This Song Dynasty is different

Chapter 26: Sensual and lustful, kindness must be repaid

Qin Xuan was imprisoned, but the Queen Mother's anger was still uncontrollable, and she immediately ordered a strict investigation.Seven officials were found and all were exiled to Salmon Island.

Salmon Island is isolated overseas, and those who go there have almost no chance of survival.

The angry Queen Mother was frightening, but soon she fined Lu Zongdao half a year's salary.

This is a slap in the face for a jujube.

"Can you learn such methods?"

Li Xian drank tea and had snacks at Zhao Zhen's place.

"It's a bit difficult." Zhao Zhen frowned.

This guy is only 14 years old. In later generations, he would only be a junior high school student.

Li Xian raised his eyebrows, "To be honest, I don't think it's easy either. However, since you have shown your support for the New Deal, I suggest you learn faster. Otherwise, those people will attack you like wolves and tigers. Tear to pieces.”

Zhao Zhen leaned on the bed and rolled his eyes, "The eldest lady is still here."

Outside the side hall, the Queen Mother happened to come over. She stopped when she heard the words and waved her hands. The two chamberlains outside the hall who were about to report fell silent.

Li Xian's voice came from inside, "The Queen Mother can protect you now, how many years can she protect you? Besides, the old lady is old, can you bear to have her work so hard all the time? Anyway, you have to help me." "

"But I always feel like I can't intervene."

"As the same saying goes, start with small things. Remember, having an old man in your family is like having a treasure. The old lady is here, this is your blessing!"

"Yes! There was a lot of excitement today, and I was a little panicked, but the eldest lady took her time and calmed them down in two strokes. It is indeed like a treasure."

Outside the palace, the Queen Mother left quietly.

On the way, she frowned and said, "Old lady, what is this name?"

Luo Chongxun smiled and said: "It is said that it is the name for grandmother or elderly mother in the southwest."

Li Xian didn't know that the Queen Mother was here, so he just instinctively persuaded Zhao Zhen to be more sincere to the Queen Mother.Otherwise, according to historical interpretation, after the Queen Mother gradually gained power, she had the idea of ​​​​proclaiming herself emperor, but fortunately she finally reined in the precipice.

But I can't stand this butterfly here!
Maybe the butterfly will give birth to a female emperor, but how can that happen?

Therefore, if Zhao Zhen wants to avoid committing suicide, the best way is to sincerely be filial to the old lady.

The emperor is ruthless, but this is not the Han and Tang Dynasties. The power of the ministers is no less than that of the emperor.

Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu... When these names that shine in the history of youth appear, the Queen Mother has to restrain herself.

There is also Wang Zeng, the old man who considers himself the patron saint of the Song Dynasty. He has been observing the movements in the palace.As long as he is here, it will be impossible for the Queen Mother to become emperor.

But when did Lao Wang go there?

It seems that he lived a long life, but in the past few years of Tiansheng, Wang had angered the Queen Mother and was sent to Qingzhou or somewhere else.

So, let Wang Zeng squat in Bianjing, and the Queen Mother throw a rat weapon...

In this way, with Zhao Zhen's sincere filial piety on the one hand, and the presence of Wang Zeng and others on the other, even the Queen Mother had to be moved even if she had a heart of stone!

As for Zhao Zhen's biological mother Li Shunrong, who was currently guarding the late emperor's mausoleum, Li Xian never thought about it.It's not that he is cold-blooded. If Li Shunrong is brought up at this moment, it will only force the Queen Mother to take risks.

By that time, both jade and stone will be destroyed.

So, it’s better to be steady and take the lead!
Li Xian felt that he had worked too hard, so when he returned home, he closed the door and thanked the guests.

"Business is very good."

Xinghua happily took the account to report the good news.

"We have made a lot of money, Mr. Lang, can we redeem the things we sold at the pawn shop?" Xinghua looked at Li Xian eagerly.

Li Xian nodded, and Xinghua called two guys on the next day to redeem the things they had pawned with money, including her silver hairpin.

