"Official, the envoy of Champa has arrived."

Zhao Shu was dozing.

It's too hot, get a few ice basins in the house, and then sit and want to doze off.

That groggy, half-asleep state is really comfortable!

Chen Zhongheng's voice seemed to come from another world, and it seemed a little ethereal.

"Who?"

Zhao Shu slowly opened his eyes, feeling that his throat and eyes were very dry, and his voice was hoarse.

At this time, you can see that the eyesight is coming.

The waiter on the side was still in a daze, and Chen Zhongheng had already gone to fetch warm tea.

"Official, the envoy of Champa is here."

Chen Zhongheng handed over the warm tea and said, "At this time, cold tea hurts the body, but warm tea is better." ”

Zhao Shu took a sip of tea, his throat was much more comfortable, and he nodded slightly, and the waiter on the side couldn't help but secretly regret it, thinking why didn't he take the lead?

He serves by Zhao Shu's side, but he is more responsible for the affairs of life, unlike Chen Zhongheng, who can touch everything. People say that an unmotivated chamberlain is not a good eunuch, and he has been aiming at Chen Zhongheng for a long time.

"Go right away."

Zhao Shu got up to change clothes, and Chen Zhongheng naturally didn't need to accompany him, so he stood outside the door.

The chamberlain took the opportunity to ask, "Chen Duzhi, how do you know that the official family wants to drink warm tea?" ”

"Put yourself in their shoes."

Chen Zhongheng only said four words, and when the waiter thought about it carefully, he felt that it was infinitely useful.

"Is it because you put yourself in the shoes of the officials? Thank you very much. ”

Chen Zhongheng snorted, and when Zhao Shu came out, he said, "The official family is careful of their feet." ”

Zhao Shu only felt that his shoulders and waist were not his own, and he was very sore.

He said with emotion while struggling down the steps: "I thought there would be nothing after digging for a long time, but I almost couldn't get up the next day, and I still had a hard time today. If you don't work, you don't know how hard the work is, but I think that the officials of the world should work in the fields for a few days every year, and really experience the hard work of farmers. ”

The chamberlain pondered the four words of putting himself in his shoes, and he didn't have some experience until he reached the front of the hall.

Several officials in the ceremonial room were waiting, and when they saw the officials coming, they bowed and saluted.

The chamberlain happened to think of a trick, so he said: "The official, you can order the officials of the world to work in the field, and those who don't go will be deducted." ”

What he was most afraid of was being detained, so when he put himself in his shoes, he felt that this trick was good.

Several officials in the ceremonial room looked at him in amazement, not knowing what he meant.

Every year, the officials of the world have to go to the fields to do farm work for a few days?

If you don't go, you'll be deducted, this is a bit too much.

You say that those who are idle and have nothing to do will go, forget it, how can busy officials make time...... When the time comes, who will be convinced if they deduct money for no reason?

Zhao Shu didn't expect the people around him to suddenly say this, he said with a straight face: "Get out!" ”

The chamberlain was dumbfounded, and when he saw the face of the official in the ceremonial room, he knew that he had made a mistake.

It is not new for the chamberlain to interfere in the affairs of the court, for example, Chen Zhongheng occasionally makes some suggestions, but don't do it in front of the officials!

Although the officials of the Great Song Dynasty were not as vigilant as the Ming Dynasty, the painful lesson that the eunuchs of the former Tang Dynasty could manipulate the rise and fall of the throne still echoed in their minds, so once there were signs of the inner servants being domineering, Na Shu would drown Zhao Shu.

"It's Chen Duzhi......"

Before the chamberlain could speak, Chen Zhongheng knelt down and said, "He asked the minister why he did things safely, and the minister said four words...... Place oneself in somebody's shoes. ”

Zhao Shu's eyes stared at him coldly, and after hearing these four words, his face turned slightly pale.

The chamberlain's face was as dead as ashes, and he said, "He lied! ”

Zhao Shu is not Zhao Zhen, he will not be soft-hearted.

"Take it!"

Two chamberlains came over and dragged them out, and then the shouts were silenced.

Zhao Shu glanced at Chen Zhongheng and said, "You are doing things safely, I know." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Shu is showing grace, which is very rare.

"Let the Champa envoy come."

Later on, the Zaifu will come first. After seeing Han Qi, Zhao Shu said, "Isn't Han Qing sick?" ”

He promised Han Qi a sick leave, but why did this person come?

Han Qi said: "The minister invited Shen An to come for diagnosis and treatment, and said that it was no big deal, but the minister thought about political affairs and didn't dare to be lazy, so he came." ”

He is the prime minister, and if he takes too much time off, his rights will be eroded.

Ah, right! Who wants to give up.

Therefore, as long as Han Qi can walk, he refuses to rest and recuperate at home.

"The messenger of Champa is coming."

The Champa envoy was brought in, and after the salute, he presented the gift list.

This is the rule, you have to show something when paying tribute, and it is usually a local product of your country.

"Thank you, the messenger of hard work."

Of course, Zhao Shu was not interested in reading the gift list, and the messenger did not expect him to read it.

"Your Majesty, the foreign minister is here this time for the invasion of Jiaozhi...... There is also real wax. The envoy of Champa looked sad, "Under the attack of the two countries, Champa is miserable, and I also ask Your Majesty to send reinforcements for the sake of Champ's loyalty." ”

Zhao Shu said lightly: "I know, go back and send my courtiers to discuss with you." ”

What rice?

The Champa envoy felt that there was something wrong with his ears and had auditory hallucinations.

The city of Zhan is sandwiched by Jiaozhi and Zhenla, the soldiers are unfavorable, and they are always beaten with their heads, so every time they come to pay tribute, most of them will ask for help by the way.

