial laws and regulations will always damage the interests of some people and classes, and cannot take into account the interests of everyone.The so-called no one is perfect, no gold is pure, this is what it means.

Zhang Dun was very annoying, but he could only feel depressed and had nothing to say.Who to tell?With the officials?Pull it down, the prime minister doesn't want to do it.With colleagues?Pull it down, maybe someone will be waiting to catch your pigtail.with family?Pull it down, people can't understand it at all.

Alas, everyone is drunk and I am alone.Who do I tell my troubles to, and who can give me an idea?Why?No, someone understands, Zizhan (Su Shi's style name is Zizhan), that little friend who is called "Modest Gentleman" must understand.Zhang Dun slapped his head, stood up abruptly, and strode out of the duty room.

The officials, big and small, who could barely look up from a pile of official documents, only saw the fluttering hem of the prime minister's clothes and his back like the wind.Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, confused, and continue to bury their heads in the ocean of official documents.The prime minister can skip work, but we can't, let's keep working.

Mr. Zhang, with fluttering robes, took three steps and two steps, running and jumping (according to the description of the guard on duty that day) when he arrived, he heard that he was outside the fast.

"Zizhan, come out soon, Zizhan, I have something to ask you." Wen Shizhai's guards were about to step forward to ask, when Master Zhang Dunzhang suddenly burst into a loud cry, which frightened the guards to stagger and almost fell to the ground. Hell, I've never seen these self-proclaimed elegant and coquettish adults yelling at the top of their voices like shrews.

Su Shi in the room was also terrified. He was watching the students reciting their books, and the room was silent. It was quite scary to be suddenly approached by Zhang Dun.The students also stretched their necks to look out. "Who is this?" "I can't see clearly, look at the official robes, the official rank is not low." "What are you shouting for? This loud voice is insulting to gentleness." The students talked a lot.

Su Shi knew it was Zhang Dun as soon as he heard it.But why is this guy still doing such a stupid thing at a very old age? How much trouble would it take for the guards to report him.How embarrassing for a dignified prime minister to stand outside the door and yell.Although he disliked his friend and was ashamed, Su Shi hurriedly got up and went out.

"Zihou, why are you in such a hurry. Look at you, you don't feel ashamed to shout about anything." Facing the surprised gazes of the guards, Master Su quickly stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Dun, and pulled him aside. . (Actually, Master Su wanted to say "I don't know him.")

'Oh, it turns out that Master Su and Prime Minister Zhang are acquainted. ''It's more than acquaintance, I think it's probably a close friend. ''Well, it's no wonder that the senior members of the old party were all relegated from Beijing, but the Su University scholar was not implicated. ''No, it turns out that Master Zhang is protecting you. 'The guards exchanged glances with each other.

Fortunately, Zhang Dun can't read minds, and can't hear the thoughts of the guards.If you don't have to worry about it, you will vomit blood in anger. 'When did I, Zhang Dun, have another charge of using power for personal gain? '

Mr. Zhang can't take care of these little things now, he is busy asking Su Shi to ask him out for a while with the "modesty gentleman" kid. "Hey, Zizhan, Brother Yu has something to ask." Su Shi looked at the Prime Minister with a wretched face in front of him, and couldn't believe that this person was his old friend.

"Let's talk about it first, what's the matter with you?" Seeing Zhang Dun's expression, Master Su instinctively felt that there was nothing good.So he changed from his usual unrestrained style, followed his younger brother Su Zhe, and decided to be more cautious, first ask clearly what Zhang Dun is going to do, and don't lead me into a ditch.

"Yo, Zizhan, this is not your style. My brother asks you to do something, but you still don't agree. Besides, it's not a big deal. It's just asking our little friends out for a get-together, brother. I'm the host, let's eat and chat together."

"Who are you inviting to dinner? Which little friend?" Su Shi felt bad. Didn't Zhang Dun want to have dinner with Zhao Bi?

"Don't pretend to be stupid, who else is there, that's the one you wrote in your letter, that 'gentleman with modesty', a friend who likes you so much, you have to meet him anyway. Why are you still hiding it, lest I steal it from you? Zhang Dun had a teasing look on his face, as if Su Shi was hiding the treasure and would not show it to him.

Alas, I'm really afraid of something.Ever since Zhang Dun came back, Su Shi has been uneasy, regretting that he exposed the "modesty gentleman" when he wrote the letter.I'm afraid that Zhang Dun will think of this and ask him for someone, but he can't change him into a living person.You can't take Zhang Dun to the county palace.It is estimated that everyone's good days are coming to an end.

Extending the head is also a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife.Su Shi did a good job of mental preparation, and said, "I don't know him." "What? Who do you not know?" Zhang Dun didn't react for a while.

"I said I didn't know the 'Qianqian Gentleman', so we only passed letters and never met. I don't know who he is." Su Shi made a draft, trying to get away with it.

