Curiosity can kill cats, let alone humans.

Song Jiu returned home in a daze. No matter what Zhao Pu was trying to do, this time he released his kindness, but how did Song Jiu believe it! However, Zhao Kuangyi was immediately invited to the palace and asked him what he had talked to Zhao Pu?

There is no need to hide this. Song Jiuyi said the content of the conversation together, but Zhao Tingmei arrested Zhao Pu in her dream and did not mention it.

"Zhao Qing is old."

"Handa Mi Jiang."

Zhao Kuangyi felt sorry for the front and laughed loudly behind him. Song Jiu and Zhao Pu have been rivals for so many years, so of course they would not think about the better, but Zhao Kuangyi immediately understood what Zhao Pu had plans. Then he looked at Song Jiu and said slowly: "Song Qing, when Taizu was there in the past, I once commented on you and said that your lack of enterprising will be your flaw. Fortunately, you are not enterprising, and fortunately, it is me who protects you, which has made you a clear path. Although you are loyal to me and have done a lot of things that are beneficial to the Song Dynasty."

In other words, soldiers who don’t want to be marshals are not good soldiers.

In fact, if Yu Ping had not been in the Liao Kingdom, Song Jiuyi would have probably not worked so hard.

But even being a marshal is not easy to be a marshal. It is not easy to climb to the position of prime minister. It is even more difficult to be stunned and to do things. Song Jiu has talent, but he is short of power and strategy, but he is not good at power and strategy. Can he sit firmly in the position of prime minister?

However, Zhao Kuangyi was very satisfied.

As Song Jiu became more and more famous, his reputation became higher and higher, he was talented and very popular with the people. If he had ambition and skill, he might not be relieved if he was the king.

Song Jiu heard this sentence and hurriedly said: "The first lord made Zhuge Liang, Fu Jian made Wang Meng, and Emperor Taizong of Tang fulfilled Fang Du Weizheng. I met Your Majesty. It was my luck."

Zhao Kuangyi was very satisfied, and Song Jiu was even more satisfied.

"Since Zhao Pu has been making peace with you, you don't have to worry about it."

"Your Majesty, I am not actually concerned about Zhao Pu, but with your Majesty's protection, so I will naturally be safe and sound. What I am concerned about is Zhao Pu's various measures to destroy him in order to suppress him and harm the country."

Zhao Kuangyi smiled slightly. He knew that Zhao Pu would definitely not destroy Song Jiu’s military system reforms this time, but his face was dim. No matter what, Zhao Pu was finally a capable old minister, and his experience was of great help to the country and the country. Once he died, it would undoubtedly be the loss of the Song Dynasty. It seems that he will send the imperial physician to see it later. Then he asked: "Song Qing, the demon star you mentioned..."

"Your Majesty, it was the officials of Sitiantai who bewitched Your Majesty to fight the Northern Expedition."

"They are kind-hearted, but will I believe it after saying it? The country's disaster is so severe. How to attack the Northern Expedition!"

"Your Majesty is wise. You cannot be arrogant when you win, and you cannot be properly defeated. Once you win, you will have to fight the Northern Expedition soon. Once you fail, you will immediately ask for peace, which is an incorrect understanding."

"By the way, what about the plan you and Cui Yanjin were thinking about?"

"The plan is more feasible in two great victories, but as Your Majesty said, the drought has not slowed down, and it can even delay the harvest next year. So I think it is not the time to implement it. I did not notify the Zhe family, and if there are too many people who know it, it will inevitably be leaked."

"Well, let's talk about the demon star."

"Your Majesty, if you talk about the demon star, please move to Chongwenguan."

"Chongwenguan?" Zhao Kuangyi curiously followed Song Jiu to Chongwenguan.

It was almost dark, but there were also clerks guarding the Chongwenguan. Song Jiu ordered: "Transfer history books from all dynasties, based on the present, and push them up. It will be about 76 years, which may be delayed for several years, or may be years in advance to find the records of the relevant comets."

This is easier to find, and soon the records were found.

