Zhao Yu considered it and said: "The child realizes that he can become a child, and the child has an idea. It is better to use half of the money spent by the Ministry of Household Affairs to buy horses every year and let the child raise horses, and the other half to buy horses as usual. If the child becomes a child, his father will be rich and prosperous."

"If you didn't save a lot of money to buy horses, I'll apologize to you."

Emperor Daojun felt a little guilty when he heard this. In fact, although he still bought horses from abroad during this period, he didn't have many horses. The money the Ministry of Household Affairs spends every year to buy horses is actually not much. The half of this is not much, but it is

Less.

He said: "Second brother, you don't know the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs. In recent years, there have been natural and man-made disasters, and the national treasury is not full. The half of the horse money is really not much money."

Zhao Tong said: "My father is busy with everything and worries about the country and the people. Why should he worry about this? If there is a difference, the child should find a way to make up for it. The final reckoning will be settled. If it is really a loss, it will be a contribution to the country, and the child will admit it.

"

Emperor Daojun was moved when he heard this, and thought to himself that this second brother is just like me, a deity from heaven who came down to earth to help me create a glorious and prosperous age? In this way, in the future, there will be a third brother at home and a second brother at home.

My son, as long as I sit here every day, there will be no need for the world to worry!"

He said: "Second brother is worried about the country, but he endures hardships. But except for the capital, horses are not raised anywhere else. Where does second brother plan to go now? Let me tell you, maybe it will be convenient for you."

Zhao Tong was overjoyed when he heard this, but there was no trace on his face. He just said: "In the past, horses were mostly raised in the north. War horses had to run in a wide area. Without land, it would be difficult to use them. In the end, they became rogue horses. There are more people in the south and fewer fields. Except for huts,

It would be difficult to operate outside the boundaries of the prefecture, but I don’t want to delay people’s livelihood, so I thought it would be better to go to the Hehuang area to operate.”

Emperor Daojun said: "The other side of the Xihe River is barren, bitter and cold, and there are wars. Why are you doing this?"

Zhao Tong said: "The land is vast and the labor is cheap. I just want to save more money for my father and the court, but I never think about what happens to me."

Zhao Tong didn't know what they were talking about, but he was indeed a virtuous empress. If it were the other capable empresses in front of him, there was no telling what would happen in this palace.

Zhao Tong remained silent. When they entered the palace, they saw Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Wei sitting and talking. They were extremely happy when they saw Zhao Tong come in.

Zhao Tong looked at him with a smile on his face. He really wanted to strangle him to death, but he couldn't at the moment.

Mrs. Zheng said: "But I don't want my son to worry too much and get tired and get into trouble again."

Zhao Tong felt helpless. He still had feelings for Mrs. Zheng, so he just said: "My dear, I have lost some weight. I'm just stronger!"

"Second brother!" Zhao Gou was born thin but full of energy. His eyes turned left and right, grabbing the corner of Zhao Tong's clothes, expressing his longing without knowing whether it was true or false.

Zhao Tong hurriedly thanked him after hearing this. The Xuanfu envoy was not a permanent one, but he could control the position of the Xihe Road Economic Strategy and Comfort Envoy, and had the power of life and death over the six states of Xihe.

Zhao Tong looked at him and said calmly: "Brother Ninth, I am the master of heaven and earth. If you disobey, you will be struck by thunder from heaven!"

When Mrs. Zheng saw Zhao Tong, she immediately stood up and said with a loving look on her face: "Second brother, come here quickly and let me see. Have you lost weight or gained weight recently?"

After Zheng entered the palace, she was favored by the Taojun and Emperor because of her talent, humility and courtesy. After the death of Queen Xiangong and Wang, she became the main palace queen.

Webster also said: "I see that my second brother has lost weight. I think he has to work hard outside."

"How has Brother Ninth been reading lately?" Although he didn't want to see the boy, Zhao Tong still asked.

"Second brother." Mrs. Zheng said with a smile at this time: "You are a grown-up and you have opened a house outside. You are all alone. It's time to talk about marriage."

