Li Yuan smiled and looked at his subordinates: "Still so impetuous."
The Minister of the Ministry of War frowned and said: "Mr. Li, although our Ministry of War can now make the black gunpowder, but if it really wants to be used in the military, we have to find Zhao Kang, the inventor of gunpowder."
"If Mr. Li had spoken to protect him before, wouldn't he have forged a good relationship?"
Li Yuan laughed and said: "Is your boy studying black gunpowder and becoming a demon?"
The minister's eyes lit up: "If this thing can really be used in war and military affairs, I dare say that my soldiers will no longer be afraid of any country in the future. This is a sharp weapon that can determine the world."
Li Yuan stroked his beard: "I don't know this, but you saw it just now. Zhao Kang is interesting, but he is a loner."
Gu Chen, to explain, means he cannot be an official.
In Li Yuan's view, even though the two of the three princes, Taifu Zhao and Taishi Yang, were not as powerful as the six ministers of the imperial court, they were of the same rank.
But status is real!
In the end, Zhao Kang didn't give in. He scolded the two of them and fainted one after another. He and Li Yuan felt happy hearing this, but it was not easy to take action at that time.
In addition, having figured out Zhao Kang's temperament, it would be difficult for such a person to survive in the officialdom, so he could only suppress his thoughts of helping Zhao Kang.
"Those two old guys just wanted Zhao Kang to teach in the Shang Shufang, and were afraid that Zhao Kang would take over their position in the future." The Minister of War said angrily.
Li Yuan knocked down a chestnut: "You brat, why don't you imitate Zhao Kang?"
The waiter rubbed his head and laughed: "I just cursed behind my back, but it sounds really relieved."
"Who says it's not?" Li Yuan also chuckled.
Although he didn't know why Zhao Kang was targeted by a Grand Master and a Grand Tutor, he could guess it.
Whether it is a Taishi, a Taifu or a Taibao, they all teach the emperor.
Although today's empress is both civilized and military, she is still a woman after all!
Moreover, the behavior of Her Majesty the Empress is almost telling everyone that she, Xiao Linglong, is the acting emperor, and the world will still be handed over to Xiao Xuance in the future.
Otherwise, how could you hate iron so much?
Once His Highness Xuance comes to Dabao, a group of people from Zhan Shifu will be able to ascend to heaven. How could these two old men let a young boy like Zhao Kang become this person?
You must know that one of the three elders is still missing a Taibao. Obviously, the two old guys hope that the future Taibao will be one of their own.
Li Yuan sighed, but he didn't know if Zhao Kang could see this. The water in the court was deep.
This way.
When Zhao Kang returned to his residence, he was not at all as depressed and angry as outsiders imagined.
Instead, he walked in the yard with his hands behind his back full of expectation.
"After this incident, you probably won't be able to become a Beijing official, right?"
You bitch, you have seen it, I am not suitable to be an official in the imperial capital, please demote me back to Yuanjiang County as soon as possible.
No matter how stupid you are, you know who you can and cannot mess with.
If Zhao Kang was really a fool, those people in Yuanjiang County would have starved to death long ago. The reason why they are so unafraid is simply because they are sure that Xiao Linglong will not kill him now.
And, he really wants to go back to Yuanjiang County!
Staying in this imperial capital for just one day makes me feel exhausted.
However, after waiting for a full hour and still not receiving the imperial edict, Zhao Kang was furious. He looked in the direction of the palace and thought, Damn it, I'm already like this, why don't I belittle you?
A figure appeared at the gate.
He carries a birdcage, has a jade belt around his waist, is dressed in silk, and has his long hair combed meticulously. He looks like the kind of handsome young man in troubled times that the storyteller said.
"Master Zhao!"
The person who came was Wang San. He saw that this guy Zhao Kang had no interest and casually said hello. He was still waiting for the imperial edict to be demoted.
Wang San was stunned: "What's wrong, Mr. Zhao? Why are you so downcast?"
"Nothing, why is Mr. Wang here?" Zhao Kang raised his eyebrows.
Wang Sanyile: "Mr. Zhao, you said you wanted to treat me to a drink a few days ago. How many days has it been? It's been almost half a month. How many times have you treated me like this?"
Damn it, are you so thick-skinned?
"Ahem, cough, cough, I'm really busy with official duties, so I forgot about it." Zhao Kang made up a lie.
Wang San rolled his eyes: "You, a sixth-grade minister, can only do the internal affairs of the palace. How can you be busy with official business?"
Zhao Kang: "You look down on people, don't you? What's wrong with the sixth rank, so you can't have official duties?"
"Okay, okay, Mr. Zhao has served the country and the people, and he is the great master of our country. Are you okay now? Come on, I'll treat you to a drink. Xian'er still missed you last time I saw you." Wang San smiled narrowly. .
Looking at Wang San, Zhao Kang murmured in his heart, but now that he has been dismissed from his post and suspended from his salary, he really has nothing to do. It would be good to see who this guy is.
He agreed immediately.
"First let's talk about your treat."
"I know, I know, you'd better keep your salary." Wang San laughed.
The two of them went out side by side as if they were close friends, and went to the Chunfeng Tower where Wang San had entertained him. It was still the same magnificent hall.
Look past the crowds of guests.
It's just broad daylight, so he must be restrained, Zhao Kang thought to himself.
Wang San was obviously prepared and took Zhao Kang directly to the private seating on the third floor.
The waiter in the restaurant opened the window and asked Wang San: "Sir, can we serve the food?"
"Serve the food, I'm starving to death." Wang San said and put the bird cage away.
Zhao Kang looked out the window. This should be the best place in Chunfeng Tower. He could see most of the palace through the window.
The girl Xian'er whom I met last time and another woman with a fiery figure and a demonic face came in, their mouths full of promiscuous smells.
"Master Wang, Mr. Zhao hasn't been here for a long time."
After saying that, he sat next to Zhao Kang naturally. This girl is so delicious!
Zhao Kang smiled and did not refuse the beauty's hospitality. Wang San joked: "We, Zhao Qingtian, are very busy with official duties."
"No wonder Xian'er saw that Mr. Zhao has lost weight."
Zhao Kang raised his eyebrows and stared at the murder weapon used to assassinate him: "I think you have gained weight."
Laughter spread.
The delicacies were served one after another. Zhao Kang took a look and showed no interest. The cooking methods of this era were too spicy. Even in Yuanjiang County, the cooks in Yuanjiang County began to use heavy oil and salt under his training to make the food taste delicious.
Wang San picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth, smacking his lips: "It's really boring."
Zhao Kang said casually: "It's not like this all over the country."
Wang San smiled playfully: "That's not necessarily true. Come on, let me show you something good."
As he spoke, he took out a small jade bottle from under the jade belt around his waist. The interest of Zhao Kang and the others was aroused. The woman next to Wang San asked: "Master, what good thing is this?"
"As long as you put a little bit of this thing, the dishes will become very tasty." Wang San watched Zhao Kang open the jade bottle and shake out some fine white powder.
Zhao Kang's eyelids twitched. What Wang San poured out was none other than the fine salt secretly sold in Yuanjiang County!
