Chapter 174 Monarch Offline System

The movie Zhao Zhen and his friends watched this time was "The Moon Walks Alone".

It's a pity that "Man Jiang Hong" was not downloaded.

Because Zhao Jun traveled through time at the end of March, and there was no resource for "Man Jiang Hong" online at that time.

In addition, there was a lot of criticism about "Man Jiang Hong" online, saying that most of them were bad movies. Zhao Jun felt that since it was a bad movie, he had no desire to watch it.

It's a pity that if they had known that they would travel through time to the Song Dynasty, whether it was "The Great Song Dynasty Judge", "Young Justice Bao", or "Man Jiang Hong", even if it was a pirated version, they would have downloaded it.

The special effects of "The Moon Walks Alone" were also well done, especially the environment on the moon, which stunned Zhao Zhen and others who had never seen the world, and the big scenes made them speechless. They held their breath and watched in front of the computer.

The two-hour viewing time passed quickly, and everyone was still unsatisfied. They sat there and didn't speak for a long time, as if they were savoring it.

It was not until more than a minute later that Zhao Zhen took a sip of tea and moistened his dry lips to calm his excitement. Then he said, "I don't understand it, but I am just shocked."

"I don't understand it either, but it looks good."

"It really looks good."

"People in later generations went to the moon."

"There is no Chang'e or Wu Gang on the moon, only such dead silence."

"Hasn't Hanlong told us the truth about the universe? The earth we live on may be the only planet with life in the universe."

"I don't know why, but when I see the world outside the universe, I don't feel magnificent. When I think that the entire universe is so vast, and humans are just a tiny dot in it, I just feel lonely and desolate."

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, Lu Yijian and others opened their mouths. They happened to watch two science fiction movies. "The Wandering Earth 2" did not describe outer space much, and the main scenes were still on the ground. They could only feel the sense of future technology.

Most of the scenes in "The Moon Alone" are on the moon, and there are many descriptions of the construction of the moon, the environment of the moon, and the interior of the space station, which naturally gave them a different feeling.

One is the shock of future technology. The other is the exploration of the universe, especially the relationship between the earth and the moon.

"How do you think this one compares to The Wandering Earth?"

Yan Shu thought for a while and asked, "Which one is better?"

"The Wandering Earth is good, very good."

"This one is also very good."

"I think The Wandering Earth is better."

"Why don't you watch The Wandering Earth again, so that you can make a comparison?"

Lv Yijian noticed Yan Shu's conspiracy and immediately took over the conversation and said, "Only by comparison can you feel the difference."

"Yeah."

Zhao Zhen nodded in thought and was about to agree. Wang Shouzhong knocked on the door outside, so he said, "What's the matter?"

Wang Shouzhong pushed the door open, bent over and smiled flatteringly, "Sir, it's time for lunch. In addition, many officials in the Political System Council are also asking when several ministers will go. Some government affairs have been accumulated."

Now the Political System Council has overall power. Except for military affairs, national government affairs and major events of various departments must be reported to the Political System Council every day, and the Political System Council will give guidance and planning.

So now the Political System Institute is still very busy every day. All matters, big and small, must be collected and then signed by the prime ministers of the Political System Institute before they can be implemented.

Hearing Wang Shouzhong's words, Zhao Zhen said regretfully: "Since there are so many government affairs, let's do it this way today. Why don't you have lunch here first and deal with government affairs in the afternoon."

"Yes."

Lü Yijian and others were also very sorry.

Originally, the officials were tricked, and they could watch "The Wandering Earth" again.

As a result, an unexpected thing happened.

But there was no way. In the past, when the Political Affairs Hall was in place, the prime ministers had serious power divisions, and they didn't have so many things to manage, so it didn't matter if they slacked off occasionally.

Now they really can't be separated. If it weren't for the higher efficiency of officials, the various departments below helped them to bear most of the implementation, and they only needed to make decisions, they would be exhausted.

At that moment, everyone dispersed and had lunch together in the outer hall of Chongde Hall, and Lü Yijian and others went to work.

Only Zhao Zhen returned to the study.

Now the laptop belongs to him alone. The solar charging panel is placed in the window to charge in the sun. There are more than 20 guards guarding it. No one can touch the laptop except him.

I really enjoyed watching this movie. I forgot about reading study materials and understanding popular science knowledge.

Movies are still interesting.

Zhao Zhen sat behind the desk, looking at a folder full of more than 200G movies, full of desire to explore.

Zhao Jun bought this computer in 2022 and spent more than 8,000.

