Although Li Dabao doesn't know kung fu, he punches Wang Ba and fights vigorously.

It only took a few breaths for the two family members to be beaten to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and they screamed again and again.

At this time, Li Dabao still felt angry, unbuttoned his belt and pumped it on the two people.

"Bastard, you dare to bully people?"

"Lao Tzu will kill you!"

After about a stick of incense, the two family members were already covered with whip marks, and they looked even more miserable than Zhao Yu.

Li Dabao stopped at this time, looked at Zhao Yu and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, brother, my subordinates are not sensible, I, Li Dabao, apologize to you."

As he spoke, he took out a gold ingot from his arms and stuffed it into Zhao Yu's arms.

"Don't be too little, brother, this is a part of my heart, you have to accept it!"

"This ......"

Zhao Yu never dreamed that things would develop to the current situation.

He looked at Yang Dong a little blankly, and saw that the other party bowed slightly, so he accepted the gold ingot.

Seeing this, Li Dabao immediately smiled. Holding Zhao Yu's arm, he said quite affectionately:

"Brother, you don't know, my favorite thing in my life is to eat and drink, if you are free, after the injury, come to my house to sit."

"I have a bottle of Aged Daughter Red, that taste, tsk...... Ordinary people can't taste it! ”

Zhao Yu seemed to be a little unaccustomed to Li Dabao's enthusiasm, but he still gritted his teeth and mingled with the other party as much as possible.

In fact, being an official is not as iron-faced and selfless as the people imagine.

Once you enter officialdom, you need to abide by the unspoken rules of officialdom. What kind of connections, hospitality......

In short, although Zhao Yu is very disgusted with these, he understands that he can only get used to it now.

Maybe one day, he will be able to change that, but not now.

Yang Dong looked at the two of them hooking shoulders and talking loudly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

This kid, the master is really right, it's a good piece of material.

"Since the head of the Li family is so cooperative, then this matter will be stopped. My father still has important matters, so he will go back to Beijing first. ”

Yang Dong said, turned around and wanted to leave, only took two steps, suddenly seemed to think of something, turned around again, looked at Li Dabao with a simple face, and said:

"Master Li, although your Li family chose to make meritorious service this time, it angered Long Yan after all. Therefore, your third uncle may have to return to his hometown. ”

When Li Dabao heard this, he immediately nodded with pity, but no one noticed it, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

"All this is the third uncle's own fault."

"What to do with it is up to the adults. My Li family has nothing to say. ”

……

Palace

In the study,

The empress is still sitting at her desk, meticulously reviewing the folds.

The blue bird served silently, but his eyes were slightly distracted.

"Blue Bird, how is the land division policy progressing now?"

“……”

"Blue Bird?"

"Ah, Your Majesty is atoning for your sins! It's a little distracted from below......"

The blue bird shook his head slightly, bowed his head and confessed.

"Distracted? What were you thinking? ”

The empress frowned and asked.

"The subordinate is thinking...... I'm thinking about things in the capital. ”

The blue bird had no intention of concealing it, and continued:

"Your Majesty, count the days, and now more than ten days have passed. But what about Xiao Dongzi! He just took out a policy of dividing the land, and then disappeared, and now he has gone to the suburbs of Beijing, and I don't know when he will come back. ”

"Your Majesty, do you really trust him so much?"

When the empress heard this, she did not answer immediately, but sighed softly.

"Alas......"

"Bluebird, there are not many people I can trust, and you are one of them. I ask you, if you were the emperor, what would you do in the face of the current situation of the Great Zhou? ”

When the blue bird heard this, he was immediately frightened and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty is laughing!"

"His subordinates are just His Majesty's guards, where do they know how to govern the country!"

"You see, even you are like this, who can I rely on?"

The empress smiled bitterly and stepped forward to help the blue bird up from the ground. She looked out the window and muttered:

"Do I have a choice?"

"One by one, you won't tell the truth in front of me."

"Whether I've done right or wrong, no one has ever really pointed it out!"

"Above the court, those ministers are deceitful and deceitful, the pillars of the country, but they only care about their own petty profits!"

"If I have any ideas, the household department will come to say, the people's livelihood is withering, and the treasury is empty!"

"But what! If you look at the top of the main hall, which minister is not full of brains and intestines? Who doesn't have a lot of money? ”

Speaking of this, the empress sighed faintly, turned around and sat on the edge of the soft collapse.

"So, I can't help it."

"I even feel that the entire court is my enemy!"

"Even though I am the Son of Heaven, I still have a deep sense of powerlessness."

"Your Majesty......"

The blue bird's eyes were red, and he stepped forward and handed over a handkerchief.

"Your Majesty has been struggling these years, and your subordinates are looking at it. It's just that...... His subordinates are incompetent and unable to share His Majesty's worries. ”

"I know, and I never blame you."

The empress picked up her handkerchief and wiped the moist corners of her eyes.

"Bluebird, you know what?"

"Although Xiao Dongzi acts out of the box, the thinking in his head is also different from ordinary people."

"But he has one of the biggest characteristics, and that is that he doesn't think of me as me. Do you understand? ”

The bluebird bowed slightly,

She understood what the Empress meant, but that was what she was worried about.

The Great Zhou is the Great Zhou of the Ji family.

Her task is to protect the bloodline of the Ji clan - Ji Ziyue.

But what if one day, Da Zhou is not surnamed Ji, but Yang?

Although it is too early to think about this, as Ji Ziyue's guardian and the guardian of the Ji clan, Blue Bird understands that there are some things that are her mission.

"Blue Bird, do you think I'm not fit to be an emperor?"

"It's better to ...... I passed this throne to Xiao Dongzi, and then you and I wandered the world? ”

Hearing this proposal, the little heart of the blue bird shook violently.

Why didn't she want to wander the world with His Majesty?

When the time comes, Your Majesty will be your own......

But soon, the blue bird regained his composure.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done!"

"Although Xiao Dongzi has some ability, he can't support the king of a country."

"Besides, this Great Zhou is the country that the ancestors of the Ji family laid down after they paid blood and fire. Your Majesty is afraid that he will not be able to explain to the ancestors of the Ji clan if he does this. ”

"Alas...... I just said it casually. ”

"Don't worry, I know it."

The empress bowed slightly, and at this moment, the voice of the palace maid came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Chief Yang asks to see you."

"Xiao Dongzi, he's back!"

The empress's eyes lit up slightly, and she suddenly stood up from the soft couch.

"Quick, let him in!"
