The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 186 Conditional Exchange
Hearing that Liu Hongyi also said that it was wrong, Zhao Dongting felt a little upset, "What worries does the general have?"

Liu Hongyi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, most of the generals in the army come from prominent families. If taxes are collected by force, there may be mutiny in the army."

On the way here, he heard the eunuch say that Zhao Dongting intends to collect taxes by force, so he has been thinking about this issue all along.

"This……"

Lu Xiufu and the others were all stunned.

As civil servants, they didn't think of this in a hurry.

Leizhou aristocrats have been running Leizhou for many years, and they are deeply rooted. They control the lifelines of all walks of life in Leizhou. If they confront them head-on, it is really possible that even the army will change.Most of the soldiers in the Huanglong Forbidden Army were from Leizhou, and their relationship with those nobles was complicated.

Moving the nobles can be said to move the whole body by pulling one hair.

Zhao Dongting also pondered, realizing that he might have thought about this matter too simply.

The current Southern Song Dynasty cannot withstand many twists and turns.

However, although he was worried about changes in Leizhou, he wanted to pull out the cancer of the nobility.If he wants what the people want, he will definitely improve the status of the people.If these nobles are not allowed to bow their heads at this time, it will only make it more difficult to make them bow their heads and implement the New Deal in the future.

In the end, he sighed and said: "In this case, then call the local nobles of Leizhou to the palace tomorrow, and I will discuss with them!"

He wondered if he could pull it out slowly in a gentle way, just like boiling a frog in warm water.

If those nobles can be persuaded not to use force, everyone will be happy.

Lu Xiufu and the others didn't have any good ideas, so they all nodded.

Zhao Dongting thought about it, then looked at Liu Hongyi, and said, "General Liu, you should still be prepared. If they are unwilling to cooperate with my new policy, then I would rather risk the danger of social turmoil and pull them out. Say no." What kind of thunderous measures should be taken when the time comes."

"Yes!"

Liu Hongyi's eyes were slightly cold.

He felt Zhao Dongting's determination. If the nobles were unwilling to cooperate, the army might have to face a big change.

In some respects, Zhao Dongting has an iron fist.

Afterwards, everyone discussed carefully for a while, and then Lu Xiufu, Liu Hongyi and others left.

Zhao Dongting sat alone in the courtyard and thought about how to persuade those nobles when he saw them tomorrow.I also plan to meet Concubine Yang Shu tomorrow morning and talk about Concubine Na.

But at this time, Yinger, who had been to accompany Concubine Yang Shu in the queen mother's bedroom, came back crying.

Zhao Dongting was startled by her choking sobs and came back to his senses. Seeing her wandering appearance with pear blossoms and rain, he felt a little strange, "Ying'er, what's wrong?"

Except when he misses his family occasionally, he has never seen Yinger cry.

Yinger didn't answer.

Zhao Dongting wiped away tears for her, and said: "Just tell me what wronged you have suffered, I will make the decision for you. Could it be that you still treat me as an outsider?"

Ying'er raised her head, looked at Zhao Dongting sadly, and said, "The queen mother, the queen mother is going to marry the servant to the grandson of the supervisory order."

Supervision order?
Zhang Shijie's grandson?

Zhao Dongting was slightly taken aback, "How could the Queen Mother suddenly have such an idea?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized it himself.

I'm afraid it's Yang Shufei's method to force the marriage.

Although Concubine Yang Shu has often given the maids in the palace to be wives and concubines for the descendants of the ministers and grandchildren to win people's hearts since the imperial court was overthrown, she has never given the emperor's personal maids.Because these personal maids are bound to become the emperor's women in the future, this is the rule.

Zhao Dongting couldn't help but fell silent.

If he didn't accept his concubine, probably Concubine Yang Shu would really do the trick and betroth Ying Er to Zhang Shijie's grandson.

Then, he suddenly showed joy and said, "I'm going to see the Queen Mother right now."

