Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 35

"Hey, hey, get up! The sun is shining on your butt."

Early in the morning, in a hazy state, Zhao Guangmei felt like someone was spanking her.

"Who?"

When he turned around and saw that it was Zhao Guanglan, he couldn't help being startled, and he quickly sat up and pulled up his pants.

"What are you doing!"

"Hey, it's different when you get married. I won't let you see it?"

Zhao Guangmei couldn't help but blush, and cursed angrily: "You have nothing to do, are you a sister like you? Why did you come to my room so early in the morning? Huh? Where is my wife?"

"Your wife was called away early in the morning by her sister-in-law. She wants to have the harem pay for it, and build a place in the palace that specializes in surgery and new medical techniques. She will train a large number of female officers and doctors, and she will also try what you mentioned. Insulin purification.”

"Then what are you doing here? What time is it?"

"What time is it? Today seems to be your first day of work. Did you forget? It's not good to be late on your first day."

"I'm not the military governor yet, so what kind of job do I have to do? Isn't my Jing Zhaoyin a vacuous post?"

"Privy Council! You are a direct bachelor of the Privy Council! Have you forgotten?"

"Oh, it's so annoying. I don't want to be Zhao Pu's follower. I was reading and studying yesterday and it was very late. Please let me sleep a little longer."

"No, you have to go."

"No."

Zhao Guanglan took out a rolling pin and said, "If you don't go, I'll beat you."

"I... aren't you going to get married? You are going to harm Gao Huaide, why are you harming me!"

"It's just because I'm getting married, so if I don't bully him, I won't be able to bully him anymore."

"........."

Zhao Guangmei had no choice but to give in. In the Zhao family, he even dared to offend Zhao Kuangyin, but he couldn't afford to offend his eldest sister. She really beat her up!

She even dared to beat Zhao Kuangyin!

Zhao Guangmei had no choice but to succumb to her lustful power. After getting dressed, she went to the Privy Council to report. Of course, she also had a copy of Spring and Autumn in her hand, ready to read while fishing in the class. She couldn't help but mutter in her heart: "Really, there is no one who looks like a royal relative in this big family of my own. It would be a waste to live in this palace for you."

Soon, Zhao Guangmei came to the Privy Council listlessly and reluctantly said hello to the people working in the Privy Council. These so-called colleagues would definitely not be able to work with him for a long time. It would not take long for his eldest brother to let the Privy Council President It was a blood exchange, so he and these remnants of the previous dynasty were actually too lazy to take advantage of it.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a person at the door rushing to greet him, smiling and saying: "Three Great Kings, you are here, I will take you to your mansion."

"Ok?"

Zhao Guangmei was stunned and couldn't help but rub her eyes: "Yang Ye? Why are you here? Oh, by the way, I have been busy with my mother's illness recently and forgot about you. What is your current position?"

"With the blessing of the three great kings, I am temporarily appointed...deputy deputy of the reviewing room."

"The submission to the review room? Or the deputy? Oh~, then we have become colleagues, but this should be a temporary assignment for you. Don't worry, I will officially use you soon. Talents like you are It will definitely come in handy, are you... waiting for me here specifically?"

"The three great kings are as kind to the little man as a mountain. I heard that you are going to take office today, so I specially waited for you."

"Have a heart."

Of course, it's also because he is really free.

His official position is obviously nonsense, and there is nothing for him to do. However, Zhao Guangmei can figure out Zhao Kuangyin's thoughts. If he drinks to release his military power, the entire Forbidden Army system must be greatly changed. From the upper level to the middle level and even the lower level, he will know it. Large-scale exchanges are being carried out, so at this time, if there are talents, they will definitely not rush to throw them into the Forbidden Army. Instead, they will be placed in the Privy Council and wait until the reform of the Forbidden Army is completed.

The Five Dynasties period was purely military politics. There were more military men than civilian officials in the various positions in the Privy Council, so there was nothing wrong with this arrangement. When the time came for a major change in the Forbidden Army, there would naturally be many suitable positions available.

However, Yang Ye definitely doesn't know these things. After all, he is a reduced general. He may not know where the doors of each yamen in the Forbidden Army open. In addition, the current style of the army is still the Five Dynasties, not to mention that it is for the general. , even the soldiers hugged each other very hard. He couldn't find an organization as an outsider, and I'm afraid no one would take him to play at all.Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin threw him to the Privy Council and sat on a cold bench, he naturally began to worry about gains and losses.

