Fan Zhongyan was very tired, and even if he continued, he would feel like he was about to collapse. Even after knowing victory, his old husband secretly called for luck. He didn't want to care about anything. He just lay on his back on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, wanting to rest, but he couldn't sleep. His eyes were sore and painful, and tears kept appearing in front of him, and he shouted and rushed.

When it comes to this battle between Song and Liao, the person who is the most tiring is not Wang Ning'an, not Di Qing, but this Xianggong Fan!

From the beginning, he was questioned by various questions. Even his former comrades thought he wanted to take the opportunity to resume, and there were enough gods in the court that he could not hold on to Fan Zhongyan.

So from the Liao soldiers, all kinds of open and hidden arrows came one after another, and disappeared without a moment.

When he lost Baigou Post, someone impeached him and demanded the removal of Fan Zhongyan. Fortunately, Zhao Zhen did not act as a teammate of the pig this time, so he held on, and Fan Zhongyan's position was quite stable.

But then, the Song army strengthened the walls and cleared the fields, attacked the Liao territory, destroyed the food supply route of the Liao Kingdom, and killed a lot of people, even let the generals command their troops and fight independently, without having to rescue the critical city, and regardless of the people who were looted by the Liao soldiers... All of this became an excuse for the censors to attack Lao Fan and impeach the generals.

Standing on the shore watching the boat capsize, they had no idea about the difficulties of Hebei, nor did they understand the dangers of war. Everything relied on their malicious imagination, attacked unscrupulously, and spared no effort to smear...

Faced with these people, Fan Zhongyan was not angry, but afraid, not afraid of what he would do, but afraid that Hebei really couldn't hold on. Once the Liao soldiers headed south and killed the capital, how could this group of waste resist the Liao soldiers like wolves and tigers!

Wang Ning'an often said that he was not afraid of a god-like opponent, but was afraid of a pig-like teammate. And the corrupt scholars and Qingliu in the court were pig teammates of the combat soldiers, plus the pig opponents of the Liao Kingdom!

Do you still need enemies if you have them here?

Thinking of this, Fan Zhongyan felt that the Six Arts School was too important. The court used the imperial examinations to select scholars and articles to select people. In such a single and biased way, how can we select suitable talents?

Only by truly calming one's mind and cultivating a large number of scholars and officials who are both civil and military, and have real abilities can we reverse the deteriorating national destiny of the Song Dynasty.

The Qingli New Deal failed, and the Song Dynasty missed the best reform opportunity. If we don’t seize the time, we will be afraid that it will not be far from the destruction of the country and the destruction...

After victory, Fan Zhongyan could breathe a sigh of relief. The old husband put down the burden of family, country and the world, and took on another burden of teaching and educating people.

He decided to devote himself to teaching at the Six Arts School, sort out what he learned and thoughts throughout his life, and cultivate talents for the country.

However, the old husband still needs to stand in the last shift and handle the peace talks well in order to retreat beautifully and brightly.

Lao Fan thought very well, the most difficult part has been completed, and the rest will not be difficult! But there are people who are constantly refreshing the definition of mental retardation. The stupidity is simply amazing and dumbfounded!

The Liao Kingdom sent Liu Liufu, the Tongpingzhang clerk, to Bianjing to meet Zhao Zhen. He first celebrated his birthday and presented some gifts. The two sides got along very happily, but then things suddenly changed.

Liu Liufu accused the Song Dynasty of destroying the alliance between the two sides and provoking the Liao Dynasty, which led to the war between the two sides. All the losses suffered by the Liao Kingdom were to be borne by the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty sent Wang Gongchen, deputy envoy of Privy Council, to be responsible for negotiations. At first, Wang Xianggong also argued with reason, but Liu Liufu took out a piece of evidence, which suddenly blocked Wang Gongchen's mouth.

According to the Chanyuan Alliance of Song and Liao, both sides were not allowed to build new cities in the border areas. However, the Song Dynasty violated the alliance and built several cities in the Cangzhou area, with a large scale, with more than 100,000 people. Is there any slightest bit of benevolence, righteousness and integrity in this way?

In the court, Wang Xianggong, who often used the amazing arguments, faced the accusations of the Liao envoy, could not refute them, and could only make ambiguous words. As a result, Liu Liufu caught the pain and demanded that the Song Dynasty must first destroy the city, and then the two sides could negotiate, otherwise the Liao Kingdom would raise troops south and take action to destroy the city!

Wang Gongchen had no choice but to report to Zhao Zhen.

"Your Majesty, I am in a direction that puts benevolence and righteousness first and builds a city in Cangzhou, but there is something wrong with it. Can I temporarily stop work?" Wang Gongchen said worriedly.

The one who built the new city in Cangzhou was Wang Ning'an, Ouyang Xiu, and Fan Zhongyan. According to the principle, Fu Bi should speak, but the old man lowered his head and silently.

However, the Privy Councilor Pang Ji and Xianggong stood up.

"I'll tell Your Majesty that the construction of a city in Cangzhou is to settle the victims, and the second is that the whaling in Cangzhou needs to be processed and processed. The construction of a city is not to deal with the Liao Kingdom. We can explain that if we obey the Liao Kingdom's intention, what should the hundreds of thousands of victims be? Will Wang Xianggong have a way to settle it?"

Pang Ji said this entirely from public intention, but Wang Gongchen had a ghost in his heart. He was very close to Wen Yanbo and was in a situation of undermining Pang Ji. Could it be that Pang Xianggong took the opportunity to attack?

Wang Gongchen said: "Gonggong Pang, in order to help the victims, he wants to build a city. I am afraid that it is not good to say it, so the Liao Kingdom underestimated the Song Dynasty! Can't the imperial court even control hundreds of thousands of people?"

