Ma Zhi's arrival made the Great Song Dynasty monarchs fall into excitement, for a few days, Zhao Zhen convened the ministers to discuss the matter, poor Zhao Ta, who had the most say on this matter, could only stand aside as a living puppet who could only listen to and could not speak, not even a cup of tea, he could only pray for them in his heart, Zhao Jie deeply agreed with everything Ma Zhi said, so he immediately appointed him as the secretary, gave the country the surname Zhao, and changed his name to Zhao Lianghe.

Zhao Ta watched coldly, watching the heated debate in the court. The initiator, Tong Guan, has been fighting in the northwest for many years, although there have been major lies in the military situation and heavy losses, but after all, he has won a lot of battles, at this time, he has been extremely inflated, but he is still very "calm" and knows that the reason why he can have today is still because of unparalleled military exploits. Now with the rise of Liang Shicheng and Wang Shea, as well as the rift between him and Cai Jing, these may make everything in his hands disappear in an instant. And if you want to keep all this, you can only keep fighting, trying to hold the crown in your hands, but it is a means of self-preservation.

And the reason that prompted the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty to play with fire is nothing more than the long-cherished wish of the dynasty, the sense of humiliation of reality, and then the mentality of taking advantage of the fire to rob. At this moment, it seems like a godsend, so that the monarchs and ministers, who do not have such qualifications at all and do not know it, are excited. In fact, throughout the hundred years of the Great Song Empire, the imperial monarchs and ministers have spent all the time in the two extremes of humiliation and calculation, this pair of hateful twins, congenital insufficiency, acquired disorders, stubborn and perverse, ugly and vicious, not cute at all, let the imperial monarchs and ministers who gave birth to them work hard, endure all the hardships, and their hearts, it is obvious that under the imperial tradition, this equation is in fact unsolvable. But from then on, the Great Song Empire was ready to move, and began to unite Jin to destroy Liao and restore Yanyun, but he didn't know that Lu Dao was seeking skin with the tiger.

After a few days, Zhao Ta was not without gain, at least he finally got the latest results of the Liao War at this time: the battle of Chuhedian, Wanyan Aguda defeated the Liao general Xiao Sixian with 10,000 troops, and the total strength development reached 10,000, and since then he has created the myth of "Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000 people, and Manchu is invincible", and announced the establishment of the country as the emperor this winter, and the year name was collected, and Aguda himself changed his name to "Wanyan Sui". opened the prelude to the destruction of the Liao State.

But after these unobtrusive people discussed, what should a group of people do, Tong Guan returned to the northwest, the emperor was busy writing and painting to find beautiful women, Cai Jing thought about how to make the emperor forget about this matter as soon as possible and put this time aside!

Zhao Ta's behavior in recent days was finally known by the queen, who called him into the palace and reprimanded him fiercely, and warned him not to mix with those people anymore and not learn well. Zhao Ta is an obedient child, he immediately knows his mistakes and corrects them, except for entering the palace every once in a while to ask for peace, he rarely goes out again, and stays in the house honestly every day.

Seeing that she had entered the wax moon, Zhao Ta went to ask her mother for an encore as usual on this day, and it happened that she went to Yanfu Palace today and didn't see her, but she met Huang Jingchen, this old man is obviously thinner now, and he looks a lot haggard, and it seems that his life in the palace is not very good. The two chatted for a while, and Huang Jingchen asked the prince to think of a way to let the emperor take care of himself, and he could go to Renming Hall to sit without trouble.

Since the early years of Zhenghe, Zhao Yuan's favored concubine is no longer Wang Guifei or even Empress Zheng but Empress Zheng's adopted daughter, posthumously named Liu Guifei and Mingda, but after she died two years ago, the emperor fell in love with Liu Guifei's adopted daughter, that is, his godniece, and now she is pampered in every way, and she is unwilling to leave for a moment.

"Uncle Huang, what does this smell like?" As the two were talking, Zhao Ta suddenly smelled a strange smell, and he sniffled and asked.

"It must be a few kitchen ladies who are fiddling with those tributes again!" Huang Jingchen frowned and said.

"Where is the tribute, why does it smell so bad!". Zhao Ta asked curiously.

"You go and get some for the prince!". Huang Jingchen knew that the prince liked to go into the kitchen to make some new things, and instructed the little yellow door on duty outside the door, "It's all some Zhancheng, and the things paid tribute to the Goryeo Tianning Festival taste very bad, and the emperor will reward the small kitchens in each palace, and they will be reorganized indiscriminately, I tasted it once, the taste is the same as chewing wax, and it is unpalatable!" ”。

Xiao Huangmen went quickly, and came back with a big bag of things while talking, Zhao Ta put it on the table and opened it to see, my mother, dried scallops, shark fins, sea cucumbers, abalone, shrimps, all seafood, "Uncle Huang, these are all good things, how can they be unpalatable!" ”。 He asked, surprised. ,

"Lord Wang, this thing is not delicious, the lady has rewarded the kitchen girls!" Xiao Huangmen also said that most of these things had never been seen by most of the imperial chefs in the palace, and he didn't understand how the prince could say that they were delicious.

"Don't talk nonsense, since the prince is interested, you can take a look everywhere, set up the boundary, and send it to Prince Chong's mansion! "Huang Jingchen knows the prince best, if he wants to say that it is a good thing, it must be a good thing, and it will never be bad."

"Uncle Huang, these things are absolutely delicious, wait for this day, you go out of the palace to my house, I will let you taste it!" Zhao Ta rubbed and said with a smile, this time he really picked up a treasure.

