Chapter 93: Choosing a Farming Match (43)
It's just that before she returned to the East Palace, the person sent to investigate came back tremblingly and reported:
"Crown Princess, that sugar shop was opened by King Jinnan, and this is not the only one, this is the eighteenth."
The crown princess was so angry that her nose was crooked.
It's just a sugar shop, and there are eighteen of them!
No, maybe it's more than that! Does he want to bloom everywhere?
What can I do? Sooner or later, the Emperor will find out.
"Master, we must start the plan as soon as possible, we can't wait any longer." The crown princess hurriedly returned to the palace and told the prince about it, "King Jinnan's expansion speed is much faster than we expected. If I wait any longer, I am afraid that the concubine will not be able to hide it from my father......"
Yan Keheng was also angry after hearing this: "Damn! The second guy is really hidden, I didn't hear that there was a person who could make sugar under him when he was in Beijing! Where did you get it from? Do you have long eyes? I don't know if Lone is the prince! ”
The crown princess couldn't help but want to roll her eyes, and said in her heart, is this the point?
"Master, you have to make up your mind right away."
"Lone knows! But the letter sent by Gu has not received a reply so far, and I am not sure if this matter will work......"
"If it doesn't work, you can also make my father nervous and nervous first, so that he can leave the palace less if he has nothing to do. Also, do you have to send someone to keep an eye on the Prime Minister's Mansion? Can you give Xu Bonian a chance to report the news. ”
"Stare! However, I heard my father say that Xu Bonian had the intention of returning to his hometown, and his resignation was still pressed on the case approved by his father. ”
"Really?" The crown princess was taken aback, and then said happily, "This is a good thing!" Why is my father not allowed to play? So what are you waiting for? ”
Yan Keheng thought about this reason, so as not to dream too much at night, he specially changed his outfit, and went to Yinhua Palace to accompany his father to dine with him, and by the way, he hinted that his father might as well agree to Xu Bonian's resignation.
In addition, he pretended to be worried and said: "Erchen heard that the Tartars outside the north have always been reluctant to surrender, and now that the weather is getting colder, they won't come back again, right?" It's a pity that the second brother is not here, if he is in Yanguan, the morale of the soldiers of our court will be greatly boosted, see how the Tartars invade my Yanhua! ”
The emperor thought for a while: yes, the Tartars in the north are like cockroaches that can't be killed, after a battle, they have been cultivating and recuperating for a year or two, and then they have invaded again, which is simply annoying.
I don't know how to face my sister-in-law in Nanban, after all, he is the only sister-in-law, let him suffer in the Nanban where birds don't, and my father's heart is also uncomfortable, but call him back, the queen should be angry again, it's really a dilemma.
Hey? What did Heng'er say just now? The Tartars of the North are afraid of Jin'er, who exists like a god?
That's not right, let Jin'er go to the north, neither need to go back to Beijing, nor suffer in the south.
Although the northern border is also bitter, it is closer to Beijing, and it is more convenient to buy what you need than it is to buy it in the south.
The key is that you can use Jin'er. Doesn't he like to march and fight, as he wishes, he will be given the title of a great general, and he will be in charge of 100,000 troops.
That's it!
The next morning, the emperor, who thought he had thought of a good idea to have the best of both worlds, announced the good news in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.
Ministers: "......"
I once thought that King Jinnan had lost his sacred heart, but now I look at how it seems that I want to reuse him?
The mind of the saint is really getting harder and harder to figure out.
But Emperor Chrysostom said that these words came out of his mouth, although the holy decree had not yet been issued to King Jinnan, it basically would not be changed.
For a while, their minds floated, and no one knew what was going on in each other's hearts.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor praised Prime Minister Xu again, and boasted about his great achievements in the past and the fact that he has always been diligent and dedicated to the people......
Xu Bonian only felt inexplicable when he heard it, but he still knelt down to thank the saint for his praise.
In the next second, the emperor changed his words and said Aiqing, I was quite reluctant to submit your resignation last year, but I can't selfishly deprive Aiqing of the idea of returning to her roots...... After another pass, Balabala finally cut to the chase:
"Since Aiqing's intention to return to her hometown is so firm, I have no choice but to make it difficult."
“……”
Xu Bonian returned to the house and locked him in the study for a long time and didn't come out.
The prime minister's wife personally cooked a pot of ginseng tea and knocked on the door of the study.
"Sir?"
Prime Minister Xu came back to his senses at this time, and there was a letter with dried ink on the desk, folded it and put it in an envelope, got up and opened the door to invite his wife in.
"The Holy God has given me permission to return to my hometown."
"Why so suddenly? Didn't you say that you would have to wait until the end of the year at the earliest? ”
"There is a reason for this."
He picked out what he could say about this morning, and lowered his voice and admonished:
"In this way, the prince is going to Yanguan in the north soon, but the saint approved my resignation at this time, knowing that the Xu family's old house is in Furong County, which does not want us to help my daughter. It is said that half of the year is winter, and the days may not be easier than those in Nanban. ”
Xu Xiang was about to die of sorrow.
The prime minister's wife didn't know what to say after hearing this, so she sighed for a long time.
Xu Yin is the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but King Jinnan is the son-in-law of the saint, first abolished his title of prince, and drove him to the poor and white Nanban fiefdom, and now what is he saying that he is good at leading troops to fight, and is ready to send him to Yanguan in the north to resist the invasion of the Tartars, this is really his own?
To tell the truth, she has been in charge of the middle feed for so many years, and she really can't make a bowl of water for her children, but like the emperor, she spoils the queen so much that she tramples the son-in-law of the first queen into the mud.
……
Xu Yin and Yan Kejin returned to Fucheng from Qin County only a few days ago.
I originally planned to come back before the summer, but I went to Vietnam and discovered a summer resort.
Outside the coast, that is the undeveloped Hainan Island.
The wild coconut groves and the clear blue sea are two completely different landscapes from the commercialized Sanya in later generations.
Yan Kejin saw that she liked it so much, so she simply stayed with her.
During the day, he trained the soldiers, and she drank coconut water to fish.
In the evening, the two walked along the beach and watched the sunset.
This stay lasted until August.
If you don't think about the grain production of Zhuangzi and the surrounding villages this year, you still want to live again, after all, winter is the best season for Hainan to live.
After returning to Fucheng to rest for two days, I heard from the housekeeper that Uncle Wang sent someone to inform him at the beginning of the month, saying that this autumn's harvest was excellent:
The output of corn has increased by one stone compared to the batch in May.
Although the yield per mu of late rice is lower than that of early rice, it also has seven or eight stones, which greatly exceeds the yield of previous years.
The rice fish and rice crab raised during spring ploughing are also in the best season to enjoy the taste......
Xu Yin's appetite was hooked when she heard it.
I was about to go to Zhuangzi to stay for two days, steam a few fatty rice crabs, stew a pot of delicious rice fish, and fill a cup of Sanhua wine, and feel the joy of the harvest with Uncle Wang and them - the holy decree has arrived.
