As soon as he went to court the next day, after accepting the bowing of hundreds of officials, Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything, and immediately asked Zhang Dejun to issue a holy decree.

Zhang Dejun cleared his throat and slowly opened the holy decree written by Huang Juan:

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: There are people who serve today, Fan Zhen resigned and returned to his hometown due to old age and decrepitude, and I have been retaining him many times to no avail, but he is specially allowed to resign and return to his hometown because of his old age."

"However, the officer was conscientious and conscientious in his duties, without the slightest slackness, and specially sealed the quality of loyalty to the public as a reward and awarded the title of prince and concubine, and admired this."

This holy decree means that Fan Zhen is going to resign and go into hiding, and the emperor is reluctant to him, but there is no way.

The old man is already old and decrepit, and I can't use people to death, so I have to agree to his resignation.

This is sympathetic to the body of the elderly, sympathetic to the old courtiers, showing how humane the court is.

Fan Zhen has been doing his best for so many years (although he has only worked for Da Song for a year.) Now that they're leaving, be sure to say it.

Zhao Kuangyin also gave him the title of "loyal duke" without ambiguity, and the word loyalty means that Fan Zhen has been loyal for a lifetime. This is not just a matter of title, but also an affirmation of the quality.

Fan Zhen also knew this meaning, and as soon as the holy decree was read, he knelt down and thanked him:

"Thank you, old minister, Emperor Longen, long live my emperor." After working hard for most of his life, he has mixed up with the title of "duke", which can also glorify the ancestors.

"Okay, old prime minister, hurry up, although you have left the court, but I have something to ask you, don't refuse me."

Fan Zhen hurriedly said that the old minister didn't dare, and he also knew that Zhao Kuangyin's words were said to the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, that is, to make a gesture.

Everyone in the court also has no time to congratulate Fan Qian, there are rules in the court, this is not a vegetable market.

What everyone is most concerned about now is that since Fan Zhen has resigned and the emperor has agreed, then his position will be vacant.

So this vacant position must be replaced by someone, and now everyone wants to know most about who will take over Fan's position.

Everyone looked at the few who had the hope of becoming the first prime minister, and smiled at them in a friendly manner.

Now they feel that these people can become prime ministers anyway, and it is always good to invest a little more now.

"Brother Zeping, who do you think can be the next prime minister?"

Tao Gu, who was standing behind Zhao Pu, asked in a small voice. He himself didn't expect to become the prime minister, and he didn't have that strength.

Now that I can keep my position as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, I am very satisfied, and as for the rest, I don't want to.

"Brother Tao Gu, this matter is not something you and I can control, this is considered by His Majesty the Emperor, and those of us who are courtiers only need to abide by it."

Zhao Pu didn't care what they guessed at all, anyway, he knew that he would definitely be able to become the prime minister.

He still remembered that when Zhao Kuangyin left the Zhao Mansion that night, he said a sentence that made Zhao Pu excited, that is:

"Zhao Pu, it seems that you are really suitable to be the prime minister."

What does this sentence mean, it doesn't mean that Zhao Puneng can be this prime minister, your talent is enough.

"Okay, quiet, I still have something to say, that is, Fan Xiang has left but his position cannot be suspended, so I will appoint a new prime minister."

After saying that, the following discussion began, if it wasn't for the invention of that long-winged hat before, it is estimated that these ministers would be able to quarrel in the west.

"Okay, don't talk about it, I have already made a decision, I have also discussed it with a few ministers, and I have already given the candidates, so I will announce my decision."

As soon as the ministers heard this, they came to their senses, and now the emperor is going to personally promulgate this important news, and everyone is waiting with their ears pricked up.

"The former privy deputy envoy Zhao Pu worked sincerely during his tenure, which can be called an example of a hundred officials, and now I have decided to appoint Zhao Pu as a subordinate squire, a member of the Ping Zhangshi, and a scholar of the Jixian Palace, responsible for the responsibility of the prime minister."

Zhao Kuangyin's sentence caused an uproar, and no one thought that it would be Zhao Pu, an upstart who had just entered the Great Song Dynasty.

No one thought that he would be able to leap into the dragon gate and become the head of the hundred officials, although he has not yet become an official prime minister, but it is almost there.

Everyone sees that Zhao Pu is usually inconspicuous, but he didn't expect to be able to become his top boss in January.

It's really amazing, it seems that you have to be closer to others in the future, even if you don't, you can't offend people.

There was nothing going on in the entire early dynasty, but this was a big deal, and nothing else, so it quickly dispersed.

After the emperor left, everyone was in a hurry and became naughty with Zhao Pu, congratulating him on his promotion, and saying that he would set up a wine to celebrate.

"Brother Zhao Pu, I didn't expect you to become my boss now, isn't it Lord Zhao, hahaha."

