There are many benefits to being an emperor, but there are also corresponding disadvantages.
As a prince, it is extremely difficult for Zhao Huan to leave the city. Once he inherits the throne, he will be completely trapped in the palace. How can he have any freedom?
When the time comes, faced with overwhelming national affairs and national policies, it will be difficult to cope with it even if we put all our efforts into it, let alone find time to devote ourselves to caring for my wife.
Li Shishi bit his thin lips lightly and looked at Zhao Huan with increasingly gentle eyes: "How could the prince know so much about the slave family's thoughts?"
Zhao Huan grinned and said shamelessly: "Because I understand you."
Li Shishi's cheeks turned red, but she did not turn her head to avoid Zhao Huan's gaze. Her chest was pounding and she said: "You are the king in His Majesty's mouth, and I am a humble singer."
"How can a true dragon flying in the nine heavens understand the heart of a pheasant?"
Zhao Huan sat up, leaned forward, and closed the distance between him and Master Li. He stared at Master Li who was breathing more and more rapidly, and said with a smile: "Dragon nature is the most lustful. Dragons give birth to nine sons, all of whom are different. Why do you think it is?"
Li Shishi, who had been floating in the mortal world for several years and thought he was calm, was actually provoked by Zhao Huan to become extremely shy!
This man is so good at it!
Only he can combine literate words and dirty words so naturally.
It's not boring at all.
Master Li was shy, and sighed softly, and finally turned away: "The person who can match the dragon is either a majestic and dignified phoenix like the princess, or a gentle and considerate luan like Zheng Qingyun."
"Officials, rich men, noble families, heroines, the list goes on and on."
"There are countless divine birds in the sky. Even if the real dragon's eyes fall on the mortal world, all he sees is the blue bird and the white crane, and he definitely cannot see the fluttering birds in the grass."
Li Shishi had never had any inferiority complex, but in front of Zhao Huan, she could not hide her lonely and gloomy mood.
The only man in front of her in the world can fulfill her, build her up, and love her, but he is also the only one who can't be touched.
Zhao Huan's thoughts were much more pure. He was simply afraid that Zhu Lian would kill Li Shishi.
The palace already has a concubine who was born as a singer, and there must be no second concubine.
Therefore, Zhao Huan's teasing ends as soon as he clicks.
Xiao Yan'er, who was on the side, was already filled with jealousy. She threw herself directly between Zhao Huan and Li Shishi, interrupting them.
"Your Majesty!"
"Don't you care about the slave family's feelings at all?"
"The slave family is the one who cares most about you."
Xiao Yan'er pinched her waist with both hands and pouted, looking like a little resentful woman.
As everyone knows, even if Master Li can enter the palace, Xiao Yan'er cannot. After all, Xiao Yan'er's "experience" is too rich.
At this moment, Zhu Peng's voice came from outside the door.
"Uncle, Mr. Wang would like to see you."
Zhao Huan took the opportunity to get rid of Xiao Yan'er's entanglement, walked out of the room, and sat down at the stone table.
Before, Wang Zhen was extremely aloof and aloof from Zhao Huan, but now he was kneeling on the ground in a dignified manner, showing respect and humiliation to Zhao Huan.
"I came here uninvited and disturbed the prince, please atone for my sins."
Zhao Huan waved his hand, indicating that Wang Zhen didn't need to worry about it. He pointed to the opposite side of the stone table. When Wang Zhen sat down, he took the lead and asked: "Master Wang is now the chief official of Taiyuan Mansion. There is no need to worry about anything anymore."
"I don't like to beat around the bush, so I'll just tell you the truth."
"If I left Beijing and came to Taiyuan this time just to get rid of Zhang Xiaochun and ask for military expenses, these benefits will not satisfy me at all."
"My king's idea is very simple. Yizhou Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture should form a military alliance. No matter where they are besieged, the other side should send troops to reinforce."
Seeing that Zhao Huan didn't mention the previous festival at Changqing Restaurant, Wang Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As for Zhao Huan's appetite, it was indeed surprisingly large.
As soon as this guy showed up, he kicked away the chief official of Taiyuan Prefecture, taking with him the life money of the Zhang family and the military expenses promised by His Majesty, of which 80,000 taels of silver had already been put into his pocket.
If Shu Huhu Lu could be captured again, he would be able to collect 130,000 taels of silver in one fell swoop.
For Zhao Huan, so much money is just enough to quench his thirst...
Wang Zhen didn't know whether to admire or be afraid.
"The matter of military alliance..."
Just as Wang Zhen was about to express his position, he was directly interrupted by Zhao Huan.
"I'm not afraid of you, so what are you afraid of?"
"If I touch His Majesty's reverse scale, Your Majesty will also take action against me. If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up."
Wang Zhen frowned and hesitated: "But..."
Zhao Huan didn't give Wang Zhen a chance to speak at all, his mouth was like a machine gun.
"But it's a piece of wool!"
"The Jin people know how important Taiyuan Prefecture is. As long as they attack, the army will definitely press on. Do you expect other garrison troops to support you?"
Zhao Huan, who was well aware of the historical process, knew very well how tragic Wang Zhen's end was.
Neither the imperial court nor the various garrisons can be relied upon.
If you want to save the country, you must first have the means to save yourself.
"I am willing to tell you the truth, but you are still trying to make excuses. Are you willing to do that?"
really!
As Zhao Huan talked, he became angry and angry, his mouth became more and more venomous, and his words became more and more unpleasant.
Seeing that Zhao Huan was about to point at Wang Zhen's nose and start scolding him for being ungrateful, Wang Zhen quickly interrupted with a wave of his hand.
"Since the prince has said everything that needs to be said, I have nothing to say."
"As the prince said, if the sky falls, the prince will hold it up, so I have nothing to worry about."
"Obviously, the official is still deploying defenses in accordance with the instructions of the court. When the crisis comes, the official will naturally stand with the prince."
"Right now, what I'm most worried about is Shu Hu Hu Lu."
"If this elite guerrilla force is not eliminated for a day, the lower officials will have trouble sleeping and eating."
Zhao Huan pressed his hand and signaled Wang Zhen not to worry: "Shu Huhu Lu is worth fifty thousand guan. Even for the sake of money, I will not let him go."
"Don't worry, when I leave Taiyuan, I will definitely take Shu Huhu Lu with me."
With these words, Wang Zhen's heart fell to the ground.
Although Zhao Huan had just gone on a killing spree, Wang Zhen's eyes became calmer when he looked at Zhao Huan, because he knew that Zhao Huan was not really a madman.
"I have one more thing to do..."
"I wonder if the prince can impart some more experience on firearms?"
Firearms are indeed useless in field battles, but they can work wonders when defending a city, so Wang Zhen is most interested in improving the power of firearms.
It's really not that Zhao Huan doesn't help with this kind of thing, but that the smelting process is not up to par, so it's useless even if his mind is full of composition.
When the time comes to blow up the body and collapse to death, then the joke will be a big one.
Zhao Huan rubbed his chin and thought for a long time, then slapped his thigh for the last time: "I'll tell you a little trick in life."
"Mold a ball with molten iron, make it as thick as possible, and stuff it with gunpowder, combustion accelerants and cast iron chips."
