Cooperate? What are you kidding, the most uncooperative is him Zhao Ji.

But since Zeng Budu said so, he also said the conditions himself, and saw if he could agree to consider whether to continue to deny Zhao Ji.

"Okay, since you said so, then Tang also has a few small suggestions here that I want to mention to you, I don't know if you can agree on behalf of Your Majesty?"

"Although Danyang Hou said it, if it is not a request that crosses the bottom line, the old man can basically agree."

"First of all, Tang heard that in order to save expenses, the general is no longer making gunpowder, assault guns and other ordnance, and at the same time, the research and development of high gunpowder has also been interrupted, is this news true or false?"

Zeng Bu frowned and said, "Where did you hear about it, this is a confidential ......"

"You don't care where Tang heard about it, just say it's true or not, and it's over." Tang Ning stared at Zeng Bu and waved his hand, meaning that he didn't need to care about these details.

Zeng Bu sighed and said, "Well, these are all true. In order for His Majesty to expand Yeonfu Palace, the production and research of gunpowder has been stopped, and the cost is a bit high. ”

"Zeng Xiang, don't forget, it is precisely because of gunpowder that the army of our Great Song Kingdom can be invincible, if there is no gunpowder, back to the old hand-to-hand combat, we are not necessarily the opponent of those nomads.

Therefore, Tang hopes that the production of the prison can be resumed, and more resources will be invested in the research of high gunpowder, do you think, can this suggestion be agreed? ”

As early as in the discussion with Zhao Ji before Zeng Bu left Tokyo City, he expected that Tang Ning would have such a condition.

Although Tang Ning was deeply feared by Zhao Ji, he was still a person dedicated to the country in the final analysis. Maybe he won't show the same respect for emperors other than Zhao Xu, but he can't do anything that causes trouble in the world.

Gunpowder is the foundation of today's Song army, which has long been agreed in the Privy Council.

However, Zhao Ji invested a lot of money in this in order to expand the Yanfu Palace, which led to the emptiness of the treasury, and he had to withdraw money from other places to pay the soldiers and pay the officials.

Someone might say that it costs so much money?

The facts are used.

But it's not that the materials are expensive, nor the labor is expensive, not because it is made of gold from the inside out, but because the expansion of Yanfu Palace is handed over to five people by Zhao Ji.

They are Yang Jian, Tong Guan, and Liang Shicheng...... Well, when I saw the names of these three people, I didn't say anything about the next two, they were all goods all the way.

There are five parasites that are constantly amassing wealth from it, and not only is the construction period delayed, but the cost is also increasing.

And Zhao Ji really has a problem with his brain, in his eyes Yang Jian is a reliable subordinate, Tong Guan is a trustworthy friend, and even Cai Jing, a person whose reputation for treachery is spread far and wide, is considered worthy by him

Entrusting the humerus......

What else can be expected from him? What else can be expected from him?

Thinking about it this way, it is not surprising that the Northern Song Dynasty will experience the shame of Jingkang in the last years, and to be honest, it is still too late to usher in this day in the twenty-seventh year after Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne.

Sighing, Zeng Bu pretended to be very embarrassed and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the old man agreed!" ”

In fact, he had already proposed this matter to Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji also agreed.

"Thank you, Tsang!" Tang Ning arched his hand: "Zeng Xiang understands the righteousness, and Tang admires it very much." ”

"Okay, don't say anything more about this, what else do you suggest?" Zeng Bu bit the word suggestion very hard, because this was obviously Tang Ning's condition.

"Well, the second suggestion is that Tang doesn't want to toss his family anymore. Moreover, there have been a lot of recent events, and Tang hopes that even if Tang leads the troops to fight outside, his family can continue to stay in Runzhou. ”

"Hmm...... Although this is a bit excessive, it is not impossible, well, this old man agreed. ”

"The last one...... Tang Ning squinted his eyes and said, "Tang hopes that after Tang returns to the Zhenguo Army, he can replace all the lieutenant generals and colonels with the original members." ”

Zeng Bu immediately said: "This can't work. ”

"Why not?" Downing asked, "Just like a soldier choosing a weapon, you can't let a first-class archer wield a sword, right?" Isn't this nonsense? ”

Zeng Buxin said that you kid is really talking a lot, and this condition can never be agreed.

