After the dispersal of the court the next morning, Su Jin felt the need to visit Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi Fubi and others, although there seemed to be a mustard between them, but the mustard was not caused by himself, and Su Jin would not be indifferent to those celebrities because they were not salty or indifferent to themselves, these people all had the grace of helping each other.

The Privy Council is directly in front of the Wende Palace, which belongs to the front garden of the palace, although Su Jin has been to the palace many times, but he has never been here, because Du Yan, Xia Zhu and others have always controlled the Privy Council, and Su Jin has not had the opportunity to stay here.

However, the Privy Council was not a tall yamen, it looked like an ordinary house, with a total of three halls and seventeen rooms, with a lobby similar to the yamen in the front, office areas for each room in the middle, and the office offices of the privy envoy and the privy deputy in the back, as well as a treasury for various documents and files.

When Su Jin stepped into the door of the Privy Council, he was immediately recognized by the scribes in the front lobby, and now in the Great Song Dynasty, Su Jin is also a famous figure, Su Jin, the champion of both civil and military affairs, a rising star in the political arena, naturally became the best talking point in the leisure time of the major yamen officials.

Seeing Su Jin, a small official hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and Su Jin also asked with a smile: "How many privy councillors are in the yamen?" ”

The little official said: "Du Shumio has just gone out to inspect the Ordnance Department to supervise the manufacture of weapons and armor, and a few deputy privy councillors are going into the public house to discuss matters." ”

Su Jinxin said: The current Du Yan can be regarded as a lonely hand, and the Privy Council doesn't even take him to play with the deliberations, no need to ask, Fan Zhongyan and others must be discussing the matter of changing the law, and Du Yan can't play either.

The little official led the way, took Su Jin into the courtyard, and asked Su Jin to stand in the courtyard for a while, and went to report by himself, Su Jin stood by the flower bed and watched the gorgeous peony flowers of a tree, and heard the laughter of several people in the room, among which Han Qi's laughter was the most bold, but suddenly the laughter stopped abruptly.

"What is he here for? You go and ask him to leave, and you say I'm not available. Han Qi's voice came.

"Han Shuai doesn't want to be like this, he doesn't have to look at each other if he doesn't have the same way, wouldn't it be ungraceful to do so." Fan Zhongyan's quiet voice sounded.

Fu Bi also said: "Yes, Su Jin is also a capable official, and he has not opposed the change, besides, it was he who took the lead in proposing the ten disadvantages, and many of our articles still refer to his suggestions." ”

Han Qi said coldly: "So what? Just say that you don't practice fake tricks, who wouldn't? It's the most important thing to really do it, I, Han Qi, don't like people who talk empty words, that's what I have. ”

Fan Zhongyan laughed, said something in a low voice, and after a while, the little official bowed down and went out, walked up to Su Jin and said, "A few privy councillors invite Master Su in." ”

Su Jin bowed his head and said, "Thank you." With that, he walked up the corridor to the door.

The door was open, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and Fubi sat on the edge of a table, looking at the door, seeing Su Jin appear, Fan Zhongyan and Fubi all got up to greet each other, while Han Qi sat still with a dark face.

"I'm bothering a few adults, Su Jin came to visit." Su Jin bowed his hand and saluted.

Fan Zhongyan said with a smile: "Rare guests, Lord Su has come all the way back to Beijing, and he was going to visit in person, but he was delayed due to a lot of affairs, but he asked Lord Su to come first, I'm sorry." ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "How dare you, several adults have a lot of affairs at hand, if I don't have to get up and go back to Qinzhou in the afternoon, I won't come to bother at this time, this trip is to meet you, and you are to resign." ”

Fan Zhongyan sighed and said, "Leave so soon? What about the Northwest? ”

Su Jin said: "It's quite stable, and we are currently working hard to build seven or eight walled forts in the north of Weizhou, and the spring planting is nearing the end, and there are still a few ditches that have not yet been completed, and I will go back to urge them to complete it, so as not to delay the irrigation of rice." ”

Fan Zhongyan sighed: "Sure enough, he is a person who does practical things, there is Master Su in the northwest, and he will recover his vitality in the near future, the emperor transferred you to the northwest It is a good move, Su Daren can be peaceful and diligent in government, and martial arts can deter the western thieves, it is really a rare pillar of my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "No, a few people are the ones who do big things, I can't do big things, I can only do the chores at hand." ”

Fu Bi's expression was complicated, and he pointed to a chair and said, "Lord Su, please take a seat, I will order someone to watch the tea." ”

Su Jin thanked him and sat on the chair, which was facing Han Qi, looking at Han Qi's stinky face, Su Jin was slightly embarrassed.

"How is Lord Sanji? Lord Su is going to visit, right? Lord Sanji will go to court in the third day. Fu Bi asked apologetically.

Su Jin said: "I've been there, and it's true that there is a little illness, but it's fine." ”

"Did Lord Sanji scold me?" Fu Bi Road.

