People in the Song Dynasty were lawless

Chapter 68 There were so many people outside just now, it was my fault (eighth update)
Insulting officials is something worse than a beast?

Everyone's expressions became extremely embarrassed, and Zhao Zhen's entire face was almost distorted.

But when they saw that Zhao Jun was very excited at this time, they almost jumped up and pointed at Zhao Zhen's head and cursed. For a while, no one dared to stop.

The main reason is that he has been with Zhao Jun day and night for three months, and everyone has figured out his temperament.

Young and energetic.

It's easy to fall for someone who flatters you a little bit.

But it is precisely because he is young and energetic that his personality is a bit strong and impulsive.

If the measures taken against him are too tough at this time, and the more pressure is put on him, the more he will fight, and in the end he will simply commit suicide, then both sides will suffer losses, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

Everyone present, including Fan Zhongyan, has been in the officialdom for many years. They are not stupid young people, so they can naturally think of this.

Therefore, they did not dare to persuade or refute for a while, nor did they dare to help the officials maintain the dignity of the Song Dynasty.

He was afraid that Zhao Jun would get excited and hit the pillar.

However, what they didn't know was that after Zhao Jun finished scolding him, he actually felt a little weak at this time.After all, people are still afraid of death. Even if they have the intention to die, it is always better to live.

But Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian and the others pushed themselves too far, so they couldn't blame him. Anyway, they had already died once, and the worst they could do was die again.

The main reason is that he is often angry at the Song Dynasty. Since his family is a direct descendant of Song and Zhao, there is a serious Song and Zhao genealogy in the village, and he naturally knows the bad things done by those brainless ancestors.

So in a state of excitement, he scolded Zhao Zhen and the others bloody, and it was said that they didn't give any face at all.

But that's all what they asked for.

Although Zhao Jun felt a little guilty, he still maintained an angry mood on his face, staring at Zhao Zhen, seemingly refusing to give in!

Time passed by, and just when Yan Shu was about to persuade Zhao Jun, Zhao Zhen slammed the table and said: "You bastard!"

"Wang Shouzhong!"

"The servant is here."

Wang Shouzhong walked in hurriedly.

Zhao Zhen shouted: "Drag Zhao Jun to the Silkworm Palace, with fifty heavy sticks!"

"Official!"

Lu Yi, Jian Yanshu and others were all shocked.

Heavy stick fifty is not as simple as just hitting fifty sticks.

Those with better physical fitness can survive it, but their skin and flesh will be torn and even their bones will be broken.

If you are not in good health, you may die.

However, Zhao Zhen refused to listen to the advice at all and shouted: "It goes without saying, I must teach this unworthy descendant a lesson today!"

"Just hit me. It's your fault if you beat me to death. You deserve to be nailed to the pillar of shame!"

Zhao Jun still stiffened his neck and was pulled away by the guards, like a warrior ready to die.

After he was pulled away, everyone quickly came up to persuade Zhao Zhen.

"Guan Jia, Zhao Jun's matter is serious. Although he is arrogant, he can still eliminate the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty. I hope Guan Jia will think twice."

"Yes, the official family. Now that the Song Dynasty is in turmoil, we need Zhao Jun. We must not destroy the city wall."

"If the officials don't want to give in, they should give Zhao Jun some good advice. Zhao Jun is a person who accepts the soft rather than the hard, so why should the officials fight with him until both sides suffer?"

Everyone was talking to each other, but Zhao Zhen was not moved at all and just sneered.

After they all finished speaking, Zhao Zhen said indifferently: "You don't need to persuade me anymore. Zhao Jun is a wild and unruly person. If we can't teach him a lesson, what dignity will my ancestor have?"

Now Yan Shu was anxious.

You must know that he still owed Zhao Jun a favor, so he quickly knelt on the ground and begged Zhao Zhen: "Guan family, for the sake of Zhao Jun's innocence, please spare his life."

Fan Zhongyan also knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Zhen: "Officials, although I don't agree with Zhao Jun's statement, he is indeed of great use to the country. For the sake of the great Song Dynasty, please be kind to the officials."

Lu Yijian and others looked at each other and said nothing.After all, Yan Shu owed Zhao Jun a huge favor, and Fan Zhongyan needed Zhao Jun to help him reform.

Firstly, Lu Yijian and others may have a conflict of position with Zhao Jun, and secondly, Zhao Zhen is angry now and may not be able to listen to advice.

But at this moment, Zhao Jun had been taken away, and the guards took him to the Qinsi Palace next door. A moment later, screams were heard, and the shrill screams echoed in the air, making everyone feel frightened.

