I left the court angrily, and a group of eunuchs and maids followed me without even daring to breathe. I didn't go anywhere else, but walked towards Chengde Hall. Because I know that ministers will definitely come over to report the results of their discussions to me later.

After a while I returned to Chengde Hall, and I said to the eunuchs and maids behind me: No one is allowed to follow me. I walked into the Chengde Hall and saw Yue Yinping, dressed as a palace maid, cleaning the house with another palace maid. It should have been arranged by Shao Chengzhang. He was afraid that Yue Yinping was not familiar with the palace alone and asked a maid to accompany her. Shao Chengzhang knew that Yue Yinping could possibly ascend to the lower post, so how could he wait until now if he didn't fawn over him?

When the two of them saw me coming in angrily, the palace maid immediately knelt down. Yue Yinping still stood there indifferently, while the kneeling palace maid pulled her clothes. So Yue Yinping knelt down reluctantly, and the two of them said: See the emperor.

I looked at the reluctant Yue Yinping and felt very happy. I'm so happy to see Yue Yinping unhappy. Am I sick? I said: Everyone, get up and continue doing your work. So the two of them said: Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor. Then the two of them got up and continued to wipe the dust on the desk.

Sitting at my desk, I thought to myself that it would actually be good to let Fang La bring trouble to the corrupt officials, landlords, and gentry in the south. The south has lived too comfortably these years, and they would not have thought of what would happen if the Yuan and Jin armies attacked across the Yellow River and entered the rich south. They are still singing songs in the backyard across the river!

I would rather be a peace dog than a man in troubled times, which simply cannot summarize the animal behavior of Yuan Bing and Jin Bing. Sometimes they would round up a city's people and massacre them, killing all men, women, and children. There are many things like not sealing the sword for ten days, not sealing the sword for a hundred days, and setting fire after the massacre. According to historical records, they killed as many as three million Han farmers!

These beasts, when they meet me this time, let them know how powerful my Song Dynasty is. I must destroy their country for them, and then destroy their species and exterminate their descendants. Only then can I relieve the hatred in my heart.

While I was thinking wildly, Kang Lu outside the door shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Lieutenant Wang asks to see you." I know that the ministers in the court must have discussed the result and asked Wang Anshi to come in and report. So I glanced at Yue Yinping and the palace maid, and motioned them to go work in the back. The two of them quickly got up and went to the back where I usually slept during my lunch break to clean up.

After watching the two of them leave, I said loudly: Come in! After the door of Chengde Hall opened, Kou Zhun led a young man who looked like a civil servant in. I know this young boy. He is the boy who went to court the day before yesterday to plead for Yue Fei and said that Yue Fei's back was engraved with the four words "loyalty and serving the country." I don't know who's son, but he looks powerful, and he also has a handsome face and a very wise look. At first glance, he is a capable person.

The two of them came to me and knelt down and said: See your majesty. I said to them: Flat body. Wang Anshi is still a good minister who serves the country and the people, so I did not make things difficult for him.

After the two of them got up, I said: How come you two are the only ones here? Have you reached any conclusion? Wang Anshi hurriedly took a step forward and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, after consultation with the ministers and others, General Xin You'an led [-] troops to suppress the rebellion." After saying this, he pointed to the young man beside him.

I stood up with a roar and pointed at the young man and said: This is General Xin Qiji and Xin who dared to rush into the Jin army camp with fifty people and capture the traitor Zhang Anguo. Actually, I don’t know Xin Qiji’s name very well, but there weren’t many generals in the Song Dynasty named Xin! So I asked again.

Xin Qiji immediately knelt down and said: Your Majesty, it is Wei Chen. I didn’t expect that Your Majesty has also heard about Wei Chen’s deeds. Why don't I know Xin Qiji? It's Zhao Gou's fault. He didn't take Xin Qiji seriously. Xin Qiji is the general I most want to have, even more than Yue Fei. I have wanted to look for him for a long time, but I didn't expect him to come to my door today.

Xin Qiji was also unlucky. He happily escaped from the siege of the Jin and Yuan Kingdoms. I thought I would be able to accomplish something great when I returned to the court, but it was a pity that I went through all kinds of hardships to defect. As a result, not only was he not reused, but he was also given to a civil servant with sesame seeds and mung beans.

