After some exchanges, Cao You successfully persuaded Cao Yi to let him become a coach, and the two of them also gained a new understanding of Lu Yao. That is, Lu Yao is a very shrewd young man and has his own calculations.
, His shrewdness can not only be used to make money or hold new Cuju competitions, even in his official career, that is, in the political whirlpool, Lu Yao can handle it with ease.
Although Cao Yi was very happy to know that Lu Yao would not become a member of the Han family, he thought that he might form his own faction in the future, and he might have another enemy in the court.
He has a headache.
But the poem goes, "If there is wine today, I will be drunk now." Now the father and son are actually a little drunk, especially Cao Yi. After witnessing Han Yonghe's ugly behavior on the training ground today, Cao Yi is in a good mood, and his son is also in a good mood.
He also helped with the coaching affairs, so Cao Yi drank a few more drinks in Fan Lou just now, and now he is starting to get a little drunk.
Although Cao You was also a little tipsy, he was young and strong and obviously looked much more sober than Cao Yi.
Cao You supported Cao Yi all the way back to the house, and then took Cao Yi to his room. Let his mother be responsible for the next thing.
Because it was already dark outside, the servants of the Cao Mansion had all returned to their dormitories at this time, leaving only one or two servants who kept vigil. Cao Yu walked in the mansion, and his mood became entangled again.
In fact, after receiving the letter in the morning, Cao You was really sure that Lu Yao was not as cold-blooded and ruthless towards Cao Han as he had imagined before. Instead, Cao Han got it right.
Sure enough, it is also interesting to Cao Han. However, this is really not good news for Cao Yi, who has decided to hold a competition for Cao Han to marry him in the near future. If nothing else, this Cao Ping has already been married early this morning
Things started to get organized, and things needed for the contest to recruit a bride were prepared. For Cao Han, who looked surprised, everyone in the Cao family had already thought of an excuse, saying that a distinguished guest was going to visit later, so they were ready.
These things.
Cao You originally thought that this long-term pain would be worse than a short-term pain. Lu Yao, who was already not interested in Cao Han, should not let his sister have any illusions about him anymore, so he finally agreed to Cao Ping's suggestion and helped
Let everyone hide the matter from Cao Han about the martial arts competition to recruit a bride.
But now, things have taken a turn for the better, and Lu Yao has begun to care about Cao Han. However, because of this, Cao You's doubts have become even greater. If this is the case, and they both have feelings for each other, then why does Lu Yao still want to
How about following the engagement with the Han family? Judging from the decree issued by Emperor Zhao Zhen today, Lu Yao deliberately wanted to hide his participation in it. In other words, he still had no intention of confronting the Han family head-on.
Naturally, the marriage contract played a role in it. It seems that Lu Yao really does not intend to cancel the engagement with the Han family, but the Cao family cannot let Cao Han marry him as a concubine. This is equivalent to lowering his status.
.
Thinking of this, Cao You couldn't help but have a lower impression of Lu Yao. Originally, in Cao You's view, this Lu Yao was definitely not a person who would stand still for the sake of his children's love, nor was he an indecisive person. Han Yunyu and
Cao Han and Lu Yao should also know in their hearts that they can only choose one of them, but now Lu Yao's vague approach is really confusing to Cao You. On the one hand, he has not stopped his engagement with Han Yunyu, but on the other hand, he has not stopped his engagement with Han Yunyu.
On the one hand, he has always maintained contact with Cao Han. What does it mean?
In fact, Cao You was right. Just on this matter alone, Lu Yao still couldn't make up his mind. This was the biggest problem he had encountered after traveling through time. Ever since he met Cao Han before, he wanted to
After getting through, Lu Yao is now in a very tangled situation.
Speaking of Cao You, after thinking about it, Cao You still felt that with the identity and status of the Cao family, it was indeed impossible for him to condescend to marry Cao Han to the Lu family as a concubine. Therefore, a competition to recruit a bride was inevitable.
Okay, but if this happens, Cao Han will definitely be very sad when the time comes, and may even be in agony. I wonder what she will do.
If you already know the outcome of the matter, shouldn't you let your beloved sister live a happier life during this period?
This may be the only thing he, as an elder brother, can do for her now.
After thinking about this, Cao Yu came to Cao Han's room.
Unlike other women, if it were Han Yunyu, she might have already washed herself and gone to bed as soon as it got dark, but Cao Han was a restless person and usually didn't go to bed until very late every day. Cao Yu came to
When Cao Han walked to the door of his room, he saw that there was still light in the room, so he knocked on the door and entered.
