On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when everyone was lighting up thousands of homes, Zhang Chao and Du Yulu were drinking wine here with a glass of wine. However, the alcohol and reading in this era are not high after all, and Zhang Chao, an official who has been tested by "alcohol" in later generations, is naturally not afraid of these degrees of alcohol, and after drinking a full seventy or eighty glasses, he just blushed a little, and he was not drunk. And after Zhang Chao and Du Yulu had seventy or eighty glasses of wine, the sky was gradually brightening, and the big rooster had begun to crow, indicating that it was almost dawn tomorrow.

"Well, Master Zhang, why do you seem to have two heads?" Du Yulu asked a little drunk.

Zhang Chao immediately knew that Du Yulu should be drunk by now, obviously drinking too much. At this time, Zhang Chao saw that the sky was about to dawn, and it would not be good to see Du Yulu if he was drunk here. Other officials will soon come to work, and when Du Yulu and a woman get drunk in the yamen of the ministry, how bad is this. And if you let people know that they are drinking with other women at night, this obviously has a very bad effect. So Zhang Chao decided to leave with Du Yulu quickly.

"Director Zhang, you go first! Now that it's dawn, you can take Miss Du away! Don't worry, we'll help you! An official from the Ministry of Industry said.

Zhang Chao implemented the reform of the examination method in the Ministry of Industry, although he killed a number of officials in the Ministry of Industry, but many people were able to gain benefits, so now they are also willing to help Zhang Chao cover up. And Zhang Chao didn't say much, he left the palace ahead of schedule and left, and then came outside the palace.

"Miss Du, where is your home?" Zhang Chao asked.

"Well, where is my home? I don't know, I don't have a home, and I've been displaced from my father since I was a child! Du Yulu said in a daze.

When Zhang Chao heard this, he couldn't help but secretly scolded Du Yulu for being drunk. However, Zhang Chao soon had a way, that is, to use the method of later generations, go directly to the inn to open a house, and then let Du Yulu live in it. Anyway, he should go where he needs to go when he sobers up.

"Let's go to the upper room!" Zhang Chao said.

"Oh, I'm staying so early! What a rarity! "The shopkeeper was still a little surprised.

The shopkeeper immediately took Zhang Chao to a guest room, and then Zhang Chao also brought Du Yulu to the room. When Zhang Chao just wanted to put Du Yulu on the bed, something happened that surprised Zhang Chao.

"Poof!"

Du Yulu actually took the initiative to kiss Zhang Chao on the lips, which made Zhang Chao a little surprised for a while, he was actually kissed by a woman, this is incredible.

And after Du Yulu finished kissing Zhang Chao, she immediately began to whisper something.

"Lin Shoumin, I like you......"

"Damn, sure enough, there is no pie-in-the-sky good thing in this world! It turns out that this Miss Du Yulu is drunk and treats me as someone else! Zhang Chao thought speechlessly.

However, at this moment, Zhang Chao suddenly had thousands of thoughts flashing in his mind, and his eyes suddenly became firm.

……

About two hours later, Zhang Chao took the initiative to look at Du Yulu, who was still sleeping, and a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes. What happened just now was already obvious, Zhang Chao and Du Yulu had an intimate relationship, and Zhang Chao asked Du Yulu's body. And Zhang Chao did this because he had his thoughts, and he had a deeper purpose for this Du Yulu.

"What's wrong with me?" Du Yulu woke up and asked.

Du Yulu saw that she and Zhang Chao were both disheveled, and immediately screamed, and she realized what had happened just now.

"Smack!" Du Yulu slapped Zhang Chao, and then said angrily; "You are shameless, you actually took the opportunity to take advantage of me!"

Zhang Chao said even more shamelessly: "My Miss Du Yulu, it seems that you took advantage of me just now!" You helped me force it to be pushed, and then when you were doing it with me, you were still shouting Lin Shoumin, who is Lin Shoumin! ”

Du Yulu touched her forehead, obviously her head was still a little painful after she had just been drunk, and then said, "Did I say Lin Shoumin?" I actually think you are Lin Shoumin? ”

"Yes! Who is that Lin Shoumin? Zhang Chao asked.

