I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 161 Two concubines were born together, Zhang Yaozuo’s win-win dinner
On the tenth day of February, the weather was sunny.

Su Liangxiu is at home.

Now, Su Zimu can not only walk independently, but can even shout short words such as "dad, mother, grandpa".

Su Liang was very happy and thought his son was quite smart.

In two or three years, he will be able to become a student of Ouyang Xiu.

Now, it's not just Ouyang Xiu who is vying to be Su Zimu's enlightenment master.

Bao Zheng, Tang Jie, and Wang Anshi all competed for it, and even Zhao Zhen planned to let Su Zimu come to the palace to be the prince's companion in the future.

Tang Wanmei had taken Su Zimu into the palace several times in response to Queen Cao's appointment.

The prince Zhao Jun liked Su Zimu very much. When he saw Su Zimu, he held his hand without letting go, which led to Queen Cao giving Su Zimu many rewards.

Su Zimu's clothes from head to toe were all gifts from the palace.

……

February 21st, afternoon.

The palace was bustling again.

Beauty Zhang is about to give birth, and so is Miao Zhaoyi.

Miao Zhaoyi's rank was higher than Zhang Meiren's, but it was Zhang Meiren who Zhao Zhen was worried about.

After taking a quick glance at Miao Zhaoyi, he stayed in Zhang Meiren's bedroom.

Zhao Zhen's reason is: Zhang Mei is weak and should be treated with more pity.

After Empress Cao found out, she took many of her concubines to Miao Zhaoyi's palace to take care of her.

In the harem.

Except for Zhang Meiren, the other concubines liked and respected Empress Cao very much.

But together, none of them could defeat Zhang Meiren.

And this moment.

Officials from various yamen in the imperial court did not discuss the matter too much. After all, the official family already had a son.

Some officials even believed that it would be best for Miao Zhaoyi and Zhang Meiren to have a princess, otherwise there might be another bloody princely battle in the future.

Although Zhang Meiren did not have a high status, she was extremely favored.

If a prince is born, it's hard to say who the future prince will be.

Although Su Liang hopes that the official family will have many children and good fortune, he does not hope that Zhang Mei will give birth to a prince.

If Zhang Meiren really gives birth to a prince.

From now on, he will become even more arrogant and domineering, and I am afraid that no one can stop Zhang Yao and Qingyun from going straight up.

About an hour later.

News came that Miao Zhaoyi had given birth to a princess.

Not long after this news came out, Zhang Meiren also gave birth.

Her belly was so good that she gave birth to a prince directly.

In Yushitai.

When Su Liang heard the news, he gritted his teeth and said: "The official family will be blessed with many children. It is really a great joy for us in the Song Dynasty!"

this day.

The happiest person is Zhang Yaozuo, the official of Kaifeng Prefecture.

did nothing.

But I feel that my status has risen a lot.

On that day, Zhao Zhen rewarded Concubine Miao and Meiren Zhang. The size was naturally not as good as the day when Empress Cao gave birth to her son, but it was still generous.

And Su Liang was rewarded again.

The officials gave him a carriage worth of gifts.

As long as the official harem has children, Su Liang will be rewarded, which has become a custom.

The officials were all envious.

……

On this day, the government office was released.

Su Liang walked slowly on the street, and a carriage stopped beside him.

Su Liang looked up.

A head stuck out of the window and said with a smile: "Su Yushi, how about going to Fanlou for a drink?"

This person is no one else.

It was Zhang Yaozuo, Zhang Meiren's uncle and the official of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Su Liang knew Zhang Yaozuo, but not very well, so he couldn't help but hesitate.

"A meal of thanks." Zhang Yaozuo looked at Su Liang with a smile and said, "Don't you dare?"

Hearing this, Su Liang smiled slightly and got into the carriage.

He wanted to see what this relative, who was over sixty years old and was thinking about going to court to pay homage to, was thinking about.

After a while.

Private room on the second floor of Fan Building.After Zhang Yaozuo and Su Liang took their seats, Zhang Yaozuo waved his hand, and one after another Fan Lou's classic dishes were served.

Obviously, Zhang Yaozuo has been ready for a long time.

Su Liang was not polite either.

"Guard Zhang, I'm really hungry, so you're welcome!"

"I just like your cheerful energy, please!" Zhang Yaozuo said with a smile.

Immediately, Su Liang started eating and drinking.

When the two of them walked from the street to Fanlou, people from the Imperial City Department had already seen them.

Moreover, there are people from the Imperial City Division in Fanlou.

Therefore, Su Liang was not worried at all that Zhang Yaozuo would murder him.

As for the statement that Taiwan's admonishers should not have personal relationships with their relatives, Su Liang actually didn't care.

