The two sons expressed their opinions one after another, and Zhao Huan could not help but show a look of relief on his face.
Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Ci with dark circles in his eyes, looking resentfully at Zhao Ci. This man couldn't speak, so why should he bother him?
Not long after.
Eunuch Li led the eunuchs and maids to come up with lunch. As usual, he looked plain and steamy, making him feel like home.
"I've been hungry for a long time!"
Zhao Ci directly picked up the bowl. He didn't take a few bites of the mushrooms in the morning before he was poisoned and passed out. The detoxification process seemed to consume a lot of energy. He was so hungry during the meeting just now. No wonder Zhu Li was so hungry.
I picked up the vegetables, wrapped them in rice, and pulled them into my mouth.
Zhao Yong couldn't help but glare at him angrily: "Father hasn't even touched his chopsticks yet, why don't you have any etiquette?"
"When my family eats, they don't follow the etiquette!"
Zhao Huan smiled and shook his head.
Zhao Yong quickly said: "Father is teaching you a lesson!"
Zhao Huan looked at him deeply, then put a chopstick of vegetables into his bowl and said warmly: "I haven't slept all night, so eat quickly and go back to bed!"
See this scene.
Zhao Yong was so flattered that he picked up the bowl at a loss and said excitedly: "Yes, it's my father!"
Zhao Ci: "..."
I hadn't noticed before, but I didn't expect that these princes' admiration for Zhao Huan had reached an unprecedented level.
It's just a dish, just like a girl in the rice circle being lucky.
But yes, after hundreds of years of turmoil in Dayu, it was Zhao Huan's great victory that established the golden eighteen years of stability. Tens of millions of people in Dayu, who used to worry about the destruction of their country and their species day and night, are now thinking about when to fight back.
What son would not admire such a royal father?
Even Zhao Ci himself recalled that when Zhao Huan appeared in his memory, he was shrouded in a halo of greatness.
"Yong'er..."
"Father!"
Zhao Yong immediately put down his chopsticks.
"Talk while you eat!"
"Yes, Father!"
Zhao Yong picked up the bowl again, but still didn't move his chopsticks, looking at Zhao Huan solemnly.
Zhao Huan no longer forced it, but asked leisurely: "Is everything going well with the family?"
"It went well! They brought everything I wanted!"
"Don't take it lightly. Some things are only yours if you take them into your hands."
"My son understands."
Zhao Yong nodded solemnly. Just before he entered the palace, news came from Zhu Gong that he had helped him obtain all the things he had promised and had delivered them to Yonghe Danfang.
But in fact, the relevant improved techniques and elixir recipes are all in the hands of the Zhu family's alchemists.
Although they can help themselves make money and get orders, it is not easy for them to get in touch with those core things.
Sometimes, he himself is very disconnected.
The palace dispute was originally a battlefield between the royal family and the seven great meritorious families, but the prince who opened the palace did not belong to either party completely.
While he had to get the support of the Zhu family, he also had to work for Zhao Huan, and he also had to pay attention to competing with other princes and princes, and his life was really hard.
"well!"
Zhao Huan sighed and said with a sad expression: "I originally thought that after settling on the border, Yu's military strength would be able to increase several times in less than twenty years. But I never thought that as the environment became more comfortable, people would become selfish."
Zhao Ci said vaguely while eating rice: "I think their ideological level is not high enough. Father, you can cultivate my eloquence and ask me to go to their homes to educate them about patriotism and ask them to hand over their things." .”
Zhao Huan: "..."
Zhao Yong: "..."
They looked at Zhao Ci strangely.
Zhao Ci looked puzzled: "Am I wrong to do this?"
Of course he knew something was wrong. Great Yu arose in the wilderness and was not a unified dynasty from the beginning.
At that time, all the heroes came together and fought against each other for nearly a hundred years. Only eight families were left. They are probably the seven great meritorious families and the Zhao royal family today. Each of them is backed by a relic of the previous dynasty. The eight families' housekeeping skills are all derived from these relics. Come.
