"The official has a decree to summon all the ministers to the Chui Gong Hall to listen to the court!" Wan
Following the eunuch's slightly sharp voice, the entire courtyard immediately became quiet. Some people were arranging their court clothes, and some were looking through their own wat boards. Everything became meticulous.
Lu Yijian put the long-winged hat on his head and looked at the trembling long wings on both sides with his peripheral vision. After it stabilized, he reached out and let Ye An step forward to help him up. His eyes were full of pity and said: "Mrs. Wang Yaochen
I'm anxious, maybe it would be better if it were Song Xiang, but he..."
"Song Shenzhen is a gentleman and will not criticize me for nothing."
Lu Yijian chuckled and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Is it really unreasonable? From the first day you entered the Great Song Dynasty, I knew that you looked down on us. That kind of contempt was deep in your bones and high above us. Even if
You try your best to hide and cover up, but you can't do it without leaking anything. Where does your arrogance come from? Can you tell me before I die?"
Ye An smiled and said: "For a person like you who lives a hundred years, I'm afraid he won't be able to wait until that day!"
"I still don't want to say it!" After saying that, Lu Yijian gently shook his arm and shook off Ye An's supporting hand and walked towards Chui Gong Hall first. As for the courtiers behind him, they also ignored Ye An's existence, making him feel lonely again.
Song Xiang looked at Ye An seriously when he passed by him, but in the end he left without saying a word. The others didn't care, as if he didn't exist at all. Wan
Since he pinned people to the ground and despised them, he was destined to have no friends, but Ye An felt a little relieved.
Ouyang Xiu was considered a kind person and reminded him in a low voice: "Marquis Ye, the rumors about Ganliang have spread to Tokyo. Rumors are spreading everywhere, which may harm your reputation."
Ye An smiled and nodded, but did not speak to him. Ouyang Xiu had no choice but to leave when he saw this. He knew that this was to avoid suspicion, and Ye An was trying to avoid being criticized by others for his right words and knowledge of Gao who had just taken office.
A pure gentleman cannot be a good official, so Lu Yijian is not a gentleman, Xia Song is not, and even Fan Zhongyan is not considered a gentleman. However, the things in a gentleman are something that people look up to. Their simplicity makes people feel pitiful.
Respectable and fearful.
Ye An has been trying to turn himself into a gentleman in the eyes of Song people for so many years, but his standards are too high. He wants to make the world classless and make everyone live comfortably and fairly in this world.
So everyone stayed away from him.
There is no such thing as fairness in this world. Some people live comfortably, but some people are destined to suffer. Some people have the wisdom to rule others, but some people must be ruled and become ignorant people.
He, Ye An, is the only one who doesn't understand such a simple truth. Who among the smart people in the court doesn't know this? This is not the behavior of a gentleman, but the idea of a fool, and this fool is a man of both civil and military skills.
So from the very beginning, Ye An misunderstood the definition of a gentleman. He was destined to only be liked by ordinary people, peddlers, and fighting men in the army. These people were in opposition to the ruling class from the beginning.
To govern others, one is governed by others.
Although he was not on assignment, Ye An was still a high-ranking and important minister. The chamberlain was leading the way diligently, but behind him was Jia Changchao, the right-hand admonishment doctor. Until now, Ye An's status is still literary, at least based on his talents.
The direct bachelors of Tianzhang Pavilion were judged on their rank in the court, rather than the champion generals were judged on their seniority in the court.
This was the last dignity left to him, otherwise he would have stood in the ranks of military generals, and he would have been at the forefront, which was considered humiliating for Ye An, a man with a literary background.
Ye An still leaned on the nearest palace pillar. There was an earth dragon in the hanging arch palace, but most of the heat went upwards, and his feet were cold. Fortunately, he didn't feel it even though he wore cotton-lined official boots.
I couldn't help but lean my legs against the warm palace pillars. These were hollow copper pillars that had been warmed by the fire.
Seeing Ye An pretending to be dead in the palace, Zhao Zhen was furious. The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had told him in detail about the matter of being discharged from the hospital. Wang Yaochen was so impulsive that he was killed by Ye An.
I unknowingly took off the water.
However, Lu Yijian's words made Zhao Zhen quite pleased, thinking that this veteran's method could finally restrain Ye An.