He originally resisted Concubine Yang Shu's continuous pressure to marry him, but now, he wished that Concubine Yang Shu's heart was more anxious.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Dongting took Le Wuhui and several eunuchs straight to Concubine Yang Shu's bedroom.

Yinger noticed the joy on Zhao Dongting's face, but felt sad in her heart.

Does the emperor really want me to marry outside the palace?

Outside the bedroom of Concubine Yang Shu, Zhao Dongting asked the eunuch to go in and report to Concubine Yang Shu.

Concubine Yang Shu did not let him be shut down this time when he begged to see her again.The eunuch quickly ran out again and invited him in.

When she arrived in the room, Concubine Yang Shu was sitting on the bed with a calm face, "Why did you come here at this time?"

Knowing that she was deliberately waiting for him to speak, Zhao Dongting pretended to be anxious, and said bluntly, "Mother wants to marry Ying Er to the grandson of the Supervisory Order?"

Concubine Yang Shu said: "Yes, this matter was brought up by the supervisory order. He will probably ask the emperor for a marriage in the early morning of tomorrow!"

Zhao Dongting smiled wryly, "Mother, don't make trouble, Ying'er is my personal maid, how could the Supervisory Order propose to her for his grandson?"

Concubine Yang Shu's face showed a little displeasure, and she said: "Yes, since you don't want to get married, you can't delay Ying Er's good life, right? Ying Er is now nineteen years old, at this age, you still don't want her to marry out of the palace. Go, do you really intend to keep her in the palace forever, as an old maid?"

Zhao Dongting was stunned.

This is not a play, but really stunned.

He suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have thought about Ying Er's feelings before.As a personal maid, Yinger should be very willing to marry herself, right?

If she resists Na Fei, what will she think?

In Zhao Dongting's heart, he couldn't help feeling somewhat guilty, guilty towards Ying Er.

Yinger cared for him in every possible way, but he actually ignored her feelings.And this time, she even planned to use Yinger.

Yes, he planned to use the matter of concubine Na to get Concubine Yang Shu to promise him that he wanted to make Lechan his queen.

Although the matter with Le Chan has not been settled yet, he has vowed to marry her as his queen.And for this, Concubine Yang Shu had to pass through.

Le Chan came from an ordinary family, and Concubine Yang Shu did not agree to it, and Zhao Dongting had to suffer a lot of constraints if he wanted to make her queen.

At this time, Concubine Yang Shu said again: "My mother also heard that the girl Le Wu has a marriage contract. If so, it is not suitable for her to stay in the palace as a slave. Send her back outside the palace tomorrow! Yun Jin is very beautiful Mei, there are also juniors in the Chinese martial arts family who admire her, and they plan to choose a good husband for her and marry her out of the palace. This will not delay her good life, but also win over all the officials and The relationship between the royal family should be a good thing."

She was intentionally "sending away" all the women around Zhao Dongting, pushing Zhao Dongting to the extreme.

Zhao Dongting's eyes slowly gathered, staring at Concubine Yang Shu, "Does the Empress Dowager really want to persecute the child like this?"

Concubine Yang Shu sighed: "It's not because of your mother that you are forcing you, but does the emperor have the heart to keep them waiting like this? How many more years can they wait?"

"it is good!"

Zhao Dongting suddenly nodded heavily, "Then I will accept Ying Er as my concubine."

"Ok?"

Concubine Yang Shu didn't expect Zhao Dongting to agree so simply, she didn't react.

Zhao Dongting said again: "Since my mother wants me to accept my concubine, then I will accept Yinger as my concubine. In this way, my mother will not marry her to the grandson of the supervisory order, right?"

Concubine Yang Shu smiled, "Since the emperor likes Yinger and intends to marry her, naturally he will not agree to the supervision order as a mother."

She was full of joy and felt that she had won.

She was sure that Zhao Dongting was very emotional, so she deliberately used this method to force Zhao Dongting, and now it really worked.

The emperor's son himself was very shrewd, Concubine Yang Shu made him compromise, and she was a little proud of herself.

However, at this time Zhao Dongting said again: "However, before I marry Yinger, I have a condition that I hope my mother will agree to."

