Zhao Zhen stood by the pond in the back garden, holding a handful of fish food to feed the goldfish.

As a news control, Zhao Zhen certainly knew about the little uncle and the prodigy fighting on the street, and the last brain being caught by Lao Bao.

It's really speechless to talk about these people and things. The country is this virtue, tearing everywhere, fighting everywhere.

The court's Sven ministers are quarrelling, the folk showmen are also fighting, and the gentlemen are fighting with each other, even if they don't fight, they all like to organize cockfights, crickets, and women's sumo wrestling competitions without exception.

This is the Great Song.

"Neither of them is a good thing, but the prodigy's actions are full of scheming." Zhao Zhen sprinkled all the fish food into the pond and clapped his hands.

Lao Chen beside him is very embarrassed, the emperor is an understanding person most of the time, he just likes to pretend to be stupid when he can't make a decision.

"What do you think of these two guys?" The Emperor asked again.

Lao Chen was also inconvenient to break around, so he had to think about the situation more seriously and said: "Cao Ji is an out-and-out idiot, far worse than his brother Cao Yanke. He's a restless guy on weekdays. Bao Fu has asked Your Majesty more than once that you can't get off the stage, and you have opened your mouth and closed your mouth to say, 'How are your relatives?', in fact, almost half of the things were done by Cao Ji. So this guy deserves to be milled by the wicked. ”

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "You seem to have the intention of protecting children, but on the whole, there is not much difference." Cao Ji is hateful but that's it, I don't bother to care about him, talk about children. ”

Lao Chen had to tell the truth: "That kid must have a reason for doing things." He would not be stupid enough to offend the Cao family for trivial matters, so in the eyes of the old servant, the child is in Liwei and wins over the hearts of the people of Kaifeng Mansion. By the way, win over the hearts of the military. ”

Zhao Zhen couldn't help laughing and said: "If you dare to be fearless of the powerful and want to save the same way, you will definitely get the support of the people." Bao Zheng is hateful, the popularity is so great that I am embarrassed to clean him up, otherwise I won't become a faint king? ”

After a pause, he said: "Junxin, do you mean that the child is showing favor to the Di family?" But I felt that the child was causing me trouble and offending the queen. The Cao family is a pivotal figure in the army. So he beat my brother-in-law violently to win over the hearts of the army? ”

Lao Chen said: "Back to Your Majesty, the old servant thinks it's counted." The child is a philistine, he doesn't do useless work, and he doesn't try to please everyone. Judging from the Huaixi battlefield, he only pleases the useful group, and Di Qing is the target of the child. ”

Zhao Zhen has always liked Di Qing, so he said, "You tell me specifically." ”

Chen Zongguan: "The old servant believes that from Wang Yan's attitude towards the Xixia Yipintang and Huaixi incidents, and from his father's report to the new strategy of the Western Xia, etc., as the border situation becomes increasingly tense, the Wang family's thinking is already working on the next Songxia battle. Obviously, if the unfortunate battle of Song and Xia came in a few years, the Great Song Dynasty would rely on the Western Army, not the Fourth Army in the capital. As we all know, the Western Army is Fan Zhongyan's public lineage. ”

It can be seen that after Han Qi was transferred and Fan Zhongyan passed away, the two soul figures who really had influence on the Western Army were Di Qing and Chong E. Di Qing is known as the god of war and can lead the army, and Chong E is the nephew of the great Confucian Chongfang, the son of Chong Shiheng, and inherited the prestige of the Chong Shiheng among the Qiang people. Therefore, this literature and martial arts are the soul of politics and military in Shaanxi. If the child is planning a strategy against the Western Xia, and he wants to replace Han Qi's influence in Shaanxi and worship the generals, Chong E and Di Qing are inescapable figures. Politically, the Wang family leaned on Fan Zhongyan's concept of Xianggong, and he was working with the conservatives represented by Sima Guangpang, in fact, it was to take the reading family, and now cleaning up Cao Ji is to take the reading of Your Majesty and the Di family. ”

When the big yin man said this, Zhao Zhen was silent, and the emperor also vaguely thought of these things, but they were not so clear.

Now Zhao Zhen is full of infinite curiosity about this prodigy handpicked by himself. Let's not talk about other events, but on the battlefield of Huaixi, he won so beautifully without relying on the forbidden army, and now, he has actually begun to start the military heart and start preparations for the next Song and Xia battles?

