"It's snowing." Zhao Qian said to the old lady with joy that he didn't know where it came from.

Qin Yuzhen stood up, leaned against the heater, and looked at the snowflakes fluttering outside the window. After a while, she sighed, "Your father is afraid that he will come back late today." You have dinner here before you go. ”

"If Daddy doesn't come back. I'll go first. Zhao Qian responded.

"Humph! Not cute. Facing the window, Qin Yuzhen said indifferently. As soon as she spoke, she felt that her tone seemed to be very similar to that of Empress Dowager Chen. Realizing her mother-in-law's mood did not make Qin Yuzhen unhappy, she just felt regret, the same regret as Empress Dowager Chen back then.

Feeling that the old lady was unhappy, Zhao Qian hurriedly said: "Mother, I'll stay and eat." ”

"No, you go back. Your family is still waiting for you to eat. After Qin Yuzhen finished speaking, she turned around and left the living room. When she went up to the bedroom on the second floor, she didn't turn on the lamp, leaned against the heating by the window, and watched her son go out of the courtyard, get on the horse, and go away in the snow.

Suddenly, Qin Yuzhen's nose was sour, and sadness came from it.

Among the three sons of Empress Dowager Chen, the eldest son Zhao Jiaxin is not very talkative, steady but slightly wooden. Such a son at the dinner table will reassure the old lady, but there is no way to be happy.

The youngest son, Zhao Jiaren, is a genius, and the achievements he has created far exceed the limits of what a mother can imagine. If someone predicted to Empress Dowager Chen before Zhao Jiaren was born, the child in her womb would be so capable. This fortune teller will never be rewarded, and Empress Dowager Chen will not let the fortune teller get rid of her immediately, even if she is very elegant. No mother would expect her son to brave the freezing cold of minus 10 degrees Celsius and the heat of 40 degrees Celsius in the next few decades, leading the army to starve through the mountains, jungles, fields, swamps, cross the Yangtze River, divert the Yellow River, sail on the sea, and fight bloody battles against fierce enemies.

Among the three brothers of the Zhao family, only the second Zhao Jiali can really come to eat with the ordinary mood of 'I'll have a meal with my mother'. So the one who inherited all the property of his parents was Zhao Jiali. Qin Yuzhen was young at that time, and she was actually very unimpressed in her heart. It's just that Zhao Jiali is too poor, and she feels that with her dignity and wealth, she has lost her identity by caring about that money.

Wiping away her tears, Qin Yuzhen finally understood the state of mind of Empress Dowager Chen. Zhao Jiaren himself said that heaven and earth give birth to all things, and what is greater than heaven and earth is the human heart. It's too annoying and tiring to tolerate everything in the world, so my mother doesn't want it. The mother cares about the child, but she works hard to raise a son, and the son is like a lost dog in the name of righteousness every day, and he is anxious like a fish that has slipped through the net. For decades, I couldn't even tolerate the mood of having a meal with my mother.

As a mother, most of the time I feel that my child is working hard. But on this quiet snowy day, the husband returned late on the grounds of world affairs, and the son refused to stay for official dinner. Except for the sentence 'not cute', Qin Yuzhen really couldn't think of words that could express her state of mind at this time.

Sons are not cute, and neither is Lao Tzu. Qin Yuzhen is a few months older than Zhao Jiaren, and when the husband and wife were together, she asked Zhao Jiaren to call her sister many times. However, Zhao Jiaren never agreed, and always called Qin Yuzhen 'little girl'. Will Sister Scream drop a piece of meat? Affectionate screaming sister is much better than racking her brains to say some disgusting jokes trying to please Qin Yuzhen.

The joke that Zhao Jiaren said last time that the sphinx asked questions, Zhao Jiaren rarely said the first half, but he never said the second half. This aroused Qin Yuzhen's curiosity, and she went to check the book. After reading a lot of things, I realized that the Sphinx with the original face asked a very serious question, and the answer of Oedipus in the real story was also very serious, about the change of human beings from young children to old people.

But Zhao Jiaren combined the personal tragedy of Oedipus and made up an absurd question of 'the wife and the old lady fell into the water together, who to save first', so that the two shocking speculative and tragic stories instantly turned into an absurd farce.

However, this is Zhao Jiaren, other people say, 'I want to make the world as I wish', all of which are bold words made by the blood of the moment. Rhetoric is the most implausible, as Zhao Jiaren said, it is a brainless blind beep that expands the feelings of a certain moment to infinity.

