Fu Song

Chapter 129 Gap
Sitting cross-legged on the couch, Zhao Suo watched with a smile that Princess Changle, who was not yet three years old, was running around on the spacious couch, climbing up and down, and sometimes even climbed onto Zhao Suo's body without any scruples.In front of the bed, Princess Changle's mother, Concubine Xian, stared at her daughter worriedly, for fear that she would accidentally fall under the bed.

Zhao Suo has never had much demand for beauty, and the concubine Xian in front of him is already in her early thirties, but she is the youngest concubine in the entire palace. It is completely beyond Zhao Suo's expectations to give birth to Princess Changle outside.

In the harem, there have been no imports for many years.

Therefore, as soon as Princess Changle was born, she was regarded as a favorite of thousands of people, and she was given the title of Princess Changle just after she was born.

Tired of playing, Changle finally curled up in a corner of the couch and fell into a deep sleep.

"Official family, this concubine will bring Changle back!" Concubine Xian stood up.

"Let her sleep here for a while, it's cold outside, don't dare to let her go!" Zhao Suo pulled the brocade quilt and covered Changle, said. "You also talk to me for a while, what's new these days?"

Concubine Xian covered her mouth and smiled softly: "It's nothing else, but everyone is laughing at the matter of Xiao Jixiang's family!"

Zhao Suo was stunned: "Do you even know about this?"

"Every day, there will be a married woman who comes into the palace to greet the empress, and they will talk about new things outside. This matter about Xiao Jixiang's family, who in Bianliang now doesn't know?" Born in Jiangmen, this family education is still a bit poor. If Mrs. Xiao San kept some women's ways, how could such a thing happen? I don't know how she met the Qishui County King of the Liao people? But what did you say? Both."

Hearing these words, Zhao Suo's face suddenly sank.

In fact, he knew this from beginning to end.

The Liao people's Qishui County King Yelujun appeared under Tianmen Village, and the spies of the Imperial City Division reported it to him at the first time. Do you really think that the horse bearers all over the world are just for nothing?

Zhao Suo even knew about the debate between Yelujun and the third lady of the Xiao family about the Huayi debate.

"Xiao Yuguo's important minister, Xiao Ding has made great contributions to Huang Song. These women with long hair and short knowledge talk about right and wrong, you should dismiss it on the spot!" Zhao Suo said with a serious face.

Seeing Zhao Suo's expression, Concubine Xian said cautiously: "Yes, the empress reprimanded these people on the spot, and also kicked out a few who spoke the most vigorously on the spot, and they were not allowed to enter the palace to pay their respects!"

Only then Zhao Suo nodded in relief, the queen is still a queen after all, unlike the concubine Xian in front of him, who is completely confused about certain things, but for the concubine in the harem, this is also a good thing.

"Is the Queen better?"

"After taking the medicine these days, I feel much better, and I can get up and take a walk in the palace!" Concubine Xian said.

"Okay, okay, the imperial doctor who treats the queen will be rewarded!" Hearing that the queen's illness was gradually improving, Zhao Suo's mood immediately improved.The male master is outside, the female master is inside, his harem has always been stable and harmonious, and having a virtuous and capable queen is the most important thing.

"Officials, please see the king of Chu!" Outside the door, came the voice of the great eunuch Shi Zhong.

After hearing this, Concubine Xian stood up, ready to avoid it, but Zhao Suo waved her hand, indicating where she should sit.

Seeing the boss Zhao Jing who came in to salute him, Zhao Suo couldn't help but frowned deeply, but after more than a month, Zhao Jing actually lost a lot of weight, and the whole person looked decadent.

Zhao Jing, who stood up, was startled when he saw Concubine Xian, and quickly bowed to Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian also stood up and nodded slightly.

"Look at you now, what kind of dignity do you have?" Zhao Suo reprimanded his elder son angrily, but Shi Zhong, the eunuch who was about to move the brocade stool for Zhao Jing, was stunned, holding the brocade stool in his hand, do not know what to do.

"In the past few months, you have more than a dozen copies of Yu Shican's papers. The few imperial gates you are in charge of never go, and the official business is neglected, but you still hang around in brothels and tiles. The royal family doesn't want face Is it?" Zhao Suo said angrily.

"Father wronged my son and minister." Zhao Jing knelt down with a bang: "The few imperial gates that my son is in charge of are not important at all. It doesn't make any difference whether my son goes or not. Those imperial officials are just suffering. Instigation by others is nothing more than finding fault with my son. As for brothels and tiles, my son really hasn’t been there during this period of time. These are all old things that no one has dug out to tarnish my son’s reputation.”

"You didn't go to these places, where did you go?" Zhao Suo asked in a deep voice.

"My son has gone to Daxiangguo Temple. Where can I take a bath and fast, and pray for the aunt!" Zhao Jing said, "The aunt is not feeling well, and my son is very anxious."

