"Smack"! After the sound of the gun, Zhao Tuo hurriedly waved his hand again as usual, but found that there was not as much smoke as the previous two times. "Two Aiqing, what is the reason why An Ren's voice is not loud after the shot, and there is not much smoke and dust?"

The emperor beckoned, and the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army on the opposite side immediately jumped up from behind the grass slope and ran over with the target, and the minister was still staring at him, he had already seen his work. "How many steps is the target now?" He asked, frowning.

"Your Majesty, it's sixty steps."

"Fifteen more steps."

"Yes!"

Zhao Tuo turned his head and was about to say something, when he saw Liu Mu and the tray in his hand.

He beckoned him to come over, turned around and walked towards the Arrow Pavilion, Liang Wu first led people into the pavilion to lay out cushions and other things, while Eunuch Liu accompanied the emperor, and the others stayed where they were.

When Zhao Tuo walked in, the inside had already been laid, and he motioned to Eunuch Liu: "Pass Liu Mu." ”

Liu Mu walked in and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, this is a secret report just sent by Lujiang Mansion today, and the person who presented it is Lu Rui. ”

"Oh?" The emperor smiled: "They are not walking slowly, they have already arrived at Lujiang?" Who knew that Liu Mu looked a little embarrassed, and Zhao Tuo took the fold from Eunuch Liu's hand, and the more he looked at it, the darker his face became.

Eunuch Liu hurriedly made a look, Liang Wu beckoned everyone else to go out, and he also came outside the pavilion.

"Hmph, rampant, rampant!" Zhao Tuo gritted his teeth.

"Your Majesty is angry, ...... outside. And ministers, don't let them feel like something is wrong. Liu Mu said softly.

"It's already brazenly riding on my neck, you still want to calm your anger, how to calm your anger?" Zhao Tuo slapped the fold on the table.

"Your Majesty, can the old minister see what is going on?" Eunuch Liu bowed down and asked.

"Look! This is my good imperial uncle, the first benevolent and righteous prince in the world in their mouth! ”

Eunuch Liu read the ten lines at a glance, and his face turned a little pale. He looked back at the ministers in the distance, glanced at Liu Mu, and thought about it:

"What Liu Du commanded the envoy said is reasonable, Your Majesty really shouldn't be angry, at least this matter must not be spread to the outer court to let them know, otherwise...... I'm afraid it's going to be noisy. ”

"The prince of the country actually used private arms to assassinate another prince, it is simply unheard of!" Zhao Tuo's fists clenched, and his bones turned white: "If such a thing is left unpunished, the majesty of the emperor, I will be trampled on the ground!" ”

"It will be punished, and it will be punished severely, but not now." Eunuch Liu said softly: "Your Majesty is currently going to do two major things: the Spring Bow Dabi and the Birr Khan tribute, this is the most important, don't lose a big one because of a small one!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's what the minister meant." Liu Mu lowered his voice and said: "This case is indeed appalling, and even the handle has been obtained by the king, it is impossible to overturn the case or escape punishment!"

But if it is revealed now, not only will there be an uproar in the foreign courts, but also those students who have already entered Beijing. Maybe we will have to turn out the old tune of 'cutting the feudal domain' again as we did a few years ago, and then Your Majesty will be in a dilemma. ”

"But my brother and sister are very frightened, if they don't happen to walk with Li Sanlang, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Zhao Tuo huffed: "Am I powerless to protect my relatives?" ”

"My long live lord, you are confused." Eunuch Liu bowed: "King Ding's departure from Beijing was quiet, and he did not inform the foreign court, if they knew about it, would it be okay?" So this matter can't be publicized anyway! ”

"It's ......." Zhao Tuo thought about it, although King Ding went to Nanchang and the queen mother knew about it, but the other ministers of the foreign dynasty didn't know about it.

It stands to reason that the prince should at least inform the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War when he travels, so as to provide convenience and protection along the way, this time he wanted to go quietly and return quietly, not disturbing too many places, who wants to .......

"Huh?" Zhao Tuo suddenly turned a corner: "No! ”

"What did you say, Your Majesty?"

"I didn't say it was right!" The emperor raised his head and looked directly at the two: "Since the emperor's brother is out of Beijing is secret, then King Xiang ...... No, it's King Ning, how did he know about the emperor's brother's itinerary? These words stopped both of them at once.

"Your Majesty, this matter must be suppressed immediately!" Liu Mu felt a layer of cold sweat dripping down his spine, and he hurriedly said:

"If Your Majesty pursues it at this time, it may be a big prison, which will involve internal and external ministers, officials, big and small. If you're going to deal with it, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until those two things are over. ”

Glancing at him and Eunuch Liu, Zhao Tuo slowly got up and stood there thinking for a while with his hands on the back of the chair. He was trying to figure out a way, but he was also trying to calm his emotions down.

