Chapter 291 Reason

Seeing that Li Zhang didn't understand what he meant, Liu E couldn't help but smile and said, "It's normal for you to not understand, because among the civil and military officials in the court, only Wang Qinruo and you are the ones who can do the word "respect and respect". You are a junior of the Ai family, and I grew up watching him. It's normal for you to respect and obey me. But look at those civil and military officials. Although they dare not disobey the will of the Ai family on the surface, which one in their hearts really respects the Ai family?"

When Liu E said the last sentence, she couldn't help but feel excited and aggravated her tone. When Li Zhang heard this, he finally understood that the ministers in the court were indeed very respectful to Liu E on the surface, but to be honest, how many of these ministers can really respect Liu E who is of a very low origin and a woman? In addition, Zhao Zhen was young, so when Liu E was in power behind the curtain, she was very angry with these ministers.

Of course, Liu E often made frequent tricks, and even Ding Wei, who was powerful for a while, was demoted to Hainan by her, which made the court new for a while. The remaining ministers did not dare to do anything out of line, but they still looked down on Liu E, especially because they knew that Liu E was old and would sooner or later return to power by Zhao Zhen, so they were all patiently waiting for the breakup between Liu E and Zhao Zhen, and the day when Liu E fell, and Yan Shu was the representative of it.

However, among these ministers, one of them truly respects Liu E and will do his best to complete the decree of Liu E. This is Wang Qinruo, which is the main reason why Liu E disagrees with the public and re-enables Wang Qinruo as prime minister. In the first few years, Wang Qinruo also became Liu E's biggest supporter in the court. It was with his help that Liu E could stabilize the power in his hands step by step and not cause too much turmoil in the Song Dynasty.

Unfortunately, Wang Qinruo is older and he is six years older than Liu E. In addition, the heavy government affairs have been pressing on him in recent years, which has made his health worse and worse. This year, he has completely left the court. Liu E has also lost one of his most capable assistants. This is why Liu E is so sad. The reward for Wang Qinruo was also obtained by his support for Liu E over the years.

"The aunt doesn't have to be too angry. It's normal for the ministers to have their own thoughts. As long as it doesn't affect government affairs, let them go. After all, there is a saying that goes: I'm not a copper coin, and I can't make everyone like it." Li Zhang also spoke out at this time, and finally copied an online term from later generations and joked.

Sure enough, when Liu E heard Li Zhang's last inappropriate words, she couldn't help laughing. Her displeasure just now was swept away, and finally she couldn't help but slap Li Zhang's forehead: "You kid can say some strange things, but you seem to be going to turn into copper coins. Isn't that money business the one you opened?"

Li Zhang was not surprised that Liu E knew about the money. He smiled shamelessly and said, "You are the eldest lady. There are too many brothers and sisters in the family, especially many of them are at the age of marriage. My elder brother also needs to prepare brides and dowry for them, so it's not okay if you don't find a way to earn some money."

"Hmph, I'm just trying to worry about others. Why don't you worry more yourself? I think that Liu family woman is good. You have seen each other several times, and it's time to settle the matter!" Liu E said to Li Zhang's explanation, but said with a blank look that Zhao Zhen was already married, and now only Li Zhang's marriage can make her remember it.

"This...hehe, don't worry, I'll think about it again!" Li Zhang heard Liu E mentioning about himself and Qingzhi again, and immediately smiled. He originally wanted to make an excuse for the Qianzhang, but he didn't expect that he would eventually lead the fire to him.

"You are not in a hurry, but the girl can't wait. Although she can't get married for the past three years, she can decide the marriage. If you don't decide, I'm afraid they won't be willing to wait for you!" Liu E couldn't help but vent her breath when she saw Li Zhang's smiley look. She really couldn't figure out what Li Zhang was thinking, why did she just not want to decide the marriage earlier?

Seeing that Liu E was a little angry, Li Zhang smiled helplessly and didn't know what to say. Liu E also felt a sense of regret, but finally sighed and said, "Forget it, it will be the Lantern Festival in a few days. You will also enter the palace early that day and accompany me with Zhen'er. As you get older, you will become more and more afraid of loneliness."

"Yes!" When Li Zhang heard that Liu E asked him to enter the palace on the Lantern Festival, he immediately bowed and agreed, and at the same time he felt relieved. He was really afraid that Liu E would be angry and forced herself to decide the marriage. After all, it is a feudal society now, and Liu E would not tell him about freedom of marriage. Arranged marriage is the mainstream of this era.

On the third day after Wang Qinruo's coffin left the capital, Liu E finally issued an order to announce that Wang Zeng would replace Wang Qinruo's prime minister. In fact, Wang Zeng was originally the second prime minister, so it was natural to replace the prime minister. However, Wang Zeng was rejected by Liu E twice before, and could only stay in the second prime minister's position. Now he finally got what he wanted.

No matter how prominent a person is in his life, after his life disappears, this distinction will gradually disappear. Even Zhao Heng, the emperor, was quickly forgotten after his death, let alone Wang Qinruo. So just a few days later, few people mentioned the name Wang Qinruo again, and everyone is discussing the upcoming Shangyuan Festival. It is estimated that in a few years, people can only find this name from historical books, which is also the main reason why so many scholars pursue the history of leaving their names.

Li Zhang's family is also preparing for the Spring Festival. At this time of year, Li Zhang would ask craftsmen to erect a headlight in front of his home. In fact, all the people living in this street are high-ranking officials and nobles. Therefore, every year during the Spring Festival, the headlights in front of each house become a means of fighting. Whoever has a bigger and more gorgeous light will be more respectful.

Li Zhang was not interested in this kind of fighting lights, but this year he encountered many happy events at home. For example, Li Zhang was promoted and awarded a title, and his money was in great momentum. Li Yonghe also married his wife, so the family naturally had to be lively. So he hired a group of wise craftsmen to build the largest and most gorgeous turtle lamp, and won the title of the street among the lamps.
