Chapter 158: The Third Young Master's Sword
"Boy, there is one thing you don't know, no one can stop what the old man wants to do!" Old Lady Liu snorted.
"What I don't want to do, no one can force me!" Chen Ke opened his eyes and looked at him without showing weakness.
"There's one more thing you don't know, even if I kill you, it's not a big deal!" Old lady Liu sneered: "Don't think that if the official family praises you, you will be expensive, and the old man will kill if he wants to!" ”
"You're not going to kill me." Chen Ke said calmly.
"Where do you get your confidence?" Old man Liu sneered.
"For a martial artist," Chen Ke laughed and said, "His knife is closer to his heart than his words, if the old lady wants to kill me, the knife has already passed through my body, and he will not talk nonsense with me." "So, this guy is not brainless, he just doesn't like to beat around the bush, but the blade of the old brute forced him to outwit it......
"Hmph......" The corners of Old Lady Liu's mouth showed a smug smile, but he quickly realized that this was wrong, and quickly lowered his face and said: "You kid is not completely idiot, the old man Liu Hao is famous, how can he kill an unarmed person?" ”
He wiped the blood stains on the blade of the knife on Chen Ke's snow-white collar, and suddenly hit Chen Ke on the lower abdomen with the handle of the knife with his backhand. This time it was too sudden, Chen Ke was firmly on it, and he arched his waist in pain.
"Bastard boy," Old Man Liu finally shouted out his long-suppressed anger and said, "What's wrong with my granddaughter!" Your Chen family is like a beast of water! ”
"It's none of what she does." Chen Ke stood up straight and said to the old gentleman with a sincere face: "It's me who already has a marriage contract first." ”
"Bastard!" Old man Liu was like an angry lion, and he threw another punch and roared, "This punch is for your bastard father!" There is a marriage contract, and I still eat from the bowl and look at the pot! ”
Chen Ke was actually able to dodge, but he didn't dodge, he was beaten, but he only snorted, did not moan, and did not fall...... Don't let the old man get angry, how will this matter end? He took a deep breath before he could speak: "My father is innocent, and my marriage contract was made by me, and he didn't know about it. ”
"Jokes." Old man Liu sneered: "Marriage is a major event, how can you let yourself be the master of your parents' orders?" ”
"Hehe......" Chen Ke wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled: "I have always admired Ling Zun......"
"You ......" Old man Liu was speechless, everyone in the world knows how his father married his mother back then, and his grandfather also sued the royal court for this.
"My father is not wrong, and the old lady's family is not wrong, there are thousands of mistakes, and they are all my fault." Chen Ke sighed and said: "It was my young Meng Lang who brought endless troubles and pain to the three families, and I am willing to bear all the consequences." However, I have to marry Su Xiaomei, because this is a promise. ”
Old lady Liu looked at Chen Ke with a complicated expression, although he had no good impression of this kid, he still had to admit that from the beginning of the meeting, Chen Ke's words and deeds made it difficult for him to have a bad feeling, and even unconsciously, it was much more pleasing to the eye......
"Isn't the words of the parents' orders and concubines considered a promise?" Old lady Liu grabbed Chen Ke's words at once: "You only fulfill your promise to the Su family, can you not fulfill your promise to my family?" ”
"This ......" Chen Ke was speechless, and said with a wry smile: "If I can divide it in half, I will naturally fulfill it." ”
"What's so hard about that?" Old lady Liu waved his hand and said, "Look at your smart appearance, why are you a dead eye?" He gave Chen Kezhi a beckon: "For the sake of your young and absurd, but you are also trustworthy, the old man will make the decision for his granddaughter, and after you get married, allow that Su to be a partial house." As he spoke, he patted Chen Ke's shoulder and said: "The old man's knife is not exempt, but the right to write it down, if you dare to spoil the concubine and kill your wife, you will settle the account together!" ”
In his opinion, Chen Ke will definitely agree to such a good thing...... Grandma is a bear, the daughter of a wealthy family is married, and before she gets married, she allows him to take a concubine first, where can you find such a good thing?
"Su Xiaomei must be the main house." Chen Ke didn't know what to do.
"You ......" Old Lady Liu glared at a pair of bull's eyes and said, "Don't be ignorant!" ”
"What I promised was to marry her, not to accept her, so I had to marry her, there was no other way." Chen Ke said: "If the old lady agrees, I can also marry Ling's granddaughter." ”
"Fart!" Old lady Liu said angrily: "Even if it is an official family, there is only one queen!" ”
"If it doesn't work, I can only use other ways to compensate the old lady and Miss Liu." Chen Ke said deeply: "From now on, if the old lady and Miss Liu have any orders, they will never say anything in their later life." ”
"Who is rare...... Old Lady Liu turned his back irritably, pacing back and forth in the practice room, according to his temperament, the other party has said this, and he will not be entangled anymore, at most he will be beaten violently, and then scattered in two. However, there was a voice in his heart that kept telling him not to let go. The old gentleman couldn't tell why, it seemed that it was the stubbornness that originated from the family, and it seemed to be something else......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the martial arts hall, only the sound of Liu Hao pacing back and forth was heard, and Chen Ke stood quietly aside, waiting for his answer.
