I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 137: Becoming a monk and becoming a homemaker, Su Jingming, the matchmaker

August 22.

The entire Bianjing city was almost searched, but there was still no trace of Zhao Zongshi.

The court almost turned into a mess.

Some officials even believed that Zhao Zongshi had left Bianjing by boat.

That would be even harder to find!

At this time, Su Liang suddenly thought of someone and hurriedly rushed to Chui Gong Hall.

Zhang Mao heard that Su Liang was here for Zhao Zongshi and quickly invited Su Liang to the palace.

"Jing Ming, do you know where Thirteen is?" Zhao Zhen asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, officials. I don't know, but I guess someone in the palace should know."

"In the palace? Who?" Zhao Zhen stood up.

"The Queen's niece Gao Taotao. The Thirteenth Young Master may not have told Gao Taotao where he was going, but Gao Taotao should be the one who can best guess it."

"Oops! I was negligent. I was negligent. Taotao is Thirteen's best friend in the palace. The two of them talk about everything, so there will definitely be clues."

After saying that, Zhao Zhen said: "Call Taotao to the palace!"

After a while.

A pretty girl about 16 years old slowly came to the hall.

Just as she was about to bow to Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen strode down and asked, "Taotao, do you know where Thirteen is?"

Gao Taotao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a hint of tears: "Guan family, I am also very concerned about Thirteen's whereabouts, but...but he didn't tell Taotao where he was going?"

"I don't think you are hiding it from me. Shisan has a very close relationship with you. Think about it. When he chatted with you in the past, did he ever say where he wanted to go or who he wanted to see?" Zhao Zhen then asked.

Gao Taotao thought seriously.

After a while.

Gao Tao said: "Thirteen once told me that he was not allowed freedom in the palace and was not welcomed at home. It would be better... to go to the temple to clean up. He... he... might have gone to the temple."

"Temple? Can you identify which temple it is?"

Currently, there are hundreds of temples in Bianjing City, and they are not easy to find.

Gao Taotao thought for a while and said, "It's probably Xianning Temple, where the two of us once prayed for the official family and the empress!"

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhang Maoze at the door.

Zhang Mao immediately understood and walked quickly outside.

After a while, Gao Taotao went to the back garden.

Zhao Zhen and Su Liang were sitting in the tea room of the side hall, waiting for the news.

Zhao Zhen said helplessly: "Alas! This kid, Thirteen, is really under great pressure. I ignored his thoughts. Even if he is not the prince, he is still my adopted son. How could I treat him poorly!"

"You are fifteen or sixteen, which is the age when you have a rebellious character. The Thirteenth Young Master has always been forbearing, and no one knows what he is thinking. I feel that the Thirteenth Young Master got into a fight, and now he ran away from home. When he comes back, he will definitely be able to Growth!" Su Liang said.

"I hope so." Zhao Zhen nodded.

Immediately, Zhao Zhen and Su Liang started chatting word by word.

About an hour later.

Zhang Mao quickly came to the side hall and said breathlessly: "Guan family, good news, good news. The Thirteenth Young Master has been found. He is in Xianning Temple. He is in good health and there is no problem." .”

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but take a long breath and said to the chamberlain on the side: "Go and tell the Queen quickly!"

At this time, Zhao Zhen saw that there was no joy on Zhang Maoze's face and asked: "What? Are there any other questions?"

"The Thirteenth Young Master, he... he... he doesn't want to leave the temple, he said... said... he is ready to become a monk!"

"What? A monk?"

Zhao Zhen stood up instantly, and Su Liang also stood up quickly.

This time, Zhao Zongshi played a little too big!

At present, the official family has no heirs.

As the current sole heir, he actually proposed to become a monk. How could Zhao Zhen not be angry!
"Catch...bring this bastard back to me!" Zhao Zhen said angrily.

This time, Zhao Zhen was really angry.

Su Liang rolled his eyes and said, "Don't be anxious, officials. The Thirteenth Young Master has always known justice. To be able to say this is because he has a mental problem. If the officials force him, he may not be able to think clearly and act stupidly." thing."

