The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1226 Meet Li Goudan
Zhao Dongting led the crowd into the palace.

The Flying Dragon Army, the Flying Sky Army and the imperial palace guards returned to the barracks.

The trip to Lin'an was completely over.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the palace, they saw Chen Wenlong, Chen Jianghan and others who were staying in Changsha were already waiting at the gate of the palace.

As soon as Zhao Dongting, Le Chan and the others arrived, they hurried up to greet them and saluted Zhao Dongting and the others.

Zhao Dongting waved Chen Wenlong and the others to get up, walked directly in front of Chen Wenlong, and asked, "Deputy Minister of State, can the matter of food and grass be properly arranged?"

Chen Wenlong replied: "Going back to the emperor, the defenders from all over the country have transported the grain and grass in the grain storage depots to Jingxi South Road and Tongchuanfu Road respectively."

Zhao Dongting nodded lightly, and said with a smile: "If that's the case, I'm really relieved."

He was not worried that the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty would not be able to defeat those soldiers of Xixia. He was only worried about internal problems, such as insufficient food and grass.

And Chen Wenlong is a cautious person, since even he said such a thing, presumably there would be no problem with food and grass.

As for whether any accidents will happen during the transportation of grain and grass, Zhao Dongting is also not worried about this.

The country is peaceful and the people are safe in the Song Dynasty, even in Tongchuanfu Road, Dali Road and other places, there are no riots.Thinking about it, no one would dare to easily offend the tiger whiskers of the Song army.

Everything is easy to do when the people want it.

Afterwards, Zhao Dongting led his ministers to the palace.

In the palace hall, he just explained a few more words to people like Yu Feihang and Zhong Jian, and then roughly asked about the current situation in various parts of the Song Dynasty, and then let the officials retreat.

During the period when he was not in Changsha, nothing major happened in Song Dynasty.Only the imperial examination, only the imperial examination, with Chen Wenlong presiding over it, it is impossible for any trouble to happen.

All the ministers filed out.

Only Chen Wenlong and Chen Jianghan left Zhao Dongting in the hall.

Zhao Dongting took the two of them to the Imperial Garden. On the way, he asked Chen Wenlong, "How is the Li Enzhao mentioned in your letter to me?"

This matter was specifically mentioned by Chen Wenlong in his heart, so he always kept it in mind.

Chen Wenlong heard the words and replied: "According to your majesty, I have not arranged any official position for him after discussing with the officials. He and his father planned to go home. I said that the majesty will decide upon your return. His affairs left him in the minister's house. Now, he and his father are still living in the minister's mansion."

Zhao Dongting looked at Chen Wenlong's eyes, and smiled lightly: "The Deputy State Minister is actually willing to keep him at home. It seems that you also like this Li Zhao'en very much?"

Chen Wenlong didn't hide it, and said: "This son is really good. These days he lives in the mansion of the minister, and the minister has observed him a lot. His talent can be said to be rare in ancient and modern times. I borrowed it from the Library Pavilion. Show him books on various subjects, he can remember them with a photographic memory, and can comprehend by analogy. What's more, this son has a pure heart. At his age, he has been able to go to high school, which is considered the best in Changsha today. He is a well-known scholar. If he wants to, not to mention fame, but wealth can be said to be at his fingertips. And after this son lived in the mansion of the minister, he just concentrates on studying and doesn't care about these things at all."

"Oh?"

Zhao Dongting was slightly surprised and said: "That is really rare. Not only him, but his father is also rare."

He could not help but sigh softly, "I promote the new imperial examination system to select many talents for the court, but there are also many people who study for fame and fortune..."

Chen Wenlong only chuckled, "This is human nature, and it's not something we can change."

Chen Jianghan also said beside him: "Now that the Song Dynasty is out of the predicament, it is understandable for them to think so. I think that as long as they don't commit crimes and do some practical things for the people, the emperor doesn't have to worry too much."

Zhao Dongting just nodded when he heard the words.

Then he looked at Chen Jianghan and said, "Chen Shangshu, I also have something to explain to you."

Chen Jianghan saluted and said, "Please show me, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Dongting said: "I went to Lin'an Mansion on this trip, and passed by Panyang Lake twice. I plan to fill the lake in Panyang Lake to build an island in the center of the lake. See if the Finance Department can allocate some money to Jiangnan West Road. I have already Hand over this matter to Wang Yinglin's transshipment envoy."

