In fact, Zhao Kai has always loved this concubine very much in his heart, and no matter what she does, he rarely says a word to her, but now he is worried about state affairs, it turns out that when Zhao Chen proposed the deadline, Zhao Kai still didn't think so. But three days ago, Li Quan led 15,000 men and horses to surrender to Zhao Chen, and the Guangde army was also surrendered to Zhao Chen, leading Zhao Kai to be very angry, so he hurriedly discussed with Zong Tianxuan, and now the Jin army has withdrawn from the army, and intends to concentrate all the men and horses to attack Jiankang Mansion.

It happened that Zhao Wanru brought up the old things again, which naturally made Zhao Kai's heart extremely unhappy, so he couldn't help but say a few words to her, but seeing tears rolling in her eyes, she couldn't help but soften her heart, and said in a harmonious voice: "Wanru, don't be angry, my brother is not good just now, you shouldn't be like that." ”

Zhao Wanru's heart was sour, she threw herself into Zhao Kai's arms, and cried: "Brother, I am Dan You." Now the tenth brother is not the tenth brother. ”

Zhao Kai gently held her shoulder and said, "My brother knows that you are a brother in my heart, so I came to persuade my brother." Don't worry, how could my brother not be able to beat Zhao Chen? In fact, you have been deceived by them. ”

Zhao Wanru was stunned, wiped her tears, and said, "I was deceived?" ”

Zhao Kai smiled: "Of course I was deceived, probably because Zhao Chen knew that he was not my brother's opponent, and he was reluctant to give up the throne, so he came up with such a way, first deliberately exaggerated to scare you, let you worry for your brother, and then lied to you to persuade your brother to surrender to him, thinking that in this way my brother would fall into their trap." ”

Zhao Wanru's eyes widened and said, "Does my brother really think like this?" ”

Zhao Kai laughed and said, "Of course, I won't fall for them." In a few days, I will personally lead the army to attack Jiankang, and in less than a month, I will capture Jiankang, and at that time, my brother will be the veritable Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Wanru stared at Zhao Kai as if she had never known him. suddenly understood Zhao Qianru's words: "The current Deng Wang Yijing was confused by the virtual image in front of him, and he would not stop until the mountains and rivers were exhausted." ”

After Zhao Wanru left, Zhao Kai sighed softly, and sometimes he didn't know what to do for his only sister. At this time, an attendant came to Zhao Kai's side and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Wang and Lord Xu ask to meet." ”

Zhao Kai unconsciously felt a sense of boredom in his heart, and suddenly felt that this emperor didn't seem to be so easy to be. After entering Lin'an and ascending to the throne, the excitement gradually subsided, but then the various affairs that needed to be dealt with increased significantly several times. Every day, he had to go to the court to listen to the reports of the ministers, and after returning to the palace, he could not rest, because every day there would be a large stack of chapters that he, the emperor, needed to review. It is often necessary to be busy until the shift before the work can be over. Don't laugh at Fengyue's leisure like in the past, and hurriedly have no time to think about the next game of chess.

Sometimes Zhao Kai can't help but think that he only has three roads now, and there are so many political affairs to deal with, so if he unifies the Great Song Dynasty in the future, won't he exhaust himself as an emperor to death? So if you regain the lost ground, aren't you afraid you will blow up your bones?

If it's just a lot of government affairs, it's not a big deal, and what's more serious is that now the Lin'an Mansion Imperial Court is in ruins, and many of them are insufficient.

In fact, one of the richest areas in the Song Dynasty should not have been underused. However, the Jin army invaded the south, and the imperial court moved most of the money and grain in the treasury during its westward tour. The rest that couldn't be moved was also burned clean. After the Jin army occupied Lin'an, because of the need to collect grain and grass materials on the spot, they had to fight the idea of those rich households, and requisitioned most of their family wealth, and when they withdrew, they searched again, and even the ordinary people did not let go, and almost all the surplus grain and money were included. Now there is no food, no money, and no use in the entire Liangzhejiang Road.

In the past, when Zhao Kai occupied the five counties of Fujian, because the place under his control was small, there were only tens of thousands of people, and there were only forty or fifty officials, and Fujian was not plundered by the Jin army, so it could still be maintained by relying on the local treasury savings and taxes. But now the area under Zhao Kai's jurisdiction has expanded to three roads, the army is close to 200,000, and there are more than 200 officials under him, the army has to rely on armor and weapons, and the officials have to take the money, plus now Zhao Kai is the emperor, everything is carried out according to the standards of the palace, plus the officials at all levels at the bottom can not care about anything else, they still eat and take cards, they should be greedy, they should be greedy, and they should be blinded, so the expenses are increased by more than ten times. But now Zhao Kai's court seems to lack everything except for a large number of officials who can wait for him.

In the past, Zhao Kai had never worried about money when he was the prince, but now he has taken out all the property he has accumulated over the years to fill the hole, but in the face of the huge financial hole now, it is just a tea cart, to no avail. And Zong Tianxuan is not proficient in financial management, so he can't think of any good way. And the people of Liangzhejiang Road were looted by the Jin people, and it was impossible to collect taxes.

