This Song Dynasty is different

Chapter 8 You Hit You, I Hit Mine

Cao Li returned home and Huang Xin was waiting.

"I don't know where Li Xian learned his cooking skills. Several cooks tried their best but couldn't imitate it. I am incompetent!"

Cao Li walked to the study and said, "Money is a trivial matter! What I care about is face. Li Xian was so proud that he even said in front of the officials that the knowledge Sun Shi had taught for many years was useless."

Huang Xin was startled, and then said happily: "Sun Shi is a great scholar! He is seeking his own destruction!"

"The official family was trapped in the palace by the Queen Mother and the rules, and could not be free. Li Xian wanted to get him out of trouble. The Queen Mother remained silent, which meant that it didn't matter. But Sun Shi could not move. Otherwise, what would Shilin think? "

Cao Li said leisurely: "The official family is weak, but after interacting with Li Xian, he became a bit tough. This is not a good sign for Sun Shi and others."

Huang Xin smiled and said: "The emperor is tough, and ruling the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats is empty talk."

"In two days, I want to see what happens to the official family!" Cao Li subconsciously covered his face that was slapped with a wataban that day. The big tooth on that side was still hurting.

"I'll wait and see!"

……

The fast food business was very good. Xinghua got up and served Li Xian's breakfast every day, and then hurried to the Cai River to 'inspect'. When she came back, she excitedly told Li Xian about all the excitement.

"...There was a female prostitute who got angry when she couldn't buy one. She said that if anyone buys one for me, it will be [-]% off tonight."

Li Xian was writing and drawing some patterns on paper that Xinghua couldn't understand. Two craftsmen next to him were arguing with a drawing and talking about some terms that Xinghua couldn't understand.

Xinghua's face was red and her eyes were shining brightly. It was obvious that she liked days like this.

"It's just..." Xinghua was a little confused.

Li Xian smiled and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"Mr. Lang, I'm just a person who serves you! How can He De care about this matter?"

Seeing her squirming, Li Xian stood up and said, "That's not a big deal."

"You can make a lot of money in one day! Isn't that a big deal?" Xinghua felt that Lang Jun's words were a bit exaggerated, "Then what is a big deal?"

"Brother Guoan!" A classmate came to visit. He looked at Li Xian carefully first, and when Xinghua served tea, he sighed: "I thought you were crazy, but you don't look crazy!
But since you are not crazy, how dare you provoke Sun Shi?It should be noted that when Mr. Sun was still alive, he spoke of Mr. Sun with admiration and wished he could be his lackey. "

"It wasn't him I provoked." Li Xian took the water glass.

"Then who is the provocateur?"

"So-called rules."

The classmates were shocked, and Xinghua was also very panicked after finding out the matter.

"You and I were good friends back then, so I have an idea for you, just call yourself sick!" The classmate sighed: "It's not shameful to admit defeat in front of Sun Shi!"

It's like throwing away the ax and admitting defeat in front of Lu Ban. It's really not shameful.

Li Xian smiled, "Thank you very much."

Seeing his stubbornness, his classmates sighed and left.

After a while, someone came again, but it was someone from the Imperial City Division.

"Don't say I didn't remind you, someone is waiting for your classmate outside the alley. That person is from Sun Shi's side."

This classmate came to test Li Xian's confidence.

Xinghua was so panicked, "Lang Jun, how about... let's admit defeat! With fast food in hand, Lang Jun will marry a wife and have children in a while, and it will be good to become a rich man."

"I have also admitted defeat." Li Xian thought of another world, "It was just to my relatives."

Zhao Zhen couldn't come out, so Zhang Ze became a sounding board, traveling between the palace and the Li family.

Zhao Zhen first listed the knowledge that Sun Shi was good at, so that Li Xian could know it well and avoid it when arguing.

Then Zhao Zhen came up with another idea...

"The officials said he was pretending to be ill. The Queen Mother would definitely be panicked, and Mr. Sun would definitely drop the matter at this time."

