"Your Highness, what do you say?" Bao Zheng asked with concern.

Zhao Shu was ashamed, "Old husband, I am alone in persuading his father to give him extra law, but his father is still very persistent and unwilling to change..."

Bao Zheng's face was even more miserable, "Your Highness, time is in a hurry, and many officials' evaluations may not stand the scrutiny. If you kill a good person unjustly, wouldn't it be a shame for the holy reputation? I have to go to His Majesty to argue with you even if I have fought for this life."

Zhao Shu hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my father insisted on severe punishment, but he also agreed to let go of a way out."

Hearing that there was a way out, Bao Zhengchi was stunned and asked, "Are you going to be sent to the Western Regions again?"

"Well..." Zhao Shu sighed with a sad face, "It's really a hard time for a long time. I'll allocate 10,000 yuan from the expenses of the East Palace to replenish travel expenses for everyone! Tell the escort officers and soldiers that they are not allowed to treat them as criminals, and they must take good care of them. In the future, in the future... the father will change his mind."

Bao Zheng was still sad, "Many people are old, but I am afraid that this time I go to the Western Regions, I will have to bury my bones in a foreign land and never return to my hometown. It's so pitiful!"

At this time, Wang Anshi said with a calm face: "King Bao Bao, these people have not completed the examination and have not completed the law. Some people openly confront the government and oppose the court. They can be exiled to the Western Regions and save their lives. Even if they are to open up the grace of heaven and earth, what other extravagances do they have?"

Bao Zheng opened his mouth and shook his head helplessly, "I'm just begging for the same palace, why bother with each other!"

After saying that, the old husband staggered away from the palace. It is said that after returning home, Bao Zheng was bedridden and his condition became a little worse, so he could not handle the director at all.

The Prime Minister cannot handle matters, so the Prime Minister must take charge of the Political Affairs Hall.

Wang Anshi is really cruel. He dismissed anyone who dared to oppose the new law and would be dismissed from office and rushed to the Western Regions. In just one month, more than 200 officials were dismissed.

Officials have never been alone. They have family members, slaves, grooms, servants, and at least a dozen people. In a blink of an eye, seven or eight thousand people were driven to the Western Regions.

On the road, there were the sounds of crying and wiping tears, and everyone was miserable and sad.

Officials stood at the top of the Song Dynasty and enjoyed the best treatment. They were not unable to survive. They wanted to go to the Western Regions to make money, and these people did not want to endure hardships.

You should know that in order to avoid being exiled, Wu Yu committed suicide.

Some officials also wanted to learn from Mr. Wu, but it was not so easy to make up their minds when they died. Almost everyone still had to go to the Western Regions.

"The emperor, the queen, have heard a lot of complaints these days, have you ever known?" Empress Cao took advantage of Zhao Zhen's rest and called the prince to her palace, and cooked Tremella lotus seed soup with her own hands.

After taking a few bites, Zhao Shu sighed, "There are all kings and fathers in the world. Should those people also consider it carefully? Should they complain casually?"

This is interesting. Of course, he accuses those who blame the emperor on the surface, but secretly, he also brought the queen in. Queen Cao's face changed. When the little thing grew up, he dared to compete with me!

Empress Cao was slightly angry and said coldly: "It's so hard to see thousands of miles away, mountains and rivers overlap? Put your heart in mind, your Majesty is the merciful lord. How can you bear to watch your wife and children separate and leave your hometown? There must be a treacherous villain who deceived the holy hearing, instigated the emperor and dismissed all officials. When the mother heard that Wang Anshi was very restless, spoke wildly, and rejected dissidents. If this continues, will there be peace in the world?"

Zhao Shu put down the spoon and stood up.

"The king is right or wrong, and I really dare not speak nonsense. I can only ask my father to make a decision. I will go to meet my father now."

As he said that, Zhao Shu bowed and withdrew.

After he left, there was a crackling sound from Kunning Palace, and the official kiln porcelain was broken all over the floor... Zhao Shu's face looked very bad, but when he returned to Zhao Zhen's bedroom, he had returned to normal and became a good baby again.

He served his father to take medicine, read memorials to Zhao Zhen, and reported reports from various places.

Zhao Zhen was normal at first, but suddenly, he issued an order to select girls and enrich the harem. He also yelled that the cement palace was uncomfortable, and he wanted to restore the wooden ones and use large materials to rebuild the Daqing Palace...

This made everyone very anxious. The emperor was like a child and decided on something that no one could bring back. No matter how Zhao Shu persuaded him, he had to give an order to the Political Affairs Hall.

This time Wang Anshi didn't pay attention. Sima Guang was responsible for finance and finance. He spread his hands, "If you want to rebuild the Daqing Hall, you need to transport wood from the sea to get Xijing. There is at least 50,000 guan of wood, and there are so many civilians. The Ministry of Revenue has no money. The saint urged him to be anxious. Even if you have money, you don't have enough time!"

Zhao Shu thought for a while, "Sima, please see if you can get a few tricks first.

"Focus? How to fool?"

Zhao Shu said: "My father has a very severe eye disease. He can't see clearly. As long as he makes a few wooden pillars and sets them in the hall and redecorates them, his father will not find it... Even if the father discovers it, I will take care of everything."

Sima Guang thought for a while and nodded, "Your Highness is devoted to the country and cannot bear to the suffering of the people. Even if I try my best to do this, I will do whatever I want."