"What? Who are you lying to? Where did the letter come from? Don't tell me you picked it up on the road. It can come and go, and then you write it down and throw it on the ground, and they will receive it. Stop talking nonsense, tell me, hurry up Say. Hey, don’t play sloppy with the old brother, I’m looking for him in a hurry.” Zhang Dun knew who Su Shi was talking to him.

"Oh, this, that, I really don't know." Su Shi stubbornly resisted, still hoping to fool Zhang Dun.

"Don't talk nonsense, tell me quickly, who is he? I'll find him myself. I'm really in a hurry, and I'm on fire. You can be more careful, you plan to teach and educate people to the end Don’t you? You don’t plan to meddle in state affairs, do you?” When Zhang Dun heard that Su Shi was still talking nonsense, he jumped up angrily, pushed and shoved Su Shi into a corner: “You have to say what you say today, If you don't say it, you have to say it. Say it, say it."

"Oh? Teacher? You are...?" Zhao Ji, who came to Wen Shizhai to find Su Shi, stood at the entrance of Wen Shizhai with a mask on his face, watching the teacher being pinned against the wall. (Because of the angle, Zhang Dun turned his back to Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji did not see his face.)

"Ah, His Majesty the Eleventh, umhhh, what are you doing here to see Weichen?" Upon hearing Zhao Ji's voice, Su Shi hurriedly straightened his clothes, pulled Zhang Dun aside, and poked his head out. "Your Highness the Eleventh is really timely."Why are you still not leaving?Didn't see me, anyone looking for it here? Su Shi glanced at Zhang Dun, "What kind of arrogance is it, if you don't want to be ashamed, just leave." '

However, Master Su underestimated Prime Minister Zhang's thick skin.Not only did Zhang Dun not leave, but he straightened his clothes in a leisurely manner. Shi Shiran turned his head: "My minister, Zhang Dun, pay my respects to Your Highness the Eleventh."

"Master Zhang? Why are you here?" Zhao Ji actually wanted to ask: "What were you two doing just now?" '

"Oh, it's like this. Weichen and Zizhan are discussing a small gathering, and they plan to invite Zizhan's children to gather together." Zhang Dun squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Ji while answering the question.Zhang Dun is already suspicious of these students of Su Shi. 'It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I'll find it myself, hum! '

"Your Highness the Eleventh, what are you doing here to see Wei Chen?" Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Shi hurriedly took over the conversation, hoping that Zhao Ji would leave as soon as he finished speaking, so as not to be targeted by Zhang Dun.

"It's like this, teacher, brother Jiu is about to turn sixteen, and he hasn't picked up a word yet. I want to ask the teacher to pick up a word for my birthday in a few days. The student is sending an invitation card to the teacher for Brother Jiu Yes." Zhao Ji said as he took out an invitation card with gold borders from his sleeve and handed it to Su Shi.

"Hehe, it's not in vain to invite the teacher to dinner. You have to give the teacher a task first. You really have the demeanor of a profiteer." Su Shi stroked his three long beards, took the invitation with a smile, and was about to open it slowly. Suddenly, Zhang Dun, who was standing aside, grabbed the invitation and opened it to read.

"Oh, it turns out that it's the county prince's birthday. I wonder if I can go with you?" Zhang Dun didn't know what was wrong, so he offered to celebrate his birthday.

"Ah? Ah, Dang, of course, welcome Mr. Zhang." Zhao Ji was already in a mess, looking at the teacher Su Shi whose face was so dark that he didn't know what to say.The main reason is that I have never encountered such a situation before. God knows how such a thing happened.

"Well, I have thanked His Royal Highness the Eleventh. I still have something to deal with, so I will go ahead. I will leave." Zhang Dun got the answer he wanted, greeted him and left.It's like waving your sleeves without taking away a cloud...

Mr. Zhang left gracefully.Su Shi and Zhao Ji were left relatively silent, looking at each other in blank dismay. "Teacher, what's going on with Mr. Zhang?" Zhao Ji was really frightened and wanted to find comfort from the teacher. "Don't pay attention to him, he's convulsed." Su Shi was furious. 'Okay, Zhang Dun, if I don't tell you, you'll start thinking about my students, right? '

But the matter is very important, Su Shi thought about it, and he had to talk to Zhao Bi first.Zhang Dun is so cunning and cunning that he is really difficult to deal with. (Zhang Dun: "Who are you calling treacherous and cunning? I am so smart, okay?")

So Su Shi said to Zhao Ji: "Well, I had a correspondence with Mr. Zhang before. At that time, it happened that I had a close relationship with my little friend, so I revealed one or two of his novel ideas in the letter. Now Mr. Zhang returned Chao, I wanted to make friends with my little friend, so I came to ask. But I don’t know who my little friend is, so I can’t answer him.” After speaking, he looked up at Zhao Ji who was startled again, and left.

Poor Zhao Ji was left standing alone, with only one thought in his mind: "This is a serious matter, I have to report to Brother Nine quickly."