Zhang Ze felt that the official idea was a great one, but it was inevitable that he would be punished by the Queen Mother afterwards.

"Tell the officials to let him eat, drink, and drink in peace, and I don't need to take care of him here."

Zhang Ze reported back to Zhao Zhen, "...Li Langjun even ate barbecue in the courtyard, and the food was very delicious."

Zhao Zhen, who had lost his appetite because he was worried about this matter: "..."

Zhao Zhen had trouble sleeping and eating these past two days and walked around the palace with two dark circles under his eyes.The queen mother didn't say anything when she saw it, and the ministers and ministers laughed secretly when they saw it.

"It would be good for young people to learn a lesson." Feng Zheng said with a smile.

"What Prime Minister Feng said is very true." Wang Zeng glanced at Feng Zheng and knew that the Prime Minister's days were numbered.

On that day, Xinghua got up early, made a fire to cook, prepared washing utensils, and looked at the bedroom worriedly.

Li Xian still got up on time and exercised in the yard.

After finishing a set of Ba Duan Jin, Li Xian felt warm all over.

The breakfast was so rich that Li Xian asked, "Can't you survive?"

"Today is a big day!" Xinghua endured it for a moment, "Mr. Sir, isn't it good for officials to pretend to be sick? Everyone is happy!"

"Everyone is happy, but what I don't like the most is everyone being happy."

Li Xian has always felt that when everything happens, someone will benefit and someone will suffer. There has never been a situation where everyone is happy.

In the palace, Zhao Zhen went to greet the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother looked at the dark circles under his eyes and asked, "Do you regret it?"

If Zhao Zhen had not complained, Li Xian would not have taken the initiative to provoke Sun Shi.

Zhao Zhen nodded, then shook his head.

"Why?" The Queen Mother was a little surprised.

"Since Li Xian dared to say those words, he naturally had a countermeasure." Zhao Zhen said firmly.

"Then why do you have trouble sleeping and eating?"

Zhao Zhen lowered his head and felt a little frustrated. The Queen Mother asked, "Should we pretend to be sick to avoid embarrassment?"

Zhao Zhen raised his head, rubbed his neck and said, "Of course I have to face him together." After saying that, Zhao Zhen resigned.

The Queen Mother smiled happily behind her and said to the people around her: "Young people are not afraid of making mistakes. I hope they can learn more lessons at this age, which will have many benefits in the future. You are young! It's great!"

This was the reason why she sat back and watched, otherwise all it would take was an edict to suppress the matter.Could it be that Sun Shi would still fall out with her?It should be noted that the most indispensable thing in this world is a great scholar. It is not a bad thing to replace a gentleman for the official family.

"Everything in the world is bustling for profit. Everything in the world is bustling for profit!" The corner of the Queen Mother's mouth was slightly raised with some disdain.

... Sun Shi walked out of the house and was greeted by his family.Outside the door, dozens of students were waiting.Seeing him coming out, they all saluted.

"Meet sir."

Sun Shi nodded, turned around and said to his family, "I will be back later."

Immediately, he got into the carriage surrounded by students and left slowly.

At the same time, Li Xian walked out of the house, followed by the worried Xinghua.

There isn’t even a dog!

Li Xian suddenly felt that the house was a little deserted, "Xinghua, how about having a cat and dog at home?"

"Is Mr. Lang still thinking about this?" Xinghua frowned.

"Are you thinking about Sun Shi?"

Li Xian smiled and left immediately.

Walking out of Laoya Lane, the first bridge is in front of you. Li's fast food is selling along both sides of the Cai River, and business is booming.

It’s not bad to be a rich man!
Li Xian sincerely liked Bianjing, but he sincerely disliked the scholar-bureaucrats of this era.

These scholar-bureaucrats only had their own interests in mind. The so-called "for the Song Dynasty" was just their promise to rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats.

The world belongs not only to the Zhao family, but also to us.

So when the Qingli New Deal was introduced, the scholar-bureaucrats felt that they were offended.

This is our world, but the officials and Fan Zhongyan actually want to cut our flesh?
fuck him!

