When the sun was slightly sinking in the west, the delegation fluttering the flag and holding high the festival finally appeared in front of everyone, Zhao Zhen nodded slightly to Sancai, the music of the Great Song Dynasty Huanghuang played, and Zhao Zhen walked down the steps to greet the two.

This is the highest honor given by the king of a country, Xia Zhu is complacent, and Cai Boyan is terrified, and his legs are even more trembling like chaff.

What he saw in the eyes of a group of old ministers was not the amiability of the past, but the infiltrating coldness.

When others look at you and others with this kind of difference, you have to check your own problems, Cai Boyu feels that he has no problem with etiquette, but why are the eyes of these old men so bad?

It should be impossible to be jealous, so there is only one reason, Cai Boyu's identity as a relative......

As soon as he thought of this, Cai Boyu consciously pulled a farther distance from Xia Zhu backwards, and gave all the glory to make it his best choice.

It was the first time for Cai Boyu to feel that his identity as a relative was so embarrassing, especially on such an important occasion, and he could not be compared with a courtier.

Zhao Zhen saw the uneasiness and fear in his heart, smiled slightly and stopped roasting him on the fire.

One of Zhao Zhen's ways is to add a stick to a sweet date!

He hopes that Cai Boyu will not forget his identity, and his reform involves civil and military affairs, religion, and even clans, but he still strictly controls his relatives, no matter how ancient or modern his relatives interfere in politics, the consequences are no less terrible than the war of destroying the country.

Liu E, Yang Caiwei, and now Xiao Yunjin, the Empress of Fatian in the Liao Dynasty, are all like this.

Cai Boli is a horse, Zhao Zhen can use him but can't give him an official and a knight, the most he can reward is some money, and the eyes of the Chinese military officials are staring at it!

Who else is more comfortable with this than Cai Boyu?

Zhao Zhen can hardly find a second person in the court, and he doesn't have to bear any consequences if he uses his hand, and even the courtiers will keep their eyes on him, which makes Zhao Zhen only need to show a lenient side in front of Cai Boyu without intimidating him.

Xia Zhu presented the national letter of Xiao Yunjin, the empress dowager of the Liao Dynasty, with both hands: "Your Majesty, the national letter of the Liao Dynasty is presented!" ”

Zhao Zhen took it and gently opened the golden silk paper, the black ink on it was particularly dazzling, and it was full of remarks about the peaceful coexistence of the Song and Liao countries.

In fact, this is the heart of a villain to the belly of a gentleman, the emperor of the Liao Dynasty and the empress of the main palace died one after another, if the Great Song Dynasty started to attack Liao at this time, it would directly become an unrighteous teacher in public opinion.

Zhao Zhen nodded and took it and said to Yelu Zongzheng who came to watch the ceremony: "I will personally write a letter and send it back to China on my behalf." ”

At this time, Yelu Zongzheng seemed to be more than ten years old, and people in their thirties looked like they were in their fifties, Zhao Zhen knew that he was white-headed overnight because of the death of Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, how much loyalty it took to work so hard for the country and be sad.

Yelu Zong really bowed and said weakly: "The foreign minister will do the same......

At this time, he was the only one who seemed to be smiling, and Xia Zhu, the initiator, was enjoying the praise of the courtiers.

Zhao Zhen understood that he was sympathetic to Yelu Zongzheng, but he had no regrets in his heart, the fact was that it was so cruel, and only successful people could give sympathy.

The welcome ceremony was more of a wait, and it ended in a hurry after the mission really came back, after all, no one wanted to watch others make achievements, and he wanted to cheer on the sidelines, Cai Boyu almost rushed away from the mission and rushed to his mansion, wandering for so long, leaving his wife and children in the cold.

Of course, Zhao Zhen was released, and the courtiers sent him away like a plague god, so the king did not hesitate to give him his mount, which is a kind of gesture of goodwill, everyone can see that the older Wang Zeng is, the more sleek he is, and he wants to leave office more safely at this time.

