Zhao Chang knelt and did not dare to look into his father's eyes. Perhaps at this moment, he realized that his father's call to him was not as simple as losing his temper. Obviously, the father and son must reach an agreement on this issue. Obviously, at present,
In terms of strength and pressure from public opinion, I will definitely be the one to give in.
However, Zhao Jiu did not intend to pursue him fiercely. Instead, he asked Zhao Chang: "I know what I said, and you will definitely not be able to object. But today's attack, rather than blaming you, I know that Zhang
Jun and the others were helpless before they died."
Zhao Chang was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said: "Dad, don't say such things, it's all the fault of your sons and ministers. As for the meritorious officials of Jianyan, you treat them with the utmost kindness and justice. They don't care about their good descendants. What can you do?"
I don’t know if Zhao Chang was a little bit wise, but as soon as he finished speaking, the white-haired former Dali prince Duan Zhixing came to report the funeral and said that Zhai Biao, the former imperial commander, was the Supreme Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
The local tycoon from Xiping, who was so loyal to Zhoucheng that he couldn't get out of bed last winter, just went there. Duan Zhixing said that Yousi has already planned the funeral arrangements. What are the instructions from the Emperor?
After all, this is also your close minister. Although his rank is not too high, his affection is probably second only to that of Prince Yang and Liu. We do not dare to act without authorization.
Zhao Jiu closed his eyes helplessly. There were few old friends traveling from north to south. He could not change the laws of nature. He just asked, "Zhai Laojiu, do you have anything to say to me?"
If others hear this, they may not know the nickname Zhai Biao. Fortunately, although Duan Zhixing is considered a junior, he grew up ten years after Jianyan. He said: "Brother Zhai Jiu has nothing special to say.
The second is to ask my descendants to abide by their duties. The family needs to be grateful for God's grace and swear to repay the favor to the death."
Zhao Jiu was thinking a lot, Yelu Mawu's small village, the turmoil under Nanyang City, the little secret of secretly killing Fan Zhixu, after the Lishan Incident, the embarrassment of the rough man hugging himself and crying, reincarnation flashed in his mind
.
Yuan Zuo's legs were numb as he was kneeling on one side. Duan Zhixing did not dare to offend the current official, so he could only say: "I don't know that the official has also come to Kaifeng. It is really not appropriate for the emperor to be too sad when he is ill. Should the official go to see President Zhai off?"
(After Zhao Jiu retired, he was appointed as the Chief of the Royal Camp), give this veteran minister some dignity."
"No need." This time it was Zhao Jiu who refused on behalf of his son. In fact, Zhao Chang wanted to come and express to his father that I treat your hero absolutely well, and to be honest, Yuan Zuo also treated Zhai Biao.
I have a good impression of him. I have known him since childhood. Zhai Li, his personal guard and later the envoy of Yanjing Palace, was also his clan brother.
At this point, Yuan Zuo couldn't help but sigh. His whole life, he was destined to have an entangled relationship with the hero of Jianyan.
Naturally, Zhao Jiu didn't know his son's inner thoughts, so he told Duan Zhixing: "The emperor and I have something to say, please go out."
Duan Zhixing looked at the strange father and son, who were running extremely quickly. They didn't look like they were in their fifties or sixties.
Speaking of which, if it hadn't been for the eldest princess's request, he wouldn't have dared to disturb the Supreme Emperor at this time.
After all, Zhao Jiu was getting old. After talking for a while, his emotions fluctuated and then he became really sad. His mind was unstable, and it affected his heart, and he actually started coughing.
Zhao Chang quickly got up to serve his father. It turned out that he had learned a lot about state governance since he was a child. But he really didn't know how to serve others, which made Zhao Jiu disgusted and summoned Xie Xiaoman.
After Concubine Xie gave Zhao Jiu the medicine and gave him some relief, she wanted to leave. She didn't want Zhao Jiu to let the historian go out too.
The historian was a Jinshi who had just graduated from high school. He wanted to protest that this was against the rules, but he was swept away by the Supreme Emperor's unwavering eyes. For some reason, he suddenly lost his courage.
The Holy Lord Huanghuang has been in power for 36 years, destroying gold and bringing peace to the Xia, and cleaning up the mountains and rivers. Only when you really get close to him do you realize how much power he has accumulated.