Although there are many comets and many comet records, Halley's comet's unique long tail and long cycle can be immediately identified in many historical materials.

April 2nd year of Ganhua, Houliang, 77th year.

It was not the seventy-sixth year, but Song Jiu also said that there could be several years of gaps between them, so the clerks continued to search for historical books in surprise. The second year of Kaicheng, 75th year of Emperor Wen of the Tang Dynasty, 77th year of Qianyuan, 77th year of Emperor Suzong, 77th year of Guangzhai, 76th year of Daye, 77th year of Yong'an, Northern Wei Dynasty, 77th year of Yong'an, 77th year of Yuanjia, 79th year of Ningkang, Jin, 79th year of Yuankang, 73th year of Jian'an, 77th year of Jian'an, 73th year of Yonghe, 77th year of Yongping, 77th year of Yongping, 8th year of Yongping, 75th year of Yanyuan, 78th year of Shiyuan, 75th year of Houyuan, 2nd year of Houyuan, 75th year of...

Some were bad weather, but some were good times for peace and prosperity, and even during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han.

This time it was Zhao Kuangyi's turn to be confused.

Originally, Song Jiu didn't want to say that the world was so big that it was wrong, and it was the emperor's biggest.

If there is something that is punished by God, it will serve as a warning to the monarch.

Hearing the Sitiantai officials suggest that the Northern Expedition destroy the Khitan, his ideas changed.

Even emperors who have made little achievements, such as Zhao Kuangyi and others, will not have the so-called heavenly punishment, and they will be cautious when governing the country. However, when they meet the master of Song Huizong, even if they have heavenly punishment, they may not care. On the contrary, in order to worship gods, they will make the people more painful.

He also saw a bad sign that Zhao Kuangyin's throne came in wrong and guilty, and Zhao Kuangyi's throne came in even worse and false, so he attached great importance to gods and immortals. In recent years, countless temples have been built in the country and privately, and countless people have become monks, nuns and Taoists. Lao Shi encouraged the people to be good and conducive to national stability, and Song Jiu also valued them, but it would be too much for this to continue.

It was precisely this idea that Song Jiu simply revealed the truth about the demon star.

"why is that?"

"I guess it may be an irregular asteroid body, so it orbits around the sun, and its orbit is extremely unequal and its eccentricity is very high. Therefore, when we are close to the earth, we see it coming. If it is far away and the reflected sunlight is weak, we will not see it. Moreover, because it is not as big as the earth, the gravity is weak, and there is no air above, so when changing careers, it will be affected by other small, non-standard celestial bodies, and the running time will cause years of error. Of course, this is my guess, but no matter whether my guess is right or wrong, or whether it is a bad star or a good star, or whether it appears, your Majesty must be careful and conscientious in governing the country. It is difficult to govern a harmonious family, and such a large country."

However, Zhao Kuangyi was hit by this and did not pay attention to Song Jiu's advice at all. He asked again: "So is there a Buddha?"

"I really don't know if there is a Buddha. I really don't know. There may be, and there may not be. My attitude is like the attitude of the Master, so I stay away from it. But even if there is, I believe that what the Buddha with compassion wants His Majesty to do is to make a powerful country and benefit the people. Let the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is the greatest good deed, rather than using people's wealth to build temples, buildings and towers..."

However, what Zhao Kuangyi often talked about in the three religions, Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism, actually ultimately, was his lack of confidence in his heart. He tried to use Confucian scholars and religion to interpret the legitimacy of his throne.

Song Jiu said it may not be useful, and he would not say much if it was useless.

Therefore, he said: "But Your Majesty just mentioned that plan, I thought of Hedong. Hedong and Pan Yang are both old, so I think that I should send two senior generals to Hedong and gradually carry them to the future. Besides, that plan cannot be separated from Hedong."

"Who?"

"Yin Jilun and Yang Si."

Song Jiu proposed that these two people have special backgrounds. Yang Xin pretended to be mute for countless years, and was so mature that he paved a good path for Yang Si. Yin Jilun had some relatives with Zhao Kuangyi.

