"Boy, there's one thing you don't know. No one can stop me from doing what I want to do!" Mrs. Liu snorted.
"No one can force me to do something I don't want to do!" Chen Ke opened his eyes and looked at him without any sign of weakness.
"There's another thing you don't know. Even if I kill you, it won't be a big deal!" Mr. Liu sneered: "Don't think that because the officials praise you, you will be more valuable. I can kill you if I want!"
"You won't kill me." Chen Ke said calmly.
"Where do you get your confidence?" Old Man Liu sneered.
"For a warrior," Chen Ke said with a smile: "His sword is closer to his heart than his words. If the old man wants to kill me, the sword has already passed through my body and he will not talk nonsense to me." So.
It's not that this guy has no brains, he just doesn't like beating around the bush, but the old man's sharp blade forced him to outsmart him...
"Hmph..." There was a smug smile on the corner of Old Mrs. Liu's mouth, but he quickly realized that this was wrong and quickly said with a straight face: "You are not a complete idiot. I, Liu Hao, have a great reputation all his life. How can you kill someone?"
A defenseless man?"
He wiped the blood on the blade of the knife on Chen Ke's snow-white collar, and suddenly hit Chen Ke hard on the lower abdomen with the handle of the knife. This was too sudden, and Chen Ke hit Chen Ke hard, and it hurt immediately.
He arched his waist.
"You bastard," Old Man Liu finally shouted out the anger he had suppressed for a long time: "What's wrong with my granddaughter! You, the Chen family, treat her like a scourge!"
"This has nothing to do with how she is." Chen Ke stood up straight and said to the old gentleman with a sincere face: "I am already engaged."
"You bastard!" Old Man Liu was like an angry lion, punching him hard again and roaring: "This punch was earned for your bastard father! You are still eating from the bowl and looking at the pot even though you are engaged.
of!"
Chen Ke could actually dodge, but he didn't. He staggered after being hit, but he only grunted, didn't groan, and didn't fall down... How could this matter be resolved without letting the old man breathe out? His deep breath
You can only say it with your tone: "My father is innocent. I made my engagement myself, and he didn't know about it."
"What a joke." Old Man Liu sneered: "How can I be allowed to make the final decision on my parents' orders and the matchmaker's words when it comes to marriage?"
"Haha..." Chen Ke wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled: "I have always admired your father..."
"You..." Old Man Liu was at a loss for words. Everyone in the world knew how his father married his mother back then, and his grandfather even filed a lawsuit against him for this.
"My father is not at fault, and the old lady's family is not at fault either. All the mistakes are my fault." Chen Ke sighed deeply and said, "It was me, young Meng Lang, who brought endless trouble and pain to the three families. I am willing to
I will bear all the consequences. However, I must marry Su Xiaomei because this is a promise."
Old Mrs. Liu looked at Chen Ke with a complicated expression. Although he had no good impression of this boy, he still had to admit that from the moment they met, Chen Ke's words and deeds made it difficult for him to feel bad. Even without knowing it, he was pleasing to the eye.
too much……
"Don't the words of parents ordering a matchmaker count as a promise?" Mrs. Liu immediately caught Chen Ke's words: "You only fulfill the promise to the Su family, and you don't have to fulfill the promise to my family.
?”
"This..." Chen Ke was speechless and said with a wry smile: "If I can split it in half, I will definitely fulfill it."
"What's so difficult about this?" Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "Looking at how smart you are, why are you so stubborn?" He gave Chen Ke advice: "I think you are young and ridiculous, but you still keep your word.
For the sake of my granddaughter, I will make the decision for my granddaughter. After you get married, I will allow that little sister Su to be a side wife." After saying that, he patted Chen Ke heavily on the shoulder and said, "I am not exempt from that blow, I just have the right to write it down.
If you dare to pamper your concubine and destroy your wife, we will settle the account together then!"
In his opinion, Chen Ke would definitely not be able to agree to such a good thing... Grandma is a bitch. When the daughter of a wealthy family gets married, she is allowed to take concubines before they get married. Where can I find such a good thing?
"Su Xiaomei must be the first wife." Chen Ke said without knowing what to do.
"You..." Mrs. Liu stared at her bull's eyes and said, "Don't know what is good and what is evil!"
"I promised to marry her, not accept her, so I have to marry her properly, there is no other possibility." Chen Ke said: "If the old master agrees, I can also marry your granddaughter through the matchmaker."
"Fart!" Old Master Liu said angrily: "Even in an official family, there is only one queen!"
"If it doesn't work, I can only use other methods to compensate the old man and Miss Liu." Chen Ke bowed deeply and said: "From now on, if the old man and Miss Liu have any orders, they will not hesitate to give birth to them."
"Who cares..." Mr. Liu turned his back irritably and paced back and forth in the practice room. According to his temperament, the other party would not bother to pester him anymore if he said so. He would only give him a beating at most.
There was a pause, and then they broke up. However, there was a voice in his heart, but it kept telling him not to let go. The old man couldn't explain why, it seemed to be the kind of stubbornness that came from the family, and it seemed to be some other reason...
