There is a small palace in the harem, which enshrines the ancestral tablets of the Zhao family.

There is a constant incense here all year round, and there is a dedicated person to take charge of it.

Chen Zhongheng stood outside the hall and whispered to the eunuch in charge.

"There is no movement here?" Chen Zhongheng always felt that the emperor was a god, so the immortal should show his spirit after he went there, "I didn't say anything? The tablet did not move?"

Thinking of someone in the empty hall talking in secret, the tablet was windy automatically... the eunuch looked like he wanted to die, "It's really not."

There are too many people asking this question. Everyone thinks that the emperor will descend to earth if he goes there. He squats on the tablet and looks at the Song Dynasty and his descendants, but there is really no one!

But after being asked too much, every time he went in to sweep some incense, he felt cold on his back. He always felt that the tablets were dead emperors staring at him.

The tablets are arranged along the generations, the thick fragrance is slowly burning, the smoke from the world is rising in vain, and the smoke column is straight.

"Some people say that those who go to the immortal can enjoy incense, so I let you burn incense every day. If the ancestors cannot enjoy it, they can dream of me."

The tablets are placed on a large table, with a futon in front of them for people to kneel down and worship.

Zhao Shu sat cross-legged on the cushion, put his hands on his knees, and his eyes were full of confidence. "The people from the Imperial City Department reported that the navy went all the way to the sea and encountered the coalition forces of the Dazhe and the Seljuk people in Dazhe. I was afraid at that time! I was afraid something happened to Dazhe..."

"The navy landed in a fight. The enemy was repelled, but a large number of reinforcements were behind. Dalang did not retreat. Then there was a fight of 70,000 to 30,000. Ancestors, this is the 30,000 of the Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Shu had more pride in his eyes, "This is a war commanded by Dalang. He defeated the powerful enemy and let the enemy flee. The Song Dynasty showed its power outside the territory. This is the first time, and I don't think it will be the last time."

"Seljuk... They said it was a powerful country in the west, very powerful, but the Song Dynasty defeated them 70,000 for 30,000. Our firearms swept everything and were unstoppable. If it weren't for the need to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf, countless prisoners of alien races were already on the way to Bianliang. What is this?"

Zhao Shu looked up at the tablets and said firmly: "This is glory! The humiliation of the Song Dynasty for a hundred years should be cleaned with this glory. In this way, after I die, I can also feel at ease to find all the ancestors to speak."

"Someone asked where the Song Dynasty was going. I was thinking that the Song Dynasty should go to a wider place and become wider, instead of staggering on a small path of stooping..."

Outside, Chen Zhongheng squatted beside him and said, "Do you think there are ghosts and gods in this world?"

The eunuch said, "I'm afraid there are some."

"Yes." Chen Zhongheng nodded, "Some people say that people die like a lamp goes out, and they also believe this."

The eunuch said curiously: "Then do you still believe in ghosts and gods?"

"Yes!" Chen Zhongheng said with emotion. "But whenever we see those tablets, we feel that our ancestors must have spirits. Didn't Shen An say that only we can inherit this for thousands of years? Is this the protection of our ancestors. No matter what major disasters we encounter, we can always get up again. What is this the protection of our ancestors?"

The eunuch thought for a while, "But I felt that we could survive those great disasters and disasters, but we were our own hard-working! We were knocked down again and again, and stood up again and again."

Chen Zhongheng frowned and said, "That's right! I'm reading history books recently. After seeing the decline of the Han and Tang dynasties, foreign races invaded, and it's so miserable! I feel like we're about to be destroyed, and there's no sound. But look, it's not long before, we're up again, which shows... what Chen An said? This is civilization and culture. We have such civilization and culture, which are rooted in our bones and blood. No matter how difficult it is, we can always stand up."

Several eunuchs came outside. Looking at their hurrying appearance, Chen Zhongheng got up and waved.

Seeing this, several eunuchs ran over with their footsteps loudly.

"...I have done more than anything in the past few years, but I have done some new policies. Why did I do the new policies? It is because the Song Dynasty is about to decline. This is why... Sanrong is one, and the Emperor Zhenzong here..."

Zhao Shu bowed and said to the tablet of Emperor Zhenzong: "Don't blame Emperor Zhenzong." Then he said proudly: "When Emperor Zhenzong was there, he made many redundant officials, and later the eminent officials became a routine... But these were not the main reasons for the decline of the Song Dynasty. I think the decline of the Song Dynasty came from those scholars and officials, and they were too greedy..."

"The late emperor also made a new policy, but it was not fierce enough." Zhao Shu proudly bowed to the tablet of the late emperor Zhao Shu, "Those literati and officials have a huge power. If they want to implement the new policy, they must hold the imperial guards in their hands, and there must be people around them who dare to take action.

If I dare to hire people, I would use Han Qi to support him, so he became domineering and made the literati and officials frustrated. I also used Chen An to get rid of miscellaneous studies so that those scholars who only know articles and poems could see that without them, I could take on the Song Dynasty!”

Zhao Shu said solemnly: "They are afraid. The Beimeng newspaper crushed Huiying newspaper. They were frustrated, but they dared not force the palace again. Why? Because they were afraid that I would promote miscellaneous learning everywhere. At that time, even if I broke up, I would dare to pull out the imperial guards. Once anyone dared to rebel, the whole family would take it down and rushed overseas to farm!"

His eyes were sharp and his emotions gradually became excited, "You must say that I was too impulsive, saying that those scholars and officials were the backbone of the Song Dynasty, but where did they do it? I think it was a strong backbone that dragged their backbone!

