In the warm pavilion in the front garden of the Yue Wang's courtyard, Zhao Yan sat there, Su Song, Su Song, Zeng Bu and Zhang Dian were also here, and there was a sumptuous wine banquet in front of the five people to eat and chat.

"Your Royal Highness, the King of Wei has entered the palace with Xing Shu, according to the people who saw him, the King of Wei is full of spring breeze, it seems that he has also made up his mind to go to Yuezhou this time." At this time, I saw Zhang Dian raise his wine glass and said with a smile, the unstable situation in Yuezhou in the court that day was completely a trap set by them, in order to lead Zhao Hao out of Beijing.

"My second brother has always been reluctant to the throne, and he likes to make ghosts in secret, so it's good for him to go to the south to suffer a little!" Zhao Yan also said with a smile at this time, all of them were his henchmen and friends, and they had already known that Zhao Hao was secretly provoking the relationship between Zhao Yan and Zhao Xu, and they didn't want any more turmoil on the throne, so they naturally didn't want to see Zhao Hao making waves in the court.

"Your Royal Highness, although the matter of Yuezhou is to lead the King of Wei out of Beijing, it is also a fact that the situation there is unstable, if the King of Wei goes there and cannot appease the people, maybe the situation in Yuezhou will deteriorate, and it will be difficult to clean it up at that time!" At this time, Su Song suddenly said with some worry, as the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, he naturally took the overall situation into account when considering things.

"It's okay, in fact, I haven't let my guard down for those remnants of Jiaozhi, and I have long wanted to catch them all, but they are also very cunning, and they have been nesting in the jungle and not coming out, this time they finally couldn't help jumping out, and they just solved it together, so as not to worry about these people in the future." Zhao Yan laughed when he heard Su Song's words.

Although he left the south, his control over the south has not relaxed at all, such as the matter of Yuezhou, Hu Yanping and Hu Yanqing brothers have already led troops to Qiongzhou, closely monitoring the changes in Yuezhou, just waiting for all the remnants of Jiaozhi to jump out. Their army will be killed immediately, and the hidden danger of Yuezhou will be completely solved.

Hearing Zhao Yan say this, Su Song was relieved. The next few discussed some major events in the court, for example, the most famous thing during this period was the serious illness and dying of Lü Gongzhu, who was also a backbone figure in the old party, and was relegated to other places because of his opposition to the new law. After the Empress Dowager Gao took power, she edicted him back, worshiped the servant under the door, shot the right servant of the Shangshu, and served as the servant of the Zhongshu, and assisted the government with Sima Guang, but this year Lu Gongshu is more than 70 years old, and he has a serious illness after entering the winter, and now he is still bedridden, and it is said that it is difficult to survive this winter.

Lu Gongshu is one of the prime ministers of the DPRK and China. If he dies, someone will definitely fill his vacancy, and both Zeng Bu and Zhang Dian are eyeing him, but the two of them belong to the Fa-Chang faction, and with Empress Dowager Gao's prejudice against the Fa-changers and Sima Guang's dislike for the Fa-changers, it is estimated that the two of them are extremely unlikely to want to worship each other.

"Actually, it's not just Lu Xianggong, Your Highness, you may not know that Sima Xianggong's body may not be able to support it!" At this time. I saw that Su Song suddenly sighed and said at this time.

"Brother Zirong, why did he say this, at the time of today's court meeting. I see that Sima Xianggong still seems to be in good spirits, and there is nothing sick about it? As soon as Su Song's words fell, Su Shi preemptively spoke, although he and Sima Guang had different political opinions, their friendship with each other was good, so they couldn't help but feel a little anxious when they heard Su Song's words.

Zhao Yan was also stunned when he heard Su Song's words. Then stared at Su Song and waited for his next step, only to see Su Song sigh again at this time and said: "In fact, as early as two years ago, shortly after Your Majesty ascended the throne, Sima Xianggong fell ill due to heart disease, and he was almost unable to be saved at that time. Fortunately, thanks to the treatment of Dr. Cao, he finally saved his life, but his heart disease could not be eradicated at all, and could only be relieved by medicine every day, but during this time his condition became more and more serious, and he suddenly fainted when he met the Queen Mother a few days ago, but the news was blocked by the Queen Mother, and Sima Xianggong's heart disease was no different from ordinary people when he did not attack, so outsiders did not notice it. ”

Zhao Yan was also stunned when he heard this, with his understanding, Sima Guang's heart disease is likely to be a heart attack, and what he is most afraid of this kind of disease is fatigue and irregular diet, but with Sima Guang's identity, it is common to deal with government affairs and work overtime, and there is no time to eat when he is busy, so it will naturally only make his condition worse and worse.

Hearing Su Song's words, Su Shi also showed a sad look on his face, but Zeng Bu and Zhang Dian glanced at each other, and they both saw a little happiness in each other's eyes, because since Sima Guang took office, they have also been vigorously suppressed against these law-changing factions, so standing in their position, they naturally want Sima Guang to die early.

