In fact, Zhao Kai and Li Qi each performed their own duties. Li Qi could have refused him, but Li Qi knew that Zhao Kai must have done this for a purpose, so he simply sold him to save face.

It was okay for him. After all, he exercised regularly, and he was young and strong, so this kind of work would not be too tiring for him. But Wang Zhongling suffered more. He was panting like a dog before he did it twice.

Li Qi looked very happy. He didn't know why he, a good man who respects the elderly and loves the young, had such a mentality. He joked in a low voice: "Uncle Wang, you really should lose weight. With your figure, the older you get, the better."

Suffer a loss."

"Go, go, I'm annoyed. Stop coming and join in the fun."

As Wang Zhongling spoke, he glanced at Zhao Kai who was repairing the window. Seeing that Zhao Kai was working very hard and didn't look like he was pretending at all, he became more and more curious and asked in a low voice: "Hey, Li Qi, why did Your Highness do this?"

What is it for?"

Li Qi said angrily: "I didn't know. If I had known, I would have left a long time ago and wasted my time here with him. I still have a lot of things to do."

Wang Zhongling sighed and said: "Who can say otherwise? There are still a lot of unresolved issues outside, but he is still in the mood to build a house here. This His Highness is really getting more and more incomprehensible."

Li Qi nodded and said, "I deeply agree."

At this moment, someone outside suddenly heard shouting: "Bu Shuai, Bu Shuai, are you in there?"

Niu Gao? Li Qi frowned slightly and thought to himself, why is he here? Could something have happened? Thinking of this, he hurried out.

Wang Zhongling saw Li Qi's solemn expression and hurriedly followed him out to take a breath. This physical work was really not suitable for him.

When Niu Gao saw Li Qi coming out, he first clasped his fists and saluted, then stepped forward and whispered a few words in Li Qi's ear.

Li Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this true?"

Niu Gao nodded and said: "The general will not dare to hide anything."

Li Qidao: "Will you accept it?"

Niu Gao shook his head and said: "Without Bu Shuai's order, how dare we accept it?"

Li Qi pondered for a moment and said: "Since it is His Highness's kindness, just accept it."

Niu Gao cupped his fists and sang, when he suddenly saw Li Qi holding a hammer in his hand and curiously asked: "Bu Shuai, what are you doing?"

Li Qi glared and said: "Why are you so ignorant of taste? You won't open any pot and pick up any pot. You are almost as good as Yue Fei. Get out."

"As ordered. Get out of here, general!"

Niu Gao grinned and laughed a few times. Seeing that Li Qi had raised his hammer, he hurried away.

"This bastard."

Li Qi smiled and shook his head.

At this time, Wang Zhongling suddenly came over and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"

Li Qi shook his head and said: "It seems that His Highness is serious this time."

Wang Zhongling snorted and said, "How do you say this?"

Li Qidao: "Your Highness has just transported all the fine rice in the palace to the military camp, and exchanged it two to one for the middle and lower grade rice that the soldiers eat."

"What?"

Wang Zhongling was dumbfounded. On the first day, Zhao Kai could say that he had emptied the entire palace.

The two returned to the house. They saw that Zhao Kai was still working on the windows seriously and turned a deaf ear to Niu Gao's arrival.

Li Qi and Wang Zhongling looked at each other and shook their heads. They had no choice but to start working again.

About half an hour later, another burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly."

After a burst of extremely arrogant and anxious shouting, Zhao Kai finally stopped. With a frown, he turned around and strode out.

Li Qi and Wang Zhongling also followed out.

When I came outside the house, I saw a large group of people coming outside. They were all dressed in official uniforms, and there were many officers and soldiers. The refugees were frightened, and there was fear in their eyes.

Li Qi glanced around and smiled to himself, it seemed that everyone was here.

These people were the ministers of the court. Since neither Zhao Kai nor Li Qi came to the morning court and were not in the palace, the military situation in Daming Mansion was urgent again. But they were so anxious that they looked for Zhao Kai everywhere.

Soon, they learned that Zhao Kai was here, so they hurried over.

quiet!

When they saw Zhao Kai and Li Qi, they were all stunned. Their expressions were surprisingly consistent with those of Li Qi and Wang Zhongling. They couldn't believe their eyes.

