Wang Qinruo, for this legendary character, Li Zhang thought that his fate with the other party was at most the mansion under his feet, but what he never expected was that Wang Qinruo actually gave him a gift at this critical moment.

"How did your master know me?" Li Zhang came to the front hall and saw the manager who came to give gifts, and he couldn't help asking curiously. Wang Qinruo was demoted to Hangzhou as an official, so of course it was impossible for him to come back now. In fact, as Li Zhang's identity, Wang Qinruo could not come to the door to give gifts in person. He had already taken great attention to being able to send a manager.

"My master has long heard of the reunion of the Queen and Li Bandu's relatives, but he has never had the opportunity to visit him. This time he took advantage of the New Year to give Li Bandu some festive gifts!" The manager replied to Li Zhang very politely.

"The New Year is approaching?" Li Zhang almost laughed out loud when he heard this. It was almost two months away from the New Year. It was too early to give gifts for the New Year, not to mention that he had read the gift list just now. This New Year gift is very generous!

"So that's it, the prince is really meant!" Li Zhang immediately thanked the other party. After all, this manager was just here to give gifts, and Wang Qinruo did not give him any other instructions, so after someone brought the gift in, he immediately said goodbye and left, and Li Zhang also personally gave the other party a few steps.

After sending off the gift-giving manager, Li Zhang just returned to the hall, but saw Xiuxiu and Douzi brothers and sisters looking at the gifts with their eyes shining. When they saw Li Zhang coming in, Douzi shouted exaggeratedly: "Brother, we are rich. This gift-giving person is so generous, and they are all good things!"

Seeing Douzi's happy look, Li Zhang laughed and said, "Don't think this gift is so easy to receive. This gift giver is smart, because he knows that he might use me in the future."

"Brother, I don't receive any reward without any merit. I also think that this gift-giving person is not kind, so how can I give such expensive gifts if I don't know him? I think it's better to return these gifts?" At this time, Xiuxiu said with some concern. Most girls are precocious, and what she considers is much more complicated than beans.

"No need, this gift-giving person is indeed not a good person, but he just used this matter to make some connection with me. It is unknown whether he can use it in the future. And I am sure that not only me, but almost all the people in the entire capital who can use it, have received his gifts!" Li Zhang smiled again at this time. If Wang Qin is a real villain, although he was demoted to Hangzhou two years ago, he has never given up. It is probably because he heard that Zhao Heng was seriously ill, so he wanted to deal with it everywhere to lay the foundation for returning to the capital in the future.

"That's right, my brother is so capable, there must be many people who have flattered him. This gift is nothing at all!" Douzi also said at this time, but although he said "it's nothing", his little hand held a tightly inkstone. It seemed that he liked this exquisitely made inkstone. Li Zhang was also very generous and gave him the inkstone directly, which made Douzi cheer. He now has to keep accounts and write every day, and he has long wanted a good inkstone.

At that moment, Li Zhang called Lao Dao and the others to help bring the gifts to the warehouse. Then he went to see Lu Wu again and told Wang Qinruo about giving gifts. As a result, Lu Wu also sneered and said, "Wang Qinruo is not giving up, but as long as Ding Wei is here, he will not think of coming back!"

Wang Qinruo was a villain, and Ding Wei was also a villain. In the past, Wang Qinruo was powerful, Ding Wei would rely on him. However, later, Wang Qinruo fell, Ding Wei immediately took advantage of the situation, so the two men had already formed a good deal, and Ding Wei would not let Wang Qinruo come back and step on him.

"Uncle Wu said it well, but Wang Qinruo also started to move around. I was worried that the court would be even more uneasy!" Li Zhang said at the end, and also showed a worried expression. With Zhao Heng's serious illness, the Song Dynasty already felt a sense of storm. In addition, the internal power struggle, I don't know how many people will be involved?

"You're worried, the queen and those ministers will deal with the matters in the court. You can do your part. It's not too late to worry about these things when you grow up!" Lu Wu glared at Li Zhang. In fact, he was also reminding Li Zhang that although Wang Qinruo gave him gifts this time, some things were not something he could interfere with.

"Don't worry, Uncle Wu, I know the importance. Wang Qinruo didn't just give me a gift. With his character, he might even give him a gift from Ding Wei's mansion. Of course, it would be different if the other party would accept it." Li Zhang smiled immediately. He knew his weight and knew that Wang Qinruo must have cast a wide net this time, so he had no intention of exerting any effort.

Seeing that Li Zhang understood what he meant, Lu Wu felt relieved. Then the two of them talked about other things, and then Li Zhang returned to his room to rest.

