Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 465 Zhu Lian's Satisfaction

"Officials, don't worry, I won't be reckless." Zhu Lian's face was blushing, if it wasn't for the palace people in the distance, she would really throw herself into her arms. After so many years of loneliness, facing the close-by Airo, her heart is beating wildly like a deer.

Wang Xiu silently nodded, and said solemnly: "I'm on duty tonight, let's talk about business first."

"Okay, let's talk about official business. The officials are so bold that they even recommended Cai Yizhi to the Jiangning Mansion. I'm sweating for you. I'm afraid that all the ministers will attack you with excuses." Seeing Wang Xiu's agreement, Zhu Lian's mood became milder, and he couldn't help it. joke.

Wang Xiu collected her thoughts, and said, "Cai Yizhi knows about Jiangning Mansion, and even Li Gang has never explicitly opposed it. This is the balance."

Zhu Lian looked at Wang Xiu with interest, smiled and said nothing, implying that she knew it well.

Wang Xiu felt uncomfortable being watched by her, and couldn't help asking: "What are you looking at?"

Zhu Lian said with a half-smile: "Officer, Fourth Sister and Wanyi don't want to come back, so they stay with you."

Wang Xiu curled her lips, and said awkwardly: "I still don't listen to persuasion, and I can't help it. You have to give me an idea and stop entertaining."

"Back then, Fourth Sister was fond of officials. If it wasn't for your intention, I'm afraid she would have been a son-in-law." Zhu Lian gave Wang Xiu a very ambiguous smile, which was somewhat sour.

Wang Xiu is suffering and can't tell. How to say what happened back then, if he was really fascinated by beauty, I am afraid that he and Cai Jing would have turned against each other long ago, and there would be no chance of being suppressed. He brought up the old things again, and he was full of shame and pity .As for Sister Lin Yue, she is also as beautiful as a flower. He didn't mean to pick it, but he could understand the other party's unwillingness to wither the palace ban.

"Emperor Ji and Wanyi both live in another courtyard. As long as you decide, they can return to the palace." Wang Xiu deliberately emphasized that they lived together to clarify their relationship.

"I didn't mention the officials, why are the officials guilty?" Zhu Lian looked at Wang Xiu jealously, her beautiful face was full of grievances.

"Fourth sister has been humiliated by other people's captives, so it is reasonable to not want to come back. If it were me, I would die."

Wang Xiu looked at Zhu Lian in surprise. If he hadn't really disturbed history, Zhu Lian might really have gone to the water. He couldn't help but said, "You can't hide it, it's very risky."

"The official's Nanxing is coming soon, and things are complicated. It's better to hide them for the time being, let them recover slowly, and wait until things are stable. Maybe it's not a bad thing for them to live in seclusion." Zhu Lian said lightly.

As a woman, she hates understanding women. As a concubine in the palace, sister Lin Yue is originally an accessory of the emperor, so she is not happy.Once freed from the cage-like court, he naturally didn't want to spend the rest of his life alone with the blue lantern.As for Zhao Fujin, she hasn't made up her mind yet, and she will hide for a while, waiting for a chance to find a reason.

It is true that she loves Wang Xiu deeply, but she understands that it is impossible for a good man to not have three wives and four concubines, and it is impossible for her to stay with Wang Xiu and simply fulfill Wang Xiu.

How could Wang Xiu fail to understand Zhu Lian's meaning, the more he explained, the more he couldn't explain clearly, and he simply didn't bother too much, and said: "Then do as you say, I am always ready."

Zhu Lian looked at Wang Xiu strangely, and she didn't want to add any more details, so she changed the subject and said, "It seems that Jiangning is the new capital of the imperial court?"

Wang Xiu said indifferently: "It's walking, Jinling is full of dragons and tigers, and looks like an emperor."

"Well, Li Bao and Shangguanqian are going south, so the next step is overseas?" Zhu Lian felt Wang Xiu's persistence, but couldn't bear to tell the truth, so he had to go along with him.

Wang Xiu frowned, full of ambition, and said with a smile: "Yes! It's too early for overseas expansion, we have to discuss it."

"Oh, it's not a trivial matter. It needs the support of all the important ministers, otherwise it's not easy to implement. It's just that Kaifeng's century-old capital has been abandoned like this. I really can't bear it." Zhu Lian sighed leisurely, full of nostalgia for Kaifeng.

"Kaifeng is not qualified to be a capital city. Some people forcibly regard it as a capital city because of political interests. Today, Jiangning is truly worthy of being a capital city." Wang Xiu said very emotionally.

"The Son of Heaven is here, so we have no choice but to take down Nanjing and take Jiangning as Nanjing. I'm afraid I will be criticized by those gentlemen." Zhu Lian laughed.

"It's just for the time being, and other things will concern him a lot, and it will naturally come to fruition. It's getting late, and you should also rest." Wang Xiu said with a dry smile.

"Then you go back first!" Zhu Lian blushed slightly, and said softly, "I should also go see the official family and the second sister."

"They..." Wang Xiu hesitated, after all, they were connected by blood.

"Wait a little longer, okay?"

Wang Xiu silently nodded, with a rather unhappy expression on her face.

Not long after Wang Xiu left, Qingjun walked lightly to Zhu Lian's side, and said softly, "Your Majesty, Sun Xianggong is here."

Zhu Lian's expression was quite boring, and he managed to pull himself together and said, "Please hurry up."

When Sun Fu came to the pavilion, he didn't understand why Zhu Lian summoned him at this time. He saluted cautiously and said, "I pay my respects to your empress."

"It's Sun Xianggong." Zhu Lian said with a faint smile on his face, dignified and authentic: "Sun Xianggong, as the chief assistant, is busy with general affairs, and summoned in a hurry. I hope you don't blame him."

