Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that things had progressed, and he just wanted to retire, but the official Zhao Xu opened his mouth again, and said very quietly, his tone was full of sadness.

"Zhang Qing, I know that you are dedicated to the country, but my body is ...... The matter of military training and rectification of the east and west roads of Hebei can be consulted in detail first, but for the time being, we can't really do it, do you know why? ”

"Your Majesty......"

Of course, Zhang Dian understood what Zhao Xu meant, he was worried that he would die young...... Zhang, as a traitor, has ears and eyes in the palace, and knows that the emperor's old waist is not good! The body is getting weaker and weaker, and the doctors of Hanlin are helpless - Emperor Zhezong estimates that he has advanced chronic kidney disease and has to have a kidney replacement or dialysis!

When I thought of the official family's body, tears of sadness fell, not only for the official family, but also for the Great Song Dynasty.

It's a critical time!

There was a tendency to collapse within the Liao Dynasty, and all kinds of forces were ready to move. If the Great Song Dynasty is presided over by Mingjun, and if you prepare well for ten or eight years, most of you will be able to take the opportunity to calm Liao and restore Yan, which is a meritorious achievement for thousands of generations!

But if the official Zhao Xu is gone at this juncture, and the chaotic Empress Xiang takes power, the new law will be abolished, the new party will be reprimanded, and ten or eight years will be abandoned in the blink of an eye. Once the Liao State collapses in the coming days, seven or eight out of ten of the Great Song Dynasty will also be involved......

What can we do with this world of flowers?

"Now it's up to King Duan's ability!" Zhao Xu smiled bitterly, "My body can always last for a few years...... And King Duan will get married next month, his body can be strong, and his princess looks like she can have children, if she can have a son in the coming year, I will adopt him as an adopted son, and ...... in the future In the future, if I don't give up, it will be the young queen mother, and you will be the minister of life. When the time comes, even the soldiers will be trained, and the east and west roads of Hebei will also be organized! ”

What Zhao Xu said was not to test Zhang Dan, although he was a faint monarch, but he saw one thing very clearly - it is impossible for such a thing as seeking a dynasty to usurp the throne in today's Great Song Dynasty, and it is even more impossible for Zhang Dian and Zhang Qi to do that. The one who really poses a threat to the Great Song Dynasty cannot be a powerful minister, nor can it be a military attache who is more loyal than a dog, but can only be a Hu Lu like a beast.

Now the party has been temporarily restrained, but Da Liao, who has been in peace with the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, has come to the end of the national fortune.

And if the Great Song Dynasty can't take advantage of the collapse of the Liao State and the chaos of the Northern Dynasty to recover the 14 states of Yanyun, then once the Northern Dynasty has a new lord in the future, the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger......

However, Zhao Xu was also unwilling to do things that greatly violated the ancestral system when the country was decided. Because in the case of the "national capital", that is, the heir to the throne, it is very inappropriate to let the ministers get involved in the military power.

It is very likely that there will be a situation where the ministers will use the army to seize the "merit of making decisions", and if this kind of thing really happens, the harmonious situation of the great Song Dynasty's current monarchy and courtiers will have bad changes.

If Zhao Ji can live up to expectations and succeed in planting as soon as possible, Zhao Xu will be able to have an adopted son who will inherit the throne, and the country will be sure, and he will be able to violate the ancestral family law in a big way. Moreover, traitors such as Zhang Dian and Lu Huiqing can also let go of their hands and feet, and they don't have to worry about the death of the emperor, they are all driven to Yalong Bay by the Queen Mother.

So the future of the Great Song Dynasty now looks ...... It fell on His Royal Highness King Duan, who donated sperm for the country.

Zhao Ji, you must work hard!

……

Zhao Ji didn't know the great responsibility he was shouldering at this time...... However, he is still working very hard to prepare for the day when he will fulfill his responsibilities.

He is now practicing painting and sketching, playing with Xiushu (university textbook), and doing various physical exercises (juju, archery, horseback riding), while also studying the method of double cultivation with Master Li. Life can be regarded as fulfilling.

Sometimes he would go to the Christie's main store on Panlou Street – a very interesting thing for a prince who could not participate in politics, could not go to the imperial examination, and could not even leave Kaifeng Mansion.

And...... Christie's is still a place for Zhao Ji to prove his skills. He has sold several calligraphy and paintings at Christie's auctions, earning tens of thousands of yuan, and also obtained Cai Jing's "Luo Shen Fu" calligraphy.

This money is not too much for Zhao Ji, but it is a lot, and he earns it by his ability, which gives him a sense of accomplishment.

Christie's "Oiran" album and real estate business also made Zhao Ji find interesting.

The former has actually become a cash cow - all the printed albums are sold out, and no matter how many issues they have, they can be sold as long as they are available, and they can also be "premium", which is simply printing money!

