Dragon Queen

After a sleepless night, Zhao Zhouxing woke up early the next morning, summoned the palace servants to wash up, led a team of guards, and personally sent Zhezhu to the outside of the city.

Zheng Fuhai was holding a lacquered wooden plate covered with bright yellow brocade.Zhao Zhouxing picked up the glass of wine on the plate and said to Zhezhu, "It's safe to go here."

Zhezhu took another glass of wine, only to realize that it was just a glass of plain water after drinking it.Zhezhu didn't say much, he tossed a cup with Zhao Zhouxing, "It will be a triumphant return." After saying that, he turned his horse's head, led the mighty people, and left without looking back.

Looking at Zhezhu's back, Zhao Zhouxing suddenly laughed for some reason.

Zheng Fuhai saw that her complexion was different, he hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Why is the emperor laughing?"

Zhao Zhouxing gradually stopped laughing, "Laugh at myself."

Zheng Fuhai opened his mouth, but finally did not dare to continue asking.

Zhao Zhouxing looked at the sky, asked the time, and realized that there was still some time before the morning court, so he let go of the reins and walked back slowly.

A sleepless night is full of thoughts.Zhao Zhouxing turned over and over again, and finally came up with four words: self-proclaimed passion.

I checked again this morning, and it really answered my guess.There is no need to say much about him.

The horses are walking, and the hooves are knocking on the official road where the four horses ride together, just like stepping on Zhao Zhouxing's heart, ups and downs with the rhythm of the heart.

Zheng Fuhai followed beside him, and he had already noticed that Zhao Zhouxing was wrong, but he just followed with his head down, watching his nose and not knowing what to do.

Back in the palace, Zhao Zhouxing changed into his court clothes again, before going to court, he suddenly asked: "Is it time for Zhongshu servant Bai Yao to come back?"

Before Zhao Zhouxing left Beijing, he gave Zhongshu servant Bai Yao the title of inspector in the south of the Yangtze River, and sent him to Suzhou and Hangzhou for inspection.

Zheng Fuhai had heard about this, so Zhao Zhouxing asked at this time, thinking that it was time for Lord Bai to come back.

Zheng Fuhai paused slightly, and replied: "If the emperor sends Mr. Bai out of Beijing to do business, then he will have to look somewhere."

Zhao Zhouxing muttered about the day in his heart, and said casually, "It's been a few days."

After finishing speaking, we entered the Chongde Hall.

All the officials knelt down and shouted three times long live.

"If you have something to report, if you have nothing to go back to the court—"

It wasn't until Zheng Fuhai finished speaking that Wen Xiuming, the chancellor on the right, said, "Your minister has played."

"Quite." Zhao Zhouxing frowned and suppressed a yawn.

Before Wen Xiuming could say anything, he was agitated by this frown, but after thinking about it, the war has been tense recently, the emperor was probably thinking about it, so he suppressed all the doubts in his mind, and explained what he said.

It's already November, Zhao Zhouxing thought, at this time, Xia Hong's spring hunger is over, so there should be nothing to do.But... the snow fell very early this year, and I'm afraid it will not be a good year.

Sure enough, Wen Xiuming made a series of long speeches, saying all kinds of things, all of which are that this year's snowstorm has blocked roads and froze people, livestock, horses and cattle to death, especially in Yongzhou.

Yongzhou government please allocate 500 million taels of relief money to relieve the victims.

"Five million taels." This amount is not too small, Zhao Zhouxing looked at Ji Zhengqing, "Ji Qing thinks, besides appropriating disaster funds, what else needs to be done?"

Ji Zhengqing glanced at the Prime Minister on the right, and said, "I think that 500 million taels is not a small amount. It is better to send someone to escort you all the way, and you can reach the disaster area faster."

Wen Xiuming frowned, "Ji Xiang, there are less than [-] defenders in the city, so maybe there is something wrong with this?"

Just as Ji Zhengqing was about to refute, Zhao Zhouxing had already spoken, "What Wen Qing said is true. We will allocate 500 million taels of disaster relief money to reduce or exempt local taxes next year. This matter will be handed over to Wen Qing to supervise."

"Observe the order." Wen Xiuming was proud of himself, and looked at Ji Zhengqing provocatively.Ji Zhengqing ignored him.

After retiring from the court, Zhao Zhouxing changed into casual clothes, prepared horses, and went to a temple in the south of the city.

Liu Ting is in Beijing, so he lives here temporarily.Zhao Zhouxing originally wanted her to live in a palace outside the city, but after careful consideration, something was wrong, so he suppressed his thoughts.The purpose of going this time is to send an envoy to the Western Jin Dynasty.

Zhao, Jin, Liang, Zhao, Liang, and Jin are all in the north, bordering each other, and adjacent to Zhao.In terms of vertical integration, the three countries can form alliances on their own.Beiliang moved southward in a big way. Although it did not send troops with the Western Jin Dynasty, there was no movement from the Western Jin Dynasty, and there may be some exchanges between the two countries.Otherwise, at this time, the military strength in Beiliang Kingdom is empty, and it is not impossible to take advantage of the vacancy.

When Zhao Zhouxing arrived, the Taoist priest in the temple told her that Liu Ting had gone out this morning.