"Well, I know what to do. Thank you for the advice of the Qing family, you should step back first, and arrange manpower to welcome the royal sister into Beijing, not to mention Brother Wang.

In addition, send someone to Lu Rui to see King Ding and Li Sanlang, and tell them not to make a noise about this matter for the time being. ”

"Your Majesty is wise, the minister will receive the decree and retire!" Liu Mu withdrew after speaking.

Zhao Tuo sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "Everyone in the world thinks that the emperor is naturally able to do whatever he wants and how he wants, but you can see it, but this is not the case!" ”

But the world still thinks like that, and I don't know how hard it is when I am not in his position. That's why Your Majesty is called a lonely widow for the Son of Heaven, and the world can't do it! Eunuch Liu replied half-jokingly.

The emperor laughed, walked out of the pavilion and said loudly: "Liu Funian, now the target is seventy-five steps, you come to fight." Then take fifteen steps back one at a time. I'm going to see which of these three guns can hit farther! ”

After a hurried dinner, Zhao Tuo went to Deqing Palace.

The queen and Concubine Yun were also there, and they all smiled when they saw the emperor. "Hey, do you have something happy to tell me? Why are they all smiling like this? Zhao Tuo asked in surprise.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Concubine Lian is happy!" The queen said.

Suddenly, there were voices of congratulations all around. Zhao Tuo was also happy: "I said, it turns out that there is indeed joy." The king of Joseon has done a good job this time, and I will reward him! After speaking, he went over to greet the Queen Mother, and then sat diagonally opposite the Queen Mother.

Everyone originally wanted to have a few more lively words, but they were surprised when they saw this posture. The queen understood first, so she took the lead in retiring first. But the emperor said:

"There are important family matters to be said, the queen, please listen to them together. Concubine, please take the others back to the palaces first, and tell everyone that I have not been to Deqing Palace tonight, and no one is allowed to go back and chew their tongues! ”

"The concubine is the order!"

Concubine Yun is old, and the emperor has always been relieved to do things, so she nodded. Seeing that she withdrew after saluting everyone, the emperor said apologetically:

"I'm really sorry to disturb my mother so late, the child has ordered the great sect to wait for the decree at the gate of the palace, so I am waiting to go out and give him the will after discussing with the queen mother."

The queen mother's face suddenly became solemn, and she asked the queen to help herself sit up, and asked, "The emperor is like this, but what happened to him?" ”

"Never before!" The emperor smiled bitterly, and then told the secret report received by the Wing Dragon Wei today from beginning to end, and the queen mother and queen were shocked.

"How?" The queen lost her voice and said, "It's an uncle and brother!" ”

"Alas, it's not all about this throne! Back then, when your father led the army, his father raised his sons and made a noise about what a brother and a brother, and now we have not let him inherit the throne because of the crime, and we are still not satisfied!

Now he actually instructed others to assassinate King Ding, and also poured dirty water on King Fan. Hey, father and son! The Queen Mother patted the armrest:

"Fortunately, the heavens have eyes and let Li Sanlang come down, otherwise I don't know how to explain to Concubine Yun underground now! These two are more vicious than the other!

I will be lenient with others, but no one will be lenient with me! She closed her lips tightly and asked, "Then what does Your Majesty want to do with this matter?" ”

The child thought that this matter should not be expanded for the time being. Now that spring is coming, Qimil Khan is already on his way to Beijing to pay tribute. At this time, it is not appropriate to set off a monstrous wave, so the child intends to punish him in another way. ”

"Oh? What was the Emperor going to do? ”

"The queen mother, the child thinks that Wuning is located in the mountainous area and is quite cramped, so he plans to upgrade Changyi to a county as a fief of Zhao Tou and change the title to ...... King Teng. ”

As soon as Zhao Tuo's voice fell, the queen couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the queen mother also laughed: "Well, this idea is also justified." After all, he went from the mountains to a land of fish and rice, and he was not too harsh.

Quietly, and reflecting His Majesty's benevolence. I hope that Zhao Tou can learn a lesson from this and be honest! After speaking, she was puzzled: "You invited Dazong Zheng to come, not just to change the seal, right?" ”

"Queen Mother Shengming, bandits have been rampant recently, and the child plans to send three hundred additional guards to the imperial tomb."

"Well, that's as it should be." The Queen Mother nodded: "Okay, this is a trivial matter, Your Majesty will go and order the next to deal with it, just don't alarm the front, those nerds wish there was a chance to attack the opponent now."

