Chapter 813: If you turn your face, you will turn your face
Ever since Xu Zizhen found out that Master Qi was Zhao Gou, he has been trying his best to assist him, give him advice, solve problems for him, and his true journey almost cost his life, but now, Zhao Gou is determined to send someone to
Learn from him.
This is not learning at all. It is clearly because he is afraid of Xu Zizhen and is wary of him. How can this not make him feel chilled?
A surge of anger arose in Xu Zizhen's heart, and he almost flipped the table and went into a rage, but in the end his reason overcame his impulse and he took a deep breath to suppress it.
"Learn from me? I'm afraid that's not appropriate." Xu Zizhen took a sip from the wine glass, covering up his slight gaffe, while his mind was racing, thinking of the wording of rejection.
Zhao Gou smiled and asked, "Oh? Is it possible that my wise brother teaches people to choose carefully?"
There were already thorns in these words, but Xu Zizhen pretended not to hear it, filled Zhao Gou's cup with a smile and said: "You are right, not everyone can learn the gunpowder mechanism, it also depends on talent."
Zhao Gou said: "That's easy, I'll send more people over, and you can just take your time and choose."
Xu Zizhen was speechless. Zhao Gou was determined to put people in, but he was also determined not to do so. He originally planned to destroy those firearms after the war was over and not leave them in the world. If Zhao Gou was
We don’t know what the world would be like if we retained these technologies from hundreds of years ago.
"It's better to avoid it. You also know that I am very lazy. I don't have time to spend time with my wife and children. Why should I teach students? Besides, these firearms are enough for a golden man to drink a pot. There is no need to develop any new products."
Xu Zizhen's repeated rejections finally made Zhao Gou unhappy. He was still a prince after all, and Xu Zizhen himself revealed that he would do great things in the future, insinuating that he could achieve great things. Since he was the future emperor, how could he dare to disobey him?
What do you mean? Isn’t this resistance?
Zhao Gou looked at the wine glass in his hand, slowly circling the rim of the glass with his index finger, and said calmly: "Zizhen, I am also thinking about the future of my country, so you'd better think about it."
Xu Zizhen drank the wine in the glass and said, "Okay, I'll think about it...it's getting late, I have to go back to accompany my wife, and I say goodbye to Master Qi." After that, he stood up and left.
A small drink ended unhappily. Speaking of which, this was the first time that Xu Zizhen and Zhao Gou had a conflict since they met. Although they didn't really fall out, they already had feelings for each other.
Zhao Gou's eyes still did not leave the wine glass, calling: "Yan Zhao."
Yan Zhao appeared in response: "My subordinates are here."
"Send the person to Xu Mansion immediately."
"This is."
Xu Zizhen came to the government office with Zhao Gou. He didn't ride a horse, so he simply walked home after going out. The sky gradually darkened. In the twelfth lunar month, Yingtian Mansion was as cold as a dog, and the north wind blew on his face like a knife. Xu Zizhen was completely unaware.
Don't worry, just calm down.
Along the way, he was thinking about what happened today, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.
He found that he had made a huge mistake, that is, he should not have revealed so much information to Zhao Gou so early. The most terrible thing was the word "future". In Zhao Gou's view, he was a half-immortal.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with what he said, but the problem lies here. Zhao Gou believed what he said, so he entered the state of being an emperor early. Unlike in the original history, he lived in fear all the time. Not long after he ascended the throne, he was killed by the Jin Dynasty.
The people fled south and retreated to Lin'an, where they lived until they died of old age.
Snap!
Xu Zizhen slapped himself in the mouth and cursed fiercely: "You are so mean-mouthed."
The pain came and he bared his teeth. Zhao Gou was already afraid of him. Even if he beat himself to death, it would not change the fact. But he was a young man from New China more than 800 years later. At that time, there were only national leaders.
There is no emperor, so even if he traveled to the Song Dynasty, he never took the emperor seriously.
In the past, he was only polite to Zhao Gou because of his great ambition to save the Song Dynasty from the Jin people and even the Mongols in the future, so he went out of his way to be the first person around Zhao Gou, but now it seems that
I was still too naive. In history, everyone who could become an emperor was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and not just anyone could easily become the emperor's confidant.
For the sake of confidentiality, Xu Zizhen hid many things from everyone. He said that Zhao Gou didn't know about the hundreds of thousands of troops that resisted Wu Shu this time. Zhao Gou didn't know about the new weapons and the chessboard tunnel outside the city. Naturally, it would inevitably attract Zhao Gou.
It is human nature to be dissatisfied with Gou Gou, but it is helpless for Xu Zizhen to keep it secret. Couldn't Zhao Gou be more considerate?
As the saying goes, drinking to soothe one's sorrow makes it worse. Xu Zizhen wanted to use the cold wind to calm himself down, but he couldn't calm down more and more. Firstly, because he had tried so hard to do so many things, but in the end, Zhao Gou was against him.
The second reason for his fear and precaution is that he has foreseen his future. If the current situation continues, there will be no way to escape the destruction of the Nine Clans.
When Xu Zizhen thought of this, he was completely pissed off. Could it be that I went all the way to the Northern Song Dynasty to be beheaded? Damn it, I quit. The transformation of the Northern Song Dynasty into the Southern Song Dynasty is none of my business, the rise and fall of the world is none of my business, everything is none of my business?
Unknowingly, he had returned home. The words "Xu Mansion" in gold letters on a black background were very eye-catching in the cold dusk. Xu Zizhen shook his head, put aside those bad things for the time being, and strode towards the door.
There are still so many lovely wives to accompany him at home, and his child will be born soon. No matter what, this is something that makes him really happy.
But as soon as he stepped into the door, he noticed something was wrong. In the courtyard inside the door, there were two rows of young people standing neatly, one in white cloth and one in blue turban, standing there quietly, as if waiting for someone, and the Xu family's
The concierge kept persuading them, rubbing his hands together and looking anxious.
Xu Zizhen walked in, took a quick look, and asked the concierge: "What's wrong? What does this mean?"
When the concierge turned around and saw that it was him, he hurriedly greeted him: "Sir, you are back. These dolls said they came to our house to be your apprentices."
The fire that Xu Zizhen finally put away suddenly burst out again. Zhao Gou was fast enough. Before he got home, people had already arrived. Was he planning to grab the duck's neck and pour chaff into it?
Since Zhao Gou was not particular about it, Xu Zizhen was not going to be polite. He pointed at the door and said, "I have no interest and no time to accept some bullshit apprentices. Go back to where they came from."
The group of young men in white clothes did not expect that Xu Zizhen would have such an attitude, and they were all stunned. The first young man said bravely: "Mr. Xu Da, we are appointed by King Kang Qiansui, sir..."
Xu Zizhen's face sank: "Can't you understand people? Get out!"
Fuck, if you fall out, you'll fall out, I'm afraid of hair?!
