When he got up early the next morning, Chen Ke felt refreshed and performed a set of powerful fists in the yard, which attracted excited cheers from the Japanese girls.
He took the towel handed by Du Qingshuang and went to the bathroom to take a shower... of course, just take a shower, then eat a work of art Bianjing breakfast, and finally clear his mouth with a cup of fragrant tea. If someone asked him, are you happy? He
You will definitely laugh and say: 'If I don't have sex, who will be happy?'.
Yesterday afternoon, Zhao Zongji had someone bring a message over, saying that the imperial court had approved his leave... New scholars are all entitled to a year's leave. Chen Ke first went to Dali as an envoy and then to the Liao Kingdom. He never enjoyed it, so of course he has to make up for it now.
However, Zhao Zongji said that the court would definitely not let him idle for a year. The official's intention was that it was probably a leisurely job for him to take a rest.
"What do you mean by taking a break?" Chen Ke said he didn't understand, but anyway, he was on vacation now and could take a break.
After breakfast, he went to the West Courtyard to talk to Erlang. Chen Chen was one year earlier than Chen Ke. He was a second-class Jinshi. He first became the chief registrar of Dinghai. After three years of service, he excelled in the examination and was promoted to the magistrate of Ye County. He completed his term this year.
He excelled in the exam again and was transferred back to the capital, where he was promoted to Dr. Taichang and concurrently editor of the Academy of National History.
After getting up, in just six years, Erlang was promoted to the eighth rank of Beijing official, and Erlang was already enjoying a prosperous official career...
When Chen Ke came over, Chen Chen was studying. He had just arrived in Beijing. According to the regulations, he had a month's holiday to allow officials to settle down in their family, get familiar with the environment, and handle all the affairs properly before going to work. Chen Chen didn't have a family, so he went to Beijing with him.
Yes, there is only one servant, one servant girl, and one coachman: there is no need to settle in, the house has been tidied up. You can just move in. I wanted to say that I can go to work directly.
Unexpectedly, Shangfeng said, "You can rest in peace. Being an official in the imperial court is just a small benefit. Every cent is yours. Why not?" Chen Chen had no choice but to go home and rest.
Seeing Chen Ke come in, he put down his book, stood up and said with a smile: "I woke up so early, I thought I had to sleep until noon."
"It has been a habit for many years. I wake up on time every morning." Chen Kexin said. Except for that day, he looked at the room and saw only the necessary furniture. Then there were the stacks of books, as simple as a poor scholar. He couldn't help but smile.
: "I have been an official for six years, but I have not changed at all."
"Why change?" Chen Chen said with a smile: "The simpler life is, the more peaceful the heart will be." He was afraid that Chen Ke would misunderstand, so he laughed and said: "Everyone lives his own way. If you are like me, you will probably go crazy.
.”
"Hehe," Chen Ke laughed and said, "I am a common person, and I have to have a lot of fun in order to do good work."
"You, you," Chen Chen shook his head and smiled, "That's how Liulang was led astray by you."
"Xiao Liu just doesn't like reading, but he is actually quite capable." Chen Ke said with a smile: "What's the point of our whole family being officials? Just let him go."
"Anyway, my brothers only listen to you." Chen Chen said with a bitter smile: "Even my second brother..."
"I listen to the second brother." Chen Ke said with a smile. The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, and the difference between them after a long separation disappeared. They regained the feeling that blood is thicker than water.
The two brothers sat in the warm morning light and drank tea. Under the influence of Chen Ke, Chen Chen also only drank clear tea, brewed a pot of Maojian, and some refreshments, and just chatted while eating. Time flew by.
Although they have never met, there are still letters between the brothers, so the brothers are no strangers to each other's experiences over the years. Chen Chen poured a cup of tea for Chen Ke and said with a smile: "I thought you were extraordinary when I was a child, but I didn't expect
Ah, in just a few years, you have accomplished such a great cause. As your brother, I am really proud."
"What kind of career are you talking about as a wage earner..." Chen Ke shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just fulfilling your duty. You are also fulfilling your duty as a parent. The year before last, there was a plague in Ye County. In order to stabilize people's hearts, you freed up the county government and centralized treatment.
As a result, most of the patients in other counties fled, but no one escaped in Ye County. They stayed behind to work together to fight the disaster and prevent the epidemic. In the end, it was your county that had the fewest deaths. Tell me, can I not be proud of you?"
"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning," Chen Chen said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, whenever I think about how outstanding my younger brother is, I don't dare to relax at all, for fear that I will be laughed at in the future.
.”
"So you have been too busy to get married?" Chen Ke sighed: "In these years, have you just relied on the "Hejian Biography" I gave you to pass the time?"
"Pfft..." Chen Chen, a gentle gentleman, was also made to lose his composure, and laughed and cursed: "What a bastard to say, am I that kind of person!"
"Then how do you solve that problem?" Chen Ke asked curiously.
Chen Chen didn't want to answer at first, but when his perverted brother pressed him, he had no choice but to pick up the teacup, put it down, pick it up again, put it down again, and said three times: "I don't need to see that, I just want to think about her."
Chen Ke blinked and stopped talking. It turned out that his brother's sexual immorality skills were already superb...
