Kaifeng Mansion is divided into the imperial city, the inner city and the outer city, whether it is the imperial city or the entire Kaifeng Mansion, it is still imitating the establishment of Xijing Luoyang, but now the degree of destruction under the rule of the Jin people is also quite serious.

Although the traces of burning, killing and looting after the Jin people captured Kaifeng Mansion have long disappeared, when Han Yanjia, Xie Shenfu and Li Xinchuan and other officials from Lin'an really set foot on the land of Kaifeng Mansion, they still have a lot of emotion in their hearts.

That is both a familiar and unfamiliar building, that road, although they have never been set foot on, but now stepping into the streets and alleys of the capital again, it still makes everyone sigh in their hearts.

There is no longer the prosperity and hustle and bustle recorded in the historical records, and there is no comparable building that they know from the previous generation, or even from the mouths of the previous generation, and even the garden Genyue built by Emperor Huizong has long since disappeared, and the place where it comes into view is a mess.

Those strange stones that were transported with great difficulty, were either looted to Yanjing by the Jin people back then, and some of the unsightly ones are now lying quietly in the weeds with those ruined buildings, which have long lost the elegance and artistic conception of the year, only a burst of desolation is close to everyone's hearts, hitting the chests of Han Yanjia, Xie Shenfu, Li Xinchuan and others, and a melancholy that cannot be vented is like a boulder lying in the loess, pressing heavily on their chests.

The outer city and the inner city are still there, but they have long since lost the appearance of the year, and the same is true of the imperial city, after Ye Qing recaptured Kaifeng, Luoyang and other places, the imperial city once again became a forbidden place from the Jin people's government office, but from beginning to end, Ye Qing has never set foot in it.

King Qing and Zhang Kui, the pacification envoy of Kaifeng Mansion, accompanied by Xie Shenfu and others with gloomy expressions, when they came to the imperial city from the post house, their expressions became more and more gloomy and dignified when they saw no signs of construction in front of them, and the corners were still full of desolate palaces that were intact.

Since entering the city, Xie Shenfu has found that Kaifeng Mansion has been in the capital for nearly a year since the imperial court stayed, even if Kaifeng Mansion has not been able to rebuild anything decent, but it should not be the lifeless, desolate and desolate appearance in front of him.

The palace of Kaifeng Mansion is not very big, according to the establishment of Luoyang back then, it is also built with Wende Palace, Zichen Palace, and Chongzheng Hall as the main body, although the three major halls are still there, but from a distance, the dilapidated appearance, and the shadow left by the Jin people can be seen everywhere, in the eyes of Xie Shenfu and others, it seems so funny and ashamed.

"As the pacification envoy of Kaifeng Mansion, Lord Zhang must have a reasonable explanation for why the construction has not been started until now?" Xie Shenfu didn't dare to offend King Qing, but he, a courtier who came from Lin'an, should not have a problem questioning the officials who stayed in the capital in the north.

Li Xinchuan was silent, with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, and walked along the palace wall, and Han Yanjia, who had been in a dilemma because of Li Xinchuan and Xie Shenfu along the way, could only listen.

Although he said that he was the leader along the way, he still asked Xie Shenfu and Li Xinchuan for advice on everything, just because Han Yanjia didn't want to offend both sides, so along the way, only he knew best how much suffering he had suffered.

Zhang Kui glanced at Xie Shenfu, who had a gloomy look, and then glanced at Queen Qing again, and said lightly: "There is no money, so it can't be built." ”

"No money? Since the first day of this year, the household department has allocated a large amount of money, craftsmen, etc., but Lord Zhang is now open his mouth and says that there is no money? Could it be that the money is all greedy for ink by Lord Zhang? Xie Shenfu was already dissatisfied with Zhang Kuina's careless attitude after he entered Kaifeng Mansion.

In any case, they were also sent by the imperial court, but Zhang Kui's attitude towards them was not to mention respect, that is, he couldn't even talk about respect in his opinion, and all this he had seen since entering Kaifeng, as well as the palace where he lived like a lonely ghost, including the anger in his heart about the atrocities of the Jin people back then, was completely stimulated by Zhang Kui's careless attitude at this moment.

"Greedy for ink? I don't know if you have proof? Zhang Kui was still careless, ignoring Xie Shenfu, whose expression had become more and more gloomy.

And Han Yanjia and King Qing were caught in the middle, which was somewhat embarrassing.

King Qing naturally knew where the money went, but Han Yanjia always remembered what to do with his trip to the north

Fellowship with the saints who trust in Him.