Zhao Zhen still didn't speak, and Yan Shu said anxiously: "Guan family, do you really want to kill Zhao Jun? If it weren't for Zhao Jun, I would be in trouble in the Song Dynasty."

"No need to say more."

Zhao Zhen flicked his sleeves and said, "You just wait here for now. I'll go and see if the unscrupulous descendant still talks hard. If he is beaten into submission, I will let him live."

After saying that, he turned around and left the Guanjia Hall with his head held high, leaving everyone looking at each other in the hall, but they did not dare to catch up rashly.

Because the Guanjia Hall is now blocked and surrounded by guards, they are not allowed to enter or exit.

Obviously Zhao Zhen was afraid that they would chase him out and continue to plead for Zhao Jun.

But what everyone doesn't know is.

In the Qingsi Palace next to the cell phone that was turned off at this moment, Zhao Jun was respectfully pulled to a chair by Wang Shouzhong and was looking at the scene happening in front of him with a strange look on his face.

I saw several palace guards holding down another palace guard, and hitting him with big sticks. The man actually had something on his buttocks, but he was beaten until he screamed in agony.

Precisely because it was a real beating, the screams sounded quite similar, and the sounds were genuine.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhao Jun would have thought that everyone was about to be beaten to death.

After a while, Zhao Zhen walked in. When he saw this scene, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, go ahead."

"Yes, official."

Several guards stopped, and the one on the ground quickly got up, completely fine.

It turns out that this man was a gangster before he joined the army, and he was already good at making noises and rolling around on the street. His colleagues looked heavy-handed, but in fact they were much lighter on the butt, so this scene is basically [-]% acting and [-]% real.

Zhao Jun was dumbfounded.

There were no such people in this year's Oscars, and he didn't even attend the Oscars. Compared with them, his acting skills just now were really not up to par.

"Let's all go out."

Zhao Zhen looked at the other guards in the palace, waved his hand and said: "Everyone, go out and close the palace door so that only I and Zhao Jun are here."

"Yes." Wang Shouzhong responded and urged the guards to leave.

Soon, the Qincan Palace was empty. The door of the main hall was slowly closed, blocking out the sunlight that originally shone in. The entire room became much darker.

The candles in the room had long been blown out, and only the windows on both sides let in light.But the main hall was so big that even the center was dark. When Zhao Jun saw Zhao Zhen's face, there was a mixture of light and dark, and it was uncertain.

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Jun looked at Zhao Zhen with a wary look. This guy secretly asked someone to bring him to the Silkworm Palace. Could it be that he wanted to intimidate and lure him?
Are you kidding me? I am not afraid of death, but am I afraid of you?

However, it was seen that Zhao Zhen did not speak at first, but kept looking at Zhao Jun, his face seemed to be hesitating.

Zhao Jun was furious at being stared at, but he couldn't lose his momentum, so he stared back.

Seeing Zhao Jun staring at him, all Zhao Zhen's final hesitation turned into a long sigh, walked up to Zhao Jun, and said softly: "Zhao Jun."

"Ok?"

"Are you really not willing to say something nice?"

"I'm just stating the facts."

"But I am also an emperor. If you insult me, the Song Dynasty and the ancestors like this, where is the emperor's face? Where is the majesty of Zhao Song?"

"Sometimes, face is not given by others, but earned by oneself."

Zhao Jun looked at him seriously and continued to strike: "Gou Jian was willing to taste excrement in order to restore his country. In order to revive the Tang Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong and Li Chen pretended to be a fool for more than 30 years, and even escaped with their bodies covered in excrement."

"Most people look at the process and results. If Gou Jian and Li Chen fail, they are also tragic heroes, which does not affect their evaluation at all."

"And Zhao Song's majesty had already been wiped out when Jingkang was humiliated, because whether it was the process or the result, Zhao Song was not as full of fighting spirit and passionate spirit as Gou Jian and Li Chen. This is Zhao Song The reason why it is called the Eunuch Dynasty by later generations!"

"If you want to be respected, you can't just come to me to discuss with me and say that I respect you, but you should do the facts, work hard, inspire and strengthen the Song Dynasty, let the Song Dynasty get rid of its shame, and stand on top of the world. .”

"In this way, because of your achievements, even the scandals that Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Heng have done may be overshadowed because your personal glory is too strong."

"Just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did many wrong things in his later years, which almost led to the destruction of the country, but because of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, everyone forgot about the dimness of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years, and only remembered his talents and strategies!"

