Chapter 312 My daughter has grown up, nightmare
"Your Majesty actually conferred a title on the princess?"
Xu Wei scratched his head, "It's still the title of Changle."
"Why do you like drinking at the back door?" Hu Zongxian was dragged to the back door of the Bo's Mansion by Xu Wei early in the morning to drink and felt a little sleepy.
"Don't you think it's very quiet here?" Xu Wei ate a winter melon strip, feeling the sweet taste, and said, "Rewarding Prince Yu and conferring the title of Princess Changle on the eldest daughter of the emperor, our emperor is really generous!"
"Your Majesty originally didn't care about his children. Now many people are speculating about his intentions." Hu Zongxian took a sip of wine and felt his sleepiness disappear.
"Some people say that His Majesty has woken up." Xu Wei leaned against the brick wall on the side, resting his hands on the back of his head.
"Your Majesty, when has he ever slept?" Hu Zongxian asked with a smile.
"Old Hu, in the past, His Majesty hid in the West Garden and endured the situation. Now His Majesty is making a big fuss... Many people are wondering whether His Majesty is going to change his ways."
Xu Wei leaned over and picked up the wine glass. "Old Hu, do you think it is better for His Majesty to continue to be patient or to be aggressive?"
Hu Zongxian ate a piece of braised beef in soy sauce… The beef business of the Bo Mansion was getting bigger and bigger. Other things might be in short supply in the mansion, but beef was in free supply, and even the servants could have a meal of it every now and then.
"If you keep silent, you will be the one standing in front..."
"Shield!" Xu Wei frowned, "There's no outsider here, what are you afraid of?"
Hu Zongxian lowered his voice, "If His Majesty gradually stands out, it means we are on the same side. Old Xu, haven't you figured it out? Lord Bo claims to be a great leader of the Mohist School. Although His Majesty hasn't said anything, many times... not saying anything is a form of attitude!"
……
Jiang Qingzhi went to the palace specially to congratulate his little niece.
Today's enthronement ceremony is very grand.
The Taoist priest personally came out and Jiang Qingzhi watched the ceremony.
Seeing the little unknown person back then, now dressed in formal attire and kneeling before the Taoist Master to express his gratitude, and then going to pay respects to his two brothers...
According to the rules, Zhu Shou'an should go back to celebrate at the end, but the little girl had not yet set up her own residence, so the Taoist simply held the celebration at his own place.
Royal relatives flocked to the scene, and the gifts they brought filled up a side hall.
Jiang Qingzhi stood in the corner, a medicinal cigarette in his mouth, watching the women go to the next room to congratulate him. The loudness of their voices and the exaggerated words of praise they used attracted people's attention.
This is the gentleman.
The old dude also came and showed his younger brother what it meant to be a good dancer. He could even chat with Cui Yuan.
Zhu Xizhong came over later, "There is news. Someone just said proudly that his bookstore got a big deal."
"Why, Lao Zhu, are you ready to cultivate your character?"
After the second sworn brotherhood, Jiang Qingzhi called Zhu Xizhong "Big Brother". Zhu Xizhong looked at him for a long time and finally said, "You should just call me Old Zhu! Calling me Big Brother always makes me feel cold."
"That guy said it was a batch of ancient books, so I teased him and asked him where he was selling them. He said..." Zhu Xizhong pointed to the north, "I was thinking that you are in charge of the trade with the Altan tribe. Is this okay?"
"All right. Very right." Jiang Qingzhi said with a smile.
"That's good." The old dude was like a little bee in the flowers and dived back in.
"Chang Wilbur, His Majesty summons you."
A eunuch came to summon Jiang Qingzhi.
Different from the bustling scene here, the Taoist priest's place is deserted.
"The excitement is only temporary." The Taoist said a philosophical word.
"Yes." Jiang Qingzhi nodded, "All phenomena are illusions and bubbles."
"But I can't help myself." Dao Ye asked, "I called you here because I want to ask you, the Mo family was proficient in mechanical arts in the past, have you inherited it?"
