In front of the gate of the Shangqing Palace, Zhan Zhao met Zhan Daxia, and Zhan Zhao still looked handsome and unmatched, with a straight waist.

When he saw Wang Yan, he was inevitably dumbfounded and said, "What's the matter...... Will you come here at this time? ”

The big cat thinks that the big demon king should be captured and besieged in the middle hall now?

"Where can I ask for your approval, hurry up and report to the official's family, and say that Wang Yan wants to see him." Wang Yan urged.

Zhan Zhao frowned and said: "Your Majesty is not healed, his spirit is not good, and he ...... take a nap in the middle of the day."

"Don't wear the skin of a spy and pretend to be a doctor to express your opinions, I am a courtier of the Privy Council, and I am less verbose when I see something going on in the official family." Wang Yan waved his hand again to urge.

Zhanzhao had no choice, so he had to go in for a while, and then came out again and said, "Your Majesty let you in." ”

Wang Yan stepped in, but took two steps back, and said with bad intentions: "You shouldn't listen to the queen's order to catch me for tea, right?" ”

Zhan Zhao was embarrassed for a while: "Zhan Mou...... Only listen to Your Majesty's orders, if Your Majesty can't give orders, then listen to Han Qi's Xianggong, if Han Qi Xianggong is not there, listen to your father Wang Anshi's orders. ”

"That's good, seeing that you still have principles and laws and disciplines, my little old king will be relieved. Remember, the only reason you haven't been harmonized by me over the years is because of these two characteristics, don't lose them. Wang Yan praised and threatened Zhanzhao before entering.

Zhan Zhao was depressed for a while, listening to him say principles and law and discipline is the biggest joke of the Great Song Dynasty......

In the Shangqing Palace, Lao Zhao was awake on the rattan recliner and was in bad spirits, compared to the last time they met, he seemed to be fat.

On the table in front of me, there were some supplements from the Imperial Medical Bureau, but they were not touched. Judging from the worried eyes of his father Lao Chen, the emperor should have not eaten for a long time.

And Wang Yan thought about the yellow stewed chicken and pig's feet in sour soup at home, so he had some saliva in his mouth.

Lao Zhao also understood this kid, so he lay down listlessly and waved his hand: "I have never had an appetite, Xiao Wang Qing's family seems to be hungry, so let's eat these." ”

"Well, Xiaochen has no intention of peeking into the food of the official family, in fact, for people with lofty ideals in my generation, these are all external things and do not value them at all. I came here because I hadn't seen the official family for more than a year, and I was worried about the health of the official family, so I came to visit. Wang Yan looked unmoved by the food.

Lao Zhao said a little angrily: "I don't know why, you always have a child-like naughty heart." I especially like to see your open-eyed and non-talking style, but I can't think of you. ”

Wang Yan was depressed for a while, and he was concluded by him to "talk nonsense with his eyes open"?

"The big official is wise, and the minister's little bit of dirty thoughts, after all, will still be seen through by the official, okay, since the official family gives food, the minister will eat it, so as not to waste it. Ouch......"

After Lao Zhao signaled, Wang Yan was slapped on the back of the head by Mr. Chen, so he had to stop talking and start eating.

It's delicious to eat, but after eating, I found that some Chinese herbs similar to Brother Wei were added to these delicacies, and the slot is that the full man doesn't know the difficulty of the hungry, Lao Zhao is a large group of beautiful women in the harem and can't cope with it, and Da Yan eats these things, what if he goes home and Dabai doesn't cooperate? After this car starts, it will be troublesome if it can't be driven.

After he had eaten and drunk enough, Zhao Zhen said lazily: "The queen has come to me more than once to talk about your problem, and some courtiers have asked for the opinions of some generals, they think that in the Qingtang counteroffensive strategy you presided over, there was an intention to release water to Zhuo Luolan's department, saying that you left room for her, which led to the Qingtang army being blocked and failing to completely take the Great Wall defense line, child, what do you have to say about this?" ”

"I have people with lofty aspirations, and I have something to do and something to do."

