Chapter 49 There is a fan named Zhao Zhen
"Xue Xiangling helps the poor and the needy, Zhao Shouzhen is grateful for his kindness. Moreover, the heaven is eyeing, and good people will eventually be rewarded. It's such a good show, good!"
Zhao Zhen came back from the stage and walked towards the bedroom, sighing as he walked.
Chen Lin, the old eunuch with white hair, smiled and said, "Who said it was not? I heard it once and felt a lot. The official said it well. The heaven has eyes. The official has been doing it for decades, and he loves the people as much as his son. He can't even bear to drink a bowl of mutton soup. God will report it to the official."
When Empress Dowager Liu monopolized the power, Zhao Zhen, who had just ascended the throne, was like a puppet. Chen Lin never left him and took care of Zhao Zhen for decades. The king and his minister were even more like friends.
Not long ago, at midnight, Zhao Zhen was hungry and wanted to drink a bowl of mutton soup, but when he thought that if he wanted to ask for it, he would bother the slaves in the palace, and the imperial kitchen would prepare a sheep every day. It was a pity that the people were tired and money wasted, so Zhao Zhen slept on his empty stomach until the next day.
Later he told Chen Lin that the emperor, the lord of billions of people, could not even bear to drink a bowl of mutton soup. No wonder Chen Lin felt sorry for Zhao Zhen.
"Oh, partner Chen, I dare not ask God to repay you well. It's been more than three years, I'm sorry for Fan Qing!"
An emperor is not enough to be diligent, thrifty and kind, but also to have courage and will. The Song Dynasty was far from as prosperous and peaceful as it appeared. In fact, it was already difficult to return and had many disadvantages.
A few years ago, the Qingli New Policy led by Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu and others disappeared in just one year. The ministers who were highly anticipated left Beijing one after another, and the new policy ended in a sad way.
As the Emperor who strongly supports the new policy and destroys the new policy, Zhao Zhen couldn't help feeling ashamed.
I am just a successful ruler. I cannot recover Yan Yun or innovate bad policies. I am really not a good emperor. Therefore, God has been punished by him. He is not confused and has no son. This is my fate!
Zhao Zhen suddenly became lonely and depressed, lowering his head and not talking. At this moment, a little eunuch suddenly rushed over and muttered a few words in Chen Lin's ear. Chen Lin was immediately overjoyed.
"The official family has Zhu Cairen!"
"What?"
Zhao Zhen was stunned, then smiled like a child. Finally someone was pregnant again. He had lost two sons. The royal descendants were difficult. The little child could not bear the royal wealth!
"Panban Chen, arrange personnel immediately and take good care of Zhu Cairen. There must be no accidents!"
"The old slave obeys the order."
Chen Lin arranged to go immediately.
When the concubine was pregnant, Zhao Zhen seemed to have received a dose of heart-boosting injection and regained his confidence. After watching Zhu Cairen, he returned to the bedroom and remembered "The Lock of the Case". The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this drama was interesting and the cycle of cause and effect. As expected, His Majesty the Emperor actually resonated with him and became interested in the people who wrote the story.
"Chan, what is the name of the boy who wrote "The Lock of the Case"? But there are still works?"
"have!"
Chen Lin replied happily: "I took the time to ask the people in the opera troupe. They said that this "Locking Lin Cloth" comes from Cangzhou and is told by a teahouse storyteller. It is not just "Locking Lin Cloth", but also a "Pearl Shirt", which are all jokes that others have never said. But the most attractive ones are not these two."
"Oh? And there's still good?"
"Yes, it is a long historical legend called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is said to have been published more than twenty times."
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? What a grand name." Zhao Zhen said curiously: "Panpa Chen, do you have any manuscripts?"
"To be honest, since this book has not been finished and has not been officially published, only some people who like it have copied some of it, and two months ago, it has been passed on to the capital."
Chen Lin is indeed good at doing things, so he asked the eunuch to present the collected text to Zhao Zhen.
After turning the first page, a song "Linjiangxian" suddenly appeared.
"How many things happen in ancient and modern times are all laughing at. They have taste, they really taste!"
Zhao Zhen sighed and looked down. At first, he wanted to have some fun, but he became more and more fascinated. He had been seeing the lights in the afternoon and didn't even eat dinner. After reading the manuscript, he scratched his heart and couldn't wait to know the next story...
