A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 179 Nosebleeds

"Awaiting the edict..."

Cao Yun stood with his hands tied like a small official.

Shen An rushed back from Taikang all the way, and now he just wanted to take leave and go home to see.

As for Cao Yun...

"Xiaguan didn't know how high the sky was in the past, so please wait for the imperial examination because Xiaguan is young and ignorant... The Cao family will be friends of the imperial examination in the future..."

There was a slight sense of superiority in these words, and he probably felt that Shen An had earned something now.

Moreover, Cao Yun is already in his thirties, yet he pretends to be young in front of the teenage Shen An. This feels really amazing.

Shen An frowned slightly, and Zhang Liufu next to him smiled and said: "Master Cao...waiting for the imperial edict...the official family has given him a lot of praise!"

Your Cao family is very good, but Shen An has the favor of the officials, so there is no need to flatter the Cao family.

At this moment, Cao Yun just wanted to slap himself. His cheeks trembled slightly and he said, "It's the official who said the wrong thing. The official...waiting for the edict, my family..."

He raised his head, took a look at Shen An's face, and then said: "A certain cousin... He has a seven-year-old son..."

Why is this man so hesitant in speaking?

"Cao family?"

Cao Yun nodded.

Shen An looked at him coldly and said, "What does a seven-year-old child have to do with Shen? You said this..."

When Cao Yun saw Shen An's unkind expression, he felt excited and quickly said, "He wants to marry your sister."

This kind of future life is called a baby kiss.

grass!

Shen An couldn't help being furious and said: "Although the Cao family is rich, I would rather marry my sister to an ordinary person than to have her struggle in such a family. That cousin of yours... a toad!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Cao Yun originally thought that this was good news for Shen An. After all, although the Cao family was not involved in politics, they were rich and respected, which could be called a good marriage.

But Shen An opened his mouth and called the Cao family toads, which was clearly because he looked down upon them.

You are just waiting for an edict. If the Cao family hadn't thought you had potential, how could they have proposed it in a subtle way?

Shen An glanced at him and asked, "He asked you to ask questions?"

Cao Yun was disgraced by Shen An earlier. How could his cousin come to him to send a message?

Shen An sneered in his heart, as long as Cao Yun dared to admit it, he would dare to continue to be cruel.

Cao Yun just smiled bitterly and said: "Waiting for the imperial edict, that cousin is somewhat close to the lower official... I heard about it while drinking."

I was complaining to my cousin that damn day and vowed to kill you. How dare he ask me to talk about this! That's not getting married, that's enmity.

Moreover, the Cao family has more than one son. The children of these old and powerful families who are gradually becoming decadent are basically the pawns of family marriages. They marry one by one and eventually form a big network. They can gain unlimited glory if they advance, but they can also retreat. Preserve the family.

Shen An is just starting to make his mark now. Although it's hard to say what the future will be, he can still be regarded as a potential stock. Cao Yun's cousin had many sons, so he naturally didn't care about using one of them to marry Shen An.

This is just an intention, so don't overthink it.

Shen An didn't think much, he stood up suddenly and went out.

"Awaiting the edict..."

If you are willing to admit defeat, Cao Yun is here to admit defeat.

But you, Shen An, have to give me an attitude, right?

You just walked away, what do you mean?

Regardless of Cao Yun's troubles and pain, Shen An went to Du Ziling to ask for leave.

"We all agree that the official has suffered from cold in Taikang..."

This guy looks rosy, how can he look like he's cold?

But Du Ziling just said with a straight face: "Have you finished the explanation?"

You, Shen An, are in charge of the fourth room of the Privy Council. It doesn't matter if you ask for leave, but you have to make proper arrangements.

Shen An nodded, and he was waiting to see who dared to act like a monster, and then he would turn around and slap him to death.

Du Ziling nodded. After Shen An left, the clerk next to him smiled and said, "I agree that Shen An will ask for leave when he comes back... He came to our Privy Council not long ago, and he has asked for leave many times."

This was a bit of an eye candy, but the clerk was sure that Du Ziling hated Shen An from the bottom of his heart, so he dared to say it.

Du Ziling glanced at him and said calmly: "The officials arranged for him to come here because they wanted to cause trouble. How many people in the Privy Council don't want to see him? He is smart, so he takes leave whenever he has nothing to do..."

The clerk was surprised, but he couldn't ask any more questions, otherwise he would be suspected of neglecting the superior officer.

Seeing the constipated look on his face, Du Ziling couldn't help but laugh, and then said, "But do you want to ask Prime Minister Song why he doesn't care?"

The clerk was considered to be Du Ziling's man, so when he saw that he was friendly, he said with saliva, "Yes! The officials don't care."

The Fourth Room of the Privy Council can be called a small fourth department, and such a department cannot be overemphasized.

But Shen An asked for leave every two days, and it was Chi Guoguo's lie. The people from the Imperial City Department must have reported it to him.

The officials don't care?

Du Ziling sighed: "Then Shen An is still young! If he were a serious government director, Your Majesty would have a headache."

The clerk was confused when he heard this, but then he thought about it and thought of the key point of the matter: "If he is a serious official, then the official family has to promote according to the rules... But he is still too young. Ah! If he does things efficiently, do the officials still have to find him a prime minister before he turns thirty?"