Looking at Zhao Jing, Zhao Suo nodded. You can't tell a lie about such a thing. You can tell if you check it out. The boss still has intentions.The queen is in good health, maybe it has something to do with him praying at Daxiangguo Temple.

"Well, you are considered filial, get up! The queen is already recovering, so go and say hello later!" Zhao Suo said.

"Really?" Zhao Jing showed a look of surprise on his face: "The minister must go to the Daxiangguo Temple to donate some sesame oil money later, and the abbot Yuanzhen really didn't lie to me."

Without making a fuss, Zhao Jing had already taken the credit for the Queen's recovery from her illness.

Shi Zhong on the side showed admiration, and quickly moved the brocade stool over and placed it behind Zhao Jing.

"Sit down!" Zhao Suo waved his hand: "I can't let you be too idle. Didn't you just say that you have nothing to do? Then I will find something for you. The Fourth Army and the Northern Frontier Army rotate It's up to you to do this."

Zhao Jing was startled: "Father, this matter is the second brother's responsibility, and I dare not fight with him!"

"Don't dare to fight with it?" Zhao Suo sneered: "The second child is very busy. The affairs of Kaifeng Mansion are already complicated, and the rotation of the fourth army is an extremely complicated matter. Some time ago, didn’t there be a mutiny by soldiers? I don’t think he can take care of it. Besides, when Lin Ping went to Beijing, he was very familiar with the Liao people and this Lin Ping, so let him Go and negotiate with Lin Ping, the matter of the rotation of the Fourth Army is up to you, don't do anything wrong."

"Yes, father, my son will definitely not disappoint father." Zhao Jing was ecstatic in his heart, but his face remained calm, he stood up and bowed to accept the order.

He was originally determined to win the rotation between the Fourth Army and the Northern Frontier Army. Unexpectedly, as soon as the second Jing Wang Zhao Zhe returned to Beijing, with the prestige of the Northern Land's great victory, he easily snatched this job and asked him to fight with a bamboo basket. The water is empty.

Now this matter has finally returned to his own hands.

During the few months when King Jing Zhao Zhe returned to Beijing, Zhao Jing really had a hard time.

As soon as Zhao Zhe returned to Beijing, he served as the magistrate of Kaifeng. If this position was held by another courtier, he would only complain about it. The meaning is too obvious.

So Zhao Zhe is in the limelight now, and countless officials want to join him. In contrast, Zhao Jing, who was originally a big hit, is left out in the cold.

Now it seems that Zhao Yuan's idea for himself has really shown a miraculous effect, at least, he has won back a victory.I took back the job of the rotation of the Fourth Army, and I also showed it to those fools. There is no conclusion on this matter!Maybe I can turn salty fish over and bring the dead back to life!

When he came, he was decadent, but when he left, he was beaming.

Zhao Zhe never expected to meet his eldest brother Zhao Jing outside the gate of Yanfu Palace.

"I've seen you, brother!" Although the two are completely wrong now, the etiquette cannot be dismissed, otherwise some people will come out to criticize.

"Second brother, you are a busy person, why do you have time to come to Yanfu Palace today?" Zhao Jing laughed, but he couldn't hide his sarcasm when he opened his mouth.

Yanfu Palace is the palace where the emperor rests on weekdays. Zhao Suo handles official affairs, but it is not here but elsewhere.

Zhao Zhe chuckled: "I have some urgent matters, and I need to report them to my father immediately. If I delay, I will miss a big deal. Isn't elder brother going to listen to music today? I heard that Xiangguo Temple invited a large group of literati to eat vegetarian food today. , such a grand event, can big brother be absent?"

Zhao Jing smiled and said: "I really want to go, but my father has just assigned me an errand, and I don't have time, what a pity. Oh, I don't want to delay my second brother to see my father, I will go first. I'm leaving."

Looking at the back of Zhao Jing leaving with his hands behind his back, Zhao Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly, as if something had escaped his control, what kind of job did the eldest brother get?

Since returning to Beijing, the eldest brother has been overwhelmed by himself, and has no strength to fight back, but now it seems that he has not completely given up!

Zhao Suo looked at Zhao Zhe, who was sitting opposite him, with his head held high, his heroic spirit was overwhelming, and he even made himself feel a sense of oppression, which made him extremely displeased and even a little uneasy.

Flipping through the brochure Zhao Zhe brought, Zhao Suo said: "People die every year because the snow crushed the house, and it's enough to pay some money for pensions, why do you join so many officials all at once? "

"Father, it happens every year, so it's even more important to prevent such things from happening again. However, the local officials ignored them, so that the tragedy happened again. Such people, how can they allow them to occupy their seats?" Is it possible to ignore human life? The sons and ministers just asked for their dismissal, which is considered lenient! If they are not punished severely, will such a thing happen again next year?" Zhao Zhe said without giving an inch.

Zhao Suo was so bet that his heart was bored, but he couldn't speak, so he could only throw the book aside: "It's just a few low-rank officials, you can figure it out. You came to the palace today not only for this A few sesame mung bean officials, right?"
