Zhao Huan thought of this, and he felt unprovoked worries in his heart. State affairs are troubles, family affairs are also world affairs, and life is so complicated that it is much more laborious than back then.

Fei Lunshi saw that Zhao Huan's face was still full of spring breeze, and when he arrived beside him, his face was already in the water, and he couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart, not knowing if he had something to anger the emperor.

At the moment, he accompanied him carefully, saluted Zhao Huan, and then bowed and stood and waited for the emperor to speak.

"Feron has worked hard."

Zhao Huan praised him casually, a cold wind blew, and the snowflakes on a few plum trees fluttered and flew up, falling on his hot face, arousing a burst of coldness.

A few small chamberlains hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhao Huan brush away the residual snow, and then presented a stove to Zhao Huan to keep warm.

"Go down."

Zhao Huan waved his hand and repelled the attendants. When he looked around, he saw that Fei Lun was wearing iron armor, the cloth robe on his body was already shabby, and his hands on the waist knife were frozen white, and his muscles were bursting up.

His heart moved, and he actually took off the snow fox fur coat he was wearing, and put it on for Faren with his own hands.

"Don't move." Zhao Huan stopped Fei Lun's excuse, tied the neckline of the leather robe again, and then took a step back and said with a smile: "Extremely black man, Xue Qiang is too short, only you have a well-rounded figure, and you are dressed with a heroic spirit, and you are more elegant." ”

Fei Lun's heart was moved, but he was introverted by nature, so he just bowed down again to thank the emperor for his great kindness.

The two of them went up to the verandah in a few steps, looked at the snow scene all the way from the corridor, and returned all the way back to the Clear Leak Pavilion.

When he sat down in the pavilion, Zhao Huan ordered someone to send hot soup to Fei Lun to relieve the cold, and when the blue and white color on Fei Lun's face gradually turned ruddy, he smiled at him and asked: "How hard it has been this journey, what you have seen along the way, how are the magistrates governing, and what are the things in military affairs?" ”

Fei Lun always expected that Zhao Huan would ask him about the family first, but he didn't want to ask about what he saw along the way, so he thought about it in his mind first. Then he replied solemnly: "Your Majesty passed the law, the local officials did not dare to delay the government affairs, the ministers saw all the way, the snow did not stop, the local officials cleared the roads, supervised the water conservancy projects, rescued the stocks, and repaired the dilapidated houses. Relief to the people, do not dare to slack off. As for military affairs, it is all the more important to note that the Xiang soldiers in the prefectures along the route have long been mobilized, and the total number of Xiang troops and township soldiers mobilized in Yan'an and Hezhong Prefectures is about 200,000, day and night, transporting ordnance, grain and grass in the direction of Tongguan and Taiyuan, and local officials also need to cooperate with the Xiang army. Where there is snow on the road, it is difficult to walk. It is necessary to use civilian resources to renovate, and do not dare to delay for a moment. After receiving news from the direction of Taiyuan, our Wang Shi has dug a long base under the city. Drain the water around the city. Although it is also snowing in Taiyuan, there is no shortage of military resources, and the soldiers in front will not suffer from freezing and starvation, please rest assured. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Huan listened quietly, but pointed to Fei Lun and said: "What is your identity, you will inevitably suffer from cold and cold, not to mention ordinary soldiers." ”

"The minister is in vain."

Faerun's face flushed when he said it, and he quickly admitted his mistake.

Zhao Huan smiled: "It's not a court meeting, what are you doing so seriously." Tianwei is so unpredictable, but the manpower is to minimize the loss. I didn't mean you were talking nonsense. It's just a feeling. ”

He actually lacks historical knowledge, in fact, this year there was a big drought in Guanshan, and then a heavy snowfall, and there are records in the history books, but Zhao Huan didn't know it.

"Yes."

Fei Lun hurriedly said yes, and explained: "The minister is afraid of delaying his official business, and because the road is muddy and difficult to walk, he has to get up early every day and be greedy for darkness, and last night was a night. That's not good-looking. ”

Zhao Huan has nothing to do, he also trusts this young man in his heart, but he is just trying to prevent the other party's rights and responsibilities from being too heavy and perfunctory, so he occasionally knocks on it.

Because he missed the conversation, he asked Fei Lun, "Are all the old and young of the Zhe family here?" What can I say on the way to Zhe Keqiu, what is the situation of the Zhi family staying behind, I asked Zhi Yanshi to hand over the people in his hands to you, and the situation of the Zhi family in the future needs to be controlled by you, Sanzhou has just returned anyway, so you need to be more careful. ”

This is the highlight of Fei Lun's visit to the palace to see him today, and when he heard Zhao Huan ask like a cannon, Fei Lun was not flustered at all, and replied calmly at the moment: "You can ask for a family, all the sons are Zhen Yanwen, Zhen Yanyan, Zhen Yanshi, and Zhen Yanye, all of them came to Chang'an." The head of the family is handled by his younger brother Zhi Ketong, Zhi Kezhi, and Zhi Kejiu, and the minister asked Zhe Xiaozhong... Oh, Zhe Yanshi, after the fold can be sought, who can use these three people, Zhi Yanshi just shook his head, saying that these three people are mediocre, after the fold can be begged, if the three of them praise the overall situation, it will be okay, if there is a dispute between themselves, only if the outsiders are cheaper, the defense of the three states will definitely collapse. After the minister found out, he became more and more cautious, established a branch in the three states, and sent more people, in case something was wrong, the court could also start to arrange it earlier. ”

"Good, well done." Zhao Huan finally eased his expression and praised loudly.

