Chapter 168: Father and Son

Bao Shou carefully combed his hair and asked with a smile,

"Your Majesty, the lady concubine combs this hairstyle very well, and the slave maid's combing skills have become a lot rusty over the years, Your Majesty can still see it?"

Zhao Lian looked at Fang Muhua, who was sitting quietly in front of the dressing table, sighed and stretched out his hand, Bao Shou hurriedly helped Fang Muhua to sit over,

"Niangniang, sit down!"

Fang Muhua sat next to the dragon couch and was pulled by Zhao Lian, her fingers moved, and she gently stroked Zhao Lian's spotted hand, as if she recognized him and pulled out a smile, but now her eyes were black and holes, and she smiled and looked at the indescribable infiltrate, Zhao Lian didn't care,

"Mu Hua!"

Zhao Lian took her hand and put it on his face, Fang Muhua stroked it gently, the smile on his face became more and more gentle, Zhao Lian let her fingers gently stroke, and whispered to her,

"Mu Hua, after so many years, I only knew that the person who really treated me was beside me, but I hated me for many years, and I mistakenly believed that the demon woman hurt you, and also hurt Concubine Hui......"

Fang Muhua's fingers touched the tears in the corners of his eyes, paused and gently wiped them for him, shook his head at him, slowly fell to his chest, patted and comforted him, Zhao Lian reached out and stroked her gray hair, and murmured,

"Mu Hua, you say...... Shall I believe him? ”

My life is full of deception and betrayal, only you have always been by my side, even if you are in the cold palace and bullied, but you still do not change your heart for me, I Zhao Lian is dying with you is a great luck, if I let me find the emperor again, I will go underground to see the ancestors of the Zhao family, I can also have an explanation......

On the second day, someone from the middle palace summoned the prince again, and Song Dibo went over to see Mi Qiuhan's proud face.

"What is it about the queen mother that rejoices so much?"

Mi Qiuhan said happily,

"Good boy, do you know what Zhao Lian sent to Baoshou to say something to the old dog today?"

Song Dibo raised his eyebrows,

"What else does he have to say now?"

Mi Qiu Handao,

"Zhao Lianyan said that his time is short, and he is worried that you will not be able to deal with the heavy state affairs like a mountain, and you will not be able to deal with those ministers who are as cunning as a fox and greedy as a wolf, and he plans to personally guide you!"

"Oh, really?"

Song Dibo frowned and said,

"Queen Mother, I'm afraid there is fraud in this, but he clearly knows my ......"

Mi Qiu smiled coldly,

"He knows it well, but I told him that if he is willing to teach you to take the throne, I will let Fang Muhua bury him with him, if not...... Hum! I threw Fang Muhua into the market and begged for a living from then on! He is now left with such a woman by his side, and he will agree if he doesn't agree! ”

Song Dibo nodded when he heard this,

"Even if the queen mother restrains him, the sons will be relieved!"

At the moment, he went to see Zhao Lian with Mi Qiuhan, Song Dibo glanced at Fang Muhua who was sitting on the side, and then looked at her hand with Zhao Lian holding tightly together, knelt down and saluted,

"Father, the son of the emperor looks at his father's spirit today, his face is ruddy, it seems that the medicine used by the imperial doctor is extremely symptomatic, and the day of his father's recovery will not be far away!"

Zhao Lian snorted coldly,

"You don't have to be pretentious, what is fake is fake, and no matter how much you learn it, it's not true!"

Song Dibo smiled,

"Father, this statement is very reasonable, false is false, true is true, true sometimes becomes false, but that false is never true!"

"Humph! If only you understood! ”

Zhao Lian glared at Mi Qiuhan hatefully, and ordered,

"Someone! Set up the royal study! ”

Zhao Lianqiang supported the sick body and sat in front of the imperial case, pointing at Song Dibo to look through the folds, but Mi Qiuhan retreated to the inner room and sat on the soft top and stared at Zhao Lian through the bead curtain.

Zhao Lian watched Song Dibo open the fold and look at the ten lines, and after reading it, he threw it aside, and then motioned to Bao Shou on the side to take the fold and come over to show it, and after reading it, he asked,

"What is wrong with this fold in your opinion?"

Song Dibo sneered,

"What kind of fire phoenix auspicious, not afraid of flames, born of nirvana, with wings shining with golden light and its own flowers...... These officials have nothing to do all day long, they don't know how to rectify the people, what auspicious things to look for all over the world, stay until they are under the rule of the road, do not close the door at night, support the old, and rely on the young, and then come to talk to the palace about auspicious things! ”

Zhao Lian nodded, and tapped his fingers on the desktop,

"You can see it very clearly, but do you know that this Akarlu in Shazhou is a barren land, where it rains for half a year and drought for half a year. When the land is sandy during the drought, and when it rains, it is good that the people under the rule can have something to wrap their stomachs, but they can't afford to pay the taxes of the imperial court, and seeing that the autumn harvest has passed, the tax quota of Akarru this year cannot be completed, so there is this auspicious act......"

Song Dibo heard this, his eyes were blazing, and he asked for the song back from Na Baoshou's hand, and after carefully looking at it, he got up and saluted Zhao Lian,

"It's the sons who are too arbitrary, thank you for your father's guidance!"

