I will never be Renzong

Chapter 131 Liu E's Jade

"Officials! The soldiers and horses of each legion have been reorganized, and they will go to various roads to suppress bandits, mainly with light infantry. A total of 12 horses will be dispatched, 6000 people on each road, a total of [-] roads, waiting for the official order! "

In Chongzheng Hall, Wang Deyong paid homage to Zhao Zhen.

"Well! It's just the beginning of September, and I've given them three months to suppress the bandits. I hope they can come back by the end of the year! By the way, according to my decree, all bandit suppressing troops must not disturb the people. If they dare to commit adultery Offenders will be severely punished according to the law, this point must be communicated to the generals at all levels! Do you understand?"

"Please rest assured, the general has set up a pre-war military judiciary and sent personnel to follow all walks of life to suppress the bandits. If anyone dares to attack innocent people and pretend to be a military leader, the general will be punished severely!"

Wang Deyong paid homage.

"Since that's the case! I'm relieved! Pass on my order, and all bandit suppressing armies will set off immediately! There must be no mistakes!"

In the past, whenever the New Year came to an end in the Song Dynasty, all roads were infested with bandits. This year, Zhao Zhen abolished a large number of the Forbidden Army and the Xiang Army. Presumably, except for the Jingdong Road where the bandits were suppressed before, the bandit troubles in other areas will become more serious. Therefore, taking advantage of the cold weather, Before winter came, soldiers and horses were dispatched to various places to suppress bandits. This bandit suppression was mainly focused on the strategic locations of Hebei Road, Hedong Road, and Shaanxi Road, and was supplemented by other roads.

Due to the complicated sources of soldiers in the Song Dynasty, whenever the court suppressed bandits, there were also soldiers who committed crimes and even killed ordinary people and then pretended to be the black sheep of bandits. Therefore, when reorganizing the new army, what Zhao Zhen valued most was the rectification of military discipline. , An iron-clad army must have strict military discipline, so as not to take a single stitch from the people.

Although the Military Jurisdiction Department was established, Zhao Zhen is still worried, because no one can guarantee whether the people in the Military Jurisdiction Department will be bribed. It was reported that he was asked to send Jin Yiwei to secretly supervise the actions of all bandit suppressing troops.

The two-pronged approach of the Military Justice Department and Jin Yiwei must be able to play a large enough deterrent effect.

After finishing the work at hand, Zhao Zhen originally wanted to go out of the palace to find Shen Moran, and wanted to discuss with her about the large-scale cotton planting funded by the Royal Chamber of Commerce. If the cotton coat, cotton hat and cotton boots can be developed, then even in the cold winter , The Song Dynasty was also able to launch wars calmly.

But unexpectedly, a palace maid next to Liu E came to report: "Officials! The Queen Mother sent an oral order asking the officials to go to Ciyuan Hall! She said that she has something to discuss with the officials!"

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen had no choice but to drive to the Hall of Ciyuan. Since he lifted Liu E's house arrest, Liu E's life has been enjoying a good life. Apart from being unable to leave the palace, Zhao Zhen did not treat her too much. Many restrictions.

"My son greets the eldest lady!"

Zhao Zhen came to the Hall of Ciyuan and saw the talented Liu Lanxiang telling Liu E the first four episodes of the Dream of the Red Chamber, and Liu E listened with great interest.

"The official is here! Please do it!"

Liu E suddenly revealed a long-lost smile.

"Thank you, Ma'am! I heard that Madam has something to summon me. I don't know what it is?"

Zhao Zhen asked with a smile.

"Official family! The Ai family is old and wants to have a grandson, but although there are many concubines in the official family, there is still no good news. It can be soaked in rain and dew! It will spread the branches and leaves for my royal family as soon as possible!"

Liu E said lightly.

"Ma'am! My son knows it!"

Concubine Yang also approached Zhao Zhen about this matter before, but Zhao Zhen just agreed, and it was his business whether to do it or not.

"The Ai family heard that if the concubines in the harem remain childless, they will choose the sons of the clan to raise them in the palace. There will be happy events in the palace in the coming year. What do the officials think?"

Liu E said in a nonchalant manner.

Zhao Zhen couldn't figure out what Liu E meant for a while, so he asked, "I don't know whose child the aunt is raising under her knees!"

Seeing this, Liu E said: "In the early years, Liu Congde was the nephew of the Ai family, and he was very respected by the Ai family. Later, he died for the country at a young age, leaving orphans and widowers. The Ai family wanted to take Cong De's son. Liu Yongnian entered the palace and was raised at the knees of Ai's family, what do the officials think?"

Zhao Zhen was dumbfounded immediately, and didn't understand what kind of magical operation Liu E was doing. You must know that Liu Yongnian was his son. Although he wanted to keep Liu Yongnian by his side, he couldn't find an excuse, so he had to give up. It's great to make this request.

"Uncle Anyuan Liu Congde is a loyal minister of the imperial court, and even my cousin. His son was raised under the aunt's knees. I think others can't say anything, but Liu Yongnian is still young, so why not let his mother, Mrs. Qi Guo, live with him? Ciyuan Hall can also take care of the daily life of the eldest lady, eldest lady, let’s see if my arrangement is appropriate!”

