In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the science of adult pigs had not yet appeared, and it had experienced five generations of ethical collapse, coupled with the unbridled fashion of the Tang Dynasty, so the boys and girls among the nobles had been playing together since childhood.

Although it can't talk about free love, as long as the children are usually identified, there is little opposition to being a parent, otherwise Zhao Pu and Li Chongju would not have married their children in such a position of melon fields and plums, is it true that these two big guys have no political IQ? Anyway, almost ninety percent of the bureaucrats firmly believe that the two young people must be in a hurry, and even the raw rice is cooked and matured.

Now, Zhao Tingmei's face is estimated to be similar to Li Chongju back then.

But that's his own daughter, can he still beat someone to death? If you don't kill you, do you dare to drag it out? What if you get pregnant? Don't dare to delay, does he dare to give Cao Bin a face? The girl is getting married, that is to enter someone's house, is it a lack of heart to offend her father-in-law?

So just two days later, Sun Chunming received an invitation to attend the engagement banquet of Cao Bin's second son Cao Jue and Zhao Tingmei's eldest daughter.

Sun Chunming couldn't laugh or cry about this, he never expected that Cao Bin would even dare to calculate Zhao Tingmei's daughter in order to create a suitable time to meet, which shows that he is really under pressure.

"This Cao Bin, his heart is ruthless enough, he used to underestimate him."

On the day of the engagement, Zhao Tingmei, Sun Chunming, Cao Bin, and Zhao Pu, who had recently played well with Zhao Tingmei, gathered around a table, and others were embarrassed to share the table with them, even if it was Xue Juzheng.

Zhao Dezhao naturally wanted to come over in person, drank two glasses of wine, encouraged the couple, and went back, and on such a festive day, Cao Bin and Sun Chunming naturally did not talk about the annoying political affairs, but purely based on personal friendship, recalling the past, there was no shortage of pleasant cooperation experiences between the two, so soon the two of them were like Bing Shi's previous suspicions.

After the banquet ended, they went back to their respective homes, Sun Chunming and Cao Bin just happened to stop by again, and it was normal to talk and laugh together, such a big leader, ordinary people couldn't get together to talk.

"Brother Chunming, between you and me, it's really not easy to chat, it's hard for you, remember our friendship."

"Yes, Brother Cao, time flies, in a blink of an eye, we have known each other for almost twenty years."

Cao Bin said: "Brother Chunming still has something to say, didn't you say enough polite words just now?" Time is limited. ”

"Okay, then I'll be straightforward, you still seem to be hesitating about my conditions?"

"Of course, everyone knows that the Military Commission is the lifeblood of the new army, and it is all in your hands, I should be blind, is this military power yours or mine? Then I won't be able to fight you for the rest of my life? ”

Sun Chunming smiled: "Is a life very long? For me, it is true that there are still some years, for Brother Cao, but it is not easy to say, Brother Cao, you are more than ten years older than me, that is, longer than life, my chances of winning are also greater than you, the most important thing is that I have a good son, even if you can beat me, you may not be able to fight Brother Yue, even if you can fight Brother Yue, can you fight with him longer than his life? ”

Cao Bin's face was bitter when he heard this, what is the book under the door, what company, these are all things outside the body, and people's sons are the real hole cards of others, how can this be reasonable? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chirp sourly: "Alas, if I have such a son, you may not be able to hold my lifeline so easily, just with the ability of our two old guys, I really may not be able to obey you." ”

Sun Chunming nodded with a smile, and didn't fight him, but went down the slope and said: "Alas, Brother Cao, you don't know, this stinky boy doesn't let me worry at all, basically there is no time to be obedient, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu had a bad relationship back then, don't you know what the relationship between our father and son is?" I don't believe that your son dares to talk back to you, this stinky boy is really getting older and more ignorant, two days ago I asked him to send his grandson to me, and he refused without giving any face, I really envy you, my son is well-behaved and obedient, it is really better than anything else, we are all this age, isn't it just teasing grandchildren? ”

Cao Bin's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly: "Let's get down to business." ”

Sun Chunming smiled: "Okay, then I'll get down to business, Brother Cao, I really don't know, what's the point of you arguing with me, for yourself?" You are not the kind of person with monstrous ambitions, and you can't fight my father and son, for the Zhao family? Hehe, for all the people of the world? I am not as good as you in the battlefield competition, but you are far worse than me in the rich country and the people. ”

Cao Bin glanced at him and said, "It's true that I'm not ambitious, but I now think that your father and son are, and you want to take me as a child." Hehe, I've got to give myself a little confidence. ”

Sun Chunming said: "The confidence is not left like this, you look at me, my son is my greatest confidence, in case the official family is crazy and dares to harm me, Yue'er will lead troops into Beijing, and my waist is harder than you." ”

Cao Bin frowned and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Brother Cao, I see that your son is also a dragon and phoenix among people, why don't you follow suit? Brother Can'er is not much younger than me, Brother Wei is also sixteen this year, sixteen years old, Brother Yue has already conquered the world when he was sixteen, now, Zhuzhou is a good place to make great contributions, Yue'er is there again, if you agree, you and I will join hands to let them pass, I guarantee that Yue'er will be sincerely reused, lead the troops alone, Can'er is steady, like you, let him be a capital supervisor is also qualified, Wei'er, this child I think is quite aggressive, I promise, within three years, let him at least become the deputy commander, do things under Yue'er, This is the confidence, even if there are any changes in Beijing in the future, your Cao family will have successors, how? ”

Cao Bin was surprised: "Do you want Sun Yue to hold Can'er and Wei'er?" The life and death of the country, can it still be traded like this? Can Sun Yue agree? Are you father and son so unprincipled? ”

Cao Bin was not so worried about whether the two sons would become hostages if they threw Sun Yue into their hands, on the contrary, if the Sun family really wanted to do that ambitious thing in the future, Sun Yue would definitely lead his division back to Beijing, and when the time came, he, the privy envoy, could leave the two sons in the north, as long as he did not break with Sun Chunming, their family would be as stable as Mount Tai.

But he was still shocked, in his memory, shouldn't this be the character of the Sun family's father and son, can such an important event as the frontier be taught privately?

"Yue'er, you don't have to worry, it's too late for him to be happy, you don't have to look at me like this, after all, their brothers are Jianghuzi, you taught them yourself, don't you know it in your heart? We all believe that they are okay and will even become Yue'er's right-hand man in the future. ”

Cao Bin didn't speak, he felt that he couldn't get over this threshold in his heart.

"At the fork in the road, we should part ways, what I want to say today has been finished, you think about it for two more days, I'll wait for your news."

With that, Sun Chunming turned around and left.

Sun Chunming really has a clear conscience, Cao Can, who is known as Little Cao Bin, second-rate military ability and first-class political ability, Cao Wei, one of the four generals in the early Song Dynasty, is not much worse than Li Jilong, Li Jiqian, who was originally beaten in history, is called Dad, and these two people are definitely public and private to send their sons.
