Two days later.

In the past two days, he has dealt with all the things that should be handled, but speaking of which, Wang Chen has a headache, and now he is grasping the military power in the world, and there are a lot of things to deal with, many of which he has not experienced, and it is a little difficult to deal with, so he is ready to find a helper for himself.

Other than that, he was satisfied.

In the afternoon, squinted a little.

Everything has settled, the throne has belonged, and the people who should be cleaned up have also been cleaned up, and everything before has come to a very perfect end for Wang Chen, so he slept very sweetly.

Since Zhao Kuangyin suppressed himself when he was alive, Wang Chen has never been idle, first attacked Bagan and had an old base camp, and then returned to the Northern Song Dynasty, calculating every day how to turn danger into disaster, and now not only turning danger into disaster, but also whether it is extremely Tailai, in the eyes of everyone in disbelief, has completed an earth-shattering reversal.

By what?

Wisdom!

Strength!

Powerful psyche!

Well, don't brag, after all, it's still a mysterious space.

This is the most exciting thing Wang Chen has ever done since he grew up, and it is even more refreshing than destroying Bagan in ten days, although the previous challenge was very severe, but under so much pressure and oppression, he still handed over a perfect answer.

For a while, Wang Chen's heart was very satisfied, now he is extraordinary, how many people are there in Bagan? The Song Dynasty has a population of tens of millions, and the power is in power, and it is false to say that he is not excited.

Leave the temple division.

Ride home in a horse-drawn carriage.

As soon as he walked in, Wang Chen heard two voices from the hall.

"Yo, why are you here?"

"Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, Zhao is very worried. ”

"Stay in my house for dinner tonight? “

"That'...... Then I might as well obey my fate with respect, thank you Brother Wang. ”

One of them was Wang Jien's voice, and the other sounded a little strong was a middle-aged man's voice, Wang Chen didn't know it, and this voice didn't seem to have been heard.

Wang Yuncang's voice came, "Master, who is this gentleman?"

I only heard Wang Jien laughing inside: "Yuncang, this is the famous Zhao Xiang, now His Majesty has reused him as the prime minister, and he just returned to Beijing today, no, we have some old friends, so he came to see our family, hehe, you go and pour tea for Zhao Xiang." ”

Zhao Pu said: "Brother Wang, you're welcome, I'm not thirsty." ”

"You must not have drunk this tea of mine, it is a rare thing that my brother Chen got it, what is it called fried tea. Wang Jien said.

Zhao Pu said in the next sentence: "The palace marshal hasn't returned to the house yet?"

Wang Jien smiled: "Yes, I've been busy with him recently." ”

Zhao Pu?

Returning to Beijing so soon?

And why did this product come straight here as soon as it came back? It seems that I heard something, so I guess I would like to say a few words of thanks.

Wang Chen heard the sound, walked in slowly, and as soon as he stepped into the threshold, he saw a forty-four or five-year-old Confucian who looked quite heroic and sassy, wearing a green shirt and robe, very simple, and looked very thrifty, in fact, Zhao Pu was very poor and extravagant.

"Zhao Xiang, be polite. Wang Chen took the initiative to say hello.

Zhao Pu hurriedly looked back, immediately stood up, and said with a smile: "This must be the palace marshal, right? When he saw Wang Chen, his kind words immediately came up.

Wang Chen sweated, and said in his heart, "Are you still patting me on the back?" He knew that Zhao Pu was a clever person, and he also replied: "I have heard that Zhao Xiang is full of economy for a long time, and I am fortunate to see Sansheng today." ”

Zhao Pushang boasted to each other: "False praise, false praise, how dare I have this bit of knowledge to make an axe in front of the world-famous palace marshal." ”

The two of them bragged to each other and smiled, and for a while, Wang Chen and Zhao Pu actually had a feeling of sympathy for each other, talent, this sycophant is comfortable.

On the contrary, Wang Jien and Wang Yuncang couldn't interject next to them, and they were stunned to watch these two stinky and shameless people praising each other, it was okay to open it just now, but the more the two of them blew it out, what kind of world no one knows you, and what looks better than Pan An.

