"Of course it's greasy, if you agree to this condition, I'm afraid you'll be doing Ding Wei a great favor!" Li Zhang also said with a solemn face at this time, he felt something was wrong after listening to Lei Yungong's words just now, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood the trickiness, so he spoke first and reminded Zhao Zhen.

"Cousin, tell me quickly, what kind of conspiracy do they have?" Zhao Zhen asked again at the moment.

"Just now Lei Yungong only said that the court meeting of Shuowang in these two days will be listened to by the queen mother, and it will be divided into two halls, but although the court meeting in these two days is important, it is the Chang Dynasty who really handles government affairs every day, but he didn't even mention it, if the queen mother can't participate in the court, I'm afraid that all the power of the court will fall into the hands of Ding Wei!" Li Zhang said with a serious expression at this time.

Ding Wei's ambition is really big enough, of course, Liu E will definitely not agree to his method of listening to politics, so he let Lei Yungong deceive Zhao Zhen, who doesn't understand anything, if Zhao Zhen agrees, he can write Zhao Zhen's words as a holy decree, so as to force Liu E to commit it, even if Liu E does not agree, but it can also morally suppress Liu E's prestige.

"What a sinister villain!" Zhao Zhen was also taken aback after listening to Li Zhang's analysis, and then scolded Ding Wei, he was too well protected by Zhao Heng and Liu E before, and he never thought that this kind of conspiracy would be used on him, and it was the courtiers below who calculated themselves.

"You are now the emperor, and this kind of thing will definitely happen often in the future, in fact, this is not a conspiracy, it can only be said to be an intrigue in the court, you have to slowly learn to adapt!" Li Zhang also sighed at this time and patted Zhao Zhen's shoulder and said, Zhao Zhen, who is just eleven years old, should not actually come into contact with these, but whoever makes him the emperor, some things must also be prepared in advance.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but feel bitter when he heard Li Zhang's words, he thought that being an emperor was just a little busy, reviewing the folds every day, if there was anything undecided, he would convene the ministers to discuss, but he didn't expect that it was not easy to be an emperor, no wonder the eldest lady was so tired every day.

Early the next morning, Li Zhang came to the palace again, checked the stored potatoes, now the weather is gradually warmer, and after a while it will be the season of cultivation, so these potatoes must not be lost, Li Zhang also comes almost every day, just wait for the climate to sprout, and then you can plant it.

However, just when Li Zhang checked the potatoes and was about to go to Zhao Zhen, he was suddenly intercepted by someone sent by Liu E, and then took him to the Vertical Arch Palace, and when Li Zhang came here, he happened to meet Ding Wei and a tall old man walking out, this old man Li Zhang had also seen before, that is, one of the ministers summoned by Zhao Heng before his death, Li Zhang did not know the identity of the other party at that time, and now he already knows that this person is the privy envoy Cao Yu.

The privy envoy is also one of the prime ministers, in charge of the military aircraft, and his status is only below Ding, but for Cao to use this person, it is difficult to say whether he is a good person or a bad person, when he was young, Cao used to be a janissary in the palace, and later when he was in the alliance of the Yuanyuan, Cao used to serve as an envoy and risked death to go to the Liao army camp, and he negotiated the 300,000 yuan of the year every Chinese New Year's Eve, and later he also took advantage of this merit to rise to the top and became one of the prime ministers of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, after Cao Yu became the prime minister, he began to become very arrogant, and he was also very close to Ding Wei, but in general, he was not as unscrupulous as Ding Wei, and he was also Liu E's confidant, it can be said that he had a good relationship with Liu E and Ding Wei, and it is estimated that this is one of the main reasons why he can always serve as a secret envoy.

When Li Zhang saw the two prime ministers coming out, he immediately stepped aside, intending to let them go first, but he didn't expect Ding Wei to stop suddenly when he saw him, and then looked at him with interest and said, "The future is terrifying!" ”

After Ding Wei finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Li Zhang, and turned around and left, but Cao Yu looked Li Zhang up and down a few times, and then left with a smile, which made Li Zhang also scared into a cold sweat, Ding Wei must have known that he ruined his good deeds yesterday, although he didn't embarrass himself now, but I'm afraid that in the other party's heart, he has already been blacklisted, as long as there is a chance, Ding Wei will definitely not let himself go.

With a somewhat apprehensive mood, Li Zhang stepped into the vertical arch hall, and soon saw Liu E who was reviewing the folds behind the screen, and then two chamberlains took down the screen, because they had to see Ding Wei and these ministers before, so they needed the screen, but they didn't need to see Li Zhang.

Speaking of which, as long as she sees Liu E in the Vertical Arch Palace, she is almost always reviewing the folds, but it is not easy to think about her, such a big empire, almost all the burdens fall on her shoulders as a woman, and she naturally does not dare to relax in the slightest.