After a while, Zhao Jiu said to the embarrassed Yuan Zuo, "When I heard that you were going to carry out the Jin Xiangong mission, I was so angry that I wished I could slap you. But when I calm down and think about it, I seem to have given
Your wrong signal. Because I think I have treated my heroes well over the years, and your family has always been kind to me, but their next generation cannot.
It's perfect. I don't want to say more about the useless thing in Zhang Jun's family. Even a tutor like Peng Ju can't prevent Yue Lei from committing serious dereliction of duty on the Japanese issue and being dismissed from office. My intention is to embarrass you by dealing with these people personally.
, but in the eyes of others, they will think that the queen has no support from her family, and you yourself have other thoughts, right?"
Zhao Chang was very embarrassed, even more embarrassed than when his father pointed out that he wanted to abolish the direct lineage and establish a concubine.
Because the fact is that monarchs and ministers who share adversity may not necessarily be rich and powerful together. This is not because the king cannot tolerate his ministers, but because the ministers restrain themselves but their children generally have a mediocre education. After the heroes of Jianyan grow old, the next generation of the family is generally incompetent.
, people like Han Yanzhi and Wu Fu
He was regarded as the ancestor of Guangzong. Yue Yun was even more alone, especially Zhang Rong's son, who had forgotten his father's original intention. This spoiled naughty boy was extravagant and occupied land. After being reported by the local government, he actually shouted to let a few people go.
The brother-in-law makes the decision, and several sisters beat him, but he still refuses to change.
Zhao Jiu naturally asked the local officials to deal with it however they wanted. As long as Zhang Rong was ensured, he could not condone this trend.
But everything is divided into two. The children of the hero's family are not living up to expectations and have no direct relationship with the queen in the palace. On the contrary, this will not make the relatives too powerful, so Zhao Jiu said: "Actually, you don't know this problem. I won the title back then."
After the deer's victory, he became extremely vigilant and almost missed it.
Something happened, thanks to Mr. Hu for persuading me. But I know that these things are inevitable after all. When I was young, I thought that problems could be solved, but now that I am old, I really don’t have the strength to take care of it now.
This is probably your last heir."
It was rare for Zhao Chang to see his old father look so powerless. He was also very depressed in his heart, but he had lived in the shadow of his father for nearly 40 years, and there were some things he said that he would not say even if it meant it. He kowtowed heavily and said: "Dad,
If you have a will, your son will definitely listen to you, as long as you don't get angry. But today our father and son want to speak out, then the son will also
Let me tell you from my heart, my father was always dissatisfied with the old Song Dynasty's party fighting and ruining the country. So much so that during the Jingkang period, the parties were united and opposed. But this morning, it is true that he was interested in other sons because of a rift with the queen. However, the princes are all young and have no special abilities.
Or, if you choose a prince who has too much involvement with the hero's family at this time, will it increase the burden on our court after you and my father and son?"
The answer is definitely yes. Zhao Jiu looked at his son speechlessly. Seeing that he was so good at thinking, he did not say anything unpleasant after all. He just said: "I was originally worried that you would not be able to keep the family business, but now I see.
You are a little worried, you are at the level of Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty at most, not above or below."
Yuan Zuo didn't react for a moment and said in confusion: "What does daddy mean?"
Zhao Jiu sneered and said: "Xianzong Yuanfei Guo is the granddaughter of Fenyang King Guo Ziyi. He was afraid of Guo's learning and refused to establish a successor. In fact, how incompetent you must be to be afraid of a woman interfering with you.
What future generations still say about Yuan He Zhongxing, even if he doesn't take the elixir, I guess he won't be able to solve the situation in the feudal town."
After saying this, Yuan Zuo finally came to his senses. His father was still scolding him in a roundabout way. He was too embarrassed to reply and said: "Dad, I am indeed a handsome man. I don't dare to compare with you."
Then this issue has to go back to the original point. Zhao Jiu said again: "I have made it clear, you can slowly clean up the southwestern influence of the meritorious family, but if you are really not confident, send your children to me for training.
I guarantee that we won’t be able to raise this kind of women’s temple.
No matter what your heart is. In short, it is impossible for me to agree to what you do to the queen and the legitimate son, no matter what your reasons are, because once you do this, I will not be able to close my eyes after I die, and I will not be able to see Han Liangchen. No
I dare to think of how many times he saved me."

That’s it for now. What follows is the dialogue between Empress Han and Liang Hongyu’s mother and daughter. If you’re interested, let’s talk about it.
It's New Year's Day soon, so I would like to wish everyone a happy new year.
