Zhao Jiu continued to look back at Yang Yizhong: "Have Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun had any private conflicts these days?"
Yang Yizhong quickly shook his head: "Both ministers can discuss the matter at hand."
"That means there are a lot of conflicts, but not to the point of attacking each other?" Zhao Jiu looked at the note in his hand thoughtfully. "From the inside out, from the south to the north, there is nothing that is necessarily the same between the two of them..."
Yang Yizhong didn't say anything else.
"The Imperial City Department needs to be expanded." Zhao Jiu basically said whatever came to his mind. "Once the Dongting Lake rebellion is quelled, the court's finances will be completely relaxed. I have asked several ministers to approve money and staffing for you... Not to mention that Tokyo is getting more and more busy, and there may not be enough manpower. Once Hebei is at peace, I'm afraid people will be able to travel freely there, so we need to be more secure there."
Yang Yizhong bowed slowly but did not respond.
"What?" Zhao Jiu looked at it curiously, obviously confused for a moment.
"I'm afraid I'm not up to the task." Yang Yizhong answered seriously. "Sir, since the situation is different now, it's better to restore the old system for some things..."
"There are some old systems that I don't want to restore." Zhao Jiu certainly understood what the other party meant, but he stopped writing and sighed at the dilapidated scene in front of him. "Once I start this, many things can't be stopped... But more importantly, I still don't trust them. A dilapidated palace with hundreds of people living in spacious rooms is actually pretty good. I'm not uncomfortable."
Yang Yizhong remained silent.
Zhao Jiu continued to sigh, "I probably understand what you and many other people are thinking. You always feel that I say this, but in reality I always live in comfort. For example, you are all waiting for Concubine Pan to give birth, and I am waiting too. You all feel that whether Concubine Pan gives birth to a prince or a princess, I have to add more people, right? I have to change my temperament, right? This is a gap, and it will get bigger sooner or later... The logic is right, and I don't have the confidence to say that I won't be soft in the future, but it's not like this now... You have people tell those people outside the palace who castrated themselves that there is no way out for them here, at least not now... You have to be ruthless about this kind of thing."
Yang Yizhong could only lower his head.
Zhao Jiu also lowered his head and prepared to continue reading the notes, but he put them down for a moment and continued to sigh: "Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun did not quarrel. Maybe they are waiting for news about Concubine Pan's pregnancy and don't want to act rashly at this time. Even some of the Jin people who have ideas may be waiting for this time to discuss with me."
Yang Yizhong was no longer silent this time: "Your Majesty, the others are not waiting for news about the royal heir, but they all know that you are waiting for news about the royal heir, so they are waiting for news from you."
Zhao Jiu nodded heavily, and couldn't help but laugh at the withered yellow in front of him: "It won't be long anyway."
It is said that on October 22, the fourth year of Jianyan, the Yellow River froze early, and Concubine Pan gave birth to a daughter at full term. The emperor was so happy that he ignored the rules and directly named her Yiyou.
Lü Haowen, the Minister of Military and State Affairs, and other ministers from the capital and the Privy Council jointly requested amnesty for the entire country on the grounds of the birth of the princess, the great victory in late summer, and the gradual stabilization of the country.
Emperor Zhao readily agreed, but he also issued a special decree that those who served the Jin people and were traitors to the Song Dynasty would not be included in the list.
PS: Thanks to No. 109 for being cute, I’m just a sweet classmate… I went out to do some work during the day today, thinking I could come back in the afternoon to finish coding. I wasted a lot of time in the afternoon, and at six o’clock I couldn’t stop feeling sleepy. I thought I could take a nap, but when I opened my eyes it was already eleven o’clock… It was really embarrassing, but I’m so tired after just walking a few steps, I can’t be a fat otaku.
