retaliate

Chapter 374
Zhou Qin's life is actually very good.

He doesn't care about the little things at home, and he will follow other things, and he will only interfere with things of great importance.

After Zhou Zun returns home, he will take the initiative to tell him about today's important events in court.

In fact, the Zhou family can get all these news, but Zhou Qin likes to hear from his son.

Zhou Zun also never reminded his father that there are experts in the family who specialize in inquiring about news, and he comes to the backyard to report every day.

"...Yang Songcheng is arguing with Prime Minister Zuo today because of water conservancy around Chang'an."

Zhou Qin coughed dryly, which meant to express his opinion.

"Most of the rivers around Chang'an were dammed and intercepted by the nobles to pound wheat flour. However, the people's fields could not be irrigated due to this reduction of flow. There have been many people impeaching this matter over the years, but nothing happened."

Zhou Zun sighed: "Most of the people who built the dam to intercept the river are princes and nobles. Who dares to touch them?"

"By the way, does Ah Ning have a letter?" Zhou Qin asked.

"She sent someone to send some special products from northern Xinjiang, Aye, haven't you received it?"

"The old man doesn't want to leave the room these two days."

"Ayemo wants to be greedy."

Zhou Zun was a little worried, "Ah Ning said that Zitai's governance in Chenzhou was quite smooth, and he had a battle with the three major ministries and Tanzhou. Difficulty."

"It's okay." Zhou Qin felt relieved, "Governance in northern Xinjiang is second. First of all, we must defend the soil so that there is no gap for Northern Liao. He can overcome this difficulty, which shows that he is very talented. Hey! The old man said, Aning How could you have set your sights on such a country boy? It turns out that he has far-sighted eyes!"

Zhou Zun smiled, "A-Ning's life in Lin'an is quite good now. She can come out every day to look at the medicinal materials brought by the prairie merchants, and buy them if they are good. But many people don't take money, and she is very distressed. "

"Hahahaha!"

The father and son burst out laughing.

"How about there?" Zhou Qin pointed in the direction of the palace.

"The prince is claustrophobic in the East Palace, and the emperor can't see anything, but these days, King Yue and King Wei are giving gifts more frequently."

"This is in Yewang East Palace."

"Yes. But King Wei is a bit stubborn."

Zhou Qin nodded, "It is impossible for the emperor to abolish the queen who was born in the Yang family, otherwise he would have already established a noble concubine as the queen. King Wei, who is not a direct son, has inherent deficiencies."

At this time, what is emphasized is a righteous name, the queen's son is naturally the candidate for the prince, and those courtiers will look at them highly.

"A queen without a background, she can't stand firm."

Zhou Zun revealed the mystery in one sentence.

There must be a force behind the queen to support her, otherwise she will not be able to stand firmly.

Concubines are different. Families with big backgrounds will not send their daughters to the palace as concubines.

If you want to do it, be a queen!
It is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. This principle has been used in ancient and modern times.

Zhou Zun suddenly smiled, "Now the East Palace is almost empty, and the princes have planned all kinds of plans for this, and Han Shitou, who is beside the emperor, has attracted much attention."

"If one person attains the Tao, it's nothing more than chickens and dogs ascending to heaven!" Zhou Qin said with some disdain.

"Ayemo must underestimate this person." Zhou Zun said: "The emperor is good at manipulating power, and Han Shitou has been able to stay by his side for these years, and he has been reused, which shows that this person has his strengths."

"It's just a dog!" Zhou Qin didn't like the servant.

……

In the side hall, the teacher is teaching.

King Jing Li Bo sat below, looking listless.

The husband was annoyed when he saw it, and went to the Shangguan to complain later after the lecture was over.

"Then King Jing didn't listen to lectures at all. If His Majesty asks him about his knowledge after a year or so, what should I do?"

"I will report this matter."

This is the emperor's family business, so it was transferred to Han Shitou.

Han Shitou entered the pear garden.

As soon as you enter, you can hear the sound of babbling, and the sound of music is endless.

"Where is Your Majesty?"

Han Shitou asked a servant.

The servant smiled flatteringly, "Your Majesty and Your Majesty said they were going to blow some air."

He pointed to the back, "It's by the pool."

Han Shishi walked over slowly.

