On the third day of the second year of Yuanyou, Jiayin (the second day of the lunar calendar), the missing villain in Chongzheng Hall beat the small drum at the third hour of the Chen hour.

Zhao Xu sat upright on the imperial throne and looked at the thin figure outside the hall who was led by Guo Zhongxiao and followed suit.

From a distance, the "guardian god" who was in the past reform, Wang Anshi's right-hand man, and the radical faction among the reformists slowly walked into the hall and came to him.

"The Grand Secretary of the Zizheng Hall, the Chief Consultant, the Guardian, and the Imperial Guardian, gave him a purple goldfish bag. Huiqing, the founding marquis of Hanoi County, bowed his head and bowed again. He respectfully asked the Emperor for his blessings!"

Lu Huiqing's accent has a little trace of Fujian, and may also be mixed with some Hedong dialect tone.

Zhao Xu was condescending, and after thinking about this minister who finally gave up on his reign as the ruler, he felt a little sad.

So, he said to him: "Bachelor is exempt from gifts!"

He also ordered Feng Jing, who was waiting in the hall, to give him a seat and tea to the scholars!"

Feng Jing sang a promise and brought people to serve the chairs, tea and snacks that had been prepared early.

After getting up, Lu Huiqing thanked her, she sat on the chair, picked up the teacup, and took a big sip of tea. It was completely different from what others were doing in front of Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu looked at it and laughed, saying, "The bachelor is really as the emperor said, and he is a true Confucian scholar in the country!"

This is Zhao Xu's starting move now.

It’s always a royal card to make you lose your face!

It's like a flash to catch the big one!

Since Zhao Xu started using this move, he has never missed it.

Lu Huiqing was not surprised. His face showed a moment of stalemate. Finally, he put down the teacup and stood up and bowed: "The late emperor has a deep kindness. I should swear to die to repay the late emperor with loyalty to Your Majesty!"

If someone else says this, it may be just a polite person.

But Zhao Xu knew that Lu Huiqing said this basically means being sincere.

Because this is Lu Huiqing!

A person who never disdains to be artificial.

A person who is only loyal to his own heart.

A pure new party minister.

Even among the New Party’s ministers, Lu Huiqing is a standard outlier!

He almost never hides his claims and thoughts.

Just like last year, Lu Shengqing returned to the court to report his duties, and by the way he published Lu Huiqing's "County Law". The preface was full of open talks that killing people was a good thing.

He also took the saint's scriptures to defend his bloodthirsty.

Among the scholars and officials in the Song Dynasty, there were very few people who came straight to each other like Lu Huiqing. It can even be said that Lu Huiqing could not be copied.

You know, even Zhang Dun knows that even whitewashing himself and pretending to be himself.

Only the minister who is now in the hall.

Always consistent in words and deeds, spitting and nailing.

It is precisely because of this that when Zhao Xu was in power in his previous life, he hesitated and wandered for several months, and finally chose to let Lu Huiqing know.

It's really this person, it's too difficult to control.

Zhao Xu remembered that someone asked him at that time - how is Lu Huiqing?

And at that time, his answer was: "Huiqing is extremely fierce!"

What kind of evil method?

Lu Huiqing, who returned to the court at that time, made three suggestions to Zhao Xu.

First, comprehensively liquidate the old party!

Sima Guang and Lu Gong wrote, chasing the writings since their birth, and all other old ministers in the world were demoted to the Lingnan.

Second, fully restore the moral politics of the late emperor and completely abolish the evil politics of Yuanyou.

Third, the family and disciples of Yuanyou's old party ministers were completely imprisoned, and the old were appointed as officials in the imperial examination.

He not only said that, but also listed the specific implementation plan steps, and even thought about the details.

As long as Zhao Xu agreed, he could immediately start deploying a strategy of de-urbanization for the old party.

Compared with Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dun just wanted to have fun, let alone Zeng Bu, the guy with both ends of the snake's head!

Therefore, Zhao Xu finally gave up the idea of ​​resigning Lu Huiqing as the governor, and instead let him know the place and be the border commander.

It was really that Zhao Xu, who was still young and immature at that time, was worried that he might control more than this "extremely fierce" minister.

However, after experiencing the hardships of the previous life and studying abroad for ten years, Zhao Xu is now extremely confident.

He chuckled and said to Lu Huiqing: "If you are the one whom Huangkao introduced me to me, you are one of the few pure ministers in the country!"

Lu Huiqing hurriedly bowed again: "The late emperor loved me and praised me. I am really ashamed of me and dare not call myself pure, but I just have a loyal heart! I beg your Majesty to take a clear look!"

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "You are in Hedong, I have sent someone to investigate..."

"I appreciate the strategy I use!"

When Lu Huiqing heard this, she smiled and said in her heart: "Look, I'm not wrong!"

"The father and son are united in one's mind, which is a blessing in the world!"

The population of Western thieves is still too large.

He should be a little more harsh!

With the strict intention of a father to rebellious son, he will punish him decisively and resolutely to guide him to be good and return to the sage's doctrine of the mean benevolence and forgiveness.

As Emperor Taizong of Tang said to Wei Zheng: The barbarians fear power but do not have virtue!

Only swords can explain to them the principles of benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and forgiveness.

Zhao Xu just clicked until he stopped talking about this topic.

Because he is a kind-hearted emperor!

So, he began to ask Lu Huiqing about his views on state affairs.

Lu Huiqing inherited Han Jiang's great favor, so he praised Yuanyou's good governance since the new emperor ascended the throne, saying that Yuanyou's good governance was not just the inheritance and development of the virtues and great achievements of the late emperor.

It also demonstrates the filial piety of the official family and the role model for the world.

Just after a change of the subject, I began to mention the Xining reform.

In and out of the way, everyone began to advise Zhao Xu to continue to work hard, not to stick to worldly views, and not to be deceived by "villains" and "traitorous ministers".

We should be brave and bold and inherit the pioneering spirit and reform spirit of the reform of the former emperor Xining.

Speaking of the rise, Lu Huiqing completely forgot the occasion and habitually danced and spitted everywhere.

When Zhao Xu saw this, he quickly interrupted his endless talk: "I am deeply inspired by what you said..."

"It's just that time is still early..."

"I still need to go back to the palace and use some meals..."

"My dear, please go back to your house first. After a while, I will have a long talk with you!"

Lu Huiqing was slightly stunned, but still held a tribute and said, "I am rude..."

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "You are not rude... I am just a little hungry and want to go back and use some meals."

To be honest, Lu Huiqing is an excellent speaker.

Talking to him is not boring, but he will be emotional and unconsciously fall into excitement.

However, Zhao Xu is not a child.

He is an adult monarch who has been studying abroad for ten years in modern times.

So he knew that not only the old party’s path was a dead end, but the new party’s path was also a dead end.

Only by opening a new path can we find a way out for him, his country, and the people of the Song Dynasty.

And this path not only requires the cooperation and support of the new party.

The cooperation of the old party is also needed.

Otherwise, if you act rashly, the Song Dynasty will explode directly.

Maybe it is necessary to physically eliminate all opponents by fighting a civil war before you can move forward.

Zhao Xu was unwilling to do so unless he had no choice.

Although his modern study abroad experience told him that in fact, through war, the vested interest groups can be eliminated most effectively, and sufficient space and nutrition can be provided for the growth of the new class.

but……

He is the emperor!

A feudal autocratic emperor!

Even after studying abroad for ten years in modern times, my thoughts and vision have been clear.
To be continued...
