What do you need to worry about?" Zhao Zhen asked again, unable to help but ask.

"Your Majesty, I may have thought too much, but I think if I were Li Yuanhao, I might choose to avoid the edge. For example, when Xingzhou City moves westward with its population, it can preserve most of its strength. When we relax, he will probably make a comeback!" Cao Wei immediately expressed his worries.

"Do you say Li Yuanhao has the courage to throw him down and run away from Xingzhou?" Zhao Zhen also said in shock when he heard this. Not only did Lu Yijian next to him, but also showed a look of surprise, because the possibility was too small, but Li Zhang showed a thoughtful expression.

"Your Majesty doesn't know. Although I have never seen Li Yuanhao, I have collected some information about this person back then. I originally thought that he would be in a slump after being blown into crippled by Li Duwei, but I didn't expect that he would not only not sink, but he would almost unify Dang Xiang again when he cheered up. From this, we can see that Li Yuanhao is able to bend and stretch, and he also clearly knows the gap between Dang Xiang and the Song Dynasty. When facing a war that is doomed to fail, it is also a very wise act for him to choose to retreat!" Cao Wei also spoke very cautiously at this time.

When Cao Wei mentioned Li Zhang, Zhao Zhen and Lu Yijian also looked at him, which made Li Zhang immediately speak: "Li Yuanhao is very terrible. If he really makes the decision to withdraw from Xingzhou, I wouldn't be surprised."

"If this is true, then Zhao Zhen is still holding his troops now. If Li Yuanhao from the other side takes the opportunity to escape, wouldn't it be bad?" Zhao Zhen also believed Li Zhang's words more, and said with an anxious look at this time.

"Don't worry, your majesty, the winter in the northwest is even more terrible. Li Yuanhao cannot escape from Xingzhou at this time, and Zhao Zhen is on the other side of the river. If Li Yuanhao makes any big moves, he can't hide it from his eyes. So even if Li Yuanhao wants to escape, it will not be possible until next spring." Cao Wei explained again at this time, and Li Zhang and Lu Yijian also deeply agreed with this.

Zhao Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then discussed with Cao Wei the possible situation of the next battle. After all, he was still young and it was the first time he had experienced a war, so he couldn't hold back and didn't ask for some things and he was still worried about it.

After asking about the war, Zhao Zhen asked Cao Wei to retreat, and then discussed government affairs with Lu Yijian, while Li Zhang was by his side. However, he never interrupted the government affairs. Only when Zhao Zhen asked, he would express his own opinions.

Finally, Lu Yijian also retreated, with only Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang left in the hall. At this time, Zhao Zhen also showed a little tired expression and said, "Being an emperor is so tiring. There are so many things to worry about every day, and I feel that I can't hold on!"

Seeing Zhao Zhen covering his head with a headache, Li Zhang smiled calmly and said, "Planning his position and fulfilling his duties. You are the emperor and the world's common ruler. Naturally, there are all aspects of things that you need to worry about. But now it is mainly because you are in charge of the rule and are not very familiar with ministers and government affairs. Therefore, there are so many things you have to worry about yourself. After you get familiar with it, just hand over the special matters to the special ministers. You only need to control the overall situation, and it will be much easier then."

"But... I remember that the eldest lady is not like this. She seems to like to handle everything herself. Many people in the court also praised the eldest lady for being very diligent and the eldest lady also governed the country well. If I handed over everything to the ministers, will there be any problem?" Zhao Zhen hesitated when he heard Li Zhang's words.

"I don't want you to do everything yourself like the Queen Mother. Although it is indeed beneficial to do this, such as putting power in one's body and having a more refined grasp of the government, it also requires a lot of time and energy to consume. Look at the old lady since she came to power. Although you are young, if you are as busy as the old lady, I'm afraid..."

Li Zhang did not say anything more in the end. Although there were only two of them in the hall, Zhao Zhen is the emperor after all, and some taboo words are still inconvenient to say, otherwise it would be easy to cause trouble if you are heard.

Zhao Zhen nodded thoughtfully when he heard this. Indeed, when Liu E was in power, she actually looked very young, and even looked like a middle-aged lady. However, in just ten years, Liu E had become so old that she was not as good as a woman. If he had to do everything himself, it would be difficult for him to live long.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen also looked at Li Zhang and smiled and said, "Thank you for your reminder. I will pay attention in the future. But when it comes to the Grandma, how are you prepared for the burial? You have always been responsible for this matter, I am very relieved!"

"The burial is ready. Now I am waiting for the burial day. At that time, Your Majesty will also send the Empress Dowager to the imperial tomb personally. It may take three or four days to come back." Li Zhang immediately replied, his main energy during this period was also focused on Liu E's funeral. Because the spirits were stopped for a long time, the funeral was also prepared very well.

Zhao Zhen nodded when he heard this. Although Liu E was not his biological mother, she was grateful for raising and teaching, especially because she did not kill her biological mother, which gave them a day to reunite. This is also one of the main reasons why Zhao Zhen was grateful to her.

"I will definitely go there on the day of the burial. And the day before yesterday, I heard from my mother that she also wanted to send her off to the eldest lady. Then I will ask her to go with the young lady and others!" Zhao Zhen said again. His mother Li Shunrong has been respected as the queen mother, but compared to Liu E, Queen Mother Li is a quiet and virtuous person. She usually stays in the palace and never sees outsiders, and never participates in the government affairs, which also makes many ministers relieved.

"No problem, I will make arrangements then!" Li Zhang nodded immediately, but when he said this, he suddenly showed a hesitant expression. After a moment, he spoke, "But before the empress dowager was buried, there was another very important thing that had not been confirmed. Now the officials of the Ministry of Rites are also quarreling. I guess they will still quarrel in front of you in the end."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Zhen also rubbed the temples on both sides of his forehead with a headache when he heard this. Liu E had too many transcendences during her lifetime, which also made her funeral controversial. For this reason, he had heard the quarrels of officials from the Ministry of Rites more than once. He thought he would be buried in a few days, but he didn't expect that there would be such a problem in the end.

"This matter is still related to the Taimiao." Li Zhang also smiled bitterly at this time.
