Ye Shuangchou came back again and brought first-hand news.

Qin Wei had already eaten lunch and was sitting on the threshold outside napping.

"Your Majesty...... Han Qi went to ask, but Ouyang Xiu replied to him, 'It is useless to suffer, and it is difficult to sleep and eat'. ”

"Is this to learn from those scholars and doctors to pretend to be high?"

Zhao Zhen subconsciously darkened his face.

He didn't have a good impression of these scholars and doctors in the Great Song Dynasty, and even several Song emperors had no good impression of the scholars and doctors of this dynasty.

Death by starvation is a small matter, but loss of discipline is a big matter.

These scholars have been reading a lot of magic, they have their own set of truths, regardless of right and wrong, good and evil, they just think that they are right and everyone else is wrong.

Even the emperor dared to pick on them.

Ay!

Unexpectedly, this Ouyang Xiu had already learned those people before he officially entered the ranks.

Ye Shuangchou felt a trace of bad breath, so he continued: "No, Ouyang Xiu said that he can only rely on his own labor to eat, so that he can feel at ease, otherwise he will always have kindness in his heart, and he will be hindered." ”

"It's that simple? Well...... This is not what Qin Wei said......"

"There is no such thing as a free lunch."

"Yes, how does he know what the people at the bottom think?"

Zhao Zhen asked himself, and then explained to himself: "Yes, he has also been poor, so he naturally understands the thoughts of these people, and this is what empathy means." ”

"Qin Wei understands people's hearts, so he can always get the essence right."

"Well, but this is a talent, and I can't even learn it......"

Later, Zhao Zhen called him in.

"You have to keep an eye on Ouyang Xiu's academic ......"

"Yes!"

"Also, how did you conclude that Ouyang Xiu's mother and son refused to agree?"

I still haven't let go of my suspicions......

Qin Wei had no choice but to explain seriously: "Your Majesty, Ouyang Xiu is also an official, and he has just passed the township test, it is said that such a person is half a nobleman, but he still doesn't care about his identity, and helps his widow share the pressure of labor, it can be seen that this person is real, and he has no vanity...... Naturally, I don't feel miserable. ”

There is too much suffering in the world, and everyone's suffering is different.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Ouyang's mother and son, who are living in poverty and have lost their identity, must have endured the hardships of life.

But I don't know that such a person no longer knows what suffering is......

In other words, they are used to bitterness, so they don't feel bitter, so that suddenly there is sweetness, but it makes them feel unsteady.

"It's that simple?"

Zhao Zhen was still suspicious.

"It's that simple!"

Qin Wei nodded earnestly, "Your Majesty, don't look down on those people in the market, although they seem to have no dignity and live in order to survive and do their best, but such people also have their own backbone, they would rather be mediocre or even suffer than lose their dignity." ”

Zhao Zhen fell silent.

Qin Wei's words seemed to open the door of a different world for him at a certain moment.

……

Zhao Yunrang doesn't know what human heart is, let alone what human nature is.

He pondered for two days but found nothing, and when he went back to ask the princess of Shangjun, he touched his nose.

The princess has a very thorough understanding of human nature, but this kind of thing can not be understood by teaching, everyone looks at human nature from a different perspective, which you have to understand yourself.

It's a pity that Zhao Yunrang can't realize anything now, so he said dejectedly that he would go to Qin Wei for advice.

He walked all the way, looking at the people around him from time to time to figure out their inner world.

"Huh! That...... That's Di Qing? ”

The guard also looked at it and said with a smile: "Yes, Xiao Langjun, Di Langjun seems to be shopping." ”

Around the corner of Sweetwater Alley, Di Qing was talking to a woman selling needlework in a basket.

A smile appeared on his face, and this smile was less cold than before, and it was a pure smile.

His eyes were bright, as if he had found some treasure.

The woman picked out a few needles and threads from the basket, but Di Qing still refused to leave when she got it.

But the woman obviously wanted to leave, she still had to walk the streets and alleys to sell goods, and she didn't have time to spend here.

Zhao Yunrang raised his head slightly, pondering the two of them.

He suddenly smiled and said, "Di Qing looks like it...... You have a crush on that woman, right? ”

The guard was puzzled: "That woman looks ordinary!" At best, she is pretty, and the villain looks at her...... I don't want to entangle with Di Lang Jun more! ”

Zhao Yunrang said proudly: "I think so." ”

But Di Qing seems to really like that woman, look at his eyes...... It's all shining! It's just that he hesitated a little and deliberately pretended not to care...... But when you look at his expression, it is clear that he is cautious, for fear that he will provoke the woman by saying the wrong thing. ”

Di Qing over there was grinding, but he said coolly: "That...... Gone ......"

The woman seemed to be a little relieved, and smiled: "Xiao Langjun walks slowly, the slave family sells goods on these streets, and what you want to buy in the future can be at the intersection and so on." ”

This is her mantra when she does business.

Not only to Di Qing, but also to every customer she met.

Not for the next encounter, just to sell more goods......

Di Qing didn't seem to understand the meaning of this, and nodded: "A certain brother is going to marry a wife recently, and there is always not enough needlework at home, I'll go back and ask, if you need me to come back to you in the afternoon......"

He quietly left.

The woman also left in the opposite direction, but after walking a dozen steps, she glanced back at his back and said with a smile: "Young people are fun." ”

He walked slowly with a needle and thread wrapped in broken steps, and his steps seemed a little heavy.

