The Yamen of the Fujian Road Transfer Division received Song Qi's letter and smiled from ear to ear, this is a credit from heaven! Although they were only responsible for transporting, three million copper coins were a lot, and it didn't take much time to go back and forth, and it was a great achievement to send them to the capital safely, and the transshipment department acted quickly and prepared ships to transport the money.

Another messenger with an eight-hundred-mile rush was tired in front of the Suzaku Gate of Kaifeng City, and the guards of the imperial city saw the red feather behind him and hurriedly went to inform his own adult, all of them, it was the general of the right prison guard who was on duty today, Gao Chugong, he looked at Hongling and frowned and said, "Help him enter the palace"

Zhao Zhen was teasing his chubby son, Shangguan Wen came in and said, "Your Majesty, there is an eight-hundred-mile urgent messenger who is tired and collapsed in front of the Suzaku Gate, and the general of the right prison guard, Gao Chugong, has taken him to the Vertical Arch Palace." ”

Zhao Zhen gently put his son into the queen's arms, looked at the hara left at the corner of his mouth and said: "Why does this kid eat and sleep all day, eat when he wakes up, and don't cry or make trouble." ”

The nurse who served Zhao Xin said: "King Yong's body has grown very fast, he has grown more than five pounds in a month, and children are like this, and he will start crying in another month, and now it's not time." ”

Empress Cao said: "Shangguan is looking for you something? Hurry up and deal with it, it's not annoying to hold it for so long! The court is important. ”

Zhao Zhen reluctantly glanced at his son and Shangguan Wen out of Huining Palace together, and asked as he walked, "Do you know that it is the eight-hundred-mile rush there?" I haven't heard anything recently, and it's not difficult for Lianghuai Bao Zheng to go to the town. ”

"People are still in a coma, and no one dares to open the letter when the emperor is not there."

When Zhao Zhen arrived at the Vertical Arch Hall, he saw the messenger lying on the ground, and he said to Shangguan Wen: "Feed him some water first, don't let anything happen to people, and ask when he wakes up." ”

The fluttering words showed the demeanor of a benevolent monarch, and Zhao Zhen, who had a son, became more and more benevolent, and Gao Gong and a few soldiers were also secretly moved, this country should be sat by the people of the Zhao family, and the emperor is a good emperor who is rare in the ages.

The first thing the messenger said when he opened his eyes was, "What is this place, I am the messenger of the eight hundred miles expedited." ”

Shangguan Wen said with a smile: "This is the emperor's study, the one in front of you is the emperor, what is there to say now!"

The messenger looked at his surroundings and said, "Is this really a palace?" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled, and he said: "This vertical arch hall is the only one in the world!" I can't be faked by anyone, and I can rest assured that this is the Imperial Palace. Listen to your accent is Fujianese. ”

"I am from Quanzhou, the captain of the Quanzhou Inspection Army, this is a letter from Lord Song to the emperor."

Zhao Zhen remembered that Song Qi and that kid had been going to the south for a month, and this was the first time they had written back, because their son had forgotten about them, what could they do to send a letter urgently for eight hundred miles, and the rebellion should not be so exaggerated.

Shangguan Wen took the letter and checked the fire paint, pinched the envelope, put it to his mouth and smelled it, and nodded to Zhao Zhen after no problem, Zhao Zhen opened the envelope and took out more than a dozen pages of content to read, Shangguan Wen and the others all found the emperor's strangeness.

Is the letter true? If you lie to me in this matter, you know the consequences. Zhao Zhen asked with a hideous face.

The messenger said: "I am the guard sent by the inspector to Lu Gongzi, everything from Quanzhou to Mayi is experienced by thousands of our people, I am sure that Lu Gongzi said to me, if the emperor wants to ask, say that this letter was written by Lord Song Qi." ”

"Okay, good, good, he really didn't let me down, and he didn't waste my trust, Xuan Yanshu, Du Yan, Jia Changchao, Zhang Fangping entered the palace to meet him, Shangguan, you arrange for the messenger to take a rest, I will send him back at any time."

Gao Chu Gong said: "The minister retreated first"

Zhao Zhen was excited and didn't forget to say: "The marriage between Meili and Xiaolin, General Gao, will take time to decide, and my uncle in the province will talk in my ear every day, and they are not too young." ”

It's okay for us to be women, why shouldn't we bring it up! Gao Zugong said: "I will discuss it with Lord Li, and there is nothing to do." ”

Gao Gong left, Zhao Zhen was still excited, he couldn't stop, it was really a country that couldn't finish eating! The letter said that the boy had used the means of grace and power to properly govern the natives, and the good news of the fathers and ancestors followed one by one.

