The father and son sat down. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For this kind of major event, Empress Dowager Wu naturally has to stay behind, and she can probably only be a quiet listener.

Zhao Yan smiled and asked: "I don't know what my father told the child, why do I need to come in person, just ask someone to order one person, and the child will definitely go to Deokshou Palace, and I don't dare to let my father wait for a while." ”

Zhao Gou felt a little comfortable in his heart, this son is indeed filial.

I didn't choose the wrong person in the first place.

However, filial piety is a good thing, but if there is a big mistake in the governance and management of the courtiers, he must also be reminded of him, so as not to damage the interests of the Great Song Dynasty.

nodded, "It's not a big deal, but I heard that Li Fengwu, the secretary and supervisor, seems to be leaving to ask you to talk to him about the marriage." ”

Zhao Yan was stunned, and he didn't understand why his father made a special trip for this matter.

Since his father's throne, in major national affairs, unless it is a major event like the Northern Expedition, my father really has no precedent for making a special trip to the vertical arch hall to preach to himself.

Now he actually came to the Vertical Arch Hall for Li Fengwu's wife.

Seems like a bit of a fuss?

Said with a smile: "Li Fengwu since his debut, he has repeatedly experienced heavy tasks, sent an envoy to Jin Guohaozhou, Liu Zhongzhu with blood and blood, stunned Meng Zongxian, raised my Great Song Guowei, sent an envoy to Dali, maintained the situation of Dali Gao and Duan two families sharing the imperial power, and also talked with Gao Shouchang and Duan Zhixing about the period of Yunnan horse trade, which was indispensable, and sent an envoy to Western Liao, Tiandi was far from fearless of hardships and dangers to welcome back to Anhe County Lord, not to mention, but also let the Liao lord Yelupu take the initiative to trade more than 500 elite war horses with the Great Song Dynasty every year, which has the prototype of the Tianzhu Army. ”

The Tianzhu Army is the newly formed heavy cavalry army of the Great Song Dynasty, which is currently built by Li Rui.

Of course, there are also two veterans and a young senior officer of the military department to assist.

Relying on Li Rui alone, if he wants to build a heavy cavalry army comparable to Jin Guotie Futu, the pressure is extremely high, and it is even difficult to be competent, after all, Li Rui is too young and needs the assistance of experienced veterans.

The senior official in charge of the Tianzhu Army in the Ministry of War is Han Yanxuan's brother, Han Yanqiang, the squire of the Ministry of War.

It can be seen that Zhao Yan attaches great importance to this heavy cavalry army.

Zhao Gou nodded, "Li Fengwu's merits, I also know that he has indeed made great contributions to my Zhao family, but he is young and undecided, if he is suddenly too prominent, I am afraid that he will not be able to control his heart, and breed a pampered and arrogant mentality, which will give birth to the cross-cutting and domineering of the master, so it will harm him." ”

Zhao Yan vaguely understood what his father meant, and asked weakly: "Does my father think that the child has given him too many rewards?" ”

His promotion to Li Fengwu is already very slow.

It can even be said that it is suppressed to a considerable extent.

With Li Fengwu's merits, how can he be a second- or third-grade official now...... But he was just a secretary.

Of course, he deliberately pressed him to the secretary's prison.

I always feel that this goods are in the secretary's supervision, and the things they do are no worse than those in the three central provinces or the three yas.

After all, no one in the secretary and supervisor can restrain him, so that he can give full play to his ability to a greater extent.

Zhao Gou shook his head, "It's not too much, his current career, in my opinion, you have done a very good job, and you have not helped the seedlings, after all, his talent is indeed prominent, and he will continue to make great contributions in the future, press it now, and you won't have to worry about the embarrassing situation of no reward in the future." ”

Zhao Yan smiled bitterly: "That kid doesn't understand what his father means." ”

In fact, I don't know how to pretend to understand.

By this time, Zhao Yan had already understood that his father had come to oppose the marriage of Wei Wei and Li Fengwu.

Zhao Gou didn't break Zhao Yan's mind.

Anyway, his heir has done quite well in his position, although he doesn't want to admit it, but the facts are there, Zhao Yan's ability to govern and manage ministers is indeed above him.

Especially knowing people, I have a bit of my own style when I was young.

But that's it, Zhao Gou is worried.

Li Fengwu, who was deeply afraid of being deeply trusted by Zhao Yan, grew up to become another Qin Hui of the Great Song Dynasty.

said bluntly: "I won't go around in circles with you anymore, I have also heard the rumors of Lin'an recently, and I don't agree with the marriage of Li Fengwu and Wei Wei, the daughter of the Privy Council and the Taiwei Wei Qi." ”

Zhao Yan knew that this matter was perfunctory, and thought about it, "What does my father think is wrong?" ”

If you can't use it, you will fall into the trap of your father.

This matter has to be planned and then moved, after all, he promised Li Fengwu, this kid, if he is trapped by his father and let this kid down, maybe he will do something shocking.

Zhao Gou also knew.

Although he is the emperor, Zhao Yan has grown very fast since he ascended the throne, and in his heart, although his words are still influential, they are not as good as they were back then, and it is not easy to convince him.

It's best to say it from the national level - it's funny to think about it, the marriage of a courtier needs to be raised to the national level by himself, the emperor, to oppose it.

said: "Now the situation in the court, I agree with your hand, after all, now that the country is rising, our old Zhao family still needs you to determine everything, and too early to establish a reserve will have an impact on you after all." ”

Zhao Yan was very moved, "Father Xie is comforted." ”

You also made me the crown prince for 30 years...... There can be several thirty years in life.

Zhao Gou nodded, "But as a king, checks and balances are everywhere, this is true for courtiers, and the princes should be like this, the situation you have created now, King Gong and King Qing are both good children, and the two of them also have their own forces accordingly, which is excellent." ”

Zhao Yan nodded and listened carefully.

Zhao Gou continued: "But how could you agree to marry Wei Wei to Li Fengwu? Don't you notice the twists and turns? ”

It is impossible not to see it.

Zhao Yan smiled, "Let my father worry, my father is worried that after Wei Wei and Li Fengwu get married, Wei Qi and Wang Wangbei, the in-laws of Wei Qi and Wang Wangbei, will fall to Kai'er because of Li Fengwu's relationship, thus breaking the balance between the two princes, right?" ”

Zhao Gou nodded, "There is indeed such a possibility." ”

Zhao Yan also nodded, "Yes, but it will definitely not appear." ”

Zhao Gou was surprised, "How can you see it?" ”

Zhao Yan said with a smile: "At present, the balance of the two kings - or rather, the power of the child is still stronger, the father understands this matter, and the child understands-"

glanced at the Empress Dowager Wu and said with a smile: "Maybe the queen mother also understands that the child has thanked the queen mother here." ”

That's why Empress Dowager Wu will pick up and give Wei Wei to Han Yanxuan in marriage.

Wei Wei and Han Yanxuan got married, the Han family and the Wei family, plus Wang Wangbei, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, this is a force independent of the two kings, and it is also a force that can be firmly controlled by Zhao Yan.

A force that cannot be ignored, after all, the current Wei Qi may be a privy envoy if he goes further.

In this sense, it is also a means of checks and balances.

Empress Dowager Wu bowed, "If only you could know my good intentions." (To be continued.) )