So the Qingli New Deal failed.

During the Shenzong period, Wang Anshi's reform was still the same.

Shenzong said that although most of the scholar-bureaucrats opposed the New Deal, the people supported it!

Mr. Wen Yanbo said calmly: "The officials rule the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats, not the people."

In other words, you can exploit the people, but never touch the interests of the scholar-bureaucrats.

Li Xian didn't want to get involved in that mess, but Zhao Zhen saved his life.He is not a good guy, but he has a bottom line.

He has always felt that his life has been very awkward recently, as if there are two people fighting in his body, and one of them is shouting: "Isn't it good to be a rich man?"Isn’t it delicious to eat, drink and have fun every day, listen to music and dance in a brothel?

Another scolded: Zhao Zhen is so kind to you, but you want to sit back and watch him sink, where is your face?
The weather is getting warmer, and there are more people walking on the street. Everyone's face can no longer be seen as sluggish as a walking zombie. Even if they look angry, they are particularly vivid.

In Bianjing, as long as you work hard, you can find a way to survive.

All the way into the inner city, it became more and more prosperous.

But this prosperity could not last long. A hundred years later, the Jin army came to the city, and Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were kidnapped.From then on, the Song Dynasty hid in the south and lived an ignoble existence.

None of this is any of my business!
Li Xian felt a little irritable.

"Hey! Li Langjun!"

Someone shouted in front of him, but it was Zhang Ze.

This guy winked outside the palace gate, and after Li Xian came over, he whispered: "The official gave it to you."

This is a tips bag. When you open it, there is a folded piece of paper inside.Spread it out, it is densely covered with small words, and even those with poor eyesight can't see it clearly.

"This is a cheat sheet that the official wrote after staying up for two nights. This is what Mr. Sun is good at. The official said that you should read it by heart. Whenever Mr. Sun mentions these good things, he knows it well."

Zhao Zhen was also being watched at night, which meant that if he wanted to stay up late, he had to avoid those people.

Li Xian seemed to see the young man covering the candle with a quilt and copying cheat sheets while it was burning.

The two people in the body magically shook hands and made peace, and the sense of discord disappeared.

Li Xian stuffed the note back and handed it to Zhang Ze, "I don't need this."

Zhang Ze: "..."

All the way to the west pavilion of Chongzheng Hall, Sun Shi hadn't arrived yet, and neither had Zhao Zhen.

Li Xian sat down and closed his eyes to rest.

"Mr. Sun."

I don’t know how long it took, but it became lively outside.

Then, Sun Shi was surrounded by two officials.

"Li Xian?" an official sneered.

Li Xian opened his eyes, stood up and saluted.

"You are arrogant at first and respectful at the end." The official said sarcastically.

"Don't you bow to the elders when you see them?" Li Xian sat down, the official's face flushed with shame.

Sun Shi nodded slightly, sat down and asked, "Are the officials here?"

"We'll be there soon," a chamberlain said.

Sun Xi coughed dryly and said, "In this case, I can still learn a lesson later."

These words remind people of the allusion of Guan Gong warming wine and beheading Hua Xiong: Put the wine there and drink it when I come back after killing the enemy general.

Sun Shi said, "I am good at Mencius. Today, I won't talk about Mencius."

But most of Zhao Zhen's cheat sheets were Mencius... Zhang Ze felt a toothache, turned around and saw Zhao Zhen with dark circles under his eyes.

There are also several prime ministers and assistants.

The prime ministers feel that the official family has been a little out of touch recently, and all of this is inseparable from Li Xian inside.Let Sun Shi teach him a lesson today, which will at least bring order to the chaos.

Not mentioning Mencius, Sun Shi can still defeat Li Xian!

The prime ministers and assistants smiled at each other.

Inside, Li Xian said, "May I ask Mr. Sun, what should officials learn?"

Sun Shi was startled.

Zhao Zhen inexplicably thought of Li Xian's method of dealing with Cao Li: You hit yours, and I'll hit mine!
Hope suddenly lit up in his bloodshot eyes.
