In the palace of Prince Qi, there are carved beams and painted buildings, which are magnificent and vast.

At this moment, it was not late yet, and the Jade Rabbit was still white with frost. Zhao Tong was sitting on the chair in the middle hall, with his eyes slightly closed, holding a cup of drink in his hand, rolled it into a thin tube with thick kraft paper, and drank slowly. The strange feeling in his heart The feeling arises spontaneously again.

This is not the first time he has felt like this. He has felt like this several times since he traveled through time, but he always couldn't figure it out.

Originally, the second son of the Daojun Emperor of this dynasty died young, on the second day after his birth, and it was at this time that he traveled through time and was in his infancy.

I originally wanted to compete for the ninth-five position, and then work hard to govern and become the king of ZTE. However, as I got to know more about this dynasty, I found that the difficulty was too high.

The situation of this dynasty at the moment is not much better than that of the late Ming Dynasty. It is prosperous on the outside, but internally and externally exhausted. It emphasizes culture over martial arts, and the tail cannot be lost. It is a reflection of the chaos of the Five Dynasties. The Chenqiao incident has been overcorrected. Jin'ou is incomplete. The court hall , nothing is done, the people are deeply resentful, the officials are like jackals, the country is shaken, and there is no way to survive. Those who live in a daze will be Qingming.

It's rotten from the roots.

How else could this happen? It is no longer of much use to work hard to cure the disease. Even scraping the bones and treating the poison is just drinking poison to quench the thirst. There is no choice but to smash the old world and save the country with swords and guns!

But Zhao Tong was wondering about the strange feeling in his heart. After he traveled through time, Wen Ke had a photographic memory, and Wu Ze knew everything, but this strange feeling in his heart always seemed to be missing somewhere.

"Your Majesty, there is a letter." A man walked in outside the door and called him Lei San.

"Didn't I say that now that this king has entered the court, it would be better to address him as "Xiao Xianggong"? Zhao Tong put down his drink and said.

Lei San smiled awkwardly and stepped forward to present the things: "My father-in-law Mi sent it to me."

Zhao Tong took the letter and read it quickly. It was nothing serious. It was just that Mi Zhenting, the Imperial City Secretary, had an old friend who also lived in the temple and had the title of Taiwei. However, a few decades after he became an official, During the years, the children were incompetent, and eventually the family fell into decline, to the point where it was difficult to survive, so they took their most promising descendants to defect, and this father-in-law recommended him.

After Zhao Tong read it, he couldn't help but smile. Eunuch Mi was not a high-ranking official in the inner court. The Imperial City Secretary was originally a low-ranking official, and he was sidelined by the Imperial City Secretary. He was regarded as a sinecure. But in the inner court, , but no one wanted to provoke him, including several powerful eunuchs.

The reason is that this Eunuch Mi is so lively that he has served in the palace since the time of Renzong. Now he has served in the five dynasties. During the time of Shenzong, he also served as the eunuch and provincial supervisor, in charge of all eunuchs and eunuchs. Later, when he got older, He was unwilling to leave the palace. After Emperor Daojun of this dynasty succeeded to the throne, he found it difficult to find a job, so he was granted a sinecure and has been supporting himself in his old age ever since.

But to be honest, Zhao Tong couldn't understand this Eunuch Mi. When other eunuchs gained power, such as Yang Jian and Li Yan, they tried their best to get gold, silver, and silk, and then purchased industrial land outside, and used all possible means to rob it. .

This father-in-law did not buy any real estate or land. Perhaps... he had no money? Zhao Tong thought about it, but he had never heard that his father-in-law was involved in political affairs. If he was not involved, how could he get so much gold and silver?

The old lieutenant in the letter whose family was in decline was about the same age as Eunuch Mi. He was an official in the Renzong Dynasty and an official in the Yingzong Dynasty. At that time, the government was relatively clear, so he probably didn't leave much behind. The road back is now dead. If the old lieutenant hadn't been alive to support it, it would have been ruined long ago.

