I really didn't want to be emperor

It has been two months since the opening of the Academy of Sciences, and it is already deep winter unknowingly, not far from the end of the year.

The weather in Xishan is getting colder and colder, and the work of the coal mine is getting busy. Shen Wansan recruits more and more craftsmen.

The people and craftsmen in Xishan were still busy, and they didn't stop because of the cold weather.

During this period of time, Ye Jun spent all his thoughts on the greenhouse. The watermelon, tomato, cucumber, and eggplant in the shed grew fiercely.

Seeing them getting bigger and bigger, Ye Jun's face was full of ecstasy. The thought that he could still eat watermelon and fresh vegetables after the winter, it was not good to think about it.

These vegetables are believed to be liked by the concubines.

As for the war ahead, good news is also coming, and the New Moon Kingdom war ended a month ago.

The Dongman army had no results and chose to withdraw to the land of Dongman. Fusang and Nanwu suffered heavy casualties, and finally withdrew from Crescent Nation.

At the moment, the land of the new moon was completely controlled by Xia Jun. In the military newspaper sent by King Pingxi, it was mentioned that Fusang retreated to the South China Sea and it was impossible to return before the New Year.

It's freezing cold and sailing on the South China Sea is not so easy.

On the other side, the war in the north was under the attack of Yuwen Chengdu and Li Cunxiao, which not only recovered the lost ground, but also captured the northern Qin border city.

Now Bei Qin chose to truce, and the northern army was guarding the northern sky city. They defended the city firmly and did not dare to cross the thunder pond.

The reputation of Xia Jun spread all over the world once again. In addition to Yue Fei and Lu Bu, Yuwen Chengdu, Li Cunxiao, Ma Chao, Xue Rengui, and Chang Yuchun were also famous in the world.

He gained fame and became the most feared summer general in the world.

...........

This day.

Ye Jun got up early and took Luo Shixin to the greenhouse. Because the watermelon was ripe today, he planned to pluck three watermelons and send them to the Imperial Palace and the East Palace.

Let Xia Huang, the empress dowager, and the prince have a taste, after all, this is the first time they have eaten watermelon in their lives.

After a lot of work, five large watermelons and two baskets of vegetables were sent out from the greenhouse.

Ye Jun and Luo Shixin were about to return to Xishan with two baskets of vegetables, but they found Zhuge Liang's figure appearing in Tianye.

Zhuge Liang stepped forward quickly, came to Ye Jun, bowed and said, "Lord, Grandpa is here to Xishan."

Ye Jun tightened the cloak that Luo Shixin put on him, "Kong Ming, what happened to Father Gao coming."

Zhuge Liang said: "The prince, the Southern Tang Mission has entered Beijing, and your Majesty let the prince enter the palace."

Ye Jun nodded, "It should be a major event for the Southern Tang Mission to enter Beijing at this time."

It just so happened that he wanted to send vegetables into the palace, so he went to see what was the purpose of the Nantang mission.

After returning to Xishan.

The chariot stopped, and Gothe stood waiting outside the courtyard with four Golden Dragon Guards.

Seeing that Ye Jun came back, Gothe hurriedly greeted him, "Master, how come this cold weather is still going down?"

Ye Jun smiled and said: "The fruits are ripe, of course this king will go to the ground."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "Gao Gong, do you know that Nantang entered Beijing for what?"

Gao De said: "It seems to be here for help. The old slave doesn't know what is going on."

"Seek help?" Ye Jun nodded and looked back at Luo Shixin, "Shixin, drive into the palace with this king."

As soon as he was about to get up and leave, he seemed to have thought of something suddenly, "Shixin, take off two watermelons on the car wheel and leave them to the concubine.

Ye Jun got up and walked towards the small courtyard, facing Daji and Chen Nian, "Two beloved concubines, these two watermelons are reserved for you. After cutting them with a knife, you can eat them."

Thinking that the two women hadn't eaten it before, he simply took the watermelon in Luo Shixin's hand and asked Daji to go to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.

Then, cut the watermelon directly.

"Ai, have a taste!"

Ye Jun said quietly, picked up two pieces of watermelon and handed them to Zhuge Liang and Gao De, "You guys also taste them."

Gothe was shocked and looked at the watermelon in Ye Jun's palm, "Master, can you really eat it?"

Ye Jundao: "Don't worry about eating, it won't kill you. You must know that this king is going to give it to the emperor. Today you are considered a blessing, otherwise you will not eat watermelon in your life."

Gothe took the watermelon in Ye Jun's hand, first took a bite, and then he began to gnaw wildly, completely losing his image.

Ye Jun looked at Gao De and quickly said, "Daddy Gao, you can't eat that skin!"

Gothe: "............"

Ye Jun said again: "I love concubine, you take people to the shed to pick some watermelons to the people and the Academy of Sciences, and leave a watermelon for Feng Xiao, Kong Ming, and Master Ou Yezi."

Daji owed her body, "The prince is relieved to enter the palace, and the concubine will take people to the shed in the afternoon."

Ye Jun glanced at Gao De, "Daddy Gao, let's go."

Gothe looked at the watermelon on the wooden table and smiled awkwardly, "Master, can the old slave eat another piece?"

Ye Junyun was calm and gentle, "Of course it can."

.........

On the way back to Jinling.

Gao De slid his horse on Ye Jun's side, "Master, that watermelon is really delicious, it's the best fruit that an old slave has eaten in his life."

Ye Jundao: "Of course, in fact, there are other fruits in the king's shed, but it will take a few years to grow fruits. Those fruits are more delicious than watermelons."

Gothe looked envious, "The prince is really a god, and he can grow fruits and vegetables in winter, which is beyond imagination."

"If you tell the world, no one will believe it."

Ye Jun smiled and said, "Don't worry, the king will start selling, and the people will believe it."

Gao De said: "..........."

After a pause, he spoke again: "If the prince starts selling, he must notify the old slave."

Ye Jundao: "Yes, we will definitely notify."

.........

After entering the palace.

Ye Jun, Luo Shixin, led by Gothe, came outside the imperial study room, Gothe reported to the palace.

Xia Huang said: "Hurry up and let Jun'er enter the palace."

Ye Jun entered the imperial study room, and a warm current rushed towards him. He didn't expect that Emperor Xia would start using the stove so early.

Then, he looked to both sides and found that there were four people sitting there. You don't need to guess that these four were envoys of Nan Tang.

Emperor Xia motioned to Ye Jun to take his seat, and said: "Jun'er, the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty is here, and he wants to buy my Xia Guo soldiers, and he also hopes that Xia Guo will send troops to help them attack Nanliang."

Hear the sound.

Ye Jun nodded. He knew the existence of the Nanliang Kingdom, neighboring Nantang, and its national strength was not the same as Nantang.

However, the Southern Tang Dynasty focused on the development of agriculture, while the Southern Liang was a military industry, but after all, its national strength was limited, and it had been unable to compete with the Northern Qin, Southern Chu, Western Wei, Dongman, and Xia.

There is nothing to bully Xia Nantang.

Ye Jun looked at Emperor Xia and said: "Father, Nantang is a friend of Xia Guo. We should help."

Speaking of this, he paused and looked at the envoy of Nantang, "I wonder how many weapons and horses your country needs?"

The envoy of Nantang said: "The more the better, the Nanliang and the North Qin collude. Their weapons are extremely sharp and our armor can be easily penetrated, so this time we are going to replace all the equipment of the three armies."

Ye Jun was stunned slightly, his expression distressed, "This amount is a bit big!"
