Song State.

In court.

All the ministers were upset!

"You must not agree to Li Yan's conditions!"

"If the two thousand imperial schools were given to Li Yan and the government established the imperial schools, it would be considered as a wedding dress for Li Yan!"

"If Li Yan got so many military supplies, the Anton Protectorate would be even more difficult to control!"

“…”

After a mess below for a while, Zhao Ji said, "Silent!"

After hearing Zhao Ji's voice, the lower part gradually became quiet.

Zhao Ji said to Cai You, "Cai Aiqing, please tell me."

Cai You looked up at the clamoring ministers, and then said, "I heard that many prefectures and counties in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangxi were occupied by the bandits of Fang La, radiating half of our Song Dynasty. When the bandits saw the officials, their methods were cruel and horrifying. The two friends Tian Hu and Wang Qing were even more abominable. They were almost threatening our Tokyo Bianliang. They might attack our capital one day. Don't let the 50 million coins I have worked hard to get from the Anton Protectorate. Please come up with a statute of raising money."

As soon as Cai You said this, the court suddenly became silent. Not only that, there was no one who dared to raise his head!

After a while, Li Bangyan, the right chief of the Shangshu, said, "Li Yan only took out 17 million silos of gold, silver and copper coins, and the rest were paid with glass, soap, antique calligraphy and paintings, which was a big deal..."

Cai You said, "Li Shangshu is a romantic person. Don't you know how popular glass and soap are? Moreover, Li Yan is at 70% of the market price. This price does not require you to go to other places. You can sell it in one or two months in Tokyo."

After hearing this, Li Bang-jin said, "If it is only 70% of the market price, it would be reasonable... Antiques, calligraphy and paintings have always been difficult to sell. How can you sell them at a high price when you are in a hurry?"

Cai You said, "Shu Li should know the value of "The Goddess of Luo River", "The Five Ox Pictures", and "Ping'an Tie"?"

Li Bang-chan said, "If these are all genuine works, they are priceless treasures and cannot be measured by money."

Cai You said, "Li Yan priced "The Goddess of Luo River" by 600,000 guan, "The Five Ox Picture" by 450,000 guan, and "Ping'an Tie" by 450,000 guan. Li Yan also said that during the transaction, we can send someone to him to verify the authenticity of these antique calligraphy and paintings."

Li Bangyu shook his head and said, "This Li Yan is really a waste of resources. These priceless treasures can be priced, and they can set such a low price. Tsk tsk!", and then said, "Although it is a bit troublesome to sell, if it is all this price, it is not difficult for this batch of antique cultural relics to be discounted."

Zheng Juzhong, the official of the Privy Council, said, "It's okay for others, Zongze, Li Gang, Li Guang, Zhang Xiaochun, Zhang Shuye, Tang Chong, Zhan Du, Chen Go, and Zhao Li, they must not give to Li Yan. They are the cornerstones of our Song Dynasty. If we give these people to Li Yan, our Song Dynasty will be able to wipe out Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La, and it will be difficult to survive."

After hearing Zheng Juzhong's words, Zhao Ji's face suddenly sank!

Not long ago, Wang Fu was appointed as prime minister by Zhao Ji by Tongjian Doctor, which was unprecedented since the founding of the Song Dynasty. In addition, Zhao Ji gave Wang Fu the mansion west of the city on the day he moved, taking the joy of the ritual as the leader, all the things needed were taken from the government, and he was the person who was most favored by Zhao Ji at the moment.

Therefore, Wang Fu deserves Zhao Ji's favor. Seeing that Zhao Ji's face sank, Wang Fu immediately set out and said, "Our Song Dynasty has a wealth of wealth and talent, and it is so powerful that it is difficult to survive if only a few people are missing. Lord Zheng is a little alarmist, right?"

Zheng Juzhong was unhappy!

Wang Fu had a good relationship with Zheng Juzhong in private. He didn't want to please Zhao Ji, but Wang Fu actually opened fire at him Zheng Juzhong!

Zheng Juzhong said, "There are many people in our Song Dynasty, but fewer and fewer people dare to tell the truth. If all of them are given to Li Yan, then the court will probably be full of praise."

Liang Shicheng said, "Mr. Zheng is careful, who dares not tell the truth? If you don't tell others, what Liang said is always the truth!"