Zhao Zhen went to the Liu family for a private visit incognito last time. He wanted to take a look at his son, but he didn't because Wang Xiang'er took his son to the Daxiangguo Temple to pray for blessings.

"En! That's fine, Liu Cairen is the concubine of the official family, and it's my duty to serve the official family. He can always serve my old lady in the Ciyuan Hall!"

Liu E said to Zhao Zhen.

"Lan Xiang! That's the case! After Mrs. Qi Guo enters the palace, you can move back to the original pavilion!"

Zhao Zhen said to Liu Lanxiang.

In the Hall of Funing, Zhao Zhen sat on the grand master's chair, looked at Liu Lanxiang who was standing beside him, and suddenly asked, "Lan Xiang! Do you know why the aunt suddenly wants to take Uncle An Yuan's son by her side?"

"Go back to the official's house! Lan Xiang doesn't know!"

Liu Lanxiang hurriedly replied.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen got up and walked to Liu Lanxiang's side, held her chin with his hand and said, "Look at me! Say it again!"

Liu Lanxiang glanced at Zhao Zhen's cold eyes, suddenly knelt on the ground and cried: "The officials should not embarrass Lan Xiang, Lan Xiang really doesn't know!"

"Get up for me!"

Zhao Zhen looked at Liu Lanxiang who was kneeling on the ground and reprimanded loudly.

After Zhao Zhen's words fell, Liu Lanxiang did not obey the order, but still knelt there and sobbed non-stop.

"Cry Maoxian, cry! I'm not dead yet!"

Zhao Zhen was suddenly furious, and suddenly lifted Liu Lanxiang up from the ground, then pushed her down on his lap, pressed her upper body with his left hand, and landed there with his right hand without mercy.

"Clap clap clap~"

The sound of Zhao Zhen's slap after slap sounded.

"Still crying or not~"

Zhao Zhen said while typing.

"Officials! Don't hit me! I know I was wrong!"

A burst of pain came, and Liu Lanxiang was in pain and shy, blushing, clenching her teeth, and said softly.

"Say! Whose woman are you?"

Zhao Zhen suddenly slapped him again.

"~Ah~ The slave family is naturally an official woman!"

Liu Lanxiang hurriedly replied.

"Since you are my woman, you must listen to me! Treat your husband as a strong man!"

Zhao Zhen asked again.

"Yes! The official family is the slave family's heaven and the slave family's land. The slave family will never dare to disobey the official family's orders!"

Liu Lanxiang said aggrievedly.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen let go of his left hand,
"In that case, show me a smile!"

Zhao Zhen looked at Liu Lanxiang who was standing in front of him with his hands behind his back and said coldly.

Seeing this, Liu Lanxiang quickly wiped away her tears, and showed Zhao Zhen a smile uglier than crying.

"Go! Pour me a cup of tea!"

Zhao Zhen seemed to be addicted to playing, and slapped the beauty's plump place again.

"Ah~"

Liu Lanxiang ate a pain and hurriedly exclaimed, then limped towards the table not far away, leaving Zhao Zhen with a mature and charming back.

Liu Lanxiang poured a cup of tea carefully, and when she was about to turn around, she was suddenly pinned down by Zhao Zhen from behind, and the teacup flew out and shattered~
Huamei, who was on duty outside, heard the sound and thought that there was something wrong with the official's house, so she hurried towards the inside, but as soon as she reached the outer hall, she heard an unbearable sound coming from inside, so she hurriedly stopped and turned around. left.

An hour later, on a luxurious and huge dragon bed, Zhao Zhen was very happy with Liu Lanxiang, who was hugging pear blossoms and raining rain.

"Lan Xiang! Why are you crying, did I hurt you just now?"

Zhao Zhen reached out to wipe away Liu Lanxiang's tears.

"Official family! Lan Xiang never expected that Lan Xiang would be favored by the official family again despite her guilt. Lan Xiang has nothing to repay for such kindness!"

Liu Lanxiang said emotionally.

Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lan Xiang! Do you know? When you chose the queen mother between the queen mother and me, it hurt me a lot, because you were the first woman I came to this world, so Your position in my heart cannot be replaced by others, but what I hate the most is being betrayed by others, but even so, I am still reluctant to execute you! Because I found out that you have unknowingly occupied my heart !"

"The official family! It was Lan Xiang who failed the official family's love back then, but now Lan Xiang doesn't ask for anything but to be by the official family's side!"

Liu Lanxiang said softly, she was on the wrong team at the beginning, if it weren't for the officials still nostalgic, she might have been expelled from the palace long ago, now that she has this opportunity again, she must seize it well.

"Why do you think the Empress Dowager raised An Yuanbo's son in the palace?"

Zhao Zhen asked suddenly.

