Chapter 994: Lord of the County
Zhao Xu served Zhao Yunrang for three rounds of wine. Zhao Yunrang glanced at him and said, "You and Shen An will go away. I will talk to them here."
He is getting older, and people are afraid of loneliness when they are old. Zhao Shu and his son were both in the palace, and it was rare for him to see them. The children and grandchildren at home also knew how to accompany him, but Lao Zhao had a bad temper, and people outside often heard him calling him a beast.
Zhao Xu and Shen An went to the study and asked someone to make hot pot.
"Zundao and the others can't come out now, and Yuanze can't come out of the academy either. It's just the two of us."
There is a small hot pot stand there, and the wine is brewed fruit wine, which is sour and sweet to drink.
"If I had known that I could face Yelu Hongji, I would definitely have gone." Zhao Xu was very sorry, and even a little dissatisfied with the restrictions brought about by his identity.
"I used to be able to go wherever I wanted, but now I have to ask for permission to leave the imperial city. It's tiring."
"You have to be tired if you want to do things." Shen An comforted him hypocritically, and then said: "When I met Yelu Hongji this time, he looked calm and impressive, but after all, he didn't have a big picture."
"At that time, he was reading a book and ignored us. This was just pretentious. Emperors need to show off, but they also need dignity. The Liao people stationed troops in Shuozhou. This was a knock on the mountain and a threat to the tiger. In this way, the envoy of the Song Dynasty went, and he should Showing majesty, not contempt. He got this wrong..."
Zhao Xu listened carefully and said casually: "So you lit a fire?"
Shen An was stunned and immediately said, "It's just that my hands are itchy."
"If someone is here, they will definitely put that thing inside the door. It's cold and they don't have crystal windows, so they will definitely close the door. When the thing lights the door, where will Yelu Hongji run? In a hurry, he can only climb through the window. ...The emperor climbed through the window... He is so embarrassed!"
Zhao Xu said happily: "It would be nice if I could bring a few more, one inside the door and one outside the window. This would block Yelu Hongji's road and burn him alive."
Seeing that what he said was very calm and gentle, Shen An couldn't help but feel worried for the future of the Song Dynasty.
This guy is so evil, what will the future ministers do?
Having diarrhea today and constipation tomorrow, who can bear it?
As for foreign relations, those countries will probably be miserable.
Think about it, today the Emperor of the Song Dynasty talked pleasantly about the good relations and brotherly relationship between the two countries, and vowed to let the light of peace shine on the world, but he turned around and the Song Dynasty army roared in, killing the unsuspecting opponents.
Such an emperor...
Not bad!
Shen An feels that the current world environment is like a primitive jungle, with no credibility at all, let alone peace.
It was a blessing for the Song Dynasty to have such a sinister emperor. As for other countries...
Then wish yourself good luck.
There are no innocents in this land, let alone the north. It is a feud in the Central Plains. There will be rivals for generations. Either you die or I die.
Jiaozhi is a white-eyed wolf, and the others are not much better...
Is this the surrounding environment that has been nurtured by the Central Plains for thousands of years?
Shen An felt depressed.
"What do you think, brother Anbei?"
Zhao Xu had been imprisoned in the palace recently. Today he heard that Zhao Yunrang was coming to congratulate him, so he asked for a job to serve his grandfather, and then came out of the palace.
So he ate meat with big mouthfuls and drank wine from big bowls, enjoying himself very much.
Shen An held the wine glass and said: "The Liao army is brave... Don't underestimate them. In this fight, the Liao army... I have never seen an ant attack a city, and I always feel that this is done with human lives, but the Liao people are so We did it, no one backed down..."
Antfu's siege is really brutal, and it is not an easy task for either the defending or attacking party.
Zhao Xu frowned and said, "What about the soldiers of the Song Dynasty?"
"brave!"
Shen An said: "Those soldiers have been out of battle for a long time, but they are extremely brave. The enemy attacked the city several times, but they were driven back... They are really brave. The Song Dynasty is really lucky to have such soldiers. "
The current Song Dynasty army still has combat effectiveness, and after some transformation, its strength has improved significantly.
In a few decades, after Zhao Ji ascended the throne, the Song Dynasty army would become waste and decoration.
"The army cannot be shaken." Shen An warned: "This time we are at Yanmen Pass. The terrain is narrow and the enemy cannot display it. That's why the Song Dynasty can win. If the two armies confront each other on the plains, it is still unclear who will win."
"yes."
Zhao Xu put down his chopsticks and responded seriously.
This is an extremely smart prince, and he is modest.
Shen An participated in his transformation, so he was in a very happy mood.
"drink wine!"
Drinking is fun in the front, and it’s not bad in the back either.
When Mrs. Li came, she couldn't bear to let go of her grandson as soon as she hugged him.
"Taro is getting whiter and whiter. Look at his dark eyes. He will definitely be handsome when he grows up."
In the eyes of all the elders, their children are either beautiful or handsome, and none of them is bad anyway.
A celebration banquet was also held in the backyard. Yang Zhuoxue said with a smile: "Mother, taro sometimes calls you mother."
"That's just deceiving. He still doesn't know what mother means." Ms. Li has raised two children and knows all about this.
When she saw Guoguo looking forward to him, she smiled and handed the taro over and said, "As an aunt, you do love your nephew. When he grows up, he will naturally support you."
"Mom..." Yang Zhuoxue felt that Guoguo was still young and shouldn't instill these views into her.