Laptops at this time are already quite advanced. The C drive is a 512G solid-state hard drive, the D drive is a 2TB mechanical hard drive, the battery is 97 watt-hours, 16G installed memory, and the RTX3060-8G graphics card can basically play with general large-scale 3A.

There are three sub-folders in the entertainment folder, marked with novels, music and movies. Except for the movie folder that takes up more memory, the novels and music add up to only 3G.

Zhao Zhen studied it and originally wanted to watch another movie, but he felt that it was not good to eat alone.

After all, many movies show future life, technology, military, etc. You will gain more by watching them with the prime ministers, and you can also listen to their opinions.

If you watch it alone, you can at most feel the charm of later generations of movies. Watching it together may improve your ability to govern the country.

So after hesitating for a while, Zhao Zhen finally did not continue watching the movie, but clicked on the novel folder.

There are countless novels in it, divided into various types of classics, including foreign masterpieces, domestic classics, "The Three-Body Problem", "A Song of Ice and Fire", "Fortress Besieged", etc. There is a folder called Qidian.com.

Zhao Zhen casually opened the Qidian.com folder, and then casually selected a novel called "The Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms", reading it with relish.

The plot inside is full of ups and downs and makes you want to stop watching it.

Zhao Zhen was immersed in the study all afternoon and could not get out. During this period, Empress Cao and Zhang Meiren came to see him.

But Zhao Zhen's mind was obviously no longer on them. He basically said a few casual words and pretended to care about their health. He even refused to accompany them for a walk in the back garden. He just said that state affairs were busy and he had to go back to deal with them, and then started. Slip away.

Back in the study room of Chongde Hall, Zhao Zhen had no intention of reviewing the memorials and plunged into the world of novels. Until the notebook battery alarm sounded, I was still not satisfied, so I used the solar charging panel to continue charging.

The result is that today's government affairs are completely unhandled.

In the evening, Master Lu, Master Wang, and Master Yan, who had been busy all day, came to Chongde Hall carrying today's gifts.

Although the Constitutional Yuan has sole power, it is actually a measure to increase the imperial power.

Because it was impossible for Zhao Zhen to completely let go of an institution that could evacuate the imperial power, the Constitutional Yuan was structured from the very beginning to be an institution led by the emperor and overseeing all government affairs in the country except for the military.

The government affairs handled by the prime ministers every day were not given instructions immediately after reviewing them. Instead, they were brought back to the back garden, where Zhao Zhen presided over a meeting, and everyone discussed and decided together.

Although basically Zhao Zhen would immediately agree to anything Zhao Jun confirmed, and then put his seal and signature on it, so this meeting was no different from being in vain.

But the form is still indispensable.

If there was no such small meeting in the back garden, the imperial power would be emptied out. With this small meeting, it is centralization.

The two are completely different.

When Lu Yijian and the others entered Chongde Hall carrying the memorial, Zhao Zhen had already replaced the novel with study materials.

He had just heard Wang Shouzhong reporting to Prime Minister Lu and the others that they were here, so he could only reluctantly turn off the novel reader and click on a document about popular science in natural sciences.

"Official!"

Everyone came to the hall and saluted Zhao Zhen.

"Um."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "What's the matter?"

Lu Yijian was confused, and then said: "Guanjia, the reply of Zhazi submitted yesterday, and this is the Zhazi that came up today."

"Forehead"

Zhao Zhen was embarrassed for a moment and could only say: "Since you are here, I can sit back and relax, you can make the decision."

Yan Shu asked: "Didn't the officials approve yesterday's letter?"

"this"

Zhao Zhen was speechless for a moment.

Wang Zeng said dissatisfiedly: "The officials, Han Long left in the morning, and the officials slacked off in the afternoon. This is not a good thing."

Zhao Zhen quickly found an excuse and said: "I am not slacking off, but I am looking at the information given by Da Sun. Take a look at it, these are good things, and looking at them is beneficial to the growth of intelligence."

"oh?"

Everyone came over and saw that Zhao Zhen was reading popular science documents.

Song Shou wondered: "Do the officials understand?"

They can't understand it anyway.

Zhao Zhen was even more speechless. The popular science content in this document talked about the relationship between the ocean, water and humans.

The first sentence in it is that water is the main component of all living things, whether they are giants or microorganisms. For example, the body of a fungus is 80% water.

Of course they know what water is, but who knows what fungus is?

So Zhao Zhenqi said: "I can't understand it, but that doesn't stop me from studying hard. Even if I don't understand it for the time being, at least I have learned it. I will ask my grandson later."