A bit of gossip.

Wang Chen was touted very comfortably.

Similarly, Zhao Pu also seems to be very high in nature.

Wang Chen is actually not surprised by Zhao Pu's attitude, and he can get a glimpse of it from history.

When Zhao Kuangyin was alive, Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi did not deal with each other everywhere, but later after Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, why did he reuse Zhao Pu as his prime minister? Could it be that Zhao Er is really so big-hearted?

No, no.

In fact, Zhao Pu, like Song Hao, belongs to the famous wall grass.

Let's take the matter between him and Zhao Er.

Zhao Guangyi was not in the right position, and he was always afraid that someone would say something, and it was recorded in the wild history that Zhao Pu, who was demoted at that time, took the initiative to return to Beijing to find Zhao Er, and offered a plan - to confirm the alliance of Jinkui.

Originally, only the people of the Zhao family knew about the Jinkui Alliance, although Zhao Pu was also surnamed Zhao, and actually had nothing to do with the old Zhao family, but this thing saw Zhao Guangyi ascending the throne, and when he was the grass on the wall, he forged the holy decree of the Jinkui Alliance, indicating that Zhao Er was the legitimate heir.

Now that he knows that he is powerful, it is not surprising that he came to the door to show his goodwill.

But for a moment, Zhao Pu led the words to Wang Yuncang, "I heard what this gentleman said just now that he is very literate, and he must also be a person who is rich and rich, and he is the staff of the palace marshal?"

Wang Yuncang was touted flutteringly.

Wang Jien answered: "His name is Wang Yuncang, he used to help my brother Chen do business, he was a shopkeeper, he had read books, and he also made good accounts, so he can be regarded as half a staff." ”

Zhao Pu immediately said: "I'll just say, do you have any fame?"

"No, I haven't participated in the imperial examination. Wang Yuncang told the truth.

Zhao Pu smiled and said: "What about me, now that I am the prime minister, it is the time to employ people under the Zhongshu Gate, and it just so happens that I have a few places in the shade, why don't you come and help me do something?" The reason why he aimed at Wang Yuncang to curry favor with Wang Chen was because he could see that Wang Jien and Wang Chen seemed to attach great importance to it, otherwise how could he let a mere "shopkeeper" enter the room when he and Wang Jien were talking.

"Let Zhao Xiang bother. Wang Chen smiled and waved his hand: "I have already given him the quota of my Enyin, and I am going to let him go to the household department of Shangshu Province to make a history." ”

Zhao Pu said very politely: "I remember that Shangshu Province is now under the management of Shen Xiang, I have a little friendship with him, help me inform him?"

When Wang Jien heard this, he smiled and said, "Then there is Lao Zhaoxiang." ”

"It's okay, it's a trivial matter. Zhao Pu looked very happy.

Today, Zhao Pu is not as simple as visiting the door, there is a purpose, he and Zhao Guangyi are not dealing with each other, and they were expelled from Bianjing before, and they have lost a lot of power, this time they come back, they will definitely not be able to fight Zhao Er on the bright side, plus there are Cao Bin faction, Shen Yilun faction and the new Wang Chen faction, there are a total of four forces to face, in fact, Cao Bin and Shen Yilun are not bad, these two are the former emperor's cronies, I believe that after Zhao Defang is really in power, he will seal some false, what Taishi Taifu and the like, and then take the real power back.

Therefore, the two forces that Zhao Pu most directly has to face are Wang Chen and Zhao Guangyi.

He's a clever man.

Immediately analyzed, it is expected that the three-legged stand is better than to take refuge in Wang Chen, after all, Zhao Er was defeated in inheriting the throne, and Wang Chen is now in charge of the world's military power, if he can successfully take refuge, Zhao Pu believes that he, the prime minister, can continue to be the prime minister until the day he dies.

The question is, Wang Chen is in charge of the front division of the palace, the guards and the army, and then he will be in charge of the Privy Council, the power is already unprecedentedly huge, and it is only a matter of time before he wants the rights of the Zhongshu Sect, will he accept his Zhao Pu's surrender for no reason?

