"You still ask me something, I want to ask you what you grew up eating, and you didn't even notice when someone came!" Zhao Xu was wearing white pajamas, stepped out of bed and stood with his hands in his hands, someone had already lit the oil lamp, and he could see that his face was ugly. Pen? Interesting?

"If you don't check your humble duties, ask the emperor to atone for your sins." Yue Yunwu and the others knelt down together, and they were secretly shocked by the high level of martial arts in their hearts, and no one noticed it.

Zhao Xu's face was gloomy, and he wanted to bring these people up to be cut, but he knew very well in his heart that it was not that **** and Agui were not good, but that the martial arts of the comers were too high. Once the martial arts reach the peak level, it is by no means something that can be solved by increasing the number of garrisons, even if 10,000 forbidden troops are sent to completely envelop the Funing Palace, Ji Yang has a way to come in.

The top master can only be suppressed by the top master, the problem is that Zhao Xu didn't expect that Ji Yang's kung fu would reach such a state that Yue Yunwu and Ah Gui would not be aware of it. In this way, it is useless to cut off their heads, and if the martial arts are not enough, it is not enough, after all, cultivation is not an overnight thing.

After gradually calming down, Zhao Xu said: "You guys get up first, immediately send someone to fix the roof for me, don't spread this matter." ”

Yue Yunwu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately arranged for people to repair the roof, in fact, there was no need to repair it, just put the tiles uncovered by Ji Yang back on. Because Ji Yang had already left, Zhao Xu ordered the guards to return to their posts after ordering secrecy, leaving only Yue Yunwu and A Gui.

"Your Majesty, who is the master?" Yue Yunwu asked.

"Ji Yang." Zhao Xu sat down and drank a cup of tea.

"It's him, his martial arts are so high?" Yue Yunwu and Ah Gui were both a little incredulous, because Ji Yang's kung fu to restrain his aura was profound, so when they were in Western Xia before, the two of them didn't see Ji Yang's details.

And even if Ji Yang is a top master, in their opinion, it is impossible to escape their perception.

"I didn't expect this person to come to me without you noticing. If Ji Yang had the slightest ill intentions, I would have been in a different place just now, and this person would be really terrifying. Zhao Xu had palpitations, although Ji Yang's attitude was polite, he had serious worries about the defense of the dormitory. Since Ji Yang can walk in quietly, will there be other people who can do it, what if someone assassinates him?

"Do you want me to issue a wanted warrant immediately and arrest this person?" Yue Yunwu asked.

"No, I'll summon him to the palace tomorrow morning." Zhao Xu said, in addition to worrying, he was very curious about Ji Yang's so-called safety of the Great Song. And **** and Agui were stunned, broke in late at night, and wanted to summon him into the palace, what is the situation?

Zhao Xu guessed their doubts, but did not explain, but asked them to tell the palace guards to let Ji Yang enter the palace tomorrow. Although he was frightened by Ji Yang's sudden arrival and had no face, after calming down, Zhao Xu was still relatively friendly to Ji Yang.

However, whether he can restore his previous friendship depends on whether Ji Yang's explanation tomorrow can satisfy him.

Early the next morning, Ji Yang came to the palace after dressing up properly, and the guards had already been ordered to let him into the palace. When we met again, we were still in Funing Hall, but the specific location was changed to Zhao Xu's study.

Zhao Xu was wearing a dragon robe embroidered with a golden dragon, and his temperament was more noble than that of "Zhao Gongzi", and his indifferent face and eyes could not see emotions. Ji Yang did not kneel, but arched his hand with the etiquette of the rivers and lakes and said: "In Xia Jiyang, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Ji Yang, when you see His Majesty the Emperor, you still don't kneel and salute!" Ah Gui was dressed in eunuch costume, and his voice was relatively dark.

"It's okay, Master Ji is also my friend, there is no need for us to make this big gift when we meet in private." Zhao Xu waved his hand, looked at Ji Yang and said, "Master Ji, last night you said that it was a matter of the safety of the Great Song Dynasty, now you can tell me." ”

Ji Yang didn't speak, but looked at Ah Gui.

Zhao Xu understood what he meant, and said, "Agui, you go out and wait for the time being, I have something important to talk to Master Ji." ”

Ah Gui hesitated a little and said, "Your Majesty, he ......"

Zhao Xu smiled indifferently and said: "Master Ji's martial arts are unfathomable, if there is really any bad intentions, how can I stand here and speak." ”

Ah Gui then exited the study and closed the door.

Ji Yang heard that Zhao Xu lost face last night, and he was somewhat displeased, so he smiled slightly and said: "Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, and I hope the emperor will be magnanimous, don't blame me for coming uninvited yesterday." ”

"It depends on what you're up to." Zhao Xu said.

