Soon.

More people participated in the firefighting, the fire was fierce, splashing water was difficult to extinguish, and finally extinguished the fire in the palace, but the surrounding houses were also filled with fire because of the wind.

The ministers looked at everything in front of them.

I couldn't help but sigh secretly.

This palace has cost a lot of manpower and financial resources, even compared to the royal palace, it is also more than that!

Now, a fire has disappeared!

It wasn't until dawn, when everyone was tired all night, that the fire was extinguished, and the billowing black smoke seemed to obscure the sky of Daijun, so that the people could think of the thrill of last night from afar.

However.

The scattered crowd also appeared outside the collapsed palace after dawn.

At this time, Guo Kai finally saw a weakness.

Knowing that Dun Miao had been extinguishing the fire all night, so he didn't have time to come out, but fortunately, many precious things in the treasury were quickly transferred by them to avoid the danger of being burned by the fire, Guo Kai couldn't help but finally put his mind at ease.

Zhao Yan looked at the weakness and said, "Taifu, is this what you said to the widow?" ”

When he heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Xiao Shang is weak, I've seen the king!" ”

Zhao Yan nodded again and again, and said: "Your matter, the widow has already listened to the queen mother and the Taifu, but unfortunately, there was a fire last night, so that you and the Taifu have all their thoughts in vain." ”

Suddenly, he said weakly: "King, the treasures can be found again, the palace can also be rebuilt, the small merchants spend some money, it is not worth mentioning at all, as long as the queen mother and the king like it, the small merchants will travel all over the world, and they will also find back the treasures of the Zhao Kingdom." ”

Empress Dowager Zhao and Zhao Yan heard the weak words, and immediately nodded secretly.

Guo Kai said: "King, now that the fire has been extinguished, next, these trivial things, let the ministers do it, the Queen Mother has not slept all night, she is already extremely tired, it is better to let the Queen Mother move to the palace, go to rest first, and the rest of the things will not be too late tomorrow." ”

Zhao Yan supported the Empress Dowager Zhao and said, "Then there is Mrs. Lao." ”

Under the attention of the ministers, Zhao Yan sent the Empress Dowager Zhao into the carriage, surrounded by the guards, and headed towards Daicheng.

Guo Kai saw Zhao Yan leave.

He immediately ordered someone to start cleaning up the wreckage of the eaves, and at this time, came to the collapsed palace.

Guo Kai couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

However, suddenly faintly walked to Guo Kai's side and whispered in his ear: "Your Excellency, this matter is not a pity at all, on the contrary, it is an opportunity for you." ”

Guo Kai was stunned.

Over the past few years, he naturally knows that Dun Weak is by no means a person who believes in words, and he is quite anxious and wise, and at this time, when he listens to Dun Weak's words, he knows that Dun Weak may have some good plan.

Guo Kai looked around, and the soldiers who were still searching.

So he left the matter to someone else.

Then, he left with a weak heart.

The two went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Guo Kai's eyes were bloodshot at this time.

Then, as soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Sir, what do you mean by what Shi Cai said?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Dare to ask the king, last night, did the king secretly signal to the queen mother about the Jiangshan Sheji of Zhao Guo?" ”

Guo Kai nodded and said: "This is natural, and the true appearance can also be seen, the queen mother knows the meaning of the true appearance in her heart, and it happens that the queen mother went to live in the palace again today, I am afraid that the time is not short, and I will often hear about the war on the front line, I am afraid that it will be as you said, and the king will go to say." ”

Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I will congratulate you first." ”

Guo Kai was puzzled.

What does this have to do with the burning of the palace?

Suddenly faint then responded: "Everyone in the world knows that King Zhao is filial piety, and he is even more respectful to the queen mother, and now the queen mother's palace has suffered from the disaster, if the king recruits skilled craftsmen at this time to build a new palace for the queen mother, and it must be built bigger and better than before, it will definitely be able to win the praise of the queen mother and the king, plus the king has the merit of mentioning the society, the two are combined, the king will inevitably change his previous attitude towards the war, and listen to what the king said, and become the king's thing." ”

When Guo Kai heard this, he was sleepy.

Instead, he stood up and walked up and down the hall.

The more I think about it, the more feasible it becomes.

