Chapter 60: Procrastination
On the carriage leaving the palace, Zhao Yan sat inside and thought about things, Zhao Shu wanted to integrate the weapons manufacturing of the Great Song Dynasty, reorganize the weapons supervisor of the Tang Dynasty, and then let him take charge, so as to facilitate him to improve the weapons of the Great Song Dynasty, but from the heart, Zhao Yan was not willing to take over the weapons supervisor, he has always firmly believed that the reason why he crossed over to the Great Song Dynasty, and has the identity of a county king and a beautiful wife, is to enjoy life, but now if he takes over the weapons prison, it is estimated that he will have to be the same as Zhao Ji, I'm so busy all day that I can't even eat, the one who enjoys the life of a fart?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan was even more determined to refuse to take over the idea of taking over the Ordnance Prison, he could use his spare time to help Da Song design some weapons, but that could only be an amateur hobby, and he must not treat the hobby as a job, otherwise no matter how much he liked this matter before, he would feel bored in the future, not to mention that Zhao Yan didn't have much interest in designing weapons and the like, just out of a sense of responsibility, thinking that he should do something for the people of Da Song, so he would take the initiative to do it, otherwise he wouldn't have time to pay attention to these.
made up his mind to refuse, Zhao Yan also felt relaxed all over, which shows that his subconscious mind is not willing to take over the ordnance prison, it is better to be a leisurely prince, ** his little wife when he is fine, or mess around with the little bean sprouts, and even have a lot of time to go out, go wherever he wants, no one can control himself.
When Zhao Yan returned to the palace, half of the afternoon had passed, Cao Ying didn't even eat because she was worried about him, and when she heard Zhao Yan come back, she immediately hurriedly ran over and asked: "Husband, what the hell is going on, what did Daddy Xuan do you do in the palace, why didn't the third sister come back?" ”
"Haha, the lady has made a lot of progress, and she will take the initiative to call her husband." Zhao Yan didn't answer Cao Ying's question, but opened his mouth to make fun of him, asking him to let go of such a beautiful wife, and instead deal with those cold weapons, it was simply an insult to his IQ, unless there were all beauties in the weapons prison, then he would think about it, but this was obviously impossible.
For Zhao Yan's **, Cao Ying's face turned red, but she quickly glanced at Zhao Yan and said: "It's all this time and joking, what did Daddy announce that you entered the palace for, but the concubine has been worried for a long time." ”
"Yes, the princess was so worried that she didn't even eat lunch, I persuaded Xiaodou Sprouts a few times to no avail, but the king of the county is still powerful, and as soon as she comes back, she will make the princess smile!" Mi Xue, a smart girl, also opened her mouth to help, and she also saw that the little lady from the family no longer rejected Zhao Yan, and even had a good impression, so Mi Xue was also rubbing everywhere.
"Dead Nizi has a lot of mouths!" Mi Xue's words attracted Cao Ying's coquettishness, but even the little bean sprouts could be seen, and Cao Ying was not really angry at all.
Although Zhao Yan heard this, although he was calm on the surface, he was also slightly moved in his heart, and he smiled and told him about entering the palace today, although Cao Ying didn't understand what a grenade was, but when he heard that it was a good thing or not a bad thing, he was really relieved, but then Zhao Yan said that when Zhao Shu planned to let him take over the weapons prison, Cao Ying frowned again, until he finally heard that Zhao Yan did not agree, but delayed it for a period of time, which made Cao Ying breathe a sigh of relief.
"Husband, it's great that you didn't agree to take over the Ordnance Prison, although I don't know much about the affairs of the court, but I can also see that if you take over the Ordnance Prison, it may be a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty, but there will be trouble in the future!" Cao Ying sighed after listening.
"Oh? Why? Zhao Yan didn't quite understand what Cao Ying meant, although Cao Ying said that she didn't understand the things in the court, but after all, she was born in a big family like the Cao family, and she still had basic political knowledge, but Zhao Yan was just a volunteer teacher in later generations, and he didn't care about politics since he was a child, and it was not too much to even say that he was an idiot.
"Husband, think about it, if you really take over the Ordnance Prison, what if you don't do it well? Not only will your father be disappointed, but you will even find an excuse to attack you. Cao Ying analyzed very calmly.
"But I don't think it's particularly difficult for me to improve our Great Song weapons, so if I really take over the Weapons Supervisor, I will definitely do a good job!" Zhao Yan was not satisfied with Cao Ying's assumptions, and even felt that she was underestimating herself, so she immediately opened her mouth to cheer for herself.
