Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

In the prince's east palace, the prince Zhao Chen is studying.

"His Royal Highness, I have already ordered someone to make some mutton meal, and sent it to the saint, and also sent a portion to the empress."

(The sage in the Song Dynasty refers to the empress, and the empress refers to the empress dowager, who can also be called the empress)

Zhao Chen put down the book and said, "Did you tell them that I'm studying hard these days and I don't have time to say hello in person?"

"The minister has explained everything, the sage and the empress will definitely understand the filial piety of His Highness the Crown Prince."

"By the way, His Royal Highness, recently bought a large number of sheep, and everyone in the palace is lucky."

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "You still have the ability to buy sheep, but I'm curious. I heard from the teacher that the number of war sheep has decreased in recent years. Where did you buy so many sheep?"

Li Jing said: "To tell you the truth, His Royal Highness, the officials are sage and benevolent, and have done a lot of good things for the people. When the people heard that the big nephew wanted to buy sheep, they were willing to sell them at a low price."

"Oh, so that's the case." After saying this, Zhao Chen could understand, and even a little proud, he helped the palace solve the mutton problem, and if he went back to talk to his father, he might be praised.

While Li Jing was chatting with the prince, the people from the front office came.

Jing Chao said: "I will see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Exemption."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhao Chen said, "The general suddenly came to me, what's the matter?"

"The minister is following the orders of His Majesty to come to find Li Jing and go to Wende Hall."

When Li Jing heard that His Majesty the Emperor was looking for him, he didn't react.

Zhao Chen wondered, "Why are the officials looking for Li Jing?"

"I don't know if I wait."

Immediately, Jing Chao said sharply: "Come here, arrest him."

Li Jing yelled in fright: "His Royal Highness is old to me."

"General, this is..."

"His Royal Highness, this is His Majesty's order, and the ministers are only following orders!"

Then Li Jing was taken to Wende Hall, where he knelt and shivered.

"You are Li Jing, the servant of the Eastern Palace?"

"My minister sees Your Majesty, Sheng'an."

"Did you let someone put the five thousand sheep in Moutuogang?"

"This..." Hearing this, Li Jing was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

"is not it?"

"Your Majesty forgives the crime, and this humble minister is also following orders."

"On whose orders?"

"By...following the prince's order."

"You mean, it was the crown prince who asked you to put those sheep on Mou Tuogang?"

"Yes, the crown prince wants to show his filial piety by making mutton for the saint and the empress, and this minister is just following orders."

"You are so courageous! Bullying the emperor is a death penalty for the Yi people!"

"Your Majesty, have mercy! Your Majesty, have mercy! This minister is only following orders!"

"Where did those sheep come from?"

"Yes……"

"Say!"

"It's a private businessman introduced by Hong Chuhong's officials."

"Who?"

"I don't know, but the people below bought it."

"Come here, give him the pen and ink, and write down the list of all the people who bought the sheep."

Li Jing hurriedly started writing.

After finishing writing, I heard Zhao Guanjia say again: "Drag Li Jing out and beat him to death with sticks."

When Li Jing heard this, he kowtowed in fright: "Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me!"

Sitting there, Zhao Ning didn't look at Li Jing any more, but said to Wang Huaiji and Jing Chao: "All the people on these lists will be interrogated, ask whoever bought the sheep, and ask for all the names, let Gao Qiu follow the line Go and check, one by one."

"Yes."

Li Jing's screams came from outside, and after a while, the sound disappeared.

"Your Majesty, Li Jing has passed away."

"Go and call the saint."

"Yes."

Not long after, Empress Zhu Lian came: "My concubine wishes the official family peace."

Zhao Ning walked over, held Zhu Lian's hand, and said softly, "Come, come and sit."

Zhao Ning supported Zhu Lian to sit down, and asked thoughtfully, "How is today?"

"A little weak, presumably the child in my stomach is growing up."

"Thank you for your hard work, I will call you over at this time."

"What's the matter with the officials?"

Zhao Ning then talked about all the back and forth.

After finishing speaking, he said: "You don't need to be impatient. I asked you to come here because I was worried that you would not know the truth. After others talked nonsense, it would affect your mood and tire gas. Everything will not be that simple. Wait for Brother Chen After my son comes, just ask clearly."

"Well, the official has a heart."

Not long after, Zhao Chen was transferred to Wende Hall.

For Zhao Ning, a time traveler, his feelings for Zhao Chen are very strange.

To put it simply, it doesn't have much affection, after all, it is not my own, but the former owner of this body, Zhao Huan and Zhu Lian.

In fact, he also tried to accept it. After all, his body was occupied, but in the past two years, Song Jinxia's situation made him really at a loss, and he didn't have much energy to deal with family affairs patiently.

