Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 92 Zhao Guangmei’s fangs
"Zhao Guangmei! You...you...I have no enmity or enmity with you. We are all real relatives. Why are you trying to kill me?"

As he spoke, Wang Jixun rushed forward to grab Zhao Guangmei's collar, but was kicked away by Zhao Kuangyin.

After looking at the mess, he opened his mouth, but felt that his brain was filled with something. He was even in a trance, and he didn't know what to say.

The amount of information is simply too much.

"Second brother, register all these women and send them home. Let this bastard pay compensation. This bastard, first... put him in your prison."

"Here."

"As for Zhao'er, did you really make this new gunpowder?"

"This……"

"Forget it, we'll talk about this later. Let's break up now. You go home and see the queen. Third brother, come here!"

"Oh."

Zhao Guangmei heard this and followed Zhao Kuangyin. The two of them returned to the palace. Zhao Kuangyin retreated from the others and reprimanded him alone: ​​"Say! Did everything today happen by your own hands?"

"Yeah, I didn't deny it either."

"You...why are you?"

Zhao Guangmei smiled and said: "Brother, what do you think the power of the new gunpowder is?"

"This... is indeed a divine object, especially when attacking a city. It will be of great use. Was this made by you or Zhao'er?"

Zhao Guangmei smiled and said: "How should I put it? The most important thing about the power of gunpowder lies in the purity of saltpeter. In the past year or so, apart from purchasing saltpeter mines, the most important thing for Niang and Zhaoer was The secret mission is to purify the saltpeter. Only when the purity is high enough can the gunpowder prepared be powerful enough."

"Of course, Zhao'er was responsible for providing the purified saltpeter, and I was responsible for providing the formula. I modified the gunpowder ratio that had been used since the late Tang Dynasty. The traditional gunpowder was one nitrate, two charcoal, and three sulfur. I changed it to seven nitrate, two charcoal, and one sulfur. Finally, add a little bit of white sugar, and then the power comes up, but the formula is simple, but the purification of the saltpeter is a hard work, so if you want to say the credit, naturally it should be Zhao'er."

Zhao Kuangyin heard the words clearly and knew that the main credit for the new gunpowder was really Zhao Guangmei. To put it bluntly, Zhao Dezhao was just following orders, and the purification of saltpeter was actually pure stupidity. Anyone could do it, but the adjustment Gunpowder formula, not just anyone can do it.

Of course, it is okay to insist that this is Zhao Dezhao's credit, but this is almost Zhao Guangmei forcing the credit into Zhao Dezhao's hands.

"Where do you get this ability? Why can you even prepare gunpowder?"

"Ah, I read it in a book."

"From your second brother's study again?"

"Ah."

"This guy is really ignorant."

"Yeah, brother, you are right."

"But why are you going to blow up Duke Rong's house?"

"Why? I heard about this by accident, so I just verified it. With his power, it would be too difficult to investigate him seriously. Besides, if he had received the news in advance, with his ruthlessness, he would definitely He will kill all those innocent women, so I have no choice but to take this last resort, brother, please kill this man."

"Kill him? He is the commander of the guards and the horse army, and he is the queen's biological brother!"

"Because of this, he should be killed even more. This person is a real relative of our Zhao family. First there was Li Chuyun, and then there was Wang Jixun. Brother, if you can't deal with it with the method of thunder, what will the world think of you? And What will they think of Da Song? He has gone too far, and not killing him will not make the people angry."

"Humph!"

Zhao Kuangyin was furious: "Is this the reason why you kill first and then report later? Do you dare to say that you are doing it all out of public anger?"

Zhao Guangmei thought for a while and said: "I promised my eldest brother that I would not lie to him. I admit that I did this not only for public outrage, but also for the main purpose of muddying the waters. At the moment, the second brother and those civil servant groups have already Through Li Chuyun's incident, Zhang Qiong and I were dragged into the water. It seems that this spearhead has already surpassed Li Chuyun and is targeting the trading company. Old Xue was sent to Hunan as the magistrate. Isn't it really intentional? As for this new appointment As for the candidate for the Third Commander-in-Chief, I think you might be more inclined towards Lu Duoxun, right?"

"But as luck would have it, they took the moral high ground again this time, and Li Chuyun made Brother Murong so angry this time. To be honest, it made me very passive, because my stance on this matter is the same as theirs. It’s very troublesome. If you want to kill Li Chuyun and control the situation from escalating to the point of getting burned, it’s too difficult. I think I can’t control it well.”

"In this case, I will simply make the matter bigger. The problem of the Forbidden Army is too big. It's just Li Chuyun. He is from your Guide Mansion. If you only deal with him, it won't hurt your muscles or bones. If it's not fun enough, why not play something big? Isn't it the moral high ground? If my second brother knows the tricks, I will naturally know them too."

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin stared at Zhao Guangmei seriously: "But you did such a big thing without consulting me in advance. You are putting me on the fire. You are too courageous." !”

"Well...brother, Zhao'er was the one who took action."

"you……"

Zhao Kuangyin had nothing to say for a while, but he was so angry that he felt happy.As Zhao Guangmei said, with this, the water is now completely mixed up, and now it is inconvenient for the civil servants to intervene in this matter.

Because Queen Wang was the successor of Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Dezhao's biological mother, Queen He, died early before the establishment of the Song Dynasty.

