Zheng Ying never expected that the emperor would come to Prince Wei's Mansion right after he ascended the throne.
He was just a long-sleeved nobleman who was good at dancing. He subconsciously stood up and saluted, "I have met Your Majesty!" The emperor ignored him and walked in, "Where's the wine?"
King Wei looked at him.
The two just looked at each other quietly. "Bring the wine!" King Wei sat down.
"I want good wine!" The emperor sat down and said, "Back then, you and Li Han were rummaging through the cabinets in my home to find wine to drink. Now I also drink some and come back." He turned around and waved, "A Liang, come in."
Prince A Liang came in to salute.
"It's so big." King Wei had a look of sadness in his eyes.
"Time makes us grow old, and your temples have turned gray." The emperor pointed at King Wei's temples, "I know that you never think about your own family, so you are probably planning for your wife and children, right?"
King Wei remained silent.
Someone brought wine in, and the emperor glanced at Zheng Ying and said, "Want to buy King Wei's land?" Zheng Ying leaned forward and said, "Yes."
"Don't sell it!" The emperor waved his hand and said to King Wei: "Keep those fields. After many years, you will have a place to go when you come back. Besides, your eldest son will have less to rely on there, so the output of these fields will be left to you.
As for him, as for taking care of things... I'll take care of it for you."
When the emperor said these words, who would attack King Wei's fields? Zheng Ying was sweating profusely, "I resign, I am guilty..."
This man was so incoherent that the emperor frowned and waved his hand again.
Zheng Ying left Prince Wei's Mansion, and the entourage waiting outside the door said happily: "Alang, it's done? Hey! Why are you sweating profusely, Alang? It's so cold today!"
"Let's go!"
Zheng Ying mounted his horse and left, then stayed behind closed doors until the spring began, when he tentatively took a walk outside. In Prince Wei's palace, the emperor and Prince Wei were drinking wine and talking about the past.
"...Back then, you had the highest cultivation level around me, and Li Han was the worst. When we went to the three major departments, if you hadn't been there, we would probably have been left behind and become hostages."
The emperor raised his glass to invite him to drink, and they drank a glass of wine.
"That year I led an army to fight and you came thousands of miles from Chang'an to kill the generals and capture the flag, helping me defeat my opponent." The emperor raised his glass again. Seeing that there was no wine in King Wei's glass, he said: "Brother A Liang, pour it for you."
Wine." "Yes."
It is an honor for the prince to pour wine.
The old servant waiting next to him had tears in his eyes.
A servant had already reported it to Concubine Shu and Sister Huang. "Your Majesty and the King talked about the past and drank like wine." "I hope you can let our family go!"
Concubine Shu clasped her hands together.
Sister Huang muttered, "If I had known better, I would have stayed in Northern Xinjiang and made a living by forging iron and not getting involved in these things. Your Majesty wouldn't have cared about it."
"The emperor's mind is the most unpredictable." Concubine Shu opened her eyes, "It is said that it is unpredictable, but in fact, it is inevitable to retaliate. Things that were tolerated in the past will be turned against after becoming the emperor."
"So stingy?" asked Sister Huang.
"A person holds the world in his hands and can decide the life and death of people in the world, and he can't help but feel that he is a god. These happy days will occasionally be disturbed by some unpleasant past events. In order to make yourself happy,
The emperor will cleanse this memory..."
That is, get rid of those people who make you unhappy. When people are gone, the past will naturally be gone.
At this time, a servant came in and said happily: "Your Majesty has just ordered the prince to pour wine for the king, and ordered the prince to call the king, brother." Concubine Shu's body relaxed, "Your Majesty... Thank you, Your Majesty!"
In the front, the emperor was slightly drunk. "I've been very busy these days. Let's have a drink today to feel comfortable. By the way, where are you going?" He didn't try to persuade King Wei to stay, nor could he.
Even if Li Mi is mean and ungrateful to their mother and son, the nature of father and son is in the blood, so it is not a bad thing for King Wei to leave. Out of sight is out of mind!
"Go to the east." King Wei took a sip of wine. "The east...is not interesting."
The emperor put down the empty wine glass, and A Liang poured the wine obediently. "Where are we going?" King Wei asked.
"Have you ever thought about Nanfang?
?" asked the emperor.
"The south...the hometown of the Southern Zhou Dynasty is rich." King Wei shook his head, "I don't want to embarrass you." Rich places are prone to trouble.
It is also easy to be taken advantage of.
"Did you know that there is a sea beyond the south?" "I know, but I have never seen it."
"The sea is vast, with countless islands in it, the largest of which is larger than the Central Plains."
"Bigger than the Central Plains?" King Wei always felt that the Central Plains was the center of the world and the largest landmass in the world.
"Yes, except for some small countries, most of those islands are uninhabited or inhabited by some natives. The natives are ignorant and don't know that they are sitting on a treasure mountain... Do you know what is on those islands?"
The emperor proudly said: "I probably know about this world. Some of those islands are rich in gold and silver, some are rich in minerals, some are all pasture, and some are all fertile farmland... I don't know about such places.
I will let it go. But I have too many things to do at the moment, so I want to send someone to explore. After thinking about it, actually the best candidate is you."
"You want me to go overseas?" "Yes, overseas."
The emperor waved his hand, "A-Liang will go out first, and you will all go out later!"
"Your Majesty!" Lin Feibao came in. He was worried that King Wei would rise up... Although the possibility was almost zero, as a bodyguard, he could not relax as long as possible.
