In Guangji Temple in Wuhu County, King Jing Zhao Qi, King Ji Zhao Xu, King Yi Zhao Qi, Master Yi Zhao Xu, Master Guanwen Xuzhong, and Zhao Xiang, the thirteen-year-old Han Gong, were looking around at the foot of Zhao Kai, the official Zhao Kai of the Song Dynasty.

The three older princes were a little surprised by the arrangement in this heavily guarded temple. In a word, there was no arrangement. Apart from the desks and chairs, there were no decorations, calligraphy and paintings, and there were no bookshelfs filled with packages. If it weren't for the six black flags and two white banners that symbolized Zhao Kai, the emperor, who was inserted outside the lobby, wouldn't believe that this place was actually the walking place of Zhao Kai, who was no less talented than Zhuangzong and loved calligraphy and painting.

Did Zhao Kai give up his hobby of calligraphy and painting in order to conquer the world and become an official? The only thing he devoted himself to was avenging his father and aggravated the country? When the three princes of the Song Dynasty thought of this, they kept nodding and admiring Zhao Kai's filial piety and ambition.

As for the Korean Duke Zhao Xiang, who has never seen Zhao Kai since he remembered, he didn't know how much Zhao Kai loved calligraphy and painting art back then. His attention was attracted by a team of squads standing outside the lobby. These samurai were all very young, under the age of twenty, and had a very strong body. Everyone's face was tanned. You can tell at a glance that they often trained at night.

Their physical strength and standing posture look impeccable. Everyone is wearing cold forging armor, carrying bows, arrows, straight knives, hammers, thunder bombs, and holding spears with so many guys. This martial art must be very powerful, right?

Zhao Xiang, the son of the late emperor, was born too late and did not catch up with the "good time". In the primary school run by his elder brother Zhao Huan, the Imperial College was both civil and military, and it was mainly martial. Therefore, he was not interested in calligraphy and painting art, but he was very envious of the cold-forged armor on the samurai warriors, and he wanted to learn about martial arts with them.

Just as Zhao Xiang wanted to walk out of the lobby to find a squad warrior, where they bought their cold-forged armor, he heard a shout outside the yard: "Long live!"

Then the yard so the samurai warriors stood at attention, looking more majestic than before.

Zhao Xiang knew that Zhao Kai was here, and he didn't go with his three brothers. He slipped into the yard first, stood inside the gate and looked out, but he didn't see anyone, but heard a hearty laugh: "Hahaha, sixth brother, seventh brother, starling brother, what gust of wind blows you?"

When Zhao Xiang heard these words, he saw a man with a black hat and a military uniform, strode in with a group of young and strong officials (all Hanlin).

He must be my third brother! Zhao Xiang doesn't know Zhao Kai, but he has heard many legends about how Zhao Kai is brave. So now he recognizes Zhao Kai, the official who has just returned from inspecting the army camp at a glance, so he strode forward to Zhao Kai and bow to him: "Zhao Xiang greets the official family!"

"Take a photo?" Zhao Kai saw a child suddenly slipping in front of him and called himself "Take a photo". He was stunned. Who is this?

Seeing Zhao Kai still stunned, Zhao Xiang knew that his third brother was forgetful and could not remember him anymore, so he had to introduce himself again: "Third brother, younger brother Zhao Xiang, is the 32nd son of the late emperor, and is named Han Duke."

"Thirty-two" Zhao Kai finally remembered it, looking at the big boy in front of him, "I remembered it, you are the youngest son of your father. When you were in the seventh year of Xuanhe, you were only two years old, and you were so old in the blink of an eye!"

After hearing this, Zhao Xiang had to shake his head and said, "Third Brother, you remembered wrongly. There is a thirty-third brother under me."

Thirty-three sons! Is this too good to give birth? Zhao Kaixin said: Fortunately, he died early. If he lived to the age of seventy and eighty, he would not have given birth to one or two hundred sons?

However, Zhao Kai could not remember what his thirty-third brother was called? This was strange. Zhao Kai thought to himself: Am I old and have a bad memory? The thirty-second brother is obviously the youngest brother!

When Zhao Kai was trying hard to recall, Zhao Qi, Zhao Xu, Zhao Qi and Yuwen Xuzhong had already come out of the lobby. Zhao Qi had a sharp ear and heard Zhao Xiang tell Zhao Kai about the Thirty-Three Brothers from afar, so he interrupted: "Third Brothers, Thirty-Three Brothers were born in the first year of Jingkang. He is the posthumous son of our father. No one has ever told you about this?"

No one has ever said that Zhao Kaixin said: The family of the Emperor is indeed weak!

"Haha," he thought of this, and he had no choice but to laugh, "Maybe he had said too much, and he actually forgot."

Zhao Qi, Zhao Xu, Zhao Qi, Yu Wen Xuzhong and four others all arrived in the yard and bowed to Zhao Kai together.

Zhao Kaize greeted his four brothers and Yuwen Xuzhong to enter the lobby together, and then ordered the left and right to serve tea and prepare a banquet for reception.

The brothers and Yuwen Xuzhong sat in the lobby. As soon as the tea was brought up, Zhao Kai smiled and asked, "What's the situation in Jinling now? Who is the master of the family?"

