The New Deal has begun!

Lu Yijian stayed up late at night because he received letters from many protégés and former officials, raising various views and concerns about the new policy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And in the palace, Emperor Zhao Zhen also did not sleep.

Hard work and ambition are probably the most accurate portrayal of Zhao Zhen's mood at the moment.

He has wanted to be a king for many years, but unfortunately in the years after he ascended the throne, his mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Liu, was in power, and he was a "puppet".

Of course, it may be too much to say that he is a puppet, after all, he was just an ignorant teenager back then, and he needed someone to help him govern.

But now that it is different, he has passed the age of standing, and Zhao Zhen feels that he is mature enough, and he has enough ability and authority to control the Great Song Dynasty.

After all, Zhang Xian's Empress Dowager Liu E has died, and Lu Yijian, the auxiliary prime minister who was "power-leaning towards the government and the opposition", has also retired emeritus.

Zhao Zhen felt that he had completely stepped out of the shadow of being a "puppet" back then, and had completely become the master of the Great Song Dynasty.

And what Da Song needs most now is change, change.

The weakness of the Khitan people began since Taizu and Taizong dynasties, when Taizong Zhao Guangyi Yongxi's Northern Expedition failed and failed to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, which was very regrettable.

But after all, it has been a long time, and the Great Song Dynasty, thousands of subjects, especially the emperor himself, have accepted and acquiesced in this fact.

No one would accuse the emperor of embarrassment for this matter, and Zhao Zhen also knew very well that the sixteen states of Yanyun would not become a stain on his name.

However, the actions of the party members in the northwest are even more hateful, especially when Li Yuanhao directly and brazenly proclaimed himself emperor a few years ago.

Even since the early years of the Great Song Dynasty, the northwest has been a situation of warlord secession, but after all, it nominally belongs to the Great Song Dynasty, and the party members in the five states are also limited in strength, so there is no need to worry.

But now the party members have been able to build the country independently, dominate one side, and become a big trouble.

Although this is largely due to the mistakes of his father's Zhenzong Dynasty, such as the loss of Lingzhou, as a son of man, he naturally cannot blame his father for negligence.

Moreover, the party members are really big, and the current disaster still appears when they are in power.

The battle of Haoshuichuan and the battle of Dingchuan Village, these will be their own stains on history, if they are not washed away, they will not be badly judged by future generations after a hundred years.

Zhao Zhen didn't want to be like this, whether it was before or after his death, he wanted to be a strong person. is obviously the most noble person in the world, but he has an unimaginable dedication to honor.

The party's coming to Tokyo to negotiate this time was a great stimulus to Zhao Zhen, relying on his strong military strength, Li Yuanhao's envoy could open his mouth.

That's it, the terrible thing is that the prime ministers in power in the court are ready to agree.

If it weren't for the stimulation of Xue Zong's "Theory of the Six Kingdoms" by mistake, Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi could wait to be tough, what would have been the result?

Da Song is too weak!

Emperor Zhao Zhen already had an obvious understanding that emphasizing literature over military force was a national policy set by Taizu from the beginning, and he could not and had no intention of changing it. But Zhao Zhen has clearly realized that the literati are in power, and he has a little less courage.

Especially these people in power, under their influence, more and more literati and more and more officials in the Great Song Dynasty are like this.

Zhao Zhen vaguely worried that if this continues, the backbone of the country may become more and more bent and overwhelmed.

A change must be made, and it is definitely not possible to reuse martial artists.

First, it is contrary to the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty, and secondly, the root is in the center of the imperial court, and the solution should still be found among the civil officials.

The rise of Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi and others, as well as a series of recent performances, made Zhao Zhen very satisfied and saw hope.

Needless to say, Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan set up a fortress in the northwest, step by step, making it difficult for the party members to move forward, and temporarily became a confrontation.

In this peace talks, Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi also took a firm stance and a tough attitude, and finally achieved a satisfactory result, curbing the arrogance of the party members who opened their mouths.

Finally, in these aspects, Zhao Zhen felt that the time for change had come.

Therefore, he immediately made adjustments, reusing Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu and others, wanting to reform the government, eliminate the accumulated shortcomings, and enrich the country and strengthen the army.

Under his hints, Yan Shu, Zhang Dexiang and others temporarily pretended to be deaf and dumb, and several governors were able to completely let go of the new policy, and Ouyang Xiu and Yu Jing and other counselors would also play an important role.

The prospect of the new deal can be expected, and Zhao Zhen has great expectations for it.

But he also knew that the implementation of the new policy would inevitably encounter resistance, but for the prosperity and strength of the Great Song Dynasty, for the sake of the peace and integrity of the mountain, the country will be forever.

No one or anything can stop the implementation of the new deal, and Zhao Zhen is mentally prepared.

……

"Official, I just received the news that many people asked the Lu Mansion to see him today." A chamberlain quietly stepped forward and whispered a report.

"Really?" Zhao Zhen sighed lightly when he heard it, and asked with a smile: "What about Lu Yijian?" ”

The waiter said: "Lu Xianggong didn't see anyone, the visitors had to leave books and go, the study of Lu Mansion was brightly lit at night, and I thought that Lu Xianggong couldn't sleep well." ”

"Hmph, I know." Zhao Zhen responded lightly, as if he was confident.

"Official, it's night, you should go to bed peacefully." After a slight sigh, the chamberlain said softly: "The queen mother has sent someone to say that she has prepared a lotus seed soup for you to clear the heat and remove the fire, please go over and enjoy it." ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Zhen replied lightly and said, "You sent someone to tell the queen that she has a heart, but I won't drink this lotus seed soup today." ”

"Uh...... Be! Although the chamberlain felt a little embarrassed, he finally nodded yes, and then asked in a low voice, "Where is the official family sleeping tonight?" ”

"Yunjin Pavilion!"

"Yes, the slave will send someone to inform Zhang Meiren to prepare."

"No need, she's pregnant, there's no need to toss, I just went over to visit." Zhao Zhen sighed lightly, his mood was slightly heavy.

At the beginning of the year, the third son Zhao Xi died.

I am thirty and three this year, but I am lonely and childless, which is really melancholy. In this era, it is a big deal for ordinary people to have no children, let alone a dignified son.

Although melancholy, Zhao Zhen was not particularly worried.

After all, he is in his prime, and there are so many concubines in the palace who can give birth, maybe there will be good news when there will be an opportunity.

For example, Zhang Meiren of Yunjin Pavilion, the concubine of her childhood sweetheart, met when she was a teenager and had a very strong relationship. I have given birth to two daughters to myself before, but unfortunately they have died one after another.

Zhang Guifei was very sad because of this, and blamed herself for not being able to raise the princess, and asked herself to be a beauty.

But her luck was very good, she got pregnant again in early March, successfully conceived her third child, and is now three or four months pregnant.

Two daughters died in the past, and now this third child is naturally doubly precious, especially Emperor Zhao Zhen, who cherishes this even more.

He very much hopes that his two daughters who died early can bring a younger brother, and can bring the long-awaited four princes to himself and the Great Song Dynasty......
