Chapter 978: On Meritorious Deeds
Tianhua Star Field, Imperial Palace.
“…… Your Majesty, the position of the governor of the six provinces such as Shayuan, Baihuang, and Jingyang is vacant, so the minister has the courage to recommend you a few talents with outstanding ability and loyalty to the empire, I don't know what you think? ”
“……”
At the bottom of the jade steps, a middle-aged man in a golden robe with a square and majestic face, deep eyes, and a slightly thin body bowed slightly, and said in a respectful tone.
Feng Lanxi was half-leaning on the couch, her head lowered, and she was gently teasing the eldest son of the emperor in her arms, and when she heard the other party's words, she couldn't help but respond, she didn't say it accurately, and she didn't say it accurately.
Seeing that she did not say anything, the man plucked up his courage and said:
"I heard...... The new waterway from Zhiyuan Province to the Imperial Capital is about to start? Belch...... Several large companies in the clan will also participate in the bidding for the project at that time, I wonder if the queen can take care of her family? As long as you get this contract, the family's income will increase significantly in the next few years, so it will be good for the family and for you......"
“……”
Feng Lanxi still didn't say anything.
The man pursed his lips and spoke again: "Your Majesty, I heard that the eldest daughter of the emperor, Princess Yun Qixuan, has not yet been married, well, this ...... Some of your nephews are intelligent and of outstanding character, and I wonder if you can let them meet each other, and if you can get your Royal Highness to take a fancy to anyone, you can settle down as soon as possible, and when they reach adulthood, you can ......."
A gloomy color flashed on the queen's pretty jade face, she glanced up at him, and said lightly:
"His Royal Highness the Duke's arrangement is not bad, but I don't know if other wealthy families in the imperial capital will tolerate you having such a big appetite!"
The man said with some displeasure:
"Queen, isn't it all for you and His Royal Highness the prince to plan so hard? As the eldest son of His Majesty, Yun Ke will definitely inherit the throne in the future! However, His Majesty the Emperor has more and more heirs, and the power of the maternal clan behind him is extraordinary, if you don't start to manage and accumulate strength from now on, how can you have enough capital to deal with their competition in the future? ”
Feng Lanxi was finally a little annoyed: "Father, when the water is full, it overflows, and the moon is full and it loses!" Isn't the status of the Feng family in the imperial capital high enough? Do you have to fight for power and profit endlessly? Aren't you afraid that you will make too many enemies and one day cause great trouble for your family? ”
She got up, handed the eldest son of the emperor to the female official beside her to hold, and then continued:
"Don't think that this palace doesn't know what you're up to! Your Majesty is now leading an expedition to the Northwest Star Sea, and most of the domestic affairs have no time to intervene, so you want to take this opportunity to reap more benefits for the family! But you don't want to think about it, there are so many wealthy families in this imperial capital, no matter which family owner is not a fuel-efficient lamp! Do you think they're going to let you stretch your hands everywhere and leave it alone? ”
"But you are now the queen of the prison country, and when Your Majesty is away, isn't it up to you to decide everything in this country?" The middle-aged man was unconvinced.
This is the biological father of the current queen Feng Lanxi: Feng Dehong. The new Duke of the First Class of the Empire. He specially entered the palace to meet his daughter this time, just to seek more benefits for the family.
Now that Yun Haoyu is not in the imperial capital, and all domestic affairs are decided by the queen of the prison country, he will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity! Anyway, His Majesty is extremely fond of his daughter, even if he does it a little out of line, there shouldn't be any big problems! As the queen's maiden family, of course, she should get the power and influence that matches her status!
Although Feng Lanxi's relationship with the family has never been very good, but now that the eldest son of the emperor has been born, for the sake of his future, I think she should no longer care about the past festivals, so as to adopt a more rational and pragmatic attitude to deal with the relationship between herself and the family! After all, if the eldest son of the emperor wants to ascend the throne in the future, he can't do it without strong support from the maternal family!
Therefore, as long as the empress is a little sensible, she should start taking care of her mother's family from now on and find ways to strengthen her position and influence in all areas of the empire! Therefore, it is completely reasonable for him to make these demands this time!
Feng Lanxi said indifferently: "I want the position of governor of six provinces at once, and they are all that kind of rich and developed anointed land!" Father, you seem to have forgotten that even His Majesty's biological grandfather, Prince Yun Tianque, has never opened his mouth like you! He only dares to ask for one or two places every time, and it depends on whether His Majesty is happy or not!"
