The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 558

That night, Zhao Dongting accompanied Concubine Yang Shu, Ying Er and Zhang Ru to eat in the palace, like a family feast, without anyone to accompany them.

It is rare for him to enjoy the warm feeling that only a family can give.

After Concubine Yang Shu and Zhang Ru left, Zhao Dongting and Ying Er were alone in the bedroom.

It goes without saying that a long absence is better than a newlywed, and that night, she was turned into a red wave.

Zhao Dongting was not satisfied until Yinger was tossed into a deep sleep. He gently stroked Yinger's disheveled black hair for a long while, put on his clothes, got up, and walked out of the bedroom.

He was announced by Wu Lianying, the chief of the general's intelligence department.

Leizhou Seaport.

I don't know how far the light on the watchtower shines on the sea.

The port was still lit with torches.

More than ten people were hung on the tall mast, which was very eye-catching.Even at this time, there are still many people pointing their heads.

Hundreds of heavily armored soldiers stood under the mast with swords, and a notice was erected beside it, so that overseas traders who knew this young master would not dare to move lightly.

It's just a puzzle in my heart, it's just wanting to be enchanted by medicine in the inn, this is a trivial matter that they didn't pay attention to in the past, when did the Song Dynasty put it on the line like this?
Could it be that someone stepped on the bottom line of the Song Dynasty and woke up this dozing tiger?

It's not a big deal to just talk about the young master being hung up for public display, but the attitude of Da Song shown in it makes anyone have to weigh it.

Inside the inn.

An oil lamp was burning on a table in the lobby.

Under the dim light of the oil lamp, there were several small plates and jars of wine on the table.

Tie Liduan and Lin Chong sat opposite each other and had a discussion.

Tie Li said: "In the future, do you really plan to live a normal life with Su'er?"

Lin Chong knew the meaning of Tie Liduan, and said: "Actually, you don't need to tell me, uncle, Lin Chong also knows that the current emperor is a rare and wise monarch, and also a very capable monarch, otherwise he would not be able to save everyone in a short period of time. Song Yu Kuanglan defeated the Yuan army steadily, and the people's livelihood was also prosperous. Such an emperor deserves Lin Chong to forget about Xiangyang and die for the court. But the nephew promised Su'er that he would take her to see the world everywhere .”

He smiled wryly, "Master, my nephew is now over 40 years old. The cultivation base of the Great Origin Realm is not low, but it is not too high if you say it is high. So... the nephew still wants to live up to it." For the matter of serving the court, if there is a chance after returning from traveling with Su'er, my nephew will definitely take the initiative to find you, my uncle."

"That's fine too."

Tie Liduan nodded lightly, "The emperor didn't say anything to invite you into the Wuding Hall, I'm afraid it's because you have no intention of doing this and don't want to embarrass you."

Lin Chong murmured with emotion, "If the previous one could be as wise as the present one, how great would it be?"

"Yes!"

Tie Liduan picked up the wine bowl, "It's just that if the Song Dynasty hadn't been evaded into a desperate situation, the current emperor probably wouldn't have appeared. The first few decades were the disaster of the Song Dynasty, but I believe that in the next few decades, it will be a disaster for the Great Song Dynasty." Song Zhifu. Maybe the emperor will open up an unprecedented vast territory and create an unprecedented prosperous world."

Lin Chong took the bowl and spilled the wine on the ground, "In this way, those who died in the Battle of Xiangyang can also feel at ease under the Nine Springs."

……

Early the next morning.

Zhao Dongting got up early and got dressed under Ying Er's service.Then he stayed with Ying Er for a long time, and went to the courtyard to practice swords.

When the sky was about to light up, he went to the main hall of the palace.

This palace, which was directly transformed by the government office, looked a little shabby considering the current national power of the Song Dynasty.Except for the pear blossoms, there are not many highlights.

Lu Xiufu and others proposed several times that Zhao Dongting build a palace, but Zhao Dongting refused.

It is impossible for him to stay in Leizhou forever. Building a palace here is a waste of time and money.He did not have the grand plan of building huge palaces all over the country like the previous emperors did.

When they arrived at the main hall, Lu Xiufu and others were already waiting.

This early meal lasted from early morning to noon, and then Zhao Dongting took all the officials to eat in the palace, then returned to the main hall, and discussed until it was nearly dark.

