Great Zhou Empire: Kill Zhao Kuangyin at the beginning

Chapter 33 Zhao Kuangyi (Special thanks to book friend Xiaowazi Gagaga for his monthly ticket!)

After Han Hui, Zhang Yong and others exited the Huangyi Palace, Chai Zongxun, surrounded by eunuchs and maids, walked to the Baoci Palace where his mother lived.

While walking on the road, Chai Zongxun thought to himself:
"This time Han Hui, Zhang Yong and others went to various places in my Zhou Dynasty to do business. The governors of these places were quite well-informed and they all sent food and carriages to please me. After all, these warriors only have a few thousand troops. There is simply not enough to see in front of my imperial army!
These local military governors and bureaucratic tyrants have tried their best to absorb the people's wealth and live a life of luxury and lust. This is also a major reason for the hardship of the people of my great Zhou Dynasty. I will deal with them sooner or later!

Just not now. "

Chai Zongxun thought again:
"My mother has always wanted me to marry my cousin as the queen. This time I brought Miss Wu Chaolu, whom Zhang Yong rescued from Jinzhou, into the palace. I'm afraid my mother won't like it.

Miss Chaolu's life experience is so pitiful. I can't let her suffer any more injustice. I must find a way to convince the queen. "

In the time it took to have a cup of tea, Bao Ci Palace had arrived, and Empress Dowager Fu was sitting in the palace drinking tea.

After the ceremony, Chai Zongxun told his mother about bringing Zhang Yong, Han Hui and others back to the orphans today.

Chai Zongxun said:

"Mother, since the war in the late Tang Dynasty, there have been wars and killings in various places. There are many orphans who have lost their parents. It is very pitiful.

Nowadays, since the new policies of water conservancy and "night market", we have sufficient wealth and food, so our son-in-law ordered Zhang Yong, Han Hui and others to collect orphans from the country and take care of them. "

Empress Dowager Fu was a kind-hearted person, and she knew that under the new policy of the emperor Chai Zongxun, the treasury tax revenue and grain collection could be greatly increased, so she immediately nodded and said:

"Your Majesty has a kind heart and takes care of these orphans. Such a compassionate act will surely help me, the great Zhou Dynasty, to receive God's protection!

Your Majesty, the Queen Mother just heard that my son has admitted a stunning girl into the palace. I wonder if this is the case?
Your Majesty, you are still young now. If you just call this girl into the palace as a companion, that's fine. If you want to take her into the palace as a concubine in the future, isn't it a bit too early? "

Chai Zongxun told the Empress Dowager Fu in detail about Wu Chaolu's life story.

Chai Zongxun smiled and said:
"Mother, don't worry!
Although my son and I like Wu Chaolu, who is such a stunning beauty in the world, my cousin is gentle and charming, so she is my choice for the country.

The queen's mother wanted her cousin to be his queen, but the son knew it and would never disappoint his mother. "

When Empress Dowager Fu heard this, she was delighted. She did not expect that although the emperor was young, he would be so reasonable and considerate.

Queen Mother Fu smiled and said: "That's good! My son values ​​love and righteousness, and my mother will feel relieved.

My grandpa's family was loyal to our imperial family during the "Battle of Xingzhou", and your cousin Zhen'er often talked about you, the emperor's cousin, in Tianxiong Jiedushi's house.

Your Majesty, although you have brought more than 300,000 orphans from all over the country to the capital to take care of them, you must not let down your guard by thinking that they are young and lonely.

You must be careful about the security of this guard. "

Chai Zongxunzhi learned that his mother was going to the city gate from the palace in person this afternoon. Worried about his own safety, he nodded and said:

"My son, I will bear in mind the teachings of my mother. I must send more manpower to protect the safety and conduct more inspections."

After sitting for a while, Chai Zongxun asked nervously:

"Mother, do you have any clues about my aunt's remarriage that I asked you to ask?"

It has been half a year since Zhao Kuangyin and his party were executed and Zhao Kuangyi was imprisoned at the end of last year. Delaying the decision for a long time is not an option.

Empress Dowager Fu sighed and said somewhat awkwardly:

"Your Majesty, your method is excellent. It can kill Zhao Kuangyi, the remnant of the traitor, and find a good husband for your aunt.

