After Cai Bian left the Imperial Garden, Zhao Xu sat down in a gazebo, holding a folding fan in his hand, fanning slowly, thinking about all aspects of the court situation in his heart.

Xixia won this battle, and no one can shake him anymore! He no longer has to worry about local chaos, he can boldly reform and reshape the army.

As long as he has enough troops at hand, he can push for changes at will. It can be more intense, go farther, and be more thorough than in the Divine Sect period!

At this time in the Great Song Dynasty, the people were in fire and water, the gentry class was extravagant, and many problems had reached the point where they had to be solved, but the strong inertia of ruling still carried the country forward.

Zhao Xu sat in his chair, countless thoughts spinning in his heart. He has a kind of longing, longing for these things to be done in one step, to solve all the troubles at once!

But he also knows that you can't rush everything, otherwise it will backfire.

At this time, the three little heads in the imperial garden probed their brains and were secretly aiming at Zhao Xu.

Zhao You'e was a little scared, and said in a low voice: "Don't want it, I'm afraid." ”

Zhao Ji pressed her shoulder, and said in the same low voice: "Niangniang was not happy, you just said that Niangniang was looking for an official family, and the official family would definitely go." Niangniang's side, you said that the official family came over, and Niangniang definitely won't ask more. You are staring at the side, I will come back from the palace with Zhao Ru and bring you delicious ......"

Zhao seemed to be on the side and hurriedly answered: "And the kind of rouge from last time." ”

Hearing 'rouge', Zhao You'e's little face was entangled for a while, but after all, she didn't resist the temptation of rouge, and pursed her lips and said, "Okay!" But you have to come back quickly, the official family is very angry. ”

Zhao seemed to nod with Zhao Ji and pounded garlic, and Zhao Ji even pouted: "You go to see the official's house later, according to what we discussed before, this fan will be said to be made by yourself." ”

Zhao You'e took the fan sent by Zhao Ji, her little face was still uneasy, and she said softly: "You must come back quickly......"

The two kept nodding and gently pushed Zhao You'e out.

Zhao You'e turned around three times in one step, walked a long way before pursing her mouth, plucked up her courage, and walked straight to Zhao Xu.

Zhao You'e is Zhao Xu's half-sister, the youngest princess, the yellow gate in the imperial garden, the palace maids saw it, and saluted.

Zhao You'e used to be separated from Zhao Xu by the Empress Dowager Gao because of Zhao Xu's relationship, and she was very strict and rarely came out.

was later returned to Concubine Zhu by Zhao Xu, and with the continuous rise of Zhao Xu's status, her identity naturally rose to the top.

Zhao Xu soon saw Zhao You'e coming, a small man, with a small face carved and jade, very cute.

Zhao Xu beckoned from afar, waited for her to approach, and said with a smile: "Why did you remember to come to see Seventh Brother today?" ”

Zhao You'e pursed her lips, her little face was visibly panicked, and she suddenly took out the fan that Zhao Ji gave her from behind her, almost poked it in Zhao Xu's face, and said in a bad voice: "Official, this is the fan I made, give it to you." ”

Zhao Xu was taken aback by her movements, leaned back and sat back, with more smiles on his face, took the fan and looked at it, seeing that it was Zhao Ji's handwriting, he didn't break it, he casually threw aside what he was used to carrying, and said with a smile: "Not bad, yes, Brother Qi will take you this in the future." ”

Zhao You'e pursed her lips, opened her eyes wide, and saw that Zhao Xu had no suspicions, so she said in a panic: "Official, Xiao Niang said today that you haven't been to dinner for a long time." ”

Zhao Xu folded the fan, looked at her and smiled, stood up and took her hand, and said, "Okay, let's go to Xiaoniang's for dinner." ”

Zhao You'e was pulled by Zhao Xu, her little face was very flustered, and her steps were stumbling.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu took her hand hard and led her out of the imperial garden.

After passing by Zhao Yi, Zhao Ji's hidden big stone fat, Zhao You'e and the two glanced at each other, and pursed their mouths.

The two of them secretly cheered her up, and anxiously hoped that Zhao Xu would leave the Imperial Garden as soon as possible.

As soon as Zhao Xu came out of the imperial garden, the two glanced at each other, came out from behind the stone, and looked at the yellow gate not far away, Zhao Ji raised his head and said proudly: "You, take us out of the palace, the official family wants us to buy him something." ”

The yellow gate was stunned for a moment, thinking that the official family had just left from the imperial garden, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the villain will take the two highnesses out of the palace." ”

Zhao Ji hummed calmly and walked in front.

