In the end, Zhao Gou finally made a compromise, he promised to reduce the cost of the palace, allocate 300,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury, and the remaining 400,000 taels were still handed over to Zhao Ding to deal with.

However, after this incident, Zhao Gou has endured Zhao Ding to the limit. He had secretly sworn that after the preparation of the military salary was completed, he would definitely deprive Zhao Ding of his position as deputy minister! As for who can take over Zhao Ding's position, it will be up to Zhao Gou and Qin Hui to discuss.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has another important matter to report." After discussing the matter of military salaries, Zhao Ding spoke again.

"What's the matter? Say! There was a hint of impatience on Zhao Gou's face.

"Your Majesty, the entire Jiangnan Imperial Camp is very dissatisfied with Lord Wang Yuan! I don't think Lord Wang can take on the position of commander of the imperial camp anymore! Zhao Ding said.

"Oh? Why is that? Why are the people in the imperial camp dissatisfied with Wang Yuan? Zhao Gou said in surprise.

"Wang Yuan, as the commander of the imperial camp, deducts military salaries! Last year, the imperial camp paid 400,000 taels of military salaries, and only 30,000 taels were distributed to the soldiers, and the rest became his personal property! Zhao Ding said.

"Withholding so much military salary? I'm afraid it's impossible! I still need to look into this matter! Zhao thought about it and said.

After hearing this, Qin Hui next to him secretly scolded Wang Yuan in his heart, although it was common for the Jiangnan Army to deduct military salaries, but it was the first one like Wang Yuan to deduct military salaries so seriously! Other generals deduct military salaries, and generally conspire with their subordinates, the generals eat meat, and the subordinates also have to drink soup, while Wang Yuan does all the bad things alone, and the other subordinates in the imperial camp do not get any benefits!

Therefore, from the top and bottom of the imperial camp, from generals to soldiers, there is no one who does not dislike Wang Yuan!

"Your Majesty, Wang Yuan's reputation in the army is extremely poor! Not only did he withhold military salaries, but he also often punished soldiers! In addition, he did not have any military merits but became the commander of the imperial camp, and some people in the imperial camp had outstanding merits, but they could not be promoted, such as Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others, who were strongly dissatisfied in their hearts! I also heard that Wang Yuan's servants can bully Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others! I'm afraid that the imperial camp has endured to the extreme, and if he doesn't deal with Wang Yuan now, I'm afraid that something big will happen! Zhao Ding said.

"Wang Yuan, as the commander of the imperial camp and the privy envoy, punishes the soldiers who make mistakes, which is normal! As for you saying that he has no military exploits, hmph, in Xiangzhou City that day, Wang Yuan was also one of the first people to take refuge in me, he has the skill of escorting, and no one in the imperial camp can compare to him! Zhao Gou said coldly.

"Your Majesty, you must investigate this matter carefully! When I saw Wang Yuan Wang entering and leaving the palace, many of the soldiers guarding the palace looked at him with hatred in their eyes. Zhao Ding said.

"That's it! I have my own consideration for this matter! If nothing else, disperse. Zhao Gou was very impatient in his heart.

He didn't take Zhao Ding's words to heart, in his opinion, the officers and soldiers in the army hate the officials, which is nothing, some of the officials are more strict with their subordinates, so the subordinates are dissatisfied, so it will not cause a big incident. He didn't know that Wang Yuan had done bad things in the imperial camp, and from Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan to every soldier in the imperial camp, he couldn't wait to break Wang Yuan's body into pieces.

Just because Wang Yuan is Zhao Gou's cronies, Zhao Gou has always protected him!

In fact, over the years, many ministers have said Wang Yuan's various faults in front of Zhao Gou, but Zhao Gou didn't take it to heart.

"I'm tired, let's go first!" Zhao Ding had to say more, Zhao Gou had already stood up and said coldly.

He left the Zichen Hall surrounded by a group of eunuchs and palace maids, and only Zhao Ding and Qin Hui were left in the room.

It's already sunset, and the remnant sun is like blood!

Qin Hui looked at Zhao Ding with a faint smile on his face.

Qin Hui has always disliked Zhao Ding, in his opinion, Zhao Ding is pretending to be high! The whole court is greedy, only Zhao Ding is not greedy! The whole court and the central government do not want war, they all want to make peace with the Jurchens, only Zhao Ding has always opposed peace!

Judging from today's situation, Zhao Gou has also endured Zhao Ding, and it seems that Zhao Ding will soon leave the imperial court.

Thinking of this, Qin Hui felt unusually proud in his heart.

"Lord Qin, I hope you can persuade Your Majesty, you must be careful of Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, I have heard some bad rumors!" Zhao Dingdao.

"Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, they are just two lowly generals, what do they have to worry about? Do they really dare to rebel? I don't believe it! Qin Hui sneered.

During the Northern and Southern Song dynasties, the status of Wenchen was much higher than that of military generals.

Qin Hui has always looked down on those mud legs with weapons, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan are both from poor families, and he has always hated them! Of course, Wang Yuan is different from them, Wang Yuan is from a family of soldiers, a nobleman in the army for generations, and now Wang Yuan is the privy envoy, and Wenchen will not underestimate Wang Yuan! However, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, although they are important generals in the imperial camp, few people look up to them.

