After Zhao Yun heard this, he thought about it for a while, then stood up, walked to the map, looked at the locations of Jiang Hai, Meng Gong, Cao Youwen, Du Gao and others, and fell into thinking.
Although they now occupy a large territory, it is still insignificant compared to the entire Jin Kingdom.
After looking at the map for a while, Zhao Yun said: "The Qing family will come with me for a walk outside."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The monarch and his ministers went outside, followed by Gao Shi, several small Huangmen and palace maids.
Walking along the garden path, Zhao Yun said as he walked: "I set a goal for this battle at the beginning of the war. It is a limited war to improve morale and boost the morale of the army. Now the goal has been achieved. As long as the Jin Kingdom pays compensation, it will be
However, it doesn’t matter whether we cede the land or not.
But there is one thing you must insist on doing, that is, when our army retreats, if there are people who are willing to follow, the Jin Kingdom cannot stop it."
Now more than 100,000 people have joined the Song Army camp. If the Song Army does not take them away, the fate that awaits these people will be miserable. None of them will survive. Such tragedies have happened before in history.
During the Longxing Northern Expedition, the Song army crossed the Huaihe River in an attempt to regain lost territory. At that time, many local people actively supported it.
But later the Northern Expedition failed and the Song army withdrew. All these people were liquidated and entire villages were executed. More than 100,000 people were killed!
Such a thing is unacceptable to Zhao Yun.
As for ceding land, this is not what Zhao Yun is concerned about now. In Zhao Yun's plan, the Jin Kingdom will belong to him sooner or later. It does not make much sense to cede the land or not.
Moreover, even if the territory is ceded, you still have to send troops to defend it. This stronghold is no more than an enclave and can be easily wiped out. It can be described as a thankless task.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely facilitate this matter."
Zhao Yun gave Gou Mengyu the final answer, and Gou Mengyu immediately became more confident and looked excited.
Zhao Yun glanced at Gou Mengyu with satisfaction, said a few words to him, and then let him go.
After Gou Mengyu left, Zhao Yun sat alone on the stone bench in the garden, thinking about the future.
The next day, Zhao Yun got up early, finished his breakfast, ate half full, and went to Cining Hall as usual.
Zhao Yun never delayed a day in paying his respects to Empress Dowager Yang. This fact made it impossible for anyone to fault him.
Then Zhao Yun went to the Cixiang Hall, where his mother, Zhao Quanshi, took Zhao Yun's hand and said: "Son, your brother and the young lady from the teacher's family are in love. Mother wants you to come forward to propose marriage to your brother. Your father
Without me, my mother can't handle this kind of thing, so I have to rely on you."
Zhao Yun was very happy after hearing this and said: "Mom, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by my son. My brother is now the King of Honor. It is necessary to have a decent wedding. You don't have to do anything. You can just wait and drink your wife's tea with peace of mind."
that is."
"Okay, okay."
There were tears in Zhao Quanshi's eyes. She was so happy that one of the two major things was finally completed.
Returning to Funing Hall, Zhao Yun was in a good mood and ordered Ge Hong, the minister of the Ministry of Annunciations. Soon, Ge Hong came.
"I wonder what your Majesty has to do when you summon me?" Ge Hong raised his hand and asked carefully.
Zhao Yun said: "My brother Rong Wang is in love with the daughter of a teacher. I want to hold a wedding for him. Please arrange this matter with the etiquette department. How much money is needed will go to my private treasury."
Ge Hong was stunned for a moment, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this thing seems,,,seems,,,"
Seeing him hesitating, Zhao Yun couldn't help but ask: "Why, is this matter difficult to handle?"
"It's not difficult to handle. This matter is easy for the Ministry of Rites."
"Then why does the Qing family look so embarrassed?"
"this,,,"
"If you have anything to say, tell me directly, and I will forgive your guilt."
Ge Hong had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, when marrying a wife, there is a chronological order of seniority. As the elder brother, Your Majesty is not yet married, so how can you expect your younger brother to take the lead? The people are all talkative women. If Prince Rong gets married before Your Majesty,
, I’m afraid these people will talk nonsense again, and I don’t know what they will say at that time.”
Zhao Yun smiled slightly and said calmly: "Qing family, remember, you just have to be yourself for the rest of your life. Your life is for yourself, not for others. If it is because of a few trivial words from insignificant people,
, just make your life a mess, such a person will never have everything he wants in his life."
After saying that, Zhao Yun waved his hand and told Ge Hong to just prepare and not worry about anything else. Ge Hong had no choice but to do so and retire.
Gao Shi brought snacks, and Zhao Yun ate a piece. It tasted good. He nodded and praised, and said to Gao Shi, "The snacks are well made. I will give ten guan to each of the snack masters. I will also give one to my mother and the Queen Mother."
, by the way, each member of the political affairs hall also has a copy."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward, on behalf of the dim sum master."
Gao Shi respectfully agreed and then went to make arrangements.
After a while, Nie Chi, a member of Zhongshushe, brought a large number of memorials for Zhao Yun to read.
Zhao Yun took his time and began to review the memorial.
Today's memorials were mostly about small daily things, nothing special, and Zhao Yun was in a very happy mood.
"Your Majesty, Chen Guiyi and Envoy Chen would like to see you." A small yellow gate came in to report.
"pass."
Zhao Yun continued to review without raising his head.
"I have met Your Majesty." Chen Guiyi arrived in front of Zhao Yun and raised his hands in salute respectfully.
Zhao Yun raised his eyes and smiled, "The Qing family is exempt from courtesy and you come to see me so early. What do you want from the Qing family?"
Chen Guiyi took out an account book from his sleeve, held it in both hands, and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of grain storage in the warehouse has been clearly identified. This is the list of people involved in the case. Please take a look at it."
Now that Chen Guiyi was acting in charge of Lin'an government affairs, he had a lot of power, so he immediately launched a secret investigation. With his efforts, he finally achieved results.
Xiao Huangmen stepped forward to take the memorial and handed it to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun opened it and saw that it listed the names of many officials in detail, as well as when they allocated the grain to go out of the warehouse, but failed to return it in time. How did they steal the new grain in the warehouse and replace it with old grain and sell it?
Making profits involves many big businessmen.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but frown, and a murderous look appeared on his body. Zhao Yun said: "Have the officials above confirmed the crime, or are they just suspicious?"
Chen Guiyi said: "Reporting to your majesty, I persuaded several people, and they told me exactly the criminal acts of many officials. I then secretly investigated and recorded them.
However, due to the age, there is no direct evidence of the accounts, and only those few people can serve as witnesses. Because His Majesty has a decree, the matter cannot be investigated publicly, so I have not interrogated the people involved in the case. Therefore, in addition to the witnesses,
