The wedding at this time also started getting busy early in the morning.
For example, Zhao Xi, early in the morning, during his usual exercise time, there were officials from the Ministry of Rites accompanying him to perform various prayers.
From the Ancestral Temple, to the ancestral temple, and then to the parents' high hall, after going through the entire process of informing the people that the prince has grown up, it is already dusk when the prince is married, and the word "marriage" is truly reflected.
Zhao Xi was a little overwhelmed. The little girl who had been playing with him since she was three or four years old grew up and was his wife from now on, the crown princess of the Song Dynasty and the future queen.
The four female officials originally assigned to the palace, as well as Taoniang's maid who was matched with the Gao family, that is, the maid, and some people who are not fully alive, are all the people in Zhao Xi's master bedroom now... all derivatives.
Taste.
At this time, there was also a bridal chamber on the wedding day. The meaning of this bridal chamber was just to let the crown princess change into the phoenix crown and harem that made Zhao Xi feel tired. It did not mean that the marriage would be consummated on the wedding day.
Zhao Xi liked this rule so much. Not only was he in a state of exhaustion after a long day, but he was talking about the group of people in the bedroom... his scalp was numb just thinking about it.
Finally, I can delay it for a day... That's what Zhao Xi is thinking about now. If he can delay it for a day, it will be a day.
Paying respects to uncle... This term is interesting. When greeting the parents-in-law in the early morning, the noun is to pay respects to uncle, but Tao Niang calls her father and mother along with her...
You always have to become an adult. Marrying the Crown Princess back means that the Crown Prince has become an adult.
This process has always been focused on by dedicated personnel and will continue until the Crown Princess is pregnant.
In particular, there were rumors in the market that the Crown Prince had a hidden illness, which made the palace and the court pay close attention to His Royal Highness.
It was not a big deal at first, and her parents knew about the situation, but there were too many rumors in the market. Even Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao were worried that Xi'er might have some hidden disease, which would make it difficult for the heirs to continue.
Therefore, Zhao Xi had to prove that the rumors were wrong, and Zhao Xi did this.
After getting married, Zhao Xi still got up on time at Yinshi and was escorted out of the palace by the palace maids.
Every day I would meet the old eunuch waiting outside the door and examine her body... I will not care about these things, I hope I will only record Tao Niang's belongings.
One month, one month after the prince's wedding, the prince's concubine became pregnant, so the rumors became rumors and not true.
The next days passed normally. After all, Zhao Xi is not a young man who only knows the taste after eating the marrow. Regarding this matter, his state of mind can easily control his desires.
…
Zhao Xi can now come and go between the East Palace and the guard camp openly.
Zhao Xi, a civil and military official in the guard camp, originally wanted to use it as a seed, but as a result, the seeds not only sprouted, but also grew into trees, and they were still left in the guard camp.
"Your Highness, although the name of your guard camp has been changed, it is essentially restoring the East Palace system. Whether it is the sixth rate or the subordinate officer, the civil and military officials of the guard camp today are just like the subordinate officers of the East Palace."
This is what teacher Pang Ji and Xianggong Pang told Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi also understood why the scholars did not compete for the guidance of the guard camp in the beginning. He also understood that over the years, the grades of the teachings in the guard camp had been improved, but they were still welded to death in the guard camp.
This is true even for civil servants, let alone generals.
Reality never turns out according to his imagination, and Zhao Xi is helpless.
Just wait, there will be a day when the court will open the passage for the guard camp! Zhao Xi is convinced that there is no need to wait until the day he ascends the throne.
Su Song is indeed an interesting person. In the past few years, he has spent all his free time in the workshop, constantly changing his tricks to make useful or useless things based on the principle of the spray gun.
A great craftsman did not dare to say that Su Song was a teacher, a Jinshi, and a civil servant. How could he, a craftsman, dare to interfere in other people's affairs?
Seeing such a waste, the master once secretly told Zhao Xi that he thought Professor Su was spending too much money.
Zhao Xi agreed very much with Su Song's approach. Regardless of the advancement of technology or craftsmanship, including practical products, nothing has gone through thousands of experiments.
As far as the income from the guard camp is concerned, Su Song can afford to do whatever he wants.
Zhao Xi was not very clear about the various current levels of craftsmanship, but Su Song was clear about it. He had some concepts or ideas on his own, but no one understood them, and he was worried that they were too shocking.
This is good. Having such a subordinate who is so interested in so-called technology can save him a lot of trouble and he can also achieve his goals on the basis of reality.
For example, today, Su Song finally completed the casting of the iron cannon and tested it more than ten times without any explosion or cracks.
The country was short of copper, and even the proportion of lead and copper in coinage was adjusted again and again, until after each coinage, within a year or two, it would be abandoned by the market.
Su Song has been looking for ways to reduce the cost of the fire system, constantly improving the steelmaking process, and constantly adding some random ores into the pig iron.
"Your Highness, I would like to add this thing when frying steel..."
This...isn't this black manganese ore?
Zhao Xi still knows that manganese ore is the main raw material for the steel industry in later generations. It can improve the ductility, malleability, toughness and wear resistance of steel.
"Where did this come from?"
Now that it is confirmed to be manganese ore, Su Song has once again been convinced that adding manganese ore can change the properties of steel. Naturally, the next step is to promote it at least in the guard camp.
"My uncle works in Guangnan and knows that I like this kind of things, so he asked someone to bring them to me."
Alas! Zhao Xi understood that Su Song had done this to himself just so that he could purchase manganese ore in large quantities through the court...
This old boy thinks too highly of himself. It doesn't mean that since he is an adult, he can point fingers in the court at will... As of now, he is still in a state of listening to the government and has no specific duties at all.
How can I say this? There are different opinions since the founding of the country by Emperor Taizong and the accession of Emperor Taizong to the throne.
Next, my grandfather, Zhenzong, ascended the throne in a hurry and ascended the throne the same month he was established as the crown prince. In my father's generation, he ascended the throne from a child...
This resulted in the fact that there was no precedent for a prince to serve as an adult, and there was no reference for it, so it became a chaotic issue in the court.
These days, the prince's ministry is almost full of turmoil.
Following the rules of the Tang Dynasty, some people listed the bloody palaces of the previous dynasties and proposed new rules, which would be even more confusing. Some wanted to restore Taizong's old rules, while others felt that the focus should be on the court rather than the governance of a city. There were even some
Those who suggested colluding with the Imperial Academy and taking the imperial examination...
In the end, there is still no conclusion. If you are tired of arguing, take a break. When someone mentions it again, we will continue to argue.
Zhao Xi is going to talk to the court about this now? Let's forget it.
But the matter of the manganese mine is really important to the guard camp and, more broadly speaking, to the entire country.
This really embarrassed Zhao Xi.
"Your Highness..."
How could he forget this? When Cao Lin called Zhao Xi, he remembered that he made a living by making food when he was a child. Since biscuits can be sold to all the military states of the country, it means that he already has a sales network all over the military states.
"Teacher Su, I will take care of the ore matter. You can extend the use of this steel, such as armor..."
