Seeing that my younger brother's reputation was in a rampant street in the capital, my brother still couldn't bear to see that my younger brother was really famous, and the emperor was willing to help.

When his brother Zhao Xu summoned him, King Duan Zhao Ji seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, and he wanted to hold his brother's thigh and cry for a while.

"The emperor's brother blames Li Binggan for this bastard. He has been hurt by him. Now that our Song Dynasty has won a great victory over Xixia, can you let Li Binggan deliver the money?" Zhao Ji always gritted his teeth whenever he talked about Li Binggan.

"You just say this in front of me, don't talk nonsense." As a brother, Zhao Xu's intention to care for his younger brother is true. So he spoke, "How much money do you owe?"

"Brother, if you only have 100,000 guan or less than 110,000 guan, you can get the creditor's account on the creditor."

But Zhao Xu... After hearing this, he wanted to slap himself. He suddenly realized that the price of brothers and brothers was a bit too high, and he didn't want to help. Why just let this bastard go out and kill himself?

Anyway, Zhao Ji is the prince of the Song Dynasty. Even if the creditor has great reasons, he would not dare to go to Prince Duan’s Mansion to move things to pay the bill.

The emperors of the Song Dynasty, except for the foolish monarch Zhao Ji, all had a hobby, frugality.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, even if it is for people to see, it has achieved the ultimate that an emperor can do. Although the Shenzong used a large amount of amazing wealth in the treasury, it was because of war and I didn’t like extravagance. Zhao Xu was not old, but had a stingy grandmother who was also inspired by the family genes.

Every time he saw mountains of gold and silver in the royal treasury, he always felt indescribable satisfaction.

Zhao Xu used to lament the charm of money because he had no money to reward the palace ladies. If it weren't for the generosity and righteousness of Grandmaster Liu, he would have had to live a few years of hard life in the palace.

After finally waiting for him to take power, he finally found the pleasure of saving money. At the same time, the business snowflake salt that Mr. Liu had been transfusions to him had been given to the court, which was considered to be a large amount of money. In this way, he would not have much money in his hand. When he heard that his brother spoke 110,000 guan, he was a little bit waxed. He even regretted it, and it would be better to pretend not to know. Of course, if he was really interested, he would definitely be able to give this money in the treasury of the palace, but he was a little reluctant.

Anyway, Zhao Xu guessed that no matter how difficult Zhao Ji was, he would not dare to go to the palace to borrow money from him.

After pondering for a long time, Emperor Zhao Xu finally took out a handwritten order and asked Tong Guan to give it to Zhao Ji. Before leaving, he sighed: "There are only so many people who can help you, brother."

Tong Guan waited for Zhao Xu to walk away with great scheming, and then gave the handwritten order to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji was grateful to Tong Guan and said, "Please give me a gift to you and give Xiao Wang a chance to thank my father-in-law."

"Another day, let's talk about it again!"

Tong Guan said absent-mindedly, then took the opportunity to say goodbye: "Prince, I have something to do with me. Just go to the treasury to get the money."

Zhao Ji felt the stone in his heart, and he was in a good mood. He asked someone to go to the treasury to move money. He thought in his heart that it was too frustrating to be a prince. How could he spend only 30,000 yuan a year's salary?

He looked at the emperor's handwriting casually and was stunned. Ten thousand coins?

He felt that it must be the emperor's brother who wrote the wrong thing, so he immediately turned his head and wanted to run into the palace. But he was stopped and shouted anxiously: "Gu is the King of Duan, who dares to stop me?"

"Your Majesty, the money is fine."

Just as King Duan was excited, a sharp voice suddenly spoke at the side. He looked down and saw that it was the little eunuch beside Tong Guan. At this moment, he understood everything. He left angrily. On the way, the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable. He suddenly stared at the emperor's handwriting and touched his chin to think about it.

This word is so ordinary, and it is not a problem to imitate yourself.

If you don’t use a seal, you seem to be able to get away with it.

In the palace, Zhao Xu thought of his brother guiltily and lamented in his heart: "It's not that the emperor's brother doesn't want to help you, and the emperor's treasury is not sufficient."

"Your Majesty, it's not good." The treasury manager hurried to Tong Guan.

"King Duan took away 110,000 guan from the treasury."

"What, isn't it ten thousand yuan?" Zhao Xu jumped up quickly and hurriedly took the handwriting he gave to Zhao Ji from Tong Guan's hand. After seeing it, he understood everything.

The handwritten order is fake, and this guy Zhao Ji actually dared to forge the handwritten order.

At this moment, the anger on Zhao Xu's face was as dense as a dark cloud, layer by layer, and gritted his teeth and said, "Good boy, I'm blind."

"Your Majesty, do you want it?" Tong Guan fanned the flames from the side.

Zhao Xu glared angrily and said angrily: "Do you want everyone in the world to know that my prince of the Song Dynasty dares to deceive the king? If you really make a fuss, wouldn't you let the people in the world laugh at me for being tragic?"

