    The Wanshou Temple built in the northwest corner of Genyue Xingyun Garden is the permanent residence of Zhao Ji, an official of the Song Dynasty.  The imperial city of Bianliang during the Song Dynasty was only developed from a military state government office. Although Zhenzong and the current officials tried their best to expand and build it, it was naturally limited.  It is far inferior to the Chang'an Palace in previous dynasties such as the Han and Tang Dynasties, and it is also inferior to the Forbidden City in later generations.  It is quite similar to the scale of wealthy families in Nanjing at the founding of the Ming Dynasty.  Furthermore, three-quarters of the area in the Imperial City of the Song Dynasty was occupied by various central government agencies as office space.  It is not as grand as the imperial cities of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, where the interior is the emperor's family property.  Banzhong only occupies a piece of land in the northwest corner of the imperial city.  The scope is so small that there are only two gates, Huitong Gate and Xuanyou Gate. Huitong Gate has a series of palaces to the south of Xuanyou Gate, such as Jiying Hall, Huangyi Hall, Chui Gong Hall, Wende Hall, and the whole area is ten years old.  Jiu doesn't need it, except that Dachao is locked there to gather ashes.  ¡°And outside the imperial city, right next to it is the lively market.  Officials of the Song Dynasty often climbed high in the ban to see the common people in Bianliang City.  The Imperial City of the Song Dynasty was the most pyrotechnic among all the dynasties.  But for today¡¯s luxurious officials, such confinement is far from enough to live satisfactorily.  That's why it took nearly ten years to create a series of royal gardens called Genyue Xingyun, which made the entire southeast agitated.  In January, he spent half of his time living in a series of palaces in Genyue Xingyun.  Zhao Ji was a rare and powerful emperor in the Song Dynasty. He was banned in the court and did not say anything.  But one good thing about today¡¯s officialdom is that they are generous to their trusted ministers.  He is also very generous to his family.  It is rare for emperors in previous dynasties to be so cold and vigilant about family ties.  He also had many children, and his children followed them in choosing a palace in Genyue Xingyun as a place where they could often come and live. They could also come and go and play here at will.  Officials often wear green clothes and small hats, and use their children as envoys to play in the market.  He also taught his children calligraphy, painting, and music analysis.  He looks like a kind father and has a happy family relationship.  But in the past half month, the official family has basically been living in Wanshou Temple.  But it's rare to be so close to your children.  Even during banquets, she would still appear to be worried sometimes, even repelling two palace ladies serving around her.  For Zhao Ji, who is kind to those around him, scolding others is already a sign of a very bad mood.  In recent days, everyone serving around Zhao Ji seemed to be on tenterhooks, fearing that the official's mood would get worse again.  Although they know to some extent what some officials are upset about, but with the hidden truth hanging over them, who dares to say anything more?  Today, Zhao Ji is in an extremely elegant room wearing a Taoist robe.  It was said that he was resting, but in fact he was leaning lazily on the soft couch, flipping through a volume of Daozang.  My mind was completely blank at the moment. I didn't think about anything, and I didn't bother to think about anything. Instead, I had a half-day of leisure. The worries that had been lingering these days seemed to have disappeared.  My mood was not as gloomy as the previous few days.  After sitting like this for an hour, Zhao Ji felt a little sleepy and needed to stretch.  My mood has adjusted well, and I am thinking about whether to go to the Eight Immortals Tower for painting or to watch a song and dance at the Jinglongmen Waterside Pavilion.  In the Song Dynasty, there was no reason to encircle a group of pear orchards in the ban for worship. They were all troupes of outside singing prostitutes. According to the contract, they would serve in the ban for half a year and a year. At that time, it would be most fair to take the money and leave.  The dancers who come in alternately to worship these days are dancing in circling and circling movements, which is quite moving, but I haven't really enjoyed it yet.  At this moment, Dongdong¡¯s footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, but there were many people walking towards this elegant room.  Most stopped a few doors away.  There were only two footsteps coming straight towards this elegant room.  