"Satisfaction, that must be satisfaction."
As Zhao Chongyuan's words fell, Xu Tiande's grinning voice came from the closed door behind the study room.
Hearing Xu Tiande's voice, Zhao Ding frowned.
My heart immediately reacted.
This guy is here to fish for law enforcement!
The door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe slowly walked in. It was none other than Xu Tiande, Duke of Wei.
"I have met Duke Wei."
Seeing Xu Tiande walk out of the room, Zhao Ding bowed slightly to Xu Tiande.
With the first move in front of him, Zhao Chongyuan ordered Xu Tiande to go out to do something, and then with the second move, Xu Tiande walked out from behind the minister's study room.
This is clear.
It was Zhao Chongyuan's test of Zhao Ding.
Regarding this, Zhao Ding only wanted to say one thing.
Eat or not eat Shaobing!
"Go and go, you will say some compliments. I am letting you see your son-in-law's decision.
How come I didn't disappoint you? "
Seeing Xu Tiande coming, Zhao Chongyuan grinned, stood up, and pulled Zhao Ding over with a smile, then pulled Zhao Chongyuan, and sat together in the middle of the room.
He picked up the teapot and prepared to pour tea for Xu Tiande.
But before Zhao Chongyuan fell, Xu Tiande quickly stood up, looked at Zhao Chongyuan, and said evasively: "Your Majesty, this is impossible."
Zhao Chongyuan waved his hand and hit Xu Tiande's hand directly. He squinted his neck and looked at Xu Tiande and said, "What can't you do? Here, you and I are brothers. From now on, after Ruoyun and Lao Jiu get married, we will be a family." , what can be done and what can’t be done by being intimate with one another?"
Zhao Chongyuan rolled his eyes, picked up the teapot, and continued to pour tea for Xu Tiande.
"Oh, you..."
Looking at Zhao Chongyuan, Xu Tiande looked helpless.
Zhao Chongyuan glared and said, "Don't move. If you move again, I will punish you."
"Hey, okay, okay, I don't understand, I don't understand."
Xu Tiande frowned, with a look of helplessness on his face, and could only let Zhao Chongyuan pour tea for him.
After pouring a cup of tea.
Zhao Chongyuan looked at Zhao Ding, his hands shook, rolled his eyes and said: "Pour it yourself."
"Pour it yourself, pour it yourself."
Zhao Ding muttered quietly, poured himself a cup of tea, and then...then poured another cup for Zhao Chongyuan.
Only then did Zhao Chongyuan smile with satisfaction, then looked at Zhao Ding and said: "The reason why your Uncle Xu is here is actually the arrangement of you and me.
The purpose, of course, is to see if your kid is a weakling. "
Zhao Ding rolled his eyes but didn't answer.
Zhao Chongyuan continued: "But judging from the facts, your boy's reaction still makes you and I more satisfied, and at the same time, your Uncle Xu is more satisfied.
I, the prince of Daqian, must behave like a prince of Daqian, and everything must be based on the interests of my Daqian, not weaklings. If you are really like that, I will be disappointed with you. "
Zhao Chongyuan stroked his beard and looked at Zhao Ding.
Zhao Ding also rolled his eyes when he saw it.
Although Xu Tiande on the side did not speak, he nodded slightly.
But at this point, Zhao Chongyuan's voice changed again: "But now there is a situation, that is, I have discussed with you, Uncle Xu, to aggrieve Ruoyun for the time being.
This was your Uncle Xu's and me's idea, and it was also Ruoyun's girl's idea.
Everything must put national interests first.
Although Beiliang sent envoys to marry, Beiliang also had the smelting technology of Da Gansu. Over the past dynasties, Beiliang's smelting technology was unique among the five Central Plains countries, but they also had extremely strict control over this smelting method. Never spread the word.
Therefore, in the past dynasties, we and the four countries have tried their best, but we have never obtained it from them. Even when Dayu traded with them, most of them used the method of purchasing equipment, but the craftsmen had extremely strict control, especially for the core. The tempering method has never been spread to outsiders.
Uncle Xu and I decided to agree to their request for marriage this time and force them to come up with smelting methods. The best thing would be to send craftsmen to me to help me improve my smelting skills.
With the iron ore in Nanchen, the smelting methods of Beiliang, and the various hard woods unique to our Daqian, only then can we forge a real army of hundreds of battles for our Daqian. "
"Yes, this is indeed what Ruoyun and I think. Our Xu family has been standing on top of Daqian since the founding of the country by Taizu. We have received the emperor's favor in the past two hundred years. Now is the time for our Xu family to repay the country's kindness. Naturally, national interests should be the top priority.
As Ruoyun’s father, I am very pleased with what you said just now, Prince Yan. However, as far as the country is concerned, I still hope that Prince Yan will put the overall situation first and
Only with the strength of Daqian can we have a future for our Xu family, and only then can it be possible for you to implement various reform measures in the Imperial College.
Reshape a new big stem. "
Xu Tiande also looked at Zhao Ding noncommittally.
"Understood."
After listening to Xu Tiande's words and looking at his father, Zhao Ding nodded silently.
In fact, he has another way to exchange for Beiliang's smelting method, which is the casting method of the divine machine cannon and the continuous crossbow. But the problem is that Beiliang is extremely good at smelting. If he understands the method of the divine cannon or the continuous crossbow, Design drawings can easily run the risk of breeding tigers.
Zhao Chongyuan and Xu Tiande obviously knew about this matter but did not mention it. They obviously also had this concern.
Seeing Zhao Ding agree, Zhao Chongyuan grinned: "In that case, then this matter will be settled.
I will compile a copy of the book and give it to the Beiliang royal family to agree to their marriage request.
Then you make preparations. When Zhou Shan's negotiations with the envoys from Beiliang are almost complete, you and Yang Fu will lead a team to Beiliang.
This matter concerns my future. You must not be careless. "
"Yes, Father."
Zhao Ding's expression became restrained and he had no choice but to retreat.
Matters related to national affairs cannot be decided by him alone. Besides, since the marriage is the will of the entire court, he has to be willing even if he doesn't want to.
No changes are possible.
Besides, she is still marrying that girl Xiao Yunu.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Xiao Nizi, it’s really been a long time since I last saw you.
Thinking of this, the figure of Xiao Yunu could not help but appear in Zhao Ding's mind.
After Zhao Ding turned around and left, Zhao Chongyuan looked at Zhao Ding's leaving figure, with a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
Then he discussed the details with Xu Tiande.
Before handing Da Gan over to Zhao Ding, he had to stand on this last post and perform the duties of the emperor.
The empty hall was cold and lonely.
There was only a bright light and slight coughing and talking.
…
The marriage between Daqian and Beiliang was quickly finalized.
But at the same time, various other plans for Yu Nanchen were also going on quietly.
Zhao Chongyuan personally ordered Zhao Ding to collect the book and return to Youzhou in person. Hu San and Niu Budou secretly trained the Mobei cavalry, and secretly armed the three Mobei tribes through caravans between Mobei and Youzhou.
Of course, they just took out the equipment eliminated by the Youzhou Army.
The real continuous crossbow is still in Youzhou's own hands.
And at the same time on the other side.
In Yingtian City.
A delegation of nearly a thousand people set off from Yingtian and headed towards Beiliang.
Yang Fu, a veteran of three dynasties, was represented, followed by Zhao Ding.
