Wu Haogu wanted Jiehe City to export weapons, not weapons that were allowed to be held by the people! That is, "armor, crossbows, spears, guns, equipment" and other weapons that equip the army.

Previously, the Wu family in Haizhou had been dredged joints and wanted to export iron tools to Goryeo. In Wu Haogu's view, it is good to export iron weapons directly. The Koreans still have to reprocess, how troublesome it is, just build it for them and send it to them?

Moreover, Jiehe City is not a Jiehe commercial market. The latter is about the same as the town market and grass market that the people buy, and it is not too unruly. And Jiehe City Bo Division is a justifiable official! It is not subject to the control of civilian weapons.

Once the Jiehe City Ship Division has the right to export weapons, then Wu Haogu can further seek to expand his power, and find various excuses for the Jiehe City Ship Division to set up a "weapon office" to build weapons. In this way, it is equivalent to the establishment of an arms manufacturing industry in Jiehe Shang City, and even the iron smelting industry can be further established......

With his own weapons manufacturing industry, Wu Haogu was able to start improving the quality of weapons manufacturing.

"Okay," Zhao Ji smiled, "The envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom has already mentioned the lifting of the ban on the export of iron weapons, so it is better to sell weapons to them directly." Anyway, the Goryeo Kingdom and my Great Song Dynasty face each other across the sea, even if they become bigger, it is also a trouble for the Khitans. ”

"Your Majesty." Wu Haogu secretly sighed in his heart, he was not worried that Zhao Ji insisted on imposing an arms embargo on the Goryeo Peninsula, but that he was too generous and directly gave weapons to the Goryeo people, so that it would be difficult for Wu Haogu to use the arms trade to manipulate the Goryeo-Nuzhi War!

After talking about money and arms, Zhao Ji's face suddenly became gloomy, and he let out a long sigh: "I always dream of the sixth brother these days...... The sixth brother blamed me for treating my sister-in-law badly in a dream, and welcomed back the Meng family, who had long been deposed, and made him the queen of the sixth brother, which broke the family law of etiquette. Dalang, do you think I was really wrong to do that? ”

Although he is a faint king, he is not stupid! At least the reason is high-sounding.

"Your Majesty's actions are a last resort," Wu Haogu said solemnly, "The world knows that this is the decree of Empress Qin Sheng (Empress Dowager Xiang), Your Majesty is the most filial king, how can you disobey the queen mother?" ”

Zhao Ji nodded again and again, he is a filial son! That's why I had no choice but to welcome Meng back.

"However," Wu Haogu considered his words, "Empress Yuanyou was indeed abolished by the first emperor, and after the abolition of the king, it was like a civil husband and wife divorced, and there was no husband and wife from now on, and the first emperor set up Empress Yuanfu again, so the queen's title belonged." And welcoming back Empress Yuanyou after the death of the first emperor is like marrying a wife to his deceased brother, and he is also ranked above the original sister-in-law. This is indeed inappropriate, and it is no wonder that the first emperor entrusted His Majesty with dreams. ”

"That makes sense!" Zhao Ji nodded in agreement, this martial artist can really talk nonsense, no wonder some people say that he is a "great Confucian".

"And the first emperor has always been benevolent and filial, if the Empress Qin Sheng is opposed by the spirit of heaven, how can he trust his dream to His Majesty?" Wu Haogu continued to interpret the dream to Song Huizong, "Since the first emperor entrusted the dream, then the spirit of the Holy Empress of Qin in the sky must have realized that this matter was inappropriate. ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhao Ji nodded again and again, "Now the queen mother must regret it in heaven." ”

"If a person is not a sage, he can be without fault, and he can change after passing by, and he is very good." Wu Haogu said, "Since the Heavenly Spirits of the First Emperor and Empress Qinsheng have realized that it is inappropriate to reinstate Empress Yuanyou, then Your Majesty should correct it for them." ”

Zhao Ji frowned and asked, "How to correct it?" ”

"Naturally, I will invite Empress Yuanyou back to Yaohua Palace." When Wu Haogu said this, he was a little uneasy in his heart.

Of course, he knew that this Empress Meng was a salted fish that could turn over, and there was a third chance to turn over in history, first by the puppet Chu Emperor Zhang Bangchang as the queen mother, and later she set up Song Gaozong Zhao Gou - the emperor of Great Chu set up a queen mother of the Great Song Dynasty, and this queen mother set up a Great Song Gaozong, and later this Emperor Gaozong killed Zhang Bangchang, who established the Empress Dowager Meng...... This relationship is really complicated!

However, one thing is certain, if he helps Zhao Ji abolish the Meng clan now, he will not be able to recognize Zhao Gou as an official in the future...... Otherwise, he would have to go to the Storm Pavilion earlier than Yue Fei.

"I think so too......," Zhao Ji said slowly, "Besides, is it too thin for me to treat Empress Yuanfu?" ”

Too thin? Wu Hao Guxin said: It's too thin now, and in the future, when people are old and decrepit, they should turn their faces and force people to die (Queen Yuanfu has been the queen mother for more than ten years, but finally committed suicide)!

"Sister-in-law...... Like a mother! Wu Haogu said, "After all, Your Majesty's throne comes from your brother rather than your father, and it is also appropriate to treat the imperial sister-in-law like a mother." ”

"That's right!" Zhao Ji nodded yes, "If I treat the imperial sister-in-law like a mother, should I respect the imperial sister-in-law as the queen mother?" ”

This brain...... Wu Haogu was also a little speechless, why did he think of making Empress Liu the queen mother? The queen mother is a little older than the emperor! Aren't you uncomfortable? When I turn around, I will make a conflict, and then force a very good to death...... It's getting more and more like a faint king!