Wang Yan said eloquently: "These rhetoric that catches the wind and shadows does not need to be justified. In fact, he came to this world, grew up in the Great Song Dynasty, and was supported by the grace of the official family when he was a teenager, and in return, the minister's obligations and missions to the Great Song Dynasty have been basically completed. The minister doesn't go to the capital hall, and he doesn't defend himself in the book because there is no need for that, and the official position is not my concern. So the minister came to the Shangqing Palace, and he just wanted to explain to the official family, so as to go to his heart. ”

Then he said: "In Qingtang's counteroffensive strategy, objectively speaking, the minister does have compassion for Zhuo Luolan. But this does not affect our Great Song strategy. The reason why Dong Yu and Qingyi were strictly forbidden to form a ghost with the Southern Military Division at the first time was that they were cautious when they had already won, and they would save their profits so as not to take them back. Secondly, it can be regarded as repaying Zhuo Luolan's benevolent government in Hehuang at that time. The so-called seeking benevolence and benevolence, Zhuo Luolan's policy on the south bank of the Huangshui, retained the vitality of Qingtang and limited damage This is a fact, and later she recognized the situation in time and withdrew from the Hehuang battlefield, which can be regarded as a passive opportunity for our volunteers to end the Hehuang campaign at a critical time. Therefore, in terms of the law of affairs, she can also be regarded as 'surrendering and losing half', and it is providential and open-minded to give her some feedback. ”

"In that period, the ministers were more concerned about the future interests of the Great Song Dynasty, and if Qingtang succeeded in obtaining a complete defense line of the Great Wall, it would be unfavorable to the interests of my Great Song Dynasty in Hehuang. That is to say, if the Henan Military Division is really disabled, after Zhuo Luolan is killed, there will be no decent border defense force in the Western Xia in the short term, and if the Western Xia cannot form a continuous threat to Tubo, then the reason for our Great Song Dynasty to garrison troops in Hehuang is insufficient, and if there is no Song army stationed, then our Great Song Dynasty's investment and development of the entire Hehuang will be tied, and it is easy to make wedding dresses for others, thus affecting the sustainable development of our Great Song Dynasty's commercial industry. ”

Speaking of this in one breath, Wang Yan finally said: "Of course, it is impossible to say that the minister has no selfishness, and it is not objective. But this is the future interests of the Great Song Dynasty, and what our dynasty needs is balance, not the uncontrolled side of either Western Xia and Qingtang. As the commander of the Volunteer Army, this is the final judgment of the Hehuang battlefield. ”

I'll go~

These things sounded simple and complicated, and Lao Zhao and Lao Chen looked a little dazed with their mouths half-open.

I don't know what I said, this is a very good idiom.

At this point, he could figure out his logic, and Lao Chen suddenly respected the prodigy.

Zhao Zhen thought for a moment again, sighed and said, "Little Wang Qing's family has worked hard...... But why don't you explain this in the middle hall? ”

"The official family sees that there are some things that they don't understand. Some people admit that they have a preconceived idea of their opinions, and they don't want to listen to different opinions until they break their heads. Wang Yan said: "The minister has already said that my obligations and missions to the Great Song Dynasty have basically been completed, and these things are not important. ”

Lao Zhao couldn't help but be very shocked. This is indeed an empirical matter, judging from Lao Zhao's decades of experience in the balance of the dynasty, the ministers of the Great Song Dynasty are as Wang Yan said, they are very stubborn after they have ideas, and they don't like to listen to different opinions until they break their heads.

This can be said to be Lao Zhao's efforts for the enlightenment of the Great Song Dynasty, but it can also be said that Lao Zhao was cowardly and spoiled them for decades. Really, really, although generally enlightened in the last dynasty, the literati were never so ostentatious. In this regard, Lao Zhao felt that "it is difficult to escape the blame".

I can't control it, leave these to the people in the future to solve it slowly, the good man is used to it, and it is very difficult to make Lao Zhao ruthless once. However, if they are not ruthless, it will be difficult to stop their many criticisms of prodigies. caused him to have the idea of "retreating" at a young age, and the damn thing even said that his obligations and missions were completed?

"Little Bird...... Zhao Zhen sighed: "You are always very smart, very capable, and very caring." It's really a smart move for you not to put pressure on me and not go to the middle hall to defend yourself, and I've wronged you. But even if I have this mind, I have tolerated them for the rest of my life, and I will not make an exception to ruin the honor of my life, so this is the only thing, and I no longer have the energy to balance and help you quarrel with them. ”

"The minister understands the mentality of the official family, and the official family never owes the minister, so there is no need to worry about it." Wang Yan said.

Lao Zhao was greatly satisfied, and kept twisting his beard and nodding.

In view of the good mood, Lao Zhao asked a little unboundedly: "Over the years, you have fought in the south and north for the Great Song Dynasty, and you have become more and more mature." In the blink of an eye, I have completely degenerated, and I no longer have the unique sense of youthfulness of a child, and I will inevitably have something in my heart to talk to you. ”

"Official, please speak." Wang Yan bowed.

