The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 36: Write a storybook?

The five ministers came out of the palace.

Zongze, Zhang Shuye and others were about to be sent to the northwest and dispersed to different state capitals. Cao Sheng, the ruler of Taozhou, was not in name only. He wanted to choose a place to garrison troops and grain in a place that completely belonged to the Song Dynasty. , and took in the familiar Qiang and Tibetan tribes to prepare for future military use.

As for whether he has this ability, his father does, his uncle does, and the Cao family will send people to help him.

In the palace, the eldest lady ordered a small banquet to be prepared.

Then there was flower viewing and tea tasting.

When Liang Shicheng and Liang Xin were free, they also hid in the palace and had a drink.

Liang Shicheng asked: "The eldest lady asked, how did you respond?"

Liang Xin: "Dad said, we are the slaves of the official family, that's how I said it. The eldest lady asked again, how to be a good slave, my answer is, if the official family wants to make money, we will do it. If the family wants to punish people, we will do it. Whatever the officials want, we will do it. The officials are always good people, and the bad things are all done by the father..."

Liang Shicheng listened and laughed while holding the wine glass.

Yes, exactly.

This is an example of a good house slave. His son is more thoughtful than he thinks.

Liang Xin continued: "I will give dad a picture later. Dad should be able to use the money in the palace to make the eldest lady happy. It will not do any harm to us father and son."

"This matter is easy to handle."

There were some things that Liang Xin didn't tell Liang Shicheng.

In the era of the imperial system, if we really want to kill corrupt officials, the first person to be killed is the emperor and the imperial system. The most greedy and unruly people in the world are the emperor's family.

Therefore, the emperor doesn't care if you are a corrupt official, he only cares if you make him happy.

The people liked Bao Zheng, and the emperor liked people like Cai Jing.

Let’s talk about the Royal Garden.

This is the harem, where the chief steward next to the Queen Mother is responsible for the tea party, and Zhao Youfu is just the person who runs back and forth to deliver messages.

The Queen Mother is very happy today.

Zhao Ji ordered tea and asked the Queen Mother to taste it.

Black cup, white tea soup, Zhao Ji ordered a bowl of tea soup that looked like an ink painting.

The best of the best.

He nodded to the Queen Mother: "Emperor, the refreshments are good. What do you think about Shanzhou and Hehuang?"

Zhao Ji was a little confused.

While he was thinking hard, he said to the Queen Mother: "There are only you and me, mother and son, here, you still want to make up lies to deceive me?"

Zhao Ji quickly replied: "Taozhou is not at peace, and the top-grade Tao inkstones are gone." After saying that, Zhao Ji looked at the Queen Mother Xiang nervously.

The Queen Mother smiled: "Very good."

At this time, Liang Xin's nine points on how to be a good domestic slave were confirmed.

The emperor wants Tao inkstone.

Those who are domestic slaves should handle this matter carefully, and they should make it clear that the emperor is the king of the Song Dynasty. If there is any mistake, it will naturally be the slave's fault, and the Tao Yan incident will never appear on the table.

Xiang Taitai then said: "The Liang family father and son are not bad. If they are useful, the officials can reward them more."

Zhao Ji quickly added: "At that time, Cai Youcheng was inspected, and he didn't touch any of the countless treasures. He asked me to check it. He has a saying that I like to hear. He said that the world belongs to the officials, and he is the only one who has been rewarded by the officials. Don’t dare to reach out.”

"Good."

After hearing the Queen Mother's praise again, Zhao Ji brought up an idea that had been brewing for a long time.

"Madam, eldest daughter of the Cao family, what do you think of Brother Xin?"

Zhao Ji has no good intentions.

Cao Tan had beaten so many powerful children in Bianjing City that no one dared to come to propose marriage. The most important thing was that Cao Tan had a deep dislike for brothels, goulan, and even formal restaurants with sommeliers.

If Liang Xin married Cao Tan, it would be unknown whether she would be able to go out after dark in this life, let alone go to a brothel or goulan.

Zhao Jixin said that he was the most noble son of a brothel in Bianjing City. No one could match him for his literary talent, poetry, wealth, and appearance, except Liang Xin.

After hearing this, Queen Mother Xiang thought for a while and asked, "Can he write scripts?"

Zhao Ji didn't even think about the meaning of this question, and immediately ordered: "Come here, I will issue an edict to Zhaowenge Liang to write a script and present it."

Queen Mother Xiang, that’s not what I meant.

But Zhao Ji had already given the order and didn't ask the Queen Mother any more questions.

Liang Xin, who was having a drink with Liang Shicheng, was a little confused when she heard a eunuch coming to deliver a message.Write a storybook and submit it immediately.

To the Queen Mother.

why is that.

But no matter why, the emperor gave the order, and Queen Mother Xiang probably knew it, so it wouldn't be enough if she didn't write it.

What to write about?

What building is that?

Liang Xin felt that she could memorize the story basically because she watched the TV series countless times and asked herself to write it out. It was probably impossible.

The artistic level is too high unless someone catches the knife for you.

So, what to write?

Chuanhuanchuan or Jinzhiyuan?
Let’s just go around.

Just choose the background... pick one from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, just talk nonsense.

In the future, if there is a ghost writer, let’s talk about which one will be popular.

Come back, I have to go to bed early today, I have to marry a concubine tomorrow.

After coming out of the palace, Liang Xin returned to Cao Mansion. According to the procedure, she would go home around five o'clock tomorrow morning, then put on bright red clothes, mount a horse, and go to the Wang family to welcome the bride.

Taking a concubine is definitely not the same process as marrying a wife.

Otherwise, how can the wife's nobility be shown?

On the way to Cao's Mansion, the sky was getting dark. The carriage Liang Xin was sitting in had just passed a corner when a man and a donkey stood in front of the carriage.

The driver of the car turned over and jumped out of the car, holding his right hand on the handle of the knife behind his waist.

Although this man is a eunuch and is over 50 years old, he is a real master of the inner palace.

The guards of the forbidden palace are the forbidden army and the imperial city guards.

The master of the inner palace is the eunuch.

This person was just fished out of the palace prison a few days ago. In Liang Shicheng's words, there is a half chance that the person who is his most important enemy will become one of his own.

The person has been fished out, and there is no way to arrange tasks for the time being. To restore the original rank, we have to wait and see the opportunity.

This one has a good name.

The surname is Hai.

Liang Xin liked it and invited her to stay at home temporarily.

He is said to be a coachman, but he is also considered to be one of his own family members.

Eunuch Hai stood in front of the car, holding the handle of the knife with his right hand behind his waist.

The man pulling the donkey raised his body and saluted: "Please ask me."

Eunuch Hai: "Ask."

"What's the treasure in Hehuang?"

Liang Xin sat on the carriage without picking up the curtain. The person blocking the carriage was Zong Ze, who was a little surprised.

After a while, Liang Zhong got out of the car and walked to Zongze: "There are three treasures, people and horses, and stones."

Zongze saluted again, took the donkey and left.

Eunuch Hai returned to the car, cracked his whip lightly, and the carriage continued to walk towards Cao's Mansion.

Today, Zongze has no intention of telling anyone.

He just wanted to make sure of two things.

Who is driving all this behind the emperor may not be the young man he saw. This young man may be just the person on the stage, and there may be others behind him.

Or his teacher.

Another thing, he heard the answer he wanted.

The answer is: people, horses, stones.

Zongze clearly knows what these three things represent.
