In the imperial city, it was not very late, but because of the Qian family's case, the Empress Dowager Liu E and the emperor had not been idle recently.

It was only at night, when the palace gates were closed, that it was cleared.

But Zhao Zhen is a diligent person, although most of the power of the imperial court is now held by the Empress Dowager Liu E, but he still conscientiously goes to the imperial study after dinner to review the folds as usual, but tonight is an exception.

He did not go to the imperial study, but went to Liu 'e to ask for peace, because it was Chinese New Year's Eve soon, and at this time, many princes whose royal families were divided into various places also returned to Beijing, and some were old or could not come for reasons, and they also sent their children to the capital.

Most of these young talents of the royal family and the county lords are lively and active people, and they usually like to play in the palace, and they also invite Liu E to sing and dance in the palace together.

When people get older, they can see a little more openly, and now she doesn't feel noisy when she sees these young people in the royal family playing together, but she is very happy.

The history books say that Liu E 'has the talent of Lu Wu and no evil of Lu Wu', which means that Liu E has the same talent as Empress Lu of the Han Dynasty and the famous empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, but Liu E is different from the above two, that is, she is not as ruthless as Lu Pheasant, nor does she change the dynasty and call herself emperor like the empress Wu Zetian, in the end, Liu E is still a very well-behaved daughter-in-law of the Zhao family!

Of course, this is not to say that Liu E has not done some bad things before, for example, after Zhenzong's death, in order to stabilize the court situation, in order to prevent her and the current emperor's orphans and widows from being bullied, she favored Ding Wei to be a traitor, and released Kou Zhun and other old ministers to belittle.

Now the government has stabilized. The emperor also grew up a little, but Liu E was reluctant to completely let go of the power in his hands, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of those scholars, and later because of the queen mother's return to power, there were also a few troubles, at that time Liu E did stir up the government of the Great Song Dynasty into darkness, so that people could not see the way out. However, with the death of Wang Ruoqin and the expulsion of Ding Wei and others, Liu E also began to gradually change his strategy of governing his subjects, and the government of the Song Dynasty also began to rebound.

The emperor has ruled, but Liu E is a minister, she doesn't need the stability of the country, in her opinion, it is all the affairs of the courtiers, and what she needs is that she and the emperor's mother and son are very safe, so she has to use some means against her courtiers.

In fact, Liu E has always done this, and she knows how to balance it very well. For example, he now reuses Lu Yijian as the prime minister, but he also knows how to contain it, so he immediately sent a few old ministers to Zhongshu to serve as deputy prime ministers.

Old and old, Liu E is not confused, unlike her husband Wannian.

Of course, Liu E knows what these princes and county lords like, they have come all the way to the capital, in addition to coming to the queen mother and the emperor to pay New Year's greetings and worship the ancestors of the imperial tomb, naturally they also want to see the prosperity of the capital. and the world-famous talents of Beijing!

As the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, Bianliang can be said to have gathered the elite talents of the entire Great Song Dynasty. In the capital, you can see that the streets and alleys are full of talented people wearing green cloth shirts and scholarly hats, and even ordinary people talk about the romantic affairs of those talented people.

It happened that tonight I heard that Song Qi was invited to the Huancai Pavilion to help the Bai Yujiao girl of the Soft Love Pavilion write lyrics, so these princes and county lords moved their minds.

But the imperial city of the Great Song Dynasty is very strict, and there is another one in the ancestral training, that is, after the imperial city is closed at night. No one can open it, the main reason for this is that they are afraid that someone will suddenly carry out a coup d'état, and they will enter the palace in any confusion, and any of the world will change hands!

I have to say that the brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi replaced the Chai family by themselves, which also made them feel a little grass and trees in their hearts, for fear that their subordinates would also come to this trick in the future. Then Zhao Kuangyin released the military power with a glass of wine, confiscated all the generals who followed him to fight the world, and also made a rule that the imperial city was not allowed to be opened at night!

In the face of this iron-like rule, those princes and county lords have no way, but they have no way, but the queen mother Liu E has a way, so these people came to beg the queen mother, Liu E was happy because she looked at the Zhao family's full of children and grandchildren, so she agreed to send a few eunuchs out of the imperial city in the hanging basket of the palace gate to inquire about the news, and the centrist came to report quickly.

It was also for this reason that Zhao Zhen also came, he asked Liu E for peace, and then accepted the visit of those clan brothers and sisters or juniors, so he sat down at Liu E's head and asked: "Queen Mother, I heard that Huancai Pavilion has begun to write words!" ”

"The emperor also came here because he wanted to listen to Xiao Song's words?"

Liu E smiled kindly and said, "Don't worry, someone will present Xiao Song's lyrics in a while." ”

Among the royal family, there are also people who come to the south, for example, King Yan's son and daughter are here, because King Yan is old, Zhao Zhen asked Zhao Yuncheng's daughter Zhao He: "Uncle Wuwang has been in good health recently?" ”

Zhao He got up and replied: "It's still the same as when I was recuperating in the capital, sometimes good and sometimes bad!" ”

"When you go back, remember to ask the waiter to get some nourishing things and bring them back to Uncle Wang to recuperate!"

Zhao Zhen cared for a while, and then asked the other people about their current situation, these people are all clan relatives who have been divided into other places, and it is rare for them to enter Beijing, so Zhao Zhen's temperament is naturally trying to find a way to give them some preferential treatment.

Seeing that the mother and son of the queen mother and the emperor are such peaceful people, everyone is also a lot more relaxed, Zhao Shiyao, the sister of Zhao He who Zhao Zhen asked before, said boldly: "The queen mother, the emperor's brother, Yao'er heard that this time in the Huancai Pavilion, the famous little Song Xianggong also asked for the help of our Xiangfan's talent, this person's name is Shen Yuguan, known as 'Poetry Seal Xiangfan', when he was in Xiangzhou before, this person was famous, and he is estimated to be able to compose poems later!" ”

She said with great interest, in fact, she also wanted to show her face in front of Liu E and Zhao Zhen, proving that Xiangfan is also a place where talents can be produced.

Liu E was surprised when she heard this, and asked, "Oh? Could it be that this talented man of 'Poetry Seal Xiangfan' is a few points stronger than Xiao Song? ”

Zhao Shiyao was scared, who is Xiao Song?

That was the champion, and his words were spread to the whole country in the capital, no matter how powerful Shen Yuguan was, he could just write a few poems, in Zhao Shiyao's opinion, he was definitely not comparable to Song Qi.

So Zhao Shiyao hurriedly shook her head and said, "Yao'er didn't say that!" ”

She is not very old, that is, thirteen or fourteen years old, with fair skin and a smart voice, and there is some baby fat on that beautiful face, she looks like a very cute little Lori!
