The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1469 Changing Yuan Dingchang
Mei Qingzi walked into the room, and put the food box on the table with the two maids.

She blushed a little, her voice was as low as ever, "Mei Qingzi came here to bring some snacks and sushi for the emperor and all the empresses to taste."

After speaking, he saluted and walked towards the door.

There was a deep loneliness that couldn't be concealed on that extremely pretty face.

This can't help but remind Zhao Dongting of his confidante in his previous life, the girl who was his childhood sweetheart.

When she was in college, she fell in love with a handsome, basketball-playing boy who was well-known in the school. She finally mustered up the courage to write a love letter to the boy, but the boy said that he only wanted to study.At that time, the expression on her face was surprisingly similar to that of Mei Qingzi at this time.

At that time, because of this incident, Zhao Dongting was full of disgust towards that boy.Now, it is somewhat understandable.

Maybe it's because the boy has a girl he likes.

But it still made him feel a little guilty.

Looking at Mei Qingzi, he had the urge to ask her to stay.It's just that the words came to my lips a few times, but I forcibly held back them.

And at this moment, Le Chan tugged Zhao Dongting's sleeve lightly, and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to let Princess Meiqingzi spend the New Year alone in Yiren Palace tonight?"

Zhao Dongting said casually, "There shouldn't be a Chinese New Year custom in Japan, right?"

Le Chan gave him a charming look, "Princess Meiqingzi, we also made some dumplings, why don't you stay here and eat?"

Mei Qingzi turned her head in an instant, her eyes filled with surprise.

Growing up in the Japanese imperial palace, she rarely had contact with outsiders, and there was no city in reason.It is no different from white paper.

Whatever you think in your heart, you will often express it on your face.

Then, she looked at Zhao Dongting with great expectation.

Zhao Dongting scratched his head and said, "The princess will stay here!"

Mei Qingzi lowered her head shyly, but walked quickly into the room.

The eyes of the two maids behind her were filled with joy, and they smiled slightly.Seeing the beautiful and unassuming Mei Qingzi sadly in the palace these days, even they feel distressed.

This night, Mei Qingzi seemed very happy, busy with other things, not treating herself as a princess at all.This made the eunuchs and maids serving in the palace a little at a loss.

Le Chan and other girls told her to stop busy work several times, but Mei Qingzi always took a break and continued to work, which made all the girls dumbfounded.

It was only later that I found out that Mei Qingzi did not live a life in which she stretched out her clothes to eat and opened her mouth in the Japanese imperial palace.Even the old thief, General Zheng Yi, didn't arrange a maid for her.

Such a princess is also considered pitiful.

This can't help but make De Lechan and other women look at her with a little more pity.

Then all the women chattered and asked about Mei Qingzi's life in the Japanese palace.Zhao Dongting couldn't get in the way at all, and finally went out to take the children to set off fireworks.

The emperor of Song Dynasty became the capital of the children's regiment.

Meiqingzi didn't go back to Yiren Palace until the night sky gradually stopped fireworks and the children were asleep.

Concubine Yang Shu and others also left.

Zhao Dongting counted and counted, it was Le Chan's turn to attend the bed tonight, so he stood beside Le Chan with a shy face, the meaning was self-evident.

Le Chan blushed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you go to see Princess Meiqingzi tonight? I don't think she will refuse your majesty's favor?"

Zhao Dongting didn't dare to accept this, he just said: "It's better to sleep comfortably in your bed."

All the girls laughed, and when Le Chan was a little too shy, they each went back to their rooms.

Zhao Dongting was in a good mood, and didn't care that there were eunuchs and maids in the palace, he picked up Le Chan by the waist and walked towards Le Chan's room.

Le Chan exclaimed, but the corner of her mouth was filled with a very happy smile.

Although the life in this deep palace is somewhat boring, she also feels satisfied with Zhao Dongting and so many sisters.

The next day.

New Year's Day.

The first year of Dingchang in the Song Dynasty.

The decree to change the yuan has been sent to various places by the Ministry of State, but there are still necessary procedures.

Zhao Dongting got up from the bed when it was still dark, and went to the courtyard to practice internal strength, sword intent, and swordsmanship.Then some court ladies dressed him and the ladies, and took Zhao An, Zhao Ru, Zhao Shuya and other little guys to the main hall.

When they arrived at the main hall, ministers such as Lu Xiufu, Wang Wenfu, Su Liuyi, etc. were already waiting in the main hall, as well as Yuan Zhenzi and others who rushed over from Mount Heng.

To offer sacrifices to the ancestral temples of heaven and earth to change the Yuan Dynasty, they are indispensable.

