On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, also known as the Shangyuan Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival in the Great Song Dynasty, on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the envoys and people of various countries gathered in the royal street, and took out the lighting made by themselves.

When it comes to Liao, it is much shabby, and the national strength is getting weaker, and there is even the danger of dying at any time.

However, with the arrival of Zhao Yu, all this changed, and the Jurchen side stopped, which also restored some vitality to Shangjing.

In particular, Zhao Yu opened the mansion for free for the people to visit the beautiful scenery of the ice sculptures, which added a lot of vitality to this festival in Beijing.

Now in the capital, Zhao Yu has undoubtedly become the hottest topic among officials and ordinary people.

At Xiao Yiyi's suggestion, even the Empress Dowager Xiao came in micro-service, if not for anything else, just to feel the feeling of being happy with the people.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor came, of course Zhao Yu couldn't let them squeeze together with the people, but fortunately, he had already prepared and specially opened a tall building for the Queen Mother and the Emperor, standing here you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire mansion.

Standing on the high-rise building, the crystal clear ice and snow sculptures, under the background of the lights, are full of fantasy colors, making people feel like they are in a fairy tale world.

Empress Dowager Xiao and a harem concubine only watched it fascinated, and it took a while to sober up.

Empress Dowager Xiao immediately beckoned Zhao Yu over: "You kid, why didn't you take it out earlier if you have this ability, no matter what the mourning family, you have to decorate the palace like this, no, it has to be more beautiful than you here."

"Don't worry, the queen mother, after the craftsmen have practiced their hands here, they will go to the palace to carve snow scenes for you, and they will definitely be a hundred times stronger than me here."

"Sister-in-law, I heard that you have set a very high price for these craftsmen, is it possible that you will have to pay these craftsmen for decorating my palace?"

"Your Majesty, people's creativity is infinite, only the human brain power is fully developed, will the most ideal effect be achieved, the minister just uses silver money to stimulate their imagination and motivation, speaking of which, the minister has to say Brother Xiao Wang, the minister thinks that Brother Xiao Wang has done a good job in this regard."

"In the past few days, Brother Xiao Wang came to the minister, and after learning about some of the ministers' practices in Youzhou, he often said that he should put the interests of the people first, because only when the people are well, will they serve His Majesty more loyally."

The sedan chair carries people, Xiao Fengxian did ask Zhao Yu about some changes, but the premise of his so-called changes is that they must not touch the interests of these nobles, and they have nothing to do with ordinary people.

But Zhao Yu said this in front of the emperor, which undoubtedly raised Xiao Fengxian to a new level.

After listening to Zhao Yu's words, the old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and he didn't even dare to say it, and secretly cast a grateful look at Zhao Yu in private.

Emperor Tianzuo thought that Zhao Yu was obedient, and sighed slightly: "If all the civil and military generals can serve the country and the people like Fengxian, I can sit back and relax."

Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes flickered, and after glaring at Zhao Yu, she said to Emperor Tianzuo: "After the Shangyuan Festival, the imperial court should also be on the right track, is this about to start the change of the law that the emperor said?" ”

Although it is a bit inappropriate to talk about political affairs on a day like today, when the old lady asked, Emperor Tianzuo still nodded and said: "Yes, Queen Mother, the sons have already discussed with Fengxian, and they will start to clear the land after the year, redistribute the land to the people who have no land to plant, and at the same time exempt some harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and strive to prosper my Daliao within five years."

Zhao Yu was a little inexplicable by Empress Dowager Xiao just now, and vaguely understood in his heart, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

As for Emperor Tianzuo's impassioned speech, Zhao Yu just wanted to say, buddy, you'd better go back and wash and sleep! I am not right, and I still want to govern the country well, what do you want!

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded, turned her head to Xiao Fengxian and said: "Although the harem is not allowed to participate in politics, this matter is too important, Fengxian must be mentally prepared, let go and do it boldly, and His Majesty will support you."

Xiao Fengxian was overjoyed, this old woman had always been unkind to herself, and it is estimated that if she hadn't brought Zhao Yu, a kid, she wouldn't have taken care of herself!

Immediately no longer hesitated, leaned over and knelt down, and said loudly: "Please rest assured that the Queen Mother and Your Majesty will not hesitate to do anything for my great Liao Zhongxing."

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded, and then turned her head to Zhao Yu and said: "Listen to Yiyi, you ordered someone to carve a thing called mahjong, take the mourning family to see it, this harem is really boring, and it is very difficult to find someone to talk to the mourning family."

Although the scenery is beautiful, after all, it is too cold, and Emperor Tianzuo and the others also want to leave.

Everyone is also very curious, how did Zhao Yu's kid's head grow? How can anything strange be made?

Don't talk about mahjong, just talk about hot pot, now it has quietly become popular in Shangjing, two people meet on the street, if you don't eat hot pot at home today, you are embarrassed to say hello...

When I came to Zhao Yu's inner house, the table of the eight immortals in the hall had already been placed, and there was a pair of mahjong carved from ivory on it, but the time was too short and the carving was a little rough, but even so, mahjong was definitely a new thing for people in this era.

Zhao Yu asked Empress Dowager Xiao and Emperor Tianzuo to sit down, and the remaining two were naturally him and Xiao Yiyi.

The three-color poor beard, easy to learn, it didn't take long for the Empress Dowager Xiao and Emperor Tianzuo to learn, not only them, but even the concubines and Xiao Fengxian and other courtiers who were watching from the back learned.

Zhao Yu accepted it when he saw it, and immediately hinted that Xiao Yiyi would give up his position, and it would be filled by Emperor Tianzuo's newly sealed concubine Brother Xiao and another concubine, Brother Xiao is Xiao Fengxian's sister-in-law, and the other concubine is also a concubine who is very favored in front of Emperor Tianzuo.

Of course, Zhao Yu and Xiao Yiyi can't be idle, one stands next to the Empress Dowager Xiao, and the other stands next to Emperor Tianzuo, pointing out the cards from time to time.

Unintentionally, Zhao Yu suddenly felt that someone was secretly watching him, and his eyes swept over, but it was Yelu Aoluhan, the king of Jin.

His eyes when he looked at Zhao Yu were a little complicated, with appreciation, disgust, and even a little pity.

Zhao Yu knew that the King of Jin was better with the concubine Xiao Xian, so he simply didn't hug his thighs, anyway, no one could say how long the Liao State would be able to survive, and looking at Emperor Tianzuo's body, it would definitely be no problem to rely on Huang for the country, so it was better to have a good relationship with him.

The sound of mahjong seems to be able to cover everything, but what is going on in a person's heart, I am afraid that only he knows it.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to pour water, Xiao Yiyi approached Zhao Yu and whispered quickly: "My aunt told you not to follow Xiao Feng to change the law first!" ”

Xiao Yiyi said this quickly, and returned to behind the Empress Dowager Xiao after speaking, the two are quasi-husband and wife, and it is normal to be intimate.

It was Xiao Yiyi's words that suddenly made Zhao Yu understand why Empress Dowager Xiao was glaring at him just now...