…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the martial arts hall, only the sound of Liu Hao pacing back and forth was heard, while Chen Ke stood quietly aside, waiting for his answer.
After a long time, Mr. Liu finally stood still, turned around and looked at him provocatively and said: "Boy, I heard that you have a lot of tricks? Can you do a lot of things that others can't do?"
"You can't say that..." Chen Ke sighed and said, "For example, there is nothing I can do about this matter."
"There is a way. If you can help me accomplish one thing, I will return your Gengtie. From now on, the two families will have nothing to do with each other."
"What's going on?" Chen Ke asked alertly.
"I have a brother, and he is in big trouble now." Liu Hao sighed: "I want to help him, but there is no way."
"Who?" Chen Ke said in a deep voice.
"It's okay to tell you," Liu Hao said with pride: "He is none other than the current Privy Councilor, General Di Hanchen!"
"Marshal Di..." Chen Ke took a breath of air and said.
"That's right." Liu Hao nodded and said: "Back then, he was still my subordinate during the fierce battle in the northwest. Now, he is already the minister of the Western Government and the pride of our Song Dynasty soldiers." He then sighed and said: "But now, someone
I want to put him to death, can you help him save the day?"
"Is it Wen Yanbo?" Chen Ke suddenly remembered something and asked in a deep voice.
"Oh?" Liu Hao couldn't help but look at it with admiration and said in surprise: "How did you know this?"
Of course Chen Ke would not say that I read it from history books... In fact, a thousand years later, Di Qing is still familiar to people. Most of the reasons are due to the injustice and tragic ending he suffered.
Chen Ke vaguely remembered that after Di Qing had been the privy councilor for several years, he was suddenly boycotted by the civil servants. In order to bring him down, the civil servants did not hesitate to spread rumors and use various superstitious claims to shake Emperor Renzong's will. Although it was not until
In the end, the civil servants did not find any bad deeds on him, but Di Qing was still expelled from the capital.
After that, under the meticulous care of the imperial court, messengers would come to inquire after him every half a month... In the hundred years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, only Di Qing had received such treatment. I really don't know what he had done to make the imperial court feel so uneasy.
Di Qing was filled with sorrow and anger, and soon died of gangrene... It was not until twenty years later, when the country sent troops to the Western Regions and had no good generals, that the victorious general who died young was remembered. However, the great achievements of the men in the Song Dynasty were greatly reflected in their military service.
My heart has long since disappeared with the death of Di Qing and will never come back.
Those civil servants succeeded, and the world still revolved around them. All the glory of the Song Dynasty belonged to them. Therefore, good men did not serve as soldiers, but they all studied hard with books and worked hard to become officials. In the end, there was no other way.
Let the eunuchs lead the troops and perform ridiculous live dramas, handing over a great country to a group of savages.
What is hateful is that when disaster struck, these civil servants ran faster than anyone else. Basically, they all escaped across the Yangtze River and continued to dominate the colorful world in the south of the Yangtze River until the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed. There was no place to escape.
, only to receive retribution...but it was too late, hundreds of millions of innocent people had already turned into withered bones.
Chen Ke knows everything, but he knows even more that he is just an ordinary person and cannot be the kind of great man who can overturn the world. In another level of history, Wang Anshi has long proven that reform is no joke.
Being a great man is not easy, otherwise you will become a sinner through the ages...
It is precisely because of these two reasons that Chen Ke has no interest in being an official. If it were not for the fact that in the Song Dynasty, being an official was synonymous with privilege, he would not even take the imperial examination. He planned to be an idle official and enjoy life.
Look for more excitement, hurry up before Jingkang, and spend this life in a state of drunkenness and dreaming. After I die, the flood will come to the sky...
But what about the tragedy that happened in front of him? To care or not? For a person who has done heroic things for justice, it is not a problem at all. It’s just that after the Liuta River incident, Chen Ke has fully realized the blackness and shamelessness of the top management, so he
No confidence at all.
It is almost impossible to help Di Qing flip cards.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I guessed it." Chen Ke answered Old Man Liu's question: "Without the support of the Minister of the East Government, it is unlikely to sway the Minister of the West Government."
"Sure enough!" Old Man Liu said with some confidence in Chen Kesheng: "Do I take you to agree?"
"I can do my best to provide advice on this matter." Chen Ke said slowly: "But my little sister's happiness cannot be used as a bet."
"Okay..." Liu Hao also said word by word: "As long as I see your efforts, I don't have to attach any conditions..."
I think that when normal people come to such a dynasty, they will have thoughts like Chen Ke. There are too few great men like Mo Mo who study for the rise of the nation; like Chen Ke, he has no clear plans for the future, he just wants to let himself and those around him
The vast majority of people live better lives.
Of course, people's ideas will change. If you are put in the position of Prime Minister of the country, you will also seriously think about the country's plans, so don't be anxious... and let him live a wonderful life.
