Compete for the Song Dynasty

"The queen is here!"

Zhao Xu was annoyed by this, just now someone came to say that the queen asked him to discuss Zhao Ji's full moon banquet, but he refused to go, why did he come to the queen herself?

The door of the Hall of Qinzheng opened from left to right, walked in step by step towards the queen, walked up to Zhao Xu and bowed down slowly.Zhao Xu suppressed his anger and said, "The queen is here, but what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, recently I saw that the Emperor is immersed in state affairs, and my concubines are worried that the Emperor Long Ti will come to visit."

"Sit down!" Zhao Xu picked up a memorial and looked at it. [

Seeing that the emperor was concentrating on instructing the memorial, he didn't say much, Xiang Empress just sat there quietly.

There was a person sitting beside him waiting to talk to him. No matter how calm Zhao Xu could be, he couldn't just leave the queen alone. He put down the booklet in his hand but didn't look at the queen and said, "The official family is fine. If there is nothing wrong, the queen should go back early." Bar."

The queen smiled slightly: "It's a matter, but it's not a big deal. In the past, every year at this time, the imperial court would have a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet to entertain the officials, but these years, the royal family rarely held any palace banquets except for the New Year celebration. And These years, the emperor has been worrying about the disputes among his officials, but those are all for political affairs. The concubine thought, whether this Xining reform is good or not, these officials must not quarrel like enemies. What's more, I haven't held any palace banquets or celebrations in the past two years, so the concubines want to take advantage of the opportunity of the prince's full moon, the emperor invites all the officials to sit down outside the court and talk to each other. How good would it be to compose poems and enhance your relationship?!"

Didn't he just want to hold a banquet for Zhao Ji, and he said so in circles.Queen Xiang finished all the words she had thought up along the way in one breath, and looked at Zhao Xu modestly with a smile.

Such a rational and well-founded reason was a bit beyond Zhao Xu's expectation.If you don't know the inside story, you will probably think how virtuous and virtuous this is, the queen of the world!But Zhao Xu understood that Queen Xiang wanted to establish some status for the new prince.

"I have eleven sons. Zhao Xu is the only one who can live past the age of eight and is still blind and dead. These eleven sons are still infants. Why bother to make such a big show?" Cold, I know what's going on with me the past few years.On the contrary, that beauty Chen is attractive, and it's rare for me to get excited like a chicken blood every now and then.But if there is no queen to intervene, maybe I will pamper her even more.

But now Zhao Xu couldn't tell whether the child was born to Chen Mei or the empress. Of course, the empress had never given birth, so it was normal to like the prince.But the empress is so biased, presumably the Concubine De will act like a baby and play "sex", pestering Zhao Xu for something more.

"The emperor is still young, with so many beauties in the harem, isn't he afraid that he won't have many children and grandchildren? It's just that the concubine thinks that because of the many princes who died in front of him, there should be some happy events here for auspiciousness." The queen is still With a pleasant smile, Zhao Xu was a little impatient.

This matter is both big and small. He just looked a little bit sad and the queen said: "Actually, this matter is not my idea. The empress dowager is more anxious than me. You also know that the empress dowager likes this eleventh prince very much." , She is so quiet and wants the emperor to host this wedding banquet, I am afraid that it will go against the Queen Mother's wishes."

Zhao Xu understood more when he heard it. Empress Dowager Gao didn't like Concubine De in the first place, and felt that she came from a humble background.But isn't Beauty Chen also from the same background?The only difference is that Chen Meiren belongs to the queen, and the queen is the daughter of the prime minister.But if the empress dowager was brought out, Zhao Xu had no choice but to agree.

When he was holding his breath, someone suddenly came to report: King Zhennan asked to see him.Zhao Xu thought to himself that he didn't want the queen to talk too much, it was just the right time for the king to come, it was just in time, so he hurriedly announced his audience.

Seeing that the queen hadn't gotten up to drive back to the palace, Zhao Xu eased his expression: "Queen, the king of Zhennan came to me to discuss important matters, why don't the queen go back to the palace for now?"

The queen nodded and got up and said, "What about the eleventh prince?"

"Isn't there still a few days left? Let the officials think about it. It just so happens that Zhennan King is here. Let me discuss with him and see what to do?!"

It is just an excuse for an emperor to serve a full moon wine to his son and discuss it with others. Zhao Xu didn't want to show it in his heart.Anyway, the queen mother has always had a bad impression of Wang Pang, and she is not afraid of more bad reviews.

"This... Otherwise, you should talk about it first when King Zhennan is here, so I can go back and have an answer with the queen mother." The queen seemed to be planning to leave without any results. Zhao Xu was really angry, and the harem Why are these girls more difficult than the other?You can be angry that the other party is the queen, and she is also pretending to be the queen mother.

When Wang Bang came to Qinzheng Hall, the emperor and empress were frozen there.Zhao Xu sat behind the Long Shuan and looked at the memorial without raising his head, while the author queen on the side of the book case was fiddling with the teacup and tureen in his hand without saying a word.

After seeing the emperor and queen, Zhao Xu gave him a seat.

"Brother Wang, what do you want to do with the official family?"

Before the king could speak, the queen coughed lightly.

"Uh, it just so happens that the officials have something to do with you!" Zhao Xu said again.

The atmosphere in the palace is not quite right, Wang Pang glanced at the queen, the queen was tilting her head to look at the emperor, what are these two couples doing?

"Do you have something to do? Tell me first!" Wang Pang smiled.

"That's right, you said that my eleventh prince is full moon, do you want to have a banquet for all the ministers?"

