When I met Zhan Daxia in front of the Shangqing Palace, Zhan Zhao still looked extremely handsome and straight.

When he saw Wang Rong, he couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Why are you... going to come here at this time?"

The reason is that Big Cat thinks that the Great Demon should be captured and besieged in the middle hall now?

"Where will I ask you to approve me? I will quickly inform the officials and say that Wang Yun is asking for a meeting." Wang Yun urged.

Zhan Zhao frowned and said, "Your Majesty has not recovered from illness and is in poor spirits. He is taking a nap..."

"Don't wear the spy's skin and pretend to be an imperial physician to express your opinion. I am a court official in the Privy Council. When you see that the official family has something to do, please keep talking." Wang Xu waved his hand and urged him again.

Zhan Zhao had no choice but to go in for a while and came out and said, "Your Majesty let you go in."

Wang Rong stepped in but took two steps back and said maliciously: "You wouldn't have you followed the orders of the Queen to catch me for tea, right?"

Zhan Zhao was embarrassed: "Zhan... just listen to Your Majesty's orders. If Your Majesty cannot give orders, you will listen to Mr. Han Qi. If Mr. Han Qi is not here, you will follow the orders of your father, Mr. Wang Anshi."

"That's good. It depends on your principles and laws. My little old man is relieved. Remember, the only reason why you have not been harmonious with me over the years is these two characteristics. Don't lose them." Wang Rong praised and threatened Zhan Zhao before entering.

Zhan Zhao was depressed. Listening to him about principles and laws is the biggest joke in the Song Dynasty, okay...

In the Shangqing Palace, Lao Zhao was awake on the rattan lounge chair and was in a bad mood. Compared to the last time he met, he seemed to have gained weight.

There were some supplements from the imperial physician bureau on the table in front of the table, but I never touched it. Judging from the worried look of the dad, Lao Chen, the emperor probably hadn't eaten for a long time.

Wang Rong thought about the braised chicken and sour soup pork feet at home, and he felt a little saliva in his mouth.

Old Zhao knew this boy listlessly, and waved his hand and said, "I have no appetite. Xiao Wangqing's family seems to be hungry, so eat these."

"Well, I didn't intend to peek at the food of the official family. In fact, for our aspiring people, these are external things and do not value them at all. This is because I haven't seen the official family for more than a year and I'm worried about the health of the official family, so I came to visit him." Wang Rong looked unmoved by the food.

Lao Zhao said angrily: "I don't know why, you always have a naughty heart like a child. I also like to see your style of talking with your eyes open, but I can't raise the thought of sucking you."

Wang Rong was depressed, and he decided to "talk nonsense with his eyes open" again?

"The great official is wise, and my little bit of dirty thoughts will still be seen through by the official. If you are the official, you will eat it, so as not to waste it. Alas..."

After Lao Zhao signaled Wang Rong, General Manager Chen had to stop talking and start eating.

It was delicious, but after eating it, I found that some Chinese herbal medicines were added to these delicacies, such as Wei Ge. Damn it was a full man who didn't know how difficult it was for a hungry man. Lao Zhao was holding a large group of beauties in the harem and was unable to deal with it. After Dalian ate these things, what if Dabai didn't cooperate with him when he went home? It would be troublesome if he couldn't drive out after the car started.

After he had enough food and drink, Zhao Zhen said lazily again: "The queen asked me more than once to tell me about your problem, and some court officials also solicited some generals' opinions. They believed that in the Qingtang counterattack strategy you presided over, there was an intention to release water from Zhuo Luolan's troops, saying that you had room for her, which led to the Qingtang army being blocked and unable to completely take down the Great Wall defense line. Child, what do you have to say about this?"

"We are ambitious people, and we will do what we do and not do what we do."

Wang Rong talked freely: "These arguments that stolen the wind and shadows did not require any excuses. In fact, I came to this world naked and grew up in the Song Dynasty. When I was young, I was supported by the grace of the officials. As a reward, my obligations and mission to the Song Dynasty have been basically completed. I did not go to the capital hall and did not defend myself in the Secretariat because there was no need for that, and the official position was not what I cared about. So I came to the Shangqing Palace and just wanted to explain to the officials to the officials to avoid my thoughts."

