At this time, Zhao Ming no longer paid attention to Gu Yong, who was doomed to failure, and said to the eunuchs who almost pestled their heads into the dirt around them: "Why are you still stunned? Send Manager Gu to the hospital and wait to see Manager Gu bleed to death? ”

The eunuchs who followed Gu Yong were like an amnesty, and no one dared to look directly at Zhao Ming anymore, kowtowed his head three times, and dragged Gu Yong, who was like a dead dog, to flee.

Seeing Gu Yong leaving, Zhao Mingcai turned his head, looked at his younger brother with a wry smile on his face and the eunuch who didn't dare to get up on the ground, and said very dissatisfied: "Still kneeling here and pretending to be a corpse, why should you go!" Cao use, add a piece of clothing to your master, such a big person, I don't know the warmth and cold. ”

"Yes. Sixth, His Highness. The birds and beasts all over the ground suddenly dispersed, and the eunuch Cao Yu took his master Zhao Qi to the inner hall to change clothes.

Zhao Ming couldn't help but worry about his younger brother, who was frail and sickly, but who was as polite as a little adult. My younger brother was born to a mother, and the mother died in order to give birth to this younger brother, I don't know if it's because of this, my younger brother Zhao Qi has not had a good physique since he was a child, and he is also timid and polite, and he is the most important rule.

It's the opposite of his own brother. Acting is even more trembling, not seriously ill, never willing to be absent from the palace school, thinking of the mother's dying entrustment, with the idea of occupying the body of someone else's son, he has to shoulder the responsibility of being a son. Zhao Ming has always regarded Zhao Qi as his younger brother and maintained it in every possible way.

The younger brother is cowardly, and it is inevitable that he will be bullied by his brothers and cousins, Zhao Ming has been standing up for this younger brother since he was a child, and Zhao Ming is tough. And the brothers, cousins have worked hard for a few times, and if they lose, they don't cry to the adults, and then they fight, and they will make stumbling blocks, and they will do everything they can.

even beat the then imperial concubine, that is, the current crown prince. Whether it was reprimand, confinement or even cane scolding, the sixth son of the emperor didn't care, and gradually the reputation of the sixth son of the emperor was irritable and rude spread in the palace.

His younger brother is his lifeline. Brothers, cousins do not want to provoke this thorn again. Zhao Ming's life is better. As for Zhao Qi, who has a cowardly personality, the fight after the age of ten is basically fought by Zhao Ming for him.

Zhao Ming walked into the main hall with Xiao Guizi without seeing it, and found a chair to sit down at random. Seeing that Zhao Ming's face was better, Xiao Guizi handed Zhao Ming a cup of tea, and said carefully: "Your Highness, it's not that the slave is talkative, the punishment in the palace is easy to say, but the emperor will be sad at that level, in case he angers the emperor and then alienates His Highness, it is not worth it." Your Highness, look at the valley bullying people with power, this thing should be done by slaves and maids. ”

Zhao Ming wasn't worried about Xiao Guizi's words at all, and glanced at the latter: "You do?" If you do it hurt him at most, you'll die. It's not something you can poke. Don't even think about it in the future, your Royal Highness won't borrow your sword to kill people. As for the father's opinion? I'm not interested in that position from beginning to end! Whatever he thinks! ”

"Your Highness is cautious!"

"Stains! Boring! Zhao Ming teased Xiao Guizi while drinking tea, and it wasn't until a cup of tea was almost finished that he saw his younger brother Zhao Qi come out, and his face was much better. Yo, small device. It's taken so long to change clothes, you can't really be a sissy, right? ”

"Brother, I'm not a sissy, I was just taking medicine, no, is this the time to talk about this? And don't call me a little device! Zhao Qi had nothing to do with his tired brother, so he had to be angry on the sidelines. As for the sissy, having been with his brother for so long, he has long known that this is not a good word.

"Okay, little tool!"

"Brother!"

Seeing that his younger brother Zhao Qi was so angry that he was sweating, Zhao Ming didn't want to make fun of him anymore, so he turned his head and got down to business: "It's okay, Xiaoqi." When didn't your brother plan and then act, was he such an impulsive person? You can't run from the quiet room, so remember to bring me food. ”

"Who cares about the Silent Chamber. The quiet room is as familiar as the bedroom. I'm talking about punishment from my father! Zhao Qi's face turned a little redder.

"Old man? Don't worry, your brother and I have prepared a posterior move, and our father will definitely act as if he didn't see it! Zhao Ming picked up the tea lid and gently flicked it, but his slender eyes shot out.

