In the morning of the next day, a minister had already come forward to talk about the exchange of prisoners! After hearing this, I agreed and left the matter to Kou Zhun and the others! Because the prisoner exchange is related to great justice and the relatives of many officials and people, including Zhao Gou's relatives.

The two emperors were still humiliated in the Jin and Yuan kingdoms, and thousands of people were humiliated there. So I didn't refuse the prisoner exchange, I just asked Kou Zhun and them to negotiate. This time we are in the driver's seat, and we must blackmail them severely during the negotiations.

When they heard that I agreed to the prisoner exchange, many ministers in the court let out a sigh of relief, and many ministers also looked worried. Among them, the worries of Kou Zhun, Ouyang Xiu, and Fan Zhongyan have been clearly revealed!

I looked at the faces of Kou Zhun and the three of them, and I felt much more at ease. As long as the three of them support me, there will be no chaos in this court.

Then I announced another important thing. I said loudly: I am planning to build the largest academy in the Song Dynasty. I think Laojun Mountain is very good. That Tianshan Mountain is the place where I once practiced. I built the Laojun Academy there so that people all over the world can go there to study and practice martial arts.

After hearing this, the ministers talked a lot. They had never heard of this matter. If (Laojun Academy) is really established, the world's structure will undergo tremendous changes.

I looked at the ministers who were talking about each other, and said loudly: Privy Minister Fan listens to the order. Fan Zhongyan immediately stood up and said: I am here.

I looked at Fan Zhongyan and said: Privy Envoy Fan will lead the remaining Ministry of Industry officials in the court and be fully responsible for the construction of (Laojun Academy). Bring those [-] prisoners over and let them work hard to avoid freezing to death.

The common people employed in the construction of (Laojun Academy) must be paid one tael of silver every month. If anyone deducts the wages of the common people, I will confiscate his entire family. After hearing this, Fan Zhongyan immediately accepted the order.

After giving these instructions, he retreated from the court! Kou Zhun, Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhongyan followed me back to the palace! They also discussed with me the matter of prisoner exchange.

I took Kou Zhun, Ouyang Xiu, and Fan Zhongyan to the Chengde Hall. Master Li quickly arranged for the eunuchs to prepare food. Because it's very late today, it's already breakfast time.

The three of them and I were eating and chatting, and I heard Kou Zhun say: Your Majesty, I heard that the Jin and Yuan countries wanted to use Huizong and Qinzong in exchange for [-] million Jin and Yuan soldiers respectively.

They said that Huizong and Qinzong were worth ten thousand soldiers each, so they asked for one person to be exchanged for ten thousand soldiers. After hearing this, I said: Yes, but the families of Huizong and Qinzong must be brought back together, otherwise there will be no need to discuss it.

After hearing this, Kou Zhun felt half relieved. Kou Zhun said again: Your Majesty, how do you plan to replace the remaining [-] soldiers? After hearing this, I immediately said: One soldier is exchanged for a hundred people. If they refuse, then we will flip the table and not exchange! Leave those [-] beasts to build academies.

Fan Zhongyan, who had been silent, said: Your Majesty, if Huizong and Qinzong are replaced, how will we arrange the two emperors? I was very happy after hearing this, because Fan Zhongyan was talking about how we should arrange the two emperors, and he was not asking me alone how to arrange the two emperors.

I said without any concealment: Just build a palace for the two of them to take care of themselves until old age! After hearing this, Fan Zhongyan said: What if some ministers are uneasy? I burst out laughing after hearing this, and then said coldly: Then let them see if my butcher knife is fast.

Kou Zhun, Ouyang Xiu, and Fan Zhongyan were all very pleased when they heard what I said. A courageous and responsible emperor is exactly what the Song Dynasty needs now. If I were like Huizong and Qinzong, I would be in trouble. Da Song is hopeless!

Then we talked about some things at (Laojun Academy). I invited Kou Zhun to be the law professor at (Laojun Academy), and then invited Ouyang Xiuwei to be the history professor at (Laojun Academy), and then invited Fan Zhongyan to be the (Laojun Academy) professor. The disciplinary dean and deputy dean of the academy.

