Chapter 331: Mutual Excuse
"What does the third brother think?"
Zhao Guangyi had no choice but to reply: "Brother Huang, although the courtiers rely on military merits to have some land, they are all thin fields. What's more, since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, he has been marching south, and the sturdy tenants of his subordinates have been sent to serve as soldiers, and those who remain are women, children, and old people, where is there any good harvest. What's more, there are so many wives and concubines and subordinates in the courtier's house, and the daily expenses are huge. ”
Seeing Zhao Kuangyin's brows furrowed.
Hurriedly said: "But the imperial brother of the Northern Expedition, of course, must fully support it, even if he is not rich, no matter how difficult it is, the family must prepare all the taxes and hand them over to the treasury." As for the other ......"
He hesitated with an embarrassed face, "The courtiers can only manage themselves and hand over the full amount, as for the other courtiers, there is really no way to let others hand it over." What's more, many of these people are the in-laws of their younger brothers, so you can't take a knife to hand them over! So this errand brother really can't do it. ”
Zhao Kuangyin looked at him, with a faint pain in his heart, and asked, "Then who do you think is competent?" ”
Zhao Guangyi glanced at Zhao Pu, "The prime minister thinks that the fourth brother is suitable, and the younger brother thinks the same way." The fourth brother has a heavy army, and he has never been close to the courtiers and has no in-laws, so it is naturally much more convenient to do things, and he doesn't have to sell anyone's face. ”
Seeing the two of them half-ringing, Zhao Kuangyin was also a little helpless, and after a while he said, "You all retreat!" ”
The two saluted and withdrew.
Looking at the backs of the two, a melancholy flashed in their eyes.
Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu walked out of the main hall and walked all the way to the outside of the palace.
"The fourth brother is too foolish, and I hope Lord Zhao won't take it to heart." Zhao Guangyi said.
"The lower officials don't dare, it's really that the little girl is not worthy of His Royal Highness the King of Wei."
"Lord Zhao is too modest, this king heard that Ling Yan's appearance is outstanding and both civil and military, and the people who come to ask for relatives are queuing up outside the Prime Minister's Mansion every day, but is it true?"
Zhao Pu smiled: "Where is it...... The little girl likes to dance and write ink since she was a child, and she can also embroider her legs with some fists, so she can't be called an all-round talent. ”
He said self-effacing words in his mouth, but there was a look of pride on his face.
Although there are still a few children under her knees, the eldest daughter Zhao Zhiyin is the best in all aspects, and she is already a famous beauty in the capital and a talented woman.
Zhao Pu is naturally very favored.
cultivated such an excellent daughter, of course, I hope that she can marry the prince and general in the future, or enter the palace to get honor, and the Zhao family can also glorify their ancestors.
This is a kind of hope that he was born in a humble and wants to get rid of this kind of background from now on.
And Zhao Zhiyin has never disappointed him, so even if there are people lining up outside the mansion, he didn't easily agree, waiting for the price to sell.
And throughout the entire capital, the most satisfactory son-in-law candidate for him is, of course, Zhao Ting, the king of Wei.
If her daughter becomes the princess of Wei, then the Zhao family will soar to the sky.
But today's reaction of King Wei made his heart fall to the bottom.
Although there were legends of King Wei and the Lord of Yunxi all over the city before, I had also seen the King of Wei offend the King of Jin in public for the Lord of Yunxi.
But he thought that it was always normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone the dignified King of Wei, the future crown prince. Even if there is no cloud, there will be other women.
And as long as her daughter has a dignified Princess Wei, the identity of the future queen is enough.
Unexpectedly, the King of Wei dared to risk his life to openly resist the decree, and that determination and firmness made Zhao Pu feel shocked.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, Zhao Pu's dream didn't last a few days before he suddenly woke up, and he was still scared to wake up. Resentment inevitably rose in his heart, and he couldn't marry into the Wei Palace, but he was openly withdrawn from the marriage, and such an insult was unbearable for him.
Therefore, when Zhao Kuangyin proposed the matter of taxation, he elected the king of Wei to serve as the matter.