"Lord Zhang, what do you mean by that? With such a negative trust of the imperial court, doesn't Lord Zhang feel ashamed? The imperial court trusts you to let you serve as Kaifeng's pacification envoy, don't forget, this official can make you dismiss from office with a concert! If you can't give this official an explanation today, then don't blame the old man for playing the holy ....... Facing Zhang Kui's carelessness, Xie Shenfu was instantly furious and said coldly to Zhang Kui.

King Qing was on the side as if he hadn't heard it, Li Xinchuan not far away, still had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Xie Shenfu really regarded himself as a person, and when he came to the north, he walked safely and steadily, and when he went back, he Li Xinchuan was already satisfied.

After all, this is the Northland, a place where the imperial court can't reach out to the officials, if they are all as hard as Xie Shenfu, it is unknown whether they can return to Lin'an on this trip to the Northland.

Since King Qing stood aside and didn't speak, and Zhang Kui didn't care whether the court would punish him at all, so since he dared to take them to see the palace that had not moved at all, it was enough to show that in Zhang Kui's eyes, the court had no pressure on him at all, as long as Ye Qing supported him behind him, he didn't care at all that any official who came to Kaifeng Mansion to impeach him in the imperial court.

"Why don't you try to play the court? Let's see if the court will punish me? But for the sake of you coming all the way here, I can't let you run this trip in vain, lest you fools won't be able to make a difference after returning to Lin'an. The money and food of the household department have their own use, and as for the reconstruction of this Kaifeng Mansion, it is naturally necessary to push it back. Of course, Zhang has never been greedy for ink, and King Qing can testify for me in this matter. Zhang Kui put his hands in his cuffs, and accompanied them to see this desolate palace in the winter, which was simply a sin.

And when Zhang Kui pulled King Qing in, King Qing still looked very calm, Li Xinchuan was shocked in his heart, could it be that King Qing and Ye Qing colluded together?

"It's not a secret, before you came today, this king just received news from Lord Ye, and now Taiyuan Mansion has been recovered by Lord Ye." King Qing first released an exciting news, and then continued: "As for the money for the repair of Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial Palace, it is indeed misappropriated for other purposes now, part of it is provided to Lord Ye for the Northern Expedition, and part of it is ...... It was also ordered by Lord Ye that all of them were appropriated to understand the state to build and repair the Wu'an Wang Temple. ”

"Wu'an Wang Temple?" Li Xinchuan suddenly turned around and asked.

And Xie Shenfu was still gloomy cheeks: "This money and grain is the money used by the saint to build the capital of Liu, Ye Qing He embezzled it privately, didn't King Qing ask?" Just let him be so arbitrary and do whatever he wants? ”

"So what's not? Is it up to you to recover Taiyuan? Zhang Kui sneered at each other: "When you come to Kaifeng, you don't ask the reason, do you know?" The Holy One asked you to come here to supervise the construction or to supervise this matter? Money and food are naturally to be used on the blade, and naturally, it is also up to Lord Ye to have the final say, and you have no right to ask. ”

"You...... presumptuous, the official will give the court a chapter ....... "Xie Shenfu was furious, there was no king law in Zhang Kui's eyes!

"You can try, if your recital can leave Kaifeng Mansion, I, Zhang Kui, will immediately find Lord Ye to ask for guilt, and ask him to dismiss my Kaifeng Mansion pacification envoy." Zhang Kui, who was originally holding his hands in his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, looked at Xie Shenfu proudly and said.

"You...... It's just lawless, he, Ye Qing, is just the envoy of the Northland Festival, who is the pacification envoy of Kaifeng Mansion, and he Ye Qing is not in charge! Xie Shenfu was even more dissatisfied with Zhang Kui's tough attitude, and didn't leave them any face at all, and similarly, he didn't even bother to tell them nonsense, and directly made it clear that in the Northland, they can do whatever they want.

"Lord Xie doesn't need to be angry, the embezzlement of money and food, this king agreed. What's more, at the moment, compared to the construction of Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial Palace, it is obvious that the Northern Expedition led by Lord Ye is more important. At that time, the widest territory of our dynasty was only bounded by Yanmen Pass with the Jin people, and later after Taiyuan handed over to others, how much trouble and disadvantage it caused to our dynasty, presumably Lord Xie should also know, right? Now that Lord Ye has recovered Taiyuan, and Yanmen Pass is just around the corner, even before the first day, it is not a fool's dream to take down the sixteen states of Yanyun that I have been thinking about for so many years. Therefore, Lord Xie, although he has never played the Holy Lord,

But presumably, the saint can also distinguish which is more important than the one who retains the capital and the recovery of Taiyuan. ”