"This……"

Chen Jianghan was quite surprised, "I have the courage to ask the emperor why he suddenly wanted to build an island in the middle of the lake in Panyang Lake?"

With the craftsmanship of this era, it is definitely not an easy task to build an island in the middle of the lake.It is inevitable to waste money and waste money.

Zhao Dongting sighed softly, and said, "I have my own reasons. You just need to tell me whether the finance department can allocate enough money now."

Regarding Kong Qiangu's resignation, he was not yet mentally prepared to make it public.

Especially now that Song Dynasty and Xixia are about to start a war. At such a juncture, Zhao Dongting is absolutely unwilling to cause any disturbances in the country because of the empty age.

Therefore, even if only Chen Wenlong and Chen Jianghan were in front of him at this time, he was unwilling to say this clearly.

Chen Jianghan pondered slightly, "Now that we are going to start a war with Xixia, the finance department will have to allocate a lot of pensions afterwards, and the transportation of food and grass for the various armies will also cost a lot of money. If it is not inevitable to build the island in the middle of the lake, I would like to ask the emperor to take it back." Fate!"

He looked at Zhao Dongting with a strange look.

I'm afraid, I'm also wondering if the emperor is planning to start greedy for pleasure now.

This is definitely not a good thing for Da Song.

Fortunately, Zhao Dongting just raised his eyebrows when he heard his words, and said: "Then let's discuss this matter after the war is over!"

He was really not that anxious to build the island in the middle of the lake.

Even after the news of Kong Qiangu's resignation was made public, it would not be too late to rebuild the island in the middle of the lake.

Chen Jianghan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Zhao Dongting entrusted him with full financial power, if Zhao Dongting insisted on asking him to allocate funds, he obviously still had no choice.

Master of Heaven and Earth.

In this era, apart from heaven and earth, the emperor is the biggest.

This kind of thinking is also rooted in the hearts of old officials like Chen Jianghan.

Having said these two things, Zhao Dongting had nothing else to say to Chen Wenlong and Chen Jianghan.

After wandering around in the imperial garden for more than ten minutes, Zhao Dongting left the imperial garden with the two of them.

Chen Jianghan went to the government office of the Ministry of Finance.

Zhao Dongting went back to the bedroom, but asked Chen Wenlong to wait for him in the main hall.

At this time, he had just returned to Changsha, and he didn't have many political affairs to deal with, but he also wanted to meet the kind of young genius whom Chen Wenlong favored so much.

As soon as he returned to the palace courtyard, Zhao Dongting saw a lively scene.

Le Chan, Le Wu and other women are all in the courtyard, and Li Xiushu and Xie Daoqing are also there.

Even Turandot was there.

And she was still holding Li Zanxiao in her arms at this time.

This made Zhao Dongting quite depressed.

He didn't think that Turandot could get closer to Li Zouxiao because he was not in Changsha.

After changing into regular clothes in the bedroom, Zhao Dongting went back to the main hall.

Then, he followed Chen Wenlong and left the palace for the Chen Mansion.

On the way, Chen Wenlong asked curiously: "The emperor went to see Li Zhao'en, why did he change into ordinary clothes?"

Zhao Dongting just smiled and said, "If I'm wearing an imperial robe, then it's meaningless. Besides, can I go to your house to meet him in person?"

Chen Wenlong was slightly taken aback, then laughed, "It's the old minister who is confused."

If Zhao Dongting appeared as the emperor, then Li Zhao'en could only have an audience with him in the palace.

And he also understood that the emperor was like this, probably because he wanted to observe Li Zhao'en.

Young genius.

This is a double-edged sword.

If it is used well, with Li Zhaoen's talent, he may not be able to become a mainstay minister in the Song Dynasty in the future.

And if Li Zhao'en's mind is not right, it may also become the scourge of Song Dynasty.

This matter may seem trivial, but in fact, it is really not that easy.

This may affect Zhao Dongting's future appointment policy for all young officials.

After a while, the two arrived at the Chen Mansion.

Chen Wenlong led Zhao Dongting straight to the courtyard where Li Goudan and his son lived.

As soon as I arrived outside the courtyard, I could hear the sound of reading aloud inside.

Chen Wenlong looked at Zhao Dongting with a smile, and said, "Your Majesty, is this son not bad?"

Zhao Dongting nodded, "It's really rare to be able to work so hard without being proud and slack in high school at a young age."

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Wenlong's eyes, but something suddenly arose in his heart.
