I don't want to be king

Chapter 432
While looking at Lin Yi's expression, Mingyue said cautiously, "My lord, I don't know if I should say something or not.

If I say so, I'm afraid that the prince will dislike the noisy slaves. "

Lin Yi turned his head and gave her a white look, and said, "You have been with me all these years, you should understand this king's temperament, the more verbose you are, the more annoying you are.

If you have something to say, hurry up, no matter what, I forgive you for your innocence, if you continue talking, you will just scold me. "

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness,"

Mingyue saw that there was only Zixia next to her, so she began to say boldly, "The ginseng and deer antlers that the concubine gave to the concubine were delivered by Xiao Xizi himself, so he had a heart and chatted a little more with the servants.

From what he said, Concubine Yuan Gui seemed interested in finding a consort for the princess. "

Lin Yi frowned and said, "Find a son-in-law for Ning'er?"

He suddenly thought that his own sister is not young anymore!

He has always been thinking about marriage according to the thinking of the modern world. Isn't it normal for a woman to get married at 27?
But I didn't think about it. In this world, if you don't get married, you are already an old girl!

"It is said that the empress does have this meaning, after all, the princess is not young anymore,"

Seeing Lin Yi's uneasy expression, Mingyue became more careful when speaking, "If you delay any longer, it will be bad."

Anyone who has been with Prince He for a long time knows that Princess Lin Ning of Huaiyang is the prince's opposite scale and weakness.

He and the prince have always been very careful in guarding Princess Huaiyang.

Today, anyone who offends Princess Huaiyang basically has no good end.

Lin Yi sighed, "Yeah, Lin Ning's age is indeed not young, it's time to get married, who can the empress choose?"

Mingyue hesitated for a moment and said, "If the news about Xiao Xizi is correct, it is probably Chen Kai who just won the number one prize."

"Chen Kai?"

After Lin Yi thought for a while, he suddenly realized, "It turned out to be him, and I personally read Qiu Wei's business papers, and I also ordered his number one scholar.

What he didn't expect was that he would be Chen Yan's son. "

Chen Yan of the Guozijian Jijiu used to be Lin Yi's lecturer, and Lin Yi knew him very well. How could such a "emphasis on agriculture" faction give birth to such a person who is only interested in money and advocates "no country?" The business is not prosperous, and the people are not rich without business" son?

Mingyue smiled and said, "Wang Ye means that this person is good?"

But Lin Yi shook his head and said, "Although Chen Desheng, He Jixiang and other elders agreed with me to increase the proportion of scores in business, mathematics, and physics in the scientific examination, there is one thing that they will not agree with, that is, the writing of this article is not good. Can't be the champion.

Therefore, for Chen Kai to be the number one scholar, it is one thing that he is good at business, and more importantly, his essays are good. Even He Jixiang is a person who is full of praise, of course he is good. "

"This Chen Kai's talent is indeed remarkable,"

Zixia next to her couldn't help interjecting, "I just don't know what kind of temperament it is, so don't wrong the princess."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Actually, I would like to find an old rich landlord for the princess, who will have a wealth of money and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life."

Mingyue was stunned and then said, "My lord, I remember you said that since ancient times, a beautiful woman matches a talented man, but no landlord. If a beautiful woman matches the landlord's wealth, everything will be ruined."

Lin Yi picked up the teacup again, and said with rare patience, "I'm talking about writing novels. Everyone's favorite protagonist should be handsome men and beautiful women, talented men and beautiful women. No matter how bad you are, you must have a domineering president. You are a landlord and rich man. Who likes to watch it?
This kind of book must hit the street and have no market.

In novels, there is nothing wrong with love and love.

However, living in reality is different. Poetry and poetry cannot be eaten as a meal. To return to reality, daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, everything needs money, and as long as you have money, you can solve most of the problems in life.

Landlords and wealthy families have great careers and a good life, so they are naturally the best candidates for choosing a son-in-law. "

Mingyue was puzzled and said, "My lord, as a national prison supervisor, although his salary is meager, he has lived in Yuzhou for generations, and there is no shortage of money in Yuzhou's fertile farmland."

Since he was looking for someone rich, the Chen family must agree.

More importantly, this Chen Kai family of officials and eunuchs has a profound family background, which is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

"Hey, you guys still don't understand what this king is thinking. This king doesn't want Lin Ning to find an official,"

Lin Yi shook his head and sighed, "For example, Chen Kai, if one day he gets confused and violates the laws and regulations, do you think I will kill him or not?

If you don't cut it, it is against the law of the country.

Cut it off, it's unreasonable again, this princess will inevitably hate me in the future, brothers and sisters can't do it. "

"My lord is wise."

After Mingyue and Zixia looked at each other, they hurriedly said in unison.

Even if the prince has already said this, the two of them dare not make any more noise.

"Okay, get up and talk, don't kneel at every turn, this king is very annoying,"

Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "Go to the palace and ask Xiao Xizi to confirm."

