All the brothers in the family knew that Song Jiang was a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. However, most of the time when everyone gathered together, they would discuss martial arts. Then they would talk nonsense about world affairs, anecdotes about the world, and trivial matters in the neighborhood. If they were serious about reciting poems and singing lyrics, there were not many brothers here.

Personally, I like it. Not even Song Jiang is in the same situation today, but the words he sang were composed by his aunt and grandma back then. When everyone knew about it, they all sat upright and listened carefully.

Song Jiang finished chanting, paused slightly, and said: "Our aunt-in-law has outstanding appearance and versatile talents in both civil and military affairs. She was one of the most talented women in the world together with Su Shi's sister Su Xiaomei. No one in the Song Dynasty can match her. Perhaps only in recent years, she suddenly became famous.

Female laywoman Li Yian from Jinan Prefecture will be comparable in the future.

"The name of our great-great-grandfather is Ruan Yi, followed by our great-grandfather Ruan Xing. Although many people in the world don't know his name, our great-grandfather's name is actually Ta Trent, and our master's name is Ta Fei. The name of our master's family is indeed derived from 'Yixing Trent Fei'"

Yes, but 'Xing' and 'Tun' are brother and sister, but not from two generations. The joke between Master Zhou Tong and his master back then had its own origin.

"My aunt has been very smart and good-looking since she was a child. When she grew up, suitors flocked to her. My aunt's eyes were as high as the sky and she didn't take anyone seriously. At that time, Cai Jing asked Wang Jinggong to propose marriage on his behalf.

I don’t know when my great-grandfather met Cai Jing, but she always disliked him for being cunning and a treacherous minister. My great-great-grandfather regarded him as the apple of his eye, so he naturally obeyed and rejected Cai Jing.

"In those days, Zhang Dun had a good relationship with his master and often interacted with each other. Therefore, Zhang Dun often went in and out of the Ruan family. When his aunt and uncle met him by chance, they fell in love with him. Zhang Dun had a bold and forthright personality, handsome appearance, elegant and free manners, and outstanding intelligence.

, has extensive and profound knowledge, excellent writing and calligraphy, and is highly respected by the world. He has a close relationship with Xueshi Su, and the two of them are both leaders in the world. This person likes to cultivate himself, and when he was young, he asked his master for advice, but his master did not do it himself.

, but he taught them all, and he had an air of immortality.

"Zhang Dun was frightened by his tribe's strange visions since he was a child, and became even more proud when he grew up. In the second year of Jiayou's reign, he passed the imperial examination, and his nephew Zhang Heng won the first prize in the examination. Zhang Dun was humiliated by Zhang Heng, refused to accept the imperial edict, and was thrown away

The fact that he returned home despite the imperial edict showed that this person was by no means a slut. However, Zhang Dun already had a wife at that time and was more than ten years older, so his great-grandfather ignored him and decided to marry him. When his great-great-grandfather found out, he was extremely angry and resolute.

He refused. Later, when Zhang Dun went on a mission to the Liao Kingdom, his great-grandfather actually followed him privately. This made his great-great-grandfather so embarrassed that he resigned and returned to his hometown. The great-great-grandfather followed Zhang Dun on his mission to the Liao Kingdom.

After finding out the truth and reality of the Liao Kingdom, he actually left his great uncle there to help investigate the enemy's situation. Later, Zhang Dun conquered Xixia again. The Song army won three times in three battles. Song and Xia negotiated peace, and Xixia proclaimed itself a vassal to the Song Dynasty. During this period, his great uncle also provided the terrain of Xixia.

Figure has made great contributions.

"Master Guzu and Zhang Dun also have descendants who are still stranded in the northwest at the junction of Xixia and Liao. They still communicate with important people in the Privy Council and the Imperial City Department, and contribute to the country. This matter involves the secrets of the Song Dynasty spies. If it is revealed,

, we all deserve to die, not only will we harm the family and lives of our ancestors and descendants, but we will also ruin national affairs." After Song Jiang said this, he looked around, and all the brothers nodded in agreement.

Song Jiang continued: "My aunt and my grandson suffered a lot, but I had no regrets. This does not mean that Zhang Dun did not love my aunt and my grandson. Zhang Dun had been in power for seven years and never used his power as prime minister to give away titles."

