It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Chapter 133 Love

The sun was quiet, and there were waves of cicadas crying outside. After a while, Master Tang asked in a low voice: “Are you complaining that I’m hiding from you?”

“No.” Zhao Chengjun sighed slightly, “Really no. What you did is right, and people’s hearts are unpredictable. You shouldn’t tell anyone about this kind of weird power.”

“but…”

“No but.” Zhao Chengjun let go of Teacher Tang, trimmed her broken hair around her temples, and said, “I hope you can trust me, but I hope you can protect yourself.”

Master Tang looked up at Zhao Chengjun, his eyelashes moved, and tears suddenly fell in his eyes. Zhao Chengjun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, “Well, why are you crying? However, the book is written in a pen, but life is your own. Our next path should not be determined by a book. Burn that book.”

Master Tang was shocked, and instinctively said: “But the battle is not over yet, so you can keep it for reference at any rate.”

“No.” Zhao Chengjun said firmly, “There are many factors for the success or failure of a war, but in any case, I should not be led by a book. If I rely on the hints of the book to win, then this battle, Don’t fight.”

Master Tang gradually calmed down. Yes, they live as a person in the world. If they dare not cry or laugh, hate or love, and dare not make any choice because of the unnecessary plot. Is this person alive or dead?

No matter why the book appeared, she doesn’t need it now. Whether she can live a good life, and what risks and crises she will encounter next, she should face it herself.

Master Tang nodded, the tears on his eyelashes were still dry, and he whispered, “Okay.”

The palace man had already withdrawn, Zhao Chengjun lit a brazier, and threw the “Shun Hua Biography” into the flame without hesitation. Others may be greedy for prophets and predictions, but Zhao Chengjun doesn’t need them. Prophecy is to make life better, but if everything is determined by prophecy, it will only be the beginning of a greater tragedy.

Life is one’s own, and choice is also one’s own.

The flames were blazing, and the tongue of the fire rolled onto the pages of the book, and the edges immediately burned. The palace man was startled when he smelled the smoke outside, and hurriedly asked, “Your Majesty, Niang, why is there a smell of smoke in the temple?”

“It’s okay.” Zhao Chengjun said calmly, “The queen is in a bad mood, burning paper to play.”

Teacher Tang was angry and laughed, and slapped Zhao Chengjun angrily: “Speaking of Jing Ran.”

Zhao Chengjun held Master Tang’s hand and circled her firmly. The two were speechless, quietly watching the book turn into fly ashes in the brazier, and in the end, even the three words “Shun Hua Biography” were swallowed.

Zhao Chengjun looked down at Master Tang, and at this moment, Master Tang also raised his head. Zhao Chengjun looked into her eyes deeply and said, “Wait for me to come back.”

Master Tang moved his eyes and nodded vigorously: “Yeah.”

At the beginning of July, King Zhou and King Qi used the banner of thoroughly investigating the cause of Wu Zong’s death and set up troops in Kaifeng and Qingzhou. The emergency report was passed back to Jinling, and Zhao Chengjun moved up the morning that morning, and Zhao Chengjun asked for a personal enlistment.

The ministers admonished, but Zhao Chengjun insisted. Within a few days, Zhao Chengjun finished his army and left Jinling with an army of 100,000. When he left, he asked his adopted son Zhao Zi to consult the prison.

On July 12, Zhao Chengjun left Beijing. After Zhao Chengjun left, the Forbidden City seemed to have no sound. Master Tang stayed in Kunning Palace for several days in a daze.

The palace people knew that His Majesty was gone, and the Queen was depressed. Everyone walked quietly these days, for fear that it would arouse the sadness of Master Tang.

In fact, Tang Shishi is not that fragile. Of course she was worried about Zhao Chengjun, but she didn’t want to say how scared she was.

She believes in Zhao Chengjun. If other emperors get a book that can predict the future and an unknown prophet, it may be so precious, but Zhao Chengjun chooses to burn it. There is no retreat, no correct answer, so he must be cautious in every choice he makes.

Teacher Tang admired Zhao Chengjun’s heart from the bottom of his heart. Her father gave her a terrible example, and her mother was not a strong and confident person. Since childhood, Master Tang didn’t know what love is, what is home, and what is responsibility. Master Tang doesn’t know what it feels like to like one, but she feels from the bottom of her heart that he is a very good person.

Strong, sensible and mature. He never denies his merits and achievements, but when he encounters a mistake, he is not ashamed to admit that he did it. Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged, can provoke the backbone, but also can bear the responsibility.

He is a good husband and a good father. Undoubtedly, Zhao Chengjun’s mentality is much stronger than that of Tang Shishi. She stayed with Zhao Chengjun. Sometimes she felt like her husband, and sometimes she felt like his father.

She was lucky to be able to spend her life with him.

She believed that he would smoothly quell the war, survive the crisis, and return to her and her child with peace and tranquility. What she has to do is to take good care of her son, raise her cock, and wait for him to return home.

Master Tang was raising her baby with peace of mind. Her stomach has been seven months old, and her body is getting heavier and heavier. Master Tang stayed in the Kunning Palace, focused on raising the fetus, unknowingly, a month passed.

Today, Lin Wanxi entered the palace to speak with Teacher Tang. Teacher Tang is heavy, and the emperor is not in the capital yet. Lin Wanxi is very worried about Master Tang and will visit her in the palace from time to time.

Strangely speaking, when Zhao Chengjun was in the palace earlier, although Lin Wanxi missed her daughter, she was not worried. Now that Zhao Chengjun is not there, Lin Wanxi thinks about it, feeling that her daughter is unreliable, and she has to watch it diligently.

