The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 31 The Return of the King

Until Concubine Yang Shu's bedroom.

The guards outside Concubine Yang Shu's door naturally knew Zhao Dongting. When they saw Zhao Dongting, they quickly knelt down and said, "Kowtow to the emperor!"

There was unstoppable hope on their faces.These days, Zhao Dongting has really convinced these guards, whether it is Huanglong going to sea or landmines, Zhao Dongting enjoys a very high prestige in the army.

It can be said that his legends are circulating everywhere on Quzhou Island.

Seeing these guards kneeling down, the imperial guards quickly knelt down too.

Then a clever guard jumped up and hurriedly ran towards the palace, shouting as he ran: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, the emperor is back!"

In just a few seconds, the door of Concubine Yang Shu's bedroom opened suddenly, and then two figures hurried out.It was Concubine Yang Shu and Yang Yidong.

Concubine Yang Shu ran to the door and saw Zhao Dongting who was drenched all over, she rushed over and hugged him tightly, "Yes, mine is..."

The baby is her heart and soul.

Yang Yidong saw that Zhao Dongting was fine, his face flushed with excitement.

Zhao Dongting let Concubine Yang Shu hold her, and said softly: "The child has made mother worry..."

Concubine Yang Shu just cried.

It took a long time before she released Zhao Dongting.

Although Zhao Dongting knew that Concubine Yang Shu only regarded herself as Zhao Shi, he was still moved in his heart, reached out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Concubine Yang Shu's eyes, and said softly: "Mother, follow me to the Palace of Political Affairs, my child has something I want to discuss with all the ministers. .”

Xiao Jin's death tortured his heart all the time.It made him wish he could immediately find out those men in black.

Concubine Yang Shu held Zhao Dongting's hand tightly, for fear that he would disappear before her eyes again, she nodded slightly.

Yang Yidong said to the guards next to him: "Quickly go and invite all the ministers to the Palace of Political Affairs."

The guards took orders to leave, and the imperial guards who brought Zhao Dongting to the palace also left.

Zhao Dongting and his party went to the Palace of Political Affairs.

Yue Wu's face was dull, and there was no trace of expression in Shui Lingling's big eyes.These days, she often does this.

Not long after arriving at the Yizheng Hall, ministers rushed over one after another.

Seeing that Zhao Dongting was really all right, these ministers were all very excited, and some even cried loudly.When they heard the report from the guards just now, they still couldn't believe it.

After waiting for 10 minutes, the courtiers had arrived, and many people were crying below.

"do not Cry!"

Seeing them crying, Zhao Dongting was inexplicably agitated, and shouted in a cold voice.

The ministers were stunned, and those ministers who were still crying quickly wiped their tears with their sleeves.

Zhao Dongting rubbed his brows fiercely with his hands, and asked: "Have you found out who attacked my bedroom?"

Su Liuyi and Yang Yidong walked into the hall and knelt down on the ground, "The emperor please grant me death!"

Zhao Dongting sighed in his heart, knowing what they said, they must have not found out.

But he also understood that the two of them could not be blamed for this matter.Both Su Liuyi and Yang Yidong had said that they would increase the number of manpower to guard the Forbidden Palace, but it was Zhao Dongting himself who vetoed their proposal on the grounds that they would not delay the sergeant's drill.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dongting waved his hands and said, "Get up, you are not to blame for this matter."

Su Liuyi and Yang Yidong still dare not get up.Of course, this is also because of guilt.

Zhao Dongting frowned slightly, and said: "Get up as soon as I tell you to, can you find out who assassinated me while kneeling here?"

Although he clearly knew that it was not the fault of Su Liuyi and Yang Yidong, but thinking of Xiao Jin's death, he still couldn't suppress his anger.

The two did not dare to kneel again, and quickly pleaded guilty and got up.

Zhao Dongting ignored the two of them, looked at Su Quandang in the hall, and asked, "General Su, how is the treasure ship going?"

Su Quandang came out and said: "Return to the emperor, our masters have tracked down the hiding place of the thieves, and are now investigating their reality. I believe they will return in a short time."

Zhao Dongting said in a deep voice: "Then you mean that Eunuch Li and the others haven't come back yet?"

Su Quandang was slightly startled, he didn't know why the emperor's words had a bit of murderous intent, but he still bit the bullet and said, "Yes."

Zhao Dongting's eyes narrowed slightly. Now, he has great doubts about Su Quandang.

But without evidence, he couldn't say for sure.

These two consecutive incidents made Zhao Dongting extremely upset.

