I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 818
Things are getting a little confusing.

Originally thought that the visit of the second and fourth princes to the Prince's Mansion meant that the court's purpose was clear.

However, the second prince came out of the prince's mansion alone.

It is heard that after the Second Prince came out, his face was ashen, and he entered Concubine Hui's mourning hall and did not move again.

However, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council just issued an edict to retire soldiers this year...

Speaking of the East Palace that day...
"Daddy authorized me to sell the first-generation and second-generation guns and ammunition of the workshop city armory for [-] yuan. The [-] muskets were purchased by the second and fourth brothers respectively."

"Second brother can use food in exchange, think of a way for yourself. Dad allows you to use the channel of the Imperial City Department to contact Annan for a few days..."

"As for the fourth brother, you need to recruit your team and buy it as a merchant."

"One thing, all muskets must be used by soldiers who have served in the new army of the country!"

This is what the prince learned from Zhao Xi's few words.

"However, the old matter shouldn't just end like this. Some excuses still need to be used. There will be a large number of soldiers retiring in the near future. As for whether they can be recruited, it depends on your own ability..."

The second prince's intelligence is indeed extraordinary, after the prince finished saying these words, he simply kowtowed to his elder brother, turned around and left.

There are a lot of things that can't be said clearly, and the second prince also knows that after his father gave his elder brother various rights, it means that he wants to entrust his own destiny to his elder brother.

It's useless to say more, it all depends on doing.

If he wants to create a world in Annan, he must rely on Guochao, or rely on him, the eldest brother of the prince.

The firearms of the Song Dynasty did not mean that craftsmen in Annan or Dali could make them.In his future conquests in Annan, all his reliance will be on the eldest brother...

Through the channel of the Imperial City Division, the second prince first brought his family members back to Bianliang in any capacity...

At the beginning when he left Bianliang, he was carrying his family with a ulterior motive. Unexpectedly, he came back after going around in circles.

He did this because he wanted to show his heart... From then on, he was the general of the imperial court fighting abroad, not the second prince, and like other generals, he put his family members in Bianliang.

To say I am willing, I am really willing.

It was only after he was kicked out by the imperial army that he realized what he called extraordinary. Without the very foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, everything would cease to exist.

These years, if Duan Lianyi was not worried about Da Song, he might have partnered with Annan and buried himself.

Otherwise, after Annan laid down a huge territory, he would still have to break his head alone at the border just to enter the country.

After this incident, he also understood that perhaps family affection is the most important thing.And the eldest brother, it seems that he is really no worse than him, not only in strategy...

Maybe it's because of circumstances, who knows.

There are some things that cannot be kept from the whole world, or in other words, loopholes are deliberately left to let the courtiers know.

As for the retired soldiers, they all seemed to know what was going on.

……

The funerals of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Hui were grand, and this was the first national funeral since the Song Dynasty was strong and prosperous.

The lonely figure of the second prince at the funeral, isolated by all the clan members of the Great Song Dynasty, made all the guests feel like a bereaved dog.

Although I am very puzzled about the officials of the Great Song Dynasty allowing this mourning dog to worship, it is all due to the pedantry of the Great Song Dynasty... nothing more than governing the country with filial piety.

And just after the funeral, the second prince didn't even return to Bianliang, and was escorted away by soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty under the watchful eyes of all the guests...

"The official's play..."

What's going on, everyone in Ge Laoyuan knows.At this time, he had half-retired from the court, and Wen Yanbo talked too much, and he still had the mentality of a bystander.

"Aren't you worried about raising tigers?"

Han Qi was still like that, as if he was telling Fu Bi.

Although Fu Bi is also a counselor of the old man's house, it seems that Fu Bi wants to get close to the officials, and the officials often summon Fu Bi.

"It's nothing to raise a tiger. The official's meaning is very clear. Annan and the small countries around Annan, as much as the second prince can get, is his."

"However, whether it can be won and how much it can be won depends on the support of Guochao. Looking at the retired soldiers this time, the old man seems to have seen some soldiers from the old guard battalion."

"Are there any soldiers in the old guard battalion?"

"If the imperial court says it has it, then it has it..."

When Han Qi heard Fu Bi's remarks, he also felt that he was asking a little ignorantly.

Obviously, the so-called desperadoes who fought in Annan were more like the court's vanguard battalion.

"Yanguo, since the officials are interested, why bother? Is it possible that Guochao still needs to be polite to Annan?"

Maybe it's because you use your brain less, maybe you have less contact with court affairs, or maybe it's because the information is not smooth.Han Qi asked again.

Fu Bi looked at Han Qi, he didn't believe that Han Qi couldn't understand...

"Although my cabinet has regained the northwest and southwest, it has not really stabilized the regained land. Does Zhigui think that the country can withstand a major war now?"

"From the later period of the first emperor, after the officials improved the tax revenue of the court, the court has been accumulating money and food, including the substantial increase in these years. But even so, the battle to destroy Xixia almost emptied the left and right treasuries."

"Afterwards, the imperial court was not relieved, because the crown prince was attacked, and the officials had to take down the southwest land with a strong posture. Didn't you really think that the Song Dynasty could sweep the world?"

Fu Bi casually nodded. As for the fact that he knew that the officials were following the trend, he believed that Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, and the civil servants and military generals in the Ge Laoyuan all understood it.

He didn't believe that among the scattered soldiers marching to the southern border at this time, they were not as close as the counselors of the Old Court.

As for the fourth prince...

After the funeral, the team that the Fourth Prince had already left gathered again, with many new recruits...

"Fourth brother, regarding the trip to the east, Daddy has long been concerned about it. Daddy said, let Gu not mind about some things about the fourth brother. The trip to the east was also planned by the imperial court, so this matter cannot fail!"

At this time, Zhao Xi knew the behavior of the second child, so he explained to the prince what the fourth child did.

Subduing the fourth child will naturally be given to the prince.

"For the trip eastward, we must first use Yizhou and Ryukyu as the base point, use Fusang and Koryo as the means of bartering, and aim at exploring products..."

After all, he is a compatriot, the prince was not polite to this fourth brother at all, and he gave instructions in the form of face-to-face instruction.

Maybe the talent of the second child made me feel a little wary...~The fourth child is just clever and has no courage.

To talk about the actions of the second child, after all, there are some obvious things, and the court or the father needs to give himself the right to control him.

What the fourth child did, maybe some court officials knew about it, and the prince felt that he could handle him completely, and he didn't even need to borrow the court's military equipment.

Therefore, the prince directly called the fourth child to the East Palace, and ordered in such a tone.
