The news that Zhao Zhen was obsessed with studying ice-making techniques, when it first spread, the people were scolding Zhao Zhen for not doing his job.

Gradually, however, the direction of the wind changed.

There are fewer and fewer people who scold Zhao Zhen, but on the contrary, there are more and more people who praise Zhao Zhen.

……

Early in the morning, near the North Gate.

Hundreds of people gathered around.

In the crowd, there was an old man in his fifties and sixties.

The old man said impassionedly: "Everyone, you have all heard about it, our crown prince, let the good prince not do it, he actually went to study what kind of ice-making technique, I also heard that he has gone to farm outside the city...... Having such an unscrupulous prince is a great shame for my Great Song Dynasty......"

Suddenly, a stout man stepped forward.

The old man said excitedly: "This strong man, do you also think that the prince does not have the appearance of a prince, and he will endanger the ...... of the Great Song Dynasty in the future?"

Before he could speak, the man suddenly punched the old man in the face.

The man took a sip: "Your mother's face...... The old immortal, the prince studied ice-making, which was sympathetic to the suffering of the people of Li in the summer, and wanted me to have ice to cool down in the future...... You dare to speak out here and insult the prince, I really don't know whether you live or die......"

"Shoot him!"

Someone next to him shouted.

The crowd rushed up and punched and kicked the old man.

Bang bang.

When the officials of Kaifeng Mansion arrived, the old man was stripped naked and lying on the side of the street trembling.

Similar things continue to happen in Bianjing.

……

Khao Fu.

In the backyard, Kou Zhun sat under the tree, sighed uncontrollably, and said to himself: "Alas, who would have thought that Ding Wei, Cao Yu, etc., would be so bold that they would risk death to spread this matter, and now, the situation can no longer be suppressed......"

What he is worried about is the current rumor of Zhao Zhen, the lieutenant general of Bianjing City, studying ice-making techniques.

If this continues, Zhao Zhen's reputation will be seriously affected, and if he proposes to let Zhao Zhen be in charge of the country at this time, the people of the world will not accept it, and the officials will not agree.

"Prince, confused......" Kou Zhun couldn't help but say.

Before the words fell, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps at the door, and Wang Zhi appeared in front of Kou Zhun in a panic.

Seeing this, Kou Zhun asked nervously, "Uncle Hui, how is it, is the situation out of control?" ”

Wang Wei said with a serious expression: "Father-in-law, this time, I'm afraid we are really wrong!" ”

"Oh?"

Wang said: "Father-in-law, early this morning, there was a change...... Up to now, on the streets, although people are still talking about this matter, very few people are scolding His Highness, but praising His Highness's benevolence. ”

What?

Kou Zhun listened to the detailed description of the Wang Agency, and his face was confused.

That sounds outrageous!

"Quick, quick, take the old man out of the district to see ......"

The two hurried out of the Kou Mansion and onto the street.

Two businessmen walked by.

One said, "Did you hear that?" Today, when the prince heard that the people of Bianjing City were suffering from the heat, he actually let go of the East Palace, and went to Pingshan and other uninhabited places to study ice-making techniques hard, so that the people could cool down from the heat in the future! ”

Another person said: "I have just heard about it, and I have to say that the current prince is really one of the best saints, and when he ascends the throne in the future, our people will have a good life!" ”

A family of three walked by.

A child jumped up and down and said loudly: "Father, mother, I will study ice-making techniques like the prince in the future, so that we can have ice to eat when it is hot." ”

When the couple heard this, they both laughed with relief.

……

Kou Zhun was dumbfounded when he heard similar discussions.

Originally, the people had no impression of the prince who had lived in the deep palace for a long time.

Today, the prince's reputation spreads throughout Bianjing, and women and children know it.

He turned around and looked at Wang Wei: "Uncle Hao, have you figured out the joints in this?" ”

Wang Wei shook his head: "Father-in-law, I ...... To this day, I still can't figure it out...... But I figured out something else! ”

"Oh?"

Wang Zhi said in a firm tone: "That is, Your Highness, it seems that he has long expected this result, otherwise, he would not have arranged for me to do this!" ”

Kou Zhun was surprised: "In other words, His Highness has long known that spreading this matter will not only not damage his reputation, but will make him famous among the people, and then, he will take advantage of the situation and let Ding Wei and others go to this matter, and he and the East Palace can reap the benefits without doing anything, and Ding Wei and others have done their best to help His Highness a lot?" ”

Wang Zhi nodded: "Only this explanation is reasonable." ”

Kou Zhun suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, Ding Wei, Cao Yu, Wang Qinruo, which is not a human spirit, even the old man has fallen into their hands many times, but now he is being played with by a child, hahahaha......"

Smiling and smiling, Kou Zhun suddenly sighed and said, "Uncle Hao, the old man is wrong. ”

"Father-in-law......"

Kou Zhun said leisurely: "Before, the old man thought that although His Royal Highness had grown up, the old man and Li Gugu could still teach him, but now it seems that ...... Such a wise and unfathomable highness, how can the old man teach him......"

An eleven-year-old child actually made Kou Zhun have an urge to bow and worship!

"Uncle Hui, let's go, let's go to Pingshan now!" Kou Zhun said anxiously.

……

Ping shan.

Zhao Zhen had already fallen asleep.

Hearing Kou Zhun asking to see him, he quickly got up.

Entering the main hall, Zhao Zhen saw that Kou Zhun and Wang Zheng both looked anxious, so he asked: "Mr. came to Pingshan so late, did something big happen in the court?" ”

Kou Zhun shook his head: "Your Highness, rest assured, there are ministers in the court, Ding Wei and other villains dare not mess around, and the ministers are specially here to ask for advice." ”

What?

Zhao Zhen just sat down, and when he heard this, he was directly frightened and stood up.

Asking for advice?

The first Zaifu of the Great Song Dynasty!

The backbone of a hundred officials!

Famous ministers through the ages!

Asking for advice from this palace?

He looked at Kou Zhun in surprise and asked, "Sir, there doesn't seem to be anything about offending you in this palace, right?" As the crown prince, you are the gentleman of this palace, and you are an elder, and you have walked more bridges than this palace, you are right to teach this palace, when is your turn to ask this palace? ”

Kou Zhun shook his head and said with a serious expression: "Your Highness should not be too humble, Your Highness's talent is beyond the reach of the ministers, today, I have come to ask Your Highness for advice, that is, the change in the direction of the rumors in Bianjing City...... The ministers thought about it, but they didn't understand why the people were scolding His Highness for not doing his job properly, and then suddenly changed their words and praised His Highness's benevolence......"

Zhao Zhen listened to it and was relieved, he also thought that Kou Zhun was here to find fault and not to be a Zaifu under the pretext of not being a Zaifu, in that case, there would be no one in charge of the court, and there might be a lot of trouble.

Zhao Zhen laughed and said: "The reason why Mr. can't figure it out is because of different positions, Mr. thinks from the perspective of court officials, but he doesn't look at this matter from the perspective of ordinary people. ”

Kou Zhun was still full of doubts, like a serious elementary school student, and asked humbly: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" ”