Because there were too many foreign troubles at that time, evil spirits were raging and ferocious beasts were rampant, and there were many ferocious tribes that were difficult to civilize.
Coupled with the influence of the idea of unification left in the relics of the previous dynasty, the eight major families held a meeting that lasted several months.
No one knows what the specific content of that meeting was, but after the meeting, the Dayu Dynasty was established, and eight families named Zhao as emperor.
From then on, the road to the rise of Dayu began, followed by the birth of Long Yuan hundreds of years ago. Dayu fell nearly half of the way, and began to be turbulent.
It can be said that until eighteen years ago, the eight great families worked together. Even if they strictly prohibited the leakage of their own inheritance, they still tried their best to contribute to Dayu and almost never hid their secrets.
It is true that it is stable now.
But if you ask people to hand over their family assets, how can they be willing?
We worshiped and swore an oath back then. We can continue to treat you as the boss, but you can't treat us like dogs.
But from a national perspective, Zhao Huan is right to do this.
Huh?
He pretended to be sick and old, and also deliberately allowed the crown prince and the fourth prince to compete for the heir apparent, probably just to get some money from everyone, right?
In this way, this emperor is really not bad, a real hero.
Zhao Ci felt a hint of admiration in his heart, but it was not enough to dispel his wariness towards Zhao Huan. No matter how powerful you are, you can't worry about my waist!
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Huan smiled lovingly: "If everyone in the civil and military dynasties has such an awareness as Ci'er, then why should I, Dayu, be unhappy?"
Zhao Yong echoed: "Yes! What the world lacks most are wise men like Lao Shi."
Zhao Ci: "..."
Why are you scolding someone when you pinch your mother?
He was thinking about other things and didn't bother to pay attention to Zhao Yong's sarcasm. He just kept busy with his food.
Soon.
The meal is over.
Zhao Huan stood up and patted Zhao Yong's shoulder gently: "Maybe you haven't rested for a long time. Go back to sleep quickly. There is still a long way to go."
"yes!"
Zhao Yong nodded excitedly, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he glanced at Zhao Ci.
But after waiting for a long time, Zhao Huan didn't wait for Zhao Huan to drive Zhao Ci away. It seemed that he still had something to say.
A trace of sadness and jealousy flashed through his eyes, he bowed and left.
Zhao Ci curled his lips, but he didn't expect that this guy, who was usually very rude to others, would actually be jealous in private.
It's really off the mark.
He looked at Zhao Huan and asked curiously: "Father, do you have anything else to say to the child?"
Zhao Huan pondered for a while and said warmly: "I just proposed to lower the price of elixirs for my father to tell them. It is not something you can interfere with. Xiang's elixir shop has just started now and cannot afford a price war. You must not participate. Otherwise it will bring down the entire industry.”
Yo!
Lao Deng finally took the bait?
If it was just to grab as many orders as possible, what he had to do now was to keep a low profile and wait until the Gongdan Conference for another big one.
But he didn't, and even took Zhu Li with him to talk boldly.
It's because compared to the list, he cares more about whether he can firmly control the wine-making process in his own hands.
According to the current situation, without outside intervention, the craftsmanship will fall into Gu Xiangzhu's hands sooner or later.
If he wants to do something, he can't always act like a fool.
No matter how good your acting skills are, you can't hide it from Gu Xiangzhu forever.
The moment he is exposed will be his most dangerous moment in the near future.
Before that, he must hold on to a sufficient bargaining chip.
Now that I am at the point where my filial filter is at its strongest, I must be brave.
Zhao Ci immediately showed an angry look: "Father! You don't believe me? I just said that I was sure to lower the unit price. Do you think I am making you happy? I have already opened a house, how can I do this? Such a ridiculous thing that only a child would do?”
"oh?"
Zhao Huan's eyes brightened: "Do you really have a way?"
Gu Xiangzhu's every move recently has been in his sight. When others see Gu Xiangzhu giving the alchemy house to Zhao Ci, they will only think that he is helping his son to open a mansion.
But Zhao Huan understood how Gu Xiangzhu, a demon sect witch, could put her life in the hands of a cheap son?