Du Ziling nodded slightly, feeling that this junior official had a good understanding and could focus on cultivating it in the future.

His brows furrowed slightly and he murmured: "That young man... is really nimble in what he does, and his future life will be formidable!"

In the palace, Zhao Zhen finished handling the political affairs and slowly went to the harem.

He first visited two pregnant women and listened to the imperial doctor's advice before he was satisfied.

"The official family...the saint's side..."

As Zhao Zhen's personal person, Chen Zhongheng felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to remind him: You haven't been to the official family and the saint for a long time.

As an emperor, it is necessary for him to be exposed to both rain and dew. But there are countless women in the harem, how can he satisfy them all as a man? In the end, it's either a short life or a pure heart and few desires.

For Empress Cao, Zhao Zhen gave her honor, but when it came to matters between men and women, it was just better than nothing.

As time went by, Queen Cao became accustomed to such deserted days, and gradually felt that she had become a pool of stagnant water.

"Official..."

So after seeing Zhao Zhen coming, Queen Cao still remained calm.

Zhao Zhen sat down and was offered tea. He took a sip and casually talked about some trivial matters.

The women in the harem were not well informed, but women's nature was to be curious, so it stands to reason that the queen should be quite interested now.

But Zhao Zhen's story-telling ability was so poor that he couldn't even arouse the queen's enthusiasm for gossip.

After Zhao Zhen talked for a while, he felt a little boring, so he avoided Queen Cao's eyes, stood up and said, "There are some political affairs ahead, I'll go first."

Empress Cao stood up Yingying, her thick eyebrows slightly furrowed, and said heroically: "Guan family, I have a cousin in my family, and he has a seven-year-old child... Shen An..."

Zhao Zhen looked over slowly, his eyes slightly cold.

He slowly turned sideways and said, "If that young man doesn't make big mistakes in the future, he will have some future... Has the news spread?"

Empress Cao felt that the official's attitude was not right, but she did not hide it and said, "I haven't said it yet."

Zhao Zhen glanced at her, his eyes filled with indifference.

Empress Cao instantly regretted it.

She originally thought that the officials would not care about such things, but now it seems that the officials are still wary of the Cao family!

Zhao Zhen walked to the door, looked at the gray sky with his hands behind his hands, and said: "The Cao family... Since I didn't say it... let's say it. I want to see what the young man will choose. If it's wrong, then it's wrong. ”

Empress Cao walked over slowly, lowered her head and said: "Official family, concubine... The Cao family has no objection to this matter."

Zhao Zhen shook his head, "That young man has been suffering for a long time. He is also struggling in Bianliang, and no one can help him. Finding a powerful family to take refuge in will save a lot of trouble. If people share this sentiment, he will probably do the same. "

Empress Cao heard something bad. If Shen An chose to agree or had an ambiguous attitude, his future would probably be doomed.

Zhao Zhen's face became indifferent and he said: "I have my own discretion in this matter.".

This is a warning, and he also uses the title "I", which shows that he has taken this matter as a official matter.

Empress Cao sent him out. After walking farther, she saw Zhao Zhen waving, and a chamberlain came next to him.

Zhao Zhen said something, and the chamberlain hurried out of the palace.

Empress Cao knew that it must be someone from the Imperial City Department, and would probably go to verify the matter immediately.

She was a little panicked. As the daughter of the Cao family, she knew her role when she entered the palace, so she didn't seek merit, but wanted to have no faults and not bring trouble to the family.

But now the cousin's matter has made Zhao Zhen wary and UU Reading www.uukanshu.net afraid.

But from this we can also see Zhao Zhen’s expectations for the future of this young man Shen An.

The more seriously you take it, the less you can tolerate betrayal.

She turned around and walked into her room, drove everyone away, then lit a stick of incense and prayed silently, hoping that Shen An would refuse this matter.

Shen An hurried home. He had been away from home for several days. He was worried that Guoguo would cry, and he was even more worried that Cao Yun's cousin would come to harass him.

Shen An, who had just entered Yulin Alley and was eager to return home, was stopped by a man.

The man was accompanied by an entourage, and the reserved smile on his face showed that he had a good background.

He nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Cao Ding has met Shen Daizhao."

Shen An slowly dismounted, walked over with a faint smile on his face, and asked, "Is he Cao Yun's cousin?"

The man nodded and said with a smile: "I am from the Cao family. I have heard about Shen Daizhao for a long time. If you don't give up, please drink together and get acquainted."

At this moment, the Cao family is still considered the top noble of the Song Dynasty, otherwise there would not be a queen.

So when Cao Ding said this, he seemed a little proud.

You, an orphan with no background and no support from your parents, are attracted by our Cao family. So why don't you quickly lower your profile and invite someone into our house for a drink?

After three rounds of drinking, when this matter is brought up, do you still dare to refuse?

He felt that the matter was almost certain, and then he turned slightly sideways, preparing to let Shen An lead the way.

Then he saw the evil smile, the angry evil smile.

"Fuck you!"

Boom!

Shen An angrily punched Cao Ding, who happened to be sideways and was hit on the side of the nose.

He turned around, and just as a neighbor came out from the opposite side, he saw a column of blood spurting out of his crooked nose.
