"Grandfather," Chen Xiuzhu respectfully offered good tea to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry who had just sat down, "In the past few days in the imperial study, my grandson has not come forward to fight for the disaster relief envoy of Qingshi County. What should I do when I come down?"

"Your Highness!" Luo Ken ignored the question, and quickly stood up to take the tea in Chen Xiuzhu's hand, "You are the royal family, you are the king! You must have the air of a king at all times. Although the old minister is your grandfather, you are also minister."

His face was full of seriousness, "The etiquette of a monarch and his ministers cannot be surpassed."

Chen Xiuzhu was slightly taken aback, so he had to sit upright again, "I will remember it in my heart!"

Roken nodded.

He looked around at the furnishings in the main hall, with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.

"His Royal Highness finally became king. His Majesty only lifted the original prince's mansion slightly, and he was not even willing to reward a new royal mansion. Really..."

cough!
Chen Xiuzhu coughed, "Grandfather, I'm fine now."

His mother and concubine have never been welcomed by the emperor.Among the princes, Chen Xiuzhu himself was not favored, and it was beyond his expectation to be crowned king for the second time.

Pointing to the next door, Chen Xiuzhu smiled.

"Except for the eldest brother, the other brothers still live in the prince's mansion. They don't know when they will be promoted to king. Besides, this mansion is familiar to the king, and it is comfortable to live in. It is also close to the grandfather's house, so you can come and go It is also convenient to communicate.”

Luo Ken shook his head, not daring to agree.

"Your Highness, you are now the only prince. No matter where you live, you will be watched by people from all walks of life. There is no such thing as convenient access."

"Besides, if you are crowned king, you should have a new palace. This is not just a matter of a house, but to let other officials see His Majesty's favor for His Highness, as well as signs of His Highness's determination to forge ahead."

Chen Xiuzhu had no choice but to nod, "This king has been taught."

Ugh!
Roken sighed.

"During the epidemic last year, His Royal Highness stayed in the ancestral land to appease the hearts of the people, and finally became the king. The old minister was not surprised, but he did not expect that Ren Ning, who had expelled himself from the Grand Master's Mansion, suddenly appeared out of thin air, which led to the imperial decree being issued in such a hurry. The old minister has not yet Before we have time to advise, all aspects of the matter have already been settled."

"It's a pity."

"Otherwise, the old minister will build a prince's mansion worthy of his status for His Royal Highness."

As Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Luo Ken is very good at repairing palaces and mansions.

Chen Xiuzhu was noncommittal, "The matter has come to this point, there is no need to talk about it. Grandfather, what should I do when I come down?"

Luo Ken nodded, calmly stroking his gray beard.

"Right now, there are worries everywhere in the empire, and rumors are spreading everywhere. We need to relieve disasters internally, and fight against the enemy externally. However, the treasury is empty and cannot provide much money. Your Majesty is upset."

"Your Highness must talk less and do more. When other princes and princes are arguing, it is enough for His Highness to be present, so there is no need to interrupt. When His Majesty assigns responsibilities, His Highness must do his best to do it well."

He laughed.

"His Highness is now the only prince other than King Qin. Whether you speak or not, His Majesty and all the ministers will see it and keep it in mind."

Chen Xiuzhu's eyes lit up, "Thank you grandpa for your guidance. This king understands."

"Come down," Luo Ken flipped through a large map of Yunchui, and pressed heavily to the north.

"Whether it's epidemics, earthquakes or floods, it's just ordinary people who are tormenting them, and they can't shake the foundation of Yunchui. The Beixiong Empire, which is raging southward, is His Majesty's big worry."

He looked at Chen Xiuzhu who looked thoughtful, "Your Highness needs to pay attention to two things."

"Grandfather, please advise." Chen Xiuzhu hastily listened attentively.

"First, males should be married and females should be married. As a royal family, the issue of heirs is more important than that of ordinary people. Your Highness needs to get married as soon as possible and give birth to a royal son."

"It is about the inheritance of the entire royal family, and His Majesty will be happy no matter how upset he is."

Chen Xiuzhu hesitated for a while.

When he stayed in Xingluo County, he once liked a commoner girl.

