"Your Highness, what did the saint say?" Bao Zheng asked with concern.

Zhao Shu's face was full of shame, "The old minister, Lone persuaded his father to let him be extrajudicial and gracious, but his father was still very persistent and unwilling to change ......"

Bao Zheng's face became even more miserable, "Your Highness, time is in a hurry, and the evaluations of many officials may not be able to withstand scrutiny. The old man fought for his life, and he also had to go to His Majesty for a theory. ”

Zhao Shu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, although my father insists on severe punishment, he also agrees to let him live." ”

Hearing that there was a way to live, Bao Zheng was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Is it going to be assigned to the Western Regions again?" ”

"Well...... Zhao Shu's face was full of sadness, and he lamented: "It's a long way, it's really a big thing, Lone allocated 10,000 yuan from the expenses of the East Palace to use it as travel expenses for everyone!" Tell the officers and soldiers who escorted them that they are not allowed to be treated as criminals, and that they must take good care of them, and that they will ...... in the future. There will be a day when my father will change his mind. ”

Bao Zheng was still sad, "Many people are old, but I am afraid that if I go to the Western Regions this time, I will bury my bones in another country, and I will never be able to return to the land of Sangzi, which is really pitiful!" ”

At this time, Wang Anshi said with a calm face: "Bao Xianggong, these people have not completed the examination method, and some people are openly resisting the decree and opposing the imperial court. ”

Bao Zheng opened his mouth and shook his head helplessly, "The same hall is a minister, why worry about each other!" ”

After speaking, the old minister staggered out of the palace, and it is said that after returning home, Bao Zheng was bedridden, and his condition was a little more serious, and he couldn't be a director at all.

If the prime minister can't handle things, the second minister will be in charge of the government.

Wang Anshi is really ruthless, he sees who is not pleasing to the eye, and who dares to oppose the new law, he will be dismissed from office and rushed to the Western Regions. In just one month, more than 200 officials were dismissed.

The officials were never alone, they had family members, slaves, grooms, family members, at least a dozen people, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight thousand people were driven to the Western Regions.

On the road, there are full of sounds of crying and wiping tears, and everyone is miserable and sad.

The officials stood at the peak of the Great Song Dynasty and enjoyed the best treatment, they were not unable to get by, they wanted to go to the Western Regions to pan for gold and make a fortune, these people didn't want to endure hardship.

You must know that Wu Yu committed suicide directly in order to avoid distribution.

Some officials also want to learn from Wu Xianggong, but it is not so easy to make up their minds when they die, and almost all of them still have to go to the Western Regions.

"Emperor, the queen mother has heard a lot of complaints these days, have you ever known?" Empress Cao took advantage of Zhao Zhen's rest, called the prince to her palace, and cooked white fungus lotus seed soup with her own hands.

Zhao Shu took two bites and sighed, "There are all the monarchs in the world, those people should also weigh it carefully, should they complain casually?" ”

This is interesting, of course, on the surface, he blames those who complain about the emperor, but secretly, he brought the queen in. Queen Cao's face has changed, the little thing has grown up, and she dares to fight against the old lady!

Empress Cao was slightly angry, and said in a cold voice: "Thousands of miles away, the mountains and rivers overlap, how bitter is it?" Compare your heart to your heart, Your Majesty is a merciful lord, how can you bear to watch your wife break up and leave your homeland? There must be traitors and villains, blinding the saints, instigating the emperor, and deposing hundreds of officials. When the queen mother heard that Wang Anshi was very restless, he spoke wildly, rejecting dissidents, if this continues, will there be a peaceful day in the world? ”

Zhao Shu put the spoon down and stood up.

"The prince is either right or wrong, my son really doesn't dare to say anything, so I can only ask my father to adjudicate, and my son will go to see my father."

With that, Zhao Shu bowed and withdrew.

After he left, there was a crackling sound in the Kunning Palace, and the porcelain of the official kiln was shattered...... Zhao Shu's face was very ugly, but when he returned to Zhao Zhen's bedroom, he had already returned to normal and became a good baby again.

Serving his father to take medicine, reading to Zhao Zhen, and reporting from all over the country.

Zhao Zhen was normal at first, but suddenly, he actually issued an order to draft girls and enrich the harem, and shouted that the cement palace was uncomfortable, and that the wooden one should be restored, and the Daqing Hall should be rebuilt with large materials......

This is a big deal for everyone, the emperor is like a child, he recognizes one thing, no one can pull it back, Zhao Shu is useless to persuade him, so he has to give an order to the political hall.

This time, Wang Anshi didn't pay attention, Sima Guang was in charge of finance, and he spread his hands, "If you want to rebuild the Daqing Palace, you need to transport wood from the sea to Xijing, a piece of wood is at least 50,000 yuan, and there are so many people, and the household department has no money." The saint is in a hurry, even if he has money, there is not enough time! ”

Zhao Shu thought for a while, "Sima Xianggong, see if you can get a few sticks to fool around first."

"Fooling? How to fool around? ”

Zhao Shu said: "My father's eyes are very serious, he can't see clearly, as long as he makes a few wooden pillars to stand in the hall and decorate them, my father won't find out...... Even if my father finds out, I'll be in charge of everything. ”

Sima Guang thought for a while, nodded and said: "Your Highness is bent on seeking the country, and you can't bear the suffering of the people, even if the minister fights this head, he will not hesitate." ”

Sure enough, with Sima Guang's efforts, half a month later, the so-called Daqing Hall was completed, Zhao Zhen actually believed it, and took a foot chariot to let Zhao Shu accompany him and go around the Daqing Palace.

