Song Menghua: At the beginning, ask to marry Sheng Minglan

He stood at the entrance of the hall, with his back to Qi Heng in the hall, even though the heat wave was raging outside, he didn't notice it.

This matter...how should I put it?

Blame him for his audacity?

Blame him for daring to stir up disputes in the court and make trouble behind the scenes?

He can't blame him at all!

It wasn't the Dongfu where he asked Han Qi to go, and it wasn't the location where he asked Han Qi to plot against Fu Bi. After all, he just had a keen insight and made full use of all the information he had.

Then amplify the effect of this information, making the situation move in the direction he wants step by step!

To put it bluntly.

He did nothing.

He just treats all the gentlemen in the court as pawns and manipulates them at will!

He made use of Zhang Fangping's status as the most important——

He also used Han Qi to take revenge on Fu Bi, plotting Dongfu's ambition——

Then use Xiao Qinyan's vision to rule the world——

In short.

Everyone's desire, everyone's heart, he has it at his fingertips.

"This is the real country as the chessboard, and all living beings as the chess pieces."

this moment.

Zhao Zhen has no doubt that if this Qi Yuan can be consistent and loyal, he will be the most outstanding ruler in the world in the Song Dynasty in the future!

……

"Yuan Ruo."

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

Zhao Zhen finally asked this question.

He couldn't see through it, so he could only ask.

Qi Heng was not surprised that he would be so direct.

Again.

He needs him.

Of course, he needed him too.

Simplest point.

Although the current situation in the court is in full swing, Xiao Qinyan seems to be in line with everyone's expectations.

But all these general trends and situations.

All need Zhao Zhen's nod.

If Zhao Zhen doesn't agree, Xiao Qinyan can't be the ruler of the world!

Because in this matter, no matter whether it is Zhang Fangping, Bao Zheng, Han Qi, or Qi Mu, they will firmly stand on Zhao Zhen's side.

Except for the adoptive prince.

Zhao Zhen's words still carry a lot of weight in the court affairs of appointing and dismissing ministers.

Based on their relationship as monarch and minister, perhaps even Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo would support Zhao Zhen.

So Qi Heng had to be honest with each other and convince him.

He lifted his feet and walked behind Zhao Zhen, slightly staggered half a body away from him, also looking at the stretching palace in front of him.

He said frankly——

"Officials."

"I don't know if you still remember what you said to me when I entered the palace for the first time?"

"You told me then."

"Change is difficult."

"You still said."

"When I became an official, I realized that many problems were clearly there, and we could all see them, but they just couldn't be solved."

Zhao Zhen thought for a while.

Of course he remembers.

At that time, it was Qi Heng who criticized the Chanyuan Alliance, valued Xi and increased currency, lost power and humiliated the country, and he even preached a lot about it.

But now.

He suddenly mentioned these again, what does it mean?

Or - what could be the point?

The answer is self-evident.

Qi Heng continued: "I really admire the officials who fought against all opinions and supported Fan Xiwen, Uncle Ouyang Yong and others to carry out reforms, which set off a mighty Qingli New Deal."

"I know too."

"That failure made the officials see the long-standing malpractices of the Song Dynasty. It has been a long-standing illness and it is difficult to cure it."

"So the officials can't help but feel disheartened."

"But--"

"I can not be reconciled."

"I'm not willing to watch the prosperous Song Dynasty being bullied repeatedly; I'm not willing to watch Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures there, but I can only watch!"

"I am even more unwilling to show off the power of the small country of Xixia Danwan in front of the officials; I am also unwilling to rebel all over the world and ignore the court!"

So far.

Zhao Zhen turned around in astonishment, and looked at the eighteen boys beside him.

Of course he has long known that he has an ideal, an ambition.

But he never thought about it.

He hadn't even taken the scientific examination, and he hadn't become an official yet, but he was already preparing for that day!

"Da Song is the official Song Dynasty. 々."

"But the Great Song is also the Great Song of the world."

"Many people think that it's because I'm young and frivolous that I can beat the Liao thief with one sentence."

"It's official."

"no."

"I've never just been angry."

"I have the courage to turn my ambition into reality."

"One day, I want the Great Song Dynasty to stand on top of the sky, the world will come to court, and the world will return!"

Zhao Zhen was suddenly moved.

——If, as he said, there really was such a day, how great would it be?

this moment.

He was even awakened by Qi Heng to his long-sleeping ambition.

He was also young, he was also passionate, and he also thought about accomplishing great achievements that Taizu and Emperor Taizong could not do.

But that was all in the past.

And it is precisely because he has worked hard that he knows how difficult it is.

So even though he stared at Qi Heng with scorching eyes, he revealed a lot of excitement and excitement.

But in the end, it turned into a deep sigh after all.

"Yuan Ruo, I am really pleased with your ambition."

"But you don't know."

"You don't know what kind of difficulties and obstacles you will face in doing this, and there are many crises."

"I'm not exaggerating at all to tell you."

"Change, reform."

"It's always been a small group of people to make enemies of the world."

"Back then, I monopolized the power, but I still couldn't do it."

"Now, how... how to do it?"

Qi Heng's expression remained unchanged.

expected thing.

Zhao Zhen is getting old, and at this stage, he only wants to maintain a stable life and have a son.

As for regaining Yanyun and horses stepping on the Yellow River, he is no longer interested.

He just bowed his hands seriously.

"I know it's hard."

"I also know that the reform of the law is tantamount to smashing the jobs of the scholar-bureaucrats in the world."

"But I'm still young."

"The officials can also protect me at least twenty."

"In the past 20 years, there have been Zhang Fangping and Wang Anshi inside, Di Hanchen outside, and the world's dignitaries."
