Shi Miyuan wanted to know who was on the list of officials in the memorials submitted by Ye Qing to Zhao Kuo. As for the so-called Tokyo Imperial Army commander and other generals at all levels, Shi Miyuan had no intention of knowing from the very beginning.

After all, the northern land is the base camp for Ye Qing. Since Ye Qing was born in the army, the Tokyo Imperial Army formed by Ye Qing himself was difficult for him, Shi Miyuan to intervene.

But before they left Qinzheng Hall, Zhao Kuo did not publish the list of Ye Qing's memorials to the public. Even that memorial was carried by Zhao Kuo to the Queen... No, it was the Ciyuan Hall where the Empress Dowager Li Fengniang is now.

Shi Miyuan, who left the palace, looked up at the gloomy weather unconsciously after Liu Zheng and others got on the carriage and left. He sighed in his heart that it was about to rain, and then he got into the carriage.

After Shi Miyuan moved to the left prime minister, Lou Yu was helped to be the Minister of Personnel by Shi Miyuan, which made Lou Yu feel more grateful to Shi Miyuan and wished he could express his gratitude to him.

Shi Miyuan had just returned to the mansion, and Lou Yu had been waiting for a long time. Among the crowds of people in the study, Shi Miyuan still did not see Zheng Qingzhi. He snorted unhappy in his heart, and then made the officials in the room nod and bowed to him one by one, and then he couldn't help but feel panic in his heart.

Now the Minister of Works Li Xinchuan, will serve as the supervisor of Shen Jizu and other Shi Miyuan's followers. Seeing Shi Miyuan, who was unhappy, sit down behind the desk, each with flattering smiles on his face, and prick up his ears to wait for Shi Miyuan to inform them about the incident of entering the palace to meet the emperor today.

Just when Shi Miyuan began to think about how Ye Qinghua was passive and active, in Ciyuan Palace, Li Fengniang angrily threw Ye Qing's memorial on the table.

Zhao Kuo's heart tightened slightly, looked at Li Fengniang with anger, and sat down and asked, "Mother, but this Ye Qing really wants to deceive his son's minister?"

But when Zhao Kuo asked carefully, Li Fengniang returned to her former graceful demeanor, looking at Zhao Kuo with kindness in her eyes, and asked with a smile: "What do you think Kuo'er thinks?"

Zhao Kuo was a little confused. The young man's mature brow frowned slightly, and his eyes moved to the memorial. After thinking about it, he said seriously: "My son thought Ye Qing was not a deceiving the king, but what he said in this memorial was said for a few years, and he also felt that what Shi Miyuan said was quite reasonable. Besides... the mother just dropped this memorial again, so the memorial is a little unsure now."

After seeing Zhao Kuo who looked a little embarrassed, Li Fengniang felt quite relieved. It was normal that she could not see the tricks in the memorial. After all, Zhao Kuo was still young and had never experienced the favorite word game of the ministers in the court.

However, what made her deeply relieved was that, even though she could not determine whether Ye Qing's memorial was suspected of deceiving the emperor, Zhao Kuo knew to judge whether this memorial was suspected of deceiving the emperor through the reactions of other ministers and her own.

So in her opinion, Zhao Kuo's reaction was already valuable. He was much better than the Supreme Emperor, but if he had to fight with Ye Qing, Shi Miyuan and other ministers, he might be a little far behind.

When the new king succeeded to the throne and first entered the court, Li Fengniang did not expect Zhao Kuo to fully understand the strangeness of the court immediately. He was not in his position or planning his politics. The same was true for the emperor. Just like the Supreme Emperor, he had been the crown prince for so many years, but he still didn't know anything when he first entered the court, and was led by the nose by the ministers in the court.

Therefore, only after you truly enter the court and become an emperor can you have the opportunity to truly contact, and whether you practice the so-called imperial skills or the way to control your ministers.

In short, in Li Fengniang's opinion, Zhao Kuo can only become an emperor at this age and learn slowly before he can become a qualified emperor.

If you have always been in charge of politics as a prince, it will obviously be difficult to deal with government affairs from the height of an emperor, and your thoughts and concerns will obviously never be as comprehensive as an emperor.