"How did you sell this place?" Li Xian asked.

Xinghua picked up the silver hairpin, "At the end of last year, my family ran out of money, and other families were preparing for the New Year, so I sold the silver hairpin and bought a leg of lamb."

Li Xian remembered that the mutton leg tasted good in his remaining memory.

"Change it to gold!"

"No."

Xinghua shook her head vigorously.

"The husband still needs to save money to marry his wife!"

Li Xian sighed, "If you don't open the pot, pick it up."

What he fears most at the moment is being related to the Queen Mother.

It's not that I'm worried about being implicated, but...

"Liu's two unmarried ladies often come to the palace. We have seen them many times. They look so good..." When Zhang Ze came the next day, Li Xian casually probed, and Zhang Ze said with a tangled face: "It's very disappointing. People can rest assured.”

"Relax what?"

"Just go out and feel safe."

Li Xian's cheek twitched and he swore that if the Queen Mother wanted to be related to him, she would refuse to do so. At worst, she would take Xinghua and run north to find a place to graze her cattle.

"It is heard." Zhang Ze said with a gossipy face, "The Queen Mother is looking for girls from various families for the Marquis, so we are here to congratulate the Marquis in advance."

Li Xian said helplessly: "It is not suitable for me to get married early."

"Nineteen is already a late marriage." Zhang Ze said with a smile.

Yang Qi came in, "The official left the palace, and someone invited him to a restaurant."

"He went?"

"went."

Don't worry!

"who is it?"

"Liu Congde."

……

Liu Congde invited his cousin to drink, but Zhao Zhen couldn't refuse, and he also wanted to see him, so he went.Who knew after drinking a few glasses of wine, Liu Congde clapped his hands, and several female prostitutes came in. Zhao Zhen was immediately dumbfounded.

excited.

As the saying goes, if domestic flowers don’t have the fragrance of wild flowers, it’s better to have a wife...

Liu Congde felt secretly happy when he saw this. Even though the doctor said that he was not allowed to drink alcohol until his leg bone was healed, he still raised a glass to invite him.

The last time his aunt slapped him, two of his big teeth were knocked out.Then my aunt said in a very stern tone: "How many more years can I take care of Mrs. Liu? When I pass away, if you are still so stupid and domineering, how can the government tolerate it?"

It is said that it is unintentional, but the listener has intention. Liu Congde thought that if this is the case, wouldn't it be better for me to contact my cousin to have a relationship?
Two female prostitutes carefully selected by Liu Congde were sitting on either side of Zhao Zhen. He felt stiff all over, feeling a wave of fragrance coming over him, and even his throat seemed to be frozen.

Bah!
At this moment, the door was kicked open from outside.

"Bullshit! Is that you?" Liu Congde looked at Li Xian rushing in in shock,
Li Xian grabbed Zhao Zhen and kicked him on the butt, knocking him out.

Immediately, Li Xian came over, picked up a dish, and hit Liu Congde on the head.

"Aunt, help!"

Liu Congde went to the palace with his head full of vegetable soup and his face covered with bloody scabs to ask for an audience with the Queen Mother.

"Who did it?" The Queen Mother was furious.

"It's Marquis Dingyuan!" Liu Congde said in a jealous tone.

"Wait a minute." The angry Queen Mother stopped him from crying, "You said you brought the official family to drink, and there are female prostitutes?"

"Yes! Aunt, it's very interesting... ow!"

The Queen Mother slapped Liu Congde miserably.

Immediately, someone from the palace went to Li's house and brought a pair of jade Ruyi as a reward from the Queen Mother.

"The Queen Mother said, well done."

Li Xian did not come back, but Xinghua representative accepted the reward, and the loyal dog Laifu witnessed the entire ceremony.

Li Xian took Zhao Zhen to the brothel and hired two female prostitutes for him. They were chatting and laughing the whole time, and the two female prostitutes had no chance to take the initiative.

After leaving the brothel, Zhao Zhen felt like he was in another world.

"So, is this a sensual thing?" Zhao Zhen licked his lips, "Why is Brother Guoan so familiar? But do you come here often?"