Zhao Guangyi also joked about Zhao Pu, in fact, he was really joking, Zhao Pu can't say that he is his boss yet,

When Zhao Kuangyin finished his crusade against Li Chongjin, Zhao Guangyi was crowned as the deployment of the Great Inner Capital and the Tongping Zhangshi. Kaifeng Mansion Yin and Zhongshu Ling are about the same as the prime minister.

He was just making a small joke, which was normal with the relationship between the two of them.

"Brother Guangyi, do you want to see my jokes again, by the way, I will set up a banquet tonight to invite everyone to appreciate it!"

"Definitely, definitely." At this time, who doesn't give Zhao Kuangyin face, they all say that they will come.

At this time, the little eunuch beside the emperor came over and hurriedly came to find Guangyi's side:

"Lord Zhao Guangyi, the emperor told you to stay."

"Thank you, little father-in-law, this official is going now, your lords and officials are one step ahead."

He bowed to the adults around him, and then disappeared with their little eunuch at the door of the main hall.

Zhao Kuangyin was sitting leisurely in the imperial garden looking at the flowers blooming in the garden, looking very happy.

Since becoming the emperor, he has not been so relaxed for a long time, and in his impression, he used to rush by.

I don't know how there is such a high interest in enjoying the flowers here today, there must be something that makes him happy.

"Brother see the emperor, long live my emperor."

Zhao Guangyi came here without saying a word, just to salute him, even if they are brothers, this gift is still unavoidable.

Zhao Kuangyin woke up from the excitement:

"Oh, it's Guangyi here, hurry up and flatten down, come and sit with me."

As he spoke, he patted the place next to him and asked him to sit down.

"I don't know why the emperor asked his courtiers to come?" Now it is not only his eldest brother sitting opposite, but also the emperor of the current dynasty, so he should be careful in everything.

So Zhao Guangyi didn't say anything to say hello, and went straight to the point, and he couldn't figure out what Zhao Kuangyin meant.

"Guangyi, I called you here today, because I want to give you something to do, and I want to ask for your opinion?"

Zhao Kuangyin didn't say that I have one thing for you to do, you have to accept it or something, but when I have one thing I want you to do.

I'm now consulting with you to see if you're fit and have the time to do it, not in the form of an order, which seems pretty good.

Zhao Guangyi was also very satisfied that his eldest brother did not treat himself as an outsider, if he directly issued a holy decree, wouldn't he have to obey obediently?

"As soon as the emperor orders, the ministers and brothers will obey everything."

"Guangyi has no outsiders now, so don't call me the emperor, call me big brother, I haven't heard you call me big brother for a long time."

Zhao Kuangyin seems to be very nostalgic.

"Your Majesty, Brother Chen, Big Brother." Under the pressure of Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, he still called big brother.

"Guangyi, I'm tired of this emperor, internal and external troubles are like numbness, if you are not careful, our Zhao family's country will not be unprotected, do you understand?"

"Big brother and brother understand, so if there is anything about the eldest brother, you can tell me, for the sake of the eldest brother, for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, for the sake of our Zhao family, I will not hesitate to reads;."

Zhao Guangyi is really telling the truth, if Da Song is gone, he is really nothing.

"Haoguang Yi I want to send you to the northwest, you also know that we have not been asking since we recovered the four states of Qin and Feng in the northwest, and we don't know much about the specific situation there, and now I really want to know the real situation of where it is."

"I've also thought about letting other people go, but I'm never at ease, you're a real brother, so I thought of you, can you go?"

"Big brother, if you let me go, I'll go, and my head promises that I will definitely get things out there, please rest assured that big brother."

Zhao Guangyi doesn't have anything, your words are all on this, can I not go, I'd better go obediently.

"Haoguang Yizhen really didn't misunderstand you, since you are willing to go, I will tell you the truth, I have other ideas, that is, I hope you can go to Houshu for a trip and find out where the information is, you must see it with your own eyes."

This is Zhao Kuangyin's purpose, otherwise he just went to inspect the place, wouldn't it be good to be a random official.

Where is the emperor's younger brother still used, this is the main thing, this is a big thing, spy on the intelligence of other countries, just let the secret agent, why let Zhao Guangyi go.

Zhao Guangyi knew in his heart that this was the emperor's preparation for the great cause of reunification in the future, so this matter should be kept secret and no rumors could be leaked.

"Brother Chen, I understand that the eldest brother can rest assured that I will treat myself as a tourist, go to Shu to play, and occasionally draw some mountains and rivers, hehe."

The two brothers talked together for a long time, and laughter came out from time to time, no one thought that Zhao Kuangyin's domestic affairs had not been resolved, and they began to reach out to the surrounding countries.

He is planning ahead, and the reason why he is great is because he sees farther than others and is one step ahead of everything.

Who would have thought that he would actually send his younger brother to do the work of a secret agent, ordinary people would not have thought of it, and even talented people would not have thought of it.