"Does Kuoer care about who paid the money?" Li Fengniang was not in a hurry to give Zhao Kuo a clear answer and continued to ask step by step. "I just feel that Ye Qing's memorial was just not explained clearly, but what Shi Miyuan said was not unreasonable, so I can't know whether Ye Qing is really willing to help Erchen build the palace." The young Zhao Kuo obviously cared more about the actual interests, the benefits he could see and touch.

Just like an ordinary boy, whether an elder is good to him or not, obviously in a very simple mind, he is by no means judged by his words of earnest teachings. He obviously cares more about whether the elder will give him some material surprises, such as toys or food.

The young Zhao Kuo was born with a noble birth, and Li Fengniang was protected like a tigress. With the window paper with Ye Qing, he had almost never come into contact with many people and things before ascending the throne, so most of his intelligence was still learned from books, and this is why, when he learned that he was about to succeed to the throne, the first thing Zhao Kuo did was to find ten lecturers for himself first.

"Everyone in the world is the king's land, and within the four seas, there are all the king's ministers." Li Fengniang smiled and said, "Ku'er is the lord of the world and the emperor of my Song Dynasty. Isn't the wealth of this world yours? What's more, what they are arguing about now is just who comes from the North and the Ministry of Revenue. But Ku'er has thought that whether it is from the North or the Ministry of Revenue, it is not all the wealth of the Song Dynasty? So, why do you mind who pays the money for repairing Tokyo and the palace?"

"If Ye Qing doesn't come out, wouldn't he still want..." Zhao Kuo was a little confused. Could it be that Ye Qing was really just saying beautiful words?

Li Fengniang smiled and shook her head, then sighed slightly and said, "Ye Qing's move is not to deceive the emperor, but to... use this matter to fight Shi Miyuan openly and secretly. What you have to do is to make a good deal of trade-offs between the two. After all, no matter who pays the money, in the end the money will be paid by the court, and it will be paid by the Song Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with his Ye Qing or Shi Miyuan's personal money."

Zhao Kuo's brows were frowning even more powerfully. He vaguely understood what Li Fengniang meant, but if he thought about it further, he would really not be able to come up with the reason.

"My mother means Ye Qing takes this opportunity to embarrass Shi Miyuan, and Shi Miyuan also wants to take this opportunity to make his son minister dissatisfied with Ye Qing?" Zhao Kuo asked uncertainly.

"The emperor is different from the prince. Some things, when you are in the court for a long time, you will slowly understand. You are still young, so let them handle these things by themselves. And this memorial... you can only criticize the memorial." Li Fengniang was no longer as she had before, and she couldn't wait to hope that Zhao Kuo would grow up quickly.

Now that she is an emperor, she has time to help Zhao Kuo grow into a qualified king.

"Then if Ye Qing didn't pay the money and the Ministry of Revenue didn't pay the money, then wouldn't it be even more distant and repaired?" The young Zhao Kuo always felt that the time was too slow. When asked in Qinzheng Hall, if it was to repair the palace, how long would it take to Kaifeng, King Qing and others gave it at least three to five years, as much as eight years, and ten years, Zhao Kuo immediately wanted to start repairing immediately, and then it would be completed tomorrow.

So when he heard Li Fengniang let him let Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan go and shirk responsibility, he immediately felt that he could not wait.

"It is too early to discuss the matter of restoring the capital, but since the court has begun to discuss and Ye Qing proposed the matter of restoring the capital a few years ago, this matter naturally needs to be put on the agenda. The renovation of the palace is definitely not something that can be completed in one day. Ten or eight years are naturally affordable for Kuoer." Li Fengniang shook her head and looked at Zhao Kuo, who was anxious and overwhelmed with a wry smile.

"But my mother had told my son before that I hope that my son could do something real in the past few years of his succession, so that people and the ministers in the court could see that my son was competent..." Zhao Kuo, who was a mature young man, continued to ask.

Li Fengniang continued to shake her head: "If Ye Qing continues to fight the Northern Expedition, no matter how big or small the victory is, it will be the achievements of your emperor as an emperor. This is something that no one can take away, and can make you a rare achievement that surpasses your father and the emperor. In comparison, if you spend too much money, what is the merit of history books? If you spend less money, what is the majesty of the Song Dynasty? If you participate, how will the history books record it? So it is better to leave it to them. You are still young, but you are just twelve years old. Even if you have been in the past ten years, you will only have twenty-two. As long as you use these ten years to familiarize yourself with everything in the court, it will be enough. And in these ten years, if Ye Qing can recover all the lost territory of my Song Dynasty, you will be famous in history, and then it is naturally the best time."

