Phoenix Queen

In the past few years, although Jing Feng is the emperor, he has never neglected to go to Jinglan. Even if he is extremely honorable now, he always calls Jinglan the emperor's brother, but all of this is just because of Jinglan's sense of humor Jing Feng also helped to save some face.

Jing Lan has a whole body of talent. When Jing Yuan was still alive, he attached great importance to Jing Lan. He almost invited all the most famous gentlemen in Hua Chu into the palace, and asked them to teach the prince with all their talents. At that time, Jing Lan was capable of writing and martial arts, Wen was better than Jing Feng, and Wu was not weaker than Jing Feng. If Jing Feng hadn't met his master Yi Huan later, I'm afraid... Even if he wasn't suppressed by Jing Lan, he would be fine. It is stronger than Jinglan.

Jing Feng was only born to a court lady, and his birth was not as good as Jing Lan's. Even in terms of seniority, he couldn't take advantage of it. The late emperor Jing Yuan had fifteen sons, and the first prince was born to Jing Yuan's concubine, but The relatives of the queen's family are too powerful. Jing Yuan never wanted the queen to give birth to a prince. He wanted to give birth to a princess. However, the queen's belly was upbeat and she had a son at the first birth. Before the queen's family could be happy for a few days, The child died the next day, and no one else dared to speak out, but no one in the palace knew... The reason why the eldest prince died was actually strangled to death by the late emperor when he was born.

Afterwards, the second prince, Jing Lan, became the boss of the palace. At that time, in order to protect Jing Lan, Jing Yuan deliberately promoted the eighth prince, the son of Xiangui Concubine, to the position of prince. It was also after a weak crown year that Jing Yuan abolished the eighth prince and changed Jing Lan to be the prince.

And Jing Feng.From birth to Jing Yuan's death, Jing Yuan never hugged him once, and it was fine if he ignored him. When he was four years old, Jing Feng fell ill and almost died. His mother sent Jing Feng to him desperately. When I went to the imperial hospital, I only asked the imperial doctor to take a look at the child. Although Jing Feng's biological mother was humble, she did.No matter how unfavored Jing Feng was, he was still a prince. The imperial physician said after seeing that, if Jing Feng wanted to survive, he had to buy a thousand-year-old red ginseng, and that was not the season for ginseng to grow.There happened to be only one red ginseng in the palace...

Even though he was only four years old, Jing Feng would never forget that scene... At that time, Jing Feng was sick with the Eighth Prince, that is, the prince at that time, and the prince suffered from an ordinary cold.It only needs to be recuperated for a few days, but the imperial doctor is too talkative.He said, "Red ginseng is the best medicine for recuperation", just like that, at that time, Jing Yuan gave the only red ginseng to the prince without even thinking about it, you know... that is his life Medicinal materials, the same is the son.The situation he got was two extremes, the world and the underground. Fortunately, he also entered the palace at that time.Otherwise, Jing Feng and Ben would not be alive now.

Because of that time, all Jing Feng's innocence was buried with his own hands on that day. From then on, that four-year-old child personally abandoned the blood relationship with Jing Yuan, which is why he was able to hurt his father later Biggest reason for a killer!

After learning martial arts from Yi Huan for more than ten years, when Jing Feng returned to the palace, he was still unfavored, and the only mother in the whole palace who was kind to him was forced to death by the concubines in the palace, causing their mother and child to live together. I haven't seen you for the last time...

Until now, Jing Feng still can't understand that Jing Yuan didn't do his best for Jing Lan. However, when he seized the throne, the person who most hoped for Jing Yuan's death happened to be Jing Lan. The more Jing Yuan hoped that Jing Lan could inherit the throne, Lan was not as good as Jing Yuan's wish, even if Jing Yuan forced him to die, Jing Lan would not wear a dragon robe...Later, Jing Feng had the help of Situ's family, so he had a little capital in his hands, but compared to Jing Lan's far from...

Later, Jing Lan handed over the soldier talisman to Jing Feng, and helped Jing Feng obtain the throne. It was also Jing Lan's move that made Jing Feng kill all the princes and leave Jing Lan alone. In the eyes of others, the relationship between Jing Feng and Jing Lan was very good.

Speaking of it, Jing Lan really made Jing Feng jealous. When Jing Yuan was in power, whether it was water control or distribution of granaries, Jing Lan was sent to do anything. Therefore, Jing Lan's reputation among the people has always been The best and most popular of all the princes, and Jing Yuan himself is also a great talent. In the past, Hua Chu encountered a once-in-a-century plague of locusts. The plague of locusts was not resolved. Half a month later, another big one happened. Water caused floods. At that time, the Chinese treasury was empty, and none of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty could come up with a fruitful solution.It was Jing Lan who went to the disaster area in person and taught the people to feed on locusts, and then caught a large number of locusts for the government to sell in places that were not affected by the disaster.