Zhao Lian nodded and stroked his chin and beard and said,

"That'...... What should you do with it? ”

Song Dibo responded,

"That is, for the official to benefit one party, for the rule of the people is what the official should do, if the tax can not be completed, if there is a natural disaster, it will be said that there is a natural disaster, and if there is a disaster, it will be said that it is a man-made disaster, and it is not in line with this kind of non-existent auspicious thing, this fold is to reprimand, and then send the Shazhou state government to carefully check, and issue a decree to give tax exemption or grain relief!"

Mi Qiuhan's faction will only fight for power and profit, flattery, sloppy and patting, there will be a good thing at the top, and it will be very bad at the bottom, one by one, the corpses are vegetarian, and the taxes are only collected regardless of whether the people can pay them or not.

The county officials of Akarlu also had no choice, so they came up with such a way to ask the court for tax reduction.

"Hmmm......"

Zhao Lian nodded, but saw Song Dibo turn his head and call the little eunuch at the door again.

"Go to the household department to retrieve the annual tax records of Akarlu in Shazhou, and the palace must check it carefully!"

Zhao Lian asked,

"Why are you doing that?"

SONG Dibodao,

"If there is really such a situation in Akarlu in Nasha Prefecture, it is not a day or two days, and the retainers want to retrieve the previous records to check carefully, and then call a few heads of the household department to see if there is a need to adjust the tax ...... Akarlu."

"Hmmm......"

Zhao Lian nodded and said,

"I'm glad you can be so diligent......"

The two of them then looked at the next fold, read the fold and discussed it in a low voice, because each fold had to be talked about for a long time, and before they knew it, it was the beginning of the lantern, and the fold on the imperial case had not been reduced by a few copies.

At the beginning of Mi Qiuhan, I was still interested in watching the two of you come and go, and after sitting for three hours, I finally felt bored, so I yawned and smiled behind the bead curtain.

"Your Majesty's body is weak, and he has been strong for a long time, and the concubine will be here today, and I will continue to see it tomorrow!"

Song Dibo shook his head when he heard this,

"The queen mother doesn't know, most of these folds have been backlogged for two months, and if they drag it on, the people below really don't know what to do! Taking advantage of the fact that my father's spirit is still good these days, it is better to have more batches! ”

Zhao Lian also nodded at her and said coldly,

"What country does the woman and Taoist know, this huge country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and many things must be decided by the Son of Heaven in a word, do you really think that I will only sit on the Jinluan Palace and play prestige!"

Mi Qiuhan really doesn't understand the major affairs of the family and the country, Zhao Lian doesn't care about it, how many things she does are entrusted to a few cabinet elders, but this kind of power is really uncomfortable, and now that the prince can be the director of the family, I wish he could take over the power with one hand.

At the moment, he snorted coldly and shook the handkerchief, leaving Ah Rui still staring at the little eunuch serving the food there, Song Dibo devoured it, but Zhao Lian ate it hastily and drank a few mouthfuls of soup before giving up, and after drinking a round of tea, he began to review and review the folds.

At this time, it was late autumn, and incense was burned in the cold study late at night, and Song Dibo called the little eunuch to place the carbon basin.

"My father's body is weak, and the cold invades in the middle of the night, which is not good for my body, so put more carbon basins to warm up!"

The little eunuch put a carbon basin in, the best silver frost and fine carbon, put several basins in a row, as soon as the heat was ignited, it didn't take long for the room to get stuffy, Zhao Lian was already weak and didn't feel it, Song Dibo was young and strong and couldn't stand the heat, but he took off his clothes by himself, only a thin shirt was left, he was the prince and Zhao Lian nodded, no one could take care of it.

The rest of the people who served did not dare to undress, standing in this room for a long time only felt stuffy and hot, and for a long time they couldn't hold their breath, the little eunuch who was grinding ink next to Song Dibo was there, sweating profusely, and the smell of sweat mixed with urine was scattered, Song Dibo was angry and kicked the pen at the moment,

"Get out! Get out, you don't have to smoke this palace! ”

At that moment, he kicked out a few little eunuchs one after another, and drove out the palace maids who were so hot that their clothes were wet, and looked at Ah Rui's equally sweaty clothes and frowned,

"Auntie can't lose her etiquette in front of the emperor, let's go and change my clothes!"

Ah Rui looked down at his looming underwear, and hurriedly bowed down, and when Bao Shou was also kicked out of the imperial study, only father and son were left in this room.

Zhao Lian's eyes were blazing and he stared at Song Dibo,

"Boy, you...... Is it really my Zhao family's bloodline? ”

Song Dibo pouted,

"You ask me, who do I ask? That Song Lao Liu raised me to the age of seven, and when he sold me, I realized that I was not his own son, and was sent to the capital into the Xiaoqier Pavilion, and because I was too good-looking, I was handed over to the Wa God faction, and then because I couldn't stand the filthy place, I was sick and was thrown on the mass grave, if I hadn't been picked up by the old beggar, I would have died a long time ago! ”

Zhao Lian twitched the muscles on his face when he heard this,

"I ...... I didn't expect you to live such a miserable life in the people......"

Song Dibo shook his head and said,

"What's so bitter, it's only because I was so kind that I saved a person from Qianmiaomen and stole what Fang Kui brought back from the capital, I ...... Only then did I realize that I was not an orphan without a father or mother, and my old son was murdered in the palace in the capital of Linzhou so that he only had half his life left......"
