Chapter 40 Cabinet Chief

……

When they turned around, Zhao Zhe saw Shoufu Yan Yu appear at the door with a nervous face. Several imperial guards used their bodies to block him from entering. If it weren't for the fact that the imperial guards knew Yan Yu more and knew that this person's identity was different from others, they would have drawn their swords a long time ago.

Yan Yu originally believed that his daughter was returning home today, and he hadn't seen his daughter for many years, when he knew that his daughter's master was with him. A sumptuous feast was prepared early, ready to wash the dust for them. However, when he waited left and right, he didn't see the family taking his daughter back. After sending people around to inquire, I learned that my daughter and her master seemed to be in conflict with people on the street, and they were brought into the Four Seasons Ruchun Restaurant. The specific situation is unknown, so he hurried over with a few strong family members and sent someone to report to Jingzhao Mansion Yin.

However, what he never expected was that the guards outside the Purple Qi Donglai Pavilion were a cadre of imperial guards. Only then did he hurriedly send the family away, and went to inform Fu Yin not to bring him. Standing at the door, he negotiated with the loyal imperial guards, but he refused to let him in or report it.

However, there was a girl's coquettish voice in the middle of the hearing, and she scolded her as a silver thief. Immediately, his usual calm and calm was beaten away without a trace. I couldn't care about anything, so I rushed in with my life. At this time, he was not only worried that his daughter would suffer a big loss, but also worried that his daughter would anger the emperor. Only then was he at the door, shouting.

Yan Rongrong looked at her father stupidly, but soon found that several imperial guards were holding him up. Immediately, his face was sad and angry: "You bastards, don't let my father go quickly." With that, he prepared to rush forward.

"Rong Rong, Hugh is presumptuous." Zhao Zhe put his hands behind his back, scolded her, and glared: "The guards, they are just doing their duty. What's more, every one of my imperial guards has an official and imperial order, and you are a mere folk girl, so what qualifications do you have to shout at them. ”

"Hmph, I don't care, anyway, I don't allow them to bully Rong Rong's father." Yan Rongrong is finally young, and her surname is impulsive. Jiao Rong snorted at Zhao Zhe with an unconvinced face: "You silver thief, you bullied me just now. Now he's bullying my daddy. ”

"Rong Rong, don't be presumptuous to the emperor." Yan Yu scolded angrily. Instead, he slowly knelt down at the door and said, "Your Majesty, the little daughter of the old minister's family, she is young and ignorant. Look at the emperor, don't worry about it. ”

"Yan Aiqing." Zhao Zhe stepped forward with a smile on his face, and personally held him by both hands to help him up: "Rong Rong's surname is simple, innocent, and cute. How could I bother with her? Yan Aiqing, Yan Aiqing, you really gave birth to a good daughter. ”

Although Yan Yu took advantage of the situation to stand up, his heart was still uncertain. lowered his head, secretly pondering the meaning of Zhao Zhe's words. According to rumors in the palace, the emperor broke his head in a fall in the imperial study, and after coming out of the shadow of the concubine, his surname changed a lot. Sometimes mediocre, sometimes shrewd. Even Yan Yu, an old fox who has been in the officialdom for many years, can't feel his pulse for a while. Then on his face, he said even more respectfully: "Thank you for the emperor's praise, Rong Rong, this girl, has been wild since she was a child, and she doesn't like to read and write." I only like to dance with knives and sticks, saying that I want to be a female general in the future and lead thousands of troops. ”

"Hahaha." Zhao Zhe turned his head, smiled at Yan Rongrong, shook his head and said, "Rongrong, this is your fault." ”

"Hmph, why can't a girl dance a knife and a gun and become a general?" Yan Rongrong had obviously had an argument with his father more than once, and said with a hint of disagreement between her eyebrows: "From ancient times to the present, isn't there never a female general?" As far as the former Song Dynasty is concerned, after all the men of the Yang family died, those female generals did not do very well? ”

Zhao Zhe smiled and shook his head: "It's not that I can't say that you can't be a female general, but you don't practice literature." After all, it's just a martial artist. And Rong Rong is a daughter, at most she is a martial artist. To be a general, especially a female general, you can't just rely on the means of killing the enemy on the battlefield. Go back and read more books, especially the art of war, if your father agrees in the future, I will not let you enter the army for training. ”

Yan Rongrong's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said happily: "Your Majesty, do you count?" ”

"Shut up." Yan Yu's old face was flat, and he glared angrily: "Rong Rong, don't be presumptuous to the emperor." Then he bent over Zhao Zhe and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's all the blame for the old minister, who didn't teach the little girl well since she was a child." So much so that she was speechless in front of the emperor. ”

Zhao Zhe smiled, just about to answer. saw Yan Rongrong holding Yan Yu's arm, and said coquettishly: "Daddy, the emperor Yanjing agreed." As long as Rong Rong passes her father's assessment, she can be crowned a general. ”

"Well, I didn't say it, I made you a general." Zhao Zhe hurriedly shook his head and denied: "I just said that I would let you enter the army for training." As for generals and the like, you have to fight for it by yourself. ”

"The emperor said very well, in the army, it is not a child's play, it has its own rules. Even if your father promises you to join the army, you have to fight for your exploits with a knife and a gun. Yan Yu agreed with Zhao Zhe's words.

"Hmph, one of you is the emperor, and the other is the minister of the imperial court." Yan Rongrong puffed out her mouth and snorted coquettishly: "Can't you go through the back door for me?" Just let me be a general, even if it's a small general. ”

Zhao Zheyan looked at each other and smiled. Zhao Zhe held Yan Yu and walked towards the banquet with a smile: "Yan Aiqing came just in time, and the banquet has just begun." You and I are the two of us, but it's rare to have a drink together. I have Yan Aiqing to help deal with a lot of headaches, which is really comfortable. ”

"The emperor is polite." Yan Yu's heart froze slightly, and he couldn't figure out what Zhao Zhe's words meant for a while. So he also looked obedient and modest: "Sharing worries and solving problems for the emperor is the duty of the old minister." ”

Yan Yu sat down under Zhao Zhe, and the rest of the people also sat down one by one. During the banquet, there was a staggered meeting, and Shen Jiabao was constantly enlivening the atmosphere, but he ate and drank happily.

After being full of wine and food, Shen Jiabao brought good tea intimately, poured tea and handed water in person, and was very busy. Zhao Zhe was also a little lazily leaning on the Huanghuali chair, half-closing his eyes and taking a sip of tea from time to time.

"Your Majesty, there is one thing that the old minister has to say, I don't know whether to say it or not." Yan Yu also sat with him, and after thinking for a long time, he said with a somewhat serious face.

"Well, you and I, the monarch, can't say anything clearly." Zhao Zhe smiled indifferently and said: "However, Yan Aiqing, as the first assistant of the cabinet, can do many things. My body has not yet healed, and my head hurts when I think about complicated things. ”

Yan Yu saw that Zhao Zhe didn't want to pay attention to the government and didn't want to take care of everything, and he couldn't grasp his true thoughts for a while. Later, I saw Zhao Zhe again, and with the intention of drinking, he began to laugh with the widow who didn't know where to get it. And his eyes, from time to time, showed a look of longing and greed to Yan Rongrong's master. Seeing this, Yan Yu remembered that the emperor urgently ordered Liu Chao to handle the world's draft. I sighed faintly in my heart......
