Zhao Zhen was quite strange in the hall. Now that he was about to go to war, what major things could Fan Zhongyan report to him? And in front of everyone, when can he be conveyed by the situation of the memorial?

Fan Zhongyan was frightened by the scene in front of him. He really couldn't wait any longer, and he couldn't explain this matter clearly with the situation of the memorial. Now he understood that if he didn't explain it to the official, he would have no chance in the future.

The most important point is that he believes that with the government's spirit and trust in himself, he will not vent his anger on himself. Fan Zhongyan's trust in Zhao Zhen for many years has this confidence and thinks he understands the government.

Of course, if you eat the king's fortune and share the king's worries, as your husband, he should tell this matter out loud and clear in front of Zhao Zhen, and you should not retreat even if you die.

This is a very pure spirit of the scholar-officials, and it is also the reason why Zhao Zhen admires him. Faced with power and the unprecedented concentration of imperial power in the Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan was still blunt, which made Zhao Zhen admire him very much.

Therefore, when Fan Zhongyan spoke out the relationship between the checks and balances between the prime minister and the monarch without any obscureness, Zhao Zhen was very surprised that this ancient checks and balances between the two sides had long existed, and it can even be said that there had been relatively complete constraints since the Qin Dynasty.

With the development of time and the advancement of history, this restrictive relationship has become increasingly unpredictable. The reason is that the monarch's power becomes stronger and stronger. After every dynasty change, the monarch's power is strengthened, and the cost is naturally obvious, weakening the power of the prime minister.

The imperial power and prime minister are like two ends of a scale. Changes in either end will force the other end to change. Since Qin, every dynasty has been deliberately or unintentionally weakening prime minister's power. This is the instinct of imperial power, and the struggle between prime minister and imperial power is also an instinct.

Maybe someone doesn't understand it, but Zhao Zhen won't know that everything Fan Zhongyan said is the best proof. Although he didn't say it in very sharp words, it is still very sharp for Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen looked at Fan Zhongyan who was lying on the ground and knew his persistence from the look of his eyes that he had just gone to death. Zhao Zhen sighed slightly. He admitted that he had just heard Fan Zhongyan's words, and a murderous intent rose unconsciously in his heart.

But this murderous intent was quickly replaced by helplessness and self-deprecation. Who should I kill? Who can I kill? It is definitely not Fan Zhongyan, nor is it the courtier of the Song Dynasty, but the system, the invisible system and habit that has been preserved for thousands of years in the Chinese dynasty.

Looking at the generation of wise ministers who were worried about the world before him, Zhao Zhen sat in front of him with a thrust. The touch of the armor scared Fan Zhongyan. He insisted on his original intention, but everyone was afraid of death.

Zhao Zhen reached out and patted his shoulder, like an old friend of many years. In fact, the two have known each other for many years and have been partners of the monarch and ministers for many years. Since Fan Zhongyan was transferred to the Lu Zhengyuan, Zhao Zhen has been paying attention to him.

"I naturally understand your worries, but what the Song Dynasty needs now is not a balanced situation. I cannot reply to you, but I can tell you that checking and balancing the power of the monarch and limiting the infinite expansion of the power of the monarch is necessary."

Zhao Zhen's words made Fan Zhongyan's eyes lit up suddenly. He did not expect that the official family had seen the disadvantages of this problem, rather than thinking about the stability of the Zhao family's dynasty and the imperial power. In fact, these two things are one. If the Zhao family's dynasty is effectively controlled, the Song Dynasty will become more and more stable.

"Your Majesty, the imperial power has something to restrain, which will benefit the design of the Song Dynasty and the emperor's imperial power!"

Zhao Zhen nodded: "I naturally know that when the yin and yang are polar, the yang will decline when it is strong. When the imperial power unconsciously expands to its peak, it is when it is uncontrollable, but I can control it. What I need now is absolute imperial power. When the four seas are unified and the world is peaceful, I will naturally put this absolute power on the shelf!"

Fan Zhongyan was quite surprised. He didn't understand. Since the emperor saw everything so clearly, why did he still insist on his own actions?

The sooner the imperial power is bound, the sooner the control can be controlled. It is very easy to release this thing, but if you want to accept it, it is really too difficult! How many emperors in ancient and modern times are ultimately confused by the absolute power brought by the imperial power and how many dynasty foundations have been ruined?

Zhao Zhen could see Fan Zhongyan's confusion and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I need you. You are my Pingzhang business and my husband of the Song Dynasty. You can see the reason why I did this.

As for the pros and cons, do you think the court of the Song Dynasty can handle government affairs efficiently? I don’t think so, so I need absolute imperial power, clean up the administration, absolute imperial power to launch wars, and protect the interests of the Song Dynasty.”

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and turned his eyes to the outside and said slowly: "I chose Zhao Xu not only because of his status as the eldest son of the emperor, but also because of his safety! He is the king of the founding king, and can only be my founding king, so I have to limit his imperial power, and the only one who can accomplish all this is you, Fan Zhongyan!"

Fan Zhongyan suddenly understood why the officials and the queen strongly supported him to become the "master" in the Prince Zizheng Hall. As a husband, he was busy with official duties and often refused, but the officials and the queen still asked him to try his best to take time to teach the prince.

For the monarch and minister, the relationship between master and apprentice is closer than other relationships. Fan Zhongyan is not a stupid person. Although he is a gentleman who can deceive him, he is not slow. Otherwise, how could he be the Pingzhang period of the Song Dynasty?

The emperor has made it clear enough now. Fan Zhongyan bowed: "Your Majesty's saintness can be an example for the king of all ages, and no one can match historic books!"

Zhao Zhen was a little embarrassed by such praise from a generation of wise ministers and waved his hand: "I am not a saint, but I know more. What you have to do now is to handle political affairs for me. If anyone cannot make a decision, he will report to the Western Regions Protectorate."

"I obey the order!"

Zhao Zhen stood up and walked away, and the armor on his body made a metal collision sound again. The moment he went out, Fan Zhongyan felt golden light shining, like a god!

"This move by the official family has never been before and after! It is actually an example for the king of all ages! Fan Xiwen, you are not a son!"

Bao Zheng watched Fan Zhongyan come back and stand beside him without saying a word. He knew that it was extremely rare to be able to do this like Fan Zhongyan. He said that some court officials were staring at him. Bao Zheng couldn't help but cough: "Mr. Fan, Your Majesty's Holy Driving!"

Fan Zhongyan woke up and stepped forward to salute all the officials: "I wish my emperor's flag a victory and shock the stinging of the Western Regions with the power of thunder!"
