Zhao Jing stretched out his hand and gently pulled it, and it was already felt by Zhao Jing. However, he didn't care. He just thought it was a child's natural curiosity and he was a little curious when he saw this jade pendant.
"This is what your great-grandmother, the Holy Mother God Emperor, once gave to my five brothers. However, now there are two dragon pendants that directly accompany the two brothers into the dragon tomb."
Zhao Jing was filled with emotion. He was living a good life now, and he might not know when his mother would give him a reason to rebel.
"So that's it!" A look of surprise flashed in Chen Hongyu's eyes. No wonder this dragon pendant has such a strong aura of the emperor. It turned out to be a gift from the Holy Mother God Emperor.
The Holy Mother Emperor, who is also my cheap great-grandmother, was known as the Second Saint together with Emperor Gaozong when he was still alive. Now he is in charge of the court. In addition to not having the title of emperor, his control of power is greater than before.
Emperor Gaozong was a little stronger, and it was not surprising that he had the emperor's dragon energy gathered together.
Although what happened just now, everyone continued to sit in the dining hall for half an hour before they dispersed.
Outside the palace, Chen Hongyu was about to board the car with Zhao Zhan and his mother Yuan to return to the prince's mansion when he was suddenly stopped by someone, it was the palace manager who was in the dining hall earlier.
"Shao Dehai has met His Highness!" The steward first saluted Zhao Zhan, and then looked at Chen Hongyu who was standing aside and said, "Your Majesty ordered me to come here this time to give you a gift for your long journey."
With that said, he took the tray from the servant on the side and handed it over. It was the dragon pendant hanging on Zhao Jing's waist earlier.
"This, this." Zhao Zhan looked shocked. This dragon pendant was a gift from his grandmother. It was extremely precious. He didn't expect that his father would give it to Yuan'er like this. His thoughts became a little complicated for a while.
Generally speaking, except between mother and son, the mother is more valuable than the son, and between father and son, the son is more valuable than the father. But in his case, it was completely reversed. If it weren't for Zhao Yuan's birth, I'm afraid he would still not be welcomed by his father.
As he was thinking in his mind, he saw that Chen Hongyu had taken over the dragon pendant and hung it on his waist.
"Thank you so much, Manager Shao!" Chen Hongyu thanked him and took out the healing medicine he had prepared in advance. "Although my grandmother has a bad temper, she actually has a good heart. Moreover, the guard did make a mistake and should be punished. However,
The crime doesn't stop there.
I have a bottle of the royal palace's best secret healing medicine here. Even if the guard's hand is seriously injured, he should be able to recover to 70-80%, and his hands will not be ruined from now on."
Hearing what Chen Hongyu said, Shao Dehai couldn't help but flash in his eyes. The former guard was his nephew, and he was originally planned to take him with him to train him so that he could take over his duties.
But I didn't expect that today I made a mistake and received such a severe punishment. Although he was considered a steward of the palace and had some power, he was not very noble and could not exchange for those precious secret healing medicines.
If it hadn't been for the medicine given by the young master in front of him, my cousin's hands would have been really useless. Now with this good secret medicine, even if the injury cannot be fully restored, it will not affect his future work.
He is a useless person.
"Young Jun's kindheartedness is really impressive. Although I am just a small steward, I still have some power. If Young Jun is in need in the future, I will do my best after all." Shao Dehai bowed and then
He hurriedly led a few guards behind him back to the palace.
Next to the frame, Zhao Zhan seemed to have a look of surprise on his face, and then looked at his son with some surprise, and saw a smile on Chen Hongyu's face, "Father, let's talk about this after we get on the frame!
"
On the bicycle frame, mother Yuan automatically made room for the father and son, giving them plenty of space.
"There are only two bottles of the secret medicine you gave us in our mansion. They were given by your grandfather in the past. My father has never been willing to use them for some minor injuries he has encountered in recent years. Why are you here today?
I gave it away just for a servant.
We, father and son, don't know who the other is. Don't let me tell you that it's because you are as kind-hearted as Shao Dehai said."
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhan's face showed a hint of thinking, "However, it seems that Shao Dehai must have some relationship with the previous guard. Although he did not say it clearly before, there are some things in his expression that cannot be hidden."
"That's right!" Chen Hongyu nodded, "Grandpa is very majestic. You and Uncle Wang are sitting upright and don't dare to have any other thoughts. On the contrary, I am very comfortable and can look around. After all, I am a child and cannot sit still.
Earlier, when the guard fell, I had already noticed the change in the steward's expression. But as a steward, although he had some power, how could he dare to intercede in front of his grandfather?
Father, you have now begun to take power, but in the past, no one in the palace had any informants and did not know any of the inside story. It just so happens that this time you can use this matter to get in touch with the manager.
