I will never be Renzong

Chapter 44 0044 Betrayal

Tianzhang Pavilion was built in the fifth year of Tianxi reign of Song Zhenzong. In the second year after Tianzhang Pavilion was built, Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng passed away. There are not only portraits of Song Zhenzong in the pavilion, but also portraits of Song Taizu and Song Taizong, as well as Their calligraphy poems, etc.

Before that, there were all kinds of auspicious signs collected by Song Zhenzong, but later all the auspicious signs became Song Zhenzong's funeral objects.

And meeting ministers in Tianzhang Pavilion, asking ministers about imperial borders, military and political affairs, has become the highest standard of treatment for ministers.

At this time, there were only two people in the huge Tianzhang Pavilion.

Tian Xiaoqiu was sitting slumped in front of the bed at this time, his face was gloomy, as if he had already been appointed.

And Zhao Zhen was sitting on the bed, watching Tian Xiaoqiu condescendingly, his heart was very entangled, how to deal with Tian Xiaoqiu, telling Liu E, not only Tian Xiaoqiu would have to be executed, but the Tian clan would also be implicated. Miyonouchi still has to undergo a major cleansing, and I'm afraid it will be another bloodbath.

In Zhao Zhen's heart, it is true that being an emperor requires decisive killing, but this decisive killing is aimed at the political affairs of the court, not a struggle for imperial power in the harem.

"Did you know? I hate being betrayed the most, especially by women!"

After a long time, Zhao Zhen said every word with a ferocious expression.

"If you hadn't been kind to me in saving my life, I would have made it impossible for you to live or die!"

His girlfriend who had been in love for seven years in the previous life finally left him. He is an ordinary person. It is impossible to say that his heart is not hurt, but as a man, when encountering such a thing, he can only smash his teeth Swallow into the stomach.

"The reason why the slave family gave up their lives to save the official family was to become the official's personal maid, so that they can poison the official family!"

Tian Xiaoqiu had a death wish in his heart, instead of accepting Zhao Zhen's affection, he even sprinkled a handful of salt on his wound.

"Do you like Zhao Yunrang?"

Zhao Zhen asked suddenly.

Tian Xiaoqiu didn't answer, but there was a flash of life in the originally dejected eyes.

"Tomorrow I will ask the Empress Dowager to release a group of older maids in the palace. As for those who are slightly better-looking, they will be rewarded to the royal family, and you will be rewarded to Zhao Yunrang, the governor of Weizhou."

Tian Xiaoqiu couldn't help being stunned. She didn't expect that she had committed such a serious crime. Instead of executing her, the officials let her live with her sweetheart. Her originally unhesitating heart suddenly relaxed.

"The slave family. Thanks to the official family for their kindness!"

Tian Xiaoqiu said incoherently.

"Don't be too happy, before you leave the palace and go to Zhao Yunrang's residence, I need you to do an experiment for me!"

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards Liu E's palace.

He is an impatient person, and he wants to cut through some things quickly, and it is best to deal with them as soon as possible.

When I came to the Ciyuan Hall, it happened that the nobleman Liu Lanxiang was also there.

"Is your health feeling better?"

Zhao Zhen hurriedly bowed to Liu E.

"Aijia is old, it's not you young people after all, good health!"

Liu E coughed lightly.

"Well! The weather suddenly turns cold, which can easily cause wind and cold, but when I was free, I always liked to exercise, so this little wind and cold has no effect on me. The aunt should also exercise more when she is free, such as dancing. Dance, go for a walk or something!"

In later generations, square dancing is the favorite thing for those old people and aunts after dinner. In any case, the physical fitness of those old people and aunts who dance square dancing is much better than that of office workers.

"The Ai family is already an old woman, so why would they want to dance? What's more, there are so many political affairs in the court, how can the Ai family have that free time!"

"I suddenly thought of a dance, which is very suitable for physical exercise. I will show it to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady might as well learn it!"

After saying that, Zhao Zhen got up and danced the horse-riding dance that was well-known in his previous life, and both Liu E and Liu Lanxiang were stunned by Zhao Zhen's actions. This dance was really indecent!

Seeing the two of them staring at him dumbfounded, Zhao Zhen immediately stopped in embarrassment, thinking that it would be recorded in the history books of later generations that in a certain year and a certain month, Empress Dowager Liu E danced a horse-riding dance with Emperor Zhao Zhen. It hurts to think about it.

"Official! Are you dancing? This action is too indecent!"

Liu Lanxiang asked softly with a blushing face.

"Yeah! This dance is indeed indecent, I have another one here!"

As he said that, he began to practice Tai Chi again. Of course, his Tai Chi level is definitely an amateur among amateurs, but the movements are a bit nondescript, which made the two of them laugh coquettishly.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Zhen just said: "My eldest lady! My son has not let anyone out of the palace for a long time. Now that the government's finances are not tight, should we let a group of palace people out?"

"The Ai family has already had this idea. Now there are not a few maids in the palace who are over [-] years old. It's time to release a batch, but they are not released casually. Most of these maids are married. How can I make a living if I just let him out at my age!"

After all, Liu E is a woman, and it is not easy to know women, especially single women who are not young.

"Ma'am! My son wants to choose a group of good-looking people to reward the royal family. I wonder if it's possible?"

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen expressed his true inner thoughts.

"Well! This is a way. In the past, when the royal family's children went to the palace to see them, they fell in love with the palace maids, and some of them even asked for it from the Ai family!"

"Ma'am! The maids around the official's house, Huamei and Xiaoqiu, seem to be of the same age, so should they be released as well?"

Liu Lanxiang suddenly said that she is the best at observing words and expressions. Although she has only been with Zhao Zhen for two years, he can clearly feel Zhao Zhen's preferences, but the officials don't even bother to look at those fifteen or sixteen-year-old maids. , and the eyes of the officials are more on those mature and older court ladies.

She is a woman, and although she is best friend with Huamei and Xiaoqiu, she doesn't want one more person to compete with her.

"Huamei expressed her thoughts in front of me, saying that she only wanted to be a palace maid by my side in this life, and I agreed to her, so if she doesn't want to leave the palace, I won't force her. Xiaoqiu is indeed older. , I thought it would be better to reward her to Zhao Yunrang, governor of Weizhou."

Zhao Zhen said lightly.

Although Liu E was very curious about why Zhao Zhen gave his personal maid to Zhao Yunrang, but she was just a maid, she didn't want to refute Zhao Zhen's face, after all, the relationship between mother and son is very important!

And since the incident with Lei Yungong, the official family hadn't talked to her like this for a long time, making her happy.

In the first year of Tiansheng, in March, Zhao Zhen issued an edict to dismiss a group of court ladies and eunuchs who voluntarily left the palace, and selected some outstanding court ladies to reward the royal family on a certain day.

For a time, people inside and outside the capital shouted that the emperor was benevolent.

When the news spread to the palace, Zhao Zhen couldn't help showing a sneer, and said to Huamei who was beside him: "Sister Huamei! Are things arranged?"

"Go back to the official's house! Everything is ready for the slave's house!"

Li Huamei replied respectfully.

"Okay! I'll go in tonight! How can the person who poisoned me be let go like this!"

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Zhen's mouth.