Zhang Chao knew that Du Yulu definitely had a knot in her heart, she had misunderstood that she was a Lin Shoumin before, which meant that she was somewhat similar to this Lin Shoumin, as for what was similar, this was definitely to be inquired carefully. And this Lin Shoumin may be where Du Yulu's heart knot lies, and he must find a way to break it, otherwise it will not be easy to conquer this Du Yulu next.

Du Yulu suddenly became very calm, and then took the initiative to say, "Get dressed!" ”

When the two got dressed, Du Yulu took the initiative to say; "Lin Shoumin is a former friend of my father, and a county magistrate of the former Sui. However, he is dead now, and he died in troubled times to protect the people. ”

"Then why did you think of me as him?" Zhang Chao asked rhetorically.

"When I was ten years old, that is, at that time, my father traveled everywhere in troubled times, and I met this magistrate. He is in his thirties, and he is a good official who loves the people like a son. Du Yulu said.

And when Du Yulu recalled, he obviously still had some nostalgia.

At that time, my father was moved by his love for the people and took the initiative to help him. But I also liked him at that time, but he already had a wife. But my father found out about this and immediately fell out with him and even broke off his friendship. Later, I heard a few years later that he died at the hands of Wang Shichong. ”

"After that, I saw you. First of all, the kind of maturity and temperament in your eyes is not at all like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man, but like a cunning middle-aged man. After that, I really want to see his shadow in you, they all love the people like sons, and they are all good officials. So, maybe I thought you were him yesterday! ”

Hearing Du Yulu's words, Zhang Chao probably understood why Du Yulu didn't want to get married. It turned out that he actually fell in love with someone who could be his father, which made Zhang Chao very surprised.

"Aren't you so lacking in fatherly love?" Zhang Chao complained in his heart.

However, Zhang Chao didn't have the heart to pay attention to that Lin Shoumin, that guy had nothing to do with him, what Zhang Chao had to do was how to use this matter to seek benefits for himself.

"Miss Du, look! You took the initiative to grasp the strong push, and we all did this kind of thing, what do you think? Zhang Chao said.

Du Yulu immediately said, "What's there?" It's good that it didn't happen! ”

"......" Zhang Chao was speechless.

Zhang Chao then remembered that this was the Tang Dynasty, not the Song Dynasty where Cheng Zhu Lixue was initially highlighted, not the Ming Dynasty that starved to death and lost its temperament, nor was it the Qing Dynasty where the husband died and had to be widowed. And this is the Tang Dynasty, a very open era. So there is nothing to protect chastity. The idea of Jie had this kind of sex before marriage. There are definitely not a few behaviors, and this Tang Dynasty can actually be very open to this point, and there is no such sex before marriage. After the behavior, he can't get married, as if the man has suffered a big loss. So Du Yulu doesn't take this matter too seriously, after all, the thinking of the times is like this, and it is not like the one who was killed later and had to find death and get tired of life, and then had to bear the cold words of the neighbors.

"Miss Du, since we both have this kind of relationship, it's better for you to be my woman!" Zhang Chao said.

Du Yulu immediately said: "Impossible, I won't marry!" ”

Zhang Chao immediately said: "If you don't want to marry me, then we can be lifelong partners, the kind of lifelong partners who are not married!" ”

"......" This time it was Du Yulu's turn to be speechless.

Du Yulu really couldn't imagine that Zhang Chao would propose such a method, and actually want to make himself his lifelong partner, but he would not get married. And this statement is really fresh, even Du Yulu, an unmarried person, feels fresh. This kind of thinking of not getting married as a partner is only popular in later generations, and in ancient times, it was important to pay attention to the marriage of men and women. But Zhang Chao took the initiative to propose this plan, which surprised Du Yulu. And Du Yulu has to think that this is a good way, so that she can be with a man, but she will not bear the responsibility of marriage.

"Your method is good, but you can't tempt me!" Du Yulu shook her head and said.

