Cao Xuan immediately said when he heard this: "I know that you are the grandson-in-law, but we are also people who have received the favor of the empress dowager, and I also hope to have the opportunity to express our hearts......

"You don't have to fight with us about this matter!" Jiang Xian interrupted Cao Xuan's words and insisted, "The Empress Dowager has been afraid of causing trouble to others all her life, and it is my intention to do a big job, and it should be borne by me." I only hope that the Jinling side can settle the matter of the nickname soon. I still have to ask Grandpa Guo to help in this matter. I'm really not in the mood to talk to Zhao Xi now. ”

In essence, Jiang Xian came from a prominent background, even if she was the queen mother who was a regent in her previous life, her temper was still bigger than the average person. The death of the Empress Dowager made her irritable, and she had no intention of controlling her emotions in front of Zhao Xi.

Cao Xuan knew that he couldn't compete with Jiang Xian in this matter, and he didn't want Jiang Xian to be troubled at this time, so he hurriedly said: "You can leave the matter over there in Jinling to me, and we won't ......fight with you for the funeral of the Empress Dowager" Bai Su listened and stopped, Cao Xuan patted Bai Su's hand and continued, "Let's give 10,000 taels of silver, and the rest, you can come out!"

"That's what we want to do. Bai Su's expression was relieved when he heard this, and his face was filled with a faint joy, and he said, "Jianan, you also have to understand me." ”

Jiang Xian nodded with tears in his eyes.

Cao Xuan immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to Jinling.

Zhao Xi still did not express his position after receiving the letter.

Zuo Yiming had no choice but to persuade Zhao Xi: "The Empress Dowager has gone through several dynasties and is highly respected, and the emperor should not delay her decision." As for the cost of the funeral, you can clearly explain to the county lord of Jianan that the court can only allocate how much silver, and then agree to all other conditions, after all, who will always remember such a thing? After a few years, something new will come out, and everyone will forget it. ”

Zhao Xi is waiting for Zuo Yiming's words!

The Zuo family and the Li family are in-laws, and if he can't get through here, the Li family will definitely go to Zuo Yiming for help.

Zhao Xi didn't want to give out a tael of silver.

Didn't he, Li Qian, control the northern lands? Presumably, he had made a lot of money, and Jianan County was mainly engaged in a big deal, so let Li Qian, the baba ear, find a way to go by himself! He was about to repair the palace in Jinling, and he could save one tael of silver.

"It's fine. Zhao Xi pretended to be authentic, "I originally didn't agree with the intention of the county lord of Jianan, but I was afraid that the county lord of Jianan would be unhappy, and I was thinking about not knowing how to tell her! The funeral of the Empress Dowager will cost 2,000 taels of silver, no, it's better to pay 3,000 taels of silver. In any case, she is also the oldest of my seniors. ”

Two thousand taels of silver?!Three thousand taels of silver?!

The corners of Zuo Yiming's mouth twitched slightly, he really didn't know how to talk to Jiang Xian and Li Qian, and fought for the Empress Dowager for a long time, but Zhao Xi bit the three thousand taels of silver and didn't let go. Zuo Yiming really had no choice, so he had to respond respectfully and go down to write the holy decree.

Zhao Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

I heard that King Jian is also dying.

So that when King Jian died, he would be able to take only a thousand taels of silver.

However, thinking about the things that King Jian did, he felt that a thousand taels of silver were all lifting King Jane. It's better not to give a penny! Or, when the time comes, let King Jian Shizi sign a list, and then don't pay a penny. That guy is an incompetent person anyway. After King Jian's son guards the system, he doesn't have to return to the court, waiting for a lifetime to be at home, right?

As long as Zhao Xi thought about it, he felt very happy in his heart.

And Jiang Xian has already set up a mourning hall here, and the foreign women above the fourth grade in the capital have come to worship the empress dowager, and the officials of the three courtyards and six departments who stayed in the capital have also come to worship, and some have received the favor of the empress dowager or have made good friends with Li Qian and Cao Xuan, and even Hu Yiliang, who is far away in Taiyuan, has brought Li Changqing and others to worship, Jiang Lu also set foot in the capital for the first time after many years, and Zhao Xi, the titular great-grandson, only sent a waiter Gu Chao to represent him.

Gu Chao is a son of the Gu family of Jingyang Academy, because he clearly supported Zhao Xi's pro-government in the matter of his pro-government, and personally wrote a large number of quotations and classics to discuss the necessity and rationality of Zhao Xi's pro-government, which was supported by many scholars in Jiangnan.

Looking at the white Shouhuang Palace, I thought that I would soon see Li Qian, the hero of the Northland, and the county lord of Jianan, who dared to ambush and kill the King of Liao on the Jinluan Palace, he, a person who grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, felt as if he had gone deep into the tiger's den, for fear that if he didn't say the right thing, Li Qian or Jiang Xian would kill him...... The young officer's calves trembled.

After all, for the people in Jiangnan, Li Qian and Jiang Xian are the kind of characters who kill people without blinking an eye and kill whoever they want.

He was led by the chamberlain, respectfully offered incense to the Empress Dowager, and kowtowed.

Then Gu Chao found that it was actually two women who gave the guests a salute. They are all goose egg faces, willow eyebrows, and sad expressions, just one who makes people feel stable and polite, and has a generous demeanor, and one who looks lively but behaves woodenly, immersed in sadness, sometimes forgets to return the courtesy.

All those who came to worship pretended not to see.

His heart pounded, and he looked on tiptoe.

Someone said in his ear: "The one who is calm is Qinghui Xiangjun, and the other should be the county lord of Jianan." ”

Is it appropriate for her not to thank someone like this?

Gu Chao frowned.

The people who accompanied him gave him a disdainful look.

At the funeral of the Empress Dowager, the emperor only paid 3,000 taels of silver, and everyone was angry.

The escort said with a smile: "The Zhenguo Mansion is the eldest prince who came in person, and the eldest son of Lord Guo, the governor of Sichuan, came in person, but it happened that they came earlier than you, and after the prince accompanied them to worship the queen mother, he went to Cining Palace to ask the princess for peace, I am afraid that I will not come back for a while, you might as well go to the tea room to sit down, and when the banquet begins, I will invite the adults to come over and have a light meal together?"

The teahouse was usually used to entertain the retinue or maidservants of the nobles, right?

Gu Chao's face suddenly turned red, and he said, "This is not appropriate, right?"

The escort understood what Gu Chao meant, and said with a smile: "Who let this be the Forbidden City, the Shouhuang Palace? Don't say it's you, sometimes those cabinet elders want to see the emperor, and it's good to have a place to sit in the tea room." Don't pick it. After a while, there will be more people, but don't even have this teahouse. ”

That's right.

Although he has never been a powerful minister, he has heard from the elders in the family.

So he didn't say anything more, and followed the waiter to the teahouse.

It's just that before he could sit down, he heard a noise outside, and someone whispered: "Prince Jian is here!"

When Gu Chao entered the court as an official, Prince Jian had already returned to the capital, but he had seen Prince Jian on other occasions, thinking that Prince Jian should also have an impression of him.

It's also good to meet an acquaintance thousands of miles away from your hometown.

But he looked forward to it for a long time, and he didn't see Prince Jian come in.

He stuffed a red seal and sent him to the little chamberlain who was serving beside him to check on the situation.

Who knew that the little chamberlain accepted Feng Hong but didn't move, and said very perfunctorily: "Prince Jian is here, he must be going to the side hall to talk to the county lord, if you want to figure it out, I can help with this." As he spoke, he swept the red seal in his hand. The implication is that if you want to give a gift, you have to add a reward.
