Li Zhang's words were heartbroken. If outsiders heard it, it might bring him a murder. However, Zhao Zhen was very moved after hearing it, because he knew that only Li Zhang would say these words to him. Neither the ministers outside nor the people around him would have the courage.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen pondered for a while, and finally calmly asked Li Zhang again: "Cousin, you are the person I trust the most. Now I want to ask you to tell me what should I do?"

"What shouldn't be listened to, don't listen, don't watch, don't watch, don't do, don't do, let yourself grow up safely. Your biggest advantage is actually your age. The eldest lady grows up day by day, but you grow up day by day. As long as the time comes, it's yours or yours, no one can take it away!" Li Zhang patted Zhao Zhen's shoulder and said earnestly. For Zhao Zhen now, doing nothing is the best choice.

"Okay! I'll listen to my cousin!" Zhao Zhen nodded heavily at this time. Although Li Zhang was Liu E's relative in the eyes of others, Li Zhang was closer to him in the eyes of Zhao Zhen. Sometimes people's feelings are very accurate, which is why Zhao Zhen trusted Li Zhang so much.

Li Zhang also felt Zhao Zhen’s trust in him, which made him nodded in a very touching way, and then smiled and said, “Not only do you need time, but I also need time to grow up. When our brothers grow up, they will definitely bring a huge change to the entire Song Dynasty, and then you will also become the greatest emperor in history!”

Li Zhang's words also made Zhao Zhen feel excited. This is the best thing for young people, and they are very likely to be incited by the bright future drawn by others. However, unlike others, Li Zhang can not only draw a bright future for Zhao Zhen, but also have the ability to help him realize it. However, before that, they still need to wait patiently.

Because of the reign of the "Tian Sheng", there were endless quarrels in the court, but the one who opposed the most fiercely was not Wang Zeng, but Lu Zongdao, who was the Zuo Yude and Zhilongtu Pavilion at the time, was also one of the prime ministers, and Wang Zeng was also considered the deputy prime minister.

Speaking of Lu Zongdao, his experience is quite legendary, because others may be promoted by relationships or abilities, but Lu Zongdao's promotion depends on a drink, and there is also a very interesting story.

Many people in later generations said that the salary of officials in the Song Dynasty was the most favorable. This statement was correct, because the salary of officials in the upper class was indeed very generous, especially the prime minister. Just relying on salary alone was enough to live a very luxurious life. For example, when Kou Zhun was the prime minister, he would entertain guests at home every day, and his life was quite luxurious. Until later someone advised him, he changed his extravagant life and donated most of his salary. But even so, the salary left behind still made him very rich.

However, compared with the upper-level officials, the salaries of lower-level officials in the Song Dynasty were still not high. For example, Lu Zongdao was in the secretary's supervisor at that time, and his salary was not very high. He liked to drink, so he often went to a tavern to have a few drinks.

On that day, while Lu Zongdao was drinking, an eunuch from the palace suddenly came. Zhao Heng, who was still alive, summoned him to draft an edict. As a result, Lu Zongdao went away with alcohol. Zhao Heng asked him where to drink, and he reported truthfully. As a result, this made Zhao Heng very angry because the Song Dynasty stipulated that officials were not allowed to drink in public places, and Lu Zongdao obviously violated this regulation.

However, Lu Zongdao calmly defended himself. He said that his salary was not high and he could not afford expensive wineries at all, so he could only go to the tavern to drink. Moreover, when he went to the tavern, he would take off his official uniform. In addition, the tavern was very remote and no one knew him at all, so he did not affect the image of the officials because of drinking.

Zhao Heng was not angry about Lu Zongdao's defense, but also admired him quite a bit, so he promoted him to a censor, which finally made Lu Zongdao find a path that suits him. When Zhao Heng was in power, he gave advice to Zhao Heng almost every day, and even blatantly opposed the matter of the Heavenly Book.

But strangely, Zhao Heng always admired Lu Zongdao very much. Even if he did not accept his opinions, he never punished him for this. When Zhao Heng died, Lu Zongdao also served as the minister of the orphanage.

Lu Zongdao has a straightforward personality. He will definitely write letters to advise anything he doesn't like, and he is never afraid of offending others. It is precisely because of his temper that he is also called "fish head prime minister". The so-called fish head has two meanings. The first is that the word Lu is separated and it is fish head, while the second is that Lu Zongdao's temper is like a fish head, which cannot be cooked or chewed.

Due to Lu Zongdao's temper, he naturally disagreed with the "Tiansheng" reign title proposed by Liu E, and he also had a big fight with Wang Qinruo, Cao Yong and others who supported Liu E. He was upright and eloquent. As a result, Wang Qinruo and Cao Yong were scolded by him so hard that they dared not speak. It is said that when these two people met Lu Zongdao outside, they would even deliberately avoid him, so as not to provoke the fish-headed prime minister.

However, no matter how fierce the Lu Zongdao was, it could not change Liu E's determination. In the end, the year name "Tian Sheng" was forced to be determined. After the New Year, Liu E officially announced that this year was the first year of Tian Sheng.

Regarding the battle in the court, Zhao Zhen always followed Li Zhang's advice, neither listening nor watching nor doing anything, and let Liu E handle everything. Some Lu Zongdao even went to see Zhao Zhen personally, but was rejected by Zhao Zhen, which disappointed the court. After all, even the emperor was not on their side, and no matter how much they made a fuss, it would be useless.

Li Zhang returned to the crown after the Chinese New Year, planting his own potatoes with peace of mind, and urging the training of the musket battalion on the other hand. Now muskets can be produced in batches. In order to ensure quality, he divided the craftsmen who made muskets into several groups. After each musket was produced, the corresponding mark would be engraved. If there was a problem with the musket, the team that made muskets would be seriously punished. Of course, if the muskets were of excellent quality, the corresponding group would also be rewarded generously.
