The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Yun Yan replied: "I—I am the president of the Tokyo branch of the Zhan Zhao National Support Association!"

Bao Zheng: "???"

After Yunyan finished speaking, she also said something in her heart, the president of the god TM support club.

But for a moment he really couldn't think of how to describe it at this moment, so he said bravely: "Shao Yin, you don't know anything about young people. Zhan Yishi is very famous in the world, and people in Tokyo often say that he There are many people who admire him all over the country, but they can't fight side by side, they can only help silently in the rear or in their hearts..."

Alas, don't you support silently, don't you just wave a cheering stick beside Zhan Zhaoxing when he is fighting for justice?

But Bao Zheng was hit by the phrase "Shao Yin, you don't understand young people anymore", and he was hit hard. He is no older than Brother Yan, who is about ten years old!It turns out that Brother Yan no longer regards them as a generation?

"So that's how it is... I didn't expect Zhan Yishi to have so many admirers. When I have a chance in the future, let me introduce you." After Bao Zheng was sad, he asked curiously, "Then how many fans does the Tokyo branch of your support club have?" people?"

"For the time being, there is only the president of the association," Yun Yanhui said calmly, "Shao Yin, do you want to join the association?"

Bao Zheng: "..."

Yun Yan replied: "You have to pay the regular membership fee..."

"..." Bao Zheng shook his head and said, "You narrow-minded ghost, I almost fell for your tricks, thinking that you really organized a strange alliance to support Zhan Zhao."

Yun Yan replied innocently: "This is more powerful. After all, there is no one around me who admires Hero Zhan as much as I do. It seems that I have a lot of face when I say this."

He felt that Bao Zheng's expression seemed to be saying "Just be happy", so he laughed a few times.

As soon as Bao Zheng came back, the job of guarding the army was finished.

The people they caught here were handed over to Kaifeng Mansion for management on the spot, and then Bao Zheng personally sent them back.

Before leaving, Yun Yanhui also said to Zhou Huilin: "Although you didn't help much this time, thank you and your brothers."

This time Zhou Huilin spent most of his time recuperating, and the laxative really cost him half his life.Hearing Yun Yan's reply at this time, his face was also extremely ugly.

Yun Yan replied: "Hehe, do we meet each other like this and smile away our grievances?"

Zhou Huilin: "Fuck you!! Don't even think about it!!!"

Zhou Huilin left angrily.

Yun Yan returned to the spot and murmured to herself: "If you say it's up to me, I'll give you the antidote. Now don't blame me..."

So Zhou Huilin, who returned to the Forbidden Army camp, suffered from diarrhea for three consecutive days, and no medicine was effective.

……

Originally, after Bao Zheng returned to Beijing, according to everyone's thinking, it was inevitable that he and Grand Master Pang would have a bloody fight, or that Renzong would use Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang to fight a bloody storm.

However, something unexpected disrupted everyone's arrangements.

The first woman in the Song Dynasty to be in charge of the court, the Empress Dowager Liu who had been ill for several months, died of illness.The news was like a thunderstorm, causing waves in the court.

Liu E, Empress Dowager Liu, is truly a legendary woman. She was born in a humble family. She once married a craftsman, and then entered the palace. Queen.Even after Zhenzong's death, Renzong was young, and she became the regent queen mother, the most powerful woman in Song Dynasty.

Empress Dowager Liu is indeed capable, but as Renzong grew up, she was greedy for power and unwilling to return to power, so there was still a rift between mother and son.

The courtiers kept persuading the empress to return to power. More than two years ago, Empress Liu reluctantly returned to the harem, but she still had influence on the government and did not let go completely.

At the beginning, in order to govern smoothly, Empress Liu wooed courtiers and designated Pang Taishi's daughter as queen.It was because of her pressure that it was inconvenient for Renzong to let go of Taishi Pang, and Taishi Pang echoed Empress Liu both inside and outside the court, which made Empress Liu still have influence.

For Renzong, Empress Liu was indeed his mother, but for an emperor, it was even more of a shadow.

When Empress Liu died, Taishi Pang panicked, and Emperor Renzong was in a complicated mood.

But the matter is not over yet, Empress Liu's funeral has begun to be arranged. After more than ten years of living in seclusion, Zhao Yunchu's father, Zhao Yuanyan, suddenly entered the palace to ask for an audience, and reported to the official family that Empress Liu was not his biological mother, but his biological mother. It was Concubine Li Chen who passed away last year.

It is said that Renzong was so shocked that he summoned some old courtiers to inquire and learned the truth.