After waiting for a while, when Xie Daoqing, Concubine Yang Shu and other relatives of the emperor arrived, a large group of people left the palace.

Zhao Da led thousands of flying dragon soldiers to wait at the gate of the palace.

The streets of Changsha in the early morning looked a little deserted, and the team flying the flags went straight to the Temple of Heaven.Occasionally, a passerby saw that it was Zhao Dongting's guard of honor, and quickly knelt down on the ground.

After arriving at the Temple of Heaven, Yuan Zhenzi and others set up an altar to pray for blessings.All the Taoist priests chanted in unison.

Wearing a dragon robe, Zhao Dongting climbed to the Temple of Heaven and prayed to the Ancestral Temple of Heaven and Earth in front of all civil and military officials. The Song Dynasty was officially changed to Yuan Dingchang.

This is Zhao Dongting's first change of Yuan since he succeeded to the throne, and it is destined to leave a heavy mark in the history books.

After the sixth day of the new year, all the yamen of the Song court resumed operation.

Wen Yuanli and more than a dozen officials who had previously served in Changsha took their families to Guangnan West Road under the escort of the imperial army.

At the same time, Chen Wenlong, who had passed the New Year's Eve from Jingjiang Mansion, also returned to the Zhen Guo Military Region.Then began to punish Wen Zheyan and others.

With him around, the government office on Guangnan West Road would not be in a state of chaos.

On the rather lively street, Wen Zheyan, Hong Quanbo, Huang Quanqun, Shao Liguo and other dozens of criminals who were sentenced to death, their implicated family members, and those who were closely related to them were full of excitement. There are more than 200 numbers.There are not so many prison cars in the entire Jingjiang mansion dungeon, so many people are detained in the army.

Of course, this caused a lot of commotion in Jingjiang Mansion.

And this is not all the people who are related to the corruption case of Wen Zheyan.

A few other officials who were not so popular were taken to the Jingjiang mansion, but they were not arranged to be executed in this batch.

This is Zhao Dongting's instruction.

He had to leave some people for Wen Yuanli to kill, so that the people of Guangnan West Road would not be so resistant to Wen Yuanli's appointment as the Jiedushi of Guangnan West Road.

On this rather special day, Wen Zheyan, Shao Liguo and others lost their souls in the vegetable market.

The corruption case that caused a sensation in the Song Dynasty was almost over at this time.

Chen Wenlong has ordered the Jingjiang government office to report the crimes of Wen Zheyan and others, which made countless people in the city applaud.

The firecrackers rang non-stop in the city, and it was unknown whether it was to celebrate the New Year or to send off the dead souls of Wen Zheyan.

Hundreds of heads fell to the ground at Caishikou, and then Chen Wenlong and Liu Hongyi led the soldiers back to the city, and sent their horses to report the incident to Changsha.

Years later, Zhao Dongting visited the mansions of many veteran ministers who had made great contributions to the Song Dynasty, and finally he was able to relax a little.

Only at this time, the imperial examination is already on the agenda.

The exhausted Zhao Dongting directly handed over the matter to his subordinates for arrangement.

At this moment, the chief examiner of the new imperial examination has been settled.It caused a lot of discussion in the court.

Because Zhao Dongting did not hand over the position of examiner to Lu Xiufu and other veterans, nor did he hand it over to officials from the Ministry of Education, but to Zhong Jian, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

This is not just as simple as the emperor's trust in Zhong Jian, what is more worthy of deliberation is that the emperor is now more and more willing to hand over the burden to these young and strong officials.

The trend of changing the blood of the Song court became more and more obvious.

Unsurprisingly, in this new first year, more and more young and strong officials will take up the burden.But for people like Lu Xiufu and others, it can be said that the rights are constantly being diluted.

Only Lu Xiufu, Wang Wenfu and others did not have any resistance to this.

When Zhao Dongting decided to appoint Zhong Jian as the chief examiner of the new subject, he invited them to the Yushufang to discuss.

At that time, Zhao Dongting said that these people have worked hard for the Song Dynasty for most of their lives, and it is better not to work too hard in order to enjoy the blessings in the future.

This is similar to the release of military power with a glass of wine. If you really want to deliberate with malicious thoughts, it is purely Zhao Dongting who wants to deprive them of their rights.

But Lu Xiufu and others knew that the emperor cared about them.As the emperor said, they are all old.

The emperor is not the kind of person who wants to gather all the powers in one person, and his favor to them is also to the extreme.All these people in their lives only want to see the Great Song Dynasty prosper, and now their wish has been fulfilled, and they don't have much obsession with the rights in their hands.

It's time to rejoice...

If it weren't for the fact that they haven't reached the age of retirement yet, Zhao Dongting might ask them to retire, and they would all agree immediately.