But in fact, Ye An looks down on Zhao Zhen more and more. His methods can't be said to be too clumsy, but they are heartless. If he really uses all kinds of methods to punish himself, Ye An really has nothing to say. It's a big deal.
Just take the remaining people from the Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion and leave. Wan
Zhao Zhen is still indecisive now. He wants to hand over all the rights in his hands, but he also doesn't want to lose the peaceful situation between the monarch and his ministers, let alone lose the wealth of Ganliang. That kind of cautious feeling is really not the behavior of an emperor.
Ye An never thought about betraying the Han Dynasty, nor did he fully intend to rebel against the Song Dynasty. He felt that the dynasty would fall apart and fall apart without him betraying it.
But this time what he experienced was not an invasion from outside, but a disintegration from within...
Wang Yaochen's mission when he returned to the court was to report the battle situation to Zhao Zhen and the courtiers. How the army was defeated, how much was lost, how many enemies were killed, all of this needed to be explained to the emperor face to face.
When Wang Yaochen mentioned that Han Qi was the main combatant, Ye An glanced at him. Han Qi was not the only main combatant in the Song Dynasty. There were many people who clamored to give color to the Western thieves and let them feel
Damn it! Now everyone is pretending to be dead, as if it has nothing to do with him.
When Wang Yaochen spoke impassionedly about how the people in the northwest supported the battlefield, Ye An breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep. When Wang Yaochen recounted how Li Yuanhao led the fierce party members to fight against the Song army, Ye An raised his
Eyelids pretended not to hear again. When Wang Yaochen said that the Song Dynasty border army had excellent armor but could not withstand a battle, Ye An let out a disdainful sneer from the corner of his sleepy mouth. Zhao Zhen, who had been observing Ye An for a long time, did not understand why he
There will be this expression.
The censor in the palace has been putting up with it for a long time. He is the only person in the Song Dynasty who dares to be so slack. However, no one is willing to trouble him at the moment, because after he beat the censor before, he was only fined copper for half a year by the officials.

However, after Wang Yaochen finished speaking, Tian Kuang came out and raised the Chao Hut in his hand towards Ye An and said: "Why is Ye Hou so sleepy? Is what the prince said not consistent with the facts? Or does he have other high opinions?"
It was most uncomfortable for Ruodaozi to speak. Ye An frowned slightly and looked at Zhao Zhen, who was in court uniform and said, cupping his hands and saying, "Wang Hanlin is right about asking the official family, but he is evading the important and taking the easy. Should all the blame be put on Han Qi?"
Or should we blame it all on General Ren and the border troops who led the battle? Isn't this too cold-blooded!"
"If that's the case, then Ye Qing can tell you the reason for our army's defeat in this battle?"
There was some dissatisfaction in Zhao Zhen's eyes, but more of it was anger. He felt that Ye An's words seemed to be saying that the Song Dynasty had no generals available, and he, Ye An, was the only general who could fight. It was more like threatening himself.
But Ye An doesn't want to continue to be cowardly. He has been quiet enough during this period. After being quiet to a certain level, he must explode, or he has seen clearly.
He straightened his back and said loudly in the main hall: "If you act too hastily, you will use your troops without a master, and you don't know the right time, place, and people! Although General Ren has led troops into good rivers, he is also eager to rescue, and he obeys the commander's orders! According to my ministers
As we know, in the battle of Haoshuichuan, our Song Dynasty border troops fought hard and lost more than ten thousand people. They had no intention of fighting. It was really helpless to be surrounded by Haoshuichuan. The reinforcements from all walks of life did not know the battle situation and were ordered to rush to one place.
There are many firearms that are less than three-tenths, or even less than one-tenth. I would like to ask, where have the firearms of the Song Dynasty gone? If there were firearms, it would be necessary to break through the encirclement and break the formation, and it would never be possible to use nearly ten
The army of ten thousand was defeated in one battle! I believe that Xia Song, the Shaanxi economic and strategic pacification envoy, should be held responsible for improper employment, and Han Qi, the deputy pacifying envoy, used troops improperly and was eager for quick success, and Fan Zhongyan should also be held responsible for failing to dissuade him!"
Now that his words have made it clear, Ye An has no intention of restraining himself. Even he cannot accept the defeat of the Song Dynasty in Haoshuichuan. The northwest trio should bear the greatest responsibility in such a big war. Wan
