Northern Song Dynasty: It’s a showdown, who said I, Zhao Zhen, don’t have a son?

Chapter 61 Why does this man always sound like he’s a father?

After leaving Chunming Tower, Zhou Fei had a somewhat lewd expression on his face.

"Hey, little man, you've been in there for so long, you can't be eaten, right?"

Zhao He immediately looked serious: "Brother Zhou, what are you talking about? Am I like this kind of person?"

"picture!"

"Okay, this is where the brotherhood ends. I won't be able to bring you to Chunming Tower again in the future..."

You must have eaten without being eaten. At that time, Zhao He's legs were paralyzed and he couldn't move at all. He could only let the goblin take advantage of him.

Zhao He looked up at the sky, looking sad and angry.

Why are my legs so unsatisfactory!

After returning home, Zhao He was suddenly stunned for a moment.

Is someone at home?
Zhao He stopped and listened for a while, and heard Old Man Fan inside, as well as Guo Huai, and another person's voice.

Is it the Li Zhen who likes to visit his home whenever he has nothing to do?
Zhao He couldn't understand this person.

If you are not a relative or an acquaintance, why do you come to see me when you have nothing to do, and why do you always try to persuade yourself to study and make progress?
Although in feudal society, the weight of things like fame is very important, which is far more obvious than in modern society.

For example, if you are a poor scholar, as long as you have fame or wealth, you will have to pay homage according to etiquette.

Of course, whether the businessman is a bird or not is a different matter than the poor scholar.

The status of officials is always much higher than that of ordinary people. Although their status is indeed lofty, Zhao He really has no idea of ​​touching it.

Without talent and learning, the imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty were very difficult.

That Su Xun is very famous today, right?One of the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties taught the other two of the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties step by step.

For such a person, he failed to pass the Jinshi examination for ten years and was already over 50 when he became a Shangguan.

So if you ask a science student like Zhao He to take the imperial examination, you might as well ask him to learn how Jiang Taigong fished!
Secondly, the officialdom was too deep. Although he felt that he had some skills in human relations, he was far behind those scheming officials.

Thirdly, if you have a low official position, you have to grovel and ask others to do things. It may seem like a good thing, but in fact only you know the pain.

Regarding this reason, he told Old Man Fan once, but later Old Man Fan stopped persuading him.

Sigh... Although this Li Zhen has some brain problems, he doesn't have any malicious intentions at all. I have to deal with him well.

In the house, several people were making tea around the stove and chatting happily.

He was analyzing what Zhao He had done in recent days.

Zhao Zhen always thought that after Zhao He entered Kaifeng Mansion, he had to rely on himself to rescue him, and he was a little emotional at the time.

Unexpectedly, this kid came out on his own based only on his fight with Fan Lou, and the fact that he ordered a thorough investigation and exiled Dou Rushang was actually the icing on the cake.

This made Zhao Zhen sigh. He had a strategy at a young age. How can he still do it when he grows up?
I really want to bring this kid into the palace to train him, so I can quickly take over my class!

He couldn't sit in this emperor's position for a whole day, the pressure was too great.
When the door opened, Zhao Zhen looked up and saw that it was Zhao He, with a smile on his face.

"came back?"

"Well, I'm back."

Zhao He's expression was a little strange. Why are you speaking in the same tone as a father asking his son?

Who are you? This is my home!

Zhao Zhen felt a little happy and said: "I heard what Uncle Guo and Mr. Fan have said about you recently. You have been invincible since the ancient cave. You have to be merciful and not merciful. You have done a good job!"

Zhao He thought to himself that your poem was so flawless. If I learned this skill, wouldn't my ability to show off be able to take it to the next level?
Zhao He said with a smile: "It's just for self-protection, it's nothing. It seems that Brother Li's life is pretty good recently?"

Li Zhen smiled and nodded: "It's okay, it can't compare to your thunder. Some of my own affairs are not too troublesome." Well, it is indeed not so loud. After all, the officials do not handle government affairs like Zhao He. Big moves.

The two people on the side looked at each other involuntarily, and then looked away with different expressions.

This old thing!
This old slave!

Zhao He looked at Zhao Zhen's face. It looked much better than the first time he saw it. It seemed that he had been restrained recently.

This kind of thing requires a steady flow of water.

Zhao Zhen suggested: "I've been wanting to play chess lately, but I've been having trouble finding a suitable opponent. How about we play a game?"

Zhao He did not refuse.

Fan Zhongyan immediately took out the chessboard, and the two chatted while playing.

"I heard that the young man likes to visit brothels recently?"

As soon as these words came out, the three of them panicked, and Zhao He's expression suddenly froze.

Damn, who sold me out?
"Brother Li misunderstood. It's just some business with Chunming Tower. I don't like going there..."

Pooh!
Guo Huai and Fan Zhongyan both spat in their hearts, "Aren't you afraid of thunder from the sky when you say this?"

But the officials are indeed very thoughtful, and they have been tested three times.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen waved his hand casually: "It's just a joke. I heard that Xiao Langjun can beat that Fan Lou, and Chunming Tower is also very helpful. If it's just business, there will be no problem."

"But that kind of place is too vulgar after all. It has nothing to do with one's character. It's better to go less often."

Zhao He nodded, but then he was stunned.

Why do I look so guilty? What does it have to do with you if I go to Chunlou?

But after saying this, his personality collapsed.

He is a young man with a very sense of justice!

"Brother Li, relax. I'm not interested in that place, and of course I'm not interested in the women there. It's really about business. I only like money."

Zhao Zhen commented: "After you have accumulated money to a certain extent, it is actually just a number to you. Nowadays, you can buy many things with money, such as mansions, carriages and even three or five concubines. But after you have all these, The sense of gain that money can bring you will actually be much less.”

Gee, I suddenly felt philosophical.

Zhao He thought for a moment, then dropped a chess piece and said, "Then what does Mr. Li think is the higher pursuit?"

"The world!"

Zhao He immediately took a breath of cold air and quickly made a hissing gesture.

"You can't say this. If word spreads, we will be rebelling!"

Fan Zhongyan and the two of them thought that your behavior was almost like a rebellion, right?
If it weren't for Cao Lang protecting you, you would have gone in long ago.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if we just talk. Today's officials don't care about this."

Well, because this was said by the official himself.

Zhao He commented helplessly: "Actually, what you said is the same as what I am pursuing, but the things it can bring are different. Money can bring an improvement in the level of physical enjoyment, and power can be greater. Bringing spiritual enjoyment, both pursuits are actually never-ending.”

"The world you are talking about is probably a pursuit of rights..."

In the small house, the two of them were sitting around the fire, quietly plotting about the most taboo thing in the world.

The number of chess pieces on the chessboard where two people are playing is also increasing.
