Chapter 481: The Emperor Is Really Tired
What to worry about? Zhao Zhen couldn't help but ask again at this time.
"Your Majesty, it may be that I think too much, but I think that if I were Li Yuanhao, maybe I would choose to avoid the edge, such as waiting for Xingzhou City to move west with the population, so that most of the strength can be preserved, and when we relax, he is likely to make a comeback!" Cao Wei immediately expressed his worries.
"You said that Li Yuanhao had the courage to throw away Xingzhou and escape?" Zhao Zhen also said in a shocked voice when he heard this, not only him, but Lu Yijian next to him also showed a surprised look, because this possibility was too small, but Li Zhang showed a thoughtful expression.
"Your Majesty doesn't know, although the minister has not seen Li Yuanhao, but he has collected some information about this person back then, originally I thought that he would be crippled after being bombed by Li Duwei, but I didn't expect that he not only did not sink, but cheered up and almost could unify the party again, so it can be seen that Li Yuanhao can bend and stretch, and he also clearly knows the gap between the party and the Great Song Dynasty, and in the face of a doomed war, he chose to retreat is also a very wise act!" Cao Wei also spoke very cautiously at this time.
Hearing Cao Wei's words mention Li Zhang, Zhao Zhen and Lu Yijian also looked at him, which made Li Zhang also immediately speak: "Li Yuanhao is a very terrible person, if he really makes the decision to withdraw from Xingzhou, I won't be surprised." ”
"If that's the case, then now that Zhao Zhen is not moving, wouldn't it be worse if Li Yuanhao on the other side of the strait took the opportunity to escape?" Zhao Zhen also believed Li Zhang's words more, and said with an anxious look at this time.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the winter in the northwest is even more terrible, it is impossible for Li Yuanhao to escape from Xingzhou at this time, and Zhao Zhen is on the other side of the river, if Li Yuanhao has any big moves on his side, he can't hide it from his eyes, so even if Li Yuanhao wants to escape, it will not be possible until next spring." Cao Wei opened his mouth again at this time to explain, and Li Zhang and Lu Yijian also deeply agreed with this.
Zhao Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then discussed with Cao Wei about the possible next battle, after all, he was still young, and it was the first time he had experienced a war, so he was a little unbreathable, and he still couldn't rest assured that he didn't ask about some things.
After asking about the war, Zhao Zhen asked Cao Wei to step down, and then discussed government affairs with Lu Yijian, while Li Zhang has been accompanying him, but he has never interfered much in government affairs, and only when Zhao Zhen asks, he will express some of his own opinions.
In the end, Lu Yijian also retreated, and only Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang were left in the hall, at this time Zhao Zhen also showed a somewhat tired expression and said: "It's so tiring to be an emperor, there are so many things to worry about every day, I feel like I can't hold it anymore!" ”
Looking at Zhao Zhen holding his head and having a headache, Li Zhang smiled calmly and said: "In his position, seek his own government, let him do his duty, you are the emperor, the co-lord of the world, naturally there are all aspects of things you need to worry about, but now the main thing is that you have just been in charge of the government, and you are not too familiar with the ministers and government affairs, so there are so many things to worry about yourself, and when you are familiar, just hand over the special things to the special ministers to do, you only need to control the overall situation, and it will be much easier at that time." ”
"But...... I remember that the eldest lady is not like this, she seems to like to deal with everything by herself, and many people in the court also praise the eldest lady for being very diligent, and the eldest lady also governs the country very well, I hand over everything to the minister, will there be any problems? Zhao Zhen hesitated when he heard Li Zhang's words and asked.
"I don't want you to be like the Queen Mother, although this does have benefits, such as centralizing power, and the grasp of the government is more refined, but it also takes a lot of time and energy, you look at the eldest lady since she was in power, the whole person is aging rapidly, although you are young, but if you consume energy like the eldest lady, I am afraid it will ......"
Li Zhang didn't say anything more in the end, although there were only two of them in the hall, but now that Zhao Zhen is the emperor after all, some of the more taboo words are still inconvenient to say, otherwise it will be easy to cause trouble if they are heard.
Zhao Zhen nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, indeed, when Liu E first came to power, he actually looked very young, and even just looked like a middle-aged lady, but in just ten years, Liu E has already aged and is not looking, and if he is also pro-family, I am afraid it will be difficult to live long.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen also looked at Li Zhang and smiled: "Thank you cousin for the reminder, I will pay attention to it in the future, but when it comes to the eldest lady, how are the preparations for the burial, this matter has always been your cousin's responsibility, I am very relieved!" ”
"The burial has been prepared, and now we are waiting for the day of burial to come, and then Your Majesty will personally send the Queen Mother to the imperial mausoleum, and it may take three or four days to come back." Li Zhang immediately replied at this time that his main energy during this time was also focused on Liu E's funeral, because the spirit had been suspended for a long time, so the funeral was also very well prepared.
Zhao Zhen also nodded when he heard this, although Liu E was not his biological mother, but after all, she had the grace of nurturing and teaching, especially since she did not kill her biological mother, which gave them the day of mother-son reunion, which is also one of the main reasons why Zhao Zhen is grateful to her.
"I will definitely go on the day of the burial, and the day before yesterday I heard my mother say that she also wants to send a big lady, so I will invite her to go with the little lady and others!" Zhao Zhen spoke again at the moment, his mother Li Shunrong has been respected as the queen mother, but compared to Liu E, the queen mother Li is a quiet and virtuous character, usually stays in the palace and does not see outsiders, and never participates in court politics, which also makes many ministers breathe a sigh of relief.
"No problem, I'll arrange it then!" Li Zhang nodded immediately, but when he said this, he suddenly showed a hesitant expression, and only after a while did he speak, "But before the Queen Mother's burial, there is still a very important matter that has not been determined, and now those officials of the Ministry of Rites are also quarrelling, I guess it will be in front of you in the end." ”
"What's the matter?" Zhao Zhen also rubbed the temples on both sides of his head with a headache when he heard this, Liu E had too many transgressions during her lifetime, which also made her funeral have a lot of controversy, for which he had listened to the quarrels of the officials of the Ministry of Rites more than once, and thought that he would be buried in a few days, but he didn't expect that there would be such a problem in the end.
"This matter is still related to the Taimiao." Li Zhang also smiled bitterly at this time.
