In the palace of Funing Palace, Zhao Zhen said slowly: "Besides, the front office of the palace does not have the power to mobilize troops. I just asked you to help me suppress them from causing chaos. Most of the front office of the palace are your old subordinates. You don't want to
There is a psychological burden. As for gossip, there must be some. The most indispensable thing in the Song Dynasty is saliva."
"I know that you are still afraid of being attacked by a group again. But this time, I can guarantee that if I have any doubts about you, I will definitely ask you in person. I will never lie to others, nor will I use any edict to convey it.
." Zhao Zhen paused, looked at Di Qing and said: "For my sake, ignore those vicious attacks, even if I beg you..."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to say any more..." Di Qing heard the official's heartfelt confession, and all sorts of emotions came to his head. He wanted to say something, but his throat was choked and he couldn't say it. After a while, he said: "From now on, I will guard the official family wholeheartedly.
Don’t let Xiao Xiao cause trouble!”
"That's exactly what I mean." Zhao Zhen nodded. Seeing Di Qing taking on the heavy burden, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The Imperial City Department and the Palace Front Department have mixed too much sand. The first thing Aiqing has to do is
The thing is, just pick out the sand for me, but there’s really nothing you can do about it, so just pour it in with the rice and make another pot again.”
"Yes." Di Qing felt shocked and nodded.
Xu Shi let go of the heavy stone in his heart. Although he talked for a long time, Zhao Zhen's complexion was better than before, and he said a lot of words of comfort. Zhao Zhencai chuckled and said: "There is one more thing, I want to
I have the audacity to ask the Qing family."
"The official's words are serious," Di Qing said respectfully, "The humble minister naturally knows everything and says it."
"Relax," Zhao Zhen said with a smile, "I'm talking about children and family matters. Is your second son definitely getting married?"
"..." Di Qing shook his head and said, "The dog is not married yet."
"That's great." Zhao Zhen said happily: "My ten-year-old girl has already reached the age of hairpins. The day before yesterday, I teased her and asked her what kind of consort she wanted to find in the future. I thought she would be shy, but she immediately replied:'
My future husband will be like Di Yong.'" The word "husband" and "wife" are exactly the colloquialisms of Bianliang in the Song Dynasty. Zhao Zhen laughed loudly as he spoke: "What a person your Di Yong is!"
"It's just a skin," Di Qing said: "A man still has to rely on his ability."
"Oh, Mr. Di is good. After the generals of the same generation, he is the one I like the most." Zhao Zhen said and looked at Di Qing and said: "I have betrothed Princess Qingshou to Di Yong, how about we get married?
"
"This..." Di Qing said in fear: "How can a humble minister dare to climb up to the emperor's daughter?"
"If Mr. Di wants to say that his own family is grassroots, then what are other people's families, grassroots?" Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "If you don't object, the matter is settled."
"Wei Chen..." Di Qing said respectfully: "How dare you disobey..."
"Hahaha..." Zhao Zhen laughed happily and said, "Then we will be in-laws from now on."
Seeing that the official was in a better mood, Di Qing said softly: "I still have something to do, please let me know."
"Say." Zhao Zhen smiled.
"I shouldn't mention it now. But more than a hundred students from my martial arts academy have come to the capital with me. If I tell them after I go back that I have to follow the emperor in the future, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the children.
..." Di Qing said with some emotion: "I feel ashamed, I have failed my holy hope. I was full of ambitions to establish a martial arts school and train generals for Your Majesty. Who would have thought that the ambitions and talents were not enough, and the martial arts school became more and more withered, leaving more than a hundred idiots.
It’s okay…”
"It's not your fault. Speaking of which, I am mostly responsible," Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "I am the one who protected you and your students." He snorted and said, "They went too far.
All thirteen martial arts exams have been dismissed, this is simply wanton! It can be seen that I often make things difficult for you!"
"It turns out that the officials know everything..." Di Qing said sadly.
"It's all my fault that I was too stupid and abandoned my martial arts," Zhao Zhen sighed, "So I deserve what I have today."
Di Qing didn't dare to answer, so he jumped over and asked, "How should I explain to them when I go back?"
"Tell them that the martial arts academy will continue to operate, and most of it will be run specially!" Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "Let all the generals of the Song Dynasty come out of this door!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Di Qing talked to the officials for a while, remembering that Zhao Zhen was ill, so he got up and left. Zhao Zhen left him to eat, but it was still early, so Di Qing had to say that Wei Chen should go outside to see if the officials could still
After taking a nap for an hour, Zhao Zhen let him go.
After Di Qing left, Hu Yandui came in quietly. He heard Zhao Zhen talking and laughing inside, and thought that the official family had finally given up. Who knew that when he went in, Zhao Zhen had tears streaming down his face.
Seeing that the emperor was sentimental and unable to control himself, Hu Yandui quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and advised him with tears in his eyes: "Originals, don't think about the past anymore. Rest more and take good care of your holy body."
