The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 17
They are all high-ranking high-ranking officials, and Su Quandang was beaten, so naturally they would not take it to heart.Anyway, Su Quandang is not their nephew.

Su Liuyi looked at his colleagues secretly laughing, secretly angry, but there was nothing he could do.

His status is quite low among these few, and he does not have enough power to speak in the court. Because of this matter, it is really not easy for these ministers with real power to look at him.

Concubine Yang Shu looked at Su Liuyi's appearance, knew that he was angry, and was afraid of hurting the old minister's heart, she said softly: "It is reckless to hurt General Su, I will let the imperial doctor accompany Master Su to see General Su later. , and take some precious medicinal materials from the palace."

Su Liuyi knelt down and kowtowed: "I thank the Queen Mother Long En."

He mentioned this on purpose just now, in fact, he wanted Concubine Yang Shu to feel guilty.

This kind of favor from the imperial family slowly accumulates, and there will always be a time when there will be a lot of accumulation in the future.

"Master Su, you don't need to be too polite, I just wish you could comfort your nephew a little more." Concubine Yang Shu nodded.

Su Liuyi said repeatedly: "The king let the minister die, and the minister had to get up, not to mention that he shouldn't have teased Teacher Yue, and the emperor deserved to teach him a lesson. Although my nephew is not up to date, he never dared to say a word to the emperor. complain."

Concubine Yang Shu said with emotion: "Master Su is full of loyalty and virtuousness, and he is really an example for the soldiers and civilians of our Great Song Dynasty."

Zhang Shijie and other ministers also nodded slightly, but it's hard to say whether they agree or slander in their hearts, and most of them are the latter.

Then no one spoke again.

After ten seconds of silence, Concubine Yang Shu looked at the crowd and said, "That's a matter of my son's personal administration..."

She knew that Zhao Dongting was eager to take charge of the government, so she always kept this matter in mind.

All the ministers couldn't help looking at Lu Xiufu.

He was the one who put forward the idea of ​​observing Zhao Dongting at the beginning, and now he should be the one to talk about his opinion first.

Lu Xiufu stroked the beard on his chin slowly, and said slowly: "Although the emperor's move can't completely get rid of the empress dowager's restraint, it also elevates his status invisibly. Not to mention that he didn't step on the empress dowager's bottom line, but at the same time it can let the queen dowager go. The Empress Dowager has some scruples, at least it is impossible to press the emperor step by step, lest the courtiers discuss it."

Speaking of this, he bowed to Concubine Yang Shu, and then continued: "Queen Dowager, I feel that the emperor's move is very precise in terms of proportion and timing. Linglong's people definitely can't do it. Therefore, although the emperor is still young, I feel that the emperor can try to govern himself."

Concubine Yang Shu secretly agreed in her heart, and looked at the other ministers: "What do you think?"

Chen Wenlong and Lu Xiufu have always been very close, and immediately echoed: "I think what Master Lu said is very true."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Shijie also nodded.

Lu Xiufu is a member of the Privy Council who signed the letter, Chen Wenlong is a political adviser, and Zhang Shijie is also a deputy envoy of the Privy Council.In the case that Chen Yizhong, the left prime minister and privy envoy, has fled to Vietnam, the three of them can basically represent the meaning of the courtiers.The remaining Su Liuyi, who is in charge of the Dianqian office, and Liu Fu, who is also a political adviser with Chen Wenlong, and others, even if they have objections, they can't influence the overall situation.

Immediately, Liu Fu and the others also nodded.

Only Su Liuyi remained silent.

Among these ministers, he is undoubtedly the one who does not want Zhao Dongting to be in charge.First of all, Zhao Dongting cut off his command of the infantry guards just after recovering from a serious illness, and now he is beating his nephew.Not to mention whether their uncles and nephews will be criticized because of this, but at least it can be seen that the two of them are definitely not the lovable kind in Zhao Dongting's heart.

Su Liuyi thought, if the little emperor was in charge, his life with Quandang would be even more difficult.

However, seeing that the other ministers had already nodded, he had no choice but to nod his head bitterly.

As a minister in the court, seeing the direction of the wind is the most basic skill.Su Liuyi would be a fool if he dared to be disrespectful and raise objections at such a time.

Concubine Yang Shu was happy in her heart, she smiled softly and said: "Okay, then it's settled, let Shi'er take charge in person."

I'm afraid that even Zhao Dongting himself would not have imagined that just by making such a fuss, he would get all the ministers to recognize him as a pro-government.

He thought it was going to take some trouble.

After Lu Xiufu and the others left, Concubine Yang Shu took the maids and eunuchs to Zhao Dongting's bedroom.

But Zhao Dongting was staying in the weapons workshop, so the bedroom was naturally empty.

