Mrs. Cao Empress Dowager Cao sat in the backyard of the Zhao Mansion with a sad face.
For her, it was a world-shattering subversion for the master of the harem, who was once under one person and above ten thousand people, to fall to the level of a wealthy and idle person.
"Those rebellious officials and thieves will die a good death."
"They are all wolf-hearted, forgetting how kind the officials are to them."
Such cursing lasts at least two or three hours a day.
The newly appointed King of Xiangyang, Zhao Xi, played alongside Princess Fukang. In contrast, the attitude of the two of them is much more normal.
"Invincibility begins with offering sacrifices to the ancestors"
Although he lost the dragon chair, Zhao Xi didn't feel much regret.
He was still young, and he didn't have time to enjoy the joy of being an emperor. After all, he was just a "spectator" in the court before, and the decisions were made by the ministers and Empress Dowager Cao.
And staying alone in the dragon chair for a long time is actually very boring, especially for children.
As for Princess Fukang, she is even more indifferent.
There are not many princesses in the Northern Song Dynasty who are particularly "pungent". Even if they are so-called unruly and self-willed, they are only at the level of ordinary women, not the kind of dominatrix who is always slapped by servants or pushed to compost.
So the mentality of the two of them seemed particularly good.
The only inconvenience is that they have no way to leave Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Speaking of Prince Zhao's Mansion, it was originally the residence of 'Zhao Shu', and he gave it to Zhao Xi after he was pushed onto the dragon chair by Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang.
After cursing for a while, Mrs. Cao found that the siblings were chatting happily, and she was dissatisfied immediately, and said angrily: "Huanger, Fukang, are you two so addicted to pleasure that you are willing to be placed under house arrest?" Is this?"
Zhao Xi stood up, cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Aniang, the matter has come to this point, and it cannot be undone by manpower. Besides, it is not too uncomfortable to be a rich and unrestrained man."
"How can you be so unambitious? If your father is alive on earth, he must be" Cao Shi covered his chest and coughed, with a sad face.
Seeing her mentioning her father, Zhao Xi sighed and stopped arguing.
Princess Fukang remained silent, for fear of catching fire on herself.
Seemingly thinking of Zhao Zhen, her husband, Cao Shi also calmed down, and the atmosphere seemed to become a little more relaxed.
Just at this moment, a servant approached and said in a low voice: "Eldest lady, young lady, sir, two noblemen came to the door and said they would come to visit."
Mrs. Cao waved her hand angrily and said, "No see."
The servant hesitated for a while, then whispered: "Miss, I think it's better to meet you. Because if the villain is not mistaken, the nobleman should be Lu Zhenren and one of his wives and concubines."
The three of them cast their gazes over suddenly, with different expressions.
Especially Mrs. Cao, there was both resentment and panic in her eyes. After hesitating for a while, she pretended to be calm and indifferent and said, "Then let's meet and invite him in."
The three of them immediately adjusted their appearance, even the Cao family, who had a prejudice against Lu Sen, was no exception.
After a while, Lu Sen took Xianxian into the backyard, bowed slightly to the three of them, and said with a smile, "Master Lu came to disturb me, please forgive me."
Zhao Xi and Princess Fukang immediately got up to return the salute, while Mrs. Cao was still sitting, she stared at Lu Sen, and snorted coldly: "Realist Lu came here, did you come up with some ideas to torment us mother and son. "
Zhao Xi and Princess Fukang's complexions immediately changed drastically, looking at their mother's expression very tangled.
Seems a little angry, more helpless.
Lu Xianxian pursed her lips and smiled, thinking that the old woman was really interesting. People who seek their own death are rare.
Fortunately, Lu Sen didn't care about it, he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if we sit down."
Zhao Xi nodded immediately: "Your Majesty Lu, please be polite."
I have to say that the Zhao family's education is still good, or in other words, Zhao Zhen's education is good. Although he was kicked out of the dragon chair, Zhao Xi didn't resent Lu Sen. Instead, he felt relieved and felt that he didn't have to suffer. It's a good thing that there's so much pressure.
Lu Senluo sat down, facing the Cao family, while Zhao Xi and Princess Fukang stood aside consciously.
Xianxian just stood behind Lu Sen.
"I know the queen mother is very angry, and even wants to eat Lu's flesh and blood to vent her hatred."
As soon as these words came out, Cao's expression became a little uneasy.
The appearance of Zhao Xi and Princess Fukang??
She whispered: "Officer, although mother and concubine are not very powerful, it is still possible to fight for you, why don't you bring us?"
Lu Sen went to 'Daqin' this time, knowing that she was going to 'go to war'. She didn't want to be alone at home and worry about it. If something happened, she would die with Lu Sen.
Lu Sen waved his hands comfortingly and said, "I'll bring Xianxian and Jingjing, plus Kunkun, Yaoyao, and Shi Lei. Not to mention invincible, but at least I can protect myself, so don't worry."
"But" Yang Jinhua still seemed a little worried.
"On the contrary, I am worried that accidents will happen at home." Lu Sen sighed softly: "Now the whole world knows that there is a peach born in my system family, and everyone wants to live forever. It is not surprising that some of them have ulterior motives."