Seeing that the ministers were silent below, he said coldly: "Send more people to guard the forbidden palace, and call back all the guards who searched for me. Let's disperse!"

After speaking, he got off the dragon couch and walked outside the Yizheng Hall.

Concubine Yang Shu also got up and hurriedly followed behind.

Ying'er and Le Wu were waiting outside the hall. Seeing Zhao Dongting come out, the group went to his bedroom.

In the bedroom, Concubine Yang Shu stayed with Zhao Dongting for a long time before leaving.

As soon as she left, Ying Er asked, "Your Majesty, have you found out who assassinated you?"

She knew that Zhao Dongting hastily summoned a group of ministers in the Palace of Political Affairs, and must have asked about this matter.

Zhao Dongting sighed and shook his head, "No. Their kung fu is very good, and they won't leave any clues at all."

"I'll ask my future brother-in-law to investigate."

Yue Wu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke beside him.

Xiao Jin's death, she is the saddest.

"no!"

Zhao Dongting said: "Your brother-in-law is from the martial arts world. If he went to investigate, he might have leaked the news. Moreover, it might bring him trouble."

Yue Wu suddenly became angry, "What about Xiao Jin's revenge?"

After speaking, he began to cry again.

Yinger originally wanted to say that she must not be rude to the emperor, but when she saw her crying, she could only swallow the words that came to her lips.

Zhao Dongting said guiltily: "Le Wu, give me some time, I will avenge Xiao Jin's revenge, okay?"

Le Wu cried for a while, and finally nodded slightly.

She is not an unreasonable person, she knows what Zhao Dongting just said is right.The reason for getting angry is that the emotions of these days are backlogged in my heart, so I don't get angry.

After all, she was young, and she didn't grow up in the palace. When she couldn't restrain her emotions, she naturally didn't care who Zhao Dongting was.

If it was Yinger, no matter how angry she was, she would never dare to vent it to Zhao Dongting.

More than ten days passed quickly.

There is still no progress in the matter of the assassins of the men in black. Those people are very skilled, they come and go without a trace, and really leave no trace.

Zhao Dongting also began to understand that kung fu really played a big role in ancient times.

He practiced more diligently.

That night, Li Yuanxiu and the others finally came back, and rushed to Zhao Dongting's bedroom to seek an audience without caring about rest.

Zhao Dongting naturally got up in a hurry and announced them to come in for an audience.

At the same time, his doubts about Su Quandang also faded a bit. It seems that this should be just a coincidence.Li Yuanxiu wasn't transferred away on purpose by Su Quandang.

Before Li Yuanxiu and the others knelt down, Zhao Dongting waved his hands and asked, "How's the investigation going?"

Li Yuanxiu didn't know about Zhao Dongting's assassination yet, so he said with some joy, "Your Majesty, this old slave has already found out the situation of the thief."

Zhao Dongting said, "Hurry up and tell me."

Li Yuanxiu paused, then said: "There are six gangs of thieves who robbed the treasure ship, all of whom are powerful pirates wandering around Leizhou Bay. Each of their families has dispatched men, and a lot of the looted treasures have been divided among them." .It’s just that they haven’t touched most of the treasures, and they don’t know why. The old slaves were afraid to startle the snake, so they didn’t dare to continue to investigate, so they rushed back and asked the emperor to punish them.”

How could Zhao Dongting punish them?

Pretending not to hear these words, he asked again: "Then have you found out about these pirate forces?"

Li Yuanxiu nodded, "The minimum is five hundred, and the maximum is eight hundred."

Zhao Dongting pondered slightly, "There are a lot of people... Wouldn't it add up to thousands of people..."

He was also helpless in his heart, the world was ruined and wars were raging, it was normal for these people not to join the army and become pirates.

In troubled times, bandits are always unavoidable.

Li Yuanxiu tentatively asked: "Your Majesty, should we gather all our troops to wipe them out?"

"Do not."

Zhao Dongting said: "The majority of the treasures have not been touched, maybe there are people behind them. Let's not hurry to destroy them."

"hiss……"

Li Yuanxiu gasped when he heard this, and said: "Could it be that Mr. Ge Li is behind the scenes?"

Zhao Dongting was also stunned immediately.

But then he shook his head again, "Probably not, Mr. Ge Li is sitting in Leizhou, so he shouldn't take this little wealth to heart."

As he said that, he leaned forward a little, and said to Li Yuanxiu: "Eunuch, let's arrange two more trustworthy and clever people to continue to watch over those pirates. I don't believe that if there are people behind them, they will still not come." Take these treasures."

Li Yuanxiu answered lightly.
