Zhao Lei, who was tired all night last night, was still drowsy in the morning, and when the morning was up, the official Zhao Zhen showed evidence to prove that Zhao Lei was innocent, and announced that Zhao Lei would be re-appointed as the Salt and Iron Outsider, responsible for the affairs of the two cases of Salt and Iron, he was still asleep.

"Sir! There is an envoy in the palace, please go to the lord to receive the decree? It was Hou Shan again, which disturbed Zhao Lei's dream and woke Zhao Lei up from the bed.

Hearing the news of the waiting, Zhao Lei didn't care about other things, put on his clothes, and hurried to the front hall of the Zhao Mansion to meet the holy decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict ......" is still the beginning of the old cliché, but Zhao Lei listened very carefully today.

"Feng Zhao Lei is the prince and the prince, the founder of the county, the goldfish bag, and the two cases of salt and iron!" After the servant's sharp voice was finished, a mysterious smile appeared on Zhao Lei's face, where everything was under control.

"Thank you!" After Zhao Lei finished speaking, he took the holy decree, and then stuffed the gold beads that Houshan stuffed to him, and casually stuffed them to the servants who came to issue the decree.

Weighing the weight of some gold beads in his hand, the smiling face of the waiter turned into a flower.

"Congratulations to Lord Zhao for winning the grace of heaven! The official family asked Lord Zhao to enter the palace later, Lord Zhao should not forget. The waiter said to Zhao Lei with a smile.

Zhao Lei thanked the chamberlain again and respectfully sent him away.

"Congratulations to the official!" Bai Xinlan followed Zhao Lei, and when she saw that her official was finally reactivated by the official family, and she was in an important position, Bai Xinlan, who was happy for Zhao Lei, said with a sweet smile.

"Congratulations, official. Now that you have become the wives of the second-rank members of the imperial court, after a while, when Tian Lan comes back, the officials will go to the official's house and ask for a life for you. Zhao Lei lovingly stroked Bai Xinlan and Xiaocui's pretty faces, and said movingly. He knew that these days, Bai Xinlan and Xiaocui were extremely worried because of his dismissal, and in just a few days, they had already felt a little emaciated.

Bai Xinlan and Xiaocui both touched their hands from Zhao Lei, feeling Zhao Lei's deep feelings for them, the two looked at each other and smiled with satisfaction, Bai Xinlan said to Zhao Lei: "Official, don't delay here." The official family is still waiting for the official! Hurry up and change into the court clothes sent to the palace! ”

"Xinlan, I don't know when I'll come back when I entered the palace today, I remember that I have already told Tian Lan about my dismissal, you remember to write a letter to Mrs. for me, so as not to worry her!" After Zhao Lei gave orders to Bai Xinlan and Xiaocui. Turning around and returning to the bedroom of the back house, he changed into the scarlet official mansion sent by the waiter, equipped with the dragon and phoenix and the goldfish bag, Zhao Lei got into the carriage and left the Zhao mansion.

……

In the Imperial Palace. The hundred officials of the imperial court are still arguing, and the problem of pulling the skin is the reform plan proposed by Song Shou. Changing the sale of salt tea banknotes to cash sales, and the object of the ramp-up has changed from Song Shou's lonely battle yesterday to the seven important ministers of the imperial court, as well as the officials who are good friends with them, against those court officials who have frequent contact with salt and tea merchants.

The official Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair with a sneer, watching those officials who opposed the cash struggling to the death, he had already ordered the secret guards to start collecting evidence, and it would take three days at most. When the evidence is gathered, we are ready to attack these officials who are desperately opposing today.

For three more days, Zhao Zhen looked at the courtiers below who opposed the salt tea cash money, and thought angrily in his heart, the murderous machine in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, he had already thought about it, and when the evidence was complete, he would behead all the courtiers who bribed the salt tea merchants with more than one million, so that everyone knew that he Zhao Zhen was the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the master of the world, and his money was not so easy to embezzle.

