The remnant sun is like blood, the afterglow is sprinkled in the courtyard, a piece of gold, strange flowers and plants, competing for beauty, willows and willows, the breeze is coming, full of tranquility before dusk.

"Floating hatred and entertainment are less, and willing to love the daughter smiled lightly. Persuade the sun to hold wine for the king, and leave the evening light among the flowers. ”

Zhao Huan sat among the flowers and plants, muttering to himself, and the afterglow sprinkled on him, as if he was one with him.

"Lady, Wang Song once told me that he was handsome and had no time to study, so every dusk, he would run alone to a place where no one was, read with the help of the sunset, and called himself "the thief of dusk". Now that I think about it, I think he was sincere and ridiculous, I ...... I still miss him!"

Zhao Huan smiled lightly. Zhu Lian felt that her husband was much more open-minded. Bidding farewell to all the chores in the court, the husband was obviously relaxed.

Although his behavior is restricted, his husband is the biological son of the Great Song Dynasty's official family, and Zhao Chen is his imperial grandson, so Zhao Ji will naturally not kill the killer and defile his feathers, and the safety of the family can also be guaranteed.

"Official, Wang Song is dead, don't be sad anymore. When we arrived in Jiangnan, we planted flowers, raised birds, and a family of four was happy and happy, so we didn't think about those court things anymore. ”

If it weren't for the southward migration of the imperial court, the conversation between the two might be more calm. Although he is no longer the lord of a country, the Jin people went south, the imperial court moved south, and the land was ceded and reparated, which inevitably made Zhao Huan feel related.

Da Song, how did it become today's scene?

The tea was fragrant, and Zhao Huan drank it in his mouth, only bitter, without any lingering fragrance.

"I didn't expect Wang Song to die, and the Great Song Dynasty reached such a realm! Now that you have to abandon your family and business, the mountains and rivers are broken, which is really embarrassing! ”

Zhu Lian saw that her husband's face was worried, her brows furrowed, and she remembered the rumors outside.

"Official, I heard the eunuchs in the palace say that Hedong was under the control of Zhang Jun, and he was ordered to withdraw his troops from Taiyuan, and only brought out 3,000 men. The 30,000 loyal soldiers in the city were unwilling to evacuate. The Song and Jin sides had a big battle outside the city of Taiyuan, and both sides lost six or seven thousand people, and the Jin people had no choice but to withdraw their troops to Yanmen Pass. Isn't that a happy event, you say?"

Sure enough, Zhao Huan's face was flushed, and the whole person became excited.

"The Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army is really a loyal and righteous man, and they are all the tiger and wolf divisions founded by Wang Song. If the Jin people want to seize the great rivers and mountains of my Great Song Dynasty, I'm afraid it won't be so easy!"

After being happy for a moment, Zhao Huan's expression dimmed again.

"If Wang Song is still here, how can the Jin people go south, why should the imperial court move south, and how can the Great Song Dynasty be so embarrassed that it has become a joke of all the people in the world!"

Zhu Lian shook her head, her husband was so emotional, and it was not because of Wang Song's death.

"Wang Song died in battle, in fact, it has little to do with officials, and officials don't have to blame themselves too much. Zhang Shuye, Qin Hui and others were so bold that they dared to detain the troops. You can ask for a broom to cherish yourself, and you don't miss Wang Song's reinforcements for thousands of miles at all. Therefore, Wang Song's death was due to the hearts of the people, not to the decision-making of officials. ”

Zhao Huan nodded slightly, then frowned, and said angrily: "It's all because I have soft ears, and I have listened to the words of Geng Nanzhong, an old thief." If he hadn't strongly recommended Qin Hui and Zhang Jun, I, how could I be so confused......"

Zhu Lian was also speechless. Geng Nanzhong was jealous of Qin Duchu, and most of the things in the court were bad for this person.

Zhao Huan frowned, picked up the tea, and drank it all.

"Once the imperial court moves south, it is probably wishful thinking to come back. The Great Song Dynasty has been established for more than 170 years, and now it is going to lose half of the wall, the descendants of the Zhao family, what face do they have to meet Taizu Taizong!"

The words of the husband and wife became Zhao Huan's complaints. Zhu Lian knew that her husband was depressed, so she just listened from the sidelines and occasionally said a few words of persuasion.