It took a long time for the common people to accept the locusts. At that time, Jing Lan called all the imperial cooks in the palace and asked them to use locusts as dishes, and distributed hundreds of imperial cooks to various places in the country that were not affected by the disaster... Finally At first, as long as someone dared to eat locusts, Jing Lan would give five taels of silver. No one in the court would say that Jing Lan was crazy, but Jing Lan persisted under the spurning of civil and military officials in the court.

After arriving, the people found that the people who ate the locusts not only did not die, but were addicted to it. They went to try it every day, and that was it... The people became more courageous, and more and more people ate the locusts. , until later, when mentioning the dish of locusts, everyone was full of praise!At this time, Jing Lan sent a letter to Feige, asking all the imperial chefs across the country to stop cooking locusts, and did not continue to distribute money. Instead, they set up plaques everywhere to prevent restaurants from wanting to learn from it. For this dish, you have to pay 1 taels of silver!

1 taels is not a small sum, but there were still some big restaurants who dared to do it, so they handed over the money one after another, and that's it...Jing Lanleng raised 98 taels of silver for the treasury within three months!At that time, Jing Lan tried a plate of five taels of silver, and Sheng Shenghua lost 8 taels of silver, and even Jing Yuan blamed Jing Lan, but there is no comparison between these 8 taels and 98 taels of silver!

After that time, Jing Yuan was even more optimistic about Jing Lan, and he was more satisfied with his son. Thinking back when everyone scolded Jing Lan, Jing Lan was not discouraged. This can be regarded as the vision of an emperor. After getting 98 taels of silver, Jing Lan didn't even show off to the ministers who scolded him at the beginning, this is the mind of an emperor.After having the silver, it was useless for Jing Lan to send all the silver to the disaster area. This is the kindness of the emperor.

At that time, everyone thought that the matter of transporting the money to the disaster area was over, but... it was far more than that, Jing Lan could do more!

After the locusts were eaten, all the restaurants that paid the money made money.The number of people is increasing day by day, so... food materials such as locusts are becoming more and more rare in places that have not been affected by the disaster. The so-called rarity is the most expensive thing. At that time, a catty of locusts was even worth a hundred taels, which was comparable to beautiful jade... If there is demand, there will be a market , Businessmen from all over the world turned their attention to locust-stricken areas.But, what to do, the area outside the locust plague has been flooded, thinking that the disaster area has to go around the waterway, and the journey will take more than a month...

All wealthy businessmen must have vision.This is what Jing Lan valued, at that time.He gathered together all the rich businessmen who wanted to do locust business. There were six rich businessmen worth more than a million dollars, more than five hundred rich businessmen who were worth between [-] and [-] million, and one under [-] The next is countless...Since everyone wants to do locust business, then, if you have the money, you can contribute.If you want to make money, you have to give something... At that time, Jing Lan immediately issued an edict in the name of the court, and the locusts were managed as the royal family.Like salt merchants, if they sell it privately without the royal permission, then... it is a death penalty.

Of course, even though Yanshi has to pay a lot of taxes to the royal family every year, he still makes money. Otherwise, what is the business doing if he eats too much? How much do you want, your royal family will say, they can afford tens of thousands of taels!At that time, the court also thought that Jing Lan would take the opportunity to win another match, but it was beyond the court's expectation...Jing Feng's condition was not taxes, not money!Instead, divert water to irrigate the fields, divert the accumulated water from the floods, and build a road leading directly to the locust plagued area!Whoever builds the longest road will get more locusts, and after that...the royal family will not demand any tax from the rich merchants!

Is that good?Isn't that bad!

The rich merchants almost thought they had heard it wrong, but all in all, this is a great thing, if the road is built, then they can at least reduce half a month's journey and earn money earlier, not to mention, as long as During those half a month, the wages that the wealthy businessmen have to pay to the workers, as well as the workers' food expenses, travel expenses, etc. will far exceed the money spent on road construction!

With Jinglan’s policy in place, it’s terrible. The enthusiasm of the wealthy businessmen is very impressive. They pay for it themselves, move the sand and gravel by themselves, find workers to repair the road, and they are afraid that others will repair more than themselves. Day and night He worked hard, greatly speeding up the progress of road construction, marking the road along the way, wishing that he built the whole road by himself, and no one else would interfere!There are other people who are afraid that if they don't build roads, they won't even have the locust business. They cry out in a hurry, and go to the government to manage, just begging the government to set aside a distance for him to repair. Secretly, the government also has a deal. Yes, the price is clearly marked as 3000 taels per foot... There are too many businessmen asking the government, and the wealthy merchants raise the price by themselves. In order to buy more roads, the distance per foot is raised to [-] taels Woolen cloth!