Zhao Lei came to the outside of the Imperial Palace early, but without Zhao Zhen's summons, he couldn't go in at all, and could only listen to the quarrel inside in front of the door outside the palace.

Hearing the quarrel in the hall, Zhao Lei laughed dumbly, whether it was Song Shou's cash point of view or the opposing point of view, for Zhao Lei, it was an immature salt tea sales method.

Song Shou opposed the salt and tea banknote system, so that the Song Dynasty finance lost a large amount of money, so that the Song Dynasty household shortage of silver serious, but for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, it is a good thing, tea and salt merchants at a very low price to buy tea and salt banknotes to the Song Dynasty to all parts of the Song Dynasty, in order to compete, the selling price will of course be reduced, greatly convenient for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, but also reduce the interests of selling illegal salt, so that the number of people who sell illegal salt is greatly reduced.

The cash system can greatly increase the income of the household, but the premise is based on the loss of the interests of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and the cash transaction will definitely make the price of tea and salt rise.

In Zhao Lei's view, salt tea, which was listed as a military material in the Northern Song Dynasty, the best way to sell it is nothing more than underwriting, by the imperial court, a first-class producer, the salt tea will be sold to the merchants of the states, and then the sales price of the merchants will be stipulated, and the merchants will sell it themselves, the salt tea production of the Northern Song Dynasty is very objective, and the storage capacity of the imperial court is not small, so that there is no fear of hoarding by businessmen, as long as the price of tea and salt can be maintained by law, there will be no big problem, if the states can find two or three contractors and let them compete with each other, it would be great.

However, Zhao Lei also knew that he was still shallow in the imperial court, and he was a soft-spoken official, so he couldn't oppose Song Shou's suggestion at all.

Just when Zhao Lei was thinking nonsense, Zhao Zhen finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and didn't want to see the noisy scene in the court anymore, so he angrily announced his retirement from the court.

It's not easy to be an emperor! Especially the emperor of the Song Dynasty, it was even more difficult to be, looking at Zhao Zhen who left angrily again, Zhao Lei sighed in his heart.

"Lord Zhao! The official family announces your royal garden to meet you! Gan Ling's sharp voice sounded in Zhao Lei's ears.

……

In the imperial garden, Zhao Zhen is sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake to enjoy the coolness, beside him, there are two stunning beauties with all kinds of charms, one on the left, dressed in a light blue palace dress, Danfeng beautiful eyes, mist around, melon seed face, skin Saixue, well-proportioned and beautiful, dignified her, between her eyebrows, but there is a faint fox color, it is actually a peerless enchanting with a charming posture, this kind of beauty, is definitely a seductive vixen, **vigorous, can make men want to stop, and nature**, if it is not a man who can submit to her, Sooner or later, it will be the end of the cuckold, this palace beauty is Zhao Zhen's favorite concubine and beauty now.

Next to the beautiful woman, there is an innocent and lovely Lori beauty, this Loli beauty is Zhao Zhen's other favorite concubine Yang Meiren, Yang Meiren entered the palace at the age of fourteen, followed Zhao Zhen for three years, and is seventeen this year, but over the years, Yang Meiren has not grown at all, and in the past three years, she has still entered the palace as she was, with innocent big eyes, petite and delicate figure, round face, baby-like lubricated skin, and a faint milk fragrance on her body, which makes Zhao Zhen very obsessed with Yang Meiren.

The two beauties in the palace entered the palace to serve Zhao Zhen at the same time, had a close relationship with each other, joined hands to compete for favor, and successfully kicked Zhao Zhen's favorite concubine to the cold palace, won the favor of the official Zhao Zhen, and became the thorn in the side of Queen Guo.

"Official! The crown prince and master Zhao are here. Yan Wenying, who was standing beside Zhao Zhen, saw Zhao Lei walking over with an attendant, and hurriedly reminded the official Zhao Zhen.

"Chen Zhao Lei has seen the official family and the two mothers!" Zhao Lei came to Zhao Zhen and saw the two beauties beside Zhao Zhen, so he naturally guessed that they were the two beauties of Yan Yang who had recently been favored by Zhao Zhen, so he said directly.

