The sad thing continues to be sad.

After Zhao Shu returned to the capital, he not only neglected Zhao Zhen's daughters, but also forced other concubines out one after another and moved the place for his children to live in. Zheng Lang couldn't care about this, and he could not take care of it. He could only hold Zhao Zhen and a few descendants under his wings to protect their safety. He also took several princesses to Zhengzhou.

Almost all ministers remained silent this time.

What should I do if I put it in the capital? I can’t be angry.

This time, it took several years, and Zheng Lang was also worried that with the biggest show, Zhao Zhen’s descendants were daughters, Li Gui’s surname was Li, not Zhao, but what if Gao Taotao suspicion?

This danger will not disappear until Zhao Xu takes office.

May comes, and Si Niang finally passed away, very peacefully. When the aunt and second wife died, Zheng Lang had no descendants. Sanniang saw the descendants of the Zheng family, but she was still a little shocked. When Si Niang got into the hands of Gao Taotao promised that Li Gui's son would give the surname Zheng, so that the descendants of the Zheng family would have a real successor. Therefore, she died without any shock.

Another empress passed away, and Zheng Lang was very sad. This was the darkest moment in his life. Sanniang died in the seventh year of Jiayou, Zhao Zhen died in the eighth year, and Siniang died this year.

But most of the listeners are very happy.

Han Qi was happy. Si Niang was Zheng Lang's biological mother. This time, it had been three years since Dingyou. Without this ghost, he could let go and do something big. Although Sima Guang and others regretted it, they were mostly happy. Zheng Lang had too many mothers and regarded each mother as a biological mother. It was just a Dingyou. It became a constraint on Zheng Lang's career. There were also three mothers, but whether it was Wu Niang or Liu Niang or Qi Niang, who had an uncertain status and a cold background, they could count the edicts to seize the love at the right time.

It's better to die together.

Zhao Shu is back from Qiyu, and bigger scenes are about to take place.

Zheng Lang did not ask, but he did not care about it, and secretly summoned Zhou Yuan back from Shaanxi.

There are also people growing rice outside Zhengzhou City, but beans and sorghum. Li Gui took a few aunts to play in the sorghum field. Zheng Lang stood in front of the mourning shed and looked at Zhao Niannu again. A smile appeared on his face, and Zhao Niannu also smiled.

In the words of later generations, both of them are the kind of indifference. They are obviously unhappy in their hearts, and in order to comfort each other, they can barely smile every time they see them.

Zhou Yuan returned from Shaanxi in a simple manner.

The guard didn't know him and was about to go up and stop him. Zheng Lang walked over and asked the guard to retreat. He found a stone to sit down and said, "I have read your letter."

At this time, Feng Gao and others had the merit of fighting against each other, and had higher ranks and more powerful powers. They not only had the resources of the Song Dynasty, but also the resources of the Western Xia. They heard some inside stories about the Song Dynasty, and the five people were a little worried. If the monarch of this dynasty had no idea of ​​regaining the Western Xia, they would not use Zheng Lang. It was not necessarily clear that he died of old age in the Western Xia. It was not until this time that Zhou Yuan saw a terrible trend, one time and another, and he defected to the Western Xia, and was loyal to the Song Dynasty. But now these five people, especially Wei Yang and Lu Yi, have a high position in the Western Xia, and are back to the Song Dynasty. What can the Song Dynasty give them?

Thinking of this possibility, there was another vague dissatisfaction and concern in the secret letter of the five people. Zhou Yuan was worried and wrote a secret letter to Zheng Lang. Zheng Lang had no choice but to let Zhou Yuan go back to Zhengzhou to secretly speak, so he had to explain it clearly in person, and some of the letters were hard to say.

Zhou Yuan said: "Duke Zheng, you said they..."

"There should be no such possibility, but if our dynasty continues to sink, they will not have the chance to return, and anything can happen."

"I'm just worried about this."

"Don't worry, do you see the rows of buildings in the distance?"