What are you afraid of? You just move. They dare to take action again this time. I really ask the academies in various places to add more time to teach miscellaneous studies. I hold the imperial guards in my hand and see who is afraid of whom!”

He held his head up and said proudly: "This is the key point of the new policy. It's not that I boasted. If the late emperor was bolder and more ruthless, the new policy during the Qingli period would not have failed as badly."

"His Majesty!"

Zhao Shu was interrupted by his enthusiasm for bragging with his ancestors, and turned around with a dark face.

Chen Zhongheng came in, "Your Majesty, the king is back to the capital!"

The black face immediately turned into a red face, and Zhao Shu said happily: "Let him come!"

Chen Zhongheng looked here and hesitated: "Official family, here?"

This is the place where tablets are placed, so that the king who returns from the victory can come here? Isn’t it?

Zhao Shu cursed: "Go quickly!"

Chen Zhongheng ran away all the way.

Zhao Xu had already entered the imperial city, and the prime ministers came out to greet him after hearing the news.

"See the king!"

Zhao Xu's face looked much darker and calmer. He nodded and said, "Can the official family be there?"

When you come back, you will meet the saint first. This is the rule.

Han Qi said: "After the official has received the news, I will definitely give you an order later. I dare to ask the king, how about this trip?"

Chen An, the unethical and smoking man, drank and had fun in Yueyang Tower, but he didn't even know how to send someone to report the news, so that the prime ministers could feel excited.

But the official actually got the news, but he refused to say it and didn't know what he was doing.

"This trip defeated Seljuk and the Grand Food Alliance, and the two countries bowed down!"

Zhao Xu raised his head slightly, and his slightly dark face was full of majesty.

Han Qi was stunned, "They bowed their heads? I dare to ask the king, how about this battle?"

"Our army has 30,000 and the coalition forces have 70,000. Our army has won a great victory!"

He was about to talk about the situation of this battle in detail, when Chen Zhongheng rushed over, "I have seen the king, and the official family has orders. The king should come with me."

After saying that, he gasped for a while, and then returned to normal. The eunuch behind him was gasping like a dog, and swore that he would practice running hard after turning back and must make a sigh next time.

Zhao Xu agreed and followed him in.

Han Qi looked confused, "This...whether we are waiting?"

This is a great victory! But the official family summoned only the king and left us here. What does this mean?

Zeng Gongliang was not dissatisfied with this. He said excitedly: "Those people said that the outcome of this battle was uncertain, and they were always worried about the revenge of Seljuk and the Dashi. But now our army has won a great victory and overseas is safe. From then on, merchant ships went to sea to trade and naval forces to escort. All the waves belong to the Song Dynasty, which is magnificent!"

Han Qi smiled and said, "After this battle, there is no danger in the sea. As Chen An said back then, the Song Dynasty needed to walk on two legs on the sea. Now it is a success. I am happy."

Bao Zheng said: "What I am even more happy about is that the king returned from the conquest and became more calm."

Han Qi nodded and said with no relief: "The King's victory in the expedition is a shock, shocking those enemies with ulterior motives and making them afraid. When the news spreads, the Song Dynasty will cheer and feel that the Song Dynasty will have a long-lasting prosperous era."

The Song Dynasty was weak for a hundred years and has only gradually risen in recent years, but the people are still a little confused, worried that such good days would be interrupted by foreign enemies at any time.

The future imperial expedition is a great victory. This is to tell everyone: Rest assured, the next emperor of the Song Dynasty can still protect the safety of the Song Dynasty.

This sense of security is more effective than anything else, and can make the innovation of the Song Dynasty more and more stable.

"I want to know the details of this battle, but..." Han Qi looked at the palace and said angrily: "Go and ask the official family why they are not discussing the matter!"

Zhao Shu didn't think about discussing the matter now. After Zhao Xu came, he waved, "My son, come in."

Zhao Xu bowed, and after entering, Zhao Shu said, "Hello to the ancestors."

Zhao Xu followed his words and said, "The ancestors and ancestors have been in the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, but the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties often does not last long. I think it is related to emperors. In his later years, the emperors are stupid and powerful and talented as well as Han and Wu, which shows that it is impossible to avoid the common people."

He saluted and said, "The emperors are stupid and often treat the prince as enemies. I am also worried that I will do this one day, so I ordered the prince to go to war and it turns out to be a great victory. The prince is quite prestigious and the ministers applaud. From then on, even if I am stupid, my ministers will support the prince..."

The ministers of the Song Dynasty were different from those of the Han and Tang dynasties. Once they felt that something was wrong, the emperor would not think of forcibly promoting it.

Zhao Xu was shocked and looked up at his father regardless of etiquette.

Zhao Shu said devoutly: "The prosperous age should be continued. The prince should be the first. It should not innovate before the predecessors and conservative future generations. Such a prosperous age is difficult to continue... Today, I have something to tell my ancestors, the prince Zhao Xu..."

Zhao Xu bowed, and tears in his eyes became more and more.

Zhao Shu kowtowed, "Prince Zhao Xu... can be the prince, and I beg my ancestors to protect this child so that he can be carefree..."

"Dad!"

Zhao Xu thought this expedition was a training, but only then did he realize that it was to accumulate prestige by himself.

He kowtowed, "Don't dare!"

"My son, I have cleared away those foreign enemies for you for my father, and you can be the Holy Lord."

Zhao Shu reached out and touched the top of his head and smiled.

Zhao Xu looked up and burst into tears.
