In the season of catkins, the scenery of Bianjing is charming, and in the imperial garden of the Bianjing Imperial Palace, the scenery is more beautiful, the strange flowers and plants that are paid tribute to the officials from all over the Great Song Dynasty bloom their unique fragrance in the beautiful imperial garden, accompanied by the strange stones next to the garden, so that the whole imperial garden shows extraordinary beauty in the hot May.

The official Zhao Zhen was dressed in a light yellow dragon robe, and under the service of the inner servant Gan Ling, he and Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Meng, and the two prime ministers, Wang Zeng and Zhang Shixun, were surrounding a different species of begonia, watching in amazement.

"What a unique four-season begonia, a branch and leaf actually bloom in three colors, red, white, pink, no wonder Lingnan officials sent him to Bianjing for 800 miles, it is really unique!" King Meng Zhao Yuanyan looked carefully at the three-color begonia in front of him, and said with admiration in his mouth.

"Last night was stormy, and I couldn't get rid of the wine after a strong sleep. I tried the questionnaire curtain people, but the begonias are still the same, do you know it? It should be green, fat, red and thin! The official Zhao Zhen looked at the three-color begonia and suddenly blurted out a poem.

As soon as the official Zhao Zhen's words landed, King Meng, Zhao Yuanyan, Wang Zeng and Zhang Shixun were immediately slightly stunned, and they pondered in their hearts.

This "Dream Order" has also been circulated in Bianjing for a long time, and Li Qingzhao's masterpiece appeared in Bianjing during the Renzong period, which is undoubtedly Zhao Lei's plagiarism.

But this far-reaching word appeared in the mouth of the official Zhao Zhen, and the taste immediately became different, you must know that the words and deeds of the official Zhao Zhen are affecting the rotation of the imperial court, and now chanting this "Dream Order", is it arbitrary? Or do you feel it? Or maybe it means something!

Begonias are still the same, green, fat, red and thin? The official Zhao Zhen suddenly mentioned Zhao Lei's words. Do you want the begonias to still be there? Or is it green, fat, red and thin?

This kind of sudden thing made the three most powerful ministers of the imperial court scratch their heads, and they couldn't guess the thoughts of the official Zhao Zhen after thinking about it.

"It is worthy of Zhao Sanjue, who is the official family's own order, this poem is really enough to be a must, Zhao Sanjidi "Water Tune Song Head, When Will the Bright Moon Be There", "Xuemei" and this "Dream Order", although it cannot be said that there is no one who has come after, at least it can be said that there is no ancient. The official family knows the British with a clear eye, and now Zhao Sanjue has made new contributions, above the green history, the official family and Zhao Sanjue can be compared to Tang Taizong and Wei Zheng, singing a good story of the monarch and the minister through the ages! Nearly sixty years old, Wang Zeng, who is getting older, has become more sleek at the same time, and he can't figure out the meaning of the official Zhao Zhen, so he smiled and borrowed Zhao Lei to pat the official Zhao Zhen's fart. At the same time, inquire about the meaning of the words just now by the official Zhao Zhen.

"Zhao Aiqing should have arrived in Guangzhou, right?" Wang Zeng's sycophants did not play their due role, and when the official Zhao Zhen heard his words, he was expressionless, and calmly asked the three important ministers of the court around him.

The expressionless words of the official Zhao Zhen made Zhao Yuanyan, Wang Zeng and Zhang Shixun secretly think in their hearts, could it be that the official Zhao Zhen was really targeting Zhao Lei just now?

Meritorious and high-spirited? Wrong! Although Zhao Lei has a lot of credit. But there is still a distance away from the big earthquake lord, and Zhao Lei is an official personally promoted by the official family, although he is not among the eight important ministers, but the power of the new army is only a lot bigger than that department of the imperial court, that is, they are the land power ministers among the eight important ministers. Seeing Zhao Lei also smiled and didn't dare to offend, Zhao Lei relied on the official Zhao Zhen, and he was honored together. The relationship between one loss and the same loss, now that Zhao Lei has made a great contribution, how can the official Zhao Zhen be wary of Zhao Lei!

"Lord Zhao Zhao left Bianjing to go to Manila before the New Year, calculate the time, if there is no mistake, it is estimated that Lord Zhao Lei and Zhao have returned to the Guangzhou Naval Port." Zhang Shixun and Yan Shu have a bad relationship, and Yan Shu's students Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu are all friends of Zhao Lei, so Zhang Shixun is more inclined to Zhao Lei's side politically, and he heard the words of the official Zhao Zhen. After pondering for a moment in his heart, he decided to figure out the ins and outs of the matter before drawing conclusions, thinking of this, he no longer pondered the thoughts of the official Zhao Zhen, and replied respectfully to the official Zhao Zhen.

"You have also seen King Ma Yi, you should know Ma Yi Kingdom very well, the Great Song Dynasty has six million miles of splendid mountains and rivers, and now Zhao Aiqing has opened up 400,000 miles for the Great Song Dynasty, which is almost equal to one-tenth of the Great Song Dynasty, and has captured the King of Ma Yi even more, such a great achievement, you talk about how to reward Zhao Aiqing when he comes back!" The official Zhao Zhen had a cold face and asked the three important ministers indifferently.

As soon as the question of the official Zhao Zhen came out, Zhao Yuanyan, Wang Zeng and Zhang Shixun felt relieved, because the thoughts of the official Zhao Zhen were finally exposed, and it was for Zhao Lei's credit to be promoted to the third level.

