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

But being so young, and being able to say things like 'everything from ancient to modern times is just a joke', it can be seen that although he is full of vigor, he is by no means blind.

Zhao Zhen is very satisfied.

He suddenly knew that the young man in front of him was exactly the person he needed.

at the same time.

Qi Heng was also looking at him.

This year, Zhao Zhen was less than 50 years old.

He was emaciated, and his complexion was not very good, which may be related to his serious illness a few years ago.

But it also made him look extra gentle.

Not only does he not have the arrogance of an emperor, but he also does not feel any unscrupulous aggression, as if he is just an elder, approachable.

……

Zhao Zhen asked him with a smile.

"Do you know why you were called into the palace?"

Qi Heng shook his head.

He pondered slightly, put the brush in his hand on the inkstone, and then he looked at Qi Heng seriously.

"On the one hand, I want to see the Wenqu star who was born in the Great Song Dynasty. I am also a person who loves words."

"Another aspect."

"Your mother was raised in the palace since she was a child, and she has been with me since she was a child. I can also be regarded as your uncle."

"As an elder, I'm glad to hear that you are so talented."

"But I heard you talking nonsense in Fan Lou again, so I couldn't help but mention a few words about you."

"Sometimes, you have to use your brain before you speak, how can you just talk casually?"

"It's like the Chanyuan alliance."

"That was obviously the first emperor's personal conquest, and he defeated the Liao Kingdom steadily. In the end, he could only negotiate peace with the city. How did it become a shameful thing in your mouth?"

"Yes, I, Da Song, promised the annual coins."

"But it's not worth it to exchange a little wealth for the peace of the world and the well-being of the people?"

Qi Heng didn't respond, as if he was being humble and receptive.

Zhao Zhen continued to speak.

"Another example is Li Yuanhao."

"At that time, I was defeated and my national strength was insufficient. I gave the thief an opportunity to take advantage of it. This was not a crime of war in the first place. Why are you complaining?"

"Besides, Li Yuanhao is also a hero of the times."

"When you meet such a hero, you can only talk about timing and luck, what can you do?"

"The last is this heavy Xizeng coin."

"Do you know?"

"At that time, our Dynasty and Xixia had been fighting for years, and the Liao Kingdom took the opportunity to threaten them. If we don't give them some benefits, will we have to suffer from the enemy?"

"In the past two years, the Liao Kingdom and Xixia have repeatedly fought. Isn't it because of the emphasis on increasing coins to make them split?"

"How can you turn a blind eye to all these benefits?"

"Could it be that the land that must be fought is lost and the people are displaced, is this the prestige of my dynasty?"

His tone was calm.

No accusations, much less reprimands.

It's just breaking apart these truths, crushing them, and analyzing them for Qi Heng.

Just like the elders teach the younger ones.

What can Qi Heng say?

This kind of thing was originally unclear.

As the saying goes, if you look horizontally into a ridge and from a side into a peak, if you stand at different angles and standpoints, the reason you can see is naturally different.

In his view, it was all a loss of power and humiliation to the country.

But in Zhao Zhen's view, every matter and every decision is a correct decision based on the actual situation.

Can't argue at all.

So he still didn't speak.

Zhao Zhen waited, thinking that Qi Heng had listened to all these words, he smiled sincerely.

In any case, it is always a good thing to have such a talent and be able to listen to the truth.

But I didn't expect-

Qi Heng asked him suddenly.

"But the officials, how could the Liao Kingdom force the late emperor to conquest by himself?"

"Li Yuanhao is just a vassal of the Song Dynasty, how dare he take advantage of the chaos to break the ground?"

"Chongxi increases the currency...how dare the Liao Kingdom threaten the Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Zhen was startled, speechless.

Immediately, he waved his hand in displeasure.

"I know what you're trying to say!"

"Da Song does have a problem."

"If not, why did I support Fan Xiwen and Uncle Ouyang Yong in their attempt to change?"

"However, it is difficult for a young man like you to understand the change?"

Fan Xiwen is Fan Zhongyan.

Obviously, Zhao Zhen would not teach Qi Heng a detailed lesson on the Qingli New Deal.

If we really talk about it...in a few days and nights, we can't finish it.

He sighed somewhat dispiritedly.

"Yuan Ruo, when you become an official, you will understand."

"A lot of times, a lot of problems are clearly there, you can see them, but you just can't solve them."

"You are young……"

After hearing this, Qi Heng lost interest in the following words.

This is completely taking him as a noob.

But he really can't help it.

In this world, he is just a young man who has never done anything.

"okay."

"Let's talk about right now..."

"I called you today, and there is one more..."

Zhao Zhengang adjusted his mood.

Outside the main hall, Chen Youyu's voice suddenly came.

"Report to the officials."

"Master Bao, Kaifeng Mansion, please see me."

……

Master Bao!

Qi Heng cheered up instantly.

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then frowned tightly, obviously a little annoyed, and really didn't want to see him.

But for some reason, as his eyes turned around Qi Heng, his brows slowly relaxed.

"pass."

soon.

An old man with a broad body and a fat body, about sixty years old, walked slowly.

He is not the black official uniform in his impression, but the red official uniform above the fifth rank of the Song Dynasty and below the third rank.

He was not as dark as he thought, at least not as dark as Wang Anshi.

But his expression is solemn, with his own majesty, and he is an upright person at first glance.

"Sir Bao Zheng, see the official family."

Bao Zheng bowed and erected the jade board.

Zhao Zhen smiled.

Qi Heng suddenly discovered that the moment Bao Zheng came in, this easy-going official seemed to be a different person.

Even though his smile is still gentle, it just makes him feel a lot more majestic out of thin air!

It's like talking to him just now, just an elder.

At this time, it was the official family of the Song Dynasty, the emperor Zhao Zhen.

"Be flat."

Paused.

Noticing that Bao Zheng's eyes were on Qi Heng, Zhao Zhen didn't explain.

He asked casually.