Then he said: "In Qingtang counterattack strategy objectively, I do have compassion for Zhuo Luolan. But this does not harm our Song Dynasty strategy. The reason why Dong Ji and Qingyi were strictly prohibited from forming ghost seals to fight against the Southern Army Division was firstly because they had already won, and they were cautious and kept profits without giving up. Secondly, it was also considered to repay Zhuo Luolan's benevolence in Hehuang at that time. The so-called seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence, Zhuo Luolan's policy on the south bank of the Huangshui River retained Qingtang's vitality and limited damage. This is a fact. Later, she recognized the situation in time and reconciled the situation and withdrew from the Hehuang battlefield, which was also passively created opportunities for our volunteer army to end the Hehuang battle at a critical moment. Therefore, in terms of affairs, she could also be considered as "submission and loss". It was God's will to make some feedback to her, and it was also the right mind."

"At that time, I was considering the future interests of the Song Dynasty. If Qingtang successfully obtained the complete Great Wall defense line and Qingtang became wider quickly, it would be detrimental to the interests of our Song Dynasty in Hehuang. In other words, if we really broke up with the Southern Army and Zhuo Luolan took the blame and died, Xixia would no longer have decent border defense forces in the short term. If Xixia could not pose a continuous threat to Tubo, the reason for our Song Dynasty to garrison in Hehuang would be insufficient. If the Song army was not stationed, our Song Dynasty would have tied hands and feet to the entire Hehuang, and would easily make wedding clothes for others, which would affect the sustainable development of our Song Dynasty's commercial industry."

Speaking of this in one breath, Wang Rong finally said: "It is certainly impossible to say that I have no selfishness and is not objective. But this is the interests of the Song Dynasty in the future. What our country needs is balance, not the uncontrollable part of either Xixia or Qingtang. As the commander of the volunteer army, this is the final judgment of my minister on the Hehuang battlefield."

I'll go ~

These things sound simple and complicated, Lao Zhao and Lao Chen half opened their mouths, looking a little confused.

This is the case that Buming Jueli said, this is a very good idiom.

At this point, he understood his logic, and Old Chen immediately looked awe of the prodigy.

Zhao Zhen thought for a moment and sighed, "Thank you for your hard work in the Xiao Wangqing family... But why don't you explain these things clearly in the middle hall?"

"The official clearly sees that some things cannot be explained. Some people believe in the truth and have preconceived ideas. After they have their opinions, they don't want to hear different opinions until they are bleeding." Wang Rong said: "I have already said that my obligations and mission to the Song Dynasty have been basically completed, and these things are not important."

Lao Zhao couldn't help but be very shocked. This is indeed an experience. Judging from Lao Zhao's decades of experience in balancing the dynasty, the ministers of the Song Dynasty were, as Wang Rong said, and after they had their opinions, they would not like to listen to different opinions until they were in trouble.

This can be said to be the effort made by Lao Zhao for the enlightenment of the Song Dynasty, but it can also be said to be the cowardly and spoiled them for decades. It is true that although he was generally enlightened in the last dynasty, the literati were never so arrogant. Lao Zhao felt that it was "too much to blame" for this.

I can't control it anymore. Let's solve these things slowly for future people. Good people are used to being a good person. It is difficult to make Lao Zhao cruel once. However, if he doesn't become cruel, it will be difficult to stop their criticism of the child prodigy. This led to his intention to "retreat". Damn it, he actually said that his obligations and mission have been completed?

"Little wife..." Zhao Zhen sighed, "You are always very smart, capable, and caring. It is indeed a smart move to not put pressure on me and not go to the central hall to defend you. It is a bit aggrieved you. But even if you have this mind, I have tolerated them for the rest of my life and will not make an exception to ruin my reputation throughout my life. So this is the only thing that I will no longer have the energy to balance and help you argue with them."

"The little minister understands the mentality of the officials. The official never owe the little ministers, so there is no need to worry about it." Wang Rong said.

Lao Zhao was very satisfied and nodded while twisting his beard.

Given his good mood, Lao Zhao asked irrelevantly: "You have been fighting for the Song Dynasty in recent years, running around and around, and you have become more and more mature. In this blink of an eye, you have completely changed and you no longer have the unique sense of youth as a child. I can't help but have some thoughts in my heart and want to talk to you."