Master Tang is holding her belly, and is also happy to let her mother be by her side. Zhao Chengjun is not in the palace, and the queen mother is in vain. Tang Shishi is the biggest person in the harem, and whoever she wants to enter the palace is just a matter of a sentence. No one in the Tang family dared to stop him. Now, the whole family of the Tang family is cautiously offering to Lin Wanxi, and several concubines scramble to please. They are more respectful when they meet Lin Wanxi than when they meet their relatives.

Master Tang and Lin Wanxi were sitting in Kunning Palace, Zhao Zijiao ran around on the ground. Teacher Tang leaned on a soft pillow and asked, “Mother, has anyone in the Tang family bullied you these days?”

“No.” Lin Wanxi said helplessly, “With you and the emperor, who else would dare to make me unhappy? Your father has sent Su to Zhuangzi, and the housekeeper also has a young grandma. Now there are a few young masters and young grandmothers in the family. , Come to me at dawn to please me. It’s dark before leaving. I even have to grab a cup when I drink my saliva. Yesterday, Bai said to me that he would adopt the second young master under my name and write it down as My son. In this way, when I worship in the future, someone will also burn incense for me.”

Master Tang snorted and said, “Don’t adopt them, just let them be bastards. Now they are bastards, and they have to please you in whatever they do. Once you adopt them and become your own sons, it becomes your debt. You subsidize them. They are justified, and when the subsidy is less, they will still complain that you are not kind. If you don’t have a reason to give money, they will be complained. It is better to let them be outsiders. Who treats you well, you give the money. In this way, they Instead, praise your kindness.”

After Lin Wanxi listened to Bai’s words yesterday, she was a little moved, but today, after listening to Tang’s words, Lin Wanxi suddenly became bright and she didn’t move her adoptive thoughts anymore. Lin Wanxi knew in her heart that no matter how well the concubines spoke, they would be closer to her aunt in her heart. Since she can’t compete with other people’s biological mother, what is the use of coming over?

It’s better to maintain the current situation. The brothers compete with each other, and the aunts also bite each other. Instead, Lin Wanxi will be able to celebrate her birthday.

Lin Wanxi lost her thoughts of adoption, and said another thing: “Master, your father also asked me to preach to you-a sentence. Do you know a person named Chen Tai?

Chen Tai? Master Tang moved his eyes and asked, “I heard a little bit. What’s wrong with him?”

Lin Wanxi sighed and said, “It’s a long story. A few days ago, a man named Chen Tai gambled in the Yang family’s casino. He spent several days in the casino and owed three thousand taels of silver. Yep. Yang Jiashao’s boss sent someone to remind him. The man said that he is the emperor’s in-laws and the prince’s uncle. Sooner or later, the world will belong to their family. He cares about this mere three thousand taels? The Yang family did not dare to act rashly, so he had to send People served them deliciously and deliciously. Yesterday, Master Yang came to your father and asked if Chen Tai was a relative of our family. Your father had never heard of this person, but he didn’t dare to care about what Master Yang said. Just put the money to the Yang family for the time being, let the Yang family treat it well, and let me come into the palace to ask you today.”

As soon as Master Tang heard the fire, he came: “The Tang family paid back the money for him?”

“Being kind and making money, the master is afraid of offending people, saying that three thousand taels is not a big money. If this person really has a relationship with the royal family, then this time he will be invited by the Tang family.”

“Please, please.” Master Tang said with a cold face, “What kind of in-laws is he. Mother, you don’t know, Chen Tai is the brother of Xu Chen’s family, that is, the biological uncle of the son. This person has always been idle, sneaking and petting. Now Fortunately, I lied to Jinling and dared to clamber with the royal family. Regardless of how much he owes, I would like to accept the bet, pay back if he loses, and go to jail before he goes up.”

“What are you talking about?” Lin Wanxi looked at Teacher Tang disapprovingly, “It turned out to be the uncle of the elder son, no wonder. Although the elder son was adopted, the blood relationship is constantly cut. You will have to rely on it in the future. My son, there is no need to fight for a mere three thousand liang, just be a relative of multiple families.”

Master Tang coldly snorted: “His surname is Chen, your majesty’s surname is Zhao, my surname is Tang, which family of relatives does he count as our relatives? Since he agreed to send the child away, don’t contact again after that. Seeing that the child grows up and has a good future, they will come back. What is this called?”

Lin Wanxi is speechless, saying that this kind of thing is public and reasonable, and her mother-in-law is right. No one is wrong, but she just can’t handle it. My brothers are going to have conflicts because of their concubines, and now Zhao Zixun is still separated by a floor, making it even more difficult.

Lin Wanxi had no idea at all, Master Tang was tough, so she followed the idea of ​​Master Tang and asked: “Then what should I do next?”

“Just do what you should do. In the past, how did the Yang family deal with people who owed gambling money?”

“The first deterrent, if you don’t return it, then you can only report to the official.” Lin Wanxi said frowning, “Chen Tai is the uncle of the son of the elder after all. If he is an official, the son of the elder may not be able to make it through.”

“His surname is Zhao now, not Xu.” Tang Shishi said coldly, “Furthermore, even if it is his uncle, he doesn’t care when he gambles, and it makes a noise afterwards, he is embarrassed? Dare to gamble, then you have to have fun. If you win, you will brag, and if you lose, you will reckless. What kind of hero is it?”

Master Tang hates two kinds of people the most in his life. One is those who go to brothels when they have a family and a room, and the other is those who visit gambling shops. For these people, Master Tang wanted to clean up one after seeing one. Now Chen Taikeng’s money in the Tang family has corrupted the reputation of the Zhao family, and he dares to claim to be the uncle of the prince, coveting Zhao Chengjun’s world.

Master Tang rolled his eyes vigorously, and said loudly, “Let him go to the prison to wake up!”
