Tokyo Bianliang has been a long and shorter period in five years. In the past five years, the population of Tokyo has increased significantly, making the entire capital more prosperous. However, too much population has also led to too crowding in the city and has no choice but to expand outward. This has also turned the outside of the original wall of the capital into a residential area, and there are even a few satellite cities around it. Last year, after statistics, the long-term population of the capital was nearly two million.

As August approaches, the capital city has entered a clear and refreshing autumn weather. After breakfast, Li Zhang came to his small garden and took a kettle to water the flowers and plants in the garden. After the scorching heat, these flowers and plants also ushered in a new growing season, especially the various chrysanthemums unique to Tokyo, which are in full bloom. The most important thing is that the word chrysanthemums in this era are still very pure, unlike later generations that have brought too much pollution.

Since Lu Yijian gave Li Zhang a warning before his death, Li Zhang has completely escaped from the court in recent years, and even left the medical school to others to take care of. He spent most of his time at home, either raising flowers and plants, or teaching children a few classes, and his life was very leisurely.

Zhao Zhen was very puzzled at first about Li Zhang's behavior of leaving the court. Although he had grown into a suitable emperor, he was still very dependent on Li Zhang. When he encountered some difficult things, he also used to discussing with Li Zhang. However, now Li Zhang is unwilling to participate in the court again, which makes Zhao Zhen very uncomfortable.

However, later Li Zhang talked to Zhao Zhen several times and expressed his idea of ​​wanting to take a few years of rest, especially in the past few years, he had too many things to be busy with and had no time to spend with his family, and his family occupied a very important position in Li Zhang's heart.

Zhao Zhen grew up with Li Zhang, so he naturally knew the status of his family in Li Zhang's heart. He also knew that since he ascended the throne, Li Zhang had almost care about him. When Liu E was alive, he had to deal with Liu E. Later, after he took power, Li Zhang had to exhaust his mind to help him promote the development of the Song Dynasty. It can be said that the Song Dynasty has its current grand occasion, and Li Zhang would take half of the credit.

In addition, Zhao Zhen also knew that Li Zhang had no interest in power, and he did the above to help him. Now Li Zhang proposed to rest, which made Zhao Zhen unable to refuse, and in the end he had to abide by this matter.

"My husband's flowers are so well raised. The few pots of chrysanthemums I gave to my mother the other day also praised her, saying that the flowers you raise are almost comparable to the Queen Mother's Eunuch!" At this moment, suddenly a crisp voice was heard.

Li Zhang looked up when he heard the sound and saw Miao Yuan standing outside the flower garden at a glance. He saw that Miao Yuan had already lost the youthfulness of a girl and became a mature young woman. However, the years seemed to leave no trace on her face, but instead she had a little more maturity and beauty.

"The flowers my aunt raises are much better than me. As the saying goes, I have only been working hard to grow flowers and water them for three years." Li Zhang smiled and greeted him. He and Miao Yuan were already real couples, and Qingzhi had already agreed that the two now have two sons and one daughter. Although many of the nobles knew that the child was from Li Zhang, no one dared to say a word.

Miaoyuan also stepped forward at this time, but Li Zhang picked a jade hairpin and put it on her head. Although the two were already considered old couples, their relationship became deeper, which made Miaoyuan always believe that he had not read the wrong person.

"Does it look good?" Miaoyuan lets Li Zhang put the jade hairpin on his hair bun, and then asked Li Zhang with a shy expression on his face.

"It looks good, people are more beautiful than flowers. This sentence is simply for you!" Li Zhang smiled and said, "After so many years, he has spoken sweet words. Never underestimate the charm of language, especially between husband and wife. Occasionally speaking sweet words can make the relationship between both parties more stable. Of course, the most important thing is sweet words without money.

Sure enough, when Miao Yuan heard Li Zhang's praise, he also showed a shy expression, but he still retorted: "I'm not serious, I'm all an old woman, how can I look better than a girl in my 20s?"

"This is different. Every age has its beauty. I remember your 28-year-old beauty, and the beauty now is also seen!" Li Zhang said gently again, and Miao Yuan was full of heart. After a long time of falling into this sweetness, he couldn't wake up.

After a while, Miaoyuan suddenly remembered that he had something to do with Li Zhang today, so he stood up and said, "By the way, the court is going to use troops against the Liao Kingdom. For such a big thing, don't you want to participate in it?"

"Haha, is Your Majesty asking you to test me?" Li Zhang immediately guessed something when he heard Miaoyuan's words, and immediately said with a smile. Yesterday, Miaoyuan entered the palace, and today she came to ask herself about the attack on the Liao Kingdom. She has never cared much about the affairs in the court, so she saw that there was a problem.

"If you know, you still ask?" Miao Yuan gave Li Zhang a blank look. "Yesterday I accompanied my mother to the palace to visit the queen mother, but the elder brother found me specially. I think he was under a lot of pressure. After all, the Liao Kingdom is our old enemy of the Song Dynasty. Now that I want to destroy the Liao Kingdom in one battle, the entire pressure falls on the elder brother's shoulders. No one except his husband can share it."

"He is the emperor, and this is his duty. Moreover, the ministers in the court are not just for a good meal. They are going to share the worries for the emperor. He is under great pressure because he can't let go. As long as he can survive this level, no matter how big the matter happens in the future, it will be just a small matter for him, and the emperor's demeanor is like this!" Li Zhang said bluntly.

The attack on the Liao Kingdom this time had been a lot of noise, and even the newspapers were discussing the upcoming national war for half a month. Li Zhang naturally knew it for a long time, but he had never participated. Even if Zhao Zhen asked him to go to the palace to discuss, he refused. As a result, Zhao Zhen still did not give up and actually asked Miaoyuan to test his attitude.

"That's right, but I saw that my elder brother was working hard to attack Liao. According to the eunuch around him, the elder brother had not had a good sleep for several days. When I saw him, his eyes were covered with blood, and even his temples had white hair. It made people feel distressed!" Miao Yuan's eyes turned slightly red at the end. She had depended on Zhao Zhen since she was a child and had the deepest relationship, so she was naturally very sad to see Zhao Zhen tired herself like that.
