Zhao Zhen heard his son's words and sighed slightly in his heart.

Sure enough, this kid still chose someone from the master's family...... As an emperor, Zhao Zhen knows very well that after he leaves, the biggest crisis of the Great Song Dynasty is not outside, but inside, not in the court, but in the opposition!

He couldn't last long, Zhao Shu was less than 16, and he was destined to be weak and strong, especially Empress Cao didn't know how to measure proportions, and wanted to win over the old school, which ruined the situation and made even the queen unusable.

For a long time, the world of the Great Song Dynasty will fall into the hands of important ministers.

Is it to rely on Wang Ningan to balance the power of civil officials, or to rely on civilian officials to balance Wang Ningan's power...... How to maintain a balance between imperial power and vassal power, between the new school and the old school, even if he has been the emperor for more than 40 years, Zhao Zhen has no choice, he can only say that it is difficult, it is difficult......

However, when Wang Ning'an deduced in front of the emperor, it was revealed that the real crisis of the Great Song Dynasty was the decline of the countryside after the development of industry and commerce.

Zhao Zhen knows very well that relatively speaking, for thousands of years, the Central Plains Dynasty is far more stable and stable than the surrounding countries, once in three hundred years, the dynasty changes and reincarnates, and the cycle of chaos is controlled, and on the grassland, it is like this almost every day!

The mystery lies in the fact that since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period were successively restructured, after the Qin and Han dynasties, the foundation of the Central Plains Dynasty was all peasants, and they were all homesteaders with a certain amount of land.

Every dynasty will implement the policy of dividing the land, so that the common people can get an average piece of land, which is not much, but it is enough to feed a family.

What is a farmer who owns land called?

In fact, in terms of division, they belong to small landowners, that is, petty bourgeoisie, these people seek stability, hope for peace, stability, as long as this foundation is not destroyed, no storm, can shake the foundation of a dynasty.

And the process of the destruction of the country can be seen as the process of the bankruptcy of yeoman farmers.

What is bad is that the Great Song Dynasty did not completely divide the land at the beginning of the founding of the country, and then because of the compromise with the scholar group, it did not take measures to curb the annexation.

The subsequent emperors had to develop industry and commerce, develop cities, absorb excess population, and alleviate contradictions.

The ones that Wang Ning'an analyzed in the imperial front existed in the original Great Song Dynasty, but after the development of the Western Regions, the money supply increased, which accelerated the process.

Someone has to ask, can you stop, or go backwards?

Impossible, never possible!

The gold is there, can you not do it?

The business opportunities are there, can you not make people rich?

Zhao Zhen thought it through, of course Wang Ningan was a threat, but in the future, only Wang Ningan could help Da Song and solve the problem, and no one else could do it at all.

In this case, it is nothing to marry the daughter of the Wang family, but if this continues, the relationship between the two families will become more and more intimate, and it is difficult to say whether the world of the old Zhao family will fall into the hands of the old Wang family...... Wang Ningan pursues doing things and making contributions, but who can guarantee that the people of the Wang family are like this, and they will not covet the throne?

It's hard, it's still hard!

Zhao Zhen felt that he had to think about it, spend a few months to think, to consider, and when he was mature, he would talk to his son about it, so that he could know it in his heart...... Or write it into the edict, in short, to give this kid a reminder.

Zhao Zhen was also heartbroken, he suddenly remembered, and he didn't ask yet, who touched his son's heart? Can she become the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family and the future queen?

Is it Wang Ningan's sister?

It doesn't seem to be, that little girl is in her twenties, and I heard that she is engaged to Zhe Kerou and is already married!

Is that Wang Ningan's daughter?

It's not right, Xiao Nizi is not even ten years old, although she is a beauty, she is too young.

So, who else?

The child of Wang Ning'an's cousin's family, or the cousin of Wang Ning'an's uncle's family...... No, why can't you find anyone?

"Emperor, are you the same age?"

"Well, she's a year older than me." Zhao Shu's face was slightly red.

"Wait, a year older than you?" Zhao Zhen was even more puzzled, "Isn't Wang Zonghan the boss?" He's half a year younger than you, how can there be anyone older than him? It can't be your master's illegitimate daughter, right? ”

Zhao Zhen was so angry that he sat up straight, and said in his heart Wang Ning'an, you are too good at hiding, your identity is unknown, you can't enter the palace to be a queen, an illegitimate daughter, how can you be a mother in the world?

When Zhao Shu heard his father's words, he was also startled, and hurriedly waved his hand, "No, really not, Master doesn't have any illegitimate daughters!" ”

"So, who are you going to marry?"

"It's Wang Qing."

"Wang Qing, is there someone named Wang Qing in your master's family?" Zhao Zhen was confused.

"Yes, it's Wang Xianggong's daughter, Wang Qing, she is one year older than me." Zhao Shu was very shy, and said in a low voice: "Master has the grace to teach, Zong Han and I are like brothers, his sister is my sister, and Erchen will not think nonsense...... I, I want to marry the daughter of Wang Xianggong's family, she is very good-looking, and my Su Shiniang praises her! ”

Zhao Zhen's eyes rolled, and finally returned to normal, coughed dryly twice, and complained, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"The child doesn't dare." Zhao Shu pouted and said: "Wang Qing is smart, the child is afraid that he will break it with him, and he won't even have to be a friend." ”

"Friends?"

