A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 477: The Whole Family Is Having Porridge

Cao Yi felt that it was inappropriate for him to listen to this, so he resigned.

Zhang Baibian told what he saw after following him, and finally said: "He came home later and didn't tell his family about it."

He is a good person who does good deeds without leaving his name behind.

“Being willing to take action when others are in trouble, and not retreating when you know it’s a big trouble, this is courage.”

Zhao Zhen analyzed: "I gave the woman advice to go to the Beihai County Prince's Mansion, and used excessive loan sharking to suppress the big man. Later, I even used it to go to Kaifeng Mansion to persecute. This is a conspiracy. You have courage and strategy, but in the end you refuse. Receiving merit is humility, Shen An..."

When Shen An heard that he praised Zhao Zhongzhen, he felt happy, and the look on his face became more cheerful, which made Zhao Zhen couldn't help but smile.

"He has learned a lot from hanging out with you, okay."

Shen An tried his best to pretend to be calm and calm, and said calmly: "I'm just doing my duty, and I don't deserve the praise of an official."

Zhao Zhen sighed; "Zhao Yunrang scolded him all day long and ignored the matter. Thirteenth Lang was depressed and refused to take care of it. I thought the child was abandoned. Now it seems to be okay, no, it is very good. You have made a contribution... ...Don't be complacent, I haven't settled the accounts with you yet for the fight you caused, so be careful, if the credit is not enough, prepare to go to Xiongzhou."

Shen An was already very proud, knowing that Zhao Zhongzhen had passed this test, and he was even more convinced.

Seeing that he was happy, Zhao Zhen said, "Go."

"Escape!"

After he left, Zhao Zhen asked, "Is there anything suspicious?"

Zhang Baba shook his head and said: "No."

Zhao Zhen said happily: "That's good. I feel confident now and can sleep peacefully at night."

Zhang Baibian usually doesn't take the initiative to talk about things, but today he said: "Officials, if you can't sleep well, you can see the imperial doctor."

Zhao Zhen glanced at him in surprise and said: "I slept well, but I was thinking about giving birth to a prince, and at the same time I was worried that I wouldn't be able to give birth to a prince. When the time comes, my ancestors will have no one to rely on, and I will become a sinner of the Song Dynasty. Now that the big deal has been decided, Thirteenth Lang is smart, and Zhao Zhongzhen is also generous, so I feel at ease."

Zhang Ba8 nodded and then resigned. Zhao Zhen behind him murmured: "Is this Beihai County King... so extravagant?"

Chen Zhongheng said: "Guan family, how about... I go there?"

"That's fine."

Shen An walked all the way outside the palace, thinking about this boy Zhao Zhongzhen.

Are you brave and resourceful?

But why don’t you believe it?

How could that sinister kid play hero and save the beauty?

The mode he prefers is the beauty saving the hero!

Is it because there was no opening?

But he would still be interested in a girl even if he didn’t start bidding!

This is instinct. As long as the amount of hormone secretion is high enough, as long as the male hormone is high enough, you can't help but be interested in women.

This is the instinct given by God to human beings, no, this is the instinct given by God to animals. Otherwise, how can we reproduce the offspring if everyone is so restless?

Spring is here, and there are more streets in Bianliang City...

Heck, it’s early winter!

Shen An put aside the endless African savanna and those blue zebras and wildebeests in his mind.

Because he saw someone.

An acquaintance.

Ren Shouzhong was sneaking outside. Looking at his shrinking look, it was clear that he had a guilty conscience.

Is this guy going to do something bad?

Shen An followed quietly, and the chamberlain who accompanied him out of the palace also understood and remained silent.

Ren Shouzhong is too domineering. It would be great if we have a chance to see his scandal today!

The two followed them all the way, but Ren Shouzhong finally entered the Imperial City Division...

"The Saint...can't give orders to the Imperial City Division?"

Shen An was a little surprised, thinking that the old lady Queen Cao was probably getting carried away.

The chamberlain shook his head, "This is a taboo, impossible."

