Chapter 202: Fan Zhongyan

As a result, only on the second day, Zhao Zhi only stayed in Western Xia for one day, and on the second day, he returned to the Great Song Dynasty with 100,000 soldiers and horses, and temporarily handed over the Western Xia to Liu Yong and left 400,000 Great Song forbidden troops.

Tubo still needs to sit in the town, so Zhao Zhi led 200,000 soldiers and horses back, and Zhao Zhi also led 100,000 soldiers and horses as bodyguards back to the Great Song Dynasty.

Horseback riding? Although Zhao Zhi also learned to ride a horse, he was too tired, so he rode in a carriage, and as long as he kept hurrying, he could return to the capital city of Bianjing in the Great Song Dynasty within a day.

As for the war horses, the Great Song Dynasty of Western Xia also had its own horse farm, especially the 100,000 iron horsemen who had just defeated the Liao State, and the 100,000 iron horsemen were not only one person and one horse, but basically one person and two horses.

Therefore, the 100,000 cavalry that Zhao Zhi brought back was also 100,000 cavalry, and he was completely like the ground shaking the mountains, and he was not even afraid of the siege of the army.

Then the 100,000 army roared like a rolling torrent, and the middle guard was just a carriage, on which sat Zhao Zhi and Fan Zhongyan, who was driven to the northwest by the Queen Mother.

But obviously after a period of time, Fan Zhongyan also recognized his position, he was a subordinate official in front of Prime Minister Wang Yanqing, and he would also call himself a subordinate official in front of Zhao Zhi.

Zhao Zhi couldn't help but stir in his heart, his own time is coming, and all those who stand in his way will be crushed into powder by his own Great Song torrent.

Zhao Zhi: "Brother Fan, I should let you sit in Xiazhou, do you think Liu Yong can be optimistic about Xiazhou?" ”

Fan Zhongyan directly sweated slightly, and simply should be called Zhao Zhi's Fan brother, obviously Zhao Zhi is already in the upper position, and the governor of a state is appointed by the queen mother and the emperor at will, and no one dares to say anything.

What is the difference between such a great emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty?

Fan Zhongyan was slightly puzzled in his heart, but he would not say it directly, so he simply said seriously: "Although Brother Liu has no experience in managing the land of a state, Xia Prefecture has 400,000 elite forbidden troops in Xiazhou, and there will be no problems, which is enough to deter the Uighurs of Naxi Prefecture and the Liao State." ”

Zhao Zhi nodded: "That's right, the original Uighurs were pressed and beaten by Li Yuanhao, and now that I got rid of Li Yuanhao, I only escaped one and didn't hide it, and it was still a disaster after all."

But at this time, there is my forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty sitting in Xiazhou, and I have already instructed Liu Yong to recruit the soldiers and horses of Xiazhou on the spot. ”

Fan Zhongyan: "That's what the adults said. ”

Zhao Zhi is already standing at the end of the pyramid of the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no need to be modest.

Zhao Zhi: "I thought so too, there was really no one around at that time, but Liu Yong could still trust it, so he simply let him temporarily become the governor of Xiazhou, but he didn't care if he had no experience." Brother Fan, do you know why I brought you? ”

Fan Zhongyan immediately said respectfully: "The lower officials don't know. ”

Fan Zhongyan claimed to be a subordinate to himself, even if Zhao Zhi was unwilling to be modest, but he was still a little unaccustomed, of course, if he was not used to it, it would always become a habit, he was already holding the entire Great Song Dynasty, and no matter how modest he was, it was hypocrisy.

So Zhao Zhi simply acquiesced to Fan Zhongyan's subordinate and said, "It's exactly the question you're thinking about." ”

Fan Zhong was at a loss, the question he was thinking? What questions do you have on your mind?

So he simply wondered: "I don't know what the adults are talking about?" ”

Zhao Zhi deliberately smiled mysteriously: "The worries of the world are worried, and the joys of the world are happy." I think Brother Fan has already begun to worry about the world first, which is exactly the problem that Brother Fan usually worries about my Great Song. ”

Finally, Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but tremble his hands, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked to the point of disbelief, the problem he was worried about hadn't been told to anyone yet, how could Zhao Zhi know?

On the surface, he was also shocked and arched his hand: "What the lower officials are usually worried about is how should I clarify the rule of officials and enforce the rule of law in my Great Song Dynasty, how can my lord know what the lower officials are worried about?" ”

Since he is also deliberately tempting, is this Lord Zhao really so terrible? Do you even know what's on your mind?

However, I didn't want the words to fall, but Zhao Zhi really nodded, can I not know, the worries of the world are what you said, I not only know your reform of the law, but also know that you will be defeated, defeated, and ruined.

But when he opened his mouth, he said: "Just because I know that Brother Fan is a person who is really worried about the worries of the world, so I guessed what Brother Fan was thinking, it is the clarification of the rule of officials and the strict implementation of the rule of law, I am ready to support you to reform the law;

Originally, the reform you wanted was doomed to failure, and it would be a complete failure, and in the end, it would even be ruined, but now with my support, I think it should be successful. ”

In an instant, Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but be excited, and his heart trembled again and saluted respectfully: "If you can clarify the rule of officials for my Great Song Dynasty, the lower officials will not be afraid of being ruined, and please help the lower officials." ”

Zhao Zhi smiled: "Since I brought you with me, I will help you secretly." But you can say good first, you should be the bad guy, I should be the good guy, you are responsible for the firepower and dirty water of the Great Song Dynasty officials, and I will also follow them to shout and kill you.

Well, but what should be changed should continue to change, and what should be changed must continue to be changed, you can change the law and reform it, and when I go back, I will say something to the Queen Mother for you, and give you a political matter, you can think about how to change. ”

Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but be so excited that his body trembled slightly, with Fan Zhongyan's qualifications, he really couldn't resist.

The one who drove the carriage outside was Zhanzhao, and he couldn't help but be weird when he heard it.

This Lord Zhao is really different from others, let Fan Zhongyan change the law and reform, secretly support and help Fan Zhongyan, and scold Fan Zhongyan with hundreds of officials on the surface, but even if Fan Zhongyan is not punished, it is also where Fan Zhongyan can't help but be excited.

Really do things for the emperor and take the blame for the emperor, although Zhao Zhi is not the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but he is no different from the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

But I didn't want Fan Zhongyan to hear it, and after being excited in an instant, he couldn't help but sweat slightly: "My lord, Xiaguan only has some ideas for the time being, and he doesn't have a clear idea of where to start." ”

Obviously, Fan Zhongyan didn't know, but wanted to ask Zhao Zhi what he wanted to change?

Only by asking clearly can you change, otherwise if Zhao Zhi doesn't want to change, then you can't find it comfortable, Zhao Zhi is not a faint king, he always plays people to death silently.

Zhao Zhize's heart also moved, I know this, I really know how you Fan Zhongyan changed the law and reformed, but at the same time, what I didn't know was that there was also someone waiting for him in front of him.