One's footsteps were soft, obviously trotting all the way, and the other's footsteps were much lighter.  He seemed to be trying hard to keep up with the trotting man.  I also heard a girl's soft voice with a hint of boredom in her voice saying with a slight smile: "??, wait a minute, I've alerted the officials. If you don't, you'll have to copy the female commandments again." The two people waiting in the elegant room  The eunuchs all had smiles on their lips, and they obviously knew who was coming.  The arrival of these two most favored concubines will definitely make the officials feel better.  There is no need for everyone to be so worried.  I secretly told you that these days, the officials would not be bored in Genyue Xingyun and think less about the troubles in the court.  They were already at a disadvantage in their work, and they didn't know which of the available eunuchs had gotten through to Imperial Concubine Yisu and asked the two empresses to stick to the official family.  It really took a lot of thought!  Zhao Ji also had a smile on his face and sat up lazily.  Looking outside the door, I felt the fragrance blowing in the elegant room in an instant.  Two girls, one large and one small, wearing plain-colored trousers came in.  The older one is actually only about eighteen years old.  The facial features are all beautiful, and the big eyes are even more dreamlike, always carrying a certain charm.  Looking at Zhao Ji at this time, he smiled lightly, with the corners of his lips slightly curved. As long as he was a man, he seemed to beYou will fall into the eyes and smiles.  This girl turned out to be a natural beauty, with a stunning face and a top-notch contemporary figure!  She was dressed plainly and elegantly, not even decorated with flowers.  A head of shiny black hair hangs down her back, swaying gently with every step she takes.  The waist is so slender that it can be held in the palm of your hand.  Everyone looks shy and timid.  This kind of girlish beauty and natural beauty with charming appearance and temperament are perfectly blended together.  Master Li is already a stunning beauty, but in front of this girl, I'm afraid she will even be inferior!  If Xiao Yan were present, I'm afraid he would have to whistle loudly.  What a natural beauty, no matter what era she is placed in, she is a gift among men¡¯s gifts!  With this beautiful girl, there is a pretty little girl who is almost between a lolita and a girl.  She is very popular, her head is full of pearls, and her little face, which is slightly baby fat, is also carefully decorated with flowers.  This kind of girl pretends to be an adult, which often makes people smile. Of course, first of all, this little girl has to be cute enough. She has a pair of calves? She is so fast, regardless of the pull of the beautiful girl behind her, she dives into Zhao Ji as fast as she flies.  In his arms, he grabbed Zhao Ji's beard and started acting coquettishly, followed by a burst of laughter that sounded like silver bells and was as crisp as beads of jade falling.  The little girl finally put her arms around Zhao Ji's neck and said coquettishly: "Daddy, official father, official father, you have been in the garden for more than ten days, why don't you want us to pretend to be traders from all over the world? You want to see the elephants salute and dance, the mahout said  These elephants from Anangong in previous years are old and cannot be moved lightly. The official father said nothing and did not dare to let us watch. The official father said, just let the new ones come from Anangong. " Zhao Ji also smiled helplessly.  His face was full of love, and he was protecting his carefully maintained beard.  He just said on the other end: "The official father's beard, the official father's beard! It's a little bit missing, how can I see the minister?" The beautiful girl also came closer and gave her little girl a strange glance. This casual look  Just like weeping and complaining, the charm is overwhelming.  The two eunuchs waiting nearby almost reacted.  Then this beautiful girl bowed down to Zhao Ji Yingying and said, "I have seen the official family." These two girls were naturally Zhao Ji's daughters.  The older ones are Zhao Ji's seventh daughter and Maode Diji who will turn eighteen in four months.  She has always been known as the most beautiful imperial concubine in the royal family since the Song Dynasty.  The old Zhao family, except for the handsome and big-eared Yi Zu, has always looked good. After so many generations of beauties have been improved, each wave has become more outstanding.  Later generations called Kublai Khan, the Mongolian king who usurped the throne of the Yuan Dynasty. When they saw the portraits of the previous emperors of the Zhao family, they all said that they had the same imperial doctor's face.  