"That is the workshop prepared by Mr. Zheng for His Highness the Princess."

"It's not entirely true, come and see," Zheng Lang took out some contracts and contracts. Zhou Yuan stared at it. The industry in Jiningguan was actually not. He distributed it to four princesses. This is also an open secret. However, not all of them were released. Only 50% of the contracts were distributed, and 50% were unknown.

“Isn’t it very strange?”

"The rumor is wrong?"

"Yes, I'll prepare it for the princesses. As for the other 50%, I plan to use it for other uses."

“Other use?”

"For example, establishing a charity school, helping the orphans and widows, and only allowing them to occupy 50% of the victims, has a supervisory role to prevent unfilial sons from appearing in later generations and destroying the industry. After all, once the country is established for a long time, if the descendants of the late emperor and later generations are not surprised, most of them will continue to become civilians." It is very sad to say that the imperial clan has moved from Zhao Zhen's lineage to Zhao Zongshi's lineage, and he is also a relative of the foreign country. The longer the time, the more he will be away from the core of power.

"At that time, everyone has different relationships and different education. With 50% of the contracts used to rescue disasters and poverty, there will be no situation where one person is the dominant person, quarrels and kills each other, and is known as the first emperor. However, when you mentioned this in your letter, I also think of the seriousness of the problem. Therefore, 10% of the contracts will be drawn from them and distributed to you six descendants." Fearing that Zhou Yuan was not clear, Zheng Lang said: "I am afraid of causing controversy, so I deliberately said that it is just some daily necessities, which is not very important. In fact, it is not. Once this workshop develops, there will be millions of profits in the next year. Even this year, its income will not be less than 200,000. But before they complete the task and return to the Song Dynasty, these contracts cannot be made public. As for the dividends, they can only send people to their children in secret."

"Duke Zheng, no, this is left to the late emperor and his princesses. How can we share this money?" Zhou Yuan said with a deep impression.

"The first one is that you work hard and make great contributions, and the second one is Wei Yang and the others. You have to wait for a few years. Being alone in the enemy country is extremely risky, so it is a reward." Zheng Lang said lightly. This is a nice saying. If not, Zheng Lang was worried that they would be shaken. If Xixia treats preferentially, it is impossible to reward them with tens of thousands of dollars a year. The rights will be similar, but this wealth is something that the Xixia people cannot give to them, and they are used to ensure the loyalty of the five people.

Zhou Yuan said, "Then I can't take mine."

"You six are one, one prosper and one is prosperous. If you are humiliated and one is humiliated, how can you be missed if you give them five? Get up and let us talk about the important things."

"Here."

"How is Yang Sila's body?"

"I died of serious illness." Zhou Yuan said lightly. He was not as long as Zheng Lang thought. Tubo and the Song Dynasty had reconciled for decades, so he was still concerned about the Western Xia.

"Diet?"

"Just just passed away."

Zheng Lang touched his snow-white hair and pondered.

After thinking for a while, he said, "You should immediately start pressing the scout to go to Hehuang."

"Does Zheng Gong want to deal with Tubo?"

"It's not complete, but we must be careful of changes."

"But we do not have the imperial edict from the Western Prefecture."

"Fortunately, the Xifu is Fu Bi and Zhang Sheng, just say it's what I mean. They will definitely allow it." Zheng Lang touched his chest and said. Fortunately, the Xifu has not been lost, otherwise the situation will be worse. Thinking of this, he suddenly said: "If the Prime Minister of the Xifu changes, you can write a letter to contact me."

"Will the rich guild change?"

"I don't know, I have to reserve a hand in everything."

"but……"

"I know your thoughts and the worries of Lu Yi and the others. I can assure you that four years may take less than four years. Major events will be settled. It was not the time to launch troops to Xixia, but at that time, I will definitely enter the court."

"Why do you take four years?" Zhou Yuan was still puzzled. Even Ding You didn't need four years, and said again: "Is it the fifth old lady?"

