The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 384 The Magic of Power
At Zhao Bing's age, no matter how mature his mind is, he wouldn't just choose this barren land far away from the emperor, unless he really wanted to sharpen himself.

But it needs to be sharpened. Is there no place in Guangxi that is difficult to manage and develop?

Zhao Dongting went back to the bedroom and sat at the desk. He didn't paint the national flag immediately, but meditated.

Yongzhou...

Zhao Bing is simply putting himself on fire. In that place, it is not surprising to die there if he accidentally provokes the rioters.

Why did Zhao Bing do this?
Is it because you are young and energetic and want to express yourself?

With Zhao Bing's young and mature temperament, he should not be so childish.

Is that someone behind the scenes?
Although Yongzhou is dangerous, it is also the place where the imperial power is weakest.There, Zhao Bing stationed troops and rebelled without anyone noticing.

Zhao Dongting's complexion gradually became a little heavy, "The matter of brothers killing each other... Zhao Bing, you should take care of yourself."

If Zhao Bing had been honest all these years, and his biological mother Yu Xiurong had died for the country, Zhao Dongting would never let him go there.

Of course, now that the promise has been made, there is no point in talking about it.

After a long time, Zhao Dongting sighed softly, and finally picked up a pen to write and draw on the paper.

Power is touching!

Zhao Dongting did not draw the national flag, but first drew a big circle on the paper, and wrote Yuan characters inside, then drew a smaller circle, and wrote Li characters, and then drew a smaller one, and wrote Song characters.Finally, after thinking about it, I added the two circles of Xixia and Shuzhong, and with a dignified expression, I gently divided a small point from the small circle of Song Dynasty, and wrote the word Bing.

This is probably the current situation in the world, and there are only a few companies that have the hope of competing for supremacy and may have this kind of mentality.

Think about it, Zhao Dongting still painted out the word Bing again, making the circle of Song Dynasty complete again.

He still hoped that Zhao Bing would not harbor dissent.

Staring at the paper for a few minutes, Zhao Dongting lit the oil lamp, put the paper on the oil lamp and lit it, and played with it in his hand until the whole paper gradually turned into ashes and fell to the ground, "If someone really caused trouble, then No wonder I opened the killing ring."

If someone really instigated Zhao Bing to do this, no matter who it was, Zhao Dongting would never let it go.

Later, Zhao Dongting sat back on the chair and began to design the national flag.

Since it is the national flag, it should not be careless. It must make people feel the special meaning contained in the pattern on the flag.

"Scholars, farmers, workers, merchants..."

Zhao Dongting muttered to himself while writing and drawing on the paper.This is his habit, thinking and recording, because he feels that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, and some inspirations are fleeting, and they may not be able to get them back later.

Time passed slowly.

Concubine Yang Shu chatted with Ying Er outside the house, and then left with Zhao Bing.

Zhang Ru and Ying Er sat in the yard looking at the lotus pond, and did not enter the house to disturb Zhao Dongting.In fact, ladies in this era are really boring, they don't have any entertainment activities, and they can't go out casually.And it's even more so for a concubine like Yinger, she can't even be a female celebrity.

Women in the royal family should be pampered.

After more than ten minutes, Zhao Dongting finally finished writing contentedly.

He felt that the national flag he designed was almost the same, and that the design was too complicated for others to understand.

On paper, it is a rectangular flag.

There is a dragon entrenched in the upper left corner of the banner, uh, Zhao Dongting painter is horrible, let's say it is a dragon first!And in the semicircle on the right side of the dragon, there are four small patterns guarding it, like stars holding the moon.

The book represents scholars, the ears of wheat represent farmers, the sickle represents workers, and the abacus represents merchants.

This is the four peoples in ancient times. Zhao Dongting arched the pattern of the four peoples beside the golden dragon, which really meant to let the people get closer to the court as the center.

It's just that these patterns are drawn by him, and they are really horrible.

After shaking the paper, Zhao Dongting stood up, walked to the door, and shouted outside: "Show all the painters in the palace."

After a pause, he said again: "Send Eunuch Wu here too."

Now that the military intelligence offices are spread all over the place, they have become Zhao Dongting's dark blade. To investigate the matter, it is naturally easiest to let Wu Lianying do the investigation.

There are eunuchs outside the courtyard to take orders.