"If Shi Miyuan asks his son again..." Zhao Kuo habitually agreed to Li Fengniang's arrangement for him, and then felt a little sorry for Shi Miyuan's questioning.

"Just give Shi Miyuan this memorial that you have approved, and he will understand." Li Fengniang glanced at the memorial, then paused slightly, and pondered: "No matter whether you really want to return to Kaifeng Prefecture in the future, it is obviously no longer necessary to repair Kaifeng Prefecture. Regardless of whether everything can develop as the mother said, the construction of Kaifeng Prefecture and the imperial palace is extremely beneficial to you or the court. The northern land is ultimately the territory of the Song Dynasty. So Kuaner might as well add a deadline to this memorial and tell Ye Qing and the Ministry of Works that Shi Miyuan will be in charge. You will see the results in three or five years, and you will need to repair them in ten or eight years. As for the process, let them make trouble."

Zhao Kuo's eyes lit up instantly, and the smile on his face gradually spread. He looked at Li Fengniang in surprise and said, "Everyone in the world is the king's land, and within the world, there are all the king's ministers. So the ministers do not have to pay attention to who paid the money. Just give them a deadline. The northern land or the Ministry of Revenue is all the money of the Song Dynasty, so the ministers do not have to worry about this matter at all. As for who would pay the money, let them fight by themselves. But after the deadline, they did not achieve the effect they wanted, so the ministers have a legitimate reason to offend them?"

"They will shirk responsibility, but they will never exceed the deadline you give them. Isn't this going to solve the things you worry about, and make you not have to listen to them attacking each other in your ears? You can focus on being familiar with the rest of the court." Li Fengniang looked at Zhao Kuo with appreciation for this matter, and continued with a smile: "There is no right or wrong in the court, and there is no loyalty or treacherous in the court. Whether it is right or wrong, loyal or treacherous, as long as it is in the interests of your king, you are the ministers you should trust. And some ministers who only know how to speak cleverly, or sow discord and attack others, you should be vigilant."

Zhao Kuo's expression, which was a little happy, became serious in an instant. Looking at Li Fengniang's equally serious gaze, after thinking for a while, he suddenly stood up and knelt down slowly at Li Fengniang, and said very seriously: "Thank you, my mother, for her teachings. I understand my mother's painstaking efforts."

Li Fengniang helped Zhao Kuo up and said earnestly: "You are still young, so it is normal for you to not understand some things. Now, no matter whether you really understand it or not, it doesn't matter. You still have time to get familiar with all this. The queen of mother also believes that Kuo's son will definitely become a good emperor in the future."

Zhao Kuo nodded firmly, his eyes also seemed a little firm at this moment. After a heavy nod, he left Ciyuan Palace with the memorial.

After watching Zhao Kuo's figure disappear, Li Fengniang sighed involuntarily, and she was also expecting in her heart. Zhao Kuo really understood.

But what is in the court is not that simple. How could Shi Miyuan, Ye Qing, Liu Zheng and others be so easy to deal with?

"Tell Ye Qing that this is all I can help him. What should I do next depends on himself. Shi Miyuan is definitely not a good-looking lamp. If it weren't for the time being that his memorial came today, Kuo'er would have been convinced by Shi Miyuan." Li Fengniang said to Zhu Ye'er beside him with a heavy weight.

As Zhu Ye'er left, Li Fengniang sat alone in a daze, thinking about the kneeling before Zhao Kuo left. I don't know if he really understood that whether it was Ye Qing or Shi Miyuan, they all wanted to use it to please Zhao Kuo to suppress each other?

Li Fengniang still had a hint of worry in her heart. After all, no one knows her son, but her mother. Today, Zhao Kuo had complaints about Ye Qing at the beginning, and as Ye Qing's memorial came to his eyes, he immediately changed his view of Ye Qing, which made Li Fengniang worry. If this continues, will Zhao Kuo be deceived by Shi Miyuan's sweet words and become more dissatisfied with Ye Qing?
