The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1478
It's just that what she definitely didn't expect was that Zhao Dongting walked out of the imperial study for a quarter of an hour after she left the imperial study.

And this walk was obviously purposeful.

From the most central imperial study room to the main hall, and then to the various yamen around the palace.Finally, Zhao Dongting appeared outside the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

Amid the shouts of the guards, Zhao Dongting walked into the Yamen of the Ministry of War.Then he went directly to Zhong Jian's office.

Zhong Jian, as Minister of the Ministry of War, is much busier than Zhao Dongting, the emperor who left behind.When Zhao Dongting arrived, he was immersed in reviewing documents.

Because he was so focused, he didn't even hear the voice of the guard at the gate shouting long live.

Zhao Dongting walked into the room with a smile and stood in front of Zhong Jian.He looked down at the document he was reviewing, but didn't speak.

This document is about the recruitment of recruits on Kuizhou Road.

Zhong Jian looked very carefully, and occasionally took up a pen to write down a few numbers on the rice paper next to him.

By the time he finished it, nearly 10 minutes had passed.

Probably because of the long working hours, Zhong Jian put down his pen and stretched his waist.At this time, he finally saw Zhao Dongting who was close at hand.

"emperor!"

Zhong Jian hurriedly stood up and saluted, "I kowtow to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

"Free gift!"

Zhao Dongting smiled and helped him up.

Of course, he was quite satisfied with Zhong Jian.The most outstanding talent in the first batch of imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty, and the fastest promoted Jinshi in the Song Dynasty, he did make a lot of contributions to the Song Dynasty.

Perhaps his contributions are not as brilliant as those of the generals who fought on the front lines, but the current situation of the Song Dynasty is inseparable from the efforts of these civil servants.

Zhong Jian stood up, and asked with some doubts: "Why did the emperor come to this minister suddenly?"

Zhao Dongting sat down on his seat and said: "It's nothing, but I'm a bit bored in the imperial study, come out for a walk."

Then, seemingly unintentionally, he asked, "Your wife and family are living in Changsha City, but are they doing well?"

Zhong Jian didn't think too much about it, and said: "The emperor is concerned, and my wife and family members are all well."

"Um……"

Zhao Dongting nodded lightly, "I remember Zhong Aiqing, you don't have any heirs yet, right?"

Zhong Jian's eyes turned strange, but he still replied, "Exactly."

Zhao Dongting said again: "Do you still want it?"

Zhong Jian shook his head lightly, and sighed: "Chen's wife worked at home all year round before Chenwei went to high school. In this life, I'm afraid she won't be able to get pregnant again."

Zhao Dongting couldn't help frowning, "Did you see the imperial doctor in the palace?"

Zhong Jian said: "I have asked the priests of Baicao Hall to look at it."

Zhao Dongting also sighed when he heard the words.

If even Baicaotang has nothing to do with it, then Yu Min might find it really difficult to conceive in this life.God, it's too unfair to treat that woman who has struggled to get ahead.

There are three kinds of unfilial piety in this era, the worst being having no descendants.

Although Zhao Dongting knew that Zhong Jian's parents were kind and honest people, Yu Min might have to listen to some bad things about this kind of thing.

Originally, he just wanted to find out what Zhong Jian said, but now, he really wanted to match Zhong Jian and Wen Qingshu.

After a little silence, he asked, "Then have you thought about marrying again?"

Zhong Jian heard the words and said: "I have been with my wife for many years. Although she cannot bear children for me, I must not do things like chaos and abandonment."

Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said, "What I mean is to ask if you have any idea of ​​taking a concubine?"

Of course Zhong Jian recalled it at this time, and asked suspiciously: "Why did the emperor suddenly think of asking this question today?"

Zhao Dongting only said: "You are Minister of the Ministry of War, I care about you, shouldn't you?"

Zhong Jian said repeatedly: "I dare not."

Then he sighed softly again, and said: "Without Min'er, there would be no Zhong Jian now. I will never let her down in my life. Although I have no descendants, I still have a younger brother in my family. Wait for him to marry a wife in the future Give birth to a son, and our Zhong family will have a descendant. I only want to be with Min'er for the rest of my life, and my heart is enough."

Zhao Dongting pursed his lips, "You really have deep affection for Yu Min. However, I'm afraid that Yu Min might be scruples at home. You are busy with business every day, and she has some things that bother her. I'm afraid no one will tell her. That's not a good thing."

Zhong Jian was silent when he heard the words.

Of course, he knew more about his own affairs than Zhao Dongting.He has also seen Yu Min's depression these days.

