Since ancient times, there have been two kinds of ruined emperors, one is stupid, and the other is too clever and conceited.

Yang Guang and Zhao Ji are the latter.

This kind of emperor's thoughts turn quickly, his mind is uncertain, moody, and his subordinates are difficult to figure out.

At this moment, Liang Shicheng couldn't grasp the emperor's thoughts.

He observed that his words were fruitless, quickly weighed the pros and cons, and decided that neutrality was politically correct, and cautiously probed: "Sage, say this, the slave and maid really know something." Why don't you tell the saint about it, it should be an interesting thing to relieve boredom? ”

Zhao Ji nodded slightly.

Liang Shicheng said with a smile: "Wen Chengbo has a witty saying, if you don't go to Jiangnan, you don't know that you have too little money; If you don't go to the capital, you don't know how small your official is. ”

Zhao Ji made a questioning sound, then touched his beard and pondered, showing a little smile.

Liang Shicheng touched the emperor's attitude, immediately adjusted his attitude, slightly biased towards Zhao Lian, and continued to say with a tentative smile: "When Wen Chengbo was an official at the beginning, he once served the saint to play, and the slave saw that he was so old and mature, and he was curious for a while, and he also asked similar questions. ”

Zhao Ji was obviously interested.

Liang Shicheng didn't dare to hang the emperor's appetite, and hurriedly said: "He said with a smile at the time, 'Speak elegantly, bully the weak, and the gentleman is not ashamed; Provoking the strong, the wise do not. To put it vulgarly is to bully the weak, and if you are not energetic and tasteless, you will only lose face; If you provoke the strong, you won't be able to get others, you will only be stepped on. Moreover, the family inheritance is based on benevolence and filial piety, and discipline is very strict in this regard. Bullying the weak is punished. As for the strong, my family has been bullied badly enough by the evil neighbor Cui family for decades, and the lesson is profound. Now that he has just entered the officialdom, he is a small sesame official, with no roots and no support, how can he get up? The important thing is that the saint favors him, and he should uphold the family motto, serve the country loyally, and repay the saint's kindness, how can he be foolish? ’”

This is basically Zhao Qing's original words. Because the slave maid felt it very deeply at that time. I have clearly remembered it for so many years, and it also warns the slave and maid to be a down-to-earth person, serve the saint wholeheartedly, live up to the kindness of the saint, and follow the saint with roots and support, so as not to accidentally offend the strong and die unjustly. ”

Speaking of this, Liang Shicheng was full of emotion, and he did feel a little emotional, and he felt a little guilty about Zhao Lian.

Back then, he was just a dispensable little eunuch, who suffered a lot in the palace, and in Zhao Lian's words, he was like a candle in the wind.

Fortunately, Tong Guan wanted to leave Beijing and recommended him. The emperor chose several clever eunuchs, including him, to serve him closely, but it was Zhao Lian who generously helped him quickly stand on his feet, and helped him to reach his current position much more smoothly than another history, and became the internal minister with huge invisible power.

In the final analysis, the emperor is just Liang Shicheng's power. is really a worker, Zhao Lian is his guts.

Zhao Lian does not lack courage, but also lacks talent and family strength support, can he not have him Liang Shicheng, he is still majestic, riding the wind and waves. contrarily

Liang Shicheng was shocked, and secretly reviewed that he was living a comfortable life now, and he couldn't help but be arrogant, and he didn't do his best to help himself when the emperor questioned Zhao Lian.

This is the foundation of self-destruction, and it is the shameless fool that Zhao Lian despises the most.

Although Lao Cai and his ilk are high and powerful, they are invincible, how old are they? I'm not too young, how long can I serve the emperor? When you get old or fall out of favor, you don't know where you were kicked and died. If you want to live a long time, if you want to rely on your old age, and if your family is protected, you still have to rely on the righteous Zhao Lian.

Don't be fooled anymore.

He was slightly distracted. Zhao Ji figured it out.

The sage said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Zhao Qing is talented, so he naturally understands this truth. He was born on the border, he grew up listening to the sound of fighting when he was young, and he went into battle to kill the enemy at a young age, how could he not have the guts?

When going out of the palace in casual clothes, Zhao Qing is the best companion, elegant and interesting, and can protect with him, once knocked down four or five ruffians who are not long-eyed and want to blackmail, showing his elegant other side of bravery, so that Lian can play at ease and happy. Such a capable person does not dare to be arrogant, because he feels that the official is too small.

Thinking of the Cui family, Zhao Ji couldn't help but snort.

The poetry and book family, which has been inherited for thousands of years, actually took refuge in a foreign barbarian state, and the one in the territory has been wiped out, but at the beginning of the trial, there were also descendants and branches in the land of Youyan to collude with the Liao people to prevent the incident from being wiped out, which is really punishable.

He threw aside all the twists and turns of Zhao Lian.

Liang Shicheng knew that this was a stay. It means that Zhao Lian's arrogant younger brother should not have trouble.

But Zhao Lian knows, don't be too happy.

The emperor's mind has a time effect. These folds are handles. If you don't deal with it now, it doesn't mean later. Whether it is the participant or the participant, if anyone is unlucky, these old things are sins that can be brought out.

When Liang Shicheng's henchman and little eunuch came to the Zhao Mansion in disguise, the Zhao Mansion was jubilant and lively, and there was no worry and tension after the accident. He couldn't help but smack his tongue and secretly envy.

