A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 717 The Cao Family’s Rules

Zhang Baibian leaned over and whispered again: "In the official family, Chang Jianren offended Ren Shouzhong, so he came to compete for the navy capital Yuhou."

This information cannot be hidden from the Imperial City Division, but there is no need to let the officials know.

The Song Dynasty was so big that so many things happened every day. If Zhao Zhen had to report everything to Zhao Zhen, he would probably not be able to do anything else and would just be a listener.

Therefore, governments at all levels act as filters. For example, the ministers and ministers were the filters for the memorials. They would classify the memorials, give suggestions on the important ones, and then send them up. And they deducted what they thought was unimportant and disposed of it directly.

This is the reason for the subsequent vote.

When Qin Shihuang was dealing with memorials, he was in a hurry. Countless bamboo slips flooded the palace, and he was buried in them.

Behind him is Zhu Yuanzhang, who is also a workaholic and handles countless memorials every day.

But Qin Shihuang and Zhu Yuanzhang were in the minority after all, and most emperors could not follow suit, so filters appeared.

The prime minister filtered memorials, and Zhang Bian filtered information.

Zhao Shu watched calmly. I was thinking about whether Zhang Baibian was hiding something.

As an emperor, he needs a filter, but whether the filter is loyal and conscientious requires him to observe and think.

Just thinking about it, he felt that Zhang Baibian didn't dare, so he relaxed and looked at Chang Jianren, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

If Chang Jianren delays, it will be an opportunity to take revenge. Although there is nothing wrong with it, this person cannot be of great use.

I saw Chang Jianren quickly taking off his clothes, exposing half of his ribs, and then jumped down without even having time to take off his shoes.

In just five breaths, Chang Jianren emerged from the water holding Ren Shouzhong's hair.

"so fast!"

“It’s really water-based!”

Being brave in the face of justice is worthy of praise in any era. When Ren Shouzhong was pulled up, he happened to hear Zhao Shu say: "It's rare to not care about grudges!"

puff!

He thought what he spurted out would be a mouthful of old blood, but it was all water.

It turns out that the officials knew about this matter?

He lay on the ground, turned his eyes, and saw Zhao Xu with an indifferent expression, and Shen An with an innocent expression.

The king hit someone just now!

But who can prove it?

He's nailed this trap!

He knew he couldn't show any resentment, so he forced a smile and said, "Thank you very much."

Chang Jianren was about to change his clothes when he heard this and said: "They said that a certain person was stubborn in his work, so no one liked him in the Hanlin Academy. But the imperial edict said that stubborn people are needed in the army, so a certain person came. As for you, a certain person can't You don't need to thank me for refusing to save him, just pretend it didn't happen."

Just because I have a grudge against you doesn't mean I can sit back and watch you drown. But it was just instinct that I saved you, so you don’t have to thank me.

The grievances are clear!

Zhao Shu admired Chang Jianren more and more.

Shen An and Zhao Xu took the opportunity to get closer.

"The force you hit me just now was too hard."

"Okay, practice more later."

"Well, just move your shoulders. You even move your legs."

"How is Chang Jianren?"

"Can use."

The two briefly exchanged a few words and then prepared to start the banquet.

Shen An came closer and said: "Your Majesty, my whole family is in front, I am disrespectful, that..."

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "Today there are many civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty, but you are the only one with your family. Okay, come here and send some food and wine. You can go on your own."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

In the envious eyes of everyone, Shen An walked out of the hall.

Ren Shouzhong changed his clothes and came out, with water still running from his head. When he saw Shen An in front, he said coldly: "The king and a certain person have no enmity. This is all your idea!"

He knew that Shen An would not admit it, so he said with fire in his eyes: "Be careful. Now that the official family and the empress are gradually less conflicted, I will find an opportunity to make you look good in the future."

The relationship between Zhao Shu and Queen Mother Cao has gradually eased, which is good news. But Ren Shouzhong is disgusting.

"It was someone's idea."

After Shen An dropped these words, he laughed and went to look for his family.

"He admitted it, he admitted it!"

Ren Shouzhong turned around and shouted in surprise.

But the nearest people were three steps away, and Shen An's voice just now was so low that no one heard it.

"Is this man crazy?"

"Yes, I fell into the water for no reason while walking, and now I'm saying that Shen Daizhao admitted something for no reason. He is really crazy."

