, "….. This account book is really as you said? Bai Ning would have no doubts, and the account book is lost?"

"That man originally defected to Dongchang... and the Hangzhou city gate was opened by the other party, so he had a lot of complaints about Bai Ning's reward, so it should not be fake."

"Hangzhou city gate... I remember it was opened by Lin Chi and Luan Tingyu in Dongchang. When will there be a third person? Cough cough!"

"But the old minister thinks what this person said should be true."

“How is it true…”

"The man's face and hands were eroded by the poison powder on the account book, and he was seriously injured. If the man's wife had not understood the poison, she would have been dead at this time and the account book would not fall into the old minister. I guess the Dongchang side also felt that this person would die, so she did not continue to pursue the matter."

"…This matter is of great importance, let me think about it."

"Your Majesty, now is a good time to eradicate the East Factory. At the beginning of the next spring, there will be any trouble in the north, so this matter can only be put down again and again."

In Yanfu Palace, the lights on the bronze lamppost were burning in the palace, and the wind and snow were whistling outside. On the dragon bed, Zhao Ji was wrapped in half of the cushion and half leaning. He spoke to Cai Jing with you and I said one word. With Zhao Ji's temperament, even when he had such thoughts in his heart, he naturally had many concerns. Moreover, he had many years of emotions with the person on the other side. Although he was ruthless, the emperor was also a mortal. Cai Jing, the lower-level, did not have so many concerns. In the whole country, he had half of his disciples and old officials. He had walked a lot of roads, so he naturally knew when to be in a dark hand and when to support his colleagues to attack foreign enemies.

Zhao Ji put down the medicine bowl and frowned: "I know everything is very nervous, but Cai Qing should also know my difficulties. Xiao Ningzi has known me for many years. It is not easy to let me rule the world in the face of threats. Even though I have thought a lot before, I still feel a little reluctant to do it..."

Afterwards, his eyes looked at the closed window, "... Even if this account book is true, Cai Xiang was so anxious, but he was not afraid of the people from the East Factory being anxious? You must know that Bai Ning is not as good as Wei Zhongxian or Helian Ruxin. I know the strength of his hands better than anyone else. Now that the wings are spread out, the entire Bianliang will be covered in it."

"Then you have to eliminate it even more, otherwise it will not be too big in the future. Besides, Your Majesty treats Bai Ning so well, it will be considered as the righteousness of the righteousness. As long as Your Majesty has a decree, there will be tens of thousands of troops in the city, and people from all over the world will respond to Your Majesty's call. After all, Bai Ning has many enemies over the years, and his men. Once he stands opposite His Majesty, how many people will remain unshakable?"

Cai Jing, who was at the foot of the stairs, stopped, Zhao Ji on the couch over there, also looked at him, his eyes became darker, obviously some words still came to his heart, but at the moment he didn't know what to do, looking at the dark medicine residue, he waved his hand: "...I know, as long as my order is my, the East Factory will not survive, but the connection is very wide. I said I should consider it before, that is, on this... Cough cough... Where did the money and food for raising the army come from? What should those big merchants do when they are dealt with? Catch a group of people and kill a group of people? What should the generals who accept money and food should not only do one or two, and they must be in the north, where wars are there. If they pursue it, what would they do? If they surrender to the Jurchens, they will be the ones who will be injured in the end."

Although Cai Jing suddenly came over with the account book and said that the Dongchang raising the army had a great impact on him, after so many storms, he did not make crazy moves after he had been hot. Now he was considering more comprehensively, and Zhao Ji was extremely calm about how to deal with this matter.

"Since Your Majesty has an idea in his mind, the old minister will say something more." Cai Jing also vaguely noticed the changes that Zhao Ji had begun to change in recent times, and became more calm and sharp. Before he could do it, his words could still arouse the anger of the other party. After a moment, he remembered something and stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body. Recently, he found that Your Majesty has been coughing constantly, which is undesirable, otherwise the aggravation of the disease will not be good for the country."

"It's okay...Doctor An said that I was frightened before and the seasons changed, causing typhoid fever to enter the body. When the spring begins next year, my body will naturally get better." Zhao Ji replied, and then changed his posture and leaned against him.

"Doctor An said this naturally, there is no problem." Cai Jing stroked his beard, "But the old minister heard that healed his injuries and his body would be damaged. Even if he recovered from the illness, his health would be indebted. The old minister once heard that the Taoist priests in Lingyi Mountain in the south were very good at refining elixirs. Your Majesty might as well send someone to inform the mountain gate there to refine a few pairs of health-care medicines for the official family, and give birth to a few more princes to stabilize the country."

Zhao Ji became interested and sat up: "Those Taoists are so smart?"

"It's not fake. Lingyi Mountain has been founded for more than 100 years. It is well-known in the south and southwest areas. The father of the old minister also asked for some medicine for his mother on this mountain, so the old minister dared to use it as a guarantee."

"It's so good. Cai Xiang took some people to leave the Beijing Mountain, but the premise is to be careful and don't ask others to know about the fact that I sent someone up the mountain to ask for medicine. Otherwise, those censors would come to submit a memorial and say a lot of nonsense, which would be annoying." Zhao Ji lowered his voice, as if he was a little worried that others would know.

Cai Jing was stunned for a moment, but still bowed his hand, saying that he knew what to do. The fire in the copper furnace was a little weak, and a palace servant came in with a small shovel of charcoal, added firewood, and then retreated. There was a crackling sound in the bedroom. After a while, the two of them discussed the matter of the north on the mission to Jin Kingdom to discuss redeem Yan Yun.

Finally, I probably set the time in the middle of this month, and found a better weather to ask the envoys to the north. Later, Cai Jing bid farewell to the emperor and came out of Yanfu Palace, and snow was still floating in the sky.

"Next year should be a good sign..." The old man muttered to himself, twisting his silver beard, and then got on the carriage.

December 11th.

The sky was bright and the snow stopped.

A convoy guarded by several carriages and hundreds of soldiers left the city gate and headed north. At the same time, the flying pigeons flapped their wings and flew into the nearby foothills under the cold winter. Someone took off the letter paper and opened it to look at it. A pair of Yin and Yang fish frowned between their eyebrows.

The tiger-headed hammer was carried on his shoulders and shouted a sentence to hide in the mountains and forests behind him: "...The thief of Tongjin has appeared, let's rob them."
