Chapter 102 - Political affairs
Lin Bao left Dry Clear Palace and headed south!
There were guards everywhere in the palace. When these guards saw Lin Bao, they all knelt down and waited for Lin Bao to leave before they stood up one by one! Lin Bao seemed to enjoy this state of affairs as he wore a triumphant smile on his face!
Arriving at the front of the Supreme Harmony Temple, Lin Bao stopped in his tracks!
At that moment, there was a figure standing in front of the Supreme Harmony Hall. Under the moonlight, one could see that the person looked to be around fifty to sixty years old.
"This servant greets Master Fold!" Lin Bao hurriedly knelt down and said.
"Get up! You have only been in the palace for half a month, and now, the emperor is no longer in the early morning assembly. Zhe Keqiu said.
"His Majesty is only 11 years old after all, just a child! A child being greedy for sleep and not wanting to go to court early was a very normal thing to do! This servant only mentioned it a few times to His Majesty, but His Majesty didn't go to the imperial court! "Speaking of which, it's not because of me!" Lin Bao said with a charming smile.
"I heard that His Majesty went hunting with you?" Zhe Keqiu said again.
"Yes!" Today, we took a walk in the forest outside of Hanzhong City. His Majesty had shot a sika deer! That sika deer has been brought back, tomorrow morning will be His Majesty's breakfast! Your Majesty is having a great time! " Lin Bao Dao.
"That's right!" Zhe Keqiu nodded.
"It's just that it's such a pity to give that 'Yeshi Lion' to His Majesty!" Lin Bao said.
"It's just a horse, what's the pity? If a horse can be traded for thousands of miles, it would be a bargain! " Zhe Keqiu laughed.
Hearing this, Lin Bao lowered his head, not daring to speak!
"I heard that you guys went to the Changchun View afterwards? What did you do in Changchun View? " Zhe Keqiu said again.
"His Majesty went to Changchun View to visit his master, Wang Zhenren. When the sky is dark, His Majesty and I will return to the Imperial Palace! " Lin Bao Dao.
Zhe Keqiu nodded.
"Master, this Wang Zhenren is from a mysterious place, could he be Li Gang's accomplice?" Lin Bao Dao.
"Don't worry about that!" The Taoist surnamed Wang had nothing to do with Li Gang! I have already sent people to investigate. In the past, he was quite famous in the Middle Han Area and his generation. Li Gang and the others had never interacted with him before! After that, His Majesty was severely ill. Li Gang sent people to look for a famous doctor, only then did they manage to find him. He came to the Middle Han Area, and after treating His Majesty, he even tempted His Majesty to take him as his master. He thought his majesty was the Son of Heaven, the Emperor. As long as he became the Master of the Son of Heaven, he would be able to prosper! Hahahaha, how delusional! This little cultivator is extremely laughable! " Zhe Keqiu laughed.
Lin Bao, who was standing at the side, 'involuntarily' revealed a coquettish smile! It was as if he was born with the art of flattering others. As long as a superior laughed, he would immediately laugh along with them! He also didn't know how Zhe Keqiu found such a despicable person!
"Very well, you better take a good look at His Majesty! From now on, if His Majesty didn't go to court early, then there would be no need to court early! You can find anything the emperor likes to play with! In the future, I will definitely not treat you unfairly! I will definitely give you the benefits that I should have given you! You are now merely the steward of the Dry Clear Palace, and before long, you will be the general steward of the Imperial Palace! At that time, your power and influence will also be monstrous, and you will be inexhaustible! " Zhe Keqiu said.
"Thank you, master!" Lin Bao kneeled down again as he smiled charmingly.
Zhe Keqiu did not speak anymore, he turned and walked towards the exit of the palace, and only then did Lin Bao stand up! His eyes were filled with a complicated expression. After a while, Lin Bao once again headed in the direction of the Dry Clear Palace! Before long, he returned to the Dry Clear Palace, and slept outside Zhao Chen's room!
Zhao Chen had just been shocked awake by Lin Bao, and now he was hearing Lin Bao's voice again!
He lay on the bed, but he was no longer sleepy!
He did not know where Lin Bao had gone to, nor did he know what Lin Bao had done outside!
For a moment, he was slightly perturbed in his heart! Countless of disorderly thoughts rushed into Zhao Chen's mind, making it difficult for him to sleep!
"Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian left the palace. Right now, there is no one else in the palace who is close to them! There are Zhe Keqiu's people everywhere, Lin Bao is Zhe Keqiu's people, even Managed's Director Kang An is also Zhe Keqiu's person!
"Wang De has also left the Middle Han Area. I don't know when he'll be able to return! Li Gang stayed in the Middle Han Area, but was never able to enter the Imperial Palace! In the imperial court, I usually wear a mask when facing him! "
"Master and Junior are in the Changchun View outside, but I told them to come to the palace to accompany me, so they weren't willing either!"
Zhao Chen lied there, feeling extremely lonely!
Although this was the Imperial Palace, although there were countless of guards here, and even the talkative Lin Bao, Zhao Chen did not feel any form of warmth!
