Chapter 007 - Battle of the Golden Pigs

(XX website www.xxx.***)(XX website www.xxx.***)(XX website www.xxx.***) After the new emperor ascended the throne, he did not stop the morning court for a day. Although he was young, he occasionally was in the Golden Palace, but he could see that he was trying hard to be a good emperor. The ministers in the court were relieved, especially the old guy led by An Gongtao. I remembered that Zhao Ji was not so diligent after ascending the throne, and Zhao Huan was conscientious at a young age. Could it be that the Song Dynasty was really about to rise to prosperity? Not only did the world rise and the threat of the northern country was no longer there, but there was also a hero from heaven to bless me to revive the Song Dynasty?

On the morning of the morning, the ministers went to the hall in groups of three or three, and those who came early gathered together to discuss. The political lenient in the Song Dynasty and there was no scene of later ministers in the Golden Palace. Everyone was talking lively, and suddenly a voice came: "It's early for everyone!" The ministers looked up and the buzzing hall suddenly became silent.

Wu Zhi walked into Wende Hall with a smile, walked to the first golden dragon pillar with its teeth and claws in front of the hall, and stopped and looked at it carefully. Wu Zhi had also been to court, nothing strange. The ministers were stunned that Wu Zhi was holding the dragon-headed golden mace in his arms this time, and Wu Zhi seemed to be comparing which of the golden dragon carved on the dragon pillar or the golden dragon on his mace was more powerful.

"Qiansheng of the noble king!" An Gongtao smiled and greeted him. Wu Zhi turned his head and said with a smile: "Old An looks good, have you drunk the medicinal wine I gave you?"

An Gongtao smiled bitterly and shook his head. This noble king looked wise and powerful in the past, which made people feel even more mysterious. This is also the main reason why An Gongtao prevented him. Who knew that after he became familiar with him, he would speak without restraint, which made people laugh and cry, but could not express his kindness.

When the other court officials came to say hello, Wu Zhi had already changed into a majestic and solemn expression, looking very like a minister of the country, and greeted the ministers one by one, and finally whispered affectionately with Cai Jing, as if talking about An Gongtao's beard, which made Lao An so angry that he left.

"The emperor is here, the empress dowager is here!" The eunuch's sharp voice rang. The ministers hurriedly stopped talking, divided the trains, and treated the concubine Wang and Zhao Huan neatly. Wu Zhi went to the hall without attending, stood at the top of the ministers, and couldn't help but look secretly at the side hall. The pearl curtains were tassels, and Wu Zhi was inexplicably relieved. It was just right if he wanted to invite the concubine Wang, just right.

Zhao Huan saw Wu Zhi at first sight and said with a smile: "Uncle is here too? Huan'er misses you!" The ministers smiled. After all, the emperor was young. After all, he said such words in Wende Hall. Cai Jing was also smiling, and no one saw the trace of worry flashing in his eyes.

"Please sit down!" Concubine Wang asked for cold words to come from the side hall.

Zhao Huan said "Oh" and sat down on the dragon chaise, but couldn't help but look at Wu Zhi again. Wu Zhi smiled and saw that no one was paying attention, he secretly grimaced at him. Zhao Ji laughed out loud. The ministers were stunned. No one heard Zhao Ji's giggle, and a "puff" chuckle came from the side hall.

After the ministers submitted a mixed chapter, Wu Zhi took out a memorial from his sleeve and said loudly: "I have a memorial to submit it!"

The ministers were stunned. Wu Zhi had fewer things even when he went to court. He had never submitted memorials. He heard that this high-ranking and powerful prince had a copy. He read it curiously, wanting to know what constitution would be proposed for the first copy of the noble king's new dynasty.

Zhao Huan smiled and said, "The emperor's memorial must be unwilling, so it is accurate to discuss it!"

The ministers looked at each other, Wu Zhi smiled bitterly, Zhao Huan was "accepted" now, but he did not take any responsibility. He handed the seal to the eunuch of Sili, and then sent it to the side hall from the eunuch of Sili. After a long time, the cold words of Concubine Wang came out: "The Secretariat of the Secretariat, the Privy Council assisted the government in Zihuan Hall."

