In order to let Zhao Yan relax as soon as possible after returning home, Cao Ying helped him pinch his shoulders while telling him about family affairs, such as a few children in the family who bullied people again, who wrote a few more big words today, memorized an extra article, etc., although they are all small things, but they are Zhao Yan's usual favorite to hear, but at the beginning, Zhao Yan was still interested in discussing a few words with Cao Ying, but after a while, Cao Ying couldn't get a response from Zhao Yan no matter what she said, when she looked down, it turned out that Zhao Yan actually fell asleep by the bath.

Seeing Zhao Yan's sleeping appearance, Cao Ying's face flashed with pity again, and she didn't wake him up again at the moment, but called Xiaodou Sprouts and Mi Xue, these two girls have grown up, and they can be regarded as Zhao Yan's people in the room, but Zhao Yan has never had a round room with them, and the little bean sprouts that have been missing roots and tendons feel nothing, but Mi Xue has some resentment.

At that moment, the master and servant helped Zhao Yan up from the bath, helped him dry his body and changed into a nightgown, and finally sent him to Cao Ying's bedroom to rest.

After sending the door to the room, Cao Ying returned to the bedside, originally she also wanted to lie down and rest, but when she saw Zhao Yan's calm face after falling asleep, she suddenly sat next to Zhao Yan gently, and then reached out and touched Zhao Yan's cheek, and murmured in an inaudible voice: "Silly husband, the harder you work, I'm afraid the eldest brother's illness will be more serious, and the eldest brother's heart disease may not be cured!" ”

Regarding the aggravation of Zhao Ji's condition, many people, including Zhao Yan, can't understand that Zhao Ji is obviously no longer dealing with government affairs, but why is there a situation where he is still overthinking and causing his condition to worsen? Even Cao Tong and Zhilugu, the two miracle doctors who treated Zhao Ji, couldn't figure it out, and at first they even thought that they had made a wrong diagnosis. But the two of them are already the top doctors in this era, and it is impossible for them to have the same misdiagnosis.

However, after the diagnosis results of Cao Tong and Zhilugu came out, a few people quickly figured out the reason, but even if these people figured it out, they didn't dare to spread it, because this matter was too damaging. If anyone dares to go out and say it clearly, no matter what his identity is, he will definitely not end well.

It just so happened that Cao Ying guessed one of the reasons for the aggravation of Zhao Xu's condition, in fact, the reasons are not complicated, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than the hurdle in Zhao Xu's heart, before he resolutely supported the change, but as a result, it was a mess inside and outside the court, and finally he wanted to use the recovery of Yanyun to divert the attention of the country, but he didn't expect to trap the army again. There were also rebellions in the country, which almost made the Great Song Dynasty embark on the road to ruin.

But now that Zhao Yan is the regent, he has not only solved the rebellions in various parts of the country, so that the situation in the country has gradually begun to improve, and he has now begun to improve the new law left before, if it is just abolished, the key is that Zhao Yan will improve some of the new laws available, so that the new law will be rejuvenated. The people in the country were also cheering, which made Zhao Yan's prestige reach a peak.

For Zhao Yan to achieve so much. Zhao Yan didn't feel jealous of Zhao Yan, but he compared his political measures over the years with Zhao Yan's political measures in just a few months, but found that he was almost completely defeated by Zhao Yan, which made him a little suspicious of himself, and even began to doubt whether he was right to be the emperor, if Zhao Yan could be the emperor at the beginning. It must be much better than him, maybe now that even the Liao Kingdom has been destroyed, how can he be so embarrassed like himself?

It is precisely because of the above that Zhao Ji is difficult day and night, and his illness needs to be recuperated with peace of mind. But watching his younger brother achieve more and more achievements, the more frustrated he felt in his heart, which directly led to overthinking, and as a result, his condition did not improve, but became more and more serious, and it can even be said that the greater Zhao Yan's achievements, the more uncomfortable Zhao Yan's heart became, and the condition naturally could not get better.

However, although Cao Ying knew very clearly, he never told Zhao Yan, because if Zhao Yan knew about this matter, it would definitely put him in a dilemma, after all, he is now the regent, and it is impossible not to work hard to do what he is doing, but the better he does, the more serious Zhao Yan's illness may be, and then how to let Zhao Yan choose, you can't let Zhao Yan deliberately do something wrong in order to make Zhao Yan's condition better, right? You must know that every government policy may be related to the livelihood of tens of thousands of people.

In addition, even if Zhao Yan chooses to take the initiative to do something wrong and let Zhao Yan feel relieved, but Zhao Yan is not a fool, obviously Zhao Yan performed very well before, but now he deliberately does something wrong, which will definitely only make Zhao Yan think more, and then not only will not relieve Zhao Yan's heart, but it will also make Zhao Yan's heart even heavier.