After everyone dispersed, only Lu Zongdao entered the palace to ask for a duet, and Sancai immediately reported it, because he saw Chen Lin, the old leader of the eunuchs, who was once known as the capital......

Chen Lin is still the same, as if he is almost in the ground, and his appearance is still so rotten, but his eyes have become more translucent, and the three of them led the two to the Zichen Palace, Chen Lin looked at the forbidden army on the palace wall and said with a smile: "The palace today is completely different from when the old man was there, the Imperial City Division has been merged into the black hand, where did you kid toss the rest of the people to?" ”

Sancai hurriedly replied: "Except for the people who have merged into the black hands, I have placed the rest of them in loose work, some go to the health department to support the elderly, and some act in secret files, I dare not treat them badly." ”

Chen Lin patted Sancai's shoulder and said with a smile: "Yes, you still take good care of the old people in the palace, remember, we also have an old day." ”

"Little one remembered!"

From beginning to end, Lu Zongdao didn't say a word, he sorted out all the major events that had happened in the past two years, only to suddenly find that almost all of them had Song Xiaoyi's black hand behind him, and the reason why Song Xiaoyi dared to do this must have been instructed by the official family.

The destruction of the country in Dali and the civil strife in the Liao Dynasty are almost all related to the black hand!

Lu Zongdao is not a fool, on the contrary, as a minister, he can see clearly that the reason why he brought Chen Lin to stay today is to persuade His Majesty to abandon the trail and fight with the prestige of a great country.

Zhao Zhen changed into a more casual Yanju suit, and his hair was tied up and fixed with an ordinary purple and gold crown, which was the most comfortable and casual, after all, he was meeting courtiers outside the court meeting.

However, his casualness was too casual compared to Lu Zongdao and Chen Lin's meticulousness.

But Lu Zongdao did not struggle with his clothes this time, but went straight to the point and said: "Your Majesty, the Liao Dynasty is in civil strife, and my Great Song Dynasty doesn't trace back to the origins of the Qing Dynasty, so why let the envoys stir up trouble in the middle?" This is not the way of a great power! ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "It seems that Lu Zhengzheng knows, no matter what, there are no outsiders here, I will make it clear to you, this matter has nothing to do with me." ”

Of course, it was to let Xia Zhu and Cai Boyu take the blame, it was originally their plan, and they did not participate, but they couldn't escape an indulgent mistake, Zhao Zhen decisively admitted it......

But Lu Zongdao shook his head slightly and said: "The minister came this time not to criticize His Majesty's actions, but to exhort Your Majesty, the emperor should use dignified funds to practice bright means, Your Majesty just thinks that the black hand is easy to use, so he relies too much, how do you know that this is an unscrupulous practice!" ”

After Lu Zongdao finished speaking, he looked straight at Chen Lin, and Chen Lin said helplessly: "The old slave also thinks that His Majesty uses the black hand too often, and I think it's nothing, but when I think of the words of the first emperor, I still think that Your Majesty should reduce the use of the black hand a little, and focus on listening to information. ”

Zhao Zhen sighed and said with a wry smile: "You don't know the eagerness in my heart!" I know you're worried about me becoming a single husband. The emperor was like this, and now you are the same, do I really make you so uneasy? ”

Lu Zongdao shook his head with a serious face and said, "It's not that I don't feel at ease with Your Majesty, but Your Majesty is different from us!" Since Your Majesty was a child, the minister has been His Majesty's teacher, and your perception of things in the world is different from that of ordinary people, from your views to ideas, which the minister has never seen, and the minister can't tell what the difference is...... But the first emperor knew but never told me to wait, but just told me to wait for the official family, the small way is not advisable, and the husband cannot do it alone! ”

Lu Zongdao's righteous words made Chen Lin on the side nod again and again, but Zhao Zhen's expressionless face turned up in his heart......
