- Between Luoyang and Kaifeng, there are only 400 miles, and the post road is like a meteor, and the morning and evening come.

It was a day of torrential rain and lightning, and Zhao Zhen was in the palace, agreeing with the prime ministers on the arrangements after the forbidden army cleared the vacancies...... It is impossible to simply lay off so many vacancies, on the contrary, it is necessary to make up for the lack of personnel so that the forbidden army can restore its combat effectiveness. Therefore, how much to keep and how much to reduce is a big issue, and it will inevitably cause fierce disputes.

Naturally, the three divisions wanted to make more cuts to reduce the financial pressure. Naturally, the Privy Council wanted to keep more to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, while the Zhongshu Province wanted to help the emperor balance the two, so that the results would take into account national defense and finance.

The princes were fighting each other, and Zhao Zhen asked the imperial chef to prepare meals for them, and when they were full of food and drink, they could continue to fight again...... The ministers were so excited about this that some of them burst into tears. It's not because they are cheap, the Great Song Dynasty is the most favored dynasty in history, without one, what kind of grace will not move them, let alone a mere imperial meal?

What excited them was the change in the official family - the emperor, who had been neglecting government for many years, was finally willing to work overtime! This is a signal to cheer up!

While the ministers were eating, they said excitedly: "The Great Song Dynasty is finally about to usher in a turning point!" ’

Zhao Zhen also accompanied them to eat, but his diet was very light, not even as rich as the minister's. In this regard, the ministers have criticized it, believing that it is not in line with the superiority and inferiority. But Zhao Zhen said that light and light is the way to maintain health. The ministers said, then we will also accompany the light. Zhao Zhen was not allowed to say: "Others will think that the widow has treated Zaifu slowly, which makes the world cold." ’

So this unique wonder of the ages was staged in the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen was already a little full at the moment, and was holding a bowl of two-rice porridge, drinking it slowly. Suddenly, I saw Li Xian hurrying in from outside the palace gate, and reported in a low voice: "Luoyang is eight hundred miles in a hurry." ”

The ministers stopped their chopsticks and put down their bowls almost at the same time.

"Continue to eat," Zhao Zhen smiled faintly: "Those who take great responsibility, when Mount Tai collapses in front of him, he will not change color." Only then did he say to Li Xian: "Present it." ”

"Whoa." Li Xianying turned out. When he returned, he was followed by a soaking wet messenger, who had dried his body, but with every step he took, he still left a wet footprint on the floor tiles of the palace.

According to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, if it is not a major event of the country, it is not allowed to use 800 miles to expedite. And eight hundred miles expedited. It must also be opened in front of the emperor.

It is impossible for Wen Yanbo not to know the severity, so although Zhao Zhen is calm on his face, his heart is still shrunk.

Manager Hu took the letter, checked the seal and signed it, and only after confirming that it was correct, did he give it to the official.

Zhao Zhen took it, picked up the letter opener on the table, cut the seal, took out the letter inside, and unfolded it......

A bolt of lightning streaked across the night sky. Suddenly, the wind and rain became stronger. The torrential rain swept into the temple gates from afar, from all directions, with a sharp whistling sound. The windows of the palace creaked, and the veils fluttered. The red candles and palace lamps in the hall were also blown violently, and all kinds of shadows shook with them, like a group of demons dancing wildly.

Despite this, the ministers still saw that the official's face was completely bloodless, and his body trembled slightly. A pair of eyes stared at the letter as if they were about to set it on fire.

"It's closed, the temple door is about to be closed!" Mr. Hu ordered in a low voice to a small yellow door.

A few small eunuchs guarding the entrance of the palace. Hurry up against the wind. Painstakingly closing the door of the temple from the inside out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Easily, under the strong wind, the eunuchs finally closed the door of the palace, and the violent wind and rain were locked out of the palace, and the sound was much quieter.

After the light shadow stopped shaking, the ministers saw that the official's expression had returned to calm, but his face was still pale.

Zhao Zhen slowly put the letter into his sleeve, spit out a mouthful of turbid breath and said, "Go on......" His voice trembled and tightened, obviously forcing calm.

"It's not early, let's discuss it another day." Fu Bi is no longer ignorant, and he can see that the official family is suppressing his anger, not to mention discussing national affairs in this state, even if he talks well, it is impossible: "The official family should rest early." ”

As for what happened, since Zhao Zhen didn't say it, he naturally wouldn't ask.

"It's fine." Zhao Zhen nodded slowly.

"The ministers are leaving." All the ministers got up together to salute, and when they saw Zhao Zhen nodding slightly, they walked towards the palace gate.

"Bao Qing's family, you stay for a while......" When the ministers were about to leave the palace, Zhao Zhen spoke again.

Bao Zheng stood still and walked back.

The rest of the people left the palace and came to the entrance of the vertical arch hall.

Under the eaves of the corridor, a group of small yellow doors wearing raincoats are already waiting there. The officials were sympathetic to the important ministers and gave them to carry the public opinion in the palace in pairs...... The so-called double lift looks like driving a chair with two poles, which is not very comfortable, but it is much easier than measuring the ground with your feet.

