Song Dynasty, the first year of Tiansheng, the fifth day of May!
The annual Dragon Boat Festival is here.
The Dragon Boat Festival means good health, so everyone naturally attaches great importance to it.
Wanyue Building is closed today, but the building is still very lively...
Jian Yuerong led a group of singers to work.
Everyone stayed up all night, but they were still in high spirits.
"Is the rice dumpling ready? Xiaohong, wash the rice dumpling leaves and steam them in the first pot quickly... Lang Jun will go to court on the first day, so he can't be late!"
"Where's Arhat?"
Jian Yuerong was wearing an apron and was busy upstairs and downstairs: "Go outside to get some water, sweep the front door and the street, and make it cleaner!"
Cao An was lying on the stairs with a smile on his face.
Three months...
This was the first time he felt at home since he came to Song Dynasty.
"Hey, where's the red lantern?"
Jian Yuerong walked past him and said angrily: "Mr. Lang doesn't care about me at all. The slave family is too busy to open the pot... Just watch!"
Among ordinary people, who would dare to talk to the master like this?
After just a few months of getting along, Jian Yuerong had figured this young man out.
He looks fierce, but he is kind in his heart... He likes to be lively and does not want to be alone. Even if everyone makes jokes, he will not get angry.
"You're getting bolder, aren't you?"
Cao An feigned anger, stretched out his hand and patted her behind: "You actually instigated someone?"
"Oh, everyone is watching!"
Jian Yuerong was so embarrassed that she said angrily: "Didn't I think that you could have a bite of fresh rice dumplings before going to court? It would be considered a good fortune."
With that said, she went to work again.
…
The sky is dim and bright.
Cao An went out eating rice dumplings.
The Chang Dynasty of the Song Dynasty was held every fifth day of every month.
All the officials in Beijing at Kaishi would take the initiative to show their faces as long as they had nothing to do, so as to increase their presence in front of the emperor.
Si Jian——
As the name suggests: it is the position responsible for admonishing and advising the emperor.
It’s just that the emperor is not the one who calls the shots in the Song Dynasty now.
So Cao An, the remonstrator, is actually very watery...
You want to say that he is important? How can anyone around the emperor be unimportant?
But if you say he's not important, that's really the case.
After going through a series of procedures, Cao An felt very tired.
The Chang Chao in the Song Dynasty was useless. It was just a place that went through the motions and looked familiar. What really decided the matter was the following Xiao Chao meeting.
…
Cheng'an Hall.
The young emperor Zhao Zhen sat at the head.
After seeing Cao An come in, he smiled and asked, "Are you Cao An?"
"yes!"
Cao An crossed his hands and saluted with a serious look on his face: "I am a humble citizen... No, I am a lowly official... I have seen the official family! May the official family be blessed!"
The little emperor suppressed his laughter and said solemnly: "Okay, it's your first time here and you will inevitably be nervous, so just listen and learn more."
"Yes, thank you for your understanding!"
Several prime ministers stood on both sides.
Everyone couldn't help laughing as they watched Cao An making a joke...
Liu E only felt a little tight in her chest.
She thought she would never have anything to do with that old man Cao again in her life, but she didn't expect that his grandson would stand in front of her today.
But when it comes to this, I can't blame him.
If Yang Huaimin and his gang hadn't been too ruthless, I'm afraid he would still be living in Fangzhou, where would he have caused so many things?
Moreover, Cao An represents the attitude of quite a few courtiers.
This matter is really difficult to handle...
Lu Yijian was also looking at him.
Although this kid has the same interests as his own, he is not someone who can be manipulated.
He had already caused trouble for himself before entering the court, but due to his status, it was difficult for him to have an attack.
If he knows what's interesting, forget it.
If he continues to struggle, even if Lao Fan holds on, he still needs to be taught a lesson!
"Cao An."
Liu E spoke.
"Wei Chen is here!"
Cao An saluted respectfully and behaved without any discomfort.
Just like what he and Fan Zhongyan said at the beginning...
The affairs of the Cao family do not depend on the Queen Mother, but on those with vested interests!
Who is the mastermind, who will pay with his life!
Liu E said calmly: "Now that you have entered the court, all the things you have done before are behind you! You must work hard in the future and don't let this opportunity pass you by!"
"Yes, Wei Chen, remember this!"
Cao An saluted again, still very respectful.
Seeing that he knew what he was doing, everyone didn't hold on to him anymore.
Zhao Zhen picked a topic at random and said with a smile: "I heard that Cao Qing's family likes to write poems, and they have frequently produced excellent works in recent days... I wonder if you would like to show it to me today?"
It's said to be an exchange of interests, but you have to show some skills anyway, right?
Otherwise, this matter will become a joke.
"minister……"
When Cao An heard this, he paused for a moment.
Zhao Zhen didn't ask him if he knew it at all, but directly asked him to show it...
That means that what he has done in recent days has not been hidden from the court at all.
"The official forgives me..."
Cao An first bowed and then said: "I have indeed written a few poems, but... you can't just open your mouth to do this kind of thing!"
That's true.
If you can make a statement just by speaking out, how much shame will the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty be ashamed of?
"That's it, then forget it..."
Zhao Zhen felt that Cao An was not as brave and ruthless as the outside world said.
Isn't it smart to hide your clumsiness when you should?
But Liu E smiled and said calmly: "You have written more than a dozen poems, and every one of them is a masterpiece! How can you be an ordinary person with such a talent?"
this……
Cao An secretly glanced at Liu E.
I thought to myself: This bitch is really not a good person!
She was eager to stand out so that she could have a chance to slap her...
"Or are you unwilling to contribute your talents to the country?"
Liu E's eyes became slightly colder: "Now that you have entered the court, you should do things for the country! If you only think about the golden mean, I'm afraid you won't last long!"
This is already a threat to Chi Guoguo!
If you are really talented, then just stay...
But if you are a 'fake', then don't blame me for not giving you face, just go back and forth wherever you want!
Want to hide your clumsiness?
You don't deserve it!
"The humble minister will show his disgrace."
Cao An felt a little suffocated in his chest, and Langsheng said: "I was so mad as a teenager, holding the yellow on the left, holding the sky on the right... I can hold the eagle bow like the full moon, look northwest, and shoot at the wolf!"
We won't do anything else...
Can you still hold me back by reciting poems?
Cao An's face remained as usual, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes, as if he had some disdain...
Come on, it's your turn to perform!
"good words!"
Zhang Zhibai breathed out and nodded in surprise.
He originally thought that by finding some faults... he could suppress this young man who had just entered the court and let him know what it means to have a better world.
But as soon as this poem came out, not only him, but also the entire palace fell silent.
Boss Su’s poem…
Come on, you pick a fault and let me see?
Liu E also nodded calmly.
She did not lose her composure because of a poem. Instead, she looked at Cao An with a smile, a bit of teasing in her eyes.
This boy is stubborn.
His eyes were obviously full of anger...
Zhao Zhen could not hide the admiration in his eyes and praised: "Great words! Such courage! Once this poem comes out, it will embarrass so many literary talents!"
