Tokyo Bianliang, five years is not long, not short, the population of Tokyo has increased greatly in the past five years, making the entire capital more prosperous, but too much population has also led to too crowded in the city, and can only expand outward, which also makes the original city wall of the capital outside also become a residential area, and even a few more satellite cities around, and last year after statistics, the long-term population of the capital has been nearly two million.

Approaching August, the capital has also entered the autumn weather, Li Zhang came to his small garden after breakfast, took the kettle to water the flowers and plants in the garden, after the scorching heat, these flowers and plants also ushered in a new growing season, especially the various chrysanthemums unique to Tokyo City, it is the season when it is blooming, and the most important thing is that the word chrysanthemum in this era is still very pure, unlike the later generations with too much pollution.

Since Lu Yijian gave Li Zhang a warning before his death, Li Zhang has completely escaped from the court in recent years, and even the medical school has been handed over to others to take care of, and he spends most of his time at home, either raising flowers and plants, or going to teach a few classes to the children, and his life is very leisurely.

For Li Zhang's move to leave the court, Zhao Zhen was also very puzzled at first, although he has grown into a suitable emperor, but he is still very dependent on Li Zhang, and when he encounters some difficult things to decide, he is also used to discussing with Li Zhang, but now Li Zhang is unwilling to participate in the court, which makes Zhao Zhen also very uncomfortable.

However, Li Zhang specially chatted with Zhao Zhen a few times, expressing his idea of wanting to rest for a few years, especially in the past few years, he had too many things to do and had no time to spend with his family, and his family occupied a very important position in Li Zhang's heart.

Zhao Zhen grew up with Li Zhang, naturally knew the status of his family in Li Zhang's heart, and he also knew that since he ascended the throne, Li Zhang almost did his best for him, when Liu E was alive, he had to deal with Liu E, and later after he became in power, Li Zhang had to exhaust his efforts to help him promote the development of the Great Song Dynasty, it can be said that the Great Song Dynasty has the current grand occasion, and Li Zhang wants to account for half of the credit.

In addition, Zhao Zhen also knew that Li Zhang was not interested in power, and he did all of the above to help himself, and now Li Zhang proposed to rest, which made Zhao Zhen unable to refuse, and finally could only acquiesce in this matter.

"My husband's flowers are really good, and the few pots of chrysanthemums I gave to my mother two days ago also made my mother praise a lot, saying that the flowers you raised are almost comparable to the Queen Mother!" At this moment, I suddenly heard a crisp voice.

Li Zhang raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw Miao Yuan standing outside the flower garden at a glance, only to see that Miao Yuan had already faded away from the youthfulness of a girl and turned into a mature young woman, but the years did not seem to leave any traces on her face, but a little more mature and beautiful.

"My aunt's flowers are much stronger than mine, and I have just started raising flowers and watering for three years." Li Zhang saw Miao Yuan and greeted with a smile, he and Miao Yuan were already a real husband and wife, and Qing Ori had also acquiesced, the two now have two sons and a daughter, although many people in the nobility knew that the child was Li Zhang's, but no one dared to say more.

Miao Yuan also stepped forward at this time, only to see Li Zhang pick a hosta flower and put it on her head, although the two are already old husbands and wives, but the relationship is getting deeper and deeper, which also makes Miao Yuan always believe that he is not looking at the wrong person.

"Is it pretty?" Miao Yuan let Li Zhang put the hosta flower in his bun, and then asked Li Zhang with a somewhat coquettish face.

"Good-looking, people are better than flowers, this sentence is simply made for you!" Li Zhang immediately said with a smile, after so many years of husband and wife, he also comes with sweet words, don't underestimate the charm of language, especially between husband and wife, occasionally saying some sweet words can make the relationship between the two parties more stable, of course, the most important thing is sweet words and no money.

Sure enough, hearing Li Zhang's praise, Miao Yuan also showed a shy expression, but he still retorted: "I'm not serious, I'm an old woman, how can I be as good-looking as a twenty-eight-year-old girl?" ”

"This is different, every age has the beauty of every age, I remember the beauty of your twenty-eight years, and the beauty of the present is also in my eyes!" Li Zhang said softly again, which also made Miaoyuan's heart bloom, and he couldn't wake up after falling into this sweetness for a long time.

After a long while, Miao Yuan suddenly remembered that he had come to Li Zhang today to find something, so he stood up straight and said: "By the way, the imperial court is going to use troops against Liao, such a big matter, don't you want to get involved, husband?" ”

"Hehe, is Your Majesty looking for you to test me?" Li Zhang immediately guessed something when he heard Miaoyuan's words, and immediately said with a smile, Miaoyuan entered the palace yesterday, and today she came to her to ask about the attack on Liao, and she usually doesn't care much about the affairs of the court, so there is a problem at first glance.

"Got it, you still ask?" Miao Yuan glanced at Li Zhang, "Yesterday I accompanied my mother into the palace to visit the Queen Mother, but the eldest brother deliberately found me, I think his pressure is also quite great, after all, the Liao State is the old enemy of our Great Song Dynasty, and now if you want to destroy the Liao State in a war, this whole pressure falls on the shoulders of the eldest brother, except for the husband, I am afraid that no one can help him share it." ”

"He is the emperor, this is his business, and those ministers in the court are not dry, they are originally going to share the emperor's worries, he is under a lot of pressure because he can't let go, as long as he can get through this hurdle, no matter how big things he encounters in the future, it will be just a trivial matter for him, and the emperor's temperament is like this!" Li Zhang said unceremoniously.

The attack on Liao has long been noisy, and even the newspapers have been discussing this upcoming national war for half a month, Li Zhang naturally knew about it, but he has not been involved, even if Zhao Zhen invited him to the palace to discuss, he refused, but Zhao Zhen still did not give up, and even asked Miao Yuan to test his attitude.

"That's what I said, but I see that the eldest brother is also trying his best to attack Liao, according to the chamberlain next to him, the eldest brother has not slept well for several days, and when I see him, his eyes are bloodshot, and even his sideburns have gray hair, which makes people feel distressed to look at!" Miao Yuan's eyes were also slightly red at the end, she had been dependent on Zhao Zhen since she was a child, and her relationship was the deepest, so it was naturally very sad to see Zhao Zhen tired herself like that.

Hearing Miaoyuan say this, Li Zhang was also a little worried, Zhao Zhen's health has not been very good in recent years, especially last year, he had a serious illness, thinking that Zhao Zhen only lived for more than fifty years in history, which made Li Zhang frown.
