Just when Xinjun Zhao Kuo was about to let Shi Miyuan, King Qing and others retreat, Wei Jing, a close eunuch who belonged to him, quickly ran in from outside.

After kneeling down and saluting, he presented the music in his hand to Zhao Kuo, and said, "Perform the sage, the Beidi Festival makes Lord Ye Qingye hurry up the performance." ”

Shi Miyuan and the others, who were about to retire, stopped one by one in an instant when they heard that this recital came from the Northland, and their eight eyes looked at the calm new monarch Zhao Kuo.

After receiving the concert that had just been inspected by Wei Jing and had not been opened by anyone before, Zhao Kuo looked at the concert silently, and there was silence in the Qinzheng Palace, and even King Qing seemed to be able to hear his heartbeat.

After a long time, when Shi Miyuan estimated that Xinjun had already read Ye Qing's recital, and during this time, he watched it no less than three times, Zhao Kuocai slowly closed the recital, and did not mean to give Shi Miyuan and the others a purpose.

"Ye Jiedu envoy invited me, assigned the Ministry of Works, will be the prison official into Kaifeng Mansion, Gyeonggi Road has now been restored as before, but at that time the Jin people for Kaifeng serious damage, Ye Jiedu envoy intends to ask the court to rebuild Kaifeng Mansion and even 16 counties this year. Meantime....... Zhao Kuo looked at Shi Miyuan and the others with focused and solemn expressions, and then continued: "At the same time, Envoy Ye Jiedu has attached the list of the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture and the sixteen counties in this recital. At the same time, the list of officers and men, including the commander and deputy commander of the Tokyo Forbidden Army, was also included. I still need to discuss this matter with my father and queen mother before I can discuss it with the secretaries. ”

Shi Miyuan subconsciously coughed dryly, and his expression became more and more solemn with Zhao Kuo's words just now.

The first strike is stronger, he originally wanted to make a time difference with Ye Qing in this matter, after all, his own people are in Lin'an, and Ye Qing is far away in the north, so no matter how you look at it, he has a great advantage of convenience.

But now, to his surprise, Ye Qing took the initiative to propose that the imperial court send money officials to repair the palace and even the whole of Tokyo.

Ye Qing turned passive into active, which naturally made Shi Miyuan feel a mountain of pressure in his heart instantly, so he listened to Zhao Kuo's words just now more carefully than anything else.

"Returning to the Shengshang, although Ye Qing said that he asked the Shengshang to appoint officials such as the Ministry of Works and the supervisor to go north to Tokyo, he ...... Whether it is repairing the palace or the entire Kaifeng Mansion, it can be said that it costs a lot of money, and the minister does not know that Ye Qing can mention the ...... of repairs in the recital. Shi Miyuan asked tightly, grasping the loophole in Zhao Kuo's words just now.

If Ye Qing didn't mention the cost of repairs at all, then ...... This recital seems to be a loyal performance to the court and the new monarch, but it is better than Ye Qing's premeditated move to use his strength, which can not only relieve the pressure brought to him by the court, but also change from passive to active, and fall into a good reputation as a loyal courtier.

Even Shi Miyuan dared to bet that once the imperial court agreed to send officials north to Kaifeng without thinking because of Ye Qing's recital, then the matter of repairing Kaifeng Mansion and the imperial palace would never simply start repairing in a short period of time.

Ye Qing will inevitably start bargaining with the imperial court for the repair of the matter after the Ministry of Industry and the officials who will be the supervisors go north after the imperial court agrees, and at that time, the imperial court will inevitably form an embarrassing situation because of the promise to go first.

Beidi will never spend a penny to repair the Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial Palace, and it must be after the Ministry of Industry and the general will go north to start planning everything

, Ye Qing came out to the imperial court to repair the silver taels of Kaifeng and the palace, and once the imperial court agreed to pay the money in desperation, then whether this money would be used to repair Kaifeng and the palace, Shi Miyuan was skeptical, and even in his opinion, no matter how many silver taels the imperial court allocated to the north, Ye Qing would be able to spend one-tenth of it on repairing Kaifeng and the palace at that time, which would already be regarded as the best result.

"Lord Ye didn't mention the cost of repairs, but since Lord Ye took the initiative to ask for repairs, presumably Lord Ye had already planned to take the initiative to pay for me. Didn't you just say that although the Northland is not rich today, it can also be judged by its solidity? Zhao Kuo's eyes were clear, and he didn't feel that Ye Qing's recital had any ill intentions, in his opinion, between the lines were full of the shadows of loyal courtiers.

"Lord Ye's loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth, so that the Holy Lord can rest assured about this matter. The minister thought that this matter could be left to Ye Jiedu to decide. King Qing and Chongguo Gong secretly glanced at each other, and immediately took advantage of Ye Qing's recital to win back a game for themselves.

"I think so." Zhao Kuo nodded in agreement.

Liuzheng didn't say a word, of course he didn't believe that Ye Qing would be as good as Zhao Kuo thought, and would take the initiative to take on such a huge amount of silver taels to help the imperial court repair Kaifeng and the palace.

If Ye Qing was really the kind of courtier who would always put the interests of the court and the saint first, then the Northland would not be in the current situation, and Ye Qing would be a little sorry for his reputation as a hero in the Northland.

