Chapter 743: Busy Zhao Yan

"Ahem, cough~" With a violent cough, Zhao Yan arched his waist in pain, and Zhao Yan stepped forward and patted him on the back and said, "Big brother, don't worry, take a breath slowly, so that you won't cough more!" ”

However, Zhao Ji, who had fallen into a violent cough, couldn't hear Zhao Yan's words at all, coughed for a while before slowly stopping, and then sat up straight, panting with a little abnormal flushing on his face, looking very sickly, but at this time, he saw that Zhao Yan still smiled at Zhao Yan and said, "It's okay, the third brother doesn't have to worry!" ”

Seeing Zhao Ji's appearance, Zhao Yan also sighed helplessly, even Cao Ji and Zhilugu were helpless about Zhao Ji's condition, saying that Zhao Ji was thinking too much, but he had obviously completely taken over government affairs, so that Zhao Ji had been freed from the heavy government affairs, but why Zhao Ji's condition was still not half a point better, but became more and more serious, Zhao Ji could barely walk a few steps with the support of others, but now it is difficult to even sit up.

"Third brother, I heard that you have also improved the Qingmiao method, and now ...... Ahem~, how is the effect now? Zhao Ji took a few sips of the warm water handed over by Zhao Yan before he asked again.

"Big brother, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the court and politics, everything is handled by the courtiers, the most important thing for you now is to take care of your body!" Hearing this, Zhao Yan spoke again and persuaded that Zhao Ji's illness was getting worse and worse because of overthinking, so he didn't want Zhao Ji to bother anymore because of the government.

"It's okay, I'm really bored lying in bed every day, you just tell me about the court, just let me relieve my boredom!" Zhao Ji insisted with a pale and feeble smile at this time.

Seeing that Zhao Yan was so resolute, Zhao Yan didn't have any choice, so he had to sigh and say, "The Qingmiao Method has indeed made some improvements. In the past, when Wang Anshi was there, he only asked the bank to provide the money needed for the Qingmiao Law, and then handed it over to the local government to distribute it to the people in need, but this could easily cause the local government to take advantage of it, and even forced the people to borrow money for the sake of political performance, resulting in great public resentment. This time, I made some changes to the Seedlings Law, that is, the bank directly lends to the people, which is completely voluntary by the people in various places, and the interest rate is also very low, and I have achieved good results for a while, but because the reputation of the Seedlings Law has become stinky, I have called this method a loan to help the people......

In fact, Zhao Yan learned the loan from later generations, and when he saw the Qingmiao method that Wang Anshi was doing, he had already thought of the loan to help the people. It's a pity that Wang Anshi used the local government to implement this decree, which led to all kinds of drawbacks, and Zhao Yan didn't want to persuade Wang Anshi, but with Wang Anshi's stubbornness, even Sima Guang and other close friends, and even his younger brother Wang Anguo couldn't listen to the words, let alone himself, so in the end, Zhao Yan didn't pay attention to it. It is only now that there is finally an opportunity to set up the project of supporting the people.

After listening to Zhao Yan's detailed description of the loan to help the people, Zhao Yan couldn't help but nod and said, "The third brother is indeed thoughtful. Using banks instead of local governments to do this will have fewer problems in the middle, and it is completely voluntary for the people, and even if they lose money in the end, they will not complain to others. ”

"Yes, borrowing money is something you want to do. Even if it is a private usury, very few people dare to forcibly lend it to others, so our court naturally can't do this, which is also an important reason why the Qingmiao Law caused great public resentment before. Zhao Yan also said with some emotion at the moment, if Wang Anshi could listen to some other opinions when changing the law. The whole change will not be to the point where it is now, so in this failed change, Wang Anshi will bear at least half of the responsibility.

"Ahem, cough~" Zhao Yan coughed violently at this time, and then nodded in agreement, but he didn't say anything, at this time, Zhao Yan also saw that Zhao Yan was really not suitable to sit for a long time, so he stood up and said goodbye to him, and told Zhao Yan to rest in peace, Zhao Yan also knew that Zhao Yan was very busy after taking over him, so he didn't keep him.

After getting Zhao Ji's consent, Zhao Yan turned around and left the vertical arch hall, but when he walked out of the palace door, he looked back at the plaque of the vertical arch hall, thinking that when the ancestors of the Zhao family built this vertical arch hall, they wanted to achieve the realm of vertical arch rule, but unfortunately Zhao Ji took the power in his hands through changing the law, and as a result, not only did he exhaust his body, but now he also suffered from it, but Zhao Ji is now very sick, and Zhao Yan is not easy to change this centralized situation, so he can only hold on to it temporarily, I hope that Zhao Ji's health will improve in the future, and it will not be too late to suggest that he split power then.

