Chapter 227 The growth of a son... begins with challenging his father's authority——

squeak

Because today was not a court meeting, Zhao Shi's carriage entered the palace directly and drove until it was dozens of meters away from the Chui Gong Hall before being asked to stop by the guards in front of the palace. Zhao Shi got off the car and walked towards the Chui Gong Hall with Ouyang Xiu. Ouyang Xiu thought

We walked all the way, until we reached the Chui Gong Hall twenty or thirty meters away, but still couldn't figure it out, and even stopped.

"Master Ouyang?"

Zhao Shi turned to look at him,

Ouyang Xiu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Highness, I still think it is not a good time for you to ban the marriage of close relatives today."

"oh?"

Zhao Shi simply stopped and looked like he was listening attentively. Ouyang Xiu took Zhao Shi to the side and stood behind a pillar and said: "I know what your Highness means. This ban on close relatives marrying is obviously better than prohibiting close relatives from marrying."

The promotion of the veteran to the Department of Cultural Supervision is eye-catching. If someone blocks it, if you throw this out, it is indeed possible that others will ignore the veteran and allow the veteran to be promoted easily, but..."

"Your Highness,"

Ouyang Xiu looked at Zhao Shi seriously, as if he had the glint of a young man in his eyes: "The goal of you and me has never been promotion. The promotion is just to make it easier for you and me to change the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the veteran thought that compared with

It is more important for the veteran to be promoted to the position of Quan Zhi of the Cultural Supervision Department, or how to smoothly implement the ban on consanguineous marriages, early marriages, and widow remarriage. And if this is used as a cover to promote the veteran official position, although the veteran official position will be promoted, it will inevitably be the first step to destroy you and me.

The plan was exposed..."

Is this Ouyang Xiu?

Zhao Shi looked at the old man in front of him faintly. Is this the reform pioneer who Fan Zhongyan wanted to kick to death? The impulsive and reckless Ouyang Xiu?

Ouyang Xiu continued: "So, I still feel that you and I should make some more preparations, instead of intensifying the conflict so early just to cover my promotion. At the very least, I feel that you and I should first observe those ordinary couples.

With close relatives, the difference between an ordinary married woman aged 13 or 14 and a married woman aged 18 is a reminder and calls for reform."

even,

Ouyang Xiu felt that Zhao Shi should perhaps accumulate strength. Anyway, Zhao Zhen only had a few years... Bah... By then, when Zhao Shi ascends the throne and becomes emperor, wouldn't it be easier to reform?

It's a pity...

Ouyang Xiu ignored one issue, that is, although Zhao Zhen was indeed seriously ill at the beginning of the year, as if his dragon body was ill, but with the appearance of Zhao Shi, he suddenly relaxed and it was obvious that he already lived a long life.

Now, who can afford to wait for the long-lived Zhao Zhen?

Besides...

Zhao Shi shook his head and said: "What you said is not unreasonable. However, firstly, you and I really need to divert attention from the ban on close relatives marrying, so as to increase the possibility of you becoming a powerful official of the Cultural Supervision Department. Secondly,

Come on, you and I don’t actually need to observe and make a table. As long as you are willing, who doesn’t have examples of countless couples, dozens of couples, consanguineous marriages, marriages at the age of thirteen or fourteen? They just don’t want to see it, they don’t need us at all.

This proves again and again how harmful these are to women and even men.”

Ouyang Xiu was silent,

Why did he change his mind after hearing Zhao Shi's first reaction last night? One of the reasons why he changed his mind in just one night was that he himself was a person who prayed to change the Song Dynasty, and the more important reason was that fundamentally

There was no need for large-scale observation. He just went back and chatted with his step-in-law for a few words. After learning more about the marriage situation, he naturally came to a theory similar to Zhao Shi's... shocking.

so,

What Zhao Shi said was not wrong at all, but he still felt that the reform was brought up so early and so poorly prepared, especially under the hands of the old emperor Zhao Zhen. He always felt that this reform would still end in failure. Zhao Shi

Seeing what Ouyang Xiu was thinking, he patted Ouyang Xiu on the shoulder and said: "Master Ouyang, while you ignore that the official family is not the official family who was once seriously ill, you also ignore that... I... am not Fan Zhongyan."

Say it!

Ouyang Xiu shuddered,

Zhao Shidu turned around and left,

He slowly came back to his senses and touched his old face, which had changed from smooth to ridged. Not only that... the official family was not an official family, Zhao Shi was not Fan Zhongyan, but he himself... was not... the same person he once was, but...

Looking at the back of Zhao Shi walking away, Ouyang Xiu smiled and stepped to follow... I can still... change back.

In front of Chui Gong Hall,

Zhao Shi and Ouyang Xiu were probably the last to arrive. When Zhao Shi arrived nearby, they were Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Di Qing, Jia Changchao... By the way, there was also Liu Hang, the political advisor, who Zhao Shi always ignored.

