"Under the sect, the deputy envoy of Jingling Palace, the minister of Tianzhang Pavilion, plus the captain of Qi, the founding uncle of Dongyang County, have 800 households in the city and 500 households in the city. They are given the purple seal to serve Chen Ke, and his words and deeds are attracting attention.
He should set an example for the people of the world, but by mistake, he actually fell in love with the Su and Liu girls successively, which was frivolous, absurd, and contrary to the common sense. Although I regret it now, the mistake has been made. I married one of his daughters and broke my trust with him. What's more,
What's wrong with that woman? The mistakes of abandonment are compounded. I still remember that over the years, she has worked tirelessly and made outstanding achievements. She has worked hard to show her sincerity, forgive her sins, and seek to give her an imperial edict of mercy and forgiveness. She also wrote a letter of forgiveness.
Special display of good looks.”
"Zhi Jiang was compiled for Jixian Palace. The founding man of Juyang County was granted the title of Prince of Juyang County. He was granted the title of 300 households in the city and 100 households were granted the title of Shishi. He won the Purple Seal and changed it into a scarlet robe and silver fish. He also named Su's daughter the Queen of Juyang County.
, the daughter of the Liu family is the queen of Wuyang County, following the example of the heroic wife of Emperor E. She protects the monarch and her ministers, without hurting the old feelings. She bends the law and shows kindness, and this will not be the case next time."
Listening to the imperial edict, Chen Ke was stunned. His mind was filled with scenes from the past. It was really not easy to finally live up to the beauty...
"If you want to be more open-minded, bachelor, even if it is meant to be derogatory, the official's intention is clearly evident." Li Xian sighed softly and said, "There is also a fourth decree."
Chen Ke had no choice but to continue to listen to the order, but he was confused. He only heard that he was appointed as the "Quan Shou Royal Martial Arts Academy Minister". "Shou" means to appoint a low-grade official to a high-grade position. This is what the title should mean.
.
Chen Ke accepted the imperial edict, and Chen Chen took money from the angels and sent them away. Then he turned back and said with a smile: "Now, Sanlang can finally get married."
However, Chen Xiliang said angrily: "As an elder brother, you must be in front of him. We can't let others laugh at us, which is contrary to moral ethics!" Listening to the words, everyone could tell that Brother Xiaoliang was cheating on Chen Ke.
Not satisfied.
"I know..." Erlang suddenly wilted. Although Su Baniang no longer refused to stay away from others, it would take some time to completely warm her heart. Originally, he planned to cook this pot of rice.
It was cooked and eaten slowly. Now it seems that it can only be eaten raw.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chen Xiliang's worries were correct. In the Runan Palace, Zhao Zongshi had learned about these four edicts and discussed them with several brothers.
"Do you think that by first promoting him and then demoting him, you can silence everyone?" Zhao Zonghui hated Chen Ke to the core. Whenever he mentioned him, Baozhun gritted his teeth: "What's more, inside and outside, he is not only indifferent.
Not to mention, I also got a scarlet-robed silver fish Juyang man. Not to mention the blessing of Qi Ren hugging him from left to right! Why did he get all the good things?!"
"Is it so easy to enjoy the blessings of Qi people?" Zhao Zongyi, who suffered from the unrest at home, disagreed: "There have been examples of both ends being equal in ancient times, but which one has a good ending? What's more, with Liu Yue'e's temperament, she won't fight.
That girl from the Su family has a bruised nose and a swollen face? Sansu is not a vegetarian. When the time comes, no one will need to stir up trouble. They will also have to sue the officials. When the time comes, the person named Chen will not be able to eat and walk around!"
The ancients said that "Xiu Qi Zhi Ping", an official who can't even manage his family's home will be considered incompetent, let alone a responsible person for the country. Therefore, a single charge of "lax family governance" can ruin Chen's life.
Ke's political life.
"That makes sense. I can't wait to see his good show." Zhao Zongyou said with a smile: "Besides, I think the officials don't think highly of him, otherwise they wouldn't send him to the martial arts academy. Who can do that mess?"
If you can clean it up, it is inevitable that you will be laughed at in the end." In this era, culture was valued over martial arts, and he served as Imperial College Imperial Academy. He was regarded as a noble person, but if he was in charge of martial arts, he was regarded as having no future, so he
You will feel that Chen Ke went to the martial arts academy and was relegated to the cold palace by the emperor.
"It's better not to be careless. Those guys are very treacherous." Zhao Zongshi shook his head with a gloomy face and said, "Who knows what the conspiracy is?" He was still worried about what happened in the past few days, thinking that Zhao Zongji and his son were deliberately trying to trouble him. .
"That's right," Zhao Zongyou nodded and said, "To be fair, that guy Chen Ke is extremely capable. Zhao Zongji owes everything to him for what he is today. If we kill him, Zhao Zongji will have no hope. So, we have to work hard." , let him be buried with the martial arts academy."
"Well, you really can't be careless." Zhao Zongshi nodded, but changed the topic: "However, we still put the overall situation first, try not to do anything, wait for him to make mistakes..." The hypocrite is most afraid of being generous, he has always told himself , The sky is wide open for a while, and when I securely take up that position, no matter how capable Chen is, I can control him at will.
"Alas..." Zhao Zonghui sighed depressedly. He would not dare to go out until Chen Ke was done.
