Chapter 662: More and More Fearful
Not to mention how Chunzhi and King Liang yelled around her after returning to the Celestial Empire from the Lang Clan.
Chunzhi didn't stay long, so she hurriedly rushed back to the princess's mansion in Liangzhou, personally wrote a letter to the emperor, and then attached the contract she signed with the wolf emperor, and asked people to send it to the capital quickly.
The emperor was in a good mood when he saw the folds and the contract.
Although after a few years of recuperation, the national strength of the Celestial Empire slowly began to recover again. But in the matter of domesticating horses, the Celestial Empire is always beyond its strength, which is why it took two months for the Celestial Empire to completely exterminate them when it fought with a small foreign tribe.
Later, the foreign territory was taken for its own use, and the Celestial Empire finally had a place to raise horses. But such a small area can supply hundreds of good horses every year, which is far from enough for the huge army of the Celestial Empire.
As for Chunzhi, she made it clear in the contract she drafted with the Emperor of the Wolf Clan that when the border markets were opened to each other, the Celestial Empire would sell the grain, cloth, cotton and other goods of the Celestial Empire to the Lang Clan, and the Lang Clan would drive their cattle, sheep and horses to the Celestial Empire to sell. Among them, the number of cattle, sheep and horses per year cannot be less than 200!
Cattle and sheep are okay to say, horses are the key!
Moreover, at first two hundred, then four hundred six hundred and eight hundred...... As long as they can afford the money, how many horses can't they buy?
The emperor saw Haruke's intentions from the folds and the contract, and now he sincerely began to praise Haruka.
"This royal sister of mine is really amazing! This keen mind, and this desire to work for the well-being of the country, is truly gratifying. With such a royal sister sitting for me at the border, I feel much more at ease when I sleep at night! β
When the Queen Mother heard these words, her old man was also full of smiles.
"Do you need to talk about that? The mourning family has long said that she is a good child, her mind is pure, and she is down-to-earth, you still don't believe it. Now, you're a believer, aren't you? β
"Believed, believed. And thank you to the queen mother, if you hadn't found such a good royal sister for Erchen, Erchen would not be able to sit back and relax so much in the capital now! The emperor smiled and saluted the queen mother respectfully.
The Queen Mother's old face was smiling.
"You bastard! Now I'm starting to joke about the mourners! β
But his words were full of joy and triumph, and he was not angry.
The emperor naturally heard it, and he was also full of smiles. "Since this imperial sister is chosen by the queen mother, of course I am relieved. But...... Hey, thinking about the past, and then looking at the present, I suddenly felt that in fact, the imperial sister and Chai Aiqing were separated, which was not a good thing. If she hadn't left the Chai family, how would she recognize your mother as her mother, and how would she have thought of going to Liangzhou? If she hadn't been there, she wouldn't have been able to do things without letting go of her hands and feet, and then she would have done such a great feat! Next, the establishment and promotion of this border trade will definitely be inseparable from her help. β
As the emperor spoke, his eyebrows and eyes gradually widened. Although this is a bit too much for Chai Qing, out of the heart of serving the country and the people, I really think so. Therefore, I have already decided that I must find a good family for Chai Qing's daughter, and it will be regarded as compensation for him contributing such a good wife to the country! β
"Well, from the perspective of the small family, the Chai family has no northern country, and now life is a little difficult. But from everyone's point of view, Chai Qing's family has made a great contribution. This great credit has benefited millions of people all over the world. Therefore, Chai Qing is also happy to come to his heart. The Queen Mother bowed slightly, "It's just that he has seen such an amazing and beautiful woman, where can he see other ordinary women in his eyes?" So, since he doesn't want to marry again, you don't have to force it anymore. The mourning family sees that he is living well alone now. β
"Yes, Erchen knows." The emperor hurriedly bowed his head, and he threw another question along the topic, "By the way, the queen mother, about the family affairs of the northern kingdom ......"
