Now Zhao Zhen has received a lot of information from Zhao Jun. His character tends to be kind, or even sentimental. He is a little pessimistic for a while, which makes him feel uneasy.
Only Lu Yijian stepped forward to encourage Zhao Zhen and make him strong.
Lü Yijian's words quickly took effect, and Zhao Zhen slowly regained his spirits. After a while, he said, "Mr. Lü Xu's words are quite reasonable. For the sake of the prosperity of our country for future generations, I should also be more motivated. Gentlemen, what do you think of what Zhao Jun said?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Lü Yijian now held sway over the government. Of the three ministers and three advisors, Song Shou was his ally, while Wang Sui and Shengdu largely aligned themselves with Lü's faction. Although Wang Zeng and Cai Qi disagreed with him, they avoided his attack. Even Yan Shu was his ally. If Lü Yijian remained silent, it was naturally difficult for the others to speak up.
"Official family."
Lü Yijian bowed and said, "We can continue to test the issue of childlessness tomorrow. As for the three redundant issues Zhao Jun mentioned, they are indeed long-standing problems and will be difficult to resolve in a short period of time. Our most urgent task is to deal with the Dangxiang rebellion."
"yes."
Yan Shu also immediately said: "Zhao Yuanhao's rebellion and establishment of a new state is a great blow to the dignity of the Song Dynasty."
"But Zhao Yuanhao's army is powerful. Moreover, Zhao Jun also said that we were badly defeated in the battle with him, which actually helped Zhao Yuanhao gain prestige in the war of founding the country. If we rashly send troops..."
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but hesitate.
He called Li Yuanhao Zhao Yuanhao because Li Yuanhao had not yet restored his surname Li at that time. His grandfather Li Jiqian was given the surname Zhao by Zhao Kuangyin, and his name was Zhao Baoji, so the official name of the Song Dynasty was Zhao Yuanhao.
"Since failure must have a reason, if we can find the reason, we may be able to turn defeat into victory."
Yan Shu was very smart and immediately grasped the crux of the problem.
"What does Lord Yan mean?"
Zhao Zhen pointed to the next door and said, "Can he explain this kind of thing clearly?"
"Whether you can explain it clearly, you'll know once you ask."
"Um......"
Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "There is also the issue of my offspring."
"It's getting late today, ask again tomorrow."
Lu Yijian said.
Zhao Zhen could only smile wryly, feeling a bit tired and hesitant about the unknown, and shook his head: "Then let's go back to Funing Palace."
As he said this, he waved his hand, announced the end of the meeting, and went back to his bedroom.
Several ministers dispersed, and Lu Yijian reminded them that the matter must be kept secret. If the news got out, they would be severely punished, which made several prime ministers feel solemn.
After Zhao Zhen returned to Funing Palace, he summoned several favored concubines, such as Yu Yu Shi, Miao Yu Shi, and Zhang Meiren, and hugged them together.
Old Zhao is a piece of shit.
The youngest of the concubines, Master Miao, is only thirteen years old, and the oldest is only twenty-one. He still has the nerve to do something unnecessary.
But in the past, Zhao Zhen would have pounced on them long ago, but today he felt uncomfortable holding the girls in his arms. He wanted to do something but couldn't. He was not very interested, and his mind was full of what Zhao Jun said.
After thinking it over, he really couldn't fall asleep, so he dismissed the three concubines and asked them to return to their own palaces. He simply put on his pajamas and wanted to go to the back garden again, but suddenly remembered that Lu Yijian had repeatedly warned him not to let Zhao Jun know what he was doing in the Song Dynasty, for fear that he would not tell the truth in the future.
So in the end, Zhao Zhen resisted the urge to find Zhao Jun to find out the truth, and went back to his bedroom to lie down. There were too many things in his mind, and he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. It was not until the middle of the night that he tossed and turned for two or three hours before he finally fell into a drowsy sleep. After falling asleep, he was still talking in his sleep, which made the eunuch Wang Shouzhong who was guarding outside the door very worried.
"I have no son... I have no son..."
Amidst the almost inaudible murmurs, Zhao Zhen fell into a deep sleep.
Zhao Jun over there was also tossing and turning.
It was raining heavily outside.
He didn't know that there were imperial guards guarding him at the door, but he felt deeply uneasy.
I am alone in a foreign country, without any friends or acquaintances around me.
The most important thing is that he is blind.
Although the village chief comforted him and said that things would get better in the future, who could really tell what blindness was?
So Zhao Jun is also very scared now. He is afraid that he will be blind forever, and he is also afraid of his inner loneliness. Who can he talk to?
But now he was helpless and could only hide his fear in his heart and endure it silently while hugging the quilt.
It’s this quilt...it seems to be a silk quilt. Is our Nini Village so rich?
Zhao Jun also fell asleep in a daze.
It wasn't until the next morning when the door creaked open that he jumped out of bed and shouted excitedly, "Village Chief!"
In such an unfamiliar place, it would be nice to have someone to talk to.
Yan Shu walked in, holding a plate with a few steamed buns and a bowl of porridge on it. It was not that the imperial kitchen did not have good food, but last year when Bianliang was flooded, Zhao Zhen felt pity for the people, so he lived frugally and ate these things himself.
"Teacher Zhao, it's time for breakfast."
Yan Shu said.
“No rush!”
Zhao Jun waved his hand, sat cross-legged on the bed, and said towards the door, "I know why you wanted to hear about the history of the Song Dynasty yesterday. You must dislike the Song Dynasty as much as I do, right? So I prepared a Song Dynasty joke. Here's what I mean. Listen carefully."
One morning in 976 AD, Zhao Kuangyin pulled a piece of paper from his dragon robe and read it to the court: "The late emperor unfortunately passed away last night..." He touched his clothes and said, "I'm sorry, I wore my younger brother Zhao Guangyi's clothes this morning." How about this joke? Is it funny?
Yan Shu and Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian and other ministers who had just stepped into the room and were about to listen to Zhao Jun's lecture on the history of the Song Dynasty stopped in their tracks and their faces froze.
