Zhao Qingzhan is only fourteen years old this year, but he looks the same as Zhao Xian in the same grade at the beginning.

looked at Zhao Qingzhan in front of him, and then looked at Zhao Xian's tablet behind him.

The tip of Zhao Chongyuan's nose couldn't help but be slightly sour, but the mist that had just risen under his eyes was forcibly pressed down by him.

Zhao Qingzhan looked at Zhao Chongyuan and bowed and said: "Recently, it has been cold, and my grandson heard that the imperial grandfather is busy with state affairs and has not eaten yet, so he specially ordered the cook in the imperial dining room to stew lotus seed soup for the imperial grandfather and send it to the imperial grandfather to warm his body." ”

As he spoke, he opened the bamboo basket in his hand, took out a bowl of hot lotus seed soup and respectfully handed it over.

Looking at the lotus seed soup handed over by Zhao Qingzhan in his hand, the look on Zhao Chongyuan's face was warm, and he was not as repulsive as Tian Meiren sent before.

After taking it, he picked it up, like an old man in a peasant family, and took a sip beautifully.

After drinking, he put it aside, touched his beard and smiled: "This is not stewed in the imperial dining room, it should be stewed by your mother." ”

"I know that I can't hide it from the emperor's grandfather."

Seeing that Zhao Chongyuan saw through it, Zhao Qingzhan did not shirk and simply admitted it.

The lotus seed soup stewed by his mother is different from the lotus seed soup stewed by ordinary people.

and when his father was alive.

The three grandfathers and grandsons drank in the East Palace, all stewed by his mother and concubine herself.

This kind of taste is extremely familiar to Zhao Chongyuan.

Therefore, Zhao Chongyuan was able to drink the difference in one sip, and Zhao Qingzhan did not have the slightest surprise.

"Since it was stewed by your mother, why did you shirk it and say that it was stewed in the imperial dining room."

Zhao Chongyuan squinted and asked.

Zhao Qingzhan thought for a moment, and recalled the words confessed by the Qi family when he came: "The mother concubine said that she didn't serve her good father, but she was a sinner of my great work, and she had no shame to come to see the emperor's grandfather. ”

"Serve your father well?"

Hearing this, Zhao Chongyuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Life and death are fixed, how can it be decided whether it is good to serve well or not?"

In the East Palace, there are more than 100 palace maids and eunuchs, and it is also their business to serve, and they should be held accountable if they want to pursue me, and what does it have to do with your mother? ”

After speaking, he waved his hand: "Okay, let's not talk about this." ”

Glancing back at Zhao Xian's tablet behind him, standing up, Zhao Chongyuan said to Zhao Qingzhan: "Today is your father's death day, give your father a pillar of incense." ”

"The grandson takes the order."

Zhao Qingzhan obediently snorted.

He immediately stepped forward and took out the sandalwood incense placed on the high platform, lit it carefully, and used the little green smoke to face the high platform, and after the spiritual seat of Prince Yiwen bowed respectfully three times, he put the three pillars of incense in his hand on the incense burner in the middle of the spiritual platform.

Seeing Zhao Qingzhan so well-behaved, Zhao Chongyuan's expression in his heart became even more complicated.

Looking at Zhao Qingzhan and asked, "In the Heart Cultivation Hall today, have you ever blamed your imperial grandfather for arranging the matter of the prison?" ”

"Grandchildren don't dare."

Zhao Qingzhan replied respectfully, and then continued: "Grandpa Huang is the king of a country, not ordinary people, and everything he thinks about is a major national matter, not from a personal emotional point of view.

Now that the emperor's grandfather has handed over the matter of the prison to Uncle Jiu, it is naturally because Uncle Jiu's talent is suitable to take over this matter, so the grandson has no complaints in his heart. ”

"Good boy."

Listening to Zhao Qingzhan's words, Zhao Chongyuan couldn't help but pat Zhao Qingzhan on the shoulder.

His eyes couldn't help but glance at Zhao Qingzhan more.

In the past, Zhao Qingzhan was stubborn, he didn't want to be a king, but wanted to be a general, and what he said was always out of tune, but now these reasonable words couldn't help but make Zhao Chongyuan look at Zhao Qingzhan more in his heart.

Maybe his grandson has always been very good, but he is just disturbed by the stubbornness on the surface.

"A gentleman must be tolerant, especially as the prince of a country."

Zhao Chongyuan taught, and after speaking, he instructed Zhao Qingzhan: "You go back, let your mother prepare a home-cooked meal, and your imperial grandmother and I will go over later." ”

"Is Grandpa Huang serious?"

Zhao Qingzhan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhao Chongyuan smiled: "Naturally, take it seriously. ”

"Okay, I'll go talk to my mother."

Zhao Qingzhan hurriedly agreed, and ran excitedly towards the outside of the temple.

Since the death of his father, his imperial grandfather has never gone to the East Palace, let alone brought his imperial grandmother with him!

……

"This pulls a faction to fight in a row, unites a part, and then fights a part, how to fight?"

Inside the Yanwang Mansion

Zhao Ding sat on the rattan chair and pondered the last words that Zhao Chongyuan said to him.

As the saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh.

But it's not that simple.

Even in the current case of fraud in the imperial examination, he has a feeling that he has no way to start.

At the last critical moment, the drama I made is the time when the sack is laid out and waiting for Dayu to enter the set, if there is civil strife at this time, all the plans will fall short if you are not careful!

But it is not enough to let these gentry of the noble clan do things under their noses.

The Great Cadre Imperial Examination is held once every three years.

If you miss it, it will be three years later, let alone condone the bad effects of it.

"Lord Wang, you've been thinking about it all day, it's time to eat."

Outside the door, the voice of green peach sounded in the doorway.

Zhao Ding raised his head and glanced at the sky outside the window.

Before you know it, it's evening.

The sun is setting in the west, and the remnant sun is like blood.

It adds a touch of color to this evening.

Zhao Ding stretched his waist, slowly walked out of the gate, looked at the green peach who was already waiting and asked: "Green peach, do you know what it is, pull a faction, fight a faction, unite a part and fight a part?" ”

Lu Tao frowned when she heard this, and looked at Zhao Ding with some confusion: "Lord Wang, what are you talking about?" The slave doesn't understand. ”

"Hehe, yes, this thing is really a little more esoteric."

Zhao Ding grinned and shook his head.

This thing has risen to the level of governing the country, not to mention that Lu Tao doesn't understand it, even he, the prince, can't think of a countermeasure for a while.

However, he listened to Lu Tao and said: "In the past, in Youzhou, when you didn't go, the Qian family and the Sun family occupied most of our land in Youzhou, and their subordinates not only raised a lot of evil slaves, but also deliberately gave benefits to those yeoman farmers who had their own land, as well as some low-rent land for those semi-yeoman farmers.

But it is only to us landless tenant farmers who have always spoken ill of each other, scolding or raising rents at every turn.

Although we tenant farmers have the heart to resist, because the Sun family and the Qian family have those evil slaves and our family's land-owning families and people who want to rent their land, and our own families have land to help them, we ordinary children who are bullied the most dare not resist.

You're here, Lord Wang, and you took Zhang San and Hu San to make an example of them, and those of us who lost our land can live a good life. ”

Lu Tao cleaned up the table for Zhao Ding, and muttered softly in her mouth.

Hearing Lu Tao's words, Zhao Ding's expression froze, but he soon laughed again.

He seems to have found a solution!