At that time, Empress Liu could not give birth to a child, but Zhenzong wanted her to be a queen. After Concubine Li became pregnant, he asked her to pretend to be pregnant. sealed to her.

Empress Liu was busy with government affairs, so she entrusted Renzong to a concubine Yang Shu in the harem to raise him.So for so many years, although Renzong felt that he was not close to his mother, he did not doubt the relationship between the two. He only thought that it was because he was raised by Yang Niangniang since he was a child and did not get along much.

As for Concubine Li, she was not born well. She was originally the maid of Empress Liu, and she was originally a borrower for Empress Liu. After giving birth to the prince, she became unknown. I don't even remember what my own mother looks like.

Originally, Empress Liu wanted to imitate Empress Wu's intentions, but she couldn't make it because of the obstruction of the courtiers.Knowing that she is not even his own mother now is so sour, only Renzong himself knows.

As soon as Empress Liu passed away, the limelight turned, and all the ministers began to speak ill of her, accusing her of treating Concubine Li harshly and conniving at her family.

Even so, Renzong still added the title to Empress Liu, after all, she was the queen of Zhenzong.And the mother-in-law, Concubine Li, couldn't be wronged anymore, and was named Empress Zhuang Yi afterward.

In this way, everyone in the world knows that the official's birth mother is someone else, and it's a lot of gossip.

In the harem, both the official mother and the biological mother were killed. It should be Pang Niangniang who is the biggest. However, Pang Niangniang hadn't enjoyed the joy of being the No. Yang Niangniang, who had raised him, became the empress dowager, and then put the hat of Empress Dowager Baoqing on Yang Niangniang's head.

Hey, a big Buddha appeared on top of Pang Niangniang out of thin air again, and she had no choice but to get down and be the second child again.

At this time, Renzong also rewarded Gongsun Ce, Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu from Kaifeng Mansion with official positions, saying that they did a good job.And these people were clearly the ones who killed Pang Yu when they went to Chenzhou with Bao Zheng last time.

Grand Master Pang, who wanted to roll up his sleeves and beat Bao Zheng, was beaten like this, so he had to quiet down and be as quiet as a chicken, so as not to rush to the street.

……

The power of the court changed, and the city of Tokyo was turbulent, but for a small official in Kaifeng Mansion, Yun Yan, nothing had changed, it was just the difference between Bao Zheng being busy and busier.

Yun Yanhui was busy harvesting grapes, leading the kitchen staff to process them and make wine.

During this process, there were constant voices of doubt.

"If you don't even add distiller's yeast, can you really make wine?"

"Isn't this really grape juice..."

"We have such good grapes, don't waste them."

All kinds of voices kept going, but Yun Yan never hesitated to slap her in the face. After [-] days, she told them with practical actions that distiller's yeast is not needed to make wine!

This really caused an uproar in Kaifeng Prefecture. It turns out that there have always been few good wines in the Central Plains.

So there was another round of cheers, and there was another unique signboard in the Kaifeng Mansion Canteen.

Although the Empress Dowager had just passed away and could not have a banquet, Yun Yanhui still brewed part of the wine for the second time, put some of it aside, and took out the other part to teach everyone how to make casserole wine duck.

In Tokyo City, for the time being, only the canteens in Kaifeng Prefecture are willing to use good wine for this dish. One plate needs a pot of wine, and many people are a little unbelievable when they eat it.

Although most people know that the government grants wine-making rights, they have never thought that they can really make wine in their mansion. Some time ago, everyone thought that the grapes picked in the cafeteria were for sale. Who knew that they would make wine for them? The food is ready, I heard that Shaoyin will make a regulation for everyone to share wine and drink for a while.

Some low-ranking officials were so moved that they were about to cry. Since Shao Yin took office, their lives have really changed a lot.In the past, they were evil officials and running dogs. Wherever they went, people were afraid and hated. Now they follow Bao Shaoyin, and the people look good on them. Let's get close.

Now when I go out and say that I am from Kaifeng Mansion, other people will look at me differently.When visiting relatives, you only need to save one dish from the two meals a day and take it with you, it will be very face-saving.

Extra money, not to mention, Shaoyin is very reasonable, and he doesn't prohibit some people from reselling their share.

Now that the grape wine has not been on the menu, the news has already spread, and now everyone thinks that even if it is the same thing, the quality of Kaifeng Mansion Canteen will be better.After all, Shaoyin eats that dish every day, and the officials have also tasted it!

