The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

In the evening, Zhao Yao came back from the eighth prince's house after dinner, saw Dou Le waiting at the gate of his yard, and hurried over.

As soon as Dou Le saw Zhao Yao, he hurriedly walked forward, and first bowed to Zhao Yao: "I have seen His Majesty the Tenth Prince." Then, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yao. "Your Majesty, this is a letter from the prince."

Zhao Yao accepted the letter with joy on his face, and said, "I think it's time for you to deliver the letter to me."

Tong Xi jokingly said, "Dou Le, if you don't deliver the letter from His Royal Highness King Chu today, His Highness will be in a hurry these days."

Dou Le said with a smile on his face: "My maidservant knows that His Royal Highness has been waiting for the letter from the lord, and was afraid that His Royal Highness would be in a hurry, so as soon as he received the letter, my maidservant sent it."

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhao Yao put the letter in his arms, and said to Dou Le with a smile, "Come into the house with me, and let Tongxi entertain you for tea and some snacks."

"Thank you, Your Highness Ten." Dou Le followed Tong Xi into the room.

Zhao Yao wanted to write a reply to the King of Chu, so Dou Le had to stay temporarily until His Royal Highness wrote the reply.

Back in the study, Zhao Yao couldn't wait to open the letter from His Highness the King of Chu, there were twelve sheets of paper.

King Chu is not a talkative person on weekdays, and he doesn't talk much to anyone, even Concubine Li.The only person who can make King Chu talk more is Zhao Yao.

Before, the king of Chu only needed two or three letters to Zhao Yao, and simply wrote about what he had done in the past half month. Zhao Yao said that he wrote the letter to perfunctory him.

Zhao Yao asked the King of Chu to write to him in the future, at least ten pieces of paper.Since then, every time the King of Chu wrote a letter to Zhao Yao, he had more than a dozen pieces of paper.

The king of Chu wrote a letter to Zhao Yao every half a month, which has never stopped in the past few years.

When I opened the letter, I really asked him if he had studied hard in the past half month.

While watching, Zhao Yao complained in his heart: Fourth brother, can't you change the beginning?

In the letter, King Chu told Zhao Yao about the situation in Liangzhou and his son.

Before the king of Chu took over Liangzhou, Liangzhou was a bit chaotic, mainly because the people's hearts were uncertain. After all, it had been occupied by the rebellious army before.

The rebels didn't care about the life and death of the people, they only knew how to exploit the people, which made the people of Liangzhou miserable.Later, when the rebellious army was removed and the imperial court sent people to manage Liangzhou, the people's life became easier.

After the king of Chu took over Liangzhou, he managed Liangzhou in an orderly manner, allowing the people to live a stable life.Before he left, Zhao Yao gave him the improved plow.Zhao Yao called it "Quyuanli".

Quyuan plow is more useful and labor-saving than the previous plow.

Since the introduction of the Quyuanli, it has become easier for the common people to plow the land.

Only when the arable land is well cultivated can the grain be grown well.If the food is grown well, the harvest will be good.

Because of the appearance of Quyuanli, the harvest in many places in Dazhou has increased a lot in recent years, especially in the Jiangnan area.

In the past few years, the grain harvest in the Jiangnan area has increased by three or four levels compared with previous years.Liangzhou's grain harvest has also increased a lot.

Because of Qu Yuanli, Zhao Yao, the tenth prince, gained a lot of favor among the people.His reputation among the people is very high now, not losing to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Dai Wang at all.

In addition to giving this great gift to King Quyuanli of Chu, Zhao Yao also told King Chu in the letter that he could collect more sheep manure and use it as fertilizer to irrigate the fields.

Many people in Liangzhou raise sheep, and the most indispensable thing is sheep dung.With sheep dung as fertilizer, many fields in Liangzhou became much more fertile.

Speaking of sheep dung, Zhao Yao once asked Liang Run to send people to buy sheep dung in the Western Regions.

Compared with the Great Zhou, there are more sheep in the Western Regions.Furthermore, there are not many people farming land in the Western Regions.