"Alas, I hope you never know about it, husband, so as not to add trouble to yourself!" At this time, I saw Cao Ying whispering again, and then sighed deeply, and didn't say anything for a long time.

Zhao Yan in his sleep naturally didn't hear Cao Ying's words, the next day was not yet dawn, he got up early as usual, and it was just dawn when he had breakfast, and the children hadn't woken up yet, Zhao Yan couldn't say goodbye to the children, so he could only go to the children's room and kiss them, and then left home.

When he came to the political hall, Zeng Gongliang and Chen Shengzhi and other ministers had already come, and Zhao Yan also admired them, after all, he was only temporarily playing the role of Zhao Xu, but Zeng Gongliang and these people have been getting up every day for more than ten years, and this perseverance alone is not comparable to others.

During this time, after Zhao Yan's improvement of the new law, that is, to achieve the effect that the new law wanted to achieve, and to eliminate the bad influence caused by the original, which also made the situation in the Great Song Dynasty more and more stable, and the various places slowly showed a prosperous scene, although it has not reached the grand occasion before Zhao Shu's death, but I believe that in a few years, the situation in the Great Song Dynasty will be better than at the beginning.

To be able to achieve the above effect, it is said that Zhao Yan should also be satisfied, but he still has one important thing to do, and he happens to be free today, so he asked Zeng Gongliang and the four of them to stop the affairs at hand first, and then he spoke: "Everyone has worked hard, after everyone's efforts during this time, all aspects of our Great Song Dynasty have finally recovered some, but today this king still has an important thing to discuss with you!" ”

"Regent, please!" Zeng Gongliang and others are also very respectful, during this time Zhao Yan also established his position in the political hall, after all, he was able to bring the Great Song Dynasty back to the road of prosperity and stability with his own ability, which made everyone have to admire, even Lu Huiqing also had some respect for Zhao Yan.

"This is about the army, last year's Manichaean rebellion, the Hebei Army was trapped in Liaodong, and there were originally still the Northwest Forbidden Army and the Beijing Forbidden Army, but the Beijing Forbidden Army obviously had more than 100,000 troops, but why did no one propose to send the Beijing Forbidden Army to encircle and suppress, but instead put the 30,000 Western Army that was finally transferred into the encirclement and suppression of the rebels?" Zhao Yan first pointed out that this matter was about the army, and then mentioned the issue of the forbidden army in the capital, Zeng Gongliang and they were all old and sophisticated, so they naturally understood Zhao Yan's intentions at once.

"Qiyu Regent, the reason why I didn't consider sending the Beijing Forbidden Army to encircle and suppress the new army at the beginning is that the Beijing Forbidden Army guards the important places in the capital, and generally speaking, it must not be moved, and the second is that the combat effectiveness of the Beijing Forbidden Army is low, and at the same time, it is related to the dignity of the imperial court. I saw Zeng Gongliang and the others think about it for a moment, and finally the more old-fashioned Sima Guang took the lead in speaking.

"Sima Xianggong's analysis is extreme, but on the one hand, the Beijing Forbidden Army has a heavy responsibility, on the other hand, it has not been on the battlefield for a long time, and its combat effectiveness has declined greatly, which is also a well-known thing, but if you think about it, the Beijing Forbidden Army obviously holds the most generous military salary in the army and is equipped with the latest weapons and armor, why is their combat effectiveness not comparable to the Western Army, which is also a forbidden army?" Zhao Yan spoke again at this time, and at the same time asked a rhetorical question at the end.

Everyone knew Zhao Yan's question and agreed, but Zeng Gongliang, Chen Shengzhi, and Lu Huiqing were reluctant to say it, because it would offend some people, but Sima Guang was not afraid, so he replied again: "The reason why the forbidden army in the capital is not as good as the Western Army is because it has been stationed near the capital all the year round and has not been on the battlefield for nearly a hundred years, so naturally it cannot be compared with the Western Army stationed in the frontier, and even the Hebei Army, which has just recovered, is much stronger than them." ”

"Yes, the forbidden army in the capital is useless because it has been peaceful for a long time, but an army has lost even the most basic combat effectiveness, so why does the imperial court spend a huge amount of military pay to feed these hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in the capital?" When Zhao Yan said the end, his face couldn't help but show a trace of fierceness.

In the difficulty of Jingkang in later generations, the strength of the Great Song Dynasty was actually above the Jin State, but when the Jin soldiers besieged the capital, they easily defeated the capital, in addition to the main reason that the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers were afraid of war, in addition to the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in the capital were also useless, otherwise if the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in the capital were replaced by the same number of Western troops, it would be absolutely impossible for the Jin State to take the capital, but unfortunately the Western army of the Great Song Dynasty had been exhausted at that time, and it was no longer possible to protect the land of the Great Song Dynasty. It is precisely for this reason that Zhao Yan made up his mind to reorganize the forbidden army in the capital, and he must not let the forbidden army in the capital become a kind of goods built with a lot of money!
