For a long time, Zhao Zhen's image to his courtiers and others is that he is weak in body and weak in character, and the government and the opposition are naturally the Empress Dowager Liu E's response, and the decision made by the Empress Dowager Liu, the official Zhao Zhen will never object.

This time Ye Pei entered the palace, he became a gentleman's son, playing with Ye Pei every day, fishing and enjoying the scenery, singing and dancing for fun, and even his original studies were abandoned.

On this day, it was a break in the middle of the day, and the officials Zhao Zhen and Ye Pei went to Yanfu Palace to fish.

This Yanfu Palace is a relatively independent palace area, close to the west palace wall of the inner courtyard of the palace, with pavilions and pavilions, rockery ponds and marshes, beautiful scenery, is an imperial garden of the inner palace game.

Zhao Zhen taught Ye Pei to fish with his own hands, but unfortunately Ye Pei is not a good apprentice, picking flowers for a while, catching birds for a while, and he is a lively person who can't settle down.

It was almost noon, Lin Bihan and Xia Qinyuan came over with a plate of pastries and two cups of hot tea.

Ye Pei threw the fishing rod and said discouragedly: "Forget it, forget it, I haven't seen a single fish hooked after fishing for so many years, so I won't catch it!" Let's take a break with a cup of tea! ”

The official Zhao Zhen said angrily: "That's not all your fault, picking flowers for a while, catching birds for a while, I didn't catch it myself, and even my fish was scared away by you." ”

Ye Pei cleaned his hands and said, "Why blame me, maybe there are no fish in this pool!" ”

"Nonsense, I can always catch it before!"

The two quarreled for a long time. A man in the distance looked at this side with a smile.

Zhao Zhen suddenly discovered the person who came, and immediately asked Lin Bihan, "When did Ding Xiang arrive?" Why don't you report it? ”

Lin Bihan said: "There has been some time in Ding's capital, and he saw that the official family was fishing, and his swimming nature was strong, so he didn't let the slaves and maids disturb him." ”

When Ye Pei heard this, he immediately stopped talking, and when he looked back, there was indeed a person standing in the distance.

I saw that the man was standing far away, dressed in a purple official uniform, very respectful, but unfortunately his appearance was very ugly, his face was black and yellow, and his eyes were slanted and not smiling, like a monkey.

Zhao Zhen hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and walked over here. This person is the prime minister of the dynasty.

Seeing the official family walking towards him, Ding Wei hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said respectfully: "The minister Ding Wei sees the official family." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Ding Xiang, please get up quickly, let's sit and talk in the pavilion here." With that, Zhao Zhen led Ding Wei to sit down at the Chenhui Pavilion not far away.

Ye Pei remained in place, waiting for Zhao Zhen while fishing.

Zhao Zhen said: "Since Ding Xianggong has arrived, why don't you order the minions to call me?" ”

Ding Wei said with a smile: "I saw that the official family was fishing, so I didn't dare to disturb." ”

Zhao Zhen pouted and said, "I didn't catch it anyway." ”

Ding Wei smiled, "That's a fish afraid dragon face." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled when he heard this: "What? ”

Ding Wei repeated again: "The warbler is frightened and the phoenix wears the flowers, and the fish is afraid of the dragon's face and is late to fish." ”

He compared Ye Pei to a phoenix and Zhao Zhen to a dragon, so that the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, the dragon plays the phoenix, and the sycophants are in Zhao Zhen's arms.

Zhao Zhen said very happily: "Ding Xianggong is really talented and quick-witted, and he deserves to be the good face of our Great Song Dynasty." ”

Ding Wei said: "The official praises, but the ministers dare not be ashamed!" ”

"Why did Ding Xianggong find my Yanfu Palace?" Zhao Zhen asked.

Ding Wei said: "A few days ago, the students of the minister found a picture of Li Sixun's "Gyeonggi Ruixue Map" in the Tang Dynasty, which is very rare. ”

As he spoke, he took out a delicate scroll from his sleeve.

Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded, "Ding Xianggong has a heart!" ”

Chen Zhongyi took the scroll and slowly unfolded it for the officials to enjoy. This is a fan, which has been carefully mounted on a silk canvas scroll, so the painting is not large.

