In fact, Wang Yan also has a hard time, but it is inconvenient to say. It's not good that the crown prince is not under the protection of the Imperial City Division. But Wang Yan understands the world, and Zhao Zongshi is already thirty years old, and he is no longer at the age of education.

Women, especially Queen Cao's patriarchal mentality, she will definitely be very long-winded. Given that she is really not Zhao Zongshi's mother-in-law, her words are not sweet. If Zhao Zongshi really lives in this period, it will definitely exacerbate the contradiction between the two palaces.

Wang Yan didn't let Xiao Zhao live in because he was afraid that the Taoist priest would be unfavorable to him, it was impossible. Instead, he didn't want to pave the way for "Han Qi's intervention to threaten the Queen Mother" in history, which was extremely detrimental to the political stability of the Great Song Dynasty.

So how long is it going to be delayed? Just drag it until Zhao Zongshi ascends the throne.

Da Yan thought that the Queen Mother and Zhao Zongshi would be much more relaxed at that time. Very simply, psychologically speaking, after ascending the throne, Zhao Zongshi is the emperor after all, and he is not a child, Empress Cao is really not a fool, and she will not openly interfere too much with the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty when there is not much contradiction.

When these things happened in history, it was probably in Zhao Zongshi's prince stage that the two sides had already made the bitterness and hatred of the two sides, so it really intensified.

So the prescription for this is not to meet or to meet less before intensifying the conflict. Then the queen's anger is not heavy, and after the emperor's identity, even if she is verbose, she will have a choice to speak, and she will be able to ease up.

Of course, these can only be done, not said.

And Empress Cao was dissatisfied with this, but she did not dare to openly accuse Wang Yan.

Lao Zhao is obscene, put Wang Yan on the fire to roast, this has become Wang Yan's responsibility, and he has hatred. After Wang Yan came over to put the problem back for Zhao Zongshi, the queen mother would not blame Zhao Zongshi now, but would blame Wang Yan. This is called buffering, and Wang Yan has become the one who bears the blame.

"Niangniang, is there anything else?" Wang Yan said goodbye again.

Empress Cao thought about it and said with a slightly slower expression: "It's basically gone." One last point I want to say is that this palace has misunderstood you in the past, and there is still some friction. ”

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Niangniang is polite, you haven't misunderstood the minister." Because the minister's inappropriate behavior is real, it is not a rumor and slander. ”

It was rare for the Great Demon King to admit it, Queen Cao was very happy, and said with a smile: "The official family has always had an eye for this. After a lot of experience, now I see that you are really mature and stable, like a different person. This time I summoned you to the palace, and this palace wants to be grateful. I heard that you went to stop Zhao Shu's dinner last night? ”

"There's this." Wang Yan nodded slightly.

Empress Cao said: "That's good." You always like to pull hatred and offend people, and you always made this palace feel that this is pretending. Fortunately, you did the same to the prince, which means that the official family did not use the wrong person. You didn't go along with it because he was the heir of the Great Song Dynasty. So far, Xianggong has his own behavior and faction, which can be regarded as fair. ”

Wang Yan didn't respond, and raised the tea bowl again and took a sip. She won't shoot people casually if she has nothing to do, and there must be follow-up remarks.

Sure enough, after adding boiling water to Wang Yan, Empress Cao continued: "Now the official family is not in good health, and he does not take care of the government, the crown prince was the supervisor of the country at the beginning, and the matter of declaring war on Jiaozhi with the hardliner Han Qi has been completed, and it should not have been pointed at the policies that have taken effect." However, national stability comes first, and fighting a war is not a good thing. This palace heard that in the early days, the political intention of the prime minister was to negotiate and dialogue with Jiaozhi, is there such a thing? ”

Wang Yan did not respond. It's only in the psychological feeling that everything is unpredictable: maybe on this issue, he will reach a consensus with Empress Cao to become an alliance?

