The pond surrounding the Yichun Hall in winter is already covered under the ice and snow, so that the buildings isolated in it show a bit of bleakness and loneliness.

And the presence of His Majesty the Emperor here also made it a little more lively.

From afar, the aroma of wine and food has been faintly heard.

The eunuch who accompanied Zhao Shi confessed, walked away, and went to the palace to reply to the decree.

Zhao Shi came to the Yichun Palace, stopped and stood, waiting for the summons inside, looking around at the plausible surrounding scenes.

When I came here that day, the encounter after that was not very pleasant, Emperor Jing's ambition gradually faded, his suspicion became heavier, and he was accompanied by the disgusting Wang Hu.

Although Shen Cairen was amazing, in his eyes, it was just like that.

A feast, not to mention chewing wax, but always be careful, what makes him even angrier is Emperor Jing's teasing, the little bit of monarchy and courtiership that was formed back then, there is not much left in the years of intrigues, and in the end he still turned against him.

Zhao Shi squinted his eyes and looked at the building in front of him, his mood slightly agitated.

"Chuan Xingguo Gong enters to see the driving ......"

The voice came from the hall, Zhao Shi collected his mood and stepped into the palace gate.

It's still the old hall, there is no feeling of being vacant for a long time, but there are fewer people than when Emperor Jing came that day, even if the emperor came here, I didn't see much excitement here.

In the main hall on the first floor of the Yichun Palace, the banquet has been set up, and there are not many people waiting on the side. There was no one to accompany him. His Majesty Emperor Chengwu was already sitting upright. Wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, the emperor's clothes are not lacking, and he looks very solemn.

After Zhao Shi came in, he glanced at it slightly, and knew that His Majesty the Emperor had probably just returned from the next dynasty.

Solemnly thanking him, Emperor Chengwu smiled, waved his hand and said, "Aiqing doesn't have to be formal, just sit down." Today, we will have a few more drinks with me, but we still have to talk well. ”

Zhao Shi was led to the seat and sat down, it was indeed a lot easier, and he couldn't help but smile when he heard the words: "This Yichun palace minister has been here once, and after listening to the wine banquet set up by His Majesty here, the minister was trembling in his heart, just accompany His Majesty to drink more, and it is good to suppress the shock." ”

Emperor Chengwu laughed when he heard this. No one knows the story of the day better than him. Many people have entered the urn, no matter what Zhao Shi said, or anything else, they don't have to take it to heart now, and they are even more inexplicably proud in their hearts.

said on his lips: "I'm afraid there are not many things in this world that can make Aiqing's heart frightened...... Don't worry, there is neither Wang Hu nor Shen Cairen here, let's just drink and talk, and no one will come to trouble you and me. ”

What do you say...... Even Zhao Shi grinned secretly, but he was still comfortable when he heard it.

"Come, for the peace of today, and for the grand hegemony of the future, drink and win."

The two of them raised their glasses and drank them all, both with joy in their hearts.

After a few more jokes, Emperor Chengwu smiled and said, "How can you rest these days?" I've given you a lot of time, haven't I? ”

Zhao Shi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There are many people who come to the door, where can I really be idle, the minister is not good at socializing, and he doesn't hide it from His Majesty, and the minister hasn't had much rest these days." ”

"Work hard, I've been living like this, Aiqing is now my humerus, if it's too idle, I can't say it, right?"

"Your Majesty laughed, when the world is peaceful, there should be a day of leisure."

"Aiqing's ambition, I have always known it, but, according to what Aiqing said back then, if the world is to be peaceful, it is still early, and I don't know if our monarchs and ministers can wait until that day......"

Speaking of this, Emperor Chengwu shook his head and laughed at himself, "Don't talk about this, come, taste this...... These are all delicacies carefully prepared by the imperial chef in the palace, which are much stronger than those in Aiqing's mansion, Aiqing has now entered the title of the Duke of the Kingdom, even for the sake of the face of the court, it can't be too shabby, right? ”

"Besides, you have the reputation of being rich in this house, and you don't need to keep your money, what is the reason?"

There was a sour smell in these words, but the atmosphere was getting more and more relaxed, there was no one else on his side, and Emperor Chengwu was also very willing to put down the imperial majesty and get closer to this humerus minister.

Zhao Shi didn't have much awe here, and he relaxed when he spoke, "There is more and more wealth in the minister's mansion, and it is indeed not much use...... The accounts in the minister's mansion are all weighing, how much silver will have to be taken out next year as a field endowment, and His Majesty's reward cannot be bought and sold without authorization, so if it goes on like this, it will not take many years, and the assets in the minister's mansion will all be in the hands of His Majesty. ”

Emperor Chengwu couldn't help laughing when he heard it, but then his eyes lit up, which seemed to be a good idea......

