A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Taro still loves to sleep and will cry from time to time, leaving the new parents Shen An and Yang Zhuoxue at a loss.

"If you keep crying, Daddy will throw you away! If you cry again...you will be thrown away!"

The wailing in the room made people's ears numb. Shen An hugged the baby and pretended to throw it out, and then took it back, but the sound of Uncle Taro's waves remained the same and he kept wailing.

Yang Zhuoxue was a little anxious and reached out for the child, "Guanren, give it to me."

"What are you?" Shen An bumped the child and said harshly: "I can coax him right away."

"Brother, Taro's throat is going bad."

Guoguo also wanted to hug her nephew, but with her brother and sister-in-law in front, and Aunt Chen watching from the side, she needed to find every opportunity.

"Really?" Shen An was a little nervous, and someone from outside happened to report: "Mr. Lang, someone from the palace is here."

"Well... Taro had never cried before, but he was shocked by this..."

Shen An handed the wailing taro to Yang Zhuoxue and went out as usual.

As soon as I went out, the crying inside stopped.

"This child... must be tired from crying just now."

It’s embarrassing for a father to be unable to coax his children!

Shen An could only comfort himself, while Zhao Wuwu beside him was holding back laughter.

She has stayed in the palace for many years and is very familiar with those noble people.

No matter how amiable a noble person is, he will still have airs, that is, dignity.

But Shen An was not dignified at home. He was very kind to the servants, his wife and children.

Moreover, he also cares about his family. From the time his child was born, he basically never goes out if nothing happens.

In this era, it was rare for men to take care of children, but Shen An hugged Taro whenever he had time, and even changed diapers many times.

This is a seemingly ordinary person, and he is very kind.

What a nice guy!

The good man Shen An came to the front and when he saw it was Zhang Baibian, he laughed and said: "Zhang Douzhi is a rare visitor, it's rare!"

Zhang Baibian said with a cold face, "I just got the news that the people who rebelled against Suizao are Mr. Wen's people."

"Smell the souchong!"

Shen An immediately shouted, and then asked: "How many people are there?"

If there were too many people, he was going to collect Uncle Cao Guo's body, which would at least create a bond of brotherly friendship.

Zhang Baibian said: "Two to three hundred people."

"That's not much. Uncle Guo can definitely kill them."

They were just a bunch of rabble, and Shen An felt that they were just a good place for Cao Yi to practice.

"They are all what Mr. Wen has practiced in the past few years. He was originally going to make seeds to prepare for the future attack on the city. Who would have thought that when he came back with heavy losses, some of his subordinates rashly pulled out these people..."

Damn it!

Lao Cao, you are going to die.

With two to three hundred elite men, Lao Cao was afraid that they were in danger.

Shen An suddenly remembered his arrangement and relaxed.

"Mr. Lang."

Wen Xiaozhong arrived, Shen An asked: "Mr. Wen has trained hundreds of elites similar to the army...did you know?"

"I know." Wen Xiaozhong said, "When the villain came out a few years ago, those people just came in."

"This matter is difficult."

Zhang Ba8 said: "The thousand people brought by Uncle Guo are not elites. If they are defeated in a battle, Uncle Guo will be in danger!"

"Don't be afraid!" Shen An felt that his arrangement should be correct.

"What do you rely on?" Zhang Bian didn't care about Cao Yi's life or death at all, but Zhao Shu couldn't!

"If my uncle is killed in battle, the Queen Mother will be angry, and the officials may not be able to stop her."

If he hadn't been worried about this, Zhang wouldn't have come to Shen's house at all.

"No." Shen An said firmly: "A certain guarantee."

Zhang Baibian glanced at him, "What did you do?"

"Kerosene bombs and gunpowder bombs, as long as my uncle is not stupid, the two or three hundred people will not be able to move aside."

"Is it too late?"

"There's enough time."

Even if Cao Yi can't react, the people who follow the army to operate kerosene bombs and kerosene bombs are all veterans. They will make up for their decision-making mistakes. This is Shen An's guarantee.

…

"Shen An's guarantee?"

Zhao Shu had a headache. After learning that it was Mr. Wen's people who were rebelling, he had already discussed this with the ministers twice. Five thousand cavalry had already set off to rush to Cao Yi's aid, but he was afraid that it would be too late!

"Yes, Shen An gave uncle Guo oil bombs and gunpowder bombs."

"Why does he still have it?" Zhao Shu slapped his forehead after finishing speaking, "Yes, he is getting these things for the navy, and he has saved a lot of them at Jinmingchi."

Then Gao Taotao took over the matter and went to comfort Queen Mother Cao.

"Wen Fifty-Two?"

Hearing this name, Queen Mother Cao's eyes became stern, "That's a traitor. Dalang has inherited the martial arts of the ancestors of the Cao family and will definitely return victorious. So... I believe in Shen An."

Gao Taotao looked carefully and felt that his aunt was not lying, so he told Zhao Shu when he got back.

"My Majesty firmly believes that my uncle can defeat the traitors."

Zhao Shu nodded and immediately immersed himself in state affairs.

The loneliness in the palace was even worse for Empress Dowager Cao.

In the small room, the faint smell of incense made the statue look even more mysterious.

Queen Mother Cao sat down cross-legged and said, "Close the door."

The chamberlain closed the door behind him.

"Dalang..."

Her body softened, her head bowed slightly, and her breathing became rapid.

She had no children in her life, and her only concern was her younger brother.