"To be honest," Chen Chen said sadly, "I have missed her every day for so many years, but when we really want to meet her soon, I am afraid of seeing her."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that she in my heart is no longer the same person as she is in reality." Chen Chen's sadness turned into a river: "So I'm wondering if it's better to miss each other than to see each other..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Ke slapped him on the shoulder and spat: "I can't stand you literary youths the most, all of them are brainwashed! Do you want to live with your own fantasies for the rest of your life?"
"of course not."
"Isn't it settled then?" Chen Ke said: "Go and see her. If she is still the girl of your dreams, there is nothing to say. This time, whether it is drugging or kidnapping, I will get her back for you to consummate the marriage!"
"I take care of my own business, I don't need you to interfere." Chen Chen shook his head and said, "Burn the harp and boil the crane!"
Chen Kexin said, if I don't burn the harp and cook the cranes, Du Qingshuang will still be singing outside, Liu Yue'e will still wander around the world, Xiao Guanyin... forget it, the face has no human rights, so don't mention it.
"Let's not talk about it anymore." The two brothers are completely different in their views on love, so they won't talk about it until they can talk about it together. Chen Ke said: "Yesterday, my father said that there might be a big trouble in Beijing. What's going on."
"It was caused by disarmament." Chen Chen said: "In the past few years, the imperial court has called for disarmament every year, but every year it fired empty cannons. However, in the spring, under the persuasion of Wen Xianggong and the former Third Division Envoy Zhang Xianggong, the official
We finally made up our minds to finish it before the end of June."
"This matter has been aroused since the beginning of the year. Everyone in the army is in danger, and the families of the soldiers are even more furious. As the date for the announcement of the list approaches, the capital has become a mess. It is said that many soldiers and their families are colluding to threaten each other.
Make a big fuss before the announcement and force the court to make concessions..." Chen Chen looked at his younger brother and said, "It just so happened that at this time, Mr. Ouyang, the governor of Kaifeng, fell ill again." Bao Zheng had stopped meditating in Kaifeng Mansion long ago, and now he is holding the seal
, it is Chen Ke’s teacher Ouyang Xiu.
"What disease?" Chen Ke asked in surprise.
"Eye disease."
"Oh." Chen Ke nodded.
Bao Zheng and Ouyang Xiu are the governors of Kaifeng, which is actually wrong, because the position of governor has always been reserved for the crown prince. So most of the time, this position is vacant, and the prefect exercises his powers. Old Bao
He is relatively good. After more than two years in the position, he lost the word "quan" and became the prefect of Kaifeng. Ouyang Xiu only served for a year, but his official position was too high, so he also changed his name to "quan". However, it is customary in officialdom to treat officials
They both have high titles, so they are called "Fu Yin". This is the same as calling the ministers responsible for political affairs and the three envoys "Xin Gong".
The important place in the capital, under the emperor's feet, high-ranking officials and large households are like crucian carp crossing the river, and the affairs are complicated. Therefore, this is an important and complicated position. Unless a shrewd, capable and respected minister is in charge, it will be difficult to control. After Bao Zheng became the censor Zhongcheng, the official family
After careful consideration, I decided that it must be Ouyang Xiu.
So at this time last year, he appointed the fifty-two-year-old Ouyang Xiu as the bachelor of Longtuge and the magistrate of Kaifeng. However, Ouyang Xiu refused in a letter. He made a sincere statement in "Zha Zi of Kaifeng Prefecture", complaining that he had been suffering from eye diseases for a long time and suffered from premature aging.
He is often sick, suffers from sudden wind dizziness, and lacks physical strength. He may not be able to manage such an important place as the capital.
He also admitted that "I am specialized in literary diction and governing the people and government, but I am not a director." He was working hard on writing the "New Book of Tang" and did not have so much energy to manage the affairs of the capital.
The imperial court firmly refused to allow him to resign, so Old Ouyang had to reluctantly take office. His style of politics was completely different from that of Bao Heizi. One was to be strict and serious, to frighten Xiao Xiaoxiao, and the other was to be lenient and simple in politics to induce people to do good. Both of these routes are reasonable.
, the key depends on the ability of the executor, Ouyang Xiu is obviously not as he modestly said, "governing the people and the government, not the director", he promoted the lenient, simple and benevolent government, managed the Kaifeng government in an orderly manner, and was deeply loved by the people.
But as Ouyang Xiu had expected, due to the busy schedule of official affairs in Kyoto, he was also a serious person, so he had to take care of everything, review official documents day and night, and deal with various matters. As a result, his eye disease worsened, his eyes hurt, and his vision blurred.
My physical condition is not as good as before. I fell ill several times this year and it was difficult to continue working normally. I had to take leave to recuperate at home.
"Master Ouyang is not unaware of the situation in Beijing," Chen Chen sighed: "Although he is ill at home, his father has to report to him every day. He also desperately requested the court to choose a competent official to replace him, but now,
Who would sit in this crater when the volcano is about to erupt? No one will take over! My father and the other government officials have no choice but to hold on, because who knows what day it will erupt." He said with a worried look on his face.
Said: "If something happens, my father will not be able to escape his involvement..."
"As for Liulang, dad said that he is too involved with the rogue soldiers on the street, and he is afraid that he will join in the chaos." Chen Chen continued: "He said that as long as he steps out of the house, he will never come back."