"Zhao Aiqing is here, sit!" Zhao Zhen said with a casual wave of his hand.

"Yes!" Zhao Lei did not refuse, and naturally sat opposite Zhao Zhen.

The official Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, what he admired the most was Zhao Lei's free and easy, no other courtiers were in awe of him and showed submissiveness, the official Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Lei's feelings, every time he didn't want to meet the monarchs and ministers, more, as if it was an equal friend-like exchange, he liked this atmosphere very much.

The two beauties of Yan Yang, seeing that Zhao Lei was so disrespectful, did not shirk it, and sat down directly, while the official family was not angry but happy, and they were surprised in their hearts, and began to look curiously at Zhao Lei and Zhao Sanjue, who were famous in Bianjing.

Zhao Lei is also laughing in his heart, and he laughs very sweetly, he seems to have pressed the right treasure, and gambled on the right way to gain the favor of the official Zhao Zhen, it seems that the emperors are really lonely, what they desire most in their hearts is a courtier who can communicate with them on an equal footing, not a friend, but a courtier who is not afraid.

"I don't know what the official family has to call the ministers to come?" Sitting opposite Zhao Zhen, Zhao Lei asked indifferently without being arrogant or humble.

"What do you think about the problem of tea and salt money leading to tea and salt cash?" Zhao Zhen asked Zhao Lei directly, which shows his trust in Zhao Lei.

"Enlighten the official family! The issue of salt tea money and salt tea cash is nothing more than a question of whether tea and salt benefit the court or the people; Money leads to damage the interests of the court, and cash damages the interests of the people, so Wei Chen thinks that money and cash is a tool to mediate the interests of the people and the court, the household is short of money, then the implementation of the salt tea cash system, so that the court can quickly collect a large amount of money, if the natural disaster **, the people are poor, then the implementation of the salt tea money system, although the court suffers losses, but the people can benefit. Zhao Lei was not polite, and directly analyzed these things clearly and said that the foreign trade of tea and salt in the Northern Song Dynasty was completely controlled by the official, and the merchants only had a share of domestic sales, so whether it was cash or money, the materials were all in the domestic circulation, and the Great Song Dynasty could not talk about losses at all, but only the imperial court of the Great Song Dynasty and the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

"This point of view is new, I've heard of it for the first time, but it sounds very reasonable, you can talk to Lord Song in the afternoon, and then go to the next excerpt to see how to turn tea and salt into a tool to mediate the interests of the people and the court." Zhao Zhen said to Zhao Lei with a smile.

"Your Honor!" Zhao Lei said to the official.

In the forbidden Huxin Pavilion, the official Zhao Zhen heard Zhao Lei's answer, stood up, walked to the lake, looked into the distance, and beside him, the two concubines of Yan Yang followed him gently.

"Do you know why I trust you so much?" Zhao Zhen looked into the distance and said indifferently.

Although the official Zhao Zhen did not mention his name, but in addition to the two beauties of Yan Yang here, there is only Yan Wenying, a eunuch, Zhao Lei knew that Zhao Zhen must be him, Zhao Lei, who followed behind Zhao Zhen, pondered for a moment, pretended to be stupid and said: "The minister doesn't know!" ”

The official Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, turned to Zhao Lei and said, "Do you know! From the time you came to Bianjing, Uncle Yuan Yanhuang, who controlled the secret guard, sent someone to Meishan to investigate your origin! ”

Zhao Lei was shocked when he heard the words of the official Zhao Zhen, he didn't think that the imperial court would send someone to check his origin, but he only guessed that the imperial court would send someone from the household department to investigate, and he never expected to alarm the Secret Guard Division, the only secret agency in the Great Song Dynasty.

Now that the Secretary of the Secret and Guards has found out, the officials still trust it so much, why? Zhao Lei thought incomprehensibly.

