221. Tanuki cat not cat [E]

The official family has to be crowned with the joy of the cat's dragon heart, and the "night court" who has been in the cold palace for a long time has come out to see the world again.

What do the civil and military officials think, they are a little disappointed. This is true, for more than ten years, they have seen the fancy tossing of the official family, are they still afraid of going to court in one night. Alas, time is really a pig-killing knife, thinking that when the official family tossed out the "night court" for the first time, less than ten days later, hundreds of officials cried and shouted in unison, and now they all feel that this matter is just a piece of cake.

They all thought so, how could the official family let them down, so when they went to court at night, they were in groups of four in the brightly lit Jinluan Palace...... Mahjong is played.

That's right, it's playing mahjong.

For a time, the solemn and majestic Jinluan Hall became a lively teahouse.

The heart of the Eight Sages King is broken, I have a hundred years of reputation in the Great Song Dynasty, but the body is very honest, and the official family is so wide as he grows older, although the cuteness value decreases, but the overall charm is rising, the eyes look at the Eight Sage King, and in less than five seconds, the Eight Sage King will not be able to hold on. Not to mention the important ministers sitting here, who usually look like people, at this time, they don't care about respecting and humbling the Eight Sages King of the Dynasty hinting at "don't be hypocritical", phew, it's #Dead Dao Friend, Immortal Poor Dao#, or #Who goes to hell if you don't go to hell#. In the end, no one knows what the official family will make if the Eight Sages King does not sit down to play mahjong with the official family.

Their sixth sense is very accurate, and when the Eight Sages King sat down helplessly, the official family let out a regretful sigh: "It's a pity, I originally thought that if the Eighth Uncle shook his hands and left, and didn't go with you, I would exchange the gold and silver used for winning and losing for whoever lost and took off his clothes." ”

The Eight Sages: "......"

Civil and military officials: "......!! ”

After a moment of silence, the civil and military officials piled up all the coins they brought on the table, especially the two prime ministers who wanted to accompany the official's family to play mahjong, not to mention, everyone was not bad for money.

Nowadays, the salaries of officials in the Great Song Dynasty are not low, and the phenomenon of corruption and bribery has been effectively curbed. In addition to the substantial increase in salary, who makes the official family rich, the other reason is that the official family is too rich, just the contribution of the national chamber of commerce has made the private treasury of the official family build one after another, so the problem comes, you don't know if the businessman who comes to bribe you with thousands of family wealth is standing behind the official family, if not, then you are lucky to go shit, but what if? Think about it, if you just received a bribe on the front foot, the official on the back foot will know about it...... You won't want to know the consequences.

Moreover, even if it is not a businessman but a low-level official who bribes you, you will not want to know the result of being investigated and punished, and now the governing thinking of the Great Song Dynasty has been towards the Legalist thought of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period - no, strictly speaking, it is not very orthodox Legalist thought, if you have to give it a name, it is the official thought, the imagination makes you feel the edge, and if you touch it, you will not be far from the official thought of soaring Huang Tengda - the posture of getting closer.

Taking a step back, such trends as corruption and bribery, forming parties and running private interests, etc., are all idle, but as long as you can see the holy face in the buildings near the water in Bianliang City, then none of them can be idle← the reason is self-evident, and it is a handful of blood and tears to say it.

It's far away, and then let's go back to the new-style upper court law, it seems to be the "gambling king competition", and the only one who is eliminated is to bury his head in dealing with political affairs, and combine work and rest. The newcomer Bao Zhengbao is in a trance to set up a table, won in a trance, and was promoted in a trance - the official family and the promoted one made an appointment to fight again tomorrow, and the eliminated sighed - returned to Kaifeng Mansion in a trance, oh, with the silver won.

Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao also didn't sleep all night, just waiting for Bao Zheng to return home, and when they saw Lord Bao coming back with a pile of silver, Gongsun Ce asked tentatively: "Isn't this a reward from the official family?" ”

Bao Zheng: "...... I won it by playing mahjong. ”

Gongsun Ce: "......? ”

Zhanzhao: "......? Didn't the adults go to the court? ”

Bao Zhengmu let out an "ah", and in the face of Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao's puzzled expressions, he explained dryly: "Gathering people to gamble in the Jinluan Palace, organized by the official family, will continue tomorrow." ”

After speaking, the tired Lord Bao wiped his face and went back to the room quietly, leaving Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce to look at each other, and after a while, Zhan Zhao spoke first: "I think the official family is the one who can do this kind of thing, and sure enough, #meeting is not as good as being famous#." Zhanzhao, who has always been elegant and gentle, can say such prickly words, it can't be said that it is not a "dog jumping over the wall", no, it is a clay figure and a three-point temperament.

