"Brother-in-law, you are really, why are you so polite, this is also your home, can't you just come in?"

Lingzhi hurriedly beckoned everyone into the house and instructed the servants to cook breakfast.

"Brother-in-law, when I heard He Qiu say those things about you, it worries me to death, and you go back to see your sister, she's getting thinner and thinner day by day......"

She has endless thoughts.

"What? I just arrived in Jinling, so you won't let me stay for one night? Song Che said with a smile.

Lingzhi smiled and said, "It's okay to stay for one night, but you have to go back tomorrow, and no matter what, you have to report your safety, so that my sister can rest assured." ”

As she was beckoning, a woman who looked like a nurse ran over with a crying baby in her arms, "Madam, I cried when I didn't see your young master at a glance." ”

Lingzhi wanted to hug it, but Song Che took the first step, "Let me come, let me come." ”

He hugged the baby, shook it, coaxed it, not only did not stop crying, but cried brighter.

"Alas, you are so rough, the wind is more than a year old, where can you still be like holding a baby?" Ning Yehong snatched the baby from Song Che's hand, pulled her face, patted her back, and quickly stopped crying.

Song Che smiled bitterly: "I'm ashamed to say it, I can command thousands of troops and horses with ease, but I can't handle a little doll at this time." ”

Lingzhi smiled: "If it weren't for you to guide thousands of troops, there would be no peaceful life for our women and children, wouldn't it?" ”

Between the chats, the breakfast was ready, and everyone moved to the dining room to eat a hot bite.

"He Qiu, isn't he in the house?" Song Che asked.

A trace of loneliness flashed in Lingzhi's eyes, and she inadvertently hugged her son in her arms tighter, she shook her head: "Since the restoration of Emperor Taishang, he hasn't been home for almost a month, and he lives in Zhongshu Province on weekdays, and it's ......so difficult to see him."

"The court situation is in chaos, and as the head of a hundred officials, he is naturally busy with official business, so you have to understand more."

Song Che swallowed the rice porridge in one bite and put down the dishes and chopsticks, "I'm going to go to the palace and bring He Qiu back by the way." ”

"Hey, brother-in-law, family affairs are no better than the affairs of the world, you don't have to embarrass him."

"It's worthy of the prime minister's wife, and the pattern has become a lot bigger."

"That's ...... Someone, prepare a car for my brother-in-law! ”

……

The carriage staggered to the entrance of the palace.

Song Che opened the curtain slightly, and showed his face to the guards, who immediately gave way and welcomed the carriage into the palace.

"Sir, there is the Xuanzheng Hall in front. Xiao also drove Xiangye into the palace on weekdays, but he stopped in the front hall, and it was the first time that he was so close to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

The servant brought a stool to welcome Song Che out of the car.

Song Che glanced at the Xuanzheng Palace, how many heroes and heroes have bent over this majestic building with carved railings and jade?

Listen to the guards, now the palace has to go to the 'big two small' three times a day, the early dynasty is the largest, the civil and military officials must be present, the afternoon dynasty is second, the fourth grade or more are obtained, and the evening dynasty is the last, and the second grade or more is required to be qualified to enter the palace.

Song Che erected a crown of hair, straightened his collar, and strode towards the Xuanzheng Palace.

After three hundred steps, he reached the outside of the temple.

"Mr. Song!"

A black-armored guard with a knife who was about thirty years old and waiting outside the hall stepped forward in surprise.

Song Che glanced at him up and down, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Commander Lin!" ”

Lin Dong!

Previously sent the princess of Ningguo out of the fortress, she was ambushed on the snowfield, and Lin Dong led more than 100 cavalry forbidden army to cushion, he ...... It's still alive!

"Commander Lin, you ...... You ......" Song Che hugged Lin Dong's arm, this is a big hero, if it weren't for him, maybe they would have died under Dijon's pursuers.

Lin Tong does not smile on weekdays, but when he sees the old man again, his eyes are also ruddy, "That day, I stayed with my brothers to block Dijon's pursuers, and I was involved while attacking, Xu is life should not be ended, suddenly a snowstorm blew, I and several brothers escaped from death, and later met General Jiang led the army to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and listened to what he said that this plan to drive out the Tartars was planned by Mr. Song...... If you can come today, sir, the chaos will hopefully be resolved! I...... I'm going to break into the palace and inform Your Majesty!" ”

"Hey!" Song Che pulled him back and pointed to the saber on his waist, "You dare to bring a knife into the hall, you are not afraid of being punished by the Nine Clans?" ”

"And I'm howling?"

"No need, I'm not an official of the imperial court, so I don't need such a big show, I just walk in by myself."

When Song Che came to the door of the main hall, he heard the emperor's scolding:

"Talk! Talk! Talk! What's the use of talking? Luoyang has been captured by the Western Liang Army, and the next one is Bianjing! Do these wolves, tigers and leopards seem to be people who are willing to negotiate peace? ”

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, we should pay close attention to recruiting troops, replenish the defense capability of Bianjing, and occupy the Xiliang army in the Central Plains!"

"At the beginning of the Western Expedition to the Hu Tribe, the treasury was already empty, and there was a big drought in autumn today, and the autumn harvest was not as good as half of previous years, where is the money to recruit troops?"

"Your Majesty, among the old ministers, the conscription system should be abolished immediately, and the conscription system should be used instead, where there are two men in a family of four, one of them must be sent out to enlist in the army, so that the team can be quickly pulled up, and besides, the rich merchants and landlords in the south are everywhere, scrape them a layer of oil, and the military budget will naturally be enough!"

"No, it is not necessary to forcibly arrest people to serve as soldiers, which will cause public indignation, and those wealthy gentry with big families are very famous in the local area, and forcibly confiscating their assets is not forcing them...... Alas! In short, South Korea, your proposal is absolutely impossible! ”

"Why not! Now that the water is about to flood to the neck, as the people of Daliang, you should have the consciousness of being loyal to the monarch and defending the country! In the area of Suzhou and Hangzhou, since the opening of the sea ban, the merchants there have all made a lot of money, but these opportunities are all thanks to His Majesty's gifts, and now the country is in trouble, why don't they help? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, don't you forget the sworn brother surnamed Song, Weichen has heard that the 'world bank' he opened is more abundant than the national treasury...... The whole world is not the king's land, everything in the world belongs to His Majesty, and it is common sense to use these money to defend against the enemy! ”

"Presumptuous! Now that Brother Song is suffering in the northwest, what is the intention of you to beat your siblings! ”

"Your Majesty, it is his honor to call you a brother, even if it is a monarch or a minister, and he should help you in terms of brotherhood...... Now that the Central Plains is in a hurry, Your Majesty must not hesitate any longer. ”

"Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer!"

Listening to the self-proclaimed "old minister", you will know which old fox it is, and most of the people who sing and harmonize with him are his henchmen.

"Han Zhang, listening to your tone, do you want to raid Song's house?"

Song Che walked into the main hall with a cold voice.