The emperor and the imperial concubine stood side by side in the pavilion, looking at the pool in front of them.There were a few white cranes by the pool. The white cranes slowly raised their legs and moved their heads before stepping on them.

"Interesting!" The noble concubine laughed and said, "It looks like a handsome horse. If it was bigger, Erlang, might he be able to ascend while sitting?"

The emperor smiled, "When the time comes, I will ascend with you."

Han Shitou stood behind him without saying a word.

After a long time, the emperor said: "Go back!"

"Okay!" The imperial concubine left obediently.

Only then did Han Shitou approach.

"What's the matter?" The emperor grabbed a handful of fish food from the bowl next to him and threw it into the pool.

Fish, big and small, frantically gathered together, and the water surface was very lively.

A fish even jumped out of the water, bouncing vigorously a few times, as if saluting the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Mr. King Jing came to report. King Jing is quite lazy in reading."

The emperor said casually: "Understood."

He clapped his hands, knocked down the fish food, watched the fish scrambling for food, and said with a smile, "What does this fish do? It's just to eat a full meal, and when it's full, it doesn't care about anything."

The emperor turned around and walked out of the pavilion, "Many times I think I don't care about everything, but the country is in my hands, can I give it up?"

Han Shitou just smiled and didn't answer.

The emperor walked slowly.

"How about the prince?"

"Every time I send food in, I can finish it."

"He has a good appetite."

"Is the East Palace safe?"

"The hearts of the people in the East Palace are fluctuating now, and many people are looking for ways to transfer out of the East Palace."

"One has to have something to do, or else one's thoughts go wild."

The emperor left this inexplicable sentence and left.

Later, King Jing Li Bo was called.

"Meet Ayer."

Li Bo's eyes rolled around, and he looked like a restless child.

The emperor smiled and said, "I heard that you haven't studied hard lately?"

King Jing shook his head, "Aye, I study hard every day, but my husband wants to teach me more. If I refuse, my husband will wrong me!"

Respecting the teacher is the rule, but King Kejing slandered his husband.

The emperor said coldly: "Bold!"

King Jing knelt down, trembling all over, "Aye, don't punish me!"

"Kneel for two hours."

Two servants took King Jing away.

Two hours later, King Jing kept kneeling and was carried to Concubine Ming.

If he is older, he will leave the harem.

"What's going on here?"

After Ming Fei asked about the situation, she complained about King Jing for a while.

Lying on his own bed, King Jing put his hands behind his head, his eyes were wide open.

"If I'm good at studying, I'm afraid I won't get a good result."

"If the prince is as useless as me, how can he be imprisoned in the East Palace?"

"Aniang once said that the prince was unlucky because the power behind him was too strong."

"It would be unlucky for the prince to have a powerful background. Now the East Palace is empty! Even the maids know that King Wei is impossible, and there is only one King Yue left. If someone praises me for being smart and obedient at this time, it is not just Aye who wants to kill me, but King Yue And the queen wants to kill me too."

"So! It's important to save your life."

He closed his eyes and muttered words.

"...those below the emperor who build yan, all the leaders will pay attention to yan..."

If the husband is by his side, he will definitely have a ghostly expression on his face.

This naughty King Jing was actually reciting the lessons he taught during the day.

In the afternoon, the emperor was preparing for dinner, but nothing was arranged for the follow-up.

"Your Majesty, the servants are going out of the palace today to stay overnight."

The emperor nodded, "By the way, your food lover is Jiao Hui, right?"

"Yes." Han Shitou raised his eyes, with embarrassment in his eyes.

The imperial concubine smiled and said, "You're still shy?"

The emperor smiled and said, "He's a human, how can he not be shy? Go!"

Han Shitou resigned.

Several servants saluted outside the door.

After nodding, Han Shitou left.

Behind him, a servant said: "Young Supervisor Han is stern and selfless. If he hadn't had a confrontation with Jiao Hui, it would be as if he was out of this world."

"Yeah! This person has no desire, so he is still a person?"

"That's why! Humans have weaknesses." A servant acted wisely.

"There's something interesting about that."

Han Shitou walked slowly all the way out of the palace.

A man in brocade clothes stopped at the side, someone recognized him, "It's Huang Lin, the son-in-law."