Zhao Chen came out of the house and saw that his parents frowned, and his father's tea was already cold, but he still didn't realize it, and hurriedly stepped forward and snatched his father's teacup.

"Father, you have to take care of your body, don't lose your fighting spirit!"

Zhu Lian stood up and picked up the teacup and teapot.

"Official, I'll go to the hot pot of tea, and you and the eldest brother will talk. He has been outside for half a year, and his experience is not small. ”

The father and son sat down face to face, looking at their childish son, Zhao Huan cheered up.

"Chen'er, you have been training outside for more than half a year, and you have benefited a lot. In the future, you must be decisive and don't be swayed by others. Do you know what Daddy means?"

Zhao Chen nodded and said loudly:

"The child knows what Daddy means. Dad sent the child to Hedong, the child and Judge Zhang discussed properly, and was ready to send troops to reinforce Wang Xianggong, who knew that the three passes of Shiling were lost. The child has always suspected that someone is making a hindrance, and they did this in order to prevent the child from sending troops and go to reinforce Wang Song. These people are all traitors of the imperial court, and they are all the ones who have harmed the prince and father!"

Zhao Huan was shocked, and sure enough, there was something inside.

He thought for a moment, and finally shook his head, and said gloomily: "In the final analysis, it was my father who didn't know anyone, so there was something later. Dad regrets it! ”

Zhao Chen shook his head and said loudly:

"Daddy, it's not your fault, it's the disadvantage of the Great Song Dynasty's ancestral system. With the civil system of martial arts, the scholar family is dominant, and he usually talks about his heart and mind, and he is useless as a scholar. Rely on them to fight with Fanzi, it's strange if you don't lose!"

Zhao Huan was startled at first, and then nodded slightly.

It seems that my son has been training in the army for more than half a year, and he has really gained a lot. However, the shortcomings of the Great Song Dynasty over the past hundred years will not be so easy to solve!

"Chen'er, then tell me, if you want you to govern the Great Song Dynasty, where should you start?"

Zhu Lian came out with hot tea and a plate of pastries.

"Daddy, in a child's opinion, there are basically two points. In terms of military and political affairs, the treatment of soldiers was improved, mainly in status, and the martial spirit was advocated in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. Second, it is necessary to curb mergers and acquisitions, severely punish corruption and bribery, and govern officials in a clean and honest manner, and at the same time, to provide a more relaxed environment for businessmen and all industries. ”

Zhao Chen talked eloquently, and Zhao Huan and his wife glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but be surprised.

A more relaxed environment requires public order and stability, and the officials of the yamen are dedicated to serving the people, and more importantly, the revision of the law is needed to protect the interests of the people.

It's just that in this way, doesn't it offend thousands of incumbent officials, especially those scholars, once the finger is pointed at them, wouldn't it violate the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty, and who will work for the imperial court?

"Chen'er, where did you learn this?"

"Erchen cares about current affairs and often reads newspapers, which used to be "Warning Bell", and now "China Daily". The children have seen it very beneficial and feel that they have gained a lot. ”

It is also a newspaper, "Warning Bell" is the distinction of Huayi, the Spring and Autumn Period, the country and the nation, and the "China Daily" is about the people's livelihood, acupuncture the current evils, and analysis of maladministration, which has become a must-read classic for young scholars.

It's just that this newspaper is so cynical and points to the evils of the times, for the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?

"You mean, the princess and the colt did not have sex together, and the princess lived alone all along?"

In the Rui Si Palace, Zhao Ji's face was pale, staring at the guards in front of him, and the cold color in his eyes was extremely cold.

Since the peace talks were concluded, he has been busy with the relocation of the various classes in Tokyo City, and there are so many things to relocate in the Imperial Palace, the two prefectures, the ministries, and the divisions, even if the palace guards are mobilized to help, they are still very busy.

The relocation of a country is not a simple and easy matter. In the face of this kind of anxious chaos, who knew that such a thing happened.

Huang Yi went in and out of the Qinglou wine shop, wandering into the wreckage, and it was already rumored in the middle of the court. The royal family was disgraced, and Zhao Ji, an official who originally wanted to teach his son-in-law a lesson, got such a shocking discovery after some investigation.