This imperial doctor's face actually means that this person is elegant and gentle, with clear eyebrows and clear eyes, and has a first-class demeanor.  If men are like this, women are naturally better.  But being so beautiful as to be as beautiful as Emperor Maode is still a bit unnatural.  The younger one is Zhao Ji¡¯s twentieth daughter, Roufu Diji, who is also Zhao Ji¡¯s current daughter.  Fourteen is still a little short of that.  "One is gentle, the other is lively, and they are born from the same mother. They are always in pairs wherever they go, and they have the best relationship.  He is also the most favored by Zhao Ji.  Seeing these two daughters coming together, Zhao Ji was in a good mood and immediately felt generous.  Looking at the bowed Emperor Maode, she shook her head helplessly.  Zhao Jiyue had many daughters, but this daughter was simply too beautiful.  This kind of charm is purely natural.  A woman who is so beautiful is not sure whether she is jealous of God, and her circumstances are not good.  Now Emperor Maode, whose nickname is Fujin, is about to take charge of leaving the cabinet, but she doesn't know what kind of person to find for her to ensure that her daughter will be happy throughout her life.  He is the emperor, so he naturally loves his extremely beautiful daughter more than others. He is also in good health, so he has to protect this good-tempered but shy daughter to live a happy life!  As for the Roufu Diji in her arms who keeps tugging on her beard, this little girl has a generous heart.  A royal woman's open-mindedness is the greatest blessing, so she doesn't have to worry much.  It must be a destiny of good fortune and longevity.  Zhao Ji didn¡¯t know that in real history, the fate of his two daughters was extremely tragic.  After Maode turned eighteen, he married Cai Jing, Cai Jing¡¯s fifth son.  Four years later, Emperor Maode, who was less than 22 years old, became famous in the world for her beauty and was named by the Jurchens.  He was tossed between several top figures of the Jurchen Tatars, and was tortured to death the next year.  And Emperor Roufu was seventeen years old at the time, and she was the last princess of Zhao Ji who was not suitable for anyone.  The Jurchens attach great importance to it.  After capturing the virgin princess, she was solemnly sent to the Northland to be presented to the Jurchen Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai.  On the way, he was escorted by a Jurchen general to guard him.  Although the Jurchen general was beheaded, Wu Qimai also lost his interest in Roufu and dismissed him casually.  Emperor Roufu also wandered around the palace of the Jurchen nobles. After being tortured enough, she randomly pointed out a Han man in the Five Kingdoms City for them to get married.  But Emperor Roufu was no longer lucky enough to settle down and spend the rest of her life, and died in the Five Kingdoms City at the age of thirty-one.  (Later, someone pretended to be Roufu Diji, caused a public case in the Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty.  ) Zhao Ji now wanted to protect his two most beloved daughters for life, but in the end it was so miserable!  At this moment, the two beauties, one big and one small, were smiling like flowers, admiring themselves in front of Zhao Ji.  Zhao Ji was overwhelmed by Roufu. Seeing that Roufu Emperor Ji was still dragging his beard to play on the swing, she was about to call the eunuchs to come to the rescue.  Suddenly, I discovered that there was a hair comb inserted in the hair of Emperor Roufu, decorated with curly grass and phoenix patterns. The workmanship was extremely exquisite. Needless to say, this hair comb was carved from a single piece of jade. This jadeite  The greenery is dripping, but it is naturally transparent under the light.  Jade came as tribute from Annan and was very valuable in the Song Dynasty.  This large piece of top-quality jadeite, which can be used as a hair comb, is worth an astonishing price of thirty to fifty thousand guan.  Zhao Ji is naturally very generous to his children, but this old man spends too much money, building palaces, temples, and mountains, and enjoying them to no end.  What can be used on his children is limited even if it is thicker than the previous emperors. Moreover, he has so many children that a slight increase would be a huge expense. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off, but not more than ten thousand yuan of makeup every year, and there are so many people to serve.  It's all spent on makeup money.  Compared with previous generations, it was extremely luxurious. The annual salary of the prime ministers in the Song Dynasty was less than this amount.  But I can't afford such an expensive hair comb!  