The joy on Concubine Yang Shu's face could not be overwhelmed, she pulled Zhao Dongting to her side, and asked softly, "What are your conditions?"

Zhao Dongting said: "I only accept a concubine, not a queen. Moreover, I want to make the woman in my heart my queen. I hope my mother will agree."

Concubine Yang Shu frowned slightly, and pondered: "Who is this woman who makes Shi'er so obsessed? Could it be Le Chan?"

When she was in Quzhou Island, Le Chan lived in the palace for a while, and Concubine Yang Shu came into contact with her.She could also see Zhao Dongting's thoughts on Le Chan.

"Exactly!"

Zhao Dongting nodded.

Concubine Yang Shu showed a look of hesitation, "That girl Le Chan was born extremely beautiful, but her family..."

She was very satisfied with Le Chan's other aspects, and when Zhao Dongting wanted to marry her as his concubine, Concubine Yang Shu would even raise her hands in approval.However, the identity of the empress is no small matter. The emperors and empresses of the Song Dynasty often came from proud families, because only in this way can the court be stable.

Zhao Dongting said straightforwardly: "I have sworn to the sky that I will marry Le Chan as my queen. If mother does not agree, then I... will never get married!"

His face was full of determination.

It's just that he still hasn't said a word, he won't get married, and he won't let Ying Er and Yue Wu go out of the palace.

Concubine Yang Shu couldn't help being shaken when she heard what Zhao Dongting said.

Now she doesn't think so much about the future, all she wants is to let Zhao Dongting give birth to an heir as soon as possible.

Seeing Concubine Yang Shu's wavering, Zhao Dongting said again and again: "My world, I will fight it myself. My subjects, I will subdue it myself. I hope the Empress Dowager can trust my ability, and my ministers will not need me to use marriage weapons Ways to win over and consolidate."

"This……"

Concubine Yang Shu thought of Zhao Dongting's actions over the past few days, and her heart was shaken even more, "Mother promised you, you will accept Ying Er as your concubine?"

Zhao Dongting nodded heavily, "Yes!"

"What about Yunjin, Zhang Ru, and Lewu?"

Zhao Dongting smiled wryly, "Mother, are you being too hasty?"

Yinger is the one he can barely accept now.As for Yunjin and the others, Zhao Dongting hadn't thought of that at all.

Concubine Yang Shu couldn't help laughing out loud, guessing that this was almost Zhao Dongting's bottom line, so she accepted it when she saw it, and said: "Okay, I will agree to your conditions for my mother. But your marriage has to be done as early as possible, and you will announce it tomorrow." All over the world, accept Yinger as a concubine, and pray this matter to the world during the New Year's sacrifice, and then marry Yinger as a concubine."

Zhao Dongting was also satisfied, nodded, "OK."

With Concubine Yang Shu's words today, he will definitely save a lot of trouble when he marries Le Chan in the future.

After chatting with Concubine Yang Shu for a few more words, Zhao Dongting resigned, "That kid will leave first."

Concubine Yang Shu nodded with a smile.

She felt like she had won.

When Zhao Dongting got outside, he felt relaxed and smiled.He also achieved his goal.

When he returned to his bedroom, Ying Er was staring blankly under the tree.

She was reluctant to leave this yard, and she was reluctant to leave the emperor.Since she entered the palace, she has accompanied Zhao Dongting day and night, her feelings for Zhao Dongting are complicated, like a friend, but also like a brother and sister, naturally there is a bit of love between a man and a woman.

But now, the emperor was actually happy for her to leave the palace, which made her extremely sad.

Zhao Dongting walked over gently and asked, "Ying'er, are you still sad about the marriage?"

Yinger stood up gracefully, with a sad face, just saluted, "I have seen the emperor."

Zhao Dongting was a little puzzled when he saw that she suddenly became separated, but he still said: "Ying'er, I will announce to the world tomorrow that I accept you as my concubine."

When Yinger heard this, her delicate body trembled violently, tears streaming down her face.