Next to him, Webster said: "Sister, my second brother is capable of both literary and martial arts, how can he be a leisurely prince?"

"Hold on." Mrs. Zheng interrupted Wei Shi's words and said, "I want to talk about something else."

Zhao Tong stopped when he heard this: "Martial arts are very useful, you should just study hard. Our court attaches great importance to filial piety. Sages say that husbands are filial. This is the foundation of virtue and the source of teaching."

Zheng took Zhao Tao's hand and said, "Second brother, why do you have to work so hard? Why don't you be a free prince?"

"Second brother, I can't read those books any more than third brother. Why don't I learn some martial arts like my second brother, but my wife won't allow it." Zhao Gou whispered, obviously not taking reading seriously.

Zhao Tao did not leave after leaving the palace, but went directly to Kunning Palace. Kunning Palace was the residence of Daojun Queen Zheng. The later Queen Xiansu, Zheng, had a son and five daughters. Zhao Zha ranked second, and the sister above her was Zhao Yupan, the Jiade Emperor's concubine, who was the eldest daughter of Emperor Daojun.

Seeing Zhao Gou here, Zhao Tong knew that Wei Shi was also there. Wei Shi was originally a maid of the Zheng family, and was later taken in by Emperor Daojun, but she was not favored. She was only named Xiurong, and she only gave birth to one child, Zhao Gou.

When he arrived in front of the palace gate, a young eunuch hurriedly went to inform him. Zhao Tong went straight in without waiting, but someone came to greet him. It was the ninth prince Zhao Gou who was only eleven or twelve years old.

Webster smiled and said: "But how can it be possible? My sister is now the mother of the world, and my second brother is also outstanding in talent. Let me see..."

Zhao Tong: "Ah?"

Emperor Daojun laughed when he heard this: "It is indeed my son. I remember that in the second year of Chongning, I sent troops and horses to re-pacify the Xihe area and established the Longyou Protectorate. If so, then I will grant my son the title of Xi." Helu Xuanfu Envoy, Longyou Jiedu, Longyou Duhufu, Dufu, promote the group of shepherds!"

Zhao Gou shrank his neck: "Second brother, you are scaring me again."

As for the Group Animal Husbandry Department, he is in charge of the world's horse breeding and is under the control of the Privy Council. The Group Animal Husbandry Department itself is fully staffed and functioning normally. He is not an official of the Xifu, so this promotion is only a false position, which makes it easier for him to raise horses as a layman. .

Webster said: "Sister is always too cautious."

Zheng is naturally dignified and graceful. She was originally the chief female official in the Xiang Palace of Empress Xiansu of Shenzong. When Emperor Daojun was still Prince Duan, every time she came to the Ci De Palace to pay her respects, the Empress Dowager ordered Zheng and Two female officials of the Wang family served beside him. Later, when King Duan came to the throne, Queen Mother Xiang gave them to Emperor Daojun.

Zhao Gou said nonchalantly: "Second brother, I understand."

How could Zhao Tong dare to answer this? He just looked around and talked about other things, going around and around and saying some other things. Unexpectedly, he finally went around and back again. He had no choice but to stand up, forgive his sin, and run away... …

Mrs. Zheng added: "The official family is busy every day, so you don't care about this matter yourself. So I went to find your grandfather and asked him to keep an eye on me. If you have a lady you like, you can also go with me." Just say it.”

Zhao Tong received the order to express his gratitude and left. Emperor Daojun stroked his beard after the case, completely forgetting that the purpose of recruiting this second brother into the palace was to reprimand him.

Back at Prince Qi's Mansion, the tea soup was still hot and before he could sit down, Huang Gu and Jian Suyi suddenly came hand in hand. Seeing the serious expressions of the two of them, Zhao Tong couldn't help but said: "Why should things be so serious? Could it be that Han Mao is here to cause trouble again?"

?”

Jian Suyi's face turned red when she heard this and said, "Young Master is joking, Han Mao hasn't provoked him since last time."

Huang Gu also said: "It's not a side matter, but the person sent to keep an eye on the goods has disappeared."

Zhao Tong frowned slightly: "Ghost Fanlou?"
