Reborn as a rebellious son like a wolf

On the day when Xiao Zhengting dialed the needle, there was a good news that King Pingjun was shot dead by General Yu himself, and Zhu Shangtong and others beheaded all his lieutenants in front of the horse.

Once he died, it would be a big mess for the court, but Tang Mo was not afraid, he had already planned to deal with the follow-up.

Xiao Zhengting looked at the silver needle that was taken out, and looked at Divine Doctor He: "I have a headache."

Divine doctor He smiled and said: "This is normal. Your Majesty should not get up these two days, just lie quietly like this. I will give you a few more injections to make your brain return to normal."

The silver needle has been kept in the brain for several months, and if it is pulled out suddenly, the brain will not be able to adapt to it, so there must be a buffer period.

Tang Mo was very worried: "Will there be sequelae of headache in the future?"

Zheng Ting has to use his brain all year round, so he must be careful.

Miracle Doctor He shook his head, and said to himself: "No, don't worry, the Regent, His Majesty is recovering very well."

That's good, Tang Mo really felt relieved.

Stretching out his hand to caress the place where half an inch of hair grew on the back of Xiao Zhengting's head, he said with a smile, "I really want to take a photo with a camera."

It will be hard to see Zheng Ting with half of his head shaved in the future. If there is a camera to take pictures, we can laugh at him when he is old.

"What is a camera?"

"Well, a tool that can perfectly imprint people and scenes, even the pores on the face can be clearly seen."

How could the ancients understand high-tech things.

Xiao Zhengting held his hand and looked at him gently like water: "Mo, when these days settle down, let's go swimming in the lake."

After months of exhaustion, Mo became extremely thin.

He was thin because he was unwell, and Mo was completely tired.

"Okay!" Xiao Zhengting didn't know that Tang Mo felt sorry for him even more.

He lay in bed for more than three months and seldom ate when he was in a coma. He must have never looked in the mirror. He didn't know that he could be described as skinny at this time, and his cheekbones were bumpy to the touch.

Tang Mo still has a lot of things to deal with, and the situation in various places these days has turned into memorials and piled up on the desktop of the imperial study.

Even if Wang Huaiyue and other loyal ministers help, they are too busy.

Tang Mo urgently convened a meeting of ministers to discuss the fiefdoms of King Pingjun and Prince Zong.

Wang Huaiyue took a step forward, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the prince of the clan rebelled. The prince's mansion in the fief has been copied. It was found that he hollowed out a mountain and sealed several mountains to train soldiers. His family property is 70 million. 7000 taels of silver, which does not include the countless treasures in the private treasury of the Prince’s Mansion. All the property, his family members, and servants have been taken to the capital. The Pingjun Palace was also completed yesterday, and a total of more than 27 million taels of silver was obtained. Including [-] gold bars and treasures in the private treasury, as well as three sets of dragon robes found in the mansion, and even the dragon chair used for enthronement was made of pure gold, which was escorted to Beijing by Lieutenant General Qing Yu overnight."

All the officials gasped after hearing this. These two are really rich, no wonder they can support so many soldiers.

"It's all put into the national treasury, and the dragon chair is melted down and reused. After the statistics are completed, a part of the household department will be allocated to reward the soldiers and repair the trampled farmland and forests outside."

Tang Mo thought for a while, then looked at Yan Chengrong: "Yan Shilang, all the rest will be given to the Ministry of Industry to build roads and bridges, especially between cities. There must be official roads of the same specification along the roads. Two ordinary carriages pass by side by side at the same time. It can encourage the common people to move closer to the official road and live near the official road, and help to open the road in mountain villages that are too remote."

Minister of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and said respectfully: "My lord, nationwide road construction does help people's livelihood, but the money spent is astronomical. The stolen money of these two traitors may not be enough."

"It's natural." Tang Mo had considered this issue a long time ago, and said, "The national treasury will be allocated privately. Many local wealthy businessmen have built bridges and roads over the years, and we will continue to build. Maybe you think it is a bottomless pit, but you have to think about it. What we are trading for is the prosperity of the next hundred years and millennia. Only when the people live well can the country be truly prosperous and strong. Governing the country is not about doing business, and you can’t just focus on making a profit.”

"Sir, you understand."

The crowd no longer had any objections. In the past few months, they had already seen the terrifying ability of the regent to govern the country, and they were so impressed.

Some people even thought that if this person really took the throne, there would really not be many people who would object.

Unfortunately, Tang Mo is not interested in the dragon chair.

On the way back, Xiao Fan was very puzzled: "Teacher, what should we do if we are poor due to the large amount of road construction?"

The country is so big, how much does it cost to build roads in each place, and millions of soldiers are needed to support them. Where does their treasury get so much money.

When these words came out, Xiao Hao and Xiao Zhu also wanted to know, and the six eyes looked at Tang Mo expectantly.

Tang Mo chuckled, and patted the foreheads of the three of them: "You are still young, and you don't know that some businessmen value reputation very much. If word of the road construction gets out, they will help build the bridge and pave the road. Besides, as an emperor, you can't We only look at the benefits. We lose money for a while, but once the road is repaired, the benefits we get will last for a hundred years or a thousand years. If the road is good, people can go out of their homes to make a living and supplement their families, and their lives will gradually improve. We Sometimes when you look at things, you have to look at the long-term, and you can't care about immediate gains and losses."

Several people nodded, they understood.

Xiao frame frowned, and said softly: "The princes and uncles of the clan rebelled, why didn't the teacher behead their family members, but exile them instead."

Anyway, what if they rebel again?

Didn't you say that you can't let the tiger go back to the mountain?

