Regardless of whether the plan is successful or not, the early benefits are definitely there.
The final decision was not to be placed in the court, and it didn’t matter whether or not this agreement was reached. It was just about setting the direction of development for the next few years together.
The result is: strong armament! The princes only agreed to buy wool, and as for the rest, we will see.
I hope that this time His Highness the Prince's Tumu Lixin can really make those soldiers who are just waiting to die feel a little bit more motivated.
I didn't do much work today. As soon as it was time to leave the office, Zhao Zhen called his son back to the inner garden.
The empress is still waiting. Although she already knows the correct process in detail, Empress Cao feels that she can calm down after seeing Xi'er with her own eyes and praising Xi'er sincerely.
With the narration of the conversation between Zhao Xi and the princes, the women in the East Palace and Empress Cao also understood.
Therefore, as soon as the father and son came back, the whole Ciming Palace was full of joy and laughter.
"Xi'er, dad sometimes thinks that maybe it is appropriate for me to abdicate the throne at this time, so that Xi'er can revive the Song Dynasty!"
this……
"Dad, you are embarrassing me! All my affairs are business affairs for merchants, and I am not able to get involved in the important affairs of the court! I hope my father will take back these words!"
How do you say this? Maybe daddy said it because of his feelings, or maybe he had other thoughts in mind.
After all, judging from the attitude of the princes in the court, it seems that they are more submissive and respectful to him, the Crown Prince, than to his father, a government official... Zhao Xi slaps people in the face a lot, and the princes are not stupid either.
Regardless of whether what his father said was true or false, or whether he said it casually. At this time, Zhao Xi must solemnly decline!
This is about heartbeat!
"Guanjia, where did you say this? Look at Xi'er being scared! Why bother?"
Queen Cao looked at Zhao Xi kneeling in front of her and complained a little about Zhao Zhen.
In such a good atmosphere, with just these words, not only Xi'er knelt down, but also several pregnant daughters-in-law. Mrs. Duan was still trembling... What was this doing!
Zhao Zhen really thinks so in his heart! It would be a lie to say that he has no nostalgia for the throne. But his son is not only a good emperor, but also a filial son.
He was just such a son, and the throne was always going to be passed on to him, so what if it was sooner or later?
However, he couldn't say whether he would regret it tomorrow, and he had no idea in the first place.
At least he was sincere when he said this.
Zhao Xi knew very well about his father's temperament, which was why he knelt down and begged his father to take back his words.
What he said at this time was very sincere, but maybe his father would regret it as soon as he returned to the East Palace. He didn't want to create any estrangement between father and son.
"Xi'er, get up! Daddy made a mistake, don't do this..."
Zhao Zhen was helpless and just told the truth. Is this the case for everyone?
It's so bad. It was supposed to be a happy moment, enjoying the family reunion, but because of this sentence, the scene instantly turned cold, and it almost ended on bad terms.
Zhao Zhen also left. On the way to favor Liu Guiren, he really felt that he shouldn't say those words.
Whether it was because it ruined the atmosphere or because it reminded me of the characteristics of the throne, only God knows.
On the way back to the East Palace, no one in the group spoke, they were all thinking about the official's words.
"Third brother..."
The royal family has no family ties, as is recorded in history books. Even Emperor Taizong of this dynasty had rumors of candlelight and ax shadows.
Taoniang was born into a wealthy family, and she had heard some things about her.
It was an obvious fact that the official family only had one son, the third brother, but what the official family said today still made her a little frightened.
As for Duan, she was born in the royal family. Not only did she hear some things, but her father also came to power not long ago, and he still united with the Gao family to push his cousin down.
Now that I have returned to the East Palace, I still keep using my hands and feet.
Su is big-hearted, has experienced battles, and is a pure fan of Xi. She is not worried at all... There is nothing wrong with her man.
"It doesn't matter."
Zhao Xi knew what his father's temper was like, and he thought too much.
"Third brother, why don't you let Zhongzheng know about the escort camp?"
Tao Niang was still worried, and even wanted to tell her cousin to come over and guard her. Maybe she had other ideas.
Zhao Xi glanced at her and simply replied: It doesn't matter.
What a big deal? To say that Zhao Xi is really calm and calm is a lie. But he understands the process and knows better what the result will be.
Early the next morning, Zhao Xi arrived at Chui Gong Hall early as usual, made tea, and waited for his father to come over.
Zhao Xi considered many ways to deal with this matter, such as calling him sick; or going out like a minister to survey water transportation routes, etc.
I have thought about all this, and even thought about how defensive my father really was...
In the end, he chose the same response method as if it never happened. Just pretend that his father never said that...
Other methods are also methods. With my father's temperament, no matter what, it will not change the fact that he will inherit the throne.
There is no need to change, he is the only one!
When Zhao Zhen entered the palace gate and saw his son as usual, his expression instantly brightened.
He is not a big-hearted person. On the contrary, he is very delicate and considerate of everyone. Except for the occasional convulsion, he is basically gentle with others.
From last night to this morning, he thought over and over again about what he said... He said it unintentionally, but listened with intention.
In that case, if the emperor said it, there would be too many reactions.
So, I didn't even sleep well all night.
He has always been a kind father and a filial son, but he was worried that these words would ruin the harmony between father and son for more than ten or twenty years.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhen felt relieved when he saw that his son still had the same expression after making tea.
"Daddy, drink tea first. Then the baby will massage daddy."
Sigh... My body is weak and my heart is not big, so don't make any mistakes. Take a look and see if you slept well and your face looks ugly.
Zhao Xi was also speechless towards his father.
Zhao Zhen accepted it happily. Well, this means that there is no gap or estrangement between father and son. This is good, very good.
The Cuju newspaper in Bianliang City published a recruitment notice in an inconspicuous place. It was strange that some military sect or general had shown mercy.
The notice stated that a number of women were needed to work as spinners, and the wages were quite generous, almost as much as the income of a normal coolie.
There is just one requirement: there needs to be soldiers in the family, that is, the spinner must be the family member of the soldiers.
Those who are interested can ask the soldiers at the designated place.
At the same time, news also spread among the military personnel on Jingdong Road and Jingxi Road. It was said that those who transferred from the army to civilian status and worked in Bianliang Qianjian, their family members could work as spinners.
It turned out that the Crown Prince was recruiting workers some time ago, and the wages at the Dongchuan Copper and Iron Mine were higher than those at Qianjian, which made people who didn't want to leave their hometown feel a bit sad.
As a result, we now have this opportunity again.
It was also during this time that Zhao Qin, accompanied by his chamberlain, visited the homes of some court officials above the fifth rank...
Whether you know it or not, this is happening in a very unique way.