After hearing this, the three of them happily agreed, because they knew how much I valued the academy. What's more, they still have an income of fifty taels of silver every month, so why wouldn't the three of them enjoy it?

After discussing everything, the three of them were already full! So they said their goodbyes and left. But I stayed with the three of them again!

Just listen to me saying: Mr. Kou, is my marriage going to be put on the agenda? Kou Zhun laughed loudly after hearing this, and Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhongyan also laughed.

Kou Zhun said: Your Majesty, don't be anxious, the three of us have discussed it. Go to Marshal Yue's house to propose marriage in the next two days. The eighth day of next month will be your wedding day. When the time comes, Your Majesty, will you prepare a matchmaking gift for the three of us? !

After hearing this, I immediately said: No problem, just tell me what the three adults need, and I will definitely grant it to you if I can do it. The three of them listened to what I had to say, and then they left, saying that they would come back to ask me later when they thought of it.

Watching the three of them leave, I shook my head and said with a smile, what a three old naughty boys! Speaking of old naughty boys, I can't help but think of Zhou Botong, the son of the hero Zhou Tong.

I don’t know where Zhou Botong is now, although he is crazy all day long and is useless. But he can have the (Nine Yin Manual) in the future! (Nine Yin Manual) I have been coveting it for a long time, but the five disciples have not yet mastered the powerful internal skills and mental methods!

But I just don’t know whether Zhou Botong and his senior brother Wang Chongyang have handed over the Nine Yin Sutra to him now. Or did Huang Yaoshi and his wife defraud the lower part of the Nine Yin Sutra?

Forget it, don't think about this now. After waiting for a while, I went to travel around the world in person. Let’s see if we can make some powerful internal skills and mental techniques for the disciples to practice. If a powerful martial arts technique appears in such a world, it will cause a bloody storm.

Then I called Shao Chengzhang and asked him to bring me some cotton that he had plucked from the prisoners of Jin and Yuan yesterday. I will teach the eunuchs how to play cotton on site and collect the cotton seeds for large-scale planting next year.

That way I won’t be cold next winter! If there is enough time, our son should be born next year! Then he can wear a cotton-padded jacket!

Soon Shao Chengzhang brought a lot of cotton. Then I led Master Li and the palace maids and eunuchs to pick out the cotton seeds one by one.

After picking the cotton seeds, I asked Shao Chengzhang to find a large bow and replace the bowstring with wire. I took a super big bow and flicked it against the cotton.

As I played, I sang: Play the cotton, play the cotton, and pop out half a pound of cotton eight or two...

Soon the cotton was bouncing like clouds and felt very comfortable and soft. I asked Master Li to find fabrics, and then gave Master Li instructions on how to make cotton-padded clothes. Unexpectedly, Master Li didn't need my guidance at all. She just listened to me and started doing it with her two maids.

Soon Master Li and her two maids made a cotton-padded coat, and the three of them quickly helped me put it on. Ouch, holy shit, it’s so warm! I quickly said to Master Li: You should also quickly make yourself a cotton coat, which is very warm.

By the way, I also made cotton-padded clothes for my six disciples. Not only did they have to study and practice martial arts, it was very hard. After hearing this, Master Li laughed and said: "I know that Your Majesty, you think of your apprentice for all the good things, but don't you miss Sister Yinping?"

After hearing this, I hugged Master Li and said, "Aren't I afraid that you will be unhappy?" I didn’t expect my teacher to be so generous. After saying that, he kissed Master Li on the face. Even now that they are married, Master Li is still blushing.

Looking at the blushing little daughter-in-law Li Shishi, I couldn't help but be fascinated. I really want to take her to the bed right now and ravage her, but I hold back! There’s still business to be done!

I said in Master Li’s ear: After making the cotton-padded clothes, make a quilt for the two of us. Then the two of us can sleep naked together and not be afraid of the cold...