Yang Taige has just left the court for a few days, and at this time, you can't change the first assistant, you have to be assertive in your heart. ”

"The child understands! There have been two light rains in spring, and the weather is much wetter, please take care of your body, and we can go to the apricot orchard to enjoy the flowers in a while! Zhao Tuo got up, and the queen was busy and left.

"Yes, the spring rain is coming again, moisturizing things silently. Your Majesty has grown taller, and I am about to have a third child, and I am very happy! Yes, Li Sanlanggong's carriage happened to be used this time, let's walk around the lake and say hello to the courtiers, soldiers and civilians. ”

The Queen Mother sent them to the door with a smile, looked at the wet steps outside and sighed: "I didn't expect another year to come so soon, Your Majesty has been in power for three years, it's really time flies!" ”

came out with the queen, and wanted to go back to Kunming Palace with her, but the queen suggested that Zhao Tuo should go to Lifu Palace.

"Although she is a foreigner, she is also a pregnant woman, and at this time she most hopes that His Majesty will be by her side. She would be very grateful if you went at this time. The queen said, "Your Majesty often comes and goes here concubines, is there still a day or two missing?" ”

King Ding and Li Dan received the emperor's decree in Shucheng, and it was Ming Huang Menlang who passed the decree instead of an official of the Pedestrian Division, which indicates that it was an internal decree that had not been issued by the Zhongshu and the cabinet.

After hearing the emperor's intentions, King Ding was a little unhappy and sighed for a long time. Li Dan asked him why, and King Ding said: "Could it be that those casualties died in vain like this?" ”

Li Dan understood that this was because there was no clear purpose, and these people would not be able to receive state pensions and enjoy the preferential treatment policies for the families of the fallen soldiers. But there's no way around it.

The emperor made it clear that he could not move the other party for the time being, even if all kinds of evidence were sufficient, and Zhang Yi, who was an undercover agent, was still sending a steady stream of intelligence and evidence.

"Your Majesty has Your Majesty's considerations." Li Dan said: "The Art of War also says that there are some things that should be done, but the conditions are not ripe at this stage, so we can't do it for the time being."

The emperor thinks more than we do, stands taller, and all the aspects he has to take into account are not all that the courtiers can understand.

So Chitose doesn't have to be like this, I think the emperor will definitely not treat these loyal ministers badly, and will always give a good explanation to their family. He gave another example:

"When we marched and walked dozens of miles in one night, we couldn't take the wounded with us, so we fostered them in the homes of fellow villagers.

After more than half a year, Shangrao was recovered, and then people were sent back to pick them up one by one, or to support them, or to assign jobs, and the dead put the bones into the coffin and returned them to relatives to assist in burial.

No one said anything, knowing that this was wartime, and some things had to be like this. I guess Your Majesty also has many 'must' places, and you can only trust Your Majesty as a courtier.

The reason why the minister is willing to help the royal family and fight for His Majesty is because I see His Majesty's determination to humbly accept advice and strive for prosperity. ”

"But...... You should also see that there are many problems in the world now. Even so, do you still want to help Your Majesty? King Ding asked as he stared at Li Dan's eyes.

"Where is there no problem?" Li Dan smiled: "Even if we go out of China, we will see that other countries have all kinds of problems, whether they are big or small.

If there is a problem, I am not afraid, but I am afraid that I will spread my hands and not know what to do, or for some reason I simply pretend to turn a blind eye! Li Dan pointed to the endless fields under the slope with a horsewhip:

"China has the best fertile soil in the world, if you will only be helpless here, then I don't think this kind of person deserves to stand in the imperial court! I once talked with Governor Zhao about the dispute between civil and military affairs, the dispute between the north and the south, and the contradiction between copper coins and tickets.

You see, since no one is stupid, I can also see the faults that everyone knows.

The difference between ministers and some people is that they are busy sighing sadly with their hands in their hands,

And the minister started from a pen, a pot of wine, a car, and a knife, and made good things for the world in a down-to-earth manner, and hoped that these good things could become tools to help more people change their lives or everything around them! ”

"So, you mean that to change everything, you need to start with everyone, every little bit?" Qian Min, who was right behind, couldn't help but interject and ask.

"That's pretty much it." Li Dan nodded: "So I once said to Mr. Zeng that the reason why I want to 'Gewu' is not to be idle and bored.

It's about understanding all things, finding out the rules, making tools, and then understanding everything in more detail, more accurately and precisely! For example, telescopes, microscopes, and magnifying glasses are all such tools. ”