Zhao Tong thought that it was not a big deal, not to mention the various people he needed to gather at the moment, so he made a note of it in his mind.

In a blink of an eye, the sky darkened, and there was music coming from the distant Fan Tower with the wind. Although it was only a curl, it was also silky, but then it was covered up by the noise on the Bian River. It was a different kind of style, which made Zhao The thought of going to Zhouqiao for a walk arose in his heart.

As soon as he stepped out of the pear-shaped wooden door of the main hall, Butler Zhou from the palace hurried over, crossing his hands to announce that the palace commander Gao Taiwei had sent something.

Zhao Tong was heartbroken and asked someone to bring it up to take a look. He found several boxes of silver, about ten thousand taels. He knew that Gao Qiu knew about what happened today. Although he couldn't express how resentful he was, he still sent money as a gift and couldn't help but sneer. Twice.

After standing with his hands behind his hands and looking at the box for a while, Zhao Tong called Lei San and said, "Go to the Jiaofang Department and call Qi Hongyu over."

Less than half an hour later, a young lady entered the palace. The young lady had skin like cream, a face like peach blossoms, fine eyebrows and handsome eyes, and a plump figure. She was wearing a gouache skirt. With a smile at the corner of her mouth, she said a blessing to Zhao Tong and said: "Young Master is looking for me."

Zhao Tong glanced at her, and then said: "There is something I need you to do. There is no need to go through the official route. You can go to Suiyulou to pick out the manpower and we will set off tomorrow."

Qi Hongyu was slightly shocked and said, "Master, please make it clear."

Zhao Tong tapped a few boxes of silver with his chin and said, "Go to Tangyin County, Xiangzhou to find someone and send these things to his home."

Qi Hongyu glanced at the wooden box on the ground and said, "Who does the young master want to give it to? Do you have a detailed address?"

Zhao Tong thought for a while and said: "It's probably a town or village below Tangyin County. This man is a young man, called Yue Fei. He is about two or three years younger than me. He knows the art of war and is good at martial arts. His family should not be rich. "

Qi Hongyu nodded and said, "Master, since I'm not going to go to the government, I'm afraid it will take some time to find this young man."

Zhao Tong stretched out, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. If I'm not mistaken, Teacher Zhou Tong should be there at the moment. It shouldn't be difficult to find it. When the thing was delivered, it was divided into two, and the Yue family was divided into two parts." One share for Teacher Zhou Tong, and if the teacher is not here, it will all stay with the Yue family."

"Where is Master Zhou?" Qi Hongyu's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this, and he lowered his head and said, "Hongyu knows, Hongyu will go and prepare now."

Seeing her slightly nervous expression, Zhao Tong smiled and said, "Don't you ask why you don't send someone else to do this kind of thing, but let one of your girls do the job?"

Qi Hongyu said: "Young master must have his own reasons."

Zhao Tong said: "This aunt of the Yue family is a hero among women. She is loyal and courageous, and she will never accept gold or silver for nothing. You are a woman, so you can always say something better than those reckless men."

Qi Hongyu thought for a while and said, "Please, Master, teach me."

Zhao Tong shook his head: "You are also very smart, why do you need me to teach you about this kind of thing? It's always a gift from the senior brother to the junior brother. If she still refuses to accept it, he will talk about righteousness and ask her if the Yue family has the heart to serve the country with loyalty? If there is, how can the country not show anything? Just say that I have high expectations for this junior brother!"

Qi Hongyu said: "Hongyu understands."

Zhao Tong sighed softly, and then said: "Although the words are not fair, it can only be so. If you see Teacher Zhou Tong and change my words, the position of the chief instructor of the Forbidden Army is vacant. I miss him very much. .”

Qi Hongyu saluted again, and then Lei San called the guards and secretly transported several boxes out of Prince Qi's Mansion.