Seeing her brother smelling of alcohol, Cao Han's reaction was not disgust. After all, she was used to seeing drunk people. On the contrary, what she showed was concern for Cao You.
"What's the matter, brother? It's hard to see you drunk. Is there anything bothering you today?"
Cao Han's sudden concern made Cao You feel very sorry. For a moment, he really wanted to tell Cao Han about the martial arts competition, but in the end, for the sake of the future development of the Cao family, Cao You endured it.
He came down and said, "No, it's because a lot of things happened in the palace today, and my father was in a good mood, so he took me to Fanlou to have a meal and drink some wine in the evening."
"It turns out to be a happy thing." Cao Han said with a smile when he heard this. "Speaking of which, Fan Lou's food is quite good. After all, the recipe was bought from Lu Yao, and now it is Bianliang's."
The first restaurant.”
Cao Youxin said that her sister couldn't live without Lu Yao. In fact, in modern terms, this is a typical manifestation of unrequited love and passionate love. Maybe Cao Han himself didn't realize it.
, mentioned Lu Yao himself.
Cao You cleared his throat and said, "Speaking of Lu Yao..."
As soon as Cao Han heard Lu Yao's name, he became very excited and said, "What's wrong with Lu Yao? Did you ask you to send a message? No, isn't he in seclusion these days? How can he have time to send a message?"
.”
Cao You said: "He asked me to convey to you that he hopes you can take care of yourself and be happy every day. Once the matter with him is over, he will come to you and give you an explanation."
Hearing what Cao Yu said, Cao Han was very excited and said, "Really? He really greeted me like this?"
Cao You nodded while thinking to himself that he didn't know why he would say such a thing. In fact, Lu Yao only mentioned Cao Han at the end of the letter he wrote to him. Regarding Lu Yao's plan to come to Cao Han,
Actually, the letter didn't mention it. But I didn't know what happened just now, so I just told my sister.
Is it because I can't stand my sister's enthusiasm, or do I want to see my sister happy?
"Thank you, brother, this is the happiest thing I heard today." Cao Han said with a smile.
Cao You didn't know how to answer Cao Han, so he could only make an excuse, saying that he had drunk too much, and then left Cao Han's room.
After returning to his room, Cao You took out the letter from his sleeve that Pan Wen had handed to him this morning, lit it on fire, and burned it.
"Lu Yao, Lu Yao, what are you thinking?"
Although Cao You thinks he knows Lu Yao better. Indeed, although Pan Wen and Chen Chen naturally have a better relationship with Lu Yao than Cao You, when it comes to understanding, Chen Chen, Pan Wen, and even
Zhe Kexing, the sworn brother, does not have a thorough understanding of the real Lu Yao's psychology. To say that the person who best understands Lu Yao's thoughts and thoughts is probably Cao You.
However, this time, Cao You didn't know why Lu Yao did this.
Compared with every family who was very busy today and had different moods, Lu Yao's day was actually very monotonous.
Speaking of which, today is the second day of retreat for Lu Yao, but in a real sense, today is the first day of retreat. After all, Lu Yao just decided to retreat yesterday, and Pan Wen and Chen Chen came in the evening.
Looking for myself, not only did I meet outsiders, I also had a lot of drinks.
However, now it seems that Lu Yao feels that Pan Wen and Chen Chen arrived just in time. Naturally, the reason why Lu Yao thinks so has nothing to do with the coach he later designed. After all, this position was added later.
, even though he worked hard all night last night and wrote a manuscript of more than 20 pages, in the final analysis, the coach's idea suddenly came to him when he was chatting with Chen Chen and Pan Wen. After that, Lu Yao just relied on
Based on my understanding and memory of football coaches, I wrote the more than 20 pages of manuscript.
So, in the final analysis, the position of coach is just something that came about because of the sudden inspiration when Pan Wen and Chen Chen came to find him.
What really made Lu Yao feel that the trip between the two of them was worthwhile was because Chen Chen told him about the replacement of the Han family. This matter was really important to Lu Yao. Did Lu Yao himself know about this?
, whether you will take action after knowing this matter, the results of these two questions will have many chain reactions.
Assuming that Chen Chen and Pan Wen had not mentioned this matter to Lu Yao, Lu Yao would not have asked Zhao Zhen to make any ruling on the replacement of the Han family. Although this seemed to be no problem, and Lu Yao did not know.
this matter.