Ren Shouzhong's face turned cold and he left silently.

"Brother, that person swam so fast before!"

Guoguo was very happy today, because Su Shi and others responded to her requests, and she felt very happy as a result.

"It's very fast."

Shen An sat down, and later a waiter brought a banquet.

Yang Zhuoxue said in surprise: "Officer, is this a meritorious service?"

"No."

Shen An was not interested in giving a banquet, so when he saw Su Shi and the others drinking, he asked someone to send some dishes over.

"Brother Anbei is here to drink!"

Wang Yu's face turned green after drinking, but Su Shi still toasted enthusiastically.

These two guys are in love and killing each other!

Shen An went over and sat down, and soon he was drunk with them until he was dizzy.

In the palace, Zhao Shu was in a good mood, so he frequently raised his glasses.

Zhao Xu had no chance to drink in the palace, but when he went out this time, no one cared about him, so he drank freely.

After drinking for three rounds, Han Qi said: "Your Majesty, the Liao and Xixia people have been flirting with each other recently, and I am a little worried about whether they will join forces with each other."

Zhao Shu hummed and looked at Zhao Xu.

A prince who has not been taught by the emperor is not a good prince, and has a high chance of becoming a coward.

Therefore, Zhao Shu would test his son from time to time. If he was right, he would encourage him; if he was wrong, he would give guidance.

Zhao Xu said: "Li Liangzuo was defeated in Yuanzhou last time. He was devastated when he returned, but the Song Dynasty refused to reopen the negotiations. He had to find some means to appease people, and flirting with the Liao people was just one of the means. , but the Liao and Xixia people will be wary of each other, so I thought this was just a temporary measure."

Zhao Shu looked at the ministers, smiled and asked, "How is it?"

Han Qi picked up the wine glass, stood up and said, "Your Majesty has extraordinary knowledge. I would like to congratulate His Majesty."

"I congratulate Your Majesty!"

His son was praised by the ministers. Zhao Shu couldn't help but smile happily, then raised his glass and drank.

The prince of the Song Dynasty is so discerning, the future Song Dynasty will be the same!

Everyone present looked at Zhao Xu with smiles, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

Zhao Shu was in a good mood. He remembered the goodwill shown by Empress Dowager Cao recently, so he ordered: "The Cao family is a general, so it is not good for Cao Yi to stay at home all day. Let him go to Fuzhou to see, at least he must be worthy of the imperial court. Zhongfa’s salary is the one.”

These words are very harsh, but some people are envious of them.

The old Cao family is about to turn over!

Later, after the banquet ended, Cao Yan also got the news, and he rolled his eyes excitedly on the spot. The Cao family wanted to invite a doctor. Some people said that Shen An was the best doctor, so the steward sent someone quickly to invite Shen An.

Shen An was also happy for Cao Yi and was a little confused when he heard the news.

Lao Cao, Uncle Cao Guo, don't be so happy, that official will be driven crazy.

I wanted to show some goodwill, but I was so happy that Uncle Cao Guo was so happy. No matter how written in the history books, this matter was a bad debt. Those dirty scholars would write something like this in various records:

——In the autumn of the eighth year of Jiayou's reign, the emperor ordered Yi to go to the northwest, but he died of fear!

Shen An guessed that Zhao Shu's complexion must be as dark as the bottom of a pot at this time.

"Get out of the way!"

After galloping all the way to Cao's Mansion, the steward outside the door cried: "I'm waiting for help!"

Damn it!

Lao Cao, is this a fart?

Shen An dismounted and ran.

When he rushed in, he saw the main hall door of Lao Cao's house open and a group of servants howling.

Shen An felt a chill in his heart and walked in slowly.

There was a door panel inside, and Cao Yi was lying on it.

This is the procedure after death, lying on the door panel.

Shen An's legs were a little weak. Thinking of Cao Yi's straightforwardness and uprightness, she couldn't help but choked up and said, "Old Cao, brother is here to give you a ride."

"Where's the fragrance?"

He stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Lang is still angry."

Damn it!

Shen An turned around and slapped him, then rushed over to punch and kick him.

The steward didn't resist, he just squatted on the ground and shouted: "Thank you for your support! Thank you for your support!"

