There is no secret in this world. Zhang Zai and Er Cheng thought they were hidden, and no one knew about it. But they forgot that some things do not require evidence.

"Why do you catch me?" Zhang Zai shouted at the top of his throat.

"Haha, Mr. Hengqu, since you have arrested you, there is naturally evidence. You should not waste your energy!"

"snort!"

Zhang Zai's hair and hair were all angrily scolded: "I am doing well and walking upright, and I am worthy of my heart. You are accusing you, and the government will have their own opinions!"

"Hahaha, this is wrong. Mr. Hengqu, you are really stupid in studying. You guys from Qiyingshe were also arrested by your brothers, but what are the suggestions?"

One sentence made Zhang Zai speechless.

He woke up suddenly. He didn't catch himself before, not because you were too many, but because you were not worthy of being caught!

For a proud person, contempt is even more uncomfortable than killing him!

Zhang Zai was furious, shouted loudly, and struggled desperately.

But these were useless. He was arrested and sent directly to the Tianzhuo of the Ministry of Justice. Immediately afterwards, Ercheng was also arrested in a separate courtyard, and then Teacher Huang from the Royal Academy was also arrested.

In addition, several newspapers and bookstores that were closely related to Ercheng were all blocked and relevant personnel were arrested.

Wang Ning'an is very happy to take action, but there is still the last trouble left, that is, the second prince Zhao Zonglin.

No matter what, he is also Zhao Zhen's flesh and blood. The emperor is worried at this moment. It is best not to do anything that stimulates him. Therefore, Wang Ning'an can only ask someone to investigate the case of Ercheng and not to deal with it publicly for the time being.

Uncle Zhao was still very happy during the Chinese New Year, and even his energy improved a lot. Last winter, it was not cold and the moat did not even freeze.

After the beginning of spring, the weather also warmed up early. Although it may not be good news for farming, Zhao Shu no longer cared about anything and could not compare with his father's body.

He hoped that his father would last longer, and that it would be best to see him get married and see the next generation, and be able to hold his grandson with his own hands... He took care of his father carefully and made a four-wheeler for Zhao Zhen. When the weather was good, he would push Zhao Zhen and walk around the palace. Sometimes, he would walk on the palace walls and look at the prosperous capital.

Although Zhao Zhen could not see anything, he could listen and smell the lively hawking sounds, one after another, swirling and competing, and it was extremely lively. Sometimes when a gust of wind blew, there was a faint fragrance, which was quite lifelike, making people feel comfortable and enjoyed.

Zhao Shu was full of excitement and told Zhao Zhen that with the introduction of Wang Ning'an's new policy, the purchasing power of the capital increased by a large amount, and various materials poured in. The already prosperous store shops actually increased by 20%.

There are more people preparing to show their skills after the spring is in full bloom.

In addition to the merchants of the Song Dynasty, merchants from other overseas countries also arrived one after another, with the large number exceeding imagination.

This is all the credit for the grand birthday celebration.

Now, all overseas, the neighboring countries of the Song Dynasty are discussing the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

A giant city with millions of people, super buildings more than ten feet tall, a wide range of goods, a clean and clean cityscape, and an outrageous facilities... Almost everything can make overseas express sincere admiration.

The enemy countries of the Song Dynasty were frightened and uneasy, and most countries that did not celebrate too many festivals with the Song Dynasty, they were just amazed and unbelievable.

Prosperity, well-being, freedom, prosperity, vastness, enlightenment... Even the most conservative scholars have to admit that the Song Dynasty was a country with the best governance and was a model for all countries.

Since last year, many missions have appeared to visit the Song Dynasty for exchanges.

Among them, Japan alone sent 3,000 people, and Goryeo also sent hundreds of people, and more bearded men came to Luoyang through the Western Regions.

At this time, you can travel across the ocean and thousands of miles away, and there are no poor people.

They are all very fat and have real money in their pockets.

But the market in the Song Dynasty was so prosperous again, with all kinds of delicacies filling it, and the dazzling array of good goods.

Only when I really arrived in the Song Dynasty did I realize that the news brought back by the delegation was really pitiful!

The Song Dynasty is like a diamond with countless shining surfaces. Only when you are in the scene can you feel the charm here. Listening to others' oral narratives, you will always be just a little bit.

Soon, more and more businessmen fell in love with the Song Dynasty, and they even decided to live in the Song Dynasty for a long time.

As for business, it can be handed over to the subordinates to take care of it. No one is willing to leave this prosperous country, even if it is not possible for a day!

These outsiders brought precious gold and silver supplies to the Song Dynasty.

By purchasing agricultural and sideline products, building roads, and borrowing, the money will flow to the countryside, helping to complete Wang Ning'an's plan.

To be honest, there is no way to gradually expand urban and rural differences, but things will be smoother. Wang Ning'an hopes to keep the crisis within a certain range. As long as it does not suddenly break out, he can calmly plan overseas and then rely on immigration and plunder to solve the problems of the Song Dynasty.

These outsiders are not likely to go to the countryside, nor are they very aware of the fragile side of the Song Dynasty.