As the empress dowager, Zhu Lian was so polite, which surprised Sun Fu. He vaguely felt that she must have something important to say, so he said cautiously: "I dare not." After speaking, he fell into silence and waited for Zhu Lian to speak.

Zhu Lian seemed to have seen through Sun Fu's mind, and he just said indifferently: "Since the imperial court encountered two major changes, the Taishang and Northern Hunting, and with the help of all the nobles, the official family was able to rejuvenate the emperor's career. However, the official family's year has passed He is ten years old and has already passed the teaching age, the Ai family would like to invite Sun Xianggong and other princes to find an emperor teacher for the official family as soon as possible, so that the official family can continue to study."

Sun Fu heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that Zhu Lian was going to tutor the little emperor in his studies, which can be said to be a major event that was ignored by them.Since the Jin army invaded the south for the second time, there were disputes inside and outside the court, and the emperor and many famous officials were taken into captivity, so that no one in the court cared about Zhao Chen's studies.Now that the world has been preliminarily determined, Zhao Chen, as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, had to be equipped with academic officials to tutor him in his studies, which was also the first important thing that the important officials of the two governments considered.

Of course, there is another level of consideration. Whoever can grasp the little emperor and successfully influence him will be able to grasp the future of the Great Song Dynasty!
"Your Majesty said that the officials' studies are related to the rise and fall of the world, and this is the negligence of the ministers."

Zhu Lian nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Today, Mr. Sun is invited to come here, and he is asking Mr. Sun to recommend a student from the official family."

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Fu said: "From the point of view of my ministers, you can choose famous ministers from the Diange University, Taijianguan, and Hanlin Academy to serve as attendants and lecturers, and then choose those who are inferior and junior. The government hall is a storyteller."

"Sun Xianggong's words are reasonable, but you must be cautious about choosing this candidate." Zhu Lian nodded and said.

Sun Fu pondered for a while, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the official family's studies are of great importance. After I return, I will discuss with all the assistants and settle this matter as soon as possible."

Zhu Lian was very satisfied and said: "Sun Xianggong sees, can you choose one who has both ability and political integrity from among the important ministers of the two governments."

Fu Sun was taken aback, and then he realized that Zhu Lian had summoned him to discuss the purpose of Zhao Chen's studies. It turned out that she wanted Wang Xiu to be Zhao Chen's emperor teacher.

Regarding Wang Xiu's talents, Sun Fu has nothing to say, but Wang Xiu's loyalty to the Song court, in Sun Fu's view, since Wang Xiu asked to be relieved of his military power, the little worry has also followed the return of the army. The smoke cleared.

He was just worried that Wang Xiu's miscellaneous knowledge would have a great influence on the young emperor, Wanyi would make Zhao Chen indulge in ingenious and ingenious skills, but he didn't want to see it.

Immediately, he said tactfully: "Madam, I think that among the assistants, Lord Wang is the most knowledgeable. However, Lord Wang is busy with His Majesty's business affairs, so I am afraid that he has no time to attend to the studies of the Shangguan family. Besides, what Master Wang has learned seems to be too broad. , some of which are not of much use to His Majesty. I suggest that if you use auxiliary government, it is better to use Mr. Qin who is good at classics and righteousness."

It was inconvenient for Zhu Lian to speak out about the appointment of Wang Xiu, but he wanted Sun Fu to let him speak out, so as to reduce some unnecessary resistance.

But I didn't expect that this old master would completely disregard the hints she had made and opposed Wang Xiu's teaching. This made me a little annoyed, and said coldly: "It is also reasonable for Sun Xianggong to say that Wang Xianggong is too knowledgeable, but this time the scientific examination The old system was restored, but all the nine members of the Wang family who are proficient in miscellaneous learning are included in the list, doesn't Sun Xianggong think that this is Wang Xianggong teaching well?"

Sun Fu's face was reddish, he was already worried that those young people who followed Wang Xiu were too knowledgeable, it would be good if only a few of the nine could pass the Jinshi examination.Li Gang proposed to restore the old system in order to prevent too many members of the royal family from entering the court, but he didn't say yes or no. How could the nine people be in high school when they were named.

Li Changsheng and Liu Renfeng were irrefutably rated as the best by the examiners in terms of their poems and scriptures, and they themselves were full of praise for Zhang Yunren's article. Even I couldn't help but secretly screamed ashamed.

Zhu Lian saw that Sun Fu was silent, so he said while the iron was hot: "If you can't be the emperor's teacher if you can't be the emperor's teacher, then the Ai family really doesn't know how many people can take on this important task."

Sun Fu saw that Zhu Lian was determined to use Wang Xiu to teach Zhao Chen, and if he had any objections, Zhu Lian would think that he was jealous. Judging from the results of this scientific examination, Wang Xiu's role as the emperor's teacher is beyond reproach.

"Your Majesty knows how to use people well, and I also think that Mr. Wang is competent."

Zhu Lian smiled with satisfaction, and said in a gentle voice, "Alright, then I will bother Mr. Sun to discuss the result with all the ministers in power."

"The minister leads Yizhi." Sun Fu said: "If the empress is fine, I will leave."

Zhu Lian nodded with a smile, and Sun Fu saluted again and retreated.

Looking at Sun Fu's leaving figure, Zhu Lian smiled faintly.Qing Jun didn't understand why Zhu Lian was laughing, so he asked in puzzlement, "Second Sister, what are you laughing at?"

"These old foxes know how to plot people all day long. When big things come, they are either helpless, or they harm the country and the people. How can the government be handed over to them? Let his father teach him personally."

Qing Jun glanced at Zhu Lian playfully, and said softly: "Second sister, the official wants to see the official's house, and you have refused several times."

"It doesn't make them get along day and night! You are also tired this day, go to bed early."