But things are bad here, you must know the unspoken rule of the Privy Council that "meritorious service must be great, great merit needs to be great", the official Zhao Zhen doesn't know at all, in fact, this kind of thing, someone at the top of the court just knows about it, let the official family know that the people below are so fooling the official family, it is a matter of the dignity of the official family, maybe something will happen, so many unspoken rules of the imperial court are concealed from the upper and lower levels, most of the civil and military officials of the imperial court know it, but the official Zhao Zhen does not know, so there is such a thing today.

The three important ministers turned their heads to look at each other, and glanced at each other knowingly, the unspoken rule of this kind of thing must not be known by the official Zhao Zhen.

"How are the officials going to reward Lord Zhao?" Wang Zeng pondered for a while, not knowing how to talk to the official Zhao Zhen, so he simply pushed the matter to the official Zhao Zhen again.

"How are I going to give a reward? Let me decide everything, what do I want you ministers to do, especially Lord Wang and Lord Zhang, you are the prime minister, you are in charge of Zhongshu Province, and you should do everything to do with the edict! When the official heard Wang Zeng's Tai Chi speaking, he immediately said with a blank face.

The Tai Chi technique is useless, and it can't be pushed off, Wang Zeng and Zhang Shixun have bitter faces, and they began to think about how to deal with it without revealing the unspoken rules, and they can satisfy the official Zhao Zhen and not make Zhao Lei angry.

There is no need to think about being promoted to three levels in a row, even if the official Zhao Zhen agrees, the civil and military forces of the imperial court and the important ministers of them will not agree to a young boy who is not yet thirty years old to be on an equal footing with them, so the only way to think of it now can only be to overtake the credit, but thinking about Zhao Lei's record in Mayi, Wang Zeng and Zhang Shixun can't think of what kind of crime Zhao Lei can be charged with Zhao Lei and offset the credit.

When attacking Ma Yi, they couldn't find Zhao Lei's fault, Wang Zeng and Zhang Shixun began to think forward, at this time they also thought that when Zhao Lei was serving in the new army, he blatantly embezzled a lot of new army materials, although he did not touch the silver of the new army, but Zhao Lei's guy even did corruption to the point of perfection, first used the name of the new army to buy a lot of things that the new army did not need, and then directly classified these materials into the consumption account, and openly pulled these things to Zhao Mansion for use, under the leadership of Zhao Lei, The entire civil and military officials of the New Army began to do this, spending tens of thousands of taels of silver on the New Army every month, and hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years, although these are only small amounts of money, that is, the officials in Taiwan know that the New Army is doing this, and no one cares.

Zhao Lei's embezzlement of the new army and silver was a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning in the past, but now at this time, it is an excuse for the official Zhao Zhen to compress Zhao Lei's credit, just such a small thing, it is enough to make Zhao Lei demote the official by one level, and directly change from being promoted to three levels in a row to being promoted two levels in a row.

An excuse came up, Wang Zeng and Zhang Shixun began to think hard about Zhao Lei's other mistakes, thinking about it, and suddenly Zhao Lei, this kid, didn't leave any handle and mistakes, so that Wang Zeng and Zhang Shixun couldn't think of other reasons to compress Zhao Lei's credit.

At this moment, Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Meng, looked at Wang Zeng and Zhang Shixun, who were thinking hard, and suddenly pulled their sleeves, covered their mouths and said, "Pharmacy!" ā€

When it came to Zhao Yuanyan's actions, Wang Zeng and Zhang Shixun's eyes lit up, and they also thought that Zhao Lei's pharmacy and folding fan shop in Bianjing were not coming from the right way, if they were calculated carefully, it was also a fault, and if they planned carefully, they could also reduce Zhao Lei's credit by one level, so that the official Zhao Zhen must be very satisfied, and the official was promoted to one level, and it is estimated that Zhao Lei, who has other rich rewards, must also be very satisfied, both sides are satisfied, and they are all happy!

"Qi Qi official, the minister thinks that it is better not to reward Zhao Lei first, the minister recently received a reference from the imperial envoy, and participated in the embezzlement of a large amount of military funds when Lord Zhao was serving as the commander of the new army, Lord Zhao is now the minister of the Great Song Dynasty, this stain must be found out as soon as possible, and it is good to give Lord Zhao a clean slate!" Wang Zeng thought about Zhao Lei's two mistakes, and immediately straightened up, bowed to Zhao Zhen, who was still watching the begonias, and said respectfully.

Worth it with merit! It's a good idea! Hearing Wang Zeng's words, the smart official Zhao Zhen immediately thought of the meaning of Wang Zeng's words, nodded lightly, and secretly praised Wang Zeng.

"The minister also has a book to play, and the officials of the Imperial Court have recently given a fold to the minister, saying that when Lord Zhao came to settle in Bianjing, he used illegal means to seize two shops of Bianjing merchants, and this kind of thing must not be let go, and it needs to be strictly investigated!" Zhang Shixun also pretended to be a duke and said to the official Zhao Zhen awe-inspiringly.

Not bad! Two passes are worth two merits, and then Zhao Lei's official will be promoted to one level, and he will be knighted and honored, and he will give Zhao Lei's wife and several of his children some things, and some gold, silver and jewelry, which is worthy of Zhao Lei's merits, so he did it. Zhao Zhen, an official who solved a matter on his mind, finally smiled on his cold face.

The relaxed mood of the official Zhao Zhen affected Zhao Yuanyan, Wang Zeng and Zhang Shixun at the same time, and the four of them began to put down their official affairs, talk and laugh, and savor the beautiful scenery in the imperial garden.

However, the four monarchs and ministers of Bianjing never expected that Zhao Lei, who had just returned to the Great Song Dynasty and was far away in Guangzhou, was reminded by Su Xun and Pang Bai that his military merits were too heavy, and he was trying to find ways to offset his merits!
