According to the emperor's will, Jing Hong set up a high wall from the imperial garden to Zhaoyang Palace, as the residence of the emperor. Emperor Taishang changed the Ruyi Palace to the Taifei Palace, and he moved all his concubines to the Taifei Palace. Because Concubine Shu has a princess, she also helps her sister take the young six princes, and she still lives in Chunxi Palace.

Jing Hong and Feng Ling live in the Fengyi Palace, which is closest to the Liangyi Palace. Xiao Hezi and Xiao Fengzi are the eunuchs in charge of Fengyi Palace, Xiao Hezi manages Jinghong's daily life, and Xiao Fengzi manages Feng Ling's daily life. After several of Feng Ling's big palace maids got married, she promoted Xiaoxi to be a big palace maid, and Mama Zhang was still the housekeeper.

The Wei family, who was named Concubine De by Jinghong, lived in Yonghe Palace. The new emperor no longer chooses beauties to enter the harem, so that the entire harem seems empty.

No matter how the ministers wrote to ask His Majesty to choose beauties to enrich the harem, Jinghong ignored them. Jinghong concentrated on controlling the country, and he drastically implemented some new policies.

He encouraged the villagers to reclaim their wasteland, which they owned and did not have to pay taxes for five years. After hearing the news, the village farmers actively searched for land to open up the wasteland, and they leveled the barren mountains into terraced fields, and filled the swamps into fertile fields, and the former barren land is now planted with grain.

He encouraged people to have children, and after each family had three children, the court rewarded five taels of silver for each child. As a result, the population of Youzhou has increased dramatically every year.

He encouraged people to do business, and goods could be transported from south to north, or from north to south, using official roads, and only need to pay some road construction taxes. He then used the road construction tax paid by the merchants to expand the official road and build river transportation. Youzhou's commerce and trade prospered, the economy grew year by year, and the treasury was piled up with silver.

He encouraged education for all, so that talents were qualified to teach, and they could receive silver grain subsidies from the imperial court every year. As long as they are children, the imperial court will provide some pens, ink and paper free of charge; those who show off their talents are exempt from taxes for their families and receive silver and grain subsidies; and those who are promoted can go out of office.

......

Jinghong's new policy is supervised by the prime ministers, and he only needs to deal with some things that the left and right ministers can't decide. The two prime ministers are capable, and everything can be handled carefully, so Jinghong is very idle.

Every day, in addition to going to the court, he accompanied Feng Ling to the Taishang Emperor's residence to greet him. The Emperor Taishang saw that Jing Hong was wandering around every day and had nothing to do, so he said unhappily: "When I was the emperor, I was so tired that I didn't have time to rest, so I got up early and went to bed late." It's good for you to be idle every day, and retire like me. ”

Jing Hong said with a smile: "Father, the superior only needs to come up with a policy and hand it over to a special person to implement." If the emperor has done everything, those ministers will form gangs and factions when they are idle, and they will have some thoughts of making trouble. ”

The Emperor nodded: "It can be seen that being the emperor is also a science." I put so much effort into it, and I didn't get much. ”

Jing Hong comforted him: "The Fifth Emperor Brother, under the teaching of the left and right ministers, must be far better than me as a brother." ”

The Queen Mother and Feng Ling sat on one side and listened to their conversation with a smile, and the Queen Mother frowned and said: "The two sons I gave birth to are not around, and they have not been close to me since I was a child." One was raised by the left prime minister, and the other was raised by the elder sister. I'm an unqualified mother. ”

Feng Ling said: "This is not your fault, I sent him out of the palace for the safety of the fifth emperor brother before." Later, if you want to raise him into a talent, you must continue to stay outside the palace, and the superior must make some sacrifices. ”

The Queen Mother looked at Feng Ling: "You cultivate him like this, don't you want to give birth to one and cultivate him to become a Ming Jun?"

Feng Ling quietly told the Queen Mother: "I can't give birth, I can't have a child." ”

The Queen Mother was stunned: "Does the emperor know?"

Feng Ling shook his head: "I don't know, but I'll tell him." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, she finally understood why Jing Hong had to make her son the crown prince, because Jing Hong and Feng Ling couldn't have their own children.

The Emperor Taishang was also asking Jing Hong: "You haven't had any children for so long, is Feng Ling sick?"

Jing Hong shook his head: "No, she's fine." ”

Emperor Taishang advised: "You choose a few women to put in the harem, and give birth to a child to be raised by Feng Ling." ”

Jing Hong resisted: "How can it be the same? I didn't have sex with her, I don't want it." ”

The Emperor Taishang was puzzled: "Are you so infatuated with her?

Jing Hong thought for a while and said, "It's really a strange thing, I don't feel like I've seen other women like I've seen a man." ”

Emperor Taishang quietly asked, "Did Feng Ling drug you?"

Jing Hong said categorically: "It is impossible for her to drug me." He hesitated for a moment and said, "Even if you take the drug, I am willing." ”

The Emperor gave him a blank look: "I see that you are ill." ”

Feng Ling listened to all the conversations between the two of them, and she laughed secretly. She stepped forward and said to the Emperor, "Father, do you want to learn alchemy?"