Zhao Ji was surprised, reached out and gently pulled out the hair comb from Emperor Roufu's head, and played with it.  With her hair down, Emperor Roufu is as bright and discerning as her sister.  She thought her father-in-law was joking with her, and he was pulling his beard to show disapproval.  Zhao Ji glanced at the hair comb in his hand and said softly: "How did you get this hair comb, Mo Nao?" If any minister had a direct access to his little daughter who was not yet born, he would be too good at exploiting the situation.  When my little daughter is full of innocence, how can it be so easy for her to be exposed to such dirty things?  Roufu then sat up, jumped out of the official father's arms, combed his hair, and said sweetly: "Of course my mother rewarded me, my sister didn't want it, but I thought it was beautiful, so I took it from my sister's hand.  The official father will give it back to me!" He said with a white and tender hand and confidently asked the official father to ask for his property.  Zhao Ji looked at Maode. Maode seemed to be more stable than Roufu, but in fact she was also shy and shy. She was a blunt and honest little girl. This charming appearance really came from the womb, and it was not her fault.  At that moment, he said honestly: "It was rewarded by Empress Yisu. I liked it, so I let her. The empress also said that slaves are stupid and don't know how to ask for good things when they see them. They will have no foundation in the future." Zhao Ji smiled, Empress Yisu is  Imperial Concubine Yi Su, biological mother of two daughters.  She can be considered a beauty, but without a son, her temperament tends to be more focused on amassing wealth.  Relatives of the clan of the Song Dynasty could not participate in politics. If they were born, they would be military ministers, but no one would care about their business.  Yisu's maternal family is considered to be quite popular in Bianliang City, and they are mixed with the distinguished families of the Sanya Imperial Army.  It must have been presented by the maternal family, which is not a big deal in the ban.  Yisu gave it to his two daughters to add dowry to them.  He smiled and handed the jade comb to Roufu, thinking that the matter was over.  Roufu couldn't get his family back to its original state, so he had to ask his good-tempered sister for help.  Maode took the little girl's hair and fixed it for her.  Just at this moment, the careless Roufu said again: "My father-in-law just sent this today, and he talked to the empress for a long time. We were all listening, saying that it was with that Nangui Xiao  Yan Xiao Xianmo is running some kind of football show together, and the husband of seven or eight days has this emerald hair comb official father, what is the football show, can we go to see it? "When it comes to the imperial concubine Yi Su, the two wives  Huan was already beside him and his face was blue.  Being able to serve Zhao Ji closely, he is naturally a confidant of Master Liang.  Now, of course, I know everything about Bianliang.  Yisu's maternal wife now has a rank of military minister, which is regarded as a position in the third government office.  In fact, it's not like running and developing with those general families in Sanya day and night.  This time, these forbidden army generals and their families are running such a football show. How can they not find some backers in the forbidden army? Concubine Yi Su is the favored person around Zhao Ji, and she can speak in a hurry.  This Yisu family has a 10% stake in this football drama.  The past seven or eight days had started well, and thinking that the days of making a fortune were coming later, the family quickly donated such a precious jade hair comb, hoping that Concubine Yisu would support her until the end.  "I didn't expect that this hair comb would be possessed by the little girl Roufu Emperor Ji. I don't know who was stupid enough to please her too much. It happened to be today that Roufu and Maode came to make the officials happy.  Liang Shicheng's power in the forbidden area is considered sufficient, and he can control everyone's mouth, and a slightly more sensible person will not take the initiative to sideline into this muddy water.  But Roufu Liang Shicheng couldn't control it. This little girl had no intentions at all, and she exposed it all in front of the officials today!  How can there be isolation between China and foreign countries??  I hope the officials will just laugh it off and don't take it to heart!  As a result, God did not follow man¡¯s wishes.  Seeing Zhao Ji's face gradually darkened.  Roufu still wanted to act coquettishly and wanted to watch that novel football show. Although Maode was honest and shy, he was much more sensible than the girl. He hurriedly pulled the girl to stop talking nonsense.  