The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 272 Ergou changed his name

Spring passes and autumn comes, time passes like water.

The mighty Song Dynasty finally ushered in another change of dynasty leader.

In the first month of the third year of Yuanfu (AD 1100), Zhao Xu, a seventh-generation official of the Song Dynasty who had been ill for a long time, suddenly worsened and fell into a coma. He breathed his last in Funing Hall on the th of the same month (lunar calendar).

This young emperor reigned for fifteen years and was in charge for seven years. He was only twenty-five years old when he died. His posthumous title was Xianyuan Xiande Qin Wenruiwu Qi Sheng Zhaoxiao Emperor, and his temple name Zhezong.

Because Zhe Zong had no children, his younger brother Zhao Ji succeeded him, and the following year he changed the Yuan Dynasty to the founding of the Central Kingdom of Jing. From then on, the Song Dynasty entered an extremely strange era.

Such a major event as the replacement of the emperor in the Song Dynasty can only be regarded as a pastime for the people at the bottom. They still have to work as usual, farm as they should, and do business as they should. Today, they have to worry about tomorrow. of eating.

Of course, for Ergou, Zhezong's death means that he needs to truly plan for the future.

At this time, Ergou was sitting at the top of Yuxia Town, looking at the bustling town with a smile on his face.

Of course, now he is no longer called Ergou, because he already has an official name, Chen Shen.

That's right, it's the "Shen" of He Shen.

Originally, Ergou rejected the name, but everyone thought it was good, especially the master and his wife, and even his unmarried daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li, who agreed with it.

If you ask who named Ergou, you may not believe it, but it turned out to be the bearded Su Dongpo.

In the past two years, due to Su Dongpo's student, Ergou's father-in-law-to-be, Li Gefei, had an unexpectedly prosperous official career. He even reached the position of Zuopushe, the minister, and was only one step away from being promoted to the position of prime minister.

Naturally, most of the Su family disciples who were close to Li Gefei also had their fates rewritten. For example, Su Dongpo was not deported by the emperor and Zhang Dun to go fishing in Hainan Island. Instead, he returned to Huangzhou, the place where he was demoted. However, his official position was Huangzhou is a general judge, and his official work is quite interesting.

And the unlucky guy Qin Guan was also exonerated and became the wine supervisor of Ruzhou.

To be precise, all the children of the Su family who were implicated and suppressed by the New Party and who never had second thoughts, especially the former Fourth Bachelors of the Su family, cannot be said to have been brought back to justice, at least their status and treatment have improved.

Of course, those new party cadres who were attached to Zhang Dun, such as Huang Lu, Cai Jing and others, and even old party officials, did not think of ways to deal with Li Gefei. However, Li Gefei's holy family was astonishingly high and his luck was ridiculous.

No matter what charges he was waiting to lay out, before the impeachment was presented to Zhezong, someone would rebel without reason. Sometimes they were officials of the new party, sometimes they were officials of the old party. When the right report was brought before the emperor, they were always the ones who impeached. Unfortunately, official Li was promoted.

This happened again and again within two years, and Li Gefei was one step away from becoming the ambassador, but no one dared to go against Li Gefei anymore.

Regarding Li Gefei's outrageous treatment, Zhang Dun went to the imperial court alone and asked Emperor Zhezong for the reason. Zhezong was also very embarrassed about this!

What could he say? Did he tell Zhang Dun that Li Gefei's prospective son-in-law was a god who could revive the dead and make flesh and bones? There was also a brother in the family who was the incarnation of a phoenix, and there was also a god who came down to earth and invited heaven to become a god, but he was rejected by that guy? !

What the hell kind of myth is this? !

Hu Yanping was a loyal minister and told Zhezong everything he knew.

If Hu Yanping's new limbs hadn't been used as an example, Emperor Zhezong would have deeply suspected that his confidant master had drunk too much and hadn't woken up!

Originally, Zhezong wanted to invite Ergou to Beijing to diagnose and treat diseases with him, but he was stopped before he even left the palace. Then an elder of the Zhao family told Emperor Zhezong half-truths and half-false stories about old events during Renzong's reign.

Emperor Zhezong heard some old news, and he was shocked but also felt deep fear. He was frightened by Renzong's madness back then, and he was also horrified by the merciless cleaning of the palace by the Demon Suppressor.

Emperor Zhezong didn't know much about the origins of the Demon Suppressor, but he knew that there was such a mysterious organization hanging above his head that looked like a god, but it was a great threat to the imperial power of the Song Dynasty.

If Zhezong was in good health, he would definitely find ways to weaken or even eliminate such organizations that violated the imperial power. However, his physical condition was too poor and he did not dare to make any big moves for the time being, so he could only choose to compromise for the time being.