He knew it was because of his heir, but he couldn't solve it.

It is the most difficult thing for a man to be caught between his parents and his wife.You can't blame your parents, and you can't blame your wife.

Zhao Dongting said again: "Actually, if you marry another bungalow and let Yu Min have a companion, maybe it can make Yu Min happier."

Zhong Jian looked at Zhao Dongting strangely, "Your Majesty...could it be for whom did you come here to say goodbye?"

Zhao Dongting nodded and said, "You can also say that!"

Zhong Jian fell silent again, and finally said: "I also ask the emperor to forgive me, I have no intention of marrying again."

"it is good."

Zhao Dongting didn't intend to continue persuading him, so he stood up and said with a smile, "Then just pretend I haven't said that and keep busy!"

Then he walked out of the house.

Zhong Jian looked at Zhao Dongting's back thoughtfully.

Although he has no intention of remarrying, he is naturally still a little curious about which woman can have such great energy that the emperor can personally persuade him to remarry.

Zhao Dongting walked out of the Yamen of the Ministry of War with a slight smile on his lips.

He could see that although Zhong Jian had no intention of remarrying, he didn't seem to be as resistant to this matter as he imagined.

He didn't want to marry again, he just didn't want to make Yu Min sad.After all, Yu Min came from an ordinary background, so she already had low self-esteem.If Zhong Jian remarries rashly, she will inevitably feel that she is not worthy of Zhong Jian.

But with Yu Min's approval, there will be a turning point for this matter.

If Yu Min took the initiative to ask Zhong Jian to marry him again, Zhong Jian would not refuse, would he?

Back in the imperial study, Zhao Dongting told Zhang Tingen: "Tingen, you go to Wen Qingshu and give her something for me."

Zhang Tingen was a little puzzled, "Your Majesty, didn't Mr. Wen meet you just now?"

Zhao Dongting said angrily, "Don't worry about it. Go to her and tell her that Zhong Shangshu's wife is a little lonely at home, so let her accompany her when she has time. They are all women, and they always have something in common."

"Oh."

Zhang Tingen scratched his head and walked out of the imperial study in a strange way.

Zhao Dongting smiled, and said in his heart: "Wen Qingshu, I have already done everything I can do for you, it's up to you to succeed!"

After staying in the imperial study for a while, Zhao Dongting asked the eunuch to invite Chen Wenlong.

Chen Wenlong came over soon.

In the imperial study room, he told Zhao Dongting in detail about Wen Zheyan and others' corruption.

This made Zhao Dongting a little helpless.

He knew that people like Wen Zheyan had made great contributions to Song Dynasty, but they could be given honors and official positions, but the hereditary replacement must never be opened again.

If this hole is opened, there will be a mixed situation in the court in the future.Temporary soft-heartedness may bring about the displacement of countless people.

On this day, Wen Qingshu went to Zhong's house after meeting Lu Xiufu and Zhu Hecong.

She came to the door with many gifts, including supplements, cloth, and hairpins.

For her arrival, Zhong Jian's father Zhong Ada, his wife Yu Min and others were quite surprised.

After all, this talented woman from Wenzhou, who was famous in Changsha, had never had any walks with their Zhong family, and their family seemed a bit special in this front street.

Zhong Jian is now an official worshiping Minister of the Ministry of War, and most of the people in the court who are similar to him in rank are from Jiangmen and Shuxiang.If you don't move around, you probably have nothing in common with them.

This led to the arrival of Wen Qingshu, and even made Zhong Ada and others feel flattered.

The honest Zhong Ada had not had time to completely switch to the role of the military minister's father, and his face was still dark.After Jai Ding brought Wen Qingshu into the mansion, he felt a little at a loss, unable to be as generous as some people, so he just asked: "Wen, Miss Wen came to see my Zhong Jian?"

Wen Qingshu blushed and saluted Zhong Ada, "Qingshu has seen Uncle."

Zhong Ada quickly waved his hands, "I can't, I can't. The old man doesn't dare to accept Miss Wen's gift."

Wen Qingshu handed the gift in his hand to the servant, bit his lips, and said, "Actually... Qingshu is here to find Sister Yu."

Zhong Ada and his wife were a little strange, but they didn't ask why, they just said to his wife: "Hurry up and call Min'er out."

His wife hurried towards Yu Min's room.

Then, there was no more words in the living room.

Zhong Ada didn't know what to say even after asking Wen Qingshu to sit down.

Although Zhong Jian is the minister of the Ministry of War, in his heart, people like Wen Qingshu are still top-notch and noble people.