The court officials heard the words of the empress dowager and knew that it was a secret matter. Only the auxiliary government was qualified to participate in the initial discussion. Although the Wende Hall was all third-rank or above, and there were only a few low-rank officials who were qualified by Xu En. These people were stomping their feet outside, but how many people could speak in the Golden Palace? The secret matters could only be discussed when they were reviewed. As the eunuch Sili said, the ministers bowed and resigned.

There are no so many things in the Zihuan Palace. After Concubine Wang and Zhao Huan were sitting together in the dragon case, although there were bead curtains covering their faces, they could see the faces vaguely. Wu Zhi took a secret look and said that he hadn't seen each other for a day. Why did he feel that Concubine Wang was much more gorgeous? Especially with her cherry mouth, a touch of bright red, it seemed... it seemed that she was not so beautiful before, right?

Wu Zhi woke up immediately, cursed himself ashamed of shamelessness, and twisted his thighs hard, but it would be even more difficult to forget the ecstasy taste of yesterday.

"Look at the surface of the noble king." Concubine Wang looked at Wu Zhi without looking at Wu Zhi, and passed Wu Zhi's memorial down.

Cai Jing, Xu General, and An Gongtao, three important officials, first of alleged officials, looked at it. When Cai Jing picked up the memorial, Wu Zhi intentionally or unintentionally reached out to touch the golden mace in his hand. Cai Jing frowned and cursed childishly, but he felt a little panic in his heart. It seemed that Wu Zhi would not give up until he achieved his goal. If he really went against his will, he would seek revenge in the future. Not to mention whether the golden mace was whipped heavily, even if he touched it gently, his face would be lost. Whether it was not willing to expand the territory or expanded the territory? The credit was not over your head, why should I be a villain? If I really lost the battle, it would be even better. It would be better to see how you explain to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

"Mother, why are you laughing at?" Zhao Huan looked at Concubine Wang curiously. Everyone looked at him, but there was no smile on Concubine Wang's face.

"The Lord is focused on listening to everyone's words." Concubine Wang said in harmony. Zhao Huan said "Oh" and turned his head over.

An Gongtao, Xu General agreed, and Cai Jing also made a generous speech. Seeing that the matter was about to be settled, the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty frowned and stood up and said, "Master, Empress Dowager, I think it is inappropriate to talk about the Northern Expedition at this time!"

Zou Hao was originally an old minister of the previous dynasty, with a conservative temperament. He was appointed several times during the Huizong period and demoted several times. It was a lot of disasters and difficulties. It was not until last year that the Secretary of the Shangshu Right Prime Minister Zhao Tingzhi passed away that General Xu and Cai Jing recommended him to return to the court and ranked last among the five prime ministers. He had been in the local area for a long time and only heard of the name of the noble king, but did not know Wu Zhi's methods. Hearing that Wu Zhi was about to raise a rashly, the court officials agreed and felt uneasy. Don't become a one-man ruler in the court.

"What's wrong!" asked Concubine Wang.

Zou Haolang said: "I think that the people are unstable because the ancestors have passed away. At this time, we should appease the people and declare the benevolence of the new emperor, so that all people can be happy, and not kill them. Otherwise, if the wars are together, the world will be turbulent and the lives will be devastated, and the emperor will lose the saint#.

Concubine Wang nodded slightly and said to Wu Zhi: "Didn't the Ai family say this to the prince?"

Seeing that Concubine Wang was dignified, Wu Zhi felt relieved when he saw that Concubine Wang had long forgotten what happened yesterday. This was the best, but after thinking about this, he seemed to have no idea of ​​controlling Concubine Wang. He sighed and took one step at a time.

"The difference in the words of the Right Prime Minister is because the emperor is young and should show his power in the north, so as not to be despised by the barbarians and be ready to move. The situation in the north is confusing, and it is time to cut the mess quickly..." Cai Jing pondered for a while, stood up and said.

"Cai Xiang's words are different, and it is also a old wish to pacify the north, but the tribes in the northern country have always been strong. If you want to build martial arts in the northern country, you need to plan carefully. If you don't have any success in a decade or twenty years, you will rashly raise an army. It is not a good idea to be eager for quick success and instant benefits."