Huang Lin saluted, "I've seen you."

Han Shitou stopped and returned the salute, "I've seen the son-in-law."

Huang Lin smiled and said, "Master, is this home?"

"Yes."

Huang Lin sighed: "The people have all gone home, and the master will leave the palace, which shows the hard work."

Han Shishi just smiled.

Then break up.

Now he has become more and more powerful in the palace, the concubines call him Lord when they see him, and the princess and prince call him A Weng when they see him.

His home was close to the imperial city, and he knocked lightly on the door all the way.

The door opened, and the servant Zhang Liu said happily: "A Lang is back."

Han Shitou nodded.

"Mr. Lang." Jiao Hui came out, and she said with a smile on her plump figure, "I thought Mr. Lang would not come back today, so I asked the kitchen to make less food. Zhang Liu, go to the kitchen and talk about it."

"We can't eat much, so don't bother."

Han Shitou entered the house.

Jiao Hui made him hot tea and asked, "Are there many things to do today?"

"not much."

"That's good."

Jiao Hui was originally a female official in the palace, so she knew many things that she could not inquire about.

After dinner, the two talked about gossip.

At night, Han Shitou got up and said, "Rest!"

The two were separated.

Ever since they became a fake couple, the two have never slept together in the same bed.

Those high-status servants in the palace all have their own counterparts, and some of them have more than one. For this reason, several palace servants are jealous and quarreling.

With anti-food, sleeping at night is a test for the servants.

With a woman lying next to him, the male's inertial thinking should move, right?
But once you move, the anger in your body has no place to dissipate.

So I had no sleep all night, and the next day I was in a trance and full of anger.

Jiao Hui knew this, so it was not surprising.

Lying on the bed, Han Shitou passed through his mind what he saw and heard today.

Get up early the next day.

"Lang Jun."

Jiao Hui can be regarded as virtuous, she used to have a lot of things in the palace, but when she was outside the palace, she transformed into a noble lady and lived a carefree life.

"Breakfast is good." Han Shitou praised.

Jiao Hui said with a smile: "I know that my lord wants to serve His Majesty, so I don't like food with a lot of soup."

This is mutual acquaintance.

After breakfast, Jiao Hui helped him change his clothes.

"Lang Jun, there is something that I have always been curious about."

"What's the matter?"

"Everyone in the palace knows that the crown prince is finished, so why isn't your majesty thinking about setting up another one?" Jiao Hui patted the creases on his back, "It's not that I don't know the rules, but think about it, sir, if you don't set up a crown prince now, Later...Your Majesty is old, do you have the energy to train the prince?"

The so-called learning of the emperor is taught separately between the emperor and the prince.

The emperor's age is not too young. In this era of limited life expectancy, if the emperor dies tomorrow, it can be called a long life.

Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, the emperor should quickly choose a prince for the sake of the country and the country, and teach him carefully.

Han Shitou said lightly: "These things are the emperor's family affairs."

After entering the palace, Han Shitou met King Jing within a short distance.

"Meet Aon."

Salute the king.

"Don't dare." Han Shitou sideways avoided, expressing that he dared not accept the gift.

King Jing smiled and said, "Is Ah Weng going to Aye's place?"

"Yes."

"So, Ah Weng can say something nice to me." King Jing begged, "Just say that I don't want to study."

Han Shitou looked at him, "Your servant will leave."

King Jing watched him go away, and suddenly said with a smile: "It would be great if I could not study?"

Behind him, Jin Yin, the servant, said, "Your Majesty, be careful not to be punished by His Majesty."

King Jing turned his head back, with impatience in his eyes, "If you punish me, punish me, can you still beat me to death? When I grow up, I can go to fief the land."

Jinyin's original name was Jinda. After being sent to King Jing, King Jing thought Jinda was not nice, so he took the name Jinyin.

Jinyin smiled and said: "It's still early! Besides, what can you do if you go to the fief?"

King Jing said proudly: "When I arrive in the fief, I can do whatever I want. I don't need to study, I play every day."

Jinyin smiled.

Back at the residence, Concubine Ming just got up, sitting lazily on the couch in a daze.

The life in the palace is like this, it looks noble, but compared with the common people outside, it is much less lively.

