In China's feudal history, the Daming Palace in Chang'an and the Forbidden City in Beijing are definitely the world's pinnacle palaces, and no one can match them in the comparison of the world of the same era.

The Daqing Palace in Bianjing may not be as grand as the Daming Palace and the Forbidden City in scale, but its magnificence is far greater than that of the Daming Palace, because the economic capacity of the Song Dynasty is incomparable to that of other dynasties.

What Duan Silian is seeing now is the effect after three generations of unremitting efforts, and with the support of strong economic ability, the grandeur of Daqing Hall once again subverted Duan Silian's perception of money.

The old-eyed and dizzy Liang Shi was paying attention to Duan Silian's reaction all the way, and after seeing the surprise in his eyes, the pride in Liang Shi's heart also became natural, and today he wanted Duan Silian to see the bearing and grandeur of a big country.

Lu Zifei has seen the Forbidden City, and he has also seen the Daming Palace located in Xi'an in the 21st century, so the Daqing Palace seems ordinary in his eyes, not just a group of ancient buildings, what he wants to see is the meeting between Zhao Zhen and Duan Silian today.

Today is a state banquet, civil and military officials, royal relatives, and those who have not been out for a long time need to participate in this banquet, Queen Cao also came with her son, but Zhao Xin's interest was not very high.

"Queen Mother, isn't Jun Xiang's father very powerful! I heard people in the palace say that he was an invincible general. ”

Queen Cao is in charge of the affairs of the harem, and her mother is the world, if she can't see her son's careful thoughts, then he won't live in vain.

"Lu Hou is very powerful, haven't you been clamoring to see him? You'll see it later. ”

Zhao Xin said again: "Then Lu Hou is back, is Jun Xiang going home?" ”

Queen Cao thought to herself that there are a lot of eyes in this little person, Jun Xiang grew up with her son, this kind of affection is almost more than her as a mother, although she has some taste in her heart, but she is still happy to see this scene, after all, her son also needs help in the future.

"Is it good for the queen mother to let Lu Hou be your teacher, he is the smartest person in the world."

"Okay! Okay! So I can play with Junxiang again. ”

Empress Cao shook her head, sure enough, she was still a child, and she just wanted to play, but she really couldn't blame him, after all, you can't expect a seven-year-old child to think far.

Duan Silian looked at the man in his uniform on the steps, as expected, he was Zhao Zhen! If Dali was still there, would Zhao Zhen not be so snub to himself, he was under the roof and had to bow his head.

He is the king of the fallen country, and Li Yu and Meng Chang are the same kind of people, and the difference from the first two is that they were captured by the Great Song Dynasty, and they surrendered on their own initiative, so they can face a little better.

He dragged his heavy steps onto the steps, and only when "Duan Envoy Jun" sounded in his ears did he raise his head, and Zhao Zhen in his eyes looked at him with a smile, this kind of gaze was very affinity, so that Duan Silian would not be too embarrassed.

"Duan Envoy Jun has arrived safely, I can finally rest assured, since I received the news, I have not lost the worry in my heart for a day."

Duan Silian lowered his head and said: "This is the sin of the subordinates, there are several generals and thousands of loyal and brave people on the road to protect it, and it is quite stable." ”

A few simple words have already set the priority, what is the envoy, is the person who is ordered to send an envoy, this is Zhao Zhen's definition of Duan Silian's identity and status, and Duan Silian calls himself a minister, which means that he admits that he is a minister and Zhao Zhen is a king.

Zhao Zhen was very satisfied with Duan Silian's knowledge, and he was also worried that Duan Silian would take his identity at today's banquet, a king of a dead country, in the enemy's capital, to be honest, it takes a lot of courage to live, if he has a dispute with his ministers today, it is not easy for him, the master, to blame either party.

Why is there today's banquet, because the imperial court decided to abandon the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners, there must be an opportunity to show the demeanor of a great country, this is the ultimate purpose of this banquet, and it is also Zhao Zhen to show his merits to his ancestors and the people of the world.

When Lu Zifei came into contact with Zhao Zhen's gaze, Lu Zifei felt that the two of them were like old friends who had not been seen for a long time, while Zhao Zhen was the same child as he was at the beginning, and he had not changed at all.

At a banquet, every bite of food Duan Silian eats is like chewing wax, no matter how delicious the food is treated as a monkey, no one will feel uncomfortable, he is thinking about how high a person stands, how painful it is to fall, when the emperor loses everything, he is really not as good as an ordinary person.

After Zhao Zhen's vanity was satisfied, his expectations for Duan Silian were not so high, maybe he just wanted to see the moment the two of them met, the feeling of looking down on an emperor and being condescending.

Duan Silian was sent to a mansion in the city after the banquet, and this ending was the same as he imagined on the road, and he was lucky enough to be imprisoned in this bustling metropolis for the rest of his life.

