In the Shangqing Palace, Zhao Zhen looked around, looking at the runes and bronze objects hanging on the walls of the entire hall in a daze.

The twenty-eighth generation of the Heavenly Master Dao Sect Master said to the emperor: Keep the stars away, villains are rampant.

The Heavenly Master didn't make it clear who was the general star and who was the villain, and these gods were so virtuous. But Zhao Zhen has his own understanding in his heart, and Ouyang Xiu theorizes that villains belong to yin, and moving the stars away means that the yin qi is too heavy, and there must be a yang town.

In ancient times, copper was counted as gold, and it was an orthodox thing to ward off evil spirits.

Zhao Zhen, who was persecuted and delusional, had lost his mind last time, his thinking was abnormal, his head was full of obscene thoughts, and he always felt confused, so Zhao Zhen did not believe in Lu Chunyang, but still believed in the branch of the Taoist Heavenly Master, so he invited the twenty-eighth generation of the sect leader Yu Chu from Longhu Mountain to Beijing to see feng shui.

Yu Chu suggested that Zhao Zhen stay in the Shangqing Palace, and used magic tools (bronze vessels) to close the entire Shangqing Palace from the inside, so although the copper storage in the royal inner treasury was almost emptied, it really worked. In addition to the poor physical energy due to age, Zhao Zhen feels more awake than ever, no longer having nightmares, and no more cranky.

So Lao Zhao watched everything coldly in the Shangqing Palace.

Now Lao Zhao has a fire, but he can't send it out. Bao Zheng's appearance is not good, but it is unexpected.

If the prodigy doesn't write a letter, the old bag won't be broken. It is likely that it will slowly enter the white heat, and you can see the true faces of many people in the capital.

Of course, there is a great risk in that way, and the entire Great Song Dynasty is in danger of getting out of control. Bao Zheng made a mistake in advance, and it was no problem for him to stabilize the Great Song Dynasty and put an end to the risk of getting out of control. But the price is that everything is as usual, and in this process, Zhao Zhen, who is scheming and decisive, does not see a special clue and a handful of ulterior motives.

This made Lao Zhao very unhappy.

At the same time, Lu Chunyang's prophecy of star change was actually fulfilled in the Liao Kingdom.

Zhao Zhen couldn't figure out what the future of the hegemony of the Liao State would be, which made the Song State fear, go unexpectedly, but at Zhao Zhen's age, when his energy was not continuous, he suddenly heard that the "old opponent" was dead, and Zhao Zhen himself had no queen, so the current emptiness and loneliness could not be explained.

Lao Chen also looked older, with gray hair, looking at the emperor with some distress and helplessness.

In Lao Chen's memory, the emperor was lonely too much, and he always couldn't get over a certain mental hurdle, and it can even be said that his life was always spent in such a way of thinking about gains and losses. It is undeniable that the current emperor is a wise man, the sad thing is that he thinks too much, his courage is limited, and in the decades he has been in power in this life, he has really done almost nothing.

If you want to make a difference, you have to change, this is the origin of Qingli's new policy, but a change will be painful, Zhao Zhen is always afraid of pain and dare not take injections, this blink of an eye is now, the emperor is old, and the father Chen is also old

After thinking for a long time, the emperor sighed lightly and said, "Is the child's diplomacy really disappointing, is it really ineffective?" ”

Manager Chen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know, the old minister still waits for the test to see the after-effects." However, His Majesty doesn't need to worry about him, since Wen Yanbo is the prime minister, there are not many people who like to find fault with him now. ”

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "This incident proves that the opposition is not only bad. Someone is willing to stare at something, or at least avoid some mistakes. You can't blame Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo, they look at the wrong child every time, but every time they are not completely wrong, it makes sense. I am not so confused that I blindly listen and connive, the child can trust him, but I must also teach him and control him. ”

Lao Chen's expression is extremely strange, and the emperor is the best at reasoning, but when it comes to him, he will make a mistake, saying that every time he is conniving at the little child, it is the emperor.