I begged my grandfather in person and gave him a bottle of secret medicine. The favor was already quite good. Moreover, father, you are obviously favored by my grandfather. If you are allowed to go out to serve as an official, as long as the manager is not stupid and hopeless, he will definitely turn to you.
Let’s get closer.”
As he said that, Chen Hongyu sighed, "Father, father, you said that you are no longer young, but you still want me, a son, to worry about these things."
His father was very nervous. After learning that he had an extraordinary mind, not only was he not surprised, but he relied on him more. Even if he was not as good as himself at times, he would always have the air of a father who relies on his son for granted.
Hearing what Chen Hongyu said at this time, Zhao Zhan's expression couldn't help but froze. He held Chen Hongyu in his arms and ravaged him, "I am your father. Isn't it natural for my son to help me?"
"As for these many mistakes and omissions, I have ignored them. It turns out that I was not valued by my father, and was suppressed by your grandmother. I had no real power at all. Who in the palace dared to get closer to me?
Even though our family's situation has improved a lot because of you, some of my ideas may still not change for a while."
Speaking of this, a look of sadness appeared on Zhao Zhan's face, "Besides, don't ignore the cold-blooded side of your grandfather's heart just because he loves you so much now.
Back then, if he could ignore your grandmother and be bullied to death by Pei in order to gain support from Pei, one day he may push us out at any time because of his interests.
The royal family of Daqi is cold-blooded. A loving father and a filial son, and brothers and sisters being respectful is just a joke. Isn’t your great-grandmother the most obvious example?"
Chen Hongyu can naturally understand what Zhao Zhan said. The former grandmother naturally refers to the current Princess Qi, and the latter grandmother refers to Zhao Zhan's biological mother.
As for Zhao Jing, he will not trust easily. He was born in an imperial family and has many past experiences to refer to. He really will never completely trust Zhao Jing. Now he is just using his status as a descendant to seek benefits for himself.
That's all.
According to the original trajectory, Zhao Jing did not pay much attention to Zhao Zhan's family even after he was born. It was after he got used to the rules of this world when he was older and could use some of his body's strength that he forcibly used the secret method of luck.
Only then did Zhao Jing change his attitude.
"However, the suppression of the Immortal Way in this world is too serious. If it were not for the incomplete iron plate obtained from the Xuanming Old Dao to exert its divine power, I would have used the secret method of luck to interfere with Zhao Jing's Qi in this life.
The dragon's energy turned into ashes under the backlash.",
While thinking in his mind, Chen Hongyu came to his senses and began to discuss Yongle County matters with Zhao Zhan again.
Daqi has a total of 328 prefectures and 1,573 counties. Among them, the prefecture level is divided into auxiliary, xiong, wang, tight, upper, middle and lower according to the degree of affiliation.
, a total of seven levels; the county level is also divided into ten levels: red, sub-red, ki, sub-ki, wang, tight, upper, middle, middle-lower and lower based on factors such as population.
Hezhong Prefecture has thirteen counties under its jurisdiction, many of which are rich and prosperous, and can be regarded as Qianzhou. Yongle County, where Zhao Zhan is going to serve this time, is a Wang County.
There are many water systems in Yongle County, so in previous years the people in the county were relatively prosperous. However, since this year, Yongle County has been plagued by floods, which are difficult to control.
Even the previous county magistrate almost died in the process of controlling floods. This time Zhao Jing removed his official position. The county magistrate was probably eager to do this.
After all, the county magistrate had a high background. He originally went to Yongle County to gain political achievements. Who knew that instead of gaining political achievements after going there, he was helpless in the face of a flood that had not been seen in decades, and took the blame out of thin air.
This time, Zhao Zhan is going to Yongle County to clean up the mess. Of course, even if he is cleaning up the mess, Zhao Zhan is eager to take over the responsibility of the previous county magistrate. After all, he is finally beginning to gain real power.
After roughly discussing the situation in Yongle County, the father and son began to glare at each other. They had never expected that Zhao Jing would send Zhao Zhan to Yongle County.
Previously, although Zhao Zhan had also intentionally or unintentionally expanded relationships and collected information, he did not know much about the more detailed situation in Yongle County.
"Hey, forget it! Tomorrow, father, you can go to the judges under my grandfather to find the soldier who is in charge of water conservancy in this state and inquire about Yongle County matters.
The serious flooding in Yongle County this time has something to do with water conservancy. The people in the county government should report the situation to the magistrate as early as possible. With your current status and power, father, those who joined the army will definitely help you wholeheartedly."
The governor of the state is the governor, and his subordinates mainly include the chief sergeant, the judge, and the Lushi join the army. Among them, the judge refers to the Secretary of Gong, Si Cang, Si Hu, Si Bing, Judiciary, and Si Shiliu join the army.