"So for many things, you must not ask for anything, or you will not get it. Strength is the foundation. If you have strength, even if you slap Yelu Zongzhen and Li Yuanhao on the right cheek, they will only show the other cheek. Please don't destroy them. country. Without strength, even if you kneel in front of them, you are nothing!"

Zhao Jun finished with another impassioned speech, leaving Zhao Zhen silent for a long time.

The expression on his face was actually a bit dazed.

I don't know what he was thinking.

Maybe he really thought of that day, and thought of the scene where the Song Dynasty prospered and stood on top of the world with Zhao Jun's help.

After a while, he suddenly lowered his head and said, "Jun."

"what happened again?"

"I admit that I spoke a bit too loudly before. There were a lot of people outside just now. It was my fault, and I will apologize to you."

As he spoke, he actually bent down and raised his hands to salute Zhao Jun.

This scene was so frightening that Zhao Jun jumped up from his chair, stopped him quickly and said: "Forget it, forget it, you are an ancestor, if you salute me, I will be struck by lightning."

"What you said is right. If you make a mistake, you should admit it. If you don't even have this courage, how can I be the king of a country?"

Zhao Zhen still maintained his saluting posture and said with emotion: "Everyone in future generations will know this truth, but I never understood it. This is my fault. You must accept my apology."

"Okay, okay, I accept it."

Zhao Jun is a typical person who takes advantage of the soft and refuses to take the hard. Seeing that Zhao Zhen could put down his imperial arrogance and apologize to himself, he softened his heart at that time and pulled him up and said: "That's what I said, who told you to do something wrong and still refuse to accept it? As long as you correct your mistakes, you will still be my good ancestors."

Zhao Zhen thought something was wrong, so he immediately said: "So, are you willing to stay and help me, to strengthen the Song Dynasty and the country for me?"

Good guy.

Zhao Jun was not stupid and understood immediately.

Zhao Zhen, this guy, sees that he can't be tough, so he tries to be soft, so he resorts to a trick of bitterness, and it's okay to play the emotional card.

But he himself has already thought clearly that since he can't go back now, he can only stay.

And if you want to live a better life after staying, you must naturally adopt a cooperative attitude.

Now that Zhao Zhen has lowered his attitude and stepped down, he definitely can't continue to be so hard, otherwise both sides will be at odds and neither will look good.

So Zhao Jun pretended to be convinced and sighed: "To be honest, you are the first "Renzong" in the history. Otherwise, if it were Zhao Ji and Zhao Gou, I would definitely jump up and down, let alone agree. Blow their heads off with a hammer."

"So you agreed?"

"I agreed, but I asked for three chapters of agreement!"

"You said."

Zhao Zhen was secretly happy that his plan was successful.

Zhao Jun said: "I have been telling you for so many days, and you also know the situation of the Song Dynasty. If you want to be strong, in addition to improving productivity and making the cake bigger, it is also important to carry out internal rectification."

"Reform is not a treat, but will touch the interests of many people, so there may be bloodshed and people may be killed. These things cannot be separated from your firm support."

"I am willing to agree to you because I am a descendant of the Zhao family, and I do not want the Song Dynasty to be wiped out by foreigners, ruled by barbarians, and turn the Han people into groveling slaves. But you have misdeeds in history, so I have to make it clear to you."

"In a company, trust between partners is very important. If you can't unconditionally trust me and believe what I say, then everyone will just break up."

"But I can assure you that I'm not going to make drastic policy changes right away."

"Instead, we will conduct in-depth investigation and research to discover what problems the Song Dynasty has and then make corrections. After all, I also said that if the direction is wrong, it will be a big mistake."

"After that, I will carefully think about the direction of reform in the future, make a comprehensive plan, and seek your and their opinions before implementing it. What do you think?"

These words are also Zhao Jun’s sincerity.

Because when he was blind, he mostly got drunk, but when he regained his sight and found out that he was really in the Song Dynasty, he had to recognize the reality clearly and understand that many things are easier to get drunk than done.

For example, the Song Dynasty is currently experiencing internal and external troubles, Xixia and Liao are eyeing it, and domestic uprisings are still ongoing. If we carry out reforms now, like Fan Zhongyan, and lay off a large number of officials, causing the domestic situation to become more turbulent, it is no different from committing suicide.

Therefore, he clearly realized that many things must be planned slowly and cannot be done in one step.Figure out all the problems first, and then solve them step by step.

This is the five-step working method of "discovering problems, raising problems, analyzing problems, solving problems, and summarizing problems". At the same time, it is also what great people often say, deal with the main contradictions first, and then resolve the secondary contradictions.
