The morning lecture passed quickly, Li Zhang's thousand-character text had already been memorized and written down silently, and now Hu Zhijiao began to teach him the Analects, although Li Zhang did not systematically study the Analects, but the principles are all the same, plus he did not live in vain for more than 30 years in his previous life, so his comprehension of the Analects is also extremely fast, and he can even tell some novel views, which makes Hu Zhijiao also a little impressed by Li Zhang, and his attitude is even more kind.

In the afternoon, it was still Linte, one of the five ghosts, the old man had completely ignored Li Zhang, and he had never cared about Li Zhang's study, and Li Zhang was happy about it, anyway, he didn't expect to learn too much, as long as he finished learning the basic Four Books and Five Classics, so as to figure out the general thoughts of the readers of this era.

After Lin Te finished the lecture and left, Li Zhang accompanied Zhao Zhen to play flying chess, until it was almost dark, Li Yonghe was taken to Zishan Hall, and then Zhao Zhen took Li Zhang's father and son through the palace, and finally came to the vertical arch hall again, here is the emperor's daily listening to politics, the place where the ministers are convened, and the emperor usually handles official business here, which is a more private place, and the great court meeting is held in the Zichen Hall next to it.

When Li Zhang and the three of them came to the vertical arch hall, they found that Zhao Heng had not yet arrived, but three tables were placed in the hall, and the main seat above must be Zhao Heng's, and there was one left and right, originally Li Zhang and Li Yonghe were going to sit together, but Zhao Zhen had to pull Li Zhang to sit together, thinking that this was a family banquet, Li Zhang did not refrain in the end, so Li Yong and a person sat opposite them.

After a few days of training, Li Yonghe, who entered the palace again, was not as timid as last time, and the official uniform on his body also made him a little more majestic, but his face was still a little apprehensive, after all, he was going to see the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty today.

"Will the mother come today?" Li Zhang asked Zhao Zhen in a low voice at this time, he and Zhao Heng were not familiar with each other, and he was worried that he wouldn't know what to say after meeting, if Liu E was here, he wouldn't have to worry about this problem.

"There are rules in the palace, even if you are the eldest lady, you can't meet outsiders casually, of course, cousin, you are young and nothing, but the uncle is an adult man, and he can't meet with the concubines in the palace!" Zhao Zhen also explained in a low voice at this time.

Li Zhang was also a little disappointed when he heard this, but it was normal to think about it, Liu E was the first woman in the history of the Song Dynasty to listen to the government, and even as the queen mother, she couldn't communicate with the minister face-to-face, and now as the queen, she naturally can't meet outsiders easily, of course, there are exceptions, such as the last time Liu E met with Lu Wu in private, and then she saw herself.

Originally, Li Zhang thought that Zhao Heng should come soon, but he didn't expect to wait until the time of the lamp, only to see two rows of palace ladies enter the main hall, and then an old man with white hair walked in with the support of two chamberlains.

"Father!" Zhao Zhen jumped up immediately when he saw the other party, and then rushed forward to support the other party, and Li Zhang and Li Yonghe also hurriedly stood up and saluted, and at the same time, Li Zhang was also secretly looking at the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, only to see that the other party was thin, his waist was also rickety, his face was full of wrinkles with a little old age spots, his eyes were dim, and he looked like a drooping old man, which really made people imagine that this was His Majesty the Emperor who controlled the Great Song Dynasty.

What Li Zhang never dreamed of was that when Zhao Zhen rushed forward to help Zhao Heng, he saw the other party look at Zhao Zhen a few times, and then asked with a puzzled face: "Huh?" Who are you? ”

"Father, I am your son!" Zhao Zhen was also very aggrieved when he heard this, but he seemed to be used to Zhao Heng's appearance, and although he was aggrieved at this time, he seemed very calm.

"Oh~, look at my brain, you are my Zhen'er, but why have you grown so big?" I saw Zhao Heng reaching out and touching Zhao Zhen's face at this time, and said with a look of pity on his face, he is such a son as Zhao Zhen, and he has regarded him as a treasure since he was a child, but the last sentence still exposed his confusion, how can a father not know the age of his son?

Li Zhang, who was standing, covered his face when he heard this, he had already heard that after Zhao Heng was sick, he would be confused for a while and sober for a while, and he didn't even know the people around him, originally he thought it was not so serious, but now it seems that Zhao Heng is simply Alzheimer's, no wonder he has to hand over government affairs to Liu E.

"Father, I'm ten years old." Zhao Zhen reluctantly explained again at this time.

"Ten years old? Time flies! Zhao Heng touched Zhao Zhen's head with an emotional expression at this time, and then he looked around with some confusion and said, "What am I doing here, what about your mother?" ”

"Father, why did you forget that your mother has found a long-lost relative, so you are here to feast on your uncle and cousin today!" Zhao Zhen pointed at Li Zhang and Li Yonghe at this time, and explained weakly.

