Li Ke felt even more awkward. The young man in front of him gave him a feeling of being domineering.

Although there were only two of them in this room, the four men wearing swords at the door still told Li Ke: Be careful.

He kept a smile and said, "I have heard of these, but I just listen."

Seeing that he refused to tell the truth, Zhao Xu smiled and said, "You have heard about Zhao Tan's recent incident. What do you think?"

Zhao Tian’s two memorials were very controversial in Kaifeng City, and they all said anything.

Li Ke naturally knew it and still smiled and said, "Scholars are so arrogant, don't take it seriously."

"Can't you take it seriously? Tell me in detail." Zhao Xu became interested and sat up.

Li Ke's brows moved, and he said patiently: "The two memorials of his works are too extreme. It is not a mistake for our Song Dynasty to be kind to scholars for more than a hundred years. Isn't it too extreme to attribute all the matter to scholars? What would it be if there were no scholars in the world?"

Zhao Xu said: "But scholars occupy all the benefits of the world, power, land, money, etc., exploit the people, embezzle the national treasury, and the poor and poor are also an indisputable fact."

Li Ke said: "Special things need to be treated in detail. You cannot attribute everything to one point in general, and then hit it one by one. Doing so will not only not achieve the expected purpose, but will also backfire, such as cooking oil for fire."

Zhao Xu nodded thoughtfully and said, "What do you think the court should do?"

Li Ke vaguely felt that the youth in front of him was a little bit unsimple, so he became cautious and said: "The court has no problem with many policies, such as reducing the army, controlling the salaries of officials, and even ascending the throne households and clearing the land of the dynasties. The reason why it has caused such a great criticism is that the court is too anxious."

Li Ke affirmed the great power of the court and ended it with "too hurry". It can be said that it is good to take control.

This is an open secret about the imperial court's "too urgent" and there has been constant debate within the imperial court.

"Then how do you think it should be slow?" Zhao Xu sat upright and looked at Li Ke with a smile.

Li Ke frowned, and he felt that the young man opposite him was taking the exam.

He endured his unhappiness and said, "What I said should be slowly drawn to it, like spring breeze and rain, governing invisibly, rather than opening up and joining forces to incite the court."

Li Ke said it more and more cautiously.

Zhao Xu thought in his heart. The person in front of him obviously didn't tell the truth, and everything he said was something that everyone knew.

‘I was anxious after all.’

Zhao Xu said secretly that if you catch someone, you will definitely not get the sound he wants to hear.

Zhao Xu thought about it and said, "What do you think of the current officials?"

Li Ke was stunned. What does this mean? He wants to criticize a stranger?

Li Ke looked at Zhao Xu deeply and said, "The wise and magical martial arts are marching to the world, and the style of the former kings."

Zhao Xu's expression was a little strange.

The person named Li said three words in front of him, which were very meaningful. One was described as Taizu and the other was the proposition of Emperor Song of all dynasties. As for the "style of the previous kings", it was a bit difficult to think about.

The former king refers to Song Shenzong.

Is Zhao Xu's style of the ancestors of the kings, the kindness and tolerance of Song Shenzong, or the "decision to reform"?

After all, the word "Shaosheng" means inheriting the saint and inheriting the previous king.

Zhao Xu didn't think about it, took a sip of tea and said, "What do you think the court should start from if it wants to reverse the predicament?"

"I am a minor official from the Moji. I don't know the great power of the country. Brother, I look down on me." Li Ke said with a smile. His words became more cautious, and he looked out the door frequently.

This is leaving.

Zhao Xu also felt that this conversation was boring and did not get what he wanted and could not hear in the palace.

Seeing that Zhao Xu suddenly became indifferent to interest, Li Ke seized the opportunity decisively and stood up and said, "The boat repair is almost done, so I'm going to say goodbye."

Zhao Xu didn't politely with him and watched him out.

"You have to find a suitable place and create some atmosphere..."

Zhao Xu reflected on this unsuccessful conversation.

Li Ke left Zhao Xu's door, quickly left the ship, and returned to his ship.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Madam Li came over, glanced outside, and whispered: "How is it? Who are they?"

Miss Li was surrounded by a group of daughters, mothers, and maids, all looking at Li Ke with concern.

Li Ke was no longer worried that Zhao Xu was a powerful man, so he comforted her and said to everyone: "It's okay, he is a noble young man, and it's okay to talk to each other."

Everyone was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now there is no peace everywhere. If someone robs their ship, it will not only be money, but also kidnap them. It will be a disaster of unpredictable life and death.

"Dad, I just saw that they raised the Zhao flag and quickly took it down." Suddenly, a young girl who looked like eleven or twelve years old squeezed out and looked at Li Ke and said frankly.

"Zhao?"

Li Ke thought something, but he knew that Zhao Xu was out of Beijing for inspection, but the large army he led was following the official road and could not appear here.

"Is it a clan's family?"

Li Ke looked at Zhao Xu's big ship again, thought for a while, and shook his head and said, "No matter who he is, we will repair the ship and leave immediately, don't involve it."

Everyone nodded, this is the way to live.

The little girl was following a group of people with big eyes open, a small, not conspicuous.

"Master, there is a piece of the cabin that has rotted, so it needs to be repaired." At this time, a servant stood outside the cabin and shouted inside.

Li Ke frowned, walked out, looked at the servant and said, "How long will it take?"

The servant said: "The boatman said they lack tools and materials and have to go ashore to find them. They may not be able to leave today."

"Can't leave?"

Li Ke subconsciously looked at Zhao Xu's fleet again.

There are more than a dozen ships of all sizes, and there are many burly men holding swords and weapons in their hands, and they are obviously not good at it.

Li Ke was worried that the night was long and dreaming, and said, "Is there any other way? I have to leave here today? Can the boat still drive?"

The servant said: "The boatman said he could not move anymore and had to overhaul."

Li Ke frowned more. Looking at Zhao Xu's ship, he could see that Zhao Xu must have what he needed here, but he really didn't want to deal with that strange young man anymore.

"Repair quickly."

Li Ke had no other way, so he told him and turned around and entered the warehouse.

On the big boat not far away, Zhao Xu took a break for a while, then had a conversation with Meng Tang and others, and was about to take a break.

He had already ordered before taking a break and was ready to leave without delaying any time.

Therefore, not long after Li Ke entered the warehouse, more than a dozen large ships began to move slowly, leaving the shore in turn, and began to go down the river.

The fleet must first go to the canal and then head south along the river.