Suddenly, he said weakly: "Previously, although the king was friendly with the king, but after all, there was no opportunity to contact the queen mother, this gift was to seek this opportunity, if the king acted like this, he would be grateful to the queen mother, and then, the court, the queen mother, and the king were all confidants of the king, and when the king was not sure about government affairs, he would ask the queen mother, how could the queen mother not believe in the king's truth? Is this the best of both worlds? Therefore, in my humble opinion, if the king builds a palace for the queen mother, it must not only be bigger, but also build far better than before! ”

Guo Kai was overjoyed and said, "Mr.'s words are like an empowerment!" I will go into the palace tomorrow to tell the king about this, and the king will not refuse. ”

He smiled mysteriously and said, "Then how is the king going to inform the king and how to build the palace?" ”

Guo Kai was puzzled when he heard this, and then said: "Naturally, choose an excellent place, or rebuild it in the place where the original Huachun Palace was located!"

He shook his head weakly and said, "In that case, what is the difference between it and the previous palace?" ”

"This?"

After thinking about it for a while, Ji Shou said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there are four kinds of wood in the territory of Chu State, such as Nan, camphor, Zi, and Zhen, not only the trees grow extremely tall, but also the trunk is straight, and the wood is extremely hard, all of which are excellent wood for building palaces, however, there is a kind of Nanmu, which is more precious and abnormal, with a light and elegant fragrance, and this wood will shine under the scorching sun, and the golden wire will appear, and the most important thing is that this wood is not afraid of fire, if you use this four woods, especially Nanmu to build a new palace, will inevitably vote for the king and the queen mother's favor, and you can also compare other courtiers who have risen to build palaces, what does the king think? ”

Guo Kai collects treasures all year round.

Nature knows what Nanmu is.

Building a palace with nanmu is a big deal!

Although it is impossible to use nanmu in the whole palace, it is rare to build the beams and pillars of the palace and the eaves of the palace with the characteristics of nanmu.

If it really happens, even the Zhao Palace can't be compared, with Zhao Yan's filial piety to the Empress Dowager Zhao, how can he not like it.

Guo was moved.

However, Nanmu is extremely rare, and sometimes, it is something that money can't buy.

Speaking of this northern border, it is even more impossible to see.

However, since Dun Weak said so, does he have a way?

At this time, Guo Kai said a little clustered: "These four kinds of wood, Benjun has naturally heard of it, it can be said that it is difficult to find thousands of gold, and besides, Chu State is located in a remote area, and Benjun and King Zhao rarely move around and interact with Chu State, I am afraid that there is no way to buy these wood, is there a way for Mr. ”

Hearing this, he nodded slightly, and said: "My subordinates, who have been doing business for generations, have been in business for many years, and have naturally had a lot of dealings with merchants from all over the world, and it just so happens that there is indeed a friend under the door, in the Chu State, his clan has stored a large number of various kinds of wood, and his subordinates are willing to go to buy back this wood for the king, and let the king go up to build a palace for the queen mother." ”

What he said was to buy it back for Guo Kai.

And not for the king and the queen mother.

These words are extremely respectful and humble, and everything is for the sake of the king.

Let Guo Kai be moved.

However, he didn't doubt his weak ability, and at this time, he was even more grateful and said inexplicably: "Guo Kai can have Mr. help, how fortunate it is!" In this matter, Rong Benjun will go to the king tomorrow and say, if the king allows it, then please leave this matter to Mr. ”

Suddenly, he said: "I am willing to be driven by the king!" ”

Subsequently.

The two of them had a good drink in the mansion, and then they supported their tired bodies to rest.

Next.

Guo Kai, as always, came to the DPRK.

Sure enough, as Dun Weak said, someone has already said that they want to rebuild the palace for the Queen Mother.

Zhao Yan naturally nodded and praised again and again.

Guo Xingxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if it weren't for the reminder of the weakness, such a good thing would have fallen into the hands of others.

Immediately walked out and said, "King! The minister also has something to play! ”

Seeing Guo Kai appear, everyone also guessed what Guo Kai meant.

Presumably, he must also come out and want to take the credit for building the palace on himself, but in this matter, whoever speaks first will be whoever, and what reason does Guo Kai have to fight for it.

Guo Kaidao: "The queen mother is the body of ten thousand gold, building a palace for the queen mother, naturally it is also a matter of classification for our courtiers, and now my Zhao country is under the leadership of the king, there is already a sign of prosperity, if it is according to the time to say, build such a palace, isn't it not in line with the identity of the queen mother?" ”