He was extremely ignored, and the others didn't react at all. Di Qing didn't even hesitate, and strode to greet him.

Zhao Shi originally thought it was nothing. After chatting with Xiao Guanyin last night, he saw Di Qing coming to greet him... and then looked back at Ouyang Xiu who was following him. Isn't this just right... a princeling?

Look at those people over there,

Although Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, and Han Qi stand closer than the others, and the others are basically led by them, there will be an obvious difference between these three people, and then Han Qi will dislike Jia Changchao, but

From time to time, he said a few words, this is the emperor's party. Wen Yanbo would whisper a few words to Liu Hang. Although Liu Hang rarely spoke back, he just lowered his head and listened, but this was the husband's party.

Zhao Shi shook his head,

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, he obviously, indeed, gradually and unknowingly fell into a kind of kind that was useless to the entire Song Dynasty, and even to everyone.

, in the so-called "party struggle".

"Your Highness."

Di Qing came over, and as the privy envoy and father-in-law, he showed great respect to Zhao Shi, the governor of Kaifeng. Zhao Shi had no choice but to nod slightly, then chatted with Di Qing and Ouyang Xiu and waited.

soon,

Zhang Maoze disappeared all night, and then appeared outside the palace more cautiously and said: "Your Majesty has arrived, please come in."

Said,

Subconsciously glanced at Zhao Shi,

He had obviously received the 300,000 guan returned to him by Zhao Shi. Zhang Mao did not dare to touch any of these 300,000 guan, nor did he dare to accept it. Naturally, he could only become more cautious and try to

If you try to please Zhao Shi from another angle, at least you can't make Zhao Shi hate yourself.

Zhao Shi nodded to him. Zhang Mao Ze may have received some so-called "filial piety", but Zhao Shi had a good impression of him for the time being, and then he followed the crowd into the Chui Gong Hall. In the Chui Gong Hall, Zhao Zhen

He was looking down at a memorial. When everyone came in, he asked without raising his head: "It's frosty this year. Kaifeng is okay, but it's cold in Hebei East Road, Hebei West Road... and Yongxing Military Road."

Disasters happen frequently, how to deal with them?" As he said that, he raised his head and glanced at Zhao Shi...

Zhao Shi had to doubt...

Could he be deliberately showing off his expertise so that I can respect him?

However, this is also the difference between the Xiaochao meeting and the Dachao meeting. The Xiaochao meeting has a lot less red tape, but it is obvious that this is the time to talk about serious things. Wen Yanbo stood up without hesitation and said: "Still the law, from Chengdu Prefecture

Road, Jinghu South Road... and other places, first allocate food, and then..."

Zhao Shi did not participate in these matters, and no one asked him for his opinion on these matters, so he listened quietly until...

Zhao Zhen glanced at the well-behaved Zhao Shi and said: "Yesterday, Kaifeng Governor mentioned that he wanted copyright protection to be included in the law and wanted to establish a new agency called the Cultural Supervision Department. I agreed, but this is

Gentlemen... let’s discuss who to choose as the first Quan Zhi!”

without hesitation,

Di Qing stepped forward and said, "I propose that Ouyang Xiu take up this position." Di Qing was actually more taciturn than Zhao Shi in the past.

As a party, there are obviously not many people in the party, so we can only let Di Qing take the lead.

really,

Wen Yanbo, Han Qi, Zhao Zhen and others all looked at Di Qing and Ouyang Xiu in surprise. Ouyang Xiu was a little embarrassed. After all, he had an argument with Zhao Shi more than ten days ago about whether Di Qing should be reinstated.

had a fight, but now...

That’s all,

For His Highness the Crown Prince and for the reform, Ouyang Xiu handed over and was about to refuse. Logically speaking, this is the usual practice, but... before he could speak, Jia Changchao said loudly: "Ouyang Xiu suffers from eye disease, and writing books is still a problem, so why talk about... Quan

The minister who knew the first division recommended Song Qi to take up this post."

Say it!

Glancing at Zhao Shi,

In other words,

Except for Di Qing and Ouyang Xiu who glanced at Di Qing and Ouyang Xiu out of surprise at first, almost everyone looked at Zhao Shi. Everyone knew that Di Qing could speak for Ouyang Xiu, but Ouyang Xiu did not resist. The reason was that Zhao Shi also

Without any hesitation, when he saw everyone looking at him, he looked directly at Zhao Zhen, took a step forward, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty to terminate the engagement between Princess Fukang and Li Wei."

Um?

Everyone frowned at first, is this what we are asking about? Then they were frightened... How dare you?

really,

Zhao Zhen was a little confused by Zhao Shi's sudden words at first, and then he slammed the table and shouted: "No!"