If you are unlucky, you will be the same as Li Yu, and you will see the king of Hades with a glass of poisonous wine, it all depends on Zhao Zhen's attitude, and it is so sad to live with a snort.

After the end of the song, it was a mess, Di Qing was very excited in this process, he didn't even eat, the wine was poured down one after another, Yu Jing's performance was much better, he should eat and drink, because he knew that this was the case today, and there would be no other changes.

The most calm was Lu Zifei, because he found that today's dish was copied from his own recipe, and he wondered if Zhao Zhen was doing this to take care of his stomach.

Di Qing, a military general, looked at Lu Zifei with disdain for a while, he was a martial artist at least better than Lu Zifei, a literati, but his heart was sour, he couldn't be so unscrupulous as Lu Zifei, and he was probably the only one in the audience who dared to do this.

After seeing the history of the Great Song Dynasty, everyone left satisfied, but Shi Zhicong only left Lu Zifei, and Di Qing knew that even if he destroyed the Liao State, he would not be as good as Lu Zifei's status in the emperor's mind.

"Seeing that you are eating so happily at the banquet, I can't bear to disturb you, what, it is to vent all my dissatisfaction on the food, turning grief and anger into appetite."

This kind of ridicule between monarchs and ministers can only happen between Zhao Zhen and Lu Zifei, that is, the historians were sent away by Zhao Zhen, and it is obvious that this secret conversation is going to be a long talk.

Zhao Xin outside the door was lying on the door frame and secretly observed Lu Zifei, but was scared away by Lu Zifei's grimace when he turned his head, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but smile when he saw this and said: "You have bullied him so much since you were a child, don't come back to bully you when he grows up." ”

Lu Zifei looked at the child who came to this world because of himself, time is so fast! is as tall as his thighs, and a good education and healthy diet make Zhao Xin obviously grow up better than ordinary children.

"The emperor is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, King Yong wants to bully me, then he really has to wait until the pro-government, at that time, maybe the minister has retired and gone home to retire, no matter how angry he is, the anger will disappear for the sake of the minister's age."

Zhao Zhen laughed and scolded when he heard the negativity in his words: "I'm still playing this game with me, I want to hear what you have to say, what will Dali become, you know how much benefit it may not bring to Da Song in a short period of time." ”

Dali is a foregone conclusion, and it is inevitable to invest a part in management and material resources, Zhao Zhen's worry Lu Zifei understands that the kind of place where the emperor is far away may not be able to show the prestige of the Han family and the royal sky, and he can't harvest the superficial things, let alone the actual ones.

Lu Zifei said: "The minister feels that in the long run, Dali's belonging to our dynasty is a great thing for the benefit of future generations, some people may say in front of the emperor that Dali is a burden, the geography is too far, and there is no special production, which is a confirmation of Yang Xiu's sentence 'There is no meat to eat, and there is a taste to abandon it', but they never thought about future generations." ”

Zhao Zhen was quite satisfied with this answer, Lu Zifei did not explain this matter to him from an economic point of view this time, which proved that his starting point in this matter was not only because of money and himself, but also because of the court, the country, and the people.

"Let's see the follow-up! Overall, it's a good sign, it's been a hard two years for you. ”

At this time, you must answer "It is the duty of a courtier to share worries and solve problems for His Majesty"

Although Zhao Zhen said: "Your raw tone makes me very sad", the smile on his face showed that he was very useful to Lu Zifei's words.

"It's because you still have anger in your heart, just say it when you are angry, a young man should not always act like he is seventy or eighty years old, am I the kind of person who wrongs his courtiers?"

Lu Zifei was amused by Zhao Zhen's words, you are not that kind of person, do you think anyone will believe it when you say it? I may really understand you if you explain the situation frankly, but doing so now will only make me feel that you, the emperor, are very hypocritical.

"The minister has no grievances, the emperor's trust and support for the minister in the two years he was away is something that others do not have, compared to the grievances that the minister suffered, the pressure on the emperor is afraid that the minister is countless times greater."

Zhao Zhen said with relief: "Your understanding is the best reward for me, and there is one more thing I want to tell you, I am ready to give your father a marquis for your contribution this time, do you think it's okay?" ”

A double marquis, a duke at his age is indeed a bit excessive, the emperor means to give a marquis, not a hereditary heirloom, he has a title, then the ultimate beneficiary of the marquis of his father will be his younger brother, which sounds like it is not bad.

"Marquis, I'm afraid the merit of the minister is not enough."

Zhao Zhen smiled: "A marquis queen still feels worthless for you?" Since you have no opinion, then the court in five days will bring your father to the court to listen to the seal. ”

Lu Zifei touched his ears and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, you see that the minister had two more children when he was in Guangzhou, even if the son is forgotten, can you give my two daughters a title." ”

Zhao Zhen didn't understand what Lu Zifei meant, that is, it was the first time that Shi Zhicong on the side had seen someone ask for a knighthood from the emperor so openly, and what was even more excessive was that he didn't ask for his son, but asked for his daughter.