But Zhao Jiaren is not a blind beep, he is really trying to lead the world and redefine everything. With his genius, he did it in a short time. To try to have everything, you have to surpass ordinary people. Not only beyond the light, but also beyond the darkness. Zhao Jiaren did it, just like his joke, such an inhumane and bottomless malice can still make Zhao Jiaren laugh.

Probably because Empress Dowager Chen is Zhao Jiaren's mother, she can be described as 'uncute'. Because to understand what Zhao Jiaren's joke is about, you have to read a lot of books first.

If you really want to make the other person laugh, you don't need to be so deep and dark, in fact, as long as you really look at the other person, really feel the other person's mood, everything is very simple. And his son, like his father, just wants to build a world with his own brain, and then make the world fit the world of their own imagination.

Not cute. It's really not cute!

Qin Yuzhen felt that she had stood for too long, and her legs could not support her. She sat back in the rocking chair by the window and decided to wait for Zhao Jiaren to come back and settle accounts with him. Zhao Jiaren must not be allowed to go on like this, and even take the child on this road.

At this time, Zhao Jiaren did not know that the thunderclouds of a family storm were gathering, and he told the secretary, "You report to the family, I will not go back for the next two days." ”

The secretary took the order and left. Zhao Jiaren closed his eyes and did a simple eye exercise. Thinking about what needs to be dealt with. Zhao Qian's report and actions reflect his rational and emotional attitudes. Looking at the report alone, Zhao Jiaren believes that Zhao Qian's position is very clear, and he agrees with the views of civil officials. But he caught a guy and his secretary who made money by relying on hidden fields and hidden households, and who relied on eating, drinking, and having fun in the officialdom, and his secretary, but he was exposing the ugliness of civil officials.

His own son clearly did not understand the distinction between good and evil in human nature and good and evil in politics. If he wants to purge all the 'wicked', he can probably kill all the officials. Who hasn't done something indulgent, Zhao Jiaren himself has seen a pure heart and few desires in his life, and that's because he has indulged in all kinds of pleasures that the Great Song Dynasty does not have. The level of the Great Song Dynasty really can't reach that height. Moreover, the tragic ending of the last life of the Great Song Dynasty made Zhao Jiaren unable to take his eyes off the enemy.

Politics is different for good and evil. It is not about personal hobbies, but about the understanding of policies and the judgment of social development. When Wang Quanle made it clear that the civilian officials believed that there could be no tolerance for the 'barbarians' and that they would ruthlessly eliminate the barbarians, these people were politically qualified. As for the civilian authorities' attempts to unravel the repression of violent institutions, that is another matter. At that time, the military of the Great Song Dynasty was discriminated against by civilian officials, and the generals had the same idea.

However, Zhao Qian obviously didn't understand this, or he hadn't seen it. Zhao Jiaren closed his eyes, considering whether to give Zhao Qian a chance to come and see with his own eyes what kind of boring war of words among the civil and military generals in the court had caused him.

Zhao Jiaren finally gave up this plan. At this time, it is not yet the time for Zhao Qian to be involved in this matter, and these high-ranking officials in the court also have a special vote, and they really believe in good people and bad people. They firmly believe that they are good people and others are bad people. I'm also trying to convince others to believe this. Especially hope that Zhao Jiaren can believe them.

The problem is to make the current Zhao Jiaren believe who is the good guy and who is the bad guy, probably to make Zhao Jiaren's head kicked by a donkey, and he has to kick it many times.

While he was resting, the secretary came in and said, "Official, let's get ready for a meeting." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Jiaren lazily opened his eyes and stood up, making preparations for a long-term battle with this group of civil and military generals. It is true that the rule of officials has to be done in a mess, but it is not nonsense.

Sitting down in the conference room, the civil and military on both sides also looked tired. It also takes a lot of effort to attack the other party in every possible way. And their attacks will also be met with various counterattacks, which also cause them a lot of mental damage.

For the first few minutes, no one spoke. In the end, Liu Chong, chairman of the anti-rape committee, said: "Official, our anti-rape committee only listens to the dispatch of the official. If the official family wants to hand over the task of purging the barbarians to us, we will do our best. ”

As a representative of the generals, Li Yun looked at Liu Chong's performance and was very envious in his heart. He himself actually didn't want to get involved in such a dispute at all, as the son of the next generation of subordinates of the Zhao official family, Li Yun understood that the father Li Hongjun could have such a status as an ordinary person, not because of his outstanding talent, but because Li Hongjun was absolutely loyal to the Zhao official family.