Zhao Dongting didn't come back until nearly noon.Seeing Zhao Dongting's disheveled appearance, Concubine Yang Shu felt a little distressed, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the dust off his forehead, and said, "Go tinkering with those things again, you are the emperor, just tell the artisans to do those things."

Zhao Dongting was a little touched, and said with a grin, "Those craftsmen can't make out of the things I tinker with."

"Oh?"

Concubine Yang Shu asked curiously, "What exactly are you messing with?"

Zhao Dongting said: "Mother, don't ask for now, you will naturally know in the future."

Concubine Yang Shu gave her an annoyed look, "You and mother are playing tricks."

After carefully wiping Zhao Dongting's face clean, she said again: "Yes, mother has a happy event to tell you."

Zhao Dongting said, "What happy event?"

Concubine Yang Shu turned her eyes slightly, and said: "If you don't tell Wei Niang what you are messing with, then Wei Niang won't tell you about the happy event."

Zhao Dongting didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment, he raised his hand and said: "Okay, mother, I just tell you the truth. What I'm tinkering with is a sharp weapon against Yuan Thief. As long as my child develops that thing, it will surely make Yuan Thief Be terrified."

"Really?"

Concubine Yang Shu's face was full of joy.

In the past few years after escaping from Lin'an, she actually had no extravagant hopes for the recovery of Song Dynasty, she just wanted a safe place to live.

Zhao Dongting said: "Of course it is true."

Concubine Yang Shu said: "That's really great. If you can defeat the Yuan thief, the government and the opposition will be united, and it will no longer be as scattered as it is now."

Although she is not very old, she has been in charge of the Southern Song court for a period of time, and she is clearly aware of the current situation of the court.

Zhao Dongting nodded, "Mother, can you tell me about the happy event now?"

Concubine Yang Shu said: "You beat Su Quandang violently in the hall, and now all the ministers agree to allow you to take charge of the government."

"what?"

Zhao Dongting couldn't believe it: "I beat up Su Quandang regardless of the occasion, and they still agree to let me be in charge now?"

Concubine Yang Shu couldn't help laughing, and told Zhao Dongting what Lu Xiufu and the others had said.

After hearing this, Zhao Dongting felt full of joy. This feeling was like picking up a lottery ticket on the road and winning a big prize. It was really an unexpected joy.

Concubine Yang Shu patted his head, "Yes, from tomorrow onwards you will be able to sit in court, but you have to work hard."

Zhao Dongting nodded heavily, "My child knows."

He knew that the opportunity for him to show off had quietly arrived.

That night, Zhao Dongting slept soundly, smiling in his sleep.

In the dark morning of the next day, Zhao Dongting got up, but instead of going to the Yizheng Hall, he went to Concubine Yang Shu's bedroom.

When she got there, Concubine Yang Shu hadn't gotten up yet, and Zhao Dongting was waiting outside.

After waiting for about six o'clock, Yang Yidong slipped out of Concubine Yang Shu's bedroom, and saw Zhao Dongting outside, with a face full of embarrassment.

Zhao Dongting himself felt nothing, after all he did not really regard Concubine Yang Shu as his mother.

Without waiting for Yang Yidong to salute, he said: "Lord Yang is exempt, I want to discuss something with you."

Yang Yidong was about to come over, bowed and said, "What is the emperor's order?"

He was originally an arrogant person, but at this moment he was convinced and grateful to Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting said: "I want to promote Yue Peng to be in charge of official affairs in the bodyguard infantry, and make you the general of the left and right guards to guard the Forbidden Palace, how about it?"

Yang Yidong was slightly surprised, "Your majesty, do you want to completely separate the infantry guards and no longer be responsible for patrolling the forbidden palace?"

Zhao Dongting didn't hide anything from him, just nodded and said: "I want to personally train the infantry guards."

Yang Yidong fell to his knees, "Thank you, Lord Long En."

He only wanted to stay with Concubine Yang Shu, and Zhao Dongting promoted him to be the general of the left and right guards, from the second-rank official position, although he only had two hundred old fritters from the previous guard infantry, but in fact he got along with Concubine Yang Shu for him Convenience is created.In the future, he will not have to be in charge of the guard infantry, and will have more time to accompany Concubine Yang Shu.

Zhao Dongting helped him up, and said: "As long as you don't blame me for raising you up and down, then you won't have any military power in your hands from now on."

Yang Yidong grinned and said, "I don't pursue that."

Zhao Dongting nodded, very satisfied with Yang Yidong's performance, and said: "Then tell the Queen Mother later, I will go to the Palace of Political Affairs now."

After Yang Yidong nodded, he took Li Yuanxiu to the Yizheng Hall.

Yang Yidong was willing to hand over power, and Zhao Dongting had firmly grasped the infantry guards in his hands.Although the guard infantry is only a few hundred people in total, he can use these outstanding guards to test his many ideas on ancient warfare.
