The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 188
Walking out of the hall, someone looked at Zhang Guangyao secretly, and his footsteps became even more hasty.But a eunuch followed behind without saying anything.

Zhao Dongting tilted his head and asked Lu Xiufu with a meaningful smile, "Does the Minister of State think they will obey my words?"

Lu Xiufu said: "Maybe some people will listen, but the stubborn ones may not give up resistance so easily."

"Ha ha."

Zhao Dongting smiled softly and stood up, "You two adults go back to deal with official business, I will go back to the bedroom first."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the hall with Le Wuhui, and gradually drifted away.

Le Wuwei asked: "The emperor has other preparations?"

Zhao Dongting said: "It is imperative to be on guard against others. I have learned too many lessons, so I should learn to be good."

He didn't go back to the bedroom, but went straight to the Wuding Hall next to the Zangshu Pavilion with Le Wuwei.

Afterwards, he went to the Imperial Guard barracks in front of the palace.

Su Quandang took the Dianqian Sijian Guards and him to go to Guangxi and did not return, but the orphans from the Military Intelligence Department still lived in the Dianqian Sijin Guards camp.

That night, dozens of experts from Wuding Hall and more than [-] spies from the Military Intelligence Department quietly left the palace and camp.

After Zhao Dongting returned to the palace from the Sijin Guard barracks in front of the palace, he plunged into the library to read those martial arts cheats collected from various places.

Read a hundred times, its meaning will be self-evident.Although he has no actual combat experience now, it is always good to have more theoretical knowledge.

When the masters of Wu Dingtang were leaving the palace, Zhao Dongting was in Yunjin's yard, listening to Yunjin's piano sound, playing chess with Zhang Ru, and was killed by Zhang Ru.

Zhang Ru was born dumb and introverted. She devoted herself to calligraphy, painting, piano and chess.

Zhao Dongting can only be regarded as a rookie who understands the rules of chess, but insists on not allowing Zhang Ru to give up. The result is naturally predictable.

After playing chess, Zhang Ru played the piano for Zhao Dongting. The sound of the piano was so bleak that Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned.

He seemed to hear a lot of killing intent in it.

Zhang Ru couldn't speak, and all his emotions were entrusted to the sound of the piano.

After listening, it took Zhao Dongting a long time to come back to his senses, and said softly: "How did the Yuan army take Chongqing, and how will I take it back."

Zhang Ru greeted generously.

That night, Zhao Dongting practiced sword in the courtyard until late at night.

After practicing the sword, he looked at the list of Bai Xiaosheng from outside the palace under the lamp.

This list is updated every year, and the Shenbing list often remains unchanged for many years, but the Hundred Flowers list and the master list often change.

The rankings of Li Yuanxiu and Murong Chuan have been topped by others, and they are nowhere to be seen on the master list.

Zhang Tiandong, the leader of the world's Taoist sect who was originally ranked fifth in the world, the leader of Longhushan Tianshi, taught Zhang Tiandong, but the ranking was not replaced by someone behind, but a swordsman named Chen Yidao appeared out of nowhere to replace him.Chen Yidao was born out of nowhere, defeated dozens of long-established masters in the rivers and lakes one after another, and fought against the beggar emperor Hong Wutian in Hengshan. After half a day of fierce fighting, he won by a slight advantage.

This made Zhao Dongting startled.

The fifth master who appeared suddenly was the fifth, which only shows that there are far more masters than Bai Xiaosheng's list of masters.

At the same time, he was also a little worried, not knowing what was going on with Hong Wutian.

On the Hundred Flowers List, Fairy Wushan is still at the top.It's just that Linglongxiang also jumped out of the sky, ranking second, second only to Fairy Wushan.

And Bai Xiaosheng's evaluation of Linglongxiang was that she was beautiful and fragrant, charming the world, and she couldn't lose to Fairy Wushan.

Zhao Dongting stared at the master list obsessively until the sky was pale.

New Year's Eve is here.

Ying'er came in from the house and saw Zhao Dongting sitting on the side of the bed, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, why did you wake up so early?"

Zhao Dongting smiled, but did not speak.

All night long, he was thinking about when he would be able to be on the master list.Although he had to pass on Li Yuanxiu's internal strength, and his internal strength improved by leaps and bounds, but his progress in swordsmanship was not fast.At this time, he always felt that there was still a huge gap between those masters on the Jianghu list.

Yinger Yingying walked towards the bed and helped Zhao Dongting comb her hair.

She always speaks very little, but does her best to take care of Zhao Dongting's daily life, like a caring big sister, infinitely gentle.

When Zhao Dongting walked out of the palace in full fine attire, he could only see red hangings and lanterns everywhere.

This is the second year he has lived since he came to the Southern Song Dynasty.

Here, more and more people make him feel worried.Although tired, there is a warm feeling.

The court situation in the Southern Song Dynasty was difficult, but they were united and there were not many intrigues, which made him feel very comfortable and close.

Outside the Hall of Political Affairs, all the ministers hurriedly congratulated Zhao Dongting on the New Year's Eve.

Zhao Dongting's mood was also drawn by the hustle and bustle of the New Year's Eve, which was quite good. In the early court, he officially rewarded the ministers who conquered Guangxi.

