Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 167: One word wakes up the dreamer
Although this practice brings true knowledge, you can't govern the country with a hot head, a slap on the thigh, roll up your sleeves, and do it right.
A policy mistake may cost countless lives.
Therefore, when ministers offer advice to the emperor, they will first come up with a complete set of theories as a basis.
But their theories all have one similarity, that is, they emphasize imperial power.
Whether it is Legalism or Confucianism, it is the same.
Because the object they want to persuade is the emperor, if the emperor does not benefit, how can he agree.
Zhang Fei is no exception.
Although he emphasized weakening the imperial power, he also emphasized weakening the power of the ministers. Power is relative. As long as you weaken more than me, it means that I have become stronger.
It's just that he introduced the concept of public power.
Turn a two-player game into a three-player game.
This is like two adults fighting in the original arena. The outcome is unpredictable and very dangerous.
Now change the rules and become a junior high school student and two elementary school students. Although the total weight is the same, it is obviously safer than two adults fighting in the ring. For a primary school student, the chances of winning are even greater.
The trick lies in how to divide and make yourself more dominant.
It happened to be between Wang Anshi and Sima Guang.
Wang Anshi emphasized power, while Sima Guang emphasized balance.
Zhang Fei is just in the middle.
Of course, Zhang Fei just helped Zhao Xu open a door, giving him another path to choose from.
But Zhao Xu has to choose which door to go.
After all, Zhang Fei is just an asshole, not even an official, and it is precisely because of this that he dared to say these words, and after speaking, he was able to retreat unscathed.
"Grandfather!"
"Third brother!"
Just after leaving the imperial city, I saw Feng Nanxi and Niu Beiqing walking over.
"Old Seven, Daniel, why are you here?"
Zhang Fei asked.
Feng Nanxi said: "Just now that Ya Nei and Xiao Ma told our family that Engong won the lawsuit and we wanted to celebrate Engong. Only then did we know that the lawsuit was over. It can be seen that Engong has not returned for a long time, so we came here Take a look."
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes, "What's the use of worrying? Are you going to get in?"
Feng Nanxi was so frightened that her legs went limp immediately, the imperial city is behind, "This... how dare we do this."
"That's it, you all come out, who will protect Madam?" Zhang Fei asked angrily.
The matter of Fang Yun taught him a lesson. He is very sensitive about this aspect.
Before the words fell, someone shouted from the carriage: "Husband."
I saw Gao Wenyin bowing out from the carriage.
"Madam is here too!"
Zhang Fei walked over immediately.
Gao Wenyin smiled sarcastically: "I'm the one who is worried about my husband, Daniel and Seventh Brother just sent me here."
Zhang Fei's expression changed, and he said with a smile, "I'm sorry for making Madam worry."
Feng Nanxi and Niu Beiqing immediately looked at Zhang Fei with question marks on their faces.
"This is what I should do." Gao Wenyin nodded slightly, then looked around again, "Where is Mrs. Xu? Isn't she with you?"
Zhang Fei said: "Mistress Xu and his father have gone to Liu She's house."
Gao Wenyin nodded slightly, and suddenly remembered something, "That's right! Li Si, quickly get out the wine."
"Hey!"
Li Si took out a jug of wine from the carriage, "Third brother, drink slowly, it's a little hot."
"Hot?"
Zhang Fei almost kicked it, "Are you crazy? In this weather, why don't you bring me a pot of hot wine?"
Gao Wenyin said in astonishment: "Isn't this what your husband asked for?"
Zhang Fei also looked surprised, "I asked for it?"
Gao Wenyin nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Is it my husband who asked me to warm up the wine and wait for you to come back to celebrate?"
"Huh? This...."
Zhang Fei scratched his head, thinking, if I knew you were so obedient, I would have let you take off your clothes and wait for me on the bed, alas... What a mistake!
......
When the group returned home, Xiao Tao had already prepared a sumptuous celebration banquet.
Zhang Fei asked Li Si to visit Xu's house again, and if Xu Zhiqian and the others came back, he would invite them to eat together.
