Chapter 13: Great Britain

According to Xiao Yue, after listening to the news in the teahouse for half a month, the information and data collected are presented as follows:

First of all, there is nothing more enjoyable here than listening to stories, and people here like to read books, which appear as often as 30% when chatting in the teahouse. Therefore, Xiao Yue knows why Old Man Pan is so rich and famous.

Secondly, the gossip and emotional stories of the royal family in Great Britain occupy 30% of the chat content, and they are not repeated with the script. Xiao Yue thought to herself, if she wants to make money, she simply writes gossip romance novels about the British royal family, which is estimated to be enough to make a lot of money, but I heard that she may not be able to spend the money if she earns it.

Thirdly, all kinds of gossip about the war and commodity trading only occupy 10% of the chat, and the credibility is not very high. Regarding the relationship between Great Britain and neighboring countries, most of it is still all kinds of gossip news, and it also accounts for 10% of the chat.

Finally, the news about the various weathered places in the imperial city also occupies 20%. This part of Xiaoyue has to listen to if you don't want to hear it, because it will involve the names of a large number of local high-ranking officials and businessmen.

This actually can't get what Satsuki wants, so she further sorted out the news and straightened out the various relationships, she felt that to make money, she had to understand politics first, so she first analyzed the political situation of the British royal family, of course, including all kinds of gossip.

The British are now in charge of a queen, and this Xiaoyue didn't expect it, after all, this world is still a patriarchal society, and women are still discriminated against. So it's not too easy for her, the empress, to be it.

But why did she want to be this emperor, it's very simple, her husband is dead, and only one son is still nursing, so she has no choice but to go on it herself. But why can't she listen to the government and let her nursing son make the emperor first. Because there doesn't seem to be such a precedent here, and this empress is not an ordinary person. She was the princess of another country, called Yue Guo, which was now part of Great Britain. To make a long story short, the empress of Great Britain is the princess of Yueguo, named Mu Jiangshui, in order to marry the emperor of Great Britain at that time, their family seems to be surnamed Yuan, and this emperor is called Yuan Zaizheng. After the two got married, the relationship was not bad, but there was turmoil in the country, Princess Mu's younger brother took over as the emperor of the Yue country, but there were traitors in the country who wanted to seize the throne, and the life of Emperor Mu of the Yue country was in danger, at that time there was a very famous prime minister in the Yue country, called Wen Yutai, (it is said that this person is still alive, but he is the prime minister of Great Britain) He mobilized the army, suppressed the rebels, and asked the Yuan Emperor to send troops to help complete the final suppression of the rebellion. Of course, the trend of this matter has found a little change, that is, when Emperor Mu has not survived in the end, and there is no one in the country of Yue, Prime Minister Wen Cheng came forward to implore Princess Mu to temporarily serve as the monarch of Yue, and Princess Mu agreed on the condition that she hoped to abdicate and make way for Xian after finding a new heir to Yue, and find it as soon as possible. However, less than two years after this series of events happened, when the future heir of the Yue Kingdom had no shadow at all, Emperor Yuan died, and Emperor Yuan's son was still young. As a result, the two countries are not clear, an emperor or a female emperor, but there are two countries that need to be managed. In the end, Prime Minister Wen had no choice but to take the civil and military generals of the Yue Kingdom and the ministers of Great Britain together for a long time, and then the two countries were merged, of course, the premise of the merger was that Princess Mu must be the empress.

However, according to folk gossip, this Wen Cheng has a lot of emotional gossip rumors about Empress Mu, and when Xiaoyue inquired about the news, she tried not to participate in these emotional gossip, but there was often no way to ignore it, which was really a headache.

Of course, whether Xiao Yue wants to inquire or not, the name of the crown prince of Great Britain and the future emperor is like thunder in the teahouse. However, it took her a few days to realize that the prince who was like a stone Buddha was the celebrity that people often mentioned: Yuan Chenhao. This person has been trained according to the emperor's standards since he was a child, although when he was breastfeeding, his father died of overwork, I believe that he may end like this in the future, this is not the curse of Satsuki's careful eyes but the speculation of many people. Because these two fathers and sons are really very similar, whether it is in appearance, character and diligence in state affairs. Empress Mu loves her son very much, but her love is shown by arranging for her son to work on the front line in various places all the year round and inspect the people's conditions, otherwise she will take the lead in leading the officers and soldiers to defend the country during the war. Satsuki feels that this person is a working machine, and he has lived for the country since he was a child, including his marriage. Thinking of this, Xiao Yue was still a little secretly unhappy, she was actually a junior, but it didn't count when she thought about it, the two of them were unwilling at the time, and it was a wrong encounter at most.

In addition to the guidance and help of political affairs, when he was 16 years old, Empress Mu arranged for him to marry Wu Qing, the daughter of Wu Zheng, the generalissimo of the British army, which was equivalent to indirectly holding the military power of the whole country in his hands, which laid a solid foundation for him to ascend the throne and become the emperor of Great Britain in the future. And according to the grapevine, after the end of this war with the secret country, it was the moment when he ascended the throne.

Such people are the object of discussion and envy in people's mouths after tea and dinner. But the only problem is that Yuan Chenhao is so diligent that people in Great Britain are worried about whether this person will die in the prime of life like his father. So, he began to worry about his heirs, there are really people who eat salty radishes and don't worry about melons. Because he was too busy, except for a crown princess, the prince's mansion had no other wives and concubines, which was relatively rare among the high-ranking British officials and nobles. Moreover, he works in other places all the year round, and after marrying the crown princess, he gets together less and leaves more, and this heir has no shadow at all. However, Empress Mu was not in a hurry, she wanted to wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne before expanding his harem.

This is a simplified version of the secrets of the British royal family, which Satsuki recorded in simplified Chinese on paper. Anyway, this simplified Chinese character is the same as Morse code in this world, and she is not afraid of others peeking at her writing bad words about Yuan Chenhao. For example, she remarked after Yuan Chenhao's name: aliases for workaholic, stone man, etc.

Speaking of aliases, Xiao Yue also thought of the man who smiled like a fox, his surname is Mu, this surname is the same as the empress, is he also a relative of the emperor, Xiao Yue feels that this matter is very possible, seeing that his relationship with the prince is so close, there should be nine times out of ten, so Xiao Yue wrote a note behind Mu Ziyu's name: Fox, may be related to Empress Mu.

Usually at night, Xiao Yue will accompany Xiao Lan in the house to pull the housework, waiting for Xiao Lan to wash up and fall asleep, Xiao Yue will sneak to the old man Pan's study, take a brush, and write down the useful information she analyzed.