The weather was getting colder, but Zhao Heng's condition suddenly changed. Zhao Heng, who was sometimes unconscious and sometimes awake, has been more awake than coma these days, and his mind is very clear. He even occasionally summoned some ministers. The imperial doctor also said that Zhao Heng's condition had improved, which made the atmosphere in the palace relax suddenly. Even Zhao Zhen and Miaoyuan had a lot of smiles on his face.

However, at this moment, no one expected another major conflict in the court. Ding Wei and Li Di, the two prime ministers, actually started fighting in the court. You read that right, the two prime ministers fought against other ministers. It is said that in the end, Li Di, a younger Li Di won. Ding Wei was beaten to the point of bruising and swollen face, which was terrible.

Speaking of Ding Wei and Li Di, these two are also old enemies. When Kou Zhun was dismissed from prime minister, the two had a conflict with Kou Zhun's demotion location. Li Di wanted to protect Kou Zhun, so he asked to demote Kou Zhun to Xiangzhou closer to the capital. However, Ding Wei hated Kou Zhun, so he naturally wanted to demote Kou Zhun the farther away as possible.

The two quarreled in the court because of Kou Zhun's affairs. Zhao Heng, who was already sick at the time, was also furious and was furious. Then he simply beat the two of them to 50 slams. However, in the end, Zhao Heng adopted Li Di's opinion and demoted Kou Zhun to Xiangzhou. Unfortunately, not long after, Zhao Heng became confused. So under Ding Wei's bewitching, Kou Zhun was demoted further and further away and could never return to the capital.

The reason why Li Di and Ding Wei fought this time was also due to personnel issues. Speaking of which, the cause of this incident was Li Zhang's old acquaintance, that is, the old guy Linte. After Linte climbed Ding Wei, he has always been deeply trusted by Ding Wei. Now that Zhao Heng is in a state of illness, Ding Wei wants to take this opportunity to put his people in an important position in the court.

So in this case, Ding Wei recommended Linte as the envoy of the Three Sessions, who was in charge of finance, and was known as the prime minister. Linte had held this position before, but was dismissed by Kou Zhun. Now Ding Wei recommended Linte as the envoy of the Three Sessions, just to control the finances of the Song Dynasty.

Li Di hated Linte very much, and he knew that Ding Wei alone would put him at a disadvantage. If there was one more Linte, he would probably have done the final result, so Li Di naturally opposed it desperately. Even if the imperial edict to appoint Linte had been sent, Li Di still refused, and even said that Ding Wei forged the imperial edict.

Forging an imperial edict is a serious crime of beheading, so Ding Wei was naturally very angry. As a result, the two of them became more and more quarreled. In the end, they rolled up their sleeves and started fighting in the hall. All the officials around were shocked. No one came forward to stop them for a while. In the end, another senior official, Feng Zheng, came forward to persuade the fight. The others then reacted and pulled away the two disheveled prime ministers.

"Li Shaofu's temper is so big, I really can't tell it?" The next day, Li Zhang just arrived at the palace and heard from Zhao Zhen about the fight between Li Di and Ding Wei yesterday. He was also very surprised at the moment. He only discovered this yesterday that there were not many people outside who knew about it.

"I didn't expect that Young Master Li would fight with Ding Xiang, but I heard from the eunuch who was on duty in the hall yesterday that Ding Xiang suffered a great loss and even the nosebleed was beaten out by Young Master Li!" Zhao Zhen also said with a gossip at this time. The fight was not only the two prime ministers of the Song Dynasty, but one of them was their husbands. Although Li Di did not teach them personally, he could see them often in normal times, which is why Zhao Zhen was so interested in this matter.

"How is it now? Two prime ministers will definitely not give up so easily, right?" Li Zhang asked with great interest at this time. He used to only know that the ministers of the Song Dynasty had bad tempers, such as Kou Zhun dared to threaten the emperor, and Bao Zheng dared to spray his saliva on the emperor's face, but he did not expect that these ministers even dared to fight in the hall. This was really a big gossip.

In fact, Li Zhang was also ignorant. If he knew that the top scholar in the Song Dynasty was even decided by fighting, he would definitely be even more surprised. This incident is said to have happened during the period of Taizu of Song. At that time, there were two candidates in the imperial examination. So Taizu of Song asked the two to fight, and the winner in the end won the top scholar. Therefore, the ridiculous things in the Song Dynasty were not less than those in other dynasties.

"Of course it's impossible to just let it go. Yesterday, Xiang Ding and Shaofu Li quarreled to go to the palace to see their father, but they were blocked by the eldest lady. After all, the father's body was just a little bit, so I didn't have time to worry about them!" Zhao Zhen smiled again at this time. As the prince, he also understood the way of checks and balances early. The two prime ministers were not in the same mind, so it would be easier to control. If the two prime ministers were in close contact, the emperor would be restless.