As soon as Liang Shicheng said this, someone immediately agreed

"That's right, all the things that I'm saying are true!"

"But not only those who keep the officials in a hurry can shine on the sun and the moon, but we also have a strong heart!"

"Everyone can survive without the Song Dynasty, and the only thing that cannot be separated from is the official family!"

“…”

Zheng Juzhong said angrily, "How can there be a complete egg under the collapse of the nest? Are you sure you will drive all these loyal ministers out of the court. Can we keep this country?"

Before anyone else could speak, Zhao Ji shouted, "Bold!"

Zheng Juzhong usually catered to Zhao Ji, otherwise he would not have been able to serve as the Privy Council. The Dazai was successively granted the title of Duke Chong, Duke Su, and Duke Yan.

(I have to say here that although Zhao Ji is stupid, his ability to control the situation is still very good. This is not difficult to see from the rise and fall of Cai Jing.)

But even the flattering Zheng Juzhong couldn't help but persuade, "The government cannot be without loyal ministers, otherwise you may become an emperor who can't see or hear anything."

After saying that, Zheng Juzhong bowed to the ground, neither saying nor saying anything.

Zhao Ji is not stupid.

He immediately realized that Zheng Juzhong said this was right.

If he becomes a deaf and blind man, he will be completely undermined. How can he become this emperor at that time?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji rarely had a wise reply, saying, "Zong Ze, Li Gang, Li Guang, Zhang Xiaochun, Zhang Shuye, Tang Chong, Zhan Du, Chen Go, Zhao Li, I cannot give Li Yan... Li Gang, Li Guang returned to Beijing to serve, pardon Zong Ze, and ordered Zong Ze to supervise Zhenjiang liquor tax first, observe and use, Zhang Xiaochun, Zhang Shuye, Tang Chong, Zhan Du, Chen Go, and Zhao Lizhuo rewarded him."

To be fair, Li Yan miscalculated and asked Zong Ze and others to do what he wanted, but instead made Zhao Ji pay attention to them and thus fulfill them.

Tong Guan went out and said, "Liu Wei, Wang Bing is a general of the Western Army. After Liu Fa's death, Liu Bing acted as the commander and could not leave at all. This time, Tian Hu, Wang Qing, Fang La, and Wei Chen was preparing to let Wang Bing command the commander all the way, so they could not give Li Yan. Liu Qi was the son of Liu Zhongwu, the governor of the Luchuan Army. He was good at shooting arrows. Once, the water tank at the entrance of the camp was filled with water. Liu Qi shot an arrow into the water tank, and pulled out the arrow tank and poured out the water in the tank. Liu Qi then shot an arrow and plugged the original arrow hole. Duandu was a talent that could be cultivated. As for Zhang Shou and others, although their positions were low, they were all brave and good at fighting..."

Cai You could no longer listen and said, "I don't give it to you, and I can't bear to leave you. Then don't ask Li Yan for money to send troops to wait for Tian Hu and Wang Qing's bandits to invade Tokyo. Fang La will completely occupy the southeast."

Seeing that Cai You was quitting, his friend Wang Fu quickly advised, "Mr. Cai calmed down, Li Yan must let us bargain, right? I don't think so. Since the official has opened Jinkou, Zong Ze, Li Gang, Li Guang, Zhang Xiaochun, Zhang Shuye, Tang Chong, Zhan Du, Chen Go, Zhao Li designated that it cannot be given to Li Yan. Since Tong Taishi said Liu Wei, Wang Bing, Liu Qi..."

Cai You said, "Liu Qi was asked by Li Yan. Li Yan once said that if he didn't give him Liu Qi, Zhao Kai and those lower-level generals, he would have no money."

Some ministers wanted to condemn Li Yan's treacherous slander, and Wang Fu took the lead and said, "My million soldiers in the Song Dynasty are not short of one Liu Qi and some lower-level generals." Then he said, "The students of the Tai can recruit again, military supplies can be accumulated slowly, and keel bones can be found again. There are still craftsmen and boatmen who can get together. Now the most urgent task is to quell the civil strife, otherwise there will be a major disaster. As for Li Yan... we can talk about it slowly."

No one who can stand in the court is a simple person. How could they not understand what Wang Fu meant was that all these conditions could be agreed to Li Yan? Let’s overcome the current difficulties first. As for Li Yan, we can settle the score with him slowly when we can make a living.
