Du Jinping and Cao Kechun hurriedly took out the official seals of their respective offices from the brocade official uniforms and handed them to Shi Miyuan. Shi Miyuan held the official seals wrapped in white silk on both sides, got up and came to the bookcase in front of the screen, Cao and Du both got up and looked up at the bookcase. Qin Guoxi followed and walked over, flattened the conviction book prepared by Cao Kechun from the middle to both sides with two paperweights, and said: "Prime Minister, will this silk yarn be framed by a craftsman in the house first, or wait for the seal of Dali Temple." ”

Shi Miyuan was silent, he opened the two large seals, and pressed them hard under the conviction book, leaving two bright red marks. "Guoxi, you have to go to Dali Temple for a trip, and bring it back before the beginning of Mao." "Prime Minister, Xia Guan has just returned from Dali Temple, and he has just ...... with Lord Zheng There was almost a conflict. ”

Qin Guoxi didn't expect that this errand would fall on him in the end, and he was a little embarrassed. But he suddenly remembered that when the meeting was in the court, he would have to rely on Shi Miyuan to cover up the false decree for him, so he had to say again: "That's it, if you can do things for the prime minister, the lower officials should not shirk." With that, he took the yellow silk, gave a salute, and turned to walk away quickly.

"General Qin, don't worry," Shi Miyuan shouted, and he returned the official seal to Du Jinping and Cao Kechun, "The two adults will go back with General Qin, and we will see you in the court later." Qin Guoxi stood by the door, and when Du Jinping and Cao Kechun said goodbye to Shi Miyuan, the three of them walked out together. Shi Mi looked at their backs and let out a tired sigh.

In the imperial city, the little palace maid who had just arrived at Funing Palace to deliver the message was talking about something in the Ciyuan Hall at this time, and opposite her, a woman was wearing a bamboo moon-colored silk skirt, with shiny black hair, half-lying on the Xiangfei couch and flipping through a book. “…… The slave maid had already brought the words, but Liu Neishou said that he really didn't know when His Majesty would be free today. The little palace maid said.

"Haiya, you just said, who is consulting with Your Majesty?" The woman closed the book and picked up the blanket that she was wearing. She lifted an unpowdered face, and her eyebrows and eyes took up the tenderness of the world. "Back to the concubine's words, Liu Neishou said that it was Lord Jiangning Zhao." "Lord Zhao...... Jiang Ning's ......" Zhang Guifei's lips opened slightly, repeating these words.

"It's Cheongju." The light in her eyes was suddenly lit by candlelight: "If Qingzhou comes to Lin'an, then Hua'er must also come, they are so good, they will definitely get together in Lin'an." ”

Haiya was a little embarrassed when she heard this: "Who the concubine is talking about, the slave doesn't know." "Naturally, you don't know, it's a pity that Dongqing is sick and not here at this time, if she is here, she will definitely know who I am talking about." Zhang Guifei said with a smile. Haiya was terrified when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "The noble concubine forgives her sins, Haiya is talented and stupid, so naturally she can't be compared with Sister Dongqing." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Guifei lifted the blanket and sat up slowly: "I mean that, I have never treated you differently because Dongqing was the maid I brought from home, you don't have to be so nervous." As he spoke, he pulled Haiya closer: "You kid, you're too careful, maybe you can learn from a few of them, be bolder, this palace is inside, as long as I am here, no one will dare to bully you." ”

Haiya was very moved and said: "Niangniang is pure by nature, I have said these words to the slave and maid a few times, and the slave and maid have remembered them." "Okay, the Holy One is coming soon, so help me refresh." Zhang Guifei put on a pair of satin shoes embroidered with hibiscus, stood up and said: "Wait another day, you prepare the carriage and horses, and quietly go out of the palace with me, let's go see my nephew, I haven't seen him for a long time." ”

Haiya hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you still need to use this matter?" The concubine lifted the lotus step lightly, walked to the bronze mirror and sat down and said: "No, the official family has been busy with court affairs recently, and rarely comes over during the day, let's go out and have a look, and we will come back, and no one will know." Even if you can't see him, it's good to sit in Qingpingzhai. Haiya knew that the concubine had made up her mind, so she silently responded and walked over to comb the concubine's hair. Not long after, a rooster crows in the distance.

In Qingpingzhai, Su Mengtang saw that Ou Jinshu, Qiuqiu, and March were all asleep, so he didn't wake them up, and only walked to the hall with the three of Qingzhou to talk. Zhao Qingzhou told Zhang and Su the words of Song Lizong tonight: "...... The official family also said that now the Mongols are eyeing the tiger, since the beginning of the year, they have repeatedly defeated the Jin soldiers after entering the Raofeng Pass, attacked Bianliang in March, attacked Xuzhou in June, and now Junzhou, Luozhou, Suizhou have fallen one after another, Yang Woyan, Fan Ze, Wanyan Heda three Jin generals have died one after another, so far Jin Zhijian will be exhausted, there is no power to recover, this is my Great Song Dynasty, may be a good opportunity to destroy Jin. ”

When Zhang Yunhua heard this, he got up and closed the door of the room, and said: "It seems that Su Ri is prejudiced against the official family, and since he told you this, it means that he must have a plan in his heart. Although the Jin State is now defeated, I heard Xiang Kang say that after the autumn, the Mongols sent envoys to Jin to negotiate peace, if the Great Song Dynasty really wants to recover the northern land, it will definitely not wait for the Jin-Mongolia union, I am afraid that war will arise in the next few months. ”

As soon as he heard the word "war", Su Mengtang felt a slight coolness out of thin air, every time there was a war, it was bound to be a misery and the people were miserable: "Brother Yunhua, do you have to fight?" "I can't tell." Zhao Qingzhou appeased Su Mengtang and said: "Although the Jin State has negotiated peace with Mongolia on the surface, the number of Jin people in Jiangning has suddenly increased in the past few months, guess why?" Zhang Yunhua and Su Mengtang glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Why? ”

Zhao Qingzhou took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said: "The gold lord Wanyan Shouli is now secretly recruiting militiamen, and wantonly looting the corn stored by the people for military rations. As long as Mengjin is constantly fighting, any of them will not be able to fight against the Great Song. ”

Su Mengtang took a breath of cold air and said: "This is what the book says, Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang." Jin Guo negotiated peace on the surface, but behind the scenes, he was ready to fight again. Zhang Yunhua echoed: "It seems that Mongolia and Jin negotiated peace, and they didn't show much sincerity, so they would be in a place like the gold master" Zhao Qingzhou shook his head lightly and said: "Yunhua, you only know one thing, you don't know the other, I only heard from the official family tonight, and Mengjin's peace talks have been severed." ”