The Emperor Taishang showed a look of surprise on his face, and then shook his head: "That thing is too expensive." The previous alchemy cost tens of thousands of silver, and the flesh hurt. ”

Feng Ling covered his mouth and smiled: "Not this time, the alchemy herb Erchen asked people to go to the mountains to pick them." If you need to buy two pieces of silver, Erchen will give it to you, and you will not go through the outer and inner libraries. ”

The Emperor Taishang asked suspiciously: "Isn't the silver in your pocket still the silver of our royal family?"

Feng Ling laughed: "This retainer assures you that it is by no means the silver of the Wang family. She deliberately whispered in the ear of the emperor: "Erchen has found a treasure." ”

Hearing the treasure, the emperor's eyes lit up: "What good things are in it?"

Feng Ling took out a fist-sized Night Pearl from his sleeve, and under the light of the sun, the Night Pearl shone with a halo of Yinyin.

Emperor Taishang's eyes widened: "No wonder the previous queen made things difficult for you for the Night Pearl, I wanted to make things difficult for you when I saw such a big Night Pearl." A few people laughed.

Feng Ling smiled and stretched out his hand to hand the Night Pearl to the Emperor Taishang: "Don't make it difficult, your son will honor you." ”

Emperor Taishang took the night pearl and looked at Feng Ling: "Take the short hand, let's say, what's the matter?"

Feng Ling said: "Father Emperor does not force Jing Hong to choose a woman, enter the palace, and the son will teach you the art of alchemy." ”

The Emperor Taishang pouted: "What's the use of me letting him choose a woman to enter the palace, he hasn't even entered the door of Concubine De." He asked curiously, "You really know the art of alchemy, where did you learn it?"

"Taishang Laojun learned it. ”

The Emperor Taishang muttered disapprovingly, "I still learned it from the Jade Emperor." ”

Since then, Feng Ling has taught Emperor Taishang to refine the pill and cultivate himself every day. She asked the two kittens to go to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, and the two kittens got the freedom order, and ran crazy into the mountains every day, and the collected medicinal materials were piled up in a warehouse.

In the harem, the Emperor Taishang alchemy, the Queen Mother painted and played the piano, Concubine De occasionally went to help Concubine Shu take the six princes, and the concubines chatted and ate fasting and chanted Buddha.

The Youzhou Palace has never been so peaceful and calm, there is no competition for favor in the deep palace, there is no blood, there is no killing.

The people of Youzhou outside the deep palace also lived a worry-free life. Youzhou people have faces full of happy and satisfied expressions.

Jing Hong and Feng Ling occasionally dressed up as ordinary people and walked hand in hand in Chang'an City. Jing Hong saw that the people of Youzhou were busy running around for life, and seeing that Chang'an City was becoming more and more prosperous, he asked Feng Ling: "Is this a prosperous age?"

Feng Ling nodded: "The country is rich and the people are strong, this is a prosperous age." Husband, you are amazing. ”

Jing Hong smiled and said: "Because you are a husband, you are a virtuous helper." ”

Feng Ling smiled: "My husband has a good life." The two looked at each other and smiled.

Feng Ling said: "When the fifth emperor brother grows up to fifteen, he will hand over the country to him, he has the right and left to assist, and the emperor takes care of him. We can leave Chang'an with confidence and go out to live happily. ”

Jing Hong nodded: "I miss the time when we were in the cave, free and happy. ”

Feng Ling thought about it and decided to tell Yu Jinghong the truth: "Husband, do you know why I didn't have a child?"

Jing Hong has always felt very strange in his heart, why Feng Ling doesn't want his own child to be the prince, and wants to make the fifth emperor brother the prince. It is rare in history to see that the throne is passed from brother to brother.

Feng Ling whispered to him: "We are not ordinary people in this world. Both of us are immortals who have descended to the mortal world. If we give birth to blood and bones in the mortal world, he can only be reincarnated in the world as an ordinary person, and he will not be able to go to our immortal world. Only the children born after the two of us returned to the fairy world can be the children of the fairy world, and there is no need to be reincarnated. ”

Jing Hong's eyes widened in disbelief: "It's so bizarre that there is such a thing." ”

Feng Ling pointed to the sky and said, "I can't tell you too much, we will be able to go back in a few years." ”

Jing Hong was skeptical, he also saw Feng Ling's strange behavior, as well as the two magical cats that could speak human words. All of these made him believe what Feng Ling said even more.

Jing Hong thought that he would leave Youzhou in a few years, and he would be more attentive in handling government affairs, and he would give the Fifth Emperor Brother a rich and stable country.

In a few years, he settled all the people who had followed him in the past, settled them in a stable life, and left them rich silver taels.

He appointed the left and right ministers to select and nurture young talents for Youzhou. He especially mentioned Zhang Cheng, the son of the right prime minister, who is young and steady, has the demeanor of his father, and the talent of the prime minister.

In the spring of the tenth year of Youzhou Yongchang, Jing Hong and Feng Ling suddenly disappeared, and there were two kittens who left with them. Jing Hong left the Holy Decree and the Jade Seal to the Five Emperors' brothers, Feng Ling left a few alchemy recipes and a large house of alchemy medicinal materials to the Emperor Taishang, and left a box of rare treasures and a letter to the Zhenguo Mansion: We are just going out to have a good time, and we will definitely come back to visit you often.