It's just that the smart Mr. Gongsun asked sharply: "It's better to be famous than to meet?" Could it be that Brother Zhan learned the word from the official? ”

Zhan Zhao really couldn't argue for a while, after all, this was really the case. Zhan Zhao was annoyed and angry under Mr. Gongsun's smiling expression, and only arched his hand and went back to his house, the white mouse he raised called Xiaobai saw that the owner was still squeaking at him twice, and even wagged his tail like a dog-no way, the cat people in Bianliang City are evolving as natural enemies, and under the survival of the fittest, the rats have to work hard to evolve, but they pity the dog people in Bianliang City, and the rats have even snatched away their skills-Zhan Zhao smiled dumbly, and took out a few pine nuts from his purse and gave them to Xiaobai, and he washed and slept.

"Gathering crowd gambling" continues, the number of people who will be promoted in the future will be pyramid-shaped, the official family will kill all sides as always, and the state of the trance-like Bao is strange, he wants to lose but wins, that is, he has been promoted repeatedly, which is also a bitter force. In the end, there were finally four people left, the official family, Bao Zheng, the Eight Sages King, and Yan Shu.

The first three do not need to be introduced, as for Yan Shu, he is now an official to the governor of the political affairs (deputy prime minister) plus Shangshu Zuocheng, in the Tiansheng years when he was appointed to know the Tianfu, vigorously supported the Tianfu Academy, invited Fan Zhongyan to give lectures, and created a precedent for large-scale education, which was strongly supported by the officials, and then advocated the state and county schools and reformed the teaching content, and the government schools set up professors.

However, the most concerned thing in this last game is not not not only the official who did well, but also the talented Yan Shu. Bao Zheng is a dark horse, although he himself doesn't want to, and the attention is higher than Yan Shu; The official family has always been the big winner, and the civil and military officials are used to it, but who makes the family an official family, the attention is naturally higher; The most concerned is the Eight Sage King, the Eight Sage King who was heartbroken at the beginning of the century-old reputation of the Song Dynasty, and the civil and military officials looked at him with a very subtle expression, obviously he was a mahjong master and pretended to be a big-tailed wolf.

The Eight Sages: "......"

The Eight Sages King is wronged, but in the end, it is the Eight Sages King, no matter how much his psychological activities "turn over the river and the sea", he still looks like a master with a light breeze on his face. Originally, the Eight Sages King was the eighth uncle of the official family, only twenty-five years older than the official family, but the people were well maintained, and they were noble, and they were called graceful, that is, they had an extraordinary temperament, and they didn't look like they were nearly fifty years old, but like a middle-aged and beautiful uncle in their thirties and forties.

As the saying goes, blue face is a curse, a curse is a curse, and this point has been verified by the Eight Sages King today.

The origin of the matter is really not in this last gamble, but in the official family who named Zhanzhao as the "royal cat". Nanxia Zhanzhao is famous in the rivers and lakes, he won the official title, and also joined Kaifeng Mansion, which caused an uproar on the rivers and lakes. Although they disdain the court on the surface, but in the end this is the era of the monarchs of heaven and earth, and the fear of the monarch is engraved in the bones, and now Zhanzhao, as the first person to eat crabs, is naturally widely spread, and it didn't take long for the "five rats" in the rivers and lakes to know.

Calling people to be restrained in the nickname is naturally unbearable.

Bai Yutang, the youngest of the five rats, was the most arrogant, how could he swallow this breath, and sneered at the moment: "I just let the people in the rivers and lakes and the mediocre people in the court take a look, it is the royal cat Qiang who shows Zhao, or we five rats leave." Cat and mouse? Oh, I'm going to have a mouse and cat. ”

Among the five rats, Bai Yutang is the youngest, but his martial arts are the highest, plus he is handsome, and the other four rats usually treat him as a younger brother and a son. Therefore, as soon as Bai Yutang said this, the other four rats naturally had to support it, and they went straight to Bianliang City together.