Listening to Zou Hao's generous speech, Wu Zhi frowned. There was no way to deal with such straightness, and he couldn't beat him or scold him or her, and he couldn't find a way to continue. Although Zou Hao was conservative, he was much better than Zhao Tingzhi and others.

Several ministers debated for a few words and said they could not convince anyone. Cai Jing turned around and bowed and said, "Please ask the Queen Mother to make a decision." The ministers followed and said, "Please ask the Queen Mother to make a judgment!"

Concubine Wang looked at Wu Zhi, pondered for a while and said, "The Northern Expedition is of great importance. As the Right Prime Minister said, it is not appropriate to raise an army rashly. However, the Northern Expedition was the last wish of the emperor. He also talked about the Northern Expedition several times when he was seriously ill. He often said, 'I can't close my eyes until the Northern Expedition is over..." Speaking of this, Concubine Wang's eyes turned slightly red and could no longer say anything.

When Zou Hao heard Concubine Wang lifted the "Last Emperor", he could only sigh. In fact, the three important officials who were entrusted with the resolution. Gang Hao's opposition was powerless and he was just doing his best.

Wu Zhi was a little surprised when he heard Concubine Wang talking for her. He looked up and saw Concubine Wang wiping her tears, and he could not see anything unusual.

Since the Northern Expedition was agreed, then the matter of food, grass and supplies was discussed. This was not Wu Zhi worried. He stood by silently and listened to the discussions of several ministers. General Xu was the Minister of Revenue. He should have drawn up a detailed charter for the next task in the Secretariat. Now these auxiliary ministers have only put forward some key points.

"Mother, didn't you give the mighty general to the emperor a few days ago?" Zhao Huan was bored and beat him up. Suddenly remembered something and looked up and asked the concubine Wang.

Several ministers were stunned. The mighty general? The noble king seemed not suitable to be appointed as a general, right? They all turned around and looked over.

Wu Zhi also smiled and said, "Master, I can't be a general..." After saying that, I felt that it was inappropriate. This was Zihuan Palace. It was not private. I could talk to Zhao Huan like a family chat and look around. Fortunately, the auxiliary officials did not show any strange colors.

"Uncle Emperor, I didn't call you a general, but a few days ago, overseas foreign countries paid tribute to my nephew a strange beast. My nephew named it a mighty general, but my mother said she could not play with things and was disgusted and wanted to give the mighty general to the princess of the emperor..." Zhao Huan was excited when he talked about the "magic general" and said that he wanted to give it to the princess, his face dimmed again, and he was obviously reluctant.

Several ministers laughed in silence. It turned out to be such a mighty general.

"It's said it's a strange beast, but the piglet is golden in color, and the foreign messenger called it a golden pig..." Concubine Wang said as she signaled Zhao Huan to sit down.

"Well, let's leave today, Aiqing Gao!" Concubine Wang turned to greet Gao Qiu.

Gao Qiu hurriedly took a few steps: "I'm here!"

"I heard that Ling Gongzi is smart and fun, so I will give Ling Gongzi the Golden Pig." Concubine Wang said lightly.

Gao Qiu was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to thank him, saying repeatedly: "Thank you the Queen Mother, thank you the Queen Mother for your kindness!"

Wu Zhi was funny, Gao Yanei had a very famous reputation. But thinking about it, Gao Qiu and the Li family always had a rift. I think the Li family often arranged Gao Qiu in front of Concubine Wang. Gao Yanei was Gao Qiu's weakness. It would be strange if the Li family didn't use it as a matter. Concubine Wang gave the golden pig to the Gao family to relieve the past grudges. After all, Concubine Wang has a different status now, and Gao Qiu is ranked as the deputy privy minister. If he doesn't want to completely suppress it, it's better to win over it and settle his heart.

"No! Didn't my mother say that she would give the mighty general to the emperor? I won't do it!" Zhao Huan started to make a noise loudly.

Concubine Wang's face sank: "What's the point of being a monarch of the lord of the country?"

However, Zhao Huan became scheming and yelled nonchalantly.

Wu Zhi hurried over to comfort him, and the ministers shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Gao Qiu was extremely embarrassed and stood up and retreated aside.

Although Zhao Huan was young, he was the emperor after all, and Concubine Wang could not disobey his wishes. He said softly: "Master, since he is giving someone, what's the point of giving him?"