Roufu was pulled hard by her sister, and she didn't understand what was going on. She looked at the official father with wide round eyes, and then at her beautiful sister.  If she still bites her fingers, she has a standard cute loli image.  Zhao Ji¡¯s face gradually turned gloomy, as if he was about to drip water.  This matter of reorganizing the forbidden military is really a major event that he, an official who likes to take it easy and doesn't like being a director, can't help but take it to heart and make plans from time to time.  The reason is also very simple, one is the most intuitive.  In the battle to defeat Yan, 20,000 horses were selected from the more than 500,000 registered imperial troops in Bianliang City to accompany them to defeat Yan.  I always knew that the department's imperial army was no longer what it was, but selecting 20,000 capable warriors was still within the scope of our capabilities, right?  Unexpectedly, Cai Jing selected and trained 80,000 forbidden troops a few years ago and had already mobilized all the last semblance of the forbidden troops in the department.  Cai Jing left his post immediately. The 80,000 imperial guards had already left, so who would take care of them?  Without the collective care of the generals like the Western Army, the 80,000 Imperial Guards collapsed without a trace. These Imperial Guards may have settled in the local area and made other livelihoods entirely.  Or go back to Bianliang to visit relatives and friends. Without the direct occupation of military generals in the three government agencies, it is not difficult to make a living in Bianliang, and you can make a living at home without having to be deducted from the service of those generals.  Only a very small part returned to the three-yamen system.  80,000 people were selected by the country as an important armed force to defend the department. After the party struggle, they deliberately turned a blind eye and allowed the 80,000-strong army to disappear without a trace.  But his name is still on the military roll, and the court takes care of him and provides him with food and salary.  The scene of the end of the Northern Song Dynasty has been fully revealed here!  After Cai Jing took over the throne, the first thing he did was to attack his own family and send the 80,000 imperial guards to the Qing army.  Those who return to the Sanya system will continue to be included in the military rolls, and those who are serving in the army and have their whereabouts can just turn a blind eye.  It's not worth offending too many people over this matter.  Only those who leave the army to make a living on their own can be cleared from the military register.  Only then did this appalling thing get smoothed over.  But with such a twist, the Sanya Forbidden Army has completely lost all hope.  It was easy to get together 20,000 people, plus Cai You, a living treasure commander-in-chief, and a bunch of noble generals from aristocratic families.  I took a trip to the north and showed myself to the extreme.  If the 20,000 Dumen Guards were not sent out, I'm afraid they would still have some deterrent effect on groups like the Western Army.  Now from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, it can be seen that the department's imperial army is extremely vulnerable and cannot be used at all!  Zhao Ji is aware of the threat of the rise of the Jurchens, although he does not take it seriously.  Zhao Ji also saw the Western Army becoming unruly, although he didn't really think that the Western Army would really rebel against the separatist regime.  But as an official of the Song Dynasty, for the sake of own safety, he must have a strong army to accompany him.  Although the Shenwu Changsheng Army and the Huanqing Army entered the guard, their combined number was less than 20,000, which was far from enough.  Only the Sanya Forbidden Army can be trained to tens of thousands more.  It can be considered more or less stable.  No matter how troublesome this matter is, it must be carried out in order to maintain the current situation!  The other one is the trouble caused by the training of the Forbidden Army. It is precisely because of these troubles that Zhao Ji never forgets and thinks about it all the time.  The DPRK could no longer withstand major turmoil. Cai Jing was replaced as Prime Minister, and a Cai Mo uprising swept the southeast.  In addition, there was a war against Yan that lasted for more than two years.  The Song Dynasty is already riddled with holes, and no matter how you look at it, it does not look like the ministers who keep chanting and praying for prosperity.  Since Zhao Jie was an emperor who was greedy for pleasure, what he feared most was endless troubles.  It is best if the government remains stable for decades and he governs from the top, and it is best if he ignores the government affairs for several months and still operates normally.  