Empress Cao hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, this palace doesn't want to overstep its authority and interfere in politics. But during the period when the official family did not take care of the government and the prince supervised the country, as the queen intervened in the control, the palace itself did not feel inappropriate. ”

Wang Yan thought about Shaoqing and nodded slightly: "There is nothing wrong with Niangniang's words. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a novice on the road, and in the early days of the country, our country was facing a grim situation and needed to be steady. In the current situation when the old official family could not govern, in addition to the Minister of State, the royal family should have someone to accompany them, help them on their horses, and escort them through the dark period of the Great Song Dynasty. This is not a problem in terms of emotion, reason, or law. ”

Empress Cao nodded again and again in flattery.

"But ......"

This turning point couldn't help but make Empress Cao's face black.

Wang Yan didn't care about her face, and continued: "Theory is just theory. As you know, the minister has consistently not advocated the conservative line of 'as long as the process is justice, it doesn't matter if the world falls apart'. ”

Empress Cao said displeasedly: "Is the procedure and legal justice still wrong?" ”

"The minister didn't dare, and the minister didn't say it was wrong. In fact, different times require different paths. The involvement of the harem in government affairs is a sensitive matter in which dynasty and generation, please note that what the minister said is sensitive, and he is not wrong. ”

Wang Yan talked eloquently: "So according to the principle of sensitivity, the prince is in a hurry to do things when he is just starting out, and he will definitely have a rebellious mentality, which is determined by human nature." At this time, the more pressure you put on him, the more counterproductive it is. On the contrary, it will force him to be anxious to further express himself, and there will be a situation of 'working against parents'. ”

Empress Cao thought for a while, and said: "But the minister said that he is already thirty years old, and he is no longer a child, so how can he rebel?" ”

Wang Yan said: "Mental age is not equal to actual age. If he continues to be an ordinary sect disciple, he is of course more mature than anyone else. But now in a new role, in his mentality of gaining and losing, if his views are opposed, his mentality will deteriorate. And when he doesn't actually have the right to decide, the minister thinks that this is not only useless, but also counterproductive. If the prince is embarrassed, Han Qi's character will also rebound, which is not conducive to the relationship between the harem and the middle hall, and is not conducive to the harmonious relationship between the two palaces in the future, what does Niangniang think? ”

Hearing Empress Cao's flurry, she entered a state of consideration.

She is not blindly unreasonable, she just said that she is not a beautiful yellow-faced woman, Lao Zhao usually has no heart to correct and train her, and others do not communicate with her, only Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu and others are pyramid schemes for her. And she sold Zhao Zongshi's "crown princess" pyramid scheme, which led to the cultivation of the future Empress Gao into the most extreme science party in the Great Song Dynasty.

Khan, that's it. This is what the ancestors said, "Listening is clear".

Zhao Hui is a fan of Wang Anshi and Wang Yan, a rare radical emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. In the entire 300 years of the Song Dynasty, the civil officials who were "expelled" were concentrated in the Zhao period, accounting for probably two-thirds of the proportion. This is because Thaksin Wang Anshi, and then Wang Anshi decisively smashed the jobs of these people.

However, Zhao Ji's mother-in-law, Empress Gao, is an iron fan of Sima Guang and the largest conservative school of science in the Great Song Dynasty. So after Zhao Ji, Wang Anshi was cold, and she carried Sima Guang out.

Sima Sage is really awesome, even if the eldest patriarch Wang Anshi didn't let him go during the period, which shows that Lao Sima is really one of the tumblers, and he is sitting upright.

Wang Yan really didn't talk nonsense. If Zhao Zongshi really has the final say now, then Da Yan and Empress Cao will coerce him, and according to his conservative and cowardly character, he will compromise and turn the policy around.

It's a pity that it's not Zhao Zongshi who has the final say, but Han Qi. This is the political characteristic of the Great Song Dynasty.

Supervising the country and supervising the country, he is just a supervisor and intern, not a shopkeeper, he can suggest, he can petition, he can quarrel, but now it is still Han Qi who makes decisions.