"I can't sleep..." Zhao Zhen let out a long sigh and said, "Old Hu, what sin do you think I have done to deserve this retribution for me?"
"Official, don't think about it," Hu Yandui said with tears, "You are a benevolent and righteous emperor, and you are blessed with great blessings. This time, there were so many mistakes, all because of the old and stupid slaves who failed to take care of those bastards, so the official was blinded.
Ashamed." He knelt down on his knees, kowtowed and said, "This old slave is useless, please punish me."
"Get up, what are you doing?" Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "I know, you just heard me say that there is no trustworthy person in the capital, so you became discouraged, right?"
"I don't dare, old slave."
"Although you are the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, your heart is focused on me. How can you take care of those miscellaneous personnel affairs?" Zhao Zhen said warmly.
"Originally Shi Quanbin was in charge, but he colluded with outsiders," Hu Yandui raised his head and said, "and was sent to guard the funeral of Emperor Zhenzong."
"Yes, I need Shi Quanbin by my side." Zhao Zhen said, "What do you think about letting Li Jihe be your deputy?"
"Jihe is courageous and dares to take on responsibilities," Hu Yandui said softly, "just suitable for managing the inner circle."
"Yes." Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Ruling the inner palace is the same as running the imperial court. You can't just use good people. You have to use bad people. From now on, you don't have to worry about those trivial things and just concentrate on being around me."
"Thank you, old slave." Hu Yandui said respectfully. He knew that this was because the officials were kind and generous to save face for him. If it were another emperor and such a big thing happened in the palace, even his ten heads would not be enough to compensate.
After saying that, he stood up and came forward, helping Zhao Zhen to lie down. Then he went to the other side and gently massaged Zhao Zhen. After a while, Guan Jia's breathing became more even and he fell asleep hazily.
Hu Yandui stood up gently and tiptoed to exit, but he heard Zhao Zhen angrily yell: "You bitch deserves to die!" Then he said: "You must be happy now!"
Hu Yandui looked over in horror and saw that Zhao Zhen still had his eyes closed. He knew that he was talking in his sleep. He couldn't help but sigh and cursed God for having no eyes. What outsiders didn't know was that the official had pulled out his treasured sword the night after the incident.
Fortunately, he was worried about staying outside and snatched the knife away in time, so that no tragedy occurred.
You can imagine how deeply this incident affected the official family...
Zhao Zhen did not fall into a deep sleep. He woke up less than half an hour later. Hu Yandui served him and took tranquilizing pills before he said softly: "Ms. Bao has been waiting outside for a while."
"Please come in." Zhao Zhen pushed himself to the ground and let Hu Yandui support him, lying on the easy chair.
Hu Yandui put another blanket on his legs before going out to invite Bao Zheng in.
After seeing the ceremony, the official gave him a seat and asked, "How is the investigation going?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the investigation has basically been completed. Outside the ten pavilions, the other empresses are innocent and self-possessed, and have not exceeded the rules." Bao Zheng said in a deep voice.
"Actually, you didn't investigate carefully at all." The official said with unprecedented harshness: "You are worried that the deeper the investigation, the worse the scandal will be. Not only will I lose face, but the court will also be embarrassed, right?"
"No." Bao Zheng was secretly sad. The officials seemed to have gone to the extreme of suspicion. He shook his head resolutely and said: "I have checked carefully and all the empresses are innocent. Only Shi Ge, who was recruited later, because
At first, they only focused on whether it was easy to give birth, and ignored the review of their character and family background. As a result, these fools thought that their goal was to give birth to a prince. After two years of failure, they took the risk... and the previous empresses were carefully selected.
Lady, you won’t make such a mistake.”
In fact, Zhao Zhen was right. Bao Zheng just didn't dare to investigate in detail. He just made a rough investigation and found that several concubines had committed adultery. How could he dare to investigate further? For the sake of the face of the country and the emperor, he could only do this.
act.

Zhao Zhen was silent for a moment and finally agreed with Bao Zheng's statement.
"As for the palace maids and eunuchs involved, there are twenty-seven of them in total. They all said they were just following orders and did not dare to disobey." Bao Zheng continued to report.
"By whose orders?"
"Those noble people who committed crimes."
"The push was quite clean!" Zhao Zhen snorted coldly.
"Wei Chen saw that those nobles were also eager to have children, so they were confused for a moment." Only an old man like Bao Zheng could say this kind of thing: "It doesn't seem like there is any deep plan."
"They are just a group of idiots, what do they know?" Zhao Zhen said sharply: "The problem lies with the Imperial City Department, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the people we trust. Without their connivance, just those idiots can
Cuckold a widower?!"
"Why are they doing this?" Bao Zheng asked softly.
"They don't care whether the prince is a member of the Zhao family, as long as he is born to a woman with a shallow foundation." Zhao Zhen said more and more coldly: "For their own glory and wealth, they never want the next emperor to come from the palace.