Learn to look at each other with slanted eyes like your brother and don't ask. I have to say that Zhao Qi has figured out this brother, even if he doesn't praise him, his brother can't help but say it.

"Xiaoqi, you're still so boring. I really don't know who you learned from this sullen nature. Zhao Ming pursed his thin lips and put down the teacup in his hand, "Our trick is still on the lap of that Gu manager!" ”

"The ugly dagger?"

"Hey, what is ugly, that's your brother's proud work! How perfect the lines are, I don't know how to appreciate them. Our father is an old fox who can't afford to be young, and he will become blind with such a good thing! Yes! It's a big loss! I'm going to vomit blood, old fox, you've made a lot of money! Zhao Ming's face pretended to be painful, his eyes flashed, he didn't know, now he was like a little fox waiting for his prey to take the bait.

Not to mention the boring conversation between Zhao Ming and his younger brother. Not long after, in the study of the main hall of the Great Liang Palace in Bianliang City, Northern Zhao, Zhao Hao, the emperor of Northern Zhao, who had just finished the early dynasty, listened to the report of the chief eunuch Huai En with a unhappy face.

Zhao Hao has been in power for more than 12 years, and even the emperor of the enemy country has to admit that Zhao Hao is a wise monarch.

When the former emperor Zhao Xin was conceited, he forcibly raised the country's troops to attack Yan, encountered strong resistance from the previous generation of Xiyan heroes, suffered a big defeat, and the domestic elite was lost. forced the contemporary emperor Zhao Xin to die of fear. pushed the state of Zhao almost to the point of almost annihilation.

Zhao Hao, who was the crown prince at the time, succeeded to the throne in danger, and the first edict was to call on men over 16 years old and under 50 years old to go to the national disaster. Three households smoke one ding. Defeat the Southern Tang Dynasty first, and then force the nomads to retreat. At the cost of cutting a state of land, the An clan, the royal family of Western Yan, who came with a great victory, saw the defeat of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Northern Zhao was united. Knowing that the power of the whole country was strong enough to destroy Northern Zhao, he himself was greatly injured, and he cheapened the Southern Tang Dynasty without hurting his muscles and bones. He promised to withdraw from the war on the condition of a state.

made Beizhao forcibly breathe back in the shadow of the destruction of the country. Avoid the fate of the death of the country. After the war, Northern Zhao suffered a great loss of vitality due to the forcible extraction of the country's potential. Regression from the first power to the weakest.

After this war, Zhao Hao took a truce and stopped the war, paid attention to people's livelihood in China, and encouraged childbirth. It took 12 years to finally recover a little bit of vitality. often makes the emperor of the enemy country sigh: "The sky does not want to die in Northern Zhao, descend this Ming monarch, in vain!" ”

At this moment, Zhao Hao, who was known as the Ming Jun before he died, looked at his own chief with a strange face, and saw that the latter was furious: "Huai'en, is that really what the rebel son said?" Don't say anything nice about him! ”

"Slaves and maids dare not expire Your Majesty."

"Hey, I'm still looking away. This little sixth son usually doesn't hum or ha, and he looks on coldly. At a critical time, he is still a little anxious and calm, as he said, the harem can only lock him up for a few days, and it is really not good to punish him severely for this matter. It seems that the queen can only swallow this bitter fruit by herself. It's just that this method is really like a stream..."Receiving the eyes of his manager, Zhao Hao finally swallowed back the last word of his son, what about his son's method of being a father? Rogue daddy? Bai gave a joke to the Minister of the Interior who was dealing with government affairs.

Zhao Hao cleaned up his mood, turned his face back, and restored his majestic appearance before he spoke: "Did this kid miss my attitude?" Although I am not good at punishing him for this. But this is a lot of small problems. Hehe! ”

The implication is that there are so many reasons for a father to discipline his son. Even if he didn't, does a father need a reason to beat his son? Hitting the child on a cloudy day is idle anyway. If Zhao Ming knew that his father's thoughts would be slanderous, was it really a thick-hearted emperor?

Hearing this, Ouchi's chief manager Huaien's face became even more strange. I want to stop talking, and I seem to think about what I should say.

Zhao Hao also noticed the strangeness of his henchman's face, and was a little surprised that this matter didn't seem to be over, and he understood after a turn of thought: "Say, what other big rebellious words did the rebel say?" Original, word for word! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The sixth prince also estimated that His Majesty was unhappy, saying that there was something to settle His Majesty. "As the emperor's confidant, Wynne will not favor any prince.