Sure enough, with Sima Guang's efforts, half a month later, the so-called Daqing Palace was completed. Zhao Zhen actually believed it and even took a chariot and asked Zhao Shu to accompany him to Daqing Palace.

Touching the wooden pillar, the emperor smiled.

"Okay, this thing is down-to-earth, it can prevent insects and rats from biting, and prolong life. You must live a more careful life, and don't be careless." As he said that, he raised his head and saw the lamp in the hall again. At this moment, there was only a light left in front of Zhao Zhen's eyes, and the emperor suddenly became angry.

"Who is this? Who made the lamp? Why is it so dim? I can't see clearly!" The emperor was furious. Zhao Shu quickly smiled and comforted her with kind words. The emperor still refused to forgive her. "They just bully me and have bad eyes. If they want to deceive the holy listen, their hearts can be punished. Investigate them, and they must investigate them!"

Zhao Shu could only nod, and the Ministry of Works did check and found that the batch of palace lanterns were purchased from a workshop of the uncle Cao Qi's family. The accounts were about 3 cents apart.

It ended up being sent to Zhao Zhen.

"Your Majesty, it's only 3 coins! I think it's insignificant, so I'll just add a little punishment." Han Jiang replied.

However, Zhao Zhen suddenly turned over and said angrily: "Thirty thousand is still a small amount? A palace lantern made 30,000 yuan, and there are so many more. How much money do they want to make? My treasury is empty, it is all done by these big rats. You still say it doesn't matter, and say, how much did you take?"

Han Jiang is so unfair!

Zhao Shu smiled helplessly. His father's ears were not working well recently. He had to lie in Zhao Zhen's ear and explain repeatedly, but the emperor refused to agree. He had no choice but to ask for guilt and go down to investigate again.

A few days later, he finally found some problem with the Cao family. Han Jiang suggested that Cao Qi be removed from his position as Xuan Hui envoy, be demoted to three levels, and be fined for one year.

But the emperor was angry again and yelled that others were exiled to the Western Regions. Why should he show kindness to Cao Qi outside the law? You still have collusion!

Han Jiang was so embarrassed that he tried his best to explain that Cao Qi was the national uncle and the queen's younger brother. However, Zhao Zhen actually cried again. This time it was Empress Guo who cried.

Empress Guo was Zhao Zhen’s first empress, and was appointed by Empress Dowager Liu. Zhao Zhen was still a young man at that time. He hated everything given by Empress Dowager Liu. Empress Guo also had a little temper and made it very unhappy.

Later, a villain instigated the middle, and Zhao Zhen agreed to depose the queen, but a few years later, Zhao Zhen regretted it again, but at this time, Empress Guo had died suddenly. According to legend, she was poisoned to death by someone at the age of 24.

The first woman is always unforgettable. Empress Cao is the second wife. It is rumored that Empress Guo’s death is related to the Cao family. They were afraid that the emperor’s old love would rekindle, so they found a way to poison Empress Guo to death.

Decades have passed since these things, and the emperor suddenly mentioned them again, which is really hard to understand.

In short, no one thinks it is not a good sign. The emperor is crazy. He disobeys him at this time and makes a random order, which will be completely destroyed in his entire life.

Han Jiang had no choice but to announce that the Cao family would be demoted to the Western Regions as a military officer for charges such as greed for the money from the Imperial Palace.

The Cao family was like a loss of their parents and cried loudly.

Only Cao Qi is calm.

If I had known that this day would have been a military force, the emperor would be kind!

Cao Qi was also helpless. He was in the tide and could only follow the trend.

They were too deeply connected with the damaged generals and officials during the reform, and they were too deep to cut them. If they did not speak for these people, they would be angry and would throw away the more deadly things, fearing that the emperor would not be able to protect the Cao family.

There is no way, I can only bite the bullet and fight for them.

After scrambling, I finally got the iron plate.

Cao Qi is not stupid, Zhao Zhen is just pretending to be crazy and drives away their family by his old age and stupidity. Without the support of the family, Empress Cao is alone and can't be heard. What can a woman do?

Go to the Western Regions!

Anyway, Wang Ning'an has never dared to tear his face off after years of friendship. Even if I don't do anything, I can still eat delicious food and drink spicy food, and do whatever I want.

Cao Qi figured it out, and no matter what the other rooms were, he left early and quickly escaped from the place of right and wrong. Perhaps he could come back after Zhao Shu ascended the throne, but no matter what, this period of time of change between old and new must be avoided...

The dignified relative and uncle Cao Qi were all exiled, and everyone was trembling with fear and chill.

Zhao Zhen was old and stupid, moody, and fully educated everyone, what it means to be with the king like a tiger.

The more the old emperor struggled, the more excessive it was, the more people hoped that the new emperor would succeed to the throne, end the chaos and quickly get the world back on track.

"Father, you are willing to belittle yourself for your child. How can you repay God's kindness?" In the middle of the night, Zhao Shu lay beside the bed and sobbed softly.

Zhao Zhen stroked his back and whispered: "Silly child, if your father doesn't do this, how can you quickly establish your prestige? How can you consolidate the Zhao family? Your father must be worthy of his ancestors! Your son, don't let your father down."

"Son understand!"

Zhao Shu grabbed his father's hand, completely ignoring his image, and cried so hard that his eyes were swollen... After a while, the father and son had to continue acting. It was already the early summer of the seventh year of Jiayou...