Zhao Zhen said in a low voice: "Is the child's behavior in Funing County really a strong country?" ”

Lao Chen said: "The old servant doesn't understand this, some of the ministers say yes, and some say no." I don't know which of them is right. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and sighed: "My Great Song Dynasty is so virtuous, and they are all spoiled by me." ”

"But it's true that the child can make money, and it's also true that my Da Song is short of money." Lao Chen added.

"Of course." Zhao Zhen nodded, "The kid has made an incomparably magical flintlock pistol, such a good thing, but my Royal Forbidden Army can't purchase it for the time being, in addition to the lack of money, there are many other reasons." I always wanted to solve this problem, but I never had the courage, afraid of bringing movement and backlash. I can't bear to watch my country move in pain when my health is not good. ”

Lao Chen suddenly understood and said, "So this is the reason why Your Majesty let Han Qi Xianggong leave Hedong and enter Beijing as a privy envoy at this undue time?" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Wen Yanbo stared at Wang Yan too closely, which will limit the child's aura, and it should be loosened." In addition, Wang Anshi also has a lot of problems, and when he encounters his son's problems, he is the one who will overkill him the most. I heard that Han Qi had already proposed that it be submitted to the Privy Council for some troops to test the replacement of flintlock pistols. However, because the obstruction of traditional arms dealers was too great, and the flintlock pistol was made by Wang Yan, Wang Anshi refrigerated the matter. In the entire Great Song Dynasty, only Han Qi was expanding the finances and buying flintlock pistols. I thought that with Han Qi's prestige in the army and his style of doing things, he might be able to achieve a tacit understanding with children. ”

After a pause, Zhao Zhen muttered again: "For this reason, Han Qi will definitely offend too many people and make some things, this guy is an iron head, he wants to take care of everything, he has obsessive-compulsive disorder more than Bao Zheng." So I don't know if it's good or bad to let Han Qi enter Beijing. Although I did it, I still hesitated, and I always wanted to finish what I had to do once. But I am afraid of being scolded by others, and I want to calm down and leave the people I can't and can't bear to do for the new generation in the future to solve. ”

"......" Lao Chen is always speechless about these, but speaking of the emperor's virtue, he has been and has maintained it for decades since he was a child, and this character and temper can never be changed.

After being silent for a while, Zhao Zhen suddenly asked with an extremely strange expression: "What do you think...... What kind of talent should the future Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty be? ”

Lao Chen, who was thinking, was taken aback, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "The old servant doesn't dare to talk about the important affairs of the country. ”

"It's okay, let's hear it, it's my family affair." Zhao Zhen said.

"Both Bao Fu and Pang Taishi said that this is the first major state affairs." Lao Chen said embarrassedly.

"Say it quickly." Zhao Zhen scolded.

Lao Chen had no choice but to say: "Okay, the old servant built it personally, and my Great Song Dynasty is based on tolerance and benevolence." Your Majesty, you have always done this, so the old servant felt that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty had to be like you. ”

Zhao Zhen pointed to his nose and said, "It sounds like I have nothing wrong with it, but it's a pity that I am not enterprising enough." ”

Lao Chen said: "The emperor needs to be peaceful and enterprising, and leave it to his ministers." Just like His Majesty used Fan Zhongyan and others back then, it is easy to turn around if you get into trouble, so as not to lose the essence of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Zhen took a deep breath, and said with a strange expression after a while: "Zhao Zongshi has time to come to Shangqing Palace to talk to me, I haven't seen him for a long time." ”

Lao Chen said: "He always stays at home. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "I understand, he loves to think and is timid. Just like when I was younger, he didn't know how to behave in this period. ”

Lao Chen was slightly stunned, and there were many voices saying that Zhao Zongshi was acting weird and his brain was abnormal, but if he thought about it like this, it seemed that he really looked like the emperor when he was young......