"It's sister-in-law," Zhao Qi said, "When the eldest brother left, he entrusted Jinling City to his sister-in-law and Zhang Bangchang, but Zhang Bangchang had no opinion, so the one who was in Jinling City was the sister-in-law."

"Oh." Zhao Kai smiled, "What does sister-in-law mean?"

This question is not easy to answer. My sister-in-law wants to use the empty city strategy!

Zhao Qi, Zhao Xu and Zhao Qi together shone their eyes on Yuwen Xuzhong. Yuwen Xuzhong smiled and said, "Official family, the Princess of Wu asked you not to enter Jinling City first, and your troops should not enter the city."

"What?" Zhao Kai was stunned, "What does she mean?"

Yuwen Xuzhong smiled and said, "Now the treasury of Jinling City is empty, so the Princess of Wu wants to ask you to stay in the palace in Niushou Mountain for a while and allow her to raise a reward for the military in Jinling City."

"Wait," Zhao Kai became anxious when he heard this. This matter was not a joke. "What's going on? Why can't you have no money? Isn't there a lot of money in the sealed warehouse?"

"No more," Zhao Xiang held the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, "It made the elder brother spend all the sealing warehouse empty!"

"What? 100 million coins were spent?" Zhao Kai couldn't believe his ears, "How did he spend them? How could he spend them all?"

Yuwen Xuzhong smiled and said, "How can you spend money in the official family? Especially in a prosperous and prosperous place like the southeast of the Song Dynasty, let alone 100 million yuan, even if you have a few times more, you can spend it."

The three brothers Zhao Qi, Zhao Xu and Zhao Qi also continued to say Yuwen Xuzhong's words.

"Brother wants to go to Guangdong and Guangxi, so you can't be empty-handed, right? He has so many troops and officials under him!"

"Yes, the wilderness of Lingnan cannot afford to support so many people, so I have to buy more in the southeast, so I can spend it slowly when I go to Lingnan."

"It's been a day or two for the eldest brother to plan to escape south. Third brother, you won't know nothing, right?"

Of course, Zhao Kai would not know nothing, but he would never have thought that Zhao Huan would spend all the money in the sealed warehousing!

When Yuwen Xuzhong saw Zhao Kai frowning tighter and tighter, he said to him: "Official family, don't worry, the princess of Wu has a way. As long as your army does not enter Jinling, she has a way."

"What does this have to do with whether I enter Jinling or not?" Zhao Kai was a little annoyed, "I have entered Jinling and went to Jiangnan, are you still afraid that I will not have money?"

Isn’t it just money! Can’t you rob it if you can’t make money?

Yuwen Xuzhong smiled, "Whether Jinling or Jiangnan are all things in the hands of the officials, but the money from Jinling and Jiangnan is optional! I believe the officials also know it, otherwise they would have been able to sweep the Southeast. Why do you have to do new Confucianism to win over the Confucian scholars in the Southeast?"

Zhao Kaixin said: I should start early so that Zhao Huan, the prodigal brother, had no time to spend all his money.

At this time, Zhao Qi said again: "San brother, how much do you want? Let's talk about it, let's go back and talk to my sister-in-law."

Zhao Kai stretched out his two fingers, "Twenty must not be missing any more."

This time he brought more than 200,000 troops south, and 20 million were divided equally for them. Each person only brought dozens of guan home. Of course, he would not really bring back copper coins. The industry and commerce of Yingtian Road and Jiedu Road in the north were underdeveloped, and they could not buy any good things when they went back with money, so they still had to buy things in the southeast to bring them back.

This is also the reason why Zhao Kai is unwilling to destroy the Southeast. Years of war and Zhao Kai's land reform have seriously damaged the industrial and commercial production in the north. At the same time, the industry and commerce in the southeast are extremely prosperous due to the inflow of northern capital and craftsmen. If the industry and commerce in the southeast are also severely damaged, the trouble Zhao Kai will encounter will not only be that he has no money, but even if he has money, he will not be able to buy what he wants!

Yuwen Xuzhong nodded, "Twenty million is not a decimal, but it is not a problem for the Princess of Wu. Officials, have you agreed to the Princess of Wu?"

Twenty million coins! She really has a way? Zhao Kai was still a little suspicious when he heard Yuwen Xuzhong's words: Is there money in Jinling's sealed pile warehouse? Zhu Lian deliberately hid the money and then used it to threaten the official family?

"I agree. When can she raise the money?" Zhao Kai asked thoughtfully.

Yuwen Xuzhong smiled and said, "I don't know, so the official can ask the princess of Wu in person. As soon as you move into Li Palace in Niushou Mountain, the princess will immediately leave Jinling City and go to Li Palace in Niushou Mountain to meet you in detail."

Zhao Qi smiled beside him and said, "Third brother, you and your sister-in-law have always met each other since you were young! The friendship between the two young people grew up together!"

Is there any other thing? Zhao Kai quickly thought about it. It seems that there was something happening. He had already remembered it. His relationship with Zhu Lian seemed to be really good. If it weren't for Zhao Huanheng's love, Zhu Lian would now be his queen!

"Okay," Zhao Kai smiled, "Then I promised to meet her in Niushou Mountain Ligong in three days and have a detailed discussion!"
