Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1342 State affairs and family affairs
There was a hint of displeasure in Han's eyes, but he turned sideways to cover it up well, but Zhao Jiong looked at his aunt more, as if he was dissatisfied, but more hopeful.

Zhu Lian shook her head helplessly. A few days ago she occasionally felt cold and had to lie in bed for more than ten days before gradually getting better. She felt that her health was getting worse and worse. She didn't know how Wang Xiu was doing in Kaifeng when he was in charge of military affairs.When a person reaches middle age, he feels more and more uncomfortable in his body.

How could she not understand Zhao Roujia's meaning, as long as her daughter doesn't make a big fuss, she really doesn't have the energy to bother with these little things, anyway, if you dig out Wuzhishan, just toss and toss as you please, I really hope What Wang Xiu said before leaving may not happen.

Zhao Roujia's thoughts were surging, but her heart flew to Funing Hall, and she planned to leave quickly and discuss with Zhao Chen.

"You only see the unparalleled power and power of the court, but you have never seen the hard work of the prince. There are no details in the court..." Zhu Lian sighed softly, and wanted to speak for Wang Xiu. It is also her job to resolve Zhao Roujia's resentment.

"Naturally, all the gentlemen are working hard, and major events in the world cannot be attributed to one person." Zhao Roujia was unhappy, and subconsciously refuted Zhu Lian.In all fairness, she was in trouble with Wang Xiu everywhere, and deep down in her heart, she was quite upset with Wang Xiu, but she really couldn't bear Wang Xiu's arbitrariness. It should be the suppression of the royal power, and more importantly, her relationship with Zhu Lian , It's really a shame for the royal family.

"Do you remember the eleventh day of February in the second year of Jingkang?" Zhu Lian said calmly.

Zhao Roujia's pretty face changed slightly, she was silent for a while, and said hesitantly: "It's a great shame, of course I know."

"The sage doesn't know. He heard the officials shouting 'people save me' in the car that day, but no one dared to do it. I think the court has never lost its virtue. Millions of soldiers only know how to protect themselves, and no one dares to serve the king. But I know that there are people who will give up their lives to serve the king." Zhu Lian seemed to recall the past, his eyes were particularly gentle.

"At that time, the prince was the leader, and it was his duty to serve the king to rescue him." Zhao Roujia's face was very unnatural, everyone understood that in the situation at that time, so many powerful people waited and watched, only Wang Xiu led the army to serve the king, even Zhao Gou also hid aside.

"He's the only one here!" Zhu Lian's tone was particularly flat, and an imperceptible blush flashed across her cheeks.

"If there is no prince, the ministers and concubines really dare not imagine the City of the Five Kingdoms." The Han family is very grateful for the favor of Wang Xiu's reincarnation. Although she has not experienced it, it does not prevent her from feeling deeply in her heart.

"Mother, grandson also feels the kindness of the prince." Zhao Jiong said unexpectedly.

Zhu Lian was very satisfied with Zhao Jiong's attitude. His grandson's talent was astonishing. Even Wang Xiu deliberately strengthened the emperor's decision-making power instead of continuing to flaunt the dual system.

According to Wang Xiu, the balance between imperial power and ministerial power has been reached now, and overcorrection will inevitably lead to disaster. As much as an era can bear, let it bear as much. If the imperial power continues to be weakened, the world may be in chaos in decades.

The current internal and external dynasties check and balance each other, the emperor cannot follow his will, and the ministers can use their hands and feet. It has been enough for 300 years.

"The prince is busy with state affairs. Originally, he only needs to be good at remote control, but he still works tirelessly, which is enough to set an example for a minister." Zhao Jiong said again.

Zhu Lian looked at Zhao Jiong with relief, and said in a gentle voice: "The prince has really grown up, and my husband must be very pleased to know the prince's heart."

Zhao Roujia gritted her teeth, and glared at Zhao Jiong fiercely. This boy pretended to help her, but he didn't help her at all. It seemed that he had to find time to teach him a lesson, and let him know that he was the son of the Zhao family.

Zhao Jiong is a little ghost, seeing his aunt's face is not good, so he can only smile awkwardly, and said: "It's just that the prince should take a break from conquering the captives."

Everyone who said this was surprised, it didn't look like what a child said, it was clear that there was no reward, so I could only ask the king to tell his old man to return to his hometown.

Zhao Roujia stared at Zhao Jiong, and smiled approvingly. The kid still has a conscience, and he didn't let her suffer in vain.

Zhu Lian's color changed a little. Zhao Jiong's thinking is not wrong for the monarch, and it can even be said to be superior. The British monarchs of the past are nothing but this, but they should not be used on Wang Xiu. He said tactfully: "The prince is young, There are some truths that I don’t understand, there are only a few people who know how to do things, and if you look at it for a hundred years, it will be a great good, and it will not do any harm to the descendants of officials.”

"Prince, build a naval force and expand the sea. The power of all nations contributes to the interests of China, and China makes the country strong and the people rich. It is also obvious to all these years that people know etiquette when they have food and clothing. This is where the gentleman is wise.”

"Human nature is full of desires, internal desires to supplement externally, do not hurt the vitality of China, whoever scolds the government and the public, who is not the one who benefits a lot. What is a gentleman, who benefits hundreds of millions of people, can be called a gentleman. Those who profit for hundreds of millions of people are called hypocrites, and villains are also despised."

"The prince is also right. Mr. Xianggong has worked hard for the court for 20 years, so he should rest! This is also his wish, so don't worry."

Zhao Roujia's eyes widened, she looked at Zhu Lian with dissatisfaction, and defended Wang Xiu nakedly, but she was surprised that Wang Xiu had the intention of suing her old age. As Zhu Lian's identity, she would never lie. Zhu Lian's trust.

You must know that the two time periods are the most dangerous. First of all, it has already passed. Wang Xiu left and went directly north. It was a false alarm. How did Taizu win the country?Now, the attention of the interested people has shifted to returning to the court in victory, and entering the city with a large army with the prestige of defeating gold, I am afraid it is the time for abdication.

Han's thinking is much simpler. If Wang Xiu can really retire, it will be a good thing for the officials, and maybe her health will gradually improve.However, if her son can take the throne directly, she is the empress dowager, and her status is much more stable than that of the empress.

Zhao Jiong was in a daze for a while, and said to himself: "This is the best way. If you want to say that wantonly attacking the captives is to restore the homeland, it is also to take advantage of the captives."

"I'm just fighting for the interests of the people all day long, and I don't want to learn the benefits of benevolence." Zhao Roujia muttered dissatisfiedly.

Zhu Lian ignored Zhao Roujia, and said with a smile: "Prince, the prince will take the power of China's eternal national destiny. The Northern Expedition is not only to expel the Jurchens, but to cover the grasslands in the north, merge the Western Regions in the west, establish communication, transform the barbarians into the summer, and consolidate the defenses." , so that the prince will no longer be troubled by Beisai, and let him rule the world."

Zhao Jiong's eyes lit up when he thought of the battle to open up the land bridge in the south, and the imperial court's territory stretched thousands of miles south, and he was a little excited for no reason.

"The prince likes to study, so that he can govern the world well in the future. Liu Shanchang will come to Beijing soon, so he must study hard." Han looked at her son with a smile. Speaking of Zhao Jiong, he is the figure that scholars put their hopes on. With the final execution power of the state affairs alone, his son may not be unable to become a generation of British lords.
