Chapter 1221 The Old Woman Is Nosy
Yun Dai thought that this firearm was produced with great difficulty and could not be left in vain. Not only would it take up space, it would also be damaged.
A lot of money was invested in this arsenal. In the past year, I have only seen money that went in, but no money came out. Yun Dai also hopes to sell the firearms as soon as possible and get money in return.
What's more, the imperial court is always short of money.
The Ministry of Revenue's money is never enough, and the money of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, speaking of it, is the royal family's own money. If it were not supported by the merchant ship business, I am afraid it would have been empty long ago.
It is better to inspect firearms sooner rather than later.
Yun Dai thought for a while and said: "In the afternoon. The emperor's health is getting better recently. I don't have to go there all the time. After nap, you come to my place and I will take you to the arsenal to see it."
"I'll just stay here and have lunch with you, okay?" Zhou Yizhi said, "After lunch, I'll stay here and wait for you. I don't need to take a nap."
Yun Dai smiled and said: "If you are willing to stay for dinner, I naturally appreciate it. However, you don't have to go back to accompany the Queen Mother? If you don't go back for a whole day, she will probably ask."
Zhou Yizhi sighed, "You don't know, ever since Jiang Ran was driven away by you, the Queen Mother has been feeling unhappy."
Yun Dai thoughtfully said: "Because you have a good relationship with me, so she is also disrespectful to you?"
"Not really, the main reason is that she is not in a good mood." Zhou Yizhi said, "The Empress Dowager has always had a smooth life, which is the greatest honor and support of her natal family. Now that our new emperor has ascended the throne, he has weakened Jiang The power of the family. You drove Jiang Ran away again, causing her to lose face in her family. Can she be happy in her heart? "
Yun Dai smiled and said: "Looking at you living leisurely all day long, you know everything unexpectedly."
Zhou Yizhi laughed: "What can I do? I stay in Ci'an Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager all day. Isn't it just leisure? She keeps talking about it all day long, and I have to know even if I don't want to know."
Yun Dai glanced at her.
Zhou Yizhi was only about 20 years old, which was a good time for her youth. After the death of the late emperor, as his concubine, she just stayed in Ci'an Palace day after day, wasting her time.
It’s also amazing.
Yun Dai suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly: "I remember when King Cheng rebelled, the emperor promised you that as long as you can protect the empress dowager, he will promise you that you will get what you want and join the army. What? It’s been so long since the incident, but the emperor still doesn’t fulfill his promise.”
Zhou Yizhi smiled bitterly: "The emperor did not break the contract. He did send people to ask me twice. But..."
Yun Dai understood immediately: "The Empress Dowager won't let you go?"
Zhou Yizhi acquiesced.
Yun Dai frowned and said: "This old woman is also troublesome. The emperor allows you to go out, why should she stop you?"
"She said that I am the late emperor's concubine. Logically speaking, the emperor should make me the concubine." Zhou Yizhi smiled bitterly, "The concubine..."
Seriously, she is the emperor's and empress's baby mother.
Yun Dai has to call her Zhou Niangniang.
However, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he did not give her the title of concubine.
Maybe he always remembers his promise.
Yun Dai said: "Nowadays, the Great Zhou Dynasty is relatively peaceful, and there are no wars. If you go to the army, you will not be able to play any role. Probably because of this, the emperor does not make decisions for you."