The common people have neighbors, so they can talk about it.

The neighbors of the concubines are all enemies, who dares to talk to the enemies?
"Auntie!"

King Jing hurriedly saluted, "I'm off to study."

"Okay, don't be naughty, and be careful to be punished by you, Aye."

"understood."

King Jing trotted all the way to the school.

Sir has arrived.

"Ahem, sit down, Your Majesty."

Mr. started teaching.

Not long after, King Jing started to stare outside in a daze again.

The gentleman couldn't bear it anymore, he patted the table and said: "If the king is so distracted, your majesty's thunder will come."

Before he came, he had already vented his anger with the Shangguan, and the Shangguan said that he would go to ask His Majesty to see him, and he was going to give King Jing a hard time.

King Jing made a face at him.

The attendant Jin Yin whispered: "Your Majesty, be careful."

King Jing glared at him, "If you talk too much, I'll let you pour Yexiang later."

After one class, Mr. went out.

King Jing took out an oiled paper bag and walked over quietly.He opened the oil-paper bag, poured the contents into the husband's water glass, and stirred the tea with his fingers a few times before snickering back.

Jinyin was stunned, "My lord, what is that?"

King Jing said: "Dry the bird droppings and grind them into powder."

After the husband came back, he drank tea as usual, and looked at King Jing with a little more complacency in his eyes.

"Your Majesty is sending a message, Your Majesty is going to ground your feet and study hard!"

Foot restraint for reading means that you are not allowed to leave the house, and if you cannot complete the task of reading, the restraint will continue forever.

For children, it's almost torture.

King Jing threw out the inkstone in his hand, but his strength was weak, and the inkstone fell to the ground halfway.

The gentleman burst into anger, got up and said, "It's unreasonable!"

The gentleman left angrily.

Jinyin sighed: "Your maidservants go to persuade you."

"roll!"

King Jing sat there, propping his chin with one hand, watching Jinyin go out.

"This is to tell the truth! I have become more and more stubborn today. If Aye punishes me, it means that it is okay. If I don't punish him, then I did the right thing. If I reward you..."

There was a bit more sophistication in those black and white eyes.

"If it is a reward, I will be in danger. I have to live a more stubborn life. The worse the better."

The husband complained angrily.

Jinyin quietly arrived in the Liyuan, please see Han Shitou.

"Your Majesty still doesn't study today, and even put bird feces in your husband's water glass, triumphantly. When he was found out, he hit him with an inkstone."

"understood."

Han Shishi went in.

The emperor just woke up and was in a daze.

"His Majesty."

"Stone!"

"Yes. Your Majesty, someone close to King Jing came to report, but King Jing still refused to study, and even put bird feces in the gentleman's teacup. After the gentleman got annoyed, King Jing threw the inkstone at him."

The emperor was stunned, and there was a smile in his eyes, "Five days of restraint."

"Yes."

"also."

Han Shitou stopped and stood up.

The emperor said: "Reward the concubine Ming [-] yuan."

"Yes."

Han Shitou went out to find gold and silver, "Go back and watch."

"Yes."

Jinyin went back, and the servant came soon after.

"Five days of ban."

King Jing was startled, and returned to Concubine Ming obediently.

Concubine Ming complained again.

King Jing was in a daze in his room.

"Why?"

"Do you really want me to make progress?"

King Jing scratched his head, puzzled.

"Concubine Ming, someone is coming from His Majesty's side."

A team of servants came in.

"Your Majesty ordered that Concubine Ming be rewarded fifty thousand dollars."

If Concubine Ming hadn't had a prince, she would have been marginalized long ago.

But even so, the emperor may not have been here for a long time, so it is not an exaggeration to say that there are few cars and horses in front of the gate.

As for rewards, there were no other rewards except for the routine.

But today the emperor actually smoked...

Sins, sins, concubines are not intentional.

Concubine Ming felt that the emperor thought of her kindness, and couldn't help Xiafei's cheeks.

Fifty thousand dollars!

Concubine Ming happily watched the money move in.

"Your Majesty!"

After the person left, Concubine Ming choked up, and began to recall all kinds of friendship with the emperor back then.

Inside, King Jing tilted his head and looked at the void.

grin.

"It turns out that the worse the better!"
