This person is very knowledgeable, flexible, shrewd and capable, and has a sleek personality, but he can also be ruthless where he should be ruthless, and he is not biased towards any side of the court, the emperor has done something wrong, he will also admonish, but the way is more tactful, the emperor usually does not lose his temper, and can detect his intentions later, so he is regarded as a direct minister, a pure minister, very important.

When Shu Ning heard these words, although he had a smile on his face, he actually kept slandering in his heart: this is obviously a product who has crossed over to be the emperor's henchman and a famous minister through the ages, on the surface, it seems that he has been lucky to continue to be promoted, but in fact, what has this person done underneath, only God knows.

Chen Liangben's strength lies in the handling of government affairs, he always seems to be able to grasp the key points of work, and then find a solution in the shortest possible time.

However, he is not very good at poetry (I think I know why), and he rarely writes it, and when the emperor or other princes and ministers want to recite poetry and compose music, he can avoid it, and I heard that he was laughed at because of it. Because as a member of the team of Han officials who are famous for their talents, he is really unusual for not being able to compose poems and lyrics. However, since he had a very famous poem circulating, there are fewer people who continue to laugh at him on this point, and many people believe in his statement that "duty is important, and it is useless to write poetry".

As for that poem, several princes and grandchildren also remember it, and it is also very black when it comes out, it is a song "Fortune Operator • Yongmei", which is the song by Grandpa Mao. It is said that at the beginning, he was jealous of people because of his repeated meritorious services in the officialdom, and some people praised him in front of the emperor, but he did not keep quiet, and after a few days, this poem was passed down from his family, and later to the emperor. The emperor saw that "the pretty ones don't compete for spring, but only report the spring." When the mountains were full of flowers, she laughed in the bushes, and sighed: "Chen Shancai is really a pure minister!" Then he rebuked those who had done his good, and gave him many good things as a comfort.

Shuning thought: "This guy is so powerful, in the midst of all living beings, it is not easy to find a well-written poem that has not been copied and happens to correspond to it!" ”

However, this person also has a shortcoming, which is almost known to everyone in the capital, and even the emperor once said a few words about him, and then he didn't get rid of it.

This disadvantage is - lustful.

This person doesn't seem to be too picky about women, as long as they are beautiful, the wives and concubines in the family, the official lady, the daughter of the rich family, the small jasper, the chivalrous women of the rivers and lakes, the famous prostitutes in the Qinglou, the concubines with relatively low reputations, in addition to a village girl, a maid, a widow, and a pungent Miao girl, it is really all-inclusive, everything, not to mention the four words of three wives and four concubines can be described. I heard that there were his confidantes in all the brothels in the capital, and even when he went to the northern border to negotiate with the Russians, there were rumors that he had an affair with a certain blonde and blue-eyed princess.

This man is really ...... It's so undisciplined!

He is young and high, and it is not surprising that he attracts women, but he never cares about the other party's origin, so he is eclectic, and he plays the banner of "not making every woman who falls in love with him sad". It's a pity that he cherishes the flowers, but the flowers may not be willing, the wives and concubines of the Chen Mansion are not in harmony, and it is common to be jealous, and sometimes they will even fight, this matter has been a perennial lace joke in the capital, and even two months ago, there was news that the Miao girl's concubine Hugh Fu ran away.

Shuning made up her mind that she would never have anything to do with this person, and although he seemed to be very successful, she still couldn't hide the essence of the stallion. But now, what she is more curious about is why those princes and grandsons are so interested in this kind of thing, and they still inquire so clearly? It seems that the oldest of them is only thirteen years old, right? Listening to the tone, they seem to adore this stallion.

Duan Ning was very embarrassed, his face was red, and he didn't know why, so he told his sister what his friends whispered in private, which were all forbidden things in the boudoir. He turned his head to look left and right, and whispered to his sister, "I shouldn't have told you these words, but my sister must not say it to anyone." ”

Shuning also looked left and right and nodded: "Okay, I won't say it, but if there is news in the future, my brother will tell me." Seeing Duan Ning's eyes widen, she blinked and showed innocent eyes: "It seems to be listening to someone tell a story, it's really funny." She is still very interested in knowing the stories of other crossing colleagues.

Duan Ning thought that her sister really listened to these as storytellers, and she was a little relieved, but she secretly decided that even if she gossiped to her sister in the future, she would have to delete it in advance, and she must not let her hear those things that the girl's family should not hear.

Not to mention that these two brothers and sisters have their own hearts, Zhang Bao, as a subordinate official of Fengtian these days, although he doesn't have to accompany the holy car everywhere, he is also too busy to keep his feet on the ground. Because Fu Yin and the people with higher official positions went to drive, the officials below the fourth rank had to take on the responsibilities of their superiors, and the workload increased greatly, and everyone was envious of the people who followed the emperor to the mountains and rivers, although those people were actually secretly envious of the colleagues who stayed behind and did not have to worry about the stable life they were afraid of.