The number one and number two figures in the current dynasty actually hold a hammer and a saw. Is this a weird situation?

Zhao Kai glanced at the soldiers, a flash of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but just this look scared those soldiers to death, and they quickly restrained themselves a lot. It has to be said that Zhao Kai today is indeed very different from before.

Same.

Zhao Kai smiled slightly and said, "Everyone is here!"

As soon as he spoke, the ministers also reacted. Jiang Daoyan was the first to stand up and asked: "Your Highness, the emperor entrusted the state affairs to you, but you turned a blind eye and came here to make trouble. You are not right to the emperor."

Do you trust me?"

He even dared to lecture Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, let alone Zhao Kai.

"Yes! Your Highness, the military situation is urgent. Please go to the palace as soon as possible."

"Your Highness, please return to the palace as soon as possible."

...

The ministers were anxious with tears in their eyes and urged Zhao Kai to go back and take charge of the overall situation.

Zhao Kai responded with a smile. After a while, he raised his hand and said: "Don't be anxious, everyone. Everything is done on a first-come, first-served basis. Let's solve it one by one. The top priority now is to repair this house." He

As he spoke, he pointed towards the house behind him.

"What?"

The ministers' eyes widened, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

Zhao Kai ignored their feelings and continued: "Since you are here, please help."

When Li Qi and Wang Zhongling heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. With more people helping them, they could feel much more relaxed.

"ah?"

Those ministers became more and more confused as they listened. We are the ministers of the DPRK and have too many things to deal with. You ask us to build a house. This is simply a fantasy and unreasonable.

Jiang Daoyan reprimanded: "Your Highness, you are simply making nonsense!"

Zhao Kai smiled softly and said seriously: "Whether it's nonsense or serious, in short, today's court meeting will be held here. When will the house be repaired? Then the court meeting will be held at that time."

As he spoke, he turned around and went back into the house, pretending not to hear the ministers shouting.

"How can this be true? How can it be true?"

Jiang Daoyan and others were so angry that they didn't care so much anymore. They stood outside and scolded Zhao Kai for being unfilial, not doing his job properly, and treating state affairs as child's play.

But the only response they received was a burst of banging sounds.

After scolding for a long time, Zhao Kai never uttered a word, which made the ministers feel that they had nothing to do. At this moment of helplessness, they remembered Li Qi and Wang Zhongling, and they all surrounded them.

"Economic Envoy, Wang Shangshu, why are you here?"

"Economic Envoy, please don't forget the mission assigned to you by the Emperor. How can you fool around with His Highness?"

"That's right. If His Highness doesn't go to court, we can't make the decision. The Jin army is about to attack."

...

Li Qi was so noisy by them that he had a headache. He suddenly raised his hands.

Everyone was shocked and took a small step back. After all, the sledgehammer in Li Qi's hand was also very scary.

Li Qi showed a face that was even more miserable than theirs, and shouted: "Everyone, you think I'm not trying to persuade you, but then your Highness must be willing to listen. Look at what I'm holding, and look at what I'm holding."

Where does the food here come from, and look at who these craftsmen are. I can only say that His Highness is serious this time. If you want to solve the problem as soon as possible, there is only one way, get the tools

, build a house."

He hummed as he spoke, then turned around and walked towards the house.

The ministers were stunned and looked at Wang Zhongling aggrievedly.

Wang Zhongling did not dare to roar loudly like Li Qi. After all, he could only be regarded as a mid-level among these people, so he explained to them everything that had just happened and the food here. In summary, in one sentence,

Zhao Kai has gone crazy. He can't live without building this house!

When the ministers heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all like two-foot-long monks, confused.

Wu Min was so angry that he really couldn't understand the reason why Zhao Kai did this. But now there seemed to be only one way before them, and he said: "Just do it, I want to see what kind of tricks he is playing."

.”

Jiang Daoyan said: "What Wu said is good. Let's do it first and ask him for an explanation later."

There was no other way, so the ministers took the tools and started working. It was not so much building a house as venting the anger in their hearts. Nails, hammers, and wood all became big enemies in their eyes.

The refugees were dumbfounded. They were sitting around eating, drinking, and chatting, while these officials were working there. This was simply incomprehensible! They were all whispering, and they didn’t know who was speaking.
