The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 69: Bianjing
Yun Yan replied: "I-I am the president of the Tokyo Branch of Zhanzhao National Support Association!"
Bao Zheng: "???"
After Yun Yan replied, she also said something in her heart, the president of the Shentm Support Association.
But he couldn't think of how to describe it for a while, so he bit the bullet and said: "Shaoyin, you don't even know about young people. I often tell his story, there are many people all over the country who admire him, but they can't fight side by side, they can only help silently in the back or in their hearts..."
Hey, you don't support silently, are you waving a cheering stick beside Zhan Zhao Xingxia when he is fighting for justice?
Bao Zheng was hit by the sentence "Shao Yin, you don't know about young people anymore", and he was hit hard. He was only ten years older than Brother Yan! It turns out that Brother Yan no longer regards them as a generation?
"I see... I didn't expect Zhanyi Shi to have so many admirers. I'll introduce you when I have a chance in the future." After Bao Zheng was sad, he asked curiously, "Then you support club Tokyo How many people will there be in the club?”
"At the moment, there is only one president of this club," Yun Yan replied calmly, "Shao Yin, do you want to join the club?"
Bao Zheng: "..."
Yunyan replied: "I have to pay the usual membership fee..."
"..." Bao Zheng shook his head and said, "You scumbag, I almost fell for you, thinking that you really set up a strange alliance to support Zhan Zhao."
Yunyan replied innocently: "This is more powerful. After all, there is no one around me who admires Zhan Daxia as much as I do. I seem to have a lot of face when I say this."
He felt that Bao Zheng's expression was like saying "you're happy", so he laughed a few times.
As soon as Bao Zheng came back, the work of the guards and the army was finished.
The people they caught here were handed over to the Kaifeng Mansion for management on the spot, and then Bao Zheng personally sent them back.
Before leaving, Yun Yanhui also said to Zhou Huilin, "Although you didn't help much this time, thank you and your brothers."
This time, Zhou Huilin spent most of his time recuperating, and the laxative really took half his life away. Hearing Yun Yanhui's words at this time, his face was also extremely ugly.
Yunyan replied: "Hehe, do we count as meeting and laughing away our grudges?"
Zhou Huilin: "Damn it!! Don't even think about it!!!"
Zhou Huilin walked away angrily.
Yunyan returned to the place and said to herself: "If you have the final say, I will give you the antidote. Now I can't blame me..."
So he returned to Zhou Huilin in the forbidden army camp, and he continued to stretch his stomach for three days without any medicine.
……
Originally, after Bao Zheng returned to Beijing, according to everyone's thoughts, it was inevitable that he and Pang Taishi would have a **** fight, or that Renzong wanted to borrow Bao Zheng and Pang Taishi to have a **** fight.
However, something unexpected disrupted everyone's arrangements.
The first woman in the Song Dynasty to be in charge of the imperial court, Empress Dowager Liu, who had been in bed for several months, died of illness. The news was like a thunderbolt, causing waves in the imperial court.
Liu E, Empress Dowager Liu, is really a legendary woman. She was born in humble beginnings. She was married to a craftsman. The real queen. Even after Zhenzong's death, when Renzong was young, she became the regent empress dowager, the most powerful woman in the Song Dynasty.
Empress Dowager Liu is indeed capable, but as Renzong grew up, she was greedy for power and unwilling to return to power, and there was still a rift between mother and son.
The courtiers kept persuading the queen to return to power. More than two years ago, Empress Liu reluctantly returned to the harem, but she still had influence on the government and did not let go completely.
In order to govern smoothly, Empress Liu wooed courtiers and designated Pang Taishi's daughter as the queen. It was precisely because of her that she was pressing on it that Renzong could not let go of Pang Taishi, and Pang Taishi echoed with Liu Hou in the court, which also made Liu Hou still have influence.
For Renzong, Empress Liu was indeed his mother, but for an emperor, it was even more of a shadow.
After Empress Liu died, Taishi Pang panicked, and Renzong was in a complicated mood.
And the matter is not over yet, the funeral ceremony of Empress Liu has begun. After more than ten years of seclusion, the eight kings, Zhao Yunchu's father, Zhao Yuanyan, suddenly entered the palace to ask for a meeting, and reported to the official family that Empress Liu was not his biological mother. His biological mother was Concubine Li Chen, who passed away last year.
It is said that Renzong was so shocked that he summoned some old courtiers to inquire, and learned that the truth was indeed the case.
At that time, Empress Liu could not give birth to a child, but Zhenzong wanted her to be the empress. When Concubine Li became pregnant, he made her falsely claim to be pregnant. The merits of the emperor's heir were conferred upon her.
