He is also helpless, what Zhang Jian is worried about is that he will go and tell Su Shi by himself, and people may not believe it. Then it must be accompanied by the important ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, which can increase the credibility.

Zhao Zhen also had a headache for this candidate.

To say, Da Song is not a person who does not have Su Shi's trust.

For example, his son Zhao Xi.

But Zhao Xi is now less than nine years old, how could he let him take an adventure?

For example, Li Di.

The problem is that Li Di is old, and his body is getting worse day by day these days, and no one dares to guarantee whether he will die on the way to Liao.

There is also Bao Zheng.

But Bao Heizi sat in Xincheng and absolutely couldn't move. If he moves, something may happen to the west of the north at any time.

After thinking about it, there was no suitable candidate. And just when Zhao Zhen had a headache, Li Di suddenly came to Zichen Hall to ask for a meeting.

For Li Di, Zhao Zhen still attaches great importance to him, otherwise he would not have handed over his only son to him.

Knowing that Li Di was coming, Zhao Zhen hurriedly put down the book in his hand and asked Chen Mao to personally help him in.

Li Di's physical condition is getting worse and worse, but it is not bad enough to stand, he knows that this is Zhao Zhen to show respect for himself, so he did not refuse to help, but after entering the hall, he did not perform the courtier salute and hugged his fists to express his gratitude to Zhao Zhen.

"Come, give a seat."

Zhao Zhen smiled and asked Li Di to sit down.

Li Di is not welcome, he has such qualifications. When he sat down, he said what had happened. "Your Majesty is worried about who to send to Liao."

In front of Li Di, Zhao Zhen didn't put on any shows, nodded and admitted.

I want to be young at the beginning

At that time, Liu Mo controlled the government, and it was an old minister like Li Di who stood up and persuaded him to let himself master the government and have power.

From the bottom of my heart, Zhao Zhen is grateful to Li Di.

"What Li Qing said is exact, this is exactly what gives me a headache. Su Tianyou is young and has a straightforward personality, if he is not human, he is afraid that he will not know what will happen. ”

"Li Qing should also know that although my Great Song Dynasty is strong now, it is not in the military, but in the economy. We should develop for a few more years, and perhaps we will have the capital to compete with other races. ”

Just two sentences show Zhao Zhen's thoughts, that is, he doesn't want to fight with anyone now.

I don't think I'll be able to beat anyone.

Heavy literature and suppression of martial arts, this is the rule set by Taizu, even if he wants to change it, it can't be done overnight.

It's a good thing that Su Shi can fight, but it's not all good.

When a country is not strong enough, it is not a good thing for an individual to be too strong.

Then again, even if Su Shi is powerful, can he still beat the world alone?

Of course, if he can really conquer the world, then is he still willing to be subordinate to others and become a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty?

Just like this time, Su Shi entered Liaodi, as if he was in a no-man's land, which showed his strong ability in military command, such a person did such a thing, which has made Zhao Zhen feel the threat.

And one day, once everyone feels that he is a threat, at that time, I am afraid that Su Shi's safety will be worried.

So what we have to do now is how to take Su Shi down before he is fully powerful, and completely cut off his path to strength

, this is also for the stability of the imperial power of the Zhao family.

In his heart, Zhao Zhen still likes Su Shi very much.

This person has the ability, and most importantly, he can make money, which can make the economy of the Great Song Dynasty stronger, and by virtue of this, it is not what others have.

There is also the fact that Su Shi has a life-saving grace for Zhao Xi.

Although Zhao Zhen has never talked about this matter to the outside world, he remembers it very clearly in his heart.

This is also why, when Su Shi does things out of line, Zhao Zhen always treats them with the greatest tolerance.

What's more, although Su Shi is also a member of the Zhao family, he has no deep ties with anyone in the Zhao family, that is, even the two uncles in Bianliang City have few contacts.

At this point, Zhao Zhen believes that this is Su Shi's sensibility.

Also, although Su Shi also promoted some officials, he turned these people around and recommended his son Jingwang Zhao Xi, which made Su Shi a lonely minister.

In the feudal dynasty, the lonely minister is not easy to do, but the lonely minister is the emperor's favorite group of people.

The lonely minister can only rely on the emperor, otherwise, he will be killed by other courtiers for various reasons.

In fact, many times, courtiers and emperors were on opposite sides, and they both wanted to gain more power so that their ideas could be orthodox.

This forced the courtiers to unite as well, at least in the face of imperial power.

The existence of Su Shi is an alternative, of course Zhao Zhen, such a lonely minister, likes it, but Su Shi is too good.

can make money and fight, and now the Liao State is very jealous, which will inevitably make Zhao Zhen have a different mind.

