The hand was raised and fell, and the bamboo recliner was cut in half by Zhao Kuangyin with a knife, and the bamboos with the thickness of his arms were directly cut off, and more than a dozen bamboo strips were cut off.

Zhao Kuangyin shook the handle of the knife, drew the knife back, looked at the knife edge again, and nodded one after another.

The sixth sister originally ran over happily, but when she saw Zhao Kuangyin suddenly using a knife to cut the chair, she stood in place in fright and didn't dare to move.

Zhao Dezhao walked over, squatted down and picked her up. "Sixth sister is not afraid, Daddy is trying out the knife."

The sixth sister hummed, hugged Zhao Dezhao's neck tightly, and shouted softly: "Second brother." ”

Zhao Kuangyin shouted again at this time. "Xue Gaoban, immediately arrange to send all kinds of thick bamboo, filled with iron sand, I want to try if this knife is really sharpened like clay."

Xue Zhi saw that the official family was in a good mood now, and couldn't help but glance at Zhao Dezhao, so he took the order and left.

At this glance, there was appreciation, surprise, and a hint of goodwill.

Zhao Dezhao grasped his mentality very accurately, and he also had a trace of scheming in his heart.

Zhao Kuangyin asked excitedly: "Second brother, is this knife really refined by your own hands?" ”

Zhao Dezhao said with a smile: "The child is just a starter, mainly thanks to the Pei father and son. ”

Looking at the pattern on the knife, Zhao Kuangyin's eyes couldn't be pulled out, and he asked: "What kind of refining method is this, can it be refined in large quantities?" ”

"The labor cost is very large, and I am afraid it is difficult to promote it all."

"How many days did it take you to refine? How much material is used? ”

"It took seven days for four people, thirty pounds of pig iron, and a bucket of grease."

"Great goodness." Zhao Kuangyin flicked the blade excitedly and said: "In the future, we must be kind to the Pei family and his son, this iron treasure knife refining technique has been lost in the late Tang Dynasty, and I don't want to see the light of day in their hands today." ”

Uzi steel is not Indian, but unique to the Arabs, and there is also such a craft in the East, and the swords smelted are known as iron.

Zhao Kuangyin paused and said, "No, then the Pei family and his son should enter the workshop and use it exclusively for me." ”

Zhao Dezhao asked, "Isn't it the same with a child?" ”

"It's different......" he smirked. The so-called justification belongs to Lao Tzu in your hands to borrow from you, and you have to accept your love. However, last time I said that I would reward you, this time you created a divine soldier and transferred the Pei family to me, and you will be credited with a great achievement. ”

Of course, Zhao Dezhao wanted to ask for benefits for himself at this time. "Then why doesn't Daddy honor the reward? Directly reward me with a high position, so that the child will still be hung with the title of five grades. ”

Zhao Kuangyin paused for a moment, and said disapprenously: "What's the use of only having a false title?" If you don't have soldiers, no one will listen to you. I wanted to reward you again when you got married, are you sure you want to be an official now? ”

Zhao Dezhao pretended to be excited and asked, "The child wants to know what kind of official the father wants to make the child?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand, and several eunuchs next to him and Tong Liang, who was holding another horizontal knife, immediately retreated.

Zhao Dezhao also put down the sixth sister, and said in a harmonious voice: "The sixth sister will go to play with the fourth sister, and the second brother will come to accompany you later." ”

He beckoned, and the fourth sister came over sensibly and took away the sixth sister who still wanted to stick to Zhao Dezhao.

There was no one else within ten steps of them, and Zhao Kuangyin smiled wittily: "How is the general?" ”

When the general was in the Tang Dynasty, there was a general above, and the military system of the government was gradually destroyed, and the sixteen guards actually had no army, and the general of the Zhuwei became a false title.

The Song Dynasty did not unify the whole country at all, and the Sixteen Guards were even more on paper, and this general was just a loose officer.

Zhao Dezhao pretended to hesitate and asked, "Why can't it be a festival envoy?" ”

The Jiedu envoy is the same as the state pastor and the commander of the forbidden army, and in terms of it, it is one and a half levels lower than the general, because the virtual title of the general is the first grade.

Zhao Guangyi was not the king of Jin at this time, because Jinyang was still in the hands of the Northern Han Dynasty and was the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty.

After conquering the Northern Han Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi took the position of King of Jin.

Now he is the former commander of the forbidden army, this level is the same as the festival envoy, but he is a real job, in addition, there is also the first product of the Zhongshu Order, and the real position of the third product of Kaifeng Mansion Yin.

So in terms of it, even if Zhao Dezhao is asked to hang the title of a festival envoy, it is not as good as Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Kuangyin paused for a moment and asked, "Why do you want to make it a place?" At your age, how can you sit on the side? ”

"The fourth uncle is only eighteen, that is, the Shannan West Road Festival Envoy, Xingyuan Yin, the child does not dare to compare with the fourth uncle, but the position of the Shannan East Road Festival Degree Envoy should not exceed the rules!"

Shannan West Road is an important area centered on Xingyuan (later Hanzhong), which was a backward area in later generations, but in this era, it was the most elite area of the Great Song Dynasty.

Especially now that Sichuan has also been taken down by the Great Song Dynasty, it is even more important to guard the Shannan West Road in the Central Sichuan Plain.

In the order of heirs of the Great Song Dynasty, the King of Jin and the Kaifeng Mansion Yin are generally equivalent to the crown prince's feudal officials, which is the position of the prince.