"Settled?" The Emperor asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's the word settled." Wynne is sure.

"Haha... Unfilial son! The Emperor laughed angrily, "What a big breath! Who else in this world can settle me! The burst of majesty frightened Wynne and the Minister of the Interior, who was in charge of government affairs, to their knees and pleaded guilty.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat. It has nothing to do with Zhong Aiqing, what a bold rebel! Zhao Hao took a deep breath to calm the anger in his heart, waved his hand, and signaled everyone to calm down. The five ministers looked at each other and smiled bitterly, this unwarranted disaster came really inexplicably.

"What this rebel said, let me open my eyes, and save some people from saying that I will be punished for not teaching!" Zhao Hao's tone was permeating, if this thing could not satisfy the son of heaven in this country, although his own son would not be punished without teaching, he would have to suffer a lot.

"Your Majesty, it is the dagger used by the six princes on the royal table." Wynne, who had just gotten up, hurriedly took out the dagger from the imperial table and put it in front of the Son of Heaven with both hands.

This dagger is extremely ugly, it is simply an iron bar less than two feet, one end is tied with a linen cloth is considered a handle, and the other end of the dagger is not known to be sharpened out of it, it is extremely vulgar, but the cold light shines. The tip of the blade is even rougher. It's like using something to forcibly cut off a corner, get an oblique angle and sharpen it. It is not at all like what the prince used, but like the knife used by the pork dealer in the market to remove minced meat.

"Hmph, this rebel. I thought it was some kind of magic weapon, but it was such a broken thing. I dare to speak wildly, but it's just sharper... Hey! It's a little weird. Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, Zhao Hao waved the dagger in his hand casually, and stopped commenting: "Go and get my Son of Heaven Sword." ”

Wynne glanced at the Son of Heaven suspiciously, and obediently took the Sword of the Son of Heaven from the wall of the study, which had not been sharp for a long time. I saw the Son of Heaven swing his sleeves, and he took out the Son of Heaven Sword from Huai'en and danced a sword flower. The sword of the Son of Heaven is an extraordinary product, the sword body is forged by hundreds, the sword body is like water, and the blade is like frost.

Zhao Hao, the Son of Heaven, was not the Son of Peace, so he didn't want others to do it for him, so he gritted his teeth and let the blade of the Son of Heaven Sword slash down against the blade of the broken dagger.

While! After a dragon groan, the simple dagger was not damaged, but the sword of the Son of Heaven knocked off a gap in a grain of rice!

Zhao Hao's face was not obvious, but he was distressed in his heart. You must know that this sword of the Son of Heaven was worn by him when he ascended the throne, and the order to go to the national disaster together was that this sword of the Son of Heaven was cut off from the corner of the desk, and it was not damaged for twelve years. Today, he was injured by the broken dagger of the rebel, how could Zhao Hao not feel distressed.

"The Book of the Ministry of Communication." Zhao Hao gave a verbal command with a dark face.

"Meet Your Majesty, I don't know what Your Majesty is recruiting?" Xie Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who had just returned to the chair of the Ministry of Industry after getting off the morning, did not sit on the hot chair, and finished the salute in fear.

He couldn't help but be frightened, among the six departments, his Ministry of Industry can be called the bottom department, usually the emperor summons less, today the little eunuch hurriedly said that His Majesty summoned and asked three questions, and thought that there was something wrong with the Ministry of Industry and was caught by His Majesty.

Xie Aiqing was flat. I summoned Xie Aiqing today to ask if Aiqing can you recognize this thing? "The emperor is kind and pleasant, and controlling emotions is one of the emperor's essential skills. With that, he asked Huaien to hand the dagger to Xie Jun.

Xie Jun respectfully took the dagger and examined it carefully, and he wondered in his heart, such a rough thing did not look like it was produced by a group of skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry. The things made by the Ministry of Industry are practical for the military and civilians, and they are used by the royal family, so they are gorgeous and beautiful, and this dagger is so simple and rough that I really don't want the Ministry of Industry to produce. “

Your Majesty forgives the sin, but the minister does not know this thing. Xie Jun didn't want to let the Son of Heaven wait for a long time, and he made sure that he hadn't seen this thing, so he honestly explained.

"Huh? Don't know? This was found in the hands of the sixth son of the emperor. Zhao Hao looked at Xie Jun. The smile is a little unpredictable. After all, he didn't shake out the matter of the sixth son of the emperor stabbing people with this dagger. "I heard that the sixth son of the emperor often entrusts the Ministry of Industry to make some gadgets?"

