The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 705
Great heat has just passed.

The golden rice in the rice fields has been harvested, and countless grains are neatly spread out in open spaces among the people.

Almost every village has a "sun-drying flat", and every season, the sun-drying flats in each village will be full of sun-dried millet.At the same time, many scarecrows made of straw were erected.

But this still can't stop the greedy bird.

Fortunately, there was a naughty boy waiting for the rabbit, holding a dustpan with a rope, and when a sparrow ate the grain, he pulled the rope to cover the sparrow inside.

In the past, there were always evil slaves from rich families who yelled at these children and chased away the birds.But this year, there was none.

This is probably the most active year for people to cultivate and harvest in the history of Song Dynasty.

Because the millet harvested this year is all their own, not just doing work for the main households like before.

In the fields, laughter continued.

The officials of the Ministry of Agriculture from all over the Song Dynasty chose to go to the folks to watch the harvest situation in the country at this time, and they were also overjoyed.

In the end, good food can only be grown with hard work. This year's harvest, except for Guangnan West Road, which has already been divided, the rest of the roads are much more fruitful than in previous years.

Come to think of it, as long as the taxes are successfully collected, the Imperial Grain Depository should be able to accumulate surplus grain this year.

The chief officials of the Ministry of Agriculture in various places recorded the highest yield per mu of each household, and then reported it layer by layer.It spread to the county, to the city, then to the county, and finally to the imperial city.

Farmers from each county were selected first and posted on the list next to the city gate. Farmers who won this honor soon became famous throughout the county.

After that, the agricultural experts selected by each state became more household names.

The emperor's decree was soon issued to all states and counties, and farmers from all over the country were invited to enter the palace to discuss farming experience.

This has kept those farmers who have never even met the Ninth Grade Sesame Officer in their life so shocked that they can't sleep at night.

In the past, the emperor only said that only the agricultural leaders in the country had the opportunity to face the saint.Now I don't know why I changed my mind again.

All the counties have arranged elite soldiers to escort these farming warriors into the imperial city after the seeds are planted.

The Imperial Palace in Changsha City.

Eunuch Liu, who delivered the decree to Yongzhou, rushed back.

As soon as he returned to the imperial city, he hurried towards the imperial study.

The emperor was not in the imperial study, so he hurried to the backyard of the emperor's bedroom.

Zhao Dongting was walking with Zhang Ru in the yard, and Ying Er was beside him.

Another great joy.

It has been more than half a year since Zhang Ru became pregnant.Now Yinger is finally pregnant.

Her menstrual period has not yet arrived, and she has been seen by Imperial Physician An, and it is definitely a happy pulse.

During this period of time, Zhao Dongting and Yinger went outside the palace to "steal fish" whenever they had the opportunity, and all these painstaking efforts were not in vain.

Looking at the satisfied smiles on the faces of the two girls, Zhao Dongting felt warm in his heart.Just looking forward to these two little guys being born.

Whether it's male or female, it's fine.

As long as he is fertile, it is enough to reassure Chao Wenwu and Concubine Yang Shu, so there is no rush to get a prince out.

It's just that Zhao Dongting is also puzzled at this time, why he can't conceive with Ying Er in the palace, but why she can conceive a child so easily outside the palace.

Could it be that there is something wrong in the palace?
Zhao Dongting had been seen by Imperial Physician An and many other imperial physicians, but they couldn't see any clues.Now, envoys have been sent to Hengshan to invite Zhang Tianshi and others.

"emperor."

Eunuch Liu appeared at the gate of the courtyard and knelt down slowly.

Zhao Dongting turned his head to look over, and said with a smile, "Your father-in-law is exempt."

Then he let go of Yinger and Zhang Ru's hands, walked in front of Eunuch Liu, walked out of the courtyard, and asked softly, "How does King Guang answer?"

Eunuch Liu followed behind Zhao Dongting, step by step, and replied: "His Royal Highness Guang said that he is ill, and he will come to the palace to visit the emperor and empress dowager after a while."

Zhao Dongting paused slightly, "Then what happened when he received the order?"

Eunuch Liu said: "His Royal Highness is quite indifferent to this old slave, nothing unusual, but entrusted this old minister to plead guilty to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager on his behalf."

"Oh……"

Zhao Dongting responded softly when he heard the words, and tapped his forehead with his right hand, "I understand, the father-in-law is running around, it's hard work, let's go down and rest first!"

Eunuch Liu stopped talking, and slowly backed away.

Zhao Dongting paced and continued to move forward, but in the end he arrived outside Concubine Yang Shu's bedroom.