When the people in the Western Regions learned that the people of the Great Zhou wanted to buy sheep dung, they all felt that the people of the Great Zhou were strange, and secretly laughed at the people of the Great Zhou.Since the people of Dazhou have a lot of money and are willing to buy their sheep dung, of course they are willing to sell it. Although it is very cheap, it can be sold for a penny.

In fact, Zhao Yao originally wanted to make chemical fertilizers, but after thinking about it later, he should wait until he goes to Lingnan in the future to make them.

The common people in Dazhou did not expect that sheep dung was so useful, which made people all over Dazhou raise sheep.

When King Chu was in the palace, he often read agricultural books, and even asked experienced farmers in person.To this end, he also wrote a book on agriculture.He is very experienced in farming.

After he arrived in Liangzhou, he was very concerned about Liangzhou's grain, and often went to the fields to check the situation of rice or wheat in person.

Every year during spring plowing, he also goes to the fields to plow and transplant rice seedlings in person.When it was time for the autumn harvest, he went to the fields to cut rice and wheat himself.

The people of Liangzhou were naturally very moved when they saw that His Royal Highness the King of Chu valued food so much.At the same time, they are more attentive to farming.

In addition to paying attention to food, the king of Chu also attached great importance to reading.

Because of the rebellion in Liangzhou, many scholars were killed and many academies were destroyed.Before the king of Chu took over Liangzhou, the prefect of Liangzhou didn't care about reading.The prefect of Liangzhou had known for a long time that Liangzhou would become the fiefdom of a certain prince in the future, and he would not be the prefect for long, so he didn't bother to manage Liangzhou.

After the king of Chu came to Liangzhou, he not only paid for the construction of an academy, but also established a grand school in Liangzhou.As long as students can be admitted to Taixue, they don't need to finish their studies, and they can get rewards.

In the past two years, Liangzhou's writing style has become much more prosperous than before.It is said that many students from other places went to Liangzhou to study.

The imperial examinations in the capital are too difficult, only one of ten people can pass the examination, and the imperial examinations in Liangzhou are much easier than those in the capital.For the students all over the world, it is also very good to be admitted to the Liangzhou Taixue and stay in Liangzhou as an official in the future.

Before the king of Chu came to Liangzhou, he was quite famous among the people.After he arrived in Liangzhou, he was courteous and eager to seek talents, which made him even more famous.

In recent years, many people have gone to Liangzhou to seek a way out.As for the talented people, the king of Chu accepted them all and treated them with courtesy.

It has only been a few years since the king of Chu took over Liangzhou, which has given Liangzhou a new look, and the people seem to have been reborn.

He also revised the law, and he personally tried the cases accumulated in Liangzhou, cleared up the grievances of many people, and was called "Master Qingtian" by the people.

Today, the people of Liangzhou are grateful to the King of Chu, and praise the King of Chu as a wise king everywhere, who was sent by the Bodhisattva Buddha beads to save them.

He also worked hard as a soldier.Because of this matter, he was also involved by the minister, saying that he had no good intentions.However, the emperor did not blame him, but praised him for his good work.

Although a few years ago, Dai Wang drove away the rebel army, but there is no guarantee that Liangzhou will always be safe and sound.

The current king of Chu can be regarded as a vassal king who dominates one side.Of course, he has no intention of dominating for the time being.Everything he is doing now is what he thinks he should do.

Although the King of Chu did not return to Beijing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Dai Wang began to fear him for his achievements in Liangzhou in the past few years.

The king of Chu didn't care about this, but he was secretly wary of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Dai Wang.

In the letter, the king of Chu also told Zhao Yao that his little nephew Xiao Baozi had been thinking about his little uncle, and asked him when this little uncle would come to Liangzhou to visit him.

Because the king of Chu often told his son about Zhao Yao, although Xiao Baozi had never met his little uncle Zhao Yao, he still remembered him.In addition, Zhao Yao often sends fun things to Xiao Baozi.

For Zhao Yao, a little uncle whom he had never met before, Xiao Baozi liked and missed him very much.

Seeing his little nephew thinking about him so much, Zhao Yao's heart moved, and he had a plan.He wrote to the king of Chu, and asked the king of Chu to propose to the emperor to invite him to play in Liangzhou.

