Chapter 281: Liu E's Selfishness
Li Zhang used King Zhao Wuling's Hufu cavalry as an example to show Liu E the necessity of reform, hoping to persuade the other party. But Liu E said very calmly: "I naturally know the truth that change makes sense, firearms have appeared as early as the end of the Tang Dynasty, but they are carried forward in your hands, which is also a kind of change." ”
When he said this, he saw Liu E pause for a moment and then said: "But whether it is firearms or the army, although their changes have a great impact, they are mainly in the army, and they do not have much impact on the people, but the coins are different, if there is a problem with the coin, even if it is just a little problem, it may cause turmoil in the whole country, as the so-called people are water, water can carry boats, and can also overturn boats, so I dare not take this risk." ”
Liu E actually has a lot of things to say, such as she took over this country from Zhao Heng, although on the surface, she has firmly grasped the power of the court, but only she knows that those ministers in the court are not really submissive to her, especially now that Zhao Zhen is growing up day by day, these ministers are also waiting for themselves to make mistakes, as long as they let them catch them, they may force her to give Zhao Zhen at any time, so she does not dare to take risks.
Li Zhang hadn't thought of the above before, but after all, he was one of the people who knew Liu E best, so he quickly woke up at this time and understood the concerns in Liu E's heart, which made him sigh, since Liu E was worried that the numismatic reform would lead to the power in his hands, I am afraid that no matter what he said, it would be useless.
"I'm still too young, some things are not well thought out, and I still look far away!" In the end, Li Zhang could only make an appearance of being persuaded by the other party, and apologized to the other party at the moment.
"It's not a big deal for young people to make mistakes, and you can always keep state affairs in mind, and the mourning family is also very happy, and if you have any suggestions in the future, you can boldly put them forward, and don't learn from some people, and hide everything in your heart and refuse to say it." Seeing that Li Zhang no longer insisted, Liu E also nodded and smiled, and finally she didn't forget to complain to Li Zhang about the practices of some people in the court.
Li Zhang heard this and even claimed yes, and then talked to the other party about some firearms supervisors, then said goodbye and left, and waited until out of the vertical arch hall, he sighed, before he only thought that paper money was of great significance to the Great Song Dynasty, but he did not think about the interests of all aspects involved, and the biggest conflict of interest is that Liu E is unwilling to risk the imperial power in his hands, can he only watch Jiaozi repeat the short-lived fate in history?
Thinking about Jiaozi in his mind, Li Zhang was not in the mood to return to the firearms prison, just thought that he hadn't seen Zhao Zhen for a few days, so he turned around and went to Jingfu Palace, Li Zhang used to go directly to the palace to find Zhao Zhen, but now Zhao Zhen is married, so Li Zhang also asked people to report first, so that Zhao Zhen can be prepared.
"Cousin, what else do you want people to report, can't you just come in?" Zhao Zhen also ran out quickly after receiving the news, and immediately grabbed Li Zhang when he saw it.
"That's not good, if you bump into the queen, wouldn't it break the rules?" Li Zhang explained with a smile that the concubines in the palace can't be casual with outsiders, even if it's Liu E, they need to listen to the government.
"What's this, it's not like you haven't seen them, Miaoyuan is here today, and we're playing cards together." After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he pulled Li Zhang and walked inside, ignoring the rules of the palace, and Li Zhang had no choice but to follow him into the main hall.
"Cousin, come on!" As soon as she entered the hall, she saw Miao Yuan waving at Li Zhang, and next to her, there was Zhang who had met last time, but now she was already the queen.
"See cousin!" But even if she was the queen, the Zhang family did not dare to slack off on Li Zhang, and at this time she also stood up and saluted, looking at Li Zhang with a little gratitude in her eyes, because she knew that she had no hope of becoming the queen, but because of this cousin's words, the queen mother changed her mind, and the most promising Guo and Wang were defeated, but became the final winner.
"The queen is gracious!" Li Zhang also hurriedly returned the salute at this time, Zhang's age is actually not big, and she is more slack than Zhao Zhen, but she is very generous, since she became the queen, she and Zhao Zhen have also gotten along very harmoniously, even if she knows that Zhao Zhen loves Wang more, but she has never shown jealousy, and this alone is stronger than Guo's.
"Queen, my cousin is not an outsider, if you need your cousin's help in the future, you must not be polite!" Zhao Zhen smiled again at this time, and after speaking, he pulled Li Zhang to sit down and play cards, this card was taught by Li Zhang to their brothers and sisters, Li Zhang used to play with them, but now with the Zhang family, they are finally not afraid of no one to play.
For Li Zhang's arrival, Zhang's was a little restrained at first, but she was actually a lively character, and soon after getting acquainted with Li Zhang, the four of them also played a double rise, Zhao Zhen played cards and shouted Xing, and the Jingfu Hall was also very lively.
Halfway through the game, Li Zhang found that Wang and Guo were also here, and the two were stunned when they saw Li Zhang here, and when they just wanted to retreat, Zhao Zhen asked them to sit behind him to help him look at the cards, so there were two more people in the hall.
However, Li Zhang found that Wang's and Guo's attitudes towards him were completely different, Wang's and Zhang's were both a little grateful to him, but Guo's was unhappy with him, but this is not surprising, after all, Guo's was the most hopeful to sit on the throne of the queen, but in the end he was disturbed by Li Zhang.
In contrast, Wang's hope of sitting on the queen's throne is not great, and there is even the danger of being kicked out of the palace, thanks to Li Zhang's peace, which allowed her to stay by Zhao Zhen's side, even if she can't be the queen, but she also has the title of a concubine, and Zhao Zhen's favor for her is far more than the other two, so she is also very satisfied, if she can give birth to a boy and a half girl for Zhao Zhen in the future, her position in the palace will also be completely stabilized.
Li Zhang didn't play for too long, because he came to Zhao Zhen because he had something to discuss with him, so after playing a few games, he offered to let Wang and Guo replace him and Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen also knew that Li Zhang must have something, so he nodded and agreed, and then came to the side hall with Li Zhang to taste tea.
"I went to find the eldest lady just now." Li Zhang took a sip of tea and then got straight to the point.
"Is it because of the firearms warden?" Zhao Zhen also asked immediately when he heard this, because he knew that Li Zhang had been busy with the firearms supervisor recently, so he also thought that Li Zhang was looking for Liu E because of the firearms supervisor.
"No, it's because of Jiaozi." Li Zhang sighed at this time, and then told him the reason why he saw Liu E and the conversation between the two just now, but he still concealed some things, such as the real reason why Liu E was unwilling to take risks.
