The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 15 Rao Yang Yidong
After contemplating for a long time, Concubine Yang Shu didn't speak.This moment is really difficult for her to choose.

In the end, she said: "Yes, you can take charge if you want. However, my mother can't just announce that you will be in charge."

Zhao Dongting suddenly asked strangely: "Why?"

Concubine Yang Shu is now in power in the court.

Concubine Yang Shu didn't answer, she just said: "Do you know why you became like this, completely lost the memory of the past."

Zhao Dongting keenly sensed something was wrong, and deliberately asked, "Why?"

Since Concubine Yang Shu said this, she naturally did not intend to keep the matter secret, and said: "You are suffering from the disease of twin souls. You have had two souls since you were born. The soul is completely different... But in fact, you are still the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and you are the son of your mother."

Zhao Dongting was stunned at first, and then he was pleasantly surprised. Hearing Concubine Yang Shu's meaning, maybe he thinks I have a split personality?

At this moment, he also understood why Concubine Yang Shu's attitude towards him suddenly became gentle and kind again.

For Zhao Dongting, this is naturally a great joy.Concubine Yang Shu only thinks that he is still Zhao, so if he wants to be in power, he will not face resistance from the court and Concubine Yang Shu.Moreover, there is no longer any danger to life.

Forcibly suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Zhao Dongting said: "If that's the case, why doesn't mother let me be in power?"

Concubine Yang Shu could only tell Zhao Dongting the plan she had discussed with Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie and other ministers.

Zhao Dongting nodded lightly after hearing this, and said in his heart: "I never thought that ancient people had so many fancy intestines."

Concubine Yang Shu said: "It's my mother who said that you can't be allowed to be in charge like this, because my mother can't explain it to the ministers."

As she said that, her face was full of tenderness, and she stretched out her hand to stroke Zhao Dongting's head, "You are my mother's child, how can my mother not follow your wishes?"

Zhao Dongting's head was touched, and he felt a little weird again, but he believed that Concubine Yang Shu's words were not lying.Because it should be very difficult for Concubine Yang Shu to find a reason for split personality, and, in a short period of time, she has thought about these things thoroughly, unless she is a monster or something.

If Concubine Yang Shu really had such a city, then Zhao Dongting would lose willingly.

Furthermore, Zhao Dongting felt that even if Concubine Yang Shu lied to him and wanted to appease him first, and he held the handle of her affair with Yang Yidong in his own hand, it might not mean that he would not have a chance to stand up.

At that moment, Zhao Dongting said: "Then mother thinks what should I do so that the ministers will also recognize that the child is in charge of the government."

Concubine Yang Shu smiled wryly: "You just made my mother flustered, and I couldn't think of any solution for a while."

Zhao Dongting was satisfied with what he had gained from this trip, so he didn't ask any more questions, and said: "Then mother should rest early, and the child will go back to the bedroom and think slowly."

After saying that, he saluted Concubine Yang Shu and planned to leave.

"Yes."

Concubine Yang Shu suddenly called him to stop, hesitant to speak.

Zhao Dongting asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Concubine Yang Shu said: "What Wei Niang told you...you can't let those ministers know."

Zhao Dongting smiled lightly and said, "Mother, don't worry, I know this in my heart."

Concubine Yang Shu showed a bit of guilt on her face, and said: "Also... can you not make things difficult for Mr. Yang?"

Zhao Dongting thought to himself, what she really wanted to say was probably the last sentence, and asked: "Mother really likes Mr. Yang?"

Concubine Yang Shu blushed, "Since fleeing Lin'an, he has sacrificed his life several times to save my life, I..."

She was really ashamed to say the rest of the words.

Hearing this, Zhao Dongting already knew what she meant, and said with a light smile, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for Mr. Yang."

Only then did Concubine Yang Shu feel completely relieved, lowered her head slightly, and did not speak again.Telling her children such things only made her ashamed.

Zhao Dongting walked out of the room, while Li Yuanxiu, Yinger and Yang Yidong were still outside.

Seeing him coming out, Yang Yidong stared at him immediately, it seemed that he was going to violently kill someone at any time.

Zhao Dongting glanced at him and said, "Master Yang came with me, I have something to say to you."

Then he went to the corner of this small courtyard.

Yang Yidong followed, his eyes still fixed on Zhao Dongting, "What is the emperor's order?"

Zhao Dongting asked softly: "Do you really like my mother?"

"This!"

Yang Yidong's eyes widened.

Zhao Dongting said again in a soft voice: "Don't worry, I'm not such a person who sticks to the law. My mother is lonely and helpless, so it's good to have someone to rely on."