Suddenly, with a light in his hand, Di Qing subconsciously touched his waist, and suddenly remembered that he didn't have a sword in order to come here today.

Then he turned around and said angrily: "Who? ”

"What are you big men doing with these women's things?"

Zhao Yunrang played with the needle and thread in his hand, and as soon as he kneaded the needles in the rag, a few fell out.

The needles and threads that Di Qing bought were all treasured, but they were played with so uncherished by Zhao Yunrang, and his face had already turned from blue to black......

It's true?

He actually fell in love with that woman?

He knew Di Qing's skills, Zhao Yunrang suddenly felt a sigh in his heart, and then raised his hand to surrender: "Something is wrong, let people go to the woman and buy a copy as it is." ”

"Don't!"

Di Qing's feet sped up, and he disappeared in two clicks.

"He's really angry?"

Di Qing is known as the number one straight man in Bianliang, this is the title that Qin Wei gave him, saying that he has been insulated from women in his life.

But today's performance is staggering.

Zhao Yunrang looked at the needles and threads scattered all over the place, and said depressedly: "That woman is not young when she looks old, and she is a high bun, it is obvious that she has become a family, is he pumping?" ”

……

The hearts of the people are unpredictable, and the hearts of the country are even more unpredictable.

Zhao Zhen and several Zai Fu are discussing national policies.

Now is not the court meeting, and everyone has begun to speak freely without restraint.

When it comes to Guangnan West Road, Lü Yijian advocates that pacification should be the main thing, and it is easy not to move troops...... His reason is that there are mostly natives on the other side of Jiaozhi, and even if there is a war, it will cost the people and money, and there will be no oil and water.

Zhang Zhibai advocated sending troops to deter him, after all, the majesty of a great power brooks no violation.

"Although the Liao people have been arrogant in recent years, they have fierce domestic power confrontations, and they will not take the initiative to lead the war...... Xixia is also quite stable, but Guangnan West Road is not very peaceful......"

Zhang Zhibai said with disdain: "Do they dare to take the initiative to attack?" ”

Zhang Zhibai felt that he was too light on the enemy, so he said lightly: "Li Gongyun even dares to stand up for the country, do you say that Jiaozhi dares to attack the Great Song Dynasty?" The ambitions of the Jiaozhi people are so great that they cannot be willing to settle for a while. ”

Lu Yijian frowned and said, "But that will start a war between the two countries...... Does Jiaozhi have the strength to start a war with the Great Song Dynasty? If it is protracted, they may persevere? ”

Zhang Zhibai was a little confused, after all, he didn't know much about Jiaozhi.

Moreover, although there are frictions on the side of Guangnan West Road from time to time, Jiaozhi is still nominally an annex of the Great Song Dynasty.

To fight or not to fight, or how to fight, there must be a scale.

"What does Wang Qing think?"

Wang Zhen is a privy envoy, and every time there is a war strategy, he will inevitably be named, he went out of class and said: "Your Majesty, there are many miasma over there, if you want to use troops strongly, you need to carefully understand the local environment!" And also...... Jiaozhi is now still a subordinate of the Great Song Dynasty, and if you want to suppress the imperial court, you need a valid reason, otherwise it will make the local forces in the southeast, southwest and other coastal areas panic. ”

If the Celestial Empire wants to crusade against the unsubordinate, the first point is to be famous.

You can't say, I don't like you so I will beat you, that's not good, it's too shameless.

The Great Song Dynasty is not the former Tang Dynasty, and I am afraid that it does not have the courage.

Wang Zhen looked a lot older, but his spirit was quite sufficient.

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, at this time when there is chaos, the Privy Council is the top priority and cannot be ignored.

And if you want important ministers to go out on the expedition, it is more convenient for the privy envoy.

Wang Zhen's performance made him very satisfied, but ...... He's old after all!

Wang Zhen is sixty-one years old this year, and in this kind of era when the average age is only forty, sixty years old has already reached the age of returning to the destiny of heaven.

If Wang Zhen is forcibly put in charge, it will be a little unkind.

He glanced at the Zaifu, it was impossible for Zhang Zhibai to go on the expedition, he was about the same age as Wang Zhen, it was okay to discuss government affairs, and he went on the expedition...... That's wanting them to die.

What about Lu Yijian?

That's it, as soon as he leaves, the party in the court will be inclined to the empress dowager again, and he still needs Lu Yijian to suppress the imperial court......

"What do you think of Pang's origin?"

Zhao Zhen asked thoughtlessly.

But the Zaifu are all human spirits, how can they not move the meaning of these words.

Wang Zhen came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, Pang is well versed in military affairs, and has repeatedly studied the military deployment of the Great Song Dynasty over the years, and has also been involved in foreign wars. ”

This is also said by Wang Zhen to be the most appropriate.

His Majesty intended for Wang Zhen to enter the political hall, and the vacancy of the original privy envoy had to be filled by someone.

At this time, everyone was staring at this piece of fat, but there were only a few people who were qualified to serve it.

Zhang Zhibai can't speak, otherwise he will be said to be the emperor and queen seizing power.

Lu Yijian is already Zaifu, and his subordinates are not weak, if he recommends the privy envoy again, Zhao Zhen can hardly guarantee that he will not be suspicious.
