Yingtian.
The inner courtyard of the palace.
Zhao Chongyuan was lying leisurely on the body of a beautiful concubine, enjoying the comfort from his beloved concubine's little hands.
"Your Majesty, is my concubine's strength okay?"
The concubine's charming voice sounded in Zhao Chongyuan's ears, and Zhao Chongyuan waved his hands lazily: "It's okay, it's okay."
Zhao Chongyuan didn't know whether it was okay or not.
But what he knew was.
This time, Zhao Ding successfully killed Wen Liang, allowing Yuan Jia to attack Wen Ziheng, causing instability within Nanchen.
He used this to get rid of one of the shortcomings that had been left since the founding of Daqian in one fell swoop.
Completely eliminate the Zhou family, the Li family, the Sun family, and the Chen family, the four big borers lying on Da Gan's head to suck blood, and by the way, disintegrate the power of the aristocratic families in Qingzhou and Yizhou, and also destroy these four families. All the hands and feet of the four major families who were promoted to the court were cut off. From then on, all taxes collected from the two richest prefectures and counties of Yizhou and Qingzhou Daqian were completely included in the national treasury to enrich the national treasury.
This can be said to be the most refreshing thing that Zhao Chongyuan has done since he ascended the throne.
By the way, he also threw all the old officials who were waiting for money from him in the front hall.
When he thought of this, Zhao Chongyuan felt even more beautiful in his heart.
Just finished ransacking the house.
These old guys all have noses like dogs, and they followed the smell before the money was calculated.
I haven't even warmed up to this money yet, so I just want to snatch it away. Don't even think about it.
Zhao Chongyuan groaned as he recalled the scene at the court meeting before.
Zhao Chongyuan held the young concubine's little hand, blinked and sighed: "How do you think we should reward Lao Jiu?"
"Ah? Your Majesty, where are you? Isn't His Highness the King of Yan in Youzhou?"
The concubine looked at Zhao Chongyuan with a puzzled look.
Zhao Chongyuan was startled for a moment, then he came to his senses and said with a haha: "Oh, yes, yes, yes, look at my memory, I even forgot that King Yan is not in the capital anymore."
But speaking of Zhao Ding.
He actually missed Zhao Ding's clever appearance.
Finished.
Without waiting for the concubine to speak, she turned over and stood up from the concubine's arms, saying, "There is no need to hold a banquet for me tonight, I want to go to the queen's side."
Listen to this.
A hint of resentment suddenly flashed in the eyes of this charming-looking concubine.
Looking at Zhao Chongyuan, he coughed quickly.
Then, he raised his head and walked out of the gate with his head held high. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell the concubine: "By the way, burn the beautiful girl I brought here and smash it to me!"
"Ah, Your Majesty, don't you like this wine very much?"
Upon hearing Zhao Chongyuan's words, the charming concubine immediately looked at Zhao Chongyuan in confusion.
"It's no use."
Zhao Chongyuan groaned.
"Why is it useless? Isn't your Majesty's wine quite good? It feels similar to the wine that is so popular in the capital these days."
Hearing Zhao Chong's words, the concubine became even more puzzled.
Although she has lived in the palace for a long time, she has heard about the popular wines and dews outside the palace recently, and even asked someone to bring some to her from outside the palace.
That taste....
Don't tell me, it really tastes similar to the Tamonyaki that my Majesty brought today.
The only difference is that the taste of the nectar and jade dew seems to be a bit bland compared to the Tamonyaki.
The key point here is: light!
But even so, it is also a first-class wine.
Now why does His Majesty just throw it away?
The charming concubine looked at Zhao Chongyuan with a puzzled look.
Cough~~~~~
Seeing the confused look on the concubine's face, Zhao Chongyuan couldn't help coughing again. He could only clear his throat and said seriously: "Concubine Jing, if you think it tastes good, just drink more."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and walked out of the harem.