Emperor Zhezong became wary of the demon-suppressing people, so he naturally gave up the order for Ergou to enter the capital. It can only be said that Emperor Zhezong himself snuffed out his only chance to change his fate.

Zhezong could not tell Zhang Dun the fear in his heart, but he could only sigh and told his independent partner Li Gefei to just discuss the matter and not use unreliable reasons to deal with him.

It seems that no one knows Li Gefei's true backers, such as the followers of Qingbao Tianzun and Buddhist monks.

But, who told the capital to station a phoenix that has been rare for thousands of years?

Straight bitch! Even if that bratty guy's thinking is awesome, his personal force is actually more terrifying than Gao Gongji!

one person!

A sickle!

On a bright moonlit night, the heads of the three Arhats and the eleven great warrior monks from the Great Xiangguo Temple were cut off and rolled around on the ground. They died miserably!

Also killed were six Subhudhisattvas (spiritual masters among monks) and seven top Bodhisattva nuns.

In this battle, the top power of Buddhism in Kaifeng and its surrounding areas was almost wiped out, and then the casual cultivators of the Qingbao lineage immediately dismissed the manpower they had just gathered.

What? How did this war start, you ask?

Um! Someone is trying to steal Chen Guang's sister, literally, the little sister of a biological compatriot.

It turned out that this was the trouble caused by the Qingbao lineage of monks in Tiantai Mountain, but it turned out that the monks from Daxiangguo Temple were unlucky enough to take the blame first, and they fell into the hands of the crazy Chen Guang.

After Chen Guang established his invincible reputation in the extraordinary world of Bianliang City, the security of the capital suddenly became very good.

By the way, when Gao Gongji went to Beijing for a trip, he suddenly died less than three months after he came back, which made the generals of the Song Dynasty feel sorry but also relieved.

oh! That's far enough, let's come back and talk about Ergou's father-in-law, Li Gefei.

Because of Li Gefei's invisible background, some more insidious people began to plan to destroy his roots, such as making him regret his marriage and change his daughter Li Qingzhao's family.

Especially as Li Gefei's official position grew bigger and bigger, many people who did not know the inside story began to have ideas about Miss Qingzhao, and wanted to form a marriage with the "new talents" in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. Some even among the Su family children had ideas.

Fortunately, there is another member of the Li family, Wang Li, who knows the inside story, and Li Gefei's character is relatively strong, and he did not do anything stupid like giving Ergou a "break-off flow" BUFF.

Of course, it's not like no one wants to pull the trigger and start directly with Miss Qingzhao, just like Zhao Mingcheng back then.

However, let alone whether Miss Qingzhao is easily impressed, those tricksters will get into trouble within a few days. It cannot be said that they end up with their family and family ruined, but they often have accidents. For example, falling into the water and hurting your brain, walking with a limp, or being forced into a small dark room by ten or eight slave girls to wheel rice, and then naked - all playing a game called "running wildly" on the street. Performance Art.

Hu Yanping, who was responsible for the final finish, said, "Don't thank me, I just can't bear to see these regrettable accidents. I will definitely let you deeply feel the warm care of the Imperial City Division."

Although Ergou and Miss Qingzhao were separated from each other, they often corresponded with each other, writing some random thoughts and attaching a small poem to express their longing.

In the late spring of the second year of Yuanfu, Miss Qingzhao composed the first famous Ci Ling poem in her life [Ru Meng Ling·Last Night Rained and Winded], and she immediately wrote a letter to Ergou to show off this achievement.

How the two dogs were willing to spoil the woman, so that in the early autumn, they wrote a poem "Mulan Ci·Life is just like the first time we met" and launched a "counterattack" against the somewhat "arrogant" young lady Qingzhao.

Originally, it was a poetic and elegant affair for the two of them to compete in poems with each other. However, it was not only Li Qingzhao who was staring at Ergou's letter, but also Li Gefei and Chao Buzhi and other big names in the poetry world. He and others She even got Ergou's poems earlier than Miss Li.

While these big guys marveled at the beauty of this word, they even took Ergou's innocent groan seriously.

Li Gefei first went home and gave an unprecedented scolding to the young lady Qingzhao who did not know the truth. Then he wrote to his teacher Su Dongpo, begging Su Datou, the top figure in the poetry world, to name his future son-in-law.

Li Gefei’s skill is amazing!

When Su Dongpo named Ergou, it was equivalent to his recognition of Ergou's relationship with the Su family's children, and his endorsement of Ergou's marriage to Qingzhao's young lady.