He rubbed his sore eyes, and Zhao Zhen felt a little ashamed when he saw Chen Lin still beside him.
"Pan Chen, I'm really distracted from my ambition! I've delayed the government's affairs for a story book. You go and get the memorials of the ministers."
Zhao Zhen was a very diligent emperor. He fainted from exhaustion in his early years. Even after being an emperor for decades, he did not slacken at all and would definitely not leave today's task to tomorrow.
Since discussing peace with Li Yuanhao, there have been fewer troubles. A capable husband will handle the government properly. Zhao Zhen only needs to grasp the overall situation.
He looked at it for a while and it was already ten minutes later.
Read another book and you can rest.
Zhao Zhen picked up Bao Zheng's piercing and opened it casually.
It didn't seem to be tight, and the veins in Zhao Zhen's temples became tense.
"It's just the opposite of the world!"
Zhao Zhen was so angry that he slapped the table, and the teapot and tea bowls were roaring!
Little businessmen dared to smuggle million kilograms of strong liquor from the Liao Kingdom, and steal food from the court to support Liao dogs! It's simply outrageous!
Raising bandits and making friends with foreign countries can destroy the Cui family by these two.
"Bao Zheng is worthy of being a cadre official. He found such a big case in just a few months and found a big sycamore for the court. It's really amazing."
Zhao Zhen admired, and when he turned to the end, he was the property list prepared by Bao Zheng, which cost 600,000 guan, 45,000 taels of silver, 8,000 taels of gold, 3 dots of East Pearl, 100 horses, including 4 northern horses, 150 marten skins, 500 gold and silver utensils, 20,000 acres of land, 12 wineries... All kinds of conversions are almost 1.5 million taels!
The small Cangzhou, a big sworm. Zhao Zhen is not just angry. The Song Dynasty has not yet recovered from Yuan Hao's rebellion. Prices soared and military spending has skyrocketed, causing the Song Dynasty's finances to show a huge deficit.
The Cui family's property is almost as good as the annual monies of the Liao Dynasty for five years, and it is definitely not a small amount of money.
Bao Zheng not only made great contributions, but also made great contributions!
Rewards for merits and punishments. Of course, Zhao Zhen would not be stingy with rewards. He looked carefully at Bao Zheng's thorn. There were many heroes mentioned in it, but a name made his eyes lit up.
"Although Wang Ning'an is still in the age of age, he is very talented and intelligent. He discovered the secret winery of the Cui family and discovered the Cui family's smuggling secrets. He participated in the arrest of Cui Yu and made great efforts. His father Wang Liangjing was the descendant of the general. He fought against the warriors of the Liao Kingdom, destroyed the Wild Wolf Valley, and made great contributions..."
Bao Heizi praised the Wang family's father and son while piercing him.
Zhao Zhen pointed to Wang Ning'an's name and took over the manuscript of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The cover reads "With Wang Gong Ning'an, hand-recorded by XX."
"Panpa Chen, do you think Wang Ning'an is the one who wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"
Chen Lin was also stunned. It was of course a happy event to have a child prodigy. If this smart boy not only knows how to write a script but also shares the worries of the court, then he would be the example of scholars.
Bao Zheng also mentioned that the Wang family was born into a general, but it seems that he had never heard of any descendant named Wang Ning'an!
"The official family, the old slave thought Bao Zheng was not a lie, so he could send someone to ask immediately."
"Well, I mean that. If I were really the same person, I must give it a good reward."
...
It took only ten days for the manpower arranged by Chen Lin to run back and forth, and they also brought the latest 15 chapters of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
"The official family is indeed a person. I want to congratulate the official family. The genius from heaven is really the rise of the Song Dynasty!"
In fact, without Chen Lin's words, Zhao Zhen was very surprised.
He was fascinated by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Although he was the novelist's words, he had many intrigues, literary and martial arts, and various characters fought wits and courage, which made people feel that Zhao Zhen benefited a lot.
The newly sent 15 chapters are more comprehensive and detailed. Zhao Zhen reads them with relish and is reluctant to sleep until he finishes reading them. He has become a die-hard fan of Wang Ning'an.
It is really rare to be able to write things and contribute to the court!
Chapter completed!