But it's a pity that Xu's servants told Li Si that Xu Zun and Xu Zhiqian hadn't come back.
This made Zhang Fei somewhat regretful, after all Xu Zhiqian was the number two hero, without her, it would be less interesting.
But fortunately, Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi, the two live treasures, came again. With them two, the atmosphere rose immediately.
However, what Zhang Fei didn't know was that Xu Zhiqian had actually returned home.
The Xu family.
"Daddy!"
Xu Zhiqian looked at Xu Zun in confusion, "Just now you said you were going to visit Uncle Liu's house, but you didn't go in the end, and now you deliberately lied to Zhang San that we were not at home, why...why? Could it be that Dad is afraid that being with Zhang San will affect Dad's career?"
"Bastard!" Xu Zun glared at her, "Is Daddy that kind of person?"
"Why is that?" Xu Zhiqian asked curiously.
Xu Zun stroked his beard and said, "Qian'er, you can't always follow Zhang San around here and there."
Xu Zhiqian asked in surprise, "Why?"
Xu Zundao: "Now you are a girl waiting to be married. In the public, you and Zhang San are hugging each other. If it is spread, who will dare to marry you?"
Xu Zhiqian excitedly said: "Daddy, how can you miss your daughter so much? At that time, it was because she was nervous and couldn't walk. Zhang San just kindly supported her."
Xu Zun sighed: "Daddy believes in you, but others don't think so!"
Xu Zhiqian snorted, "I don't care."
Xu Zundao: "What? Are you going to never marry for the rest of your life?"
Xu Zhiqian hesitated for a moment: "This daughter hasn't thought about it, but she doesn't want to marry yet."
Xu Zun raised his eyebrows and said: "The male college should be married, and the female college should be married. At your age, if you don't get married, how decent is it? I will talk to Zhang San later, and you won't go to the lawyer." firm."
"No!"
Xu Zhiqian shouted excitedly.
Xu Zun was startled, and looked at his daughter, "Qian'er, tell Dad honestly, you and Zhang San...?"
Xu Zhiqian said with a cute face, "What about Zhang San?"
Xu Zundao: "Have you fallen in love with Zhang San?"
"How is that possible?"
Xu Zhiqian screamed in fright, and felt her hairs stand on end, "How could daddy think that way, how could my daughter fall in love with that apprentice."
Xu Zundao: "It's not that Dad is just thinking about it, it's just that Dad's colleagues think so. Besides, think about it for yourself, after you met Zhang San, you didn't go out with Yinger and the others. I've been following Zhang San all day long."
Xu Zhiqian thought for a while, as if some changes had taken place in her life, she frowned and said, "Daddy should know that my daughter is busy with business with Zhang San, and it's not what they think."
"If that wasn't the case, how could daddy allow you to go to court to argue with Zhang San?" Having said that, Xu Zun said again: "But you can't go on like this forever, you are going to marry after all, that's all for now Stop it!"
"Daddy...?"
"This is Daddy's job."
Xu Zun said with a serious face: "Think about it, as long as you can decide on your own, when did daddy interfere with you, isn't daddy not tolerant enough to you?"
Xu Zhiqian bit her lip and remained silent.
Xu Zun said again: "But the important matter of a daughter's marriage here is the responsibility of the parents. If Dad doesn't help you find a good home, how will he face your mother in the future."
Although Xu Zhiqian was very reluctant, she still nodded: "My daughter understands."
Xu Zun hummed: "Daddy has asked Uncle Liu to help you find out. If there is any news, Daddy will discuss it with you first."
In fact, he is very open-minded, but he will not give in on some principled issues.
Nowadays, major marriage matters are ordered by the parents, and the children cannot handle them by themselves. Xu Zun also thinks that this is his responsibility, so naturally he cannot let his daughter be willful.
In fact, Xu Zun still gave Xu Zhiqian some freedom of choice. Children of the same age as Xu Zhiqian are already married. It's so procrastinating.
This time Xu Zun also made up his mind.
Xu Zhiqian also knows his father very well, and Xu Zun has already said so, which means that there is no room for maneuver in this matter.
......
In the evening.