Su Jin said with a smile: "Naturally, there are complaints, although the political views are different, but after all, he is the father-in-law of the rich brother, no matter when the etiquette of the gang is still observed, the rich brother should also visit him." ”

Fu Bi frowned and said: "I don't know about the etiquette of Gangchang, I went to the house a few times and was scolded by him to go out, and the gifts brought by Tuo Yangcha were all thrown on the street by him, and Lord Sansi's temper is very strong." ”

Su Jin smiled and said, "When the mind arrives, what Lord Sansi does is his business." ”

Fu Bi nodded and said, "That's what I said......"

Han Qi interjected coldly: "It turns out that Master Su, who is wise and self-protecting, is here to teach others, how can I be so free to come." ”

Su Jin arched his hand and said: "How dare you, Han Shuai misunderstood, the rich brother only said a few words when he mentioned me, I did come to meet a few adults, Su Jin was deeply inspired by several adults, and he has always regarded several adults as teachers in his heart. ”

Han Qi said: "Don't dare to be it, Lord Su now also knows how to cultivate obscurity, the court is such a big event, please don't move, what do you say about treating us as teachers?" ”

Su Jin frowned and said: "Han Shuai, I have made a stand on the matter of change, and Su Jin admires several adults for the heart of the country and the people, but I really don't approve of such a radical approach, I want to advise a few adults again, the matter of changing the law must not be too radical, it must be done slowly, it is too radical, and the backlash is even worse; Su Jin is not a wise person to protect himself, Han Shuai can go to investigate my Su Jin's past trip, I have only one principle of action, no matter how difficult and dangerous it is to do what must be done, but never do what I know cannot be done, in my opinion, it is unwise. ”

Han Qi changed color and said, "You mean to say that it is unwise for us to painstakingly seek strategies for the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Su Jin said: "It's really good to think about the Great Song Dynasty, but it also depends on when and what the situation is, the most urgent thing for me in the Great Song Dynasty now is to recuperate, several years of war, several famines, and the people are extremely poor; Although it is necessary to change the law, it needs to be done slowly, and if we blindly move forward, it may cause the government and the opposition to shake and feel uneasy. ”

Han Qi sneered: "How do I think when I hear this, what a timid old master said, you are a teenager, and you are so angry that you are not as bold as a person like me and Fan Shuai who knows the destiny of heaven at such an age; Knowing that there are many drawbacks, how can you sit idly by? I misread you. ”

Su Jin said softly: "I didn't see me wrong, I will know in the future; Everyone has their own ideas, and that's all I can say. ”

Han Qi laughed and said: "This is the so-called Tao is not the same, even so, Lord Su doesn't need to give any advice, I don't need your advice." ”

Su Jin smiled bitterly: "Okay, I'll just shut up." ”

The conversation between the two was full of gunpowder, and Fan Zhongyan didn't want to see such a situation, so he explained with a smile: "The two of them are resting, they are both arguing about state affairs, and there is nothing right or wrong; But Master Su, the old man has to say that you did miss this good show, the emperor is determined to change the law, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it is when I and other courtiers show their skills, and it will not be a big thing to look forward and look back. ”

Su Jin was silent, Fan Zhongyan picked up a few pieces of paper from the case and sent them to Su Jin and said, "Lord Su, you can take a look at the provisions of the law change we have drafted, and this article will be publicized and implemented in the world in the near future; Many of these are similar to your arguments; The old man knows that you actually want to change the shortcomings of the court in your heart, don't you want to see what you want in your heart come true? ”

Su Jin looked at the neat and dense terms of the law change, and his heart was mixed, the matter of changing the law was already on the line, and at this time, no matter how much he persuaded him, it was useless, the matter had reached the point of being on the verge of a kick, but Su Jin understood that the real counterattack was coming, and Su Jin could only remind him one last time.

Su Jin got up and arched his hand: "Several adults are busy with affairs, and Su Jin is inconvenient to bother too much, so I will leave; Fan Shuai, Han Shuai, rich brother, changing the law is a good thing, but as the old saying goes: Blessings and misfortunes are lurking, a few people should take care of themselves, think twice about acting, and at the same time beware of the villain's hidden arrows, once this clause is implemented, it will offend a large group of people, several adults must be psychologically prepared, pay more attention to the emperor's words and deeds, and stop in moderation. ”

Fan Zhongyan smiled and said, "Thank you Master Su for reminding me." ”

Su Jin could hear Fan Zhongyan's perfunctory meaning, got up and said goodbye, and Han Qi's voice came from behind him: "Lord Su, please take back any gifts sent to my house, otherwise the old man will also throw them out of the door." ”

Su Jin paused for a moment, did not look back, and only said softly: "Han Shuai can throw it away if he wants to, Su Jin wants to express his reverence, and he is worthy of his heart." ”