Everyone made him feel strange, everyone made him wary! In front of these people, although Zhao Chen was saying it loudly and laughing, what he said and said were all lies! He had a fake face in front of everyone!
In the darkness of the night, for some reason, Zhao Chen felt extremely wronged!
In just a moment, tears were streaming down his face!
"Damn it!" I'm crying! How could this be allowed? I am the Son of Heaven, the Master of the Central Plains of Song Dynasty! When I left the Kaifeng City, I swore to drive out the Tataru and restore the Central Plains! Now that you're so weak, how can you accomplish anything big? "
"Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, Wang De, Li Gang, Li Ruoshui and the others are working hard for me. If I become weak, how will I lead them in the future?"
"The heavens will descend upon the saints, and they will first suffer the pain of their will, toil their bones, starve of their skin, and waste their energy. They will do whatever they want, so they will not be able to increase their endurance! God placed the heavy responsibility on my shoulders. Everything in front of me was just to train me, to train me! He had to be strong, he had to be strong! I can't cry, I definitely can't cry! "
However, no matter how much he tried to convince himself, he could not suppress the tears that were welling up in his eyes!
In the end, Zhao Chen had to use the blanket to cover his head, and his tears slowly soaked the blanket!
At this moment, he wished that there was someone by his side, but there was no such person! Whether it was Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian or others, they were all people that he had sent away intentionally or not! If he had insisted on staying that day, these people might have been able to stay! However, these people were useless in staying in the Middle Han Area. On the contrary, if they lacked their power, Zhao Chen might never be able to wield power, and would forever be trapped in the Middle Han Area!
"Where is A Yao now? Is she all right? "How laughable, I will tell her the story of the martial arts world, she should be a person of the martial arts world!" After a long while, Zhao Chen finally calmed down, but at that moment, he suddenly thought of the woman called "A Yao"! He and A Yao had only stayed inside for a little more than ten days. Other than A Yao who had poisoned him in the end, they had gotten along very well with each other during the rest of the time! He still remembered A Yao's beauty and gentleness!
"As a Sovereign King, you can't be weak, you can't be soft-hearted! This A Yao, actually dared to poison me to death, and is my greatest enemy! From now on, she would never think of this girl again! If you have the chance in the future, you must kill this woman! " After a moment, Zhao Chen fiercely clenched her teeth, her eyes revealing a determined look!
He was afraid of being weak, and at this moment, he could not tolerate any thoughts of weakness!
"Tomorrow we still have to deal with Lin Bao, Zhe Keqiu and many other guards! "Sleep!" Zhao Chen's mood was finally completely calm. He closed his eyes and started to sleep!
When he woke up on the second day, Zhao Chen was once again brimming with energy and vitality.
Zhao Chen came to the entrance of Dry Clear Palace, stretched his back and said: "Lin Bao, today I woke up a little late, and did not go to court early! Have the civil and military ministers of the court said anything? "
Lin Bao smiled charmingly and said, "Your Majesty, please be at ease. The ministers of the court will not dare to say anything! I have already passed down the decree for His Majesty, saying that when His Majesty read the books last night, he was exhausted and did not wake up! The ministers were all concerned about His Majesty's health and asked him to rest well. He did not have to worry about the political affairs, as they would take care of all of them! "
Zhao Chen smiled, and said: "Very good! Let's go outside again today! It's just that I don't need to bring that many people with me today. As long as I have more than a thousand people, I will be able to protect my Emperor! "
Lin Bao said with a charming smile: "Whatever Your Majesty says is fine! I'll arrange it right now! Also, Your Majesty, the sika deer that you shot to death with the divine arrow yesterday has been brought back. I have already ordered the steward of the royal kitchen to cook it properly.
Zhao Chen seemed to be extremely happy, and said: "Lin Bao, it looks like you understand our intentions! Alright, quickly get them to bring the venison over! "
After a while, the venison was served up. Zhao Chen chewed on it carefully. The two half a foot long puppies from the Dry Clear Palace revolved around Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen fed the meat to them to eat.
Not long after, the Jade Lion Horse was brought out of the Dry Clear Palace. Zhao Chen mounted on the horse and rode outside, with Lin Bao and a group of guards following behind him. An hour later, they once again arrived at the hunting grounds from yesterday!
For the entire day, Zhao Chen stayed out hunting and playing! At dusk, he came to the Changchun View to learn sword techniques from Wang Chongyang.
On the third day, Zhao Chen still did not go to the morning assembly, he went out to hunt, and went to the Changchun View to learn sword techniques!
It had been three days since he left for the imperial court, and the imperial court was in peace! Other than Li Gang, not a single official came forward to say anything! All the ministers seemed to enjoy hearing about this!
On the morning of the fourth day, all the ministers had arrived by the time the fourth! When it was the fifth fragment of the night, the doors to the palace opened and all the ministers entered the Supreme Harmony Hall!
Zhao Chen did not come to the morning assembly. Instead, he looked at the throne of the emperor on top of the throne and could not help but frown!