"The secret guard found out that your origin is mysterious, appeared in Meishan out of thin air, there is no information at all before, King Meng is very suspicious that you are a spy sent by Western Xia or Liao, although later you developed a pox vaccine to prevent sores, but I and King Meng did not weaken their suspicion of you, after all, you are too young, many older doctors are helpless sores are eliminated by you, it is really unbelievable, so I doubt the authenticity of the pox vaccine, and King Meng suspects that the pox vaccine is a poison made by Xixia and Da Liao. It is used to endanger the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Zhen said slowly word by word, but every sentence made Zhao Lei's heart tremble.

"Why did the official family choose to believe in Wechen?" Zhao Lei asked a little nervously.

The official Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Because you saved my prince Xin!" ”

"It's as simple as that?" Zhao Lei asked in disbelief.

"It's as simple as that, sores and typhoid fever are the deadliest diseases for children, and many children of princes and ministers died of this disease in Western Xia and Daliao. You can treat these two diseases, if you are in Western Xia and Da Liao, you are definitely not an unknown person, and they will not let you come to the Great Song Dynasty to see their children die unexpectedly, so I and King Meng both believe that you are indeed the descendant of Hua Tuo's lineage, the descendant of the hermit in the mountains. Zhao Zhen patted Zhao Lei's shoulder and signaled that he didn't need to be nervous.

"The minister has to thank the official family and King Meng for their trust." Zhao Lei said with a wry smile, he never thought of it. Under the peaceful life of Bianjing these days, there is actually a hidden crisis of this kind of crisis, think about it, if he hadn't met Huang Zixin who was seriously ill, I'm afraid he would have fallen to the ground at this time.

"The guards have a lot of things to say about you, like the weirdly big mechanism you showed up. And the handwriting on the medicine boxes you brought from Meishan, although I can't understand many of them, but I choose to believe you, the scabies and the life of the prince are worth believing in you! Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Lei. Said majestically.

When Zhao Lei heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he destroyed all the things with simplified Chinese characters on the truck. And those imported medicines, all in English, if you really leave those things, just the handwriting of those countries above, it is enough to put on the hat of a spy of another country, and then directly behead.

The two beauties beside Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Lei more curiously at this time, in their eyes, Zhao Lei's appearance was really not a person who could develop sores, cure the prince Xindi's serious illness, and make beautiful poems. Zhao Lei is simply too strong compared to the standard literati of the Great Song Dynasty, and the wide court clothes are bulging on his body, so you can think about the strong muscles on his body, thinking of this, the appearance is dignified, and the inner beauty is **, and his heart can't help but be a little agitated.

Yang Meiren saw that her sister Yan was slightly red, and the spring love between her eyebrows and eyes was floating, she was funny in her heart, Yang Meiren, who knew each other, of course understood Shang Meiren's character, but she also knew that Yan Meiren had a lustful heart but lacked lustful courage.

"What's wrong with Concubine Yan, why is her face so red?" Zhao Zhen also showed Yang Meiren's strange appearance at this time, and asked with concern.

"The sun is a little sunny, and the concubine is a little uncomfortable." Shang Meiren panicked, and casually found an excuse and said.

"Since Concubine Yan is not feeling well, let's go back first! Concubine Yang, go back too! Zhao Zhen said doting to the two beauties.

The two beauties originally wanted to stay with Zhao Zhen for a while, but in the face of the official's concern, they didn't dare to refute it, so they retired and left.

After seeing the two concubines leave, the official Zhao Zhen turned his head and said to Zhao Lei: "Okay, now let's get down to business, I have read your "Mingdao Advice to the Official's Family", and it is very well written, what do you think is the biggest hidden danger in the imperial court at present?" ”

"Three redundancies!" Without thinking, Zhao Lei expressed the views of later generations on the Northern Song Dynasty issue.

"Three redundancies?" The official Zhao Zhen said puzzled.

