Mikiko walked into the house and put the food boxes on the table with the two palace maids.

Her face was a little blushed and her voice was as low as ever, "Mikiko comes here to send some snacks and sushi for the emperor and all the ladies."

After saying that, he bowed and walked out the door.

There was a deep loneliness on that very beautiful face.

This made Zhao Dongting think of his confidante in his previous life, the girl who was considered childhood sweetheart with him.

When she was in college, she fell in love with a boy who was very famous, handsome, and good at basketball. She finally plucked up the courage to write a love letter to the boy, but the boy said that he just wanted to learn. At that time, the expression on her face was surprisingly similar to Mikiko at this time.

At that time, this incident made Zhao Dongting feel disgusted towards the boy. Now, it is somewhat understandable.

Maybe it's because that boy has a girl he likes.

But this still made him feel a little guilty.

Looking at Mikiko, he had the urge to ask her to stay. He just held back a few times when he spoke.

At this moment, Le Chan gently pulled Zhao Dongting's sleeve and said, "Master, are you planning to let Princess Mikiko celebrate the New Year alone in Yiren Palace tonight?"

Zhao Dongting said embarrassedly: "There should be no custom of celebrating the New Year in Japan, right?"

Le Chan gave him a charming look, "Princess Mikiko, we have also made some dumplings, why don't you stay here to eat them?"

Mikiko turned around in an instant, her eyes filled with surprise.

Growing up in the Japanese Palace, she rarely contacts outsiders, and reasonably she has no scheming. It is no different from a white paper.

Whatever you think in your heart will often reveal your face.

Then, she looked at Zhao Dongting with great expectations.

Zhao Dongting scratched his head and said, "Princess, stay!"

Mikiko lowered her head shyly, but walked into the house quickly.

The two palace maids behind her were all happy in their eyes and chuckled softly. These days, Mikiko, who had a beautiful face and no airs, was sad in the palace, and even they felt distressed.

Mikiko seemed particularly happy that night, busy and did not treat herself as a princess at all. This made the eunuchs who served in the bedroom and the palace maids a little at a loss.

Le Chan and the girl said several times that she should not be busy, but Mikiko always rested for a while and continued to work, which made all the girls laugh and cry.

Later I found out that Mikiko did not live a life of having a shirt in the Japanese palace. Even the old thief who fought for the great general did not arrange a maid for her.

Such a princess is pitiful.

This made Delechan and other women look at her with a little more pity.

Then the girls talked and asked Mikiko about her life in the Japanese palace. Zhao Dongting couldn't speak at all, so he went out to take the child to set off fireworks.

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty became the chief of the Children's League.

It was not until the fireworks gradually came out in the night sky and the children were all asleep that Mikiko returned to Yiren Palace.

Concubine Yang Shu and others also left.

Zhao Dongting calculated by counting his fingers that it was Le Chan's turn to sleep tonight, so he stood beside Le Chan with a shy face, and the meaning was self-evident.

Le Chan's pretty face turned slightly red and she whispered: "Why not go to Princess Mikiko tonight? I think she shouldn't refuse your visit to the emperor, right?"

Zhao Dongting didn't dare to take this incident, and just said, "It's still your bed to sleep comfortably."

All the girls laughed, and when Lechan was a little embarrassed, they went back to their own room.

Zhao Dongting was in a good mood and didn't care about the eunuchs. The palace maids were there and picked up Le Chan in the waist and walked towards Le Chan's room.

Le Chan exclaimed, but there was a very happy smile on the corner of her mouth.

Although life in this deep palace is a bit boring, she also feels satisfied with Zhao Dongting and so many sisters accompanying her.

The next day.

The first day of the Lunar New Year.

The first year of Dingchang in the Song Dynasty.

The decree to change the era has been sent to various places by the Ministry of State, but the procedures that should be taken must not be missed.

Zhao Dongting got up from the bed before dawn and went to the yard to practice internal skills, sword intent and sword skills. Then a palace maid dressed him and the girls properly, and took Zhao An, Zhao Ru, Zhao Shuya and other little guys to the hall.

When they arrived at the hall, the humeral ministers such as Lu Xiufu, Wang Wenfu, Su Liuyi and others were already waiting in the hall, and Yuan Zhenzi and others who rushed from Hengshan were also waiting.

They must be sacrificed to the heaven and earth ancestral temples to change the era.

After waiting for a while, when Xie Daoqing, Yang Shufei and other royal relatives arrived, a large group of people headed out of the palace.