Wen Tianxiang is already a military order, he is an extremely personable minister, he is rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold, and he is named Duke of Yi, which is even more glorious.

Wan Yanzhang led the people to fight against the Yuan Dynasty, fought a bloody battle in Wuzhou, made him the Marquis of Jurchen, and bestowed the posthumous title of "Wu Lie".

Su Quandang, Yue Peng, and Dongheli were all named General Yunhui.

Zhang Xizai, the Marquis of Yu, the former Sidu, was disabled for life in the city of Wuzhou. He was named the Minister of the Ministry of War, and cooperated with Su Liuyi, who also served as the Minister of the Ministry of War, to take charge of the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of War in the Southern Song Dynasty is roughly equivalent to the current Ministry of National Defense. It is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Military Aircraft, but they are closely related.

Wen Tianxiang's son, Wenqi, made meritorious service in sending letters, and was also named as a member of the Ministry of War.

In addition, Zhao Dongting also officially appointed Wang Wenfu as the Imperial College Jijiu and Minister of Education, in charge of national education matters.

Originally, Guozijian Jijiu was the chief of the highest institution in the country, but now that the Song Dynasty is waiting to be rejuvenated, this official position is naturally useless.

Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie and the others had no objection to Zhao Dongting's award, but the Yushitai imperial envoy secretly mentioned whether Wen Tianxiang had enjoyed too many honors and favours, and whether he would be suspected of being superior to the master.Zhao Dongting just laughed it off, if even Wen Tianxiang could have a different heart, there would be no loyal people in Mo Tianxia anymore.

Leizhou is shrouded in the lively atmosphere of Chinese New Year.

The sound of firecrackers and fireworks is endless.

People wear new clothes specially prepared for the New Year, come and go, and go from house to house.

Children run from house to house, hands and pockets full of sweets.

Finally, Leizhou no longer saw many signs of poor livelihood. Even Suixi County, which was massacred by Murongchuan, gradually became lively because of the many people who escaped from the disaster and settled down there.

According to the usual practice, Zhao Dongting hosted a banquet for the ministers and their families after the morning court was over.

Liu Hongyi's wife, Wen Huixiang, and Xiyi's wife, Liu Qingyi, were both at the banquet. The two women actually came with dolls in their arms. They were both boys, white and fat, with rolling eyeballs.Zhao Dongting also liked it, and each emperor gave silver safety locks.

He was never married in his previous life, let alone had a child. At this moment, he really wanted to have a child.

Noticing his love for Liu Hongyi and Xiyi's children, Concubine Yang Shu smiled all over her face.

Wen Huixiang is grateful to Zhao Dongting.Because of her infertility, it was cured by Doctor An arranged by Zhao Dongting.

Over the past few days, Wen Huixiang has talked to Liu Hongyi how many times at home about the great grace of the emperor, making her husband risk his life to protect the court.

During the banquet, although Ying'er has not been formally accepted as a concubine, all the ministers already knew the news, and the female family members of each family congratulated her again and again, getting close to the future concubine.

This made Ying Er shy all the time, glanced at Zhao Dongting from time to time, full of gratitude and shame.

She really never thought about becoming a noble concubine, she just thought that being able to accompany Zhao Dongting in this life was enough.

Zhao Dongting accepted her as a concubine, in her view, it was a gift.Because her family is definitely not qualified to be a noble concubine.

It is only a pity that her family members are all away from home and cannot share her joy with her.

At night, Zhao Dongting called Yunjin, Zhang Ru, Concubine Yang Shu and others to hold a bonfire party in his yard.

Concubine Yang Shu and the others are all tasters and tasters, and they like this kind of party very much.At the gala here, there was no empress dowager, no emperor, no maids, everyone seemed like family, which made them all feel a warm feeling that they rarely felt after entering the palace.This is the feeling of home.

Concubine Yang Shu's family had already been slaughtered by the Yuan army, and Yinger and Zhao Dongting held hands, dancing and dancing, she couldn't help crying.

Just as he was in full swing, a guard came in from outside to report, "Your Majesty, someone claims to be the envoy of Sichuan Province, Zhang Jue, and is asking to see him outside the palace."

Zhao Dongting was stunned suddenly, and then showed a look of extreme surprise.

Zhang Ru's flawless face showed a look of incomparable excitement, and hurried to the outside of the courtyard.

At this time, it was exactly one month before Jun Tianfang rushed to Xi'an, and he actually brought Zhang Jue to Haikang County on New Year's Eve.

Zhao Dongting asked Concubine Yang Shu and the others to stay in the yard, and then ran out of the palace.

In his capacity, this is not the case.But Zhang Jue, as a general in Sichuan, defended Chongqing to the death, and deserved such courtesy from Zhao Dongting.

Furthermore, the Southern Song Dynasty is now in decline, even if Zhao Dongting can, he still has to act like a virtuous corporal.

Some cities in the middle are pretentious, but given the current situation in the Southern Song Dynasty, if he still puts on the emperor's airs high above, the monarchs and ministers below will inevitably be alienated.Zhao Dongting never thought about letting those courtiers shed tears and blood for the Southern Song Dynasty only with loyalty in their hearts. How he will treat everyone will treat him as everyone treats him.