Only the officials can command the Imperial City Department. If the Queen or the Prime Minister can also command them, then the officials may be in danger.

Just like Zhang Juzheng in later generations could drive Jin Yiwei, this is a big taboo. Don't be happy for a while, but in the end the whole family will be together...

The two of them were puzzled, but Shen An couldn't stay in the palace for a long time, so they prepared to go out.

"I'm coming!"

The waiter felt itchy in his heart, but at this moment, he saw Ren Shouzhong coming out again, followed by several men.

"Hey, why is this man so... downcast?"

Ren Shouzhong looked a little downcast. Several men around him were laughing, and some were even sarcastic.

The chamberlain took a look and said, "They are from Bingjingwu. Why does Ren Douzhi hang out with them?"

The Ice Well Service is affiliated with the Imperial City Division, but it has nothing to do with secret agents.

The so-called ice well service is dedicated to fetching ice for the royal family. Every summer in Bianliang is hot, the officials and the women naturally have to use ice, so the Imperial City Department has a department called Ice Well Affairs.

They were probably worried about someone poisoning their hands and feet in the ice, so they put the Ice Well Service and the Imperial City Service together.

It's early winter now, and the water in Jinmingchi has not frozen yet, but the ice well workers have to check it every day. Once the lake freezes, they have to be ready to take action.

Why is Ren Shouzhong with them?

Shen An thought for a while and walked over.

"Hey! Isn't this Ren Douzhi?"

Ren Shouzhong looked up and saw Shen An, and his face immediately turned red.

Is this guy out of luck? Seeing that he didn't refute, Shen An couldn't help but be overjoyed, and pretended not to know: "Do you know that Ren is going to Jinming Pond to supervise them getting ice?"

Ren Shouzhong hesitated and said nothing. A man next to him smiled and said: "Ren Douzhi...Ren Douzhi is here to get ice from our Imperial City Department! The sage said that the first piece of ice this year must be given to Ren Douzhi." Take it and send it all the way to the palace..."

Damn it!

Did Ren Shouzhong offend Empress Cao?

Removing ice is not an easy task. You have to dig along the surrounding area, and you may accidentally fall into the ice hole.

After you cut the ice, you still have to carry it. Listen to this, these people are not allowed to help at that time.

This guy is out of luck.

Shen An was so happy that she handed over her hands and said: "Getting ice is such an important matter. The saint can think of Ren Douzhi, which shows how important Ren Douzhi is in her heart. Congratulations."

It’s so important!

Getting ice is a hard job!

Ren Shouzhong felt ashamed and angry, knowing that he was cheating when he expressed his loyalty to the officials, but it was unintentional!

It's someone's instinct to flatter someone, but he just said it to the wrong person for a moment. How could you, a saint, be so cruel?

And he also met his rival Shen An, who was really ashamed and embarrassed.

"Ren Douzhi slowly chipped the ice, and I went home to make a hot pot to eat. The weather is so cold, so I set up a hot pot at home, put some mutton in it, and got some water for dipping... By the way, I need some more Good wine, that taste... I wouldn't change it for a god!"

Shen An laughed and left, and several people from the Ice Well Service licked their lips, "Then Shen An is the reincarnation of the God of Cooking, and his hot pot must be extremely delicious. I really want to have a meal!"

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Ren Shouzhong couldn't help shivering, and then felt uncomfortable with the emptiness in his stomach.

It would be great to have a hot pot!

He sniffed and turned around to look at the palace sadly, praying that the queen would remember him soon and call him back.

Not far after leaving the imperial city, a few riders came from behind.

"Isn't this Ren Douzhi? It's rare!"

Chen Zhongheng reined in his horse, turned around and looked at Ren Shouzhong, and said in surprise: "Are you going to cut the ice? The saint is indeed kind..."

He looked serious and said: "Officials often say that people must be loyal, but some people just eat from the bowl and look at the pot, and only want to climb high branches, but this person must have this life! Otherwise... Shen What did An say?"