Yang Yidong was full of disbelief, "You know everything, Your Majesty?"

"Why do you think I came here in such a hurry?"

Zhao Dongting looked at Concubine Yang Shu's room again, and said, "You haven't answered my question yet!"

Although Yang Yidong's voice was soft, his words were sincere, "I am willing to die for the Empress Dowager."

"it is good……"

Zhao Dongting said: "It's not in vain for the Queen Mother to let me let you go."

Yang Yidong bowed slightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I... I am dead."

Zhao Dongting chuckled when he heard this, "Million death? Why are you dying?"

Yang Yidong's face was full of shame, "The minister and the queen mother can't help themselves, if they do such a scandalous thing, they deserve death."

Zhao Dongting said, "That's all? What else?"

Yang Yidong's complexion changed drastically, and he was instantly pale as paper, with his mouth open and unable to speak.

"Tell me, why do you want to harm me?" Zhao Dongting said softly.

Yang Yidong smiled wryly, "How did the emperor see it?"

Zhao Dongting said: "You forced Yang Wanli to death with your words, of course I can see that something is wrong. But I am very curious, since you have such a deep relationship with the Queen Mother, why do you want to kill me?"

Yang Yidong seemed to be indifferent to life and death, and said: "The imperial court is at stake. I wanted to take the queen mother away and find a place to live in seclusion, but the queen mother can't worry about you, the emperor. Therefore, the guilty minister had no choice but to make this terrible plan, hoping that the queen mother can leave with the minister. So as not to die in the chaos in the future."

Zhao Dongting was slightly awe-inspiring when he heard this.This person really has deep affection for the queen mother, but his heart is really hard enough.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Dongting said: "Then you can do it yourself, if you dare to show any disrespect to the queen mother, I will not spare your life."

Turn around and leave.

Yang Yidong exclaimed, "Your Majesty...you won't kill me?"

Zhao Dongting stopped, without turning his head, and said in an almost inaudible voice: "You deserve to die, but I don't want to make the queen mother sad."

Then drift away.

Yang Yidong looked at Zhao Dongting's back, and felt that the child who had not yet grown up in front of him was as tall as a mountain. He knelt down and kowtowed and shouted loudly: "Holy Lord Long En, I must serve the Song Dynasty, the Queen Mother and the Emperor." Forget life."

At this time, he was completely convinced by Zhao Dongting, and he also had some hopes for the Southern Song court in his heart.

Although the thieves in the Yuan Dynasty were strong, with such a sage in the Southern Song Dynasty, they might not perish.

Zhao Dongting just turned a deaf ear and walked up to Li Yuanxiu and Yinger, "Let's go back."

On the way, Yinger and Li Yuanxiu didn't ask any questions.

Zhao Dongting couldn't help but said, "Aren't Ying'er and Eunuch not curious about what I said to the Queen Mother and Master Yang?"

Yinger didn't answer.Li Yuanxiu said: "The old slave is old and only wants to serve the emperor."

Zhao Dongting sighed softly: "If my civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty of the Southern Song Dynasty were as good as the two of you, then it would be fine..."

At this time, the ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty were at odds, and the morale of the army was lax.Although Zhao Dongting is in sight, his heart is still full of worries.

When he returned to his bedroom, he didn't have any intention of practicing kung fu, so he was meditating by the incense burner on how to subdue the ministers and be in charge of the government in a legitimate way.

He likes the sandalwood scent wafting from the incense burner.

So the past few days.

Concubine Yang Shu came to visit Zhao Dongting every day, asking about her health, which made Zhao Dongting feel warmer.

He hasn't been idle for the past few days, apart from practicing kung fu, he has plunged headlong into the weapons workshop.

Before the Southern Song Dynasty, there were special workshops responsible for making bows, crossbows, weapons, armor, etc. Although they fled to Quzhou Island today, they also brought many skilled craftsmen, so there is still a small weapon workshop.

Zhao Dongting is not interested in anything else for the time being, but he is quite interested in the bronze musket.

This is a thermal weapon, and as long as it is slightly improved, it can have great lethality.The craftsmen of the Southern Song Dynasty didn't know how to improve it, but Zhao Dongting was a die-hard arms fan before crossing over. As long as it takes some time, it is not difficult to improve this musket.Furthermore, gunpowder already existed in the Southern Song Dynasty at this time, and the method of using gunpowder in Zhao Dongting's head was far beyond the imagination of the craftsmen of the Southern Song Dynasty.

He wanted to do something earth-shattering and let the ministers take a good look at it.