"As for ......." King Qing glanced at Xie Shenfu, and after thinking for a while, he continued: "Although this king has truthfully conveyed to the left minister Shi Miyuan and the right minister to stay right, and informed Lord Ye that you came to Kaifeng, but now Lord Ye has not replied whether he agrees or not. So...... You are now in Kaifeng, and this king suggests that you might as well not talk and be held accountable at will, but just take a walk and take a look. After all, if Lord Ye has not replied to the letter whether you can stay in front of Kaifeng, you must leave before the first day, and you can also return to Lin'an to report to the saint when the time comes. But if you are as impulsive as Lord Xie, ignore the face of Beidi and Lord Ye, and hold you accountable without asking the reason, and if you ask the court to blame Lord Zhang, I am afraid that this king will let you leave Kaifeng Mansion now. ”

"Does King Qing also want to ignore the authority of the imperial court and succumb to the command of the hero Ye Qing?" Xie Shenfu was full of anger, and Li Xinchuan was also shocked by King Qing's words, and looked back at King Qing with some incredulity.

Han Yanjia secretly complained on the side, and shouted in his heart: I knew that coming to the Northland was definitely not a grace, this was simply like the eighteenth layer of hell, and it was probably a question of whether I could return to Lin'an or not.

"In that case, this king would like to ask Lord Xie...... From your point of view, is it important for my Great Song Dynasty to recover the territory that was plundered by the Jin people, or is it important to rebuild Kaifeng, the capital of Liu? Lord Xie opened his mouth and closed his mouth, and he was a hero and a minister. Dare to ask what is Lord Ye's assertiveness and doing whatever he wants in the Northland? If there is no Lord Ye to fight in the south and the north, and fight with the Jin people on the front line, Lord Xie, this king wants to ask you, do you still have the opportunity to stand in Kaifeng and point fingers? Talking about how to build Liudu? King Qing's cheeks were red from the cold, and his tone became tougher and colder like the temperature of this cold winter.

"I also know that I don't forget to dig wells, Xie Shenfu, this is Kaifeng, and it is the northern land that Lord Ye has recovered for the imperial court after several lives and deaths, and you ...... Standing and talking without backache has to deal with the sins of the official, and you want to impeach Lord Ye, are you really wolf-hearted, I really don't know how to thank Lord Ye, it is because of Lord Ye, you have the opportunity to stand here in Kaifeng today, looking forward to staying in the capital? Zhang Kui continued to hold his hands, and now he even locked his neck because of the cold, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a pacifier of Kaifeng Mansion, but like an ordinary person shivering from the cold.

Han Yanjia quite agreed with King Qing and Zhang Kui's words in his heart, but because Xie Shenfu and Li Xinchuan and others followed him, naturally, he couldn't clearly approve of King Qing and Zhang Kui at this moment.

Xie Shenfu's cheeks didn't know if they were frozen, or because he was angry, his face was pale, his lips were closed, and his chest was rising and falling violently, but in the face of King Qing's fearlessness and Zhang Kui's carelessness, he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Good!" Xie Shenfu took a deep breath, looked at King Qing and said, "Then with King Qing's meaning, I still have to wait for Lord Ye to agree before I can stay in Kaifeng, right?" ”

"If you don't hold you accountable indiscriminately, you can stay in Kaifeng until the first day, of course, this king also hopes that you can make pertinent and objective suggestions on the matter of rebuilding the capital, but if it is...... Because Kaifeng has not yet started, and all this is regarded as the arbitrariness of Lord Ye, then this king can only ask you to leave for Lin'an immediately, as for whether the saint will ask the king, this king will give the saint an explanation at that time. Qingwang Zhao Kai was also a little shivering from the cold, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck in the cold wind and glanced at Zhang Kui.

Zhang Kui immediately understood, and smiled at King Qing: "King Qing has been here no less than a hundred times, and now that the weather is freezing, you might as well go back first, and the lower officials will send them back to the post house." ”

"Okay, this ghost weather is too tired, we all feel the cold wind at this station, and now Lord Ye is still wearing cold armor, and he is facing the life and death of the Jin people in the northern land. So, Lord Li, Lord Xie, compare your heart to your heart, without Lord Ye on the front line to shelter you and me, where would you stand here and sigh about the prosperous Kaifeng of the year. By the way, Zhang Kui, those grains, grass, money, and grains in the treasury will be sent across the river tomorrow and sent them to Lord Ye, don't starve the front-line soldiers. The words behind him can even be heard by Han Yanjia, which is obviously King Qing disgusting Li Xinchuan and Xie Shenfu.
