This prince is so sinister

Chapter 202 Fan Zhongyan

As a result, it was only on the second day that Zhao Zhi stayed in Xixia for only one day after taking Xixia. On the second day, he returned to the Song Dynasty with 40 soldiers and horses, and temporarily handed over Xixia to Liu Yong and the [-] Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty .

Tubo still needed Ji Siluo to sit in the town, so Ji Siluo led 20 soldiers and horses back, and Zhao Zhi also led [-] soldiers and horses as bodyguards back to the Song Dynasty. As a result, Fan Zhongyan was brought along after passing through the northwest border of the original Song Dynasty.

horse riding?Although Zhao Zhi also learned how to ride a horse, he felt too tired, so he took a horse-drawn carriage, and as long as he kept on driving, he could return to Bianjing in the Song Dynasty within a day.

As for the war horses, after winning the Xixia Great Song Dynasty, you will have your own horse farm, especially the [-] cavalry who just defeated the Liao Kingdom.

So Zhao Zhi brought back [-] cavalry, who were completely shaken by the ground when they ran, and they were not afraid of even being surrounded by a large army.

Then an army of one hundred thousand rumbled past like a torrent, and the guards in the middle were only a carriage. On the carriage sat Zhao Zhi and Fan Zhongyan who was driven to the northwest by the Queen Mother.

But obviously after a while, Fan Zhongyan also recognized his position. He was a subordinate official in front of Prime Minister Wang Yanjue, and he would also call himself a subordinate official in front of Zhao Zhi in the future.

Zhao Zhize couldn't help but feel agitated in his heart. His own time has come, and all those who stand in front of him will be crushed into powder by his own Song Dynasty torrent.

Zhao Zhi: "Brother Fan, I should let you sit in Xiazhou. Do you think Liu Yong can be optimistic about Xiazhou?"

Fan Zhongyan was sweating slightly, and he simply called Zhao Zhi's brother Fan. The obvious and natural Zhao Zhi was already in the top position, and the magistrate of a state was appointed by the queen mother and the emperor at will, and there was absolutely no one. Dare to say anything.

What is the difference between the Supreme Emperor of the Song Dynasty and the emperor of the Song Dynasty?

Fan Zhongyan was slightly puzzled in his heart, but he didn't say it directly, and he said seriously: "Although brother Liu has no experience in managing a state, Xiazhou has 40 elite imperial troops in command, so there will be no problems. , enough to deter the Uighurs in Naxi Province and the Liao Kingdom."

Zhao Zhi nodded: "That's right, the Uighur was suppressed and beaten by Li Yuanhao originally, but now that I get rid of Li Yuanhao, I only escaped a man who didn't hide, which is still a disaster after all.

But at this time, the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty is sitting in Xiazhou, and I have ordered Liu Yong to recruit Xiazhou's soldiers and horses on the spot. I think that there will be no troubles if there is no hidden pang, and the Liao Kingdom also needs it. Lick the wound, and you can relax for a while. "

Fan Zhongyan: "Your Excellency said so."

Zhao Zhi has already stood at the top of the pyramid of the Song Dynasty, and there is no need to be humble and dare not call it.

Zhao Zhi: "I thought the same way. At that time, there was no one around, but Liu Yong could still trust him, so I simply let him be the magistrate of Xiazhou temporarily. It doesn't matter even if he has no experience. Brother Fan, do you know why I brought him along?" you?"

Fan Zhongyan immediately said respectfully: "I don't know."

Fan Zhongyan claimed to be a subordinate to himself. Even though Zhao Zhi was unwilling to be humble, he was still a little unaccustomed to it. Of course, unaccustomed will always become a habit. He has the entire Song Dynasty in his hands, and no matter how humble he is, he is hypocritical.

So Zhao Zhi simply acquiesced to Fan Zhongyan's subordinate, saying: "It's the question you're thinking about."

Fan Zhongyan was at a loss, what was he thinking?What problem do you think?
So he simply asked directly in doubt: "I don't know what the adults are talking about?"

Zhao Zhi deliberately smiled mysteriously: "Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later. I think Brother Fan has already begun to worry about the world's worries before, and it is exactly the problem that Brother Fan usually worries about my Song Dynasty."

Finally, Fan Zhongyan couldn't help trembling his hands, and couldn't help being so shocked that he couldn't believe it. He hadn't told anyone about the worries in his heart, how could Zhao Zhi know?

On the surface, he cupped his hands in shock and said, "What the lower officials usually worry about is how we, the Great Song Dynasty, should clarify the administration of officials and strictly enforce the rule of law. How can your lord know what the lower officials are worried about?"

Since he was also deliberately probing, is this Mr. Zhao really so scary?Do you even know what's on your mind?

However, not wanting to lose his voice, Zhao Zhi really nodded, can I not know, you are the one who said to worry about the world first, I not only know about your reforms, but also know that you will lose, you will be defeated, and your reputation will be ruined.

But he opened his mouth and said: "Just because I know that Brother Fan is a person who truly worries about the world, so I guessed what Brother Fan was thinking. It is the one that clarifies the administration of officials and enforces the rule of law. I am ready to support you." Reformation;
Originally, the reformation you want is doomed to fail, and it will be a complete failure, and even ruined in the end, but now with my support, I think it should be successful. "

In an instant, Fan Zhongyan couldn't help being excited, his heart trembled again and he saluted respectfully: "If you can clarify the administration of officials for the Great Song Dynasty, the subordinate officials will not be afraid of ruining their reputations, and please help the subordinate officials."

Zhao Zhi smiled: "Since I brought you with me, let me tell you, I will help you secretly. But let's say yes first, you will be the bad guy, and I will be the good guy. You are responsible for the firepower and dirty water of the officials of the Song Dynasty, and I will also help you." Will follow them to shout and kill you.

Well, but what should be changed should continue to be changed, and what should be changed must continue to be changed. You can just make reforms and reforms. When I go back, I will speak to the Queen Mother for you and give you a political advisor. Just think about how to change it. . "

Fan Zhongyan couldn't help being so excited that his body trembled slightly. With Fan Zhongyan's qualifications, he really couldn't resist.

It was Zhan Zhao who was driving the carriage outside, and he couldn't help being weird when he heard it.

This Mr. Zhao is really different from other people. He asked Fan Zhongyan to reform the law, secretly supported and helped Fan Zhongyan, and on the surface scolded Fan Zhongyan with all the officials, but even if Fan Zhongyan was not punished, it was exactly where Fan Zhongyan couldn't help being excited.

To really do things for the emperor and take the blame for the emperor, although Zhao Zhi is not yet the emperor of the Song Dynasty, he is no different from the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Don't treat me badly.

But I didn't want Fan Zhongyan to hear it, and after being excited for a moment, he couldn't help sweating slightly: "My lord, I just have some ideas for the time being, and I don't have a clear idea where to start."

Obviously Fan Zhongyan is not ignorant, but wants to ask Zhao Zhi what he wants to change?
Only by asking clearly can you change, otherwise if you move something that Zhao Zhi doesn't want to change, you will feel uncomfortable. Zhao Zhi is not a faint king, he always plays people to death silently.

Zhao Zhize was also moved in his heart, I know this, I really know how you, Fan Zhongyan, reformed, but at the same time, what I don't know is that there is someone waiting for him in front of him.