"Redundant officials! The Great Song Dynasty now has tens of thousands of officials, many officials are in a prime position, those who are old and weak, sick, corrupt, and incompetent, have no contribution to the Great Song Dynasty at all, and the imperial court uses a large amount of silver money every year to support this kind of officials, which is also a major factor that leads to the lack of silver in the household department, in addition, the number of people who enter the government through the shadows, imperial examinations, admissions, military merits, and official posts is increasing, and now the number of officials in the Great Song Dynasty is growing with 600 people per year, and after ten years, there will be 17,000 officials, and the household department will therefore spend nearly 40 million yuan per year, and so on. The country is worried! Zhao Lei didn't care about the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, even if Zhao Lei didn't say it, it wouldn't be long before Fan Zhongyan, Bao Zheng, Song Shou and others would say the same thing.

Hearing Zhao Lei's words, the official Zhao Zhen said with a wry smile: "There are more officials in the Great Song Dynasty, but those old and weak patients are all old ministers who have worked hard for the court for decades, give up them, what do other courtiers think, and who else will be loyal to the country; Corrupt and incompetent, the imperial envoy is impeached every year, and every year a courtier is assigned to Lingnan, what else can be done.

Mengyin, imperial examination, admission, military merit, and Xu officials are the five ways for the imperial court to enter the office, if they are removed, what method does the imperial court use to select courtiers. ”

Since Zhao Lei came to the Northern Song Dynasty, he began to ponder the matter of reform and change, and of course he had deeply studied the problem of the official Zhao Zhen, and when he heard the words of the official, he immediately retorted: "The official! The old ministers of the Great Song Dynasty really need to be treated well, but there has been a conflict between the good treatment of the old ministers and the system of shadowing, and the ministers think that if they treat the ministers well, they should be restricted from being shaded and prevent the descendants of high-ranking officials and nobles from monopolizing official positions; Happy is easy to sort out and the imperial envoy's ability to impeach incompetent and corrupt officials makes the ministers feel embarrassed, the imperial envoy, the two courts, hundreds of officials, the incompetent and corrupt officials impeached every year, but less than ten figures, that is to say, an average of ten imperial envoys, a year to find out an incompetent and corrupt official, is the Great Song Dynasty incompetent corrupt officials too few, or too deep hidden, or the imperial envoys of the imperial envoys, are also in the corpse meal!

In addition, Weichen thought that the Jinna, military merits, and Xu officials should be abolished, and the imperial examination should be changed to two civil and military departments, and the imperial envoys should be given the task of impeaching officials, and each imperial envoy must find out a piece of illegal evidence of incompetent and corrupt officials every year. ”

"Oh! Your method is good, give the imperial envoy of the imperial embassy a task, impeach one official every year, a hundred, so that the increase in the imperial examination and the shadow of the officials will reach a balance with the officials eliminated from the imperial embassy, plus the departure of those old ministers, maybe it will not take a few years, the number of officials will be reduced. The official Zhao Zhen heard Zhao Lei's opinion and said excitedly.

"Official! In this way, will the envoy become a tool for the ministers to attack each other? Yan Wenying, the servant beside Zhao Zhen, refuted Zhao Lei's words at this time and said.

"As long as the evidence is conclusive, let them turn against each other! Isn't the current envoy also a tool for the ministers to attack each other! The official Zhao Zhen waved his hand indifferently and said.

"Go on, what else do the three redundant have besides redundant officials?" After the official Zhao Zhen beat Yan Wenying, he said curiously to Zhao Lei.

"Redundancy! The Great Song Dynasty now has a forbidden army of nearly one million, and a box army of 200,000, and if there is no war, it will consume nearly 30 million pieces of silver grain from the imperial court every year, and if there is a war, it will be doubled, although it costs so much money, but the combat effectiveness of the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army is too disappointing.

Since the first emperor negotiated peace with Liao, decades of stability in the Great Song Dynasty have greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army.

I heard that the forbidden army received food and salary, and had to hire people to carry the transport, and some cavalry in the frontier could not put on armor and get on horses, and the forbidden army transferred from the south claimed that they could not fight, and they were afraid to death when they saw the enemy.

Official! How can the situation of the forbidden army not be changed! Zhao Lei said faster and faster, and said loudly in an excited tone, he was also from the military, and he was very dissatisfied with the current situation of the Great Song Army.

