People in the Song Dynasty were lawless

Chapter 482 Sunny and Cheerful Boy
It feels good to copy lyrics, and it feels good to copy lyrics all the time.

This was Zhao Jun’s original idea.

It was especially satisfying to copy Yan Shu and his son Yan Jidao in front of Yan Shu and see Yan Shu getting angry.

He even copied Fan Zhongyan, and the only thing he did was take Liu Yong to visit a brothel.

The only pity is that Lu Yijian was not a great poet, otherwise, given his relationship with Lu Yijian at the time, he would have copied Lu Yijian till nothing was left.

Later, on a whim, the newly born Su Shi soon became a victim of Zhao Jun's copying of his poems.

At that time, I thought that Su Shi had just been born and there was still a long way to go for him to grow up.

If I copy a few of his poems now, who will care about what happens in the future?
As a result, sixteen years passed in a blink of an eye, and the real owner really grew up and came to seek justice.

The boomerang from my youth has come back to me again. How can I seek justice?
Facing the other people's parents, Zhao Jun was speechless for a moment.

The main reason was that he had copied Su Xun's "On the Six Kingdoms" at the beginning, and later he copied so many poems by Su Shi.

He really felt a little sorry for the Su father and son.

"Pfft!"

"Hahahahaha."

Yan Shu was the first to laugh, clapping his hands on the table and laughing.

Pang Ji, who was standing beside him, was very puzzled and asked, "Mr. Yan, why are you laughing?"

"I remembered happy things."

"What happy thing?"

"My wife is having a baby."

Yan Shu covered his mouth and tried hard to hold back his laughter.

Pang Ji: “???”

Fu Bi: “???”

Wen Yanbo: “???”

The other prime ministers: “???”

"Hahahahaha."

Fan Zhongyan couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter.

Han Qi turned his head and asked tentatively: "Mr. Fan, why are you laughing?"

"My wife also gave birth to a child."

Fan Zhongyan held his stomach and laughed so hard that he couldn't help laughing. Especially after seeing that Zhao Jun's face had turned red, he couldn't help it anymore.

"Forehead"

As soon as they said this, the prime ministers in the room who didn't know the truth couldn't hold back any more.

Du Yan, who was more experienced, asked in surprise, "Are your wives the same person?"

"Yeah"

Yan Shu almost laughed to death.

"No."

It was Fan Zhongyan who finally responded, and he smiled and said, "They gave birth to the child on the same day."

"."

Everyone looked at each other.

Fu Bi said, not knowing whether he was teasing or expressing admiration, "The two elders are still strong despite their old age."

The Constitutional Yuan is now younger.

Zhao Jun was 38 years old, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, Han Qi and others were basically around 48 years old, with an average age of around 50.

Except for Du Yan who was 74 years old, the others including Fan Zhongyan, Yan Shu, Xia Song, Zheng Jian and others were all in their 60s. It was indeed unusual for them to be able to have children at this age.

"All right."

Zhao Jun glared at everyone.

Although it was indeed very embarrassing to be visited by the real owner and laughed at by Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan who knew the inside story.

But after all, he has been in the political arena for many years and has become very thick-skinned.

Now, let alone the fact that Zhao Zhen had found the great films that he had treasured in his notebook, even if Zhao Zhen masturbated in front of him, he would not be embarrassed or out of breath.

He even commented on Zhao Zhen's gestures and the size of Long Di.

Therefore, he shamelessly said to Su Huan: "Well, Su Shi does sound like an ambitious kid. Very good. In that case, I will ask Mr. Lu Xun if he is willing to meet Su Shi."

"Thank you, Zhiyuan."

Although Su Huan did not understand Fan Zhongyan and Yan Shu's reactions, since he had achieved his goal, he tactfully left.

After he left, only the prime ministers remained in the Constitutional Council.

The rest of the clerks who were responsible for organizing documents and drafting imperial edicts were all in the office of the Imperial Edict Bureau on the right side outside the courtyard, so unless they shouted loudly for people outside to come in, they would be the only ones in the room.

Behind the desk, Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan were still laughing. Fu Bi and the others were not fools. Seeing that they were looking at Zhao Jun, they knew that they were laughing at Zhao Jun.

Du Yan smiled and said, "Tell me everything."

"Su Shi is a famous poet. His status in later history is said to be higher than mine."

Yan Shu laughed and clapped his hands on the table and said, "Han Long copied all of Su Shi's poems."

"Copied all of it?"

Zheng Jian was shocked and asked, "How did you copy it?"

"You all know Mr. Lu Xun, right?"

Fan Zhongyan calmed down at this time, and said with a smile: "It is Hanlong's pen name."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

"I didn't expect that Lu Xun was the pen name of the director."

"Great! I remember that in the newspapers, Lu Xun and the Zhiyuan were in sync with each other, but I didn't expect that he was actually talking to himself."