It's a pity that he is now limited to a sensitive situation, he chose to rely on Han Qi and was brainwashed by Han Qi, not only did he have no right to decide, but he also couldn't listen to other people's suggestions for the time being. Therefore, under the mentality of Long Aotian, who is in a hurry to do things, he runs to pour cold water and says, "You are wrong, you can't", there will definitely be a very bad countereffect, and on the contrary, it will make the politics of the Great Song Dynasty a mess in the future.

Wang Yan used a sideways approach last night to make Zhao Zongshi vaguely feel that there was a problem with the strategy of sending troops to Guangnan. But there must be no radical head-on conflict.

Theoretically, of course, you can petition Lao Zhao, but in practice, you can't do it politically. Because finding Lao Zhao to petition is equivalent to slapping Lao Zhao's face, Han Qi's face, and Zhao Zongshi's face at the same time.

The intern sent by the emperor for the first time, before the matter began, he bypassed the prime minister and ran to Lao Zhao and said, "The prince you chose is wrong, and you can't do anything", which made Lao Zhao annoyed and made Zhao Zongshi unable to deal with himself.

Judging from Lao Zhao's previous actions, since he planned to be stubborn for the first time in his life, he identified Zhao Zongshi and announced the Sheji and the Zongmiao, and established the Prince of the Great Song Dynasty, of course it will not change. So how can I go to the boss on the first day of the internship and say that this intern is not good?

Doing so is called laziness and shirking responsibility. That iron must have been slapped on the back of the head by Lao Zhao and said: "The prince can't do it, it's your master's dereliction of duty." Khan, change Wang Yan to deal with it, Wang Yan will come back like this.

As a result, a situation has been formed in which all parties are jealous, and it is difficult to tell who is scolding whom?

Lao Zhao is not unaware of the current situation and problems, just because he is the emperor, he can be the shopkeeper and hand over this problem to Wang Yan to deal with. This is what it means to be in its place.

The world war that will be fought is only a model deduction of Wang Yan, and it is not certain. Therefore, Wang Yan also has his own things that need to be weighed, and he can't take big taboos for uncertain things.

The point is that it is useless to take risks, in short, it is impossible to convince the emperor of this matter before something goes wrong. Then the decision is in Han Qi's hands.

And it is not that war is about to be declared on Cochin, but that war has already been declared. Under the established national policy, even if you don't agree with Han Qi's line, as the people and officials of the Great Song Dynasty, you can't help but support Xiangye's work at this time.

Try your best to buffer before something happens, that's called effort, that's called admonition. When something happens, it is called vassal elegance, calling it a pill, and talking without backache.

These are all the thoughts and problems of the Great Demon King during this period.

So there was no room for negotiation on this issue, Wang Yan finally got up and hugged his fists and said: "Niangniang, the minister is undoubtedly offended." It is true that the minister does not support the policy of sending troops to Guangnan, but since war has been declared, not about to declare war, this is the national policy and national character of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is the overall will of the Great Song Dynasty. It is a necessary consciousness not to impose problems on the crown prince and the prime minister during the national war. Whether this war is necessary or not, it is difficult to argue. ”

"Comparing the heart to himself, at that time, the army of the commander marched westward, and after crossing the Huangshui four times, Zongcheng won a great victory, and made a strategic turnaround for the first time. However, a group of people led by Sima Guang in the imperial court constantly put pressure on the emperor and the ministers to retreat and oppose the war. ”

Wang Yan said bitterly: "It is true that at that time, I could not prove that Sima Guang was wrong, and I could not be proved right. Therefore, now the minister will not criticize on the basis of the line, but in fact, this is an ethical and moral issue, and it is suspicion and distrust of his comrades-in-arms. The so-called gentleman should be frank and small, and the non-gentleman should be unreasonable. When the war had become a fact and had entered the most critical period of the dynasty, he dragged his feet with his conscience and opposed the war with theories that he was not sure about. It's not a crime, but I won't do it as long as I live for a day. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Empress Cao insisted on her own opinion, and said: "What Xiang Gong said is very touching, in the past, this palace was actually ...... Didn't think about these theories. But this palace still insists that it is not right to say, and the so-called both listening and even the words of the saints, some people insist on war, and others can of course insist on opposing the war. There is indeed no right or wrong in this, but there is no unity of values. Xianggong must remember that he should not be obsessed with Sima Guang's behavior at that time. ”