But maybe your aunt was fed some kind of ecstasy by Zhao Kuangyi? The queen mother summoned your aunt to the palace many times, and each time she persuaded her to remarry Li Shoujie, the son of Zhaoyi Jiedushi Li Jun, who was chosen by the emperor. However, your aunt refused, and instead begged the queen many times to allow her to go to Tianlao. Visit Zhao Kuangyi.

Alas, Your Majesty, my mother also feels that she has nothing to do with your aunt.

My elder sister, Queen Xuanyi, has passed away, and now my aunt is the only sister behind my mother's throne. Your Majesty, if it doesn't work, let's spare Zhao Kuangyi's life!

I'm sorry that he is the only one left in Zhao Ni's party, what can he do? Moreover, he surrendered from the beginning of the emperor's execution of Zhao's rebel party, which can be regarded as a sincere repentance. "

Chai Zongxun was shocked. He didn't expect that his mother did not persuade his aunt to remarry successfully, but she was persuaded by her aunt to forgive Zhao Kuangyi.

Even when Zhao Kuangyi was in jail, this man was still able to make his aunt Fu Jinding give up on him. This shows that Zhao Kuangyi's ability to confuse people is truly terrifying.

Chai Zongxun muttered:

"Mother, this must not be done. I and many ministers in the court believe that Zhao Kuangyi is scheming and sinister. He is the real mastermind of Zhao Ni's party and we must not keep him!"
The queen mother does not need to worry about this matter, she can just leave it to her sons to deal with it in the future. "

Queen Mother Fu nodded in agreement.

Chai Zongxun picked out some interesting things that happened when Zhang Yong and others were traveling to various state capitals, and told his mother about them.

Seeing his mother, the queen burst into laughter. Chai Zongxun sat there for a while and stood up to leave.

All the way back to Qingshou Hall, I was thinking about how to convince my aunt Fu Jindingzhong.

Seeing that Tang Qi, the chief eunuch in front of the palace, was waiting in front of the palace gate to greet him, Chai Zongxun suddenly thought of the Fifth Chaolu and forgot about everything.

Chai Zongxun asked:
"Mr. Tang, where is Miss Chaolu?"

Tang Qi hurriedly saluted and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have placed Miss Chaolu in Changchun Palace in the harem according to Your Majesty's will."

Chai Zongxun sat down in the Qingshou Hall. After thinking for a moment, he felt that it was not appropriate for Wu Chaolu to move into the harem without any status, and said:
"Go and invite Miss Chaolu."

Tang Qizhi knew that Chai Zongxun was worried about Wu Chaolu, so he immediately left the Qingshou Hall in person to invite Wu Chaolu to come.

After a while, Wu Chaolu, accompanied by Tang Qi and other eunuchs and palace maids, walked into the Qingshou Palace, saluted Chai Zongxun and said:
"On the fifth day of the morning, I will see you, your majesty! Long live my emperor!"

Chai Zongxun looked at Fifth Chaolu for a few times and was overjoyed. He quickly stepped down from the golden throne, stretched out his hand to help Fifth Chaolu, and said:

"Miss Chaolu, please sit down! I have heard Zhang Du Yuhou talk about your life experience.

Don't worry, I will love you even more from now on and won't let you suffer any further grievances. "

After all, Wu Chaolu was still young. When he was in Jinzhou Jiedushi's mansion, he was taught the emperor's etiquette by the maids in the mansion. But now he doesn't understand love. Naturally, he doesn't understand the meaning of Chai Zong's words. He only knows that Emperor Chai Zong's words are good to him. Take care of yourself.

After the two sat down, they started chatting. Chai Zongxun's soul that had traveled through time more than a thousand years later made the Fifth Dynasty Lu feel like a spring breeze, and they had a great time chatting with each other.

Chai Zongxun smiled and said:
"Miss Chaolu, I am quite lonely in the palace. From now on, you will be my personal maid and serve me, okay?"
When we grow up in the future, I will take you into the harem. "

When Tang Qi and others around him heard this, they were all envious when they saw that the emperor was so kind to Wu Chaolu.

Unexpectedly, the Fifth Chaolu said:
"Your Majesty, are palace maids also maids who serve people? That slave will not do it even to his death!"