The crime of deceiving the king may not necessarily lead to death, but the punishment will definitely not be light.

It is possible to deprive the king of lords.

But Zhao Xu is a person who wants to save face. His brother cheated him and could only knock him down and swallow it. However, it was difficult to calm down when he couldn't breathe. He said to Tong Guan: "There is no need to go to court in the future. Let him reflect at home." This is reasonable. After all, King Duan is famous in Bianliang City. To be serious, the entire royal family has slandered him, and it is reasonable to be confined.

The princes of the Song Dynasty were basically kept in the capital, and there was almost no possibility of being released.

Most of the princes of the Song Dynasty still have official positions, and when they go to court, they have to go to court with the court officials. When they quarrel in the court, they only have the power to yell a few times, and they have no real power. Depriving Duan of the qualification to go to court is the ultimate vent for Zhao Xu to vent his dissatisfaction with Duan. If it is too much, it should be a surrender to the title of prince, which will make people feel that Zhao Xu has no tolerance.

After the emperor issued the order to confine himself to King Duan, Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that the emperor would not let him go. Although he was the elder brother, the Tian family had no affection. Even if they were friendly and respectful, Zhao Xu would take care of his brothers because there was no threat.

After this incident, King Duan gradually disappeared from the court's sight.

I don’t know if it was Zhao Xu intentionally or unintentionally, but King Duan didn’t even have the grace of summoning the palace. In the past, King Duan would always have ten days to accompany him in one month. The main reason was that King Duan Zhao Ji was the best prince in the royal family and could compete with the emperor for football skills. But would Zhao Xu lack a ball friend?

Now that the brotherhood has broken down, the ball player has completely turned against each other.

Outside the city of Fushi.

Fan Chunren looked into the distance on the city tower, but unfortunately facing the wind, he didn't see anyone except crying. Since he heard about the mission's return to Beijing, he has been waiting on the city tower for a long time every day. This caused officials from all over the city city to follow Fan Chunren and wait for the mission to return.

He is the Grand Secretary of Guanwen Hall. Although he is no longer the prime minister, the prime minister's glory is still there.

Zhou Yuan, the newly promoted "Wild Road Magistrate", could only accompany Fan Chunren to suffer from the cold.

The reason why Zhou Yuan was the wild magistrate among the prefectures was mainly because he did not have the qualifications of a Beijing official, which was very worried. The civil servants in the Song Dynasty had a high status, but civil servants were divided into different levels. Li Kui had been an official in the Secretariat, and as long as he did not commit suicide, his future was limitless. Zhou Yuan had been a low-level civil servant, and the capital official had no hope, and this would be the case in his life.

Just like Master Zhong, he has been an official for almost twenty years. Although he had previously been promoted to the position of Changping Envoy on Qinfeng Road, this was already the peak he could reach among civil servants.

The magistrate, only the magistrate who has a post-official office and a court, is the elite bureaucrat that the court truly attaches importance to.

How could a museum, such as Guange, Longtu, Tianzhang, and Baowen, be able to become an official in the capital? Unless he used his credit for his direct bachelor's status as a direct scholar like Zhang Shi, otherwise, the fortune-telling commander would be the pinnacle of his career.

After tightening his cloak, Zhou Yuan took a look at Master Zhong beside him. He was a little short of breath. He was really weak in body and belonged to a serious and weak scholar.

Can you take the teacher's way?

This is a son of a general, with a strong figure and powerful Kong and martial arts. Of course, the Zhong Shidao family is a family heir of civil and military affairs, and is also a very rare category in the Song Dynasty.

Looking at Fan Chunren again, the old Fan family is very strange. They are obviously from the south, but their family has made their fortunes in the northwest. Starting from Fan Zhongyan, as long as the children of the Fan family become officials, they will choose to come to the northwest to be officials. They will also serve as the governor of Qingzhou. Fan Chuncui is like this, and Fan Chunren is like this. This is the emperor's favor for the Fan family. Fan Chunren came to the northwest, not only did he not get used to it, but he felt like he was in water, and he was not afraid of the cold.

Exhausting the remaining heat from his body, Zhou Yuan lamented, his body could hardly hold back.

"Sir, the mission is back!"

As the personal guards heard the excitement of their excitement, Fan Chunren moved his steps. Mr. Zhong hurriedly went up to support him, and was on the edge of the battlement, trying hard to open his eyes. He seemed to see black spots in his sight. After waiting for a while, he could see clearly the flag facing the wind. Fan Chunren waved his hand and ordered Mr. Zhong, "Go down to the city tower and welcome the mission."

"I'm so kind, I'll be in trouble."

When facing Fan Chunren, An Tao did not dare to be arrogant. This person's face was definitely the first-class person in the Song Dynasty. When Wang Anshi reformed, there were many officials who gave Wang Anshi eye drops, and no one in Shenzong listened to him. However, Fan Chunren was a Tongzhi in the Censorate and wrote letters to Emperor Shenzong and reported bad things about Wang Anshi, but Shenzong kept praising Fan Chunren for his integrity.