Xie Jun thought for a while, remembered something, and returned: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Sixth often asks Weichen to make some small objects. About two years ago, His Highness the Sixth asked Weichen to make several iron bars using the method described by His Highness the Sixth. Presumably, this dagger was privately sharpened by His Royal Highness Six with that batch of iron bars. Death to all ministers! First, it has been a long time, and secondly, the ministers never expected that His Royal Highness the Sixth would make this iron bar into a murder weapon! ”

Xie Jun's cold sweat came down, and he quickly knelt on the ground with a puff, which could be killed by the usually kind Sixth Highness. The crime of transporting sharp weapons to the palace is too big, and he can't afford to wear this hat with a small Ministry of Works.

"Not sinful, not sinful. Aiqing, please get up. The boy originally liked martial arts, and Qing just made a few iron bars according to what the rebel said, and the dagger was made by the rebel himself, which had nothing to do with Aiqing, so get up and get up! "Now it's the emperor's turn to cry and laugh.

This rebel is really good at pitting people, and he just pitted the queen's deputy chief manager before, and now his style has risen immediately, and he has set up the book of the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court. It's still a pit dug two years ago, and I guess this rebel didn't even think of it.

Zhao Hao calmed down the emotions in his heart, and seemed to ask casually: "What is the material of this method?" Is the output geometry complicated? ”

Xie Jun recovered his apprehension, thought for a while and replied: "At that time, after the iron was mined, His Royal Highness the Sixth ordered all the materials to be sealed, and the minister was curious and flipped through it. Use a pound of iron to get eighty percent of iron. Melt the raw iron, stir the loose toner, just like a folk stir-fry, and you can get it in half a day. Therefore, the minister thought that it was a joke by the six highnesses. ”

"Jokes?" The Son of Heaven repeats these two words meaningfully. Then he asked, "Aiqing hasn't tried such a product?" ”

"Samples from stir-frying?" Xie Jun also tasted that something was wrong, and the emperor's question was not like a joke: "At that time, as soon as the samples came out, the little eunuchs in the palace of the Sixth Highness took all of them, and told the craftsmen not to open the furnace again. Therefore, there are no samples in the Ministry of Engineering. Could it be that the iron smelted by the Sixth Highness is very mysterious? ”

"Hey!" Zhao Hao glanced at the Son of Heaven Sword hanging back on the wall, and felt a pain in his heart: "After Aiqing goes back this time, he will call up the method of iron-making of the rebel son, and try to compare the finished product into a weapon armor and compare it with the soldiers that the Beijing Fourth Army is now equipping." ”

"Obey." Could it be that the iron that the Sixth Highness has made exceeds the iron tools that the Fourth Army of Beijing is equipped with now? This is the dereliction of duty of his Ministry of Works, such a good thing under his hands, he actually has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, Your Highness Six, you don't know to wake up, thanks to my Ministry of Industry to help you make so many things, you will put me to death.

Zhao Hao waved his hand to let the Ministry of Industry Shangshu step back, rubbed his eyebrows, and walked back and forth in front of the imperial table: "Hmph! If this method can be achieved, the combat strength of our army can increase a lot, and it is really difficult for me to punish this rebel. Calculate your own Lao Tzu! made a mistake and actually wanted to make a deal with his father instead of giving in? Well, there is a backbone! Little six, little six. It's really impressive. ”

Zhao Hao walked around in his study, and frowned whenever he saw the Son of Heaven Sword on the wall. Even Huai'en, who has always been intimate, couldn't tell whether the emperor was happy or angry. I had to bend over and stand aside. Don't dare to answer.

Fortunately, Zhao Hao didn't want Huai'en to answer, so he turned it over and ordered: "After tomorrow morning, the princes who are out of the cabinet will gather in the study room of the Zhenghe Palace, and they will say that I will test their knowledge." Let's see if there's anything going on. Zhao Hao's tone was stunned: "Also called Zhao Ming, the sixth son of the emperor!" ”

Huai En naturally understood: "The slave and maid obey the order, then today's matter, please show your majesty."

"Old slippery head. Who is that...."

"Fengyi Palace Valley."

"Gu Yong should have been killed with a cane when he committed the following crimes, thinking that he still had a little hard work in serving the queen for many years, and he was assigned to guard the imperial mausoleum. You have to save some face for the queen. I don't want to hear anything else inside and outside the palace! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty. ”
