At the Song Dynasty meeting, Qi Zheng, the secretary of the military department, and Ling Yan, the secretary of the household department, had an endless dispute, and Liu Jing had a headache when he heard it, so he stopped: "The two adults are all for the good of the Song Kingdom, please rest easy." The widow understood, and Lord Qi said that the military salary was not enough, and the household department obviously had silver, but it could not be given in addition to the military salary of previous years. Lord Ling said that although the treasury seemed to be abundant, it was only superficially abundant, but in fact there was no extra money to use as military salaries. Qi Zheng said irritably: "Your Highness, the old minister can't understand Lord Ling's literary words, but the old minister has served in the military department since the reign of King Wu, and whether the military salary is sufficient or not, the old minister will still calculate." What does it mean that Lord Ling dragged on and didn't give it? The old minister has already written many times, if His Royal Highness doesn't make a decision, the soldiers of the three armies of our Song Kingdom will have to cook war horses! Liu Jing sighed: "This matter was not decided immediately, it was a dereliction of duty." Prime Minister Ling Mo said: "Previously, Lord Qi always accused the household department of corruption because of the military salary, and the household department was busy clearing the charges, rectifying and investigating up and down, so that His Highness's attention also shifted to the issue of rectifying the household department. Now that Kyushu is peaceful, governing the country is more important than raising troops, so naturally it cannot be blamed that His Royal Highness failed to observe the salaries of the three armies in time. Qi Zheng crossed his hands on his hips, his face full of displeasure: "Okay, today I won't say that your Ling family brothers are embarrassed and play Tai Chi in front of His Royal Highness, and I don't know how much I have protected the interests of your Ling family!" Today, I will ask His Royal Highness, whether to give or not to pay military salary? If he doesn't give it, the old minister will have no shame to return to the army to face life and death, so he will resign and return to his hometown, and there will be no other words! Without waiting for Liu Jing to speak comfortingly, he only listened to Ling Yan, the head of the household, and said: "Lord Qi, Ling respects you as an official of the three dynasties, but since you are highly respected, you can't spew blood without evidence." The Ling family, who have been honest and loyal from generation to generation, how can they be embarrassed? Liu Jing coughed, and Ling Yan said no more.