There was thunderous snoring in Zhang's courtyard, Niu Beiqing was sleeping soundly lying on the table, while Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi sandwiched Zhang Fei in the middle, with one hugging his waist and the other hugging his arms.
"Hey, hey! What are you two doing hugging me, let go, go home and hug me."
Zhang Fei didn't drink much, Niu Beiqing and Feng Nanxi were drinking with them, and now those two are almost gone, so he can only deal with the aftermath by himself.
There was no other way, Zhang Fei could only carry the two of them to the door.
"Hi... no, no, I haven't had enough time in this yamen, let's go to the Piaoxiang Building to drink and call seven or eight singing girls... hiccup."
"Grass! I didn't say it earlier. Now that you are all virtuous, if you go, you must run the order and go again next time."
"Third brother, do you really forget your friends because of sex?" Ma Xiaoyi muttered as he leaned into Zhang Fei's arms.
Zhang Fei wondered: "What do you forget about friends?"
Ma Xiaoyi murmured: "Why do you always bring Mrs. Xu with you? I can also help you with the lawsuit. I don't want money. I just ask you to bring me with you."
"Okay, okay, I'll take you there next time. Don't act cute when you're so old."
When he spoke, he had already reached the door. Zhang Fei twisted his body, pulled the two of them apart with all his strength, pushed them into Taozi's arms, and then jumped back one by one, closing the door.
"Phew... it can be regarded as giving away these two treasures."
Zhang Fei let out a long sigh of relief, and suddenly glanced at the Xu family, thinking, Engong and the others should be back. But if she comes back, Xu Zhiqian will definitely come to my house! It can't be that my lawsuit has affected Engong, right?
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, so he decided to ask.
When she came to the back door, she just pushed the door open when she saw Xu Zhiqian leaning on the edge of the door, and when she saw him coming, she just glanced at him indifferently.
"What happened?" Zhang Fei asked nervously.
Xu Zhiqian glanced at him, but remained silent.
Zhang Fei said anxiously: "You said it!"
Xu Zhiqian twitched the corner of her mouth, with tears in her eyes, and said in frustration: "I won't be able to help in a law firm in the future."
"Why?" Zhang Fei asked eagerly, "Did my lawsuit affect your family?"
Xu Zhiqian shook her head, looked at Zhang Fei coyly, "I...I told you, you are not allowed to laugh."
"Laughing at you...?"
Zhang Fei almost didn't say "laugh at your sister", but rolled his eyes: "Am I such a ruthless person? Tell me now!"
Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips: "Yes... I am getting married."
"Huh? Marry...marry someone?"
Zhang Fei was stunned.
He thought that he had brought the Xu family into trouble, but he never thought that it was Xu Zhiqian who was going to marry.
Xu Zhiqian nodded.
Zhang Fei wanted to laugh, but couldn't, "Are you going to get married at such a young age?"
Xu Zhiqian straightened up, "I'm not young anymore."
Zhang Fei glanced at her chest, "Indeed...it's not small." He asked again, "Who are you going to marry?"
When I asked this sentence, I felt like being cuckolded, which is really strange.
Xu Zhiqian shook her head: "I don't know yet, my father has asked Uncle Liu to help me find out."
Zhang Fei frowned and said, "So Engong is deliberately keeping you away from me today?"
Xu Zhiqian hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, Dad is also doing it for my own good."
"Of course I know."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Fei sighed and leaned against the edge of the door.
Xu Zhiqian glanced at him, "Why are you sighing?"
"I..." Zhang Fei shrugged his shoulders: "We are so in tune, we even killed the Kaifeng Mansion, the Court of Justice, and the Political Affairs Hall, and our career is booming. Let me sigh."
Xu Zhiqian sighed lightly: "Who says it's not, in fact, I don't want to marry so early either."
Zhang Fei straightened up and asked, "Didn't you tell Engong?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "Why didn't you say it, but the important matter of marriage is the order of the parents, and I can't make the decision."
"That's true." Zhang Fei nodded and collapsed back again.
Xu Zhiqian glanced at Zhang Fei, "Zhang San, you are so good at talking, can you help me talk to my father."
