Until Zhao Xi's concubine matters were settled, the court had not decided on his duties.
They also obeyed. Apart from daily official duties, these courtiers spent the rest of their time bickering.
Fortunately, those who have seen what Zhao Xi can do do not take a stand. The husband-in-laws do not express their opinions easily. Whether it is Wen Yanbo or Fu Bi, they are very worried about being slapped in the face by Zhao Xi if they are inappropriate.
As for the quarrel between the following people, there is no way to say whether Zhizai was instigating it behind the scenes.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, I hope the imperial court will put an end to the discussion about Xi's duties. Xi feels that the Ordnance Supervisor and the Mint have reached the limit of their energy, so they should not argue about this anymore."
Another morning meeting, Zhao Xi said nothing. This was also the first time Zhao Xi spoke on his job.
They won, and the royal family compromised. The royal family should have been the party to compromise, and it has been so for these years. It should be that except for Taizu Taizong, the royal family has always been the one to compromise.
Just like Kou Xianggong could force the former emperor to personally conquer.
Zhao Zhen had a solid foundation, and his son showed him the truth and knew some of his thoughts. But when his son said these words in the court, he still felt aggrieved, which was stronger than the feeling of compromising himself.
His face was a little awkward and his expression looked heavy.
It's different, it's really different. Xi'er has always had smooth sailing since he was young, whether he is a scholar or a civilian, it is not even lower than the reputation he brought due to his kindness.
This time, with the achievements of the Southern Expedition, I could not get the job I wanted to do...
It's a pity that not many people care about his face. Not to mention that it's a bit ugly, even if he is angry, no one cares. On the contrary, it will arouse more people's fighting spirit.
After Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi heard Zhao Xi's words, their eyes brightened... Has His Highness the Crown Prince compromised?
How is that possible? During this period of time, the two of them have not said anything about the Crown Prince's duties. They are just waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince's back-up plan.
Although Zuo Siyou couldn't think of any other way, he still didn't express his position easily... The crowd in the court was already agitated. Zhang Fangping and the people who joined him had been drowned by all kinds of comments in the court, so there was no need to add insult to injury.
The question is, how could His Royal Highness compromise?
The idea of His Highness the Crown Prince's duties was by no means Zhang Fangping's own idea. If it were to be the weapons supervisor and coinage supervisor, it would be fair to say that. However, the survey field, water transportation and iron supervision had nothing to do with the abilities displayed by His Highness the Crown Prince.
Obviously, His Highness the Crown Prince should have communicated with Zhang Fangping. In other words, these are the things His Highness the Crown Prince wants to acquire. Just compromise like this?
Di Qing was also confused.
Due to the achievements of the Southern Expedition, Di Qing is now considered to be in charge, deputy privy envoy.
When Zhang Fangping's memorial was being discussed in the court, Di Qing unknowingly waved the flag and shouted. As a result, everyone was spitting on him, regardless of whether they agreed with Zhang Fangping or not.
I have never seen the affairs of the court, let alone understand the behavior of military commanders in the court.
The first time he made a speech in the court, he was beaten by the entire civil servants in the court. As for the generals, they all watched their noses and their hearts. Even the Cao family and the Gao family quietly spoke.
Di Qing was originally a cautious person and should not have behaved so recklessly, but like Zhao Xi, he had no idea what was going on.
I even thought this was a thankless job.
It was indeed a thankless effort, but what he thought was a thankless effort was different from what Zhang Fangping thought.
Di Qing also thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would not compromise, and there must be other ways... His Highness the Crown Prince was always very imaginative. He could not think of anything that His Highness could not think of.
But now, His Royal Highness has actually compromised!
Thinking about those people who abandoned the city and fled in Guangnan, Di Qing couldn't help but worry about these people... Just wait, His Highness the Crown Prince will let you know how painful it is.
Di Qing firmly believes in this!
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Wen Yanbo seconded His Highness the Crown Prince's request. Guangnan's pacifying envoys have reported many times, mentioning the convenience of bedding in the guard camp and the strength of the armor."
"Now the imperial court should equip the imperial army with these two items. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of the Arms Supervisor. It is the time when the country is equipping new armors and the power of the camp firearms must be gradually promoted. In this way, the Arms Supervisor is bound to have affairs.
busy."
"I hope your majesty will grant your request..."
Is this considered reciprocating love? Zhao Xi couldn't help but think so after hearing what Wen Yanbo said.
It had been so long since he returned from the Southern Expedition, and Yu Jing's book had long been buried in dust. But Zhao Xi had not yet heard that the imperial court had any intention of promoting it.
It must be the first time today, right? It must be the first time, just look at the performance of various courtiers. I guess Fu Bi is the only one who knows this trump card.
When Di Qing heard this again...he didn't know. Even though he was considered a privy deputy, he was not regarded as a person at all.
However, those are just minor details. If the imperial army is really equipped with the armor of the guard camp and equipped with firearms... this can be regarded as the most satisfying court discussion that Di Qing has heard since entering the court.
Wen Yanbo is a mature politician and the person with the most basic qualities of a politician. This skill is quite beautiful.
It is true that he is from the north, and he is in the position of being in charge. He cannot go into battle naked and interfere with whether His Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of water transportation.
Now that His Highness the Crown Prince has taken a step back, he should be given some sweet treats.
The key is that the promotion of armor will inevitably increase the demand for iron ore, which means that Xuzhou Railway Supervision and Water Transport will benefit from this.
At the same time, everyone knows that the business of guarding the bedding in the camp is the job of the inner garden.
This way, there are benefits to everyone, and they probably have nothing to say and are reluctant to refute again.
The key is that he also wants to see the benefits of His Highness the Crown Prince's starting a new business as soon as possible... No! Wen Yanbo suddenly understood that starting a new business, even one in which his own family is involved, is what His Highness the Crown Prince slaps those people in the face!
Hope it's not too harsh.
In fact, these are not what Zhao Xi thought about. Zhao Xi's real purpose is only to mint coins. Of course, weapons supervision is also one of the purposes. It is a means to ensure that he achieves his goal.
As for water transportation, railway supervision, and the market, they were originally extended to armaments and coinage. Zhao Xi just hoped that his intervention would ensure his own demand for copper and iron.
Since there was no way to go to the court, he took the path of a merchant.
Once he has started to treat people and sees the benefits, he is not worried that no one will be tempted.
During this southern expedition, whether in Annan or Dali, he discovered that the currency of the dynasty was universal in both countries.
He had asked and knew that the currencies of the dynasties could be used in Tubo, Daxia, and even Liao, as well as in distant Goryeo and Fusang.
Is there any sharper weapon than currency?
Now, copper is available, manganese is available, and even zinc is available. Once the channels are unblocked, the rest... don't let the supervisor discuss the market, and just conduct transactions as a merchant. Is this the summary?
In the court, as far as the people in the court saw, they really took it as a profit. Zhao Xi wanted them to see what is a benefit and what is not a petty profit.