Suddenly, there was a moment of tranquility, Liu Jing rubbed his temples, breathed a sigh of relief, and said gently: "Today's court meeting only discusses the issue of military salaries. Lord Ling, the widow knows that no one in the household is corrupt, and he also knows that the Ling family has been loyal and upright for generations. In this case, why did the silver taels, which should have been used as military salaries, disappear? Ling Yan said: "Please forgive Your Highness for being stupid and failing to detect the mystery in time." After many days of investigation and discussion between the ministers and the people of the household department, they finally understood what had happened. It's not just that the military pay is gone...... In fact, the silver coins printed with 'Song coins' have empty shells, but their value has long been ...... Go up in smoke. The eyes that were a little worried suddenly opened, and Liu Jing frowned and asked, "What do you mean by 'the value of which has long been wiped out'?" The treasury is piled up like a mountain of silver, but you tell the widow that the Song coin has an empty shell? Ling Yan knelt in front of the hall when he arrived: "Back to Your Highness, in other words, it is a hundred Wen Song coins, which is not as much as a penny Chu coin that can be bought." Although the treasury is piled up like a mountain of silver, the gold and silver coins with the character 'Song' are far less valuable than the gold and silver coins of Zhao and Chu. Since the beginning of winter, even the wine in Yudu has suddenly ...... The price has multiplied dozens of times. Liu Jing couldn't help but stand up and woke up from a dream: "What? Why is it ...... Become...... This sight? Ling Yan replied: "This probably started from the frequent trade between the Song and Chu countries four years ago. Liu Jing's feet suddenly softened, he sat down on the dragon chair, and muttered: "It's the ...... of Chu again" Ling Yan continued: "Since the Song and Chu trades, the Chu merchants have entered the Song State unimpeded. The goods of Chu Shang are very varied, and the number is also very amazing. At that time, the Song State was at war with the allied forces of the Four Nations, and the internal friction was serious, so they bought a lot of things from the Chu merchants, including salt and grain, weapons, vehicles and ships, cloth, and utensils. Although the grain goods of Chu at that time greatly contributed to the recovery of the Song state, it caused a large amount of Song coins to flow into the Chu state. At that time, the Song coins were tight, and the household department had the royal approval of His Royal Highness, and the Song coins were minted several times to fill the gap. We have always thought that after the Song coins flowed into the Chu State, the Chu State melted down the gold, silver and copper coins printed with the word "Song" and reshaped them, and printed the word "Chu", but we didn't expect that a while ago, Chu merchants suddenly bought a lot in our Song Kingdom, and many materials were bought out, so high prices were frequent. The Chu merchants were extravagant and very refreshing, and they used all the Song coins that flowed into the Chu State that year. For a while, the merchants of the Song Kingdom were happy, but the sudden return of thousands of taels of Song coins to the Song Kingdom was not necessarily a good thing, and now it seems that it has become a disaster! If we hadn't minted coins to fill the gaps back then, the Song State would still be able to accommodate so many Song coins that suddenly emerged from the Chu State. But in one season, the Song coins suddenly became as much as a cow's hair, and they became worthless. Even if the Ministry of Household moved the gold and silver mountains with the word 'Song' to the Ministry of War today, the Ministry of War could not use these Song coins to buy many things, and many things could not even be bought in our Song Kingdom. Qi Zheng frowned when he saw King Song, and immediately pointed to Ling Yan: "What kind of ridiculous excuse are you making up to prevaricate us?" Song Guo has a lot of money, but it is worthless? I don't understand your crooked reasoning! The military salary cannot be delayed for a day, and today it is either you who resign or I resign! Liu Jing looked at Qi Zheng coldly, and said expressionlessly: "The widow understands." This winter is cold, and military salaries really cannot be delayed. Since the Song currency was not used, it temporarily opened a warehouse to release grain, and distributed disaster relief grain and grass nearby in the places where the armies were stationed, so as to prepare for the Song army to spend the winter. As for the official position, if the matter is not resolved, he will resign from the official position, and it is not the work of the eldest husband. The widow is just talking angry. Qi Zheng hesitated: "Your Highness, this food for disaster relief ...... If the harvest is not good in the coming year, if there is a natural disaster......" Liu Jing sighed: "Lord Qi neither farms nor astrology, so there is no need to worry too much, just take care of the grain and grass of the military department this winter." As for the coming year...... The widow is not a god, and the matter of the coming year will be discussed in the next year. Lord Ling, please write down what you just said, about the depreciation of the Song coin, in an accurate number, and do your best to express the widow. It's not too early, and the widow still has to go to see the Queen Mother, and retire from the court. ”…… Liu Jing drank cold wine all night, and heard about this headache at the court meeting, and wanted to go back to the dormitory to make up for sleep after asking his grandmother for peace, but on the road, he caught a glimpse of his mother Qiao Jing without a palace attendant, and hurried to the Jinghe Palace of the Empress Dowager alone, so she also quietly followed, and Ling Fei followed.

Qiao Jing entered the Empress Dowager's dormitory, and the Empress Dowager sent all the doctors and palace people in the dormitory, and the elegant garden outside the dormitory was empty.

Liu Jing hid behind a stout old tree, and when he saw that the last palace person to come out closed the door of the Yayuan, he couldn't help but be very puzzled.

He took advantage of the old tree to climb over the wall and enter the garden. Ling Fei was at the door outside the Yayuan to guard Liu Jing.

The cold wind outside the dormitory was biting, and Liu Jing was about to push the door in, only to hear a weak and hoarse voice from the hall: "You drink a cup of hot tea to warm your stomach, and then talk to the mourning family about what only you and I can listen to." Liu Jing retracted the hand on the door, thinking, what else can there be between grandma and mother?

Empress Dowager Qiao Jing drank hot tea and knelt in front of Empress Dowager Qiao Feng lying on the warm couch. Qiao Feng's voice was weak, but it was majestic: "You promised the mourning family, that incident, the dust is not enough, it has to be brought into the soil." The mourning family is about to enter the ground, but leaving you in this world, the mourning family is still not at ease. Qiao Jing said in a low voice: "Don't worry, the queen mother will not leak half a word." After so many years, the child has not leaked it, and the child will bring that thing into the ground. After a long time, Qiao Feng sighed: "Jing'er is a poor child, and she has no biological father since she was born in her mother's womb. He has been living in a deception, living in the life we have arranged for him. Song Guo can't be without a king for a day, since you and I have deceived him for so many years, we have to deceive him for the rest of my life. Qiao Jing said: "What does that man look like, the child has forgotten, and the child will never mention ...... to anyone in this life."

Before the word "up" came out, Qiao Jing's stomach turned over and over, and she suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood. Liu Jing was shocked, and when he pushed the door in, he saw that his mother had fallen to the ground and was dying.