Although it is said that the high-sounding is not the king of Wei, but it is recommended with selfishness.
This is not easy to do, just to take the opportunity to embarrass him, or out of revenge.
At that moment, I couldn't say what the reason was, but I just said it like that.
When I thought that if the King of Wei really took this errand, he would become the public enemy of the courtiers, which would not be conducive to inheriting the throne in the future.
If he was just impulsive and after a while, maybe he would agree to accept the holy decree to marry his daughter, wouldn't that be shooting himself in the foot and harming his son-in-law.
I thought about it in my head, and suddenly I regretted it.
Zhao Guangyi on the side chatted with him, he was also absent-minded, and hurriedly said goodbye to the palace gate, and got into the car and went home.
Zhao Pu went back to the study directly, but he was still preoccupied, picked up a book and read it, but didn't read a word for a long time, and was stunned.
I didn't even hear a knock on the door when someone walked in.
"Daddy...... Daddy...... "There is a voice calling softly.
"Huh?" He suddenly woke up and looked up to see that it was his daughter Zhao Zhiyin.
"Oh...... It's Zhiyin!" Only then did he come back to his senses and put down the scroll in his hand.
Zhao Zhiyin is twenty-eight years old, unusually slender and delicate, wearing a red dress, the style is simple and capable.
looks delicate, but there is a heroic spirit between the eyebrows.
At this time, he was standing in front of the bookcase, dragging a tray in his hand.
"Why did Daddy think so enthralled? I didn't even hear my daughter come in. Zhao Zhiyin asked with a smile, and took down a soup cup from the tray and put it in front of Zhao Pu.
"This is my daughter's stewed ginseng soup, daddy drink it while it's hot!"
Zhao Pu picked it up with a smile and tasted it, "Not bad!" I couldn't help but praise, "Your cooking skills have always been so good, no, my daughter is good in all aspects." ”
Zhao Zhiyin smiled happily, "Daddy works hard all day long, and you have to pay attention to your body!" Seeing that her father was in a high position but was trembling and cautious all day long, and did not dare to slack off, she couldn't help but feel distressed.
"It's okay, you are in the house to help your mother manage it together, which has reduced a lot of burden for my father, how can I work hard."
"What's wrong with Daddy? When my daughter came in just now, she saw that her father was very tired and annoyed. ”
This daughter is different from other children, she has always been assertive, very wise and intelligent. What's more, because Mrs. Zhao Pu is in weak health, most of the affairs in the house are now handled by her.
Often the father and daughter will also chat, and occasionally she will say some of her own unique opinions, Zhao Pu thinks it is good, and sometimes it even makes his brain jam.
So after hesitating for a while, he decided not to hide it from her, "It's about the emperor's marriage to you." ”
Naturally, the decree of marriage had already been read out to the Zhao Mansion.
When Zhao Zhiyin heard about her marriage, her face showed a flush, and she asked a little shyly: "Since Your Majesty has given her marriage, her daughter will listen to her parents' arrangement." ”
Zhao Zhiyin did not have the slightest objection to the fact that she was given to marry Zhao Ting, the king of Wei, because she had heard a lot of legends about the king of Wei a long time ago.
Most of them are about the deeds of leading the troops to fight, the existence of the King of Wei like a god of war in the Great Song army, about his martial arts, and the victory of leading the army in one battle after another.
Zhao Zhiyin has heard countless times of exploits such as destroying the Shu Kingdom and recovering the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Women often disguise themselves as men to go to the teahouse to listen to books, and after the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, the storytellers in the teahouse talked about the most of course, the exploits of His Majesty and the King of Wei.
She has liked piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she also likes to dance with guns and sticks, and has practiced martial arts with those masters in the Xiangfu for many years, and her martial arts are not weak. Naturally, he is full of yearning and admiration for heroes like King Wei.
She didn't agree when the person who came to propose her to marry broke through the threshold, but when her father returned home and told her that the emperor intended to marry her King Wei, she was so excited that she blushed and agreed on the spot.
These days are even more exciting and sleepless nights.
