Following.

Waking up from his deep sleep, Zhao Yun felt a headache, his body seemed to be hollowed out, he felt very empty, and he was about to get up but saw a girl curled up beside him, it was Tang An'an.

"Alas. I didn't expect to spend another night here. ”

Blaming himself in his heart, Zhao Yun felt a little guilty in his heart.

As an emperor, the queen who does not accompany him in the palace, but messes around outside this palace, is not good.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, Tang Anan also woke up from his sleep, his pink arms directly wrapped around Zhao Yun's waist, and his slightly raised pretty face also carried a little grievance: "Your Majesty, are you leaving?"

"That's nature. After all, there are still many things that I need to deal with. Zhao Yun replied.

Although the other party is indeed very good-looking, and it has rekindled the desire of men, there are still many things to deal with in the DPRK and China, especially the Northern Expedition is underway, how can they continue to indulge in it?

Tang Anan's eyes dimmed slightly, and then lit up again: "Then Your Majesty must work hard, don't let the ministers down." It's just Your Majesty, don't forget about the cheap maid because of this, okay?"

"Of course. After all, you're so cute, how can I give it up?" Zhao Yun smiled, then took out a jade pendant from his waist, directly put it into Tang An'an's hand, and instructed: "You have to carry this jade pendant with you, don't live up to my expectations." Then he called Dong Songchen, who had been waiting outside for a long time, and left the banquet building together and went to the Qinzheng Palace.

It's getting dark now, and if it's late, it's too late.

Stepping into the Qinzheng Palace, Zhao Yun saw all the ministers gathered here, and when he thought of yesterday's absurd things, he felt a little empty.

"If there is something to report, there is nothing to retreat!"

A sharp voice sounded, and the loyal ministers below began to move.

"Your Highness. He took the lead, but when Zhao Xibo, the secretary of the household department, came out and said loudly: "Because of the Northern Expedition, the treasury of our dynasty is now about to run out, if it continues, I am afraid that I will not wait for the completion of the Northern Expedition, but I am afraid that our dynasty will completely collapse this year." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yun's heart trembled inexplicably, and he secretly said that it was not good.

Sure enough, as he expected, Zhao Xibo's words immediately led out all the words of the ministers.

"Really?"

Because of many military exploits, Li Tingzhi, who has now been promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of War, asked directly.

Zhao Xibo looked worried, and directly closed his head and replied: "General Qiqi, this matter is serious. As he spoke, he took out the account book in his sleeve, and then handed it to Dong Songchen, and complained: "As for the materials in the treasury, all of them are here." I don't dare to hide it in the slightest. ”

Zhao Yun naturally didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly asked Dong Songchen to submit the account books.

After sweeping the above content, he raised his head, looked at Zhao Xibo deadly, and complained: "How come there are only such a small amount of materials in the treasury? You know, at the beginning, he thought that with the reserves of the national treasury, it should be able to support it for a year.

I didn't expect that it would be cut so much in just a few months?

"Your Majesty. If it had been according to what had been predicted, it would have been fine. But do you know that when Xia Gui was on the front line, he was extravagant. I don't know how much he scattered in the morning, how much can I support like this?" Zhao Xibo replied angrily.

He was opposed to the Northern Expedition from the beginning, for no other reason, and the consumption of materials was too great.

The Red Phoenix Army relied on the train transportation, and in one year, all the reserves of five or six years were emptied, but they had to conquer a territory no less than their own, and they didn't know how much they would have to pay.

"If that's the case, what does Aiqing think?"

Zhao Yun fell silent, his eyes scrutinized, and he looked at the two Aiqing in front of him.

Li Tingzhi persuaded: "Your Majesty, according to what the minister said. The Northern Expedition should be suspended. ”

"But Aiqing. You also know the current progress of the Northern Expedition, and now that it has invaded the Shandong area, you only need to annihilate the enemy army entrenched in Jinan Prefecture, and the Northern Expedition plan can be successful. Wouldn't it be a pity to retreat like this?" Zhao Yun replied.

For a long time, Zhao Yun has always been thinking about returning to his homeland, which has become his heart disease.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yun is a little refusal, and he does not want to give up the Northern Expedition.

That Zhao Xibo's face was slightly angry, but he stepped forward and shouted directly: "But Your Majesty." If the Northern Expedition is allowed to continue, what will happen to the Manchu ministers? What about the people of our court? Don't forget that there is not much money left in the treasury now, and if all of it is consumed, what will happen if something else happens at that time?"

His remarks also aroused the worries of the ministers.

"In order to defeat the Mongol invasion before, our dynasty has already exhausted its strength, how can we still have the strength to carry out the Northern Expedition now?"

"And in recent years, there have been repeated internal turmoil in the DPRK and China. If there is no money, if those people rashly start a rebellion, we are afraid that it will be difficult to extinguish it. ”

"The people are already suffering, if we continue like this, I am afraid that my dynasty will collapse, and I ask Your Majesty to be merciful. ”

“......”