Zhao Huan was said a few times by Wu Zhi, and stopped making noise. After hearing Concubine Wang’s question, he whispered: “Give it to the Emperor, Huan’er…I can also go and see it… Mother, please give it to the Emperor…”

Although the voice was small, all the ministers had heard it. Gao Qiu hurriedly said, "Give it to the minister, and the emperor can also see it..." After saying it, he felt that he was too utilitarian, so he hurriedly stopped talking.

Concubine Wang was a little angry and muttered something in a low voice. Zhao Huan, who was closest to her, didn't even listen to the invitation, but only listened vaguely, "Auntie, why do I give her something..."

Zhao Huan ignored Gao Qiu and said to Concubine Wang: "My mother often says you have no jokes, but the mother's mother promised Huan's gift to the emperor, why did she go back on her word..."

Concubine Wang was stunned when she heard Zhao Huan's words. After looking at Zhao Huan for a while, she shook her head helplessly and said to Gao Qiu: "Tomorrow, Ai's family will give some calligraphy and paintings to her beloved's house."

Gao Qiu smiled and thanked him repeatedly, but he shouted in his heart that he was unlucky.

Concubine Wang turned to Wu Zhi again and said, "Your Majesty. You can send someone to the palace to pick up the mighty general, but don't mess around with the emperor."

Wu Zhi nodded slightly, and a small storm then turned into invisible.

After the court talks, Wu Zhi led the way from the palace maids and came to the Imperial Garden. Although this garden is also called a garden, it is many times larger than the garden of the Guiwang Mansion. Walking on the cobbled path, there are rare flowers and plants all around. On the green grass, a few snow-white cranes swayed with their heads. In the beast railing not far away, there were a few hideous tigers and leopards, roaring continuously, which made Wu Zhi admire him. The royal family is the royal family. These tigers and leopards are very energetic, unlike the sickly gardens in later generations.

In a small animal pen, Wu Zhi met the "magical general". As Concubine Wang said, it was just a golden pig. It was really incompatible with the majestic "title seal". It seemed like a pet pig from later generations, small and cute.

Seeing Wu Zhi's hair stunned, the palace maid pursed her lips and said, "Prince, do you want me to take you back to your house?"

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "That's the best!" Thinking about how he was walking in the forbidden palace with him in his arms, he wouldn't be laughed to death?

The palace maid opened the animal pen and carefully carried the golden pig into her arms. The golden pig did not struggle and lay comfortably in her arms, as if she was enjoying it. The palace maid smiled at Wu Zhi and said, "It's just too lazy!"

Wu Zhi smiled and said nothing. The palace maid led the way forward and kept leaving the forbidden palace. Wu Zhi got on the carriage. Seeing the palace maid hesitant on his face, he waved and said, "What are you thinking? Come up!" When he left the palace maid, he took out his waist sign. It seemed that it was given by Concubine Wang, and she was allowed to send her back to the house.

"I dare not, I should use it to leave..." Although the palace maid was not too restrained in front of Wu Zhi, she was very polite.

"Can you keep up with the carriage?" Wu Zhiqi said.

"I... I will do my best..." The palace maid bit her lip tightly and looked as if she was about to die.

Wu Zhi laughed in silence: "Forget it, come up quickly! Don't waste time!"

The palace maid said "Oh" and got on the carriage happily. The groom raised his long whip and blew a beautiful whip in the air. The carriage slowly set off.

There were two snow-white soft couches in the carriage. Wu Zhi sat down by the window. Gong Maid stood beside Wu Zhi. The carriage started and almost fell down. Wu Zhi forced her to sit down. After Gong Maid sat down, he looked up at Wu Zhi, and suddenly lowered his head with a blush on his face. But his big eyes secretly looked at Wu Zhi from time to time, which made Wu Zhi feel embarrassed and secretly regretted asking her to get in the car.

It’s not that the palace maids are full of spring hearts. Wu Zhi is really inspiring these girls nowadays. He is famous all over the world at a young age. He is even more powerful in the Song Dynasty. Although he is not handsome, he is more and more delicious as he looks at it. In addition, he has developed majesty over the years, and he is truly the perfect man in the girl’s heart.

