The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 7
The two chatted until late at night, and finally Yinger fell asleep on Zhao Dongting's bed.

However, Zhao Dongting was still very weak and didn't spend much time in it, so he was very honest.

Before going to bed, he deliberately placed a pillow between himself and Yinger.He didn't sleep well, for fear of disturbing Yinger at night.

But after he fell asleep, Ying'er quietly opened her eyes and looked at him softly.

This little emperor is really different from before.

Yinger is very grateful to Zhao Dongting.

Just now the two talked about Yinger's family. Yinger said that she had been completely separated from her parents and brothers since she fled Lin'an.I am just a little maid, but the emperor values ​​me so much. Such an emperor is worth protecting with my life.

Ying Er looked deeply at Zhao Dongting, and thought to herself: "Your Majesty, Ying Er will never let you suffer any more harm."

In the past, Zhao Shi also loved her, but his eyes were mostly dependent on children, unlike the current Zhao Dongting.The emperor seemed to have grown up suddenly.

Thinking about it, Yinger's pretty face blushed a little.

In a few years, the emperor will really grow up, and then he won't really...

Her watery eyes softened.

At that time, the maid did not dare to think of any resistance in her heart.The world is so big that it is full of imperial land, let alone people?
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was only getting brighter, and Zhao Dongting woke up.

In his previous life, he had developed the habit of healthy work and rest. Now that he has traveled through time, his biological clock has not changed.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard Ying Er say beside her, "Your Majesty, are you awake?"

Yinger got up earlier, already dressed and waiting beside her.

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly.

Ying Er said again: "It's still early, do you want to rest for a while?"

Zhao Dongting sat up and said: "No, I, I have to go to the school grounds to inspect the guards."

"You are so hardworking."

Ying'er pursed her lips and smiled, "That slave will help you change your clothes."

But he thought in his heart that before the emperor got up so early, he only cared about whether his crickets were hungry.Now, I don't even ask.

Zhao Dongting was taken aback, "Okay."

I have never enjoyed this kind of treatment in my previous life!
Yinger's hands were very soft, and she still had the fragrance of her virgin on her body. She helped Zhao Dongting to change the dressing room, and Zhao Dongting couldn't help but feel that Wenrou Township is really a hero's tomb. I hugged my son under the quilt to be happy and happy.

By the time Yinger helped Zhao Dongting get dressed and washed up, it was already 10 minutes later.

Before, Zhao Dongting was only wearing casual clothes in the bedroom, but now he was wearing a dragon robe and a tall hat, so he was really excited.

I used to always fantasize about being an emperor, but I didn't expect that I could really taste this kind of taste now.It's just that wearing this tall hat is really inconvenient, and my neck feels very tired.

"Go, take me to the school grounds!"

Zhao Dongting shook his large sleeve robe, grinned, and walked outside the house.

As soon as he walked out of the door, several guards outside the door fell to their knees, "Your Majesty!"

"Um……"

Zhao Dongting nodded slowly, "You will follow me to the school grounds!"

Several guards and soldiers answered yes, obediently following behind Zhao Dongting.They are all martial arts practitioners, and they came here late at night, so they don't look very tired.

A group of people were walking on the road, and the eunuchs, maids and guards they encountered all knelt down and saluted, which made Zhao Dongting feel very relieved.

Just after walking out of the main entrance, he met the chief eunuch Li Yuanxiu and several eunuchs hurrying over.

When he saw Zhao Dongting and his party, he was stunned at first, and then quickly fell to his knees, "Your majesty, why are you getting up at such an early hour?"

Zhao Dongting waved his hands to get them up, and said with a smile, "I'm going to inspect the guards today, so I should get up early."

Li Yuanxiu was not announced last night, so he probably didn't know about Zhao Dongting's taking over the guards.

"Inspecting the guards?"

Li Yuanxiu was slightly surprised, and then said: "Then let the servant follow the emperor?"

Zhao Dongting nodded after pondering, "Alright."

Li Yuanxiu looked as if he was afraid that something would happen to him, and Zhao Dongting couldn't refute his kindness.

Seeing that Zhao Dongting agreed, Li Yuanxiu ordered a few eunuchs behind him to clean Zhao Dongting's bedroom, and followed Zhao Dongting.

However, when a group of people arrived at the school grounds, it was actually empty.

The embroidered dragon flag hung high on the flagpole of the school ground fluttered in the wind, shining brightly in the morning sun, but it only looked extremely bleak.

Zhao Dongting immediately frowned slightly, "What the hell is Su Liuyi doing?"

Then he turned around and asked Li Yuanxiu: "Eunuch, do you know when the guards practiced?"