But for other people, they will not look at this issue so simply, especially Zhao Zhen, and the Cao family's attitude towards them will change. They will think that Lu Yao should know about this matter, even if
I don't know, but he didn't take action after knowing it, which means that Lu Yao has acquiesced in the replacement of the Han family. Therefore, the Cao family will naturally think that Lu Yao will be with Han in the court.
Yonghe is the one who stands aside.
Not only people from the Cao family think so, but even Zhao Zhen should think so too. This is what Lu Yao cares about most. Zhao Zhen is a thoughtful person, and for the first time in the past, he has led all the team leaders.
Lu Yao had already discovered it when he met with the team members. Among other things, Han Qi had a very good relationship with the team members. At that time, Lu Yao had already read the murderous intention from Zhao Zhen's eyes. That was really true.
The true murderous intention made even Lu Yao feel a little shuddering at that time.
In Lu Yao's view, such an emperor should be the most disgusted by a single family, or someone who forms a clique. But now in the court, the Cao family and the Han family are in separate factions. Although Zhao Zhen is in a certain
I will still listen to the advice of these two people on some important matters, but it is obvious that both Han Yonghe and Cao Yi have been unknowingly alienated by Zhao Zhen recently.
Among other things, during the conversation with his father Lu Xu, Lu Yao learned that Zhao Zhen had already caused many lower-ranking officials to divide Han Dynasty on the grounds of participating in the new Cuju competition and being busy with government affairs.
Yonghe still had Cao Guoshu's job, and Cao Yi's side was gradually being ignored.
If Lu Yao didn't take any action at this time about this seemingly trivial matter of substitution, Zhao Zhen might not say anything now, but this matter would always be remembered in his heart, just like he did to him before.
Han Qi's attitude is the same. If this kind of thing accumulates too much, it will be very scary when it breaks out. Moreover, his inaction means that he supports the Han family's substitution behavior, so Zhao Zhen will definitely think that
, Lu Yao and Han Yonghe are in the same group. Even if they come to the imperial court in the future, Lu Yao will not be reused, and they will definitely marginalize themselves. This is what Lu Yao is most worried about.
For the sake of his future career, Lu Yao had to take action after learning about this incident. In fact, he had considered that maybe when Han Yonghe and Han Wenyuan made this move, they had already thought about the consequences of this incident.
The consequences caused by Lu Yao, in fact, for the Han family, their move is tantamount to forcing Lu Yao into Liangshan.
In other words, as long as Lu Yao didn't know about it at the first time, it would be too late when he reacted later. Zhao Zhen and others had already formed their first impression of Lu Yao, and they thought that Lu Yao was
People from the Han family cannot change easily. Regardless of whether Lu Yao is willing or not, he will eventually become a member of the Han family.
It has to be said that Han Yonghe is really smart. When he heard Han Wenyuan make this suggestion, he had already thought of these possible situations. Otherwise, how could Han Yonghe, who had always been not optimistic about Han Wenyuan, agree so quickly?
Following Han Wenyuan’s suggestions, what about adjustments to the team members?
Han Yonghe's purpose for doing this is actually more, and it is also a helpless move. If Lu Yao's ability was not visible to everyone a month or two ago, but now, his talent can be said to be obvious to all.
Even Lu Xu began to discuss matters within the Lu family with Lu Yao. Lu Yao's sister-in-law, Xu, was able to control the money in the family, and Lu Yao was behind it. On the other hand, as for the Han family, Han Yonghe was getting older.
, he really began to feel powerless to deal with some things. Originally, he had pinned his hopes on Han Wenyuan, but Han Wenyuan failed to handle this new Cuju competition alone. He also failed to handle the matter of selecting team members and finding a rival team.
Han Wenyuan's performance greatly disappointed Han Yonghe. He couldn't help but began to doubt that if he couldn't handle such a trivial matter well, could Han Wenyuan really be better than him when he got to the court? Or would his performance be even worse?
Can't compare to an ordinary official? Therefore, Han Yonghe finally chose Lu Yao. He did not want to give up the situation in the court that he had worked hard to manage. Moreover, not long after, as soon as the imperial examination was over, Han Yonghe had already made up his mind.
, no matter what achievements Lu Yao will achieve in the end, he will marry his daughter to him, so that the two families become one family. It is also an easy thing for him to let Lu Yao take over his power and camp.
But this time, it was just that he helped in this matter and made Lu Yao join his faction faster.