Shen An let him go, walked over and squatted down, stretched out his hand to feel his breath, and felt a little messy. When he felt his pulse again, it turned out to be very stable.

what does this mean?

The steward came over with a bruised face and said, "The rules handed down from our ancestors are that if our ancestors killed too many people, once their descendants appear to be possessed by evil spirits, they should quickly lie down on the door panel and place it in the front hall, so that ghosts and gods will think they are dead when they see it. Can you escape..."

Where the hell is this!

Shen An covered his forehead and said, "How did you faint?"

The steward rubbed his swollen lips and grinned: "After hearing the news about going to Fuzhou earlier, Lang Jun laughed three times and then fell down."

This is too much joy, which is the same virtue as that of a horse.

When a person is overly excited, various body functions will undergo drastic changes. Once the body's tolerance is exceeded, the body will automatically warn and then belch and faint to ease the mood.

"Bring us the hot pot."

"What?"

"Get the hot pot!"

The steward felt that Shen An was too cold-blooded, but recalling the tears in Shen An's eyes earlier, he went out to prepare.

Later, the hot pot was set up and Shen An ate heartily.

"Your beef is fresh. Is it just delivered?"

Shen An is the number one cook in the Song Dynasty. Being able to get his praise makes the manager very proud.

"Yes, if the beef the Cao family wants is not fresh, then they will destroy the stall."

Shen An ate another piece of beef and said with satisfaction: "It is indeed delicious...whose hand is this?"

A hand reached out from behind Shen An and took away his wine bowl.

He slowly turned around and saw Cao Yi sitting on the door panel, holding his own wine bowl in his hand, and raised his head to finish it.

"happy!"

The steward cried happily, "Mr. Wang wakes up, and his ancestors have appeared!"

Cao Yi sat over. He grabbed Shen An's chopsticks without hesitation and ate more than ten pieces of beef in a row, and then he said comfortably: "The ancestors have indeed shown their power."

Shen An was about to say that you were just too happy, but Cao Yan started chattering...

"Back then, the ancestors of the Cao family killed countless people on the battlefield. After returning home, all kinds of strange things happened..."

Cao Yan looked at Shen An and said sternly: "Don't believe it, back then someone saw that long sword that drank human blood unsheathing itself..."

"Then the clip failed, right?"

Shen An thinks these weird things are really boring.

Cao Yi said calmly: "A thief entered the house that night."

"coincide!"

Shen An always refutes this kind of feudal superstition.

Cao Yan ate a piece of beef and said: "When a certain person was young, he was possessed by an evil spirit and lost consciousness. A Buddhist monk came to see it and said that it was hopeless. Later, he took out the long knife at home, but he just took it out of the sheath. Wake up."

Shen An felt a little cold on his spine. He looked back and saw that the door panel was still the same, but he always felt something was wrong.

When news about Cao Yi reached the palace, Empress Dowager Cao wanted to leave the palace immediately to visit her brother.

But she still needs Zhao Shu's approval if she wants to leave the palace.

"This issue……"

Zhao Shu was also speechless, thinking that I had good intentions, but who knew that Cao Yi fainted with joy, who was to blame?

Just when he was about to agree, someone came to report.

"The official family, Shen An has gone."

Zhao Shu didn't want to worry about it anymore, "I'll report the follow-up to the empress."

When Queen Mother Cao got the news, she impatiently urged people to inquire.

Later there was news.

"Mother, my uncle is lying on the door panel."

"This is the Cao family's rule, no problem!"

After hearing this, Queen Mother Cao turned around and went to the back.

There is a small room at the back, UU reading www.uuknshu.net Empress Dowager Cao went in, knelt on the futon, and prayed silently.

"Mother, Shen An is eating hot pot and drinking wine next to Uncle Guo."

In the mist, Empress Dowager Cao stood up with a slight exertion on her legs, turned sideways and shouted: "Bring me the knife!"

The person outside the door who came to report was Ren Shouzhong. He lowered his head and said, "Mother, I'm afraid it's not good..."

Queen Mother Cao stepped forward and kicked him out.

She walked out and extended her right hand.

Someone left quickly and came over later carrying a long knife licensed by the government.

Empress Dowager Cao took the long sword, raised her thick eyebrows, and said, "Get out of the palace!"

Thanks to the happy leader for the reward.

Goodnight, everyone!
