Shi Miyuan wanted to know who was in the list of officials in the prefecture and county of Gyeonggi Road in the recital that Ye Qing presented to Zhao Kuo, as for the so-called commander of the Tokyo Forbidden Army and other generals at all levels, Shi Miyuan didn't plan to know from the beginning.

After all, the Northland is the base camp for Ye Qing, and Ye Qing is from the military, so the Tokyo Forbidden Army formed by Ye Qing himself, for him, it must be more difficult to intervene than to ascend to the sky.

But Zhao Kuo did not announce the list of Ye Qing's recitals to the public before the few of them left the Qinzheng Palace, and even the recitals were carried by Zhao Kuo to the queen...... No, it is the Ciyuan Hall where the Empress Dowager Li Fengniang is now.

Shi Miyuan, who left the palace, watched Liuzheng and the others get into the carriage and leave, he unconsciously looked up at the somewhat gloomy weather, and sighed in his heart that he was afraid that it was going to rain, so he also got into the carriage.

The original key of the Ministry of Officials, after Shi Miyuan moved to the left minister, was helped by Shi Miyuan to the position of the secretary of the book, which also made the key of the building more and more grateful to Shi Miyuan, and I can't wait to express my gratitude to him.

Shi Miyuan had just returned to the mansion, and the building key and the others had been waiting for a long time, and among the full pile of people in the study, Shi Miyuan still didn't see Zheng Qingzhi's figure, and he snorted with some displeasure in his heart, so that the officials in the room who nodded at him couldn't help but feel a panic in their hearts.

Today's Ministry of Industry Shangshu Li Xinchuan, Shen Jizu, who will be the supervisor, and other Shi Miyuan's henchmen, watched the unhappy Shi Miyuan sit down behind the bookcase, with a flattering smile on their faces, and waited for Shi Miyuan to inform them of entering the palace to see the saint today.

Just when Shi Miyuan began to wonder how to deal with Ye Qing after turning passive into active, in the Ciyuan Hall in the palace, Li Fengniang angrily threw Ye Qing's piece of music on the table.

Zhao Kuo's heart tightened slightly, looked at Li Fengniang who was full of anger, sat down next to him and asked, "Queen Mother, but this Ye Qing really wants to bully his son?" ”

But when Zhao Kuo asked cautiously, Li Fengniang returned to her previous graceful and luxurious demeanor, looked at Zhao Kuo with love in her eyes, and asked with a smile: "What does Kuo'er think?" ”

Zhao Kuo was a little stunned, the young man Lao Cheng's brows furrowed slightly, his eyes moved to the recital, and after thinking for a while, he said seriously: "Erchen thinks that Ye Qingfei is a bully, but what is said in this recital, Erchen thinks about it a few times, and he also thinks that what Shi Miyuan said is quite reasonable, and the situation is ...... The queen mother had just dropped this piece again, so Erchen was a little undecided now. ”

Looking at Zhao Kuo, who looked a little embarrassed after finishing speaking, Li Fengniang's heart was quite gratified, and she couldn't see that it was normal for her to be tired in the music, after all, Zhao Kuo was still young, and he had never experienced the courtier's favorite word game above the court.

However, what made her deeply relieved was that Zhao Kuo could not be sure whether Ye Qing was suspected of bullying the monarch, but he knew how to judge whether this piece was suspected of bullying the monarch through the reactions of other courtiers and herself.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo's reaction, in her opinion, is already commendable, and it is already much stronger than the Emperor Taishang, but if you want to fight with Ye Qing, Shi Miyuan and other courtiers, I am afraid it is still a little far behind.

The new monarch succeeded to the throne and set foot in the court for the first time, Li Fengniang did not expect Zhao Kuo to be able to completely understand the strange waves above the court immediately, not in his position and not seeking his politics, the same is true of the emperor's technique, just like the emperor, who has been the prince for so many years, he still didn't understand anything when he first set foot in the court, and he was still led by the courtiers above the court.

Therefore, only after truly stepping into the court and becoming an emperor will you have the opportunity to truly contact and practice the so-called imperial art and the way of controlling the courtiers.

In short, in Li Fengniang's view, Zhao Kuo can only become a qualified emperor after becoming an emperor at this age, through slow learning, and then he can be familiar with the way of the court.

And if you have been acting as a prince, it is obviously difficult to deal with court affairs from the height of an emperor, and your thoughts will obviously never be as comprehensive as an emperor.