However, I immediately thought that if the ministers of the DPRK and China were unable to support it because of too many acres of land, and gradually lost the palace, the scene of tattered clothes, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, if such a means of collecting money were used, the treasury would be safe, but it would be too undecent.

"My reward is so useful, but I never thought that Ai Qingguo is very human...... However, most of the wealth in your house is just word of mouth, exaggeration, how many important things are to be decided here, how can I calculate those, if this is heard by others, it is allowed to say that our monarchs and ministers are stingy, this reputation is ugly, and live, live, drink and drink. ”

The two of them drank a cup of wine, and this time Zhao Shi took the lead in saying: "If you want to say that the assets in the minister's mansion are mostly given by the king of Guiyi, and the minister is also worthy of it, and the king of Guiyi was born recklessly, and he has never paid attention to the rules, and the minister is afraid that he will one day get the offerings to the palace to the minister's mansion, and the minister thinks about it, 6 Continue to the eldest princess's mansion, if there is a shortage in the inner treasury, but it is not without a lack of supplements, especially the queen mother's ......"

"Over the years, the ministers have suffered the benefits of the Empress Dowager's mother, and they have long wanted to reciprocate, but there is a difference between inside and outside, even if they have a heart, but they are also limited by the regulations of the imperial court, and they can't do their best...... I don't know what your majesty wants? ”

This is the meaning of building a small treasury for His Majesty the Emperor, and such a comprehensive idea will naturally not come from Zhao Shi, but from a few staff members in the palace, and he just took this opportunity to put it forward.

The smile on Emperor Chengwu's face gradually faded, and he frowned and thought for a long time, taking the things of his subordinates and supplementing the needs of the palace, which not only damaged the dignity of His Majesty the Emperor, but also did not benefit His subordinates, and it was even more troublesome to spread it.

But Zhao Shi is different from others, not only is he a relative, but also has an unusual connection with the emperor's majesty and the princess's mansion, and he thinks about it very carefully.

Over the years in the palace, it has been really tight, and the silver taels of the inner library have been spent on the construction of the palace for Emperor Jing, and several drafts, the flowers are expensive, and when he ascends the throne as the emperor, all the forces of Daqin are preparing for the war, and the inner library can't take care of it.

As a result, the amount of money in the palace has been reduced again and again, and now it is more than half less than the last years of Emperor Jing's dynasty.

For the sake of meritorious deeds, His Majesty the Emperor has definitely paid no less than those foreign ministers, and then there is the queen mother's side......

After a long silence, His Majesty the Emperor finally raised his head, raised his wine glass, and said solemnly: "Aiqing has this intention, I won't say anything, between our monarchs and ministers, the coming day will be long, Qing is to me, like branches and leaves to trees, I am the support, Qing is the branches, as long as we work together, we will be able to cover the sky in the future, lush in the world, and at that time, I will live up to Yu Qing." ”

Zhao Shi raised his glass and said, "At that time, maybe Your Majesty should also make a small building in the palace and draw some portraits to hang up, isn't it another Lingyan Pavilion?" ”

"If we can really get to that day, it will not hurt to pick up people's teeth."

The two of them laughed at the same time, and drank all the wine in the cup, full of pride, but between their hearts, there was a little more tacit understanding.

After that, the monarch and the ministers spoke, and there was a lot less restraint, when it came to the matter of the Li Mansion, Zhao Shi did not shy away from it, and Emperor Chengwu listened to it, and there was not much strange meaning, Li Pu was a civil minister in the end, and when it came to martial affairs, he still had to listen to the generals in the end.

However, his opinion is not insignificant, with the support of Li Pu, the same subordinate of Pingzhangshi, and the general Zhao Shiyi, the battle of Vaxia is almost a foregone conclusion, and it is General Heluo Zhang's side, how to appease, but it still takes some thought.

This is already the top priority of Daqin next year, and after that, it is not possible to make a decision, there are still a lot of preparations, a war to destroy the country, no matter before or after, there are too many things that need to be done.

Even Zhao Shi has no bottom in his heart, and his previous preparations are nothing, just say that he has conquered a large territory of Western Xia, how to arrange the aftermath, how much military strength will be damaged, and what impact it will have on the battle of the Central Plains, it is not easy to say now.

In addition to this major event, in fact, the atmosphere of this palace banquet has always been very relaxed, more like gossip of monarchs and ministers, without much focus, where to go.

Compared with when Emperor Jing was there, the changes were not a little bit......

Most of the things asked by His Majesty the Emperor were trivial, and Zhao Shi was also very casual when answering, and there was almost no intrigue between the monarch and the minister......

However, when it came, His Majesty the Emperor still gave Zhao Shi a problem......

(Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a like, there is something to do tonight, it may be later, please be patient.) (To be continued......)
