Since Sima Guang and others left Beijing, Zhao Zhen cared about their reports almost every day, at first Li Liangzuo fell into the trap, Zhao Zhen was very happy, and then Li Liangzuo killed Manba, obstructing trade, Zhao Zhen was worried again, because the big fish was decoupled.

It's just that I didn't expect that the next peak turned around, Li Liangzuo actually played a stinky chess game by himself, wantonly exploited the people, and looked at his posture, he had to force people to reverse.

Zhao Zhen's mood is getting better and better, "Jingping, you have dug a big hole for Xixia!" ”

Wang Ningan said with a smile: "What the Western Xia rely on is nothing more than military strength, when they lost to the Great Song Dynasty, the iron harrier is not fierce, and the Western Xia is the meat on the chopping board, it depends on how Your Majesty eats it!" ”

Zhao Zhen's eyes were deep, and he walked around the hall twice, and then returned to his seat.

He stretched out his leg and took the initiative to lift his trouser leg, revealing a white calf.

If you look closely, you will find that Zhao Zhen's calves are a little swollen and his skin is shiny, and if you press it lightly, a pit will come out, and it will take a while to recover.

Wang Ningan was startled when he saw it.

"Your Majesty, your dragon body?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head with a smile, and said nonchalantly: "I'm getting older and older, I'm getting older, isn't that it!" ”

After being silent for a while, Zhao Zhen said again: "The most worrying thing about me is Xixia, I originally thought that the handsome army would be in power, in addition to the big trouble of my henchmen, but my body is afraid that it can't stand the hard work of the military." Jingping, I can last a few years, I know in my heart, can you be sure that within a few years, I will sweep away the Western Xia? ”

"Of course the minister is sure!"

To be honest, Wang Ningan also felt something, especially since the relocation of the capital to Luoyang, since the implementation of the law change, the burden on Zhao Zhen's shoulders has become heavier and heavier, and there are more and more affairs to be dealt with, such as the rule of officials, the military system, external and internal, ...... With a lot of clues, Zhao Zhen often stays awake all night, thinking hard.

Over the years, it is reasonable that the health has become worse and worse.

Compared with a few years ago, Zhao Zhen is much older, his sideburns are whiter, there are more wrinkles, and there are even faint age spots, Uncle Zhao is about to become Grandpa Zhao.

On his fingers, Wang Ningan has also worked under Uncle Zhao for more than ten years.

People have feelings, for so many years, Zhao Zhen has been reused by him, as a confidant, and obeyed his words, and as Wang Ning'an's power became heavier and stronger, the power became bigger and bigger, and there were more and more noises in the court.

But from beginning to end, Zhao Zhen almost never played with the imperial power technique, let alone beat to limit Wang Ning'an's power, no matter what happened, the emperor trusted it personally.

It is rare for the monarch and the minister to be able to do their job.

Can't let Uncle Zhao down!

"Your Majesty, now Li Liangzuo has embarked on the road of no return, with 5 million yuan in compensation to the outside world, and the strong soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, he listens to me, it is a dead end, if he doesn't listen, he struggles, it is a dead end. The minister is willing to ask for a decree, and then go to the northwest, it will definitely set off a great chaos in Western Xia, and within two or three years, solve the Western Xia, and go to a heart for His Majesty! If it can't be completed, the minister is willing to go home! ”

Zhao Zhen smiled, "What are you talking about!" I still remember that more than ten years ago, your family went to the book to run a horse farm for the Great Song Dynasty, and now the Great Song Dynasty has a strong army, a full treasury, and Aiqing has made a great contribution. The northwest must be swept away, and Yunzhou must be restored, this is the mission of my Zhao and Song Dynasty, whether it is me or the emperor, I must be unswerving and continue to do it. I just hope that Aiqing can continue to assist the imperial court, and I will feel at ease. ”

Wang Ning'an hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gifted and decisive, has a pure heart, and will definitely be able to magnify His Majesty's holy virtues, and the ministers will also do their best, and will never dare to slack off...... The minister, the minister has a request. ”

"Speak!"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ten years old this year, although he is still in his prime, but Li Liangzuo of Western Xia has already gathered forces at this age, in order to eradicate the hidden fraud. The crown prince of my Great Song Dynasty cannot be weaker than others, and the minister implores His Majesty for permission to let the prince also go to the northwest and preside over the pacification of the Western Xia together. ”

Zhao Zhen took a deep breath, he talked to Wang Ning'an, of course, he had some ideas. Zhao Zhen has long seen that Wang Ningan is a person who likes to do things very much, but he may not like power.

Some people are simply obsessed with power, such people will only stare at the emperor's throne, such as the line of the king of Runan, of course Zhao Zhen will not keep it.

There are also some people, like Wang Ningan, who want power, but just want to do things better and realize their ideals. Such a person can use it boldly with confidence, as long as he is given enough stage, he does not have to worry about having two hearts.

Zhao Zhen wanted to test Wang Ningan, of course, Wang Ningan's answer made him very pleased, but Wang Ningan also proposed one thing.

In the past, the princes were all raised in the deep palace and learned a belly of poetry and books, but they may not have much ability and prestige. At the beginning of such a succession, his eyes were black, and he had to rely on the ministers and the queen mother.

Zhao Zhen has suffered losses, and if he wants the little prince to succeed to the throne safely, he needs to be angry and strong, at least convincing...... If within two or three years, the Western Xia can be quelled, and Zhao Zongyuan participates in it and makes meritorious contributions, at that time, who dares to question the authority of the crown prince?

