Zhao Ding shook his head again: "My father naturally understands this truth, but if I don't tell you, these Henan people and Jiangnan people will naturally find other people to tell you... Living among them, I can feel that most of the officials and people below,

They all don’t want to fight.”

"But the subordinates still can't disobey the officials." Zhao Fen disagreed. "The officials have their own military power, and their confidants are all over the government and the public... Isn't dad also considered a confidant of the officials? Moreover, the Second Sage is in the north, and the Northern Expedition is the most important thing.

.In such a situation, anyone who dares to make peace may not want to imitate Liu Guangshi or Du Chong."

Zhao Ding slowly shook his head: "What you said is probably right...but there is only one thing, and that is that the official Northern Expedition is definitely not for the Second Saint."

"Who doesn't know about this?" As the sun gradually set, Zhao Fen smiled again and again while holding a bowl of mutton noodles. "If the Jin people really send the Second Saint back, the official family will have a headache. My son is just saying that he is righteous...

Just these words are enough to make the scholar-bureaucrats in the world speechless and they can only stop the Northern Expedition! Not to mention that the officials have a large imperial army and many courtiers in their hands?"

"That's right." Zhao Ding blurted out, but frowned again. "But are the officials' attitude towards the Second Saint fully known to the people?"

"It's natural." Zhao Fen quickly put down the mutton noodles and explained again. "We have cleaned up the accumulated shortcomings before, not to mention that there are rumors about various incidents? At least the Imperial Academy has already tacitly understood it."

"So how do the people...or the Imperial Academy talk about officials?" Zhao Ding answered seriously. "Are there any inappropriate words?"

"There are some inappropriate words. In the past, they were mostly used to pursue excessive kindness. However, due to the official return to the old capital and the prestige of Yaoshan's great victory, there are always more excuses and praises... As for the Second Sage,

If the words filial piety and brotherhood are involved, there will be less discussion."

"Except for some of the most ridiculous ones, do you remember those inappropriate words?" Zhao Ding looked around and saw that it was dinner time in the evening, and there were boats and boats on the Cai River, and there was constant noise from all sides, including the stall owners behind him and the people next door.

The classmates at the table couldn't hear clearly what they were saying, so they couldn't help but ask a few more questions. "It's not just about filial piety."

"Of course I remember." Zhao Fen also looked around and took the opportunity to hold up the bowl and smiled. "My son said a few interesting things... Some people say that officials know their mistakes and do not correct them, and they like to show off their face..." Zhao Jiu from Cangzhou

'That's proof!"

"what for?"

"It is said that when the officials used this painting to seal the Huai River, they lost their memory and misremembered their place of origin, and remembered the Zhao family in Zhuozhou as Cangzhou... This is okay, after all, they lost their memory... But later they gradually remembered the old things, but they didn't wake up.

, but still uses it again and again, which shows that he is a face-loving person who is unwilling to repent."

"As for the seal, it's inherently weird. And the seal of 'Cangzhou Zhao Jiu' is already familiar to both countries. Why change it? How do you know it wasn't done intentionally by the officials?"

"Actually, there is also this saying... It is said that the officials disliked the two saints and abandoned the country, and were ashamed to be the Zhao family of Zhuozhou. They deliberately changed it to show that it was completely different from the two saints."

"This is somewhat interesting. The court has also speculated like this... Is there anything else?"

"Some... say that officials are uneducated and have no skills... 'There is nothing to fear from destiny' is the clear proof!"

"Destiny can also refer to changes in the sky. It's the same idea. It doesn't matter... Do the officials really say that they, the emperor, are not worthy of fear? Some of the words are just fallacies, not worth mentioning! You must know that the officials themselves are a hedonistic prince. If he is not

Faced with great changes, why have you ever thought about becoming an official, and why are you still studying about destiny and destiny?"

"That's exactly what it means."

"Any more?"

"It is said that the officials secretly admire the layman Yi'an..."

"That's nonsense! Master Yi An is almost fifty, and about the same age as the Queen Mother. How can he come up with such ridiculous words... At most, the officials secretly admire Master Yi's poetry talent."

"Those who understand the truth will naturally understand, but dad also needs to know that there is no one in this city who likes to point out the royal family's secrets and talk about these gossips, and he can't stop it."

"That's true...what else?"