, but no one of his sons or nephews has the ambition to hold an official position. Even though the current Daojun emperor knew that Zhang Dun blocked his accession to the throne, he did not dislike him because of it. He always praised him for his loyalty and selflessness. At that time, Zhang Dun requested to be exempted from political affairs and went to the throne five times.

Neither the official nor the imperial edict allowed it, which shows how heavy the reliance is. Although Zhang Dun died in the banished office, Emperor Daojun still restored his special promotion and applied for the title of Duke of Guo. Later, he was given the title of Grand Master of Guanwen Palace and Grand Master, and he was posthumously named Wei Guogong and praised him.

"The third generation of Bi Liang encouraged hundreds of people to do their best, praising Heaven's work at the top, and deciding the affairs of the country at the bottom," and his evaluation is very high."

Although brothers Chao Gai and Song Jiang are both disciples of the Ruan clan, it is Ruan Xiaoer's name that brings about the strange connection with master Ruan Fei. Also, they have the same surname as master, so Ruan Xiaoer has always seemed to be the closest to his master.

Ruan Xiaoer, Xiaowu and Xiaoqi acted as if they were from the same family. When Song Jiang talked about the incident between Ruan Yinu and Zhang Dun, the waiter immediately felt that Ruan Xun was sacred and inviolable. Zhang Dun was old and had a wife.

He was very angry when he provoked his aunt and uncle again. He felt both love and pity for his aunt and grandma. He couldn't help but said bitterly: "Zhang Dun is such a big man, but he does things worse than pigs and dogs. A traitor is indeed a traitor!"

Song Jiang smiled bitterly: "This matter was originally caused by my aunt, and she put in a lot of effort. Naturally, Zhang Dun was not unwilling. At first, he was just ashamed and didn't dare. This is a matter for the elders, and it will be over.

After many years, Zhang Dun passed away. My great-great-grandfather was satisfied and determined to live in the world. Zhang Dun was naturally the proud uncle of our sect. Although my great-grandfather and great-grandfather always refused, it was a thing of the past.

"I am specifically saying this today, but I am not trying to make him feel bad. I just want to say that Zhang Dun once again introduced a new law, which was most effective. The Song Dynasty became rich and powerful. Then it conquered Xixia, attacked Tubo, opened up the southwest, consolidated border defenses, and improved ordnance.

Finally, more than 40 states and counties in Hunan, Hubei, Xixia, and Tubo were included in the territory of the Song Dynasty. Zhang Dun was indomitable. He was a hero and a close relative of his disciples. If we abuse him outside, it would not only be disrespectful to the elders of his disciples, but also

Not being able to distinguish between right and wrong is the source of great injustice and injustice in the world.”

The waiter was simple-minded and knew what was near and what was far. When he was shocked to learn that Zhang Dun was his aunt's grandfather, he no longer held any grudge. On the contrary, after listening to Song Jiang's brother praising him as a hero, he immediately felt extremely close to him.

Zhu Tong shook his head slightly and said: "He has three major faults. One is that he wants to whip Prime Minister Sima to death, the other is that he wants to demote Su Dongpo to the miasmatic place in Lingnan, and the other is a Yuanyou party member who wants to demote him to Lingnan.

All of them were executed. These three things have been criticized by the world. In many other things, such as the Xia army's capture of Jinyue Village and the attempt to kill the entire army of 4,000 people after the death of the commander Zhang Xing, etc., they all show that the murderous spirit is too strong."

Song Jiang sighed and said: "Master Zhang Dun and Master Sima Guang are dedicated to state affairs. Zhang Dun is courageous and resolute, while Sima Guang is rigorous and thoughtful. They are both indispensable talents in this world. It is really regrettable that the two of them are at odds with each other."

Lu Junyi said in embarrassment: "The death of Mr. Sima Prime Minister has made the whole world mourn and everyone is paying homage to him. Our uncle, my uncle, actually wanted to open his grave and whip his corpse. If Emperor Shaosheng hadn't stopped him, he would have done it. His good reputation would only be ruined."

Not easy to maintain.”

Song Jiang stood up slowly, frowned and said, "Zhang Dun wants to whip Sima Guang to death, which is indeed an act of humiliation to the world and angering the ghosts and gods." He slowly walked to Ruan Xiaowu, who was lowering his head and concentrating on carving the child model.