Touching the wooden pillar, the emperor smiled.

"Okay, this thing is down-to-earth, can prevent insect erosion and rat bites, and prolong life. You have to be careful in your life, and you can't be sloppy. Saying that, he raised his head and saw the lamp in the hall again, at this time, in front of Zhao Zhen's eyes, there was only a piece of light left, and the emperor was suddenly angry.

"Who is this? Who made the lamp, why is it so dim, I can't see clearly! The emperor was furious, Zhao Shu hurriedly accompanied the smiling face, good words and comfort, the emperor still did not relent, "They just bullied me with bad eyes, and wanted to blind the saint, their hearts can be punished, check, they must be checked!" ”

Zhao Shu could only nod, and the Ministry of Industry really checked, and found that this batch of palace lamps was purchased from a workshop of Uncle Cao Tong's family, and the difference between the accounts before and after was about 3 yuan.

The result was sent to Zhao Zhen.

"Your Majesty, it's just 3 times! The minister thought it was insignificant, and a slight punishment was enough. Han Jiang replied.

How did Zhao Zhen suddenly turn over and say angrily: "Thirty thousand is still less?" A palace lamp earned 30,000 yuan, and there are so many lights, how much money do they want to make? My treasury is empty, it's all done by these rats, and you still say it doesn't matter, say, how much did you take? ”

Han Jiang is so wronged!

Zhao Shu smiled helplessly, his father's ears have not been good recently, he had to lie in Zhao Zhen's ear and explain repeatedly, but the emperor didn't agree, helplessly, Han Jiang could only ask for guilt and go down to re-investigate.

After a few more days, he finally found a little problem with the Cao family, and Han Jiang proposed that Cao Tong Xuanhui be removed from his post, demoted by three levels, and punished for one year.

How do you know that the emperor is angry again, shouting that everyone else is assigned to the Western Regions, why should he show favor to Cao Tong extralegally? You guys are still colluding!

Han Jiang was embarrassed, he tried his best to explain, saying that Cao Tong was the uncle of the country and the queen's younger brother, who knew that Zhao Zhen actually cried again, this time it was Queen Guo who cried.

Empress Guo is the first queen of Zhao Zhen, hand-picked by the Empress Dowager Liu, Zhao Zhen was still a teenager at the time, he hated everything given by the Empress Dowager Liu, and Empress Guo also had a little temper and made it very unpleasant.

Later, there was a villain instigated in the middle, and Zhao Zhen promised to abolish the queen, but a few years later, Zhao Zhen regretted it again, but at this time Queen Guo had died violently, according to legend, she was poisoned by someone and was only 24 years old at the time.

The first woman is always unforgettable, Empress Cao is the second wife, and it is rumored that Empress Guo's death has something to do with the Cao family, and they are afraid that the emperor's old feelings will be rekindled, so they find a way to poison Empress Guo.

Decades have passed since these things, and the emperor suddenly brought it up again, which is really incomprehensible.

All in all, everyone thinks it's not a good sign, the emperor is crazy, and at this time he disobeys him, and if he makes a will, his life will be completely ruined.

Han Jiang had no choice but to announce that the Cao family would be demoted to the Western Regions on charges of embezzlement of money for the ink palace lantern.

The Cao family was crying like a mourner.

Only Cao Tong is quite calm.

I knew that there would be this day, but I was just filling the army, and the Son of Heaven was merciful!

Cao Tong was also very helpless, in the middle of the tide, he could only go with the flow.

They are too deep in combination with the damaged generals and officials in the change, so deep that they can't cut it, if they don't speak for these people, they will be angry and throw out more terrible things, but I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to protect the Cao family.

There is no way, but to bite the bullet and fight for them.

After scrambling, I finally kicked the iron plate.

Cao Tong is not stupid, Zhao Zhen is simply pretending to be crazy and stupid, using old age and mediocrity to drive their family away, without family support, Queen Cao is lonely, a woman's family, what can she do?

If you go to the Western Regions, you will go to the Western Regions!

Anyway, after many years of friendship, Wang Ningan still doesn't dare to tear his face, even if Lao Tzu doesn't do anything, he can eat and drink spicy food, and do whatever he wants.

Cao Tong figured it out, no matter what happened to the other rooms, he left early, and quickly escaped from the land of right and wrong, maybe after Zhao Shu succeeded to the throne, he could still come back, but no matter what, this time of alternating between the old and the new must be avoided......

The dignified relatives and uncle Cao Tong were all confiscated, and everyone trembled and shuddered.

Zhao Zhen is old and mediocre, moody, and fully educates everyone what it means to be a companion like a tiger.

The more the old emperor tosses and goes too far, the more people look forward to the new monarch succeeding to the throne, ending the chaos and quickly returning the world to the right track.

"Father, you don't hesitate to defile yourself for the sake of your child, how can a child repay God's grace!" In the dead of night, Zhao Shu lay beside the bed, sobbing softly.

Zhao Zhen stroked his back and said softly: "Silly boy, if your father doesn't do this, how can you quickly establish your prestige?" How can I consolidate my Zhao family? Father and Emperor must be worthy of the ancestors and ancestors! Emperor, don't let your father down. ”

"I understand!"

Zhao Shu grabbed his father's hand, completely ignoring the image, and cried so that his eyes were red and swollen...... The next day, the father and son will continue to perform, and it is already the early summer of the seventh year of Jiayou......