"It is said that officials are talented, but they are frivolous, and when they are depressed, they are a bit cruel, and in some things, they are quite selfish and unscrupulous... So, in fact, they are very similar to the Supreme Taojun Emperor!

"

Zhao Ding suddenly fell silent, and then nodded after a long while: "It does look like it!"

This time, Zhao Fen became angry on behalf of the officials: "If you put it this way, why is one the king who destroyed the country and the other the king who revived it?"

"Because the officials saw with their own eyes that the whole country was displaced, that the city was empty, and that blood flowed into rivers, they basically set a bottom line for themselves!" Zhao Ding sat with his hands tied and looked at each other seriously. "As for the emperor, his power is boundless.

, the most important thing is not how to be wise and powerful, but how to keep the bottom line and not act recklessly... If you look at the officials, they are talented but know how to restrain them; they are frivolous but know how to hide themselves; when they are depressed, they kill people only during the war.

Come and kill; even those who criticized Chengyou in the past, after Chen Dong's incident, will never harm their lives now; and when the politics of the DPRK and China encounter resistance, the officials can persuade and do what they can.

, I am not good at censoring the party or being involved; as for the size of the harem and the expenses in the palace, it is enough to shame and kill countless emperors...and these are the bottom lines."

"What dad said does make some sense."

"Not only does it make some sense, but as a father, I think about it, but I feel that the bottom line of the official family is three points higher than that of the so-called wise kings in the history books!" Zhao Ding became even more emotional.

"So, wouldn't it be rare for an official to have a saintly king?"

"What do you think?" Zhao Ding suddenly glared at the other party. "If it weren't for the Holy Lord in the court, as a father, I, who have been the official of Kaifeng Prefecture for more than ten years, how could I do it to save my father-in-law?! If the official family is not the Holy Lord,

You, I am just like the Supreme Taoist Lord and the Emperor, so who am I? Which one of the six thieves is there?"

Zhao Fen lost his voice on the spot, and the stall owner behind Zhao Ding who was about to deliver some side dishes was even more frightened. He quickly lowered his head and pretended not to hear anything, and then secretly replaced the braised haggis with clean vegetables before coming over.

But Zhao Ding remained silent and just lowered his head to eat the mutton.

After the meal was over, Mr. Zhao rarely lost his interest in mentioning it. The next day, the provincial minister went to the palace to meet the saint and presented the "Tokyo Dream Record" to his old friend. In this regard, Mr. Zhao's family was delighted.

Zhibao personally collected the manuscript and promised to publish it. However, he refused to reward Meng Yue with an official position for presenting the book on the grounds that his writing was not enough to govern the country. However, at Zhao Ding's request, he allowed the province to use Meng Yue's previous

Based on his official position, it is just a slight dispatch.

However, although the Zhao official family was reluctant to give Meng Yuanlao an official position, they still used his book with a shameful face. It was known to everyone that since the official family obtained "Tokyo Menghua Lu", they used this book as a basis.

Look for food everywhere.

Just like that, two days later, as the officers from Huaidong came to the capital, martial arts was reopened... Yes, I must say one more thing here, the Zhao Guan family is indeed an ignorant person. The Great Song Dynasty originally

There is a systematic martial arts, but the effect is not good... But no matter what, this is not the time to care about these things, because on the day when the martial arts reopened, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, Wu Lin Da Zanmo, came to Tokyo

city.

Let us also say that this envoy of the Jin Kingdom named Wu Linda served as an envoy between Jin and Liao in his early years, and then between Song and Jin several times. He was considered the most professional and heavyweight envoy of the Jin Kingdom... Therefore, he became the first envoy of the Jin Dynasty.

When he arrived, he immediately attracted the attention of the government and the public. From the noble ministers to the traffickers and soldiers, there was endless discussion.

As expected, Wulin Dazanmo "lived up to expectations", and when he came up, he made it clear in the capital and Privy Council summons that the Jin State intended to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty while maintaining the status quo, thus quelling the war that had lasted for more than six years.

Even though everyone had expected it, Jin Guo's initiative to make peace still shocked both the government and the opposition.

After all, according to the clear rules of the Zhao Guan family, no one in the Zhao and Song Dynasties is allowed to take the initiative to propose peace... Whoever makes peace will be killed!