"The minister has never understood, this can be a shameless man, His Majesty forgave him for his sin is to cheapen him, but also to be lenient, his concern for him is much stronger than ordinary generals, Linfu Feng Sanzhou is important, but it does not have to be so, after the battle of Tongguan, Wang Shi 100,000 soldiers came to the city, and the family had to surrender."

Zhao Huan shook his head again and again, and said with a smile: "The soldier who surrenders without a fight is the best art of war, it is not that there will be losses after fighting, but after not fighting, the gains will be greater." The Zhi family has been loyal to the Great Song Dynasty for generations, and the reputation is too ugly after the fall, looking at the overall situation, the Zhi family is now resolute anyway, and the role it plays is much better than letting him surrender with a coffin in filial piety clothes on the battlefield. Among them, the joints are important, and you have to think about it yourself. ”

Seeing that Fei Lun was thoughtful, Zhao Huan glanced at him with appreciation, got up with a smile, and instructed him: "Go, take me to see it." ”

Fei Lun was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty wants to see him, and an edict announcing that he is coming, why bother to go by yourself, such a favor, the prime minister is nothing more than this, and the minister still thinks it is not worth it." ”

"I bring some direct guards, you bring your people to escort, and I'm afraid that something will happen in this Chang'an City. It has been snowing heavily for days, and I am holding my breath in the palace, just to see how the people of Chang'an are doing. ”

In fact, Zhao Huan has always paid attention to trusting ministers, employing people without suspicion, and rarely interfering in government affairs, so although Emperor Song often made private visits to Weifu, he only went out of the palace to relieve boredom.

Fei Lun couldn't resist him, and he also knew that the emperor often went out of the palace, so he had to agree immediately.

Zhao Huan gave an order, more than ten Banzhi guards who often accompanied him out of the palace immediately arrived, and when he heard that the emperor was going to leave the palace, he didn't care about Fei Lun's expression, he changed his clothes, and when Zhao Huan also changed his clothes, more than ten people surrounded him and went to the outside of the palace.

Fei Lun only felt depressed, although hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the forbidden army were not afraid of him, the guards around the emperor did not take him as a pedestrian general in their eyes.

Zhao Huan's expression was leisurely, the palace room had been expanded several times, and the regulations were still very small, and he had traveled from the deep palace where he lived, but in a moment's effort, he had already passed through several Zhu Gates, and he saw that he had arrived at the main gate of the court of the outer court.

He suddenly remembered something, and asked a smart-looking guard beside him: "Who is the Lang official on duty at the east palace gate today, if it is Fu Su, you can take a detour." ”

Fei Lun only wanted to laugh when he heard it, but he just held back his stomach, not daring to show half a point.

The rest of the guards were not as careful as him, and they squeezed their eyebrows one by one, taking pleasure in the emperor's deflatedness.

The guard who was asked held back a smile and replied to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, Fu Su is not on duty today, so there is no need to take a detour." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Huan squinted at them and said with a smile: "Fu Su is too old-fashioned, and I am deeply afraid of it. Grow up, and when I am afraid of you in the future, it will be the time when things will be successful. ”

While reprimanding, he said to himself: "Fu Su made great contributions when defending the city, but I don't know when the cardinal government called the promotion order, but he wanted to urge Zhang Juncai." ”

Everyone held back their laughter, and in the end they guarded him out of the palace gate, not far from the palace gate is the downtown area, Fei Lun called a few agile henchmen, spread their guard far away, escorted Zhao Huan and his party, quickly entered the downtown area, and disappeared into the bustling crowd.

Although the heavy snow does not stop, everyone can not walk a few steps and has to be white, but the downtown is still very lively, manpower, female plays, all kinds of department stores, the sound of selling is endless, crowded very much.

Even though the weather is cold, Fei Lun and the others are still sweating nervously, Zhao Huan himself doesn't care, because he subconsciously, he is eager to live a civilian life and regain the true interest of life, the emperor of the Song Dynasty has this habit, Zhao Huan's father Zhao Ji even served prostitutes, everyone in Tokyo knows it, it is because of the rise of citizen consciousness, the emperor does not like to be too high, not to mention that Zhao Huan's heart is just a commoner.

Walking all the way from the narrow streets, I saw that the market was still there, and it was no longer obvious that a month ago, this ancient city was still facing extinction.

Thousands of dead and wounded forbidden soldiers and people in the city, it took half a month to mourn, Zhao Huan was slightly subdued several times, and was forced back by the mournful crying and mourning, and today, he can finally look happy and leisurely walk in the market, and all the sorrow and sorrow seem to be covered by this heavy snow.

The guild hall where Zhe Keqiu lived was actually a memory of Zhao Huan for later generations, knowing that he needed to have a place for officials to live temporarily in the capital, so as to save them from having a fellow townsman association, and even setting up a branch office in Beijing, wasting state funds. And by the imperial court, all officials can live together on official business, which can save a lot. Because of this name, the imperial court did not save money, this hall covers a huge area, the eaves arch green bricks and blue tiles, extremely majestic and spacious.

And the identity of Zhe Keqiu is embarrassing, when Fei Lun is there, the officials of the same hall are extremely enthusiastic, and they don't know where Zhe Keqiu is sacred, and as soon as Fei Lun goes, the officials who entertain him immediately turned cold.

"Father, let's go into the room and rest first, and let my son take care of the rest."

If it weren't for his father's wrong step, he would have been able to inherit the position of the head of the family and revive the family's reputation, but at this time, seeing his father embarrassed by the officials, he had no resentment in his heart, and he only felt disheartened.

At the moment, he persuaded him to leave, and asked a few brothers to protect his sisters into the room, and he looked for the little officials in the hall, although he felt embarrassed, he had to accompany the smiling face to beg for help.
