Zhao Shu wanted to abdicate, of course Wang Ningan could see the intentions of his apprentice, he didn't want to conflict with himself, and he was even more afraid of ruining the good situation.

State affairs are important - apprentices can still do this, let alone master!

"It's time for the old man to retreat!"

Wang Ningan silently calculated, what he could do was almost enough, if he still didn't leave, there would be a second round of petitions.

Of course, Wang Ningan will not pat his ass very abruptly and directly hang the seal and seal the gold. He must choose a suitable successor to be the prime minister and continue his national policy.

"Go and invite Lu Xianggong and Zhang Xianggong."

Not long after, Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dian appeared in Wang Ning'an's duty room, they bowed their bodies, looking very cautious and cautious.

"Jifu, Zihou, for the second time as a teacher, what should be done has been done, and the rest will be handed over to you!" Wang Ningan's tone was particularly resolute and unquestionable.

Really!

The faces of the two people changed, and their hearts pounded.

It's time for the teacher to choose a successor.

They held their breath and did not dare to neglect at all.

"Jifu, Zihou, where do you think the focus of the government should be in the future?"

As soon as the question came out, Zhang Dian hurriedly took a half step ahead, "Master, the disciple thinks that the next step is to continue to eliminate corruption, promote infrastructure, and relieve the poor people...... To be aggressive and enterprising, we must strive for more immigrants, assimilate overseas colonies as soon as possible, and establish provinces, incorporate them into the territory, and strengthen management! ”

Zhang Dian's words are basically a continuation of Wang Ning'an's policy, and with his personality, he is only afraid to be more radical and bold.

Wang Ningan pondered for a moment and looked at Lu Huiqing.

"What do you mean, Jifu?"

Lu Huiqing's face was solemn, he was silent for a while, and Zhang Dian was impatient before he spoke.

"Master, the purpose of the current expedition to the west is to destroy the forces that can threaten the Great Song Dynasty and pave the way for immigration development, which is of course the right thing to do. But after all, for many years, it has been expanding outward, and the territory has increased several times, such a large territory, the situation is complicated, and there are hundreds of tribes, we can't even figure out how large the area is and how many tribes there are. Swallowing dates and eating them, the disciples thought it didn't make much sense! ”

"Lu Jifu!"

Zhang Dian was furious, "What do you mean, is it wrong to expand the territory?" ”

"Definitely!"

Lu Huiqing said without showing weakness: "The rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and things have to be done one by one, I just thought that I should stop and digest the results, that's all!" ”

Zhang Duan still wanted to argue, but Wang Ningan stopped him.

"Ji Fu, if you go on, what are you going to do?"

"Master, the disciples are by no means passive and conservative, but feel that they need to recuperate and recuperate, and to hide their wealth for the people, especially when they need to wait for new technologies to spread...... During this time, the disciples believed that they should focus on education, and that in the past, they should use domineering to convince people, but now they should use the royal way. ”

"What is the royal road?" Wang Ningan asked again.

"The disciple thinks that the current royal way is to enhance everyone's sense of belonging, and we have immigrated more than a million, and these immigrants have lived and multiplied, and perhaps in a few decades, there will be hundreds of millions of Yanhuang Miao descendants in overseas territories. These people look the same as us, and they shed the same blood, but after all, they are in a foreign land, and they are easily contaminated with barbarian habits...... The so-called out is Huaxia, and in is Yidi. Where the power of the imperial court cannot reach for a while, if the descendants of Yan and Huang forget the fundamentals and become like barbarians, turn around and endanger the Great Song Dynasty and betray their ancestors, wouldn't it be a pity in the world! ”

"The spread of science is rampant overseas, strange theories are everywhere, overseas immigrants, and the imperial court is detached, and the reform during this period has affected the interests of overseas, and some people have suffered losses, they have counted all the accounts on the heads of the imperial court, and they are resentful in their hearts. The disciple thought that if he did not bridge the gap as soon as possible and eliminate the estrangement, the rift would be allowed to widen, and the huge territory would be in danger of being torn apart. ”

After Lu Huiqing finished speaking, he found that the corners of the master's mouth were raised, showing a smile, obviously, his answer was very satisfactory to the master, and Lu Huiqing was even bolder, "Master, the disciple also has a proposal, the first emperor's holy birthday ceremony, the master personally manages it, and the tide of all countries is unprecedented." This time, the disciples felt that a grand ceremony should be held to commemorate the ancestors of Yan and Huang, so that overseas Chinese descendants could gather together to participate in the grand event. Speaking of this, Lu Huiqing's voice lowered and said with a smile: "Master has worked hard for so many years, and this grand ceremony is also a gift from the disciple to the master, I implore the master to accept it!" ”

As he spoke, Lu Huiqing bowed to the ground.

Zhang Duan hesitated for a moment, and then bent down.

I have to say that Lu Huiqing's idea is really good, once in order to recover Yanyun, Wang Ningan sacrificed to the ancestors of Yan and Huang, and obtained very good results.

This time, Wang Ningan wants to abdicate and gather all the Chinese descendants to pay tribute to the ancestors together, which just draws a complete end to Wang Ningan's career in the sea.

Even if he despises it in his heart, Zhang Dian can't deny that the sycophant surnamed Lu is a good shot!

In the past, Wang Ningan categorically would not agree, but this time he is really going to take a curtain call, there should be some movement!

After being silent for a long time, Wang Ningan nodded.

"The ceremony can be grand, but it must be budget-saving, not extravagant!"

"Please rest assured, Master, we will do it well!"

Lu Zhang spoke in unison.

……

To pay tribute to the ancestors of Yanhuang again, the news came out and immediately caused a huge sensation.

