Returned to the Song Dynasty and became a faint king

After saying goodbye to Bao Zheng's sister-in-law, I took Bao Zheng, Liang Hongyu and the others and left together. After a while, we returned to Liang Hongyu’s residence and settled in Liang Hongyu’s house. I took Bao Zheng and left again.

Bao Zheng followed me like this. Along the way, Bao Zheng looked very young and mature. Unlike ordinary children who always ask questions about anything new they see, Bao Zheng didn't say anything along the way.

When I brought Bao Zheng to the palace. Bao Zheng, who acted young and mature all the way, fell to his knees on the ground and cried: I don't want to be a eunuch. When I left, my sister-in-law told me that she would use the one hundred taels of silver to marry me a wife. ! Woo woo woo...

Bao Zheng's move shocked us all. Shao Chengzhang and I looked at each other and laughed. It just happened to alert the eunuchs and maids in the distance. When they saw me, they hurried over, knelt down and shouted: See the emperor.

The sound of meeting the emperor shocked Bao Zheng who was kneeling on the ground. I became a teacher, and actually became the current emperor. The young and mature Bao Heizi immediately got up, laughed twice, and then stood behind me again.

I said to the palace ladies and eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground: Get up and go about your business. Then I left with Shao Chengzhang and Bao Zheng.

When we arrived at Chengde Hall, a eunuch came over immediately and reported: Right Prime Minister Ouyang has been waiting for me for a long time.

After hearing this, I immediately said: Go and invite the right minister in quickly, and then move a chair. I know that Ouyang Xiu must be delivering the list of selected ministers when he comes this time.

After a while, Ouyang Xiu came in. After he saluted me, I asked him to sit on the chair. After Ouyang Xiu handed me the list of selected ministers, he sat on the chair and waited. What would he say after I read it?

I took the list handed over by Ouyang Xiu and saw fifty or sixty names written on it. The name at the top was Fan Zhongyan, who was idle at home. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Xiu was so persuasive that he could persuade Fan Zhongyan, who was idle at home, to come back.

I said loudly: OK, great. Fan Zhongyan: Lord Fan can return to the court. I am so lucky to the people and to me!

Ouyang Xiu immediately said: Yes, Your Majesty, let Master Fan take over the position of prime minister! Fan Zhongyan is Ouyang Xiu's nobleman, and Fan Zhongyan has a favor for Ouyang Xiu.

After hearing this, I said to Ouyang Xiu: You can be your right minister with peace of mind. If Fan Aiqing has a better position for him, let him be the Privy Councilor!

Ouyang Xiu immediately knelt down and said: Your Majesty. I helped Ouyang Xiu and asked him to sit down. I took the list and continued reading, and saw that the second name was actually Su Xun. Isn't Su Xun the father of Su Shi and Su Che?

So I asked Ouyang Xiu: Is this Su Xun Su Mingyun from Sichuan? Ouyang Xiu immediately said: It is this person who has made great achievements in economics. I think it is worthy of use.

I nodded to agree with Ouyang Xiu's statement. I took the list and looked down, and it turned out to be Li Gefei. Isn't this Li Qingzhao's father?

So I asked Xiang Ouyang Xiu: Is there anything unusual about Li Gefei? Ouyang Xiu immediately said: Li Gefei has written hundreds of thousands of words (Book of Rites) and has done a lot of research on etiquette. I think he can be the Minister of Rites.

I nodded again, agreeing with Ouyang Xiu's statement. I looked at the list again, but unfortunately this time I couldn't find anyone I knew.

So I handed the list to Ouyang Xiu, and then said to him: You can discuss the people on the list with Mr. Fan, the Privy Councilor, and then allocate their official positions as appropriate. I will not give random orders. Adjustments will be made later depending on ability.

Ouyang Xiu immediately said: I accept the order and thank you.

I said to Ouyang Xiu again: I heard that Su Xun's two sons, Su Shi and Su Che, are very smart. When you have time, I will ask Su Xun to bring them over for me to see, and let them compete with my eldest apprentice.

Without waiting for Ouyang Xiu to speak, I added: I also heard that Li Gefei's daughter Li Qingzhao is also a very smart person. When you have time, ask Li Gefei to bring it over for me to take a look at.

After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu immediately said: It's the emperor. Does the emperor have any other instructions?