The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly turned sideways. "Didn't she say she didn't want to remarry? Now that she has so many important things on hand, why do you bother to force her to marry? If she gets married and squats in the backyard all day long, who else can take over the things she has put up? β
"The queen mother, please calm your anger, that's not what the son meant." Seeing that she was in a hurry, the emperor hurriedly explained, "Erchen just thinks that the Marquis of Beiming has always had a heart for the Northern Kingdom, and after so many years, he doesn't look down on others, and he guards her with all his heart." After a long time, in fact, Erchen felt a little unhappy in his heart. If they could, in fact, the sons wanted to accomplish their good deeds, which would be very beneficial to the promotion of border trade. β
"But! Since you have said so, the queen mother will not think like that anymore. They can do whatever they like! Erchen believes that even if Beiguo does not have the help of the Marquis of Beiming, she will definitely handle everything properly. There is also the Marquis of Beiming, he is not the kind of person with a small belly. The emperor said busily.
The Queen Mother sighed lightly. "If only you understood that. The mourning family has such a daughter in the north in this life, although she is not born to the mourning family, but she is closer than the mourning family. The mourning family has lived for so many years, and it has not been willful a few times, but in the matter of conniving and pampering her, you can let the mourning family be! The mourning family also believes that she will not be pampered and arrogant in the north and do things that are detrimental to the country! β
"That's nature. Then I don't care about the affairs of the northern kingdom in the future. "The emperor was busy.
The Queen Mother nodded again and rubbed her temples. "I'm tired of mourning."
"Yes, the sons are retiring, and the queen mother, please rest." The emperor hurriedly retreated.
But after the emperor left, the queen mother's slightly closed eyes opened again.
"Hey!" She immediately let out another long sigh, "Emperor, do you think the mourning family doesn't know what you're thinking?" You're starting to be afraid of the Northland, aren't you? I am afraid that the northern kingdom and Chai Yushi will join forces, so that their power will be greater. So you want to marry the Northern Kingdom to the Marquis of Beiming, who is incompatible with Chai Qing, so as to cut off the way for them to join forces to do evil. But do you think you're really going to be able to cut off their ties by doing so? Then you would be naΓ―ve. β
After a pause, she sighed again. "Northland, Northland, that's all the mourning family can do for you now. You have to walk on your own! β
Outside, the emperor left Cining Palace, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.
"The queen mother really hurts the northern kingdom very much!" He whispered to himself, "But I'm not afraid. Her children are still pinched in my hands, and she can't make any waves. and King Liang is also in Liangzhou...... Hehehe, this son of mine is really good, he really deserves to be born to me by his concubine! β
As he spoke, he hurried back to the imperial study and began to order someone to draft the holy decree.
A month later, the emperor's decree allowing the opening of border trade was sent to Liangzhou.
In addition, he also sent a secret letter to Chunzhi and King Liang respectively. In the letter to Chunzhi, the emperor naturally praised her again and again, and solemnly handed over the border pass to her, and expressed his confidence in her.
As for the one to King Liang......
After King Liang read it, he directly handed it to Chunzhi.
"It seems that my father is very jealous of you when he sees you climbing higher and higher! He also told me to watch out for you. Liang Wang smiled coldly, "If he was in his early tens, he cared for me as a loving father and asked me to do things, I would definitely be obedient." But I'm a father now, and my son is ten years old! It's too late for him to show his fatherly love at this time! It's even more impossible for me to betray my aunt just because of his seemingly intimate words! In this life, aunt, you are my nobleman! β
Haruka chuckled.
She had finished reading the letter and returned the envelope to King Liang. "The emperor thinks that the task on my shoulders is too heavy, so it's good for you to help me share some of it. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do it alone, so it's just right for you to help. β
King Liang pursed his lips again. "I'm definitely going to help my aunt, but no matter what, I won't take the credit for you. You earned all this by your own ability, how can I be qualified to grab it? And ......"
He smiled again. "I'm afraid that the credit will not fall to me in the end. The mother concubine still hasn't given up on the idea of letting me do my best to help the twenty-third emperor's brother! β
Hey, King Liang is also a bunch of bad things here.
Harukie sighed. "Let's take one step at a time! At least for now, things are still going in a good direction. β
Now that he has received the holy decree, this is the emperor's official permission. Chunzhi naturally notified Wang Zongping and others, and everyone began to negotiate on the matter of opening border trade with each other.
This is not as simple as saying a few words between Chunzhi and the Lang Emperor. Relevant regulations need to be considered and negotiated word by word, and must not be sloppy. Chunzhi was naturally pulled over to discuss, and after tossing all day long, she was so tired that she came back to life.
At this time, another letter flew from the capital to her.
Chunzhi opened it and looked at it, and she was suddenly in a good mood - "Pan girl said that she was coming to see me, and now people are already on the way!" β