King Wei's cultivation is profound, but the emperor's cultivation is... shameful! "Everyone, get out!" the emperor said impatiently.
After everyone went out, the emperor said: "Actually, I am the one who wants to go out the most." "You?" King Wei was surprised.
If the emperor doesn't do it, do you want to go to sea?
"Above the boundless sea, a fleet was sailing hard in the wind and waves. When the fleet broke out of the wind and waves, a vast island appeared in the eyes. There was honey flowing on it, bison everywhere, and countless gold and silver...
··You can get it by bowing your head.”
"The Tang Dynasty has a large population, and gradually there is not enough land to allocate. But those idiots like to solve this problem behind closed doors. They would rather kill themselves and kill all ten houses and nine empty ones. Well, the land is finally free.
This reincarnation trick of killing your own people should end."
The emperor said: "The sea is not covered. The world is very big and the population is large. We must learn to seek solutions from outside. Those fertile lands are empty, why not let the people of Tang Dynasty cultivate them?"
"But... it's hard to leave my homeland!"
King Wei thought the idea was good, but he was afraid that the people would not buy it.
"Wrong!" The emperor raised a toast, "The people of the Tang Dynasty are the most courageous. Think about those people who went thousands of miles away to join the army. They knew before setting off that they might never return, but they still had no hesitation. If they learned that overseas
When there are countless opportunities and wealth waiting for them, do you think they will not dare to take them?"
"Everyone says that the Tang Dynasty is in crisis. This is the worst era. But in my eyes, the people of the Tang Dynasty have admirable courage and adventurous spirit. Their enterprising spirit can shame their predecessors and
Descendants.
And I am just giving them a direction. This Tang Dynasty will unleash astonishing power. Believe me, this is the best era. And you will be the first pioneers."
After Zhou Ning was granted the title, the Zhou clan went to the palace to congratulate him. "I don't know when they will come back."
A woman who was considered Zhou Ning's cousin mentioned Zhou Qin and his son, and everyone sighed. "Yes!"
Another person said: "What a shame for the glorious moment of the queen."
It would be perfect if parents and relatives were here at this time. But now Zhou Qin and his son are stranded in Shu, presumably they are the hostages of the false emperor. I am afraid it will be difficult to see the queen again.
"Your Majesty is here." The women quickly stood up.
Zhou Ning stood up with a smile and just as he was about to greet him, the emperor came in. "Why are you drinking?"
The emperor's face turned red after drinking, but he was still conscious. "Having a drink with King Wei can be regarded as practicing wine."
The emperor looked at the women, "Are these all from the Zhou family?" "I have met your Majesty!"
Everyone salutes.
The emperor nodded, "Then I won't disturb you. Ah Ning, remember to have dinner with us later." "Okay!"
Zhou Ning responded with a smile.
The feelings of this emperor and empress are really eye-catching!
The women compared the dead ghosts in their homes with the emperor in their hearts, and the sour taste could not help but ripple in their hearts. The emperor was kind, and someone boldly asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder if the people of the Zhou family staying in Shu are in danger?"
The emperor turned around and said, "Don't worry!"
The emperor's arrival made the Sichuan area lively, but after the excitement, it brought troubles to the people of the Sichuan area. Huahua was walking in the alleys of Tongcheng, carrying a basket on her back and wearing homespun clothes.
As the seat of Yizhou, Tongcheng became more prosperous due to the arrival of the emperor. The accompanying nobles spent lavishly on houses, fields and shops in Tongcheng, and successfully raised the prices of these things.
Zhou's residence is not far away.
The Zhou family and his son, who had property in Shu, had no worries about money, but Zhou Qin rarely went out. Zhou Zun still had an official position in the court, but he had no errands.
Therefore, when he got up in the morning, he was not in a hurry to go to the so-called court, but had breakfast with Zhou Qin. "If you have nothing to do today, you can go and inquire and see if Zitai has ascended the throne."
Zhou Qin has been thinking about this matter, "The old Zhou family has been passed down for hundreds of years, but there has never been a queen. It's a pity that I'm not in Chang'an!" A steward came in, "Alang, Langjun, someone wants to see you."
"Who?" "A village girl!"
The village girl came in with a basket on her back, "Huahua has met the two Dukes of Zhou."
"You are..." Zhou Qin rubbed his temples. "Jin Yiwei Huahua."
"I remember it." Zhou Qin nodded, "Why, did Zitai explain it?"
"Yes!" Huahua said, "Southern Zhou Dynasty
After the fall, the false emperor and his son will definitely be in despair. Duke Zhou and his son are the shields in the eyes of the false emperor. Please stay alert at all times. I will spy on the false emperor's movements here. If there is something wrong..."
"I understand." Zhou Qin said, "I will collect those important things later. It's just a burden. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time."
"Yes." Huahua nodded.
Zhou Zun asked: "Where is Zitai now?" "His Royal Highness has entered Chang'an City." Huahua said.
"So, Zi Tai has probably ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor by now." Zhou Qin sighed a little. Huahua said, "I came today because of something."
"you say!"
"Your Majesty has a cousin who also came to Shu?"
"Yes, the second lady is at home." Zhou Qin's expression suddenly changed, "But what's wrong?" "The false emperor wants to make her his concubine."
In an instant, Zhou Qin’s yelling came from the Zhou family, “Shameless old dog!”