"Does Kuo'er care who pays this money?" Li Fengniang was not in a hurry to give Zhao Kuo a clear answer, and continued to ask step by step. "Erchen just thinks that Ye Qing's recital just didn't make it clear, but what Shi Miyuan said is not unreasonable, so Erchen can't quite know whether Ye Qing is really willing to help Erchen build the palace." The young Zhao Kuo obviously cares more about the actual interests, the benefits that he can see and touch.

Just like an ordinary teenager, whether an elder is good or bad for him, obviously in a rather simple heart, is by no means judged by his earnest words, and obviously cares more about whether the elder will give him some material surprises, such as toys or food.

The young Zhao Kuo was noble, and Li Fengniang was like a tigress to protect him, plus the layer of window paper with Ye Qing, he had almost never been in contact with many people and things before he ascended the throne, so most of his intelligence was still known from books, and this is why, when he learned that he was about to succeed to the throne, the first thing Zhao Kuo did was to find ten attendants for himself first.

"All under the world are kings' lands, and within the four seas are kings' ministers." Li Fengniang smiled and said: "Kuo'er is the lord of the world, the emperor of my Great Song Dynasty, and the wealth of the world is not all yours?" What's more, what they are arguing about now is just who will come out of the Northland or the Hubu. But has Kuo'er ever thought about it, whether it is from the north or from the household, isn't it all the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty? So, why should you mind who paid for the renovation of Tokyo and the Imperial Palace? ”

"Then if Ye Qing doesn't come out, won't Erchen still have to ......." Zhao Kuo was a little confused, could it be that Ye Qing was really just saying beautiful things?

Li Fengniang shook her head with a smile, and then sighed slightly and said, "Ye Qing's move is not to bully the king, but to ...... It's just a matter of using this matter to fight with Shi Miyuanming, and what you have to do is to make a good trade-off between the two. After all, no matter who pays the money, in the end, the money is from the imperial court, and it is all from the Great Song Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with his Ye Qing or Shi Miyuan's personal money. ”

Zhao Kuo's brows were even more wrinkled, he vaguely understood what Li Fengniang meant, but if he was asked to think about it further, he really couldn't come up with a reason.

"The queen mother means that Ye Qing took this opportunity to embarrass Shi Miyuan, and Shi Miyuan also wanted to take this opportunity to make his sons dissatisfied with Ye Qing?" Zhao Kuo asked with some uncertainty.

"The emperor is different from the crown prince, there are some things, when you have been in the court for a long time, you will slowly understand. You're still young, just let them handle these things on their own, and this piece of music ...... You can do it. Li Fengniang is no longer like before at this time, and can't wait to hope that Zhao Kuo will grow up quickly.

Now that she is an emperor, she has time to slowly help Zhao Kuo grow into a qualified king.

"Then if Ye Qing doesn't pay at that time, and the household department doesn't pay for it, then it's still the same thing, and the repair matter is even more distant?" When the young Zhao Kuo always felt that the time was too slow, and when he asked how long it would take to repair the palace and Kaifeng in the Qinzheng Palace, King Qing and others gave a minimum of three to five years, and a maximum of eight or ten years, Zhao Kuo immediately wanted to start repairing it immediately, and then it would be completed tomorrow.

So at this time, when he heard that Li Fengniang asked him to let Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan go to the trouble and prevaricate, he immediately felt that he couldn't afford to wait.

"It's still too early to discuss the matter of returning the capital, but since the imperial court has begun to discuss it now, Ye Qing proposed the matter of returning the capital a few years ago, so this matter naturally needs to be put on the agenda. And the repair of the palace and Kaifeng Mansion is by no means something that can be completed in one day, and ten or eight years is naturally affordable for Kuo'er. Li Fengniang shook her head, looked at Zhao Kuo, who was full of anxiety, and smiled bitterly.

"But the queen mother also said to her sons before, hoping that her sons can do something tangible in the first few years of their succession, so that the people of the world and the courtiers can see that their sons are competent enough to ......." Zhao Kuo, who was young and old, continued to ask.

