Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Proud Emperor
In the Changle Palace, the ministers arranged by Jing Kaige have all taken their seats one by one.
"The ministers have been summoned here today mainly for the dowry of the relatives. Yesterday, the six princes made a suggestion to me, and in addition to the treasures, the dowry of the relatives was replaced by people from the sect or classics. Jing Kaige didn't talk nonsense, and said directly.
When the ministers present heard Jing Kaige's words, they all used their brains, analyzed Jing Kaige's words, and pondered the emperor's meaning.
"The specific thing is this, the six princes reminded me that the previous craftsmen, medical books, herbs and the like as dowries, although they can promote the culture of my Dahua and the wisdom of my Han people, but in the long run, this is to boost the strength of the enemy country, although these things are nothing in the eyes of us, but in the eyes of the enemy country of the foreign race, they are rare treasures, what do you think?" Jing Kaige asked casually. At this moment, his heart is very happy, showing his vision to his ministers, even if it is reminded by his own son, it is something to be proud of.
"Hearing His Majesty's words, the ministers were like an initiation, and suddenly came to their senses, what Your Majesty said was reasonable, and it was true that the ministers were short-sighted and did not think about it thoroughly." Zuo Prime Minister Hou Wanjin immediately got up and blamed himself and said, they have all been in politics all their lives, and they can think through whatever they want.
"Hehe, I don't blame you, now that I know about this, here's how to deal with it. Yesterday, the six princes had already made a suggestion to me, and after thinking about it, I thought it was very good, and this time it was mainly for you to consult together. Jing Kaige continued.
"Your Majesty, please." The ministers present said in unison.
"The six princes proposed to make peace with Buddhism this time, and the Taoist people brought their own classics and went to make peace with Princess Qingquan, if these sect people can take root in the Youth League and promote their teachings, it is the best, even if it is not the imperial court that cannot be lost, what do you think?" Jing Kaige explained simply.
"Your Majesty, such words are estimated to cause the displeasure of Uskhan Khan." Li Yuanshang interjected at this moment. He was cautious.
"Humph! Even if I am dissatisfied, what can I do, if I have the ability to call again, as long as I do not break the covenant, I still have the final say on what dowry. Jing Kaige said domineeringly.
"So there is no objection." Li Yuanshang said. As long as the emperor thinks about it, he doesn't say much. After all, the root of this proposal was proposed by the six princes, and the six princes may marry their own daughters in the future, which can be regarded as their own family, as long as the emperor confirms it, the rest of him only needs to cooperate with his full strength.
"This matter is decided, the specific matter will be handed over to Li Shangshu, if the people of any sect do not cooperate, directly cancel the preferential treatment given to them by the imperial court, and if they still resist, they will be disposed of at will without provoking those believers to resist." Jing Kaige commanded.
"The minister commands." Li Yuanshang saluted and said.
"Well, hurry up, Uskhan Khan's welcome mission is about to arrive. Well, there is nothing else to do today, so go back and go about your own business, and make any decisions in the future, you have to take a long-term view. Jing Kaige reminded.
"If the minister wakes up, the minister will retire. The ladies saluted, and then they all left the hall.
"Li Shangshu, I don't know what you think of the six princes?" After leaving the main hall, Zhao Chongde walked up to Li Yuanshang and asked softly.
"Oh? Why did Lord Zhao say this? Li Yuanshang was a little puzzled for a while.
"Haha, I went to the Wenqu Yuan's literary competition yesterday, the six princes seem to be a little unusual for Ling Ai, I guess Hua'an City will know it later." Zhao Chongde said with a smile. The details of each literary competition will be recited by the literati in Hua'an City.
"Can Lord Zhao make it clear?" Li Yuanshang was aroused by Zhao Chongde's words.
"Master Li won't know in a long time, so I won't say more and let's go!" Zhao Chongde deliberately sold a pass, didn't say anything, and left directly, leaving a back for Li Yuanshang.
Zhao Chongde is very happy on the surface, in fact, he is a little worried in his heart at the moment, His Majesty's other princes who are crowned kings are all performing well, and now even the six princes who have not yet come out of the cabinet have such extraordinary abilities, which makes him show a trace of worry about the prince's situation, he is the prince's uncle, and he is naturally from the prince's line, although everything is peaceful now, who knows in the future.
In a place with abundant water and grass in Hua'an City, there were several people on horseback, all of whom were gorgeously dressed and chatting on their horses, while the horses were bowing their heads and eating the green grass that had just grown on the ground.
"Your Highness, it's almost time to arrive at our workshop." Xiao Zhuozi said to Jing Zetian beside him. This group of people is Jing Zetian and his party who came from Huangjia Village, but compared with when they left the palace, there are two more people, one is the Huang shopkeeper, and the other is the little fart worm Huang Feiyan.
"Well, I didn't expect the scenery of Qingquan County to be much stronger than Xinghe County, this way, the closer to Qingquan County, the more I feel that the surrounding scenery has changed, this flower and tree, the growth is gratifying, presumably the grain yield here should be good." Jing Zetian said in a comfortable mood.
Everyone walked and chatted, and continued along the river for a few miles, and there were villages in front of them, but these cottages were a little dilapidated, all of them were thatched houses, and some of the houses still had traces of being burned by the flames, and the fields between the villages were not a rich scene as imagined, but a piece of trampled and panicked land. At this time, the people in the fields were busy renovating the land and replanting crops, which was very different from Jing Zetian's previous imagination.
"Little Zhuozi, what's going on?" Jing Zetian asked in surprise with wide eyes. The scenery in front of him made him feel a little sad in his heart.
"Your Highness, the luck of this village is not good, it happened to be the army of Uss Khan passing by, so it became like this, but fortunately, this village got the news in advance, and fled to the mountains in time, and escaped this catastrophe, and the people in Qingquan County who didn't have time to hide have ......" Xiao Zhuozi did not continue, as a citizen of Dahua, it was not easy to mention this kind of thing.
"Forget it, it's okay after all, this revenge will be avenged by Dahua sooner or later, let's continue to go." Jing Zetian sighed slightly, and continued to walk forward, but he no longer had the happy mood he had when he first came.
Following the direction of the river, the terrain is getting higher and higher, and there are many rabbits, squirrels, and pheasants by the river...... Waiting for the small animals to drink freely by the river, and did not panic to run away when they saw people, the surrounding fields became more and more sparse, ushering in the big trees with lush leaves, the horses were panting, and the uphill road was more difficult for them, not to mention carrying people, and finally, when the horses were about to strike, a large green grass appeared in everyone's field of vision.