Zhao Dongting walked under the pear tree, looked at the bored two girls, and couldn't help chuckling: "Bored?"

In fact, the two women's faces were short of boredom.

Sitting dryly, looking at each other, what is it if it is not boring?
Zhao Dongting slammed his mouth, "Why don't I teach you a little game to save time?"

The eyes of the two girls were full of brilliance, Ying'er said: "Your Majesty, what kind of game?"

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are all things for self-cultivation, less interesting, and we can't study them all the time.

Zhao Dongting asked the court lady to bring Go and put it on the desk, "I will teach you how to play backgammon."

Then, he taught the two girls how to play.

The backgammon rules are extremely simple, but it also implies fun.When the painters and Wu Lianying arrived, Yinger and Zhang Ru were already having a great time.

Zhao Dongting asked all the painters to wait outside, and took Wu Lianying to the bedroom.

Wu Lianying knelt down on the ground, and said in a sinister voice, "This old servant kowtowed to the emperor."

"Ah."

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, with a flat face, far less polite to Wu Lianying than to Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu and others.

The way to control people should be divided into four types: to understand with emotion, to move with reason, to lure with profit, and to coerce with prestige.For example, Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu are extremely human ministers with a heart for the country, Zhao Dongting naturally chooses the former.As for those enshrined in the Wuding Hall, most of them choose to lure them for profit.Wu Lianying's city mansion is too deep and gloomy, and the first three are unlikely to be effective, so Zhao Dongting has always maintained his majesty towards him and never got close to him.

If they are too close, who knows if people like Wu Lianying will take credit for themselves?

Without letting Wu Lianying get up, Zhao Dongting said indifferently: "Go and find out secretly whether anyone has been in contact with King Guang recently."

Wu Lianying didn't say much, and agreed directly, "The old slave takes the order."

Zhao Dongting waved his hand, "Go, let those painters come in."

Wu Lianying stood up and slowly exited the house.Soon, more than ten painters came into the room.

These court painters are all well-known among the people, and even some of them have been famous forever, such as Zheng Sixiao.

It's just that Zheng Sixiao hasn't changed his name at this time, it's called Zheng Zhiyin, and he hasn't made his Molan paintings famous in the world.

But his painting skills are naturally worth mentioning, and he is the leader among court painters.

When they entered the room and knelt down, Zhao Dongting said: "My loves, please stand up!"

All the painters got up and looked at Zhao Dongting eagerly.

Zhao Dongting had a thick skin, and didn't think there was any shame in not being good at painting, so he directly handed the national flag he painted to Zheng Zhiyin, saying: "I intend to set up a national flag besides the military flag. The national flag must be hung high to show the people. It’s just that I am not good at painting, so I called you here to design this national flag as the national flag of our Song Dynasty, and we must not lose face of our Song Dynasty.”

Zheng Zhiyin took the painting, opened it, and the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly.

In this era when everyone uses a brush, even a child with horns can draw better than Zhao Dongting.

His expression was captured by Zhao Dongting, who could say in a deep voice, "Master Zheng thinks that I don't draw well?"

The painters who had just stood up heard his deep tone and hurriedly knelt down again.

Zheng Zhiyin tried his best to say something against his conscience, "The paintings of the emperor are unconstrained and unconstrained, quite novel, and they are excellent works."

"Haha."

Zhao Dongting laughed out loud, "Okay, I know my skills myself, just to tease you. Go down, and each imitate several paintings within two days. The dragon, the abacus, the book, the sickle, and the ear of wheat can't do it at all." Change, when the time comes, I will choose the one that suits me the most from your paintings, and reward them with great rewards. Go down now!"

"I'm waiting for orders!"

The painters headed by Zheng Zhiyin bowed and left the room.

With a smile on the corner of Zhao Dongting's mouth, he muttered to himself, "Right...is really a good thing..."

If he wasn't the emperor, maybe people like Zheng Zhiyin who love painting would call him bloody just now?
Can it be called a masterpiece as far as the ghostly painted talisman that looks like a chicken treading on snow?

A blind man would say so.

After going through the little episode just now, Zhao Dongting's originally slightly dignified mood suddenly eased a lot.

Not to mention what exactly Zhao Bing was thinking is still unknown, even if he really wanted to support himself, Zhao Dongting felt that he could accept it.

Xixi in the world is Lilai. The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit.

The word "Li" obviously also contains the word "Quan".