Zhao Lei's words, let the official Zhao Zhen continue to smile bitterly, Zhao Zhen is not unaware of these situations, but he just doesn't know how to reform, the Great Song Dynasty has the Liao State in the north, and the white-eyed wolf of Western Xia in the northwest, plus the Li Dynasty of Nanyue (also known as the Nan'an Li Dynasty) and the Tu Domain, the Great Song Dynasty, which made enemies on all sides, really has no way, so many troops are always prepared, and the erosion of the army is not an overnight thing, there has been no war in the south for decades, not even a small war, in this case, how to improve the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army, Decades of peace have made the forbidden army lose the ability to fight.

However, although the forbidden army in some places is indeed low in combat effectiveness, the forbidden army on the three sides and some frontiers still maintains the combat effectiveness of the pre-emperor period, and things cannot be mixed up.

"How do you think redundant troops should be reformed, disarmament is simply impossible at present." Zhao Zhen first blocked Zhao Lei's way to disarmament, and then asked about the strategy to solve it.

In the Imperial Garden, Zhao Zhen and Zhao Lei, the two monarchs and ministers, were talking about the future of the Great Song Dynasty.

"How do you think redundant troops should be reformed, disarmament is simply impossible at present." Zhao Zhen first blocked Zhao Lei's way to disarmament, and then asked about the strategy to solve it.

The words of the official Zhao Zhen, Zhao Lei had already prepared, he also knew that it was impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to be disarmed, the small country of Western Xia had an army of nearly 400,000, and the national strength of the Liao State, which was comparable to that of the Great Song Dynasty, the army was maintained in the range of one million, plus the troops of the Tu Fan and the Li Dynasty of South Vietnam, if it was disarmed, I am afraid that not only the officials of the imperial court would be uneasy, but also the people of the Great Song Dynasty, it is estimated that they will also lack confidence!

"Official! The minister also does not agree with disarmament, only a strong army has a strong deterrent force to the countries around the Great Song Dynasty, the minister thinks, now the problem faced by the million army of the Great Song Dynasty is not disarmament, but combat effectiveness, the minister believes that as long as the training of the forbidden army is strengthened, the battle of the forbidden army can be improved, as for the huge expenses occupied by the forbidden army, the minister feels that it is nonsense, the foundation of a strong country is a strong army, and now the imperial court only spends nearly one-fifth of the tax on the army, the minister thinks that it is too little, and the annual cost of the Great Song army is too little, should be maintained at half of the income of the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Lei talked eloquently and said what he thought about redundant soldiers in his heart.

"According to you, redundancy is not a problem at all?" Zhao Zhen asked incomprehensibly.

"There's a problem! Officials, although we cannot disarm, we must eliminate some of the old and weak in the army. Incompetent generals, this is the right way to strengthen the army. Zhao Lei carefully explained to the official Zhao Zhen.

"Oh! To be clear? Zhao Zhen asked with a deaf look.

"The reason for the low combat effectiveness of the Great Song army is, first, the lack of training, and second, the fact that there are too many old, weak, sick and disabled people in the army. In the absence of training, officials can send the Quartet Forbidden Army to those warlike armies to follow the training. Then the good soldiers in the army of good war were promoted to officers to help train the armies of other places, so that the combat effectiveness of the Great Song army could be slowly increased. As for the old, weak, sick and disabled in the army, the officials can let them retire from the army and give them enough money or land, and they should not have an opinion. Zhao Lei said to the official Zhao Zhen.

"Diligent training and weeding out the old and weak, this method is good! It is possible, but it needs to be carefully considered. Zhao Zhen muttered to himself.

"The third redundancy of the three redundancies is redundancy. The official family should reduce the use of all kinds of luxury, reduce the number of miscellaneous servants in the palace, reduce the use of the clan, and reduce the cost of worship and the cost of gifts to the courtiers. Zhao Lei said respectfully to the official Zhao Zhen, he knew that this last request involved the interests of the official Zhao Zhen and the clan. It is very likely to be rejected, but Zhao Lei still miscalculated the official Zhao Zhen's urgent request for reform.

