Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

Every step I took was trembling, as if I was facing an abyss.

Whatever you do, do it carefully.

I am afraid that I will fall into the trap of that treacherous official and evil thief.

They were also afraid that if they failed to govern the country well, the catastrophe that would happen more than ten months later would befall this land again.

But now?

In my hands, I not only gathered hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and generals.

There were also a large number of tanks and chariots.

If only a few months pass, armored cruisers and steam trains may even be built!

The future is promising.

The future is expected!

Zhao Ji sighed and couldn't help but walked to the bedside in the study room.

When he suddenly opened the window, a cold wind mixed with moist breath hit him.

This directly caused Zhao Ji's heart to tremble.

In the winter, the interior of the palace is a little less green than in the past, and a little more cold and solemn.

While Zhao Ji was enjoying the winter scenery in the palace very leisurely.

But suddenly, he saw a hurried figure from a distance.

It was a woman dressed as a palace maid, and at the same time, she was holding a brazier in her hand.

Zhao Ji couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene.

In my heart, I became confused again:

Although before this, every winter, a large number of charcoal braziers and countless charcoal braziers were prepared in the palace for lighting fires and keeping warm.

Black carbon.

But now, it’s not used at all?

A long time ago, I ordered that all residential areas in the palace be replaced with the geothermal system that I developed myself.

If this is the case, why are there still people walking around carrying charcoal basins specially used to hold charcoal fires?

Why is this?

Although it is such a trivial matter, for Zhao Ji, the king of a country, it is really not something that he can pay any attention to.

But Zhao Ji was very leisurely at the moment, so he left the minister's study and hurried there.

After stopping the palace maid who was holding a charcoal pot, she found out after questioning that the geothermal system at Liu Xiangning's place was broken.

As a result, the whole room was very cold.

So, he just asked his personal maid to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get some charcoal.

When Zhao Ji heard this, he immediately felt a little distressed:

"If that's the case, why don't you immediately notify the Ministry of Works and ask them to send people to your master to repair it?"

But after listening to Zhao Ji's question, the palace maid pouted with aggrieved face:

"If it's not the servants and others, I won't look for it, but it's actually the Ministry of Works. There have been too many things in recent days."

"And they also said that it is very troublesome to check the heating system, but I don't know how long it will take."

"That's why I asked my little master to wait."

Regarding this, Zhao Ji felt very helpless.

Because he had just been to the Ministry of Works a few days ago.

I also know that what this little palace maid said is absolutely correct.

So at this time, he did not blame the officials of the Ministry of Works.

Instead, he turned around and headed towards Liu Xiangning's residence together with the palace maid.

Zhao Ji vaguely remembered that it was still warm the last time he came here.

But this time, the temperature dropped by more than [-]% compared to the last time we came here.

Only the area near the charcoal basin can make people feel warmer.

Zhao Ji looked at Liu Xiangning, who was sitting on the side of the bed, covered with a quilt, still trying to warm the charcoal fire.

Immediately, I felt a sense of pity.

Zhao Ji's original plan was to take Liu Xiangning to his place immediately.

To prevent this girl from freezing in such a cold environment.

But when Zhao Ji expressed his thoughts, Liu Xiangning pouted her little mouth and said with an aggrieved face:

"If I want to stay at the Yangxin Store with the official family, I will need to pack a lot of things here."

"But right now, it's time for lunch soon."

"Otherwise, it is better to wait until after lunch, when I have packed up the daily things, and then follow the official family to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart."

But as soon as Liu Xiangning finished speaking, Zhao Ji took advantage of the situation and continued:

"It's so cold here, how can you eat?"

"or……"

As Zhao Ji spoke, a flash of light flashed across his eyes:

"It's better that way."

"Let us two have hot pot at noon today."

"It just so happened that the maid next to you also brought the charcoal fire over."

“It’s very convenient to eat hot pot like this.”

Liu Xiangning had no objection to Zhao Ji's arrangement.

At this time, she snuggled into Zhao Ji's arms very obediently and allowed Zhao Ji to say all kinds of thoughtful words to her.

After a while, a huge pure copper hot pot was brought up by several palace maids.

Next to the copper hot pot, there are more than thirty kinds of various side dishes.

Because the temperature in the room at the moment is quite low.

This means that when the copper hot pot is boiling, the surroundings are filled with steam.

At this time, Zhao Ji and his wife were enjoying the freshly cooked food while drinking a bowl of wine.

It was as if all the coldness around him had been driven away at this moment.

After lunch.

Liu Xiangning no longer felt how cold her body was, so she packed up all the things she used most frequently under the service of the palace maid beside her.

Then he and Zhao Ji went to the Nourishing Heart Hall.

Because Zhao Ji is here, I haven't had a good conversation with Liu Xiangning for a long time.

So today, I dedicated a long time to spend a lot of time talking with Liu Xiangning.

And what about Liu Xiangning?

I smiled very happily today.

Although Liu Xiangning felt ashamed of the lingering words of love from Zhao Ji.

But listening to it, it feels like drinking honey.

Stay until dinner time.

Zhao Ji and Liu Xiangning, a sweet couple, had just picked up the chopsticks placed beside the dining table and had not yet eaten.

Eunuch Sheng, who had been guarding both sides of the door before, suddenly walked in at this moment.

He also reported something to Zhao Ji that made him very confused:

"To report to the officials, Xiao Shufei's place sent someone to tell them that there seems to be something wrong with their geothermal heating system."

"And now at the Ministry of Industry, there is simply no manpower available to go there to inspect."

"Look at the official family, are we going to bring Concubine Xiao Shu to the Yangxin Hall and live with the official family?"

The original Zhao Ji just wanted to live a peaceful and sweet world with Liu Xiangning.

But when I heard these words, I suddenly felt mixed feelings in my heart:

It's not impossible to ask her to come over now.

Although before that, I didn’t have much contact with that Concubine Xiao Shu.

He has never even slept with him.

But what if one more person comes in to the world between the two of us?

It always feels a little weird.