However, Han Yonghe's painstaking plan was ruined by two stupid young men. In fact, it was purely a coincidence that Pan Wen and Chen Chen went to find Lu Yao. This was something no one expected. Moreover, the two of them
The purpose of finding Lu Yao was not to change people. In fact, the two of them were not sure whether this move was suggested by Lu Yao and Han Yonghe. After all, Lu Yao had so many clever ideas, so Han Yonghe
It is understandable that he will become Lu Yao's father-in-law later and help the Han family with suggestions.
Even Chen Chen and Pan Wen think so, not to mention the thoughts of those who have a casual relationship with Lu Yao or have only heard his name.
Therefore, Lu Yao had to take action, and on the one hand, this action had to avoid the Han family. Although Lu Yao found it very difficult to prevent Han Yonghe from suspecting him, he still had to do it no matter what, even if Han Yonghe was
Doubtful, it does not allow him to have evidence to prove what actions he has taken on this matter. On the other hand, the actions he takes must also let others know that he is involved in this matter, as well as the entire so-called faction.
a clear attitude.
That is, even if he is about to become the son-in-law of the Han family, he still has his own opinions on major decisions above the court, so he should not be confused with the Han family.
To achieve these two things, the person Lu Yao can find is the emperor Zhao Zhen. He can not only help Lu Yao hide, but also show his attitude on this matter through his own actions. Moreover, by publishing
According to the decree, the only person who can understand his attitude is not only the emperor, but also other leaders. Among them, the Privy Councilor Han Qi, and Cao Yan, Cao Yu and his son, Lu Yao wants to make them
I also know that I am myself, and the Han family is the Han family.
This was a judgment Lu Yao made after hearing Chen Chen and Pan Wen tell him about the substitution of the Wenyuan team. Immediately afterwards, Lu Yao wrote the two letters and gave one to Cao You. This received
Lu Yao thought that if it were the young man he recognized, he would definitely know what he was thinking. And in the other letter, he would naturally express his feelings to Zhao Zhen.
After doing all this, Lu Yao felt at ease. He did not intend to tell Lu Xu and Lu Hao about this matter. After all, it was his own business. Moreover, his father Lu Xu also had extensive connections in the court. Although it was a bit confusing to say so.
Cruel, but Lu Yao did not intend to stand with his father in the end. He knew very clearly that if he wanted to make a difference in his official career, change the current situation in the court, and allow the Song Dynasty to develop, he must stand on his own
, find more like-minded people like Cao Ping, otherwise, it would be really difficult to make a difference in the feudal Song Dynasty.
After doing everything in front of Pan Wen and Chen Chen in the morning, Lu Yao then pretended that nothing had happened and continued to return to his room to study in seclusion.
During lunch, Lu Xu and Lu Hao had already returned from the morning court. From the conversation, nothing happened, but this was normal. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Yao was the actual person in charge of the new Cuju competition, Lu Xu would actually
It can be said that he himself pays no attention to the Cuju competition.
During the dinner, Lu Yao discovered that his mother Yan's attitude towards his sister-in-law Xu had softened a lot. He wondered if this was because Xu had indeed achieved certain results after taking charge of the money, so this situation occurred.
However, for Lu Yao, everything has been developing steadily now. For him, who is about to face the imperial examination, it is better to do less than to do more, so he did not ask any more questions.
Then, in the afternoon, dinner, and evening, no one from the Lu family came to visit today, which made Lu Yao feel a lot relieved. His retreat life was quite comfortable today, and he could finally read a book quietly.
Preparing for the imperial examination.
One night passed, and the next day, everything was as before.
In the palace, after the morning court, Zhao Zhen left Tang Long behind.
"How about it? Have the coaches of each team been confirmed?"
Tang Long synthesized the information he had found and replied: "It's confirmed. Zhao Hu hired a young man from his own house as the coach for the Tigers. The grassroots team and the Fanlou team are both led by them.
The leaders, that is, Chen Chen and Pan Wen serve as coaches, and Chen Chen is both a coach and a player. Similar to the grassroots team, there is the Wangcai team and the Goshawk team. Not surprisingly, the Goshawk team is a coach.
It’s Gu Liang, and the Wangcai team is also coached by a member of the team.”
"Where are the Cao family and Han family?" Zhao Zhen said.
Tang Long replied: "In the Cao family, the eldest son Cao Yilai serves as the coach, and in the Han family, Han Wenyuan serves as the coach."
"It seems that the Cao family has to do better than the Han family in this aspect. That's fine. This kind of game is more enjoyable." Zhao Zhen said.
Tang Long thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, who is the coach of our Huangtian team?"