Liu Empress was busy with government affairs, so Renzong handed over to a concubine Yang Shu in the harem to raise him. Therefore, for so many years, although Renzong felt that he was not close to his mother, he did not doubt the relationship between the two. He only thought that it was because he was raised by Yang Niangniang since he was a child and did not get along much.
As for Concubine Li, she was not very well born. She was originally Empress Liu's maid, and she borrowed her belly for Empress Liu. After giving birth to a prince, she was unknown. After Zhenzong died, she was moved to the emperor's mausoleum until she died of illness. So that Renzong didn't even remember what his own mother looked like.
Originally, Empress Liu had the intention of imitating Empress Wu, but because of the obstruction of courtiers, she could not make the trip. Now that she knows that she is not even his own mother, she is sour, only Renzong himself knows.
As soon as Empress Liu passed away, the limelight turned, and officials began to speak ill of her, accusing her of treating Concubine Li harshly and condoning her family.
Nevertheless, Renzong added a title to Empress Liu, after all, she was the empress of Zhenzong. And her own mother, Concubine Li, could no longer be wronged, and was posthumously named Empress Zhuang Yi.
In this way, the whole world knows that the official biological mother is someone else, and it is a lot of gossip.
In the harem, the nominal mother and biological mother of the official family had all died, and it should have been Pang Niangniang's biggest. However, before the joy of the first person in Pang Niangniang's harem had been enjoyed for a few days, Renzong suddenly claimed that Empress Liu said before his death He wanted to honor Yang Niangniang, who had raised him, as the empress dowager, and then with a squeak, he put the hat of Empress Dowager Baoqing on Yang Niangniang's head.
Hey, a big Buddha appeared on Pang Niangniang out of thin air again, and she had no choice but to lie down and be the second child again.
At this time, Emperor Renzong also rewarded Gongsun Ce, Chao Dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu of Kaifeng House for their official positions, saying that they did a good job. And these people are clearly the ones who went to Chenzhou with Bao Zheng last time and killed Pang Yu.
Pang Taishi, who originally wanted to roll up his sleeves and beat Bao Zheng, was beaten like this, but at this time he had to calm down and be as quiet as a chicken, so as not to be thrown into the street.
……
The power of the court has changed, and the city of Tokyo is surging, but for a small official in Kaifeng, Yun Yanhui, nothing has changed. It's just the difference between Bao Zheng being busy and being more busy.
Yun Yanhui is busy harvesting grapes, and the people leading the back kitchen have processed them and made wine.
During this process, there were constant voices of doubt.
"Can you really make wine without adding koji?"
"Isn't this really grape juice..."
"Don't waste such good grapes."
There are so many voices, but Yun Yanhui has always worked hard to slap her face. After two decades, she told them with practical actions that wine does not need koji!
This is really an uproar in Kaifeng Mansion. It turns out that there have been few good wines in the Central Plains. It is precisely because the winemaking method is wrong. This wine does not need and cannot be added with koji.
There was another round of cheers, and the Kaifeng House Cafeteria had another unique signboard.
Although the Empress Dowager just passed away and couldn't have a banquet, Yun Yanhui still brewed some of the wine for the second time, put some of the wine away, and took out the other part to teach you how to make casserole wine duck.
In this city of Tokyo, for the time being, only the cafeteria in Kaifeng Prefecture is willing to use good wine to cook this dish. One plate requires a pot of wine. Many people can't believe it when they eat it.
Although most people knew that the official family granted winemaking rights, they never thought that they could actually make wine in their house. Some time ago, everyone who picked grapes in the cafeteria thought they were selling them. Who knew they would be used to make wine? I've cooked for them. I heard that Shaoyin will make a rule for everyone to share wine and drink.
Some low-level officials were moved to tears. Since Shao Yin took office, their lives have changed so much. He used to be an evil official and a running dog. He was afraid and hated wherever he went, but now he follows Bao Shaoyin, and the people look good on them. Come set close.
Now when I go out and say that I belong to Kaifeng Mansion, other people's eyes will be different. When visiting relatives, you only need to save one dish from the two meals a day and bring it with you, which will save you face.
For extra money, not to mention, Shao Yin is very reasonable and does not prohibit some people from reselling their share.
The news has already spread before the grape wine is on the menu. Now everyone thinks that even the same thing, the quality of the Kaifeng canteen will be better. After all, that dish is eaten by Shao Yin every day, and the official family has also tasted it!