One day, the emperor suddenly became interested and wanted to go to the high places outside the city to see the snow scene, so a large group of people followed, because Qin Tongzhi was sick again, Yuheng arrested Zhang Bao and took him to the top bag. When he returned, he sighed all night, and the whole family was very strange. Tong asked him curiously: "Husband drove out of the city with the saint today, did he encounter anything strange?" Why do you sigh like this? ”

Zhang Bao looked at the curious eyes of his family, smiled bitterly, and then said to them: "Today's accompaniment, I was fortunate to see the amazing talents of several ministers around the emperor, and then I realized that I was just a frog at the bottom of the well in the past, and I have always been pretentious, and I will only look down on my brothers at home, but I didn't expect that I was just like this!" ”

Tong didn't like to hear this, so he comforted: "Why did the husband say this, the husband's knowledge and demeanor are better than those of the brothers, this is a fact, why should you be so vain?" As for the ministers around the emperor, they are naturally rare talented people, but why should the husband compare with them? According to the concubine's body, even if it is really compared, it may not be worse than them. ”

Zhang Bao shook his head: "It's far behind, it can't be compared at all." I often think that I was born in a big family, and my talent is better than others, although I am not willing for a while, I will be able to come out sooner or later, compared with those ministers in high positions, I am not inferior, but I haven't met Bole. Therefore, as soon as I have the opportunity to be promoted, I am very happy, and I always feel that the day of my emergence is not far away, and others will find out my ability sooner or later. ”

Tong said: "Of course, is it wrong?" ”

"Wrong, very wrong. To get ahead, you can't just rely on being a little stronger than others and a little better than others. For example, the three adults who accompanied the car this time. Lord Suo Etu has been in the study for many years, I thought he was just relying on his status as a relative, but seeing that he was right in front of the king, quoting scriptures, courteous and courteous, the momentum alone is not beyond the reach of ordinary people, if he is only born stronger than others, how can he do this? As for Lord Gao Shiqi, although he has long heard that he is well-versed in the past and the present, and has excellent knowledge, but I think that he is better than ordinary people, and the rest are the overflowing words of others, who knows that today, what the emperor asks, he can explain it in detail, and he doesn't even have to think about it, just this good ability to remember is better than me a thousand times. As for Lord Chen Liangben......"

Shu Ning was excited, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with this Lord Chen?" ”

Zhang Bao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I used to listen to rumors, thinking that he was a person who was good at government affairs but not good at poetry, and often admonished the emperor, so he regarded him as a first-class figure of the imperial envoy, but he could do practical things...... Sleek ......"

Duan Ning asked curiously, "What did he do?" actually made Amma so emotional? ”

Zhang Bao touched Duanning's head and said lovingly: "Today, the emperor was going to enjoy the snow, because the scenery is good, so he asked the accompanying ministers to make a few lines of poetry to Chengxing, everyone just responded to the system, who knew that Lord Chen unexpectedly offered a new poem, so that the emperor was speechless." ”

He got up and walked to the door, looked at the snowflakes drifting outside the door, and muttered in a deep voice:

"The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only reckless; Up and down the river, suddenly lost and surging. Mountain dance silver snake, the original Chi wax elephant, want to be higher than the heavenly public test. It must be a sunny day, and look at the red makeup, which is extraordinarily enchanting.

*, leading countless heroes to bend their waists. Regret the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, slightly lose the literary style; Tang Zong and Song Zu are slightly less coquettish. A generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Han, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle. Looking back at the past, counting the characters, and looking at the present. ”

Shuning couldn't help but roll her eyes: Chen Liangben, you have to pay the copyright fee to Grandpa Mao!

Tong and Duan Ning were already attracted to the words. Tong praised: "Good words, this momentum is really extraordinary." Duan Ning nodded and asked, "This is a tribute to my emperor's deeds, right?" ”

Zhang Bao closed his head lightly and sighed: "He has always been a person who does not like to write poems and lyrics, and he never says words of flattery to the emperor, and sometimes even makes the emperor angry. But as soon as his words came out, the emperor was only afraid that he would be comfortable in his heart, although the emperor said afterwards that he was too much, but everyone could see that the emperor was very happy. The sincere and sincere reverence of such a pure minister, those villains who can only pat and fart are really beyond the reach of the dust. ”

Chunchen? Who are you fooling? As long as it is crossed, there can be no pure ministers! Sincerely? Not necessarily!

Shu Ning scolded her stomach, seeing that her father was a little cursed, and her mother and brother didn't know what to say, so she took the initiative to comfort her father: "Is Ama feeling cursed because of this?" According to my daughter, you don't have to. The high-ranking officials and ministers who can win the emperor's favor naturally have their advantages, but the officials at the bottom, even if they are not as good as them, can't they survive? My daughter once heard the ancients say: The plum is three points white and the snow is white, but the snow loses the fragrance of the plum. Amma naturally has the benefits of Amma, so why bother to be in vain? ”

After saying that, he took his father's hand and said coquettishly: "Ama is such a talented and learned person, they all feel cursed, those who are not as good as Amma, aren't they more and more faceless?" At that time, won't this court be empty? ”

Zhang Bao was amused by her, and his mood was much better, thinking about it carefully, too, he didn't plan to compete for such a high position as the minister of the study, why should he think too much? Compared with those who have no real talent and real learning, and only rely on their family background to become officials, an official like himself is already very good.

Thinking like this, he regained his confidence, took his daughter's hand, sat down again, and talked and laughed with his family about the interesting things he saw today.