If it were at other times, Zhao Pu might think so, but this time, he has enough confidence, after all, he can come back and become the prime minister again, it was all recommended by Wang Chen.

What happens once the two join forces?

Zhao Pu can imagine that situation, it can be said that half of the power of the entire court has been captured in their hands, and when the emperor's order is over, Zhao Guangyi's oppression? Hey, what is that.

To be precise, if the two join forces, as long as Wang Chen and Zhao Pu don't nod, others won't be able to do anything.

Naturally, Zhao Pu showed enough sincerity as soon as he came up.

"Oh, by the way, I brought you some Heyang's specialties. ”

"Thank you Zhao Xiang, I'll take a look at what's special...... Is Heyang's specialty a golden melon seed?"

"Hehe, Brother Chen, this is a specialty of Heyang, it is clearly a bottle of golden melon seeds given to Zhao Xiang by King Wu Yue, each one is vivid and valuable. ”

"It's too precious for me to take it. ”

"How can a gentleman's friendship care about the value of mundane things? ”

"Oh well. ”

Zhao Pu has been holding Wang Chen here, and he also gave some rare things, such as the melon seeds made of gold just mentioned, and a bronze sacred tree that is said to be obtained from Shuzhong.

When people brought this three-meter-high bronze sacred tree in, Wang Chen was stunned, this bronze divine tree was very similar to the bronze divine tree in the Sanxingdui Museum that he had seen on the Internet before, and he hurriedly asked: "Zhao Xiang, where did you get this thing from Sichuan and Shu?"

Zhao Pu saw that Wang Chen was interested, so he said: "This thing was obtained by accident in Xichuan Road and Luo County. ”

Wang Chen asked again, "Do you know the specific place?"

"Vaguely a point. Zhao Pudao.

Wang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, this is Sanxingdui civilization, the most important thing is a thousand years ago, presumably the things in it are more complete than modern society, the reason why he asked the specific place is because modern society has passed more than a thousand years, I don't know if the terrain has changed.

Why does he value Sanxingdui?

The Sanxingdui site excavated a large number of bronze masks and human figures with "high noses and deep eyes, prominent cheeks, wide mouths and big ears, and piercings on the ears" do not look like Chinese or earthlings at all, but they are very similar to aliens imagined by humans.

Some experts even believe that the Sanxingdui civilization may be a "hybrid civilization" between humans and aliens. ”

If it is, it's incredible.

Wang Chen naturally attaches great importance to it, with the current technology of the Northern Song Dynasty, it may not be possible to study it, but if it is protected, maybe there will be a chance to study it in the future?

After chatting about it, everyone chatted for a while.

……

In the evening, it's time for dinner.

In the past, Wang Jien's house implemented a separate meal system, and since Wang Chen came, a joint meal system has been implemented.

in the house.

Zhao Pu first praised Liu Qihong, and then said that the chef in Wang Jien's mansion cooked delicious and something like that, and finally changed his words and said, "Palace Shuai, I have something to ask for." ”

He was nervous when he said this.

Wang Chen ate the food and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Pu said roundaboutly: "My second son Chengxu is twenty this year and has just been crowned, and I want him to join the ranks." He put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "Originally, I wanted him to come to the door of Zhongshu, but then I thought about it a little inappropriate, and I was afraid of leaving someone to talk to him, so I wanted to ask the marshal of the lower palace, can you let the dog go to your palace to do a case or open a division." This was actually obvious, he pressed his son to Wang Chen's side as a hostage, and leaned over with all his heart.

Wang Chen was stunned, "Is this true?"

Zhao Pu said: "Seriously, I beg the palace marshal to help me a lot, and I will definitely take your head in the future." ”

When Wang Jien heard this, he glanced at Wang Chen again and again.

Zhao Pu also looked very nervous, whether he could keep this head quite stable depends on Wang Chen's next answer.

Wang Chen didn't speak, and took a sip of wine.

Wang Jien was a little anxious, and took the initiative to help ask, "Brother Chen, what do you think?"

