Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

The sky was dark, and the boat swayed forward.

It was still raining outside, and Song Qingyao stayed in the cabin, unable to sleep.

She thought that Dongting Lake was breached by court officers and soldiers. She was completely free. From now on, she would never meet with familiar people again, but she met someone sent by Zhao Chen to find her.

She sat there with a trace of melancholy on her face. She missed that person, but she didn't want to see that person. That person said before that she didn't like her, so she would rather never see each other again.

boom!

With a muffled noise, the ship shook violently, and then came to a halt.

"Miss Song, we have docked, please disembark." A voice came from outside.

Song Qingyao nodded, and she walked out of the cabin.

There was a light on the bow of the boat, and it was bright. Song Qingyao came to the bow and walked to the shore through the planks.

At this moment, she discovered that a group of people were still standing on the shore!

The leader was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man. After seeing this young man, Song Qingyao stayed there.

The young man is naturally Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen is also looking at Song Qingyao at the moment.

After many days of absence, Song Qingyao is still so beautiful and her face is picturesque, but she seems to be thinner. She is no longer wearing men's clothing, but a light green skirt, which is more feminine.

"Why are you here?" Song Qingyao asked in disbelief.

She thought that Zhao Chen was in Lin'an, but she never thought that Zhao Chen would appear in Miluo County.

"I'm looking for you." Zhao Chen said sincerely.

"Looking for me? What are you looking for me for?" Song Qingyao's expression suddenly turned cold, said.

"I have something to ask you." Zhao Chen said.

"Oh." Song Qingyao's expression became more and more indifferent.

"You must be very tired after walking all the way. Let's find a place to rest first." Zhao Chen said.

He opened the umbrella himself, Song Qingyao hesitated for a while and went forward with him.

The surrounding soldiers and guards had retreated far away, only the two of them were walking slowly in the light rain.

"A Yao, after you left that day, you always appeared in my heart. I often thought of you. In the end, I reached the point of restless sleep and food. I was not happy without seeing you. This time I attacked Dongting Lake. Things that can be done well, but in order to be able to see you, I also came personally." Zhao Chen smiled.

"Nonsense! I remember when you were in Sichuan, you said you didn't like me and didn't want to see me." Song Qingyao said coldly.

"When I was in Sichuan, I just wanted to put down the White Lotus Sect rebellion! When I first saw you that day, you were a disciple of the White Lotus Sect. I treated you as an enemy at the time! Later I learned that you took care of me when I was a child After Ayao, I remembered the things you poisoned me when I was a child, and my hostility became even stronger! After experiencing many things, I realized that you were sincere to me! After the West Lake incident, I couldn’t forget you, and I couldn’t let you go. "Zhao Chen said.

"I don't believe it." Song Qingyao said coldly.

At this moment they had arrived in a small town, Zhao Chen led Song Qingyao to a courtyard and into a room.

There was an oil lamp in the room, and Song Qingyao sat down, but her expression was still very cold.

"What happened that night?" Zhao Chen couldn't help asking.

"Is what happened that night so important?" Song Qingyao said coldly.

"This... isn't very important! Anyway, no matter what happens that night, I can't let you leave." Zhao Chen said.

"Don't let me leave? Why?" Song Qingyao said.

"I just said, I think of you every day, I like you, when you were in Sichuan and Shu, you also said that you liked me, if you like each other, why bother to leave?" Zhao Chen said.

"I don't like you anymore! You let me go!" Song Qingyao said coldly.

She didn't want to give alms to love, she sat there with her teeth gritted, not willing to look at Zhao Chen at all.

Zhao Chen couldn't help but came to her side and looked at her with a smile, but he felt infinite pity in his heart.

He wanted to step forward to hug Song Qingyao, and at this moment only saw a trace of pain on Song Qingyao's face, and her forehead was also oozing fine sweat in an instant.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Chen hurriedly asked.

Song Qingyao did not answer his words, but just held her lower abdomen with her hands, looking painful.

"Hurry up and call the doctor." Song Qingyao struggled.

"Good!" Zhao Chen hurriedly agreed.

After a while, a 50-year-old doctor walked into the room, and he immediately gave Song Qingyao a pulse and diagnosis.

"How is she?" Zhao Chen said anxiously.

"Your Majesty, this girl has been running around for days and has suffered some wind and cold, and her fetal gas has moved! But fortunately, the child in her stomach has not been affected. It is not a big problem! Just rest for a while." The doctor stood up and said.

"What? The kid in the belly?" Zhao Chen was stunned.

Song Qingyao has slowed down now, her lips are a bit chapped, and she is looking at Zhao Chen coldly at the moment, but she wants to see how Zhao Chen reacts.

"You go out first." Zhao Chen waved his hand and said.

The doctor went out and closed the door.

"Are you disappointed?" Song Qingyao said coldly.

"What are you disappointed in?" Zhao Chen said in a daze.

"Disappointed, I am no longer a virgin body, but I am pregnant." Song Qingyao sneered.

"This..." Zhao Chen was indeed disappointed.

For some time recently, he did think of Song Qingyao every day, but he didn't expect Song Qingyao to be a married woman.

"You bastard!" Song Qingyao said with some anger.

"What did you say?" Zhao Chen said.

"On the sea that day, what did you do to me, did you forget everything? If you do things that are inferior to animals and animals, I will become like this." Song Qingyao was angry and aggrieved.

"You mean it was on the sea that day..." Zhao Chen said.

Song Qingyao no longer looked at Zhao Chen, and nodded gently.

Zhao Chen stood there blankly, as if stunned.

