Chapter 717 Foundation
Li Ke did not let the father-in-law kneel down, changed the subject, and said some relaxed and interesting things to ease the atmosphere.
Not long after, the boss bought the chicken and wine, and Li Ke and his father-in-law started drinking.
As the wine continued to drank, the father-in-law slowly opened up and told many "insider stories" that Li Ke couldn't believe.
In their village, there is only one big family, which is in charge of their food, drink, defecation and urination. Every move is made, and the whole village lives on them. Good things, including people and animals, belong to the big family.
Throughout the year, this family is barely filled with their stomachs, and it is a blessing not to starve to death.
Li Ke was drunk, but his mind was extremely calm and he kept exploring.
The old man said more and more, and everything was very detailed, including those who heard it, and he told Li Ke.
It seems that it is rare to meet a confidant, or if you finally drink wine once, the old man's face is flushed, he squirts with alcohol, and he talks a lot.
His two sons were busy in the yard. Listening to his father's bragging, they each had their own expressions, and their second son had a constipation expression on his face.
Li Qing seemed to have discovered a new world, running around the yard, very happy.
Early the next morning, the father-in-law was still sleeping, so Li Ke took his daughter and the father-in-law's second son back to the city.
Sitting in the carriage, Li Ke and his second son Zhou Ji said, "I will go to see a noble man later. Just follow me, don't say anything, don't ask if you hear it, do you know what I ask you to do?"
Zhou Ji nodded repeatedly, like a fool who had entered the city for the first time, following Li Ke nervously and nervously.
Li Ke looked at him, made a set of clothes for him, had a meal, and after afternoon, he calculated the time before he arrived at the Royal Pin number Yingtianfu semi-colon.
Zhao Xu is still reading the memorial at this moment, which is the memorial at Jiangnan West Road.
There are many memorials, including Zong Ze, Liu Zhiyi, Zhou Wentai, Li Yan, and some officials from various prefectures and counties.
Their views on what happened in Jiangnan West Road are all in these memorial books.
Some are bold and straightforward, some are obscure and profound, and there are comments from Cai Bian, Wen Yanbo, Li Qingchen, and even Zhang Dun.
Zhao Xu not only needs to understand the meaning of these local officials, but also needs to look at the thoughts of these husbands.
Zhao Xu looked at it slowly, with a playful expression.
The attitudes of local officials are strange, but few people have directly opposed the "New Policy", but instead criticized Zong Ze and others' policies, attacking Zong Ze and others, which is equivalent to a big circle.
"A good phenomenon..."
Zhao Xu held an apple in his hand and said with a smile. It’s not that these people don’t object, they don’t dare to object, but more and more people don’t dare to object, so the reform is the general trend.
Meng Tang stood not far in front of Zhao Xu, with a quiet expression as if he had heard nothing.
Zhao Xu took another bite of the apple, looked up at Meng Tang, and smiled and said, "Have you seen some people? Don't you sell your face?"
Meng Tang's expression moved, raised his hand and said, "Yes, I'm incompetent."
Meng Tang is the current national uncle and Empress Meng's only younger brother. In terms of identity, he should be a particularly high-ranking among the "old party". But, others were slight and in Yingtian Mansion, no one bought his account. If he wanted to get some savings for the semicolon, he almost returned without any effort.
Zhao Xu put on the apple and said, "This is not your problem. You must know that tea is cold since ancient times. Let's talk about the father. The father's death is just one year. His 'reform' that he worked hard for more than 20 years was abolished by a group of ancient officials. For example, the emperor's grandmother, when he was alive, your Meng family was so prominent, and all the grandmother, and the people's hearts were scattered. You have suffered these hardships and know it in your heart."
Meng Tang lowered his head and said nothing.
After his grandfather committed suicide, the Meng family fell apart instantly. Even if her sister is the current palace, no one cares. In everyone's eyes, his sister is also in turmoil and will be deposed at any time.
Therefore, Meng Tang suffered a lot outside the palace, and I don’t know how many people bullied him. If it weren’t for some guesses, he would have been on the street long ago.
Zhao Xu flipped through the memorial book and continued, "Besides, I am in power, and many things can still be suppressed. If I am gone one day, the first thing that will be the one that will be the one who will be affected is your sister, and then Brother Quan... and then, it will be you. Don't think too much. No matter whether there is the next Sima Guang or not, your sister will be extremely difficult and your life will not be easy..."
Meng Tang's head lowered more.
He could imagine that if Zhao Xu suddenly disappeared, the power of the government and the government would be in the hands of Zhang Dun. The young Empress Meng could not suppress Zhang Dun. Brother Quan was young and the development of the court would be strange and unpredictable!
Seeing Meng Tang's expression turned pale, Zhao Xu said with a smile: "Okay, don't think so much. I was seriously ill the past year. After I woke up, I kept a backup plan. Even if I suddenly disappeared, there would be someone to protect me and Brother Quan. I would not let your sister have something to do with you."
Meng Tang forced a smile, trying to raise his hand and say something, but he put it down halfway.
Zhao Xu didn't care about Meng Tang's emotions, threw away the fruit core in his hand and sat up, and said thoughtfully: "Zhao Si didn't write me a letter, nor did Master Zhong Zhong. What the hell are they doing?"
Zhao Xu, who was fighting against Dali, had been preparing for the Gao family. Zhong Shizhong rushed over from the capital, and added the army and raised money and grain. It was winter again, so it was a bit long, which is understandable, but why did they not get a single report?
Zhao Xu looked at Meng Tang and said, "Are the memorials transferred by Chenpi here?"
Meng Tang quickly raised his hand and said, "Go back to the official house, I have no money left out, it's all here."
Zhao Xu thought to himself, thought about it and said, "I'll send a letter to Chen Pi, and ordered the Privy Council and the Ministry of War to integrate all military information in Guangnan West Road and Chengdu Prefecture Road. I really need to see. I will send an order to Zong Ze, add the third rank, and give the king the arrows. I will tell you the instructions and order them to strictly abide by the court's requirements and strive to implement the "Shaosheng New Policy" and not perfunctory."
"Yes." Meng Tang responded.
Meng Tang was about to turn around when he faced Hu Zhongwei.
Hu Zhongwei moved away from him and raised his hand to Zhao Xu and said, "Official family, Censor Li is back."
"Oh, I'm back very quickly."
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Let him come in and see what he has found."
Hu Zhongwei responded and brought Li Ke in.
Only Li Ke, who still smells of wine on him, began to tell Zhao Xu about his experiences for most of the day, and then said: "There are some things in the official family that are indeed beyond the imagination of the ministers. The lives of ordinary people are very difficult. They rely on all the gentry. If the gentry let them live, they will live. If they let them die, they will die. The emperor's life is not as good as the gentry's eyes. In addition, I am still worried, what should ordinary people do if these gentry become stingy or if they encounter difficulties?"
Zhao Xu sat on the soft collapse and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "You can see that this floor is pretty good. If you encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, the gentry is also stingy, that is, the beginning of large-scale civil unrest, and the reason why large-scale civil unrest has not been formed is that, first, the territory of the Song Dynasty is small, and secondly, the foundation is not good, and it can last for some years, but it cannot last for too long. Especially in the past, the military is becoming increasingly sluggish. Not to mention the domestic, whenever a strong enemy invades abroad, it will be like an arrow breaking paper, destroying the paper, destroying the family and destroying the people..."
Li Ke looked serious and agreed with a deep expression.
Li Xia is nothing, but the Liao Kingdom is eyeing him and has always had the ambition to enter the Central Plains, so I have to be careful!