There must be benefits inside that you haven’t seen yet.
If he was just doubtful last night, Zhao Ci's performance just now finally convinced him.
Zhao Ci was quite proud: "Of course there is a way!"
Zhao Huan smiled kindly: "Tell me and listen!"
"this……"
Zhao Ci suddenly hesitated: "The mother and concubine don't let the children say..."
Zhao Huan's eyes narrowed and he asked, "You can't even tell your father?"
"hiss……"
Zhao Ci was extremely confused: "My mother said that we haven't succeeded yet. If something goes wrong, it would not be a good thing for my father to be happy for nothing..."
really.
Zhao Huan felt happy and solemn at the same time. Sure enough, he had this method, but why did it fall into the hands of Gu Xiangzhu?
Now that Gu Xiangzhu is here, he will definitely muddy the waters of the Gongdan Conference.
But correspondingly, Gu Xiangzhu may be able to secure a place in the elixir world.
This is not a good phenomenon!
This demon sect witch is so well hidden!
His eyes fell on Zhao Ci, and he didn't know if his stupid son could steal the craftsmanship.
Was about to ask something.
Zhao Ci continued: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether I hide it from my father or not. If it weren't for the guidance of my father and mother, I wouldn't be able to develop this wine refining technology."
"What!?"
Zhao Huan was horrified: "Refining wine? This process is in your hands!?"
He was really shocked.
I originally thought that this was the product of Gu Xiangzhu's hard work, but I didn't expect that it was actually developed by Zhao Ci.
This... this is too bizarre, right?
This cheap son of mine has been mediocre and weak since he was a child. How come he has never heard of such an ability?
Refining wine?
"yes!"
Zhao Ci responded happily: "Father, you have forgotten that it was you who guided the children to improve the alchemy process by refining wine!"
Zhao Huan: "..."
After recalling it, it seems that it is true!
But many people have tried this idea, and not one of them has worked. I just said it casually, and you really came up with it?
this……
etc!
Zhao Huan asked: "How specific is this craft? Does your mother and concubine know?"
Zhao Ci shook his head with some shame: "I haven't told my mother and concubine yet. The main reason is that the child is too stupid. Even with the help of my father and mother, my craft has not been optimized to the point where it can be put into the alchemy workshop."
Zhao Huan: "..."
He looked at Zhao Ci.
Zhao Ci also looked at him.
His eyes were burning.
Zhao Ci's eyes were confused.
Zhao Huan thought for a moment and said warmly: "Have you encountered any difficulties in craftsmanship? You might as well tell me. My father has many skilled craftsmen who should be able to help you."
speak out?
You're thinking shit!
There was a hint of fear in Zhao Ci's eyes: "Father, no need! I have already thought of a plan, and it will definitely succeed before and after the Gongdan Conference. If my mother and concubine know that I am so restless, I will show it to my father before I have accomplished anything." , will definitely blame me severely!"
Zhao Huan's eyes darkened slightly. This was not surprising. How could Gu Xiangzhu give up this money tree?
If you force yourself to ask, it will be difficult for this child to withstand the pressure.
However, if she uses force, she is likely to offend Gu Xiangzhu. With her temperament and stance, if she impulsively reveals the matter of exchanging the Dirty Secret Book, no one will be able to make it easy.
But... Zhao Ci now believes that the wine refining process is inseparable from his guidance.
Then he can at least be invincible.
He smiled: "Since you are so confident, then prepare well! After the Gongdan Conference, it is not too late to tell your father, go back and rest!"
"yes!"
Zhao Ci nodded, as if he was afraid of Zhao Huan's questioning, and trotted out of the imperial study room.
The bet paid off.
His ruthless father and fake mother were indeed, as he thought, almost on equal footing in the tug-of-war.
And for Zhao Huan, cultivating a scroll king to sink the price of the entire Qi training pill is as important as obtaining the wine refining technology.
Breaking things off rashly is not a wise choice.
What I can do has been done.
Whether it succeeds next depends on the two of them fighting.