Child molding was originally a children's clay art toy that originated from the Tang and Song dynasties. It became even more popular due to the introduction of printing in the Song Dynasty, and adults were often keen on it.

Song Jiang raised his toes a little between Xiaowu's elbows, and moved his palm like a knife, hitting Xiaowu's wrist. Xiaowu couldn't prevent it, and the child model slipped from his hands. Song Jiang had already dropped his toes, and he picked up the child model, and his hand dropped.

Taking it in his hand, Xiaowu looked up at Song Jiang Yile, thinking that Brother Song Jiang was in a good mood, but he was still joking with me.

Song Jiang suddenly raised his hand and threw Xiaoer's half-dry clay model to the ground, breaking it into pieces. Xiaoer's face turned red, he stood up and said hurriedly: "Brother Jiyu, why did you drop my model?" Xiao Wu

The clay materials for the child molds are carefully selected, and they are even more carefully cared for during the production process. Once they are dropped, it will feel like their heart has been ripped out.

If it were not Song Jiang or Chao Gai who threw the child model today, but someone else, Xiao Wu would immediately have a fit. Even if it was Song Jiang today, Xiao Wu would still look straight at him, full of confusion, and he must understand.

Song Jiang grabbed his hand and said loudly: "All the brothers know that Xiaowu and I are close, but suddenly his most beloved thing was broken for no reason, no wonder he got angry and extremely angry. Except for Brother Chao and me,

If there was a third person, Xiao Wu might have a fight. A little further away, if it were not our own brothers, we might even have murderous intentions."

After Song Jiang finished speaking, he let go of Xiao Wu's hand and said, "Although Mr. Sima said that his character was fine, he was stubborn to the end and tried his best to block the new law. Not only did he say that the new law was useless, his abolition left no room for negotiation. Even Mr. Zhang deliberately tried to

Master Sima wanted to cede and give away the lost land gained in Xixia. He failed many people's loyalty and deeds, so Master Zhang proposed at that time that those who wanted to be killed were killed. Later, it was said that he wanted to have Sima Xiangye whipped to death, and he was angry and disobedient because of this.

.That Sima Guang was diligent and honest in his work, and had a great reputation in the court. Even Emperor Zhezong tried to stop him. This kind of insult to the politeness of the court only increased his own guilt and made the Song Dynasty a joke. Zhang Dun should think about it.

I won't really do it. This is the most controversial thing in the country, and there are many people in the world who are not angry. Today, Song Jiang borrowed Xiaowu's model to talk about it, hoping to calm the doubts and resentments in the hearts of brothers. It's a pity that Xiaowu brothers and models!"

Xiaowu burst into tears and laughed, "Woo-woo" and said: "My child model——". But all the brothers laughed and said to themselves: "It turns out that the ministers of all the families are fighting to the death for the best in their minds.

Toy." Song Jiang took out a dark red child model from his pocket, with the pattern of a snake swallowing a frog and its veins as clear as ancient vines, lifelike, and handed it to Xiao Wu: "Brother, I will give you the best child model.

." Xiaowu happily accepted it, but said: "If one falls, I should pay for both, otherwise my heart will hurt so much, but where can I make up for it?"

Song Jiang raised his hands to Chao Gai again and said: "Brother Chao Gai, you must have misunderstood just now when you said that Wang Anshi was a traitor. I have heard a lot about the new legal system outside. Can you tell me about it?"

Chao Gai smiled and nodded: "Brother Song Jiang works as an official in the Yamen and is well-informed. Brothers, there are many things that are surprising about the new method, so please tell me more."

Song Jiang received Chao Gai's instructions, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Whether Wang Jinggong is successful in changing the new law or not, he is the same as Sima Cheng in facing the new law. He is a man, an official, and a person of high conduct, loyal and selfless, and he should not

It varies depending on whether they support the new law. The implementation of the new law by the Song Dynasty court was not caused by Wang Anshi. Fan Zhongyan had already preceded the Qingli New Deal. The new law is to the current government like water is to fish, and food is to the people. It cannot be separated.

Otherwise, there would not have been Duke Fan Wenzheng before him, Wang Anshi, Zhang Dun, and Cai Jing after him. Emperors Shenzong and Zhezong once supported it. Even the current Emperor Daojun was also keen on it. He once forced Zhang Dun to preside over the new law, but
Chapter completed!