The point is, it's a favor to be written in an epitaph after death.

On a sunny day, these sedan chairs are waiting outside the vertical arch, but in case of such bad weather, they will greet you at the entrance of the palace, and of course they will add a rainproof cover to the lift.

Before getting into the sedan chair, Fu Bi glanced back at the closed door of the palace, sighed deeply, turned his head, he looked at Han Qi and said, "Is there someone making trouble......

This headless sentence made Han Qi stunned, and at this moment, as soon as the lightning flashed, the heavens and the earth were as bright as day, illuminating the faces of the ministers with different expressions...... Some are full of nervousness, some are full of worry, and some are frowning slightly, as if they are thinking about something.

Han Qi opened his mouth to say something, but just as the thunder exploded in his ears, no one heard it clearly. By the time the thunder had passed, he was already seated in the carry.

But Fu Bi has been friends with him for decades, just by looking at the lip shape, you can know what he said:

'It's raining, my mother wants to get married!' ’

"Can't anyone stop you?" Fu Bi couldn't help but be stunned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beijing, the Daimyo Mansion, a good sunny day.

Zhao Zongshi gave an order, and those officers who were under house arrest suffered. Originally, although I couldn't go out, I could still eat and drink well, and I was full. Now, who can stand not even being given food? One by one, they were so hungry that they couldn't get up, and they couldn't stand it.

The officials on Hebei Road couldn't look down on it, originally for the sake of you being the future crown prince, let you, if you don't have the same knowledge as you, why did you kick your nose in the face and don't give any face?

I really think I can't deal with you? It's just a laugh.

So two days later, the border police were everywhere, and a copy of the newspaper was handed to the Daimyo's mansion with smoke and fire, saying that the Liao people took advantage of the Song Dynasty's army not allowed to go out to greet them, and wantonly crossed the border, burning, killing and looting.

Zhao Zongshi was unmoved at first, but the border troubles became more and more serious, the number of dead, injured and missing people continued to rise, and there was even a tragedy in which the entire village was slaughtered...... At least that's how it was reported. The officials of the Daimyo Mansion were alarmist in his ears all day long, as if the ban was not lifted, the Liao people would invade on a large scale, and the Great Song Dynasty would be wiped out.

Zhao Zongji panicked now, he wasn't worried about the Liao State coming...... The credibility of the Liao people is still good, and on the occasion when the two countries have just signed a treaty, they will take the opportunity to cross the border to threshing grass, but they will never attack on a large scale. But the three of them became tigers, he was worried about the rumors in the capital, worried about whether those Qingliu ministers would regard themselves as 'cool officials', worried about whether the officials would think they were incompetent, worried about whether those who supported Hebei Jiangmen would advocate the threat theory of the Liao State and incite the imperial court to transfer him back.

This is my first errand, and if it ends in disgrace, what should I do......

Although his face was still silent, someone had already seen through his psychology from the change in his demeanor.

On this day, Zhao Zongshi was signing the detention room to review the documents. As soon as he sat down, he saw Yin Li Zhaoliang of the Daimyo Mansion, striding in with a red face.

Zhao Zongshi hurriedly got up to greet him, smiled and said: "I heard that the old man occasionally felt cold, and I wanted to take care of the errand and go over to see you, but I didn't want you to come here." Saying that, he looked at it and said, "It should be good to look at the complexion!" ”

Li Zhaoliang only smiled, waved his hand to make everyone retreat, picked up the hem of his clothes and sat down, and said with a smile: "The little prince is worried about me, and I am even more worried about you!" The old man's illness is still cured, but when will the little prince's illness be cured? "Qiu Ba is Qiu Ba, and he won't turn around when he gets old.

"What's wrong with me?" Zhao Zongshi said with a smile: "I can eat and sleep, and my health is good." ”

"The little prince is suffering from the disease of false fire and fever, and he has to take some cold medicine to relieve the fire." Li Zhaoliang said with a smile: "It's okay to avoid medical treatment. ”

Zhao Zongshi scolded in his heart: "What kind of medicine did Lao Qiu Ba prescribe? You have to drag people to death. ’

Seeing that he was silent, Li Zhaoliang smiled again: "Little prince, don't be careful, you ask yourself how I treat you after coming to the Daimyo's Mansion?" ”

"Wholeheartedly."

"Have you ever been stumbling up?"

"I've been very cooperative." Zhao Zongshi's face softened a lot.

"Yes, the old man has been pressing those eight lambs." Li Zhaoliang said with a smile: "I didn't want to say this to the little prince, I'm getting old, I can't rub my face, and I don't want to be like a show of merit." ”

"Thank you, old man, for taking care of you." Zhao Zongshi stood up and saluted: "If you don't say these things, I don't know yet." ”

"The little prince should understand the old minister's intentions now, right?" Li Zhaoliang looked at him fixedly, and said with a smile. This is blatant, and in the current situation, it cannot be more straightforward.

"Understood." Zhao Zongshi nodded, a little excited: "What else do you not understand?" ”

"Since the little prince understands, then I'll tell you a few heart-wrenching words." Li Zhaoliang smiled and said-