It is precisely because of Zhao Ji's character that once he trusts someone, he can really let go.  Cai Jing has been in power for a long time, and Liang Shicheng has always remained standing, which is proof of this.  But now, the training of the forbidden military is the focus of the DPRK, which has only calmed down a little bit.  Both parties are fighting over this, both covertly and overtly.  Everyone knows that once this matter is mastered, the power in the court will be greatly expanded, and you can firmly gain the upper hand.  Especially after Cai Jing was restored to power, Liang Shicheng, who felt threatened, became even more angry!  Cai Jing¡¯s performance this time satisfied Zhao Ji and saved him a lot of trouble.  I didn't fight hard, I just turned a blind eye.  This gave Zhao Ji a lot more buffer time and less headaches.  If Cai Jing can always be like this, it might be possible for him to stay in phase until he grows old.  And even if Liang Shicheng's party got it, Liang Shicheng's party is a mixed bag and powerful, with all kinds of people.  Like Wang Fu and Li Yanzhi returning?The lucky people who have advanced under the banner of the new party are like the remnants of the old party.  If the only thing they have in common is their opposition to Cai Jing.  At that time, there will definitely be a lot of fighting within the family. I don¡¯t know when this chaos will calm down!  And Zhao Ji also deeply doubts whether this group of people can take up the task of reorganizing the forbidden army, which is related to the Zhao family's country!  Zhao Ji is naturally also planning candidates, so Xiao Yan doesn¡¯t need to mention it for the time being.  What about Wang Zhen?  Are you capable enough and qualified enough to take over the position of Gao Qiu in Sanya?  After asking Liang Shicheng several times, Liang Shicheng hesitated to express Wang Zhen's wish to leave the town of Hedong.  The Jurchens' troops have penetrated deep into the Yunnan states. There are still some troops in Hebei, but the door to the east of Hedong is wide open. Wang Zhen went to guard such a place with no foundation. It was to share the country's worries and to be loyal. Zhao Ji did not  What can I say.  Zhao Ji had also thought about asking Wang Zhen for an interview, and if it was suitable, see if he would be forced to keep him.  But thinking of Gao Qiu, who had followed him loyally for decades and was now dying of illness, he sighed and gave up the idea for the time being.  Now that Gao Qiu was seriously ill, he hurriedly found his successor to take his place.  Why should this old minister, who is about to die of illness, be embarrassed?  Let it go for now and wait until Gao Qiu can't afford it.  In addition to Wang Zhen, Zhao Ji also asked Liang Shicheng if he had any candidates.  Master Liang became more hesitant and must have informed the Privy Council to pay attention.  Tong Guan, the Privy Councilor, has passed away, and now Wu Min is the only one who can help him. The Privy Council has been decommissioned a long time ago, and Wu Min is not familiar with military affairs. Who can he choose?  The longer this matter is delayed, the greater the trouble it may cause in the future.  And if it drags on any longer, Cai Jing might intervene, and the situation will become even more unbalanced by then!  Zhao Ji has really considered whether to just use Xiao Yan?  But Guan Jia's personality weaknesses have been clearly discovered by his top figures.  This person is unfamiliar to him, and he doesn't understand him, no matter how high his grades and reputation are.  Will not use it either.  On the other hand, there are some second-generation ancestors who are doing business. They would rather have a bunch of friends in their own company who can play with him at any time and carefully observe his mood and anger at any time. They will never confront him with his friends, and they are not willing to use it.  A subordinate who is capable but feels strange and can't get along with him.  Liang Shicheng¡¯s response was very simple: isolate himself from China and foreign countries.  ¡° Let Xiao Yan¡¯s name never ring in Zhao Ji¡¯s ears again.  Over time, it naturally faded away, and Zhao Ji, a minister whom everyone favored and trusted, had a very high tolerance. Zhao Ji acquiesced to Liang Shicheng's actions.  With Liang Shicheng isolated there, Zhao Ji naturally had no chance to get acquainted with Xiao Yan.  He was promoted rashly and asked whether Xiao Yan was qualified enough to take on the task of reorganizing the forbidden military, or whether he was Cai Jing's staunch wing, which destabilized the DPRK situation that was barely able to maintain balance with great difficulty.  These were all things that Zhao Ji was afraid of, so he didn't bother to investigate Xiao Yan's thoughts.  