Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 317

The emperor and the empress have also been married for more than twenty years. Seeing the empress's appearance, you can tell that he is unhappy.The emperor waved his hand and asked Hao Chen to wash and change his clothes.

Hao Chen knew that his father wanted to persuade his mother, he knew his father's temperament, as long as he agreed, he would definitely do it, so he went to the apse with peace of mind.

After Hao Chen left, the emperor dismissed all the maids in front of him.Then he took the queen's hand and smiled. "Is Rou'er unhappy? Do you think the adopted daughter of the Lin family is not good enough for our Hao Chen?"

The queen's hand was held again, coupled with the emperor's amiable appearance, this made the queen's originally displeased heart surge with joy. "Your Majesty, the concubine's son is the most outstanding child. If you just choose a common girl to be the princess, the concubine will feel a little uncomfortable." The queen's tone was soft, and she looked up at the emperor. , In the eyebrows, the affection is lingering.

The queen usually looks dignified and virtuous, but today she rarely showed such a coquettish gesture, which made the emperor's heart flutter. "Rou'er, you have never met Qing He, how do you know that she is not worthy of Hao Chen? Is our son that kind of superficial person? If this Qing He girl has nothing to attract him, Hao Chen will not He ran all the way to Quanzhou just to welcome Qing He back from overseas."

"Furthermore, Qing He is Princess Ning'an's adoptive daughter, and she was brought up by Princess Ning'an since she was a child. I heard that this girl has learned a lot from Ning An, and even has good medical skills. She went overseas and traveled for four years, and now she has returned safely. Rou'er, do you think that such a woman is not worthy of our Hao Chen?" The emperor has spent all his time thinking about his son today.

The queen was a little surprised, "Your Majesty, you said that Qing He traveled to the sea for four years, but is it true? This is really amazing. Our Daqi really gave birth to a strange woman." The queen was yearning for it.She has been trapped in Beijing since she was born, and then lived in the palace for nearly 20 years. She has never seen what the outside world is like.When sending Li Haochen and Jinghan to travel together, the queen also strongly supported them.Now that I hear that there are women who can travel overseas, the Queen's heart is even more envious.

The queen sighed in her heart, her son has refused to choose a concubine these past few years, and she has long wondered if her son has someone in his heart.But she never thought that what her son liked was such a woman.The queen hesitated in her heart. As a mother, she still hoped that her son would be happy.But as a queen, she hoped that the future master of the harem would have a mind and a magnanimity that others could hardly match.I also hope that the future daughter-in-law can join hands with her son to face the wind and rain together.It's not a delicate beauty who can't bear the ups and downs of this harem.Looking at it this way, a woman like Qing He is quite qualified.

The emperor saw that his wife's heart was shaken, and hurriedly stepped up, "Rou'er, think about it, although Qing He's biological parents are farmers, they can't help Qing He Haochen. But on the other hand, they can't Using the influence of his relatives to stir up wind and rain in the court. Hao Chen will have a lot of peace of mind in the future. Princess Ning'an is only Qing He's adoptive mother after all. If their Lin family and Xu family want to maintain the current situation Therefore, we can only wholeheartedly plan for Hao Chen and help Hao Chen solve the problems in the court. In this way, Hao Chen will be of great help."

After a little thought, the queen understood what the emperor meant.If the Crown Princess' relatives are not revealed, no one will cause trouble by relying on the name of the Crown Princess.The Lin family and the Xu family, after all, are not the real natal families of the Crown Princess, and they cannot cause disturbances.In this way, for the son, there are indeed many benefits.

The queen gave birth to three sons, only Haochen was born when the emperor was still in the hidden mansion.At that time, the queen was just a concubine, and she brought up the child herself, so the relationship was naturally extraordinary.Later, when the second and third children were born, the children were specially fed by someone as soon as they were born. Although they were biological mothers and children, their relationship was not as good as that of Hao Chen.So the empress loves Hao Chen much more than the other two.Since her son really likes it, it's enough for her to make it happen once.

"Since His Majesty has already made a decision, it is natural for the concubine to object. So let's do it, it can be considered that the concubine has done her part for her son." The queen smiled sweetly and obediently agreed.

"I know that Rou'er understands my thoughts best. I will come over tonight and cook some delicious dishes. We husband and wife have not been able to have a good time together." The emperor was very happy.

When the queen heard this, she beamed with joy.The emperor has not come for a while, "The concubine obeys the order."

"Okay, let someone call Hao Chen, and let's tell him the good news in person. Let the child be happy too." The matter was settled like this.

On the second day of the court, the emperor decreed that six ports should be added on the southeast coast to serve as trade ports.In the past few years, the profits of the city and ships have been comparable to half of the annual income of the imperial court, but there are still too few external ports.Lin Zixuan has already written to the imperial court several times, requesting the establishment of additional ports and opening up trade across the board.This time, the emperor finally agreed.

Above the court, the ministers are also thinking about their little ones.The profit of this city ship is extraordinary, and Lin Zixuan has been in the position of city ship envoy for six years, this time seems a bit long.If someone else went, the oil and water involved would be expensive.

Before these ministers could play, the emperor's second decree came down.In the six years since Lin Zixuan served as the city's ship envoy, he has been conscientious, self-denying and dedicated to his duties, which is really rare.Lin Zixuan was specially transferred back to the capital and appointed Minister of the Household Department.

The minds of these people below became more lively, and some people couldn't help but gear up and wanted to use their strength towards Shibosi.But the emperor's third decree poured cold water on these people.

The third decree is that from now on, there will be no more city ships.Instead, in the state capital where each port is located, a Tongzhi person is added to be in charge of the city ship, and it is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, and the prefects of each state capital are supervised.That is to say, to divide power and no longer concentrate power in one person.

This prefect is only a fifth-rank official, the official position is too low, and the magistrate supervises from the side, so the power in his hands is not that great.Although it's more oily, but compared to Lin Zixuan's original power, it's heaven and earth.Many people sighed in their hearts, it seems that there is no need to think about it, it is better to be a Beijing official honestly.