Bai Yutang is also angry with the official family, he has always been sharp, but he has no reverence for the king, and he has always acted uninhibitedly, so he broke into the palace at night, so as to take the opportunity to "break ground on Tai Sui's head".

It was just so coincidental that when he broke into the palace at night, it was the last gambling game, Bai Yutang shuttled through the palace like a fluttering leaf, and the Ouchi guards didn't seem to be alarmed, and he stole the imperial treasure that had been explored a long time ago from the royal private treasury. However, when passing above the Jinluan Palace, he suddenly heard that the hall was very lively, and under curiosity, he deftly uncovered the tiles and listened down.

Bai Yutang had always been very confident in his martial arts, and he didn't think he had alarmed anyone, but when he looked down, he met a pair of bright cat's eyes. Bai Yutang didn't think it was a coincidence, because after seeing him, those cat's eyes still tilted their heads and closed one alone, which reflected the one of Bai Yutang's exposed eyes.

But Bai Yutang didn't think so, this was just a naked-naked provocation.

And that's right, Bai Yutang recognized the owner of this pair of cat's eyes as Zhanzhao. It's also strange to say, although Zhan Zhao is only in his twenties, he has been famous in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he has also won the title of Nanxia, and the five rats have also been famous for a long time, but they have never taken a face, probably the last time he flashed his eyes in his eyes five hundred times in his previous life, cough, anyway, Bai Yutang doesn't know what Zhan Zhao looks like.

However, now that the other party's ears were strong enough to hear the subtle movements he made on the roof, and Bai Yutang also saw the sword that the other party had placed in his hand, he preconceived that it was the giant sword used by Zhanzhao. In the face of his provocation, Bai Yutang immediately hooked the corners of his lips and sneered, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, he will be able to show off the cat!

The fifth master has always been so good-looking and forceful in his work, he took out a flying locust stone, hit the mahjong card out of the Eight Sages King, and directly hit the mahjong card in half, and then said loudly: "Zhanzhao, come out and try it with me, otherwise next time my flying locust stone will not hit the emperor's mahjong card!" ”

The Manchu civil and military forces did not panic, their first reaction was that this was a show drummed up by the officials? Next, they believed that this was just a fun show, because the official picked up a sword, and his face sank like water: "In this way, I can only go all out." ”

Bao Zheng: "......?!! "What is this? Official, you're not Zhanzhao! And shouldn't the person who spoke up be a thief who broke into the palace at night? Official, you're not going to put yourself in danger, are you?

- It can only be said that the truth is often in the hands of a few!

In the stunned state of Bao Zheng, who was the only truth, and in the mood of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs preparing to watch a good show, the official family took the sword and walked out of the Jinluan Palace step by step with the extraordinary bearing of # Feng Xiao Xiao, Yi Shui Han, and the strong man who will never return# in front of the palace.

A full moon in the sky, one white and one red are opposite between heaven and earth, and the shadow becomes four people, what a good artistic conception. If there were no Manchu civil and military people crowded on the corridor outside the Jinluan Palace to watch a good show, it would be really meaningful.

Bai Yutang's sword eyebrows furrowed, he had already noticed that something was wrong: "Your internal strength is shallowβ€”"

"Don't talk about it!" The official family clenched the giant sword in his hand - yes, this is really Zhanzhao's giant sword, since it is acting, the prop must be fake, or simply take out the real thing - the sadness and indignation in his tone, the sadness of not wanting to be salted on the wound again, and the strength that will still get up after falling is called a complex and touching heart.

Bai Yutang really requisitioned, "You-"

The official family hooked his lips and smiled, as if he was sad and helpless The flowers fell: "It's okay to talk to you, the official family saw that Zhanzhao was as beautiful as a flower, so he made up his mind to force him to become a prostitute, how could Zhanzhao give in, this internal force is the price!" After saying that, he let out a long sigh, and there seemed to be crystal tears in those bright eyes.

Bai Yutang: "......"

Civil and military officials: Is it really good for the "......" official family to be so black? However, the acting skills of the official family are becoming more and more exquisite, look at the passionate voice, if they don't know what virtues the official family has, they will really believe it.