Li Yuanxiu saluted and replied: "My lord, since I moved to Quzhou Island, the guards have been tight. The guards have been guarding the forbidden palaces and the royal family and nobles all the time. Therefore...the guards have not been trained for a long time. pass."

"Oh……"

Zhao Dongting nodded slowly, "Then let's wait here!"

He said nothing, but he couldn't stop sighing in his heart.The court of the Southern Song Dynasty is really at the moment when the building is about to collapse. I remember that the Song Dynasty in the Water Margin claimed to have 80 forbidden troops, but now, the guards are so scarce that they don't even have time to practice.

If soldiers don't practice, no matter how strong their martial arts are, what kind of fighting power can they have?

Zhao Dongting couldn't imagine how low the combat effectiveness of the army of the Southern Song Dynasty would be now.

The guards and the army are like this, I am afraid that the chief of the palace will not be much better, right?
The two are collectively called the Forbidden Army, but they are the most elite and most effective army in the imperial court.

After a few minutes, Zhao Dongting asked again: "How many sergeants are there in the guards and the Dianqian division?"

Li Yuanxiu replied: "This... this old slave doesn't know."

Zhao Dongting stopped talking.

The sun rises slowly, and the wind blows the military flag, whistling.

It took a full 10 minutes for the guards to gather one after another, wearing armor, copper helmets and red tassels.They are all with goose feather swords hanging from their waists and plain wooden spears (Southern Song Dynasty standard spears) in their hands. They look majestic, but they all have lazy and depressed faces, and some of them are yawning.

Zhao Dongting sighed inwardly, "The small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty fled and lingered here, it really is because the morale of the army is lost."

These bodyguards don't have any morale at all. If they fight on the battlefield, why don't they flee?
At that time, I am afraid that he will run faster than the emperor himself.

Li Yuanxiu screamed angrily: "The emperor is here, so hurry up and pay your respects!"

These bodyguards still just walked slowly in front of Zhao Dongting, knelt down on one knee and called out to the emperor, feeling weak.

Zhao Dongting did not reprimand them, but said calmly: "You all wait in line first."

The guards went over lazily and stood there again.

They really haven't practiced for a long time, and when they learned that the little emperor was going to review, they were just playing around like the little emperor.

Although Zhao Dongting was the emperor, he was too young to have much prestige in the court, let alone in the army.

These guards were able to follow the court to Quzhou without escaping halfway, which is considered very good.

After waiting for another 10 minutes, hundreds of people gathered in the school grounds.

Su Liuyi and Yang Yidong finally came slowly.

Seeing the two of them coming, the expressions of these guards and soldiers finally became more serious, but they still didn't look very energetic.

And these two people, as if turning a blind eye, went straight to Zhao Dongting and saluted, "Your Majesty."

Zhao Dongting didn't ask the two of them to get up, and asked calmly: "Master Su, Lord Yang, how do I see that the soldiers don't seem to be energetic?"

Su Liuyi glanced at Yang Yidong.

Yang Yidong replied: "Your Majesty, the guards are guarding the Forbidden Palace day and night, and they have no time to rest. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhao Dongting chuckled, "Our Great Song Dynasty is in danger. The soldiers can't practice all day long. What's the use of guarding the Forbidden Palace?"

When he said this, Su Liuyi and Yang Yidong's expressions changed.Naturally, they could hear that Zhao Dongting was blaming them for their incompetence in running the army.

Zhao Dongting did not give them a chance to argue, and immediately asked: "How many sergeants are there in the guards?"

Su Liuyi replied: "There are more than [-] infantry guards and more than [-] horse guards."

"Why didn't I see where Ma Jun was?"

"Ma Jun is waiting for the Holy Majesty to review at the Ma Jun Academy!"

"it is good."

Zhao Dongting nodded, "Then Master Yang will start to practice, and let me see the majesty of our Great Song army."

"Yes!"

Yang Yidong clasped his fists and stood up.

It has to be said that he was indeed born with a good skin, and he was wearing armor at this time, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, which deserved the word majestic.

He suddenly pulled out the saber from his waist, and shouted: "Practice in formation!"

The infantry guards present slowly dispersed and began to practice.It's just that the movements are messy, and it looks like a mess.

Some guards acted lazily, more like a big girl embroidering.

Su Liuyi couldn't help showing some guilt on his face.

Zhao Dongting looked at it, and just chuckled in his heart, "Yang Yidong wants me to retreat in the face of difficulties, and doesn't want to hand over power..."

Seeing that the guards were so lazy, Yang Yidong didn't reprimand them, and he didn't say anything encouraging. Didn't he acquiesce in what they were doing?