"It's better to let me go and persuade you. But before I go, can the officials promise me something?"

"speak."

Immediately, Su Liang expressed his wish.

Zhao Zhen's mood relaxed a little and said: "Okay, the queen mentioned it to me at the beginning of this year, but I ignored it at the time!"

Immediately, Su Liang left the palace and took a carriage directly to Xianning Temple.

……

More than half an hour later, Su Liang arrived at Xianning Temple.

Xianning Temple is located in the west of Bianjing City.

Compared with the bustling and commercial atmosphere of Daxiangguo Temple, this place is very quiet.

The monks grow food behind the temple and vegetables in front of the temple, making them almost self-sufficient.

It is the best place for scholars to live in seclusion or study and ask questions.

If you hide here and never come out, it will be really hard to find.

And this moment.

There were people gathered outside a Zen room in the backyard of Xianning Temple.

The leader among them is Zhao Yunrang, the king of Runan County.

At this moment, Zhao Yunrang was bursting with tears and almost knelt down in front of the door of the monastery.

"Son, don't think too hard! All the mistakes you make are your father's fault. If you become a monk, our family will be completely ruined..."

At this time, Su Liang stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Young Master may need some peace and quiet. Let me come. I have a way to get him to see me."

Zhao Yunrang wiped the tears from his eyes. He looked at Zhang Maoze and immediately understood that Su Liang was sent by the government.

He immediately stood up and said: "Su Yushi, my son has scissors in his hand, you...don't say anything to scare him."

"Yeah." Su Liang nodded.

Immediately, Zhao Yunrang and the rest of the Zhao family retreated back.

Su Liang walked slowly to the door and knocked gently.

"Thirteenth Young Master, I am Su Jingming, the supervisory censor. After you read this note, let me come in and let's have a chat." After that, Su Liang slipped a note under the door.

Leaning slightly, there was a sound of footsteps in the house.

Then, Zhao Zongshi's voice came from inside the house: "Su Yushi, you can only come in alone!"

"Okay, okay, Thirteenth Young Master, don't worry!" Su Liang promised.

"Squeak!"

The door slowly opened, revealing a gap.

Zhao Zongshi stretched out his head and saw that Su Liang was the only one in front of the door. He couldn't help but open the door a little, let Su Liang squeeze in, and then quickly closed the door.

Su Liang saw that Zhao Zongshi was still holding a pair of scissors in his hand, and it was obvious that he really had a tendency to think too hard.

Zhao Zongshi sat beside the bed, pointed to the chair not far away, and motioned for Su Liang to sit there.

Su Liang sat down with a smile.

Zhao Zongshi raised the note in his hand and said, "Did Tao Tao really ask you to come?"

There were seven words written on the note: I am here for Gao Taotao.

Su Liang shook his head slightly.

"No. I just want to test your relationship with Gao Taotao."

"You...you...get out!" Zhao Zongshi held up the scissors and said angrily.

"Thirteenth Young Master, don't be anxious. Let me tell you something. At the beginning of this year, the Queen wanted you to get married to Gao Taotao, and the officials also had the same intention. I planned to tell you at the end of the year, but I didn't expect you to become a monk despite shouting!"

At this moment, Zhao Zongshi was in a daze.

16-year-old Zhao Zongshi has no scheming thoughts, all his thoughts are written on his face.

Su Liang could tell at a glance that Zhao Zongshi didn't want to become a monk at all.

It was only because the official family did not regard him as one of their own, and the brothers and sisters of the Runan County Prince's Palace did not regard him as one of their own, that he had the idea of ​​running away from home and becoming a monk.

Zhao Zongshi thought for a while and said: "You...you...don't lie to me. At this time...at this time, the official family and the queen must have been heartbroken by me. I...I don't want to stay at home anymore. At this moment, I ...Besides becoming a monk, all I can do is die!"

After saying that, Zhao Zongshi put the scissors at his throat, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Don't... don't... don't let your mind wander." Su Liang quickly stopped him.