Since Zhao Shu's grandfather broke Mount Tai's Zen, there has been a lack of an important activity that can show the majesty of the empire and the destiny of heaven.

Now it seems that only the sacrifice of Yanhuang is more energetic than Mount Tai Feng Zen!

Great, it's long overdue!

In the midst of jubilation, people entered Beijing one after another to participate in the grand event.

The first to arrive was Zhao Zongjing, the king of Dongping, who took three days to take the train to Luoyang and entered the palace of King Qin!

"Erlang, I'm coming to see you!"

Wang Ningan was a little stunned, walked quickly to catch up, and hugged Zhao Zongjingxiong.

After the two people separated, even if the children got married, the old in-laws couldn't see each other, can they not miss it? They patted each other, looked at each other again, and smiled like children.

Old, all old!

Wang Ningan became a grandfather, and Zhao Zongjing became a grandfather, and the four generations were in the same house! Can it not be old?

"Fortunately, there is this opportunity, otherwise our brothers would not have a chance to reunite, my father was confused, don't care."

Wang Ningan hooked shoulders with him and said with a smile: "Anyway, I won't settle the account on your head!" ”

The two of them joined hands and walked into the study, if they couldn't finish talking, Zhao Zongjing lived for three days in a row, chatted for three days, and on the fourth day, someone came again, this time it was Di Qing!

After taking the initiative to retire, Di Qing thought that he would die at home for the rest of his life, and he would never have the opportunity to enter Beijing again! Unexpectedly, he actually became a sacrificial ceremony, and the first group of VIPs invited entered the capital early.

"It's Di Shuai who is here, my only remaining minister of the Great Song Dynasty, how can I not invite you!" Zhao Zongjing laughed loudly.

Di Qing was also very emotional, Wang Anshi died of illness, Zhang Fangping was executed, and the four old guys at that time, except for Wen Yanbo who was far away in the Ryukyus, he was the only one left.

I really didn't expect that he, a vulgar martial artist, had the last laugh, Di Qing was curious: "Erlang, it's just us this time?" No one else? Lingzun is not coming? ”

As soon as his words fell, someone came to deliver the letter, and everyone from the Wang family came.

The third uncle died 5 years ago, and Wang's father is the head of the Wang family, counting from him, the old lady Bai, Yang Xi, Su Banniang, Xiao Guanyin, Wang Ningxuan, Wang Ninghong, Wang Ningze, and a lot of nephews, so many grandsons who can't be named, have filled the Qin Wangfu.

This is not counting, the old father-in-law Yang Wenguang, the eldest brother Yang Huaiyu, the brother-in-law Zhi Kerou, the brothers of the seed family, Di Qing's son, the concubine Di Yong, the general Di Xun, Murong Qingchen, Liang Dagang, Yang Yibin, Wu Shicheng, Xiang Hao, these people all came to the capital.

Among the many personnel, Wang Ning'an's student Xu Yang was the most special, he not only came, but also brought a very great gift.

It was a rectangular box, unremarkable, except for two wires connected at each end, which in turn connected to a circular glass sphere.

When the wires are connected, the glass sphere actually lights up!

Although it was not bright for a long time, only a few moments, it was enough to make people feel very gratified.

The scientists of the Great Song Dynasty have pried open the door to the age of electricity!

Maybe soon after retirement, you will be able to live upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones.

Wang Ningan smiled happily, but he gradually found that more and more people were entering Beijing, especially overseas, including the former Bohai King Daxiong, the Khotanese State Wei Chi Yimai, the Duan family in Dali, several families in Jiaozhi, Goryeo, Wa Kingdom, and the countries of the Western Regions......

Let's just say that railways and sea routes have all become arteries, and people attending the festival are quickly sent to the capital. In the end, even the Yin Shang Continent, as well as the soldiers of the expedition, were represented in Beijing.

Things have developed to this point, how can Wang Ningan still be numb!

These little bunnies are going to do something!

Wang Ningan called Lu Huiqing over.

"You tell me the truth, what the hell is planned, why are there so many people?"

Lu Huiqing hurriedly said: "Master, the disciples didn't go against your old intentions, they all entered Beijing at their own expense to participate in the grand ceremony, so they can't keep people out!" ”

Wang Ningan is too lazy to listen, Lu Huiqing is avoiding the important and light!

"You tell me the truth, do you have any plans?"

Lu Huiqing was a little flustered when asked, "Master, such a good ceremony, if you don't take the opportunity to show the prestige of the country, wouldn't you miss the opportunity, if you want to talk about the plan, this is the disciple's plan, and nothing else." ”

Wang Ningan didn't believe it at all, and he wanted to ask, but his officials sent a holy decree. It turned out that Zhao Shu, Zhao Ji, Wang Qing, and the royal family also set off to participate in the grand ceremony together, and Wang Ningan had to cheer up and arrange the etiquette to welcome the royal family.

"It's all here, and we can't be idle."

This wave of people who entered Beijing is even more amazing, including Su Xun, Confucianism Wang Fang, Chen Xiliang, Ouyang Fa, Fan Chunli, Wang Anli, and many, many people from the Six Arts, well-known scholars, also came.

In a word, the pomp and circumstance are unprecedented!

The capital is crammed, and Dasu, who has always liked to be lively, feels a little blind!

"Dad, so many people are here, what else can't be done? Even if the dynasty changes, it's not a problem! ”

Su Xun, who was full of white hair, raised his slap angrily, but his father-in-law Wang Fang was more considerate of his son-in-law, and dissuaded: "Brother Lao Quan, Zizhan is not wrong, we do have the ability to support King Qin to ascend the throne, but we want something more amazing!" ”

Su Shi was taken aback, it is more important than being called the emperor, what are you going to do?