They will only write what they see in exaggerated words on paper. You should know that many countries do not have paper yet, so they must write the information on sheepskin.

For them, books are simply a luxury goods that are thousands of times more precious than gold.

But in the Song Dynasty, a primary school student's schoolbag had two or three books, and even more!

You should know that this number has exceeded the number of books collected by many indigenous princes, and many princes are even illiterate and do not recognize a single word!

Scholars from Persia, Dashi and Tianzhu greedily enjoyed the convenience of the Song Dynasty.

Although they also have some papermaking workshops in China, the paper produced cannot be compared with the Song Dynasty, and it is expensive. Only in the Song Dynasty can paper be used unscrupulously. They can record beautiful words and complex ideas intact and then spread them back.

It is worth mentioning that many Confucian classics and Confucius and Mencius's knowledge have also been translated into various characters and spread quickly to the outside world. Many scholars are obsessed with it, carefully studied it, and regarded it as the treasure. They hope to find the key to prosperity and prosperity of the Song Dynasty from here.

As long as you do as you think above, your country will become the same as the Song Dynasty and become an enviable country in heaven.

Obviously, these scholars are romantic and naive.

However, there was no need for the Song Dynasty to wake them up. On the contrary, Song Xi also arranged some Confucian scholars to talk about the various things with these foreign guests all day long, talked about the ways of Confucius and Mencius, and bravely shouldered the important task of spreading Chinese culture.

...

Although there is still a lot of room for improvement, or in other words, it is just a first step, this step is particularly critical!

As the supreme emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen was both relieved and moved.

He had been in power for 42 years. He had witnessed the decline of the Song Dynasty and the problems abounded. He also failed to promote reforms and watched Li Yuanhao become emperor. He was so shameless that he had no face to meet his ancestors.

But once upon a time, the Song Dynasty changed, and the transformation from the inside out was different.

It is true that the Song Dynasty is still very fragile, especially the drastic changes will impact the foundation of the country and bring about uncertain crises. However, Zhao Zhen firmly believes that all problems can be overcome. His Song Dynasty will eventually surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties and establish an unparalleled prosperity!

At this moment, Zhao Zhen smiled, smiling very comfortably.

He tried hard to open his eyes and stared at the prosperity outside the imperial city. Although he could not see it, he felt satisfied.

"The father has a clear conscience." Zhao Zhen suddenly smiled faintly, "Did you arrest Er Cheng and Zhang Zai?"

Zhao Shu was stunned and hurriedly leaned down and said, "Father, Ercheng used the newspaper to make trouble and have the desire to distract the family of the Heavenly Family. My son felt that he should be punished severely. Father, don't bother with a few ants."

Zhao Zhen nodded, "The father knows, he knows everything. The way Ercheng and Zhang Zai talk about is a bit pedantic, but it may not be too bad. At least... it would be great to ask them to go overseas and educate the Hu people, right?"

Zhao Shu's face changed. In fact, according to his idea, he should be punished more severely, at least he would be beheaded! Who knew that the father had this attitude, and what was the purpose of?

"Father, they collude with their second brother and want to..."

Before Zhao Shu could finish speaking, Zhao Zhen waved his hand.

"The emperor, Zong Lin is your younger brother. He is only twelve years old and has lost his mother early. Now he is even father... Alas, it's not easy for him. My Song Dynasty has vast territory and will expand its territory in the future, and it will have unlimited territory. The Taizu family and Zhao Congyu won the title of King Hami. Give your second brother a title, so he can be a wealthy and idle person, have children well, and pass on the family line. The descendants of the Tian family are in a difficult situation, so don't kill each other anymore."

After hearing what his father said, Zhao Shu finally understood.

It was not that Zhao Zhen was willing to let go of Er Cheng, but that he would inevitably implicate the second prince after dealing with Er Cheng.

As a father, he really doesn't want to do this!

It is also easy to understand if you put yourself in your shoes.

The old Zhao family seemed to have bullied the orphan and widowed mother, and had a sin. Zhenzong was bearded and had no children. If Zhao Zhen had not been born, he would have almost given the throne to Zhao Yunrang.

When he arrived at Zhao Zhen, he was in his forties and raised a son, otherwise the throne would be taken away again.

I finally saved my two sons, one more cent more insurance.

What's more, Zhao Zonglin is facing the situation of both his parents' death at a young age, which is really pitiful.

Zhao Shu hesitated for a moment and nodded, but he said in his heart: "Second brother, if you are honest, I can live without any blame. If the thief is not dead... don't blame me for being rude!"

At this moment, another gust of wind blew.

"What is this? It smells so good?" Zhao Zhen asked happily.

Zhao Shu sniffed it and said hurriedly: "It's donkey soup, right next to Yu Street, there is a delicious shop. Father, do you want to try it?"

Before Zhao Zhen could answer, Zhao Shu hurriedly asked someone to buy it.

Not long after, donkey meat soup was delivered. Zhao Shu took the soup bowl and ran to his father excitedly. He suddenly found that Zhao Zhen lowered his head and fainted...8)