"Guan Jia! Ever since the novel "A Dream of Red Mansions" came out, the Queen Mother has loved it very much and asked me to read it several times almost every day. Moreover, the Queen Mother loves Jia Baoyu in the book very much and has been reciting it silently when she How can I have a grandson like Jia Baoyu? I wonder if the Queen Mother wants to raise An Yuanbo’s son as Jia Baoyu?”

Liu Lanxiang told Zhao Zhen all the guesses in her heart, because her body and mind were completely captured by Zhao Zhen.

"That's right! That's a good thing!"

Emotional Liu E is too involved in the play and wants to be Jia's mother again!It’s just that the dream of Red Mansions has only been serialized to the fourth chapter. If Liu E knew the final ending of Jia’s mother, he might not have done so. mother and child.

"Officials! What Lan Xiang said is true. The queen mother is really different from before. Lan Xiang has served the queen mother for so long. Lan Xiang can see what the queen mother does, even though the queen mother ignores the officials on the surface. I don’t pay attention, but in private, Lan Xiang often sees the Queen Mother praying for the official family and the Song Dynasty in front of the Bodhisattva!"

Liu Lanxiang was afraid that Zhao Zhen wouldn't believe it, so she quickly added.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while, now that he has military power and financial power, he really has nothing to be afraid of. As for those civil servants, he has plenty of time to play with them. Besides, without them, his Being an emperor is actually a little simpler.

"Lan Xiang! Do you want to give birth to me?"

Zhao Zhen suddenly looked down at Liu Lanxiang in his arms and asked.

"Think! Lanxiang wants to give birth to a child for the official family all the time!"

There are no fools in women who enter the palace. Liu Lanxiang was the first to be favored, but she could never get pregnant. She had long known in her heart that the officials had tampered with it, but she did not dare to say it out and could only bear it silently. This is why Zhao Zhen forced the palace. One of the reasons why she chose to help Liu E.

"Since the beauty has such a request, I will be disrespectful!"

Zhao Zhen turned over and pressed the beauty under him again~
The ancient god of harmony suddenly arrived, so I will omit [-] words here.

The next day, after the dynasty was over, Zhao Zhen planned to leave the palace, but he didn't want Liu Ye, the left servant of the household department, to ask for an audience suddenly. Zhao Zhen thought it was something undecided by the household department, so he was busy meeting Liu Ye in the Chongzheng Palace, but he never thought, What Liu Ye handed him was a letter from Ding Wei.

After Ding Wei was demoted to Leizhou, he was demoted to Yazhou to join the army because of the affair with a nun, which is the southernmost state of Hainan Island. Naturally, he was not reconciled to the end of his official career, so he was always thinking about returning to the imperial court. Comeback.

After two years of hard work in Yazhou, Ding Wei felt that the time was almost up, so he asked someone to send a letter to Liu Ye, asking him to pass it on to his family, but this book was neither for his family nor for his family. Liu Ye wanted to read it, but wanted to present it to Zhao Zhen through Liu Ye, so Ding told the person who sent the letter to deliver the letter to Liu Ye in front of everyone.

It just so happened that Liu Ye's mother celebrated her [-]th birthday and rented a house in Shangqing Palace to hold a banquet, and the messenger delivered the letter to Liu Ye face to face on the birthday.

Liu Ye received a letter from such a heavyweight criminal in full public view, and his only choice was to hand it over to the officials intact.

It has to be said that the officials of the Song Dynasty have two brushes. Ding said that this so-called family letter is actually a letter of repentance. It not only expresses his deep introspection, but also earnestly warns his family members not to resent the court's punishment.

In the official history, Song Renzong couldn't help feeling compassionate after reading Ding Wei's letter, so he disregarded the objections of the ministers and moved Ding Wei from Yazhou to Leizhou Sihu to join the army. Five years later, Ding Wei was dispatched At one o'clock, he returned to the court and made a comeback.

But will Zhao Zhen give him a chance to make a comeback now?Now that Zhao Zhen has not decided on a candidate for the position of prime minister in the imperial court, if he replaces Ding Wei and returns to the capital, Ding Wei will definitely be grateful to him, but it will inevitably arouse opposition from the ministers of the court, which is not cost-effective.

A treacherous official has the usage of a traitorous official, so Zhao Zhen personally wrote back a letter to Ding Wei, asking him to investigate the intelligence of the Jiaozhi Kingdom, and to find a way for him to provoke a fight between the four sons of the Jiaozhi King Li Gongyun, and Zhao Zhen sent a letter to Ding Wei. Zhen's reward for him is to forget the past and reuse him once things are done.

Li Gongyun was originally a minister of the Li Dynasty in the former Jiaozhi Kingdom. He served as the commander in front of the Zuo Qinwei Palace and was given the surname Li. In 1009, civil strife broke out in the former Li Dynasty, Li Gongyun seized the opportunity to seize the throne and established the Yue Li Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen did some calculations. Li Gongyun had been in flames for a few years, and his four sons were all eyeing the throne. In fact, after Li Gongyun died, the prince Li Foma succeeded to the throne, and the other three brothers refused to accept it and launched an armed rebellion. If the Song Dynasty can seize this opportunity, then it will be able to accomplish a lot by then.