Hearing this, Yang Jinhua nodded: "The concubine knows about it, officials, please rest assured about everything at home, I will definitely manage the house in an orderly manner."
The next day, Lu Sen started the solar ship, set off with the designated personnel, and headed straight for 'Daqin'.
Now that the hibiscus tree provides a steady supply of spiritual energy, Lu Sen has already accumulated a lot of spiritual energy, and it won't hurt his bones if he spends it extravagantly.
More importantly, the solar ship itself is a very powerful 'magic weapon' and 'spectacle'. In addition to the attributes of a spectacle, it also has a strong attack power.
For example, the solar ship's 'corona irradiation' can be regarded as a powerful group killing skill.
The departure of the solar boat stunned the people of the entire city of Hangzhou, and then clever businessmen quickly went to neighboring cities to buy a large amount of candles and lamp oil.
No matter how many days the solar ship is away, this is a rare opportunity to make money.
When the solar ship was heading towards the 'Daqin', the court had already quarreled.
Zhao Zongshi sat on the dragon chair, smiling happily.
Wang Anshi, below, is arguing fiercely with Su Shi.
"Let's not talk about the problem of too many soldiers in my Great Song Dynasty, the majority of mediocrity in the court." Wang Anshi stared at Su Shi and said loudly: "Just keeping them has already consumed more than 80% of my Great Song Dynasty's annual income. The money was all given to the warriors and officials, and the common people benefited very little. If we don¡¯t go to clean up the government, our Great Song Dynasty will have near-term worries.¡±
"I agree with strict rectification of bad governance, but Wang Shilang's approach does not agree." Su Shi clasped his fists and said without showing weakness: "We have finally defeated Xixia, and Khitan is still in the north. At this juncture, we must reduce military resources. Reducing the number of troops and driving them back to the countryside, what do you make those old soldiers who were born and died on the battlefield think? At that time, the morale of the army will fluctuate, so what if the Khitans fight over?"
Wang Anshi snorted: "Su Siwu has never been on the battlefield, and he doesn't know anything about military affairs. I can say for sure that Khitan would never dare to attack us."
Su Shi had just been transferred from Hangzhou to the imperial court less than a month ago. He had a very high official position and was already a secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. The Ministry of Punishment in the Northern Song Dynasty was one of the departments with real power.
He was young and energetic at this time, and he laughed on the spot when he heard the words: "Wang Shilang has indeed fought a war, and he won a big victory by sending hundreds of thousands of soldiers to death for nothing. Su Mou admires it very much."
As the saying goes, hitting people doesn't hit people in the face Wang Anshi's words are straightforward and stubborn enough, but Su Shi is no worse than the former, and this opening is to poke people's hearts.
When Wang Anshi heard this, he was so angry that his head hurt, but he couldn't refute.
No way, this is the only black spot since he became an official, and it is also a real mistake.
Seeing that Wang Anshi was speechless by himself, Su Shi proudly continued to "chase" and said: "Besides, your young crop method is really not a means for local officials to harvest farmers' money?"
Wang Anshi snorted: "Harvesting farmers? Wang didn't act like that! It seems that Su Siwu doesn't know the sufferings of the people. Farmers all over the world have been suffering from high profits for a long time. Borrowing one and paying back three is a common thing. The young crop law is really for the sake of the people."
Su Shi snorted: "Su was born in a poor family, and he also planted seedlings in the fields. When he was an official of his parents in Hangzhou, he was even more hands-on. What this farmer was thinking was very clear. But someone also knew better. What kind of harm will it cause to farmers if it is implemented.¡±
"What's the harm?" Wang Anshi asked angrily.
"Local officials can take advantage of the peasants in a fair and honest way when they get the chicken feather orders and arrows." Su Shi raised his eyebrows like Lu Sen, and his appearance was full of sarcasm: "Improving the government needs to be adapted to the time and place. Wang Shilang is big and transforms it, but I don't know Beiju Nanzhi, it's ridiculous!"
"Then Su Siwu has a good idea?" Wang Anshi laughed angrily, and asked back.
Su Shi was silent for a while, and said: "No!"
"Then it seems that Su Shi is only mediocre. He only knows how to find fault, but he doesn't know how to do practical things. It's interesting!" Wang Anshi squinted at Su Shi, and reversed the disadvantage in one fell swoop.
Su Shi moved his lips, but he didn't know how to refute. A sullen breath was held in his heart, which was extremely uncomfortable.
All the other officials were watching the play, especially the senior ministers such as Pang Taishi and Runan County King, their faces were full of joy.
At this time, Zhao Zongshi on the dragon chair, that is, Zhao Shu, said: "The two Qings are all right. In fact, my brother-in-law has already told me about the bad government of this dynasty. He also said that because of this matter, everyone The Qing family, there will definitely be a lot of quarrels in the future."
All the ministers looked over in surprise.
Daoist Lu even 'anticipated' this?Well, I only know how to find fault, but I don't know how to do practical things. It's interesting! "Wang Anshi squinted at Su Shi, and brought back the disadvantage in one fell swoop.
Su Shi moved his lips, but he didn't know how to refute. A sullen breath was held in his heart, which was extremely uncomfortable.
All the other officials were watching the play, especially the senior ministers such as Pang Taishi and Runan County King, their faces were full of joy.
