"Master, you are so happy today. I wonder what interesting topics you said to Zhao Qi?" After Zhao Qi left, an old man over 60 years old couldn't help but step forward to ask.

This person is Lu Feng, the most trusted aide to Zhao Kui. His courtesy name is Pinyuan. He has been with Zhao Kui for more than 30 years. The two are not too different in age. They are very close to each other and can be regarded as both teachers and friends.

"Haha, Pinyuan is curious, I am also curious. Although this boy is young, his ideas and conversations are extremely common, full of wonderful ideas. I now understand why Wu Yifu is close to him!" Zhao Kui was in a good mood and said with a smile on his snow-white beard.

"If the rumors from the outside world are true, then it will be different. Now that the court is levying taxes more than 100,000 yuan in taxes, the people and merchants are extremely resistant. This son actually donated more than 100,000 yuan to fund Ezhou, and he also raised funds from the people in such a huge momentum. I wonder what the purpose is?"

Zhao Kui was silent for a moment and shook her head slightly.

"Purpose... I'm afraid no one can understand his purpose at the moment, but to resist Mongolia's fundraising, such a large amount of money and enthusiasm for fundraising, we can only use the word "righteous" to evaluate it. Now that the court is in full swing, the Mongolian army is so aggressive, our Song Dynasty is already shaking, and when the country is in danger, if there are more people like Zhao Qi, I think that the news will reach the capital, the government will be very happy!"

"Why didn't the commander submit a memorial to the court for his contributions? This will also show that the commander has the ability to govern the people..."

"Don't Pinyuan still understand me? I've been honored by the officials and I've been at the highest level. Now I've been mostly in the land and have no extravagance. I just have some thoughts about the old land of the Central Plains and the Youyun states. I've been determined to regain my hometown in the north for a lifetime, but I've been lucky enough. After the failure of Duanping to Luo, Your Majesty became increasingly depressed. The court has experienced the chaos and autocracy of the people of Ding Daquan. The civil and military officials in the court have long since lost their fortunes.

Ambition, the Qingyuan Mansion is not what I want at the moment. The court is in chaos. If you give me a memorial, I will not get any benefit, and it will even bring countless troubles to Zhao Qi. He is young and has no foundation. Once he is involved in the court struggle, he is afraid that the consequences will be unpredictable. How can Ding Daquan be easy to meet? There are also officials of Qingyuan Mansion such as Gao Zhinian and Ding Daquan have always colluded. If Zhao Qi was summoned to the capital by the official, he would be afraid that Gao Zhinian would be in the face of Gao Zhinian's wishes..."

"So that's it, but even if you don't report this matter, you're afraid that it will be spread to the capital soon. I'm afraid that Gao Zhinian will secretly add fuel to the fire and get Zhao Qi involved!" Lu Feng said with some concern after understanding it.

"So he begged me something today!" Zhao Kui remembered the previous conversation, and her skin twitched slightly for a few times and became extremely strange.

"I wonder what Zhao Qi wants to be the general?" Lu Feng became even more curious.

"Don't let the officials praise him!"

"Uh~" Lu Feng dazed off a few gray beards, opened his mouth wide for a while and said with a strange face: "This matter is probably not easy. Qingyuan agrees that he is close to the capital. The donation is a big deal. I am afraid that the capital has already known it now, and the official must be worried about the food and wages. How can you not be happy to hear this? It is a good idea to commend it, and it is probably not easy not to praise it!"

"So, I feel a little tricky when he asks me!" Zhao Kui smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"There are many people in the world who seek fame and reputation, but there are very few people who do not seek fame and fortune. Zhao Qi is indeed acting strangely. Perhaps he also knows his current situation and does not want to go to the capital alone and be framed by Gao Zhinian. Since the general values ​​him so much, he still has to find a way to protect him. There are few righteous men among the people. If he is framed for no reason, it would be a pity!"

Lu Feng knew the darkness of the officialdom well, so he naturally saw Zhao Qi's situation more clearly.

"Master General, since Zhao Qi begs you, he must have some of his own ideas. I wonder what he said?"