Zhao Dongting did not make any changes to the bureaucrats selected by Lu Xiufu, Wang Wenfu and others to serve in various places, but only asked Zhang Shijie's Supervision Department to pay close attention to the evaluation of these officials.Corruption often has to be stifled from the cradle, and when it gradually grows, gradually decays from top to bottom or from bottom to top, it will be really difficult to manage it at that time.

Song Dynasty hadn't completely regained the lost ground, Zhao Dongting didn't want to be overwhelmed by this kind of thing when the signs were just getting better.

As for the appointment of Fujian officials, Zhao Dongting only said that Huang Hua had made great contributions in the Fujian War. If he was not given the position of Fujian comfort envoy, it would inevitably chill the hearts of Huang Hua and the Toutuo troops.And those Shemin generals, rooted in Fujian, can't neglect them either.For the rest, I didn't say much.

But people who are as thorough as Su Liuyi and others naturally understand what Zhao Dongting means.

If the Toutuo Army wanted to be sealed, so should the officers and soldiers of the She people.In the middle, there must be some imperial thoughts.

After all, these two armies are not forbidden troops. It is easy to say now, but no one can say for sure in the future.Fujian borders the Yuan Dynasty and is an important place, so it might be better to let the two forces be equally divided.

Isn't the way of the emperor actually the way of balance?

Only when the bottom is balanced can the top be peaceful.

It wasn't until it was almost time for dinner that the officials left the palace, and Zhao Dongting was finally clean, heaved a long sigh of relief.

Being an emperor is really hard work.In terms of personal quality of life, it is by no means as comfortable as those idle princes in the history books.

Zhao Dongting went back to the bedroom and had dinner with Concubine Yang Shu, Yinger, and Zhang Ru, but he still couldn't rest. After a short rest, he took Yinger and Zhang Ru to Wuding Hall, and called Hong Wutian, Mrs. Xu and his wife. Leave the palace and go outside the palace.

He is such a vigorous temperament.

Haikang has a night market.

After the five of them left the palace, they walked through the streets with few pedestrians to the brightly lit night market, where they suddenly became lively.

There are a lot of strange things from Liuqiu, Yueli Dynasty and other places. There are both right and wrong things in this night market, and most of them are the latter.

As long as you have enough money, it's a breeze to buy a foreign girl or a woman with red lips and white teeth here.

Now some nobles and gentry from Leizhou have fallen in love with this mouth. If there are a few maids and prostitutes from foreign lands in the family, this is quite a decent thing.

Of course, Zhao Dongting and others came here not to buy beauties, let alone prostitutes.

He just wanted to take Ying'er and Zhang Ru who had lived in the palace for a long time out for a stroll, and by the way, pick out a few cute gadgets for them.I came back from Fujian in a hurry, and the sea boat never docked in the middle, so I didn't buy any gifts for the two beauties.

After the two women had gained something, Zhao Dongting personally selected a few accessories with a different flavor from the Song Dynasty, and the five of them left the night market again.

After counting 10 minutes, the night was quite dark, and the five people stopped in front of an ordinary house.

Naturally, such a private house would not have a door plaque such as "a certain mansion" on the door.

Zhao Dongting knocked on the door.

The door was quickly opened, and an old servant showed his head. When he saw Zhao Dongting, Hong Wutian, and Mrs. Xu, his eyes lit up, showing joy, "It turns out that the benefactors have come."

Back then the Zhu family suffered a catastrophe, if it wasn't for this young master who brought a few nobles there, the Zhu family might not be able to have a peaceful life like it is now.

This private house is naturally the residence of the Zhu family in Leizhou.Calculating the time, Zhu Zongyao brought the Zhu family members to Leizhou for a long time.

The old servant hurriedly invited Zhao Dongting and others inside.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, less than ten meters away, he shouted to the inside: "Master, madam, the benefactor is here."

The Zhu family, which had been silent in the night, quickly lit up many oil lamps.

Just as the old servant invited Zhao Dongting and five people to sit down in the main hall, Zhu Zongyao and his wife rushed there first, and then Young Master Zhu, Zhu Qinghe, and Zhu Qingci sisters also arrived one after another.

Seeing Zhao Dongting, they all showed a little excitement in their eyes.

Seeing that Zhao Dongting was leaving the palace in micro-clothes, he didn't kneel down.The two young masters of the Zhu family and the sisters Zhu Qingfu and Zhu Qingci were unavoidably cautious.