"I heard that there is a chat software in the future called Koukou, which is useless. A person can open two accounts, one big and one small, and communicate with his big and small accounts together, and then perform it for the world to see."

The other prime ministers also laughed and finally understood what was so funny.

Zhao Jun glared at Yan Shu unhappily and said, "Stop laughing. Your son Yan Jidao is 14 years old this year, right?"

"What do you want to do?"

Yan Shu immediately became alert.

Zhao Jun looked up at the ceiling and said, "Mr. Lu Xun has always inspired people all over the world by writing "The Great River Flows East, the Waves Wash Away" in newspapers in a tough-guy style. Maybe he should try the graceful style occasionally."

"you dare!"

Yan Shu glared and said, "Han Long, he is just a child!"

"Hahahaha."

Zhao Jun chuckled and stared at Yan Shu without saying anything.

Yan Shu was frightened by his stare and looked at Zhao Jun.

But now Zhao Jun is no longer the young boy he used to be. After learning from Lu Yijian, his face is thicker than a city wall, and he still stares at Yan Shu.

He doesn't suffer anyway.

really.

Yan Shu was defeated in a short while, coughed twice, and said something else: "Um, cough, Hanlong copied the lyrics to promote the literary reputation of Lu Xun, so that he could write those incisive articles, criticize current affairs and inspire the world.

As he said this, he looked around and said, "I saw that Han Long used Lu Xun as his pen name before, and the evil customs and practices in the Jiangnan area, including the oppression of women and clan members, were very contagious. Many of his articles also satirized many moral corruptions among the people, such as pairing daughters' bones, eating up the extinct families, pawning wives and daughters, worshiping evil cults, etc., which resonated with the people. This made the people hate it and awakened the world. These were the achievements of Lu Xun who first became famous for his poems and later warned the world with his articles. Han Long did nothing wrong in this matter."

"hey-hey."

Zhao Jun chuckled again and looked at the other prime ministers. "Yes, yes, Prime Minister Yan is right."

"Yes, Han Long's move is well-intentioned."

"Lu Xun has become the leading figure in contemporary literature, and his articles are all in the textbooks of the Song Dynasty. From then on, the children's ideas and concepts have been improved, and the impact is not just on one generation."

Everyone looked at their noses, and their noses at their hearts, while talking and focusing on their work.

After more than ten years of nurturing.

Lu Xun, under his pseudonym, has now become the number one figure in the literary world of the Song Dynasty.

Even Ouyang Xiu couldn't compare to him.

Even Ouyang Xiu often wrote articles praising Lu Xun for his profound knowledge and profound perspective on issues, calling him the greatest genius of the time.

Therefore, Lu Xun has many fans among the people.

Some people appreciate his strong style of poetry, such as the song "The Great River Flows Eastward, the Waves Wash Away" sung by a man from Guandong. Others think that he has a thorough understanding of things and has studied their essence, such as those critical articles.

So when Yan Shu used this reason to defend Zhao Jun, they really didn't know what to say.

Soon the little farce was over.

In the morning, Su Xun went to the Ministry of Personnel to report, and in the afternoon he went to the Court of Justice.

This is a three-level institution directly under the Yuan of Political System. The Ministry of Personnel has now become a powerful department, responsible for the transfer of officials throughout the country.

The Court of Examiners was responsible for the examination and selection of middle and lower-level officials.

That is, if the Ministry of Personnel wants to transfer an official, it must evaluate what the official has done while in office.

The Court of Examination was responsible for these matters. It would write the evaluation report and submit it to the Court of Political System. After the Court of Political System confirmed that it was correct, it would be sent to the Ministry of Personnel for transfer, thus completing the entire process of official transfer.

Therefore, the Court of Judicial Review belongs to the type of low-ranking but powerful officials, in charge of the life and death of as many as 50,000 to 60,000 middle and lower-level officials below the fifth rank in the Song Dynasty.

The current chief of the Court of Censors is Wang Anshi.

Given how much Zhao Jun valued Wang Anshi, he should not have limited him to the third-level department.

But you have to know that the prime minister of the Song Dynasty was a first-rank official, while the minister of the first-level department was a second-rank official, and the deputy minister was a second-rank official.

The minister of the second-level department is of the third rank, and the deputy is of the third rank.

The third level is the fourth rank, and the deputy level is the fourth rank.

In other words, the rank of the third-level department is equivalent to that of a transport company.

Before being transferred away by Zhao Jun, Wang Anshi was the prefect of Shezhou. The normal promotion model should have been to become a deputy of the Fifth Department of the Route Army.

Such as Deputy Transport Commissioner, Transport Commissioner's Assistant Commissioner, etc., whose ranks range from fourth rank to fifth rank.

Then he was promoted to the head of one of the five departments, and from a transport envoy of the fourth rank, he was promoted to a deputy position in a second-level central department, and then slowly climbed up to a vice minister in a first-level department, and finally he could become a minister.