Zhao Zhen looked at it seriously, nodded and said: "I heard that Li Sixun's painting style is clumsy and delicate, and when I see it today, it really has the characteristics of golden landscapes." This "Gyeonggi Seoyuk Map" is even better than the existing "Palace Garden" in Zhibobunkak! ”

Ding Wei continued: "The official family has profound artistic attainments, and the ministers have a sense of openness when they hear it. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled proudly and looked at the picture carefully. Ding Wei groaned and stood aside, not ready to leave.

Zhao Zhen asked: "What else is going on with Ding Xianggong?" ”

"Regarding the "Heavenly Sacred Decree", the ministers must also consult the official family, and the ministers have been drafting this law for two years, and yesterday Li Shilang of the Ministry of Men said that if a woman has the right to inherit, her dowry belongs to her, and if her parents have nothing else to do, and her daughter is married, can she still dispose of her parents' property in full? The minister did not dare to be specialized, so he came to ask the official. ”

Zhao Zhen's eyes did not leave the scroll, and said slowly: "Women have always had a low status, they follow their fathers at home, their husbands when they marry, and their husbands die from their sons. This is a great thing to improve the status of women, what does the Queen Mother mean? ”

"The Queen Mother also believes that this is a great thing to improve the status of women, and the convention should be broken." Ding Wei said respectfully.

"Then do it according to the Queen Mother's wishes!"

"There is another thing, since the deputy envoy of the third division, Lin Te, has been reforming the tea method for a year, it has been quite effective, and the position of the three envoys has been vacant, so it is better to promote this person......"

Ding Wei said very cautiously, squinting at Zhao Zhen as he spoke.

Lin Te is Lin Zhu's father, who has been promoted to the deputy envoy of the Third Division at this time, and he has always been Ding Wei's best friend, and he was promoted quite quickly.

Zhao Zhen said disapprerovingly: "I know, the capitals can discuss and formulate." ”

Ding Wei saluted and said: "The minister Lin has thanked the official family for their grace!" ”

Zhao Zhen raised his eyes to look at Ding Wei and asked, "Ding Xianggong, wouldn't it be for these things to come to the palace on today's day off?" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Ding Wei is another one.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, Chen Zhongyi put away the painting shaft and said, "Official, the villain will receive this painting to Baowen Pavilion first." ”

Ding Wei saw that Chen Zhongyi had gone away, and there was no one else left and right, so he said: "Official, yesterday the Ministry of Rites issued an order that the Queen Mother should overhaul the Jin King Temple in Jinyang. I wonder if the officials have noticed its regulation? ”

When Zhao Zhen heard him say this, he knew even more that Ding Wei couldn't say it in front of hundreds of officials, and the point that he didn't dare to say it finally came.

Because Liu E was an orphan of Sichuan and Shu, when she entered the palace, she pretended to be the daughter of Liu Tong, the general of the Right Xiaowei, and became a native of Jinyang.

A few years ago, Qian Weiyin, the deputy privy envoy, suggested that the Empress Dowager Liu E overhaul the Jin Wang Temple, and the Empress Dowager had already approved it.

This Jin King Ancestral Hall is the family ancestral hall of Tang Shuyu in the Western Zhou Dynasty, because he was named the King of Jin, this ancestral hall is called Jin King Temple or Jin Ancestral Hall.

The Queen Mother built a large number of buildings this time, and repaired a temple of Our Lady in the Jin Temple to commemorate Tang Shuyu's mother Yi Jiang, which cost 10,000 taels of silver.

If it is completed, the largest building in the Jin Temple will become the Temple of the Virgin, and Tang Shuyu's sacrificial hall will become an annex.

What kind of associations will this strong mother and weak Jin Ancestral Hall make the world?

At this time, Ding Wei deliberately mentioned the use of royal ancestral hall regulations such as Yunuma Flying Beam and Panlong Pillar in the ancestral hall, which revealed the intention of the Empress Dowager Liu E to "be known to passers-by".

In fact, Zhao Zhen has already understood the meaning of the Queen Mother, the legislative code "Heavenly Holy Order", the overhaul of the Temple of Our Lady of the Jin Dynasty, and the sacrifice of the Liu ancestral temple according to the royal regulations, which is not a right that the emperor can exercise?

Zhao Zhen can endure it until now, he has great ambitions in his chest, and he can only endure many things.

