Zhu Youde was overjoyed. With He Qingfeng's support, it would be easier to build the palace and rebuild the navy.
He turned around and asked He Qingfeng to take the initiative, and then he pushed the flow along.
Zhu Youde feels that he is doing things more and more methodically.
Zhu Youde's discussion with those ministers was just a test, but for the matter to be formally implemented, he needed the support of the court.
It is best for an important minister to take the initiative to propose matters such as building palaces and rebuilding the navy, and he makes the decision. This is the way of an emperor.
Suddenly, Zhu Youde looked at He Qingfeng and felt more and more pleasing to his eyes!
Thinking of He Qingfeng having a younger sister, he said, "I heard you have a younger sister!"
Foolish king!
You actually really miss my little sister!
He Qingfeng's eyes were round.
Emperor, what do you want to do?
He Qingfeng was in a panic, what to do, what to do!
If the emperor really wants his little sister, he can't stop her!
At this time, Zhu Youde spoke: "The palace has recently made some jewelry. Wang Banban, prepare some rewards for Mr. He."
"Old slave, I obey!" Wang Zhonghou looked at Zhu Youde. When he saw Zhu Youde's calm and casual look, he immediately knew what he was doing.
Your Majesty specially rewarded He Qingfeng because he liked it, but he had no other intention.
He Qingfeng was already the Minister of Household Affairs, so it was naturally impossible for him to be promoted to a higher position unless he died.
But He Qingfeng didn't know and thought that the emperor would like his younger sister.
Where has the emperor given jewelry to his ministers? Isn't this a hint?
He Qingfeng thanked him blankly and left with the jewelry prepared by Wang Zhonghou!
Zhu Youde only wanted He Qingfeng's attitude, so he naturally didn't care about He Qingfeng's face.
He Qingfeng walked out of the palace in despair, holding a plate of jewelry in his hand.
"Lord He!"
Outside the palace gate, a group of officials who were about to go home saw He Qingfeng and came over to pay their respects.
After all, he is a minister.
When these officials saw that the tray in He Qingfeng's hand was filled with jewelry for women, they were stunned!
Needless to say, these jewelry must have been gifted by the emperor, but these are things for women!
Several of the officials knew that He Qingfeng had a little sister at home, and they immediately understood!
"Congratulations, Mr. He!"
"Congratulations, Master He."
These officials smiled very ambiguously.
He Qingfeng reacted immediately and quickly covered the jewelry on the tray, but it was too late, everyone saw it!
He didn't even dare to say that the emperor was shameless, but he was shameless!
He Qingfeng left in a hurry and decided to send his little sister to leave Jinling and go back to her hometown immediately!
Then the emperor can't be shameless.
But those officials who saw the jewelry went to a restaurant for dinner after get off work and told the story as an anecdote!
In less than a day, the whole Jinling knew that the emperor was attracted to He Qingfeng's sister.
"I heard that Miss He's country is beautiful and fragrant, and Luo Shen is still alive. Your Majesty is really beautiful and blessed!"
"Haha, I think He Qingfeng is a traitor and wants to use his sister to please His Majesty."
"He Shangshu is really good at being a good person. I have heard that His Majesty likes a beautiful woman. He Shangshu will fall in love with her. He is really good at it!"
The whole teahouse and tavern in Jinling were rumored that He Qingfeng was the king's bride, and He Qingfeng became famous all of a sudden!
Naturally, no one dared to say anything bad about Zhu Youde. They all said it was an honor for the He family!
Just talking about He Qingfeng, everyone is very disdainful!
Offering your sister and asking for favors is a traitor!
Zhu Youde didn't know about this at all. If he knew, he would still say that he was wronged. He didn't have time to care about He Qingfeng, he had bigger things to think about.
In terms of discussing with the six ministers about building palaces and naval vessels, Zhu Youde planned to change his way of dealing with ministers.
In the past, he decided everything, and then the ministers implemented it. Although it was very efficient, he is the emperor, so he cannot decide everything!
The court is a political society that requires skill and balance!
Otherwise, being an emperor will exhaust you to death, except for the navy and the palace.
What he is more concerned about now is the two memorials placed in front of him, one was presented to the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty in Jinling, and the other was from the Northern Yan Dynasty.
The memorial sent by the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty brought greetings from the leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty. In the memorial, the envoy of the other party first expressed his congratulations to the Daliang army for defeating the Western Region army.
"The barbarians in the Western Regions, Daliang defeated the Western Regions, it was the Han family that defeated the Hu people..."
There are many words, and the general meaning is that Southern Tang is willing to be consistent with Daliang on the issue of the Western Regions, and hopes that Daliang and Southern Tang will continue to maintain a good brotherly friendship.
Want peace not war!
In fact, it was the Southern Tang Dynasty that knew that Daliang had defeated the Western Regions and felt a crisis, and was afraid that Daliang would turn around and deal with him.
Zhu Youde didn't care about the Southern Tang Dynasty. Deep in the Southern Tang Dynasty, south of the Yangtze River, his life was very fine. None of the monarchs and ministers had any ambition to make progress. He was not in the mood to deal with the Southern Tang Dynasty for the time being.
But it was different in Beiyan. The envoy from Beiyan, representing the Emperor of Beiyan, Zhao Wuji, actually invited Zhu Youde to go hunting at the mouth of the Yellow River in autumn.
The emperors of the two countries knew how to hunt, so naturally they would not simply hunt and chat. This was to express their military power to Daliang!
Zhu Youde quickly summoned Feng Bogong: "Do you think I should go?"
Feng Bogong first read the memorial from the Beiyan envoy, closed it and said, "Beiyan must have some ideas about me, Daliang!"
Zhu Youde smiled and said: "Cining rebelled before and said that Beiyan's cavalry would go south when the time comes. I have been preparing for it, but this time Zhao Wuji actually came in person. If I don't go, people will look down on me, Daliang!"
But if we go, there is danger. What if Zhao Wuji takes action?
Daliang is not ready to go to war with Beiyan.
Although Wang Po and Wang Potian defeated the Western Regions in the northwest, Beiyan's cavalry was the best in the world.
There are not many cavalry in Daliang!
Feng Bogong thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I think this matter has something to do with the northwest!"
Zhu Youde motioned for the other party to continue speaking, and Feng Bogong said: "Our country has a great victory over the Western Regions in the northwest. This has never been the case since the establishment of the four kingdoms. The great victory in the northwest has changed the situation in the world. Even small countries such as East Vietnam have felt the impact of our troops."
It is so powerful that your Majesty has the heart to unify the world!"
Aren’t you talking nonsense!
Zhu Youde said to himself that he was an emperor who had traveled through time. If he did not unify the world, how could he just watch?
What does it mean to be the emperor of a quarter of the world?
Feng Bogong continued: "Beiyan claims to be the best in the world, and Zhao Wuji has never concealed his determination to unify the world. But this time I, Daliang, forcefully suppressed the Western Regions, but Beiyan did nothing. This makes the world think of Beiyan.
Zhao Wuji!"
My face is dull!
If the noodle court in Daliang defeated the Western Regions, wouldn't it be the best country in the world from now on? How could Yan be in the north!
Zhao Wuji must have felt that his face was ugly, and he had to fight for his reputation rather than his face.
If you are a great leader, then if I beat you, I will still be the best in the world.