Loyalty is not to follow the slogan of loyalty to do your own thing, but to abandon all your own ideas, and even suppress your own dissatisfaction to complete the mission and will of the Zhao official family. Li Yun also suddenly understood this after he reached his age a few years ago. Then Li Yun realized that his 'full of sharp momentum' back then was actually asking Zhao Guanjia to build a space for Li Yun at that time to allow Li Yun to play to his heart's content.

That is, Zhao Guan's family is strong and big-minded, and he can accommodate Li Yun. In fact, everyone hopes that others will be willing to be green leaves, bringing out the glory of flowers. Without the support and tolerance of the official family, Li Yun would be a hair. There are not only one or two soldiers whose ability is not below Li Yun in the Great Song Army.

Therefore, Liu Chong's statement is really beautiful, and the Anti-Rape Committee can always be the confidant of the Zhao official family, which is naturally extraordinary. After a heated quarrel, the Anti-Rape Committee was the first to say that it would no longer be involved in this troubled water.

Sure enough, as Li Yun expected, Zhao Jiaren responded: "When there is a result, I will inform you." ”

Liu Pet immediately said: "Then I'll go back now." ”

Looking at Liu Chongshi's back, Li Yun couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lieutenant General Liu Hanliu next to him. As a representative of the hardliners in the army, Li Yun has already considered whether to simply remove him from his post. Thinking of this, Li Yun began to regret in his heart, in fact, he would have done this earlier. Although the removal of the army is very troublesome, at least Li Yun can clearly tell the Zhao official family that he, Li Yun, has no intention of leading the army to overwhelm the civilian officials.

But these can only be thought about, Li Yun, as the top three figures in the military, his own wishes are very indifferent. The key thing is that people in this position in the military must speak for the interests of the military. Not to mention giving up judicial power, even giving up a piece of toilet paper, it will not work.

"Official, it's better to talk about it here first." The Minister of Civil Affairs spoke.

"Oh?" Zhao Jiaren looked at the representative of the civilian faction in a little surprise, waiting for him to say the following words.

"Let's deal with the barbarians first. Let them live one more day, and waste more food. "The Minister of Civil Affairs spoke out about his views.

Lieutenant General Liu Hanliu smiled, "Why did the minister say so politely, the food for so many days has been eaten by the barbarians, and eating for a few more days will not bring down the Great Song Dynasty." I don't think the minister is just waiting for Prime Minister Wen to enter Beijing? Everyone knows that the new Prime Minister Wen of the official family, if Prime Minister Wen says something, you think it will probably be more convincing to the official family. ”

Syllable! Li Yun slapped the table, he finally found a little opportunity for Lieutenant General Liu, and immediately scolded in a low voice: "The official family is not a faint king, where is there a reason to listen to the encouragement of others." ”

Lieutenant General Liu was stunned, he didn't expect so much, Wen Tianxiang had a great influence on the official family, which was something that everyone in the court was aware of. He's just telling the facts. As for the official family, he never said a word about it.

Without waiting for Li Yun to speak, the Minister of Civil Affairs took over. "Prime Minister Wen is an upright official, and the official family will naturally value Prime Minister Wen."

"You people accept benefits, of course the officials don't look down on you." Lieutenant General Liu immediately retorted.

Li Yun, who was talking like a bastard, slapped the table again, didn't the people in the military go to have fun? Lieutenant General Liu had a wife and two concubines, and had three women. This guy just didn't bring the woman to the battlefield, and wanted to grab his pigtails, and some said it.

Without waiting for Li Yun to protect the situation, the Minister of Civil Affairs sneered, "If that's the case, I don't know if Lieutenant General Liu can support monogamy." We, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, feel that this request made by the officials is very good. ”

Hehe! Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but laugh. Although he knew that his current thoughts were more unreasonable, he really hoped that through this quarrel, he would pass the marriage law of monogamy and the prohibition of bigamy. This is a law that Zhao Jiaren has wanted to engage in for a long time, but he has no chance to figure it out.

Seeing that Zhao Jiaren had a reaction, the military generals of Wenchen were silent for a while, and they all looked at Zhao Jiaren. The promotion of monogamy came to his lips, but Zhao Jiaren still didn't say it. really said it, I am afraid that too many civil ministers and military generals will soon unite and stand on the opposite side of Zhao Jiaren. Maybe even the wives and concubines of these people will oppose Zhao Jiaren.

So Zhao Jiaren smiled: "You are not children quarrelling, what is the point of saying this." ”
