"Yes, yes." Mo Niangzi nodded sympathetically.

The family is bankrupt, how pitiful! It's understandable not to want people to know. And Ji Yi also plans to marry Zhang Dan's granddaughter after winning the Jinshi, what if people know that Ji Yi is bankrupt and dislike him?

Ji Yi said again: "No one will say it, including Wu Haogu. ”

"Well, slave knows." Mo Niangzi nodded.

"This note will be delivered to you in a few days." Ji Yi said slowly, his brows were already furrowed and tightened.

He is a little anxious, and in a hurry, he can be regarded as having a way that is not a way - that is, to drag Wu Haogu into the water and see if he can carry the black cauldron on his back.

He doesn't dare to betray Zhang Dian now, the taste of Heding Red is said to be very bad...... Even if you want to sell, it's not now!

But he didn't dare to come out and deceive King Duan by himself. He is Zhangdun's person, there is no way, and the officialdom knows that he wants to marry Zhangdun's granddaughter. However, this article alone will not go to Danzhou, and this will be the remnant of his life. The marriage of political enemies in the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty was very common, and it was normal for him to marry the daughter of the prime minister. Even if he is regarded as a henchman of Zhangdun, it is nothing, Zhangdun is now alone, there are so many henchmen that they are dying, how can they all go to Danzhou? They all went to Danzhou, who will be the official?

Therefore, those who go to Danzhou are the "first evil", and if they help the deceitful king "disappear" at a critical moment, it will be the first evil. It's good to go to Danzhou, where there is such a first evil......

Therefore, this first evil, you must not be responsible!

But who will be the first evil?

Ji Yi thought of Wu Haogu!

He is the only one who can do the worst...... He has a good relationship with Zhao Ji, and he also runs the No. 1 singing and selling house in Kaifeng Mansion. found a treasure like "Pen Array Diagram" and asked Zhao Ji to see it, which is normal. When the time comes, he will be able to make clever arrangements, and he will unknowingly and unknowingly deceive Zhao Ji out of Duanwang's mansion......

Of course, Wu Haogu is a merchant who is fortunate to be a military attaché, if he makes a big mistake on the issue of establishing a prince, it is not a matter of going to Danzhou to see the sea, but to kill his head!

……

Wu Haogu didn't know at this time that his head was already at risk of moving - he was quite happy now, he was about to become a father, and he also knew that Zhao Xu was dying, I don't know what day it was, but I knew it soon.

As soon as Zhao Xu died, his good buddy Zhao Ji was about to ascend the throne. When the time comes, the backstage of his own happiness will be even harder. There is no need to worry about it in the next twenty years, if you can help the Great Song Dynasty avoid the difficulties of Jingkang, then several generations will not be worried. If the shame of Jingkang is inevitable, then Jiehe Commercial City can also develop into the path of the Republican Province, the Republic Province, and the Republic. Maybe I can still be a father of the nation, which is also good.

As for not letting Zhao Ji be Song Huizong or something...... Wu Haogu might have thought so when he first crossed over, but now, he is not stupid. Why are you going to get involved in the dispute over the establishment of the reserve? Moreover, according to the system of the Song Dynasty, civil officials could discuss the matter of establishing a prince. Zhang Dian said that whether King Duan was frivolous, or whether King Duan had a blessed life, it was okay, and Zhao Ji couldn't rectify him in this name.

However, military attachés cannot be involved, military attaches can only obey orders, the emperor is listening to the emperor, the emperor does not listen to the queen mother, and the queen mother listens to the queen if she does not have it, in short, you cannot raise different opinions on this issue. Otherwise, it is a taboo, and Yue Fei in history once committed this taboo.

However, Wu Haogu is not a brave and loyal Yue Fei, but he is not interested in touching this moldy head. And Zhao Ji has a good relationship with himself, why don't you let him be the emperor?

So when Ji Yi was about to set up a set for Wu Haogu, Wu Haogu was bringing his own painting tools to follow Zhao Ji into the palace - entering the palace with painting tools on his back during the New Year, naturally it was to pat himself on the back!

As a fortunate dirty official, you must always keep in mind the important work of patting sycophants. We can't just think about taking the evil road of capitalism and forget to shoot the sycophants of feudalism!

So this year, he didn't eat Chinese New Year's Eve, and offered to paint an oil painting for the official family and the Queen Mother to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve.

This "loyalty" was reported to the Queen Mother through Zhao Ji, and the Queen Mother was naturally happy, so she made a decree to let Zhao Ji take Wu Haogu into the palace to paint - Wu Haogu actually has a title of painting, and it is also his job to enter the palace to paint for the official family and the Queen Mother.

In addition, Wu Haogu also wanted to inquire about the physical condition of the official Zhao Xu when he entered the palace. He knew that Zhao Xu's life was short, but he didn't know when he died? I don't know if Zhao Xu will be happy because of a few happy events in the second year of Yuan Fu, and his body can support him for a few more days?

He was now a little worried that Zhao Xu would survive until Emperor Zhao Huan (Qinzong) was born before he died. In this way, there will be nothing to do with Zhao Ji...... Before, Wu Haogu might have thought that without Song Huizong, the faint monarch, the Great Song Dynasty would be able to maintain.

