As soon as Li Yonghe said, Li Zhang understood what he meant. The so-called other concubines actually wanted to ask Li Zhang if he had ever seen his sister, Li Zhang's biological aunt Li Wanyi. However, Li Yonghe did not dare to ask this directly. After all, their family is now nominally relative of Liu E.

"Before his death, His Majesty summoned the concubines in the palace. I saw some of them, but I didn't dare to take a closer look." Li Zhang sighed secretly and replied. Although he knew what Li Yonghe was going to ask, he could not answer directly.

"Ah, that's right." Li Yonghe also showed a disappointed expression after hearing this, and then forced a smile and said, "Although we are relatives of the empress dowager, don't be arrogant. You should be more polite when you see the nobles in the palace, so as not to lose etiquette."

"Well, I know, I'll go back and rest if I have nothing to do." Li Zhang also said calmly.

"Okay, I'll go to rest too!" Li Yonghe said with a dry smile at this time, and then left directly.

Looking at Li Yonghe's leaving back, Li Zhang was silent for a moment and finally turned around and left. In fact, he also wanted to see his aunt, but now is not the time, especially since Zhao Heng just passed away and Liu E was in power again. It was the most sensitive time. He must not touch Liu E's taboos at this time.

Zhao Heng's funeral was preparing in an orderly manner, Zhao Zhen officially ascended the throne and Liu E also began to rule the country from behind the curtain, but one thing happened during this period, that is, after Zhao Heng's death, the political governor Wang once drafted Zhao Heng's will, including a sentence "Military and national affairs and power to take the empress dowager to punish him." This is also Zhao Heng's original words, but Ding Wei suddenly proposed to remove the word "power".

The so-called "power" means temporary, and the meaning of agency is that the imperial power is temporarily handed over to Liu E and will be returned to Zhao Zhen in the future. However, if the power is removed, there will be no deadline. A word difference is a world of difference. At this time, Ding Wei's power is in power, and the other ministers dare not object. In the end, it was Wang Zeng who opposed it, saying that this was contrary to the ancestor's system, and the last words of the late emperor were originally like this, so he refused to change it no matter what. Ding Wei could not refute it, so he had to give up.

"Cousin, what do you mean by Ding Wei? He dared to tamper with his father's last words so blatantly!" Zhao Zhen immediately complained to him angrily when he saw Li Zhang that day.

Seeing Zhao Zhen’s angry look, Li Zhang smiled calmly and said, “What does the eldest lady think about this matter?”

When Liu E was mentioned, Zhao Zhen's little face showed a look of anger again and said, "What I can't understand is the eldest lady. Ding Wei is so bold. The eldest lady should have scolded him, but the eldest lady said nothing. Could it be that she really..."

"Cough!" Before Zhao Zhen could say more excessive words, Li Zhang interrupted him with a loud cough, which made Zhao Zhen finally wake up. He sat aside in disappointment and said no further.

"Actually, Ding Wei may not have a good intention to do this. He may even want to alienate the relationship between you mother and son, and by the way, it can also make the eldest lady relax her vigilance against him!" Li Zhang hesitated for a moment and finally spoke. He was afraid that Zhao Zhen would really have some doubts about Liu E. Once there was a crack in his relationship, it would be much more difficult to make up for it in the future.

"Cousin, what do you mean is that Ding Wei wants to take advantage of the opportunity of his father's death to get rid of us mother and son, and seize power from the eldest lady?" Zhao Zhen was not stupid, and immediately understood what Li Zhang said.

"Yes, everyone used to say that Kou Xianggong was tyrannical, but in my opinion, Ding Wei has greater ambitions. Kou Xianggong was tyrannical at least for public benefit, but Ding Wei, a villain, was just for his own selfish interests. If he was really put in power, the Song Dynasty would probably lead the people to lose their lives!" Li Zhang immediately said with great affirmation. These are things that have happened long ago in history, and this is also his greatest advantage.

"What should I do? Young Master Li was demoted to another place to be an official. Ding Wei's family was the dominant family in the court. If he really undermines the Grand Empress, wouldn't all the decrees be taken by Ding Wei alone?" Zhao Zhen couldn't help but show an anxious look when he heard this. After all, he and Liu E were mother and son, so in his opinion, it was better for Liu E to take charge of the imperial power than Ding Wei, an outsider.

"Don't worry, the eldest lady is not so easy to be deceived. It would be fine if Ding Wei was honestly his prime minister. If he was not honest, the eldest lady would definitely deal with him!" Li Zhang smiled and comforted him. He had absolute confidence in Liu E's methods. For example, in the original history, it was very easy for Liu E to deal with Ding Wei.

"Can the eldest lady really deal with Ding Wei?" Although Zhao Zhen is Liu E's son, his confidence in her is not as good as Li Zhang.

"Don't worry about this. The eldest lady naturally has her plans. You should keep a vigilant for the late emperor now. After the late emperor is buried, you can study hard and grow up quickly. Only in this way can you share some of the burden for the late lady in the future!" Li Zhang patted Zhao Zhen's shoulder and said, although Zhao Zhen was already the emperor, they were still very casual when they got along in private.

