Returned to the Song Dynasty and became a faint king

For three days in a row, Zhao Gou stayed with his wife and children in the palace, and Yue Yinping and the others also cherished this rare peaceful time.

All affairs in the court were left to Kou Zhun and Ouyang Xiu. The two brothers Su Shi and Su Che studied government affairs with Kou Zhun and Ouyang Xiu respectively.

In recent years, Bao Zheng studied government affairs with Fan Zhongyan, Su Shi and Su Che studied government affairs with Kou Zhun and Ouyang Xiu respectively. The three of them are all smart children, and they have learned a lot of skills from the great monks in the court.

Now Bao Zheng has finished his studies and gone to practice. Although Su Shi and Su Che are still studying, their studies are more focused on internal affairs, so they have studied for a longer time.

After these years of development, the court no longer needs Zhao Gou that much. As long as Zhao Gou decides on a development direction, Kou Zhun, Ouyang Xiu, and Fan Zhongyan can lead all the ministers to move forward unswervingly. Zhao Gou could just correct the memorial when he had time, but the important task of correcting the memorial was given to Li Shishi.

So Zhao Gou rested for three days due to physical discomfort, and none of the ministers had any objections. Because Zhao Gou personally went to rescue the Second Emperor and was still injured, Zhao Gou often asked for sick leave in recent years.

During the morning court that day, the curtain that had not appeared for a long time appeared again in the court hall. All the ministers were very careful to discuss matters in a low voice, because they knew that the emperor was attending court even though he was sick!

Therefore, if there are many things that the ministers can handle, they will not trouble the emperor anymore. Even if there are things that cannot be handled, they will go to the second prime minister for help and will not trouble the emperor.

However, every minister would write a memorial about the matters he handled and submit it to the emperor for review. The upright officials at the Yushitai would no longer listen to the reports. They would stare at the ministers writing memorials with wide eyes.

The memorial written by that minister was unclear, and they would scold him bloody. Because they said that the ministers who least wanted anything to happen to the emperor had made a lot of money with Zhao Gou over the years.

They are all poor officials, and the annual rewards are their happiest time. Every year when they take the money that the emperor rewarded them with and give it to the old wife, the old wife's old face can smile.

Because of these silver rewards, they can live a happy new year. You can buy abundant New Year goods, the children will have new clothes to wear, and the adult children will have money to marry and have children!

So every year, many wives of Yushi Yanguan kneel on the ground and pray to God to bless their emperor with a long life. With the emperor as the God of Wealth, are you afraid that you will not have a happy life?

Zhao Gou originally wanted Liu E and Cui Yan to enter the palace, but unfortunately they refused. Once you enter the palace gate, you will feel as deep as the sea, and you will feel free in the Hongxiu Song and Dance Hall.

After Mrs. Yao entered the palace, Zhao Gou quietly left the palace. Zhao Gou went to Zhou Dong to find Li Kui, who was studying martial arts, and they were about to go to Jiangnan. These days, Li Kui had been practicing Cheng Yaojin's three-blade ax at the hero Zhou Dong.

However, the hero Zhou Tong has already deduced the Eighteenth Axe for Li Kui, not to mention that Li Kui really has the talent to practice the Eighteenth Axe.

These days, Li Kui brought the [-] axe-soldiers that Zhou Tong had trained for him. They were really at home, and the soldiers' martial arts were also improving by leaps and bounds.

Zhao Gou asked for a token of his Zhou family from the hero Zhou Tong so that he could recognize Zhou Botong, so Zhou Tong gave Zhao Gou a gold knife with the character Zhou engraved on it.

Zhou Tong said to Zhao Gou: Your Majesty, when you see the traitor, give him this golden sword. He will believe you when he sees the golden sword.

After Zhao Gou put the golden sword into his arms, he said to the hero Zhou Tong: Master Zhou Tong, the capital will be left to you. Zhou Tong hurriedly said: Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will definitely protect the capital and increase my efforts in training troops.