"Please tell me, the official." Wang Rong bowed.

Zhao Zhen said: "I know you have always had a good relationship with Zhao Zongshi..." After a pause, he sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Does the Xiao Wangqing family have any opinions on the establishment of the prince?"

Wang Rong suddenly shook his hand and said, "No, no, this is a high-end problem. I am a little bit light and have no opinion."

Zhao Zhen said: "I promise you that I want to hear your opinions now. As my body gradually deteriorates, more and more people are expressing their opinions and mentioning the issue of the crown prince. Since everyone has said that, as a literati of our dynasty, one of the great masters of writing books and making countless contributions to the Song Dynasty, you can certainly suggest me. Hurry up, what's the embarrassment?"

Wang Rong tilted his head and thought for a while, but still fooled: "I can't say it well. Without investigation and research, there is no right to speak. This is really nothing to do with me."

"You..." Old Zhao almost sneered, "Why is it not your business? Don't you care about your own interests?"

"Officials, please listen to the little ministers." Wang Rong talked happily, "As long as it is based on the will of the officials and carefully selected the prince. As for who it is, it doesn't matter. No matter who it is, it has reasons for the official, and must have his characteristics and functions. Just like it is going to rain, in short, the imperial guards of the Great Song Dynasty need to have a loyal object, and all the ministers and workers need the imperial court to have a great Song mascot as the cohesion of the entire country. If we use this as the goal and continue our enlightened political guidance, then the little ministers believe that no matter who it is chosen, it is the wise decision of the official."

Old Zhao stood up with a black look on his face, and gave him a palm to the back of his head with his own hands: "No matter how you say it, you are right. Now, I also understand the reason why those ministers always want to slap you. If you don't say it, get out of here."

"The little minister has surrendered, the high officials should pay more attention to their cultivation." Wang Rong planned to leave.

"Come back." Old Zhao called him back and pointed at his nose and said, "Don't think too much, don't run away. I know the nature of your urine. If I don't specifically say it, after you leave this door, you will definitely run to Beijing to hide. Did I say it wrong?"

Wang Rong suddenly felt a waterfall and sweat.

Zhao Zhen said again: "Don't be persecuted. The situation is not as serious as you think. The subordinates of the Zhongshu like to talk, so let them say it. Regarding the queen, since her mother is in the world, when will you accidentally be caught by her? As a junior, if you are scolded or beaten by her, it is no big deal to let me see it, and I can't die. Since you are smart and don't go to Zhongshu for excuses, then if I don't speak, no one can tell your problem. Do you understand? Don't you have to leave, prepare for the make-up exam. I don't have much energy. I'm waiting to see your academic progress in recent years. Don't let me down."

Wang Rong was very embarrassed. After saying this, he was embarrassed to run away to Beijing to avoid the limelight. Otherwise, he would appear too stingy and too vulgar, which was not very consistent with the "righteous" answers just now.

"Did you hear it?" Old Zhao raised his hand again and seemed to be slapping it.

"When I heard this, I went home to review and prepare for the exam." Wang Rong left.

After he left, Lao Zhao and Lao Chen looked at each other.

Manager Chen is very worried about Xiao Lao Wang’s knowledge and doesn’t know how he will pass the previous few levels?

Zhao Zhen was also very embarrassed about this. He just said that as an emperor, the highest level of inspections for the imperial examinations of the Song Dynasty, Lao Zhao could not openly guide him to cheat and pass the test, right? It can only be based on his luck and cheating skills. Just like his four crossings to the Huangshui River, if some luck is added, it should be possible to pass the layers of inspections of Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi and others.

If you really can't pass it, there is nothing you can do. Things in the world are like this and will not always be as satisfactory. Even if Zhao Zhen is the emperor, what can I do if I have experienced too many depressed things over the past decades?

What is certain is that the current situation is that if this kid fails to pass the exam, it will be really cold, and it is possible that even the official will not be able to be a final official.

If this happens unfortunately, Zhao Zhen will also deal with it, that is, he will take the initiative to cut off his official position, randomly as a duke, or something, and then find a princess that the queen likes to marry him.