"Lord Qin, you still have to be careful!" Zhao Ding reminded again.

"I'll take a closer look at this!" Seeing Zhao Ding's constant reminders, Qin Hui finally became serious, nodded, and said.

"Lord Qin, how is the recent battle situation in the north?" Zhao Ding said again.

"Jiangnan is too far away from the north, and now the war situation in the north has not yet come! But if you want to come to Emperor Xuanwu, you will be vulnerable, and you will definitely lose! We have millions of soldiers and horses, and the Jurchens also have hundreds of thousands of troops, and Guan Shaanxi cannot be our opponent at all! Qin Hui said.

"I also think we're going to win! After this battle, my Great Song Dynasty was finally unified! Lord Qin, if Emperor Xuanwu did not die on the battlefield and we captured Emperor Xuanwu alive, then it would be best to spare his life. Zhao Ding said.

"Spare his life? Why is that? Qin Hui said.

"He is the eldest son of the Emperor Taishang, the former crown prince, and he inherited the throne, to some extent, it is also justified! He is also a royal son of my Great Song Dynasty, so it's best not to kill him. Zhao Ding said.

"Hmph, Emperor Xuanwu has outstanding ability, in just five or six years, he made a earth-shaking change in Guan Shaanxi as a teenager, and he actually killed the Jurchens, the Northern Expedition to Western Xia! If such a person is kept, it will be a great threat to His Majesty, so he must be killed. Qin Hui said.

"Lord Qin, if the two emperors come back in the future and see him dead, won't you complain about Your Majesty?" Zhao Dingdao.

"The two emperors? Well, let's talk about it in the future. Qin Hui sneered and said.

In Qin Hui's opinion, the two emperors never dreamed of coming back! It is impossible for Zhao Gou to welcome the return of the two emperors!

Qin Hui smiled and walked forward, Zhao Ding looked at Qin Hui's back and frowned.

"That's it! Your Majesty has never liked me, and neither do the ministers of the court! I finally realized Qu Yuan's mood back then, everyone was drunk and I woke up alone, and the world was turbid and I was clear! This court is not a place for me Zhao Ding to stay, and after the preparation of the military salary is completed, I will immediately go to the court, and from then on I will be a free and loose person, and I will no longer ask about the affairs of the world! As for whether Emperor Xuanwu is dead or alive, this has nothing to do with me, and I have nothing to do. Zhao Ding let out a long sigh, and finally headed outside.

******

The night was getting darker, and Qin Hui returned to his home.

His home is also magnificent, and it is the existence of Lin'an City second only to the palace.

At this moment, there are candles lit in the bedroom, and there is a fire next to it, and the room is unusually warm.

Qin Hui was sitting at the table, holding a few letters in his hand, checking them one by one.

This is a letter written by the prefects and governors of various places, all of which are letters that want to take refuge in Qin Hui and support Qin Hui.

"Those who know the times are Junjie! The prefects and prefectures in various places are still aware of current affairs! If not, I will definitely replace all the big and small officials in Jiangnan with my Qin Hui's cronies! Qin Hui said secretly.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, Qin Hui put the letter away, and saw a small guy walk in.

"My lord, Lord Kang in the palace is here, and he is waiting outside at this moment!" The little guy said.

"Oh? Kang-sama! Qin Hui was stunned, then stood up and walked outside.

The so-called Lord Kang in the palace is the chief manager of the palace, Kang Xu, the most trusted eunuch of Zhao Gou!

After Zhao Gou ascended the throne, he had unusual cronies of eunuchs, especially Kang Lu, Yan Qi, Gao Miao, Zhang Quwei, Zhang Dan, and Chen Yongxi, who were the most trusted of the six people, who were some of the servants of King Kang's Mansion when he was King Kang. Now Kang Lu and Yan Qi are the general managers of the palace, responsible for all important matters in the palace, Gao Miao and Zhang Quwei are responsible for procuring various palace affairs, and Zhang Dan and Chen Yongxi are responsible for building the palace. The six of them are all powerful people, and one of the main reasons why Wang Yuan was able to become a privy envoy and the commander of the imperial camp was to curry favor with these six people, and these six people helped Wang Yuan speak in front of the emperor.

Qin Hui entered the hall, and Kang Lu was actually standing there, looking anxious.

"Master Kang, it's so late, what do you have to do? Why don't you sit down? Qin Hui said in surprise.

"Big things are not good! Big things are wrong! Kang Lu just saw Qin Hui and immediately spoke.

Before Qin Hui could sit down, Kang Lu had already trotted to Qin Hui.

"What the hell is going on?" Qin Hui hurriedly asked.

"I just got the news that there seems to be a mutiny in the army!" Kang Lu said anxiously.

"What? Mutiny? How did Kang get the news? Qin Hui said in disbelief.

"Up and down the imperial camp, more than 30,000 soldiers want to mutiny and overthrow Wang Yuan! With so many soldiers going to rebel, there is always news coming out! I have some cronies who have gotten the news and come to inform me! Your Majesty is already asleep, so I immediately came to you, Lord Qin! "Constance said.
