Mingdao, the sun and the moon are in harmony. At that time, Wu Zetian named himself Wu Zhao. It is said that the word "Zhao" was created by Wu Zetian himself, meaning that the sun and the moon are in the sky, and the heroine is in the mountains. Now Liu E imitates Wu Zetian and takes the meaning of the sun and the moon as a person, and her ambition is almost obvious.

Everyone in the court kept silent about the change of Liu E's reign to Mingdao, but it was not that these people had no idea, but that they all knew that Liu E's health was not good. To put it bluntly, Liu E is just struggling before her death. There was no need for them to care about these things with Liu E, just wait patiently.

Of course, these ministers were also worried that if Liu E's health improved and then cheered up, those who opposed it would be unlucky. Of course, even if Liu E's health did not improve, the power was still in her hands, and there would definitely be no good ending when she was openly against her. Therefore, they only need to respond to changes in the same way as constant. Perhaps one day that everyone hopes will come soon.

Thinking of Liu E's current situation, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh. Although he hadn't experienced it, it would definitely be uncomfortable to feel that most people around him were hoping for his death. Fortunately, Liu E had experienced too many storms in her life. Otherwise, if it were ordinary people, she would probably be unable to withstand the pressure and collapsed.

If it were in the past, when Li Zhang and Liu E were not as distant as they are now, he might have persuaded Liu E to let her hand over the imperial power as soon as possible so that she could leave the market decently in the future and would not offend too many people. However, in the current situation, if Li Zhang dared to speak, he would definitely be suspected by Liu E to collude with Zhao Zhen. Not only would he be unlucky, but Zhao Zhen would also be implicated.

Early that morning, after breakfast, Li Zhang asked his family to prepare a carriage, and then went to Qingzhi to say goodbye to their mother and daughter, because Liu E issued an order yesterday afternoon to ask him to return to the martial arts school again. Today he planned to go to the martial arts school to take a look.

Speaking of this, Li Zhang often paid attention to the situation of martial arts during this period. When Hu Yan Bixian occasionally came home, he would come to him to sit here, so Li Zhang could also inquire about some internal martial arts. Compared to when he left, the current martial arts had not changed much except for the scale of several times. Even the position of the school supervisor was kept for Li Zhang. The court had wanted to send a new school supervisor several times, but Cao Wei refused.

However, Cao Wei's health was not very good during this period. In fact, he was originally going to recuperate when he returned to Beijing. The most serious old cold legs were relieved a lot by Li Zhang's reminder. However, in addition to this, there were other diseases in him, which were almost all the root causes of the disease on the battlefield. With his age, he could not eradicate it and could only relieve the condition. However, as soon as Li Zhang left, all the burdens of martial arts were pressed on Cao Wei, which naturally made him unable to bear it.

After saying goodbye to his wife and daughter, Li Zhang rushed to Wucheng King Temple in a carriage. Speaking of which, he hadn't been here for nearly two years. When he came to martial arts, he found that there were still many changes here. Even if he stood outside, he could see many more houses inside. Moreover, the shouts of killing in martial arts were shocking. If anyone who didn't know would think this was a military camp, but in fact, this place was not much different from the military camp.

The soldiers guarding the gate recognized Li Zhang and immediately saluted when they saw him coming in. Li Zhang nodded and walked in. The number of students in martial arts was several times higher, mainly because they recruited new students every year. The old students had not graduated yet, so the number of teachers naturally increased accordingly. However, the students in the first session of next year will graduate and join the army. The future prospects of martial arts at that time depends on their performance in the army.

Li Zhang did not rush to find Cao Wei, but instead made a recreation in martial arts. Although most of them were innocent, they could occasionally meet some acquaintances. When they saw Li Zhang, they all came forward to say hello. Li Zhang also smiled and chatted with each other for a few words. Finally, he came to the school ground behind without realizing it.

"Huh?" At this moment, Li Zhang suddenly found a strange person in the training team at the school. He saw a group of young students with tender faces mixed with a bearded student. At first, Li Zhang thought he was a teacher, but seeing that he and the students were wearing uniform clothes and practicing strictly under the teacher's slogan, he should be a student.

"Are they a trainee from the army? But they look too old?" Li Zhang said to himself, touching his chin at this time. The trainees selected in the army are generally required to be under the age of 25. These trainees are generally poor, have suffered a lot since childhood, and have struggled in the army for many years. Most of them are relatively mature, but it is the first time that Li Zhang has seen such a trainee as mature as this bearded trainee.