Today, Ding Wei deliberately said these items, didn't he know that Zhao Zhen knew it in his heart, Ding Wei has always been the head of the Empress Dowager Liu, and now his posture, does it mean that he has the intention to lean towards the side of the official Zhao Zhen?

Zhao Zhen thought in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said lightly: "The Queen Mother has discussed this matter with me, and the Queen Mother has worked hard for the country for half her life, and now even if there are one or two trespasses, it is not too much." ”

Ding Wei saw that Zhao Zhen was indifferent on the surface, and he did not show his dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother after several attempts, so he had to find another opportunity, so he said: "Your Majesty Shengming, the minister will retire first." ”

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, and Ding Wei respectfully withdrew from the Chenhui Pavilion.

Zhao Zhen squinted his eyes and looked at Ding Wei's back as he walked away, and said in his heart: Sure enough, he is an old treacherous and cunning, provoking the relationship between me and the Queen Mother, of course, the beneficiary is still Ding Xiang, I am really full of tigers and wolves, it seems that many things cannot be rushed, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it.

Waiting for Ding Wei to go away, Zhao Zhen secretly came behind Ye Pei, she was martial arts, so she naturally heard Zhao Zhen's footsteps a long time ago, but she deliberately didn't look back, pretending not to know.

Zhao Zhen thought that Ye Pei really didn't know, so he hugged her from behind, deliberately startling her.

Ye Pei turned around and smiled, and saw Zhao Zhen smiling even brighter.

Zhao Zhen whispered in Ye Pei's ear: "Guess what Ding Xiang said just now?" ”

"Say what?"

"He made a poem: The warbler is frightened and the phoenix wears the flowers, and the fish is afraid of the dragon's face and is late to fish." Zhao Zhen said with a smug smile.

Zhao Zhen thought that Ye Pei must be happy when he heard this, but as soon as Ye Pei heard this, he immediately got rid of Zhao Zhen's embrace, took a step back, bowed down and said:

"Official, such a sloppy minister can't help it! At the time, he sounded happy, but in the long run, wouldn't he have blinded the public and made the official family a stupid person? ”

Zhao Zhen saw Ye Pei's serious expression, straightened up, and said, "Why is Pei'er so serious, it's just that it sounds happy, who really takes it seriously?" ”

Ye Pei still said seriously: "If you hear too many lies, you will believe it yourself, and you won't be able to listen to your loyal words." ”

Zhao Zhen said with a straight face: "Pei'er is really like the eldest grandson queen of Tang Taizong." ”

Ye Pei was slightly blessed and said, "Pei'er doesn't dare!" I only hope that the official family will be as wise and martial as Tang Taizong. ”

Zhao Zhen also laughed, "I want to be a wise and martial king like Tang Taizong, and I will definitely need a good queen like Pei'er to assist me at that time." ”

Zhao Zhen thought of something, and said: "Pei'er, when you talk about slipping whiskers, I think that Ding Wei is indeed a master of whiskers. ”

He pulled Ye Pei to sit next to a row of bamboo forests and chatted,

"In the early years, he was in the same dynasty as Kolai Gong, and the relationship was very good, and at a banquet, Kou Zhun drank soup and got his beard, and Ding Wei, who was sitting next to him, saw it and immediately wiped it for him with his sleeve.

It's a pity that Kou Zhun's stubborn old man didn't admit his feelings, but said with a cold face, how can you, a deputy prime minister, give your boss a beard? made Ding Wei embarrassed in the local area, and he couldn't get off the stage. ”

Ye Pei smiled: "Wipe your beard for Kolai Gong? This is really a whisker, haha, he's a whisker master who also hits a wall sometimes! ”

Zhao Zhen said again: "But do you know, Ding Weizhicai is not just flattering, he can serve two dynasties, so he naturally has his ability."

During the Chunhua period, the ethnic minorities in the southwest often harassed our border with the Great Song Dynasty, and many local officials were replaced, but it was not completely resolved.

As soon as he took office, he single-handedly met with the leaders of the ethnic minorities and promised that as long as he stopped harassing the people, he would be pardoned for all his previous crimes.

Later, the local people were appeased by exchanging local horses for salt and grain, stabilizing the situation, enabling the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and promoting production and unity. ”

Ye Pei sighed: "I didn't expect Ding to be bold. ”