As soon as many words were indicted, Zhao Yun felt a great headache, but he regretted it in his heart.

If he hadn't asked Na Jia to leave Beijing, how could he have caused such a scene?

Zhao Yun understood in his heart that at the moment, these ministers were clearly taking advantage of Jia Rudao's absence, so they joined forces together, planning to force the palace once and completely control the power of the DPRK, as for the so-called depletion of the treasury, I am afraid that it is just a gimmick created by the other party.

As the emperor, Zhao Yun has long been full of distrust of the minister.

"I also know your Aiqing's worries! But Aiqing must also know that changing generals on the spot is really a taboo for soldiers. If Jia Nidao is removed at this time, I am afraid that the other party will take this opportunity to completely drive us out of the Central Plains. At that time, I am afraid that the Northern Expedition will also fail. Isn't it?" Zhao Yun was unwilling to compromise on this, and still insisted on his beliefs.

He felt that he was already old and began to be unable to do anything, so he wanted to take advantage of this time to complete a lot of things, so that his descendants could feel at ease!

"It's up to Your Majesty to decide, and we are only here to be worried. Li Tingzhi took a step back and was unwilling to continue the investigation.

But Zhao Xibo still insisted on seeing it a few times, and said, "Your Majesty." This matter is very important, so how can we continue to delay? According to what the minister said, Jia Yidao should be removed as soon as possible, so that he will not continue to advance and destroy the foundation of our dynasty at that time. Your Majesty, don't forget, only by ensuring the well-being of the people under your rule can you ensure the stability of my Great Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Xibo is a member of the clan, so he attaches great importance to the safety of the Great Song Dynasty, and now he feels angry when he sees that Zhao Yun is still stubborn.

Zhao Yun's eyes were red, and he asked directly, "Zhao Shangshu, what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty. Don't you know? Najia seems to be a virtuous minister, but he has obtained His Majesty's favor by relying on the method of promoting weaving, and now he can enter the hall and enter the prime minister, doesn't it make the people of the world laugh?" Zhao Xibo also lost his temper, and he actually got into trouble with Zhao Yun directly.

He has always been dissatisfied with Najia Rudao, after all, this person has not done anything since he became the prime minister, but he just relied on some eloquence to coax Zhao Yun to be happy, and as a result, he has so much power?

Today, Najia seems to be absent from Lin'an, but it is time for him to completely defeat the other party.

Zhao Yun still felt displeased, but felt that the other party meant something, so he directly retorted: "Based on what you said, don't you blame Your Majesty for not knowing anyone?"

"No, Your Majesty. It's just that His Majesty is in the palace, and he can't help but be deceived by traitorous ministers. We naturally have the obligation to remind Your Majesty not to be victimized by traitorous ministers. That guy is just a promoter, what can he do?" Zhao Xibo continued, and then his voice changed, but he meant something: "And if it weren't for that guy, how could Your Majesty stay outside the palace and be mixed with Tang An'an in that banquet building, if it spreads, how will others think of Your Majesty?"

"You-"

Zhao Yun's eyes suddenly turned red, and he felt as if he had been stripped naked and exposed directly in front of everyone's eyes.

Li Tingzhi also felt bad, and hurriedly interjected: "Zhao Shangshu, this matter is just a rumor, how can you talk nonsense here and tarnish His Highness's reputation in vain?"

Zhao Yun was grateful in his heart and glanced at Li Tingzhi.

But Zhao Xibo looked mocking, but took out a piece of jade pendant from his hand, and snorted lightly: "Rumors? Yesterday, I saw Your Majesty stepping into the banquet building, and I gave this jade pendant to Tang An'an. Wei Ang's head was already a little displeased, but he directly provoked: "Your Majesty, do you remember this jade pendant?"

"This jade pendant?"

Zhao Yun felt that his cheeks were red, the jade pendant was clearly given to Tang An'an by him, who would have thought that it would fall into Zhao Xibo now.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to punish Jia Nidao and terminate the Northern Expedition. ”

Immediately behind Zhao Xibo, those ministers also stepped out one after another, all of them shouted loudly, and only a few people in the entire team stood on the side and did not participate in it.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to punish Jia Nidao and terminate the Northern Expedition. ”

Everyone shouted in unison, making Zhao Yun's face extremely red, although he wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, he also understood that even if he was against it, if these ministers were united, even if he was the emperor, he would still be helpless.

"The stakes are high, and I will leave it for later. Retreat!"

Not interested in continuing to stay in this court, Zhao Yun brushed his sleeves and left the table again, today's events have already happened too many times, and Zhao Yun is used to it.

The ministers had no choice but to disperse, but what happened today remained in everyone's hearts, and they began to be worried.

What happened today is destined to be a storm.