"Okay," Zhao Zongshi didn't want to mention Chen Ke anymore, so he changed the topic and said, "When will Mr. Long arrive in Beijing?"
"Someone else would have arrived a long time ago, but he is old and does not dare to rush." Zhao Zongyi, who has been keeping a close eye on this matter, said: "Moreover, isn't it just to build momentum when we invite him to Beijing? Walk slower on the road, Only those state and county officials along the way could make it to the meeting."
"Yeah." Zhao Zongshi nodded and said with a worried look on his face: "But we'd better rush to Beijing. I heard that Wang Jiefu will be arriving soon." Zhang Dun came to the capital on behalf of Wang Anshi to make connections, but ended up running into Chen Ke's family. In the house, he took this move as a signal that this world-renowned official would seek refuge with Zhao Zongji.
In addition, Zhao Zongji recommended Wang Anshi as the third division judge, which further confirmed Zhao Zongshi's suspicion.
"Xiangong Han said, there is no need to worry or have any grudges against Wang Jiefu." Zhao Zongyi shook his head and said: "He said that Wang Anshi was of noble character and would not get involved. This matter was probably caused by Zhang Dun, who was dragged into it by Chen Sanlang. Come on, it is said that they are good friends. But Zhao Zongji tried his best to sell it, but at most it would only be a neutral return for Wang Anshi, which would not affect us at all."
"Well..." Zhao Zonghui felt relieved now and sighed: "If father is in better health, it will save us the trouble of guessing." Zhao Yunrang was already seriously ill, and Zhao Zongfu's death hit his spirit hard, so during this period He has been bedridden. The imperial doctor ordered him to rest and not worry.
"I hope so." Zhao Zongshi sighed: "But you have to be prepared for the worst..." To say that he has no feelings for his father is absolutely a lie. After all, the old man has paid too much for him. .But the difficulties he encountered in reality made him even more anxious - if Zhao Yunrang died at this moment, then as a rule, he would have to worry about it!
Two years and three months is really too long, enough to wipe out a person’s previous efforts! You still have to watch others’ progress helplessly in your hometown!
You say that you are sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you are afraid that you will come back in three years, Zhao Zongji will have already taken the lead.
"Yeah." Hearing what he said, Zhao Zongyi felt unhappy, but he couldn't put it on his face and said, "But my father said that you don't have to worry. Misfortunes depend on blessings. Who knows if this is not a good thing."
"Am I one of those unfilial people?" Hearing his father thinking so much about himself, Zhao Zongshi felt a little ashamed and said, "What I just meant was that I wanted to serve him at the bedside."
Everyone thought that this was just a human saying, Zhao Zongyou said: "Thirteenth brother, you are right, you have a saying that 'a son who is not a filial son is not a loyal minister'. I think people all over the world are looking at you. If you feel a little tired, you will It may be a little tiring, but you can earn a good reputation."
"How can you be so utilitarian to your own father?" Zhao Zongshi shook his head and said, "Here's the order. From now on, no singing, no drinking, no quarreling or making noise are allowed in the house. Violators will be severely punished." Pause and look. See all the brothers saying: "There is a saying that 'a son wants to be taken care of, but his family will not wait for him.' In order to avoid this regret, I will put aside all my work and wait for my father's death at his bedside. All external matters will depend on you."
"Okay." Everyone nodded, but sneered in their hearts, it seems that dad will become your show tool for the time being.
In fact, Zhao Yun had more sons, and one person would serve him for a day and not take care of him for a month. But in order to help Zhao Zongshi create an image of pure and filial piety, everyone stopped competing with him.
Zhao Zongshi kept his word, and he set up a small bed in his father's bedroom that day and set up camp here, so that whenever Zhao Yunrang made any noise, he could hear it and deal with the situation immediately.
However, Zhao Yunrang's body has collapsed and he cannot take care of himself. He has to eat, drink and urinate on the bed. Zhao Zongshi actually feeds his father water and food every day, carries his feces and urine, and scrubs his body without using others' hands. Zhao Yunrang's illness He was so violent that he would sometimes not recognize people and even hit them, but Zhao Zongshi always greeted them with a smile and accepted them.
His filial piety quickly spread throughout the capital, and naturally won rave reviews. With some people sparing no effort to spread the word, it actually reached the ears of officials and couples... Well, that person was Zhao Zongji's wife Gao Taotao, She was the niece of Empress Cao. She was raised in the palace as a child and was deeply loved by the official couple. Her marriage to Zhao Zongshi was facilitated by the official couple.
After getting married, Gao Taotao still often went to the palace to accompany the lonely and bored Empress Cao. When women met, they just chatted. Gao Taotao never left Zhao Zongshi, and he would brag about it if nothing happened, let alone such a glorious act of pure filial piety. ?
Empress Cao was deeply moved after hearing this and believed that she was right. Xiao Shisan was really a filial son. But when she mentioned this to the officials, Zhao Zhen sneered and did not make any comments.
Time passed like this day by day, and in the blink of an eye it was August. On this day, Zhao Zongshi led a group of brothers, dozens of palace staff and Qing guests, together with representatives from three provinces and six ministries, went out of the city for twenty miles to welcome the arrival of Long Changqi.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that on the same day, Wang Anshi and his family entered Beijing quietly in an inconspicuous carriage.