Finally, I asked about the core area... Jiang Qingzhi said without hesitation: "Yes, and quite a lot."
"What benefit will it bring to the country?" The Taoist narrowed his eyes, seemingly calm, but there were some waves in his heart.
The mechanical skills of the Mohist school were the best in the world at that time, but unfortunately they were buried in the long river of history with the demise of the Mohist school.
For an emperor, a good theory is one that can be used for his own benefit and strengthen the country.
Why did Confucianism become the favorite of Emperor Wu of Han?
It was nothing more than helping Emperor Wu of Han to rule the Han Dynasty at that time.
What about Mohism?
At this moment, the Taoist priest was asking as an emperor.
Jiang Qingzhi inexplicably thought of Dong Zhongshu of the past. I guess Dong must have been very excited at that moment!
But he was surprisingly calm.
"How many such biogas digesters are there?" Taoist gave a hint.
Jiang Qingzhi smiled and said, "For the Mohist school, things like biogas tanks are not worth mentioning!"
"Not worth mentioning?" The Taoist's eyes suddenly sparkled. "How dare you say that a biogas digester that can increase grain production by more than 10% is not worth mentioning? If you can't explain it, I will enforce the family law on behalf of my mother today!"
Jiang Qingzhi saw the ruler on the table and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the last time I was framed by the Altan tribe?"
"You mean the wolves chased you...you collapsed the mountain wall. Hey!" Emperor Jiajing was suddenly startled. "Isn't that gunpowder?"
"Your Majesty, the gunpowder you see is just something used to celebrate festivals, just to make things more lively. And the gunpowder I study..."
Jiang Qingzhi said softly, "Your Majesty, do you know that when the explosion happened, those people from the Altan tribe fell to the ground in panic, shouting thunderously."
He seemed to see the roar of cannons, and rows of musketeers firing in unison at the command. He couldn't help but feel his blood boiling. "That's the gunpowder of my Mohism. It can kill people, and it can capture cities and strongholds..."
"The Beijing camp has firearms! Emperor Chengzu also used firearms when he went on the Northern Expedition!" The Taoist frowned, thinking that gunpowder could not be compared with biogas digesters.
"In the eyes of Mohism, the firearms of the Beijing camp are nothing more than children's toys!" Jiang Qingzhi said reservedly.
"Your Majesty, the banquet is ready." Huang Jin reported from outside, not daring to look inside.
Emperor Jiajing stood up and said, "I will remember your words."
The banquet was very sumptuous. Jiang Qingzhi saw the dish again. Old Zhu happened to be beside him, so he asked, "Old Zhu, what is this made of?"
Zhu Xizhong took a look and said disdainfully: "Bear claw, don't say you haven't gotten tired of it yet."
What the hell!
This crystal clear thing is a bear paw?
Jiang Qingzhi couldn't help but eat another piece.
"I'll ask your sister-in-law to get you one worth ten or eight dollars later." Zhu Xizhong then started chatting enthusiastically with the dignitaries around him.
This thing is a protected animal in later generations... Jiang Qingzhi felt a sense of guilt when eating it, but also a sense of pleasure as if he was eating forbidden fruit.
"Princess Changle is here."
Jiang Qingzhi put down his chopsticks and saw Zhu Shou'an, dressed in gorgeous attire, walking in accompanied by Concubine Lu Jingfei.
Under the spotlight of everyone, Jiang Qingzhi was worried that the kid would be nervous.
Zhu Shou'an was very nervous, even stiff all over. Concubine Lu, who was holding her hand, felt it and gently squeezed her hand, signaling her to relax.
But this little unknown person has never been noticed by so many powerful people.
She was as stiff as a log. Someone noticed and was surprised. They whispered, "That's not generous enough!"
If this gets out, half the number of people willing to marry the princess will be gone. Are you trying to destroy me or what?
When Jiang Qingzhi heard this, he glanced at the man, picked up the spoon and threw it onto the plate.
Ding!
Hearing the clear voice, Zhu Shoumei saw her uncle.