Every day when Zhao Kai went to court and listened to the reports of officials, most of them reached out to ask for money. But the imperial court couldn't think of a way to bind it, and the household department in charge of money was originally fat, but in the Lin'an court, it became a disaster that everyone avoided, and in less than a month, there were three household books who resigned, and until now, this position has been vacant.

And the people can't manage so much, although when Zhao Kai entered Lin'an, they all shouted long live to him, but they must also survive, many people in Lin'an City have run out of food, and the beggars in the streets and alleys are increasing day by day, and there are more and more robberies, fights and other incidents. Every day makes Zhao Kai anxious.

Sometimes Zhao Kai even wondered if it was a mistake for him to want to compete for the throne in the first place. If time went back to the past, would I still be so keen on this position?

And this time he sent troops to attack Jiankang, Zhao Kai decided to drive the expedition in person, and there was another reason why he did not export. That is the day when it is almost the end of the month, and it is going to be given to officials. But now that the treasury is completely empty, there is no copper money and grain, and there is not even a horse of silk (color cloth) left, so what will be given to the officials when the time comes? Therefore, Zhao Kai had no choice but to take advantage of the royal drive and avoid it.

However, Zhao Kai knew that because of the vast area of the Jiankang Mansion and the rich customs revenue of Sichuan Fourth Road and Guangdong City, the treasury was sufficient and the food and salary were complete. This also made Zhao Kai envious, Zhao Chen's kid was not bad, so many places would willingly obey him. However, as long as the Jiankang Army is defeated and Zhao Chen is captured alive, all problems can be solved.

Time passed day by day, and July 20 was soon here.

At this moment, the Jiankang Mansion suddenly issued a letter in the article to change the previous title, directly calling Zhao Kai a rebellious minister, and listing Zhao Kai's twelve major crimes. On the occasion of the invasion of the Jin army, he tried to cut off the king and split the rebellious ministers and thieves of the Great Song Dynasty, and everyone could get it and punish him. He also pointed the spearhead at Tianji Palace, claiming that Zong Tianxuan and others were originally remnants of Manichaeism, pretending to be in the name of Tianji Palace to deceive the world, and Zhao Kai colluded with the remnants of Manichaeism.

In addition, there are also testimonies of Zhao Cao and Suzaku, the remnants of the Manichaean Sect who surrendered to Jiankang Mansion, and Li Quan, an old minister of Zhao Kai, to prove the facts of the text. You have to have a nose and eyes. This also means that the two sides of Jiankang and Lin'an, after a complete breakoff, can only use force.

After everyone in Tianji Palace saw this article, they were immediately so angry that they exploded, Xie Qingfeng slapped the table and shouted: "Yang Yan, this bastard, is simply too deceitful, dare to defile us for no reason, if I catch him, see if I don't tear him apart." ”

Liu Bofang also said: "Yes, is it tolerable or unbearable, I didn't expect Yang Yan to be such a despicable villain, who is unscrupulous and reverses black and white." We must not let him go this time. ”

The younger generation of disciples was even more enthusiastic, and many of them advocated that they should immediately attack Jiankang Mansion and capture Yang Yan alive. Zong Tianxuan said to Hua Qingtan: "Master, the disciple thinks that we must no longer sit idly by, and the disciple plans to go to the emperor immediately and ask him to immediately issue an order to send troops to attack Jiankang Mansion." ”

Xie Qingfeng also said: "Yes, yes, this time we will also fight together to see how capable Yang Yan is." Then he turned to Hua Qingtan and said, "Palace Master, what do you think?" ”

Hua Qingtan sank slightly, and also knew that a battle between the Lin'an Imperial Court and the Jiankang Imperial Court was inevitable, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Tianxuan, you can go to see the emperor." ”

Zong Tianxuan agreed and hurriedly went. And the others were still immersed in anger at Yang Yan, some gritted their teeth, some beat their chests, and some rubbed their fists, all of which were different, only Ye Muxue sat in a corner, silent. Since Tianji Palace decided to continue to hand over Zhao Kai, Ye Muxue has become very silent and does not express an opinion on anything.

Hua Qingtan's heart moved, and he dismissed all the disciples, leaving Ye Muxue alone.

After everyone left, Hua Qingtan said, "Mu Xue, are you still worried about this matter?" ”

Ye Muxue said: "This is a decision made by the master, the uncle and the uncle, how dare the disciple be angry?" The disciple died not as much as he used to be, but he was just worrying about the fate of the palace. I am afraid that the foundation of this palace for hundreds of years will be ruined. ”

Hua Qingtan sighed, remembering Yang Yan's confident and firm expression when he spoke to him that day, and said: "Now that it is irreversible, the fate of this palace can only be gambled." And this time you go to war, you don't have to go with the army, just stay in Lin'an and accompany you as a teacher. ”