According to normal development, Zhao Ji should gradually be unable to remember this character.  Xiao Yan's peace is nothing more than something that can be ignored with a smile.  A romantic emperor should be so casual.  Liang Shicheng took the opportunity to start slowly, and used any pretext to escape Xiao Yanyuan. From then on, Bianliang was clean, and the monarch and ministers no longer had to worry about this person.  It's something that everyone is happy with.  Who would have known that Xiao Yan suddenly made such a big noise first, which made Master Liang Chengdu panic a little.  Wu Min was forced to show up and attack Xiao Yan decisively.  But at this end, the little girl Roufu Diji didn't know how high the heaven and earth were, and she let the officials know what Xiao Yan was doing!  Zhao Ji naturally knew that Liang Shicheng was suppressing Xiao Yan, so he didn't take it seriously.  But Xiao Yan made such a big fuss and was able to establish a relationship with Imperial Concubine Yi Su even in a roundabout way. Now he seems to be running a business that is very profitable and sensational in Bianliang.  Liang Shicheng still kept it a secret, which made Zhao Ji a little angry.  You deal with Xiao Yan on your own, but you even hide this kind of thing.  What is going to happen in Bianliang City that I can know?  So ignorant!  For the first time, Zhao Ji felt a little apprehensive that Liang Shicheng could clamp the banzhong mouth to death like this.  This Liang Shicheng is obviously the second Cai Jing. Looking at Maode's pretty face, he turned a little pale with fright, while Roufu still looked innocent and ignorant of worldly affairs.  Zhao Ji sighed and said softly to his two daughters: "Let's step down and settle down first. The official father has some state affairs to deal with, so he can't take care of you for the moment. When he has free time, I can spend time with you in Gen Yue.  " Roufu was still a little reluctant and pouted.  Princess Maode bowed Yingying to Zhao Ji, pulled the Loli girl and retreated.  The two eunuchs stayed there, their faces pale.  Zhao Ji watched his two daughters leave, and the warm smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared in an instant. He looked at the two confidants and said solemnly: "What else are you hiding from me? What is going on with this football drama?  What happened to Xiao Yan in Bianliang now? Why did Concubine Yisu hear him???Name?  " Although Zhao Ji is kind and generous, he is the emperor after all. Once angry, how can these two eunuchs who rely on Liang Shicheng to dominate? Zhao Ji is also a strong emperor, and powerful ministers like Cai Jing want to step down.  They were so upset that Liang Shicheng couldn't protect them! The two eunuchs immediately fell to the ground, trying to explain what happened to Xiao Yan.  The football drama was invented in Shengfa. This football drama was first spread among the military. Somehow, the children of the generals in the Sanya Forbidden Army fell in love with it, and they immediately connected with Xiao Yan to make this football drama a big deal.  Outside Jinshui Gate, there was a sensation in Bianliang when they joined forces to do this kind of business. People were making money every day. In addition to these descendants of the Forbidden Army generals, the powerful people in the Forbidden Army were also involved. They were originally doing it together with the Forbidden Army generals.  After many years of business, the two eunuchs finally dumped everything, and then they hurriedly kowtowed and begged: "The official is a saint, the juniors don't think this matter is enough to bother Sheng Cong, so they don't have anything to do with it."  A big deal.  Only now did I realize that I was wrong, and I begged the officials to punish me!  " These two eunuchs were quite smart. They didn't rely on Liang Shicheng's order to isolate China and the outside world. They bit the bullet and took them all in first. Not to mention that Liang Shicheng was planning to take decisive measures against Xiao Yan, so that  Hidden Prime Minister still has room for buffering. Even if Master Liang threatens them for being open-minded and ineffective in doing things, there is still room for retreat. Zhao Ji sneered: "If it weren't for this old slave Liang Shicheng, how could you have such courage?  I don't want you to accompany me these days. Go and manage the Jingjun for a few days. When you know your mistake, come back and take charge!  " Zhao Ji has a generous foundation after all. In the previous dynasties and later generations, these two father-in-laws would have been beaten to death. (It was an exception when the eunuchs of the Middle Tang Dynasty were doing things, but now they are lightly let go. Just don't appear in front of Zhao Ji these days, who cares  Did they go to supervise the Jingjun? They all got up in a hurry. One person was still waiting there with sweat on his face, and the other person hurriedly sent an order to find someone else on duty to replace them.  