"Your Majesty, the queen, concubines, princes and princesses are all here." Han Jia first announced outside the door.
"Okay, I'm going to meet them. Zhuo Qun, let's make an agreement to go to Shanghai together then. I happen to be going to Huaidong and Jiangdong to see the area."
"I will obey your Majesty's will."
After breaking up with Yue Zhuoqun, Zhao Si slowly walked to the main auditorium accompanied by Han Jiaxian.
"Sir A, you have been my captain of the bodyguard for seven years, right?"
"If I reply to Your Majesty, seven years and four months."
"Well, it's been long enough. First it was Cen Meng, then Xue Fanzi. You are the third one, and you are also the one who has been with me the longest. Although I am reluctant to let you go, I must let you go. You can't be my bodyguard all your life.
long."
"Your Majesty, I am willing."
"You are willing, but I can't be sorry to you. Cen Meng, Xue Fanzi, Lingbei and Pingliao all also made meritorious service in the Lingbei and Pingliao wars, and were awarded honors and titles. Now they are all high-ranking officials. They all have a good future, and I can't treat them badly.
You can't let hard-working and loyal people suffer."
"Your Majesty," Han Jia choked before saying, "I am willing to stay with Your Majesty forever."
"You are no longer my captain of the bodyguard, but you are still serving as a general under me. Don't be sad." Zhao Si smiled and said, "I am going to let Yang Weizhong serve as secretary of the province's right cavalry and general commander of the internal and external deployment of the imperial court. In a few days
When he comes back from Yunnan County, you can explain to him. Tell him where you want to go?"
Han Jia thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, my riding and shooting skills are average. The only reason I can stay in front of the emperor is due to your majesty's appreciation for my diligence and carefulness. After thinking about it, I feel that my only advantage is that I am good at water and know how to sail a boat.
"
"Oh, yes, I remember this was written in your resume. Please tell me in detail."
"Replying to Your Majesty, my father is the commander of the crossbowmen of the Chengdu Navy. I grew up on a boat. I followed my father on patrol at the age of seven, and learned how to sail a boat at the age of ten. When I was sixteen, my father died in the line of duty.
Because of my legacy, I joined the imperial army, and later I excelled in a large drill and was selected into the third class of the Right Palace. Then God gave me a gift and allowed me to serve as an errand in Prince Jian's Mansion."
"Well, I remembered this part of your resume." Zhao Si nodded, "In this case, Li Gang is setting up the Navy Bureau, you go and help him. Although Fan Donghai is proficient in maritime affairs and has rich experience in navigation and water warfare, he is a wild man after all.
Even though I am from Luzi, I am still unable to build a whole new system. You three cobblers should be able to stand up to Zhuge Liang and build up my navy."
"According to the order!"
Walking to the main auditorium, Zhao Si walked up. Empress Zeng Shuhua took the imperial concubine Ming, De concubine Li, Shu concubine Yelu, Gong concubine He (Wu Yahan Qina), Li concubine Liu,
The princes and princesses stood up to meet him.
"Everybody sit down, everybody sit down. Today is the time for everyone to come out and relax. No need for red tape." After saying that, Zhao Si held Zeng Shuhua's hand and walked to the middle together to sit down.
"Feeling better today?"
"It's much better than the official family." Zeng Shuhua replied softly, with a hint of sadness in the corners of her eyes.
She gave birth to the eldest princess and the third princess in succession, and finally gave birth to the sixth son of the emperor in the ninth year of Tianqi, with great expectations.
Zhao Si already had five princes. The eldest son and the fourth son were born to Concubine Li, the second son was born to Concubine Li, and the third son was born to Concubine Ming.
However, according to etiquette and law, only the son of Queen Zeng is the legitimate son. Although the sixth son of the emperor is the sixth among the brothers, he is the undisputed legitimate prince and the heir to the throne who is the highest in the etiquette and law.
