Tokyo, moonless night, cold wind.

Zhao Tong came out of Broken Jade Tower, stretched out his hands to tighten his collar, looked at the sky, and got into the carriage.

The car was squeaking and squeaking as it headed towards the palace. Except for the occasional night guard, there was no one else on the road.

Even if there is no curfew in Tokyo, no people go out in this cold night. Even the thieves are hiding in their homes, stirring the brazier again and again, and then hiding under the quilt, waiting for the night to pass.

Zhao Tong got off the carriage in front of the mansion. At this time, sparse snowflakes were falling from the sky, white and crystal clear, falling on his clothes and slowly melting.

Entering the study, there are two charcoal stoves placed in the middle of the floor. Through the striped furnace walls, you can see that the inside is red, exuding heat from time to time, making the room warm.

Zhao Tong untied his cloak and sat on a chair. A maid brought him Tremella soup. After taking a few sips, he began to write letters. He wrote several letters in one breath, including those from Longyou, Fujian. Then he threw away the pen and leaned on it.

Lost in thought on the chair.

Just the day before yesterday, Yan Qing came to the house and reported that something had happened to Lu Junyi.

This senior brother Lu killed his wife Jia and the family manager Li Gu.

Although Zhao Tong knew that this was a surprise, he thought that after Lu Junyi came to Beijing, this kind of thing would not be followed up, but he did not expect that it would still come out.

Zhao Tan asked Yan Qing about the details. Yan Qing did not dare to hide anything at this time, so he told her everything from beginning to end. Zhao Tan also knew some secrets between him and Lu Junyi.

But that was Lu Junyi's private matter, and he would not interfere with it. Not only did Jia and Li Gu commit adultery, but they also wanted to frame Lu Junyi for trying to seize the family property, so they deserved their death.

Now Lu Junyi is being held in the Daming Mansion Prison. Because he has the imperial martial arts gold medal with him, the Daming Mansion did not close the case after the trial, but handed the certificate to the capital.

Naturally, Zhao Tong could not wait any longer. Although the Yuwu Pai was awarded in the name of Emperor Daojun, Emperor Daojun had never met Lu Junyi and might not even remember his name.

As for the excerpts, they may not be sent to the prison. Most of them will be sent to the Punishment Department when they arrive at Zhongshu's door, and then the Punishment Department will outline it, and the Daming Mansion will directly execute the punishment.

Liang Shijie, the prefect of Daming Prefecture, is Cai Jing's son-in-law. It is difficult for Zhao Yu to mediate. Now he and the Cai family are in deep trouble. His intervention is likely to be counterproductive.

The best way at the moment is to send Lu Junyi to Tokyo instead of staying in Daming Mansion to deal with it, so Zhao Tong registered the official position left for Lu Junyi in advance, and then went to find Emperor Daojun.

The official position given by Zhao Tong to Lu Junyi was the deputy commander of the Ma Jundu Commandery Division. He was considered the deputy of the Majun Division. This official position was not small.

The commander of the capital of the Ma Army is the so-called Ma Shuai, and the deputy commander of the capital is the deputy Ma Shuai.

Lu Junyi is naturally no better than Liu Suiyun. Liu Suiyun is a prodigy and has a great reputation. Lu Junyi has gained an official position in a white body and has risen to the top in one step.

Emperor Daojun naturally didn't say much about this matter. In fact, just taking the imperial martial arts gold medal can get rid of most of the sins. It is a national merit and is proof of the first place in the Liao Arena. Lu Junyi also had a reason for killing.

In Song Dynasty, the punishment for killing adulterous men and women was not so severe, and death was not necessary in some cases.

But Zhao Tong was not at ease, fearing that the Cai family would get in the way after getting the news, so he directly gave Lu Junyi a military position, and then asked Tan Zhen to personally go to Daming Mansion to bring him over.

As long as Lu Junyi arrives in Tokyo, he has the final say in everything. It may not be a capital crime in the first place, and the Yuwu Pai exempts most of the crimes, and Lu Junyi is a senior officer under him, so it is not difficult to directly wipe out the crime.<

/p>

Zhao Tong walked to the middle of the study room to make a charcoal fire for a while. At this time, the snow outside was falling even harder. Looking out through the half-open window lattice, he saw goose-feather-like snowflakes falling from the night sky, seemingly endless.

Usually, a snowstorm overnight will hit Zhongzhou...

The next day, Zhao Tong got up late. The snow outside the window was still falling, but it was much lighter. The scattered snow looked like elves, dancing lightly in the air.