"This is a family matter of His Majesty, and the ministers are not allowed to hear about it."

Wu Haogu actually disapproves of saying this, but Queen Liu is being favored, and she is a villain, so there is no need to do it.

Zhao Ji shook his head, "Da Lang, do you think it's inappropriate?" ”

“……”

Seeing Wu Haogu's embarrassed face, Zhao Ji smiled and said: "There are only me, Da Lang, Pan Qing and Gao Yu here, what can't be said?" ”

Wu Haogu pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is right to treat Empress Yuanfu favorably, but this dynasty has always ruled the world with filial piety, so the status of this queen mother is still too high......"

"This ...... Let me think about it. Zhao Ji seemed to be a little shaken by Wu Haogu's words, and he paused, "It's not easy to invite the Meng family back to Yaohua Palace, Da Lang, what are your good plans?" ”

Wu Haogu said: "It's not difficult, it's just reasoning." ”

"Reasonable?" Zhao Ji frowned, what he did could still reason with others?

"The heavens and the earth are big, and the truth is the greatest," Wu Hao Gu said, "Your Majesty should convince people with virtue and reason." As long as the truth is explained to the people of the world, the rulers in the court will not object. ”

Does that make sense?

Zhao Jixin said: Where are those powerful ministers so reasonable?

"Da Lang," Zhao Ji paused, "Can you go and talk about Han Zhongyan over there?" ”

Convince Han Zhongyan to support the abolition of Empress Meng? How is this possible? The new party may support this, but the old party will definitely oppose it one-sidedly! If Han Zhongyan loses his position on this issue, can he still be the leader of the gentlemen of the old party?

"You don't have to tell the ministers about this," Wu Haogu said slowly, "but you can actually tell it to the people of the world." ”

"Tell the world?" Zhao Ji was stunned, "How do you say it?" Do you want to put up notices everywhere? ”

"Of course not," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Doesn't Your Majesty have the mouthpiece of Wenqu Star magazine?" ”

"Wenqu Star Magazine?" Zhao Ji furrowed his brows slightly.

Is it appropriate to take the struggle in the harem to the magazine "Wenqu Xing"?

"Your Majesty," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Of course, the Wenqu Star magazine can't directly talk about things in the palace, but it can be discussed whether it is humane to set up a main room for the deceased brother?" The minister can make a slight move to attract the participation of figures from both the DPRK and China. As long as they all express their opposing opinions in the magazine "Wenqu Xing", then as gentlemen, there should be no different opinions in the court. ”

After the reinstatement of the Meng family, the essence is to establish a main room for the deceased brother, and it is also a monogamy, which is sure to violate Confucian ethics. If it hadn't happened to Empress Meng, it would definitely attract criticism from righteous gentlemen.

Once everyone has reached a consensus, then the resistance to abolishing Empress Meng will be greatly reduced - this thing is too twisted, if everyone can build a main house for the deceased brother and deceased father, and turn the original main house into a second room, then the Confucian code of ethics is often not completely messed up?

Therefore, once this matter is brought to the table for discussion, it will undoubtedly be scolded as incestuous by Confucian gentlemen. When the public opinion is one-sided, Zhao Ji will be able to talk about the matter of the abolition of Meng.

At that time, the old party gentlemen in the court can only pinch their noses and admit it! You can't say in the magazine "Wenqu Xing" that you will set up a main house for your dead brother and father, and oppress the original sister-in-law and stepmother who are not as good as beasts, and then ask Song Huizong to be a beast in the court, right?

"Good!" Song Huizong stroked his palms and smiled, "It's still Dalang, you have a way, this matter ...... That's it! ”

"Your Majesty," Wu Haogu paused, "this matter can't be done casually. ”

Zhao Ji asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wu Haogu smiled: "After all, the minister is ...... Military attachés and businessmen, so this "Wenqu Xing" magazine is not very tenable after all. ”

The magazine "Wenqu Xing" can be "incubated" by the Republican Bank, but once it grows and grows, it cannot be continued by the Republican Bank - this is the mouthpiece of the bourgeoisie! Once the true face of "Wenqu Xing" is recognized, it will be a time bomb.

If it is in the hands of the Republican Bank, sooner or later the Republican Bank will be dragged down. After all, Republic Bank is a profit-oriented trading house, and "Wenqu Xing" is not something it can play.

So I have to find a more powerful new father for "Wenqu Xing" as soon as possible!

And this new father, of course, is Zhao Xiaoyi.

"So," Wu Hao Gudao, "Chen wanted to transfer the magazine "Wenqu Xing" to Zhao Xiaoyi. ”

"To me?" Zhao Ji was stunned.

"Your Majesty," Wu Haogu said, "it was transferred to Zhao Xiaoyi." ”

"Aren't Zhao Xiaoyi and I just the same person?"

Wu Haogu smiled: "What is inconvenient for Your Majesty to do, Zhao Xiaoyi can do...... And His Majesty has never admitted that it is Zhao Xiaoyi. ”

Zhao Ji thought about it, as if it made some sense, "Then the "Wenqu Xing" magazine will still be in charge of you." ”

"Your Majesty," Wu Haogu hurriedly shook his head and said, "The minister can't control it...... The minister is fortunate to be close to the businessman, and it is inconvenient to come forward. ”

"Then who can care about "Wenqu Xing"?"

"Of course, it's some scholars who don't have official status."
