The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 701 Yongzhou Secret Letter
It is raining heavily in Changsha City, which makes this ancient city with a long history shrouded in mist and rain.

Green willows weeping branches, black tiles and white walls, the ancient city in the rain is full of antique but fresh flavor.

There are people holding oil-paper umbrellas bustling in the streets.

The glazed gold and emerald green inside and outside the palace is very solemn.

What a picture of an ancient city, compared with the tense pace of modern life, it really looks much more peaceful and peaceful.

Although, this is ancient times.

Inside the palace, there are eunuchs in green robes walking along the long corridor to the imperial study.

On both sides of the eaves of the promenade, the rain falls along the cracks of the glazed tiles.

The plantains, rockery, and weeping willows in the palace all look so fresh.The guards in front of the temple who were hiding from the rain gathered in groups in the corridor or under the hall, talking and laughing.

The eunuch's status in the palace is not high, and he is habitually hunched over.But these guards saw him, but no one dared to stop him.

This is the eunuch of the Pigeon Breeding Department of the Military Intelligence Department.

Since the establishment of the Military Intelligence Department, it has been secretly responsible for inquiring about news from various places, laying secret chess pieces, and on the surface, it is also responsible for the transmission of military aircraft and major government affairs in various places.

The correspondence between military and political chiefs from all over the country and the imperial court, whether it is a pigeon or a fast horse, cannot surpass the barrier of the Military Intelligence Department.

Even Wu Lianying, the head of the Military Intelligence Department, has no right to read such letters.

This great eunuch in charge of the Military Intelligence Department only passes through his hands the news that is sent to the capital by dark chess from various places.

Of course, the eunuch at this time was not Wu Lianying.It's just an ordinary little eunuch from the Pigeon Breeding Department, named Yi Shiyu.

It's a very feminine name.

The last time the Chongqing government sent a secret letter to Changsha, it was this little eunuch who delivered the letter to the emperor.Later, he didn't know why he was favored by the emperor, and he got the permission to face the Holy Majesty.In terms of the number of times he saw the emperor, the number of times this little eunuch was able to see the emperor was probably much more than many high-ranking officials and nobles in the court.

Yi Shiyu quickly walked outside the imperial study room, bowed slightly to the guards at the door, and then softly shouted inside: "Your Majesty..."

The one who opened the door was Zhu Hecong from Xiaohuangmen.

Yi Shiyu bowed to Zhu Hecong again, cautiously as always, and then walked into the imperial study.

The emperor Zhao Dongting was sitting on the bed, holding a yellowed ancient book in his hand.

Seeing Yi Shiyu, he showed a slight smile, "Another secret letter has arrived?"

Most of the time, the emperor is approachable and has almost no airs.

Yi Shiyu kowtowed to the ground and performed the etiquette honestly before walking in front of Zhao Dongting, took out the secret letter from his sleeve and handed it over.

Zhao Dongting opened the letter and read it, with a gloomy expression on his face, but suddenly turned around and looked out the window.

There were a few plantains outside the window, and they were beaten loudly in the sound of rain.

Seeing the emperor's appearance, Zhu Hecong, Zhu Haiwang, and Yi Shiyu didn't dare to speak easily.

After a while, I heard the emperor say, "Go down!"

Yi Shiyu slowly exited the imperial study.

Zhao Dongting was still looking out of the window, lost in thought.

There are two pieces of paper in the secret letter.

First, a beautiful woman came to Hengshanzhai, causing the Rong, Chu and Ding families to fight each other, and the Chu family invited the beautiful woman to the mansion.The guards of Prince Guang's Mansion went to Chu's house and escorted the beautiful woman and the head of the Chu family to the palace. The head of the Chu family was convicted of robbing the women in the street and was punished with a stick.There is no more news from the beauty.

The second is a portrait.

Not signed.

It is nameless.

Counting the time, it has been a while since Wuming arrived at Hengshan Village.

This is the first secret letter he sent back.

There was no news of the Guangwang Mansion plotting to rebel, but this secret letter made Zhao Dongting even more intriguing.

These days the artist's skill cannot be underestimated, Yu Linglong's appearance is vivid on the paper.For this stunning beauty, Zhao Dongting, who already had a superb memory, never forgot.

It's just that they don't know what Yu Linglong's intention is to sneak into Guangwang's mansion in this way.

Could it be that she wants to instigate King Guang?

Zhao Dongting couldn't think of any other reasons.

Now that the war between the various countries has just stopped, there will be some hidden tricks without accidents.This is inevitable.

Even for himself, after signing the peace agreement with the Yuan Dynasty, the spies sent by the Military Intelligence Department to the territory of the Yuan Dynasty have not stopped, have they?

Divide and instigate rebellion, these soft knives are not much less powerful than fighting on the battlefield.

