Zhao Heng knelt on the ground and bowed to Empress Meng, but lowered his head.

You can't see the situation in the car.

When Meng Hou saw Zhao Huan coming, he was ready to get off the car.

When he saw this healthy and energetic emperor approaching and knelt down, he somehow stopped his body again.

She sat upright in the car and looked through the window. When she saw Zhao Huan's meticulous manner, she had been waiting for him to finish the ceremony before she got out of the car.

"My son has met the Queen Mother."

Zhao Huan seemed to have no feeling of the empress dowager's support. Seeing this old man in his sixties get out of the car, he took a step forward and held her with his hands.

Empress Meng trembled and subconsciously pushed Zhao Huan's hand away.

Zhao Huan smiled casually, but didn't care. He just looked at her wrinkled face and smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager worked hard all the way and settled in Chang'an. Unless it is the rest of the world in the future, there is no need to work hard."

Empress Meng looked at his face and saw that the other person was rosy and his eyes were sparkling, like a pool of deep water, which was invisible.

She panicked for no reason. She originally asked the emperor in front of all the officials and ministers, but she stopped it. She just replied subconsciously: "You are so good, the Qin Gong takes good care of you, and the local officials along the way dare not neglect it. This is the emperor's will, and I am very helpful."

Zhao Huan reached out his hand again, this time he increased the strength a little, pinched her arm, gently held it up, and said to her while moving forward: "The Empress Dowager is an elder of the royal family. Now my father is still covered in dust. If I am a son, if I cannot take good care of the Empress Dowager, I will be severely punished by my father in the future."

When Meng Empress heard him speak up his father instead of calling him "Father Emperor", she couldn't help but feel aroused in her heart and finally said to him: "When will the Emperor return to the Supreme Emperor?"

At this time, they were talking while walking. Having reached the closest Yanju, Zhao Huan put down Menghou's arm and smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager is not in a hurry, so you can go to change your clothes first and then talk later."

Meng Hou has been sitting in the car for a long time and does need to wash it again.

Although she was older, she had been in the palace for decades and paid great attention to her basic disguise style.

He nodded heavily to Zhao Huan, surrounded by dozens of palace maids, and walked into the yellow tent and went to change clothes and wash.

Zhao Huan did not sit and rest on the seats prepared for him. Instead, he summoned the ministers and ministers of the Privy Councilors who were the Empress Dowager, and chatted with them.

Everyone felt that the emperor was in a good mood, so they let go a little, and that was Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun. Although they wanted to discuss the military situation with the emperor in person, they did not want to come up to kill Feng Jing at this time.

The prime minister of the Song Dynasty was the most important thing. Zhao Huanyu smiled happily and stood at the main entrance of the Huangtai surrounds. Zhang Suo, Xie Liang and Zhu Shengfei were close to him.

Zhang Su was straightforward. Because he was the prime minister and was not as stubborn as Zhang Jun, he said to Zhao Huan after a few words: "Zhao Kai had arrived in Chang'an yesterday, so I have a brief talk with him."

"Oh?" Zhao Huan was extremely interested, and his body slightly turned to Zhang Suo. He asked with a smile: "What did Zhao Kai and Qing say?"

Zhang Su said: "Zhao Kai's coming this time is related to the expenses of the Qing army in the southeast. This year, most of the treasurys in the middle of the country are abundant and can do more things. However, the Jinghu chaos has started, and it is estimated that the cost will be more than 10 million. Zhao Kai told me that I am afraid that this chaos will cause His Majesty to reorganize the Qing army and the plan to form more imperial guards will be postponed for a long time."

Zhao Huan closed his smile and sighed: "Is there no way Zhao Kai?"

He first brought the Qing army in Shaanxi, then the imperial guards in full, and then prepared a major reform of the military system, clarify the responsibilities of the generals, and reform the military organization. The next step was to reform the wing army, and weaken the local garrison function, but to change the wing army into a specialized unit with auxiliary functions such as engineering, communication, postal and communication.

In this way, hundreds of thousands of people across the country are basically useless in wartime, and the wing army that can only support the elderly can play its maximum effectiveness.

Starting from Shaanxi first.

Then there is the southeast Jinghui and the Liangjiang and Fujian routes of Fujian and Guangxi. The imperial guards are fully charged around the war zone, and the wing army must be abolished and reorganized on a large scale in the rear to save and use military expenditures reasonably.

The whole army advanced westward and Jinghu's chaos did disturb his plans, which made this process delayed by at least about one year.

Seeing that Zhang Suo shook his head slightly, he didn't wait for Zhang Suo to answer, so he smiled and said to him: "Although Zhao Kai is good at managing finances, he is not a god."

Zhang Su and Xie Liang smiled together and said, "Your Majesty can know the joys and sorrows of ministers and the people, so why worry about the world's failure to cure it."

Zhao Huan nodded and replied, "The chaos in Jinghu has begun. I think it is because of the people who are too harsh."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, not only did the two prime ministers move, but the other ministers who heard it also changed their faces. With Zhao Huan as an emperor, it is not surprising that he has such an opinion, but being able to say it in public is extremely admirable.

Since Zhao Ji used Cai Jing to ignore political affairs, and then he was greedy for prosperity, the palace was expensive and had to repair gardens, which disrupted the world. Not only did the military spending insufficiently and the combat power decreased, it also led to the corruption of local officials and local officials, and the phenomenon of corruption and depression increased sharply. The emperor did not care. As long as officials could pay full taxes, they were capable ministers.