With Su Datou's endorsement, even if Li Gefei really wants to regret this marriage in the future, it will be impossible for him. Otherwise, he will be cheating his master and destroying his ancestors, being unfaithful and unfilial, and his reputation in this life will be completely ruined.

No one in the poetry world of the Song Dynasty could afford such a negative buff.

Of course, Miss Qingzhao was very angry afterwards!

The son of a bitch from the Chen family spread rumors about me, wrote a bad song that slandered my reputation, and even caused me to be scolded by my father for no reason. It was really annoying!

The angry Mrs. Li immediately wrote an emotional scolding article and sent it to Ergou.

When Ergou received the scolding letter, he was confused. What happened to our little lady Qingzhao? How could you be so angry!

Looking at this curse word, there is not a single curse word in the whole article, but the sarcasm is sharp and unparalleled, and it clearly expresses the anger and grievance in the young lady's heart.

After Ergou finished reading the letter, he thought to himself for a moment, and then he thought of a possibility that made his hair stand on end. Could it be that Miss Qingzhao knew about my private deeds? !

You ask what bad things Ergou did in his hometown?

Actually, it’s nothing, but it’s just that my somewhat lonely sister-in-law, Mrs. Yang, has given birth to children every three years, and now she’s pregnant with her third child.

There were also two members of the Sword Queens who came to protect Di Ji Xiao Shi and gave birth to children before they were married. Ergou was quite responsible and made a promise. When the eldest lady came to join the family, she and others also joined the Chen family. , enjoy the treatment of ordinary wives, and illegitimate children are treated the same as legitimate children.

In Ergou's eyes, a son is a son, and there is no distinction between internal and external concubine.

Some people may also ask, why Ergou failed to catch all six Sword Queens?

Of course, Ergou can't be blamed for this. It's not that he has no idea about the art of the harem, it's just that the situation doesn't allow it.

The first swordswoman that Ergou defeated also had the same surname as Yang. She was very good-looking, pretty and straight, and heroic in appearance. She was even better than Ergou's sister-in-law, and she also had a good personality. Among the six swordswomen It's the most outstanding one.

But what Ergou didn't expect was that when he got into the belly of the second Sword Girl named Wang, Miss Yang, the Sword Girl who knew about this, immediately sent a Flying Eagle Biography to Mrs. Yang who was in the capital. Book.

Then less than half a month later, six middle-aged swordswomen with strong bodies and cold faces like Master Miejue suddenly came to Xiangzhou and replaced the four beautiful swordswomen who had not been taken by Ergou.

Ergou, who later learned the truth, could only lament secretly, it was hard to guard against domestic thieves!

Ergou is a passionate person, but he is also a wise person.

After he learned about what Miss Yang had done, instead of blaming her, he called his sister-in-law Mrs. Yang and Miss Sword Queen Wang to apologize and express his gratitude to Miss Yang in person. .

Ergou said that he was still young and lacked quality. If the young lady had not intervened and helped him rein in the situation, he would have acted recklessly and ruined the reputation of all Sword Queens. This would not only make people laugh, but also make Ergou lose his moral character. That’s it.

Ergou's performance was so touching that the three women who were related to him were all moved. His sister-in-law, Madam Yang, would not say that giving Ergou a child was like giving birth to a puppy. , which attracted the attention of everyone in the village.

After giving birth to a child, Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Wang also clamored to give birth to a litter of puppies for Ergou.

Now Ergou is the father of four sons, and the fifth son is already online. However, Mrs. Li in the capital has no news about Ergou's unrestrained self.

Ergou's idea was to wait until the two of them were married and their relationship was completely settled, and then slowly let the housewife of the Chen family know some details.

I have to say that Ergou is a real scumbag, his main focus is being thick-skinned and having a bad face. .

The scolding letter from Miss Qingzhao made Ergou frightened for a while. It was not until the end of winter that the letters from Li Gefei, his master and his wife, and the letter from Su Datou were delivered to Ergou, and he learned about the matter. Beginning and end.

This misunderstanding made Ergou feel relieved. Ergou knew that the young lady Qingzhao was tough on the outside and tougher on the inside. If she had to know her life in advance, the marriage would be necessary. It is not impossible that there are twists and turns, and even the relationship is over.

Ergou really wanted to marry the young lady Qingzhao back home smoothly.

Su Datou's endorsement also touched Ergou. My father-in-law was really reliable. Even though he had given Ergou the name "He Zhongtang", he still "happily" accepted it.

His surname is Chen, Chen Shen, not He. Besides, his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather was not even born yet, so why worry about it so much.

However, although Ergou has a formal name, people close to him still like to call him by his nickname "Ergou". Somehow, Ergou himself feels that the nickname is more endearing.

Ergou didn't know if there was something wrong with him or something.