After washing up and eating something casually, Zhao Tong read the official documents sent by the secretary, put on his big cloak and walked out.

At this time, it was approaching noon, the sun had come out, and there were still some scattered snowflakes, but the sky was clearing up, and everything in the house was white, like jade sculptures. Lei San was shouting for someone to sweep the snow, and saw Zhao Tong hurriedly came over to greet him.

.

Zhao Tong looked Lei San up and down, making Lei San's heart tremble, and then said calmly: "The boss is not young, it's time to start a family, don't imitate that bastard Ouyang Bei."

Lei San was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhao Tong's back as he turned away, his heart trembled, thinking, Your Highness, you have the nerve to tell me this?

Zhao Tong strolled all the way and came to the front door of the back house unknowingly.

The back house of the palace is actually quite a big place, with glazed tile eaves on the light yellow palace wall, and a round moon door underneath for entry and exit.

The back house is also divided into many courtyards, some with small buildings, some with pavilions, and some with tall houses.

The architectural layout of the palace is different from other palaces outside, and has a fixed system.

In particular, the back house is quite large, which is naturally for the sake of the prosperity of the royal family. Emperors in the Song Dynasty have always had poor heirs, and this dynasty of Emperor Daojun is an exception. Emperors of all dynasties not only themselves, but also worked hard in the nearby sect. After all, it is really

No matter what happens, close relatives of the royal family can inherit the throne.

For the royal family, having their descendants prosperous and flourishing is a top priority and one of the most important things.

Having no heirs, not working hard, marrying more concubines, and having more children are irresponsible to the royal family and will be reprimanded. Zhao Tong was reprimanded by the Dazong Temple a few days ago.

Not only did Da Zongzheng Temple reprimand him, but he also wrote a thousand words about Zhao Tong's failure to marry him and the troubles he would cause.

Emperor Daojun naturally had a dark face. This was a family matter and had nothing to do with court matters or fighting for power, so he scolded Zhao Tong severely.

Emperor Daojun asked Zhao Tong, what about the Jiangnan women in Sauvignon Blanc? Zhao Tong was confused. He had never been to any Jiangnan women. Did he mean to go to Jiangnan?

Emperor Daojun drove him to Empress Zheng. Empress Zheng took out a folding sheet, on which were written the names of no fewer than a hundred officials in the capital, all of whom had beautiful and virtuous women in their boudoir.

Zhao Tong only glanced at it for a few times before running away with his head in his arms.

Zhao Tong felt that he was indeed irresponsible.

Zhao Huan now has a son, named Zhao Chen, who is the Shaobao of the feudal inspection school, the military governor of Changde, and the Duke of Chongguo.

Zhao Kai also had a son, named Zhao Tailang. Yes, that was the name, Zhilan Yushu, given by Zhao Kai, the number one prince. In the future, he would have a second son named Zhao Heilang.

The fifth prince, Zhao Shu, should also move out of the imperial city and live in Waikaifu next year.

Zhao Tong stood in front of the moon gate of the back house and felt very sad. He really didn't think too much about this at the moment. After all, what he had to do in the future was very complicated or even dangerous, and he didn't want to be too burdened with his family.

However, after Emperor Daojun scolded him, he actually threatened him, saying that if he had no heirs in two years, he would find a suitable adoptee from the royal family. Although this was a common practice in the royal family of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Tong still had some problems. You are stupid. You gave him an adopted child before you even got a wife. Is it possible that the Tao Lord and Emperor have something wrong with their brains due to their cultivation of Taoism?

But this matter is so difficult. You can't just marry her without even recognizing her or having any feelings at all?

Zhao Tong glanced at the Moon Gate. Behind the Moon Gate, it was desolate and deserted. The pavilions were covered with white snow and looked like jade.

Zhao Tong silently thought that if he were to simply choose a suitable candidate for the princess, then Hanmei would be about the same.

However, the prince marrying the daughter of a border general, not to mention that this general comes from the first general in the northwest, is a bit like Sima Zhao. Moreover, Emperor Daojun would not agree to it. It is estimated that all the civil and military ministers of the entire dynasty would have to be Zhezi attacks him.

What if it was an unsuitable candidate? Zhao Tong felt a headache. He turned around and walked back slowly. Along the way, he met Lei San again, but Lei San pretended not to see him. He bent down and lowered his head, "huffing and puffing" with all his strength. Shoveling snow on the ground.

Zhao Tong thought of Empress Zheng's words again, if there is no suitable candidate for the princess, she can just take in a few side rooms first.

It’s just that I have more headaches...