Look at the self-confidence and courage of others!

When I saw Zhao Lian, I didn't say anything, just made an O gesture.

Zhao Lian and Yan Yue smiled and said, "Go back and tell Lao Liang, let him bother." ”

This attitude and heavy reward moved the little eunuch to hate to immediately switch to the Zhao Mansion.

If you can be a slave here, then you can meet Allah, and live a nourishing and happy life like these family slaves in the Zhao Mansion. In the palace, what is the life of a person?

Zhao Lian saw that the little eunuch's eyes were red, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Why are you still crying?" Xiao Laifu, you are good, follow Lao Liang to work hard. We have known each other for so long, what are the difficulties at home, and it is inconvenient for Lao Liang to take care of them. You're here to find a housekeeper. Don't be embarrassed. ”

"Hmm."

The little eunuch responded with a cry, and his heart was more determined to follow his uncle secretly.

In fact, his family has long been taken care of, but Zhao Lian has never been in front of him. Almost all the eunuchs in the palace know that Uncle Zhao is merciful, shameless and oppressive of the weak, and really does not discriminate against eunuchs.

Seeing that Zhang Jin dealt with the relevant generals, went to the center as agreed, and had been promoted to the central government, and made a fuss by himself, but there was still no movement in the matter of Cangzhou Zhizhou, Zhao Yue was a little anxious.

Wen Huanzhang said with a smile: "Don't worry, second son. ”

"The foreshadowing that should be done in the palace has been done. The border is dangerous, and no one is able to use civilian officials, and no one wants to go. Wait a few days, make trouble again, and see which powerful thief's son is unlucky, offend a ruthless one, make things bigger, and pull the hatred more. At that time, those who are jealous and think that the uncle is in the way in the capital will be hard to catch up with the uncle. The emperor was rebellious. It all fell into place. ”

The Tokyo magnates in this Water Margin used it to recruit and throw away the down-and-out think tank without use, and they had no wisdom and talent, so they could only live as a teacher in Anren Village, outside Jingdong City, but this world has become Zhao Lian's henchman and think tank when his reputation is not obvious. Of course, Zhao Yue tried to find it at the beginning.

Over the years, Zhao Lian, who is too young and lacks experience in officialdom, has been able to go all the way, in addition to the strong support of his family, but also thanks to this rural relict talent who has seen through the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty with cold eyes, loyal assistance and single-minded help.

Subsequently, Zhao Yue took advantage of his mother to pull Xiaohuazi to laugh with his grandmother and relieve the fatigue of the journey, and seized the time to intervene in other matters.

First 'met' Lin Chong, played the banner of Wen Chengbo, it was easy to rely on the home of this great Song Dynasty standard good person, pulling his mother's surname Zhang, Lin Niangzi is also surnamed Zhang, looking familiar and close, there must be a fate or even a relative, and she relied on Lin Niangzi as her sister. The honest Lin Chong was passively promoted to brother-in-law.

In fact, when Zhao Yue doesn't spit out poisonous tongue and doesn't show ruthlessness, he has no grudge or resentment, as long as he is a normal person, anyone who sees a beautiful, intelligent, generous and lovely young man like him can't help but feel a little fond.

Lin Niangzi is a virtuous and honest housewife, looking at the young man who has taken off the embroidery on her head and looks like a pure and sunny little novice, she doesn't believe that this will be a vicious little bully who does bad things.

Zhao Yue did not hide his notoriety, and the milk brother proudly boasted on his behalf: "My fourth brother is a little bully who specializes in stepping on bad guys." Megatron Cangzhou and Tokyo. When I practice this matter, I should also take it. ”

Lin Chong and his wife looked at the two arrogant and confident teenagers with amusement, and a wave of emotion surged in their hearts.

Some envy their vigor, courage and strong protection. This is how hard it is to live.

They are as honest as the ninety-nine percent of the people at the bottom of the feudal power, they can't afford to offend the powerful, they don't want to rebel, they have to be honest and tolerant, and they want to endure it anymore, so they want to live a simple life with a foothold, but they are all smart people who have read books, and they are not lacking in knowledge in the capital, and they also vaguely understand the origin of Zhao Yue's strange nickname.

This child is not really a wicked person.

The reason for its notoriety is that Puji is not well-known. It should be the best portrayal and proof of 'good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles'.

It should be those villains who have suffered in Zhao Yue, and after getting out, they have a grudge and can't retaliate, so they spread rumors everywhere, slander Zhao Yue, and destroy the reputation of the Zhao family.

The couple guessed the right direction, but they didn't guess the real inside story.

In Cangzhou and Liangshan, Zhao Yue made a move, which would give the villains a chance to get out and spread rumors and bite back. Those who let go must be intentionally let go. What spreads is also deliberately allowed to spread.

Cangzhao is now an invisible and powerful political bloc, not a powerful family that has no hard power. The increasingly tight net shrouded Cangzhou, stretched out to the whole country, spread to the capital, and kept an eye on the high-ranking officials' mansions and the interior. Some need to be small to fight against life, only to be ruthlessly crushed.

Zhao Yue insisted on Lin Chong as his brother-in-law, but he wanted this first aggrieved general hero of the Water Margin to be able to rely on him one day in the future, abandon the creed of forbearance, straighten his waist, be high-spirited, dare to say and do, be bold, and become the real pillar of the new Liangshan Group.