There was a chamberlain behind him and he said: "It seems like something...the wind blows away the eggshells, and the wealth is gone and people are happy. Being an official is the same as being a human being. You have to be calm and don't try to make excuses, so as not to end up in vain..."

Chen Zhongheng praised: "Look, look, these are the words of a talented man, how appropriate! You must remember it in the future and stop flattering others, otherwise you will be hurt!"

"Yes, don't worry, you all know that we are loyal to the officials, but we are unwilling to welcome others..."

"That's good, don't imitate some people... let's go!"

Ren Shouzhong stayed there. The people from the ice well service felt sorry for him, but they just sighed.

Everyone in the palace is a pitiful person. Ren Shouzhong is still in a high and powerful position. It's just that his family was punished for messing around. Maybe there will be a chance to turn around in the future.

Zhao Yunliang and his son were eagerly waiting for the news at home, and the manpower they sent out was also very powerful, constantly sending back the latest news.

"... Your Majesty, my uncle has left the palace, and he looks happy."

"Not punished?"

Zhao Zongjiang frowned and said: "The officials are very concerned about their relatives. Cao Yi's move this time can be called crazy. The officials actually let him go. What does this mean?"

Zhao Yunliang stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Besieging Ouyang Xiu's family is an offense to the official family. Cao Yi has merit but no fault."

The staff member came in with a confused look on his face: "Then Shen An hasn't come out yet."

"This is a good thing, maybe you are being scolded."

Zhao Zongjiang felt happy in his heart. His staff touched his stomach and hesitated for a moment, "Prince, I am very hungry."

Zhao Yunliang said that one must be pious to practice Taoism. Recently, he invited all the servants from the county prince's palace to join in fasting, and many of them ran away from hunger.

If it weren't for the fact that it's winter and it's hard to find work, the staff would all want to run away.

Zhao Zongjiang glanced at his father and said, "Dad, how about... let's have something to eat?"

He was also very hungry.

Zhao Yunliang thought for a while and said: "I have been very religious recently, so I have been blessed. Come on, let's all have some porridge."

"Thank you, Prince!"

As if the staff had been pardoned, they went out and shouted: "The king has ordered us to drink porridge. It's time to drink porridge!"

The lifeless county prince's palace suddenly stirred up. Many servants came out of the room and looked at the staff with a look of apprehension.

"real?"

There were tears in the eyes of the staff, "Really, the prince said that everyone in the house... would drink porridge!"

Those dull faces were filled with joy, and someone cheered, "The prince is wise!"

"Your Majesty, it's time for porridge!"

"Drink porridge!"

The cheers in the Prince's Mansion spread outside, and a passerby asked in surprise: "What's going on in this Prince's Mansion? Are you so happy to drink porridge...to drink porridge?"

The companion laughed and said: "Don't you know, this Huayuan County Prince's Mansion is a famous place for fasting in Bianliang. The father and son of the county prince devoted themselves to cultivating Taoism, so they went to fasting every now and then..."

"But what happened to the people in his house?"

"They are all following Bigu!"

"They all follow Bigu? Are their Taoist hearts so pious?"

"Pious shit, UU reading www.uukanshu.net is forced, so eating porridge is like Chinese New Year, I am so happy that I don't know why."

"Drink porridge!"

There were cheers in the Prince's Mansion, and then smoke rose from the kitchen.

While everyone was squatting outside the kitchen waiting for life-saving food, a servant quickly rushed into the house.

"Prince, Shen An was praised and said that he led Zhao Zhongzhen very well..."

The temperature in the Prince's Mansion dropped instantly, and everyone stared blankly over there.

After a long time, I heard Zhao Yunliang sigh and say: "This is because the Taoist heart is not strong...Today the whole house is closed...Half a day of fasting..."

"Drink porridge, I want to drink porridge later!"

Hope turned to despair, and those servants really wanted to run away.

But most of them are under contract, so where can you go?

When the smoke cleared, the cook was eating half-cooked rice. When those people noticed it, they swarmed over...

"Not yet cooked!"

"When it's cooked, I'll starve to death. Let's eat it later!"