Since Yang Yidong's death, she ate fast and worshiped the Buddha, which can be regarded as living in a simple way.Standing outside the courtyard, it seems that you can feel the coldness inside.

Zhao Dongting once asked Concubine Yang Shu to move to live in his dormitory, at least Ying Er and Zhang Ru Neng were with her, but Concubine Yang Shu refused.

There were eunuchs waiting at the door, and Zhao Dongting, who was wearing a dragon robe, quickly knelt down and saluted.

Zhao Dongting walked towards the yard.

Then a eunuch raised his voice and shouted: "The emperor is here."

There were eunuchs and maids kneeling on the ground in the yard, but Concubine Yang Shu was nowhere to be seen.

Zhao Dongting walked out of the quiet room where Concubine Yang Shu worshiped the Buddha with ease, and wanted to open the door and walk in, but his hands suddenly froze in the air.

Listening to the soft chanting voice inside, he sighed softly, and said to the inside: "Mother, my child has something to tell you."

The sound of chanting in the quiet room dissipated, and Concubine Yang Shu's voice came out, "Come in!"

"This issue……"

Zhao Dongting didn't push the door open, just said: "It's not suitable to talk in the Buddhist hall."

Soon, the door of the quiet room was opened, and Concubine Yang Shu came out with a look of worry in her eyes, "Could it be something unknown?"

Zhao Dongting took Concubine Yang Shu's hand and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, his eyes swept over the maids and eunuchs in the courtyard.

The maids and eunuchs all hurriedly retreated.

Concubine Yang Shu's pretty face frowned slightly, "What's going on?"

Zhao Dongting said: "What does mother think of Brother Bing?"

Concubine Yang Shu didn't think much, and replied: "Bing'er has read a lot of poetry and books, is humble and polite, abides by etiquette, and is a good boy. Why did you suddenly ask this?"

Zhao Dongting hesitated to speak for a few times, and finally said: "I got the news that some important people from the middle of Sichuan have entered Guang Wang's mansion. Moreover, Chen Yizhong is also in Guang Wang's mansion."

Concubine Yang Shu opened her red lips slightly, and said in surprise: "Could it be that they want to persecute Bing'er again?"

Zhao Dongting shook his head, "That's not the case. You know that the boy founded the Military Intelligence Department, and later, the boy created Skynet. This news came from Skynet. Mother still remembers that boy asked you Wu Lianying Wu It’s a matter of father-in-law. As the chief of the Military Intelligence Department, Eunuch Wu is quite protective of Brother Bing! In the past, Brother Bing recruited the devil Xie Lisan, and this matter that important people in Sichuan approached Brother Bing, he did not report it to the boy. .”

Concubine Yang Shu's eyes shook violently, and her pretty face changed color.

She was not an ordinary woman, so she knew what this might mean.

It is already extremely taboo for the dignified prince and the head of the court's military intelligence department to collude with each other.

But she still just said: "With Bing'er's temper, he probably wouldn't do such things, would he?"

Zhao Dongting sighed when he heard the words, "I hope so too. But this time, my boy asked Eunuch Liu to pass the decree to Yongzhou, and King Xuanguang brought his family to visit you in the palace, but King Guang shirked it because he was ill..."

Concubine Yang Shu's eyes were fixed, and she was silent for a long time.

If it weren't for the ghosts in his heart, Zhao Bing should never shirk like this.Moreover, even if it is said that the government is busy, it is definitely much more convincing than the reason of such a health problem.

After the silence, Concubine Yang Shu said: "Then your Majesty, are you planning to tell King Guang..."

"Try again..."

Zhao Dongting sighed: "My boy never wants to fight with the Guangwang brothers. But in this world, it is not easy for a boy to be defeated, and it is even more difficult now that there is a peaceful and prosperous world looming. No one can hinder the development of the country."

Concubine Yang Shu closed her eyes, with two drops of clear tears streaming down her face, "If possible, save his life. In the Zhao family, only you and him are left."

After finishing speaking, he got up and walked towards the Buddhist hall.

It's just the back view, but it looks more and more lonely, like a white lotus swaying in the wind.

Zhao Dongting watched Concubine Yang Shu walk back into the Buddhist hall, so he also got up and walked out of the courtyard.

I came to see Concubine Yang Shu just to make Concubine Yang Shu mentally prepared.But this kind of sadness is always unavoidable.

After all, Zhao Bing was brought up by Concubine Yang Shu.

Tiger poison does not eat children.

In the entire Song Dynasty, the one who was most reluctant to see Zhao Bing go astray was undoubtedly the empress dowager.

On this day, a carrier pigeon took Zhao Dongting's secret letter to Lingfang County, the main residence of Pennsylvania, which is adjacent to Yongzhou.