The only distressing thing is that children who are only in their early teens have to stay away from their parents...... Alas, I was born in the emperor's family! 、

"Jingping, you are the emperor's master, but you have to take good care of him for me!"

"It's your duty!"

……

"Sage, you can't wait a few more years, the emperor is still so young, let him sleep in the open air, go to the northwest to bear the wind and cold, the concubine feels uncomfortable!"

When Empress Cao heard that Zhao Zongyuan was going to the northwest, she didn't sleep all night, and her eyes were red from crying.

"Sage, if you want the emperor to train, it is better to go to other places, Jiangnan, Hebei, or Bashu, they are all stronger than the northwest!" Empress Cao was still making her last efforts, but Uncle Zhao shook her head, "Zitong, it is said that the Son of Heaven has a heavenly constitution in his mouth, and he has a golden mouth and a jade language, so do you know when I can say one or two?" ”

"This ......"

Without waiting for Empress Cao to answer, Zhao Zhen said to himself: "I took back Youzhou after the Battle of Youzhou, so that I can face the world calmly, and those annoying officials will no longer dare to teach me a lesson, and the soldiers and soldiers of the world will also return to their hearts." Over the years, some people have kept saying bad things about Wang Qing, saying that he is powerful and has to be guarded against...... This seems to be reasonable, but in fact it is a big mistake, the courtier is big because the Son of Heaven does not do it! I went to Youzhou, but I didn't do anything, just followed the soldiers, and they were loyal and recognized me as the emperor. If the emperor is just confined in the palace, he won't see anyone and won't participate in anything. In the end, he blamed this seizure of power, blamed the chaotic government, in the final analysis, he was still incompetent! ”

Zhao Zhen concluded: "For the sake of the emperor, but also for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, I must make up my mind to let the emperor experience, if he can recover the Hetao, when the time comes, he will inherit the unification, but it will be justified!" Zitong, you also hope that our emperor will become the master of Zhongxing, right? ”

The queen pondered for a long time, and had to admit that Zhao Zhen was reasonable, but she couldn't let go of this mother. Uncle Zhao simply gritted his teeth, and no matter what Empress Cao thought, he immediately asked people to prepare their bags, and the crown prince Zhao Zongyuan added the title of Shangshu to accompany Wang Ning'an to Qinzhou and train before the army.

Zhao Zongyuan is leaving, not only him, but also several companions from the Royal Primary School, counting on their fingers, they have also been mixed in the Royal Primary School for five years, and this time they will go out of Beijing together.

Dogtooth is the boss of these little guys, so naturally he has to follow.

He was full of pride and joy.

I packed my luggage early, packed a military backpack, and took a few Erha with me, so I went to find the old lady to say goodbye.

Yang Xi looked at his excited appearance and became angry.

"Little conscienceless, so happy to leave your mother?"

"Of course...... Uh, no, does the child mean that jade can't be cut into a weapon! Gouya'er smiled and said: "Mother, let the second brother be filial to you at home, my father has been running outside for so many years, and he used to be a small child and couldn't follow, but this time he happened to accompany his father." You also know that the Western Regions have produced beautiful women since ancient times, that Liang Yi buried and ran to the capital and sent out a lot of fox spirits, I was worried that my father would make mistakes, so I watched my father for my mother! ”

Yang Xi is too lazy to say anything, his teeth are sharp, his eyes are not respectful, and his father is really similar!

Let's just let the two of them do the trouble!

"Get out of here, save me from worrying about it!"

said goodbye to the old lady, went to see Erniang and her sister again, and then sent a pot of nests to Rolling Roll, Gouya'er deliberately squatted next to Rolling Roll, and whispered to him that when he had time, he would go to Qinling, find a few mothers to roll back, and let him live a fairy life of three wives and four concubines.

How do you know that Uncle Rolling is only interested in Wowotou, and he doesn't even want to raise his head.

Dogtooth was so angry that she wanted to kick him twice.

"Look at your bear-like appearance, you have no interest in your life!"

Our young master Gouya is different, riding a tall horse, leading a dog, holding an eagle, and leaving the capital with a lively spirit. When he left, I don't know how many people in the capital were relieved, the Demon King of the Mixed World was finally gone, and everyone could live a comfortable life for a few days.

Gouya'er didn't care how bad his reputation was, and when he left the capital, he was like a bird out of a cage, galloping wildly, running around for half a day, and when it was time to camp, he went hunting, and got a lot of pheasants and hares, or fat fish in the river.

In autumn, the animals store a lot of fat, and the meat is tender, smooth and delicious, and the dog's teeth are very enjoyable. Seeing him so happy, even Zhao Zongyuan became happy, his frowning brows were loosened, and he joined the hunting ranks, and a few little guys ate and drank wantonly, as if they were going out for an autumn trip.

But when they arrived in Qinzhou, they found that the situation was very different.

Outside the city gates, there were many people in tattered clothes, dirty faces, and even wounded, huddled together, shivering in the cold wind, clinging to each other, keeping each other warm.

Zhao Zongyuan was startled, and he almost didn't hesitate, and threw a piece of roast rabbit meat in his skin bag to a beggar...... In the next second, hundreds of people surrounded them in an instant, and one by one they stretched out their hands to eat, and their green eyes made Zhao Zongyuan think of wolves......