Her daughter, Princess Zhao Duofu, has been living alone since she got married.

At the beginning, in order to cut off the relationship between Zhao Duofu and Wang Song and crack down on Wang Song's party, the scholars and doctors tried their best to finally instigate Zhao Huan to marry Zhao Duofu, who was already "overage".

And the driving force behind this, in addition to the scholars, there is also the thrust behind the royal family headed by Zhao Ji and attached by Zhao Gou, Zhao Kai and others as accomplices.

The wish has already been fulfilled, but the consequence is that it has become a scandal for the royal family, and the people laugh after dinner. The people all say that there is the Qinglou Son of Heaven first, and then there is the Qinglou horse, and the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty is really a holy place for wine bags and rice bags, hiding dirt and dirt.

"This shameless prodigal. The face of my Great Song royal family, but he lost it!"

Zhao Ji stood up and walked slowly a few steps in the pavilion, staring at the Qifeng flowers and trees in the distance, as if thinking.

This Gen Yue was built by him after years of painstaking efforts and countless manpower and material resources. In the first year of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers besieged the city, and Genyue was difficult to return to its old appearance, and the prosperity seemed to be gone forever.

"Is Huang Qianshan still in Zhaozhou?"

On the day of Zhao Huan's birthday, Huang Qianshan did not come to the capital, and after attending the wedding of his son Huang Zhen, he went to Zhaozhou to serve as the governor.

Sure enough, the chamberlain replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, Huang Qianshan is in Zhaozhou." Now it is surrounded by golden soldiers, and the situation is quite critical. ”

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "The officials who sent envoys to Hedong and Hebei, is there any news?"

The chamberlain was hesitant and speechless.

Zhao Ji frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter, so spitting and spitting, come quickly!"

Nei panicked, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy who visited Hedong came to report that Zhang Jun, the deputy envoy of Hedong Xuanfu, only brought 3,000 soldiers and horses back to Beijing. The remaining Song army in Taiyuan City fought a big battle with Wanyan Zonghan, and both sides lost five or six thousand people. ”

"Let him go. And what about Hebei? ”

Zhao Ji's face flushed. In any case, the casualties of the Jin people will bring him a trace of pleasure.

"The envoy of the imperial court arrived in Hebei, and as soon as he crossed the Yellow River, he was detained in Kaide Mansion, and a military report came early this morning, saying that the envoy of the imperial court was beheaded by the rebel army, and Hebei's edict was gone."

Zhao Ji pondered for a while, and said softly: "Declare the decree, let Huang Chen, the commander of the horses, be the envoy of the land cution, and go to Hebei to declare the decree and discuss the land cution, and there must be no mistakes."

The chamberlain quickly stood up and responded.

Everyone walked away, and only himself and his confidant Cao Xun were left in the cabinet.

"Cao Xun, the imperial court is about to move south, and I want to make a prince before moving south, do you think that prince is worthy of this position?"

Cao Xun was taken aback, although the official family was asking for advice, he actually already knew it in his heart, that is, the third son, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun.

However, in Cao Xun's view, in addition to the good writing of the article, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, has great ambitions and talents, and has no talent for governing the country. King Kang Zhao Gou is a good candidate, but he is too gloomy and the city is too deep. The fifth son, Zhao Shu, was more obsessed with calligraphy and painting than national politics, and was too simple to be the king of a country.

The other princes are still young, and their talents are generally mediocre, so they can't see why.

However, although he thought so in his heart, Cao Xun did not dare to show it on the surface.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yun is very talented, and he can act as the crown prince first, assist His Majesty, and manage the country's affairs together. Your Majesty is in full bloom, so you can observe him for a few more days. If there is no loss in virtue, you can be established as the prince and inherit the unification. ”

Sure enough, it was a confidant and courtier, and he could be said to have noticed the subtleties of Zhao Ji's thoughts.

"Cao Xun, you really know my heart very well."

Zhao Ji nodded lightly, and said with a loud smile: "King Yun, like me, I will move south in the next few days, let him handle all the chores of the court on my behalf, and have a good experience."

Although Zhao Ji's voice was not loud, the attendant hiding behind the rockery could hear it clearly. He lightly left Genyue and headed for the palace gate.
