The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 82 Rebel?

Behind the dragon wall.

At this time, the little eunuch responsible for holding the teleprompter board kicked the little eunuch responsible for passing the teleprompter board. The little eunuch responsible for passing the teleprompter board shook Liang Xin's leg. This was a signal that the courtiers had begun to enter the palace. .

Liang Xin and Zhang Dun stopped talking, checking the pen and ink and the blank prompter board.

afternoon.

Liang Xin and Zhao Ji had dinner together, preparing to mention a few things at court and the fact that Goryeo was going to send envoys to the Song Dynasty.

Where is Zhao Ji?

"I won't listen, I won't listen. Then the 72 Main Floor Oiran Competition will be held tomorrow night, that's right."

Liang Xin: "Tomorrow night is just a preview, some drills, the official start will be on the evening of the [-]th, and there will be a big break on the [-]th, so the party on the [-]th will be the most lively."

"It will be tomorrow night." Zhao Ji determined that it was tomorrow night. He didn't understand the preview and was too lazy to understand.

Liang Xin could only reply: "Everything has been arranged."

"Tomorrow night." Zhao Ji has been looking forward to this for a full month.

Liang Xin nodded.

He couldn't bring up the several things discussed at the court meeting just now, as well as the fact that Goryeo was going to send envoys.Zhao Ji was a little excited now and kept explaining what happened tonight.

Let’s talk about Liang Mansion.

Now the person in charge of the Liang Mansion is naturally Cao Tan, the eldest lady.

When Cao Tan was at home, the maids, maids, and envoys from the courtyard naturally followed him.

Li Qingzhao.

Now I have my identity, but there are still many relevant documents to sign, and then I will return to Li's house and welcome him again.After all, she is the most talented woman in Bianjing. Although she is a concubine, it is still necessary to give her a title to marry.

After lunch, Liang Xin secretly took out a painting from the palace warehouse and let him admire it for a month. Then he was bribed to agree to help Li Qingzhao secretly. He silently repeated the process in his mind and ran to Cao Tan's courtyard.

"Big lady."

"Is something wrong?"

Li Qingzhao stepped forward: "To the east of the Fuzhong Garden, there is a small courtyard, and there is an old man in it. The new version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was written by him, and it is better than the one written by the eldest lady."

Li Qingzhao did not shy away from it, and what was good was what was good.

After that, he handed a new edition of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to Cao Tan.

Cao Tan is looking through the account books at home.

There are two types of accounts in Liang Mansion.

One is called the government account and the other is the family account.

In Cao Tan's view, one belongs to the Liang family and is the family's account, and the other belongs to Liang Xin himself. Now that they are married, they naturally live separately.

actually not.

There is no connection at all between the government accounts and the family accounts.

The house account represents the livelihood of many people, such as Wang Pu, Liang Zhong, Wang Yougui, Tie Baotou, etc. Their monthly money, performance, bounty, etc. come from the income from this house account.

The household accounts are Liang Xin's and his son's own money.

After Cao Tan put down the account book and took the book handed over by Li Qingzhao, Li Qingzhao said: "For this word, the number of people in Bianjing who can reach this level is no more than one palm."

Being able to make Li Qingzhao speak well is not an ordinary thing.

Cao Tan looked through it and said, "I seem to have seen this word before."

Li Qingzhao was standing by: "This word is wild. It can compete with Dongpo Gong. It seems suspicious... I don't dare to guess."

Cao Tan put down the book: "No need to be suspicious. Let me tell you this. I have it at home. This is Zhang Xianggong's name. Come with me." After that, Cao Tan asked someone to change his clothes and changed into a set of formal clothes. Then he took Li Qingzhao to the east across the courtyard.

Zhang Dun.

In fact, we have already prepared for it.

Before Liang Xin's wedding, Zhang Dun had arranged for many arrangements to be made in this small courtyard.

Although some arrangements are still unfinished at this time, considering Liang Xin's mood, it is enough.When Cao Tan came here, a young eunuch hurried over to report.

As for Zhang Dun, he slowly pulled out an iron chain from the corner, tied one end to the pillar, then hung the other end from his own foot, and attached a copper lock.

Then he sat at the desk and continued writing his manuscript.

Zhang Dun was the sole prime minister for seven years and was the first rank in the dynasty.

Guanwendian Grand Bachelor, Grand Master, Wei Guogong...

I have never seen Li Qingzhao, but I have seen Cao Tan, the eldest daughter of the first wife of the Cao family.

As soon as he entered the room, Cao Tan was dumbfounded.

I saw an old man wearing linen clothes like a farmer, with his hair tied with a piece of hemp rope. He was sitting at the table writing. He also had a long iron chain on his feet, with one end of the iron chain on a pillar.

If you look carefully, it's Zhang Dun.

"Wei Guogong, this, this..." Cao Tan didn't know what to say.

Zhang Dun stood up, returned the greeting to Cao Tan, and smiled calmly: "She is the eldest girl of the Cao family. She is already polite."

"This..." Cao Tan pointed at the iron chain and immediately ordered: "Come here, get the key."

key?

The key is in Zhang Dun's desk.

Zhang Dun said: "No, no. I voluntarily exchange this old and broken body for the safety of my Zhang family. I accept the wishes of the eldest daughter of the Cao family."

Li Qingzhao said from the side: "This is the eldest lady of the Liang family."

"Congratulations, congratulations." Zhang Dun smiled and bowed his hands: "It's a pity that I don't have much to offer, and I don't know if there are any congratulatory gifts from my family."

Cao Tan returned the greeting: "Wei Guogong, why is this?"

Zhang Dun: "Madam, please sit down and wait for me to speak slowly."

"All this started two months ago, the Cai brothers..."

The story Zhang Dun tells is very simple.

Even if Liang Xin wants to kill many people, the Cai brothers will end badly. These two brothers were promoted by themselves, so they are also in danger. This matter has been related to King Jian.

Zhang Dun scolded: "Liang Shicheng, an old eunuch, and Liang Xin, a little villain, are hateful, but their methods are extremely clever. Because I know a very secret thing, and Liang Xin, a little villain, wants to silence me, but I know I can't fight. He can only do this."

Cao Tan: "What kind of secret matter?"

Zhang Dun asked back: "You dare to listen? I'm afraid your father, Prince Jiyang, wouldn't dare to listen."

Cao Tan: "Liang Xin is my husband."

Zhang Dun: "Heli is two families. I'm afraid you don't understand this little villain."

When Zhang Dun said this, Cao Tan's character would definitely not give up: "I want to listen."

"really?"

"really!"

Zhang Dun nodded, glanced at Li Qingzhao and Xu Shizhen, and the two women withdrew knowingly.

Zhang Dun said: "The eldest lady passed away. She announced to the outside world that she had a sudden heart attack. The truth is that the eldest lady made the official family angry to death. After that, everyone in the eldest lady's palace was secretly executed, including yours. My husband gave the order."

After hearing this, Cao Tan was stunned.

"Do you think this is it?" Zhang Dun stood up: "Are you afraid?"

Cao Tan still said the same thing: "Liang Xin is my husband, the one I chose."

Zhang Dun nodded: "Madam, please go outside the house. There is a window over there. Outside the window is the bamboo forest. From the bamboo forest, you can see the inside of the house. Count the time, the little evil guy Liang Xin will be back soon, just watch."

After hearing this, Cao Tan got up and walked out.

She wanted to see the difference between the Liang Xin in her heart and the Liang Xin mentioned by Zhang Dun.
