His Royal Highness is very kind and generous, this is the evaluation of the entire imperial court towards Zhao Xi during this period.

  Zhao Xi knew his limits and also knew when to advance or retreat. Looking back at history, there has never been a arrogant crown prince who had a good ending.

  So he tried to be a low-key prince. Until the courtiers defined some of his showy behavior as a young man as youthful recklessness... He wasn't very old at that time either.

  When discussing matters within his jurisdiction in the imperial court, he only brought his ears to listen, and then continued to listen to the memorial presentation, listening to the old man's lecture on the emperor's mind.

  Even if he was asked, he would answer according to his own speculation about the meaning of the masters and old dads... Isn't it just a harmonious atmosphere? He knows this.

  The Crown Prince, after growing up, showed a similar style to Your Majesty, which made the court very relieved.

  It was when Empress Dou became pregnant that Emperor Zhao's uncle, Dou Wu, who held the title of Prince of Ru'nan, died.

  He thought that this uncle had finally been freed from worrying about the possibility of his own third generation being a spare tire.

  The father and son duo, two generations of backup plans, had painstakingly operated for decades in order to ascend to the throne, but it all dissipated into thin air with his passing.

  These decades have had their joys, their regrets, their resentments and even vicious acts. Now everything is settled.

  It seemed that at the moment he heard of Tang Bo's passing, Zhao Xi also let go of everything he had done for the Ruyang Wangfu.

  When a person dies, his debts are forgiven.

  Later on, I heard that the princes made a joke about who would be the heir, and I didn't have any thoughts about it anymore.

  It's not worth arguing with people like this... In fact, Zhao Xi didn't want to do those bloody things in the clan either, if he had to, it would be like Zhao Zongyao... no bloodshed.

  The imperial court adopted a wait-and-see attitude towards the crown prince's duties, and whenever someone mentioned it, there would be another debate, until finally no one mentioned it again.

  Zhao Zhen actually didn't want to really arrange any official position for his son, not because he was afraid that his son would seize power and have some conflict with him, but because he felt that with his son around, many memorials could be handled more easily.

  The son always managed to cut to the heart of the matter with agility and put forward a solution that was both gentle and effective. Of course, this was not Zhao Xi's intention. When his old man was in power, the handling of memorials had to conform to his father's style. This was also the reason why the officials in the imperial court recognized him after they knew about it.

  So, the matter of Prince's duties was put on hold, at least Zhao Xi felt that it would not be brought up again as long as his old father was alive.

  It doesn't matter, Zhao Xi prefers his current role in the imperial court, it's great to have a comprehensive understanding of the entire country's difficult operation, and also to be familiar with these courtiers objectively, especially those who are outspoken.

  In accordance with the national convention, every official must have experience in serving as a Grand Councillor before being promoted. The current Grand Councillors may become the chief administrators of their own dynasties; they need to understand this clearly.

  Since the controversy over the abandonment of the crown prince's duties, the idle imperial court has started to find fault with each other again, and the prime ministers have been replaced one after another.

  It's not even two years, and the administration has changed twice... Zhao Xi also understood why the administration only knew how to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. There was no way, even if he wanted to implement a policy, before it could be implemented, he would have to leave office.

  To be honest, it's quite messy.

  Ke Zhao Xi had never been outspoken about the appointment and removal of officials, not even a bit.

  He is very clear that he is now the same as he was at the beginning, and even worse than before. As for personnel power, it has always been in the hands of one person, even if that person asks for opinions, it's just a procedure or a show of respect, not letting you take charge.

  He is very strict about this, even if it's his old man, he will still abide by the rules that should be followed.

  Ouyang Xiu returned to the capital, at the age of vigorous and ambitious youth, now also almost knowing the fate of heaven, the sharp edge is gone, but more elegant, more and more like a pure literary person, and nowadays the Guozijian Jijiu seems to be specially reserved for his temperament.

  Ke Huanqi and Fu Bi are still wandering around various military states... Isn't he worried that they will come back to plead for Old Fan?

  From Ouyang Xiu's change, Zhao Xie was worried that these dozen years would wear off the edges of Han Qi and Fu Bi.

  Wang Anshi also met Zhao Xie, and in the many court meetings, Zhao Xie didn't see him say anything earth-shattering... This person Zhao Xie still knew that he was definitely holding back a big move.

  In Zhao Xi's eyes, the one who looks most like a politician is Wen Yibo.

  Ever since he settled a case for Wang Zhen and entered the imperial court, starting as a deputy of the Secretariat, in nearly ten years, the two administrations have been replaced back and forth, but only he has not gone out again.

  It's not that he has no one to impeach, but the other party never yields. What impeachment and self-defense are all about, they have never voluntarily gone out or returned home for disposal. They just stay in the imperial court, watching you talk about me, stubbornly enduring with a thick skin, until you stop talking.

  This is the quality that politicians should have...

  Zhao Xi was like a spectator, watching the entire imperial court's "you sing and I'll come on stage" big show, slowly forming his own governing strategy in his mind.

  Zhao Xi originally thought that he could keep a low profile until he ascended the throne, but unexpectedly, something happened that forced him to reveal his sharp edges.

  You're really smart.

  Not to mention the imperial court, even Zhao Xie didn't take it seriously, because he couldn't recall any famous peasant uprising events in the Song Dynasty.

  The successive reports of the two and three, making the imperial court have to pay attention.

  From Guangnan West Road to Bianliang, even if it's an express delivery, it would take at least half a month, which means that the imperial court receives reports and knows the specific situation of Guangnan West Road, which is nearly a month later than the actual situation on the spot.

  January! Who can imagine that for this month, the entire Guangnan West Road will be chaotic in all sorts of situations.

  At this time, the imperial court finally began to take a serious view of things, but it also became chaotic. This is the true state of affairs in the literary world of the imperial court.

  When the country is in trouble, it's time to think of good generals. At this point, relying on their mouths and pens is useless.

  "Your Majesty, the Guangnan Road has not experienced war for many years, and the soldiers are slack. Although Yu Jing and Sun Ben's reinforcements fought to preserve what they had, I believe that it is necessary to dispatch Western troops to Guangnan."

  Pang Ji said such words, and Zhao Xi always felt that the government hall should have suppressed some memorials.

  It doesn't matter whether they were pressed or not, from Yongzhou onwards, Binzhou, Hengzhou, Guizhou, Xunzhou and Hezhou, all abandoned their cities and fled... The imperial court was indeed a bit too lenient towards these governors.

  "Who is the leader?"

  Zhao Zhen was indeed getting anxious, it had only been three to five days and they had already lost five states, if things continued like this...

  How to say, it's the west of Guangnan Road, and I didn't expect it would be chaotic to this extent. When Nong Zhigao first started the rebellion, no one took it seriously, until later when the imperial army suffered consecutive defeats and lost several cities, only then did they think of making an urgent report. Therefore, the report became a situation where three different versions were submitted in one day.

  "Your Majesty, I think Di Qing and Di Han can be entrusted with this task!"

  "Your Majesty, Di Han is not suitable for the position of commander!"

  As soon as Pang Ji finished speaking, Han Jian directly denied it.

  Why? The imperial court has never had a military general as its commander-in-chief.

  Moreover, there is another rebellion on the other side... Zhao Xi knows that the opportunity has come.