It's just that Zhao Yan didn't know that when he turned around and left the Vertical Arch Palace, Zhao Yan looked at his back and was distracted, and his face also showed a complicated look, and only after a long time did he suddenly sigh faintly, and his eyes were also a little confused, and finally he suddenly whispered to himself: "Father, you really chose the wrong person!" ”

After Zhao Yan left the vertical arch hall, he went to the government hall to deal with a day's official business, lunch was also eaten in the government hall, speaking of which since he served as regent, he almost never had lunch at home, and breakfast was hurried to finish eating and leaving, sometimes the children in the family left without getting up, as for the evening, he was generally busy until late, so that the children in the family could not see him all day long, and as a result, a group of children were very complaining, Zhao Yan was also very guilty about this, but now is a special period, It is impossible for him to let go of the government for the sake of his children, so he can only keep this guilt in his heart, and plan to compensate these children in the future.

Today, Zhao Yan still left the political hall for two watches, and when he returned home by the carriage, it was almost the third watch. Because Zhao Yan came back too late every day, Cao Ying assigned herself and Xue Ning'er to them, and one person stayed to wait for Zhao Yan every day, serving him to eat and bathe, etc., otherwise, with Zhao Yan's sloppy energy, he would definitely fall asleep as soon as he came back, and he would be free of eating and bathing.

Today it was Cao Ying's turn to serve Zhao Yan, when Zhao Yan came to the inner house, Cao Ying had already asked the cook to cook a few dishes he loved to eat, although Zhao Yan was very sleepy, but he was also very hungry, plus Cao Ying was supervising on the side, so he could only wash his hands and take the dishes and chopsticks, and then gobbled them up.

Seeing Zhao Yan eating, Cao Ying was distressed and a little angry: "Husband, you are really, there are so many ministers in the court, what is there to tell those ministers to do, why do you have to take everything on yourself?" ”

Hearing Cao Ying's complaint, Zhao Yan chewed a few times and swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said helplessly: "You also know that the eldest brother has concentrated most of the power in the court into his own hands, and now he has handed over the power of the court to me, and I am not good at dividing these powers, so I can only temporarily hold on to it, plus I have to deal with some problems caused by the change during this time, so I will naturally be busy, and it will be easier after a while." ”

"Alas, I hope so, husband hurry up and eat, the hot water has been put away, and you can sleep more peacefully in a hot bath!" Cao Ying couldn't help but sigh at the moment and said, she was really afraid that Zhao Yan would also exhaust her body like Zhao Yan, but unfortunately she was a woman, and she really couldn't help Zhao Yan in court politics.

Zhao Yan ate a few bites of rice in the bowl at the moment, he was only half full, and he wanted to have another bowl, but unfortunately Cao Ying didn't let him eat it, because it was already the middle of the night, and he would have to take a bath in a while, so eating too much bubble would only be harmful to the body, and it would be okay to eat five points full, which made Zhao Yan only smile helplessly again, put down the dishes and chopsticks and followed Cao Ying to take a bath.

The weather in the south is hot, people will sweat at every turn, so southerners like to take a bath, Zhao Yan's family stayed in Guangzhou for a few years, so Zhao Yan built a bathhouse at home that is somewhat similar to later generations, and usually bathed with Cao Ying and other wives and concubines when he was fine, that is, fragrant and comfortable, after coming back this time, he also built a bathhouse in the courtyard, with a special hot water pipe, which can supply hot water for twelve hours.

Zhao Yan naturally doesn't need a big pool to take a bath by himself, Cao Ying has already filled a small pool with hot water, Zhao Yan took off his clothes and jumped in, feeling surrounded by hot water all over his body, which made him feel comfortable**, lying motionless in the pool with his eyes closed, thinking about nothing in his head, and the whole person was completely relaxed.

Seeing Zhao Yan's appearance, Cao Ying couldn't help but smile a little, sat behind Zhao Yan and pinched his shoulders for him, and after a while, he suddenly spoke again: "Husband, how is Your Majesty's condition, is there any sign of improvement?" ”

Hearing Cao Ying ask about Zhao Yan's condition, Zhao Yan also opened his eyes suddenly, and immediately sighed and said: "The eldest brother's illness is still like that, he coughs badly every day, and not only does it not get better in the slightest, but it is still slowly getting worse, I heard the waiter who took care of the eldest brother said that the eldest brother has coughed up blood several times, and if it goes on like this, I am really worried about ......."

Zhao Yan couldn't say it anymore in the end, he could only turn into a helpless sigh, and Zhao Yan in history seemed to be depressed because of the failure of the change, and as a result, his health became worse and worse, and he finally died of illness. Although Zhao Yan has changed a lot since he crossed over, he has not been able to change the result of the change, so Zhao Yan is really worried that Zhao Yan will die young like in the original history.

"Don't worry, husband, Your Majesty is in the prime of life, as long as you recuperate with peace of mind, you will definitely recover slowly in the future!" Cao Ying saw Zhao Yan's worried look, so she had to comfort her softly.

"I hope so!" Zhao Yan said in a deep voice, the worry on his face did not diminish slightly. Cao Ying next to her sighed in her heart, there were some things she couldn't tell Zhao Yan, otherwise it would only put him in a dilemma. (To be continued......)
