When I entered the imperial city, I saw a lot of Qionglou Yuyu, and the flying dragons raised at both ends, showing the highest status of this kingdom, and the dark red glazed tiles were shining in the sun, which was very dazzling.

However, only a high wall blocked the wealth and glory of the imperial city, leaving only the heavily guarded soldiers and the cold vermilion painted gates.

How much sorrow has been separated by a door, and how much hatred has been ruthless?

Although the imperial city is shining with golden light step by step, it is also scheming step by step.

The magnificent palaces passed by, but Zhao Jingan didn't look at it at all, and only walked forward quickly.

Look to the end, it is the place of the highest power, and it is the place to look down on everyone.

The hand hanging to the side was clasped, and the eyes were firm: there must be mine.

Someday you will live there, you will get the highest power, you will repay that hatred.

Zhao Jingan knelt on the ground, lowered his head, his expression became gentle, knocked to the ground, and shouted: "Father! The son-in-law has given you a greeting. ”

The voice of Zhao Yonglin, the deep and majestic Emperor Qu Yue, sounded, "An'er, get up!" ”

Zhao Jing'an stood up, clasped his hands, and looked at the person sitting above him, although he was over sixty years old, he still looked like a fifty-year-old man.

The face is like a knife, resolute and thick eyebrows, thin lips and high nose, with the charm of a mature man, and his eyes reveal a look of understanding the world, as if he can know everything in the world well, and has a natural imperial momentum.

"Father, the son has found out about the affairs of Jiangnan, and tomorrow he will sort out the information and hand it over to the Criminal Department."

Sitting on Zhao Yonglin's eyes, a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes, he stroked his beard with his hand, and nodded, "Well, it's very good at this time." Although Jiangnan is rich, it can't afford to fill the pockets of these corrupt officials. I wanted to solve it as soon as possible, but there were too many officials involved, so it dragged on until this time, but I didn't expect to find out so much dirty silver. Saying this, Emperor Qu Yue sighed helplessly.

Zhao Jingkang knows the Tao of the Tao, and in the Jiangnan area, there are many and miscellaneous officials, and almost all of them have connections with the capital, so it will be difficult to find out at one time.

It is inevitable to be obstructed, not to mention the assassination that Zhao Jingan did not care about.

But fortunately, he was sent, otherwise how could the others still live?

Presumably, this is also the reason why Emperor Qu Yue chose Zhao Jing'an.

After all, if you don't pull out your fangs, it hurts for a long time.

Perhaps when the age came, Emperor Qu Yue became more and more suspicious and worried, worried that one day someone would replace him, and even the closest people were much more unfamiliar.

Zhao Jing'an also felt this, and Master Empty Sorrow also calculated it, so he explained it to him like that.

Retreating from the rapids is not a retreat, it is the wisest choice at the moment, after all, it is always the one who is in the limelight first.

"Father, isn't the dirty silver you found out just right? Now that the treasury is empty, and the army has to be fed, these tens of millions of taels are not solving the problem at hand? ”

"Hmm!" Emperor Qu Yue looked at Zhao Jing'an, no longer spoken, his eyes were hot, but they were different from the emotional eyes between father and son, he seemed to be looking at another person through Zhao Jing'an?

Zhao Jing'an has long been accustomed to this look, and he knows it in his heart, but he also resents it, since he loves her so much, why should he marry that woman?

Lowering his head, his voice was slightly raised, "Father? Father? ”

Emperor Qu Yue seemed to realize the gaffe, and let out an unnatural 'hum', leaned back on the dragon chair, waved his hand, and said in a slightly tired voice: "I've been out of the road for so long, I must be tired, go back and rest well." ”

"Father, the son has something to say."

Zhao Jing'an looked at Emperor Qu Yue looking at him, then lowered his head and said, "Father, the son wants to return the military power in his hands to you." Recently, I have been too tired, and I have really adapted to the climate in the south of the Yangtze River, and now I am back in the capital, and I am a little unwell, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it, and I ask my father to complete it. ”

Emperor Qu Yue's eyes flashed, he didn't expect Zhao Jing'an to say this? Returning the military power, isn't that just a hanging prince? has no power, some are just the honorific title of the prince, compared with other brothers, isn't it a lot of down?

"If you are not feeling well, then hand it over for the time being, and then hand it back to you when your body is well."

With a cold snort in his heart, he knew that the answer was like this.

Return? I'm afraid it's impossible!

Zhao Jing'an knew before he came, since he had already thought about handing over military power, there must be other plans, when would he, Zhao Jing'an, do something he was not sure about?

"Then the father, the son will retire first." He arched his hand and was about to leave the door when laughter came from outside the door.

Then came in a woman dressed in golden yellow, willow eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, delicate makeup, and golden steps, although the person came in, he did not salute Emperor Qu Yue, but walked in front of Zhao Jing'an, and asked with a smile: "An'er, are you back." ”

The person who came was the virtuous concubine of Qu Yueguo - Zhang Qingyuan, the mother concubine of Zhao Jingan and Zhao Jingkang.

In addition to the queen, Qu Yueguo's harem is the most noble Zhang Qingyuan, not to mention that Zhang Qingyuan is also the mother concubine of the two princes, and her status is even more unshakeable.

When Zhao Jing'an saw the visitor, he smiled slightly, and arched his hand, "The minister asks for peace to the concubine." ”

"It's good to be back, I've been going for a few months, but I can worry my mother to death, look at it, everyone is emaciated." pulled Zhao Jingan and looked around, his face full of distress.

"Mother, don't worry, everything is fine with your son." Zhao Jing'an didn't break free, but just let the light pull of the face, and the breath of his whole body was constricted, and he didn't see the coldness of the past, but revealed a warm breath.

Zhang Qingyuan looked at it for a while, then walked to the center of the hall, looked at the people above, and asked for peace, "Your Majesty, why didn't An'er tell me when he came back?" Knowing that the concubine wanted An'er, she was thinking about it tightly. ”

Emperor Qu Yue pursed his lips and snorted coldly, "In the woman's opinion, An'er is going to do business, and she has been away for a few months, what can you think?" Besides, don't you have a son by your side? ”

"Humph! Your Majesty doesn't know what to do, although Kang'er says that he lives in the palace, he can't see people when he sees the sky, where do you tell me to find it? If Kang'er can be half as intimate as An'er, then I will burn incense and worship Fluo. ”

said that, but when it came to Zhao Jingkang, his words were also full of pampering and heavy pride.

"When the child is older, he will let it go, always take care of it, what can he achieve? It should be like educating An'er and doing things as soon as possible. Emperor Qu Yue looked at Zhang Qingxuan, shouted lightly, and disagreed, as if when he said this, there was a thorn in his heart, and he was not happy.

Zhang Qingyuan was blocked by Emperor Qu Yue like this, and he had nothing to say, so he had to wave outside, and said with a smile: "This is a newly developed dim sum in the palace of the concubine, and the concubine tasted it and thought it was delicious, so she specially sent it over to His Majesty to taste." It's almost noon, so you have to eat on time, and your body has to be tight. With that, he handed the food box to the eunuch next to him.
