Chapter 136: Witty Escape
The atmosphere in Zun Motian's study ushered in a new solemnity at this time, and after Gu Muqi and Gu Muqing returned to the harem, Zun Mojun and Zun Motian pretended to drink tea amicably.
"Brother Chen, why have you been slow to oppose the matter of taxation?"
Zun Motian suddenly put down the teacup, breaking the silence.
Seeing that Zun Motian actually took the initiative to mention this matter under the court, Zun Demon Lord also put down the teacup and said to Zun Motian, "The matter of increasing taxes is particularly important, the people are the foundation of a country, the army has always been managed by me, and I will find a way to solve the matter of military rations, so why bother the people?" ”
Raising his eyebrows, Zun Motian said lightly, "Brother Chen, this is going to rebel?" ”
Zun Mojun hurriedly knelt on the ground, clenched his hands into fists, and raised them above his head.
"Wechen has never had such thoughts."
Although the military power has always been in the hands of Zun Mojun, but he has never had the intention of rebellion, since they were still teenagers, Zun Mojun was sent to the military camp early, and Zun Motian has always been a prince, educated by Mr. Books.
"Then you say, how are you going to solve the problem of military rations?" Zun Motian asked coldly.
Zun Mojun stood up and said to Zun Motian, "The minister has been struggling with this matter these days, and has thought of a perfect method, which should have been written on the fold and reviewed with you, but today my wife came to meet the saint with a beautiful matter, and the minister thought that you and I were originally brothers, and we were also monarchs and ministers, and it was more appropriate for His Highness to discuss this matter." ”
Zun Motian stood up, walked in front of Zun Mojun, and looked down at him with his head down, "Say, I'll listen." ”
"Your Highness, the minister thinks that the soldiers stationed at the border can cultivate the land on their own on weekdays and do some farming activities, and the border war is a long-term thing, not a quick war, which not only solves the immediate urgency, but also adds a large amount of food to the military rations."
He went on to say, "The dispute between us and the border soil is because the border land is vast and the soil is fertile, which is conducive to the growth of the bankers, and the weather on the border is very different from the weather and climate of our Great Zhou Dynasty. ”
When Zun Motian heard this, what Zun Motian said was not unreasonable, "Is this your own imagination?" Or is this true? ”
Zun Mojun hugged his fist and said to Zun Motian, "If the younger brother says half a lie, it is the crime of bullying the king, and it is at the disposal of the imperial brother." ”
Zun Motian had a wit, and he couldn't help but think of a plan in his mind, what Zun Mojun said was a good solution for him to the Great Zhou Dynasty, if this matter was known by the hundred officials in the court, Zun Mojun's status was simply better, it was better to send him over in this matter, let him bring more people, and farm the matter, it would take a year and a half.
Transferring Zun Mojun out of his own range, he can use these times to get a good grasp of the hearts of the hundreds of officials in the court.
He nodded, and said to Zun Mojun, "In this matter, if the subordinate brother thinks that it is okay, then it is okay, the widow believes in your ability to do things, but how to implement it You and my brother will do further deliberation another day." ”
Zun Mojun happily thanked Zun Motian, and said that it was also time for lunch and he was going to find his wife.
Looking at the time, Zun Motian thought that it was indeed not early, and he was also hungry after a busy morning, and the two brothers hit it off and walked towards Yongbao Pavilion.
"The emperor has arrived at the -......" Gonggong Li, who was guarding the door of the Yongbao Pavilion, loudly summoned the news of Zun Motian's arrival.
Gu Muqing and Gu Muqi in the house hurriedly got up from the collapse and walked to the door of the Yongbao Pavilion.
"The concubines see the emperor, and the emperor is auspicious."
"The concubines see Lord Xuan, Lord Xuan is blessed with Jin'an."
Zun Motian and Zun Mojun helped their wives up from the ground.
Looking at the empty plates on the dining table, Zun Motian couldn't help but frown and asked, "Mu Guiren, why is it time for lunch, why do you have so many empty plates in the Yongbao Pavilion?" ”
Gu Muqing winked at Gu Muqi, but Gu Muqi didn't seem to understand Gu Muqing's intentions, she gently walked to the emperor's side and said to him, "Your Majesty, I won't tell you anything, our family is happy today." ”
The hungry Zun Motian actually ignored Gu Muqi's words and called Gonggong Li.
"Grandpa Li, what's going on? Why is there no lunch in Mu Guiren's house? ”
Gonggong Li walked to the emperor's side with a sharp voice and said to him, "Your Majesty, originally Mu Guiren's house was for lunch, but as for the reason for withdrawing, the old slave felt that it should be Niangniang or Princess Xuan to talk to you." ”
Gu Muqing's heart couldn't help but sink, she didn't want Zun Motian to know the news of her pregnancy too early.
She was afraid that the emperor would feel that this child was a threat to him when he found out, and the look she gave Gu Muqi just now was also to tell her not to tell her about it.
But who knows, she was going to say it directly to Zun Motian, and she didn't know if she did it intentionally or not.
Now, the words can't help but be spoken, and she has to find a way to get it out of her mouth and save the child.
Gu Muqing walked in front of Zun Motian, bent his legs slightly, leaned on Zun Motian and said, "Your Majesty, you said that this Gonggong Li is also fast enough, and today I called Zun Motian to come with you, just to tell you good news." ”
"What's the good news?"
"You're an uncle!" Gu Muqing said to Zun Motian with a bright face, "A few days ago, Imperial Physician Gu went to check my pulse, saying that I was happy, and I also told the prince, no wonder I always dreamed of a beautiful lotus flower blooming in the glowing pond in those days." ”
Gu Muqi said on the side, "That sister's dream of a fetus seems to be pregnant with a little daughter!" ”
Gu Muqing covered her mouth and smiled, nodded, she walked to Zun Mojun's side and grabbed Zun Mojun's arm, "How good a girl is, she looks like a prince, with thin eyebrows and big eyes, she will definitely be a beautiful woman who will captivate the country and the city in the future." ”
She shook Zun Mojun's arm and said to him aggrievedly, "Lord, just now when the concubine was eating at my sister's place, I accidentally vomited, but it's a pity that the delicacies in this palace are gone, it seems that this child doesn't have that blessed life, you and I should go back to the house." I asked Chunyu to make me some porridge. ”
Zhinan, who was on the side, took the opportunity to walk to Gu Muqing's side and supported Gu Muqing's body.
"Yes, my lord, Imperial Physician Gu also told the princess not to eat some food elsewhere recently."
