Zhao Zhen treated Xue Kui not because he was an old minister of the three dynasties, but because his identity was a bit special. Xue Kui was not an ordinary person, but a "famous father-in-law"……

In the eighth year of Tiansheng in the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, the imperial examination was extraordinary and he gave Zhao Zhen the "literary leader" Ouyang Xiu. However, because he was arrogant and showed his sharpness at the time, the examiner led by Yan Shu wanted to slash his spirit in order to promote his talent, so he gave the title of top scorer to Wang Gongchen, a candidate who was only nineteen years old.

But because Ouyang Xiu's name appeared on Zhao Zhen's screen early, Ouyang Xiu's reputation became increasingly famous and became a well-known "golden sign" in the Song Dynasty.

The most popular thing after the imperial examination in the Song Dynasty was not parading on horseback or the Qionglin banquet, but the "catching the bad guys under the list"!

Xue Kui was already a direct scholar in Longtu Pavilion at that time, and was the second most important thing to Bao Zheng, who was in charge of the three corpses. He had no children but had five daughters!

The captive force on the list did not catch Ouyang Xiu, so he "caught" Wang Gongchen. Later, Ouyang Xiu's original wife, Mrs. Xu, died unfortunately early. When Xue Kui learned about it, he quickly came to the door to propose marriage and married Ouyang Xiu as a successor as he wished.

But by chance, Xue Kui's third daughter died unfortunately, so he asked his fifth daughter to replace her sister in order to continue her relationship with Wang Gongchen.

In the eyes of the world, in order to be Xue Kui's son-in-law, Wang Gongchen died and married the fifth lady. This was contrary to morality and had no bottom line. Therefore, his reputation was damaged and Zhao Zhen removed him from his position as a censor.

But Wang Gongchen is not a snob. Zhao Zhen knew that he did this because his father-in-law Xue Kui was worried that his grandson would be bullied by his stepmother, so it was normal for Miss Xue Wu to take care of the children on behalf of her sister, and this was not without her in the Song Dynasty.

Finally, Zhao Zhen issued an order to serve as a bachelor's decree and attend the post, which was considered as a companion for the prince's study, and also left a useful talent for Zhao Xu.

Some things are buried deep in Zhao Zhen's heart. The relationship between Xue Kui and Wang Gongchen led to another incident. Xue Kui married his two daughters to Wang Gongchen, and Wang Gongchen had a granddaughter to marry Li Gefei. The daughter born to them was named Li Qingzhao...

Of course, all this has not happened yet, but Zhao Zhen knew it clearly, and Xue Kui became the existence of Zhao Zhen's "extreme sigh".

In later generations, Zhao Zhen admired Li Qingzhao's poems with great appreciation. This most talented woman in the ages has too many sad and gentleness, and also has excellent works that are too superior to those of the bearded men.

Of course, Xue Kui, who was sitting in the yard drinking the imperial mutton soup, didn't know this. At this time, he had only one question in his mind, why did the official arrive in Tokyo quietly?

As a minister, it is extremely difficult and necessary to learn from the best intentions. In the past, if he was in the court, he would still have some guesses, but in Tokyo, he has only done his part in his duties, and the rest is waiting to retire.

Zhao Zhen soon arrived at the Wailou Courtyard at Zuoyemen, and Xue Kui had already finished drinking the mutton soup. At this time, he was worried that it was not a trivial matter for the emperor to leave Beijing, but he had to leave Beijing without hiding it, so the problem was big.

"The official family is very serious about leaving Beijing. Xue Kui has not received the central letter. I also asked the official family to make a clear statement!"

As a minister, it is very common to speak out for advice from others. Moreover, under Zhao Zhen's intentional inspiration, the Song Dynasty's speech was smooth, and almost all officials could submit memorials to express their opinions.

Xue Kui also fulfilled his responsibilities. Although he was the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, he still took the title of Longtu Pavilion as the attendant. It was reasonable to ask Zhao Zhen this way.

Zhao Zhen would not blame him. The main reason why he summoned Xue Kui was that he needed him, otherwise, in order to keep it secret, Zhao Zhen would not let him know that he had arrived in Tokyo.

"I remember when the three departments were vacant, I summoned you to temporarily serve as the official position of the Three Departments for the Three Departments. During this period, I had excellent political achievements. However, I did not promote you to the Secretary of the Six Departments, nor did I make you the deputy minister of the general magistrate of the political affairs, but instead let you return to Kaifeng Prefecture to be the prefect. Do you know the purpose of this?"

Xue Kui was a little surprised. He really didn't think of the intention. When his family was transferred to the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, it was a simultaneous transfer according to the specifications, but the official quickly moved the capital to Peking Prefecture.

Originally, Xue Kui thought he was old and the official gave him a noble service to retire, but after taking office, he found that this was not the case.

The Kaifeng Prefecture is now more trivial than the Kaifeng Prefecture in the original capital of the Song Dynasty. A large amount of goods arrived in Tokyo. The factories outside the city produced countless mass production every day. In addition, the goods transported from outside filled the entire Tokyo city.

And over the past few years, I have been working hard and personally building a large warehouse in the outer city of Shendu City has also been praised by the court.

However, he never mentioned himself in the official's mouth. Of course, Xue Kui was disappointed and doubted in his heart whether the official had forgotten him. After all, he was an old minister of the three dynasties and it was time to live his life.

But Zhao Zhen’s words now surprised him a little and asked tentatively: “Is it because the official family has other profound meanings?”

Zhao Zhen nodded: "You used to be the equivalent of the three officials to the official business of the three officials. Except for Bao Zheng, even if you are most proficient in the dispatch of wealth and goods, Cai Boqi can become my logistics officer, but he cannot become my dispatch officer. I need to withdraw enough supplies from Tokyo City for three years, including food, arms, bedding and other needs in the army!"

Zhao Zhen's words stunned Xue Kui, and then his face was shocked. He never thought that the government would let him stay in Tokyo City with such an arrangement.

"Officials, this matter is very important and the current court discusses it!"

Zhao Zhen shook his head: "Did you even leave Beijing quietly if you didn't see it?"

Xue Kui Na said: "I think the official family is to avoid the people in Dongcheng..."

This sentence is considered to be "just hit the point". Sancai, who was next to him, coughed gently, and Zhao Zhen sighed helplessly: "It can also be regarded as avoiding those people by the way. Although you are in Tokyo in the past few years, you will not be unaware of the matter of the God Capital. The transactions in Tokyo are all transferred in Tokyo. The biggest semicolon is also in Tokyo."

Xue Kui smiled bitterly and said, "I know that this time Tokyo City is a battle of dragons and tigers. The goods price in Xiaotianshui Lane has changed three times a day. The old minister has taken charge of the three departments, so he naturally knows that this is the work of the official, but this will have a great impact on Tokyo City."

It was indeed a sensible person. Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "It is great that you can make Tokyo safe and sound. This time I came in vain. Only you and Wang Gui, the general who stayed in Tokyo, knew about this and did not leak it. You must cooperate with each other and dispatch materials. I have had a secret talk with Bao Zheng. The three departments will transfer the accounts from the national treasury to fill the money. You only need to dispatch the goods and transport them to Sichuan Road and Qinghai Road by the caravan. When you get there, Cai Boqi, the Qinghai Road Transporter, and Tian Kuang, the Sichuan Road Transporter, took over."

Xue Kui didn't expect that he would be entrusted by the official family at such an old age, and he choked up for a moment: "The old minister must be loyal to him! If there is any leak, he will be willing to obey the military law!"