Zhao Chen was established as the crown prince in April of the first year of Jingkang when Zhao Huangang, the original owner, was established as the crown prince. He is 13 years old this year.

Zhao Chen said: "I wish Your Majesty all blessings, and all blessings to the saints."

Zhao Ning's tone was still gentle, and he said, "Come, come and sit."

Zhao Chen sat down.

"Brother Chen, I have something to ask you, just treat it as a family chat."

"What's the matter, Daddy?"

"Do you know about Li Jing buying sheep?"

"I know."

"You asked him to buy it?"

Zhao Chen nodded: "The lady (the empress) was pregnant before, I remember that the lady likes to eat mutton soup, so I asked Li Jing to find out where there are sheep sellers outside the palace."

"Also, I heard that the empress (empress dowager) also wants to eat mutton. I thought it was true that I haven't seen mutton in the palace for a long time, so I asked Li Jing to pay attention."

Zhao Ning said: "Li Jing bought thousands of sheep, do you know?"

Zhao Chen was slightly surprised, but he didn't think it was wrong. When he was six or seven years old, mutton could be seen everywhere in the palace's diet.

Is this weird?

"I don't know how much he bought."

"Do you know how much a sheep costs now?"

Zhao Chen shook his head.

At this moment, Zhao Ning was more or less disappointed in him.

At the age of 13, it is not too old, but in ancient times, it is not too small.

"One sheep has ninety strings."

Seeing that Zhao Chen still didn't know the reaction, he knew that he didn't have much idea about money.

"And these sheep were bought from the Kingdom of Jin."

Zhao Chen still didn't have much reaction, because according to his understanding, the Song Dynasty used to import a large amount of sheep from the Liao Kingdom, but now that Song and Jin have negotiated a peace, it is reasonable to have a business.

Zhao Ning added: "The imperial court expressly prohibits private trading at the border. These sheep are all smuggled."

It was only then that Zhao Chen came back to his senses, and quickly said, "Daddy, I don't know anything about this."

Chapter 322 The Fuel of Banknote Delivery (Second Change)

Zhao Ning took a peek at Zhu Lian, and seeing Zhu Lian holding back tears, Zhao Ning said kindly, "Chen'er, you are 13 years old, and you need to learn some things gradually, and you also need to know your unusual status."

"As a prince, as a prince, there will naturally be countless people who want to get close to you and strive for an official career for you. You have to learn to recognize them, understand?"

Zhao Chen nodded.

"Once some people get close to you, they will use your name to do what they want to do. There are many things you don't know, so you have to learn to discern."

"Daddy taught me the lesson."

"Li Jing deceived his superiors and his subordinates, colluded with smugglers, and violated the national law. I have already been punished on the spot. After that, I will arrange another person for you."

Zhao Chen's heart trembled, and a look of horror appeared on his face, and he said, "Chen'er knows."

"You go down."

"Chen'er resigns."

After Zhao Chen left, Zhu Lian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Officials, Chen'er is still young."

Zhao Ning also didn't think about continuing to expand on this issue. After all, Zhao Chen is the prince, and Zhu Lian is now pregnant again. If Zhao Chen is to be punished, it would be bad if it irritates Zhu Lian.

Zhao Ning helped Zhu Lian up, hugged Zhu Lian lightly, and said: "You don't have to worry, the matter of Chen'er is over, I will find him a good teacher, and educate him well in the future."

"Ah."

"You can raise your baby with peace of mind. If you want to eat mutton, I will keep some."

"Thank you, officer."

"Go back and rest, I'll see you when I'm done."

"The concubine retire."

Looking at Zhu Lian's leaving back, Zhao Ning felt emotional for a while, and his heart felt sorry for Zhu Lian.

Although Zhao Ning is sometimes a bit grumpy, he still has a strong sense of family.

What's more, Zhu Lian was the first person who cared for him after he crossed over.

Creatures like men have been competing since primitive times, and competition is the nature of males.

But no matter how tough a man is, he still needs warmth.

Zhao Ning hopes to have a home of his own in this world, and he will take care of this home.

That night, the secretary of the imperial city went straight to the gate of Hong Chu's house.

Dr. Zuo Jianyi, Hong Chu, was invited to the Imperial City Department for tea.

In the middle of the night, all the businessmen recruited by Hong Chu were invited to the Imperial City Division.

In addition, ten other officials were arrested.

Of course, the officials involved are much more than that.

In the early morning of the fourth day of October, a complete confession was placed on Zhao Ning's desk.

Of course, several copies were placed on the desks of the governors of the Eastern Mansion.
