Chapter 606 Encouragement
After the banquet, Tokyo City was still brightly lit.
During the Grand Court meeting, martial law was strictly followed throughout the city. Although no curfew was imposed, the Yulin Army could be seen on every street.
The Imperial City Department also transferred 12 hours to station.
Many officials left after drinking the imperial wine at the court meeting, and the nightlife had just begun.
There is no need to say more about the prosperity of Tokyo City.
On weekdays, these officials cannot understand them locally.
Once a year, I should always have a good time.
Some officials couldn't help but sigh that Tokyo City is really the same every year.
The tall buildings that were still under construction last year have now stood between pavilions and pavilions, like sharp swords that soared straight into the sky.
Some officials also sighed that when we came last year, there were no street lights, and this year it was already full of stone lamps, and the oil inside was also full of people.
Moreover, there are a lot of snack bars, and even in the cold weather, it cannot stop the people's pursuit of food.
What I saw most was that a group of people were wearing blue uniforms, riding horses, carrying a large box behind them, and I didn’t know what was inside.
After asking, I found out that it was a city delivery team formed by a new trading company called "Hungry" under Huaxing Trading Company.
Specially deliver delicious food to people.
In other words, in Tokyo, you don’t leave your home and just need a greeting, and someone nearby will go to your home to record the food you need, and then ride a fast horse to spread the news. After half an hour, the food will be delivered.
In addition, Lin Ji Soap has been released, and a group of beautiful ladies are queuing up to buy it.
It is said that it is the most popular in Tokyo recently.
The business of Linji Soap Shop has been in full swing in the Song Dynasty in recent years. Many prefectures and even small counties have branches, which is a real and powerful trading company in the Song Dynasty.
The owner of its trading company, Lin Shaotang, ranked 30th on the wealth list.
However, the latest models are only available in Tokyo City. Some officials were told by their wife many times before leaving, and they must buy the latest models of Linji soap, otherwise they would not come back.
Zhao Chen's carriage stopped at the gate of Kang Wang Mansion.
"Uncle Kang Wang."
Zhao Chen walked to the door of the villa and saluted Zhao Gou, who was already sitting in waiting.
"Sit down."
There is an incense burner, a well-textured sword, and a musket with excellent workmanship.
This is a short musket with gems inlaid on the side.
"This is what Ling Zhen gave to me. It is said that it is the prototype of the sixth generation musket. His Majesty has one, and I have one here. I only like to write, write, draw flowers and plants on weekdays. I am not interested in these. It is a waste to stay with me. It is better to give it to you."
Zhao Chen was slightly stunned: "Uncle Kang, this..."
"You are the King of Liao now, so you can treat it as a congratulations to you."
"Thank you, Uncle Wang."
"Brother Chen, you are the King of Liao now, and you should be more cautious in your words and deeds. You should not show your depression in the hall at will in the future. If someone with a heart takes advantage of the problem in front of His Majesty, it will be detrimental to you."
Zhao Chen was shocked and realized the seriousness of the problem. He was named King of Liao, but he was very depressed. This was indeed a very dangerous behavior.
"I see."
Zhao Gou smiled gently and said, "The Supreme Emperor misses you very much."
"I miss the Supreme Emperor very much. I haven't seen him for several years. Is he okay?"
"Fortunately, you just can't see him now."
Zhao Chen fell silent, and he knew the reason why he could not see Zhao Ji.
The emperor and the Supreme Emperor were incompatible with each other, and the Supreme Emperor was under house arrest for more than ten years.
The scene of being scolded in the last royal family incident is still vivid in my mind.
"Come on, drink! This is a wine shipped from the Europa mainland. The locals call it whiskey, which is from a remote island country."
"Europa mainland? Where is that?"
"It's understandable that you don't know. In recent years, I have been in charge of the Maritime Bureau and have a good understanding of foreign trade. Further west of the Western Regions, there is a world called the Europa Continent. This name was chosen by Your Majesty. It was a relatively poor and chaotic place. People put all their hopes on God. According to Your Majesty, the Great Qin State moved from there to the Western Regions."
Zhao Chen was confused when he heard this, but couldn't help but sigh: "The world outside is really big!"
Zhao Chen picked up the wine glass, and Zhao Gou said, "Don't drink it first."
"how?"
"Add a piece of ice first, it tastes better."
"Uncle Kang Wang, where do you know all of these?"
"It was told by the government that there were only two bottles of wine in total, and one bottle in the government. He invited me to drink one and gave me another one."
Looking at the dark yellow liquid, Zhao Chen hesitated for a moment and drank it all. The bitter taste instantly changed his color.
"Hahaha, it seems you are not used to drinking."
"Uncle Kang Wang, it's okay, it tastes good, so I'll give me another cup."
So the two of them started to drink. Soon, Zhao Chen was already dizzy when he drank.
Then start pouring bitter water.
"Uncle Kang Wang, you don't know how hard I was in the South China Sea. I have time to understand why my father is so cruel! I am not convinced, I have made contributions in the South China Sea, and I have made contributions in Xianzhou. I have worked diligently in the past few years!"
"Brother Chen, you have drunk too much, stop drinking."
"Uncle Wang, I didn't drink too much, I felt so bitter!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Chen suddenly increased his voice.
Zhao Gou hurried out and asked the people outside to clear everyone around Yayuan and inform the housekeeper that no one would see him for help.
When he came back, Zhao Chen was still drinking.
Zhao Gou said: "Don't think too much, be your King of Liao."
Zhao Chen suddenly raised his head and said with a burning look: "I don't want to be the King of Liao!"
Zhao Gou pretended not to know anything: "Then what do you want to do? Be a general?"
"I am the eldest prince, I am Duke Chong, personally conferred by the Supreme Emperor. In the order of seniority, I should be the crown prince. I am already twenty-two years old this year!"
"Brother Chen, you're drunk."
"I'm not drunk, I'm talking about my heart!"
"Uncle Kang Wang, tell me why my father didn't signify me as the prince. Do you have to wait until I cure Xianzhou?"
Zhao Gou looked at him with a look of almost pity, and then shook his head and smiled: "Zhao Chun is always inseparable from the official family."
When Zhao Chen heard this, the blue veins on his forehead suddenly burst out, his eyes full of resentment: "Zhao Chun is only five years old! What does he know! The country cannot be without a crown prince for a day!"
"But now the official is indeed using him as the crown prince training."
"I don't believe it."
"I hope what I said was wrong."
Zhao Chen's whole body was trembling. He actually guessed it was like this all the time, but he didn't dare to face it.
When I returned to Tokyo this time, I heard someone say it with my own ears, but I still couldn't accept it.
He had just discovered the An County Iron Mine and had just helped the emperor solve a big problem. He was full of hope that he would ascend to the throne of the prince, but he got the news.
His heart was full of reluctance.
"Uncle Kang Wang, do I still have a chance?"
"The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and I don't know."
"Please tell me, do I have a chance?"
"Brother Chen, the official family is a talented and wise emperor. The cavalry of the Song Dynasty has penetrated into the Western Regions, and even the eagles on the grassland have been completely destroyed. In the future, more places will become the territory of the Song Dynasty. You should be clear about how many years you have been in the South China Sea. If you want to have a say in the court, you must have the support of the army."
Zhao Xing also told him the same thing, so he went to Beijing to visit Li Chongguang and brought Li Chongguang over.
"Please teach me Uncle Kang!"
