Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1659 Deciphering Family Affairs
When Zhong Lirui went north, Shen Mo came to see him off, and said with a serious expression: "You have to be careful and honest, and you must not make any mistakes. I am afraid that the officials will become suspicious, and it is not appropriate to stay in Chenzhou."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely live up to my mission." Zhong Lirui didn't take it seriously, his thoughts and Shen Mo's thoughts were totally different.

Even if the emperor is jealous, so what, with Wang Xiu's reputation today, who else in the world can match her?But there are like clouds of followers who need to raise their arms.

Mo Mo was relieved, but he didn't know that Zhong Lirui didn't understand his painstaking efforts, and thought that the other party remembered his words, as long as Wang Xiu could return in time, a crisis would inevitably be resolved invisible.

As expected by Silence, no matter how much Zhao Jiong trusts and admires Wang Xiu, he also thinks about Wang Xiu's long absence from the south, and the performances of those worried ministers, and even Zhao Chen's warning, made him feel a little nervous in his heart. concern.

After all, he is the Son of Heaven.

Zhao Xun's words made him stunned for a long time, and finally closed the door sullenly for a long time. He was going to pay his respects to Zhao Chen, and it happened that Zhao Xun was also there.

Zhao Chen was a loser, so he was very happy to have a brother suddenly. He often invited Zhao Xun to chat in the palace, and the relationship was quite good. Sometimes he even stayed in Beinei.

Zhao Xun didn't have a good impression of Wang Xiu at first, so he was gradually influenced by it. The two brothers complained one sentence at a time. To be honest, there was no turmoil between the emperor and the vassal. It was just complaining. .

However, the key point is that their words touched Zhao Jiong's sensitive nerves. No emperor can be generous enough to ignore the existence of threats.

"Even if the prince has no intentions, can the officials guard against others? You must know how attractive the founding father is, and I am afraid it will be difficult for people to refuse. Now, the Gongsheng army controls the north of the city along the river, and the guard navy occupies the main road. The prince's arrival is afraid that people will be killed." Put on the yellow robe, let him be absolutely unwilling and helpless."

In the past few days, Zhao Jiong was so worried that he didn't think about eating and drinking, and he was full of worries in doing things. Zhu Lian had already noticed his appearance of worrying about gains and losses. .”

"Your Majesty, you have to think again, it's a big matter." Qingjun said worriedly, seeing that Zhu Lian had come to eat and drink for a few days, she was determined to make a decision.

"It doesn't matter, we will know sooner or later. This is a fact that officials must bear. We all have to face it." Zhu Lian made up his mind, sooner rather than later. hopefully.

"Hey." Qing Jun sighed faintly, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"If the official hasn't come back, I'm afraid he has other thoughts. Seeing that the fourteenth mother is about to get married, he is not at all anxious." Zhu Lian's tone was particularly complaining.

In other words, Wang Xinzhen is already eighteen years old, and belongs to the kind of little lady who is slightly older.Xia Wei is also more up-to-date. He won the first and second ranks of Jinshi in the Longfei Ranking, and he can be regarded as a scholarly celebrity. He can be matched with the fourteenth mother of the Wang family. People are quite appreciative, this is the rhythm of the grassroots counterattack, so that while scholars are envious and jealous, there are examples of motivating people to make progress, which has attracted the attention of scholars.

Since Xia Wei has no family members, the Wang family is very important. She has to wait for Wang Xiu to come back to welcome her. After more than half a year, even Youqin and Mo Yan are in a hurry. After all, Wang Xinzhen is not young.

Therefore, Youqin Mo Yan urges Wang Xiu to come back, but Zhu Lian secretly persuades Wang Xiu to compromise in the marriage of his children.

Now, the forces against Wang Xiu are very complicated. They can be roughly summed up into three categories, which can be described by two governments.Representative Zhao Ding strongly opposed Wang Xiu's influence and demanded that Wang Jue should be given to Wang Jue and completely leave the power center. These people are mainly composed of old-fashioned ministers, and they are quite strategic.

Li Gang represents the well-regulated class. They are the vested interests of Wang Xiu's New Deal, but they especially defend the imperial power. It can be said that they want to limit the power of the emperor and change the status quo. In all fairness, they are the most lethal forces.

Because this group of people is the most extensive and powerful, enough to change the power structure of the imperial court, and people have to pay attention to it.

The power represented by Li Guang is the weakest. After all, he supported Wang Xiu in the early stage. Although he was defensive, he only defended orthodoxy.In all fairness, they should belong to Li Gang's forces, but their attitudes are more tactful and gentle.

Liu Renfeng is extremely active, almost forming the fourth pole, but there is no market in Zhongshan Academy, so he can only rely on some of Yuquanshan's support.

However, Ye Mengqiu's death caused great damage to Wang Xiuxiang's influence of the theory school, and he was often blamed by Fei Su, just like in Zhongshan Academy.Today, he received an invitation to give a lecture, and Fei Su, Minister of the Taifu Temple, had a dispute, and he was close to throwing old fists.

Don't gossip, but said that Zhao Jiong came to the Hall of Cishou, but he didn't know it, and only vaguely guessed that Zhu Lian was speaking for Wang Xiu.

"The official family is here, hurry up and taste the fresh lychees." Zhu Lian especially dotes on his grandson, showing concern inside and out.

Zhao Jiong was not too polite, he ate a lot of lychees, and then washed his hands in the basin Qingjun brought, and said with a smile: "Thank you, auntie."

"The official family is the fruit prepared by the empress. Thank you for what I do." Qing Jun rolled her eyes. Her status is quite special. She is the personal maid of Zhu Lian's natal family. She has a high status in the court and is also Zhao Jiong's elder. Even the queen has to be courteous, worthy of joking with the emperor.

"My aunt said, why am I so confused." Zhao Jiong said with a smile.

"Look at what the officials said." Qingjun gouged out Zhao Jiong's eyes dotingly, and smiled lightly. She needs to leave time for Zhu Lian.

When Zhao Jiong saw Qing Jun withdrawing, he immediately understood that Zhu Lian had something to say, so he corrected his posture and waited quietly to speak, but his heart was uneasy.

"Official family, when the twelve mothers, that is, your aunt, went to sea, I told her the big secret. Now the official family has grown up, but it's time to tell you." Zhu Lian said slowly.

"Twelve mothers, aunt?" Zhao Jiong was startled, and couldn't help staring at Zhu Lian with wide eyes. He obviously only had one aunt, and the royal family's branches and leaves were withered. How could he be ranked twelve?

"Actually, when I was a young lady of the Zhu family, the first person I met was my husband. That day..." Zhu Lian recalled the past and fell into nostalgia for the past.

Zhao Jiong's eyelids trembled when he heard this, he didn't expect Wang Xiu and Zhu Lian to have such past events, although he didn't hear any other past events, he knew a lot in his heart.

"My husband and I are in love with each other, but we have to compromise. Fortunately, there are mandala flowers, which make the emperor intoxicated all day long, so I can use your third aunt to replace her. Poor her, but she did not escape the bad luck." Zhu Lian was still calm. Yun Qing said.
