The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

In the royal study, the emperor read the secret letter sent back by the Dragon Guard and couldn't help laughing: "Hahahahaha..."

Sun Kui, who was taking a nap by the side, was frightened when he heard the emperor's laughter, and he woke up. He hurriedly turned around and looked towards the emperor. Seeing the smile on his face, he asked curiously: "Your Majesty, what good thing happened to make you so happy?"

The emperor said with pride: "This brat Xiao Shi really did not disappoint me."

At the mention of His Highness the King of Han, Sun Kui suddenly became energetic. He hurriedly patted the dragon's fart: "The dragon father has no dog sons."

The emperor smiled and said: "I didn't teach him how to do it. The success of this trade conference is all the result of Xiao Shi himself."

Previously, when Zhao Yao wanted to hold a trade conference, although the emperor was a little worried that he would not be able to hold it, he did not step in to help him. The emperor wanted to see if his younger son could hold a trade conference. If he could do it, what would he do?

Regarding the specific process of holding the trade conference, Zhao Yao did not report carefully to the emperor. He only reported to the emperor the list of foreign dignitaries attending the trade conference.

After the emperor learned that foreign countries such as Annan and Piao would send royal members to attend Zhao Yao's trade conference, he knew that his younger son could start the trade conference, but he did not expect that his younger son would make the trade conference so successful.

"I thought that holding the trade conference might be a small fuss, but I didn't expect that this guy would make more money during the trade conference than the tax revenue of the Ministry of Revenue in a year." The emperor exclaimed, "This is just the beginning. Wait until next year. , I’m afraid this kid will make several times more money than he does now.”

Sun Kui opened his mouth wide and exclaimed: "Is that much?" It was several times more than the Ministry of Household's annual tax revenue. How much money was that? His Royal Highness the King of Han is worthy of being the God of Wealth of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"There will be more in the future." The emperor said with emotion, "The brat is right. Marsh Mansion is a good place with great potential for development. In a few years, the brat will build Marsh Mansion into the number one trade center in the Great Zhou Dynasty. State capital, when that time comes, Marsh House will not lose to Yangzhou."

"Is this... Marsh Mansion so powerful?" Sun Kui has never been to Marsh Mansion, but he heard that all the state capitals in Lingnan are very poor. How come the Han Dynasty Prince went to Marsh Mansion and made Marsh Mansion worse than Yangzhou? Want to be rich? Yangzhou Prefecture has been a prosperous place since ancient times. Half of the tax revenue of the Ministry of Household Affairs comes from Yangzhou Prefecture.

"Marsh Mansion is on the seaside, close to foreign countries like Annan and Johor, and shipping is very convenient." The emperor said, "The brat told me before that there are many countries far away from the countries in Annan, and there is another country among them. His name is Mi Xi'er, and he is said to be richer than Annan. The brat plans to send people to Mi Xi'er in the future to do business with Mi Xi'er."

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, there are more than a dozen countries on the Annan side. How many countries are there on the Michel side far away from Annan?"

"I heard that there are more than a dozen countries." The emperor crossed his hands to support his chin and continued, "The brat plans to build a maritime Silk Road."

"Your Majesty, is His Highness the King of Han planning to go to Mixi'er?"

"He plans to do business there." After the emperor finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned, "With the character of the brat, maybe he really plans to go to those overseas countries in the future. However, I will not give He will go when he has the chance." The emperor knew in his heart that once Zhao Yao was allowed to go overseas to a foreign country, he would most likely not come back.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Han Dynasty held such a successful trade conference and military parade this time, but it has made many people in the court jealous." In the morning court these days, people played His Highness the Han Dynasty every day, saying that His Highness the Han Dynasty was ambitious and colluded with foreign nations. , intending to rebel.

When this matter was mentioned, the emperor's eyes turned cold and stern.

"I know in my heart what they are planning."

Sun Kui thought to himself, fortunately, the emperor loves and trusts His Highness the King of Han. Otherwise, after hearing those ministers say bad things about His Highness the King of Han these days, he would really think that His Highness the King of Han is planning to rebel.

The ministers in the court did not know that the emperor very much hoped that His Highness the King of Han would rebel. If His Highness the King of Han really wants to rebel, the Emperor will happily pass the throne to His Highness the King of Han immediately, and then he will become the Supreme Emperor and take Concubine Liang around for fun.

