"I will obey your order."
"Mr. Cui... first give him the title of deputy commander, then go back and tell Li Bao that I know what he means, but right now the navy needs money to expand, and I can't just give it away, so tell him to be patient."
“Yes!”
"Huang Qing..."
Emperor Zhao nodded and was about to continue speaking, but unexpectedly, Yang Yizhong came hurriedly in from the other side amidst the fine snow, with a stern look on his face. He handed a box directly to Lan Gui and whispered something. Lan Gui hesitated for a moment, but still interrupted Emperor Zhao's summons and bowed to present the box.
Zhao Jiu was puzzled, but he still looked directly at the stone table. However, as soon as he opened the box, before he could open the silk inside, the official Lan beside him had no choice but to carefully explain:
"It was the Emperor Taishang Daojun who sent a congratulatory letter, congratulating the emperor on his victory over the Western Xia... Perhaps the Emperor Taishang Daojun knew about the Emperor Taishang Yuansheng's congratulatory letter, but he didn't know that the emperor had already returned it."
Zhao Jiu was stunned for a moment, then became furious. Without even reading the contents, and regardless of the five ministers reporting to him and the countless close ministers around him, he took out the silk from the box and tore it with all his might.

Then, after Zhao Guanjia had taken a deep breath, he stuffed the messy silk fragments in his hand back into the box, and handed it to the frightened Lan Daguan beside him: "It's the same as before, send it back as it is! By the way, say a word to the monks in Shaolin Temple and ask them, doesn't the Emperor Taishang Daojun recite scriptures and pray for blessings to study Buddhism in depth? Why is he using pen and ink?! I have conquered Xixia, what does it have to do with them?! One by one, come to congratulate me?!"
The five officials in front who had been serving as officials and soldiers in the local area were already dumbfounded, but they were all like wooden chickens and dared not say a word... The three major cases and sweet and sour fish had long been thrown into the Java Sea.
PS: I had a leg cramp while lying in bed. What happened? It still hurts like hell... Is it because of the cold?