Pang Ji snorted coldly, "Good King Wang, the fact is that if it weren't for the whaling of a large number of whales last year, the number of victims starving to death in Hebei would not be tens of thousands, but tens of thousands! This is obvious to all. What's the use of concealing us? Don't Liao Kingdom know that, it will make people look smaller if they want to cover up the situation!!"

Wen Yanbo, who had been silent, finally spoke. It would be impossible not to speak. Pang Ji was not something that Wang Gongchen could suppress.

"What Mr. Pang said is reason, but Mr. Wang was concerned about love! No matter what, as a minister of the Song Dynasty, he should take care of the face of the court. No matter what, building a city in Cangzhou always violates the alliance of Chanyuan. If you keep it blindly, the Liao Kingdom will force you, and the army will cause trouble and will not be at peace. The court will suffer too much loss, and I am afraid that the treasury will not be able to bear it."

Another fiscal gap!

This reason has almost become omnipotent. Zhao Zhen was angry, but he had no choice but to do anything about it.

At the stalemate, Fu Bi suddenly stood up, "Your Majesty, I think you might as well ask the Hebei side to see the new city in Cangzhou, can you stop?"

This ordinary and even cowardly proposal was actually unanimously agreed by the monarch and ministers. In this way, the court urgently handed it to Fan Zhongyan.

...

Wang Ning'an has been very busy these days. When his father came back, there was another person who forced himself to practice martial arts.

Especially when Wang Liangjing followed Di Qing this time, Di Qing was also very inspired. He even wanted to take Di Qing as his teacher. How dare Di Hanchen agree? Your son is my son's teacher and helped me a lot. Now my brothers are accustomed to him. If I accept his father as his apprentice, wouldn't Wang Ning'an be two generations lower than himself! One generation lower than Di Yong! What a joke!

Di Qing's head was shaking like a rattle.

"What does a child care about his ignorance?" Di Qing refused to agree no matter how Wang Liangjing patted his chest, which made Wang Liangjing very depressed and threw all his anger on his son.

"Look at Di Yong, then look at Yang Huaiyu. They are both children of generals, and they are fighting on the battlefield and are brave enough to be unworthy of thousands of men. That is a good seedling. Your level is too poor now. If you say it, your father will blush for you!"

"If you are willing to blush, you will blush! If you have the ability to call Di Yong and Yang Huaiyu, I can let them clean the toilet for a year!" Wang Ning'an had a lot of opinions, but he forgot that he could reason with anyone, just don't talk to his father!

"I tell you, Wang Liangjing's son must be both civil and military, and cannot be a weak cock who can only be clever! Practice! Practice it for me!"

From fists and feet to weapons, from practicing cypress stakes to stances, carrying water buckets, I got a large bucket of raw mung beans, saying that I wanted to learn iron sand palms...

Wang Ning'an looked at his white and tender little hands and was almost crying.

Just when he was upset, Fan Chunren and Fan Chunli arrived.

"Help, come!" Wang Ning'an threw the mung beans, turned around and ran away, "Go away quickly and take me to see your father."

Fan Chunren said exaggeratedly, "Oh my God, sir, you will predict the future! How do you know that my father asked us to come to you?"

"Yes, sir, do you still know that the court has come to the court to stop the new city of Cangzhou!" Fan Chunli said heartlessly.

Knock!

Wang Ning'an stopped all of a sudden. He thought it would be better to practice kung fu. Although it was a little tiring and harder, at least don't pay attention to those brainless big headscarves.

Wang Ning'an was dragged to Fan Zhongyan's study with full of reluctance. Ouyang Xiu was there. After seeing the ceremony, he briefly explained the situation. Fan Zhongyan smiled bitterly: "Although the court did not say it clearly, it is intriguing to send official documents to ask about it. The princes in the court did not really support the construction of the city!"

Wang Ning'an was stuffy and full of anger, and was about to explode.

"I'm talking about Xianggong Fan. Are those things in the court receiving the salary of the Song Dynasty or the salary of the Liao Kingdom? Why don't they know how to help the Song Dynasty?"

Fan Zhongyan's old face turned red, and Ouyang Xiu's face was so angry that he was so angry that he was not as good as Fan Zhongyan's monks halfway through. Ouyang Xiu was involved in the plan and assisted in the planning of the city. During the construction, he also went to the construction site to urge students to practice. How could a city built with bricks and tiles stop?

"Alas, after all, we have to take into account the face of the court. The Chanyuan Alliance was agreed upon by both sides." Fan Zhongyan sighed helplessly.

"You are really a gentleman with a gentleman who abides by the Chanyuan Alliance? Why don't they say that the Chanyuan Alliance stipulates that the annual monies are 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 pieces of silk, but now it is 200,000 taels of silver and 300,000 pieces of silk! How do you calculate the extra one?" Wang Ning'an angrily said.

Ouyang Xiu wrily said, "The last time the annual quota was added was discussed by Fu Yanguo. After all, both sides agreed, but this time it was our unilateral construction of the city. It really makes sense. Otherwise, Erlang, do you think of a solution?"

The drunkard's fox tail was finally revealed. It turned out that he was trying to squeeze Wang Ning'an into force this kid to use his brain and make a decision.

Wang Ning'an was silent for a while, with a contempt on his face and sneered: "Grandpa Fan, Zuiweng, you are so gentlemen! This is very simple. Tell the court that we are not building a city, let the Liao Kingdom visit casually!" History has become a dust and said that one chapter will come first, and continue to write more in the afternoon. There should be three chapters left...
Chapter completed!