However, after Cao Ying heard Zhao Yan's words, she gave him a blank look and said: "If the husband does a good job, it will be even worse, in the end, he may not even be able to keep the title of the county king, and even the family will not be ruined, and even my mother's family may be implicated." ”
"So strict?" Zhao Yan was also taken aback when he heard this, and then asked, "But I still can't figure it out, why did I do a good job, but the consequences would be even worse?" ”
"Hehe, my husband is usually very smart, why is he confused now?" Cao Ying also followed Zhao Yan's example and teased at this time, but Zhao Yan's skin was much thicker than her, so Cao Ying's teasing had no effect at all.
Seeing that Zhao Yan didn't react, Cao Ying couldn't help but glance at him again, and then continued: "If the husband does a good job and really improves a lot of weapons, then the husband will definitely be able to sweep away the previous name and become a good helper for his father." ”
"Huh? Isn't that great? Zhao Yan still didn't understand.
"What's good? The husband is originally just a gentleman, even if you are a prince, no one takes you seriously, but when you show enough talent, not even worse than the eldest brother, it will definitely attract the attention of some well-intentioned people, which will definitely arouse the suspicion of the eldest brother, because you have threatened the position of the eldest brother, but in comparison, the eldest brother has more support in the court, plus Queen Gao has always supported the eldest brother, so you will definitely be suppressed by Queen Gao and others in the end, and even lose your life for it, After all, the struggle for the throne has always been brutal! After Cao Ying finished her analysis, she stared at Zhao Yan's reaction.
"Thankfully, thanks to the fact that I didn't agree, I really don't know what to do." I saw that Zhao Yan also wiped a cold sweat after listening to it, many of Cao Ying's words were pointed, and he didn't completely say it thoroughly, but he could also hear it, but what he never expected was that his excellent appearance would cause a struggle for the throne with Zhao Xu, although the imperial inheritance of the Great Song Dynasty is generally relatively peaceful, but maybe it will start to become cruel because of himself, like Zhao Yan, I am afraid that after entering the court, I will be swallowed by people and there is not even scum left.
"Huh? That's not right, if I defeat my eldest brother and become the lord of a country, then aren't you the queen, it is said that ordinary women should support me, why don't you seem to want me to compete for the throne? Zhao Yan suddenly reacted at this time, looked at Cao Ying and asked.
Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Cao Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a serious face: "I don't like to be a queen, and I don't want you to fight for that throne, let's not talk about whether you have the ability to do it, even if you have, but the competition for the throne is the most cruel, and then you may have to do something to hurt others, and even you will become cold, in comparison, it is still the way your husband is now, which makes people feel comfortable." ”
Cao Ying's words were very subtle, but in the last sentence, she still expressed her good impression of Zhao Yan, which was not easy for her, and at the same time made Zhao Yan laugh, and gently stroked her hair with her fingers last time: "Don't worry, the power is like a floating cloud to me, and I don't like that throne even more, it is already my greatest wish to be able to live happily with your lady in this life." ”
Although the little bean sprouts and Mi Xue in the room had already withdrawn before, Cao Ying was still a little embarrassed by Zhao Yan's intimate behavior, and lowered her blushing face and didn't dare to look at him. Originally, Cao Ying wanted to marry a heroic young general when she was in the boudoir, but now it seems that maybe a man like Zhao Yan who has no ambitions and is even a little scoundrel is the most suitable for him.
After the husband and wife kept warm for a while, Zhao Yan spoke again: "Lady, since I can't take over the weapons superintendent, then I will go to my father tomorrow and push off this errand, so as not to cause any accidents if it spreads out." ”
"That's not going to work!" Cao Ying shook her head when she heard Zhao Yan's words and said, "Husband, you have already said in front of your father that you will think about it for a while, so you can't refuse too quickly, and as long as you don't officially take over the weapons prison, then even if others know, you won't be able to make any waves, so during this time, your husband only needs to drag it out, if your father doesn't ask anymore in the future, then forget about it, if your father asks again, it's not too late for you to refuse." ”
"Haha, it's really my good lady, this matter is done, I don't think I've heard of it, wait for my father to ask about it in the future!" Zhao Yan also laughed and said, I didn't expect Cao Ying to also know the mystery of procrastination, it seems that the Cao family's tutor is really good, no wonder he can stand tall in the Great Song Dynasty.
Solved this annoyance, Zhao Yan was also in a good mood, plus the two of them had not had lunch yet, and they both felt empty at this time, just Zhao Yan wanted to eat dumplings, although it was a little late, but who made him the king of the county? However, today's Huang Li may have a conflict with Zhao Yan, and when making dumplings, Zhao Yan found another thing that was very unpleasant and very strange.