Zhao Zhen said: "I know that you have always had a good relationship with Zhao Zongshi...... paused and sorted out his thoughts again, and then said: "Regarding the matter of establishing the prince, does Xiao Wang Qing's family have any opinions?" ”

Wang Yan suddenly shook his hand and said: "No, no, no, this is a high-end problem, boy, my words are light and low, and I don't have any opinions." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "I will ask you to say that I want to hear your opinion now." As my health deteriorated day by day, more and more people were expressing their opinions and mentioning the issue of establishing a prince. Since everyone has said it, as one of the literati of our dynasty, one of the people who wrote books and lectures, and the minister of the humerus who made countless contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, you can certainly suggest to me. Hurry, what's embarrassing. ”

Wang Yan tilted his head and thought for a while, but still said: "The minister is not good, there is no right to speak without investigation and research, this is really not the minister's business." ”

"You ......" Lao Zhao almost crooked his mouth, "Why is it none of your business, don't you care about your own interests?" ”

"Official, listen to the minister." Wang Yan said eloquently, "As long as the prince is selected after careful consideration according to the will of the official family." As for who it is, it doesn't matter at all, no matter who the official chooses, he has a reason, and he must also have his characteristics and role. Just like it rains, in short, the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army needs to have an object of allegiance, and all the ministers need the imperial court to have a Great Song mascot as the cohesion of the entire country. If this is the goal and the enlightened political guidance of our dynasty is continued, then the minister believes that no matter who he chooses, it is a wise decision of the official family. ”

Lao Zhao had a black line on his face, got up with great difficulty, and slapped him on the back of the head with his own hands and said: "You are justified no matter what you say, now, I also understand the reason why those ministers always want to smoke you, don't talk about pulling down, get out." ”

"The junior minister has retired, and the senior officials should pay more attention to cultivation." Wang Yan was about to slip away.

"Come back." Lao Zhao called him back again, pointed to his nose and said, "Don't think too much, don't run." I know your urine best, if I don't specifically say it, after you get out of this door, you will definitely run to Beijing to hide and not come out, am I wrong? ”

Wang Yan suddenly sweated.

Zhao Zhen said again: "Don't be persecuted and delusional, the situation is not as serious as you think, the subordinates of the Zhongshu family love to say, let them say it." Regarding the queen, since she is a mother in the world, if you are accidentally caught by her, as a junior, you will be scolded or beaten a few times by her, it will not be a big deal if you want to see it, and you will not die. Since you are smart and don't defend yourself, then if I don't speak, no one will be able to conclude your problem, understand? You don't have to slip away, prepare for the make-up exam, I don't have much energy, I am waiting to see how your studies have progressed in recent years, and I must not be disappointed. ”

Wang Yan was very embarrassed, and after saying this, he was embarrassed to run away to Beijing to avoid the limelight, otherwise it would seem too stingy and too obscene, and it would not be consistent with the "righteous and awe-inspiring" answers just now.

"Did you hear that?" Lao Zhao raised his hand again and made a look like he wanted to fan.

"Xiao Chen heard it, so he went home to review and prepare for the exam." Only then did Wang Yan leave.

After he left, Lao Zhao and Lao Chen looked at each other.

Manager Chen is very worried about Xiao Lao Wang's knowledge, and he doesn't know how he will pass the first few levels?

Zhao Zhen was also very embarrassed about this, but said that as an emperor, the highest level of the Great Song Dynasty imperial examination and selection officials, Lao Zhao couldn't openly guide him on how to cheat, right? It can only depend on his luck and cheating skills, just like his four crossings of the Huangshui, if you add some luck, you should also be able to pass Ouyang Xiu Wang Anshi's layers of checks.

If you really can't get over it, there's no way about it. The world is like this, it won't always be as expected, even if Zhao Zhen is the emperor, but there have been many depressed things in the past few decades, what can he do?

What is certain is that in the current situation, if you can't take the test, this kid will be really cold, and it may be that you won't be able to do it in the end.

If this situation unfortunately happens, Zhao Zhen also has a response, that is, to take the initiative to cut off his official position, arbitrarily make a duke or something, and then find a princess that the queen likes to marry him.

It's a pity that Fukang Xiaonizi is not very liked by the queen, and she is already married, hey, now Lao Zhao feels that the most unbearable is Fukang Diji. As for this kid, in fact, he thinks too much, even if he goes out to be a profiteer, he doesn't necessarily have a hard time......