I immediately came to Xin Qiji, helped Xin Qiji up and said, "Brother Xin, is it really you?" Why not call him Brother Xing? Because he looks smaller than me and can’t swallow it! The words "Xindi" put Xin Qiji to death. He had thought about many scenarios of meeting the emperor alone, but he had never thought of such a scenario.

Xin Qiji said fearfully: Your Majesty, you have admitted the wrong person! I said: I didn't admit my mistake, I will recognize you as my younger brother today. Xin Qiji was startled, and immediately knelt down and said: I don't dare, how can I become the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor?

I said: That's right, being my favorite is really useless, I still want to seal you as a wolf and live in Xu!

Xin Qiji was very excited after hearing this. It was his lifelong dream to seal the wolf as Xu, but he didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would actually understand him. So he immediately said: The general will definitely live up to the emperor's high expectations, and I will definitely be able to drink from Ma Hanhai.

Hearing Xin Qiji say this, I burst out laughing. Then he helped Xin Qiji up and said: "Drinking the vast sea of ​​horses is not enough. I like Liu Che's words very much: All the sun and moon shine on are Han soil." After hearing this, Xin Qiji became very ambitious. He knelt down again and said, "I will not hesitate to be crushed to death for your majesty's wish." I helped Xin Qiji up again and said, "Okay, I will make you the emperor's younger brother when the time comes." Xin Qiji knelt down again and said: Thank you Lord for your kindness.

I helped Xin Qiji up again, and when I was about to say something else, I was interrupted by Wang Anshi. Just listen to Wang Anshi say: To report to the emperor, let’s solve the immediate problem first!

I looked at Wang Anshi and immediately had a bold idea in my mind. I said loudly: All of you, retreat, and we will kill you within a hundred steps. Kang Daban sent someone to deliver lunch to the ministers above the court. Kang Lu immediately said: "Old slave, take your orders." Then the Chengde Palace was completely surrounded, and Yue Yinping and the palace maid also retreated through the back door.

Wang Anshi and Xin Qiji were surprised and confused by my surprise. Wang Anshi said: What happened to the emperor? I looked at Wang Anshi and said: Taiwei, how are the results of your reform?

When Wang Anshi heard me asking him about the reform, he immediately knelt down and said: To the emperor, the road to reform is long and arduous, without the emperor's support! After saying this, he kowtowed violently. He was truly a good minister serving the country and the people!

I helped Wang Anshi up and said: I know the difficulties of your reform, but do you know why your reform is so difficult? Wang Anshi immediately said: Please give me your advice. In fact, this was Wang Anshi's disguised attempt to test my understanding of the reform.

I looked at Wang Anshi and said: The reason why your reform has repeatedly hit the wall in recent years is because of the troubles secretly caused by the land-owning bureaucrats and the powerful gentry. In addition, you have made too many changes over the years, so you can’t do even one well. You should know that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten of them.

After hearing this, Wang Anshi immediately knelt down and said excitedly: Your Majesty, please show me a clear way. I helped Wang Anshi up and said: How about you go to the south to implement your major reform this time? Wang Anshi said: What method should be implemented in the south? I said to Wang Anshi: When you go to the south, implement the Farmland Equalization Tax Law and the Young Crops Law.

Wang Anshi was overjoyed after hearing this. These two reforms were his most promising ways to strengthen the country and enrich the people, and they were the ones he came up with after going through a lot of hardships. These are also the two changes he most wants to implement. These two reforms are a good way to truly benefit the country and the people!

Wang Anshi said excitedly: Where does the south your majesty refer to? South of the Yellow River? Peat, why didn't you say south of the Great Wall?

I said to Wang Anshi: South of this, it depends on where Fang La can capture! If he captures it, you can go there to reform.

After Wang Anshi heard this, his face was full of doubts. He really didn't understand how his place of reform could be related to Fang La. He really couldn't figure it out, so he said: Please let the emperor explain to Wei Chen what relationship this Fang La has with Wei Chen's reform.

I looked at Wang Anshi with contempt and said: Where does the resistance to your reform come from? Wang Anshi immediately said: Landlords and gentry! I said to him: Think about the relationship between the landlord and the gentry and Fang La?