"The plan for that new waterway is indeed under review, but it is one of the strategic routes connecting the imperial capital with the provinces of southern Xinjiang, and it must be built according to the highest standards, with a total cost of nearly one trillion yuan crystals! If I'm not mistaken, the companies you're talking about have only been around for less than a year, right? The registered capital is less than 5 billion yuanjing, not to mention the relevant talent reserve! Do you have enough technical talent reserves and economic strength to complete such a large strategic project? ”
"This ......" The old head of the Feng family blushed, and he was not confident enough:
"As long as you can get this order, you will naturally be able to pull enough loans, and if there is a manpower problem, you can just spend more money to recruit! Otherwise, it will be subcontracted, and the family will not suffer anyway! ”
Speaking of which, this guy is playing the idea of "empty glove white wolf"! As long as the project is in hand, he will not worry about making no money, and as for the quality of the project in the future, he does not care at all! He is the Queen's father, who in this empire would dare to trouble him?
Feng Lanxi's face tightened, and she said coldly: "It's impossible!" This is one of the most important engineering projects of the Empire, and as long as the main palace is still in this position, it will never let go! ”
"There is also the lifelong event of the eldest daughter of the emperor, Your Majesty has personally promised that she will be in charge! So this palace can't help you, so you'll die of this heart! ”
The duke finally became a little angry, raised his voice and said: "Empress, don't forget that you are also a member of the family, and you have the blood of the family flowing in your body, which is a fact that cannot be changed no matter what!" Isn't it all for the sake of the family and the future of the emperor's eldest son? ”
Feng Lanxi sneered: "That's just a nice thing to say!" What is your own idea, and who can you hide from it? Father, your majesty is not an ordinary person, are you still unwilling to give up? The tragic scene of the last Great Purge of the Imperial Capital, you forgot it all so quickly? Don't worry about becoming the second Xiao family? ”
"I don't owe anything to my family now, so I won't seek any benefits for your family, so you will die of this heart!"
"Palace guard, send His Royal Highness the Duke out!"
A team of heavily armed and cold-looking female guards walked in and "invited" the head of the Feng family, who was so angry that his face turned pale, out!
The purple-clothed female officer standing on the side saw her gloomy face, and couldn't help but persuade:
"Your Majesty, the Duke's words are not entirely unreasonable, even if you don't consider this reason, he is still your biological father after all, so do it...... It's too much for him to get off the stage! ”
Feng Lanxi sighed and said helplessly: "Of course Bengong knows, but his appetite is inevitably too big!" Last time, he asked for the position of two governors, which was already an exception, but this time he actually had to make inches, if he met him, he didn't know what kind of excessive requirements he would make next time, he really thought that with a daughter who was the queen, this empire would become the world of his family? ”
"The Xiao family was exterminated, wasn't it because they didn't know the height of the sky, stretched their hands too long, and even rebelled, so they caused a catastrophe? By doing so, he is pushing the family into the fire pit! If I don't give him a wake-up call, he won't remember who he is! ”
"Wen Lu, you have followed me for so many years, and you have watched our Majesty step by step to the current peak, you will not fail to understand his temperament, I am doing this to eliminate disasters for the family!"
Wen Lu said with a wry smile: "These wealthy family heads are intriguing and planning every day, just to enhance the status and influence of the family!" If there are conditions, we must do it, and if we do not have conditions, we must also create conditions! finally has a daughter who is the queen, how can he not think about it? ”
"So, this time, when His Majesty comes back, I have to think of a way to let him find an opportunity to knock on some people who don't know the severity!" The queen gritted her teeth and said.
Wen Lu couldn't help but be surprised, and said in amazement: "But the future of His Royal Highness the prince still has to be considered!" If you make them ruthless, wouldn't that be ......"
Of course, Feng Lanxi understood what she meant, but she had her own opinions in her heart, and she didn't think that she was thinking about this matter properly. In any case, His Majesty's trust and favor are the most important thing, otherwise nothing can be said!
Absolute trust takes a long time to build, but if she is not careful, all the previous efforts will be wiped out, so she will never make that kind of mistake that is not worth the loss!
……
"Finally able to go home!"
Yun Haoyu looked at the brilliant and boundless sea of stars above his head, and said with some emotion.
The main control room of the Yuangu Mothership, where His Majesty's Imperial Palace has been relocated, is now undergoing final deliberations on various matters before the return journey.
After much consideration, Yun Haoyu decided to let Hou Yufeng stay behind to guard this newly harvested land, while leaving behind a Death Star ship and six main legions to monitor and guard the remnants of the Bojiang people. The rest of the legions returned to the dynasty with his division!
"Your Majesty's many personal expeditions, all the way through the wind, frost, snow and rain, and now the merit is finally complete, it is really gratifying!" The picturesque Twilight Tia snuggled up to him obediently and said softly:
"I wonder where the Empire's troops will point next?"
Yun Haoyu's hand gently rubbed on her plump buttocks, and said with an indifferent smile: "I won't consider this for the time being, there are still a bunch of things to be solved in China!" Of course, you have made a contribution this time, and I will not forget it! ”
Rui Yaqin on the side stared at Patriarch Yanwei's actions with a complicated expression, her eyes flickering.