In fact, as early as the Tang Dynasty, Annam in the south of China is now the coast of Vietnam, began to make shark fin, sea cucumber and other seafood into food, some neighboring countries will be it as a tribute to the Chinese emperor, Zhao Ta has been strange that the palace food himself has eaten a few times, but did not find shark fin, sea cucumber these famous dishes of later generations, he also thought that he wore the age of no, the original emperor received shark fin tribute, and rewarded it to the cooks, and can only blame them for not discovering the delicacy of these things, but shark fin is not delicious, It is the chef who turns it into a delicacy, some seafood itself is tasteless, its taste, all brought by condiments, if there is no fresh material, it must taste the same as chewing wax, and it can only be blamed that the current chefs have not yet understood the true meaning of cooking "tasteful taste, tasteless taste".

Mother's business is his own business, Zhao Ta took it without hesitation, said goodbye to Huang Jingchen, the time was still early, Zhao Ta turned to Lingxiao Palace, and wanted to see his junior brother Wang Laozhi. In the past, he had been living in Cai Jingfu, and it was not convenient for him to come to the house by himself, and a few days ago I heard that he had moved out of Cai's mansion, so I just went to visit. When he got there, he asked someone, and the Taoist priest who received him was very surprised, but he still led Zhao Ta and his party to Wang Laozhi's residence, "Cao, why do you live in such a place?" ”。 Zhao Jing arrived in front of the door and scolded secretly, this house may be the most inferior room in Lingxiao Palace, not much better than the firewood room in his own house, and when he saw his junior brother Wang Laozhi, his appearance was even more terrifying, wearing an old Taoist robe, sitting there like a zombie wearing a bed book, his face was gray, Yintang was black, I don't know if Lu Dao is frozen, or excited, trembling, I don't need to count Zhao Ta to know that this kid is either sick or unlucky!

"Senior brother......" Wang Laozhi saw "relatives, reluctantly got up and made a joke, and said with tears in his eyes."

"Why is my junior brother still so bitter, weren't you given a name by your father and have a good fortune? Zhao Ta asked, now Taoist priests are the same as government civil servants, divided into twenty-six ranks, all of which are paid according to rank, and high-ranking cadres like Wang Laozhi earn a lot.

"Senior brother, it's hard to put it into words...... Wang Laozhi sighed and said, after he entered Beijing, he wrote the late Liu Guifei's private words when he served Zhao Yi with his friends before his death, and his reputation was greatly enhanced. It's really spiritual, every day is like a market, and after a long time, it makes Cai Jing unhappy.

Cai Jing has a reason to be angry, there is a fun phenomenon in officialdom, whether it is ancient or modern, people who are officials are superstitious, they want a future, they want to be rich, but these things are not acquired factors such as level and hard work can be done in place. It's more about luck, it's the unpredictable and elusive favor of the superiors, and this very ethereal thing is decisive. Even in good fortune, an unexpected event ruined everything. Now the officialdom respects Cai Jing as his own father, Wang Laozhi eats and drinks his own, and raises him in the house as a father, but he kills out to grab business, after he calculates, the officials have the bottom in their hearts, and the corresponding deterrence is greatly reduced, can he not be annoyed?

So Cai Jing wrote a concerto, asking Zhao Wei to order the scholars to strictly prohibit fortune-telling and maintain the discipline of the official team! Wang Laozhi was silent, he closed the door and refused to see guests, usually he lived a frugal life more hard, only ate one meal a day, all the meals were just four taels of soup cakes, plus a set of winter and summer clothes, and lived the past days, thinking about waiting for the big guy to change his mind, but he didn't expect Cai Jing to be more ruthless, a few months ago, he found a peer Wang Zixi, who was also raised in his own house, and introduced to the emperor after packaging and starmaking, obviously wanting to use the two of them to weaken his influence.

It is said that peers are enemies, two masters are under the same roof, but one is a legitimate favorite, the other is frustrated, Wang Laozhi wisely moved out, but the world is hot and cold, and the people who used to worship him as a god are alienated, and now he is riddled with diseases, and he can't go back if he wants to go home!

"Senior brother, save me! Wang Laozhi seems to know that he relies on his own "Taoism, but he can't fight Wang Zaixi, so he can only ask him for help."

"Senior brother, don't panic, wait for me to calculate!". Zhao Ta pinched the magic trick in his hand, squinted his eyes, thinking about the treasure book "History of the Song Dynasty" that he had read in his previous life, now he is fucking messed up, Wang Laozhi should not be dead, it is likely that he was "changed his life" by himself, and he was not guaranteed to be in his later years, this kid is more upright than a few Taoist priests who are favored behind, and he has said good things for himself, and he is also "his own person", he is not bad for himself, how can he not care about it!

"Guilt!". I don't know if the history of Lu Dao will change too much, Wang Zaixi should have fought with Cai Jing and was starved to death in prison, Zhao Ta recalled and wrote down two words.

"Senior brother is saying that Wang Zai's days are running out?" Wang Laozhi looked at the two words, and the blue cage popped out of his eyes and said.

"Stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood!". Zhao Ta didn't answer his question directly, and said with a profound smile, "I have no one in charge of a small view in my house, and I want to invite my junior brother to go." ”。 Zhao Ta said again.

"I can't ask for it! Wang Laozhi is an understanding person, if he stays like this, I don't know if Lu Dao can survive this winter, so he immediately responded.

"Fuck, I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, and I found two idle things for myself, I really didn't have anything to do!". The great god Zhao Ta couldn't help but complain as soon as he went out. (To be continued.) ）
