In the palace, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu sat opposite each other, and Zhao Guangyi asked, "Brother Huang, what do you think about Zhao Gu's affairs?" ”

Zhao Pu replied: "The emperor is really in a hurry this time, although Zhao Gu has made great contributions, but he is gentle by nature, not to mention whether he will really rebel, even if he really wants to rebel, he will be in the Great Song Dynasty for a short time after all, and it will not be possible to succeed in one or two years."

"Even you say that?" Zhao Guangyi sighed and was silent.

Zhao Pu continued: "The minister has a way to push this problem to Zhao Gu. ”

"What's the method?"

Zhao Pu smiled faintly: "Li Fu is a person with great ability, the minister's time is short, when Lu Mengzheng takes my position, it is just right to let Li Fu take Lu Mengzheng's position, then the position of Kaifeng Mansion Yin will be vacant, according to the usual rules, the position of Kaifeng Mansion Yin is very important, and non-high-ranking officials are not allowed to serve, so it is better to let Zhao Gu sit in this position." ”

Zhao Guangyi's eyes lit up suddenly, and he clapped his hands and applauded: "I see, as long as Zhao Gu becomes a civil official and leaves the army, then it is impossible for him to rebel, I naturally don't want to be afraid of him anymore, and the situation in Western Xia can be solved from this." ”

"That's right, when Zhao Gu became a civil official, he naturally lost the support of the generals, Xia Weibing and Li Jiqian will no longer have expectations for him, and he will no longer have a threat, but will become more cautious because he is worried that the emperor will not be good for him, and the threat from him will naturally be self-defeating." Zhao Pu added.

Zhao Guangyi glanced at Zhao Pu, and seemed to be very jealous that Zhao Pu could come up with such a way to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, but thinking of Zhao Pu's age, Zhao Guangyi didn't care, anyway, Zhao Pu would die in the next two years, so why should Zhao Guangyi make him unhappy before he died!

After a brief meeting between the two, Zhao Guangyi immediately issued two wills, one of which was for Li Fu, in view of Li Fu's usual outstanding political achievements, and his ability to discuss the government as the head of the official, Zhao Guangyi apologized to Li Fu for his previous misunderstanding with him, and promoted Li Fu to the governor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is still an official of the second grade.

I have to say that when everything is under control, Zhao Guangyi is not confused, and he actually knows to apologize to Li Fu, retreat as advance, and redeem the unfavorable situation caused by his reckless actions before.

Li Fu was originally a good person, and although he was dissatisfied with Zhao Guangyi's previous actions, he did not hold a grudge, so he took the holy decree and went to be his governor.

Participating in the governor's affairs, to put it bluntly, is to participate in and know the meaning of all important government affairs, the status is equivalent to the deputy minister, the Great Song Dynasty generally has two to three permanent governors, of which Lu Mengzheng is the head of the governor's affairs, is the prime minister, is from the first official, and the rest of the governor's affairs are the second grade.

Although there is a difference in rank between the two, the rights are equal, that is to say, what Lu Mengzheng can manage, Li Fu can also manage, and what Lu Mengzheng can say, Li Fu can also say.

In this way, Li Fu is a blessing in disguise, although he has not been promoted, but his power is much greater than before.

After the literati of Kaifeng Mansion learned of this, they also stopped attacking Zhao Guangyi, and the people did not know what was going on, so they naturally chose to follow the trend and choose to forget about Li Fu's removal from his official position.

Zhao Guangyi's other holy decree was transmitted to the Marquis Mansion of Zhuozhou County.

The holy decree said that Zhao Gu marched westward, defeated Li Jiqian's 200,000 army with 50,000, and recovered the entire territory of Western Xia, and made meritorious contributions to the country, so Zhao Gu was specially promoted to the Duke of Zhuo Guo, and two pieces of purple gold fish were given.

But it is said that this purple gold fish is a clothing configuration that can only be enjoyed by high-ranking officials above the third grade, generally hanging one from the third grade, two pieces from the third grade, three pieces from the second grade, four pieces from the second grade, five pieces from the first grade, and six pieces from the first grade, and Zhao Gu's founding duke is equivalent to a high-ranking official of the second grade, and he should hang four pieces of purple goldfish, and now with the two pieces given by Zhao Guangyi, it is the same as a high-ranking official.

I don't know what Zhao Guangyi's idea was, originally Zhao Gu should have been named a prince, which is equivalent to a high-ranking official, but he only gave a duke of the country, but he let Zhao Gu hang six purple gold fish, which obviously has some calculations.

And pendants like purple goldfish, other officials also have them, among which from the fifth grade to the third grade is goldfish, from the seventh grade to the fifth grade is silverfish, and from the seventh grade there is nothing.

Compared with the promotion of Li Fu, Zhao Gu's canonization decree is more eye-catching, and everyone knows that once Zhao Guangyi canonizes Zhao Gu, it is equivalent to him acknowledging Zhao Gu's merits, and he does not plan to take Zhao Gu's life for the time being.

The officials couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, there were too many major events in the Great Song Dynasty in the past two years, first the Northern Expedition, followed by the Western Expedition, the officials hoped to be able to calm down temporarily, so that the Great Song Dynasty could digest and digest it well, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Gu could be safe, and everyone was naturally happy to see it.

On the day the holy decree was issued, Zhao Gu, who lived in an inn two hundred meters outside the Marquis Mansion of Zhuozhou County, knew the news, but he was not busy going out, but waited for another three days to confirm that Zhao Gu was really the duke of another country, and then took Xiao Jiu back to his mansion.

As for Xiao Jiu's elder brothers, Zhao Gu let them secretly lurk in Kaifeng City in case of emergency.

Walking to the gate of the mansion, looking at the newly replaced plaque on it, Zhao Gu cheered himself in his heart, he knew that the higher he walked, the greater the danger, if he missed a move, I am afraid that the whole family would be wiped out.

Sorting out their thoughts slightly, Zhao Gu and Xiao Jiu entered the mansion, Su Xiaocheng and the other girls heard that Zhao Gu was back, and immediately greeted them, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, which moved Zhao Gu.

They also saw Xiao Jiu on the side, but this time Su Xiaocheng did not show any displeasure, but asked softly about the relationship between Zhao Gu and Xiao Jiu, and then asked the maid to clean up an attic for Xiao Jiu, this attic is very close to Zhao Gu's attic, and it is no different from other women.

Zhao Gu was watching from the sidelines, Su Xiaocheng wouldn't have another purpose for this move, right?

After Su Xiaocheng arranged Xiao Jiu's residence, he seemed to guess Zhao Gu's psychology, and glanced at him slightly: "You are tired and tired outside, only there is one preference for women, where do I dare to stop you, I won't care about it in the future, you can marry whoever you like, our sisters are happy, as long as you don't forget us." ”

"Really?" Zhao Gu asked excitedly.

"What do you say?" Su Xiaocheng's smile was as bright as sunshine, but before Zhao Gu could react, her jade hand reached into Zhao Gu's clothes and pinched him fiercely.