"Let me ask, is the Empress Dowager terminally ill?" Ji Yang asked.

"You even know this, it seems that I really underestimated you." Zhao Xu's heart became nervous again, and he was still calm and calm on the surface. The matter of Empress Dowager Gao's terminal illness is temporarily kept secret, and not many people know about it, and Zhao Xu suspects that Ji Yang has something to do with a certain minister.

"Let me ask you again, does the emperor want to implement the new policy of the first emperor after the death of the empress dowager?" Ji Yang asked again.

"Yes, I do intend to implement a new policy." Zhao Xu replied, this is not a big secret, even the King of Liao can judge from Zhao Xu's disparaging of Su Zhe that he wants to implement the new policy, which shows that there are many people who know that he volunteered.

"The crux of the matter lies here, has the emperor ever heard a sentence that doing the right thing at the wrong time often fails to succeed." Ji Yang began to euphemistically persuade Zhao Xu to give up the implementation of the new policy, because the environment of the Northern Song Dynasty was not suitable at this time.

"Doing the right thing at the wrong time, you mean it's right to implement the New Deal, but the timing is wrong?" Zhao Xu's reaction was quick.

Zhao Xu was a very smart and courageous young emperor, he was only nine years old when he ascended the throne, and the Empress Dowager Gao listened to the government. One day Zhao Xu was going to meet with the envoy of the Liao State, and Cai Zhizheng was worried that Zhao Xu was young and would be afraid to see the fierce appearance and strange costumes of the Khitans.

Cai Zhizheng explained to Zhao Xu the appearance, clothing, and behavior habits of the Khitan people a day in advance, and asked him not to be surprised. After speaking dozens of times in a row, Zhao Xu remained silent until Cai Zhizheng stopped speaking, and Zhao Xu suddenly asked seriously: "Is the Khitan envoy a human?" ”

Cai Zhizheng replied: "Of course it is a human. ”

Zhao Xu said: "Since he is a human, how can I be afraid of him? ”

Cai Zhizheng didn't expect Zhao Xu, who was only nine years old, to have such an opinion, and hurriedly retreated in panic.

"The wrong time, the right thing ......" Zhao Xu couldn't help but ponder.

"Yes, at this time, the new party and the old party are fighting fiercely, and if the emperor is bent on implementing the new policy, it will definitely cause a great backlash. When the first emperor implemented the new policy, he did not have the idea of unifying the hundred officials, which led to endless strife and the people were struggling to make a living. Ji Yang said.

"As long as the Empress Dowager goes, the old party has nothing to worry about." Speaking of this, Zhao Xu didn't hide it anymore. His biological mother was not Empress Dowager Gao, but Concubine Zhu De, who was very harsh on Concubine Zhu De, which had long caused Zhao Xu's resentment.

The reason why Zhao Xu failed to change the law has a lot to do with his childhood experience. Because he was manipulated by the Empress Dowager Gao for a long time and ignored by the ministers, Zhao Xu was very dissatisfied, so he was in a hurry to prove himself after coming to power.

"With the emperor's extraordinary wisdom, it is a matter of time before the ministers are unified, but at least not yet. How about suggesting that the emperor first unify the ministers and stabilize the throne before implementing a new policy? Ji Yang praised him first, after all, Zhao Xu was only eighteen years old, and he was easily affected by emotions.

"I haven't done anything yet, you came to persuade me, what is your purpose?" Zhao Xu asked rhetorically, he couldn't believe that Ji Yang had so much information, and he was just trying to persuade himself.

"I just don't want the Great Song Dynasty to fall into a crisis, if the emperor implements a new policy at this time, it will not only cause internal troubles, but also external troubles. The former prime minister Sima Guang ceded Ningxia, Gansu and other places to the Western Xia, which greatly increased the strength of the Western Xia Kingdom, and offended Jinqi, and never wanted to erode the land of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Ji Yang continued: "There is also Yelu Hongji, the king of Liao, who yearns for the cultural life of the Great Song Dynasty very much, and is ambitious. If the new policy is implemented at this time, under the internal and external troubles, the Western Xia of the Liao Kingdom will not let go of this opportunity. ”

There were many prime ministers in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Sima Guang was relatively short-lived, and he hung up soon after becoming the prime minister. Sima Guang was essentially a gentle, humble, upright person, and the official who was most opposed to the new law.

Of course, opposing the new law does not mean that it is wrong, because in the period of the first emperor, that is, the Song Shenzong, it was indeed not suitable to promote the new law. At this time, Song Zhezong, that is, Zhao Xu, was in power, and it was not yet time to promote the new law.

"Your Majesty, the promotion of the new law is a major change, if you succeed, you will go down in history, and if you fail, you will leave a stench for 10,000 years, you have to think twice." Ji Yang persuaded. (To be continued.) )