……

Because a large amount of wine has been produced, Yun Yanhui has to connect with the people in Cangcao, trying to find ways to stuff all the wine into the warehouse to occupy space.After working so hard for a month, I realized that I haven't seen Zhao Yunchu and Zheng Ling for a long time. In the past, these two people passed by Kaifeng mansion from time to time to come to talk to him.

It just so happened that he himself took advantage of this wine making to prepare a few jars for himself, and sent one jar to the Wang Mansion and Zheng's house respectively.

It was only after he came to the door that he found out that Zheng Ling had been having trouble with his family recently. He was not happy with his work at Honglu Temple. Recently, his family forced him to improve, and Honglu Temple was busy with receiving envoys and learning foreign languages. He learned that his head is getting bigger.

Zheng Ling clamored to enter the Imperial Academy of Painting and become a professional painter.

The Hanlin Academy of Painting is both leisurely and in line with his interests, but where will he be promoted in the future? To be the dean of the sky, of course the Zheng family is not happy, and now they are crying and fighting against the family.

As for Zhao Yunchu, it was even more unbelievable that he was confined to study at home with his brothers, except for going to court.

You know, the concubine has always had a mentality of "enjoy the riches if you succeed, and enjoy the riches and honor if you fail" towards them, especially Zhao Yunchu.

Seeing them studying hard now, naturally it scared Yun Yan back.

The concubine received Yun Yan back in person, happily accepted the jar of wine, and asked someone to take him to see Zhao Yunchu.

Zhao Yunchu and his three elder brothers were sitting in the study together, reading books, and seeing Yun Yanhui, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, appeared, and looked at him without crying, "Brother Yan..."

"Little brother, why are you crying?" Zhao Yundi lifted his spirits and rubbed his hands, "It's been a long time since I haven't seen Brother Yan, it seems that he is getting more and more handsome, hehe."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Yunyan shuddered when she heard the two obscene laughs.

Zhao Yunchu: "Third Brother...==||"

Looking at the faces of Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu, Zhao Yundi felt a little embarrassed, put down his hands again, and said embarrassingly: "Oh, I'm rude, I'm rude, I haven't been able to go out to have fun for more than a month, I was impulsive..."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Yun Yan knew that he was a fool, so he had to greet everyone as if nothing had happened, and said: "The Kaifeng mansion has made some wine, and I will send a jar over to see you by the way. I didn't expect you to not show up for so long. You are studying hard at home." ?”

"Brother Yan, I thought you didn't remember me..." Zhao Yunchu gave him a resentful look, "Father invited us to make up the poems and books, and I don't know why."

Zhao Yunxi, the eldest brother of the Zhao family, said slowly at this time: "I heard that it seems that the official family intends to summon the children of the clan for an examination, and they should be promoted to be promoted."

The children of the clan were originally given names and officials from birth, and their promotion was different from other courtiers. It was related to blood, and they did not need to take exams, and they were not allowed to take exams.Although the examination is a special examination, if Renzong really allows the clan to conduct the examination, it will also give them a new promotion route.

Zhao Yundi hesitated and said: "No way...the officials are full..." Halfway through speaking, she quickly shut up.

It is a kind of preferential treatment that the clan can become an official without taking part in the imperial examination, but it is not a kind of imprisonment. This is the official defense against the clan.Now I want to open a small gap, but I don't know why?

Zhao Yundi rolled his eyes a few times, and exchanged glances with his brothers, knowing what he knew, but he didn't dare to say it out.Their father lived in seclusion for so long, suddenly came out to expose the secrets of the royal family, and even helped the officials suppress Pang Taishi—is this really an initiative?

The official family has lived for so long and has been in the palace for more than [-] years. Is it true that they have never heard of their own life experience?

There must be something tricky here.

Yun Yan didn't know what happened inside, so he didn't have any idea, and said: "Then this is also a good thing, no wonder the prince and concubine want you to study."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yundi smirked a few times, "You don't know, A Niang said, Brother Yan is clever, but he doesn't like to read, so tell my younger brother to read books these days, don't keep looking for you. Ask me Said, if you hadn't brought wine today, I'm afraid Auntie would have turned you away, so as not to disturb the little brother and not be able to calm down."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Yun Yan replied angrily: "The concubine underestimates people, I'm not good at reading, but it's not that I can't read!"

Zhao Yundi said "huh": "You mean, you can read?"

Yunyan snorted back. Although he gave up studying, it was because his knowledge framework had already been fixed, and it was difficult to delve into ancient prose.And the learning methods, especially the test-taking methods, are also common after thousands of years!