"I understand!" Zhao Zhen nodded heavily at this time. In fact, he was impulsive just now. Now that he calmed down, he knew that he was too young and could not do anything even if he was anxious.

"Huh? Why didn't I see Lei Yungong? Didn't he follow you every day?" Li Zhang suddenly turned his head and looked around. Because they were talking, the eunuchs and palace maids around him were far away. However, no matter when in the past, Lei Yungong would be in Zhao Zhen's sight. When there was anything to be told, he could just wave his hand.

"Hmph, this villain Lei Yungong has long fascinated Ding Wei. Especially when Li Shaofu was demoted, Lei Yungong also made efforts from it, and even made him and Ding Wei collude. He no longer took me seriously!" When Zhao Zhen heard Lei Yungong's name, he said annoyed again. He didn't like Lei Yungong at first, and now he is even more disgusted with him.

"He is so brave. Are you really not afraid of the eldest lady dealing with him?" Li Zhang couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard this. After Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, Lei Yungong also jumped from the Eastern Palace Prison to become the number one eunuch in the palace. Although Zhao Zhen did not have real power, it did not affect Lei Yungong's status. So Lei Yungong is now very popular in the palace.

As the saying goes, "Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here." Just as Li Zhang finished speaking, Lei Yungong actually walked in from outside the hall. Seeing Zhao Zhen, he also smiled and bowed: "Report to Your Majesty, there was news from the Political Affairs Hall just now, saying that the Empress Dowager asked the Political Affairs Hall to discuss with the Political Affairs Hall to have the result!"

"What's the result?" Although Zhao Zhen didn't like Lei Yungong, he did not break up. After all, Lei Yungong was promoted by Liu E, and there was Ding Wei behind him, so Zhao Zhen could tolerate Lei Yungong staying by his side.

According to Zhao Heng's last words, Liu E must have ruled the country from behind the scenes. However, this is the first time since the founding of the Song Dynasty, a woman has ruled the country from behind the scenes. Therefore, the ministers still need to discuss a constitution for how to rule the country.

"Ding Xiang and others discussed it and decided to meet the ministers in the Zichen Hall during the two heavenly meetings on the first and fifteenth day of each month. His Majesty will meet with the ministers in the Zichen Hall to listen to government affairs, while the Grand Empress will listen to the affairs in the Wende Hall next to him. Of course, this requires the ministers to run away from both sides. Although it is harder, the ministers should share the worries of His Majesty, which is also what they should do!" Lei Yungong smiled and reported the report again.

"Oh, I understand!" Zhao Zhen nodded immediately and said that the court meetings are divided into several types. For example, the grand court meetings held on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty are only once a year. In addition, there are court meetings held on the first day of each month and the fifteenth day of each month. Because the first day of the first day is the new year and the fifteenth day is the new year, it is also called the New Year and the New Year. In addition, there are regular court meetings every day, and within a day it is divided into morning court and noon court.

Among these dynasties, the dynasty meeting only once a year, and it is mainly ritualistic. Zhao Zhen must attend. As for the dynasty meeting, it is also more important. It is mainly to discuss some important government affairs, and Zhao Zhen also needs to participate. Chang Chao mainly deals with some daily government affairs. Zhao Zhen is still young, so there is no need to attend, otherwise he will attend the dynasty meeting every day and will have no time to study.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that for Zhao Zhen, the court meeting was just a boring task for him. After all, he couldn't understand the government affairs mentioned by the ministers, and in the end he still needed to review it. So it didn't matter whether he participated or not, and he could even sleep for a while if he didn't participate.

"Then Your Majesty means agreeing. I will report back to the Political Affairs Hall now!" Lei Yungong saw Li Zhang nodding and said happily. The Political Affairs Hall is the place where the prime minister of the Song Dynasty handles government affairs. Now it is naturally led by Ding Wei.

"Wait a minute!" But just as Lei Yungong was about to turn around, Li Zhang suddenly stood up and said.

"Is there anything wrong with Li Banju?" Lei Yungong couldn't help but stop and asked again.

"Well, it's nothing, but I think it's still necessary for the empress dowager to nod if it's such a big deal!" Li Zhang said with a smile at this time. When he spoke, he quietly stretched out his finger and poked Zhao Zhen's back.

Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang had developed a tacit understanding, and immediately woke up when they heard Li Zhang's words, and said again: "I think my cousin is right. For such a big thing, please let Ding Xiang go to find the eldest lady. As long as the eldest lady nods, I will definitely agree!"

Lei Yungong, who was originally smiling, froze at this moment, and then looked at Li Zhang deeply, but Li Zhang was not timid at all. At this time, he also looked at him with a smile. Finally, Lei Yungong finally lowered his head and said, "See me!"

"Cousin, why didn't you let me agree just now? Is there anything wrong with Ding Wei's approach they discussed?" As soon as Lei Yungong left, Zhao Zhen asked Li Zhang impatiently.