"You crow's mouth!" Zheng Lang said unhappily, and said, "It's not Wu Niang, the country is big and the family is small. If it's for the country, even if it's a hundred days, I can let the court take the love out. But you have heard of the situation in the court at this time. You can only bring shame to yourself when you come out. For example, the rich man must come out at the right time. This time may take four years. Maybe not four years, three years are enough."

Four years are not short, nor are they long. Zhou Yuan said: "That's good, we are also worried that Mr. Zheng will be depressed."

"No, before the late emperor died, I asked me to be optimistic about this country, and when I died, I would send a dream to me. How could I be depressed?" This is why Zheng Lang asked Zhou Yuan to come in person. I could only say in person that I could not fall into any writing or ink, otherwise I would give people a message.

As for what arrangements Zheng Lang had, Zhou Yuan didn't dare to ask. This trip also made him very satisfied. He immediately left Zhengzhou and returned to Shaanxi. His reply also made Lu Yi and the others feel very pleased, and then waited and waited together...

Zheng Lang almost disappeared and continued in the court.

Han Qi started the second step, a critical step.

This step is related to the fundamental reason for the establishment of a country, that is, etiquette. Why Confucius and Confucianism are the only one? This etiquette. It was because of the collapse of the Zhou Dynasty, the wars in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the people were in trouble. Therefore, Confucius practiced etiquette. Etiquette could operate normally and the normal principles would be normal, and the country would not be easily divided. Of course, if the king and the minister were unjust, no matter how good the etiquette was, it would not prevent the country from destruction.

Han Qi put himself above this ceremony.

First, Zhao Shu got sick from time to time, and the imperial front and back halls watched the court meeting and listened to the affairs. The front halls and the two palaces entered the report. After retreating from the court, the two palaces returned to the court and returned to the small hall of the inner east gate to report to Empress Dowager Cao. The jade seal was also held by Empress Dowager Cao. Of course, the large edict must be covered with a jade seal before it can take effect.

Step by step, Zhao Shu went to pray for rain, and Empress Dowager Cao had to hand over the jade seal to Zhao Shu for temporary control. This was an opportunity.

Zhao Shu asked for the rain to return, but did not immediately return the jade seal to Empress Dowager Cao. Han Qi asked Zhao Shu to sit upright and get ten memorials, asking Zhao Shu to review them. The Secretary of the Central Committee would handle countless memorials every day. It was easy to pick ten things that were easier to solve. Zhao Shu looked at it, quickly reviewed them, and put them on the jade seal. Han Qi then handed over these ten official duties to the Empress Dowager Pavilion.

Empress Dowager Cao was confused again at this time. In fact, everything has its own two sides. It can be said that it is good and it is bad. No one has thought about it before, but now it is different. Zheng Lang has been studying this thing all day long and wrote a lot of words. Empress Dowager Cao has also read it. Before the incident, she forgot what Zheng Lang said. It is not that she doesn't want to pick on it, but that she didn't expect the crisis to come. She even thought of another sentence from Zheng Lang, just discussing the matter. Just discussing the matter. These ten official letters were handled well. They looked at them one by one, and said first: "Okay, accurate."

Han Qi got what he wanted, and the emperor was a qualified emperor, congratulating with him. He said to Zeng Gongliang and others: "I asked for retreat from Zhaoling (Zhao Zhen's coffin was buried), and I was worried that the emperor's dragon body had not yet calmed down and delayed to this day. The emperor was never tired of listening, and this was indeed a great celebration in the world. I should ask Empress Dowager Bai in front of the curtain, and ask for a township and county. Xu Gong and others agreed."

If others had said it, it would be messy, but everyone's reaction was very disappointed. When they heard him say please leave, they looked at him curiously with big eyes. Some of them almost said, "Han Gong, are you really going back or fake retreat? If you really retreat, I will go home and prepare to drink to say goodbye to you in Changting. Zeng Gongliang said falsely: "Han Gong, it's not good to do this."

Han Qi scratched her a little boring. These people have become sluts and are not easy to fool, but someone is easy to fool and said, "I'll go to the Queen Mother and please leave."