Just like that, Jinglan didn't pay any money, the road was repaired in a short period of time, the water was cured, and he helped the court win a large sum of money...

Next, it's time to remind the disaster area. Jinglan personally told the people from door to door that anyone who came to collect locusts should not pay less than 20 taels a catty. A wealthy businessman stepped into the disaster area, and the first locust business was sold...

20 taels a catty, after being sold to the restaurant, it is more than a hundred taels a catty, more than five times more!

The number of people in the disaster area increased, and the original victims had the money to hire laborers to catch locusts. At that time, it seemed that no amount of locusts was enough to catch them, so naturally...the locusts were caught by manpower alone. I'm afraid... people can't wait for more locust plagues!

The troublesome locust plague was completely wiped out by Jing Lan!

After that, the disaster-stricken area became richer, and became the richest county outside of Huachu Capital. Until now, if you go to the disaster-stricken area that day, you can still see Lanwang Temple. Gods, they built a temple in the shape of Jinglan, and the incense has been flourishing for many years. The disaster area also changed its name that day, and now it is called Xielan County!Does anyone know what the name means?The people in Xielan County may not know Jing Feng, but who dare not know Jing Lan?

As soon as this happened, Jing Lan made Jing Feng jealous... But after that, Jing Lan became less and less concerned about the affairs of the court. Look, it's not the first time that Jing Lan has drawn a picture of a beauty on that memorial.

Why doesn't Jing Feng know that Jing Lan is pretending, but what can he do? He won't be so stupid as to force Jing Lan not to be stupid, to force Jing Lan to show his courage again, so he has always been very conniving. Jing Lan, Jing Lan asked him to play if he wanted to play, but Jing Lan didn't think the moon silver was enough, so he sent someone to Jing Lan to send it to him.

Jing Feng always believes that even if Jing Lan, who can do such a thing, has no military power, he will not be slaughtered by others. Besides, under the oppression of the Yi family, Situ family and Jierni family, Jing Feng I was struggling a little bit. In the three major families, there were still too many people who were attached to Jing Lan. I dared not say it clearly, but I wished that the emperor could change positions. If Jing Lan planned to usurp the throne at that time, even if he didn't succeed, he would lose too much!

But fortunately, what Jing Lan has done in the past few years has reassured Jing Feng, and besides, he really doesn't want to be an emperor, so Jing Feng hopes that he can keep balancing the balance of brothers and sisters...

Jing Lan has been a good prince all his life, and both Yu Jinglan and Jing Feng are a good thing. If this is the case, Jing Feng doesn't mind others publicizing how good his relationship with Jing Lan is, and he won't let Jing Lan become a The empty prince, as long as it does not harm Hua Chu's interests, as long as it does not touch the military power, then if Jing Feng dares to give Jing Lan the greatest power, if anyone dares not to listen to what Jing Lan says, and if anyone dares to obedience and disobedience, then he will definitely do well. Clean up that guy.Perhaps, it was precisely because Jing Feng was able to do this that Jing Lan kept pretending to be crazy in the court without making any achievements, so as to make the ministers who were devoted to him, the former prince, completely give up their hearts.

After coughing twice, Jing Feng withdrew his gaze from Jing Lan, and glanced at all the ministers, especially the heads of the Yi family and the Jierni family who stayed the longest, "Xia Ying has arrived in Hua Chu, and it is My woman, I will not allow anyone to gossip about her, you all remember."

In fact, Jing Feng would not know that the more he protects Xia Ying, the more dangerous Xia Ying's situation will be, but he wants to do this. First, he believes that Xia Ying will not be easily killed by these ministers and concubines. Second, he He suffered a few big losses at Xia Ying's hands, and he couldn't see that Xia Ying's life in Hua Chu would be stable.What's more, he has the ambition to rule the world... If Xia Ying is determined to be his enemy, after Jing Feng finds out the secret of Bei Mingyu, Jing Feng would never dare to keep Xia Ying.Not for anything else, just because this woman is too smart and has the morale of the army!In just a few days, Mu Chen was completely convinced!He is also more familiar with the art of war than most men, and the soldiers of Daxia admire Xia Ying even more. As long as Xia Ying lives for a day, Daxia's army's morale will not fall for a day!

No matter how you look at it, Xia Ying is the biggest obstacle for him to dominate the world!For some reason, thinking of this, Jing Feng had a faint wish in his heart that Bei Mingyu's secret could be hidden a little deeper, so that he could find out later!
