The Mid-Autumn Festival flourished in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Song Dynasty, at this time has become an important festival in the Central Plains, this year the emperor led a family to 'return to the hometown and province', the head of Yang Feng and a few Zhuang heads discussed how to hold a decent gathering, so that the emperor and the people have fun. So they secretly began to prepare the things they needed to use without telling Zhao Ta, but they also knew that Emperor Lu Dao didn't like luxury, and besides, they could surpass the palace than the pomp, so they arranged the party on the martial arts arena in front of the palace!

As soon as breakfast was over that morning, Yang Feng went to the inner courtyard to ask to see the emperor, but he was empty, Wangfu said that the emperor and the chief manager left the house early in the morning, and he didn't know where Lu Dao went. Everyone is used to this kind of thing, so they didn't pay attention to it, but when they went again at noon and still didn't come back, Yang Feng sent someone to look for it, but he couldn't find it after searching all the places where the emperor frequented.

At this time, Yang Feng was a little anxious, and hurriedly mobilized more people to look around, but he returned disappointed, so he panicked a little and hurriedly told the queen. Zhu Shu was really shocked, the emperor disappeared, and she had to order someone to notify the local government to send someone to find it. But he was persuaded by Zhao Xin and several other princesses, if this news spreads, whether it is true or not, it will cause chaos, I don't know what will happen to Lu Dao, it is better to find it secretly.

Zhao Xin didn't believe that the emperor would have an accident in the Zhuangzi at all, and the emperor was not a good stubble, even if someone wanted to plot against him, he would not be able to succeed easily, but she couldn't prevent it, so she ordered Yang Feng to mobilize the township soldiers to block the various exits of the Zhuangzi in the name of maintaining the safety of the banquet, strictly check the people who entered and exited, and at the same time ordered the internal guards to go out of the palace to investigate secretly. Zhao Xin is not chaotic in the face of danger, and the scheduling is well-organized. Soon stabilized the scene, and couldn't help but impress several other people. It's no wonder that she will be favored by the emperor. Yu Liyan and the others all looked at the queen, and they were afraid that everything they thought was one thing, if it weren't for Zhao Xin's background, I am afraid that the queen's position would have to be given to her.

After arranging everything, Zhao Xin ordered the guards and men who were on duty in the morning to inquire, and they all said that the emperor did not have anything abnormal, and talked to them as usual, and when the guards on duty wanted to accompany them for protection, the emperor did not let them follow. The only strange thing is that the chief manager is carrying a basket in his hand. It's just that the top cover can't see anything inside, and the two of them went out of the mansion and went to the northwest of Zhuangzi.

"I know where the Daoist family has gone, so take back all the people who sent it!" Zhao Xin said after asking.

"Where did your majesty go?" The man in the hall asked.

"Master Yang, where is the northwest of Zhuangzi?" Zhao Xin asked Yang Feng rhetorically.

"Oh, Loyal Soul Garden!" Everyone in the hall who had come to Zhuangzi suddenly said.

"Where is the Loyal Soul Garden?" Zhu Shuzhen asked, the longer she lived, the more she discovered that this Zhuangzi had many unknown secrets, just like the winter garden of the old mansion and the current Genyue, which was always shrouded in layers of fog. Even she, the queen, could not know what was going on.

"Yu Niangniang, the Loyal Soul Garden is the cemetery of the Xiangyi Army, which is dedicated to the burial of the fallen soldiers, and the edict was expanded after His Majesty ascended the throne. And the royal pen inscribed the plaque! Yang Feng hurriedly replied, and after a few days of contact, he found that the queen mother was not as easy to get along with as the emperor's other concubines, and always held the queen's shelf. It made people feel uncomfortable, but he still asked everyone to bear with it. Don't let the emperor look bad.

"Really?! Who are the people buried there, it deserves so much attention from the officials. I also went to the sacrifice in person under the labor of His Majesty! Zhu Shuzhen had calmed down from the initial panic at this time, and asked with a calm face, in addition to the gods of the world, only the ancestors and ancestors, that is, the important ministers of the court, passed away, and generally only sent people to sacrifice on their behalf.

"Yu Niangniang, the burial is a Xiangyi nationality, or a soldier recruited from Xiangyi, there are no surprising characters, they are all old subordinates and childhood playmates under His Majesty!" Yang Feng said.

"Xiangyi is really a good place, the golden beans that the official family has found thousands of miles in the field, the place where the official family pays to build, and the food invented by the official family is eaten, even if you die, you can still reach the official family's personal memorial!" Zhu Shuzhen said leisurely. Her words were neither yin nor yang, which made everyone in the hall look sideways, but she was a noble queen, and everyone did not dare to accuse her face-to-face.

"Yes, Xiangyi is a good place!" Just when the scene was dull, Zhao Ta walked into the lobby in plain clothes and said coldly, his eyes were cold and chilling.

"Official...... The official family is back, so that everyone is anxious, and they don't know us! Zhu Shuzhen didn't know when Emperor Lu Dao came back, and when she heard something, she asked with an embarrassed smile.