Bao Zheng, who came back to his senses and followed from the hall and squeezed in front of the Eight Sages King: "......! But that's not the point, the point is, "Lord, quickly call the Royal Forest Army to escort you!" ”

The Eight Sages King was puzzled: "Isn't the official family acting?" ”

Bao Zheng: "......??" Bao Zheng looked left and right at his colleagues in the Manchu Dynasty, none of them were worried, but they looked at it with relish, and he was also confused, what the hell is going on?

Yan Shu saw that Bao Zheng was confused and confused, and explained in a whispered voice that was very popular with his colleagues: "After a year and a half, no, you will have a deep understanding in a month." The other ministers were also concerned, Bao Zhengna was tired, and at this time, Bai Yutang, who was greatly affected in his heart, stretched out his hand and pointed to the Eight Sages King who was standing in the middle, "You mean he-"

The official said sonorously: "Yes, he is a well-dressed beast!" ”

Yan Shu threw Bao Zheng a "look" look, and the Eight Sages King who was lying down and was also shot: "......" Why is he dressed like a beast? Wait, there seems to be something wrong, before the Eight Sages King came back to his senses, the official family said leisurely: "You better go quickly, your appearance and Zhanzhao's are between the best, the official family will definitely make your idea, as if you want to seal Zhanzhao as a concubine Zhao, and make you a white concubine. ”

Bao Zheng: "......!! ”

At this time, I don't know which minister muttered: "Is the threesome that the official said the threesome the threesome I thought?" ”

As soon as this person spoke, other people immediately commented: "I didn't expect that "threesomes must have my teacher" can still be used like this? If Sage Kong knows about it, he must be smiling at Jiuquan. ”

"Speaking of which, the official family is the best-looking, the 'beauty' of this companion beauty-" The rest of the words, everyone is here, so you don't have to say it.

When everyone had different opinions, someone answered, "I wonder if you realize one thing?" ”

"What?"

"The official family said that Concubine Zhao and Concubine Bai, they are all men... bar. ”

Civil and military officials: "!! "Why did they only come to the point now when it was so obvious? Could it be that the official family really wants to come to the threesome, isn't it, he has broken his sleeves?! Don't be like this, it's just acting... Right? They themselves are not sure, after all, the emperor next to this kind of thing can't sit out, even if the sleeve is really broken, it is secretly broken, but their official family can't do anything!

The matter is not over yet, Bai Yutang seems to be unable to react to the unexpected bloody dog of this big pot, and another person who is also demented is to learn that his giant sword was borrowed by the official family, so he has a bad intuition and rushed to the palace Zhanzhao, he happened to hear the official family's "beauty by flowers", and at the moment he stumbled in his light posture like a swallow in mid-air, and almost caused non-combat damage when he landed.

Zhan Zhao took a deep breath and said helplessly to the official family who was pretending to be him: "The official family is really hindering your image by doing this!" ”

"How can man be perfect? Alas. The official blinked as he spoke, and the water vapor that had been lingering in his eyes gathered into tears and fell, the official family really entered the play!

Zhanzhao: "......"

Bai Yutang: "?? ”

The Eight Sages King grabbed Bao Zheng's wrist, and his voice trembled: "Isn't this the collusion between the official family and Zhan Shaoxia?" ”

Bao Zheng hesitated and shook his head: "It shouldn't be." With Zhanzhao's temperament, it is impossible for him to accompany the official family to play like this.

What was the Eight Sages waiting for, and immediately shouted, "Where is the Imperial Forest Army? Come and escort! ”

Manchu Dynasty Civil and Military: "!! "Isn't it acting? Oh my God, it's over! If the official family is missing a hair, they will collectively cut themselves to thank the world.

The official flattened his mouth, returned the giant sword to Zhanzhao, and said as if admiring: "Xiong Fei, your ability to attract bees and butterflies is not small, too, dogs and bears love honey, and cats love to flutter butterflies." ”

Zhan Zhao really couldn't cry or laugh, co-authoring or was it his fault?

After the official family teased Zhanzhao, he didn't forget Bai Yutang: "Jin Mao Mouse Bai Yutang." ”

Bai Yutang was shocked, he suddenly remembered what the official family said about the 'white concubine' before, obviously he knew his identity from the beginning, was that - the official family knew that the five rats had entered Bianliang City, and that he would break into the palace at night today? The next moment, Bai Yutang's idea was confirmed, and the official smiled like a spring flower: "Congratulations, you and the other four rats have successfully attracted my attention when they entered Bianliang City. Do you have a complaint against me? ”

Bai Yutang's expression was awe-inspiring, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was not afraid of power.