A few years ago, Zhao Yao was young, and the emperor did not agree with him to go to Liangzhou, but now that he is a few years older, the emperor should agree with him to go to Liangzhou.

Zhao Yao finished writing the letter and handed it to Dou Le.

"Your Majesty Tenth, my maidservant is going to Liangzhou in a while, can you please bring your letter directly to the prince?"

"You are going to Liangzhou, when are you going?" Zhao Yao asked hastily, "What are you going to Liangzhou for?"

Dou Le had guessed Zhao Yao's excited expression when he heard that he was going to Liangzhou.He suppressed a smile and said, "Your Majesty asked the servants to go to Liangzhou to visit the Prince, and send some things to the Prince by the way."

When Zhao Yao heard Dou Le say that, his first reaction was that something happened.

"What's wrong with the fourth brother? Did something happen?" The fourth brother always wrote good things when he wrote letters, and never wrote bad things.He knew that the fourth brother didn't want him to worry.He thought about sending someone to Liangzhou, so that if something happened to the fourth brother, he would know immediately.However, after thinking about it later, it was not appropriate to do so.Besides, it would be embarrassing for the fourth brother to find out.

Seeing Zhao Yao's worried face, Dou Le hurriedly comforted him: "Your Majesty, the prince is fine, and Liangzhou is fine."

"Then why did you go to Liangzhou suddenly?" Zhao Yao said suspiciously, "Dou Le, you can't hide it from me."

"Your Majesty, how can I dare to hide it from you? The lord is really fine. It's just that the empress misses the lord and the little highness." Dou Le said, "Since the birth of the little highness, the mother has never seen her. Do you want to bring the princess and your highness to the capital?"

"So that's the case." Zhao Yao pretended to believe Dou Le's words, "However, Xiao Baozi is only two or three years old, can he travel long distances to the capital?"

"Your Majesty really misses His Royal Highness, that's why I asked my servants to visit Liangzhou." Dou Le said, "See if Wang Hao and His Royal Highness can come to the capital."

Zhao Yao asked again: "When are you going?"

Dou Le replied: "Five days later, the slaves will leave for Liangzhou."

"Five days later?" Zhao Yao thought in his heart, the Huns would arrive in the capital in ten days, and he wanted to go to Liangzhou with Dou Le, but he might not be able to. "Then I can't go with you, can't you go later, after the Huns are gone, you can go."

"Your Majesty Tenth, slaves can't be the masters of this matter." Dou Le said with a look of embarrassment.

"Okay, then you go to Liangzhou to see the fourth brother first, and I will go later." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Do you want to bring something with you to Liangzhou?"

"It's natural. Your Majesty has prepared a lot of things for the servants to give to the prince and princess." Dou Le said, "The servants are going to Liangzhou by boat."

Zhao Yao was startled: "Concubine Li has prepared a boatload of things for Fourth Brother."

"almost."

Zhao Yao exclaimed in his heart: My dear, Concubine Li is really rich.

"I'm also preparing some things for Fourth Brother and Little Baozi, and you can bring them for me when the time comes."

"Yes, Tenth Highness."

After Dou Le finished speaking, he left Xingde Palace.

Tong Xi saw that Zhao Yao's face was a bit unhappy, so he hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

"Fourth brother must have had an accident, otherwise Concubine Li wouldn't have sent Dou Le to Liangzhou."

"Your Highness, didn't Dou Le just say that it was Concubine Li who missed the lord and His Royal Highness."

"Little Baozi is only two or three years old. No matter how much Concubine Li thinks about her grandson, she won't let Fourth Sister-in-law bring Xiao Baozi to the capital now." Zhao Yao said with a slightly sullen face, "Little Baozi can't stand a long journey at a young age. If you get sick or have an accident on the way, it will kill Xiao Baozi."

"Your Highness said so." Tong Xi asked anxiously and worriedly: What happened to His Highness King Chu? "

"I have to inquire about it." Zhao Yao showed a serious look on his face, "I hope it's not a big deal."

If it wasn't a big deal, Concubine Li wouldn't have sent Dou Le to Liangzhou.

There is one more.
