Officials from the southeast will naturally not give up, that is giving up their roots!

Those who do not give up still beg the court to send troops.

"Your Majesty, the southeast must not be lost!"

"Your Majesty, the imperial court can't just give up the southeast!"

……

But obviously, Zhao Duan was already a little bored, and said directly: "Send troops and send troops, where will the court get the money and food to send troops?" As soon as your upper lip touched your lower lip, you shouted to send troops, so who will solve the logistics and food of these hundreds of thousands of troops, the supplies along the way, or something?

After the battle, do you still need money to appreciate the merits? So who is going to solve these problems?!? ”

"Your Majesty, the merchant ...... of Lingyue"

"The tax money of one place is used in one place, and the people of Lingyue have worked hard to pay taxes to the imperial court, and the imperial court must give priority to ensuring their safety first!"

Zhao Duan waved his hand and categorically rejected his request.

A group of officials from the southeast immediately showed despair on their faces.

Zhang He's eyes suddenly lit up.

One land tax silver for one land!

He heard the overtones in Brother Song's words.

That is, it is okay to counter the rebellion, but now there is no money, and the money you give is not enough.

Does that mean that as long as the tax and silver in the southeast are sufficient, then the imperial court can send troops.

And the source of tax silver, he has already thought of a way, that is, to let the gentry and powerful people in the four southeastern counties make up.

Scrape together enough tax money owed, and only then will His Majesty send troops to the southeast to quell the rebellion.

But then Zhang He smiled bitterly again.

Silver! Silver!

In the final analysis, it's all a matter of silver, before doing everything possible not to pay taxes to the court, but now when you really want the court to contribute, but because there is no silver, the court refuses to help you at all.

Now I have to obediently make up for the money I owe!

This is really impermanent, the large intestine contains the small intestine!

Do your work for nothing!

Immediately, Zhang He once again arched his hand forward and said, "Your Majesty once remembered that there should be a sum of tax silver in the southeast this year that has not been delivered!" ”

His words suddenly made the ministers in the palace feel confused.

It's been this month now, hasn't the tax money that should have been sent already here?

The next tax collection will not be until the fall.

But Zhao Duan, who was sitting on the throne, had a glint in his eyes, knowing that the prime minister understood what he meant.

Seeing Zhao Duan's expression, he said leisurely:

"Oh? And one more? That may be the household department's omission, so let's wait for this tax to arrive, let's see, the counterinsurgency is not urgent, and there is nothing big about it! ”

The meaning of Emperor Song's words is obvious, that is, you can pay taxes, but I want to see if this tax is enough, if it is not enough, then I have to think about the rebellion.

If it is enough, then it is natural to send troops to quell the rebellion.

If it's not enough, then since you're not in a hurry, why should I be in a hurry?

Zhang He actually understood the meaning of the saint's words.

When he arched his hand, he said: "Rest assured, the four southeastern counties have always respected the imperial court, and they will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Duan just pouted and smiled, and then gestured to the ceremonial officer below, and the ceremonial official announced that he would start the work in the next department in order.

The next thing went very well, basically nothing serious, after a cutscene, and soon the morning dynasty was almost at the end.

Seeing that everything was almost said, Zhao Duan suddenly preached: "Cloud King Zhao Jun! ”

Zhao Jun, who was in a daze and wondered when it would be his turn, was called back to his senses.

immediately stepped forward and said, "The minister is here!" ”

Emperor Song nodded slightly and gestured to Cao Shuang next to him, and soon the marriage decree that Zhao Jun had already heard once in Yunzhou County that day was read again.

After it was over, Zhao Jun immediately raised his hands and took the holy decree, and said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Song Dian bowed his head slightly, and at the same time opened his mouth and said:

"Ye Aiqing is just this one daughter, now that I am married to you, you must treat Miss Ye well, otherwise don't say that Ye Aiqing does not follow, I will definitely not spare you, can you remember?"

The previous words were said by the emperor to his courtiers, and Zhao Jun called himself a minister, but now he told him as a father, so Zhao Jun said:

"Erchen Province! Please rest assured that my father and emperor and Ye Jiedu will rest assured that my son will definitely treat Miss Ye family well and never let her suffer the slightest grievance! ”

After speaking, Zhao Jundang bowed deeply to Emperor Song first, and then got up and looked at the old man Ye Wei, and bowed deeply again.

Ye Wei actually didn't want to accept this gift, but the marriage was a foregone conclusion, and the other party was still the vassal king of the dynasty, so he still accepted this hundred, and arched his hand to show that he returned the gift.

Emperor Song was very happy when he saw this scene and laughed: "Ye Aiqing, from now on, you and I will be in-laws, if there is anything wrong with this kid in the future, you don't have to worry about me, just beat me directly, and King Yun will be half your son in the future!" ”

Ye Wei just responded with a straight face: "Don't dare!" ”

Emperor Song didn't care, anyway, his goal had been achieved, so naturally he wouldn't care about Ye Wei's little awkwardness.

At this point, today's early dynasty is over, after the official of the ceremony asked for instructions, Emperor Song said that today will not sit in the Wende Hall of the Chang Dynasty, Prime Minister Zhang He immediately understood.

got up and took the lead to go to the Wende Hall on the side to inform about the matter, so far this morning is the official end of the dynasty, and it will take about an hour.

The hundred officials of the Vertical Arch Hall and the Wende Hall began to retreat in an orderly manner, and Zhao Jun was also about to leave, and he happened to see the old man who was walking out quickly, and he was about to step forward, but he was stopped by someone when he went.

"His Royal Highness the Cloud King!"

Zhao Jun paused, turned around, and it turned out that it was Cao Shuang who stopped him.

Zhao Jun still gave a certain amount of respect to this celebrity beside his emperor Lao Tzu, arched his hand and immediately asked: "It turned out to be Gonggong Cao, I don't know what happened to my father-in-law looking for this king?" ”

Cao Shuang shook his head and said, "It's not the slave and maid looking for you, it's Your Majesty who announced that you would go to Funing Palace to meet and let the slave and maid pick you up." ”

Zhao Jun understood, nodded and said, "Then there will be Father-in-law Lao!" ”

"Where, Where, ......"

The two then headed towards Funing Palace.

All the way through the attic hall, the two finally came to Funing Palace.

Looking at the unfamiliar hall in front of him, Zhao Jun's heart was a little complicated, Funing Palace was the emperor's bedroom, and the princes had been here more or less when they were young, but he was the only exception, he had never been announced since he was a child, just like Emperor Song deliberately avoided him.

This also makes it clear to everyone that he, the sixth prince, is not favored!

And not being favored in the palace means being bullied!

Fortunately, he was raised under the name of the queen, and the prince took care of him when he was young, so he grew up without worrying about food and clothing, and finally went out to become a vassal.

For the queen's mother and son, he was grateful in his heart, even if he knew how happy the queen was when she learned that she was going to be a vassal he was still grateful to this nominal mother, at least he let himself grow up well.

But for this father, Zhao Jun's mood is very complicated, or strange.

Just packed up his emotions, Cao Shuang, who went to report in front of him, came back.

"Lord Yun, Your Majesty declares you in."

"Good!"

The two immediately stepped into the Funing Palace.
