Ling'er bowed down and stood in front of Zhao Zhen, her eyes were rolling around, but she just didn't say anything, whenever Zhao Zhen knew that she was trying to make excuses, and whenever she wanted to criticize her, it always made Zhao Zhen cry and laugh.

"Don't think that you can get away with it like this, I won't believe anything you say, I want to see whose "young talent" has a great future, but plans to be a relative......

Ling'er suddenly raised her head and said, "His name is Su Shi!" He is the son of Su Xun, a scholar of the Sendai Temple......"

"Hmph, isn't that it...... Su shi? …… You repeat!? ”

Zhao Zhen's face changed suddenly, with a hint of surprise in surprise, and then he accepted the expression on his face, and asked with a straight face: "Isn't it your wishful thinking?" My Zhao Zhen's daughter can't be so angry! ”

Zhao Ling'er raised her head in disbelief, although her father in front of her was expressionless, there was a trace of pride in her eyes, and she knew from her father's voice that her father was not angry.

"He treats me with sincerity, and my daughter's feelings will never be wrong, don't you often say that it is much better to find someone who loves you than to find someone you love? Now that my daughter has found it and has both, why not be satisfied? ”

Zhao Zhen was speechless for a while, this girl would draw inferences from one another, and refute herself with her own words, among the three children, she Zhao Linger is the most intelligent, with the wisdom of not losing to Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun, if you want to talk about means, I am afraid that these two boys together can be compared to her.

"Do you really think that he, Su Shi, can become a colt? Can you give up the glory and wealth of your life? ”

Ling'er nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, he will, I once whispered to him that his name appeared on the screen of his father's imperial study, but he was still unfazed...... Still...... If not, I won't marry! ”

Zhao Zhen pursed his lips, this kid is really arrogant, dare to boast about Haikou like this, isn't he really unwilling to enter the court?

With his talent and reputation, it is entirely possible to become an important minister in the court in the future, what Zhao Zhen values most is not only Su Shi's talent and character, but also his thoughts, this person is not conservative, but quite assertive, he has read his own articles in Taixue, quite reform-minded, not a person who follows the rules.

The more such a person is, the more he should enter the court to show his ambitions, but the matter between him and Ling'er makes Zhao Zhen a little embarrassed, compared to his daughter's happiness, what is a powerful courtier? Besides, as long as he controls it well, even if Su Shi becomes his son-in-law, he can still contribute to the imperial court, and the entire Great Song Dynasty is refined, but there is a lack of an official in charge of Gewu.

Although Zeng Gongliang and Ding Du contributed a lot to the general prison and the Ordnance Division, they were not civil officials in charge of Gewu after all, but belonged to the civil officials who studied Gewu, and let them supervise the construction for a long time, but it was still a little bit worse for them to systematically manage the Gewu of the Great Song Dynasty and continue to develop and forge ahead.

The most important thing is that although the two of them value Gewu, in the eyes of their "predecessors" in the court, Gewu is a strange skill after all, and they can't get to the hall of elegance! And there are too few Gewu officials in the court, or low-cost officials, or people who are looked down on Gewu's background, if there is an official who is determined to forge ahead and lead the Gewu of the Great Song Dynasty to impact the court, a new situation will inevitably appear, becoming another force that restricts or restricts civil officials.

Zhao Zhen unconsciously drifted his thoughts away, looked at the girl in front of him who was full of anticipation and said with a smile: "So very good, since you like it, I will agree, I have already told you, if you have a man you like, you can say it and let me consider it for a moment or two, and I will never let you become a victim of marriage, now I will do what I say, but there is a condition, you must wait until you are twenty years old to get married, now you are too young, what do sixteen-year-old girls think about all day long......"

Zhao Ling'er's originally nervous pretty face froze, and then bloomed like a flower, she really didn't expect her father to be so reasonable, in fact, Zhao Zhen would be so not only because he thought of all kinds of power, but because he has always looked at marriage issues from a perspective beyond this era.

And Zhao Zhen has always been thinking about her daughter's marriage, even if she wants to marry a simple and kind person, even if she can't get a huge bride price, Zhao Zhen will still try every means to "convince" herself, and then let her daughter be happy.

Sancai hid behind the Yimen and watched for a long time, until he saw Zhao Zhen and the princess with a smile on their faces, and then approached the pillar outside the Qinzheng Hall and said, "Your Majesty, Honglu Temple Qing Li Min is here!" ”

Zhao Zhen squeezed his eyes at Ling'er and left, and said to Sancai behind him as he walked: "Pass ...... I want to see how stubborn the Khitans are and when they will give up. ”

Sancai slightly saluted Ling'er dressed as a palace maid and followed Zhao Zhen: "Official, the Liao people have really eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, they are so arrogant during this time, and they are still unstable when they get the back, they actually plan to marry our Changle princess of the Great Song Dynasty, and the official family should teach them a lesson!" ”

Zhao Zhen's face sank slightly, Sancai's words were right, the Liao Dynasty had already taken a big advantage in the big cake of Western Xia, although it was defeated by itself outside the Xingqing Mansion, but the Liao people did not lose anything, they at least occupied the land of the back set, as long as they defended it, the Great Song Dynasty had no choice.

Soon, the Liao Dynasty sent envoys to the Great Song Dynasty to make a request for peace, which was obviously to hope that the Song and Liao would give up their swords and soldiers and turn to a strategy of recuperation, and the best way to establish trust between the two sides was to make peace.

The Liao people are very smart, and they can turn the war with the Great Song Dynasty into jade silk without spending a single soldier, so the Liao people will certainly not lose money in such a good transaction, and in the same way, the matter of harmony and pro-family in the eyes of the Liao people The Great Song Dynasty will not lose money.

After all, the Great Song Dynasty had just taken the Western Xia, and it would take a long time to assimilate and relocate the party members.

Compared with the humiliation of the minister's face, the shortage of money and wealth of the tribute, and the relatives can be said to be the most appropriate, Zhao Zhen listened to Li Ming's performance, and he had already seen things clearly in his heart, this thought was certainly the idea of the Empress Dowager Xiao Tzuli of the Liao Dynasty, Zhao Zhen did not think that the young Yelu Hongji could think of this.

"Your Majesty, it is reasonable to summon the envoys of the Liao Dynasty at tomorrow's great court meeting, how can the country of the upper state make things difficult for the envoys? What's more, Yelujia came with the letter of the Empress Dowager of the Liao Dynasty, and the Song and Liao are still nominally brotherly countries, and they cannot be desecrated......"

Zhao Zhen nodded: "What you said is reasonable, I ordered the Liao Dynasty envoy Yelujia to meet with the Great Court tomorrow, and your Honglu Temple should entertain the officials of the Liao Dynasty in Beijing. ”

"Your Honor."