Zhao Guangmei guessed what he was thinking, so she gave him a reassurance in her first sentence, telling him that he would definitely use him in the future, but for more situations, it was definitely impossible to tell him. As for whether he believed it or not, Then Zhao Guangmei couldn't help it.

Thinking about it, the famous Yang family generals should have such a little patience, right?
"Then I accept your auspicious words from the Third King. The job I am currently on does not involve serious official duties. If the Three Great Kings have any assignments, they can instruct Yang to do it."

Zhao Guangmei said, half jokingly and half seriously: "Is there something I can ask you to do? Is it okay with private matters? Then if after a while I become a military governor and open a government, and I want you to be my minister, will you be willing?"

"Are the three kings going to add military envoys again so soon?"

"For me, it's just a matter of digging around."

Yang Ye thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "If the three kings don't give up, Yang should follow him."

Zhao Guangmei was slightly surprised, but still said: "You have to think clearly, if you become my minister, and if my second brother or Zhao'er becomes the new king in the future, if they suspect me, you are a great general. , but it’s about to be buried, think carefully before answering.”

"The three great kings are capable of bringing peace and stability to the country. I don't believe that I will be buried if I follow you."

"Really?"

"From the bottom of my heart."

"Hahahaha"

Zhao Guangmei couldn't help laughing, and then patted Yang Ye on the shoulder and said: "My small temple cannot support a big Buddha like you. If you enter my house, you will be overqualified and it will be a loss to the country. Don’t belittle yourself, the world is vast and you will have great achievements in the future, maybe there will be a day when I can ask for you.”

Yang Ye smiled bitterly when he heard this: "If such a day really comes, it will be a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire. If you say a word, Third Young Master, Yang will definitely be obliged to do so."

But he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

After all, normally speaking, it would be difficult for him, Yang Ye, to stand out in the Song Dynasty, not only because of his status as a reduced general, but also because the structure of the Imperial Army in the Northern Song Dynasty was too young at this time.

He, Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide, Zhang Lingduo and other more than ten current senior officials of the Forbidden Army are almost all of the same age, and they are not much different in age. All of them are Zhao Kuangyin's sworn brothers. How can he compare with them? , when these people survive until they retire, they will probably be unable to walk.The Privy Council was not very big in total, and Yang Ye and I had only walked a few steps. As we were talking, we walked to our own mansion. Zhao Guangmei naturally asked Yang Ye to go in with him, and also said that she would make a pot of tea and chat with him more. .

As soon as he opened the door and walked in, he saw Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu in the public house, sitting upright and chatting.

"Second brother, Brother Pu, here you are, what are you talking about? Why don't you make some tea? Is there any tea in this house? Make some, preferably some tea. It's really uncomfortable to have no taste in your mouth when you wake up in the morning. I don't even have breakfast." None of them were eaten.”

When Zhao Pu saw him coming in, he smiled and cupped his hands with him, but Zhao Guangyi said with a straight face: "Third brother, it's inappropriate to be late on the first day of duty. The Privy Council is an important place in the imperial court. Now that you're here, If you are on a mission, you should be careful in your words and deeds, and you should pay more attention to your appearance and not lose your dignity, you know?"

Zhao Guangmei saw that there were only two seats for them to sit on. He was small, so he simply sat down on the table. He threw the spring and autumn he carried with him on the table and said with a smile: "Second brother, you are such an official." It’s only been a few days, why are you pretending to be like this?”

"You...you are fooling around, look at you, what do you look like? Come down, come down."

"Oh."

Zhao Guangmei came down, but after looking around for a while, she couldn't find a stool, so she simply squatted down next to the two of them.

"Third brother, after all, this place is not like home. You have always been frivolous. My mother and eldest brother thought you were young, so they always let you go. But things are different from the past. You are now a national treasurer. You need to be more mature and steady."

When Zhao Guangmei heard this, she looked at Zhao Guangyi seriously, then burst into laughter: "Are you mature and steady like this?"

However, I saw that Zhao Guangyi, who was actually in his early twenties this year, actually had a large ring of beard stuck to his mouth. It was quite long. For a moment, he was short of hands and couldn't help but want to reach out and grab it.

Zhao Guangyi slapped his hand off: "Don't make trouble."

"Your shoulders look wider. Are you wearing paper shells under your clothes? Isn't it hot? Do you think it makes you taller and more powerful? Or does it make you more mature?"

Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but blush, and then he reprimanded angrily: "Don't make trouble, this is a military base, don't always act like you are at home. Since you are married, you are an adult, so you have to act like an adult."