"I was expelled from the palace when I was a teenager, and the people here did not dislike me because of my fall from grace, but protected me and helped me in the most difficult and dangerous way." Zhao Ta said loudly, "I went to the northwest and recruited thousands of guards who were all children of Xiangyi, and Yamato Fort captured and killed the enemy chieftains with fewer enemies, and killed seventy-six people in the first battle; In the battle with Chage, they fought bravely, and more than 200 people spilled their blood on the battlefield; After capturing Lingzhou, hundreds of Xiangyi disciples died in the city. But here the fathers and elders have made up for it and formed a guard to protect my safety with their lives! ”

"I led the troops to fight thousands of miles, which time was not the Xiangyi children charged ahead, leaving their blood everywhere, the Great Song Dynasty now has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and no one dares to carry the banner of the Xiangyi army, because they know that they are ashamed of themselves compared to the more than 1,000 Xiangyi children of the year, why should I worship the brothers who shed blood for the country and the people!" Zhao Ta said excitedly, "In order to accumulate money and fund my great cause, the Xiangyi fathers and elders have made efforts to travel all over the country, walk the world, and earn back money and wealth that rivals the country, but they don't keep it for themselves, what do they get by getting these lands and a few shelters!" ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... The concubine didn't mean anything else, she just wanted to go to His Majesty to sacrifice together! Zhu Shuzhen was shocked by the emperor's might and stammered.

"It's the best, let me find out who dares to do what's crooked, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Zhao Ta glanced at his concubines and said coldly.

"Second master, it's okay if you have nothing to do, tonight everyone wants to enjoy the moon with the second master and celebrate the harvest year together, what do you think will be arranged?" Yang Feng was relieved to see that the emperor came back safe and sound, but he didn't quite hear what he was talking about, so he diverted the topic.

"Okay, I'm also thinking about it, Master Yang, you invite the elders and heads of the Zhuangzi, as well as the people who have retired from the Zhuangzi due to injuries and placed in the Zhuangzi, and the old people in the past in the mansion don't leave one behind, I also want to meet them!" The topic really attracted Zhao Ta, and he immediately agreed, "In addition, you will take out the moon cakes and fresh food sent by Jingzhong to share with everyone, and if it is useful, it will be paid by the government, don't disturb everyone!" ”

"It's still thoughtful to the second master, I'll do it right away!" Yang Feng gave his resignation and retired......

Zhao Ta looked at his several concubines, and sighed with emotion in his heart, among them are not only the orders of their parents, but also confidants, childhood sweethearts, and political marriages. But after all, his soul comes from later generations, and the concept of male superiority and female inferiority is naturally very weak, and there are not so many rules in his harem.

At first, Zhao Ta was fighting all the year round, gathering less and leaving more with the concubines, and the environment was treacherous, and there were no heirs, several people could still get along peacefully and work together to rectify the harem. With the birth of several princes and princesses, the situation gradually changed subtly.

First of all, after Empress Zhu Shuzhen gave birth to the emperor's eldest son Zhao Qian, she hinted several times that the emperor should set up a prince early, but Zhao Ta never did it, not that he believed that he could live a long life, but that he felt that it was too early. Although he is three years old and seven years old, Zhao Qian is also healthy and smart, but it does not mean that he can take on the important task of governing the country in the future......

Zhao Ta's caution also caused the empress to be dissatisfied, and Zhu Shuzhen became suspicious, suspecting that the other concubines had spoken ill of the emperor in front of the emperor and prevented the emperor from establishing an heir, and gradually began to alienate Zhao Xin and others. She knows that she is in the harem, and although she is the head of the harem, her strength is the weakest.

Yu Liyangui is the princess of the dead Liao, although the country has been ruined, but with the Yanjing Mansion, Dading Mansion, Linhuang Mansion and Datong Mansion and other former Liao occupied territory was recovered, the Khitans have come to vote, so whether it is for the purpose of stabilizing the northwest or winning people's hearts, her position has been unshakable. And Yu Li was born from the royal family, her mother is proficient in Chinese, she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her poetic attainments are not worse than Zhu Shuzhen, and her gentle and virtuous lady is more and more admired by the emperor, the only weakness is to give birth to a princess.

Zhe Meiluan was born in a family of military generals in the Great Song Dynasty, his father and brother are all contemporary famous generals, holding heavy troops to guard the northwest, and the power is huge. And more importantly, the matter between her and the emperor has gone through several twists and turns, and finally became a family member after the most lucrative event, and the emperor also cherishes it deeply, and her proficient martial arts and the emperor have a common hobby, and they are also more close.

Li Xiaoxiao is the lord of Xixia, and his father is the lord of Xia, although the national strength is not as good as before, but it is still a hegemon and is feared by all countries. The emperor is also more attracted to them than to strike, in the case of anti-Jin as the primary goal at present, he will never easily turn his face with Xia, Li Xiaoxiao also has more layers of talismans, and has been circling in the battle between his father and uncle for a long time, and has traveled all directions with the caravan, deeply worried about the way of 'being a man', and has a lot of money in his hands, of course life is comfortable. And her wit and eccentricity made the emperor cry and laugh, angry and loved!

And among these people, Zhu Shuzhen was the most jealous of Concubine Zhao Xin, who understood that if the emperor did not marry her before succeeding to the throne, the position of the lord of the harem would probably fall on her...... (To be continued......)