Wang Chen smiled and said, "Okay." ”

Since Zhao Pu is willing to take refuge in his side, why don't he agree? Originally, Wang Chen was only in charge of the military power in the world, and there was no way to interfere in the financial aspect, and again, many of the troops were Zhao Guangyi's old departments, in fact, Wang Chen had not yet fully controlled it, and now Zhao Pu, who is in charge of political affairs, wants to follow him to eat and drink spicy food, Wang Chen has no reason not to agree, if Zhao Pu is really as obedient as he just said, it will be much more convenient for him to install his own people in the future!

As for the financial aspect?

In fact, Wang Chen was not so anxious.

If there is a shortage of money in the army and the middle school, and the third division is stumbling, he is not in a hurry at all, he has a way to get money.

When Zhao Pu heard Wang Chen say yes, the whole person suddenly became excited, "Then let's just say it?"

"Well, let Ling Lang come directly to the front of the palace tomorrow, in addition, Zhao Xiang, please stay after dinner, I will discuss something with you." Wang Chen said.

It's done?

Really becoming??

Zhao Pu was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that he would be as stable as Mount Tai in the future, "Thank you for the palace marshal." Then he looked sideways at Wang Jien, "Brother Wang, you are blessed." ”

Wang Jien said with a smile: "Isn't it, who in the world doesn't know that I am blessed with such an incense as Brother Chen." ”

After the meal, Zhao Pu stayed and discussed with Wang Chen until late before leaving.

……

Zhao Mansion.

It's the middle of the night.

As soon as Zhao Pu returned to the mansion, he immediately called his staff and his two sons over.

A group of people sat in the study.

"Daddy, is there anything important that you woke me up from bed so late?" asked Zhao Chengxu.

Zhao Puhaha laughed and said, "Second brother, you are developed!"

Zhao Chengxu was puzzled, "What is developed?"

"Daddy, I've contacted the front of the palace to check it. Zhao Pu's happy face was as red as if he had drunk two taels of wine, "Starting tomorrow, you will go to work in the front of the palace and follow the palace marshal, you know?"

Zhao Chengxu was taken aback, "You mean the newly promoted palace marshal who leans towards the government and the opposition?"

Zhao Pu said: "Otherwise, which palace marshal is there?"

"He asked me to go to work in the front of the palace?" Zhao Chengxu asked.

Zhao Pu smiled and said: "Yes, actually, you are on leave to work, the main reason is that our Zhao family is completely tied to this palace marshal, and no one can help me remove the prime minister in the future!

His eldest son Zhao Chengzong patted his thigh and said, "Great! I said Daddy, you didn't enter the house as soon as you came back today, I don't know where you went, it turned out that you were looking for the palace marshal! Daddy, you have done this with great foresight! The palace marshal is only in his twenties now, at least it can ensure the glory of our Zhao family for 50 years! Good! Good! Good!" Before Zhao Pu was expelled from Bianjing, the entire Zhao Mansion was desperate, but I didn't expect the new emperor to take the throne after a peak, Wang Chen took the initiative to recommend Zhao Pu to return to Beijing as the prime minister, and now, ah, and strong alliances, how can you not be excited?

One is in power, the other is in charge of the military, the two are combined, who will dare to compete with them in the future?

The staff were also overjoyed.

"Developed!"

"Sure enough, just like the owner said, we are developed!"

"Haha, this is the palace marshal who is in charge of the world's military power! Not only is he in charge of the palace front division, but also the guards and the Privy Council, and the martial envoy is the father of the palace marshal, even the king of Jin doesn't dare to argue with us, right?"

……

The next day.

Another court meeting was held, and the main Zhao Pu returned.

Wang Chen and Zhao Pu joined forces, and as soon as the court meeting began, they attacked Zhao Guangyi's forces, and even transferred Pan Mei, the largest force in Zhao Guangyi's army, to attack Taiyuan with Cao Bin.

For a while, the entire court was shocked!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wang Chen's power has swelled unprecedentedly to the point that no one can stop it, even Zhao Guangyi can only temporarily avoid the edge, everyone knows that the era of Wang Chen's rule has come!