However, no matter whether it is the grandfather in front of him or the concubine mother in the palace, it is impossible for him to marry a commoner woman as the concubine.Chen Xiuzhu had no choice but to bury this thought in his heart silently.

"Everything is subject to the arrangement of my grandfather."

Roken nodded with satisfaction.

"Secondly, Your Highness needs to work hard to get acquainted with some generals. Especially the generals who may be sent to Yumu County in the north for support. The north is now a serious concern for His Majesty. Any general who has made meritorious deeds in the north will be remembered by His Majesty. We must Prepare first."

After speaking, he spread out a long piece of paper with names listed on it.

Chen Xiuzhu looked curiously, and the name in front was very familiar.

Uncle Zhongyong: Xiao Zheng.

This guy ran to the palace twice in three days, trying to sell his eldest daughter.

Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion, School Field.

In the snow, Xiao Zheng was sweating profusely with his upper body bare, practicing his family's marksmanship.

He had been very happy lately.

Although the money is still tight, at least there is no need to sell the village at a low price and the shop to disperse the servants to subsidize the family.

The Yue family's Yongchanghou Mansion is bent on getting into the rubber business, and when they visit their grandson, they no longer blow their beards and stare like they used to.

Especially the second son Xiao Gang.

Originally, Xiao Zheng only wanted him to go to the Xingluo Army to be plated with gold, to let him know the hardships of military life, and to stay honest when he came back.

Unexpectedly, in the end, Xiao Gang has done a lot of deeds.Although he was still a flat-headed soldier, it was just that there was no war on the southern front.As long as there is a war, Xiao Gang will surely rise to the top soon.

Even when the Minister of the Ministry of War met him one time, he even praised him a few times.

In addition, the southern Feng retreated, and the northern army immediately approached the city.

Judging by Beixiong's aggressive appearance, it is estimated that this battle is inevitable.

It's time for these generals to go out, and it seems that they are expected to retain the title of Duke Zhongyong.

Xiao Zheng was very happy.

If they do a good job, maybe their Xiao family can restore the status of Duke.In the unlikely event that he dies on the battlefield, as long as he can keep the Earl, Xiao Zheng will be worthy of his ancestors when he reaches the Nine Springs.

The only one with a big head is the Gu family caravan.

In the past few years, the caravans of the Gu family are the only ones in the Zhongyong uncle's mansion and even the entire Xiao family who can save money.And knowing that Xiao's family is dying, Gu Shengnan never thought of turning his back on him.

Xiao Zheng saw this in his eyes and kept it in his heart.

The epidemic in Yunzhong County has not subsided, and even spread everywhere.The average person doesn't know, but he still knows.The Gujia caravan will turn around and head east back to Yunchui in the past few months, but don't run into the epidemic.

Xiao Zheng pondered.

When the caravan comes back this time, let them take the north-south route.

Although the north-south line is not easy to walk, at least the rubber products are much lighter than the panlong stone in Pingxi County, and there is no need to go through the big mud pit and swamp in Misty County.

I was thinking wildly.

The butler was sweating profusely, and rushed over with a limp.

"Uncle Uncle! Great joy." The old housekeeper yelled, "An angel is here in the main hall, stop practicing, pack up and go to receive the order."

Xiao Zheng cheered up, and quickly put away his gun, "Did the steward ask what the imperial decree is?"

"I can't ask." The housekeeper shook his head regretfully, "The servants are tight-lipped, and this old slave has been trying to find a way for a while, but there is really no way."

"Understood." Xiao Zheng let the injured old housekeeper to rest, and went to the main hall after washing and drying himself.

"By God's blessing...Zhongyong Bo Xiaozheng named General Anbei, and led the [-] Donghai defenders to Yumu County to support. We will leave within three days, there must be no mistakes..."

Xiao Zheng shouted long live, and accepted the imperial edict with mixed feelings.

The East China Sea Defense Army is also called the East China Sea Barrier, and its base camp is located in Pinghai County where the Gu family is located.

They have always guarded the long eastern coastline to prevent pirates or Japanese pirates from attacking.Now go to the north to resist Beixiong who is like a wolf like a tiger, who came up with the idea?

cough.

Neiwai coughed.

"Uncle Xiao, the central army guarding the imperial capital will also transfer part of it to the north in the near future. At that time, the northern border will depend on all three of you."