Wang Yan was depressed for a while, thinking that Tietou Guang was so awesome, what was the use of me lingering, in the future, he could boil Wang Anshi to death, and log in to Qingyun with the support of your daughter-in-law. It is said that his old man has resigned countless times and is rolling all over the ground, not wanting to do things. At that time, he was in very poor health, how could he still be the prime minister? But Tie Touguang still dragged his sick body to become prime minister, and he only did it for half a year, and after he happened to abolish all Wang Anshi's laws, he died with a sigh of relief.

"Okay, looking at Xianggong's appearance, you are also stubborn and insist on being hostile to Sima Guang." Empress Cao is not angry with him now, but she is also very helpless.

"He is not an enemy, so there is no hostility. But Chen really didn't have the obligation to like that guy. Wang Yan said crookedly wearing a hat.

Empress Cao nodded, and said worriedly: "Let's not talk about Sima Guang's problem, in short, Xianggong means: This time he will not intervene in teaching Zhao Shu's Guangnan war policy, right?" ”

Wang Yan said: "It is to guide, not to teach, he is no longer a child." The minister advised Niang Niang not to talk to him about this kind of question at this time, so as not to cause a backlash and it was useless. It is not the responsibility of the mother to guide His Royal Highness the Prince, but the responsibility of the minister. Niangniang can not see the prince, but if she must see, the minister hopes to talk about family life as a 'mother', chat in life, and give care. But don't talk about government affairs at this time. It's not a question of daring or not, it's about how you strategize. “

Empress Cao said curiously: "What do you tell us about the strategy?" ”

Wang Yan said: "There are many bicycles in Tokyo now, have you ever ridden them?" ”

Empress Cao smiled: "I've ridden, it's a new thing, it's very fun, it's made in the factory of Cao Ji, the younger brother of the palace, and you invented it." ”

Wang Yan nodded slightly and said: "Of course the mother will understand that when the bicycle is offset to the left, it can only be corrected to the left, and if it is pulled to the right, it will definitely overturn, isn't this the truth?" ”

Empress Cao was stunned, and when she thought about it, it was really true.

At this point, Wang Yan said goodbye and turned around: "This is a phenomenon and theorem of the universe. Zoom in to the national policy, zoom in to education, His Royal Highness the Prince can also be copied. It is the so-called blockage is better than sparse. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already participated, and when the national war has begun, it is the left offset of the bicycle. At this time, you can't twist it, but instead support them 'more'. While turning danger into relief, as cyclists, His Royal Highness and Han Qi will also have a 'car feeling', and they will feel thrilling, so as to stabilize themselves. ”

Empress Cao was shocked after thinking for a while, but unfortunately she couldn't see the back of the Great Demon King when she came back to her senses. He had already left the Renming Palace.

Only then did Lu Chunyang intervene: "Niangniang seems to believe in him more and more? ”

Empress Cao thought for a while, shook her head slightly, and said, "It's not faith, it's understanding and respect." Prejudice hurts a lot. Now that he is really mature, he has a problem, but he is also the one who actually led Da Song out of the darkness. This is indelible. An open conversation with him was a mouth-wrenching, and success was no accident. Today, he is already a grandmaster. ”

"Did you summon the prince to give a lecture? To maintain the majesty of the Renming Temple? Tongtian Sect Master Lao Lu asked.

The queen shook her head and said, "Forget it." On some issues, Wang Yan has a point. Majesty is not obtained by sapping and conflict, don't think that the Great Demon King really relied on traitorous means to rise. He rose for one reason: to do things, and to do useful things. For example, he was ordered to win the national war in danger, and as an industrial leader, he more than doubled the finances of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