The official raised his eyebrows: "I know, do you think the title of Concubine Bai is not good?" What about Concubine Jin? Or the Jade Princess? ”

Bai Yutang: "......"

Zhan Zhao: "......" Zhan Zhao inexplicably had a delicate sense of balance in his heart that #Solo Joy is not as good as Everyone's Happiness#, but he quickly put this wrong idea behind him, and couldn't bear Bai Yutang being ruined (?) ), and called the official.

The official sighed slightly: "Nowadays, people's sense of humor is really declining, alas." ”

Zhanzhao: "......" This is really not a question of humor or not!

The official family is going back to continue playing mahjong, and it is very freehand to go back, and the eight sages and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military have knelt on the ground: "The ministers are not effective in escorting, please punish the officials." ”

Is the official family the kind of indiscriminate king? He said helplessly: "What do you look like when you cry, why did I say that I would punish you for going to Bianliang City to run naked?" ”

Civil and military officials: "......!! ”

Zhanzhao: "......"

Bai Yutang: "......"

The two of them glanced at each other, and inexplicably felt pity for each other in their hearts.

So the official matchmaker, cough, this play is not without a positive spirit, in the end, there are two sides to everything. However, after such an experience, the spirit of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs completely stopped, and the Eight Sages King was also very annoyed, and he didn't care about humility, so he only took out the elders' money and said bitterly: "The official family usually likes to play and play, but this is related to the dragon body, and it is related to the affairs of the country and the society, how can the official family be so child's play?" If there is any mistake in the official family, how can the minister be worthy of the ancestors and the true ancestors? ”

The civil and military officials were also concerned, but when the Eight Sages King mentioned Zhenzong, they couldn't help but roll their eyes in their hearts. Please, how do you think the official family is so "fun-loving"? If there is no real sect and no bottom line to protect it, why would the official family be so "fun-loving" since childhood? People are #drowning like killing son#, Zhenzong is drowning like killing ministers!

The official family also seemed to know that he had reined in, he looked at the Eight Sages King sincerely, and said sincerely: "Isn't there an eighth uncle in my heart? ”

Not good, the Eight Sages King may be defeated!

Usually, how many ministers are so angry that they want to go to heaven and just pick their sons and quit, but looking at the eleven years since the official family ascended the throne, has anyone really successfully resigned? No, sometimes the official family looks at you like that, you don't need to say anything, you surrender, not to mention that now the official family has also sacrificed a big killing move, and the Eight Sages King can stand up to it is a real warrior!

The Eight Sages King He ...... He didn't hold up. "Alas, I just hope there will be no next time."

"Okay." The official family responded obediently, and the official family touched his chin, "Eighth uncle, I have been thinking about a question since Bai Shaoxia appeared, is it that my domineering spirit is insufficient?" Why did Bai Shaoxia mistake you for Uncle Eight? ”

The Eight Sages King now finally understood what was wrong before, and he was about to kneel down immediately, but he heard the official say: "That's why I said, 'Isn't there an eighth uncle?', eighth uncle, you are my stand-in, just like a straw man like a grass man, a stand-in for a demon in folk practice." ”

The Eight Sages King: "......" Bai was moved, but the Eight Sages King also knew in his heart that the official family was giving him a step, but there were just a few fucks on this step, and there were really only so many of them!

In general, the official family has a special skill of turning enemies into friends, and after Bai Yutang personally learned more about the origin of Zhanzhao's 'Royal Cat' title, the original grievances suddenly disappeared, and there was a little more subtle sympathy. The dispute between the five rats and the royal cat has not really begun, it has already ended, but the seeds of the flower of friendship have been quietly planted, of course, when Bai Yutang Bai Wuye sees the real guinea pig raised by Zhanzhao Zhan Shaoxia, whether the flower of friendship can still bloom quietly, that's another story.

Seeing that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were progressing smoothly, the official family regretted it in his heart, he was actually really bored, and he knew that he would not let the two of them skip killing each other and fall in love (?). stage. However, the official family has the aura of heaven and earth, and he is the darling of God, and after he was bored, there was information from his businessman network, which made the official's eyes shine.

What is this message? Do you still remember the 'prince' in the tanuki exchange for the prince twenty-four years ago? That's him. But what's going on here? Let's listen to the next breakdown.
