In order to give birth to dragon children in recent years, the official family has put almost all their energy on women's bellies. It is not without results. In three years, eight princesses were born in succession, but none of them took the lead. Although no one
I dare say that the emperor will definitely not give birth to a son... After all, there are still several pregnant women in the palace, and no one knows whether there will be hope until the moment of birth.
But everyone knows that hope is already very slim. But when the truth comes out, the fish and shrimps are all gone. The only way is to strike first! In and outside the palace, in the government and the public, everyone has ambitions, ideas, and greed.
Those who read it have already made small calculations.
Establishing a good relationship with the next emperor in advance has become a topic that people gradually no longer avoid...
"Now it seems that Zhao Zongshi is the winner." Zhang Dun said bluntly: "If you don't have the belief to fight, then just pretend that I didn't say anything. I will try my best to protect your family in the future!"
Strong, too strong. Zhang Dun tried his best to restrain himself before, but now he unsheathes his sword and unleashes his aura. The pressure he puts on Chen Ke has the charm of Han Qi.
He doesn't allow you to hesitate at all. Yes or no, you must give the answer!
If you continue to be vague, you will be looked down upon by this guy. Chen Ke sneered in his heart, picked up the wine glass and said: "Let me lend you a word, it depends on the person!"
"Do it!" Zhang Dun nodded, clinked glasses with him and drank.
Putting down his wine glass, Chen Kefang continued: "But I'm not doing it for my own selfish gain. Our person is indeed more suitable than Zhao Zongshi."
"How do you say that?" Zhang Dun's eyebrows twitched.
"I won't say that Zhao Zongshi is pretending to be a saint just to be the emperor." Chen Ke said solemnly: "I only know that we are always thinking about restoring Yan Yun..."
If you have this idea, both parties can go into the urination pot. Zhang Dun nodded with satisfaction and said: "I'm waiting for your good news!" After a pause, he said: "But time waits for no one, don't make me wait too long.
"
"No problem." Chen Ke nodded and smiled: "But can you tell me why you don't like Zhao Zongshi?"
"The reason is very simple. I should have been the number one scholar," Zhang Dun said calmly: "In order to build momentum for Zhao Zongshi, Liu Chang put Liu Hui... that Liu Ji. in front of me."
"I see." With Zhang Dun's character of retribution, he naturally would not flatter Liu Chang anymore.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After drinking and eating, Chen Ke sent Zhang Dun back to his foreign house to rest... Zhang Dun originally lived in the guild hall. But Chen Keli invited him to live at home, and Zhang Dun did not refuse.
The carriage drove slowly on the street, and the thick walls of the carriage blocked out the sounds from the outside world. The two people in the carriage were both a little drunk, so they quietly closed their eyes and meditated.
But in fact, their minds were spinning rapidly.
For Zhang Dun, he did come to Chen Ke on his own initiative. First of all, he didn't like Zhao Zongshi and had a great impression of Chen Ke. As he said, he felt that Chen Ke and Wang Anshi were the future.
People who can change the Song Dynasty.
But the most important thing is that he is naturally adventurous. In fact, before setting off, he was ordered to contact Zhao Zongshi. But on the way, he heard the news that Zhao Zongji and Chen Ke had returned from a mission to the Liao Kingdom with a great victory, so he changed his mind temporarily.
He chose Zhao Zongji behind Wang Anshi's back.
This is an out-and-out political speculation, and its method of behavior is the legendary "burning the cold stove", or "unpopular betting method".
This move is no small matter, and the difference between winning and losing depends entirely on the parties' vision, courage, and the insight to recognize heroes. If the bet is successful, you will naturally make a lot of money, and follow the master to rise through the ranks, because providing help in the snow is always more appreciated than the icing on the cake.
But what Leng Zao means is that everyone is not optimistic about it. Everyone is not optimistic about it, and naturally there are reasons for not being optimistic about it. The chances of failure are far greater than those of success.
Once it fails, all will be lost and all life-long ambitions will be in vain...
However, wealth and wealth can be found in danger. Zhang Dun believed in his vision and calmly analyzed that he would not get anything in return if he tried to please the popular Zhao Zongshi. The most important thing is that Zhao Zongshi will definitely rely on those who support him in the future.
His veteran minister, Wang Jiefu, still had no use for him.
So he resolutely decided to attach himself to Zhao Zongji, who was the second overall pick and had no foundation and seemed to have little hope. When he made this decision, he relied on his keen intuition - an extraordinary being who was beyond ordinary people and could understand things very clearly.
Sensing the presence of another similar person, just like a wolf, can easily know the danger factor of the beast opposite.
Although he didn't understand Zhao Zongji, he knew Chen Ke and knew that such an outstanding person would never mess around with Zhao Zongji when there was no chance of winning. He believed that Chen Ke must have his reasons for not giving up on Zhao Zongji!
On Chen Ke's side, he was carefully calculating how much help this new student party member would have... although he knew that this must be a considerable force, otherwise it would not have swept the world and conquered the entire China in ten years.