Zhao Zhouxing waited until late at night, during which time he was very interested in talking about the Tao with the Taoist priest.At the top of the moon, Liu Ting finally came back.

Zhao Zhouxing exchanged a few words with her, explaining the mission.

The lanterns were crackling and dancing in the castor oil, Liu Ting thought for a long time, and replied: "Since Your Highness has a request, I shall answer it. But I hope Your Highness understands one thing."

"please say."

"You shouldn't worry too much when you get along with people. Kindness is a bargaining chip to take advantage of, so why should your Highness be in such a difficult situation? You must know that in buying and selling, you get both money and goods. Your Highness is now the emperor. Some things, it is better to be less emotional "Liu Ting got up, "I will leave in a few days, Your Highness can go back earlier."

——It should be noted that in buying and selling, money and goods are equal.

Zhao Zhouxing repeated these two sentences in his mind, and he did not enter the palace after returning, but turned back to Jintian Temple.

Wen Renhe was watching the stars and divination on the stage. When Zhao Zhouxing came, he was stopped by two boys.While drinking her tea, she was thinking that everything is not going well today and she has to wait wherever she goes.

Wen Renhe knew what she was thinking, and while burning incense and cleaning his hands, he said: "Your Majesty, I have heard a saying among the people that a good meal is not afraid of being late."

Zhao Zhouxing was really dissatisfied with Wen Renhe's unsalty, neither bland, unhurried tone, "There is no good food in the Jintian Temple of the National Teacher."

Wen Renhe was not annoyed, "Why is Your Majesty bothered?"

Zhao Zhouxing repeated Liu Ting's words, "There are polite and virtuous corporals in the predecessors, so it can be seen that making friends with others is not just for business. But... Treating each other with courtesy in exchange for loyalty is also a business? Although I have solved a problem It’s a big deal, but it’s even more troublesome in my heart. It’s right to say it, and it’s wrong to say it’s wrong.”

Wen Renhe sat down opposite Zhao Zhouxing, picked up the teacup and blew gently, and a few green leaves swayed gently, "I remember that I once asked your majesty what kind of person you think I am. In your majesty's mind, I may be a man with a long life span The old monster of the year, but does His Majesty really think so?"

Zhao Zhouxing didn't even blink his eyes, "It's true."

Wen Renhe seemed to have a very helpless smile, "Your Majesty's question today, why didn't you ask Lord Zheng, Liuzhu, and Ji Xiang, and didn't discuss it with He Shangshu, but why did you come to Jin Tianguan here?" Tell me?"

Zhao Zhouxing was speechless for a moment.

Wen Renhe drank his tea slowly, and Geng Le's voice, di di da da, echoed in the room.

"It's getting late, Your Majesty, don't worry too much." Wen Renhe put down his teacup, "This minister is the national teacher of the state of Zhao. If the state of Zhao is here, the subject is here. If the state of Zhao is not here, the subject is not here. There is no need to buy or sell, and no settlement is required. .There are thousands of people and affairs in the world. They are all different, and you need to pay attention to them. Come and send His Majesty back to the palace."

Zhao Zhou walked to the door and stopped suddenly, "When Zhao Guo is gone, where will the national teacher go?"

"Your Majesty is joking, Zhao Guo will last forever, and I am afraid that His Majesty will not be able to see that day."

"I said if."

Hearing people laughed together, "Come from everywhere, go everywhere. Your Majesty, please go back. Tomorrow is ten days off. Your Majesty should take a good rest for a day."

Wenren closed his eyes to see Zhao Zhouxing leave, walked up to the stargazing platform, and looked at the sky full of stars.

There are definite numbers in everything in the world.Come for the cause, go for the effect.A person whose life span is equal to that of the sky, when the sky is tilted, is he any different from an ant.

Zhao Zhouxing returned to the palace, changed his clothes, asked someone to move the notebook to the bedroom, picked up a copy and read it slowly.

300 years ago, Zhao Guochu was established.

Emperor Gaozu and his concubines enjoyed a spring feast in the palace one day, and the princes thought of some simple things to add to the fun, one of which was to compare arrows.

At that time, there were six princes in the palace, and the youngest prince was only three years old, running around in the field.It happened that an arrow missed its aim and flew towards the sixth prince.

Everyone was shocked, and the sixth prince's mother and concubine passed out on the spot.But the arrow didn't hurt the sixth prince, but turned in one direction under everyone's eyes, and then fell straight to the ground.

A man came out from behind the flowers, with picturesque eyebrows, cinnabar forehead, and a good appearance.This person picked up the sixth prince, walked up to Emperor Gaozu, and put the sixth prince down.Along the way, no one stopped him.

Emperor Gaozu was surprised in his heart, but his face was still calm, so he asked the man's name and how he came into the palace.

The man made a shallow salute, "I have a surname of Wenren, a first name, and a single word Xuan. I came here to protect the world."

It is a strange language.

Emperor Gaozu invited him to enjoy the banquet together, granted him the title of national teacher, bestowed him with a view of the sky, and built a star observatory.From then on, watching the stars and dawning, the spells were superb, and the Zhao family was stabilized for 300 years.

No one knows where he came from and where he will go.Like a wisp of green smoke in the mountains, it turns into a human being, and disappears in the end.