Li Fengniang continued to shake her head: "If Ye Qing continues the Northern Expedition, no matter how big or small the victory is, it will be your merit as an emperor, which can not be taken away by anyone, and you can become an immortal merit that surpasses your father and others." In comparison, it is all related to the repair of Kaifeng Mansion, what is missing, the money is spent, the history books will be summarized by the word extravagance, the money is spent, where is the Great Song Weiyi? You participated, how will the history books record it? So it's better to leave it to them. You are still young, but you are just twelve years old, even if you are in the past ten years, and you are only twenty-two, as long as you use these ten years to familiarize yourself with everything in the court, it is enough. And in the past ten years, if Ye Qing can recover all the lost territory of my Great Song Dynasty, you will be famous in history at that time, and it will naturally be the best time at that time. ”

"Then if Shi Miyuan asks Erchen ...... again." Zhao Kuo habitually acquiesced in Li Fengniang's arrangement for him, and then felt a little sorry for Shi Miyuan's question.

"Just show Shi Mi this piece of music after your imperial approval, and he will understand." Li Fengniang glanced at the concerto, and then after a slight pause, she pondered: "No matter whether you really want to return it to Kaifeng Mansion in the future, but the matter of repairing Kaifeng Mansion is obviously not too late." Regardless of whether everything can develop as the queen mother said, the construction of Kaifeng Mansion and the imperial palace is extremely beneficial to you or the imperial court. The northern land, after all, is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, Kuo'er may wish to add a deadline on top of this recital, and tell Ye Qing and the Ministry of Industry, the general supervisor and Shi Miyuan, you will see the results in three or five years, and you will complete the repair in ten or eight years. As for the process, let them make trouble. ”

Zhao Kuo's eyes lit up in an instant, the smile on his face gradually spread, and he looked at Li Fengniang and said in surprise: "The whole world is the king's land, and within the four seas, all are the king's ministers." So Erchen doesn't have to care who pays for it, as long as they are given a deadline? The money paid by the northern land or the household department is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, so the sons don't have to worry about this matter at all. As for which of them will pay this money, let them fight by themselves, but after the deadline is up, it does not achieve the effect that the queen mother wants, so the sons have a legitimate reason to ask them for sinking? ”

"They'll blame, but they'll never exceed the deadline you've given them, so doesn't that solve your concerns and save you from having to listen to them in your ear? You can then focus on getting acquainted with the rest of the court. Li Fengniang looked at Zhao Kuo with appreciation, and continued with a smile: "There is no right or wrong in the court, and there is no loyalty and treachery among the courtiers. Whether it is right or wrong, loyal or treacherous, but as long as it is in your interests as a king, you are the courtier you should trust. And some courtiers who can only speak tricks, or sow discord and attack others, you should be vigilant. ”

Zhao Kuo's originally happy expression became serious again, looking at Li Fengniang's equally serious gaze, after thinking for a while, he suddenly got up and knelt down slowly in front of Li Fengniang, and said very seriously: "Erchen thanks the queen mother's teachings, Erchen understands the mother's painstaking efforts." ”

Li Fengniang helped Zhao Kuo up, and said in a serious tone: "You are still young, and it is normal that you don't understand some things." Now, it doesn't matter whether you really understand it or not, you still have time to take your time to get acquainted with it all. The queen mother also believed that she would be able to become a good emperor in the future. ”

Zhao Kuo nodded firmly, his eyes also looked a little resolute at the moment, and after humming heavily, he left the Ciyuan Hall with the song.

After watching Zhao Kuo's figure disappear, Li Fengniang sighed involuntarily, and she also expected it in her heart, Zhao Kuo really understood.

But how can things above the court be so simple, and how can Shi Miyuan, Ye Qing, Liuzheng and others be so easy to deal with?

"Tell Ye Qing that this palace can help him with that, and what to do next depends on himself. Shi Miyuan is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, if it weren't for the timely arrival of his recital today, I'm afraid that Kuo'er would have been persuaded by Shi Miyuan. Li Fengniang said to Zhu Ye'er beside her with some heaviness.

As Zhu Ye'er left, Li Fengniang sat alone in a chair in a daze, thinking about Zhao Kuo's kneeling before leaving, and I don't know if he really understands that whether it is Ye Qing or Shi Miyuan, they all want to suppress each other by currying favor with Zhao Kuo?

Li Fengniang's heart still has a trace of hidden worries, after all, it is the mother of the knowing son, today Zhao Kuo had a lot of complaints about Ye Qing at the beginning, and as Ye Qing's recital was placed in front of him, he immediately changed his opinion of Ye Qing, which made Li Fengniang have to worry, if this goes on like this, will Zhao Kuo be deceived by Shi Miyuan's rhetoric, and thus become more and more dissatisfied with Ye Qing?