The more Zhao Zhen listened, the more confused he became, "Tell my father clearly, what is going on, how did you meet?" ”

……

Speaking of which, this matter is also due to Su Banniang and Yang Xi, when they were in Beijing, they made a pet association and gathered a large group of women, who often walked around, chatted and drank tea together, raised dogs and watched pandas, and had a lot of fun.

Although Wang Anshi and Wang Ning'an don't have much contact, his brother Wang Anguo and his son Wang Yan have all been in the Six Arts.

And Wang Yan and Wang Ningze are still good friends.

Because of the incense, Wang Anshi's wife also often chats with Yang Xi and Su Banniang.

Mrs. Wang's talent is not covered, Su Banniang's father, two brothers, is the third of the eight families, and her husband is also one of the eight families, and her son Wang Yan has the reputation of a little saint.

Even her daughter Wang Qing is eccentric and loved.

Su Banniang likes Wang Qing very much, and from Xiao Nizi, she saw the shadow of her early years.

Zhao Shu often goes in and out of the Wang family, even more natural than going back to the palace.

Of course, he had also met Wang Qing, at first they just ate snacks and played games together, and then Zhao Shu gradually had an idea...... At the beginning, Queen Cao wanted him to marry a girl from the Cao family, but Zhao Shu strongly objected, in addition to not wanting to be controlled, there was another reason, that is, he had someone in his heart.

It's just that Lang is affectionate, but my sister has no intention.

Wang Qing told Su Banniang early on that she just wanted to find an ordinary person to marry and stay there for the rest of her life.

Like her father is busy every day, her brother and uncle are also running around, and the same is true of King Xiliang, who leaves all the women at home, alone in the empty boudoir, lonely and lonely, she wants Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun to be like him, even if he sells wine, he is willing.

Even the official eunuchs dislike it, and let her marry into the palace, isn't it even more impossible!

Zhao Shu had a bitter stomach and didn't know what to do.

It was Zhao Zhen, who laughed after listening to the introduction.

"You, you're still too young, can those little daughters' dreams be taken seriously?"

When Uncle Zhao heard that his son had fallen in love with Wang Anshi's girl, he was overjoyed and actually gave an idea...... Obviously, he still wants to make this family affair a reality.

Wang Anshi is a person who is good at seeking the country and clumsy at seeking his life.

However, he has one point, very similar to Wang Ning'an, both of them are more public-minded than selfish, but Wang Anshi's foundation is too weak and not worth entrusting to big things.

But if Wang Anshi becomes the emperor's father-in-law and has the support of the queen, then Wang Anshi is equal to an extra gold medal for avoiding death, and the future court situation will not be dominant.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen turned into an old man and began to give his son all kinds of ideas, no matter what, he had to take down Wang Qing!

But Zhao Shu listened to it and listened to it with a creepy sound.

What trick can the emperor make?

It's nothing more than the set of the domineering emperor, whether you look at it or not, you can get it first...... Where is marrying a daughter-in-law, it is simply a robbery of Mrs. Zhai!

He thinks that his father is still unreliable, and he should go to his brother Gouya'er, or his mother, their methods are at least better than his father's! That's right, when this longevity festival is over, I'll find a way!

……

The lights are on, and the twilight is four.

The streets of Xijing have suddenly changed.

Exquisite lanterns are lit up, every house, every tree, large and small lanterns, dotted in between, as bright as day, and at every street corner, there will be a large marquee, on which all kinds of stories are painted.

There is a peach feast, the white ape steals the peach, Han Xiangzi is on his birthday, and the birthday star congratulates him...... All in all, it's all this kind of thing, and the envoys of various countries are eye-opening.

At this moment, from the restaurants on both sides of the street, fairy music sounded, and all kinds of musical instruments were readily available. There are clappers, pipa, gonghou, elevated drums, drums, iron and stone square sounds, flutes, sheng, xun, zhen, moo, dragon flute and so on.

The sound of the music is wonderful, and the singer is dressed in colorful clothes and dances, as if she has arrived in a fairyland.

Not to mention the envoys of small countries, even the envoys of Khitan and Western Xia were dumbfounded, drooling, envious, and jealous.

Under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they entered the Daqing Hall from the Xuande Gate and lined up 200 canes and drums on both sides.

With each step, the drums beat and it was earth-shattering.

Everyone was full of respect, and when they arrived at the Daqing Palace, this time they didn't have to be so awkward, and directly knelt down and saluted Zhao Zhen.

Seeing the civil and military ministers on both sides, I was extremely gratified.

Liu Shi grabbed his beard and smiled slightly, Zhao Yunbi, the king of Beihai County, nodded frequently, it's different, it's really different!

As the host, Jia Xianggong was full of red light, raised the first imperial wine, and the musicians beat the song board, and the sheng, flute, and flute played first, and then the music rang out in unison. The ministers raised the wine, and the officials poured their glasses.

Entertainers dance in the middle of the main hall, dancing in pairs and soloists. Butterflies fly flowers, shuttle and fly, it is very beautiful.

When it comes to the third imperial wine, a hundred operas enter, there are poles, jumping ropes, handstands, bending waists, making bowl notes, kicking bottles, somersaults, and so on. Everyone is as smart as a monkey, and it's wonderful.

In this way, after each glass of wine, there is a new trick, all kinds of delicacies, and they are constantly served, and the tables are full of tables, piled up into a hill, and the aroma is fragrant, and everyone keeps swallowing saliva.

After nine lamps, everyone congratulated the saints for a long life...... According to etiquette, Zhao Zhen finished drinking the wine, accompanied by the prince and Zaizhi, and left the hall, without restraint, the whole feast reached the peak of joy!