"Your Majesty, aren't you worried that those people will be detrimental to His Highness the King of Han?" This trade conference allowed the ministers of the DPRK to see the money-making ability of His Highness the King of Han. Although His Highness the King of Han is far away in Lingnan, those people will definitely not let him go easily.

"I'm not worried. If the brat can't even handle this, then he should stay in Lingnan and be his King of Han." The emperor really wasn't worried about Zhao Yao. "The brat is smart, those people can't deal with him."

"His Royal Highness the Han Dynasty is really amazing. In less than a year after going to Marsh Mansion, he turned the poor and backward Marsh Mansion into a wealthy place that is not inferior to Yangzhou." Sun Kui has never been to Marsh Mansion, nor has he witnessed the aftermath of the trade conference. Marsh Mansion, but he could imagine the changes before and after Marsh Mansion.

"What's wrong with this?" The emperor leaned back in his chair, put his hands behind his head, and raised his feet on the royal table. "The brat's abilities haven't been fully utilized yet."

Sun Kui was stunned when he heard this: "His Royal Highness the King of Han is about to turn the Marsh Mansion into the Yangzhou Mansion. Hasn't he fully utilized his abilities? What would happen if His Highness the King of Han fully utilized his abilities? ?”

"He will turn many state capitals in the Great Zhou Dynasty into swamps." The emperor said, with an expectant smile on his face. "By then, the Great Zhou Dynasty will usher in a peaceful and prosperous era." Sun Kui imagined the peace. The situation in the prosperous age also showed a look of expectation on his face.

"I wonder if this slave has the honor to see the peaceful and prosperous days of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"If you live longer, you will be able to see it." The emperor glanced at Sun Kui up and down, and said in a joking tone, "Eunuchs live very long, and your grandson will definitely live to that time."

"According to your auspicious words, your Majesty, I will try to live longer." If he could really see the prosperous age of the Great Zhou Dynasty, then his life would be worth it and he would die without regrets.

"You will take a good look at it then, and then when you get underground, tell me in detail what the peaceful and prosperous age created by the brat will look like."

Sun Kui was frightened by the emperor's words, "Your Majesty, you will definitely be able to see it."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "I won't live that long."

"Your Majesty, you will definitely live a long life."

"I am not a bastard." Of course the emperor also wanted to see with his own eyes the prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty created by his youngest son, but it was a pity that he could not see it. He knew that his body was in good shape if it could last another twenty years.

"Your Majesty..." Sun Kui was flustered by the emperor's words.

The emperor interrupted Sun Kui, "If that brat can take the throne earlier, maybe I can live a few more years." He curled his lips and said with resentment, "If this bastard emperor continues to be the emperor, I will live a long life." Even if he is 100 years old, he will not live to be a hundred years old."

Sun Kui felt the emperor's overwhelming resentment: "..." Your Majesty, you really despise being the emperor.

At this time, the secret guard came in, took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Sun Kui.

Sun Kui took the letter and then held it in front of the emperor with both hands.

When the emperor looked at the envelope of the secret letter, he knew it was a letter from the north. His eyes froze slightly, and he hurriedly opened the letter and read it.

When Sun Kui saw the emperor's expression becoming solemn, his heart tightened, and he subconsciously breathed softly and stood aside.

After the emperor read the letter, he solemnly ordered Sun Kui: "Go and call He Xiang and the others."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Half an hour later, He Xiang, Taishi Liu and Song Weikang appeared in the imperial study.

The emperor handed the secret message sent back from the north to He Xiang and others.

After Master Liu and the others finished reading, their expressions instantly became serious.

"I plan to send my second son to the north. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the current situation in the North is complicated. Are you sure you want to send the Dai Wang there?" He Xiang felt that sending the Dai Wang to the North at this time would only make the situation there more complicated.

"King Dai once served as a soldier in the Northern Territory. He is most familiar with the Northern Territory, so it is more appropriate for him to go." As for the King of Han in Youzhou, Taishi Liu did not consider it. When King Dai goes to the north, this is something he should worry about. "With the ability to lead troops on behalf of the king, he went to the northern border and will solve the danger in the northern border."

Today I was asked to go to dinner by relatives again. I came back in the middle of the night and wrote a chapter in a hurry. During the day, I will write another update.