Zhao Heng's Alzheimer's disease may not be too serious, of course, it may be that he will be more sober now, and when he heard his son's reminder, he finally remembered the purpose of coming today, and then slapped his forehead and said again with a smile: "I am really confused, I forgot such an important thing!" ”

Zhao Zhen saw that his father finally remembered, and he was also happy at the moment, and then helped him to the main seat, Li Zhang and Li Yonghe also immediately saluted: "Minister Li Yonghe and Li Zhang see Your Majesty!" ”

"No need to be polite, I also heard from the queen about you, and it's no wonder that I didn't pay attention to it before, so they suffered a lot outside!" At this time, Zhao Heng suddenly seemed to have become normal, and his speech became very organized, which made Li Zhang's father and son also a little surprised, and then said a few polite words, Zhao Heng let everyone sit down, and at the same time, the palace ladies also began to serve.

During this time, Li Zhang had lunch in the palace and had some understanding of the dishes in the palace, but when he saw the dishes sent today, he was still shocked, there are all the real delicacies of the mountains and seas, after all, compared to Zhao Zhen, the emperor who is not even willing to drink mutton soup, Zhao Heng knows how to enjoy it very much, and the palace with a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars will be built, and the food will not be wronged.

"You don't need to drink, do you?" Li Zhang saw that Gong E actually gave wine to himself and Zhao Zhen on the table, and he couldn't help but whisper at the moment, he didn't like to drink very much, and the amount of alcohol in his previous life was very shallow, known as "a cup of pour", whether it was liquor or beer, he poured it with a glass, and now although he has changed his body, he is still a little repulsed by wine.

"It's okay, let's just make a show, mainly my father and uncle drink." Zhao Zhen laughed in a low voice at this time.

"I don't think Your Majesty's illness is suitable for drinking bars?" At this time, Li Zhang looked at Zhao Heng and whispered again, he was confused like this, if he drank again, wouldn't he be confused and confused?

"There's no way, my father is a drunkard, and the eldest lady didn't allow him to drink anymore after he got sick, but I'm happy today, and I shouldn't blame the eldest lady for drinking less." Zhao Zhen spoke again at this time.

Li Zhang finally understood when he heard this, it was fake to dare Zhao Heng to invite their father and son to a banquet, and it was true that he wanted to take the opportunity to drink, it was really not easy for an emperor to do this job, but he was all senile, and he could still think of this way to drink, it seems that people who can be emperors are not simple characters.

At this moment, I saw Zhao Heng on the main seat holding a wine glass, and then laughed and said: "Originally, this reception banquet should have been held a long time ago, but because I was sick, it was delayed for a few days, and I will be fined three glasses first!" ”

Zhao Heng said and drank the wine glass, and then drank the remaining two glasses of wine very happily, which also confirmed Li Zhang's conjecture even more, Zhao Heng took this opportunity to drink, which also made him more relaxed, anyway, Zhao Heng came to drink, as long as he was happy.

Sure enough, after three glasses of wine, Zhao Heng's face became ruddy, and the smile on his face became brighter, and then he raised his glass again and said, "Li Aiqing, you have worked hard outside all these years, I will toast you again!" ”

Zhao Heng's words are quite normal, but as soon as his words came out, Li Zhang and Li Yonghe all looked at each other, because Zhao Heng's words were obviously said to Li Yonghe, but at this time he was facing Li Zhang, even if it was the first time they met, he shouldn't be unable to distinguish between Lao Tzu and his son, right?

"Father, this is my cousin Li Zhang next to me, and the one opposite is my uncle!" Zhao Zhen was still experienced, and at this time he immediately guessed that his father's foolish illness had been committed again, and patiently explained at the moment.

"Really?" Zhao Heng muttered to himself with some confusion when he heard this, then turned his head to look at Li Yonghe, and then asked a speechless question: "Who are you and why are you here?" ”

Li Zhang over there is about to go crazy, this Zhao Heng is also too demented, how can Liu E rest assured that he will come to meet the guest alone?

However, Li Yonghe replied very patiently: "Minister Li Yonghe, Your Majesty invites the minister to the banquet!" ”

"Oh~" Zhao Heng seemed to finally think about it at this time, and then patted his head again and raised his wine glass and said, "Li Aiqing, I salute you!" ”

There was silence in the hall again, and Li Zhang was about to cry at this time, because Zhao Heng was still holding a wine glass in front of him this time, while Li Yonghe on the opposite side was holding a wine glass but didn't know whether to drink it or not, and Zhao Zhen next to him also whispered painfully at this time: "I knew that I shouldn't have let my father drink, but now I'm more confused than usual!" ”

Zhao Heng is a gentleman, Li Zhang is a minister, he can't let Zhao Heng keep holding the wine glass, and in the end he can only hold the wine glass with a sad face and say, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

After Li Zhang finished speaking, he took the wine and drank it all, the wine of the Song Dynasty was mainly brewed wine, the degree was relatively low, but no matter how low it was, it was higher than beer, and the amount of alcohol in Li Zhang's body was not very good, and he felt hot on his face after a glass of wine, and his brain was a little dizzy.

I thought that it would be okay to drink a cup, but then Zhao Hengdi raised his glass one after another, and every time it was aimed at Li Zhang, and in the end, Li Zhang wondered if he did it on purpose? But even if Zhao Heng did it on purpose, he couldn't help it, he could only drink cup after cup, and he soon got drunk, and when Li Zhang woke up again, he found himself in a place that he couldn't think of anyway.
