"Where do you mean by the official family?" Zhu Lian took a breath and said calmly, "I know that the late emperor was the queen who passed the throne to you, but was outraged. In theory, he should have tied himself up to the official family to apologize. How could he dare to resist the heavenly soldiers by insisting on resisting?"

Zhao Kai glanced at Zhu Lian, thought about her self-bound and apologizing, and then smiled and said, "My sister-in-law is so kind to me, even if she has a blunder, I will not pursue it. I will avoid it if I apologize."

While saying this, he thought: He wanted to tie himself up and apologize, just ask for fun in the palace. It would be better to apologize publicly.

As the two of them spoke, they had already entered the Daqing Palace.

Daqing Hall is the main hall of Jinling Imperial City, and it is the place where the ceremony is held. It is majestic and magnificent, and it looks even more spectacular than the Daqing Hall in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Zhao Kai and Zhu Lian entered the Daqing Hall side by side. After entering the hall, Zhao Kai, who was still wearing armor, walked towards the high imperial throne, and then went up with a big golden sword. Zhu Lian stood beside the imperial throne, and there was a chair behind her, but she did not sit down.

Zhao Kai saw her standing and hurriedly said to her with a smile: "Sister-in-law, hurry up and sit on the queen, and you can sit on the dragon bed with me!"

Sitting on the dragon bed with you? Zhu Lian blushed again when he said it, but he did not sit down. Instead, he smiled and said to Zhao Kai: "The official family must also worship the officials of the Wu Kingdom, and also return the household registration of the southeast seventh route to show surrender. After the ceremony, it will not be too late to sit down."

Zhao Kai was not here to attack Wu, so Wu did not have to surrender to him, but it was necessary to return the document because Wu had been "destroyed"!

Zhu Lian's son Zhao Song attacked the King of Wu, not the King of Wu, only the king and no country.

"Then it's going to be a blessing for my sister-in-law." Zhao Kai couldn't stop smiling.

At this time, all the officials of the Wu Kingdom who stayed in Jinling, the Northern Song Dynasty officials who came south with Zhao Kai, as well as Zhao Kai's brothers and Zhao Huan's two older sons, all had entered the hall and stood separately.

The officials brought by Zhao Kai and his brothers stood on both sides of the hall. These people did not participate in the "rewarding of the rituals of the Wu officials." Zhao Huan's two sons and officials of the Wu Kingdom stood in the middle of the hall, waiting to give Zhao Kai a big gift.

An eunuch from the Palace of Wu had already placed a map and a scroll in a plate with a symbolic version and handed it to Zhu Lian. Zhu Lian took the plate, faced everyone, raised the plate high, and shouted: "You guys, listen, this is the map of the Lianghuai, Liangjiang, Liangzhe, Fujian and other seven roads of the Wu Kingdom in the Great Song Dynasty, and the household registration of the people, and the current Japanese palace will return it to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. My Great Song Dynasty, Wu Kingdom, has been eliminated here. From today on, you will be the emperor's ministers. You must abide by the minister's integrity and act in a down-to-earth manner!"

After saying this, Zhu Lian turned around, then thrust his knees on his knees, held up the tray, and walked to Zhao Kai, "The official family, the 7th Road version of Wu Kingdom is here, please accept it."

As soon as she finished speaking, the civil and military officials of the Wu Kingdom in the palace also knelt down together and said in unison: "Please accept it from the official!"

Zhao Kai quickly bent down, reached out to take the tray, and handed it to Yu Yunwen, a Hanlin scholar beside him for collection. Then he stretched out his hands and held Zhu Lian's arm, said, "Sister-in-law, please get up", and gently helped her up. Then he pointed to the chair next to him and smiled, "Sister-in-law, please sit down."

Zhu Lian was not polite either. After thanking him, he sat down on the chair.

Zhao Kai then said to the Wu officials who were kneeling below: "Get up!"

The people below immediately got up from the ground, then stood respectfully, waiting for Zhao Kai to say something.

Zhao Kai smiled and said, "I understand the great righteousness of Empress Jingkang and the Lords, which has saved the prosperous areas in the southeast from the war and saved the prosperous era of our Song Dynasty! You and Empress Jingkang have made great contributions. I will never treat the meritorious officials unfairly!"

As he spoke, Zhao Kai smiled at Zhu Lian again, and then said, "And my sister-in-law, Empress Jingkang, has raised 30 million yuan of wealth for me so that I can reward the three armies and the civilians who are accompanying the army, so that I can't be grateful for this!"

Zhu Lian handed over the complete Jinling City to Zhao Kai, of course he was kind to Zhao Kai, but she raised 30 million yuan in wealth for Zhao Kai, which further showed her strength.

This is not only a good sister-in-law, but also a capable sister-in-law, so you must cherish it!

Thirty million yuan is really a huge sum of money for Zhao Kai, the lord of the world! His court's wealth last year was only 178 million yuan, but Zhu Lian could raise 30 million yuan for Zhao Kai in a very short time!

This 30 million was not taken out of the official warehouse of Jinling City or the stake warehouse of King Wu, but was raised by Zhu Lian through the money business in Jinling City. This shows that the financial industry in Jinling City is quite strong, while Zhu Lian controls the financial industry in Jinling City!

What surprised Zhao Kai even more was that Zhu Lian didn’t need Zhao Kai to repay this huge sum of money, and his sister-in-law was really rich!

"These are all things that I should do, why should the official thank you?" Zhu Lian said with a smile, "And not all the money I took out. Jinling's various industries have a deep sense of the kindness of the official family and is willing to use it for the country. This is because the official family is virtuous!"

She said that was correct, Zhao Kai could put it on the robber! And he could also get it on the neck of the profiteering businessman to ask for money. Didn’t he do that in the north? The group of local tyrants and evil gentry in the north can be compared with most profiteering businessmen in the southeast!

What did Zhao Kai look like?

He could do this, but he didn't do this. Instead, he inspired everyone's loyalty, righteousness and patriotism through Zhu Lian's kind words, and asked everyone to "lent" money to the court and give "interest-free and life-free" loans. This is virtue!

Of course, the reason why these Southeast profiteers were willing to give money to Zhu Lian was because Zhao Kai praised Zhu Lian very well and had no other affection for her uncle and sister-in-law!

Secondly, because Zhu Lian is a member of their circle, she knows whoever you have money and who have no money!

So don’t toast or not to eat a penalty!

Zhao Kai is not an insider in the business and financial industry in the Southeast. He has no way to attack these people accurately. He can only kill a large area and kill people indiscriminately. This way of doing it can also make money, but it is to kill chickens and get eggs, not a long-term solution.

So Zhao Kai really needs Zhu Lian, the good sister-in-law, to get money from the pockets of the Southeast business gentry, for him.