In the past, the Great Song Dynasty was soothing and perfunctory. Zhancheng also knew that Da Song estimated that he couldn't beat Jiaozhi, but he had to contain it! So the contribution continues.

But this time it was necessary to deliberate carefully?

My God, has the Great Song Dynasty's attitude towards Champa changed?

The envoy couldn't help but raise his head and glanced at Zhao Shu enthusiastically.

This glance made Zhao Shu a little panicked, and said, "That's it." ”

The messenger retired.

Han Qi watched him go out and said, "Your Majesty, when Jiaozhi used to belong to the Central Plains, the city was invaded endlessly, and it was even more hateful than today's Jiaozhi. Now they are fighting with Jiaozhi and Zhenla, which is a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty, and they must not act hastily and disturb the balance of power between the three kingdoms. ”

Geopolitics is a matter of course, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State and the Western Xia are one balance of power, while Jiaozhi and Zhancheng and Zhenla are another balance of power. Under the balance of power, the situation has changed, but it has been stable. If the balance of power is broken, it will be a storm and a pestle of blood.

Zhao Shu nodded, "I know, so ...... Is Shen An happy to take care of the children at home? ”

Since the birth of his son, Shen An has become a father, and he can't go out with his son.

In this era, no matter how close the relationship between father and son is, there is no such thing as Shen An, and the outside world laughs about it.

Han Qi said with a smile: "It is said that he also changed the child's diaper himself. ”

The corners of Zhao Shu's eyes twitched, and he felt that Shen An, the twenty-four filial piety father, was really enough.

Zeng Gongliang quipped: "Your Majesty, is there anything extraordinary about Shen An's son?" ”

Oh, yes! Shen An attaches so much importance to it, maybe there really is!

Han Qi's words made Zhao Shu smile, "That kid doesn't have anything special. ”

In ancient times, giving birth to a child was always prone to omen, what red sun into the arms, red light did not disperse for three days, the fragrance did not disperse for three days, there were phoenix birds dancing, and there were spirit monkeys offering auspicious ......

If you didn't make it auspicious when you were born, make up for it when you were a child.

For example, Sima Guang smashed the cylinder, which was not enough, and then killed the big snake, so he became famous.

Shen An is from the next generation, don't say anything about smashing the cylinder, all kinds of smart or magical performances of those children will be posted on the Internet, so he has no curiosity about the so-called smashing cylinder at all.

There will be more children in the future than you are cows.

Han Qi glanced at Zhao Shu and said, "Official, this ...... Shen An was not a threat. ”

He felt that this was the news that Zhao Shu had sent someone from the Imperial City Division to infiltrate the Shen family to investigate, so he was a little dissatisfied.

He Han Zhigui is a good man with clear grievances, Shen An will save him and water and fire, how can he sit back and watch Shen An being stared at by secret spies?

Thinking that what he did at home every day was watched by someone, and then reported it, Han Qi felt uncomfortable, and even wanted to get angry.

Zhao Shu was stunned, but Han Qi began to perform dominantly.

He took a step forward and raised his head and said: "The monarch and the ministers are trusting, and the officials don't trust the courtiers so much, what will happen if the courtiers know about it?" Also, the Imperial City Division came forward to investigate the courtier's house, this is taboo, right? There was no ...... when the first emperor was there The ministers asked the officials to think about it and remove the people from the Imperial City Division, otherwise the hearts of the people will be cold. ”

These words can be called domineering, and only Han Qi and Bao Zheng can say it so straightforwardly.

The point is that these words have swept the face of the official family!

Doesn't the emperor want to lose face? Is it appropriate for you Han Zhigui to slap your face like this?

Zeng Gongliang glanced at Zhao Shu worriedly, and found that his face was calm, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Zhao Shu is sick, and everyone vaguely knows about this, so they rarely stimulate him.

But Han Qi's words went too far, Zeng Gongliang was worried that Zhao Shu would have a seizure, and then became hysterical.

Zhao Shu is very calm, which means that his physical condition has improved a lot.

"Your Majesty's health is much better, congratulations!"

He couldn't help but say this, Han Qi also found out about the situation, and then said happily: "Congratulations to the official family." ”

Ouyang Xiu's eyes were dizzy and he couldn't see clearly, so he could only follow the big stream to congratulate.

Zhao Shu said coldly: "It was Bao Zheng who said it." ”

Belch!

Han Qi's impassioned excitement instantly turned into embarrassment, he looked left and right, and said, "Today's weather is good!" It's very cool. ”

This shameless Han Ji-kyu!

Zhao Shu continued to make up for it: "Everyone adopts a son who wants to be smart, but he is mistaken by being smart for a lifetime. I hope that the child will be stupid and reckless, and there will be no disaster and no difficulty to the minister. ”

As soon as this poem came out, Han Qi couldn't help but praise: "Good poem, good poem!" ”

This poem is not remarkable, but it is full of pity, which makes people feel tender.

Zeng Gongliang praised: "Look at the annals, how many smart people think they are smart and end up unlucky." Or too clever to get involved in something you shouldn't be mixed in, hey! I hope that the child will be stupid and reckless, and there will be no disaster and no difficulty to the minister. Your Majesty's poem went to the heart of the minister. ”

Everyone thinks of the ups and downs in the first half of Zhao Shu's life, and they can't help but feel a little insightful.

If Zhao Shu was not smart back then, then he would have a lot less trouble, and he would not have been tossed out of those problems.

Zhao Shu chuckled and said, "This is made by Shen An." ”

He was satisfied to see that the faces of the Zaifu became more and more embarrassed.

You are embarrassed, you are not comfortable, I am comfortable.

At this moment, he had the same idea as Zhao Zhen back then.

……

Good night everyone!
