Zhao Bing was not surprised to receive a reply from refusing to meet him. He was ordered to anchor the periphery of the imperial fleet. He was tired for a day and fell asleep quickly. The next morning, he received an edict saying that there were many inconveniences at sea, and that the imperial fleet lacked food and fresh water before being supplied before summoning him. Zhao Bing and Ying Jieyan looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The court indeed had great distrust of them. The matter of moving to Qiongzhou would definitely not be simple, but now he can only act on his own terms.

The two armies slowly walked northwest along the coast several miles apart. At the afternoon, they entered the strait and went to Puqian Bay but refused to go any further. They had to choose a fishing port to take shelter to pause. Zhao Bing knew that they were very wary of him, so he ordered Baisha and Chengmai Navy to return to their camps, leaving only the rear army to accompany them, and ordered the infantry to board the 6th and set up defenses on the shore, and the navy to patrol outside. The imperial court fleet had more than a thousand boats, and the fishing port was very small and could not moor so many boats. Most of them could only park in the bay and use small water-drawing boats to dock to get water.

After waiting for a long time, the court sent someone to order Zhao Bing, Ying Jieyan and Jiang Yan to go to the imperial boat to see him. After the three of them changed their clothes, Ying Jieyan reminded Zhuang Siqi, the commander of the Later Army, and then arranged for Zheng Yong to lead a team of guards to accompany him on another boat. Then, with the two, they took a few followers to the ferry ship sent by the court.

"Prince Wei (Guangnan West Road Pacification Envoy, Guangnan West Road Transport Envoy) meets Your Majesty, Empress Dowager!" The three of them entered the meeting hall on the imperial ship. Zhao Bing secretly saw that not only the emperor, but also the empress dowager were there, Chen Yizhong, Jiang Wanzai, Zhang Shijie, 6 Xiufu and other prime ministers were there, and there were also a few familiar faces that could not be named. They took a few steps and gave a great gift to see the Tao.

"No gifts, please give up your gifts!" The little emperor Zhao Ying was very excited. After they finished their salute, they raised their hands to help them. They couldn't wait to order again, "Give Prince Wei a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Bing did not dare to salute again, and smiled at the emperor's brother on the imperial throne.

"I have given you a seat to Lord Ying. I thank you for your kindness instructing you for your kindness." Empress Dowager Yang ordered behind the curtain that Ying Jieyan was busy thanking you.

"Your Highness, you have been wandering on the sea for a long time. Now there is food shortage. I would like to ask the Qiongzhou area to provide emergency assistance. I wonder if it is possible?" As soon as he sat down, Chen Yizhong left the line and bowed to Zhao Bing.

"Chen Xiang, you are welcome. This time, I will try to make up for the shortage after arriving in Qiongzhou." Zhao Bing stood up and returned the courtesy.

"The enemy is in front of Qiongzhou, and Qiongzhou is not stable. There is no conclusion about where the priest will avoid. Please try to add some more." Chen Yizhong smiled.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Qiongzhou is not as rich as it is, but the soldiers and civilians below will work hard to pay tribute. Please discuss it again." Although the matter was not unexpected, Zhao Bing still pretended to be frightened.

"Hey, why did you go to Leizhou? Didn't your mother say that she was going to Qiongzhou at first?" the little emperor turned his face in surprise and asked.

"Your Majesty, this is the newly agreed upon by the Prime Ministers, so don't say too much." Empress Dowager Yang said softly, and she was quite helpless in her words.

"My son begs the Empress Dowager to move to Qiongzhou to avoid the suffering of wandering on the sea, so that he can see him and show his filial piety." Zhao Bing knew that the Empress Dowager intended to come to Qiongzhou, but last night it must be these people who didn't know what to use to scare the Empress Dowager, so he bowed and invited him.

"The Ai family has taken over the filial piety of King Wei, but the military and national affairs need to be decided by the ministers." Empress Dowager Yang nodded and said.

"The Empress Dowager's work hard, my son understands!" Zhao Bing sighed. He secretly planned the court in his heart. Political affairs were still determined by Chen Yizhong, and military affairs were still determined by Zhang Shijie's pattern. The empress dowager and the emperor were still puppets. They must have been worried that they would enter the court strongly after arriving in Qiongzhou and were worried that they would lose power, so they refused again and again. The little emperor wandered on the sea according to history. Will he still have to repeat the fallen sea and die of fear?

"Your Highness's loyalty and filial piety is a reflection of heaven and earth. Qiongzhou is lonely and hangs overseas. The Tartars are moving south in a large way, and it is difficult to defend a corner of the land." Chen Yi said in the middle.

"Celebrity Chen, I wonder how much food the imperial court needs?" Jiang Qi was worried that his highness would act irritably, so he took over the topic.

"Mr. Jiang, the 200,000 military and civilians in the court are consumed very heavily every day. I wonder how much can I raise in a short time?" Chen Yizhong said. This is very clear. There are so many of us, so you can do it!

"Chen Xiang Chen also knew that Qiongzhou is a barren land overseas, and its production was not abundant, and the needs were still high in the past years. Hua and other states provided assistance. At present, Qiongzhou only had more than 20,000 grain and stones to supply the court, and it would take some time to raise it." Jiang Yu said after a long time of contemplation.

"Then let's go 20,000 shi first!" Chen Yizhong said without hesitation.

"Don't you, this guy is really brave enough to open his teeth. He has already told him that Qiongzhou only has more than 20,000 s. But he will take them all away when he opens his mouth!" Zhao Bing cursed inwardly. This grandson is so cruel. This is not just raising grain. It is obvious that he has shaved the ground. Fortunately, Jiang Yu is experienced and concealed a lot of information, otherwise he would not have to save his granary.

"Your Highness, look?" Jiang Xu turned his face and asked for his opinion.

"We Qiongzhou has the responsibility to share your worries and solve the problems of the court. Later, Lord Jiang took my order to return to collect food and grass and sent it to him." Zhao Bing agreed happily after hearing this. He knew that if he bargained, these people might be able to arrange themselves. Anyway, they would have to give it to him sooner or later, so it would be better to enjoy it.

"Your Highness must act within his ability and must not act recklessly!" Ying Jieyan said with a word.

"FuShiShi..." Zhao Bing said in a deep voice

"Dear sirs, I don't know that Qiongzhou's autumn tax will only receive more than 30,000 stones of various grains, but the money is only 200,000 guan, and self-sufficiency is not enough. Your Highness will only accept these trivial matters on weekdays. The 20,000 stones are really a little more." Ying Jieyan stood up and bowed to everyone as if he hadn't heard it.

"How much is appropriate to respond to the Lord's wishes?" Chen Yizhong said with a frown.

"Cei Chen, the officials thought that 10,000 stones was the limit, and Qiongzhou was really unable to bear the amount." Ying Jieyan stroked his beard and said.

"It is true that Lord Ying is old and the country is in power. Then raise 10,000 stones first!" Chen Yizhong did not argue, and agreed after a brief thought. In fact, he was also trying to find out how powerful Qiongzhou is. First, he should see how strong Qiongzhou is. You should know that raising soldiers and 10,000 people spends money every day. No matter how strong the soldiers are, it is not enough to have money. Second, he wants to see if the Qiongzhou is the final decision. Now it seems that Qiongzhou is not a good soldier and sufficient food, and his life is too short. He must be strict in presiding over military and political affairs in Qiongzhou. King Wei is still a little tender and cannot do big things.

"The subordinate thanked Chen Xiang and understood the sufferings of the local area." Ying Jieyan thanked him.