In this way, Fang Cai and Fang La's rebellion.

Jinghu Road was threatened by Jin soldiers several times and suffered famine in the past two years. Before Zhao Huan returned, Zhao Gou ignored it, and the taxes were not reduced at all, and he would never provide relief.

As a result, the contradictions have intensified. Zhao Heng has been back for more than a year. Due to objective conditions, although he tried hard to reduce taxes, he could only reduce them in small amounts. When Jinghu Road encountered another disaster this year, Zhong Xiangdu was determined to operate for several years, and finally rose up and raised a flag to be the king to rebel. As a result, he responded to the response and flooded the disaster.

Before the ministers could answer, Zhao Huan immediately said: "As for Yidu, which Zhong Xiang used to invite people to buy people's hearts, it is worth discussing it well."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Shengfei, who had not spoken aside, stepped forward and bowed, "How can Your Majesty do this? Now the court dispatches troops to encircle and suppress the rebels, but the emperor is commending the rebellious rebellion. The simple soldiers know what they think.

Zhao Huan's face changed slightly, and his eyes swept to Zhu Shengfei. He knew his intention.

This person has many tenants, and while he has taken advantage of the years of war, many small farmers have gone bankrupt, and many have merged. Because of this, he must have opposed Zhao Huan's actions that can touch his interests.

If Zhao Huan used Zhong Xiang's method, it would definitely benefit the farmers and be detrimental to the officials and gentry.

Because of this, the man didn't speak out just now when he was discussing government affairs. At this time, he came out to refute the emperor in the name of the soldiers in front of him.

Zhao Huanyuan wanted to refute it immediately, thinking that there were many officials in front of him. There were many interests in Zhu Shengfei, so he took back the reprimanding words that came to his mouth. He smiled faintly and nodded, "I will talk about this matter later. It is indeed inconvenient to talk about it here."

This is equivalent to indirectly admitting his mistake. Zhu Shengfei rarely wins a battle in front of the emperor. He is very happy in his heart, and immediately said a few more words and wants to retreat.

But when Zhao Huan General's face changed, he said to him: "I won't tell you what happened just now, but I just heard people say that when you go to welcome the Queen Mother, you will still be proud of yourself. When you see the Queen Mother, you will not answer your etiquette. As the magistrate, how can you be so arrogant!"

What he scolded was indeed true. This man relied on Zhao Gou's trust, and he also observed the style and used his beauty to try Zhao Heng in advance. He thought that he had made progress. Zhao Heng's situation was subtle at the time, so he had to rely on him perfunctorily and worship him as the minister. However, this man thought that the emperor was already in his heart and became more arrogant and more arrogant every day.

This time welcoming Meng Empress, he thought that the other party was just the Empress of Emperor Zhezong, and that Zhao Huan and her son were just aunts, and they did not have much deep feelings for each other.

Because of this thought, the other prime ministers were extremely respectful and cautious, but he was very negligent and had many inappropriate aspects in etiquette.

The other ministers saw this kind of trivial matter, but it was difficult to report it to the emperor. Zhu Shengfei was the prime minister after all, and even if there were any minor ritual negligence, it could not constitute a reason for being attacked and impeached.

Of course, this is because the imperial power of the Song Dynasty was not the only one. If it were the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this person would have committed a crime of disrespect and was enough to be beheaded.

At this moment, these small mistakes were obviously known by the emperor, and scolding them in front of all officials revealed Zhao Huandi's ideas.

Zhu Shengfei's face was pale, and he bowed to the emperor and then left first.

Due to the system and tradition of the Song Dynasty, he had no choice but to resign.

Although Zhang Su, Xie Liang and his colleagues couldn't see each other at ordinary times, they looked at each other and had to go forward to the emperor and argued: "Although Mr. Zhu is indeed disrespectful, His Majesty scolded the prime minister in front of all the officials, which is too much."

Zhao Huan had apologetic face and said to the two prime ministers first: "This is indeed because I have it."

The two of them were not complaining about Zhu Shengfei, but fighting for the position of prime minister. As soon as the emperor admitted his mistake, he took the opportunity to collect his clothes and took a step back, saying, "I hope Your Majesty can suppress his anger in the future."

Zhao Huan's face was full of smiles, but his tone became cold and mean again: "This person is Zhang Bangchang's son-in-law. The ninth brother valued him. This person is very loyal to me. I don't care about his identity. Unexpectedly, for the past six months, he has been arrogant and wanton, and has repeatedly made remarks about my local government measures, and now he is disrespectful to the empress dowager. Has he not forgotten that his father-in-law once proclaimed emperor? Is he unwilling to accept it?"

The Zhang Suo was sweating on his forehead and quickly answered first, saying, "It would definitely not be like this. Your Majesty is too suspicious."

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was about to come out, Zhao Huan was unwilling to embarrass the prime minister in front of the ministers, so he said, "Even so, I will wait for his preface."

Zhang and Xie bowed together and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty is wise and wise, but the ministers dare not speak nonsense."

Zhao Huan smiled coldly, turned around, and greeted the empress dowager who was approaching.

Most of what he did just now was seen by Empress Meng. She was just surprised that Zhao Huan was cowardly and kind before, not to mention that he was to the prime minister, but to the ministers, he had never been so harsh.

When he thought of this, his original thoughts could no longer be suppressed and he said to him: "Official family, you have to wait to defeat the Jurchens when you welcome the Supreme Court back, and you are unwilling to negotiate peace. Today, your ninth brother unfortunately died on the way. What are you going to do?"