Jiang Qingzhi took out a cigarette carelessly, raised his eyebrows and lit it, then said to his niece: "The weather is so nice, don't you think about going out for a walk?"
Yes, my uncle said last time that he would take us out of town to play when the weather gets cooler.
My cousin said there are many interesting places outside the city, and you can go hunting. Maybe I can catch a rabbit and raise it for me...
Unconsciously, Zhu Shou'an's body relaxed. She smiled calmly and innocently, and her behavior was completely in line with the royal etiquette...
The Taoist priest, who was paying attention to his beloved daughter, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This was Princess Changle's first public appearance, and also a signal from Taoist priest to the outside world.
A daughter in my family has just grown up.
If you want to be the princess, sign up now.
Watching Zhu Shou'an leave, Jiang Qingzhi asked the old playboy, "Have you ever thought of letting Dalang marry the princess?"
Zhu Shou'an is thirteen years old this year and is a good match for Zhu Shitai.
Zhu Xizhong whispered, "We are already extremely wealthy, and marrying a princess is just icing on the cake. The fire is too big, I am worried that I will burn myself to death."
Smart man!
But my niece's marriage needs to be carefully considered...
Cui Yuan suddenly stood up and said, "Chang Wei Bo, today is a happy day, do you have any poems?"
Jiang Qingzhi laughed and shook his head, "No."
He had already passed the stage of becoming famous through poetry.
Cui Yuan raised his glass, "Then, let's raise our glass to congratulate the princess!"
This can be done.
Jiang Qingzhi raised his glass.
"May the princess live forever!"
The atmosphere gradually became warm.
Concubine Lu Jing took Changle to the next door, and there was another round of praise.
The little girl was praised so much today, I wonder if she will show off.
Jiang Qingzhi smiled.
Li Tian is next door.
After Concubine Lu Jing brought Changle in, the noble ladies began to praise her. Li Tian noticed that many people were looking at Changle carefully.
She even heard someone mutter, "Your Majesty is cold and indifferent to his children, but he dotes on the princess. If he could marry the princess..."
The marriage of children from powerful families is just a tool... Li Tian couldn't help but imagine her future children.
How many children should I have?
How about two men and two women?
At this moment, someone suddenly asked, "It has been a while since Princess Huating got married, has she got any good news for us to celebrate?"
Li Tian took a look at the noble lady and realized that she was mocking him for not having children.
She said calmly: "My husband once said that the biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans have emotions."
The noble lady was puzzled, and Changle said, "What the county lady meant by this... is it that women are not animals, so the matter of childbirth depends on God's will?"
Li Tian smiled and said, "The princess is very smart."
The cousin and niece joined forces to make the noble lady feel ashamed.
When she got home, Li Tian told Jiang Qingzhi about this as a joke.
"Why do I feel something is wrong about Changle?"
Jiang Qingzhi was a little confused, as if he had forgotten something important.
He didn't sleep well that night.
Various dreams take turns to appear...
"Those palace maids must have been ordered by the bitch Concubine Cao Duan. Bitch, they should be tortured to death!"
"I am innocent!"
……
"Look, the eldest princess is in a daze again."
"Motherless children are pitiful."
"died!"
"The eldest princess is gone."
"Your Majesty, my condolences!"
The Taoist priest stood alone outside the palace, looking at his eldest daughter lying silently on the bed. He turned around and looked at the sky, smiling bitterly, "Who committed this sin? Who?!"
Jiang Qingzhi woke up suddenly.
He thought about it.
Changle's biological mother, Concubine Cao Duan, was executed by slow slicing for treason by Empress Fang after the palace coup. It was later proved that Concubine Cao Duan was innocent.
But what can be done?
Afterwards, that little unknown person lived a cautious and unhappy life in the palace.
It seems like he died young.
Changle is thirteen this year!
Jiang Qingzhi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and fell down heavily.
It’s okay, just pay attention to Changle in the future.
"Husband." The person next to him murmured.
"It's okay, go to sleep!"
……
"Princess!"
"Princess!"
Li Shu looked at Changle lying unconscious on the bed and said in panic, "Go get the imperial physician!"