Fu Bi blinked his big eyes and didn't say anything, but said, "Go quickly, I'll wait for you here."

Wei Zhen waited, and they left one by one. They had to give Han Gong a face. Could it be that they had to resist here and let Han Qi leave the court?

Han Qi had no choice but to act hastily and ask Empress Dowager Cao to retreat. No matter how stupid the Empress Dowager Cao was, he could hear Han Qi's voice and asked his adopted son to go out to pray for rain. Long live the people and lose the first step. Empress Dowager Cao was also discouraged and said, "My husband and wife can retreat, but I should live in the deep palace. But I am here every day and I can't help myself."

Han Qi was overjoyed and began to list the deeds of the previous Empress Dowager Ma, Empress Dowager Deng and others, praising the Queen Mother if he was restored today and Ma Deng would not be able to congratulate him again. He said a lot of truths, and Empress Dowager Cao was impatient and stood up to leave.

Han Qi was anxious because there was one thing. Ding Weiquan was extremely powerful back then, at least he had a higher prestige in the court now. When he went to report the matter, Liu E left behind the curtain without saying a word, becoming a laughing stock, and kicking off the stage.

It seems that this old lady Cao also wants to do this, so he did what Ding Wei dared not do and shouted to Yiluansi: "Removing the curtain!"

As the curtain fell, you could see the corner of Empress Dowager Cao's clothes floating behind the screen.

To be honest, Han Qi's move could be destroyed by the nine clans in that dynasty.

Fan Zhongyan and Kong Daofu made a fuss like that, but they were just a forceful advice. Do they dare to force the crown of the queen to Guo again, or make a popular metaphor. The parents want to fake divorce for the sake of the house and the objection of being a son can only persuade them, but can they lock their parents in a small dark room and prevent them from going out for divorce procedures?

If even this ceremony cannot be followed, then the operation of the entire feudal system cannot be maintained.

Empress Dowager Cao stood behind the screen and was stunned. She could not have imagined that Han Qi would dare to do this ruthless thing. She dared to do it. That was the emperor. Who was Han Qi? Even if she was the prime minister, she was also a minister and a servant of the Zhao family!

Han Qi removed the curtain, evacuated, and could no longer put it down, and left with satisfaction. Seeing that Empress Dowager Cao was weak, he could not eat the ministers, but he could eat Empress Dowager Cao.

After being determined, Empress Dowager Cao listened to Han Qi's footsteps and cried loudly. It was not counted for her son to bully her, but also asked a prime minister to bully her. What should I do now? Either put down the curtain again, then I have to convict Han Qi. Convicting Han Qi will cause endless troubles. Does she have the ability to deal with this trouble?

After returning to the bedroom, she cried all night, thinking about it, and finally returned the power. However, she finally woke up this time and did not go to rule the country from behind the curtain, but held the jade seal in her hand and did not return it to Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu listens to politics.

But more people can't stand it.

Everyone agreed to the return of power to the emperor, but it depends on how to repay it. Now the emperor is sick from time to time, not only sick, but also gets crazy from time to time. It is not scary to be sick, but only the terrible is scary. And he cannot return power like this. Then a minister forced the order to remove the curtain!

Can I remove the curtain today, what can I do tomorrow?

However, Han Qi was famous outside, and everyone thought that Han Qi was instructed by Zhao Shu, otherwise Han Qi would not have been so bold. No one knew whether Zhao Shu had instructed him. So he sent his anger to Zhao Shu.

Someone finally couldn't help but stand up, Fu Bi.

He is a good old man and cherishes his feathers. Besides, his family is very rich, so rich. After Fu Bi retired, he bought a house in Luoyang, which is known as the number one luxury house in Luoyang, and is likely to have a value of one million yuan. But this money is definitely not obtained by taking bribes. Fu Bi cannot do anything about embezzlement and bribery, and there is no need to do it, because they have that property.

This time I finally couldn't stand it.
To be continued...