He arrived at the palace awkwardly. Seeing the palace maid like this, Wu Zhi had already wanted to chat with her and was not asking about his name. When the carriage arrived at the palace, he casually called a guard and ordered him to take the golden pig. He ordered the carriage to send the palace maid back. Looking at the palace maid's somewhat sad face, Wu Zhi shook his head helplessly and turned into the palace.

In Cuiyun Pavilion, when the girls of Jinlian saw the golden piglet brought by the palace maid, they cheered in unison, threw down the golden flower card, and started teasing the piglet. Wu Zhi sat aside with a smile, looking at the happy girls, and felt warm in his heart.

A few days later, the golden pig's land belonged to the land was settled, and the first place to be eliminated was Qiqiao. As soon as the golden pig saw her, it immediately swept away its lazy expression and screamed and ran around. From this we can see how Qiqiao had ravaged it, causing the golden pig's body and mind to suffer such great damage.

Xuan Jing was fresh for a few days and left nothing to care about it, saying, "Lack of laziness is boring."

Jinlian saw that Zhu'er liked to run around with the Golden Pig in her arms, so she suggested that the little pig would come back to Zhu'er to take care of him in the future. Jin Zhi had no objection. As for Xiao Qiangan and Qianyezi who were living in the noble palace, they all followed Qiqiao's horse. When Qiqiao saw that Xiao Zhu was afraid of him, she felt bored and scolded him when she saw it. Xiao Qianqian and Qianyezi did not dare to be too close to the Golden Pig.

As a result, the Golden Pig almost became Zhu'er's pet, and Zhu'er liked it so much that she held it in her arms all day long, making Wu Zhi feel a little chewy. After secretly finding out that the Golden Pig is a mother creature, she stopped caring about it. After thinking about it, she found it funny, and her desire for possession became stronger and stronger.

A few days later, in the Wangfu Study, as usual, Wu Zhi sat behind the desk, and Wu Yong stood beside him.

Wu Zhi looked at a list in his hand and smiled and said, "I don't know if these northern aristocrats are real." This is the list of nobles who are sucking in the Liao Kingdom, Western Liao, Western Xia and Jin Kingdoms. The information of these nobles, personality, family status, and friendship characteristics are listed in detail. It can be said that they are very detailed.

Wu Yong smiled and said, "I guess I can't make a mistake."

Wu Zhi nodded slightly, picked up a brush and circled it on the list a few times, and smiled and said, "I stopped supplying immortal tea, so that these people could taste the taste of life worse than death. I don't know if they will be obedient!" The people in Wu Zhi were all Jin nobles, and they all lived in Zhongjing. In the information, these people were all cowardly.

Wu Yong nodded slightly.

Wu Zhi said again: "The supply from other places is reduced, just enough to maintain them, so as not to buy them from elsewhere. Well, will you try these tough people next time?" He pondered as he looked at the list.

Although Wu Yong knew that the king had a "fairy tea" and had a lot of money, he didn't believe that this kind of thing could make people surrender. However, fairy tea was indeed magical. It was hard to find a fortune in the north. Whether he could buy fairy tea was already a symbol of the wealthy families in the north. I heard that the merchants in the south were also moved. They wanted to sell it at a high price from the north, but they were scolded by the buyer. What kind of "fairy tea" is just a slander, which can be sucked? Several merchants were even accused of being liars and put in prison. After several times such a thing happened, the merchants also gave up, thinking that the barbarians and China were different, and that even the barbarians could be treasured even if they were "fairy tea".

Wu Yong naturally knew that these were arranged by the noble king, and he was also very curious about how the immortal tea was born. However, he was curious, but he had no intention of exploring it at all, because he knew that if the noble king didn't want to tell the secret, he had to find out the truth? Then he would really become a birthday boy who ate arsenic and lived impatiently.

"Well, let's start with a cowardly person. These tough people should take a slow start..." Wu Zhi said slowly. Hebei was stepping up preparations of food and supplies, so he naturally wanted to control a few more puppets before launching troops, so as to make the Northern Expedition smoother.

Wu Yong didn't know how to answer, so he nodded repeatedly.

Just as he was saying, a gentle knock on the door came from outside the door, and then the guards' voice sounded, "Prince, someone from the palace asked for a visit, saying that he was calling Za Taoer!"