Therefore, many generals who can fight emerged in Hebei, and Song Jiu only recommended these two.

The Black-faced King and Yang Xin’s younger brother, Zhao Kuangyi, admired these two candidates very much, and was very proud of them.

"Furthermore, rewards and punishments are clear. The losers must be severely punished, and the winners must be rewarded. In this way, everyone can fight vigorously, and the three armies can be powerful, and gradually recover Yanyun. If you defeat the powerful Liao bandits, your Majesty can be as famous as Emperor Taizong of Tang. It will be famous for all ages."

"I understand." Zhao Kuangyi said with some displeasure.

But he had to agree. First, Song Jiu was different from Zhao Pu, and there were very few edicts that forced Zhao Kuangyi to agree. Just a few times, he did not agree. Second, rewards and punishments have indeed become a problem now. Those who have made contributions are rarely rewarded, and those who have failed have no punishment.

Zhao Pu indeed submitted the memorial for apologizing.

In fact, Zhao Tingmei came to arrest his soul all night, and Zhao Pu was no longer the shrewd and capable Zhao Pu who used to be.

Halley's Comet gradually faded away, Zhao Pu praised his congratulations and said: "Your Majesty blames you, and you will be damaging your etiquette and destroy your evil spirits. This is a great virtue."

In fact, when Zhao Kuangyi took the blame on himself, Halley's Comet continued to wander around the earth. If Halley's Comet was said to have left, it should have slipped away after Zhao Pu's self-blame memorial was submitted.

He was somewhat out of control when he said this.

However, at this time, the capital city had already spread the story of Zhao Pu having a nightmare, and the three kings came to arrest their souls. Some people sympathized with it, while those who hated it were happy to say that it was retribution.

But it was not caused by Song Jiu, but by the servants of Zhao Pu's family, who began to discuss at home and followed the news to the market.

Zhao Kuangyi was a little worried and looked at Zhao Pu and said, "The heavenly clever is not far away. We should work with you to eliminate the controversy."

Then Zhao Pu was seriously ill one after another and could not even come to the court meeting. Zhao Kuangyi agreed. Even in the end, he could not even go to the Secretariat, but handed over the government affairs to Lu Mengzheng for handling, allowing Lu Mengzheng to take the lead.

But even so, Zhao Pu still cooperated with Song Jiu. He first secretly instructed him, and gradually there was less opposition, so several proposals were passed.

Some people objected that the space for power is so great, not in the East Prefecture, in the West Prefecture or other ministries, not in the military generals, but in the civil officials. Song Jiu's reforms are gradually improving the status of military generals. This is not wrong. Border defense battles are the duties of military generals, and they are in charge of civil officials. However, these responsibilities over the years are actually power, which is gradually transferred to civil officials. Song Jiu's reforms are returned to military generals. Therefore, some civil officials are very unhappy.

But these people have nothing to do with Zhao Pu.

In fact, it is mainly Zhao Pu!

Then, at the suggestion of Zhao Pu, Wang Huaji served as the right censor and the chief censor of the Quan Censor.

Wang Huaji was the first student in the academy to pass the Jinshi exam.

It can be said that Song Jiu is Wang Huaji's husband, but there were many more men in the school hall, but when I arrived at the academy, I had more men.

I can only say that Wang Huaji was exposed to some of Song Jiu's fishy smell.

This made Zhao Pu deliberately suppress Wang Huaji, but Wang Huaji was not convinced, so he submitted a report to Zhao Kuangyi, who reconciled from it, and Wang Huaji escaped.

It was not until this time that Song Jiu understood Zhao Pu’s intention and sighed for most of the day: “Why do you have to?”

This is how to judge a gentleman by his villain’s heart. The previous generation was the grudges of the previous generation. If you don’t do these things, will you take revenge on the Zhao Chengzong brothers if Zhao Pu fails to do anything?

But Song Jiu was very happy, dying early, Lao Zhao, dying early, reincarnating early.

Without Yelu Xiu Ge, the border would not worry Song Jiu anymore. Without Zhao Pu, no one would scare him anymore!
