Not only that, when Zhao Yuanzhen walked around Prime Minister Lu again and ignored Concubine Pan who was holding the railing and looking at the Imperial Street below in a daze, and then faced Emperor Zhao, he found that the emperor was a little too calm... The emperor in a red robe was actually coaxing Princess Yiyou who was crying in fear in his arms, and he didn't seem to care about the scene below at all.

"Your Majesty..." Zhao Yuanzhen bowed. "The princess is still young, it's not good for her to be exposed to the wind too much, let alone be frightened like this?"

"It's okay. If you get scared a few times when you are young, you will live longer." Zhao Jiu said indifferently. "What do you think of today's incident, Mr. Zhao?"

Zhao Ding looked back at Yang Shi, Hu Anguo and others who were speechless and shocked upstairs, and then glanced downstairs and said carefully: "I think Prime Minister Lu Gong has profound knowledge, proper preparation, and clear calculations. After this, the original school has shocked the world both academically and from the people. But next, how the government arranges politics is the key."

"I made arrangements?" Zhao Jiu handed her daughter, who had gradually stopped crying, to Concubine Wu beside him, and then laughed. "Didn't the provincial government and the central government make any arrangements?"

Zhao Ding was silent for a moment, then said seriously: "I have been trying to ask the provincial government to make arrangements these days, but the emperor has not made any. I don't know how the emperor wants to arrange it, but it is not easy to arrange it..."

"This is a tongue twister." Zhao Jiu glanced at Zhang Jun and Liu Ji who had followed him earlier and laughed. "But, has Lord Zhao been wanting to tell me this tongue twister for a long time?"

Zhao Ding hesitated to speak.

"That's fine." Zhao Jiu sighed slightly, then nodded: "I am still too slow. Since you all want me to make some arrangements, I will make them today... Zhao Qing."

"I am here."

"Starting tomorrow, we will arrange a Marathon half-ball parade at noon every day on the Imperial Street in front of Xuande Tower. We will arrange it for a whole month. Lu Benzhong should have prepared the spare half-ball. Please cooperate with the provincial government."

"I save that."

"I... Mr. Lu, based on the principle of air pressure, has applied what he learned to make a water pressure well. It is very useful. You should prepare it and try to arrange for its promotion."

"yes."

"As for the rest of the arrangements, there is no need to prepare a banquet. Let's go to the fish pond in the harem and have a cup of tea. I will explain everything to you right then and there." Zhao Jiu continued. "Several gentlemen, several gentlemen, the six ministries, the nine officials, and the Imperial Censorate... Let's go together."

Zhao Ding immediately bowed, and everyone including Zhang Jun also bowed. Just as several great scholars reacted and were about to bow, Emperor Zhao had already turned around and went downstairs.

Just like that, two quarters of an hour later, except for the two imperial concubines and several little princesses who avoided this place, all the important officials who had been on the Xuande Tower before came to the old garden of the former harem.

To be honest, some great scholars who came here for the first time were shocked when they saw the scene in the royal back garden. Mr. Guishan Yang Shi, who returned here after several years, was even more speechless, stroking his beard... It turned out that the royal back garden, which was once full of magnificent scenery, within an area of ​​more than ten acres, now has eight fish ponds and eight mulberry hills distributed in a square shape.

The fish pond was filled with newly sown fish fry, and on the ridges of mud in the gaps between the fish ponds were newly transplanted mulberry trees. At the moment, there was only a group of small chicks that had grown to a certain size, but they were frightened away by the noise here.

Zhao Jiu, the official Zhao who contracted eight fish ponds, spread a futon and set up a few tables on the grass beside the fish ponds to invite today's guests to have tea.

"His Majesty……"

After everyone sat down, before anyone could say anything, Mr. Guishan Yang Shi stood up tremblingly and bowed.

Although this old gentleman is old, his mind is very clear. Before he arrived in the capital, he knew that Emperor Zhao was secretly helping Lu Haowen through official reports; yesterday, this emperor appeared in the Wuyue Temple with Lu Benzhong, and even forced himself to take advantage of the situation, and left in anger halfway; today there was another loud noise in front of Xuande Tower, how could he not know that this emperor had already been biased in his heart?

I dare not be negligent in the slightest and am ready to say whatever I can.

"What are you talking about, Mr. Yang?" Zhao Jiu picked up the spring tea and smelled its fragrance first, but he was not in a hurry, as if he really knew the person.

"It has been many years since I last saw you, and I haven't had the opportunity to congratulate you..." Yang Shi said calmly.

"What is there to celebrate?" Zhao Jiu just sipped his spring tea and casually placed the cup on the table in front of him. "I received condolences for the battle at Yaoshan, but not congratulations. It was natural for me to have a child. I am a little relieved that the rebellion at Dongting Lake was quelled, but Yang Qing shouldn't have known about it so quickly... What do you want to congratulate?"

"I congratulate you for obtaining the three treasures of the saint!" Yang Shi, who was almost eighty years old, was not in a hurry and faced forward proudly.

Zhao Jiu smiled but said nothing.

"First, congratulations to the emperor for his understanding of the doctrine of the mean. After four years of hard work, he won a victory. He did not take action, but was able to accept advice and take good positions. Second, congratulations to the emperor for his understanding of the true meaning of learning, studying things to gain knowledge, practicing learning, and even practicing it to prove the way of a sage. Third, congratulations to the emperor for his simple behavior, abandoning desires and preserving righteousness, sleeping on straw and tasting gall, and never forgetting the humiliation of Jingkang." Seeing that the emperor did not respond, Yang Shi continued directly. "As the saying goes, simplicity is for self-cultivation, practice is for knowledge, and the doctrine of the mean is for concealing one's edge... The emperor is only in his twenties, but he has such a saintly appearance. When I saw this, I felt excited. It can be seen that the country's revival is also hopeful."

Zhao Jiu laughed again: "This is only what Yang Qing said. If it were someone else, Li Xiantai would probably get angry and scold the villain on the spot."

Everyone went to look at the Chief Censor Li Guang, who was inexplicably burned by fire and was speechless for a moment.

"However, Li Xiantai has nothing to say, but I think Yang Qing's evaluation of me is a bit exaggerated..." Zhao Jiu sighed slightly. "I am not simple, nor can I be called diligent and studious, let alone the doctrine of the mean, or the way of holding back."

All the officials, including Zhao Ding, looked over.