……
Because of the large amount of wine made, Yun Yanhui had to connect with the people in Cangcao, trying every means to stuff the wine into the warehouse to occupy space. After being so busy for a month, I found that Zhao Yunchu and Zheng Ling hadn't seen each other for a long time. In the past, these two people would come to talk to him when they passed by Kaifeng Mansion from time to time.
It just so happened that he himself had prepared a few jars for his own wine making this time, so he took one jar and sent it to the Wangfu and Zheng's house.
Only when I got to the door did I find out that Zheng Ling was having trouble with his family recently. He was unhappy at Honglu Temple. Recently, his family forced him to improve a little bit, and Honglu Temple was busy with receiving envoys, and he still had to learn When he learned foreign languages, his head was too big.
Zheng Ling clamored to enter the Hanlin Painting Academy and become a professional painter.
Hanlin Painting Academy is both leisurely and in line with his interests, but where will he be promoted in the future? It is absolutely impossible to be a dean. Of course, the Zheng family is not happy, and is now crying and fighting with the family.
As for Zhao Yunchu, it's even more incredible. He is actually confined to study at home with his brothers, except for the court.
You must know that the princess has always held a mentality of "enjoy wealth and honor if you succeed, and enjoy wealth and honor if you fail" to them, especially Zhao Yunchu.
Seeing them study hard, Yun Yan is naturally scared to go back.
The princess received Yun Yanhui in person, happily accepted the jar of wine, and asked someone to take him to see Zhao Yunchu.
Zhao Yunchu and his three older brothers were sitting in the study together and reading books. When Yun Yanhui, who he hadn't seen for a long time, appeared, he looked at him without crying, "Brother Yan..."
"Little brother, why are you crying?" Zhao Yundi was refreshed and rubbed his hands, "It's been a long time since I haven't seen Brother Yan, it seems to be getting more and more beautiful, hehe."
Yunyan replied: "..."
Yun Yanhui shuddered when she heard that hehe two lewd laughs.
Zhao Yunchu: "Third Brother...==||"
Zhao Yundi looked at the faces of Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu, and felt a little embarrassed. He put down his hands again and said embarrassingly: "Oh, I'm rude, I'm rude, I haven't been able to go out to have fun for more than a month, and I'm impulsive... "
Yunyan replied: "..."
Yun Yanhui knew that he was a fool, so he greeted everyone nonchalantly and said, "Kaifeng House made some wine, I'll bring a jar over here to see you by the way, I didn't expect you to show up for so long, yes Study hard at home?"
"Brother Yan, I thought you didn't remember me..." Zhao Yunchu glanced at him resentfully, "Dad invited a gentleman to us and asked us to supplement the poetry book, I don't know why."
The eldest brother of the Zhao family, Zhao Yunxi, said slowly at this time: "I heard that it seems that the official family intends to recruit the children of the clan and should be relocated."
Children of the clan are born with names and officials. Their promotions are different from other courtiers, and they are related to blood. They do not need to take exams, and they are not allowed to take exams. Although the call-up test is a special test, if Renzong really allows the clan to conduct the call-up test, it will also give them a new promotion route.
Zhao Yundi said hesitantly: "No way... The official family is full..." Halfway through, he quickly shut up.
The fact that the clan can become an official without participating in the imperial examination is a kind of preferential treatment, and it is not a kind of imprisonment. Now I want to make a small slit, but I don't know why?
Zhao Yundi rolled his eyes a few times, and looked at his brothers a few times, knowing what he knew, but he didn't dare to say it. Their father has been in seclusion for so long, and suddenly he came out to expose the secrets of the royal family.
Have the official family lived for so long and spent more than 20 years in the palace, do you really have no clue about your own life experience?
There must be something tricky here.
Yun Yan Hui didn't know what happened inside, so she had no idea at all and said, "That's also a good thing, no wonder Wang Ye and Wang Fei want to study hard with you."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Yundi smirked a few times, "You don't know, A-niang said that although this kid is smart, Yan Geer doesn't like to read, so I told my younger brother Wen Shu, these days, don't keep looking for you. If you want me to say, if you didn't come with wine today, I'm afraid A-Niang will shut you out, so as not to disturb the younger brother and not be able to calm down."
Yunyan replied: "..."
Yunyan replied with a resentful tone: "The concubine looks down upon others, I'm not good at reading, but it's not that I can't read!"
Zhao Yundi said "Huh": "You mean, you can read?"
Yunyan snorted back. Although he gave up studying, it was because his knowledge framework had already been set, and it was difficult to study ancient texts. And learning methods, especially test-taking methods, are common across thousands of years!