"Did you see Ding?" Liu E asked without raising her head, because she was already familiar with Li Zhang's footsteps, and she didn't need to look up to know that he had come in.

"See." Li Zhang replied honestly.

"Did he say anything?" Liu E put down the pen at this time, and then looked at Li Zhang with interest and asked.

"He said the words 'the afterlife is terrifying.'" Li Zhang replied honestly again.

"Hehe, nine out of ten sentences of Ding Wei's words can't be believed, but his sentence is true, if you hadn't reminded me yesterday, I'm afraid Zhen'er would have fallen for him, although I won't agree, but it will let outsiders see that our emperor has different opinions, which will affect the stability of the court."

Liu E smiled again at this time, looking at Li Zhang's eyes were also full of appreciation, at the beginning she just felt that she was in love with Li Zhang, so she recognized this relative, but she didn't expect Li Zhang's performance to be far beyond her expectations, not only to offer potatoes such an important food, but also to perform well in power schemes, with him by Zhao Zhen's side, Liu E also felt a lot more relieved.

"The Queen Mother is serious, this is what I should do!" Li Zhang immediately said very modestly.

"Don't learn what others call the Queen Mother, this title always makes me feel old, you are still the same as Zhen'er, call me the eldest lady!" Liu E heard Li Zhang's change of mouth to call herself the Queen Mother, but suddenly her face turned blank and said, Li Zhang used to call her the eldest lady, which made her feel very kind, but now that the title has changed, it seems a little distant.

"Yes, big lady!" Li Zhang immediately changed his words, in fact, he didn't like to change his name, but there was no way, everyone else had changed his words, if he didn't change his words, it would seem a little different, and maybe he would be used as a handle.

"By the way, now that the weather is getting warmer, shouldn't potatoes be planted as well?" Liu E also thought about potatoes at this time, and asked immediately.

"The eldest lady is right, I was also about to ask the eldest lady, where are you going to plant potatoes?" Li Zhang immediately replied again, last year's potatoes were so small, and he could plant them with a casual loosening of the soil in his own yard, but this year there are a lot of potatoes, if the plant spacing is a little larger, it is estimated that it will be no problem to plant a few acres, which requires a special field.

"I'm also thinking about this issue, in addition to you and me, only Your Majesty knows about potatoes, and this matter is very important, before the official promotion, I don't plan to let too many people know, so the cultivation of potatoes must be more secretive, of course, there are safety issues to consider, so it's really a little embarrassing." Liu E couldn't help frowning at this time and said, not only if she wanted to keep it secret, but also to consider the issue of safety, and it also had to be suitable for potato cultivation, these conditions added together, and she couldn't think of a suitable place for a while.

"Auntie, I think the place in the palace is quite large, and the potatoes only need a few acres of land in the first half of the year, how about planting them in the palace if they can't do it?" Li Zhang suddenly opened his mouth at this time and proposed, although the palace of the Great Song Dynasty is the smallest in all dynasties, a few acres of land can still be vacated, especially the imperial garden in the palace, he has also seen it, and a few acres can be leveled out of any piece of land.

"The palace is quite safe, but there are too many people in the palace, as the so-called people are mixed, and many people outside like to stare at the palace, a little action can't hide from people at all, if you really plant potatoes in the palace, I'm afraid the next day will spread all over the city!" Liu E sighed at this time and said, the palace seems to have strict rules, but in fact, there are holes everywhere, and any kind of news can be spread.

Li Zhang also felt reasonable after hearing this, but if it didn't work in the palace, then he could only find it outside the palace, and definitely not in the city, and outside the city, he was not familiar with it, and the only field he knew was the few acres of river beach land in Huyan's house, so he couldn't make any useful suggestions on this matter.

"How long do you think potato planting will have to wait?" I saw Liu E pondering for a moment, and suddenly raised her head and asked Li Zhang again.

"This ...... Although the weather is getting warmer now, we are afraid that we will encounter a cold spring, and we don't have many potatoes, and we can't withstand such a toss, so I plan to wait until the weather is completely warmer before planting, so it may have to wait until mid-March. Li Zhang also pondered for a moment and replied, the inverted spring cold is also a kind of weather cold, if it is serious, it may freeze the crops just planted to death, so he does not dare to take risks.

"So there are still a few days, so let's think about it carefully in the next few days, and try to find a suitable place to plant!" Liu E immediately spoke again, all her energy in the past few days has been focused on Zhao Heng's future affairs and how to stabilize the court, so she has no time to think about potatoes at all.

Li Zhang also nodded when he heard this, and then he looked at Liu E, who looked a little haggard, and immediately thought of Lu Wu's words before, so he said: "Auntie, you are now maintaining the safety of the world, so you must also pay more attention to rest!" ”

"Hehe, you have a heart, but I know my body, you go and accompany Zhen'er more!" Liu E also showed a warm smile when she heard Li Zhang's words, and then waved her hand to let Li Zhang retreat.