Zhang Chao continued: "Miss Du, how do you know that I am not? Didn't you help me be that Lin Shoumin, then we might as well try together. Anyway, maybe you'll recognize me soon, and anyway, we have more of this kind of relationship, so it's a fate, so you have to give me a chance if it's reasonable! ”

Du Yulu said suddenly; "You're so much more shameless than him!"

Zhang Chao heard this, but he didn't hear the meaning of anger from Du Yulu's mouth, Zhang Chao knew that Du Yulu was a preliminary acquiescence. As long as Du Yulu agrees, Zhang Chao, as a veteran with a psychological age of thirty or forty, can't he clean up a young woman who is not deeply involved in the world? As long as she opens a crack in her heart, then Zhang Chao will chase and fight fiercely. However, Zhang Chao has other purposes next. Zhang Chao pushed down Du Yulu like this, naturally it will not be just for a beauty, but has its own purpose.

Since Zhang Chao knew that Du Yulu was Du Chuke's daughter and Du Ruhui's niece, he immediately paid attention. And after she took the initiative to regard herself as the Lin Shoumin, Zhang Chao also had an idea, that is, to take the initiative to have this relationship with Du Yulu. And then, as long as Du Yulu is willing to give in, then everything can be guaranteed.

The main reason why Zhang Chao hopes to be able to maintain this relationship with Du Yulu is because Zhang Chao wants to leave you a way forward at home. After all, Li Yuan is old, and it is inevitable that he will burp when the time comes, and then the prince will inherit the throne. And Zhang Chao wants to dig a passage for himself to Li Shimin's faction, and this Du Yulu is a very good passage. If he can be with Du Yulu, then he will be able to become half of Du Chuke's son-in-law, and then if Li Shimin becomes the emperor in the future, then Du Chuke will inevitably officially join the office. And Du Yulu is Du Ruhui's niece, and she maintains a relationship with Du Yulu, so once Li Shimin becomes the emperor and Du Ruhui becomes the prime minister, then she is equal to the prime minister's niece and son-in-law, and Du Ruhui has no daughter, and her niece is half a daughter.

And the relationship between Du Yulu, a woman, and Du Ruhui is really wonderful, not far or close. If Du Chuke successfully joined Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion, then Zhang Chao would not develop a relationship with Du Yulu. But Du Chuke did not become Li Shimin's person, but he was Du Ruhui's younger brother, so they are actually all a kind of broken thread, it seems that there is no relationship, but the relationship can be deepened at any time. So if you can maintain a relationship with Du Yulu, it will definitely be of great help to you in the future.

And Du Yulu is an unmarried, so even if she has a relationship with her, she will not force herself to marry her. Anyway, this state of not being married has been maintained, so the relationship is also disconnected, even if Li Shimin is not able to become the emperor at that time, Zhang Chao can also cut ties with Du Yulu. After all, Du Yulu is right, once you get married, it represents responsibility and the responsibility of the family. Once he and Du Yulu are officially married, they will be almost tied to Li Shimin. If you have maintained this kind of unmarried relationship, then the risk is the lowest, after all, if you are not married, you are not afraid of being implicated.

At this moment, Zhang Chao's thinking of the politician in his previous life broke out again, and he quickly made the best choice for himself. That is to stay in love with Du Yulu. human relations, so that Li Shimin will become the emperor in the future, and Du Yulu will become Zhang Chao's ladder to Li Shimin's faction. If Li Shimin is not able to become the emperor, or even if his reputation is ruined, then he will immediately cut off his relationship with Du Yulu, which will not affect him.

This is actually a political speculation, Zhang Chao, as an old official, is very familiar with this kind of political speculation. So Zhang Chao quickly thought of a way, that is, to keep in love with Du Yulu. human relations, so that everything is not a problem, so that the advance can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and it is completely possible to sit firmly on the fishing boat regardless of the wind and waves.

As for Li Jiancheng's side, Zhang Chao also has to find a way to develop a relationship network similar to Du Yulu, so that when the time comes, it can be attacked, retreated, and defended. Of course, Li Jiancheng's side may not have to develop in this woman's way, anyway, he can consider developing by other means, which is also to see the situation at the time.
