Chapter 34 Old Fox and Little Fox

Zhao Qian knew nothing about the conspiracy and intrigues that occurred because of the Bianliang sword contest.

Now Zhao Qin is still receiving Fan Feng ignorantly. This Fan Feng is Fan Buzhi recommended by Li Di before. Buzhi is his name, and Fan Feng is his name.

After serving tea, Zhao Qian asked straight to the point: "I wonder what is the price for Doctor Fan to find this king?"

Fan Feng did not speak immediately, but looked at Zhao Jin with interest while shouting. "Xiaguan is resting today. After wandering around here, he found that the prince's mansion is really like a fairy mansion on earth, with a lot of blue waves and a vast expanse of the world. The flowers and trees are lush, the fruits are pressing on the branches, and the winding paths are in secluded, which is really rare to see. Xiaguan is really overjoyed, and I hope the prince is willing to let go!"

Zhao Qian rolled his eyes in his heart. Do you think Zhao Qian believed Fan Fei's words? Zhao Qian's mansion is beautiful, but because Zhao Qian doesn't have much money now, the huge garden only hired four gardeners to manage it, just to let the garden be admired. If you want to say the beauty, it is purely empty talk.

Besides, Zhao Jin's area is a place where dignitaries live. When it comes to gardens, even royal gardens are available. Why did Fan Feng come to the mansion to ask for a visit?

However, since Fan Feng didn't want to say it, Zhao Qian didn't ask, and smiled and said something unnutritious to Fan Feng. Of course, with Zhao Qian's personality, he would naturally be forced to scold Fan Feng for an old fox in his heart, and greet Fan Feng's female relatives.

Fan Feng didn't know that Zhao Qian had such a bad sense of this kind. Seeing that Zhao Qian had red lips and white teeth, handsome face, bright eyes, and had a good impression of him, he felt that Zhao Qian, the prince of Kuaiji, was not a useless prince.

Ordinary clans are spoiled, and their lips are basically red and white, but those clans are either black in Yintang or flashing their eyes, and they are obviously people who sing and singing every night. After a while, Fan Feng felt even more fond of Zhao Jin.

It’s because of what Fan Feng and Zhao Qian have been saying, don’t Fan Feng still know? It seems useful, but when you think about it carefully, you will find that it is all empty words. But Zhao Qian was not impatient, and there was no expression of impatient on his face. Every time he said something, he would respond. And he looked serious, without giving anyone a feeling of perfunctory. Although Zhao Qian’s answer was very empty, many of them were like ‘oh’, ‘well’, ‘that’, ‘that’! I have been taught!’.

Fan Feng felt that Zhao Qian was a person who could entrust heavy responsibilities. Although Fan Feng seemed to be useless, what the prime ministers such as Zhang Shixun and Li Di should be tested by you Fan Feng? If something happened, Zhang Shixun and Li Di were determined.

Political affairs must be careful. It is just like it was not easy before Liu E ruled the country behind the curtain. At that time, an old minister Kou Zhun opposed it desperately and had already persuaded Emperor Zhenzong of Song, who was terminally ill, to let him and several ministers serve as ministers as ministers to assist the young Emperor Renzong of Song.

But Kou Zhun was bold and unrestrained. He was done and celebrating with drinking and singing. He didn't want to speak the truth after drinking, and leaked the plan, which was known to Liu E. He quickly contacted her allies in the court and brought him down before Kou Zhun attacked.

Although there was a saying in the Song Dynasty that the scholars and officials did not kill, sometimes there was no need to see blood in killing people, and there was no need to do it yourself. Kou Zhun was demoted to Leizhou, which is the current Leizhou Peninsula in Guangdong Province. Don’t think it was Guangdong Province, that is, the land was good. At this time, China was not good for the development of the south, that is, the Yangtze River Delta was better. After passing these places, they were all barren lands with sufficient miasma.

Kou Zhun was demoted in 1022, but Kou Zhun was in the autumn of the next year when he arrived in the local area. Leaving the time he spent on the road, Kou Zhun went to the underworld after about a year in Leizhou. It can be seen how harsh the environment there is.

Fan Feng didn't want to be the second Kou Zhun, so his caution was not for no reason.

With a cough, Fan Feng finally explained the purpose of this trip. Although Fan Feng used the usual gentle tone of a literati, Zhao Feng still clearly heard the meaning. He asked Zhao Feng to take the opportunity to contact the generals to put pressure on Liu E. Naturally, there was no need to move him and understand him with reason.

Zhao Jin was originally afraid that he would attract a lot of hatred by making friends with his own families. The literati of this era was very hostile to military men. Even when the war broke out in the Northern Song Dynasty and Western Xia Dynasty, it would only change slightly. It was not until the Jingkang Incident that the status of military men was temporarily raised to be comparable to that of civil officials.

Zhao Chen was very happy after receiving Fan Feng's hint. Although this was only the support of the emperor's party such as Zhang Shixun and Li Di, it was enough to reduce the impeachment of Zhao Chen by 20 or 30%.

However, Zhao Qian felt that he could not agree so easily, otherwise wouldn’t it be too cheap for Zhang Shixun and the others?

Zhao Qian said with a look of horror: "How could this happen? No! I can't afford such a thing. No, this Bianliang sword contest cannot be handled!"

Fan Feng frowned. The Prince of Kuaiji was worthy of being the most famous prince. He was considered a character before, but now he is like a playboy? After a while, Fan Feng came to his senses. Although Zhao Feng screamed loudly, he just said it to himself!

It's like not reporting the Bianliang sword contest, Zhao Jin would immediately call someone in and tell the aftermath, but now? The maids outside the door looked at their noses and their hearts, as if they didn't hear anything. Combined with Zhao Jin's performance, Fan Feng felt uncomfortable in his heart. He knew that Zhao Jin was suggesting the benefits.

No matter how uncomfortable it is, Fan Feng comes from a family of officials and is famous for his ability as an official. Fan Feng wisely suppresses negative feelings in his heart and shows a gentle and elegant smile. "Prince, the official family is so old that he should take charge of the rule. As the saying goes, father and son fight against tiger brothers. If even the prince does not help the official family, I will ask me to wait for the ministers to deal with it suddenly?"

Zhao Qian sighed with a sad look on his face and said, "Donalm Chronicle Fan, your words make sense. It's just that the father and the emperor were in great service, and the orphans and widows were maintained by the empress dowager. Now the empress dowager is so old, how can Qin bear to be forced to force each other? I am also reading the book of sages. There is a sentence in "Mencius" that I agree deeply! 'The greatest filial son is to respect his relatives'!"

Fan Feng only felt the egg twitching, which was so painful. To talk about the court, the one who was against Liu E was the pioneer, was Zhao Jin. Others who hated and disliked Liu E either hid their feelings or had been demoted to a remote place by Liu E. At present, Zhao Jin said something here, which was a pity that Fan Feng had been an official for more than ten years and had developed a lot of cunning, otherwise he would have been unable to help pointing at Zhao Jin's nose and scolding him.