When Zhao Zhen heard Zhao Lei's words, he was slightly stunned, and then said: "I can do all these things to reduce extravagance, miscellaneous servants in the palace, worship and favor ministers." But to reduce the use of the clan, I am afraid that it will be difficult for King Meng to agree. ”

"Is that all there is to the three redundancies?" After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he then asked.

"Yes! That's all there is to the redundancy. Zhao Lei said respectfully.

"These things. Even if I support you, it will be difficult to achieve it without the support of the officials of the court, and I will reply to you after consulting with the important officials of the court. Zhao Zhen thought carefully for a while and said.

The minister also knows that these things are related to the century-old country of the Great Song Dynasty and need to be carefully considered, but what the minister means is that these things can be implemented in sections and have a shallow impact. The official family can try it first, and it is not too late to wait for the official family to make up their minds. ”

"Good! I will go back and think about it before replying to you, I will not leave you to eat in the palace, you can retreat! Zhao Zhen's hesitant personality at this time began to affect his judgment again, and he thought about it for a while, but he couldn't make up his mind to say.

Hearing the words of the official Zhao Zhen, Zhao Lei sighed in his heart, knowing that Zhao Zhen was never decisive and ruthless, although he was benevolent, but he lacked the persistent personality of dictatorship, and it was precisely because of his personality that Fan Zhongyan Qingli's new policy failed, and Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and others were not taken seriously.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change! Zhao Lei knew that no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't change the indecisive character of the official Zhao Zhen, so he could only reluctantly prepare to leave.

The official Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Lei's somewhat gloomy back when he turned to leave, remembered the guilt he felt for him, and couldn't help but say: "Zhao Aiqing! You've been here for more than two years! Your master, Tian Yandao, should have reached the three-year filial piety period! When Zhao Aiqing's wife comes to Bianjing, don't forget to let her come to the palace, the queen also wants to meet the famous goddess doctor! And your little concubine, the famous 'Hollow Valley Youlan Huangli Sheng' in Bianjing, let her come over! ”

This is the official Zhao Zhen's compensation for Zhao Lei in disguise, Zhao Lei has not long entered the officialdom, and he already has a second-grade false title and a fourth-grade substantive position, which is difficult to improve, so he can only compensate him from other aspects, and the two second-grade ladies are rewarded, which is Zhao Zhen's disguised compensation for Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei also understood this kind of compensation, and after turning around to thank him, he immediately thought about it, anyway, he and the official family are still young, he has a lot of time to affect Zhao Zhen's character, and a lot of time to change the situation of the Great Song Dynasty.

……

Prime Minister Lu Mansion, Lu Yijian sat in his position with a deep face, and the four boys of the Lu family all sat obediently in their positions, not daring to look at their father Lu Yijian with a deep face.

"Father!" The fifth son of the Lu family, Lu Gongyu, really couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, so he was the first to get up from his seat and said respectfully to Lu Yijian.

"Shut up! It's all you, the rebel, who actually fell into the well for Zhao Lei, messed up the relationship with him, so that the father could only use all means to suppress him and form a big enmity, and now Zhao Lei was re-hired by the official family, and was awarded the official position of Wailang, a member of the two cases of salt and iron, if you add the power of Wang Su and Fan Zhongyan and others, they are now strong enough to confront us and form this kind of enemy. It has a big impact on us, you rebel, do you know! Lu Yijian scolded his fifth son, Lu Gongyu.

Hearing Lu Yijian scolding angrily, Lu Gongru sat there resignedly, not daring to refute at all.

"Father, the fourth brother has also done it, it's useless to talk about it. Let's think about how to deal with Zhao Lei! Lu Gongxuan, the son of the Lu family, stood up and said at this time.

"Father, it's strange to say, Zhao Lei was wronged by Zhao Huaigu at the beginning, with the ability of Wang Su and others, it should be easy to influence the official family to re-investigate the case, why didn't they fight back at the beginning, but sat back and watched Zhao Lei be convicted?" Lu Gongbi, the second son of the Lu family, said to himself suspiciously at this time, he just wanted to relieve his father's anger. But it led to a big reflection on my father.

