"I went to build a snowman with my mom."
"I want to build a snowman too!"
Zhao Kang, who was just crying,
They happily followed along.
After making a fuss for a while,
The whole family returned to the house.
They started hot pot with mutton over a charcoal fire.
After eating hot pot,
They played until late afternoon.
Finally, the emperor set off to return to the palace.
The snow has been cleared from the streets, both inside and outside the city.
Whether it's residential houses or shops,
Everyone has an obligation to clear the snow in front of their door.
Obstructing traffic for several days without clearing the obstruction will result in a fine.
Many people went out for a stroll today after the snow stopped.
They automatically gave way upon seeing the emperor's entourage.
Some people even waved and cheered at the imperial carriage.
Tokyo residents are very familiar with this.
The Kaifeng Imperial Palace is too small.
The royal family often went out of the palace to play.
However, during the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song,
As life becomes increasingly difficult
Many ordinary people glared angrily at the imperial carriage.
Life is a bit better now.
They were delighted to see the royal carriage.
Outsiders, however, were extremely excited.
Even those scholars taking the imperial examinations,
Unable to contain himself, he knelt and bowed before the imperial carriage.
Even the reserved ones bowed respectfully from a distance.
The emperor returned to the palace.
The eunuch on duty said to Zhao Yuan,
"Your Majesty, a servant of Minister Gao has come to report,"
"Minister Gao's illness improved slightly a few days ago,"
"I caught a cold again in the last two days and have a persistent high fever."
"The fever finally subsided last night,"
"This morning I suddenly coughed up a lot of blood,"
"The imperial physician said it might be difficult to survive the winter."
"Understood, summon Prime Minister Wen."
Zhao Yuan felt a headache coming on.
Conquering the country can rely on the Liangshan brothers.
But this empire,
But only these civil officials with complicated minds can do it.
A short while later, Wen Huanzhang entered the main hall and sat down.
After bowing, find a chair and sit down to ask.
"You just got back and something's already up?"
Zhao Yuan said, "Vice Chancellor Gao Jingshan is no longer capable."
"The imperial physician said it would be very difficult to get through this winter."
"Hasn't his illness been cured?" Wen Huanzhang asked.
Zhao Yuan said, "I've caught a cold again."
"Among the cabinet ministers, one must be promoted to vice prime minister,"
"We need to appoint another cabinet minister as soon as possible."
Who do you think would be most suitable for a cabinet position?
Wen Huanzhang said, "Xu Churen, who was transferred to another post,"
"Actually, I'm quite optimistic about it."
"But they're also quite old,"
"According to the History of Song, he died of illness after Zhao Gou ascended the throne,"
"I estimate that even if he's brought into the cabinet, he won't last long."
Xu Churen is indeed a pity.
He is perfect in both talent and virtue.
This occurred after the Jin army withdrew for the first time.
Zhong Shidao requested the establishment of a defense line along the Yellow River.
Xu Churen said the Jin soldiers had just left and wouldn't come back.
That was the only stain on his life.
But there's a reason for saying that.
As the commander, Zhong Shidao
Naturally, military matters are of paramount importance.
But Xu Churen was in the central government,
However, financial issues must be considered.
The national treasury is so poor that mice can run away with it.
What can be used to build a defense line along the Yellow River?
Wen Huanzhang thought carefully,
"Promote the veteran officials who have served since Hanzhong,"
"Minister of Justice Liu Jian has been promoted to Grand Secretary."
"Xu Fuyan, who was in charge of the Hanlin Academy, was appointed Minister of Justice."
"You think Xiao Chu is the one who will head the Hanlin Academy?"
"This position is perfect for being the chief examiner of the imperial examinations."
"also."
Zhao Yuan nodded.
There's an old man named Wei Tai in Xiangyang.
His home once served as an intelligence relay station.
This person was originally destined for a more important position.
But before Zhao Yuan entered the capital,
Wei Tai suddenly suffered a stroke and became paralyzed.
Zhao Yuan said, "Go and visit Gao Jingshan on my behalf."
“Okay,” Wen Huanzhang said.
Zhao Yuan, who had just returned to the palace,
I ate some simple food.
He then traveled by carriage to visit the seriously ill minister.
It was already dark, and the streetlights were just coming on.
The area outside Donghua Gate was bustling with activity.
Various controls are gradually being relaxed.
Even the price of alcohol has come down.
Although the old powerful and influential are no longer around.
Fanlou's business is much worse.
However, a few powerful figures and wealthy businessmen still maintain the facade.
After passing Yanglou Street, south of Fanlou,
Beyond Xijier Lane lies the yarn shop.
A whole row of shops sells textiles.
Besides silk gauze
All kinds of fine silks and satins were available.
They're still open for business even after dark.
Chapter 1839 Pleading for Mercy
Zhao Yuan lifted a corner of the carriage curtain,
Silently observing the street scene.
A group of servants
Surrounded by two elegantly dressed women,
I'm picking out fabrics in the store.
Several scholars were passing by outside the shop.
They chatted and laughed, glancing left and right.
They appear to be enjoying the Tokyo night view.
A scholar noticed that the Crown Prince's carriage was approaching.
He excitedly turned around and bowed.
His friends also greeted him warmly.
Further south is Panlou.
This place is much more lively than Fanlou.
Because the overall price is cheaper.
It's clear that Tokyo's elite have downgraded their consumption habits.
South of Panlou,
It is Yingdian and Sangjiawazi.