"That kid's braincase structure is really amazing, he has a lot of magical thoughts that others can't understand, and he can see far away. It can be seen from the fact that he seems to be talking nonsense, but in a short period of time, the emperor is jumping around. ”

Zhao Zhen could only sigh like this, "However, there are also magical troubles, Fu Bi wrote a private letter to me to recommend the child, saying that this is a rare prodigy in a hundred years, and the Great Song Dynasty Youchen is so blessed by the society." So in this matter, Han Qi and Fu Bi got up again. Han Qi said that children are more cunning and not more righteous, not the way of kings, what do you think, Mr. Chen? ”

Han Qi is a tiger, so Lao Chen didn't dare to talk nonsense, and said in a low voice: "It is inconvenient for the old servant to evaluate Han Qi's husband, Your Majesty forgive me." ”

Zhao Zhen had to say to himself: "What can't you say." In the future, this will be another battle between Han Qi and the Wang family in Shaanxi, and the battle for orthodoxy will be the same as the battle between Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan back then. Back then, I believed Han Qi, which led to the defeat of Haoshuichuan. Han Qi is so virtuous, he doesn't like to take a detour, and he talks about momentum and kingship, so he will order the army to fight to the death and fight when it is not suitable. Di Qing said that this is two extremes from Wang Yan's Huaixi battlefield style. Frankly speaking, in view of Han Qi's prestige in Shaanxi, and he personally led the Western Army to preside over the Battle of Song and Xia, so before the child appeared, if the border was in an emergency, Han Qi was really an irreplaceable person, and the person who could suppress the northwest, after Fan Zhongyan, was really only Han Qi. But the appearance is tantamount to giving me a choice. So Han Qi began to squeeze the child. ”

After speaking, Zhao Zhen, who smiled bitterly, said again: "Manager Chen, assuming that you decide, who will you recommend in the future?" ”

Lao Chen thought about it rigorously and said: "It depends on the thoughts of His Majesty at that time, and the power component of the Privy Council. If His Majesty used Wang Anshi to preside over the privy council during that period, he could only use Wang Yan, otherwise there would be chaos in coordination, which was almost the norm in the Great Song Dynasty. If Wen Yanbo and others are in charge of privy affairs, then Wang Yan will be used instead, and there will be chaos. ”

This is a very obvious political rule, so Zhao Zhen nodded in approval: "It's amazing my prodigy, he is accumulating political capital now, and as his popularity in the Western Military Department increases, this is equivalent to forcing me to use Wang Anshi as a privy envoy at a certain time?" ”

Lao Chen felt that it made sense, so he nodded in approval.

Zhao Zhen finally sighed again: "It's a pity that he is too young, and he will only turn twelve next month." Otherwise, he and the Cao family will make trouble for me, but it will be an opportunity for him to flow inside, demote this calf out of Beijing, and get him to give him a county in the northwest, which will not only make the queen's thoughts clear, but also give him the opportunity to deepen the run-in with the army and bureaucracy in the northwest, then he will mature faster. Carry some things for me and Da Song. ”

After all, Lao Chen is a pampered person, and he thinks he is ruthless enough. Is it necessary to put the little fart so far away to pull the hatred?

At this time, Fukang Diji, who was practicing the "proud technique", ran and jumped over, pulling the corner of Zhao Zhen's clothes and not letting go.

Zhao Zhen didn't want to pay attention to her, so she climbed and crawled by herself, trying to climb onto Zhao Zhen's shoulder.

Lao Chen was afraid that she would fall, so he directly reached out and hugged her.

Zhao Zhen was speechless, she should get married at the age of fifteen, but she still doesn't grow up like a child all the time?

"Go and go, play by yourself, I have a lot of things." Zhao Zhen shouted a few words, but he couldn't call the emperor down.

Fukang Diji now looks like a stick lady in the sky, because she just tied a single braid, and it was a cupola braid, standing like a stick on the skull. This is because Wang Yan introduced such an image in "Iron Head Light and Sima Cylinder". was imitated by the iron fan Contiguity.

"I haven't seen any updates recently, so my father should hurry up and urge it." Forconti said.

Zhao Zhen hugged her off his body and slapped her on the back of the head: "He was caught in Kaifeng Mansion and renewed." ”

"Ah, then you can quickly fish him out of Kaifeng Mansion?" Focanti began to worry, I can't imagine that only bad people will be caught, but that kid doesn't look like a bad person?

"Don't think about it, I won't go to Bao Zheng for these things, children love to make trouble, so they should accept the grind and the price." After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he slipped away.

Fukang Diji thought for a while and asked Lao Chen: "The child is a bad person?" ”

Lao Chen tilted his head and thought about it, and said honestly: "This is not easy to judge, the old servant only knows that he is not a good person, but he is not bad." ”
