It is difficult to be a head of a family, let alone a head of a country.

Although Zhong Jian is not the lord of a country, he is now executing the lord of a country for Zhao Dongting.

When he thought of Zhao Dongting, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It is true that the emperor is very talented and has a very talented person, but his personality... is a little loose after all.

He hoped that Zhao Dongting would be in the palace at this time.

Because he also realized something was wrong from Luan Hongmao's suicide, which means that there may be people with higher official ranks than Luan Hongmao and are inseparable from the matter on Lizhou West Road.

But Zhao Dongting is not here, how dare he investigate?

What if the top officials in various provinces are found, or even those officials in the central cabinet are found?

These people are all important weapons of the country, and he really dare not move lightly, because anyone who moves may cause turmoil.

After pondering in the study for a long time, Zhong Jian wrote back to Mao Jue.

Let him find out.

The central cabinet will try its best to give him the most support.

Until after three in the morning, the candlelight in the study was still swaying.

Zhong Jian was exhausted and fell asleep on the desk.

Not long afterwards, Yu Min and Wen Qingshu came together. Seeing Zhong Jian lying like this, his eyes flashed with care.

Wen Qingshu should be the one who can empathize the most.

As the secretary-general of Mingjingtai, she has a lot of things. She can feel that everything needs to be bothered and measured.

As a state order, Zhong Jian must consider more aspects than her.

She gently touched Zhong Jian's face.

In the short period of time when she was in office for the State Council, she could clearly feel that Zhong Jian was getting older and older.

This kind of old age is not only on the surface, but also on energy. His energy is almost squeezed to the extreme, and he becomes more and more calm and taciturn.

"master."

"master."

Yu Min shouted softly from the side.

Zhong Jian opened his eyes in a daze, with bloodshot inside, "Is it dawn?"

Yu Min shook her head and whispered: "Not yet, go back to the room and go to sleep!"

Zhong Jian nodded gently and went out with the two girls.

Only then did the study return to darkness.

...

A few more days have passed in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Dongting accompanied Li Xiushu and Li to Xiao for several days in the Xixia Palace, but he was planning to leave after all.

He could feel the reluctance of Li Xiushu and Li Zuoxiao, but there was nothing he could do about it.

It is early October now, and the Chinese New Year will be held in less than three months. He also has to go to other places in the Song Dynasty to inspect, but the time is actually quite fast.

It is not good for him to be too greedy for his children here. After all, state affairs are the most important.

early morning.

Zhao Dongting held Li Zuoxiao and stood at the door of Xixia Palace.

Li Xiushu stood beside her, her eyes a little rosy.

Zhao Dongting put down Li Zuoxiao, took her into his arms, and said, "In another two years, Zuoxiao will be older. Then you can leave it to him with confidence. With the assistance of all the ministers and let's watch, nothing will happen to Xixia. Then you will be by my side, you will be wherever I am."

Li Xiushu nodded slightly, but said, "How old will he be in two years?"

Zhao Dongting chuckled, "Not young anymore. At his age, isn't I already in charge of national military and political affairs?"

Li Xiushu said: "You think everyone is you..."

But I was happy in my heart.

Zhao Dongting said: "My children will only be better than me."

If Lee Soo-sook is willing, he even hopes that Lee Soo-sook will give way to Lee Leave Xiao now.

The land area of ​​Xixia is not large. Although it is a time when the Yellow Emperor is not in line, with the help of the Song Dynasty, he is really not worried about any problems in Xixia.

But Li Xiushu definitely didn't want to. In her eyes, no matter how old Li Zuoxiao is, she is probably still a child.

Zhao Dongting made up his mind that in two years, no matter how he looked for him, he would have to let Li Xiushu give up the throne to Li Zuoxiao.

No matter how reluctant you are, you will never be able to avoid separation.

At the gate of the palace, Zhao Dongting talked to Li Xiushu for a while, but finally said goodbye to Yiyi.

He took Li Wu and her daughter, and then Chen Fang and his family boarded the carriage.

Leave.

Li Xiushu led Li Zuoxiao and watched the carriage leave. After a long time, she did not look back.

Li Zuoxiao asked: "Mother, when will we live with our father?"

Li Xiushu smiled and touched his head, but couldn't speak.

Li Zuoxiao was the crown prince of Xixia, and Zhao Dongting was the monarch of the Song Dynasty. They were destined to be unable to live together.

But before he could think that Li Zuoxia actually said again: "Mother, if our Xixia Kingdom belongs to our father's Great Song Kingdom, then do you no longer have to worry about these state affairs?"

Li Xiushu was slightly stunned.

She did not think that Li Zuoxiao would have such an idea.

Has anyone told him this?

She knew that in fact, many people in Xixia were not resistant to belonging to the Song Dynasty.

She was a little complicated inside.

After a while of silence, he asked Li Zuoxiao and said, "Zouxia, the position of the king of Xixia was passed down by his ancestors. Do you know that if he returns to the Song Dynasty, his mother will become the king of the country that has been destroyed?"

Li Zuoxiao said, "But we and our father are a family... Why should we separate each other?"

Li Xiushu listened to this and remained silent again.
