A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"You haven't gone to see the queen yet?"

Shen An felt that Cao Yi was probably drifting.

"I also wanted to, but..." Cao Yi pointed to one of his black and blue eyes, "I drank with them to celebrate, and ended up fighting." He smiled bitterly: "If the empress sees it, she will have to fight again. Beaten."

The way Queen Mother Cao taught her younger brother was so simple and crude that Shen An felt she couldn't stand it.

This is the Cao family.

Cao Yi just woke up from a hangover. He looked ugly with disheveled hair and kept yawning. "By the way...ah...didn't you say you were trying to trick people? How did you end up here?"

Shen An took a sip of tea and said, "I'm bored, so I came here to see if the Cao family has any Qin and Han swords that I don't want. I'll take a few back."

"Shameless!" That Han sword was Cao Yan's sad thing, "Get out of here!"

Shen An stood up and said with a smile: "So and so is leaving, but I just want to ask for something."

"Just say it!" Cao Yihao said angrily.

"Some people will come here later. One of them is Xia Zheng. Can you help me break his leg?"

Well!

Cao Yi was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand to dig at the corners of his eyes.

"Mr. Lang..." The butler next to him winked at Cao Yan desperately, but Shen An pretended not to notice.

Cao Yan frowned and looked at the housekeeper and said, "Get out!"

Then he said to Shen An: "Okay!"

Shen An nodded and then left.

The housekeeper came in again after he left, and said eagerly: "Lang Jun, that little man Xia Zheng knows that he is an idle official of the Third Division. There are many people behind him supporting him, and the leader is Lu Hui and others. Such people Even Shen An has to weigh it, he is here to get you into trouble!"

"You know nothing!"

Cao Yan looked at him sideways and said lazily: "He is someone's brother."

The housekeeper smiled bitterly and said, "But you can't do things with loyalty..."

"Lang Jun! Many people came outside. They said they heard that Shen Longtu came to our house and came to look for him."

Cao Yi stood up and said, "Go and have a look."

"Mr. Lang!"

The housekeeper stopped him, "If we don't manage this well, we will become the enemies of Lu Hui and others!"

Cao Yan pushed him away and strode out, "Are you afraid of them?"

"But where are the scholar-bureaucrats in the world?"

"Don't be afraid of that!"

When Cao Yi went out, he saw dozens of people blocking the door, looking anxious.

"May I ask my uncle, where is the picture of Shen Long?"

Cao Yan looked at these people and asked, "Who is Xia Zheng?"

Xia Zheng, who was hiding in the middle, raised his hand and said, "Uncle, I am here."

Cao Yi smiled particularly amiably, "I have heard of your name a long time ago and said that you are a virtuous and virtuous person. Come, come closer and let me have a look."

Everyone present couldn't help laughing.

Virtuous and virtuous is a word used to praise women. Why did Guojiu use it on Xia Zheng?

However, looking at Cao Yi's disheveled and haggard appearance, everyone thought of his recent carnival with a bunch of friends and thought it was normal.

Think about the predecessors in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, they were people who drank too much and just played fruit. Compared with them, the gap between Guojiu and them is still obvious.

Xia Zheng walked over, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I've met my uncle."

This uncle is a true legend. It only took a few years from staying at home to avoid trouble to becoming the deputy commander of the palace.

Xia Zheng felt that such an uncle was worth making friends with, and the best place to start was if his uncle had heard about his reputation.

"Xia Zheng..."

Cao Yi looked at him with a smile and took a step back, as if he was ready to take a closer look at what he meant.

"It's the lower official."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Yi suddenly raised his leg.

Boom!

Xia Zheng fell to the ground in confusion.

"It didn't stop?"

Cao Yan blushed, then rushed forward, kicked down Xia Zheng who was about to get up, and then raised his leg and stepped down hard.

Boom!

The sound of broken bones was very subtle, but the severe pain came like a wave.

"ah……"

Xia Zheng, who didn't know why he was so unlucky, screamed and tried to lift his upper body, stretching out his hands to hold his broken calf.