"Uh-huh."

Zhao Guangmei nodded perfunctorily.

"Second brother, what are you doing here?"

"I, I am here just to urge you to do your job well and listen to Brother Pu, do you know? I know you are eager to do things, but you are still young after all, and your task now is to study hard."

"Um……"

Zhao Guangmei had an old complaint in her stomach and didn't know how to vomit it up.

He believed that Zhao Kuangyi at this time had no ill intentions towards him. After all, no matter how magical power was, it would not make people pervert as soon as it was touched.

But why does it sound so pretentious?
While talking, Zhao Guangyi also noticed Yang Ye standing at the door, who seemed a little embarrassed. He wanted to leave but didn't know whether he should leave. He said in surprise: "This is..."

"Yang Ye, my man."

"Ah."

Zhao Guangyi nodded pretending to be profound.

"Is that the loyal man who still defends Yanmen Pass after the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty?"

Yang Ye said quickly: "I don't dare to talk about loyalty. I just do my duty as a minister. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."

"Well~, you are indeed a very strong man. It's rare that you and Lao San have such a connection. Now that you have joined me, I hope you can make contributions to our Song Dynasty and kill enemies in the future. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Hmm~"

Zhao Guangyi nodded pretendingly again. He seemed to have something wrong with his neck today and couldn't do any other movements except this one.

Zhao Guangmei was seen pouting from behind.

In fact, at this time, Zhao Guangyi was in charge of Yuhou, the capital in front of the palace. In the early Song Dynasty, Yuhou, the capital in front of the palace, was closest to the Xuanwu Gate. In other words, it was closest to Zhao Kuangyin, and even the famous Da Nei Banzhi in the future. They were also separated from him. Regarding the current situation of Yang Ye, in fact, as long as Zhao Guangyi makes some openings and directly recruits Yang Ye under his command, Yang Ye will probably feel happy. This position is indeed Suitable for Yang Ye.

As for Zhao Guangyi, after all, he is a scholar. In the past, his position in the Forbidden Army was only a direct soldier, and his foundation was very shallow. Now is the time when he needs to place his own people, and the relationships in the Forbidden Army are very complicated, with many factions. And basically all of them were connected. For him, Yang Ye, who had just returned from the Northern Han Dynasty and had no foundation in Beijing, was suitable for him to take as his own and entrust him with important responsibilities.

It turned out that this guy was just trying to show off, and all he said was nonsense.

Sure enough, Zhao Guangyi at this period was still very young, and he was completely different from the scheming and scheming Zhao Guangyi in history ten years later.

After Zhao Guangyi patted Yang Ye's shoulder, he turned back to Zhao Pu and said, "Brother Pu, the third son of our family will be left to you. He is useless if he is not polished. He is inherently naughty. After he has made great achievements, others will follow suit." Okay, please pay more attention, if you don’t obey, you will be beaten when you need to be beaten, and you will be scolded when you need to be scolded.”

Zhao Pu stood up and said hello, while Zhao Guangmei almost turned her mouth to the Dragon King.

After saying these words, Zhao Guangyi left, as if he came to the Privy Council specifically just to show off to his biological brother. Zhao Guangmei then sat on his chair and couldn't help but ask Zhao Pu: "What about my second brother? Have you been acting like this for two days?"

Zhao Pu also smiled a little awkwardly and did not answer.

He is very familiar with the Zhao family, but no matter how familiar he is, he is still an outsider. What's more, the Zhao family is not what it used to be. They may still be easy-going now, but they may have changed over time, so he said something he shouldn't have said. They won’t even say it.

To put it bluntly, the more Zhao Guangyi pretends to be calm, or even wears a fake beard to pretend to be mature, the more it actually shows that he is guilty and has no confidence. This is just to enhance his own presence.

People who really have a sense of presence don't actually need to be brushed off. For example, this young man in front of you seems easy-going, even casual.

When I entered the Privy Council for the first time, I felt as comfortable as at my own home. In fact, in terms of style, it was a bit better than Zhao Guangyi's pretentiousness. Generally, this kind of performance is either true confidence or a lack of awe in the heart.

Zhao Pu feels that Zhao Guangmei should belong to the former.

Seeing Zhao Guangmei rummaging through the boxes, Zhao Pu said in surprise: "What are you looking for, Third Young Master?"

"There's food and tea. I told you I didn't have breakfast. Our Privy Council is such a high-level official office. Don't we prepare some refreshments in my office?"