Just because Su Liang had detoxified the palace from the poisons of lead, mercury and cinnabar, and allowed the official family and Zhang Meiren to have a child again, Su Liang was qualified to eat this meal.

Not long after, Su Liang was [-]% full.

Zhang Yaozuo also slowly spoke.

Zhang Yaozuo has gray hair and is 61 years old this year.

In the Song Dynasty, it was important to become an official at the age of 70. Some people with poor health became official in their 60s.

But Zhang Yaozuo's spirit is very good.

"Jing Ming, today, I mainly want to thank you for removing the poisons of lead, mercury and cinnabar from the ban, so that I allowed my miserable niece to give birth to a son for the official family..."

"You're welcome! You're welcome!" Su Liang raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Jingming, although I don't have a close relationship with you, I really like your articles and conversation. Among the young officials in the Song Dynasty, you are the leader, and you will definitely have a bright future. Back then, there were people who said that I ordered people to spread bad things about you. , it’s really a rumor, don’t believe it..."

"I care deeply about the country and want to serve the imperial court. However, because I am a relative, I have been jealous of many times and my official career has been very bumpy. Now that I am over sixty years old, I want to do more practical things for the imperial court while I still have the strength. "

……

Zhang Yaozuo spoke in one breath for nearly half an hour.

In fact, it can be summed up mainly in three points.

First, thank Su Liang; second, praise Su Liang; third, praise yourself.

Zhang Yaozuo always believed that he had the ability to worship the prime minister.

Just because of his status as a foreign relative, his official career was hampered.

Su Liang just wanted to laugh.

If Zhang Yaozuo can worship the prime minister, then at least 50 people in the court can worship the prime minister now.

If Zhang Yaozuo did not have the status of a maternal relative, at best he would be just a local magistrate if he worked hard until he was in his [-]s.

He completely regarded his maternal relative’s background as his own ability, and believed that his maternal relative’s status was a drag on him.

Immediately, Zhang Yaozuo slowly got to the point.

"In the past few days, I have been very upset. People visiting me have been blocking the door from morning to night. They don't offend anyone, and they are not familiar with each other. I still like young officials like you. If there is a chance in the future, we will We can talk more, I also have some ideas on reform..."

As the saying goes, listen to what is said.

Zhang Yaozuo was telling Su Liang that he was gaining power and Zhang Meiren's son might become emperor in the future, so it was best for Su Liang to make friends with him.

Zhang Yaozuo paused several times, waiting for Su Liang to give feedback.

When speaking in officialdom, people are not clear in words, and they pay attention to understanding from heart to heart.

But Su Liang just didn't answer.

"Jing Ming, there are still many days to come! Flowers don't last forever. You can be rich all your life, but you have to think about your children and leave a way out, right?"

"Yeah." Su Liang nodded, then pointed to a plate of dishes on the side and said, "This bad pig's trotters and claws are good, and this crispy bone fish is also good. Can I take one home?"

"Okay, okay." Zhang Yaozuo said with a smile.

At this moment, Zhang Yaozuo was almost angry to death, but he really didn't dare to offend Su Liang.

……

After half an hour.

Su Liang took a box of food and returned home leisurely.

Being thick-skinned is actually a protective color for officials.

It won't offend people too much, but it can also reject them.

Being an official in the same dynasty, everyone can get by in terms of appearance.

If Tang Jie or Ouyang Xiu came to this dinner party and heard Zhang Yaozuo talking about making friends, they would probably flip the table on the spot.

Zhang Yaozuo didn't get any feedback and felt depressed.

He thought for a while and said to the groom on the side: "Let's go to Prime Minister Xia Shu's Mansion."

　Note: Some book friends reminded that Zhao Zhen used the radicals next to the Japanese character when he chose the correct name for the prince, so Zhao Lin was changed to Zhao Jun, in the hope that everyone will know.

　　According to historical facts, the result of the rebellion of the marriage officer was nothing. It took me a long time to come up with this almost perfect solution strategy. I thought it was very advanced, just like the bowl in the cupboard has been overturned, but the cupboard door has not been opened.Unexpectedly, there was a lot of outcry and everyone didn't like it, so I won't write this kind of plot in the future.

　　In addition, in this book, there is no civet cat changing for the prince, and there is no battle between princes. The story about Zhang Meiren giving birth to a son is just to boost Zhao Zhen and enhance Zhang Yaozuo's character. Zhang Meiren was offline early, and everyone knows where there will be palace fights.What I wrote is poisonous. You can criticize it. After all, you spent money, but don’t rely on your imagination to criticize me. It’s not easy to write a new book, so please!