It was completely changed beyond recognition. But what Zhao Zongji urgently needed was ready help! The power that could help him ascend to the throne!
This is not to underestimate the New Study Party members. After all, officials don’t like Wang Anshi very much. If Zhao Zongji goes against Zhao Zhen’s wishes and gets too close to Wang Anshi, it may not be a good thing. If the New Study Party members can only make mistakes in the future
If Zhao Zongji becomes the emperor in the future, they will have no choice but to take refuge in him if they want to do something. There was no relationship before, which is actually a good thing.
But Zhao Zongji was really short of people... How could he let go of this help so easily?
In this way, everyone walked all the way, and the carriage arrived at an alley behind Nanmen Street. As soon as the simple and low-key gate opened, the carriage went straight in.
When the car stopped in the courtyard, Zhang Dun got out and saw twenty-four Japanese girls lined up in four rows. They all leaned towards them and saluted: "You are back, you have worked hard..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After settling Zhang Dun and letting him enjoy himself, Chen Ke rushed to Zhao Zongji. Zhang Dun couldn't wait long and had to give him an answer as soon as possible.
When they arrived at the palace, they saw Zhao Zongji sulking there with a gloomy face.
"What's going on?" Chen Ke picked up the tea and took a sip. Yes, it was clear tea.
"The problem is solved." Zhao Zongji said with a dark face: "Fu Xianggong agreed to the Liao people's request without hesitation. He told me that if the Liao people don't want to be relatives, then forget it, as long as I don't take advantage of them."
"I said, how can this be considered taking advantage? Since it has been discussed from generation to generation, then the official is Yelu Hongji's uncle." Zhao Zongji said angrily: "How could he not scream if he didn't want to!"
"What did Mr. Fu say?"
"He was silenced for a long time by what I said, and finally told me that from the standpoint of the prime minister, we must consider the national situation. Now that the imperial court is disarmament, there must be no chaos on the border." Zhao Zongji paused and said, "He also said that this is also an official matter.
The meaning of family is to struggle endlessly for a title, and the loss outweighs the gain!"
"In this way, Mr. Fu, who took the overall situation into consideration, basically agreed to all the requests of the Liao Kingdom. Did he agree to everything except not increasing the currency?" Zhao Zongji said angrily: "I really want to know who was willing to fight for the country without risking his life.
Where has Fu Yanguo gone! If he sees that his behavior today is no different from Lu Yijian and others, will he feel ashamed and angry?"
"Calm down..." Chen Ke comforted softly: "Perhaps Mr. Fu really has his own reasons."
"What's the reason?" Zhao Zongji snorted.
Chen Ke then told Zhao Zongji what he had seen and heard in the past two days. Zhao Zongji then calmed down a little and said: "When dealing with foreign affairs, you must first make peace with yourself at home. It's a good habit."
"If you feel angry, write an article to vent your anger and make your attitude clear to the world." Chen Ke said with a smile.
"It's already written!" Zhao Zongji walked to the desk, picked up some pieces of letter paper and said, "Look!"
Chen Ke took it and took a look at it, only to see that it read: "Your Majesty, please think of the shame of the Northern Territory and the contempt of the Central Plains, and always have the intention of revenge. Take courage and do it without forgetting to be on guard. Internally, you can revise political orders, clarify rewards and punishments, and identify evil."
Honesty, save money. Externally, select generals, train soldiers, repair and destroy, and advocate the power of construction. Make the two sides self-defeating upon hearing the news, and dare not turn inward. Even if they invade the frontier, it will not be a serious danger...'
"Very good, just write it like this." After reading it, he nodded and said with a smile: "As soon as this memorial is published, many people will come closer to you."
"I don't know if we will get closer." Zhao Zongji suddenly laughed and said, "I only know that we have only been back in Beijing for two days, and someone has already impeached us."
"So fast?" Chen Ke said in surprise.
"It's so fast." Zhao Zongji nodded and said: "Several officials from the Yushitai told us that we were arrogant and rude when we went to the meeting to drink and shoot; we spoke too much to the Lord of Liao, which caused the negotiation to drag on for a long time."
Tiao, criticized us thoroughly."
"Then why are you still so happy?" Chen Ke smiled.
"Because the officials just gave them a word," Zhao Zongji said with a smile: "Get out!"
"Hahahaha..." Chen Ke laughed: "What a good scolding, it is refreshing!"
"Yeah," Zhao Zongji said with a smile: "These idiots actually think that officials don't know right from wrong..."
"Do you know right from wrong..." Chen Ke stopped laughing and softly told Zhao Zongji about the incident of 'King Liu Tian'.
"I know about Miss Liu, but this is the first time her brother has heard of it..." Zhao Zongji snorted and said: "Such idiots are running rampant on the streets, which really embarrasses the royal family. You take care of it well! If anything happens, I will take care of you.
!" After a pause, he said quietly: "But it doesn't matter, then Beauty Liu is almost finished..."
"What?" Chen Ke said softly: "Didn't I hear that she is pregnant?"
"Otherwise, she won't be able to finish." Zhao Zongji said solemnly.