This is equivalent to a biological son dealing with his uncle. If it is a state matter, then of course it is. After all, Wang Jixun is not an ordinary person. After he released his military power over a cup of wine, he was almost at the top of the entire imperial army system of the Song Dynasty. Five top generals.This is not just because he is his brother-in-law, the Wang family is also one of the top generals in the world, otherwise Zhao Kuangyin would not be able to marry the Wang family's daughter even if he renews his relationship.

But if you want to say that this is a family matter, I'm afraid it's not a bad idea. Who knows whether Zhao Dezhao went for his uncle or his stepmother?

Who dares to ask more questions about the private affairs of the Tian family?

Zhao Kuangyin was so angry that he felt happy, and said: "No wonder, for such a great contribution, you actually give it to Zhao'er as long as you say it will be given to Zhao'er. Now you have a hard fist and don't listen to me anymore, right?"

When Zhao Guangmei heard this, she squeezed her fist: "It seems to be quite hard."

"Oh, what if I don't kill him? Are you still going to assassinate him?"

Zhao Guangmei also said calmly after hearing this: "I would never dare to do anything like assassination. I am a person who pays attention to being upright in my work. If the elder brother is reluctant to kill him, I will naturally have my back-up plan to force you to kill him." , my moral high ground can be established, so that I can do the things behind me."

"force?"

When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, his attitude was a bit cold and he said: "You dare to force yourself into the palace?"

Hearing this, Zhao Guangmei smiled and bowed deeply to Zhao Kuangyin, and said: "Brother, I still say the same thing. Between us brothers, it is better to speak directly if we have anything to say. To be honest, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time. You Are the second brother and those civil servants really my opponents? I’m afraid not. Since the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, have civil servants ever had real power? After thinking about it, it’s clear that those civil servants are behind the second brother. Brother, you want a balance between civil and military forces. Now that we are weak in civil and strong in martial arts, we naturally have to respect civil and suppress martial arts, right? If you hadn’t let it go, who would have dared to beat Zhang Qiong."

"Ha, ha, ha, my good third brother is really amazing. What, you want to fight me?"

"Don't dare, it depends on what kind of king you want to be, brother. If you think I'm doing something wrong, you can remove me now, give me a fiefdom, kick me away and become an idle prince. , I promise to leave without saying anything. To put it bluntly, my wings are indeed a bit stiffer, but if I want to disobey you and go against you, then I am still too far away. At most... It's just that I'm not very obedient, but brother, whether you are a minister or a younger brother, isn't it normal to be a little willful from time to time? If you don't want to kill Wang Jixun, you can just kick me out."

"Are you forced to have a baby?"

Zhao Guangmei shrugged: "As my wings get harder, I will become more and more disobedient. Brother, do you think I am being honest?"

"you……"

"Brother, if you don't want to kick me away and face the aggressiveness of these civil servants, brother, I will fight back."

"How are you going to fight back?"

"Gunpowder comes from saltpeter. In this year, all the known natural saltpeter mines in the country have been in the hands of trading companies. This business is what I left for Zhaoer. You have also seen the power of this thing. I said This is one of the most important secrets of our Song Dynasty, surely you won’t object?”

"There are no natural saltpeter mines in the Liao Kingdom, but if the saltpeter flows to the Liao Kingdom, it will be difficult to say. This is a serious matter. I sincerely request that gunpowder be set up as a trading company's exclusive business, and Zhao'er will be under the trading company. Establish a Gunpowder Department to be responsible for saltpeter mining, gunpowder production, saltpeter purification and other matters. Prefects from all regions must cooperate in related matters and have the right to decide first and report later on gunpowder matters. After all, if the saltpeter and the secret recipe fall into the hands of the Liao people, It will be a disaster for our Song Dynasty. Brother, do you think my proposal is reasonable?"

Zhao Kuangyin was furious, but he could only grit his teeth and said: "It's reasonable."

"Wang Jixun has such a high position, but he actually sat down to do such an outrageous thing. It can be seen that Li Chuyun's incident is by no means an isolated case. Then brother, I think we should take this opportunity to reorganize the entire Imperial Army. What do you think? Son, apart from me, you will definitely not be able to find anyone else in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty to take charge, so is it reasonable for me to take charge as a direct bachelor of the Privy Council?"

"Reasonable."

"Well, big brother, are you angry with me?"

"I am not angry."

"not angry."

"Aren't you really angry?"

"I'm not mad."

"That's right, don't be angry. As you said, Zhao'er's wings have become stiff. There may be other things happening in the future. You are always angry. How bad will it be for your health if you are so angry?"

"I……"

Zhao Kuangyin was so angry that he stood up and kicked him. Then Zhao Guangmei stood up and ran away.

"Stop! You little bastard, phew~, you're so angry with me. You've learned how to force me to have a baby. You still want to have a next time? Stop right here and don't run!"

"Mom~Mother, you make the decision for me~ Brother, he hit me again~"

　There was harmony in yesterday's chapter. It really pissed me off. In short, Wang Jixun and Li Chuyun both eat the same things. I don't dare to describe it. Maybe this kind of discordant content is not allowed to be written.The key point is that the reviewers are now deleting my content without giving it to my colleagues. The preface and the follow-up are inconsistent, and I don’t know about it. It’s annoying to death.