If it were other officials, they would have been demoted by the emperor long ago.

If Fan Chunren hadn't become more and more active, Emperor Shenzong could not bear it, so he sent him to Qingzhou.

On the surface, this was considered exile. But in fact, this was the father and son who ruled Qingzhou at the same time. In an era when the emperor of the Song Dynasty was very suspicious, it was not considered exiled at all, but rather an honor.

It can be seen that the Fan family has a lot of face in the Song Dynasty.

Even a person who is so proud of Wang Anshi can only be careful when facing Fan Chunren. The reason is very simple. Most of Wang Anshi's reforms were copied from Fan Zhongyan's reforms. He could not escape the master and apprentice's reputation and did not dare to be arrogant in front of the Fan family.

In front of Fan Zhongyan, An Tao did not dare to take the airs of the Privy Councilor and got out of the car from afar.

"Brother Houqing, I don't know if the negotiations will go smoothly."

"Although Xixia was unwilling to live up to its trust, it still confirmed that the four prefectures belonged to our Song Dynasty. Although it did not take back the gateway of Hengshan in Youzhou, Xixia promised not to station troops in Youzhou. For at least ten years, as long as Your Majesty does not plan to recover the Hexi Corridor, the war will probably not be able to arise."

"Okay, OK!"

Fan Chunren held An Tao's arms and couldn't help but use force. Since the reign of Emperor Renzong, Xixia has always been a confidant of the Song Dynasty. Although his father Fan Zhongyan used the method of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields to curb the Xixia from the Song Dynasty to plunder the population and supplies, Fan Zhongyan had no good way to face Xixia.

Governing the northwest and stabilizing the frontier is also the ambition of the old Fan family.

Unfortunately, the Qingli New Deal failed in just a few months, and then Fan Zhongyan completely lost the hope of returning to the court, let alone managing the northwest.

He and his brother Fan Chuncui were in the northwest under the situation where the Song Dynasty was unfavorable to Western Xia, and they were unable to fulfill their father's ambitions.

Unexpectedly, in the end of his career, he caught up with the situation where the Song Dynasty won a great victory over the Western Xia. Although this situation came a bit strange, the ending was the same for him.

"teacher!"

"A master, he has grown taller, stronger, and darker!" Li Kui and Zhou Yuan, the master and apprentice, finally met. But as soon as they met, Li Kui found that Zhou Yuan's mouth seemed to have become poisonous.

An Tao helped Fan Chunren into the city. Li Kui followed Zhou Yuan into Fushi City. While walking, he asked: "Can the teacher get used to it in Fushi?"

"There is nothing but a little colder." Zhou Yuan couldn't help but shivered. He was a real southerner and lacked the ability to resist the cold in the northwest.

Li Kui immediately said: "It's not cold to pretend to be a dragon in the official residence."

"It may be criticized for consuming the treasury." Zhou Yuan sighed. He was still not confident in becoming an official, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Li Kui patted his chest and said, "What are we afraid of when we spend our own money?"

Zhou Yuan was Li Kui's serious teacher. Their master-apprentice status was actually very rare in the Song Dynasty. Li Kui was a student of Jinshi from a mountain boy. It was precisely because of Zhou Yuan that Li Kui entered the Su family and had the opportunity to study at Su Shi's home. He was able to study under Huang Tingjian when he was taking the imperial examination.

Although Zhou Yuan did not contribute to all this, Li Kui would be grateful to Zhou Yuan for the rest of his life.

Even after Zhou Yuan first accepted Li Kui as his disciple, he regretted it now. His eyes looked at Li Kui very complicated. Su Shi had ignored Zhou Yuan very much, and now he was even more serious than before. When he wrote letters to Su Shi, Su Shi's reply letters asked about Li Kui, which made him feel a bitterness that his teacher loved.

After the reception banquet, Zhou Yuan left Li Kui to speak, and inadvertently Zhou Yuan said worriedly: "There will be no war in Yan'an Prefecture in the future?"

The establishment of Fuyan Road was to defend against the Western Xia and not fight. How could he, the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, still make achievements? Of course, he could not command the battle, but in the past, the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture could make achievements even if he built a fortress, which made him stunned.

"Teacher, this is a good thing!" Li Kui felt that Zhou Yuan was a little dark-hearted and was looking forward to the war. Isn't this hoping that the people in the jurisdiction will suffer with him?

Zhou Yuan had another concern: "Heroes of Renren, I won't mention the tax on Yan'an Prefecture, and I'll basically not be able to collect it. The land tax is even more meager. If you serve as an official and have no achievements, you may not be promoted in your life! Heroes of Renren, you are good at business, can you make Yan'an Prefecture rich?"

"This broken place..."

"snort!"

Facing Zhou Yuan's rolling eyes, Li Kui nodded reluctantly and said, "Teacher, I'll think of a solution."