Wang Pang looked at Zhao Xu, and then at the queen. This is obviously a matter of your family, and the son is not mine.Shouldn't you be asking me if there's a drink or not?But looking at Zhao Xu's face, the queen was also staring at him at this time, and she immediately understood in her heart that it must be that Zhao Xu didn't want to show it off, but the queen wanted to show it off.

"Yes! Of course I want it!" Wang Pang said firmly.

"What?" Zhao Xu smiled at the queen as if he understood.

"Your Majesty, this baby's full moon wine is a big event, and the common people celebrate it, let alone our royal prince?! We should have a big banquet for all the officials, and the whole world should celebrate together."

Zhao Xu was so angry that Wang Pang was clearly against him.

Wang Pang knew in his heart that he had no right to ask about political affairs now.What's more, he has his own plans, and he will not be in front of Zhao Xu's eyes much in the future. He would rather offend Zhao Xu than offend the people around him, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"It's what the prince said, but the emperor is worried that this will appear royal extravagance." The queen said aside.

Zhao Xu cursed secretly, do you know how extravagant it is?But I'm worried that's not the case. How much money does it cost to entertain all the ministers? !

Wang Pang shook his head: "What do you call extravagance? We don't engage in extravagance and waste, and we don't hold singing and dancing parties. It is always appropriate for the emperor to invite his ministers to get together. We will not do things that waste people and money, and we will go to the Imperial Garden There are a few tables of banquets in the middle, and only the officials who enter the court and participate in political affairs can drink and chat, what a great thing."

The queen was a little proud: "That's what I said!"

Zhao Xu sighed, seeing that the banquet still had to be held!He turned his head and said to the queen: "Then please let Aifei go back to the queen mother's words. The official family will announce this matter tomorrow morning."

Only then did the queen stand up and Yingying bowed her goodbyes and left the Hall of Qinzheng.

Zhao Xu let out a heavy sigh of relief, turned his face and said: "Brother Wang, you have changed now! My winking with you, why don't you understand the official's intentions?!"

I understand, if I say no, you will be on my head.

You can't say that, Wang Pang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't understand, but I think you shouldn't be too stingy. I have been away for 14 years and you always said to entertain me, even if I don't participate in the court meeting, then Now my eyes are black and I don’t know anyone. It just so happens that I also have the glory of the prince, so I can sit around your royal banquet and see who is in the court now."

Wang Pang's words made Zhao Xu's words really mean: "Okay, okay, you are all reasonable, but I just think how can I, the emperor, be so tired?! You are so good at pinching and calculating, you can calculate it for me, I How many more years can I sit?!"

Zhao Xu was joking, but Wang Pang had the final say in his mind, rather than talking about it, he might as well recall or search for it.It is now the fifth year of Yuanfeng, and Zhao Xu died in the eighth year of Yuanfeng.Wang Pang himself was surprised by this calculation, Zhao Xu is in his early thirties now, unexpectedly he died young, it's a pity that his panacea does not exist at all, and even if it exists, Wang Pang doesn't want it now give him! [

These were all flashbacks, Wang Pang remembered hating Zhao Xu, but felt pitiful for him.

Seeing that Wang Pang frowned and spoke, Zhao Xu sighed: "Guess what I dreamed this morning? I actually dreamed that Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, told me to be my son. I also asked him if he did it." Which of my sons is still going to be my son. I'm afraid that when I go to bed and think about it, I won't be able to concentrate on sex."

It is interesting for Wang to listen to this. What is more method?Is it legal now?He looked at Zhao Xu and said with a smile: "You, don't think about it, your throne can make you die."

Zhao Xu snorted: "You know how to scare me with words, didn't the former emperor also die after sitting on the throne? He has been on the throne for four years!"

"Reporting to the emperor, Yintai Secretary Sun Gongshi and Bianhe Embankment Secretary Ti Jumianjun are eager to play!"

"Let him in!" Zhao Xu said when he heard the rush.

Two officials walked in one after the other. The person in the front was about 40 years old in the handsome official mansion, and an official in the green official uniform was behind.Just looking at the official uniform, you can tell that the person walking in front is Mr. Sun of the Yintai Division.During the Yuanfeng period, Zhao Xu changed the official uniform to purple for the third rank and above, vermilion for the fifth rank and above, green for the seventh rank and above, and cyan for the ninth rank and above.

The two of them paid homage to the emperor, and the promotion officer in green official uniform delivered the memorial and said at the same time: "Your Majesty, the Luokou River has swelled and collapsed, and the water is in dire straits. It will flow into Bianjing, please send a water supervisor as soon as possible."

Water and fire, this is an urgent matter, Zhao Xu also felt the urgency, and said in his mouth: "Who should I send?!"

"Your Majesty, is there a water supervisor in the court?"

"There is a water supervisor, but it is such an urgent and dangerous situation, and it is so close to Bianjing. If the water supervisor is not capable, the capital will be flooded. It is a pity that Hou Shuxian died too early. Today's court talks about water supervision. A real person can compare to him!"

Wang Bang suddenly thought of a person: "I do know a person who has studied with Mr. Hou for many years, and he is not far from the capital."

"who is it?"

"Does the emperor remember Cai Yuanchang?!"

"Cai Jing, is Cai Yuanchang? Oh yes, how could I have forgotten him. Hurry up and pass on my decree, Cai Jing will be appointed as the water envoy of the fourth rank, and he will be transferred to Luokou immediately."

Mr. Sun of the Yintai Division took the order to do it and took the promotion officer down to the hall.

Wang Pang asked: "Your Majesty, how many officials are there in Yintai Division surnamed Sun?"