Zhao Da led thousands of flying dragon soldiers to wait at the palace gate.

The streets of Changsha seemed a little deserted in the morning, and the flying flags were heading towards the Temple of Heaven. Occasionally, pedestrians saw that it was Zhao Dongting's ceremonial guard, so they hurriedly knelt on the ground.

After arriving at the Temple of Heaven, Yuan Zhenzi and others set up the hall to pray for blessings. The Taoist priests of the Heavenly Master sang together.

Zhao Dongting, wearing a dragon robe, climbed to the Temple of Heaven and Earth, and prayed to the Ancestral Temple of Heaven and Earth in front of all civil and military officials. The Song Dynasty officially changed the reign of Dingchang.

This is the first time that Zhao Dongting has changed the era since he ascended the throne, and it is destined to leave a lot of marks in history books.

After the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, all the yamen in the Song Dynasty resumed operation.

More than ten officials who had previously worked in Changsha in Wenyuan took Jia Xiao under the escort of the imperial guards to Guangnan West Road to work.

At the same time, Chen Wenlong, who had passed the New Year's Eve from Jingjiang Prefecture, also returned to the Zhenguo Military Region. Then he began to punish Wen Zheyan and others.

With him here, the government offices on Guangnan West Road will not be in a state of incompetence.

On the bustling streets, there were dozens of criminal officials sentenced to beheading and other sentences, as well as the implicated families, and those who were close to them. There were more than 200 numbers. There were not so many prison cars in the Jingjiang Mansion dungeon, so many people were held in the army.

This of course caused quite a lot of noise in Jingjiang Mansion.

And this is not all people who have something to do with Wen Zheyan, the corruption case on the hill.

A few other less-than-common officials were taken to Jingjiang Mansion, but they were not arranged to be executed in this group.

This was Zhao Dongting's instruction.

He had to leave some people to kill for Wenyuan, so that the people of Guangnan West Road would not be so resistant to Wenyuan's appointment as the governor of Guangnan West Road.

On this special day, Wen Zheyan, Shao Liguo and others were heartbroken in the vegetable market.

The corruption case that caused a sensation in the Song Dynasty was about to end at this time.

Chen Wenlong had ordered Jingjiang Prefecture to inform the crimes of Wen Zheyan and others, which made countless people in the city applaud.

The firecrackers kept ringing in the city, and I don’t know if they were welcoming the New Year or sending the dead souls of Wen Zheyan and other borers.

Hundreds of heads fell to the ground at Caishikou. Then, Chen Wenlong and Liu Hongyi led their soldiers back to the city and sent a quick horse to report the matter to Changsha.

After the New Year, Zhao Dongting visited the mansions of many old ministers who had made great contributions to the Song Dynasty, and finally got a little free.

Only at this time the imperial examination was put on the agenda.

The exhausted Zhao Dongting directly handed the matter over to the following to arrange it.

At this moment, the chief examiner of the new subject was settled, which caused a lot of discussion in the court.

Because Zhao Dongting did not hand over the position of the examiner to the old ministers such as Lu Xiufu, nor to officials from the Ministry of Education, but to the Minister of War Zhong Jian.

This is not just as simple as the emperor trusts Zhong Jian, but more worthy of consideration is that the emperor is now increasingly willing to hand over the burden to these young and strong officials.

The trend of blood exchange in the Song Dynasty became increasingly obvious.

Unexpectedly, in this new first year, more and more young and strong officials will be on the burden. For example, Lu Xiufu and others, the power can be said to be constantly diluting.

Only Lu Xiufu, Wang Wenfu and others did not have any resistance to this.

When Zhao Dongting decided to appoint Zhong Jian as the chief examiner of the new subject, he invited them to discuss it in the imperial study room.

At that time, Zhao Dongting said that they had worked hard for the Song Dynasty for most of their lives, so it would be better not to work too hard in the future.

This is similar to releasing military power with a glass of wine. If you really have to use vicious thoughts to think about it, it is purely that Zhao Dongting wants to deprive them of his rights.

But Lu Xiufu and others knew that the emperor was concerned about them. As the emperor said, their group of people were old.

The emperor is not the kind of person who wants to combine all rights, and his grace to them has reached its peak. They only want to see the Song Dynasty prosper in their lives. Now their wish has been fulfilled, and they don’t have much obsession with the rights in their hands.

It's time to enjoy yourself...

If it weren't for the retirement age, I'm afraid that Zhao Dongting would let them retire, they would agree immediately.