But her brother was in danger, what could she do?

It is the Cao family's choice to go to war, and any consequences must be borne by themselves.

But that’s Mr. Wen!

For decades, the Wen family had caused a lot of trouble like rats. The Imperial City Division had fought with them countless times, winning and losing, but could not completely eradicate them.

Cao Yi followed Shen An several times into battle. Is it possible for him to lead the army alone now?

Empress Dowager Cao gradually raised her head with firm eyes.

"The Cao family cannot retreat!"

"If you die in battle, that's your fate."

"The Cao family can no longer retreat, but... the eldest sister is reluctant to let you go to risk..."

The sounds in the room gradually became inaudible, and then turned into the sound of chanting scriptures, which was very pious.

The lonely sound continued until the next morning.

"Empress!"

Um?

Empress Dowager Cao, who was chanting sutras, raised her head, her bloodshot eyes filled with coldness, "Say!"

She clenched her fists and stayed up all night, but her body still didn't feel tired.

Outside the door was Ren Shouzhong, who said happily: "Madam, uncle Guo is back."

He stood outside the door, leaning forward, his face full of ecstasy, as if his father was back.

The door opened, and Ren Shouzhong, who was leaning forward, stumbled. Empress Dowager Cao reached out and hit the doorpost on the side.

While he was covering his nose, Empress Dowager Cao's eyes wandered around and asked, "Where is Da Lang?"

One of the chamberlains had long been dissatisfied with Ren Shouzhong's behavior of grabbing credit, and said, "My uncle has just arrived at the palace and is at the official's house."

Queen Mother Cao slowly turned around and bowed to the statue inside...

"Thank you..."

…

Cao Yixiong stood in the hall with high spirits, "Your Majesty, those people launched an attack in the early morning, but I was well prepared and quickly gathered my men, defeated them with kerosene bombs and gunpowder bombs, and then launched a pursuit..."

Zhao Shu stroked his beard and nodded, feeling that Cao Yi had made progress.

Even the prime ministers and ministers looked at Cao Yi with admiration, thinking that everyone thought Cao Yi was a half-dandy, but they didn't expect that this man still had a lot of skills.

Preparing against night attacks is a compulsory course, but the level of practice depends on practice. Cao Yi handed in his homework with a night raid encounter that took place in the early morning.

Full marks!

"After pursuing them all the way, I deliberately ordered the rebels to be surrounded outside Suanzao City, so that the common people could watch, and the fate of the traitors was spread everywhere..."

Zhao Shu was a little more satisfied, feeling that this move was at least Zaifu level.

Killing chickens to scare monkeys is the best tactic of politicians.

Uncle Guo is pretty good!

"Later, the rebels complained that the powerful were corrupt. I went there alone and fought with the enemy. The two of them met and killed the traitor who was supposed to be the assassin!"

The man's sword skills were dangerous, and it looked like he was practicing for assassination.

Zhao Shu was stroking his beard. He was startled by these words and pulled it, frowning in pain.

"You...you actually killed Mr. Wen's people?"

Even Han Qi found it unbelievable, thinking that Mr. Wen's men were very skilled. You, an old playboy, could actually kill a person?

Facing these questioning looks, Cao Yi said loudly: "I am a member of the Cao family!"

Cao family, Cao Bin’s grandson!

Zhao Shu dared to believe it at this moment, "Uncle Guo... is very brave. If Uncle Guo hadn't gone this time, there would have been trouble over there with Jujube."

If it were someone else who went there, Shen An wouldn't be able to get support, and the outcome would be unpredictable.

Zhao Xu figured out the cause and effect, and said happily: "I heard that the family has been doing harm for many years, so I probably thought that my uncle was..."

It was difficult for him to say that. Cao Yan said calmly: "They think I am a dandy."

"Yes! But you, a dandy, led the army to defeat the rebels' plan. UU Reading www.uｋｋｈhu.net If all the dandies in the Song Dynasty are like this, I hope there will be more."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for clearing my name."

With Zhao Shu around, Cao Yi will be the leading figure in the dandy class from now on.

"Wen Wuji was burned to death by Shen An's sister last time, and now his confidence in rebellion has been wiped out by Uncle Guo. I don't know what he will do when he gets the news. Will he vomit blood? Or shed tears, hahahaha!"

The official family was in a good mood, Han Qi and others also joined in and said some nice words, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

As soon as Zhao Shu was in a good mood, he asked: "Remember that my uncle was the envoy of the North Academy of Xuanhui, the envoy of Baoping Jiedu, and the judge of Yunzhou, right?"

"The official's memory makes me ashamed..." Cao Yan was overjoyed, knowing that benefits were coming.

Zhao Shu said with a smile: "Let's make things the same!"

The official title of Pingzhangshi came from the former Tang Dynasty. Since this dynasty, it has gradually become a virtual title.

But being able to obtain this virtual title is a great support for the current Cao family and Cao Yi.

The Cao family did not fall, but stood up again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cao Yan was so excited that he knelt down to thank him.

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "My queen said she believed you, but she felt uneasy after all. So... I'll ask my queen, is it convenient to meet my uncle?"

Someone went there and came back later to report: "Your Majesty is already waiting."

You can't say that the Queen Mother can't wait to see her brother, that would make the palace too difficult.

Cao Yan thanked him and followed the servant to the back.

He politely didn't look around until he felt something, then he looked up.

In front of the empty hall, Queen Mother Cao stood with her hands behind her back.

"Sister..."
