The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 49: Hidden in the City

The emperor gave a secret order, and Zhao Tong became a complete idler. There were only a few guests in front of the door, but the emperor did not treat him badly. His monthly salary added up to 20,000 yuan, which was one of the few among the officials of the Song Dynasty. High quality

Xinxin then tried to find a concubine for him among the ministers' female relatives, but was rejected by Zhao Tao. He still had three people living outside, and marrying a few more would be enough to make up two tables of mahjong, but the emperor still sent him more than ten concubines.

A beautiful palace maid.

Zhao Tong understood the meaning at a glance. The emperor's brother was following Taizu's example of "releasing military power over a glass of wine", which meant that he could stay at home and enjoy the glory and wealth without having to worry about anything. But don't even think about going out.

Even if you want to visit the capital, you have to get seven or eight stamps. If you want to visit your parents in Longde Palace, you have to report and write an application half a month in advance. Even the newspaper sent to his house is a condensed version.

Zhao Tong seemed to have accepted his fate. If he was asked to wait, he would rest. Every morning when he got up, he would wander around the mansion, play a few times, and then have breakfast with the princess. If the weather was good, he would go fishing in the pond in the garden to catch up.

When it's windy or rainy, I just read in the study. Anyway, it's enough for the three of us to eat...

One day after breakfast, Zhu Shuzhen accompanied the prince to the garden. It was early summer, and the garden was very beautiful with red flowers and green willows. When he walked to the foot of a rockery, there was a patch of peonies planted there. Zhao Tong saw several flower workers pruning the branches, cultivating the soil and watering the flowers.

Water, he suddenly walked closer, grabbed the shovel from a gardener's hand, and frantically shoveled down all the budding flower plants!

"My lord, what's wrong with you? Stop your lord quickly!" Zhu Shuzhen exclaimed.

"Get out of the way!" Several flower workers were also frightened and stood aside at a loss. After hearing the princess's instructions, they hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but were thrown away by the prince. They had never seen the prince like this before.

He had a murderous look on his face and a fierce glare in his eyes, as if he had a deep hatred for these flowers and plants.

"Your Majesty..." Zhu Shuzhen was also frightened and shouted before stepping forward in person.

"Don't worry about him, he will be fine soon!" Xiao Mei, who was following behind, heard the screams and rushed over, but held the princess back and said. High-quality updates are here

"Sister Xiao, what's wrong with the prince?" Zhu Shuzhen asked with a cry.

"It's okay. Your Majesty must be feeling depressed and going crazy for a while." Xiao Mei sighed and said, waving her hands to let the flower workers leave.

Zhu Shuzhen looked at the prince in the flower garden. In a short time, there was a piece of broken flowers and branches lying on the ground, but he had no intention of stopping. Maybe he felt that the robe on his body was in the way, so he took off two handfuls and threw them aside.

Zhu Shuzhen dropped her leather boots and threw herself into the water again. She looked at the mad prince and shed tears unconsciously...

"The tiger is imprisoned in a cage, and the general is trapped in a fighting room!" These days, the prince often shouted loudly in his sleep to kill, waking her up. Zhu Shuzhen looked at this huge palace, but to the prince, it was just a cage, and a man with great ambitions would be trapped.

A warrior who was galloping on the battlefield was imprisoned in this small place. How could he not feel depressed and aggrieved? But who could he tell these things to?

"Your Majesty, take a break and drink some tea!" Zhao Tong, who was still immersed in the crazy pleasure, was pulled back by the gentle words. Zhu Shuzhen took out the scented handkerchief and wiped the sweat from the prince's face.

"Oh!" Zhao Tong obeyed and Ren Zhu Shuzhen wiped off his sweat and picked off the flowers and leaves that fell on his body. Only then did he realize that nearly an acre of peonies had been destroyed by his shovel.

"Enough madness, come and take a rest in the pavilion, you scared the princess!" Xiao Mei came over and slapped the prince, put some clothes on him, and said angrily.

"Haha, just on a whim, I suddenly found that this land can grow some vegetables, which is just right for fresh food!" Zhao Tong said with an embarrassed smile.

"Why did the prince think of farming again?" Xiao Mei was stunned for a moment and said, thinking of the greenhouse in Beifu, did the prince want to move that one too?

"I have to find something to do..." Zhao Tong looked at the sky and said sadly. In the past, he had always hoped that one day he could live a peaceful life where he could take care of his wife and children, not worry about food and drink, and not care about worldly affairs, but he really needed to be free.

, but he felt empty in his heart and uncomfortable all over.

In.High-quality update, I miss the boring daily fighting and busy life in the past. This may be human nature. When you are used to being at the pinnacle of power and controlling people's life and death, when you suddenly lose

When I saw all this, I felt lost and at a loss!

"It's okay, it saves you from feeling like you have lost your soul every day and you don't know what to do!" Xiao Mei sighed and said lovingly, this world is too small, I'm afraid it can't accommodate the prince, but she believes that a tiger will be a tiger after all, and one day

Stepping into the mountains and forests is still king.

"I'm going to plant courgettes and beans here, some radishes there, and a few leeks. I wonder what Zhen'er likes to eat?" Zhao Tong drank a bowl of water and pointed to a messy flower bed and started.

His plan.

"Whatever the prince likes, I like!" Zhu Shuzhen said.

"Hee hee, then let the husband sing and the wife follow, and follow her husband to plant beans down the mountain!" Zhao Tao stretched out his hand and scratched Zhu Shuzhen's face and said with a playful smile.