"Thirteenth Young Master, I understand your grievances, and the officials and the queen also understand your grievances. As a royal family member, you are really under great pressure. But you have to believe that the officials and the queen have always been kind, and they won't do it after we have a close relationship. After becoming a son, I will abandon you."

"Just an hour ago, the official family made me a promise. If you can go to the palace to admit your mistake, the official family will forget about it and prepare for your marriage to Gao Taotao next month."

"Do you...really...really?" Zhao Zongshi was very surprised, with a hint of joy on his face.

Su Liang puffed out his chest and said, "As a Taiwan admonishment officer, I naturally mean every word of what I say is true."

"Then...then...I admit my mistake!" Zhao Zongshi put down the scissors.

Su Liang suddenly smiled.

Zhao Zongshi was able to compromise so quickly because Su Liang caught his weakness.

In the memory of Su Liang's previous life, Zhao Zongshi and Gao Taotao were childhood sweethearts who had been in love throughout their lives.

Moreover, Gao Taotao will be known as "Yao and Shun among women" in the future.

Although the axis of history has changed under Su Liang's intervention, Gao Taotao's ability can definitely stabilize Zhao Zongshi's mood.

The current Zhao Zongshi.

The palace is not his home, and the Runan County Prince's Mansion is not his home either.

All his negative emotions come from the feeling that he is homeless and has no one to rely on, so he has no love in life.

In the entire Bianjing City, the only one who could give him a home was Gao Taotao.

After he got married, he no longer wanted to be a monk.

……

After a while.

Su Liang walked out with Zhao Zongshi.

After Zhao Zongshi apologized to Zhao Yunrang, he went straight to the ban.

In the palace, Zhao Zongshi burst into tears and asked Zhao Zhen for forgiveness.

Zhao Zhen had already promised to forget the blame and there would be no punishment. He immediately promised to choose an auspicious day next month to marry Zhao Zongshi and Gao Taotao.

Zhao Zongshi was so moved that he cried bitterly, while Zhao Zhen kept shouting: My son is fine!Just hope my son is fine!
A touching scene of a loving father and a filial son.

soon.

The news that Su Liang persuaded Zhao Zongshi to return to the palace to admit his mistake spread to the ears of officials in various yamen.

Officials are full of praise for it.

Not only was Su Liang able to quickly find the whereabouts of Zhao Zongshi, he could also use his words to convince Zhao Zongshi, who was planning to become a monk, to get married next month.

This mouth is so powerful!

Some people even joked that——

Su Liang's move not only stabilized his official position, but also stabilized his son's career.

After Su Liang suggested that there were lead, mercury, and cinnabar poisons in the uterus, official concubines became pregnant frequently.

Any concubine who gives birth to a son will definitely be credited with Su Liang's contribution.

Now, Su Liang has become the matchmaker between Zhao Zongshi and Gao Taotao.

If Zhao Zongshi succeeds to the throne, Gao Taotao will be the queen, and he will definitely be grateful to Su Liang.

And if they give birth to a son and become the future prince or even emperor, they will definitely remember Su Liang's achievements today.

in other words.

No matter whether Zhao Zhen's biological son or his adopted son ascends the throne in the future, Su Liang will be a major contributor.

This is much more powerful than Chen Zhizhong's Conglong Gong.

When Su Liang heard this statement, he almost doubled over with laughter.

I didn't expect that I would unknowingly unlock such a great achievement.

After Xia Song and Gao Ruona heard this statement, their back molars were almost broken.

They felt that this must be Su Liang's conspiracy.

But when he thought that Su Liang had designed such a conspiracy that had benefited generations, he couldn't help but shake his head.

If this was the case, Su Liang would be too terrible.

　Compared with Zhao Zhen and Zhang Meiren, Zhao Zongshi and Gao Taotao in history can be regarded as true love. Gao Taotao was the daughter of Yao and Shun, but Zhao Zongshi was too mediocre and died young.