While walking, Zhao Chongyuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Do I want something delicious?
What I want is...
! ! ! !
Son of a bitch.
Wait until I go to Youzhou again to see if I will skin you!
The more he thought about what Zhao Ding said when he promoted this thing to him, the angrier Zhao Chongyuan became.
But the good thing is.
He didn't let Wang Lishi go out and sell this Tamonyaki in the name of the royal family, and he also changed the name...
well...
That's good.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chongyuan couldn't help but grin.
Fortunately, I was so cunning that I changed my name.
Was walking.
Before he had gone far, he saw Wang Lishi running over in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, His Highnesses the King of Qin and King Zhao would like to see you."
"Why are these two traitors here?"
Zhao Chongyuan looked at Wang Lishi with a puzzled look, but then a smile appeared on his face: "Are these two traitors aware that they have admitted their mistakes?"
"Not bad."
Zhao Chongyuan blinked and smiled.
The four families of Zhou, Li, Sun and Chen each have their own attachments.
Among them, the Zhou family is attached to the family of King Qin, and the Li family is attached to the family of King Zhao.
As for the process of confiscating the homes of these four major families this time.
The performance of Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng.
He also listened to Wang Lishi's report.
But he was also a man who knew how to advance and retreat, and he did not let Zhao Chongyuan bear the name of parricide.
This is one of the reasons why Zhao Chongyuan is willing to put down his government affairs and rarely take a break.
"Where are these two traitors?"
Zhao Chongyuan looked at Wang Lishi and asked.
"I'm waiting at His Majesty's Heart-nurturing Hall."
Wang Lishi bowed and replied.
"Heart-nurturing Hall?"
Zhao Chongyuan had a hint of amusement on his face when he heard this.
He originally thought that Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng would find Queen Ma to intercede with them.
Unexpectedly, I went to the Yangxin Hall by myself.
This fact made him, Zhao Chongyuan, quite satisfied.
"Let's go."
Zhao Chongyuan nodded and immediately walked towards the Yangxin Hall first.
When Zhao Chongyuan and Wang Lishi had just arrived at the Yangxin Hall.
I saw brothers Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng running out in a hurry.
One person holds a big treasure in his hand.
Zhao Gang held a glass cup in his hand and ran over. He looked at Zhao Chongxi with a treasured look on his face: "Dad, you see, I spent a lot of money to get the glass cup from Goryeo. It is said that it is The skilled craftsmen of Mobei took out the natural crystal from under the tens of thousands of icebergs. It took three years to carve it. One piece is worth a thousand gold. Your son and I got the skill and sent someone to buy it from a Korean merchant for eight thousand taels of silver. The man refused to sell it at first, but after I explained my righteousness to your son, he reluctantly sold me their ancestral glass cup."
"Um?"
Zhao Chongyuan had a strange look on his face, especially when he heard that Zhao Gang actually spent eight thousand taels of silver, the corners of his mouth trembled uncontrollably.
However, Zhao Chongyuan didn't wait for him to speak.
Zhao Heng pulled Zhao Gang, flatteringly took out a wine bottle from his arms and handed it to Zhao Chongyuan, saying flatteringly: "Dad, look, this is the jade dew and fine wine that I spent a lot of money to get from Zuixian Tower in the capital. This Two keels cost eighty-eight taels of silver, and there is a limited quantity. Only one hundred bottles are sold every day, one tael per bottle.
This pound was finally bought by your son and me after I sent someone to squat for a month. "
At this point, Zhao Heng cleared his throat and came close to Zhao Chongyuan's ear, lowering his voice and said: "I heard that Master Yang's great-great-grandson was actually the child of Master Yang and his concubine after drinking this. He deliberately disclosed it to the outside world for the sake of face. Claimed to be a great-great-grandson.
Dad, you said that if you had this, you might be able to..."
Speaking of which.
Zhao Heng also raised his eyebrows at Zhao Chongyuan.