But what surprised Zhao Ji even more was that. The biggest source of income for the "Oiran" album is not to sell the album, but to sell "tricks". All the green buildings in Kaifeng Mansion want to put the photos of the female singers they want to be popular in the "Oiran" album. The "tricks" were even taken to Christie's for "secret singing" - "secret singing" is a secret auction that is not public, and it is a trick that Su Dalang came up with after Wu Haogu left, specializing in selling some things that are not very public, such as "Ming Weapon", female tricks or something. The "trick slots" of the "Oiran" album were also taken to "secretly sing" once, and the twelve "trick slots" actually sold more than 33,000 yuan!

It's really unheard of and expensive, but it's worth it!

In addition, Christie's also got a few houses to sell songs, and also put "tricks" in the "Oiran" album, and finally sold it more expensive than the market......

This singing and selling house is really getting bigger and bigger, and everything can be sold!

When the singing and album business is becoming more and more prosperous, Christie's is still building a house for sale, and is now building a "model house", which is next to the painting fairy temple in the west of Kaifeng Mansion, which has begun to be built, and it will be completed in July or August.

In the study of Duanwang's Mansion, Zhao Ji was flying with a pen in front of the case, and the portrait of a beautiful woman soon appeared on the snow-white paper, and it was completed in a blink of an eye. Sitting opposite Zhao Ji as a model is Zhao Ji's favorite maid Chunlan. It is inconvenient for Master Li to come to the palace, so in the palace, Zhao Ji still loves her - but she doesn't know how many times she has been pampered, and her belly just doesn't bulge!

I don't know if it's her problem or Zhao Ji's problem, it's really worrying!

For this reason, Zhao Ji also went to the painting immortal temple to find Guo Daoshi and Liu Daoshi to tell their fortunes, both Taoist priests said that he had many sons, but God could not let these sons come, they came now, it would hinder the future of His Royal Highness Duanwang......

As for the reason, it is that the heavenly opportunity cannot be revealed.

Why does it "interfere" with your future? Is it because I'm too young to take care of children?

Zhao Ji put down the pencil, then looked up at Chunlan, who "can't give birth", picked up the pen again, and when he wanted to draw another one, the door was gently knocked. Zhao Ji put down his pen again and said, "Come in!" ”

Gao Yu pushed the door in response, first saluted Zhao Ji, and then said: "Your Highness, Wu Dalang's whereabouts are indeed unknown......

It turned out that Gao Yu had just come from the house rented by Chen Youwen, and the predecessor of the Hanlin Painting Institute seemed to have passed the low tide of his life, and got the opportunity to change officials, from Wenlin Lang to Deng Shilang, and had just been given the authority to edit the Privy Council.

It's really a twist and turn, and life is proud.

So the family was once again crowded, and the friends of the calligraphy and painting shop who originally walked around him got along with him again.

However, no matter how proud he was, he didn't dare to show Gao Yu's face, so he politely welcomed him into the house, and told Gao Yu about the Yanjing Rebellion in the original way.

"Why is it missing?" Zhao Ji was not in the mood to draw anymore, so he waved his hand to let Chunlan retreat.

"Your Highness, don't worry," Gao Yu said, "Wu Dalang is a Ji person's own natural appearance, and he will definitely return to Kaifeng Mansion safely." ”

Zhao Ji stood up, stomped a few steps in the study, and shook his head: "Gao Yu, having said that, I'm always a little worried." ”

Gao Yu thought for a while and said, "If Your Highness is not at ease, why don't you go to Christie's head office and sit down and see if they have any news?" ”

The people in Christie's main store have also been a little uneasy these days. Today's Christie's is still a start-up company by the standards of later generations. Don't look at the money that is overflowing, but the background of the business bank is not deep, and the operation and management are also very rough, and the reason why it can develop so fast is entirely because of such a soul figure as Wu Haogu.

If Wu Haogu disappears like this, Christie's road will probably come to an end, and there will be no more glorious future.

In addition, Christie's now has two big cash cows, which are definitely coveted properties. When Wu Haogu was there, others were afraid of his network - Wu Haogu was both Zhao Ji's buddy and a member of Cai Jingzhong's party - he didn't dare to move Jasic, and now Wu Haogu seems to be gone, I don't know how many people are sharpening their knives!

Gao Yu fully understands the key, so he will encourage Zhao Ji to go to Christie's main store to sit down whenever he has the opportunity.

As long as he, the great god, is still supporting Christie, then no one dares to openly talk to this business house that can "print money".

However, not daring to speak publicly does not mean that you dare not cut Christie's meat in private...... Just after the news of Wu Haogu's "disappearance" came, a large number of pirated copies of the "Oiran" album immediately appeared on the market!

Not only is it sold in Kaifeng Mansion, but even in the market of Daimyo's Mansion, Yingtianfu, Luoyang Mansion, Xuzhou, Haizhou and even Yangzhou, there are also pirated versions of "Oiran" for sale.

And this pirated version of "Oiran" is very beautifully printed, almost exactly like the original one!

In addition, a new singing and selling shop, which is also under construction recently, has a good name, called "Poly Dexing", which is also opened on Panlou Street, making it clear that it is going to have a dragon and tiger fight with Christie......