"Mr. Lang!"

The housekeeper exclaimed from behind: "Xia Zheng just wanted to attack Mr. Lang, but did you see him?"

Although the servants behind didn't know why Cao Yan took action, they still shouted: "I saw it."

The housekeeper shouted again: "Lang Jun fought back. He deliberately brought his legs up, but everyone saw him?"

"Saw."

Cao Yi nodded slightly, "There is no need for this. Cao kicked your leg off today for no reason. He just wanted to kick it, that's all."

He turned back and entered the house. The butler followed and said, "Mr. Lang, at least you can coax everyone. If you can coax the empress, won't you get beaten less?"

"That's right." Cao Yan thought for a moment, "That's all, why do you care about taking action for your brother? Prepare food and wine, have a full meal, and then go to jail or wherever you go, you can carry it for a while."

Later, after he had a full meal, people from the palace came.

"Uncle, I've been summoned by my empress."

Cao Yan burped, then stood up and said, "I'm going. I want them to be more honest at home."

The butler said with tears in his eyes: "Take care, Sir."

At least I'll get beaten up by my empress if I go there, but it's impossible to go to jail.

After sending Cao Yi to the door all the way, the housekeeper explained the reason for his earlier dissuasion, "Lang Jun, it's not easy for relatives. I'm just worried that the Cao family will be rejected by the officials."

Cao Yi nodded, "I know, otherwise I would have dealt with you earlier."

The housekeeper smiled bitterly and said, "Does Mr. Lang regret it?"

Cao Yi got on his horse, frowned slightly and said, "No."

He entered the palace all the way, and when he saw Queen Mother Cao, although he had prepared himself mentally, he was still a little scared.

"Sister...sister."

Queen Mother Cao stood outside, the sunlight was shining gently, Cao Yan's eyes were good, and he saw a few rays of silver.

The eldest sister also has gray hair.

"Did you break Xia Zheng's leg?"

"yes."

There was no emotion or anger in Empress Dowager Cao's voice. She took a deep breath and said, "I don't agree with letting you serve in the Palace Front Office. Do you know why?"

"I don't know." Cao Yi said honestly.

The only person in this world who can keep him honest is his eldest sister.

"Because you are a relative, and even more because you are not a veteran." Empress Dowager Cao turned her back and looked at the corner in front of her, where there were several green grasses.

There cannot be any larger trees in the palace, so some dwarf flowers and trees can only be planted.

"You became the deputy commander of the Palace Front Division. This is the official's trust in the Cao family. But how do you repay this trust?"

"I am very loyal." Cao Yan felt that his loyalty was beyond doubt.

"So you went to cheer with those little friends and stay up all night eating, drinking and having fun?"

"Eldest sister, then...that's nothing, right?" Cao Yan felt that his eldest sister was too cautious, "We also held a banquet to celebrate Zundao's promotion."

"Who are the people celebrating Zhe Kexing?" Empress Dowager Cao said calmly: "You, the king, Su Shi, Shen An, Wang Yu... who else?"

"Gone."

Cao Yi was shocked, "Sister, you mean...those people?"

"What do you think?" Empress Dowager Cao said: "The officials trusted you and asked you to go to the front office. But how important is the front office? As the deputy commander of the capital, you hang out with those gangsters and get drunk together. Playing with women in a brothel...if someone asks you to be a spy, will you agree?"

Cao Yi was stunned, "Of course I don't want to, I will kill that person."

"But your unwillingness...who knows?"

Cao Yi understood, and said with a cold sweat: "Among those people...the original friends were mostly incompetent people, but in recent days, a few powerful people have sneaked in. I didn't pay attention, they...they..."

"What are they?" Empress Dowager Cao said coldly: "Your vision is too narrow. After becoming a general, you want to follow the officials, but what are the officials thinking? The officials are thinking about implementing the New Deal, but you and the opposition The people of the New Deal are standing in a group, do they want to serve as their internal correspondent in the Front Office?"

Cao Yan was covered in cold sweat, "Someone is wrong."