So in Liuzheng's opinion, no matter who pays for this matter, it doesn't matter to him, anyway, as long as the money can be used to repair Kaifeng and the palace, as long as Ye Qing agrees to repair the Kaifeng Mansion and the palace at this time, it is for the future court to prepare for the premise, it is a good thing for the court, the process is ...... It doesn't matter.

"But what if Ye Qing refuses to give this money on the grounds that there is no money in the north at that time?" Shi Miyuan asked cautiously.

Zhao Kuo's heart was a little incredulous, and his knee-jerk reaction was, how is this possible? The music in black and white is placed in front of him, could it be that when the time comes, Ye Qing will still regret it? Doesn't he know that this is a crime of deception?

At this time, in the Ye Qing study of Jinan Ye Mansion, after the maid put down the teacup and retreated, she rushed to Zhang Kui, the prefect of Kaifeng in Jinan, a few days ago, looked at Ye Qing who was reading the documents, and asked with some uncertainty: "My lord, do you really want to repair Kaifeng Mansion and the palace for the imperial court?" ”

Ye Qing flipped through the documents brought by Zhang Kui, which included some stones and other materials that were left behind after Emperor Huizong built Genyue and was destroyed by the Jin people, and glanced up at Zhang Kui and said: "It's just a word game, even if the saint can't see through it, the queen will see through it." But it's hard to say whether the queen will demolish it. I am anxious for you to come to Jinan, in addition to this document about the sixteen counties, I want you to be close to Xu Han, and you and he will work together on Gyeonggi Road in the future, so I hope you two will get to know each other here first. ”

Zhang Kui nodded silently, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said to Ye Qing: "My lord, aren't you afraid that the Holy Lord will punish you for the crime of bullying the king because of this matter?" ”

"There are Shi Miyuan and others in the court, in front of the saint to sow discord all the time, even if there is no such thing, will the saint change the northland and

What do I think? If there are more lice, you will not bite, and if you have more debts, you will not worry. What's more, if we don't take the initiative to show our attitude, once we are passive, then it will be even more disadvantageous to us, and it will only give the court more opportunities to take advantage of, so it is better to strike first and just make a statement, and we don't need to do anything. ”

"That'...... Once the imperial court will send officials from the Ministry of Industry and the prison to Kaifeng Mansion in a short period of time, how should the lower officials choose? Zhang Kui frowned slightly, he didn't have any feelings for Song Ting, after all, whether it was him Zhang Kui or Zhou Zong, the prefect of Luoyang, they were originally the relics of the Jin Kingdom, and it was entirely because of Ye Qing's appreciation of the two of them that they were able to have today's dispatch and status.

"Promise them everything, but as long as it involves goods and money, you can spread your hands together, and if they press every step, push me to it. In any case, taxes cannot be levied, because in this case, it will be bad for our foundation in the Northland, and for the imperial court, there is no need to worry about whether the Northland is stable or not, because ...... It's a big deal that the imperial court can completely revoke the relocation of the capital, but in the end, it will damage our interests. Ye Qing stopped the pen in his hand, nearly half of the county magistrates of the sixteen counties, most of them were the first time they saw the name, and as for whether they knew it or not, they didn't know any of them.

However, this list of counties can be believed, because many of them are last year's Enke Jinshi, and almost all of them have been carefully screened by Liu Keshi and Liu Minxing of Chang'an, who are far away in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, so there is no need to worry about any mistakes.

"The meaning of the adult Xia Guan understands, one word: drag, keep dragging is, no matter what, as long as it is something that is open and will not be disadvantageous to the adult, he will not hesitate to agree, but if it involves money and materials, then Xia Guan and Gyeonggi Road will not be able to help." Zhang Kui instantly understood what Ye Qing meant, and began to show a relaxed smile on his face.

"Isn't this always the case in court officialdom?" Ye Qing also showed a discouraged smile at Zhang Kui, and after hastily reading a few more documents from the Northland, he got up and walked out of the study with Zhang Kui: "The Tokyo Forbidden Army has a total of 50,000 foot cavalry, commanded by Xu Han alone, and after returning to Kaifeng in the future, I hope that the two of you will work together." ”

"Xu Han is from ......." Zhang Kui has never seen Xu Han until now, and it is said that these days, he has been busy selecting infantry cavalry soldiers and generals at all levels in the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate.

"Planting flowers." Ye Qing said lightly.

Zhang Kui's mouth opened wide in an instant, his expression was full of surprise, he had naturally heard of the Flower Planter Army, this was definitely Ye Qing's henchman's army, and following Ye Qing was a brave army that had gone south and north, east and west.

Especially after the Battle of Guanshan, it has become an iron-blooded army that is greatly admired by all the armies in the North, and now almost all the soldiers in the Northland dream of one day being able to join the Chinese Army.

But obviously, the strictness of the Flower Planter Army is not something that anyone can join if they want to, and the Tokyo Forbidden Army, which Ye Qing established in order to be independent of the three major capitals, actually sent a commander of the Flower Planter Army to lead the forbidden army, which was far more surprised than surprised for Zhang Kui.

And he believes that once Kaifeng Mansion really has such an army, then he can sleep more comfortably at night, and he doesn't have to worry about it at all, for fear that one day, the unguarded Kaifeng, Luoyang and other places will be captured by the Jin people across the river overnight.