But now he knows that the problem of the Song Dynasty is actually in education! The failure of the Song Dynasty was a failure of education, and it could not train the successors of feudalism who were Yunwen and Yunwu. Few of the generals in Kaifeng Prefecture can fight, and the civil officials who have passed the imperial examination are not strong in terms of ability except for moral articles, especially military ability.

As a result, the peaceful and prosperous era of the Great Song Dynasty was extremely fragile, and he knelt down when he met a Jurchen barbarian who was particularly capable of fighting.

In order to change this situation, it is necessary to change the "examination of scholars" to "education to rejuvenate the country", and such a major reform, if there is no Song Huizong as a starting point, he would not be able to promote it at all.

Even, even the Jiehe Commercial Market, which he worked so hard to build, may close its doors because it does not have a backstage like steel plates.

So he had to see Zhao Xu up close today, so that he could rest assured that he would celebrate the New Year.

"Your Majesty, you are in the court quite early today."

When riding a horse to the crowded Panlou Street, Wu Haogu inquired about Zhao Xu's physical condition.

"That is, the official family has to stay up all night tonight, and tomorrow they have to accept the pilgrimage at Donghua Gate, and they have to meet the envoys of various countries, and they have to give a banquet to Mrs. Liang and the blind at noon, and they have to be busy until dusk before they can take a breath. On the first day of the new year, you have to worship your ancestors, and you have to go to Qionglin Yuan to give a banquet to the envoys of the Liao State, and on the second day of the first month, you have to give a banquet to the envoys of the Western Xia, and you have to go to Jingling Palace (Royal Taoist Temple) to burn incense. If we were like this, it would be fine, and it wouldn't be good if we didn't sleep for a few days, but he couldn't......"

Zhao Ji's tone sounded very sad, obviously he didn't expect that his brother died and the emperor did it.

"Can't you?"

"Yes, my face is ugly, and I don't know what kind of disease I have...... By the way, Dalang, don't talk nonsense. ”

"Yes, yes." Wu Haogu paused, "Can't you let him rest?" ”

"Where will he rest?" Zhao Ji smiled bitterly, "After dispersing today, Zhun Bao asked the ministers in the Chongzheng Hall to have lunch. There was a whole bunch of Chinese New Year's Eve gifts to be made after lunch......"

Will it be exhausting to death? Wu Haogu thought to himself, he knew that the emperor's schedule was full of ten days between Chinese New Year's Eve and the Shangyuan Festival, and he was about to become a dog!

If Zhao Xu is as strong as Zhao Ji, it would be fine, but he is a sick man, most of them have kidney disease, and he may be able to live a few more days if he takes care of it, if he is very tired, will it ...... How many days has it been?

Song Huizong is coming soon?

……

When Zhao Ji and Wu Haogu and his party were blocked on Panlou Street and walked slowly, the official Zhao Xu was drinking porridge while reading the "Republic of Business Covenant".

His appetite has been very poor recently, and he is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, so he simply let the imperial dining room boil some five-flavor meat porridge, but he can still eat a little.

"Li Zhong, Tong Guan." Zhao Xu suddenly frowned, and called the names of the two eunuchs standing in the Chongzheng Palace.

"This 'Republic of Commerce' ......," Zhao Xu considered his words, "do you think that this 'Commercial Covenant' can actually be used to govern the world?" ”

The two eunuchs were stunned, not knowing how to answer Zhao Xu's question.

Zhao Xu muttered to himself: "The council of elders supervises the government, the administration of the government office, and the majority of the capital security, the police patrol station, and the water patrol station are in charge of military affairs, so won't this be able to govern the country?"

Moreover, there seems to be merit in separating the deliberation and administration from the administration, because it can not only divide the power of domination and power of supervision, but also practice sole responsibility, which is much better than the group system. The officials don't have to be so tired......"

What Zhao Xu said was actually sincere, and he now sincerely hoped that the Great Song Dynasty could also implement the methods in the "Republic of Commerce". Because he knew that he was going to die, and in the future, the Lord Shaoguo was suspicious (he was still unwilling to accept the reality that he was going to die soon), and the Queen Mother listened to the government...... And he also knew that Empress Liu did not have the same skills as his grandmother, Empress Dowager Gao, and was even a little naïve.

It is indeed a bit uneasy to let such a woman face the ministers, and it would be nice if there was a patriarch who would supervise the prime minister.

As for engaging a group of prime ministers to fight each other, Zhao Xu also thinks it's not good. Fighting in the court every day, it's annoying to watch, and there is no efficiency at all. It's better to go to the senate and pinch ...... There is a special fight, and then a vote, and then the Queen Mother approves and the Prime Minister will implement it.

Of course, this system is also used when the young monarch and heroine are used. If there is really a Ming monarch like himself, the power of the senate will be too great.

However, it is undeniable that the "Republic Commercial Covenant" tossed by Wu Haogu can really govern the country!

Zhao Xu saw the extraordinary features of the "Republic of Commerce", but he did not think about the road of the republic.

He had no idea there was such a thing as a republic! And he didn't think that Wu Haogu was ambitious, and careerists wanted to seize power, so how could it be possible to have a senator to divide power?

Will the rebellion be voted on by the Senate in the future? Isn't that a joke?

"Wizard!" Zhao Xu closed the text of the business agreement brought by Li Zhong, and said with some emotion, "This person's ability is not under Wang Anshi!" It's a pity that he was born decades late, otherwise Xining's reform would definitely be better. ”
