"Please Wang? When did you come back?" Li Zhang couldn't help but show a look of surprise when he saw Wang Zengshi in the palace. Although Zhao Zhen had said before that he would summon Wang Zeng back to Beijing to serve, Li Zhang was very surprised when he suddenly saw him appear in the palace.

"I just came back today, is this Ling Ai?" Wang Zeng and Li Zhang were also old acquaintances. They also said with a smile, and looked at An Ran in Li Zhang's arms. Although he was not in the capital in recent years, he also heard that Li Zhang had a daughter.

"Yes, An Ran, salute to Wang Xiang!" Li Zhang said and put An Ran down, but the little girl actually made a good move, which made Wang Zeng smile.

"An Ran is coming to my cousin quickly. Where did you go just now?" Zhao Zhen was very happy to see An Ran. He greeted him without any pride. As a result, An Ran was not afraid at all. He quickly ran to Zhao Zhen and shouted clearly: "Cousin hug me!"

Zhao Zhen immediately picked An Ran up and turned around for a few times. Wang Zeng also got up and left, because his affairs had just been finished, and Li Zhang personally sent Wang Zeng out of the hall. However, when Wang Zeng left, he suddenly asked Li Zhang: "Master Li, I heard that you have a good relationship with Lu Yijian?"

"My relationship with Lu Xiang is just like I am with Wang Xiang. In contrast, I met Wang Xiang first." Li Zhang immediately spread his hands and replied helplessly. He knew what Wang Zeng meant, but he didn't want to introduce the fight between the two.

When Wang Zeng heard Li Zhang's answer, he was stunned at first, then laughed loudly, and when he turned around and left, he left a sentence: "Vice Li is really a wonderful person!"

"There is no good person, but the ordinary person is true!" Li Zhang said the truth, but Wang Zeng laughed even more violently after hearing this.

After seeing Wang Zeng off, Li Zhang turned around and returned to the hall. Zhao Zhen hugged An Ran on his lap, took a lion paperweight for the little girl as a toy, and chatted with the little girl. However, An Ran was only two years old. Although the child of this age had already spoken very clearly, it was still difficult to let her answer questions in an orderly manner, but Zhao Zhen was happy and could see that he liked the children very much.

"An Ran, who did you meet when you enter the palace?" Zhao Zhen asked with a smile again. It has been a long time since Queen Zhang passed away.

"Grandma... younger brother, younger brother..." An Ran first answered his grandma, then thought for a while before calling out his brother excitedly. He probably thought of the cute Zhao Fang. After all, there is a special attraction among children. An Ran rarely comes into contact with other children, so he was also very excited when he thought of Zhao Fang.

When Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment when he heard An Ran call his younger brother, he realized that she was talking about his son, which made him look complicated. Then he asked Li Zhang: "Cousin, are you going to see your mother?"

"Well, my aunt wants Anran, so Qingzhi and I took her into the palace and let Anran know her younger brother. After not seeing each other for a while, Fang'er not only gained a lot of weight, but also became white and tender. Anran liked him very much and just held Fang'er's hand and refused to let go." Li Zhang also replied with a smile.

Maybe it was Li Zhang's words that touched Zhao Zhen, maybe it was An Ran's innocence that made him think of his son, and hesitated for a moment and finally stood up and said, "I haven't visited my mother for a long time. She must be exhausted when she helps me take care of the child!"

Li Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhao Zhen say this, because this shows that Zhao Zhen does not really like Zhao Fang, but he developed a knot due to Empress Zhang's death, but it is not serious. As long as you get along with your children more often, it should not be difficult to untie it.

At that moment, Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen left the Chuigong Hall, and then came to Empress Dowager Li's bedroom again. Zhao Fang, a little guy, had just eaten enough and had not yet slept. Empress Dowager Li was teasing him with a rattle, and the little guy also stretched out his fat little hand to grab it, but he couldn't catch it. As a result, he screamed in a hurry. Finally, Empress Dowager Li also smiled and stuffed the small drum into his hand, which made the little guy smiled with satisfaction.

"See Mother!" Zhao Zhen came in and saw Empress Li, and immediately saluted.

"Your Majesty, come quickly. Fang'er is so gratifying. Now she can play with her own games." Empress Dowager Li immediately greeted in surprise when she saw Zhao Zhen coming in, and then she stuffed the child into Zhao Zhen's arms.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Zhao Zhen hugged him after Zhao Fang was born. When Zhao Fang was just born and was carried out by his midwife, he just took a look and asked someone to hug her to Queen Mother Li. After that, Empress Zhang passed away, and Zhao Zhen had no chance to hug her child. Now that his mother suddenly stuffed the child into his hands, he was also at a loss. After all, Zhao Fang was not like An Ran. An Ran could run or jump, and he could hold him anyway, but Zhao Fang was like a soft bug, and he couldn't even raise his head. There were some specialties when hugging him.