His birth made countless people inside and outside the court breathe a sigh of relief. With the ballast stone of the legitimate prince, the ministers did not have to worry about chaos in the fight for the legitimate prince.
It happened that he died in February this year, when he was less than three years old. Although Zhao Si made great improvements to the palace health and epidemic prevention, and the birth and care of babies, they could not be perfect. Except for the death of the fourth son of the emperor, the concubine De
The ninth princess born to Li and the eighth princess born to Li Fei Liu also unfortunately died in infancy.
The death of the fourth prince was a huge blow to Empress Zeng. Zhao Si has been patiently comforting and comforting her, and often takes her out to relax and relieve her boredom. To this day, most of her worries seem to have been relieved.
"I'm going to visit Huaidong, Jiangning, Jiangdong and Zhejiang in a few days," Zhao Si said softly to Zeng Shuhua. "The industry there has developed rapidly in the past few years, including cotton yarn, weaving, steel, shipbuilding, and chemical industry.
, is developing vigorously. I want to conduct an on-site inspection. How about going with me then to see the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan?"
"I also want to follow the official family to see the beautiful scenery in the southeast. But the official family is out of the capital, who will supervise the country? The Queen Mother?"
"There is no need for people to supervise the country. After more than ten years of New Deal, the court has become familiar with it and knows how to perform its duties. In the Song Dynasty, there were not so many life-and-death military affairs for me to decide. This time I only went to Jiangdong, not Lingbei.
Northeast, canal clippers, and homing pigeons, you can contact me at any time."
"The current Dazai is Mr. Yuando. He once served as my servant. I can rest assured that he handles affairs."
"Guan family, will the other sisters, as well as the princes and princesses, all go together?"
"Of course we will go together. We will treat our royal family as a group and go to Jiangnan for vacation together. If my mother had not been in poor health, I would also like to invite her to go together."
"I am afraid that such an imperial patrol will cause a lot of noise. I am worried that the government and the public will criticize me, and I am suspected of wasting money and wasting the people. Maybe some ministers will use the example of Emperor Sui Yang to dissuade Your Majesty."
"I know the intentions of the Queen and the ministers. They are just worried that I will bring peace to the world, so they will start to indulge and enjoy themselves. Don't worry, I am still far from realizing my ambition. I have only taken the first step, and the rest will follow.
There is still a long way to go.”
Zhao Si explained.
"In addition to taking everyone on vacation during my southern tour, more importantly, I want to see on the spot and see our most important industrial base in the future of the Song Dynasty. I have conducted on-the-spot inspections in Gyeonggi, Qinchuan, Hedong, Hebei, and Qilu.
However, I know exactly what the situation is."
"But I have not conducted on-the-spot inspections in Huaidong, Jiangning, Jiangdong, and Zhejiang. I am not sure if I rely solely on other people's reports. Especially in these places, the economic strength and taxation accounted for an increasingly important proportion in the Song Dynasty.
If I don’t go and take a look, I won’t be able to sleep well.”
Having said this, Zhao waved his hand as if he didn't care, "Don't worry about their criticism. The cost of the southern tour will naturally come from the internal treasury, and the national treasury will not be used for half a cent. It's not like my wife doesn't know that Lingbei
I dare to go to such difficult places and don’t care about enjoyment.”
"I just want to relax and find out. As long as safety is guaranteed, I can keep a low profile. I am visiting incognito and privately. I will not disturb the prefectures and counties to prevent them from creating false prosperity. Naturally, I don't want them to clean up the place and repair the palace - you are my most important
What a good cover."
Zeng Shuhua also laughed, "Your Majesty is used to marching and fighting. He thinks about the art of war in everything. Even during the southern patrol, he tried to hide the truth from the enemy and attack the west."
Zhao Si also smiled, and Li Fang came closer and said, "Your Majesty, madam, the competition is about to begin. Your Majesty, King Cai, would like to invite your Majesty to give an opening speech."