The eunuch didn't dare to breathe, so they bowed and retreated quietly. Zhao Ji naturally didn't care about the two eunuchs, but fell into deep thought. The initial anger towards Liang Shicheng would have passed after a while, if it hadn't been for him.  How could you keep this news from reaching your ears by acquiescing to Liang Shicheng's actions? Now he is starting to talk about the name Xiao Yan again. What kind of talents does this kind of person have to be able to suppress Liang Shicheng in Bianliang City?  Ability? If the man returning to the south is so powerful, the court should be on guard against him. Wouldn't it be even more serious if he were to be used in a big way? But now that the imperial army is in such a state, no one can do it.  The ministers who are generous and capable cannot show their appearance. Even if Wang Zhen was chosen that day, it is difficult for Wang Zhen to be able to control those arrogant and powerful generals and win with the Huanqing Army and Shenwu.  The army is the backbone, and a fully capable army of 40,000 to 50,000 can be considered to stabilize the situation. But with Xiao Yan, based on his ability to start from scratch, this number may be as many as 100,000 or 200,000!  Being able to fight against the imperial army is at the feet of the emperor. It seems that there is no need to worry about the untamed Western army and the rise of the Jurchens. There is no need to live through these troublesome days. Just enjoy the peace and prosperity, and the prosperous Henan situation can still be maintained for a long time.  If my subordinates can't control Xiao Yan, then I can't control him. What about Cai Jing? The court has been running for decades. The only thing that stands out to Zhao Ji most is Xiao Yan.  He came to Bianliang with nothing, and he started this business right away. It seems that he is also a good financial manager. The business methods that the eunuch mentioned just now sound so reasonable. The people of Bianliang are rich.  They rushed to send money to him. Although the profit was unknown, it only lasted for seven or eight days. During this period, Concubine Yisu's wife, who only had a foot in the door, presented her with a jade hair comb worth thirty thousand guan.  Even the points are limited. Doesn't this create a gold mine in Bianliang City with an income of more than 5 million yuan a year? The main reason why Cai Jing used him again is to use him to stabilize the financial situation.  . But in the past two or three years, without Cai Jing's help, Zhao Ji and his leader had ruined the Song Dynasty's finances too much. Cai Jing had no choice but to use some methods, but there was no immediate effect.  , maybe he can still use his strength to make the country's finances less so. People just shake their heads and feel desperate. If Xiao Yan can really do both things, what's the point of taking risks?  Zhao Ji subconsciously shook his head as the habit he had developed over the past few decades took over again.  I am not familiar with Xiao Yan, so if I force him to introduce him and get familiar with him, it will definitely be a huge blow to Liang Shicheng's prestige.  There is nothing pity about Liang Shiwei, but if he goes away, there will be no regrets.People and Cai Jing fought against each other.  The situation in the DPRK is in turmoil again, and Cai Jing is once again powerful and must be won again. Who will replace him?  Another example is Wang Sheo and others. I'm afraid it will be another few years of trouble. The more Zhao Ji thinks about it, the more upset he becomes, and he becomes more and more confused.  I want to use Xiao Yan, but I¡¯m too worried.  There is no need for Xiao Yan, and he feels a little reluctant to give up. He knows well that there are few courtiers who are so capable, and most of them will perfunctoryly make him happy.  However, there must be a few capable people in the court before Xiao Yan can be left alone. I don¡¯t know how long this situation will last for. The longer it drags on, the more trouble it will cause for me as an official. How can I be in such pain?  I am already worried about state affairs, but I rarely have any leisure time!  Zhao Ji complained righteously in his heart. When encountering something that is really difficult to decide, just put aside your temporary concerns and just find a place to be happy.  This is also Zhao Ji's habit.  Immediately he ordered: "Stop and go back to the prison! Let someone tell Master that I will go see her in the next few days! Look for the old dog Liang Shicheng again and say that I summoned him to the prison to question him!"