"Your Majesty wants to imitate Tao Gong and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, but how can you live in seclusion and escape from the world in this prosperous place!" Zhu Shuzhen said.

"As the saying goes: A small hermit hides in the wild, a middle hermit hides in the city, and a big hermit hides in the court. As a husband, you can't hide in the wild, and you can't hide in the court. You can only hide in the mountains and rivers of the palace!" Zhao Tong said with a smile!

, but everyone could clearly see the helpless bitterness on the prince’s face.

"Then let's build a thatched house in this garden, plant a few weeping willows, move some bamboos, build a stone bridge, change it into a rural scenery, and change this pavilion into a 'city hidden pavilion'?" Zhu Shuzhen said.

He pointed around and said.

"Haha, the large-scale construction work has polluted the hidden word. Just be content with the situation and enjoy yourself!" Zhao Tong said with a wry smile. This young lady is really an idealist. She is on a par with her father, but she did it in the midst of prosperity.

Be ordinary.

"Isn't it that the prince is just on a whim and finds it difficult to sleep in this hut because of its simplicity?" Zhu Shuzhen looked at the prince and teased.

"Haha, you underestimate me. It's common for me to fight on the battlefield, climb on the ice and sleep in the snow, sleep in the wilderness, and sleep with corpses. It's a blessing to have a thatched hut to hide from the wind and rain. How can I say it is simple!" Zhao Tong looked innocently!

Zhu Shuzhen laughed and said.

"Your Majesty, on the battlefield, troops are ordered from high platforms, war drums are like thunder, gold and iron horses are deployed, soldiers are equipped with strong armor, troops are deployed to cover up the enemy, and enemy formations are beheaded. Thinking about how spectacular it is, I want to see it!" Zhu Shuzhen said with a fascination on her face.

He said, as if it was a very interesting game.

"The most deadly weapon of a warrior country is war. It is the last choice. It is the most cruel, inhumane thing in the world, and the most helpless choice. When you see the piles of bones after the war and the dying cries of the soldiers, think about it.

You may never come back, and you will never want to experience that again. It is the most miserable thing in the world. It is not a magnificent thing, but a nightmare!" Zhao Tong's face twitched and he said in a deep voice.

"Don't talk nonsense, you're scaring the princess!" The war in the poem was always described as so grand and grand, but in the prince's mouth it was completely the opposite. After hearing this, Zhu Shuzhen's face was full of astonishment, and Xiao Mei quickly interrupted the prince's words.

"Okay, let's not talk about those tragic events. Let's think about what else to plant?" Zhao Tong said with a smile.

"Is it true that the prince killed the Jurchen general this time?" Zhu Shuzhen seemed to still be immersed in the prince's words and asked again.

"Of course, he is a Jurchen Wanhu, brave and good at fighting. The gold master Aguda once gave him a gold medal to show his bravery. When he attacked Liao, he led a hundred cavalry into the Khitan army of tens of thousands and killed the commander before returning. I beheaded him and captured it.

He still has the gold medal in his hand, so it can still be fake!" Zhao Tong said.

"No wonder the prince still shouted to kill the thieves in his dream. It turned out to be not a rumor!" Although Zhu Shuzhen heard the victory report that the prince killed the general and captured the flag, she thought that her gentle husband did not look like a man who could personally go into battle to kill the enemy, so she

This question.

"Princess, despite his scholarly appearance, tens of thousands of people have died at his hands. I could talk about this in a few days, and he would lie about killing an enemy general!" Xiao Mei looked at it

The princess couldn't help but shake her head. She didn't even understand her husband. This wife was really unqualified. No wonder the prince didn't like her!

"The prince has suffered a lot in the past few years. Tomorrow I will farm with the prince!" Zhu Shuzhen touched the prince's face and smiled...

………

The Jin soldiers retreated, and the crisis was temporarily resolved, but Zhao Huan was not very excited. The Jurchens did not return King Su as promised. His mother cried several times in front of him, but the Jurchens sent envoys several times to force the delivery of annual coins and negotiate for peace.

The appropriate thing

, as soon as the autumn tax was collected, he sent most of it to the Jurchens. But it was difficult to collect the required mules and horses, so he had to forcibly recruit them from the people. In the end, he had to send the generals and horses together. However, the Jurchens disliked the fact that most of the horses were old and weak.

It must be made up with money.

During this period of time in the DPRK, there were also turmoils. Although Li Gang was driven away, those who were leading the battle were still unwilling to give in. They wanted to reorganize their weapons, repair the city, recruit and expand the army, and prevent the Jin army from going south again. Xixia also joined in the fun, not only

past

They did not give them any yearly coins or tribute, and they repeatedly sent troops to invade the border and harass Lingxia and other prefectures. At first, they relied on the garrison troops to guard and defend to the death. The local government also asked for reinforcements many times, but now there is no money to use. Everything is not going well.

He was so angry and helpless that he couldn't even eat.

"Why did the King of Qin not attend the court meeting today, but he had a complaint?" Zhao Huan took a mouthful of rice and asked the waiter.

"Your Majesty, the King of Qin claimed to be ill and sent someone to report it!" Li Fu quickly replied. He was an old man from Qiandi and knew that the Emperor had been prepared for it.

"What has he been doing recently?" Zhao Huan frowned and said, thinking that this King of Qin is too ignorant, it is shameless to give him face, and I won't allow others to come, and you still claim to be sick.

"The King of Qin shoveled a piece of peony in the garden and planted some vegetables. He and the princess watered the fields every day and got rid of insects. They were very busy!" Li Fu replied, but Zhao Huan was

I was stunned for a moment...(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