However, this bearded man only aroused Li Zhang's curiosity for a moment. He soon left the school ground and came to Cao Wei's office room. When he knocked on the door, an old voice came from inside, "Come in!"

Li Zhang pushed the door and walked into the room. He saw Cao Wei, who was lying on the desk to handle official duties. However, compared to two years ago, Cao Wei was already covered in white hair, which made him feel a little moved: "Long Mountain, long time no see!"

Cao Wei immediately raised his head when he heard Li Zhang's voice. When he saw him, he said with surprise: "Li Zhang, you are finally here. Please sit down and have a tea!"

With Cao Wei's order, an old servant immediately brought the tea. Li Zhang also smiled and sipped it before saying, "How are you in your health? I heard you are sick again at the beginning of this year?"

Cao Wei also smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "I'm old and useless. I think I could ambush in the snow nest for three days and three nights, but now I'll get sick at any time. I've even thought of resigning from my old man before. But now you're back, I guess I can hold on for a few more years. No matter what, I'll see the first batch of students entering the army to do something!"

Cao Wei is not only the pride of the generals, but also a flag in the army. As long as he is in charge of martial arts and does nothing, he can stabilize people's hearts and inspire students. This is incomparable to anyone. Cao Wei himself knows this, so as long as his body allows him, he will stay in martial arts forever.

"Don't worry, please leave me any hard work in the future. You just need to rest with peace of mind!" Li Zhang immediately patted his chest and promised that Cao Wei was his respected person. If it weren't for Li Zhang's recommendation to return to Beijing to recuperate, Cao Wei might just need to stay at home and play with his grandchildren.

"Just have you, I will give you all these things in the future. I am old and my eyes are blurred. Sometimes I can't even see clearly!" Cao Wei was not polite, and immediately pushed all the documents in front of Li Zhang and said, "These things took up a lot of his time and energy, leaving him without time to rest at all.

Li Zhang did not recommend it either. He picked up a document and read it. When he encountered any questions, he asked Cao Wei for advice. Cao Wei also took this opportunity to explain to Li Zhang the changes in martial arts over the past two years. Although Hu Yanbixian said that there were not many changes in martial arts, there were actually many changes. After all, the number of people has increased so many, and some things must be changed accordingly.

Li Zhang was young and strong, and his martial arts was founded by him and Cao Wei, so he took over these things very smoothly. He even handled most of the official duties in Cao Wei in a short period of time. This made Cao Wei look envious and sighed that it was so good to be young.

"By the way, Li Zhang, you were on a mission to the Liao Kingdom before. Have you noticed anything?" Cao Wei suddenly asked again. Although he has been guarding the northwest for many years, he is still very concerned about the Liao Kingdom. In fact, when he was young, he had been stationed in Hebei for many years, and even his old cold legs are the root cause of the disease left in Hebei.

Li Zhang did not hide it, and explained in detail the story of his mission to Liao Kingdom, especially the many contradictions within Liao Kingdom. He also emphasized the conflicts within Liao Kingdom, and finally said again: "I see that the Liao Kingdom has many conflicts. The previous Dayanlin Rebellion was one of the consequences of this conflict. Moreover, after this rebellion, it can be seen that the Liao Kingdom's military strength is declining!"

After hearing Li Zhang's words, Cao Wei also showed a meditative expression. After a moment, he spoke: "You are right. The strength of the Liao Kingdom is indeed declining, but you can't underestimate them too much. The Liao army's cavalry is still very elite, but are you really sure that civil strife will break out of the Liao Kingdom?"

"The mountain leader needs no doubt about this. The newly ascended Liao Kingdom is young and his biological mother is incompatible with his adoptive mother. Moreover, I see that Xiao Nojin is ambitious. The conflict between her and Xiao Guanyin is irreconcilable. I even dare to assert that the conflict between the two will completely break out within this year!" Li Zhang also showed a very affirmative look on his face when he spoke at the end.

Li Zhang has been paying attention to the situation in Liao during this period. Unfortunately, the Liao Kingdom is too far away, and the transmission of news is seriously lagging behind. For example, if something major happened to the Liao Kingdom, it might have been one or two months later when the news reached Tokyo. Therefore, Li Zhang suspected that the conflict between Xiao Nojin and Xiao Guanyin had broken out, but the Song Dynasty had not received the news yet.

"If this is the case, it will be a great thing for our Song Dynasty!" Cao Wei nodded repeatedly when he heard this. The Liao Dynasty was in chaos and the pressure on Hebei was much lighter, which allowed the Song Dynasty to free up more things.