"Is that so?"

Everyone was suspicious.

But since Zhao Zhen explained it like this, it was hard for them to say anything.

Lu Yijian said: "As for yesterday's papers, Han Long has already seen and approved them, so it doesn't matter. Today's papers, we still need to ask the officials to take a good look at them."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Zhao Zhen nodded repeatedly and said, "Put Zazi down."

Everyone put things on the table.

Yan Shu winked at Lu Yijian, and Lu Yijian said understandingly: "Ahem. Officials, according to the past, we should go to the Guanjia Palace Council now."

"Well"

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "Forget it for today, the queen and Zhang Meiren are in the back garden now. You also know that for the daily meeting, I do not allow the concubines of the harem to go to the back garden. The palace is such a big place, If they can't go to the back garden, they can only stay in the palace. Now that the eldest grandson has left the capital, it would be good for them to have a place to walk around. "

"That's it."

Lu Yijian asked tentatively: "What about changing it to Chongde Hall?"

"good."

Wang Zeng immediately said: "Let's discuss things in Chongde Hall today. By the way, we haven't found out whether "The Wandering Earth" or "Walking on the Moon" is better this morning. How about watching "The Wandering Earth" again?"

"No, I must not!"

Zhao Zhen found an opportunity and immediately said righteously: "Grandson has just left Bianliang, and you are so obsessed with playing with things and only want to watch movies every day. How can this be? We should make achievements, otherwise when Grandson comes back, we will not achieve anything and only make Grandson unhappy."

"Yes"

The prime ministers were helpless.

They also wanted to watch a movie.

But Zhao Zhen's words seemed to be right. Zhao Jun had just left Beijing and they didn't deal with government affairs. They wanted to watch movies every day. When Zhao Jun came back, wouldn't they be scolded?

So one by one they had to give up.

Song Shou said: "Then let's discuss politics today."

Since we can't watch movies, let's talk about government affairs honestly.

However, Zhao Zhen hesitated again.

He just wanted to send everyone away now. The novel was at a critical moment.

The protagonist Shen Chen went to Xudu three times, killed Cao thieves, welcomed the first lord Liu Bei, and dominated Jingzhou. He was watching the plot of the internal changes in Jingzhou, which made people unable to stop.

How could you abandon Shen Chen at this critical moment?

"Well"

Zhao Zhen looked around and said with a little guilt: "I thought today's meeting would be over."

"Why?"

Everyone was puzzled.

"I thought that although my grandson left Beijing, I not only have to worry about his safety, but also the health of the two princes."

Zhao Zhen lied without thinking, and lied with his eyes open: "So I plan to go to the back garden to accompany the queen and Zhang Meiren later, so that they don't worry about it. Let's talk about the political affairs tomorrow."

"Uh"

Everyone looked at each other.

This reason is very reasonable. Although old foxes such as Lu Yijian have noticed something wrong, they can't find a reason to refute it.

Because the prince is the foundation of the country.

Zhao Jun said that Zhao Zhen had no children in history, which seriously shook the foundation of the country.

Now that Queen Cao and Zhang Meiren are finally pregnant, it is natural to focus on the foundation of the country, and it is not impossible to put state affairs aside for a while.

So everyone had to agree: "Yes."

"I've been very worried about my grandson and the two princes these days. I still need you to take care of the government affairs."

Zhao Zhen pretended to turn off the computer, closed the notebook, stood up and said: "Okay, everyone, take yesterday's notes back. These matters are all handed over to you. I believe that even if my grandson is not here, you can do these things well."

"Yes."

Lv Yijian and others had no choice but to take the notes that they had not reviewed yesterday and leave.

Fortunately, Zhao Jun had reviewed these notes, and there were rules for what to do. Even if Zhao Jun was not here, Lv Yijian and others could handle normal state affairs with ease, so there would be no problems.

It's just that Zhao Zhen doesn't care about things now, which makes people a little headache. But thinking that it's okay if it's not handled today. People are not made of iron, and it's normal to rest for a day or two.

However, what Lv Yijian and others didn't know was that as soon as they left, Zhao Zhen immediately returned to the study room in Chongde Hall, opened his laptop, and read it with relish.

And it took several days.

The government affairs were completely ignored, and all the national affairs were handled by the Political System Council.

Every time Lu Yijian and others came, they would shirk their responsibilities with various reasons, and then hand over the government affairs to the officials.

If Zhao Jun had not reformed the official system and brought order to the originally chaotic officialdom, I am afraid that with the monarch offline, the whole Song Dynasty would have been in chaos.
