Sure enough, Su Chen knew that if he asked Han Xizai this time, he would definitely take the opportunity to make some requests, and even drag him into the Sun Party camp. On the way here, he was ready in his heart.

Because before that, he realized that Han Xizai showed a strong sense of cherishing talent to him. He valued him so much was simply to include them in their camp and use them for his own purposes to help him achieve some political goals, despite this goal,

It may be just, grand, and for the country and the people!

Originally, Su Chen did not intend to enter the party struggles of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He just wanted to be a rich man, make a fortune, and become the richest man in the Southern Tang Dynasty. He could be rich in the world.

However, the Southern Tang Dynasty had only ten years of national destiny, and in a few years it would face the embarrassment of the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, the merchants' money would be cut off from the leeks, and the court tried every means and reasons to squeeze them out little by little.

Supports fragile national defense and army, maintains quagmire expenses.

Moreover, when the Song army invaded Runzhou City and Jinling City, many local wealthy families, gentry and tycoons were killed by the rioters. Although the historical books were just a brief description, they were full of blood and misery. Every time the city was broken,

All of them were killed in the chaos of tens of thousands of people and would rob the rich and noble gentry houses.

In this era, pure merchants have a low status and are looked down upon by the world, which is more dangerous. The rioters robbed and burned and killed them unscrupulously, because no one stood out for these local merchants afterwards, and military generals also accused of this matter.

However, the residences of wise ministers in the city and those with wise courts and those with famous and talented people in the city will not be harassed and protected.

It is precisely because of this that Su Chen is unwilling to be just a rich man.

Even if he intends to be rich in the world, he will still be behind the scenes, make money secretly, become an invisible rich man, and not stand on the surface, and become a fat sheep that everyone is targeting.

Participating in the imperial examination and entering the court became a goal that he had to achieve.

Through the imperial examinations, he entered the Shilin and became a three-level Jinshi in the Southern Tang Dynasty. With his talent and court position, this is his identity to protect himself in the future. Even if he goes to the Northern Song Dynasty in the future, he will be regarded as a talent and will not be reused as a position, as long as he can

Just protect your own life and protect his family and wealth.

"I wonder what Old Han needs to do for the younger generation?" Su Chen returned to his calmness and asked curiously.

Han Xizai looked at Su Chen with a look of his eyes, smiled slightly, and asked, "How much do you know about the officials in our Jinling City Palace?"

The eternal Emperor of Ci Li Yu?

Su Chen was stunned. Speaking of Li Yu, he was definitely a controversial figure. He had certain achievements in calligraphy, painting, music, and poetry, especially his achievements in ci. His ci inherited Wen Tingyun since the late Tang Dynasty.

The tradition of Huajian School poets such as Wei Zhuang was also influenced by Li Jing, Feng Yansi and others. They had a bright language, sincere emotions, distinct styles, and beautiful words.

Especially after the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the lyrics were even more extensive, with profound meaning and sad atmosphere. They were unique among the lyrics of the late Tang and Five Dynasties and had a profound influence on the later lyrics.

But Li Yu is definitely at a failed level as an emperor!

Su Chen felt that since he wanted to participate in the imperial examination and had the intention of a career, he should not slander the monarch who would work and serve in the future. Therefore, he said politely: "I have never seen the officials of the Tang Dynasty today, so it is difficult to make a fair evaluation.

Please help Mr. Han solve his doubts for the younger generation!”

Han Xizai didn't think about it, thinking that Su Chen's answer was consistent with common sense, so he personally explained: "Our official family has a kind personality and does not have a random idea of ​​killing, and can listen to advice. This is a good thing. But, it is precisely because

This personality also caused him to be indecisive, loyal and slanderful, ignorant, unknown, improper employing people, and lack the ambition to reform, even if he protects the territory and the country, he is not qualified."

After hearing this, Su Chen looked at Han Xizai with his eyes, and he quite agreed with his views, so he did not have any surprise expression.

Seeing his normal face and indifferent look, Han Xizai couldn't help asking: "Aren't you surprised that I have talked about these shortcomings of the government?"

"Why are you surprised? I have never seen it before and are not familiar with it. It must be what Mr. Han said, what I believe, and there is no objection!" Su Chen blinked his eyes innocently, and his answer was also very innocent.

"That's right!" Han Xizai nodded slightly, without much care, and continued: "Three years ago, Empress Dowager Du, Song Zhaoxian, passed away. He was Zhao Kuangyin's biological mother. Our official family sent me and Taifu Minister Tian Lin to pay tribute to the Northern Dynasties.

I only had contact with Zhao Kuangyin two or three times, but through my words and deeds, I realized that Zhao Kuangyin was not easy to deal with. He was talented and ambitious, and would definitely send troops to attack the Tang Kingdom in Jiangnan in the future. Moreover, there were many military generals from the north and were full of talents.

, Sufficient materials and strong soldiers. After losing the thirteen states of the Jiangnan region, we had no place to make salt. The finances became increasingly difficult, and the other was growing and the other was even more incapable of fighting against the Song State. It was possible that we were eliminated by Song in the future.

”

Su Chen nodded slightly, feeling that Han Xizai had a very accurate look at Zhao Kuangyin and had a clear understanding of the gap between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"Are you not surprised?" Han Xizai was so surprised that he could be so calm when he heard the remarks of the country that he lost.

Su Chen gritted his teeth and said, "This is just Mr. Han's speculation. He listened carefully and made an analysis in his heart. However, I don't know much about the political situation of Song and Tang, so I am more accepting this kind of opinion.

What's more, a real man can be brave enough to have a courageous person if he wants to hold a mountain to the top without changing his color. If the younger generation panics when he hears a comment, then what big thing can he do."

After hearing Su Chen's words, Han Xizai suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, it makes sense. I really appreciate you, the younger generation, more and more."

Su Chen passed by perfunctorily, and even admired his urgent wisdom.

"Old Han, what does this have to do with what you asked me to do? I will never let myself turn the tide and fight against the strong Song in the north with my own strength. I can't do it!"

Su Chen was a little confused when he heard this. Han Xizai took a big turn and talked about the strength of the two countries, the gap between the kings, and these state affairs were not something he could intervene.

"There is one thing that you need to help!"

Su Chen frowned and asked, "Oh, what's the matter?"

Han Xizai stood up long, stared at Su Chen, and said gently, "There is a queen in the official family, whose boudoir is Ehuang, who is the eldest daughter of Situ Zhouzong. When he was nineteen years old, he entered the palace as a concubine. He was deeply favored by the official family.

The family has a deep relationship. However, since last year, the queen fell ill. According to news from the palace, the queen has become thinner and thinner, and even the imperial doctors in the palace are helpless. The disease is quite difficult. If this condition continues, it may not be delayed for half a year. Therefore,

, I wanted to wait for a while, but when the time was right, I highly recommend it to the official and announce that you go to the Jinling Palace to cure the queen's illness. You must be cured. Can you do it?"

"Treat the Queen?" Su Chen finally changed his face when he heard this!

Han Xizai mentioned Li Yu's many shortcomings and predicted that Song would destroy Tang in the future, but he was not surprised at all! Because the history books recorded it like that, he was very familiar with the historical development trajectory, so he was not surprised. However, when Han Xizai said it

After asking him to treat the disease in the Great Zhou Dynasty and to save the cure, Su Chen was completely surprised.

This incident exceeded Su Chen's expectations, and it was a violation of historical records!