"You definitely don't believe this! Let me leave here soon. From now on, I will have no contact with you. I will never see you again." Song Qingyao also stood up and said.

"It's not that I don't believe it, but just let me be quiet and think about it." Zhao Chen said.

He came to Song Qingyao's side and pressed Song Qingyao on the bed.

"You rest first, and I will see you again after dawn." Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen had already left, Song Qingyao sat in the room, uneasy and couldn't help crying softly.

It was still raining outside, Zhao Chen came outside and took a deep breath.

He felt that Song Qingyao would not lie to herself, she had a deep affection for herself, and she had paid for herself several times, and she had no reason to deceive herself.

It's just that this incident was indeed shocking, and he was a little unbelievable for a while.

The expression on his face changed, he stood there blankly for a while, laughed aloud for a while, and nervous in his heart for a while.

He asked the doctor to come over and asked Song Qingyao carefully about his physical condition.

The doctor told him that Song Qingyao was about three to four months pregnant.

At this time, Zhao Chen didn't have the slightest doubt. Three or four months ago, he happened to be with Song Qingyao!

As Song Qingyao said, above the sea, he did something "inferior to a beast" to Song Qingyao that night.

Zhao Chen stood there alone, laughing.

The soldiers next to him looked at Zhao Chen strangely, but no one dared to ask questions.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang Boyan Wang has arrived." After a while, Zhao Chen was about to return to Song Qingyao's room when a guard ran up to him and said.

"Go and call General Wu, let's discuss the governance of Dongting Lake!" Zhao Chen forced himself to calm down and said.

Someone immediately went to inform Wu Jie.

After a while, Zhao Chen, Wu Jun, Wang Boyan and others came to a clean room. Wang Boyan's nephew Wang Ping was also here.

"Master Wang, this time you made a great contribution to deceive the main force of Dongting Lake to Miluo County, saving us a lot of effort." Zhao Chen looked at Wang Boyan and said.

"We are ashamed to be a minister! Your majesty's army is brave and invincible, even without Wei Chen, your majesty can quell the Dongting Lake chaos." Wang Boyan said.

"In that case, it will take a long time! Regarding the management of Dongting Lake, I have carefully discussed with Li Gang Li before I came here, and the main thing is to comfort the people and stabilize the people's hearts. Wang, I will leave this matter to you. You do it." Zhao Chen said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Boyan said with joy in his heart.

"To reassure the people, one is tax exemption, all exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are exempted from the state government near Dongting Lake, and no official can levy any taxes of any kind. If not, he will never be merciless!" Zhao Chen said.

"Weichen understands! Your majesty, don't hesitate to watch, weichen must do this thing beautifully." Wang Boyan said.

"The corvee will also be reduced by half! It is a pity that the government has no money, otherwise I even want to abolish the corvee altogether." Zhao Chen said.

"Abolish all the corvee? In that case, if the government needs to repair the city and build water conservancy, wouldn't there be no one to use it?" Wang Boyan said.

"We can use money to hire people to do things! But these will only be done after the world is equal in the future, and the government has the remaining money in hand." Zhao Chen said.

"If this is the case, the people will be grateful for the benefits," Wang Boyan complimented.

"The second is about disaster relief. Regarding disaster relief money and food, there must be no corruption! Mr. Wang, keep an eye on me!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes! The Weichen will make the local officials pay attention to this matter." Wang Boyan said.

"Master Wang, you used to present "Ten Strategies for Hebei Border Defense" when the emperor was on the throne. I have read it, and everything in it makes sense. It shows that you can be extraordinary! Afterwards, the King Kang rebels served as the marshal of Hebei soldiers and horses. , Zongze was the deputy marshal. Because of your outstanding talents, your father was appointed as the deputy marshal! After you arrived in Jiangnan, you served as the deputy minister and you were also named a direct bachelor of Xianmoge! You have talent, just because of If you are good, you must vote for it. You want to please Zhao Go, so you are often corrupt, appoint private individuals, and don’t focus on national affairs. I hope you never do this again! Zhao Go and I are completely different! You only have to do things well. I will use you." Zhao Chen said.

"Yes, Weichen understands!" Wang Boyan said with a wink in his heart.

As Zhao Chen said, this person does have certain talents. Zhao Chen has just arrived in Jiangnan, only a few months later, he has not discovered many talents. Besides, even if talents are found, those talents have insufficient qualifications, and they cannot be assigned to important responsibilities, so he can only appoint these Jiangnan officials. But before appointing these Jiangnan officials, he must be on guard.

Of course it is not enough to be on guard, he has other means!

At this stage, the world is uncertain, and there are still Jurchens in the north. It is impossible for Zhao Chen to carry out drastic reforms to the system. Even if the world is settled in the future, Zhao Chen will have to reform step by step! At this stage, he can only make small-scale changes on the basis of the current system to curb corruption in Jiangnan!

He already had an idea in his mind!

Zhao Chen, Wu Jie, Wang Boyan, and Wang Ping have carefully studied the specific conditions of each state capital around Dongting Lake, and formulated some specific measures for each state capital, including encouraging businessmen from other places to come here, encouraging more population to return, etc. Wait for some details. Zhao Chen discovered that Wang Boyan's nephew, Wang Ping, seemed ordinary, but he often put forward some excellent ideas. Zhao Chen remembered Wang Ping in his heart.

Until dawn, the crowd dispersed.

Wang Boyan and Wang Ping will stay here for another day. They will also wait for some officials from other states to come over and formulate detailed rules together, write the rules and submit them to Zhao Chen to see, and then immediately implement these rules.

However, Zhao Chen hurried towards Song Qingyao's room.