Yan Shu also said to Du Yan on the road if something big had happened again, seeing Zhao Zhen's expression, the stone in their hearts fell to the ground, and happily explained that it was a good thing, Ouyang Xiu said: "The emperor has something good to share with us." ”

Ouyang Xiu took the letter and showed it to Yan Shu first, this is the rule, he ranks the oldest among these people, and it will be his turn in the end, Yan Shu said calmly after reading the letter: "There are few copper mines in the Great Song Dynasty with such a large output, and we don't have to worry about copper coins anymore when they are all shipped back, and the 1,000 small inspection army has really done it." ”

Zhang Fangping said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, let the ministers go!" Song Qi's personality is a bit indecisive, I'm afraid he can't fight that little fox. "Zhang Fangping, the three envoys, is almost insane.

"Zhang Aiqing, don't worry, we all come up with a complete strategy, and there is no special case for important ministers to go to the wilderness!"

Du Yan asked: "Why haven't I heard of the three Great Song warships in that kid's hand, does the emperor know?" ”

Zhao Zhen said: "That's all trivial, Du Aiqing doesn't have to care." ”

Yan Shu said: "Let the coastal areas send ships to transport the grain back first, the situation in Lianghuai is not optimistic, the mining of copper ore takes time, one by one, do not overdo it." ”

"Zaisuke is right, I think a thousand people are a bit less, what do you think? It's a country anyway. ”

Jia Changchao said: "It's a bit small, in the past, a thousand people set up a prison army, and if the number of people increases, it can't be said that it will not be established." ”

Yan Shu said: "The establishment of the prison army is very necessary, that kid's methods are too violent, and he doesn't poke a hole in the sky with more troops in his hands, you didn't find that Lord Song's letter was speaking to that kid." ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "Lord Yan has never been in contact with him, I don't know how powerful that kid is, he can turn steel into finger wrapping, if you want to set up a prison army for him, you must be able to suppress him and make him obedient, there are a few people who are suitable, but they won't go." ”

Zhao Zhen asked curiously: "Who is Aiqing talking about?" ”

"Fan Xiwen is the first, he has a special affection for Xiwen, which we can't compare, but Xiwen can't leave Shaanxi for the time being, his master is the second, Shao Yong is not keen to be an official emperor, he may not listen to it, the third is the emperor, and it can be seen that he also respects you very much."

Jia Changchao said: "No, what is the idea, Song Qi's letter said that he is very good to the Song people, he is very hostile to foreign races, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the way of dealing with it is bloody, hundreds of pirates ordered to shoot without blinking, didn't he say that he could carve out a piece of land in Mayi?" We can build a base there, and choose an official position to hang in the Ministry of Rites or Honglu Temple. ”

Du Yan said: "Jia Xiang's idea works, this person's army, copper mines, and indigenous people can all deal with it." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Then this person's rights are too big, a country within a country." ”

Yan Shu said: "According to the ancestral law, it will be elected for three years, and it will not be re-elected, and then a general judgment will be placed." ”

Several people discussed until it was completely dark, Zhao Zhen yawned and said: "If the people from the Privy Council don't come today, it's better to inform them about the affairs involving the army, Yan Xiang, you can do it!" Let's all go home! It's so late. ”

The next morning, Bao Zheng and Zhang Tangqing got together in Jiangning Qinxingyuan, Zhang Tangqing said to Bao Zheng: "The ordinary warehouses in Huangzhou and Shuzhou are empty, and the adults have no gains in Guangzhou." ”

Bao Zheng said with a sad face: "Like you, Cao Zhifei doesn't need to be like this if he wants to die, you know that I went to the market early today to ask about the price of rice, and you may think I'm talking nonsense, fifty wen a pound is about to rise to one hundred wen, a full twenty times, and I suspect that the grain in the hands of the grain merchant is in the usual warehouse." ”

"Then my lord sees that there is not much food on the market."

"Do you think it's going to be too much? Now many people still have money in their hands, they are waiting for most people to use up the money in their hands and then use land and family property as collateral, you can't imagine how dark their hearts are. ”

Zhang Tangqing said: "We can't take care of the businessman now, have you thought about the problem of the West Road?" ”

Bao Zheng said: "Cao Zhifei doesn't have such a big courage, I believe in being greedy for a little money, he can't do such a large amount of blatant corruption, we have been here for ten days, Cao Zhifei hasn't come to see me yet, is it normal?" ”

"He broke the jar and fell, and it was a little tricky to involve the Cao family, and the birth of King Yong added a layer of protective clothing to the Cao family."

"Think about it more, why did those people in the court let me come, the Cao family's power is too great, and some people are starting to worry."

Cao Zhifei now looked at the young man sitting opposite and said, "You asked me to do this and said that it was my cousin's meaning, and now you don't want to give me an explanation?" ”

"Uncle Cousin, don't worry, Bao Zheng is just a Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and there is still a chance to rescue."

"How to rescue? You tell me, Bao Zheng is a Qincha, I haven't been to the meeting for so long, I don't have the face to be a person, I will write a letter to my cousin, I won't do this official, I can't live and ask for anything else. ”