"Just ignore them." Li Xian said.

Yang Qi was waiting downstairs and whispered to Li Xian: "Liu Congde went to the palace to cry and was slapped by the Queen Mother, who ordered him to go home and be grounded for ten days. The Queen Mother also sent people to your mansion to reward the Marquis with a pair of Ruyi jade. . However, if the Queen Mother knew that the Marquis had brought the officials to the brothel, I don’t know whether she would have rewarded the officials in return..."

Li Xian covered his forehead and said, "Tell the Queen Mother that when officials are young, they are very curious. Many things should be ignored rather than blocked. It's better to let him see it, otherwise he will be obsessed with it and sooner or later he will cause trouble."

I hope the Queen Mother can understand this truth!

Watching Zhao Zhen return to the palace surrounded by Yang Qi and others, Li Xian held a moment of silence for him and walked along this lively street to the outer city.

When we arrived at the gate of the inner city, a group of sergeants were driving away the beggars.

"What does this mean?" Li Xian met the general leading the team.

The general said: "There will be noble people traveling tomorrow. It is a routine matter for us to drive away the beggars. Otherwise, it will be an eyesore to the noble people."

"Where are you going?"

"Throw the car away and rush to the neighboring county." The general smiled and said, "In this case, it is the neighboring county's business."

It is indeed the same through the ages!
At this time, someone shouted: "The little man has a disease in his leg. The doctor said he can't move it. Please forgive me."

This is a big man, with a burly build and a short beard. His skin looks rough and dark, and his hair is messy.Li Xian only took one look and felt that it was wild.

"Northwestern accent." The general said: "The Li family in the northwest is capricious and often invades the border areas. This person is probably a refugee who escaped."

Li Yuanhao!
The name is impressive, but Li Yuanhao is still young at the moment, and it is his father Li Mingde who is in charge of the party.

If there were no party members to check it, the strategic situation of the Song Dynasty would not be so bad.Of course, the Dangxiang people also contained the Northern Liao Dynasty, but in comparison, the Dangxiang rebellion had a greater impact on the Song Dynasty.

"Hold on." Li Xian stopped the sergeant, stepped forward and asked, "Are you from the northwest?"

"Yes." The big man raised his head, his eyes full of defiance.

His left calf was exposed, and there was a wound somewhere on the calf. It looked rotten, with a stench coming over him, and pus could also be seen.

"You've got pus." Li Xian turned around, "Take him on a reverse journey."

The big man was startled, seeing that Li Xian didn't look like he was going to take action, so he allowed the two sergeants to push him against the enemy.

Li Xian asked someone to bring him a knife and clean cloth, boiled them in boiling water, and then re-treated the wound.

The process was naturally brutal, but the big man remained silent except for some sweat on his forehead.

"Good man!" Li Xian praised, bandaged the wound, threw down some materials, and said: "You have clearly seen the steps I did before. Follow them. Remember to boil water to get rid of the evil poison. As long as tonight If you don’t have a fever, your life will be saved.”

He gave the shopkeeper money and told him to take care of the big man before going back.

It was night, and the big man was lying on the bed, touching his forehead from time to time.

When he first arrived in Bianjing, he still had some money, but not enough to see a regular doctor.Yesterday, I went to see a doctor. The doctor said that the wound was suppurating and that he had a narrow chance of death.

The man was desperate, so he bought medicine and applied it in powder form, but it had no effect.

He thought he would definitely die, but he didn't expect...

When the sound of rooster crow came, the big man felt that his calf had never felt more comfortable.

He knew that his life had been saved.

Yesterday, Li Xian asked the shopkeeper to get him a crutch, so the big man went to find the shopkeeper.

"May I ask who the person who saved me yesterday was?"

The shopkeeper yawned, "This is Dingyuan Marquis Li Xian. Why, you still want to repay your kindness?"

Why does a marquis need you, a refugee, to repay his kindness?

The big man nodded seriously, "I, the King, will repay your kindness!"