He said to Ouyang Xiu: Go and bring Master Fan over to me. I want to have a good chat with him tonight. After Ouyang Xiu accepted the order, he stood up and left.

Now only Bao Zheng, me, and the old god Shao Chengzhang are left in the room. After Bao Zheng listened for so long, his heart became calm!

When he saw me looking at him with contempt. Bao Zheng's black face turned red, but no one noticed that Bao Zheng's black face turned red. Bao Zheng touched his nose and said: Teacher, it was you who asked Master Kou to write down in the court that the emperor broke the law and the common people were equally guilty?

After hearing this, I said: If not a teacher, who else could he be? Why is this sentence wrong? After hearing this, Bao Zheng immediately knelt down in front of me and said: Master, what you said is so right! Shang Jun's reform was for the sake of equality for everyone. This is a good strategy to strengthen the country, the army, and the people!

It seems that this sentence has a huge impact on people who study law. I finally changed from a teacher to a master. It’s not easy! Finally, he successfully accepted his great apprentice.

Seeing that it was already evening, I sent the eunuchs to serve food. Soon a table of exquisite food was served, and I asked Bao Zheng to eat with me.

Bao Zheng has been starving since he was busy in the afternoon. After receiving my order, he immediately started eating hungrily. Looking at his eating appearance, I smiled and started eating too.

As I absorbed a large amount of Yuan Yin from Liang Hongyu's body last night, the spiritual power in my body became much stronger, and my appetite increased a lot, but my strength doubled.

After we had dinner, I took Bao Zheng for a walk in the Imperial Garden. The two of us chatted while walking. After chatting, I found that Bao Zheng only cared about the law and judging cases. He was not that attentive to other doctrines.

What a waste of a good brain. We can't let him give up on himself like this. I plan to let Fan Zhongyan teach him for a while first. When Shen Kuo comes back, let Shen Kuo train him well.

Bao Zheng must be trained into an all-powerful minister. The future prime minister of the country will be Bao Zheng! When the time comes, let Su Shi and Su Che cooperate with Bao Zheng, and Bao Zheng will definitely become a prime minister like Premier Zhou. After recruiting Li Qingzhao to become Bao Zheng's good wife, wouldn't Bao Zheng want to fly?

By the time they walked around the imperial garden and returned to Chengde Hall, Fan Zhongyan had been waiting there for a long time. When Fan Zhongyan saw me walking in with Bao Zheng, he immediately knelt down and said: See the Emperor.

I quickly came to Fan Zhongyan and helped him up. He said, "Fan Aiqing, there's no need to be polite. I asked you to come because I have something to ask you. Let's sit down and chat."

Then I took Fan Zhongyan and Bao Zheng to the place where I was reviewing the memorial, and I ordered someone to find a chair for Fan Zhongyan so that he could sit down. After all, Fan Zhongyan is about fifty years old. Even in my previous life, he was considered an old man! Bao Heizi was standing aside! Standing more often helps little kids grow taller.

As soon as Fan Zhongyan sat down, I couldn't wait to ask Fan Zhongyan: "Fan Aiqing, now the country is in danger, do you have any way to save the Song Dynasty?"

Fan Zhongyan immediately said: Your Majesty, aren't you already doing it? You punish corrupt officials, and I heard that you support Sir Wang's reform. Reuse generals such as Yue Fei, Xin Qiji, and Han Shizhong.

After hearing this, I said with shame: What is the use of these? You see, these ministers in the court are all forming cliques to pursue their own interests, and they will die in a dream without any sense of sorrow. They will eventually die in peace and contentment.

After Fan Zhongyan heard this, he immediately got up from his chair with excitement and knelt down on the ground with a thump, shouting loudly: Your Majesty is wise!

I quickly helped Fan Zhongyan up and said, "Now Mr. Wang is going to the south to carry out political reform. He won't be able to come back for a few years!" Things above the court depend on you, Mr. Kou, and Mr. Ouyang! The three of you should work hard to rectify the bad atmosphere.

Just go ahead and do it, I will support you. If it doesn't work, I will make another Emperor's Sword for you. The Shang Fang Sword will be used by Mr. Wang when he goes to the south to reform.

After hearing this, Fan Zhongyan immediately said: "I don't need it now." If the Emperor supports us like this and we still want the Emperor's Sword, then I am too incompetent!

I laughed twice and said: Okay, our monarch and ministers are united, not only to recover the lost land, but also to secure more land for the people to cultivate.