Anyone who can work his way up to become the Minister of one of the sixteen first-level departments is basically a rare talent.

For example, Yang Cha and Yang Gao were promoted in this way.

The position of the Judicial Court was very important, so Wang Anshi was naturally assigned to this important department. With his status as the top scholar and two years of traveling around the country with Zhao Jun, he was able to be promoted above his level.

When Wang Anshi heard that Su Xun, who passed the imperial examination in the same year, had arrived, he went to greet him in person.

"Brother Mingyun, long time no see."

"Brother Jiefu, I am so ashamed."

Inside the Court of Judges, the two men clasped their fists to each other.

Su Xun looked Wang Anshi up and down and said with emotion: "Brother Jiefu has achieved success at a young age and is a man of great talent and vigor."

Wang Anshi smiled and said, "Brother Mingyun, thank you for the compliment. Please."

Then he invited Su Xun to the office.

The two men arrived at Wang Anshi's office, greeted each other and sat down, and then asked the clerk to serve tea.

It was only then that Wang Anshi said thoughtfully, "I was very happy to learn that you were coming this morning. But the officialdom is a place that values ​​experience. You have been short of experience at home for the past five years, so it is difficult to arrange for you now."

Su Xun smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay. My brother also prepared me for this yesterday. Even if I have to serve as an official in the Western Regions, I have no regrets."

"Ah."

Wang Anshi nodded and said, "Please wait for a moment, brother. I will report to you and go through the formalities first. You can wait for notification when the time comes. However, according to the habit of the court, they may summon you. Maybe the court will make arrangements by then."

"Thank you very much, Brother Jiefu!"

Su Xun bowed.

It has to be said that Wang Anshi knew Zhao Jun very well and knew that Zhao Jun valued talents.

Although Su Xun did not pass the imperial examination in history, he was still very talented. The articles he wrote were relatively profound and showed great strategic vision.

So Zhao Jun still admired him.

In the morning, Zhao Jun asked Su Huan to call Su Xun over in the afternoon. Wang Anshi didn't know about this, but he could guess it. Naturally, he knew that Zhao Jun would most likely do so, so he was not worried about Tongnian's future.

After reporting to the Court of Review, the entire set of inspection procedures is completed, and the next step is to wait for the hearing. In the past, this time was generally very short, perhaps a few days, and no more than a month at most.

However, the terms of office of officials have been increased and the mobility of officials is not that great, so new officials can only be sent after their term of office ends or something happens during their term of office, such as retirement, arrest, retirement due to illness, or mourning. As a result, the waiting time for transfers has also increased.

However, if there is a top-level instruction from above, that would be another matter.

Soon it was the beginning of the afternoon hour, which was five o'clock in the afternoon, when officials had to get off work. Su Xun received instructions from Su Huan to take Su Shi and Su Zhe to see Zhao Jun.

Su Shun first went back to the family compound to pick up Su Shi and his brothers, and then followed Su Shun to the palace and went all the way to the Constitutional Court.

At this moment, many prime ministers in the Council of Constitution had already gone off work. They had just returned from a meeting with Zhao Zhen in the backyard, so there was no one in the Council of Constitution.

Therefore, Zhao Jun met them in the right wing of the Political Bureau.

Compared with Su Huan, who had been to the Chuigong Hall for the palace examination when he passed the imperial examination, the brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe were entering the palace for the first time.

He walked cautiously along the way, keeping his head down, but his peripheral vision was glancing around, looking around curiously.

Soon they arrived at the Constitutional Court.

Zhao Jun was sitting behind his desk, holding an article in his hand and seemed to be reading it carefully.

Su Huan led Su Xun and the others into the house and bowed to Zhao Jun, saying, "Master."

"This humble official has met the Magistrate."

"The boy has met the dean."

Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Zhe and others also hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Su Shi looked at him secretly and saw that he was a middle-aged man about forty years old, with a handsome face and an upright figure.

Unlike ordinary people in the Song Dynasty, he did not have long hair, but simple short hair, with slightly graying temples. He wore a Zhongshan suit, and his whole body revealed a refined temperament.

"No gift!"

Zhao Jun waved his hand, signaling them to get up.

"Xie Zhiyuan."

Everyone stood up.

"Sit down and talk."

"Xie Zhiyuan."

Everyone sat down again.

While everyone was sitting down, Zhao Jun also looked at the Su brothers.

He recognized who was Su Shi and who was Su Zhe at a glance.

Although Su Shi was sitting next to Su Xun, from the appearance, Su Shi was two years older than Su Zhe, taller, and looked older.

At 14, Su Zhe looked like a middle school student, while Su Shi looked like a high school student. The two brothers had not grown up yet, but they looked quite handsome.

They are two sunny and cheerful young men.