Seeing Zhao Zhen's busy look, Li Zhang hurriedly pointed out a few words, which made Zhao Zhen hold the child in his arms correctly. At this time, Zhao Fang also shook the rattle. Listening to the "dong dong dong" sound, he immediately smiled happily. His white and fat face was wrinkled together, and even his eyes narrowed into a slit.

Zhao Zhen looked at his son's cute and innocent smile and seemed to be very touched. The originally stiff expression on his face began to melt. In fact, even the father-son family relationship needs to be cultivated. If a father and son do not communicate normally, or even do not meet for many years, the relationship will gradually fade, which also applies to other feelings.

Seeing Zhao Zhen holding his son, Li Zhang winked at Qingzhi at this time, and the other party immediately understood. Then she hugged An Ran and left quietly. Li Zhang also whispered to Queen Mother Li. Queen Mother Li also immediately understood what Li Zhang meant. After all, Li Zhang's family of three were here. When Zhao Zhen saw it, he might be sad again, so he nodded and sent Li Zhang away.

"Husband, I think Your Majesty still likes children very much. His knot should be untied, right?" On the way back, Aoi also asked Li Zhang. Although she had not heard Li Zhang and Empress Dowager Li's conversation before, she could probably guess the cause and effect of this matter.

"Now, we have only initially untied the knot of Your Majesty. If we want to completely untickle it, we need to let the father and son get along more and deepen their relationship." Li Zhang said again immediately. Parents also need to participate in various stages of their children's growth so as to cultivate deeper family affection. If parents lack the growth of their children, they will cause various problems, such as left-behind children in later generations are typical.

The next morning, the news of Wang Zeng returning to the capital spread throughout the capital. Compared with Li Di, Wang Zeng had much more reputation, so the news of his return also caused greater trouble. On the morning court that day, Zhao Zhen formally issued an order to appoint Wang Zeng as the Privy Councilor and the Minister of Personnel. As for the envoy of the Three Divisions, Chen Yaozuo was temporarily appointed.

Although the Privy Councilor's power is not as powerful as the prime minister, he is also one of the three giants in the court. He directly enters the core of power of the court and can participate in the handling of core government affairs. In addition to Lu Yijian, only Wang Zeng has the highest prestige among the many ministers. In addition, Wang Zeng was the prime minister for many years and there were many relatives and friends in the court, so Wang Zeng had become a confrontation with Lu Yijian.

You should know that before Wang Zeng came back, Lu Yijian had not fallen through two dynasties and supported Zhao Zhen at a critical moment. He was a veteran of the two dynasties. Although there were some old ministers in the court, they could not be compared with Lu Yijian. To put it bluntly, the entire court almost became Lu Yijian's one-man show. This also reminded people of the original Ding Wei, so Zhao Zhen found a way to establish an opponent for Lu Yijian.

Lu Yijian's performance did not disappoint. According to Li Zhang's information, on the first day Wang Zeng went to the Political Affairs Hall, he almost had a conflict with Lu Yijian. Although Lu Yijian did not directly point the finger at Wang Zeng, he scolded the Prime Minister Song Shou for not being qualified, but Wang Zeng returned to Beijing this time and recommended it by Song Shou, so Lu Yijian almost pointed at Wang Zeng and scolded him. As a result, Wang Zeng also refused, and the first contact between the two broke up.

In addition to the secrets of the palace, the battles in the court are the favorite gossip among Tokyo people, so the news of Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian's disagreement immediately spread throughout the capital, becoming the biggest gossip after the funeral of Queen Zhang and the birth of the prince Zhao Fang. For a moment, everyone was discussing the grudges between Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian with relish.

However, although Wang Zeng had a high prestige, his position was not as good as Lu Yijian after all, so Wang Zeng was at a disadvantage in the initial confrontation, while Lu Yijian used his identity as prime minister to suppress Wang Zeng everywhere, which made Wang Zeng furious. However, Wang Zeng was not Li Di, and he also knew Zhao Zhen's intention to let him return to Beijing, so Wang Zeng's strategy for this was just one word, that is "tolerance". As long as Lu Yijian did not completely break up with him, he would not bother with him.

In addition to handling government affairs, Zhao Zhen has been paying attention to Empress Zhang's funeral and the construction of the imperial tomb. He has also been occupied by Empress Dowager Li and Zhao Fang, so he has no time to pay attention to the battle between Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian. For him, as long as the two fights are not out of line, after all, this was arranged by him.

Li Zhang has also been paying attention to the matter between Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng. He did not want to intervene in this matter, because both sides are acquaintances and although they are not friends, they have had some interactions, especially Lu Yijian. No matter what the other party is for, he has given him guidance, so he must repay this favor. Although Lu Yijian now has the upper hand, he can see some bad signs from it.
