"So, the Empress Dowager and the Grand Preceptor have already agreed to give in?”Zhao Zhen said in shock when he heard the news brought by Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan nodded." That's right. The Grand Preceptor has already agreed to support Imperial Brother's proposal to set up a royal army!"”
"No, with Grand Preceptor Pang's foresight, how could he agree to your request so easily? Brother Xuan, did you use some special method?”Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Xuan suspiciously and said softly.
Zhao Xuan rubbed his nose and said helplessly,"I killed Guo Huai in front of them!”
"What?"
"There was no other way. The Empress Dowager and Grand Preceptor Pang thought that I wouldn't dare to do anything to them. They denied it and refused to cooperate, so I ordered people to kill Guo Huai.”Zhao Xuan said indifferently.
It was impossible for Zhao Zhen to know the truth.
After ten years of rebirth, no one knew how powerful Zhao Xuan was, especially when he had the Life-Death Notes, a super cultivation technique that specialized in controlling people.
Hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment before sighing,""Forget it. Zhen can understand your difficulties. It is difficult to make the Empress Dowager and Grand Preceptor give in!”
"In that case, what should I do next?”Zhao Zhen asked Zhao Xuan.
At this moment, Zhao Zhen's face was filled with excitement. After being the Emperor for decades, he was finally able to personally control the government. To him, there was an inexplicable excitement.
"Imperial brother, whether it's to reform the government or to train a new army, there's only one thing you need to do now.”Zhao Xuan said indifferently.
Zhao Zhen revealed a trace of doubt on his face as he looked at Zhao Xuan in surprise."What is it?"
"To promote officials and build your own team! Royal brother, do you remember the goal we set for the ten-year trial? I think Imperial Brother should have a group of officials that can be put in an important position now!”Zhao Xuan said with a smile.
Zhao Zhen nodded when he heard this." That's right. Your words have reminded me that I have indeed paid attention to many talents over the years. However, in the past, the important positions in the court were occupied by the Grand Preceptor and the others, so I could not promote them. Now, I can take this opportunity to promote a group of people!”
Zhao Zhen knew very well that if he wanted to create something new, he would not be able to do it without his trusted officials.
With policies, there had to be executors in order to perfectly implement his new ideas.
Zhao Xuan also knew very well that the famous officials of the Northern Song Dynasty, excluding Wang Anshi, were all from the Renzong Dynasty.
Compared to the Shenzong Dynasty, which was reformed by Wang Anshi, the Renzong Dynasty was actually the best time to revive.
In fact, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, and the others could also be said to be officials of the Renzong Dynasty. However, at that time, their status was too low, and most of them had just entered the officialdom.
At the same time, Zhao Xuan knew that he couldn't do everything himself. Therefore, he had used various methods to display some talents in front of Zhao Zhen.
For example, Fan Zhongyan, from the moment he stepped into the officialdom, his name was displayed in front of Zhao Zhen by a eunuch.
In fact, Zhao Xuan had no connection with Fan Zhongyan. He had only secretly pushed some famous officials in front of Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Xuan's goal was to plant the Great Song's flag all over the world, and during this period, he needed a stable and discerning rear.
Zhao Zhen excitedly began to plan which people he should bring into the capital. Meanwhile, Zhao Xuan informed Zhao Zhen and went home.
There were some things that he could not participate in now.
When they returned to the residence of the Eight Virtuous Princes, Ling Ri and the others were already waiting there.
Zhao Xuan knew why they were here, so he didn't waste time and removed the Life Death Notes on them.
"What plans do you have next? I've said it before, I can help you change your household register, whether it's Kansai or Jiangnan.”Zhao Xuan asked with a smile after removing the Life Death Notes from their bodies.
Ling Ri and the others looked at each other and said in unison,""We want to stay in the prince's mansion to serve. I wonder if the prince is willing to take us in? Although we are old bones, we have some skills. We are still confident in guarding the house.”
In fact, whether they went to Jiangnan or Kansai, it might not be the safest place. The safest place was in the residences of the Eight Virtuous Princes.
As long as Zhao Xuan was alive, they could rest easy.
As for the Seven Eagles of Chongqing, after witnessing Zhao Xuan's methods in Chongqing Hall, they realized that this young man was decisive, ruthless, and flawless.
Such a huge change had happened in Chongqing Hall, but not a single word had spread throughout the entire Bianjing City. Even the Imperial City Guards did not make any unusual movements.
Either the Emperor had secretly ordered all of this, or Zhao Xuan's power was enough to wipe out all of this.
No one knew better than them how much control the Life-Death Notes had over a person.
Therefore, they chose to join Zhao Xuan without any hesitation. Furthermore, Ling Chuchu, the daughter of Ling Ri, was still loyal to Zhao Xuan.
"Since everyone has the intention, it's naturally very good. Later, I'll get Uncle An to arrange for an identity for everyone.”
As the Prince of Great Song, the Eight Virtuous Princes 'Residence had official positions, which were not much different from the imperial guards.
Zhao Xuan then brought his men to Uncle An's place and arranged for Ling Ri and the others to be with him. Then, he learned from Uncle An that the Eight Virtuous Kings were looking for him.
"Father, why are you looking for me?”Zhao Xuan came to the room of the Eight Virtuous Kings and asked him respectfully.
"It just so happens that there is something I want to tell you. Back then, father arranged a marriage for you. Now, there is a letter from the other side saying that they are returning to Bian Capital. This time, you will replace father to welcome them and meet your future wife!”The Eight Virtuous Kings said lightly.
Zhao Xuan was speechless when he heard this. He thought that he could escape the pain of an arranged marriage, but he didn't expect it to still happen.
"May I know which family's daughter Father has chosen?" Zhao Xuan asked calmly.
Zhao Xuan was shocked when he heard that!