Jinyang held the throat of the northern threat, which was very important to the Great Song Dynasty, and Kaifeng Mansion was the capital, not to mention.

At this time, the status of Shannan West Road was second only to Jinyang and Kaifeng Mansion, and Zhao Tingmei was the envoy of this place.

The later heir system of the Great Song Dynasty basically continued this set.

As for the rest of the region, Hebei is the land of a hundred battles, where the fertility of the land in Chang'an, Guanzhong, is gradually declining, and the local potential has been exhausted after being the capital for thousands of years.

Not to mention anything else, trees have to be cut down every time the city is built, and other places are lush and green, but there are not even a few big trees in Guanzhong.

As for the Central Plains, it is also at the beginning of recuperation, like the ruins of Luoyang City, which has not been repaired.

Shannan East Road is currently the largest province in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, with Nanyang in the north, the Yangtze River in the south, Wuchang in the east, and the eastern Sichuan in the west.

From the perspective of future generations, of course, it is much stronger than the mountainous Hanzhong, but the Jianghan Plain was originally the Nanping Dynasty, and this regime was only eliminated two years ago.

The area from the Jianghan Plain to Yichang and to Wuchang is still in the digestion stage.

Therefore, in the eyes of the current officials of the Great Song Dynasty, there is still a need to integrate here, and it is not as important as the Shannan West Road in the rear.

Zhao Kuangyin frowned, a little surprised by Zhao Dezhao's request. "Why Shannan Dongdao?"

Zhao Dezhao said tentatively: "The child wants to release himself, so he takes a fancy to here." ”

Zhao Kuangyin was furious: "Bastard, how can there be a prince in the past dynasties?" ”

Zhao Dezhao asked rhetorically: "In all dynasties, how can a younger brother cross his son?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin was speechless all of a sudden, he wanted to say that it was because his younger brother Zhao Guangyi had too much credit, but the power he gave him was also too great.

At this time, Zhao Dezhao, who had gradually grown up, was dissatisfied in his heart.

This dissatisfaction was also deliberately shown by Zhao Dezhao to test Zhao Kuangyin, because he had to understand Zhao Kuangyin's true mentality.

His situation will not change much in the short term, and if he wants to ask for it, he will have to take a little risk.

What's more, what does he have to lose now? No!

It's a big deal to be beaten up by Zhao Kuangyin, and then snub him for a while, or suppress his own development.

But without Zhao Kuangyin's support, he didn't dare to show a threat to Zhao Guangyi at all, and it was really dangerous at that time.

And if Zhao Kuangyin is willing to support him, it will definitely be earned.

couldn't answer Zhao Dezhao's words, Zhao Kuangyin was ashamed and angry, changed the knife to his left hand, and slapped it.

Zhao Dezhao stood still and did not move, and received this slap in the face.

With a loud bang, Zhao Dezhao felt a shock in his head, a sharp pain in the left side of his face, and then became numb, and there was a little more salty taste in his mouth.

The attendants heard the movement, and when they saw this scene, they quickly lowered their heads, pretending that they didn't see anything and didn't hear anything.

But the sixth sister in the distance saw Zhao Dezhao being beaten, and she cried with a wow.

For her, her father is just an occasional stranger, and the second brother, like the fourth sister, is the closest person.

The fourth sister saw Zhao Dezhao being beaten, and her eyes were hazy, but she did not forget her responsibility and covered the sixth sister's mouth. "The sixth sister doesn't cry, the second brother is fine......"

And Zhao Defang, who was originally playing seesaw with the fifth sister, the two of them also stopped playing and stood in place with some fear.

After making a move, Zhao Kuangyin regretted it a little.

He didn't expect that Zhao Dezhao didn't hide, he used to be beaten, didn't he run faster than a rabbit?

Seeing his son standing expressionlessly in front of him with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, the fourteen-year-old was no longer much shorter than himself.

This son is his pride, inheriting all his talents in martial arts, the only thing that is slightly inferior is that the city was too shallow and his personality was too straight.

But today, when he heard him express his dissatisfaction, he realized that he never seemed to know this son.

The corners of his mouth trembled, and he asked in a dumb voice, "When did you have a dissatisfaction?" ”

"On the day of Meng Chang's surrender, what happened in the urn city of Daliangmen, the child didn't dare to think deeply."

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned: "Isn't it an accident?" ”

Zhao Dezhao also raised his head in some surprise and asked, "Didn't anyone tell you that it wasn't an accident, someone put a hibiscus in the forage?" ”

The incident of that day happened on the way to pick up Meng Chang by hundreds of civil and military officials, and there were many people who knew about it, and they didn't want to hide it.

But in this situation, it is obvious that someone is hiding the real reason.

And because everyone knows about this, everyone thinks that Zhao Kuangyin should know this matter very well.

He immediately became angry, looked around his eyes, and shouted: "Meng Kuan, immediately send me the investigation file of the incident of the Daliangmen Surprise on the day of the ceremony, I want to see who is doing ghosts inside!" ”

Meng Kuan bowed from afar, and then walked out of Gyeongbokgung Palace quickly.

Zhao Kuangyin watched his back disappear before he let out a long sigh. "Do you suspect your third uncle?"

"The child doesn't dare, the child just thinks that it is safer to control the power in his own hands."

"Then these days, you are just vain and wrongful in front of your third uncle?"

Of course, Zhao Dezhao will not admit it. "The child really wants everyone to be harmonious, not to have internal friction."