Zhang Fei was very entangled: "Other things are easy to talk about, but this matter...."
Seeing that he was very embarrassed, Xu Zhiqian nodded, "That's right, you can't help me with this."
Looking at her depressed look, Zhang Fei softened his heart and said, "If you really don't want to marry, then let me help you think about it?"
"Thank you!" Xu Zhi thanked softly, but she also knew how Zhang Fei could help with this kind of thing, and said again: "Zhang San, although I can't go to the law firm to help, but you promise me But you can't go back on your word."
Zhang Fei asked: "What's the matter?"
Xu Zhiqian excitedly said: "It is to help the poor to file a lawsuit for free. This is what you promised me at the beginning, so I am willing to help you."
Zhang Fei casually said: "Don't worry, using the poor to make money from the rich has always been my idea, how could I give up."
Xu Zhiqian gave him a gouged look, "I'm going back."
After that, the back door was closed.
'Hey... oh...! "
Back in the courtyard, Zhang Fei sat at the messy wine table, feeling inexplicably upset, poured a glass of wine, and drank it down.
"Husband."
"Huh?"
Zhang Fei was startled, turned his head to look, and saw Gao Wenyin walking over with a rag, looking at him worriedly.
"Husband, is there something bothering you?" Gao Wenyin asked warmly when she came to the table.
"No...."
Zhang Fei forced a smile: "I encountered some difficult things."
I have to say that Gao Wenyin is a very good person to confide in.
Gao Wenyin asked again: "Is it related to Mrs. Xu?"
Zhang Fei looked at her in surprise, "Why would Madam say that?"
Gao Wenyin said: "When I was having dinner just now, my husband was absent-minded, and I even glanced at the back door from time to time."
"Really?"
Zhang Fei was surprised.
He didn't realize it himself.
Gao Wenyin nodded, and smiled again: "Your husband can have such achievements at such an age, how can I be worthy of your husband, in fact, everyone can see that your husband and Mrs. Xu are a match made in heaven. pair."
Although she calls her husband, Zhang Fei is more of a benefactor in her heart. As a bystander, she has already seen that Xu Zhiqian and Zhang Fei are a real couple.
Zhang Fei frowned, pondered for a while, and suddenly looked at Gao Wenyin, "Madam really awakened the dreamer with one word!"
Gao Wenyin smiled slightly, and heard Zhang Fei say again: "Yes! I am so good, how can I be worthy of just one wife, this will spill over, at least three or five wives are needed to barely match me Excellent."
"...?"
Gao Wenyin looked at him dumbfounded.
......
Cao Mansion!
"Where did you go to drink again, bastard?"
Cao Ping looked at Cao Dongdong who had been brought back by Taozi and the others, and his anger came to his face when he saw it.
Cao Dongdong first smirked at Cao Ping, then said in confusion: "Zhang San won the lawsuit, let's help celebrate."
Cao Ping frowned, "Didn't I tell you that you haven't been in touch with Zhang San recently, why don't you listen."
"No!"
Cao Dongdong suddenly puffed up his eyes and stared at his father, "That's impossible."
Taozi next to him panicked and said in a low voice, "Ya Nei, you drank too much."
The corners of Cao Ping's mouth twitched, and he asked sullenly, "What did you say?"
"No way!" Cao Dongdong raised his head and said extremely arrogantly: "As long as Zhang San is here, even if I break the law, I won't be punished by my aunt, hahaha...!"
"You bastard...?"
Cao Ping suddenly raised his hand, and suddenly frowned, yes! Zhang San only has an ear pen. If he, Wang Jiefu, can invite it, why can't I, Cao Ping, invite it? Immediately put down his hands, took a look at Cao Dongdong, and said with a smile: "You are quite clever."
"That's it."
Cao Dongdong proudly shook his big tongue and said, "Although my father told me to avoid contact with Zhang San, as long as I can make my aunt happy, would my father dare to beat me? My father saw that my aunt's legs were weaker than mine. It's even better. Haha..."
Crack!
"Hey! Who hit me."