Tang Mo squeezed his small face, and said with a smile: "You have to understand one thing. As an emperor, you need to take care of the overall situation and put the overall situation first. Killing can't solve the problem. Sometimes things can be solved by taking a step back. There is no beating Killing is exile, which can show the benevolence of the emperor. After all, everyone knows that rebellion is to punish the nine clans. As an emperor, he only needs to do one thing well in his life, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Done."

Is exile really better than beheading?

Not necessarily, those noble ladies are pampered all the year round, their hands are not touched by the spring water, and they are exiled to the mountains and deserted cities, that is the beginning of a hellish life.

Xiao frame seemed to understand but nodded, thinking that being an emperor is so profound.

The three children still have homework, so they cannot go back to Crouching Dragon Palace with him.

When Tang Mo went back, he happened to see what Wang Quzheng and Xiao Zhengting were talking about.

"Mo is back."

"Hmm." Sliding the wheelchair to the side of the bed, holding his hand, he said, "Are you ready to eat?"

Eunuch Sun immediately responded with a smile: "Master He said that he could sit up and eat, so he used a bowl of meat porridge."

Seeing that His Majesty is getting healthier day by day, Eunuch Sun has more and more smiles on his face.

Tang Mo looked at Wang Qu and said, "What's the matter with the Queen Mother?"

In order to prevent further mistakes, he directly sent Wang Qu to guard the Chaoshou Hall to watch the Queen Mother at any time.

Wang Qu bowed respectfully, and said: "The Empress Dowager has eaten very little in the past two days, and her sanity has become more and more insane. Doctor He said that it is only a few days' work."

Xiao Zhengting had no feelings for this mother for a long time: "Let the Ministry of Rites make preparations, set up another tomb, and don't get close to my father."

This woman is not qualified to be in the same cave as his father, and letting her die in peace is to repay her life's favor in this life.

"I've asked them to prepare it from the Ministry of Rites long ago. Don't worry, Doctor He said that he would guarantee her a [-]-year-old baby."

There are only a few days until the fifteenth day, and it is indeed time to prepare.

Xiao Zhengting chatted with Tang Mo for a while, and Wang Qu reappeared not long after.

Queen Mother, I want to see Xiao Zhengting.

Tang Mo looked at Xiao Zhengting: "Do you want to meet?"

Xiao Zhengting gave Wang Qu a cold look, and said in a cold tone, "Don't worry about it."

Thinking of her child-like elder brother, Xiao Zhengting's dislike for her increased to a higher level.

After thinking about it, Xiao Zhengting said, "Let my brother go see her."

Wang Qu was a little worried: "Your Majesty, will you scare His Highness?"

His Highness is like a child in mind, but he has a strong dislike for the Queen Mother. Every time he is mentioned, he will stop talking.

"No, he will definitely go."

When the queen mother poisoned her elder brother, even if the elder brother didn't remember the past, he still had an instinctive hatred for her.

The enemy is about to die, and my brother will definitely go to see it, so that it can untie the knot.

Xiao Zhengji was fluttering butterflies in the imperial garden, and when he heard Wang Qu's words, he really agreed to see the queen mother.

Wang Qu escorted him into Chaoshouyuan and came to the Empress Dowager's bedside.

The Empress Dowager looked haggard and gray. She looked at the person walking in with her cloudy eyes, and she recognized her eldest son Xiao Zhengji at a glance.

With her eyes wide open, she desperately wanted to shake her head, but she didn't have the strength.

She didn't want to see him, what she wanted to see was Xiao Zhengting, her youngest son.

Xiao Zhengji came to the bedside, carefully looked at the Queen Mother who was lit like a candle, and asked, "Queen Mother, are you really going to die?"

After asking, he was afraid to take a step back, afraid that she would get up and hit him.

The Empress Dowager looked at her son who was blinking with clear pupils, and suddenly burst into tears.

Xiao Zhengji looked back at Wang Qu: "Commander Wang, look, the Queen Mother is crying."

Wang Qu didn't dare to raise his head, and coaxed him softly: "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager is seriously ill."

"So I'm still going to die." Patting his chest, Xiao Zhengji breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the queen mother and said innocently: "I don't like you, you poisoned me in the dream and made me a fool, and you still want to hurt me Brother, you should die quickly. When will you die? If you die now, you can’t do it. Brother Ah Mo said, it’s unlucky to die before the first lunar month. You should wait until the fifteenth day before you die. How about this, I have sugar here.”

He lowered his head and fished in his sleeve pocket, took out a handful of candy, and put it directly beside her.

Seeing that the candy didn't roll down, Xiao Zhengji grinned: "Queen Mother, you took my candy, but if you keep your word, you can die after fifteen years."

The queen mother panted violently, her pupils opened wide, her face became even more gray, as if she was about to die in a second.

Xiao Zhengji was so frightened that he took a few steps back, pretending to be fierce and said: "I tell you, you still want to catch my brother, I don't like you, if you stare at me again, I will let Wang Qu slap you."

He was still afraid of the Queen Mother, and said to Wang Qu, "Commander Wang, this woman is so scary, let's go."

After finishing speaking, he left quickly without waiting for Commander Wang to respond.

"Be careful, Your Highness." Wang Qu bowed to the Queen Mother, and quickly chased her out.

From the corner of the Queen Mother's eyes, she looked at Tang Tang on her chest, thinking about what Xiao Zhengji said.

At this moment, countless images emerged from my mind, all of them were Xiao Zhengji when he was a child. At that time, he was innocent, cute, and very understanding, and would give him candy when she was wronged.

Tears dripped onto the pillow, and the Queen Mother's lips trembled slightly. Looking back on her life, she realized that she herself had always been a joke

For the sake of power, she poisoned her own son, and for her own ambition, she almost set fire to her younger son.

So what about calculating for a lifetime?

So what about climbing to the top?

In the end, he ended up in such a situation that even his own son refused to come to see him before he died.