These six soldiers who joined the army corresponded to the six departments of the imperial court, and were specifically in charge of all aspects of the state's official examinations, etiquette, taxation, warehouses, household registration, e-mails, prisons, and water conservancy projects. It can be said that although the state and county are small,
, complete with all five organs, just like a small imperial court.
If you want to know some information about floods before arriving in Yongle County, going to the magistrate is the best choice.

Just when Chen Hongyu and his family were returning to their mansion, there was also an old Taoist in the distance looking at the carriage they were in.
"Sure enough, this Zhao Yuan must be a true king who has come to this world. Since his birth, Prince Leping's fortune has greatly increased. Now he not only has the matter of transferring power to others, but also received a dragon pendant as a gift from King Qi.
This dragon pendant was made by the Holy Mother Emperor back then, and was actually rewarded by the King of Qi to Zhao Yuan. Nowadays, there is a fierce competition between Taoism and Buddhism, so it may not be impossible to place a bet on this one."
Watching Prince Leping's carriage go away, Zhong Lingxiu's eyes flickered as she thought thoughtfully, "What happened in Yongle County is extraordinary, and it involves some disputes between Taoism and Buddhism.
Although Prince Leping has now begun to take power, he is still in his infancy, and matters in Yongle County are still a bit difficult for him. At that time, I, Xuan Qingdao, can take the opportunity to step in and help Prince Leping resolve this matter to gain his trust."
After thinking for a moment, Zhong Lingxiu broke through the barrier and escaped into the Dharma Realm in a flash. At this time, the Taoist and Buddhist families were fighting fiercely in the Dharma Realm because of the dispute between Taoism and Taoism.
If it weren't for Zhao Yuan's unusual identity, as a true Taoist, he would not have spent so much effort observing the behavior and luck of Zhao Zhan and his son.

Prince Chu's Mansion, Miscellaneous Courtyard. Shao Dehai walked quickly towards one of the houses.
The courtyard is where the servants of the royal family live. Whether they are stewards like him or the lowest-level servants, they all live in this courtyard, but it depends on their position and the living environment.
It's just different.
After a while, Shao Dehai finally returned to his bedroom. After entering the bedroom, he could notice a young servant with dull eyes sitting on the chair.
"Deyou!"
Seeing his younger brother's appearance, Shao Dehai felt a little angry in his heart, but he felt a little distressed when he thought of his current situation.
"Brother, these hands of mine are useless!" Shao Deyou raised his hands that had been simply treated and said sadly.
Originally, he entered the palace with the intention of relying on his cousin's relationship to find a future, but now that he has picked up the small half of the pot of charcoal with his hands, he is already considered useless. If there is not much opportunity, his future in this life will inevitably be cut off.
.
After all, it is difficult for a person whose hands are almost completely disabled to get ahead in any industry.
"Deyou, let me ask you." Shao Dehai looked seriously, "Do you hate the princess or not?"
"hatred!"
Snap!
"Hate it or not?"
"hatred!"
Snap!
"Hate or not?" Shao Dehai's eyes were filled with seriousness.
"No, I don't hate it!" Shao Deyou raised his head and looked at Shao Dehai, his eyes a little confused, like a little beast at a loss.
"Remember, for us people today, no matter what the master does is right or wrong, it is our mistake.
What's more, this time it was you who caused the charcoal to burn out of the furnace, so the princess should punish you, so how can you feel jealous."
Previously, the reason why Shao Deyou's soles slipped was ultimately caused by the handful of nuts that the prince hit Zhao Xian and then fell to the ground.
Moreover, even if Shao Deyou brought out the charcoal, the crime would not be serious. The princess was just taking the opportunity to vent her anger and express her dissatisfaction to the prince.
Although Shao Deyou was his cousin, he had been raised by him since he was a child. How could he not feel distressed and hate what the princess had done?
It's not that I don't hate, but I don't dare to hate, and I can't show a trace of jealousy in my actions in the future.
With his mind spinning, Shao Dehai took out the secret medicine that Chen Hongyu had given him earlier, "Originally, your hands were considered useless, but because of the secret medicine given by Shaojun, you only need to rest for half a year to recover to a full seventy-eight points, and you don't have to worry about the future. Worry about the future.
This secret medicine is extremely precious, even the prince doesn’t have much of it, but this time the young master actually gave it to him, you must never let down the young master’s kindness in the future.”
"Young Master!" Shao Deyou looked at the secret medicine in his brother's hand, hope flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, the young figure in the dining hall who had begged the prince for him flashed through his mind.
"Young Master is a kind man and shows mercy to your servants. This is a great kindness. My Shao family has been loyal for generations. If Young Master is in need in the future, it doesn't matter even if I risk my life."
