Privy council.

Because of Zhao Puren's presence in the Privy Council, today's Privy Council has become the real decision-making yamen of the Great Song Dynasty, "in charge of the military affairs, military defense, border preparation, and military orders, and the decrees of the army, and the secret orders are issued to govern by Zuo Bang." ”

Zhao Pu sat on the chair with a calm expression, and his subordinates reported the affairs of all parts of the country one by one, and then conveyed the instructions one after another with ease, and the efficiency was so high that it could brighten the eyes of a blind dog.

And the people in the Privy Council have obviously been surprised by this, this Zhao Pu is simply a monster, once his brain has become reliable and thorough, he will naturally become more and more respectful to this Shangguan.

"That's all for today's matter, everyone is scattered, let's get busy, Yintai Division has been paying attention to a little recently, Meng Chang has not been very honest in recent times, maybe he has to scale Fan Bian, and he must prepare money and food."

"Yes."

Everyone dispersed according to the words, Zhao Pu also stretched his waist, planning to go home and sleep well, recently married a concubine in the ninth room, the little goblin kung fu is very good, he feels that his old waist is about to be squeezed dry.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency? Adults, please stay. ”

Zhao Pu turned around and found that it was an eight or nine-year-old little doll who stopped him, which made him frown slightly, the entire Privy Council is so big that naturally only Sun Yue, who was newly admitted to Tongju this year, is said to be very smart, but Zhao Pu doesn't like him very much, in his opinion, the so-called Tongju is a genius or not, it is all, and the governance of the world depends on solid experience and experience. He Zhao Pu is known as half of the Analects to rule the world, but these so-called talented Confucians in the officialdom, who can play him?

I couldn't help frowning and asked, "Something?" ”

"My lord, there is something I want to discuss with my lord, I wonder if my lord can take a step to speak?"

Zhao Pu's eyebrows furrowed deeper when he heard this, this is also the reason why he doesn't like those so-called geniuses, he is used to smooth sailing along the way, and it is inevitable that he is sometimes disproportionate, and he can't figure out how many pounds and taels he has, do you really think that if you are a genius, others have to get used to you?

"No, I'm busy."

Zhao Pu turned his face and left, not giving any face, and he didn't think that this little doll could really have anything important.

But seeing Sun Yue, he was not annoyed, but shouted at Zhao Pu's back: "My lord, are the melon seeds delicious?" ”

Zhao Pu turned around suddenly, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice: "What did you say?" ”

Sun Yue was not flustered, still maintained a saluting posture, and said, "My lord, are the melon seeds delicious?" ”

Zhao Pu's heart sank when he heard this, and he said, "Follow me." ”

The so-called melon seeds here are naturally not really melon seeds used for eating, but a kind of melon seeds made of pure gold, produced in Wuyue.

In today's world, the trend of the Great Song Dynasty to unify the country is already obvious, except for Meng Chang of Houshu who can't see the situation clearly, jumping out from time to time, shouting such as the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and taking himself as Liu Bei, the rest of the princes all look up to the Great Song Dynasty and snort, just look forward to the Great Song Dynasty to fight others first instead of beating themselves first, so they pay tribute to the Great Song Dynasty every year.

And what is more amazing is that this tribute, but Zhao Kuangyin opened his mouth, Zhao Pu opened his mouth, in addition to paying tribute to the Song Dynasty, the lords of various countries also had to list a separate one, to Zhao Pu's private tribute, and among them, Wu Yueguo's tribute is the golden melon seeds, according to the original history Zhao Kuangyin will not be found until the third year of Kaibao.

This is no longer a matter of greed, Zhao Pu is greedy for money Zhao Kuangyin naturally knows, he is a doer, the country is in ruins, and ability is far more important than morality, so Zhao Kuangyin can endure his greed, but you are even greedy for foreign money, this is a bit too much, to put it mildly, this is called the enemy country, which has touched Zhao Kuangyin's bottom line.

Because of this, Zhao Pu was coldly told such a secret thing, and he was really a little panicked for a while.

Bringing Sun Yue to a quiet room and waving his hand to let everyone else out, Zhao Pu sat on a chair and said in a rather strange tone: "What do you want to tell me." ”

"My lord, I have a gift for my lord."

"Oh? What a gift. ”

"Xia Guan heard that the official family is dissatisfied with the era name, and wants to change the era name next year, and ask the adults to help him choose one, no one has ever used the era name since ancient times, but is there such a thing?"

Zhao Pu said: "But there is such a thing. ”

"Dare to ask my lord, what you came up with is Qiande?"

"Oh? You kid, the news is really good, yes, it's Qiande. ”

Sun Yue said with a smile: "The grace of heaven and the virtue of the emperor are really good meanings." My lord, Xia Guan has a bronze mirror, and I want to give it to my lord. ”

As he spoke, Sun Yue really took out a mirror from his arms, a simple and featureless mirror.

Zhao Pu couldn't help but be suspicious, but he still took the mirror and looked at it carefully, looking at the front, this mirror is really ordinary, it is estimated that even their family members are unwilling to use it, but as soon as it turned to the back, Zhao Pu threw the bronze mirror away with a bang.

I saw that the back of the bronze mirror was impressively written: Qiande four years.

"This ...... Where did you get this mirror? ”

"Lord Hui, this is a bronze mirror from Shu, Qiande, it was the era name used by Wang Yan, the former lord of Shu, for six years, my lord still has to prepare early, think about how to persuade the official family to change the era name."

Zhao Pu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart after hearing this, if it was really who used the era name thousands of eight hundred years ago, it would be just that, Qianshu! has just perished for more than 30 years, if Zhao Kuangyin really used the word Qiande as the era name, how big of a joke would it be?

It's not so important whether you lose face or not, Zhao Kuangyin is a pragmatic and not pragmatic person, but this era name exposes how ignorant he is as a prime minister? What a lack of learning? Can such an ignorant and unlearned person still sit in the position of prime minister?

Fortunately, if it weren't for this mirror, he might have really cooled, but fortunately, it's still early, and there is still a chance to make amends.

"Thank you for the gift, I like it, do you have anything to ask for?"

"Before tomorrow, your lord should receive a letter from Shi Shouxin to you, I hope that this letter can appear in front of the official family."

Zhao Pu glanced at Sun Yue meaningfully, and couldn't help but admire: "The future is terrifying, go ahead, I promise you." ”

"Yes, Master Xie."

"Wait a minute."

"What else do you have to say?"

"How do you know about melon seeds?"

"Oh, I learned it from your brother-in-law, and as for how I know it, I don't think it matters."

"Hmm...... Do you have a grudge against him? ”

"Turning against each other."

"Okay, I see, I'll find out about it."

"Your Excellency."