Zhao seemed to be a little nervous, and his little face was tense.

Under the escort of Zhao Xu's close Huangmen, the two of them went all the way unimpeded, and when they were about to reach Daqing Gate, the two suddenly became nervous.

Liang Tao, the secretary of the household department, and Yang Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, talked while entering the palace, and there was another person in front of them: their ninth brother Zhao Yan!

Zhao like, Zhao Ji and the two glanced at each other, looked up with their little faces, did not squint, and followed behind Huangmen one after the other.

Liang Tao said: "The water level has gone down, and the money and grain from all over the country are still not being transported for a long time, and it is useless for the various transit divisions to put pressure on the local government several times......

Yang Wei said: "The Ministry of Engineering began to dredging the canal, and rushed to complete a section before winter, and almost all the money was from the official treasury, Chen Daguan said, the official treasury may not have 300,000 left......

Liang Tao frowned, his face was irritable and angry, and just about to speak, Zhao Li, who was holding a stick, suddenly stopped and said, "Two Shangshu, is the official family in urgent need of money?" ”

Yang Wei and Liang Tao were stunned for a moment, and then they noticed Zhao Yan, this blind man His Royal Highness the Ninth is very transparent in the court and the opposition, the two glanced at each other, Liang Tao raised his hand and said: "Back to Your Highness, it's not that the official family is short of money, it's that the court is short of money." ”

Liang Tao nodded, but Zhao Tong understood, turned his ear to the two of them, and said: "I still have some shops in my hand, and I will let someone give the deed to Liang Shangshu later, and sell it for the official family." ”

Liang Tao looked at Zhao Li, paused and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, it's not that point yet." ”

There was no one around Zhao Yan, so he tilted his ears sideways and said, "How much can I have, I'll go back and see how much I can raise." By the way, don't tell the official about this. ”

Liang Tao looked at Zhao Yan, looked at Yang Wei again, raised his hand and said, "Your Highness doesn't need to worry, if you really need it, your Highness will find Your Highness again." ”

Zhao Yan's eyes were covered with white cloth, and there was no expression on his face, he waited for a while, and said, "Okay, the two adults are busy." ”

Yang Wei and Liang Tao raised their hands to Zhao Tong and continued to walk towards the green tile house.

Zhao Yan was just a small episode, and it didn't matter to them.

Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan not far away were also avoiding Liang Tao and Yang Wei, but fortunately, the two just raised their hands to salute them, and left without asking too much.

The two little guys breathed a sigh of relief and urged the yellow door to leave the palace quickly.

They didn't care about Zhao Yan who was holding a stick and knocking on the palace.

But Zhao Tong heard their footsteps, tilted his head, and said, "Ninth brother, thirteenth brother?" ”

Zhao Ji and Zhao seemed to be in a hurry to leave the palace, not wanting to cause trouble, how could they think that Zhao Ji could hear their footsteps.

Zhao seemed to be reluctant with Zhao Ji, but they still raised their hands to Zhao Tong and said, "Ninth brother." ”

Zhao Yan turned his face sideways to the two and said, "Are you going out of the palace?" ”

Zhao didn't seem to dare to speak, he felt that the official family would soon know about them secretly leaving the palace, and they might not be able to leave the palace.

Zhao Ji's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "Yes, the official family asked us to go out of the palace to buy something for him, and sent the Yellow Gate to send us out of the palace." ”

Zhao Yan naturally heard the sound of footsteps, nodded and said, "Be careful." ”

Zhao Ji said twice, turned his head and said to the yellow door beside him: "Let's go." ”

Huang Men vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes." Your Highnesses, come with me. ”

So, the three of them walked quickly away from Zhao Tong and went straight to Xuande Gate.

Zhao Yan was not in a hurry, knocked forward, and said to himself: "How can I raise money for the official family?" ”

And Zhao Ji, who came out of Xuande Gate, suddenly said with burning eyes: "Thirteen, did you hear it?" Then Liang Shangshu said that the official family is short of money? ”

Zhao seemed puzzled and said, "Brother Jiu has a shop, but we don't." ”

Zhao Ji's eyes brightened, and he hugged the painting scroll behind him into his arms, and said, "But I can make more money!" Don't you want a horse? Let's go, I've got a way! ”