"You, you, are just stupid." Mrs. Li said angrily: "A woman is reincarnated when she gets married. If she marries the wrong person, she is reincarnated into the wrong fetus. It would be better if there is support from her natal family. If there is no one in her natal family or No matter, it’s hell.”
Yang Zhuoxue smiled and said: "Mom, what kind of pregnancy did I have?"
Li said angrily: "You were born into a fairy."
"The Duke of Founding County!" Mrs. Li sighed: "My son-in-law is the Duke of Founding County at a young age. What will happen in the future? There is no way you can have the title of Lady of the State in the future. That is the pinnacle of a woman's life. After death, No regrets.”
Lady of the country is the highest title for a married woman with a foreign destiny. At this point, a woman has reached the pinnacle of her life.
"What about this time?" Li asked suddenly, "Didn't the officials give you a title this time?"
Yang Zhuoxue shook his head, "I don't know."
Li couldn't help but pursed her lips and said: "Officials are said to be very stingy. Why don't we force our son-in-law to break someone's legs to offset his merits, so that he can save some rewards... Counting all the emperors in the past, he is the only one who is so stingy. .”
Guoguo was teasing the taro in her arms. Hearing this, she said, "The official family is very good!"
Li shook his head and said, "You are still young, you will know later."
She remembered how Zhao Zhen doted on the imperial concubine back then, and couldn't help but sigh: "Most emperors are ruthless! But..."
She asked Yang Zhuoxue in a low voice, "The king and his son-in-law are on good terms. Guoguo... the palace is not a good place. You have to remind your son-in-law not to let Guoguo enter the palace."
For the sake of the stability of her family, she would rather let Yang Jinian live in Yushitai without being promoted. This shows that she is not the kind of person who follows the influence of others, dislikes poverty and loves wealth.
Yang Zhuoxue glanced at Guo Guo and whispered: "The officials said that if Guo Guo doesn't enter the palace, she won't go even if she becomes queen."
Mrs. Li smiled and said: "My son-in-law still has vision, that's good."
"Madam! Madam!"
At this time, Aunt Chen came outside. She said happily: "It's coming, it's coming."
"What's coming?"
Seeing her joy, Yang Zhuoxue stood up and asked.
Aunt Chen stood outside the door and said, "Someone from the palace is coming. They say there is a reward, so please go quickly."
"Ah!" Yang Zhuoxue was dumbfounded.
She thought about giving a reward, but when the reward came, she was a little at a loss.
Li Shi pinched her covertly and shouted: "Stay still, go quickly!"
After Yang Zhuoxue went out, Mrs. Li clasped her hands and prayed: "The sky is full of gods and Buddhas to bless... Zhuoxue..."
From the moment a child is born, parents actually lose themselves and give most of their life to their children until death.
Yang Zhuoxue arrived all the way to the front and was already ready. A female officer stood there, her waist straight and her expression solemn.
The banquets nearby were all cleared, and Zhao Yunrang was about to curse, but he held it back when he saw Shen An and his grandson coming out.
When I'm having a good time drinking, won't you come back at another time?
There were neighbors watching the fun outside the door. When those women saw Yang Zhuoxue coming out, they couldn't help but said with envy: "Look at these officials. They have earned a reward for their wives. How great!"
"Hou Xinxin... County Duke Shen is a genius, can others compare to him?" The men felt aggrieved and could only excuse themselves by saying that Shen An was a genius.
Inside, the female official said solemnly: "But Shen Yang?"
Yang Zhuoxue lowered his head, "Yes."
The female officer said: "There is a reward."
A palace maid came over to point out Yang Zhuoxue's position, and then the female officer read out the reward loudly.
"...for Lord Leping..."
"Your Majesty!"
The vinegar outside was poured all over the floor, UU reading www. uukanshu.net Those women felt sour in their hearts.
She is also a woman, Yang Zhuoxue is already a county monarch at a young age, but what about us?
After all, Li was worried, so she asked Zhao Wuwu to lead her to the front and hid on the side to watch.
When she heard that her daughter had been made a county king, she couldn't help crying.
"The little meat dumpling back then has now become the wife of a person, the mother of a child, and even a county prince..."
Zhao Wuwu persuaded from the side: "Madam, please rest assured. Our husband is a capable man. In the future, the wife will definitely rise all the way, while the county wife and the country's wife will just sit around."
"Okay, okay!"
Mrs. Li was so excited that she said, "I'll go back right away. Tell Zhuo Xue later...just leave it alone if there are relatives coming."
Her daughter has become promising, and some annoying relatives have come back to get close to each other for benefits. There are many such people. She rushes back now just to let them know, to dissuade those people from thinking, and to publicize the future of her son-in-law and daughter. After all, they are also famous. A handful.
This is human nature. After Shen An learned about it, he also added fuel to the flames and asked Zhao Wuwu to follow him, which was regarded as giving his mother-in-law a prestige.
Yang Zhuoxue felt embarrassed, but Shen An thought it was normal, "It's hard for parents to raise children, and we all know it as parents... Now that the mother-in-law is happy, let her be happy. When the child is older, isn't the greatest filial piety to make the parents happy? "
Yang Zhuoxue remembered that her mother had burst into tears before, and she couldn't help but nodded and said, "Yes, my mother was crying before."
"That made me cry with joy." Shen An smiled and said, "Our family's good days are still to come, so you just have to enjoy it at home."
What does a man spend his whole life working hard for? Isn’t it just for the good life of my wife, children and family?
