Looking at Lu Yijian slowly retreating with the government officials, Zhao Xin let out a long breath. In fact, he was quite afraid that the Prime Minister Li Di, who had been standing behind Lu Yijian, would speak.
It's a pity that in the end, the old minister didn't say a word.
Before leaving, he bowed deeply to Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin knew that this old minister was bidding farewell to him.
Maybe after today, we will never see each other again.
Li Di is too old and not in good health. Getting up so early like today is a special case and will never happen again.
However, Zhao Xin did not stop the veteran minister after all.
Because Zhao Xin knew what he wanted.
He is a staunch attacker!
Not with speculators like Lu Yijian and Xia Song, Li Di has never bothered to lie in his life, he is so stubborn!
Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the emperor's master twice, and the total time was less than one year.
The only time in his life that he surrendered was to Empress Dowager Zhang Xianmingsu.
Therefore, Zhao Xin was actually quite afraid of meeting Li Di.
Because what he fears most is this kind of pure person.
Because they are pure, they are clean. This kind of person is the person that people like Zhao Xin fear the most.
When you see them, you feel as if you are seeing a mirror, and you feel ashamed and embarrassed.
Seeing Li Di's old back disappear from sight, Zhao Xin sighed and said in her heart: "In this world, a gentleman will never be able to defeat a villain..."
Therefore, if a good guy wants to fight a bad guy, he must be more cunning, evil, fierce, and cunning than the bad guy!
This is the truth that Zhao Xin learned through the lessons of blood and tears in his previous life.
It's impossible to reason with those literary scoundrels.
You can only tell the truth and they will listen.
What truth?
The money in your pocket is the real thing, and the knife handle in your hand is the truth!
If you don’t believe it, then convince him!
With these thoughts in mind, Zhao Xin continued to meet with the Privy Council ministers, then the Third Division, then the Kaifeng Mansion, the Trial Court...
Like a fictional story, I sat in my seat, listening to the ministers reporting on the affairs of their respective departments, and jotting down the key points in my mind.
Soon, Chen hour arrived.
Therefore, Zhang Weiji came out of the queue at the right time and paid homage to Zhao Xin: "Your Majesty, the time has come. May I ask if your Majesty is still willing to listen to the government?"
Zhao Xin shook his head and said: "I'm so lonely... If you have any important matters, please ask me to gather in the back hall!"
He was picked up by Liu Yongnian and put on the cart. Under the protection of the Dianzhi warriors, he walked out from the east door of Chui Gong Hall.
"Your Majesty has returned to the palace, and all the ministers will respectfully see him off!" the muezzin's voice came from afar.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Xin returned to Yanhe Hall.
Queen Cao was already waiting at the door. When she saw Zhao Xin, she immediately stepped forward, picked him up, and asked, "Is everything going well for Erlang in charge of the government today?"
"Thanks to your Majesty, everything went well?" Zhao Xin replied sweetly, and then asked: "Has Aye woke up?"
"I just woke up and took medicine..." Queen Cao replied.
In the past two days, Zhao Zhen's body has gradually gained some color, and the time he can wake up has increased to four hours a day. He can even get out of bed and try to walk with the help of others.
However, the imperial doctor said that even if you can move completely normally and walk, you still need to rest for more than three months!
Otherwise, the condition may relapse or even worsen.
By the way, the truth behind Zhao Zhen's fainting was also found out.
Zhang Cairen of Ninghua Palace, in order to maintain his favor, presented a large number of beautiful women to Zhao Zhen. Sometimes he even condescended to serve Zhao Zhen himself and other women.
Zhao Zhen was of course very happy, but his little brother couldn't hold it any longer.
It just so happened that Zhang Cairen recruited Yang Xi, who had been expelled from the Imperial Medical Bureau, back. So, when Zhao Zhen asked, of course Yang Xi did not dare to refuse, so he prescribed some strong medicine to Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen ate it a few times, and it turned out to be a dragon, a tiger, a tiger, a dragon, a tiger, and a beast with unrivaled power!
As long as those things are used, it is difficult to stop, and more and more will be needed each time.
On the day of the incident, Zhao Zhen used at least twice the usual amount...
So it overturned...
This matter has now been clearly investigated by Zhang Weiji, and all the physical evidence and confessions have been obtained.
Therefore, Yang Xi, who wanted to advance in vain, was directly sentenced to death.
Except for Zhang Cairen, all the women who were in Ninghua Hall that day were sent to a nunnery outside Bianjing to become a monk.
All the ministers who served Zhao Zhen that day were punished to sweep the Zhenzong Cemetery.
Only Zhang Cairen seemed to be unscathed.
However, only Zhao Xin knew that Zhao Zhen was already somewhat distant from Ning Huadian.
The reason why it is not shown directly now is simply because Zhao Zhen has not found a younger and more beautiful woman yet.
Once a younger and more beautiful woman appears in front of Zhao Zhen, the once famous Zhang Cairen of Ninghua Palace will immediately turn into a shooting star and flash across the sky.
Empress Cao picked up Zhao Xin and quickly returned to the bedroom.
At this moment, Zhao Zhen was eating breakfast, being served by two palace maids.
When Zhao Xin came back, Zhao Zhen smiled and asked, "How does Erlang feel about being in charge of politics today?"
"Aye..." Zhao Xin got off Queen Cao, came to the bed, and replied: "Erlang feels that the ministers in the court are all smart and powerful people. The country has such help, Aye will be able to sit back and relax!"
So, he reported to Zhao Zhen all the key points that he had written down in Chui Gong Hall today.
Zhao Zhen listened and nodded repeatedly, even feeling a little happy in his heart.
He even wished that Zhao Xin would grow up quickly so that he could handle most of the annoying government affairs instead.
In this way, he can have fun in the imperial city.
Anyway, this country will be handed over to the emperor sooner or later!
Earlier or later, there is not much difference.
Of course, this is also Zhao Zhen.
Anyone else would probably only be thinking about how to hold on to power.
However, after Zhao Xin finished talking about the key points of listening to the government, she paid her respects to Zhao Zhen: "Ah, today, Erlang, please ask Prime Minister Shen Guogong to do two things..."
"What are you talking about?" Zhao Zhen asked strangely.
"My son, I applied to apply for the Duke of the State, and added dried fish to the package of trade with China..." Zhao Xin explained: "Aye should also know that Xia Xuanhui caught a large amount of sea fish on Guangnan East Road, and dried it.
There are ten thousand stones, and they are on their way to Bianjing!"
Zhao Zhen listened, nodded, and his eyes lit up: "My son is really smart, he actually thought of a way to include dried fish in the bidding list!"
"In this way, the country may be able to reduce its expenditure by hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars every year!"
Zhao Xin added: "In addition, Erlang also asked Shen Guogong to add saltpeter and saltpeter powder to the imported goods..."
"Erlang thinks that this kind of military weapon will be as important as Chu and Zun in the future, or even more important!"
Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with the rise of cavalry, fodder such as squid has become one of the national tax items.
Even though there was a shortage of horses in the Northern Song Dynasty, they never dared to neglect the collection of cued crops every year.
But in the future, Zhao Xin knew that the world would definitely be dominated by firearms.
As the most important raw material for black powder, potassium nitrate's status will rise rapidly!
It is no exaggeration to say that soon, the Song Dynasty will probably list all saltpeter, saltpeter and saltpeter powder as prohibited items!