After a long time, Mrs. Liu finally stood on his feet, turned to look at him defiantly and said, "Boy, I heard that you have a lot of methods?" Can you do a lot of things that others can't? ”
"You can't say that...... Chen Ke sighed and said, "For example, I can't help it." ”
"There is a way, if you can help me do one thing, I will return you Gengti, and the two families will have nothing to do with each other from now on."
"What's the matter?" Chen Ke said vigilantly.
"I have an older brother who is in big trouble right now." Liu Hao sighed and said, "I want to help him, but I can't help him." ”
"Who?" Chen Ke said in a deep voice.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you," Liu Hao said proudly, "He is the current privy envoy, General Di Hanchen!" ”
"Marshal Di......" Chen Ke gasped and said.
"Not bad." Liu Hao said: "In the fierce battle in the northwest, he was still my subordinate, and now, he is the minister of the Western Mansion, the pride of my Great Song Dynasty soldiers." Then he sighed and said, "But now, if someone wants to kill him, can you help him save the day?" ”
"Is it Wen Yanbo?" Chen Ke suddenly remembered something and asked in a deep voice.
"Oh?" Liu Hao couldn't help but be impressed, and said in surprise: "Where did you know?" ”
Of course, Chen Ke will not say, I saw it from history books...... In fact, thousands of years later, Di Qing is still familiar to people, and most of the reasons are due to the injustice and tragic ending he suffered.
Chen Ke vaguely remembered that after Di Qing became a privy envoy for several years, he was suddenly boycotted by the civil officials. In order to overthrow him, the civil officials did not hesitate to spread rumors and use various superstitious statements to shake the will of Emperor Renzong. Although until the end, the civil officials did not find any bad deeds about him, Di Qing was still excluded from Beijing.
After that, under the meticulous care of the imperial court, every half a month, there will be envoys to ask for warmth...... The Song Dynasty was founded for a hundred years, and this kind of treatment is only Di Qing, I really don't know what he did, so that the court can't rest assured.
Di Qing was filled with grief and anger, and soon died of back gangrene...... It wasn't until twenty years later that the country used troops in the Western Regions, and there were no unscrupulous generals, that they remembered this victorious general who died young. However, the Great Song Dynasty's heart to make contributions to Rong has long disappeared with Di Qing's death, and he will never come back.
Those civil officials succeeded, the world still revolves around them, and all the glory of the Great Song Dynasty is attributed to them, so good men are not soldiers, they all go to study hard with books, and squeeze their heads to become officials. In the end, there was no way, so he let the eunuch lead the army, perform a ridiculous live drama, and forcibly gave up a good river and mountain to a group of savages.
What is hateful is that when disaster struck, these civil officials ran faster than anyone else, basically escaped across the Yangtze River with all their beards and tails, and continued to be powerful in the world of flowers and flowers in the south of the Yangtze River, until the Southern Song Dynasty perished and fled completely without land, and then they were retributed...... It's just too late, and hundreds of millions of innocent people have already turned into dry bones.
Chen Ke knows everything, but he knows even more that he is just an ordinary person, and he can't be the kind of great man who can save the sky. In another level of history, Wang Anshi has long proved that reform is not a joke, and great men are not so easy to be, and if they don't do it well, they will become sinners through the ages......
It is precisely for these two reasons that Chen Ke will lack interest in being an official, if it weren't for the fact that in the Great Song Dynasty, being an official was synonymous with privilege, and he wouldn't even be able to take the imperial examination. He plans to be an idle official, enjoy life, find more excitement, and get drunk and dreamy of this life before Jingkang. When I die, let him flood the sky......
But what about the tragedy that is happening right in front of us? To do it or not to care? For a person who has fought bravely, it is not a problem at all. It's just that after the Liuta River incident, Chen Ke has fully realized the blackness and shamelessness of the high-level, so he has no confidence at all.
It is almost impossible to help Di Qing flop.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I guessed." Chen Ke replied to Old Man Liu's question: "Without the support of the Minister of the Eastern Mansion, it is unlikely that the Minister of the Western Mansion will be shaken. ”
"It's amazing!" Old man Liu had some confidence in Chen Ke and said, "I agreed to you?" ”
"I can do my best to give advice on this matter." Chen Ke said slowly: "However, the happiness of the little sister cannot be used as a bet. ”
"It's okay to ......" Liu Hao also said word by word: "As long as I see your efforts, I can do it without any strings attached......