Although His Majesty wants to use you, he has never said that he believes you, so isn't it a matter of course to place his men in the army to spy on you? If you transfer them all, won't Your Majesty know about it in case you rebel?

This is absolutely not good, it's not that I can't pass this level, but Your Majesty can't pass it.

Tang Ning spread his hands and said: "If this doesn't work, then forget it, anyway, Runzhou didn't suffer." ”

"Don't you understand the truth of cold lips and teeth? Why are you embarrassed to say cool things here? ”

Zeng Bu couldn't bear it, he didn't need to endure it anymore, and angrily reprimanded Tang Ning.

"Oh, then I'll go back and lead the Zhenguo Army when Runzhou suffers." After that, Tang Ning got up and said: "It seems that Tang can't reach a consensus with Zeng Xiang, Zeng Xiang, you better hurry back to Tokyo City, maybe you won't be able to find Tokyo City when it's too late." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Although Zeng Bu knew that what Tang Ning said was not a good thing, he still asked stupidly.

"Of course, the rebels will destroy the city of Tokyo, I heard that the Yanfu Palace is called a beautiful one, five palaces compete for ingenuity, and there are treasures in the world!"

"You ......" Zeng Bu looked at Tang Ning in horror, he never expected Tang Ning to say such curse-like words from his mouth.

"Sending off guests." Seeing Zeng Bu's expression, Tang Ning didn't bother to tease the old man, and after giving an order to the left and right, he prepared to leave with his hands behind his back.

But just when he stepped out of the threshold on the front foot, Zeng Bu said behind him: "Danyang Hou, the old man hopes that you can think about it." ”

"Zeng Xiang, do you know why I never lost? Whether it's fighting robbers or fighting the Jurchens, do you want to know why Tang was given the title of a hundred victories by them? Tang Ning looked at Zeng Bu, who seemed to be many years old, and said.

Zeng Bu's tired eyes lit up all of a sudden, could it be that Tang Ning was going to teach himself the secret of winning a hundred battles here? So he asked expectantly, "The reason is ......"

"Because I never fight a battle that I won't win." Downing gave a very simple answer.

"......" Zeng Bu muttered, "But Your Majesty will never agree......"

"Then let him hold his Yanfu Palace and eat!"

“……”

…………………………

finally said what was in his heart, Tang Ning is very cool now.

Zhao Ji has never let go of himself this dog day, and in the more than a year since he returned to Runzhou, there have been officials from Wude Division near his home to monitor him.

At first, Tang Ning didn't know that it was Senior Brother He Guan who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and when he was itchy to steal something, he accidentally stole the head of the Wude priest and stole their waist cards back.

He Guan didn't know how to read, so he approached Tang Ning and wanted to ask him if this thing was worth anything.

It used to be like this, because Downing would tell him too. Because he knew that He Guan was stealing things now not for money, but so that his skills as a gentleman on the beam would not be wasted.

Every time he went to steal the night before, he would return it the next night as it was.

Asking the price is just to sigh and say, for example: "Wow, this kind of rag is so valuable!" "Something like that.

God knows how Tang Ning felt when he saw the waist card of the Martial Arts Officer, and he still had a full head of hair at that time.

After that, Zhao Ji's status in Tang Ning's heart was not much like a piece of, if it weren't for the fact that he and Zhao Xu were born from the same father, he would have painted Zhao Ji as a painting and hung it on the wall to throw feces at him.

Of course, if Zhao Ji and Zhao Xu were not born from the same father, the leader of the rebel army would not be Fang La, but he Tang Ning.

But this sentence undoubtedly made Zeng Bu suffer a lot, and in a sense, he became a victim of this sentence.

On the one hand, he expected Tang Ning to make contributions to the Great Song Kingdom again, but on the other hand, he couldn't sit idly by and ignore Tang Ning, who hated the Son of Heaven.

Should you tell Your Majesty this sentence? Zeng Bu, who was sitting on the return boat, fell into deep thought......
