Chapter 42 Don't want such an army! (Aw, the second chapter is here!)

Just as the Zhengshi Hall was arguing, Zheng Da from the palace used it to the Zhengshi Hall.

The prime ministers were not allowed to participate in the matters, but Zheng Dayong was a person around the emperor after all, and came with the emperor's opinions. The minister of the Political Affairs Hall did not dare to be entrusted and quickly stopped receiving the meeting.

"Are you all good friends?"

Zheng Dayong said with a smile.

Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work in Zheng Daban. It's cold outside, so you have to go there."

Zheng Dayong smiled and said, "Being burdened with the emperor, there is no hard work or not. It's because all my husbands are busy with state affairs, so it's hard work."

Wen Yanbo was impatient and chatted, and smiled and said, "What edicts does the official family have?"

Zheng Dayong smiled and said seriously: "Your Majesty has no edict, but just ordered me to come and ask you all, can the position of the central bank president be determined?"

Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi exchanged a look, and Fu Bi nodded.

Wen Yanbo said: "Please tell Your Majesty that this matter is very important and the final candidate has not been determined yet."

Zheng Daban nodded: "The official said that if the candidate has not been confirmed, Ouyang Bian can be considered at his discretion."

Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "Ouyang Bian is also the one that the Political Affairs Hall focuses on, but he still has to ask for his own opinions."

Zheng Dayong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to ask. Your Majesty has asked Ouyang Bian, and Ouyang Bian has agreed."

"What?" Fu Bi said in surprise.

Wen Yanbo looked at Fu Bi, and Wu Kui nodded with Wen Yanbo. Fu Bi gritted his teeth and refused to speak.

Wen Yanbo nodded: "Then please ask Zheng Daban to tell His Majesty that if Ouyang Bian agrees, the Political Affairs Hall will have no objection."

Zheng Dayong nodded with a smile: "Then I will go back to report to the official family. Please be busy with your husband."

After Zheng Dayong left, Fu Bi sat down and drank tea angrily.

Wen Yanbo and Wu Kui smiled bitterly and looked at each other.

Before it was time to get off work, Fu Bi left first.

...

Ouyang Bian has nothing to do in Sanshi, and he usually doesn’t work overtime. It is his limit to being able to sit from morning to get off work.

Workers are determined not to work overtime!

As soon as he stepped into the house, Lu Caiwei ran over nervously and said, "Silang, Fu Gong is here."

Ouyang Bian's face showed a look of surprise. This old man Fu Bi was very cold. Why did he suddenly run over today?

Ouyang Bian whispered: "He didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

Lu Caiwei's face turned red: "What's the matter with my husband's embarrassment on me, a little woman?"

Ouyang Bian laughed and walked in with big strides.

Fu Bigao was the first, without any awareness of a guest. When he saw Ouyang Bian coming in, he snorted coldly.

Ouyang Bian didn't care, so he waved his sleeves to Fu Bi to give a big gift: "My father-in-law came to the humble house, and the bushes shone brightly, and the son-in-law was grateful!"

Fu Bi glanced at Ouyang Bian and said, "Who was that girl just now?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Why did my father-in-law pretend to be stupid? That's Lu Caiwei."

Fu Bi said angrily: "Young girl hasn't entered the door yet, you have taken a concubine!"

Fu Bi was angry and the prime minister was in a state of anger. If it were ordinary people, they would have looked like a slight look in the battle, but Ouyang Bian smiled indifferently: "My father-in-law, what's wrong to make you so angry? Just say it, we are not an outsider."

Fu Bi's face disappeared immediately.

He was angry and funny, and pointed at Ouyang Bian with a little regret, and sighed: "You, you have a sharp eye and a bravery, but this is a confusing thing!"

This matter is naturally not about Lu Caiwei. Ouyang Bian doesn't care about this matter, and Fu Bi naturally doesn't care about it either.

People in the officialdom are just a trivial matters about taking concubines or not. As long as they don’t marry a wife and regret the marriage, other trivial matters are trivial matters.

