The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1755 Zhao Pu's Careful Thoughts

"Lord Zhao, I heard that Master Miao Xun Miao recently went back to the north and said that he was going to inspect the border defense according to His Majesty's wishes?"

"Why is the lord still interested in this? This is true. You also know that Mr. Miao used to be a military adviser. His Majesty naturally had his own plan for letting him go to the north. It is very likely that he was asked to command, but His Majesty did not say anything about it." This official is not very clear about it, but the prince has made a huge contribution to clarifying the administration of officials recently, which will definitely impress His Majesty."

It is true that Zhao Lin is a prince, but according to the official position system of the imperial court, he is still not as high as Zhao Pu. Zhao Pu is his boss. A separate agency, the Picket Office.

Up to now, it is still led by Yang Li, an upright person. Zhao Lin is still Yang Li's subordinate, and his official position is not high, but fortunately, he is independent, and no one dares to offend easily. This Yushitai was restructured two years ago Established to picket civil injustices and the actions of hundreds of officials.

"This is what a subordinate official should do. Mr. Zhao, don't call me a prince. It stands to reason that I am also your subordinate. If you are so polite, we will not be able to work together in the future."

What Zhao Lin said was also very polite, and he didn't use the title of the king, but the official, this official title, and also expressed that he would get along with Zhao Pu according to the size of his official position.

Besides, Zhao Lin studied with Zhao Pu some time ago, so he can be regarded as a master and apprentice in terms of seniority. Let’s take a step back and say that Zhao Pu has been the prime minister for so many years, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world. Even the emperor should give him some face. In addition, his surname is also Zhao, and after Zhao Kuangyin accidentally said, they are of the same clan, which makes Zhao Pu's status even higher.

Although Zhao Kuangyin was just a joke, whoever dared to take it as a joke, the emperor always spoke with a golden mouth, and as long as he said it, it was an imperial decree, which also made Zhao Pu's position as Tongping Zhangshi very stable.

"Etiquette cannot be broken, the prince is the prince, but if we don't wear this official uniform, we are still friends. In the evening, I still have some things to talk to the prince alone. I wonder if the prince will show respect?"

"Do you dare not accept the invitation?" Zhao Lin also smiled mysteriously. Not everyone can go to Zhao Pu's house, especially Zhao Pu basically doesn't see many guests at other times, thinking that he is afraid that someone will use this time to visit him. To curry favor with him, that's why there is such a strange rule.

"Then I will wait for the prince's arrival." After Zhao Pu and Zhao Lin made an agreement, he continued his duties as prime minister, and Zhao Lin also went to Yushitai for business.

In the evening, Zhao Pu's mansion was the same as usual, and there was nothing special about it. Although Zhao Lin was to be entertained, there was no special arrangement. Only then did I know that Zhao Pu was receiving the prince.

It was just a regular meal, and the two seemed to be old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were very enthusiastic.

"How about it, the cooking skills of the cook in my mansion are still in line with the prince's taste?" Zhao Pu prepared home-cooked dishes.It's not a delicacy.

"Master Zhao has a heart. This is indeed delicious. To be honest, he is even more skilled than the cooks in my palace. I am really afraid what will happen if I can't eat such food in the future. Master Zhao, you have a problem."

Zhao Lin also began to tease, but to be honest, these meals are really good, Zhao Pu puts his heart into it, and it can be seen from these side dishes.

"It's easy to handle. These cooks will be sent back to the prince's mansion tomorrow. You don't have to be polite to me. It's their blessing that the prince likes their cooking skills. It's too late for them to be happy!"

These are all polite words, Zhao Pu asked everyone to go out, only Zhao Pu and Zhao Lin were left, it's time to get to the point.

"My lord, I have something to tell you when I came to you today, that is, do you want to order the world?"

Snapped!
The chopsticks in Zhao Lin's hand fell to the ground, how could Zhao Pu say that, this is outrageous, ordering the world is to be the emperor, what does Zhao Pu want to do.

"Shh, Mr. Zhao, why would you say such outrageous words? Fortunately, there is no one else here, otherwise the two of us will die without a place to bury us. Please be careful."

"My lord, don't worry. There won't be anyone around here. You should know who I am, Zhao Pu. Today, I just want to ask my lord if you have such thoughts. I really want to know what your lord really thinks. Don't worry, my lord." , I'm not testing you, I really want to ask you."

Then Zhao Pu said why he did this. Zhao Pu was a die-hard supporter of Zhao Xu. You must know that Zhao Pu was invited by Zhao Xu to Chuzhou back then.

However, Zhao Xu had lost all his martial arts recently, and now he was going to conquer Fusang. Whether he could come back alive was another matter. This was an important reason.

In fact, there was another reason that Zhao Xu was too strict. As the prime minister of a country, Zhao Pu had many people giving gifts, but Zhao Xu didn't like it because Zhao Pu had been reprimanded countless times for this matter.

In the past, Zhao Pu had nothing, and he only wanted to be able to give someone a place one day. Now that he has become a leader, he has become the first rank in the dynasty. The status is there, and the status is now. It is time to become a rich man. I don’t have enough salary, so I can only make extra money. Why did it come, that is, outsiders sang, or you went to make profits yourself.

Zhao Pu also violated the court's ban to sell timber, but Zhao Xu found out and was fined for one year. In mind.

And most of the time, I don't look like a prime minister at all, but who made Zhao Xu the second master, who will succeed the emperor and become the new emperor in the future, Zhao Pu should also think about his family, right?

But now there is a chance that Zhao Xu's martial arts will be completely abolished, almost like a cripple, because his veins are broken, he is not as good as an ordinary person, the emperor is still in his prime, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the future. Asking to go to Fusang, this sword has no eyes, who knows whether Zhao Xu will come back safely, so Miao Xun has some ideas in his mind. For his own sake, it is good to support another person. Zhao Lin is more suitable. The relationship between the two is not bad. Yes, Zhao Lin is different from Zhao Xu, they are more affectionate, and I can support him!
If Zhao Xu was doing well, he would never dare to have such thoughts, but now? Hehe...