Hearing his son's words, Lu Yijian smiled bitterly, and said in an old tone: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves!" As a father, he never expected that Zhao Lei would actually play a trick and retreat into advance, and he also took the opportunity to gain the trust and guilt of the official family. What a calculation! The most important thing is that he succeeded, and he should give birth to a son like Zhao Sanjue! ”

After Lu Yijian finished speaking, he looked at the four sons in the room angrily, and the others didn't matter, but the young and vigorous Lu Gongru. In his heart, he was jealous and wanted to kill Zhao Lei, how could this proud son of heaven who had been smart since he was a child tolerate his father praising an enemy in person! Moreover, the basis of praise. Or build on the foundation of his failures.

Zhao Lei, I will definitely let you taste failure, and then you will be better off than dead! Lu Gongru thought of the gambling curse of great hatred in his heart.

"Father, it's useless to be angry now, let's think about how to treat Zhao Lei! Are we going to continue to be enemies of Zhao Lei now? Or do you want to find a way to turn enemies into friends with Zhao Lei? The three characters of the Lu family, Lu Gongzhu groaned, and said.

"Turn enemies into friends! It's easy to talk about, Zhao Lei didn't distinguish that time, and let Zhao Huaigu wronged him, probably watching who was a friend and who was an enemy. We have no intersection with Zhao Lei, so there is no way to take the initiative to show goodwill, and if we want to show goodwill, we must pay a certain price, and the child thinks that it is difficult for us and Zhao Lei to become friends. Lu Gongxuan, the son of the Lu family, thought about it and frowned and said.

"There is no eternal enemy in politics, Zhao Lei and us, it is just a battle of will, as long as there is a chance, it is not difficult to reconcile with him, the difficult thing is that there is a big gap between us and Zhao Lei, that is, power, Zhao Lei entered the officialdom, what is the purpose? Isn't it for the right, and our goal is to protect the rights in our hands, and Zhao Lei is to fight for the rights, between us, we can't be friends, we can only be enemies, so what we have to do now is not to reconcile with Zhao Lei, but to try our best to suppress him, so that he can't come out, and better protect the rights in our hands. Lu Yijian said cunningly.

"Since my father also said so, then let's prepare to deal with Zhao Lei now!" Lu Gongru was the happiest to hear such words, and immediately excitedly agreed.

"Sit down! When did you learn to be calmer? Lu Yijian saw his son Lu Gongru standing up and scolded angrily with an excited look.

Lu Gongru, who was scolded by his father again, sat down with a mutter.

"We can't move Zhao Lei now, now Zhao Lei is trusted by the official family, and is preparing to preside over the reform of salt tea, this is the most important thing for the imperial court now, the official family will not want anyone to destroy it, so at this time, not only can we not move Zhao Lei, but also spare no effort to help him." Lu Yijian said indifferently to his sons.

"Then when can we do it to Zhao Lei?" Lu Gongru was jealous again, and asked excitedly.

"Don't worry, it won't take long, Zhao Lei is different from us, since he is so close to Fan Zhongyan and others, he must be the same as Fan Zhongyan and them, he can't get used to all kinds of shortcomings in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, and he will definitely propose reform measures to the officials, once the reform begins, it will definitely cause strong disgust among the court officials, and as long as Zhao Lei makes a mistake, those officials who oppose the reform will rise up and attack him, and then it will be time for us to fall into the well to deal with Zhao Lei." Lu Yijian sneered and said to his sons.

I see! It seems that ginger is still old and spicy! The four sons of the Lu family, when they heard the words of their father Lu Yijian, thought of it with admiration in their hearts.

I can't help but say that there is no simple master among the officials who can rise and fall in the Great Song Dynasty! Lu Yijian was able to deduce from Zhao Lei's character and the personalities of his friends that Zhao Lei was a reformist and made a plan to deal with him, and his keen political sense was really terrifying.