Don't give Su Shi more rights

force, just raise him, so that when you really need to use people, you will use him. In this way, there is no need to worry that he will become bigger, and there is no need to worry that he will threaten the imperial power, which is the best result.

What Zhao Zhen was thinking, Li Di had already guessed that eight or nine would not be far from ten.

After listening to Zhao Zhen say this, he was even more sure of what he thought in his heart, and he smiled at the moment, "Your Majesty, with the credit of Su Shaofu this time, after he comes back this time, I am afraid that he will inevitably be promoted to an official position." ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Zhen nodded and acquiesced.

Even if he wanted to suppress Su Shi and prevent him from being promoted. But this time in the danger of the north, Su Shi played a great role in it, and anyone who understands it must be able to see it.

When the war subsides, and when the meritorious deeds are rewarded afterwards, if you reward others and Dula Sushi alone, then the pertinence will be too obvious, and at that time, there must be many people who are not convinced.

In the future, if there is a war, can you still point others to the battlefield and fight hard?

Therefore, Su Shi must be rewarded, but how to reward and convince the public, and within the scope of Zhao Zhen's own acceptance, has become a problem that he, the emperor, needs to think about.

Again, Su Shi is too young.

Only eighteen years old.

Oh, it's going to be the New Year, and I'm going to be nineteen years old.

At such a young age, with so much credit, will there be no reward one day?

When that day really comes, how will Su Shi arrange?

Also, if you are alive, you can still suppress Su Shi, the day you leave, can your son Zhao Xi still suppress Su Shi?

These things all need to be considered by Zhao Zhen. And not the head

As soon as it was hot, he patted his head and directly gave a reward, which was happy, but it also laid the foundation for the future.

These are all headaches for Zhao Zhen, and Li Di is here to solve these things.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a suggestion."

"Please." Zhao Zhen respected Li Di very much, and also wanted to see what this old minister of the Three Dynasties thought, that is, he even used the word invitation.

"Your Majesty, Su Shaofu has to be rewarded, but the official rank cannot be promoted, otherwise, one day there will be no reward to give. It is better to directly crown him as a marquis, in this way, he is the noble of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has dignity, plus he was originally a descendant of the Zhao family, such a reward is not exceeded, and he can be an idle minister in the future, enjoying the glory and wealth is enough. ”

Li Di opened his mouth with a smile and proposed to give Su Shi the title of marquis.

The Great Song Dynasty is not like the Ming Dynasty, and there is something that cannot be knighted without military exploits.

Even if there is such a statement, Su Shi himself is also a person with military merits, and it can be said.

And once Su Shi is sealed, he is destined to be unable to become an actual force that can really influence the court. Titles, in many cases, are just good-sounding, and generally have no real power. This can also prevent Su Shi from holding any power in the future, thus threatening the stability of the Great Song Dynasty.

With so many benefits here, it is impossible to say that Zhao Zhen has not thought about it before.

But he was worried that Su Shi would not accept it.

After all, after really becoming a marquis, it is equivalent to cutting off the road to promotion in the future, and it has become a luxury to have the right to speak in the court.

If Su Shi has no ambitions, or

Xu Hui smiled and accepted.

But if Su Shi is a person with ideas, he may not agree.

Also, Su Shi is not alone, he still has some good allies behind him, for example, Li Di is one of them, and he is still a very important person.

If Li Di and the others don't agree, this reward will also not be implemented, and if it is not good, Zhao Zhen will be forced to take back his life, which will not be beautiful.

But what Zhao Zhenwan didn't expect was that this matter was brought up by Li Di himself.

Su Shi and Li Di are allies, so why did he cut off Su Shi's future?

Could it be that the two have a gap between their hearts?

No!

The two of them are Zhao Xi's left and right arms, in order for Zhao Xi to be on the throne in the future, they will not choose to fight infighting at this time.

It's not for this reason, Li Di still made such a suggestion, which is somewhat interesting. Does this mean that Li Di is also guarding against Su Shi?

It must be so.

Zhao Zhen could see that Su Shi had great potential, why couldn't Li Di see it.

Li Di is old, and his body may have problems at any time, and once something happens to him, Zhao Xi trusts him the most, except for his father, I am afraid that it will be Su Shi.

Li Di saw this and was worried about it.

He was worried that Zhao Xi in the future would not be able to suppress Su Shi after they were away. simply put the shackles of Xun Gui on Su Shi in advance. In this way, Su Shi's threat to Zhao Xi will become very small, and Li Di can rest assured that he will be behind a hundred years later.

After a moment of effort, thinking of these things, Zhao Zhen finally understood what Li Di meant, and also understood the good intentions of this old minister, and his face was good

Seen a lot.

At least, Zhao Zhen knew that in the matter of Su Shi, he and Li Di had the same language and goals.