With the strength of Yongzhou's troops, if the king of Guang was instigated to rebel, the foundation of the Song Dynasty would not be shaken.However, as King Guang, if he turned against him, his influence would be enormous.

The moment Zhao Dongting saw the letter, he had the idea of ​​sending a letter to remind Zhao Bing, but he stopped this idea in an instant.

He wasn't sure what King Guang was thinking, whether this half-brother was going to break up with him for profit, or other ideas, and now Zhao Dongting couldn't decide.

The more important thing is that now Wuming has sent the news back, but there is no movement from the Military Intelligence Department, which is not normal.

Yu Linglong's entry into Hengshan Village caused a sensation in the city, and finally settled in Guangwang Mansion.There is no reason why the spies of the Military Intelligence Department should be ignorant of such things.

Wu Lianying.

Zhao Bing.

Zhao Dongting looked away from the window, and slowly wrote down the two names on the rice paper on the desk.

Afterwards, he put this piece of rice paper on the oil lamp and burned it to ashes, "He Cong, Xuan Wu Lianying is here to see you."

Wu Lianying, chief of the Military Intelligence Department, arrived soon.

This old eunuch who had served the court of the Song Dynasty for decades could not hide his gloomy air, but in front of Zhao Dongting he looked like a real old slave.

Zhao Dongting stepped down from the dragon couch, asked Wu Lianying to get up, and asked Wu Lianying: "Eunuch Wu, has there been a secret letter from Yuan, Li, and Shuzhong in the past few days?"

Wu Lianying shook her head lightly, "Reporting to the Emperor, there is no new news."

Since Zhao Dongting arrived in Changsha, the Song Dynasty issued and implemented many new policies to develop national power.Naturally, Yuan, Li, Xixia and others were not idle either.

Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, regarded the Song Dynasty as the number one enemy, gradually began to shrink his power, and had close contacts with the four major kingdoms of Mongolia.

Dali also imitated the Song Dynasty and implemented the New Deal.In the country, wasteland was reclaimed, stalls were put into tombs, and agricultural development was vigorously promoted. Many new policies were widely acclaimed in the country.

After the empress of Xixia ascended the throne, she also implemented many new policies with an iron fist, most of which were aimed at the domestic army, and she officially controlled the various military divisions of Xixia.

Tuobaxiong, He Liandong and the others never left the Zhongxing Mansion again, and they held important positions on the surface, but in fact, it can be said that they have become hostages.

There was no movement in the already affluent Shuzhong.

"Oh……"

Zhao Dongting heard Wu Lianying's answer, and responded softly, "Is there any new news in China and Liuqiu and other places?"

"nor."

Wu Lianying answered in a low voice, then raised her head suddenly, and asked, "Why did the emperor suddenly ask this?"

Every day in the Military Intelligence Department, eunuchs will deliver secret letters to the imperial study, so it stands to reason that the royal family doesn't need to ask him about these things.Wu Lianying was a little puzzled when she arrived.

Zhao Dongting shook his head lightly, and said, "No. I just suddenly felt a little restless, and I was worried that something might have happened..."

Wu Lianying said: "Perhaps it's because the emperor has been working too hard recently. The country is peaceful and the people are safe, so nothing should happen."

"I hope so."

Zhao Dongting twisted his neck.

Wu Lianying bowed with keen eyesight, "Then the old slave resigned first?"

Zhao Dongting nodded and did not speak again.

Wu Lianying retreated out of the imperial study room, her eyes suddenly became extremely deep as soon as she left the room.

When you leave again, your footsteps will seem a little hurried compared to when you came.

He has been a slave in the palace for decades, so he may not understand other reasons, but it is clear that any words of the emperor cannot be aimless.

Zhao Dongting suddenly asked him what happened at home and abroad recently, which obviously showed some dissatisfaction with his military intelligence department, or distrust.

And just after Wu Lianying left, Zhao Dongting also left the imperial study and went back to the bedroom.

The eunuch in the bedroom took orders and went to the Queen Mother's Palace to invite the Queen Mother to have a meal in the bedroom.

The rain didn't stop.

Inside the palace, pigeons jumped up in the rain and headed towards Yongzhou.

The old eunuch Wu Lianying sat in the yamen of the Military Intelligence Department, drinking and drinking, finally left his seat and kowtowed in the direction of the palace.

Concubine Yang Shu arrived at Zhao Dongting's bedroom.

As soon as he entered the palace, the first thing he did was to visit the pregnant Zhang Ru in his room.

Zhang Ru's stomach is more rounded than before.

Ying'er and Zhao Dongting followed, Ying'er blushed and gently tugged at Zhao Dongting's clothes.

Zhao Dongting smiled knowingly, and whispered in the beauty's ear: "I will take you out of the palace again tonight."

The pretty face of the beauty blushed even more.