Fu Bi couldn't be angry with Ouyang Bian for this. This is the reality of this era, and even the rich lady would not regard Lu Caiwei as a threat.

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Did my father-in-law say I am willing to take over as the position of governor of the central bank?"

Fu Bi glared: "You know that this is wrong?...I said Uncle Yong is the same, so why don't you care about this!"

Ouyang Bian smiled, sat down on his head, and shouted, "Here's someone coming."

The elusive butler immediately came out from one side: "Silang."

Ouyang Bian nodded: "Prepare the banquet, my father-in-law and I have a good drink later..."

He was about to say a drink, but remembering that he was still young and should not drink alcohol, he quickly changed his words and said, "...My father-in-law has a good drink later."

Fu Bi snorted: "There is no shortage of this meal."

Ouyang Bian smiled and said with a smile: "That's that's that."

Then he turned to the butler and said, "Go and prepare quickly."

Fu Bi's face calmed down slightly when he reached out and didn't hit the smiling person.

Ouyang Bian said: "Brother-in-law, you are an old minister of Qingli. Can you tell me about the incident at that time?"

Fu Bi looked at Ouyang Bian in surprise: "It's all old things, why do you mention that?"

Ouyang Bian looked at Fu Bi's eyes and said, "Actually, I just want to know why you guys wanted to change at that time."

Fu Bi shook his head and said, "What else can the country be weak? The battle with Xixia was defeated in Sanchuankou and Yanzhou City was besieged;

The following year, Li Yuanhao entered Weizhou, and Han Zhigui sent the deputy chief of Huanqing Road to deploy Ren Fu to lead his troops to attack. Yu Haoshuichuan was surrounded when he was in trouble. Ren Fu and other 16 generals were killed, leaving more than 10,000 troops.

In the second year of Qingli, Li Yuanhao divided his troops and attacked Song again. He arrived in Dingchuan Village. When the Song Dynasty was in battle, the Song army was defeated. General Ge Huaimin and his generals and 16 others were killed in battle.

After Li Yuanhao won, he rushed south and advanced to Pan Yuan, and Guanzhong was shocked.

Before the dispute between Song and Xia ended, the Khitan also came to the door and sent envoys to seek the Guannan area and gathered troops to Youyan, claiming to go south, and later the compensation was resolved.

In this case, it won’t work until it’s not changed!”

Ouyang Bian nodded: "My father-in-law thinks, why is our Song Dynasty so weak?"

Fu Bi shook his head bitterly.

Ouyang Bian smiled. It was not that Fu Bi didn't know, but that he was unwilling to say it.

The feeling of civil servants is very complicated. As vested interests in respect of civil and military affairs, on the one hand, they know that the result of respecting civil and military affairs is that the country's military is weak, but on the other hand, they cannot betray their own class.

To change the military weakness, we must improve the status of military generals and soldiers, which is something that the civil servants are unwilling to do.

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Everyone knows the root problem, but he is just unwilling to change it, but he can find another way, at least temporarily alleviate it."

Fu Bi's heart moved: "Is it what you proposed to develop the economy?"

Ouyang Bian nodded: "When you have money, are you still afraid that there will be no army that is good at fighting?"

Fu Bi frowned and said, "But the army has never lost money."

Ouyang Bian shook his head: "Those troops have been stolen long ago. It's better not to have them. If you have money, set up another one."

Fu Bi was shocked: "What are you talking nonsense!"

If this is spread, Ouyang Bian will immediately become a thorn in the army's side.

Although the Song Dynasty's military was not as good as civil war, foreign wars were not as good as foreign wars, it seemed that they had no status, but their influence on the cause was quite large, at least the officials were afraid of it.

If Ouyang Bian's words were spread, I'm afraid even Zhao Zhen would not be able to protect Ouyang Bian.

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "The father-in-law won't spread, right?"

Fu Bi said angrily: "Who do you treat me like?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Then there is no problem. If my father-in-law doesn't say it, I will not admit that others say this."