"He did say it, but I feel a little sorry for him if I do this!" Zhao Kui's face showed a helpless look.

"Why don't the commander tell me about it?"

"He said the court was corrupt. No matter how much the donation was, it would only fund Ezhou. I don't want a penny or a piece of money to be used for other purposes. You also know that the court is in great deficit at the moment and is short of money everywhere. Once these donations of hundreds of thousands of yuan were known by the court, I am afraid the court would not let go. He meant to ask me to submit the court to clarify the matter and ask the court to give a reply..."

"Hiss..." Lu Feng took a breath and said, "I'm afraid that more people will offend him in this way!"

"No, but in this way, the government can't praise him!" Zhao Kui nodded with a strange face.

"Ding Daquan is now in control of the center and the Privy Council. He arranges all the provincial finances. The battle is in full swing, and all the money, grain and taxes are under great pressure. If he doesn't give this huge sum of money, he will probably offend Ding Daquan first!"

"He said he was not afraid of offending Ding Daquan, but he just didn't want to be praised in the capital!"

"Aren't you afraid of offending Ding Daquan? Grand Marshal, he... he really said that?" Lu Feng stared at Zhao Kui in surprise.

"good!"

"What a courage!"

"Haha, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. I was very brave when I was young. This temperament is very suitable for my appetite..." Zhao Kui suddenly laughed happily, and she put her sleeves into the house and said, "I will write a memorial now. Please send it to the capital to the government and submit it to the government. Wu Yifu is really sad in Ezhou now. This military pay is just a gift I gave him before resignation!"

"Master, you may offend a lot of people if you do this!" Lu Feng followed behind and reminded.

"It's okay, I do things, why do you need to look at other people's faces?" Zhao Kui waved his hand indifferently.

...

"Sanniang, Sanniang, the son-in-law is here!"

It was still the same house with chrysanthemums blooming, a little maid in green rushed upstairs and shouted loudly at the beautiful girl who was busy in the room.

"Crack~" The girl shook her hand, and the big scissors in her hand cut out a large hole in the delineated words. Then she didn't care about regret, so she quickly threw down the scissors and stood up and sorted out her clothes and hair in a panic. "Yun'er, is my clothes and hair very messy?"

"It's a bit messy. I've been busy making this banner these days. You have hardly gone downstairs and haven't washed and dressed up for several days!" A close-fitting little maid nodded seriously.

"What should I do then..." The girl was so anxious that she was a little nervous.

"Sanniang is not in a hurry. My son-in-law and Mr. Wu have gone to the study. You can clean up quickly!" The little maid in green clothes quickly comforted her.

"Then hurry up and help me find clothes, take the comb and mirror..."

At the girl's urging, the three little maids quickly got busy, searching for clothes and dressing up. After working for more than ten minutes, they changed their clothes and dressed up neatly. They looked at the mirror with blushing cheeks, and finally directed the three little maids to clean up the entire room carefully, and then Pingtingting walked downstairs with small steps.

Facing the left wing of the embroidery building is Wu Wenying's bedroom and study.

At this time, in the study, two old and young were fighting, their faces were red and their necks were thick.

"Leave this mark for me to play with for a few days..."

"No, what if it breaks?"

"Farting, how can this iron be broken?"

"If you don't have any bad things, you will always lose them. What if you lose them?"

"If I lose my husband's compensation?"

"I'm afraid this seal is the only one in the world. How can you pay for it if your family is so poor?"

"I... What's wrong with me? If I'm poor, I can't play with seals!" Wu Wenying was furious.

Zhao Qi rolled his eyes and said, "It's not that you can't play with it. Just play with some ordinary seals. This is used by the Han Dynasty emperor. There is only one of the black iron seals for thousands of years. This is a national treasure. How can you use it to play?"

"Fuck, what is Wang Mang the emperor of the Han Dynasty? He is just a traitor who usurped the throne. Besides, he has been dead for thousands of years. What's wrong with his seal? What's wrong with it... It's okay if you keep the seal today, but if you keep it, you can't come in and out today..." Wu Wenying held half of the seal tightly and shouted with a beard and stared at her eyes.