After hearing this, Zhao Gou nodded and said nothing more. After clasping his fists at Zhou Tong, he took Li Kui and set off towards the south of the Yangtze River at full speed!

I left Bianjing at dawn and stayed by the Yangtze River in the evening. Zhao Gou took Li Kui to a farmer's house to stay overnight. When the farmer saw Li Kui who looked like Zhong Kui, he decisively refused.

Zhao Gou was speechless when he saw Li Kui's expression, and he didn't know if Pang Qiuxia could like him. If Pang Qiuxia dares to live up to Zhao Gou's hard work, Zhao Gou will definitely skin Li Kui.

(Li Kui: Why did you peel off my skin? Zhao Gou: Who made you look so ugly?)

While Zhao Gou was thinking wildly, a man came out of the village because he was missing a leg. He was attracted by the movement here, and when he saw Li Kui, he couldn't help but yelled "Hello".

The lame man was not afraid of Li Kui either. He looked at Li Kui who looked like a black tower and couldn't help but think of his corps commander. Although his corps commander was not as strong as the man in front of him, it was his honest and rough corps commander who carried him back from the army, otherwise he would have been trampled to death by a war horse.

So the lame man saw that the black tower general Li Kui was very friendly, so he asked: Do the two strong men want to stay for one night?

Zhao Gou quickly saluted and said, "Yes, brother, don't you know it's convenient?" The lame man didn't like the handsome Zhao Gou, so he pulled Li Kui and walked towards his home.

As he walked, he said: "Let's go to my house. I'll ask my old wife to prepare some wine and food. We won't come back until we get drunk." Li Kui grinned and said: Thank you, brother!

When we came to a courtyard, the lame man shouted loudly: "Old lady, hurry up and prepare some food and wine. I want to entertain the two brothers."

I just heard a woman's voice in the room: You have more brothers all day long. Today I will drink wine, and tomorrow I will drink wine. The little money I have saved in the house will be eaten up by you sooner or later.

The lame man smiled sheepishly at Li Kui, and shouted angrily towards the room: "Don't be so nagging. We can still get one or two taels of silver next month. I asked if there are people like me who lost a leg in the war." Yes, I can receive one tael of silver every month from now on. I am really grateful to the emperor, he has not forgotten us.

Perhaps it was because the lame man was angry, or perhaps because he heard that he could receive one tael of silver next month, but the sound of chopping vegetables rang out in the room.

The lame man smiled and took Li Kui and Zhao Gou to the main room. He took out a jar of wine from the cabinet in the back room and said proudly: This is a gift from the emperor. I have always been reluctant to drink it. Today the three of us will drink it. .

Li Kui was overjoyed after hearing this. He didn't have to eat as long as he had wine. Soon a woman with a big belly brought out several plates of side dishes from the kitchen. When the lame man saw his old wife, he couldn't help but said proudly: My mother-in-law has given birth to a son for me. My son will be able to go to school the year after tomorrow. Yes, I heard from the village chief that children don’t need to be in charge of education when they go to school.

After hearing this, Zhao Gou quickly clasped his fists and said: Congratulations to my eldest brother for getting a daughter of gold this year. After hearing this, the lame man said angrily: I still want a son. The village chief said we should have more children. The sixteen states of Yanyun are still waiting to be recovered!

The pot-bellied woman quickly said: Little brother, don't be like your elder brother. He only thinks about regaining the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture all day long. You drink and eat meat as soon as possible.

After hearing this, Zhao Gou laughed and said: What my eldest brother just said is still true. We need to have more children to regain the sixteen states of Yanyun. After speaking, Zhao Gou took out five taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the woman and said: Thank you sister-in-law for your hospitality. A little kindness is not disrespectful.

The lame man saw it and said displeasedly: "You are not allowed to accept that money." After hearing this, the woman ignored the man. She smiled and quickly took the money and went back to the room!

She is not afraid of the men in her family. My mother gave birth to a son for their family, and I am the benefactor of his family and his ancestors.