"I have been waiting for you to enter the palace so that I can give you some advice, but who knows how happy you are to miss Shu." Empress Dowager Cao sighed, "Just when I was about to send someone to summon you, I heard that you broke Xia Zheng's leg.

Who is Xia Zheng? He is the demagogue among these officials, and behind him are the opponents of the New Deal. By breaking his legs, you have revealed your true feelings, and it is time for the officials to clear up their doubts. It’s just that you need to be more cautious when making friends in the future, and learn to reject those who have ulterior motives..."

"Sister!"

Cao Yi understood, "Shen An came to Cao's house earlier and joked with a certain person, saying that he asked a certain person to break Xia Zheng's legs... At that time, a certain person thought that he was not easy to do it..."

"He's saving you!"

Empress Dowager Cao turned around slowly, with a look of relief on her brows, "You helped him out of loyalty, and he took action out of loyalty. It's the two loyalty points that saved you from trouble, come on."

"Empress." Ren Shouzhong rushed to the front not to be left behind.

Empress Dowager Cao glanced at him and said: "Pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Empress Dowager Cao entered the inner room. After a while, she finished all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and she finished it with a wave of her hand.

——Unparalleled loyalty!

Who is this talking about?

Ren Shouzhong was stunned for a moment, and a chamberlain next to him started to write the calligraphy first.

Empress Dowager Cao took the towel and said, "Xia Shuang will send it to the Shen family and hand it over to Shen An."

"yes!"

Xia Shuang took the rolled-up words, and Cao Yi felt a little sad, "Anbei was worried that he would be embarrassed if he said it directly, so he used the expression "asking for help". He was saving face for someone!"

"As long as you know."

Queen Mother Cao didn't like staying in this room. She walked out and said with a smile: "This is the life of a person! Only when you have opponents will you not be lonely, but more importantly, you have friends. People suffer a lot and dare not say many things. Come out and only dare to say anything in front of true brothers and friends."

When she saw Cao Yan's eyes turning red, she smiled and said, "Although you are not stupid, you are far inferior to Shen An in these matters. Since he treats you as a brother, you should also treat him as a brother. From now on, you can listen to him That’s all the advice.”

Xia Shuang arrived at Shen's house all the way. As soon as he entered, he saw a crowd of people, filling the yard of Shen's house.

"...What is an ideal? It's something you want to do but don't dare to do, or something you want to do but can't do. For example, when you were young, you fell in love with the young woman from the shopkeeper's house on the street. She had big breasts. She has a big butt, but you are timid and dare not propose marriage. When you meet her again many years later, she is still as beautiful as before, but you feel regretful and wish you could go back to those days and rush into a wine shop to tell her... "

Someone probably had such an experience, and said very melancholy: "Shen Longtu, even if I go back to the past, I can't make her fall in love!"

Shen An stood on the steps, everyone looked up at him.

"You don't pay attention to your job as an official, so you are left idle. Why is this? Because your will is not strong enough, you give up easily, and you refuse to work hard. Isn't that what makes women tempted?"

He put his hands behind his hands, raised his head slightly and looked into the void.

"Beauty is not born from a mother's womb. She should grow from a peach blossom tree. I hate that peach blossoms fall easily. Falling flowers are more sentimental than you. Practice stillness and contemplation..."

"We are of the same heart and have a long bond. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Although this life is short and lingering, I will meet you again in the next life, and a young man will be in the wind under the jade tree..."

Shen An walked down slowly, and everyone couldn't help but get out of the way.

This is a story.

Xia Shuang couldn't help but become obsessed when he heard that he and Qing would meet again in the next life.

As Shen An recited, the image of a man who wanted to be born but refused to give up his beloved woman emerged.

"I am worried that my passion will harm my holy life, and I am afraid that I will fall in love when I go to the mountains. How can I get the best of both worlds in this world? I can't live up to the Tathagata and I can't live up to you."

Shen An walked to the end and just finished reciting. He looked up and saw Xia Shuang who was infatuated.

There was silence in the yard.