"It looks like this winter is really tough!" Zhao Yan also sighed with emotion at this time, because he thought of Gu Tianjie and Huang Wude, who died before, in addition to Li Liangzuo, and now Sima Guang and Lu Gongshu may die at any time, whether these people are friends or enemies, they are all Zhao Yan's old people, and now these people are passing away one by one, which makes Zhao Yan also feel sad.

After the banquet dispersed, Zhao Yan personally sent Su Song and the others out of the mansion, and then came to the study alone, recalling his life in the past ten years after crossing over, everything seemed to be a dream, which made Zhao Yan also feel unreal.

"What do you want?" At this moment, I saw that the door of the study was opened, and then Cao Ying walked in with a smile on her face.

"Oh, nothing!" When Zhao Yan saw Cao Ying coming in, he immediately woke up from his daze and said, no matter whether life is a dream or not, at least the woman in front of him is his beloved wife, and there are also Xue Ning'er, Ouyang Wanling, and his own children, they are the driving force of his life.

Cao Ying also saw that Zhao Yan seemed to be thinking something just now, but Zhao Yan didn't say anything, so she didn't ask, and instead said with a smile: "Husband, today you invited Su Song and them to come to drink, I'm afraid that our second brother has fallen into your trap, right?" ”

"The lady is clever, the second brother has already entered the palace to see the queen mother, and it is estimated that there will be a formal appointment in the next two days." Zhao Yan also said with a smile at this time, he did not hide the trap he designed for Zhao Hao from Cao Ying, in fact, he discussed this matter with Cao Ying at the beginning, and then at Cao Ying's suggestion, Zhao Yan decided to trick Zhao Hao out of the capital, as long as Zhao Hao went to Yuezhou, then don't think about coming back in a short time, and the capital is missing him, Zhao Yan doesn't have to worry about someone stumbling behind his back.

"Giggles, I don't know what means the husband plans to use against King Wei?" Cao Ying smiled again at this time and said, although she proposed to transfer Zhao Hao out of the capital, but she only pointed out the general direction, and the specific matters were still discussed by Zhao Yan and others, so she didn't know much about this matter.

"Hehe, I prepared a lot of big meals for my second brother this time, just wait for him to taste it slowly!" Hearing Cao Ying ask this question, Zhao Yan couldn't help but smile sinisterly, although the big meals he prepared for Zhao Hao would not kill anyone, but Zhao Hao was afraid that he would have to suffer a lot, and he didn't want to come back in a short time.

At the same time, Zhao Hao was happily preparing for his southward trip, originally he was still a little hesitant about this matter, but after Xing Shu's persuasion, he also found that this was a rare opportunity, if this trip went well, not only could he increase his prestige, but also enhance his own strength, and when he returned to the capital again, he would definitely surprise everyone, and then he would go to his mother Empress Dowager Gao to move around more, and he would not be completely hopeless to regain the throne.

A few days later, the imperial court officially issued an order to canonize Zhao Hao as the pacification envoy of Yuezhou, Xing Shu as the deputy envoy, and many officials accompanying him, and the Empress Dowager Gao for Zhao Hao's safety, even sent a forbidden army of 3,000 people as a guard, in case the situation in Yuezhou is out of control, this army can also be used to quell the rebellion, it can be said that it is very thoughtful.

After getting the holy decree, Zhao Hao immediately impatiently led the team to leave the capital, speaking of which he grew so big, it was the first time to leave the capital, but he wanted to rush to Yuezhou quickly, so he had no intention of enjoying the scenery along the way, but he didn't know that this would make him fall into a big quagmire, and it was impossible to get out.

After Zhao Hao left the capital, Zhao Yan's life returned to calm again, and the Wanyan Department, which he regarded as the biggest threat, had been beaten to half-crippled, and now it is estimated that he is struggling in the deep mountains and old forests of Changbai Mountain, and the Liao State has also been half-abandoned. In the court, he had just taken Zhao Hao away, and Empress Dowager Gao would not provoke him easily.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yan lived very comfortably during this time, and even took a period of time to personally participate in the railway planning from Tokyo to Luoyang, before Wang Shu and Shen Kuo had developed the train and put it into practice, and Tokyo to Luoyang was the world's first railway, but this railway was completely funded by Zhao Yan, and of course, the income from the railway in the future also belonged to his Yue Wangfu.

In a blink of an eye, it will be the end of the year, and in two days it will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Yue Wang Mansion has also become very lively, not only the mansion must be ready for the New Year, but also countless people come to visit, and the front of the mansion is also full of people and cars, of course, Zhao Yan cannot be received by everyone, many people only want to be invited into the mansion to drink tea, so it is enough to make them feel that their faces are bright.

That afternoon, Zhao Yan met with a few relatives and friends who came to visit, and then was about to go back, but he didn't expect to receive another post, but when he saw this post, Zhao Yan was stunned, and then touched his chin and said to himself: "Why are they here again?"
