Chapter 37: Showing off one's edge

 Of course, the Privy Council has prepared refreshments, but it just happened that Zhao Guangmei’s resident was not there. After all, his resident was also temporarily vacated.

Zhao Pu seemed to really want to talk to him, but he actually opened the door and called a passerby. He took out a box of good tea and some snacks from his own government office, set up a charcoal fire and started boiling water and making tea.

"The third young master seems to be quite reluctant to come to the Privy Council to take the job?"

"Nonsense, who would like to be a serious person? Besides, I'm still busy preparing for the exam? My elder brother should be able to get a entries this year. How many months will it take?"

"It hasn't been decided yet, but the founding of the new dynasty will definitely be held. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be May. I'm not very clear about the specifics. After all, I'm not the prime minister either."

Zhao Guangmei curled her lips when she heard this, and the next half sentence was distracted.

Zhao Pu was a very magical and special person in the early Song Dynasty. Although there were few historical records, one thing is certain, that is, which position he was in and which position he was prime minister, and an official position was a name for him.

Moreover, no matter which yamen he is in, he will be a one-man sect. He is absolutely arbitrary. All the assistants he is appointed as secretary and have almost zero influence.

At least this was the case in the early stages of the Taizu Dynasty.

This person has an extremely strong personality and is indeed very capable. Therefore, Zhao Guangmei himself also knows that his so-called Privy Council bachelor is purely a chore. If the positions of him and Zhao Pu change, he will be the Privy Councilor and Zhao Pu become the Privy Councilor, then... I'm afraid he will still be a chore for Zhao Pu.

So seeing Zhao Pu's attitude of having to chat well, Zhao Guangmei took the initiative to say: "Brother Pu, don't worry, I will listen to you in the future. I came to the Privy Council to study. Although I am a little bolder sometimes, I will definitely not dare to cause trouble for you in military and national affairs."

"Then I would like to thank the third son. The third son's intelligence and courage are naturally far above me. What you lack is just the experience of doing things in a pragmatic way. However, experience is the most difficult to make up for with wisdom. Everything in this world is like this. If you don't enter the game yourself, you will never be able to understand the true details of the matter. It will always be shallow. The same is true for the official family to ask you to come to the Privy Council. If the third son is unwilling to do small things, he will inevitably suffer a big loss in the future."

"I certainly understand the truth you are talking about. Governing the country and the army cannot be achieved by being clever. Naturally, I know that I can learn a lot from you, but I also have a small, very small request."

"Please tell me, my son."

"Before the imperial examination, give me some freedom. If you are here, don't let me interfere. What you and my brother have recently talked about are major issues. I won't get involved in such major events. As for you, you will also give me more time to prepare for the exam. When the imperial examination is over, I will pass the Jinshi and become a Jiedushi. At that time, I will still be my direct bachelor of the Privy Council and then be your assistant. I will always be your helper. How about you?"

Zhao Pu became more and more surprised when he heard this. At first glance, he was a little surprised that Zhao Guangmei could clearly state that he and the government were discussing major events in recent months.

This so-called major event is naturally the reform of the imperial guards and the action of collecting power by the government. However, if the imperial guards are to undergo major reforms, those senior generals will inevitably hinder them, so they must find ways to seize their military power. However, Zhao Kuangyin himself is also a member of the generals, and these generals pushed up one by one.

He had just ascended the throne and his status was not stable, so he had to take the general's door first. This matter was so thrilling and complicated that he and Zhao Kuangyin had to walk on thin ice. In this calculation, he really took every step very carefully and tried his best to remain calm.

He could almost be sure that there would be no third person to know about this matter except Zhao Kuangyin himself and himself. Even this third son, Zhao Kuangyin would not tell him. After all, who knows whether he would reveal his character?

You should know that his wife is Zhang Lingduo's biological daughter, and Zhang Lingduo himself is the key figure in seizing military power this time.

Then would this so-called big thing Zhao Guangmei mentioned be the big thing in his heart? Did he guess it himself? If this is true, the intelligence of the boy in front of him would be even more than he expected.

And the reason why he didn't want to get involved was that... he didn't want to offend people? Or was he afraid of being evil and his newlywed wife?

He smiled quietly and said, "Big thing? What is the third young master referring to?"

Zhao Guangmei rolled her eyes.

"Don't test me, anyway, I'm going to take the imperial examination."

"Just to open a house?"

Zhao Guangmei thought for a while and said, "The direct purpose is to bet with my elder brother. I really want to be a military governor, but not all of them. Although this bet is made, it is just a matter of rushing to get a quarrel, but I thought about it yesterday. If I can really get into the Jinshi with my real ability, isn't this a prestige? After all, I am a national reserve? Is this beneficial to my prestige, right?"

Zhao Pu was shocked again when he heard this and said calmly: "The current national crown prince is your second brother."

"Isn't he just a transition? As long as my elder brother's health is smooth, this position will be either me or Zhao'er's, right? Doesn't Brother Pu think so? Even at my current age, do you think I'm really inferior to my second brother?"

Zhao Pu was shocked again. Zhao Laosan, after only a few words, made him feel a little unable to sit still.

With such a sharp edge, is it self-confidence or a tiger?

Is it because of his extremely cleverness, everything goes well, and his youthful mind, or... intentional?

If it was intentional, it actually makes sense. Zhao Guangyi has not had time to sharpen his edge yet. If the people of the world regard him as a transitional early, then he will be a transitional.

Especially he is so eager to open a house!

It is indeed easy to show its sharpness, but if the sharpness is too powerful, who dares to test the sword with his body?

At the same time, Yang Ye, who was busy fiddling with the tea set, couldn't help but lower his head and glance at Zhao Guangmei with his light, and then took it back quietly, feeling thoughtful.

Almost instantly, a lot of things passed through Zhao Pu's mind. For a moment, he really couldn't tell whether the third young master in front of him was wise or stupid, whether he was sincere and ignorant, or... his belly was deeper than the sea.

But he really didn't dare to treat him as a child.

After thinking repeatedly for a long time, he shouted and swallowed the words from his mouth, and then swallowed them again and again. Zhao Pu suddenly scooped and cooked tea as if he was doing homely.

"That's necessary to pass the exam. The imperial examination is a matter of choosing one in a million, or even one in a million, so it's not that easy. Instead of wasting energy in the scriptures and articles, the third young master might as well learn some skills. If you don't want to interfere in the affairs of the Privy Council, you can look at the edicts from the Han and Tang dynasties. Compared with historical books, you will naturally know the good or bad policies and understand the logic of policy operation. Since the young master boasted of the national crown prince, these are the wisdom to truly govern the country and ensure national stability. Isn't it much better than spending time on the scriptures?"

"Reading history books in response to the edict? This idea is good. When I finish the imperial examination and open a government office, I will do this. As for wasting time, I don't know, I will have two or three months left. I will definitely win the things I can do."

"Why are the third young master so confident?"

Zhao Guangmei showed an extremely sunny and cheerful grin and silly: "Because it's me, what I want to do will definitely be done."
