Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 165 tacit understanding
Officials from the southeast will naturally not give up on this, they are giving up their roots!
Those who do not give up still ask the court to send troops.

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

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

……

But obviously, Zhao Duan was already a little bored, so he said directly: "Send troops, send troops, where does the court get the money and food to send troops? You call to send troops as soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip. Supplement or something, who will solve it for me?
After the battle is over, do you still need money to appreciate the merits?Then who will solve these problems? ! ? "

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

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

Zhao Duan waved his hand and flatly rejected his request.

All the officials from the southeast immediately showed despair on their faces.

But Zhang He's eyes suddenly brightened.

Tax money in one place is used in one place!
He heard the overtones in Brother Song's words.

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

Does that mean that as long as there is enough tax money in the southeast, the imperial court can send troops.

As for the source of tax money, he has already thought of a way, which is to let the gentry and powerful people from the four southeastern counties join in.

Collect enough tax money owed, only in this way will His Majesty dispatch troops to the southeast to suppress the rebellion.

But then Zhang He smiled wryly again.

silver!silver!
In the final analysis, it was all about money. Before, they did everything possible to not pay taxes to the imperial court, but now when the imperial court really needs to contribute, because there is no money, the imperial court refuses to help you at all.

Now now I am waiting for others, but I have to obediently make up for the money I owe!

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

What a waste of effort!
Immediately, Zhang He cupped his hands again and played forward: "Your Majesty remembered that there should be a tax payment that has not been delivered to the southeast this year!"

His words immediately made the officials in the hall feel puzzled.

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

The next tax collection will have to wait until autumn.

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

Zhao Duan looked leisurely and said:
"Oh? There's another one? Maybe the Ministry of Household Affairs missed the calculation, so let's wait until the tax money arrives. There is no rush to suppress the rebellion, and nothing major will happen!"

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

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

If not, then since you are not in a hurry, why should I be so anxious?
Zhang He actually understood the meaning of what the Holy Spirit said.

Dang even cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the four counties in the southeast have always respected the imperial court and will definitely not disappoint His Majesty!"

Zhao Duan just curled his lips and smiled, and then he gave a slight signal to the ceremonial officer below, and the ceremonial officer announced that the next department in sequence would start working.

The next thing went very smoothly, basically nothing major, after a cutscene, soon the morning court almost came to an end.

Seeing that everything has been said almost, Zhao Duan suddenly declared: "Yun Wang Zhao Jun!"

Zhao Jun, who was in a daze thinking about when it would be his turn, was brought back to his senses by this call.

Immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "The minister is here!"

Emperor Song nodded slightly to Cao Shuang who was next to him, and soon the imperial decree for bestowing marriage, which he had heard once in Zhao Jun, Yunzhou County, was read again.

After the end, Zhao Jun immediately raised his hands to receive the imperial decree, and said:

"I thank you, Your Majesty!"

Song Dian nodded slightly again, and at the same time exhorted:

"Ye Aiqing is the only daughter. Now that I am offering you a marriage, you must treat Miss Ye well. Otherwise, let alone Ye Aiqing refuses to follow me, I will never forgive you. Do you remember?"

The previous words were spoken by the emperor to his courtiers, and Zhao Jun always called himself a courtier, but now he is exhorting him as his father, so Zhao Jun said:
"I'm sorry, my son! Please don't worry, father, please rest assured, Ye Jiedu, I will definitely treat Miss Ye family kindly, and never let her suffer any grievances!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Jundang bowed deeply to Emperor Song first, then got up and looked at the father-in-law Ye Wei, and bowed deeply again.

Ye Wei actually didn't want to accept this gift very much, but the marriage was a foregone conclusion, and the other party was still a feudal lord of the country, so he still accepted the gift due to emotion and reason, and cupped his hands to express the gift back.

Emperor Song was very happy to see this scene and laughed loudly: "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 hit him directly. In the future, King Yun will also I count you as half my son!"

Ye Wei just cupped his hands and responded with a stern face: "I dare not!"

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

So far, today's early court is over. After asking the officials for instructions, Emperor Song said that he would not sit in the Chang Dynasty of Wende Hall today, and Prime Minister Zhang He immediately agreed.

He got up and went to the Wende Hall to inform him about it. So far, the morning court is officially over, and it will take about an hour.

The officials of Chuigong Hall and 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 was about to go forward, but was stopped by someone.

"His Royal Highness King Yun!"

Zhao Jun paused, and turned around, it turned out that Cao Shuang called him back.

Zhao Jun still respected this popular person beside his own emperor Lao Tzu, cupped his hands and immediately asked, "So it's Eunuch Cao. I don't know why Eunuch is looking for this king?"

However, Cao Shuang shook his head and said, "It's not the servants who are looking for you, it's His Majesty who ordered you to meet at Funing Palace and let the servants come to pick you up."

Zhao Jun understood, nodded and said, "Then there will be Mr. Lao!"

"Where where..."

The two then headed towards Funing Palace.

Passing through the attic and palace all the way, the two finally came to Funing Palace.

Looking at this strange hall in front of him, Zhao Jun felt 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 hadn't been announced before, as if Emperor Song had deliberately avoided him.

This also made it clear to everyone that he, the sixth prince, was not favored!
And being unfavored in the palace means being bullied!

Fortunately, he was a prince who was raised under the empress's name, and he was often taken care of when he was young, which allowed him to grow up with no worries about food and clothing, and finally went out to become a feudal clan.

For the queen mother and son, he is grateful in his heart, even if he knows how happy the queen is when she finds out that she is going to die, he is still grateful to the nominal mother, at least he let himself take care of herself. grown up.

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

Cao Shuang, who had gone to report earlier, came back just after he had collected his emotions.

"Lord Yun, His Majesty announces you to enter."

"it is good!"

The two immediately stepped into the Funing Palace.