If his old lady really made up her mind to find Chen Kai to be her son-in-law, he would stop her immediately.

The idea is that I am afraid that I will make the mistakes that Emperor Delong made in the future.

Thinking of the Eldest Princess Lin Yuner, he couldn't help feeling uneasy again.

Where did you go?
Now that he has arranged so many people to investigate, he still doesn't know his whereabouts!
Mingyue said, "Yes."

After finishing speaking, he quietly withdrew.

After a heavy rain, the dust that filled the sky suddenly disappeared, and the whole world suddenly became clean.

Day two.

As soon as I woke up in the morning, I immediately went to the wing room to tease my daughter.

Seeing that the child's eyes were still asleep, he didn't try to wake the child up, and quietly left the room.

After brushing his teeth, washing his face, and serving breakfast, He Jixiang came over.

Lin Yi looked at the skinny He Jixiang, and asked with concern, "Mr. He got up so early today, have you eaten yet?"

He Jixiang said tremblingly, "Report to the lord, the old minister has finished eating."

"Come here, show me a seat, serve tea, and then take this snack over. It's very soft, and you should be able to bite into it,"

After Lin Yi spoke to Mingyue, he pointed to the pumpkin pancakes in front of him and said, "This is also fine, it's easy to digest and won't burden the stomach."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace."

He Jixiang leaned back slightly and sat down again.

Lin Yi said while eating, "You must have something important to do when you come here early in the morning, so let's talk about it, what's worth your special trip."

The old men are old and have a lot of things to do. Lin Yi was afraid that they would suffer a sudden cerebral hemorrhage or die from overwork, so he was very lenient to them and never let them run away if they had nothing to do.

Don't ask him for instructions if you can make your own decisions.

Even if the decision is wrong, it's no big deal.

Consciously correcting is the most important thing.

He Jixiang cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Mr. Shanqi came to report that after Li Fu's death, Ayu Kingdom has now been completely occupied by foreign devils, even the palace is gone.

When Sanhe's merchant ships docked at the port of Asoka as usual, they would be interrogated innocently by foreign devils. Last month, Liang Gen detained three large ships and detained seventy crew members.

Mr. Shanqi specially sent people from the Shibo Department to negotiate, but so far there is no result. "

"Since the cannons of the foreign devils have killed Li Fu, it will be a matter of time before they occupy the palace of Ayu Kingdom. There is nothing to make a fuss about."

Lin Yi put down the mung bean cake in his hand, clapped his hands, picked up the teacup, and said with emotion, "It's just that they suddenly came to cause trouble for Daliang Kingdom, which is beyond my expectation, and they are not afraid of being overwhelmed."

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the foreign devils in this world were like those Western powers he knew in his previous life!

Relying on the strength of the ship and guns, show off your might in the eastern world!
However, in his impression, this world has always been a fantasy world!

Although he has always believed in science, the sudden victory of the science cannon against the big boss in "Fantasy" still makes him a little unbelievable.

He has not been idle these years, and has been investing huge sums of money in research and development of gunpowder and cannons.

One shot down, open mountains and crack rocks!
In Lin Yi's view, this power is not small!

Unfortunately, from the eyes of Ye Qiu and Wen Zhaoyi, he saw disdain.

That is to say, the cannon that he worked so hard and spent so much money to research is bullshit in the eyes of these great masters.

However, the strange thing is, why can the foreign devil's cannon kill the Grand Master?
Could it be that Li Fu of Asoka is a parallel importer?
He was also curious about this question.

In the end, Wen Zhaoyi said that Li Fu's abilities were superior to hers!
Are the cannons of the foreign devils more powerful than his?

"My lord,"

He Jixiang stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, "A few days ago, Ding Lun, the Dharma king of Nangu, I wonder if the prince still has an impression?"

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Ding Lun ran away, but aren't those followers still locked up in the prison?
Can the people from the Ministry of Rites interrogate anything? "

"Report to the lord, this is also the reason why the old minister came to see the lord,"

He Jixiang said in a deep voice, "Nangu people say that when people with blond hair and blue eyes enter Nangu, they also have cannons."

"Blonde?"

Lin Yi's first reaction was that the foreign devils also entered Nangu, "These people are all-pervasive, but I remember Xie Xiaoqing said that Nangu is located on a plateau with high mountains and steep roads, and it is not easy for ordinary people to enter. This foreign devil is far away in the west. , how did you get in?"

He Jixiang said, "Your Majesty does not know that there is a country in the south of the South Valley, named Shah Country. The two countries are separated by high mountains, but they often communicate with each other.

This country of Shah has a vast territory, and it is also near the sea. This foreign devil invaded the country of Shah through the sea, and then took a peek at Nangu. "

"Ok?"

If it weren't for the heaven-defying things like exercises here.

Lin Yi suspected that he had come to a parallel world!

He Jixiang hurriedly said, "What I said is not false, I hope the prince will learn from it!"

He thought Lin Yi didn't believe what he said.

After all, after I interrogated him, I didn't even believe it!
A group of blond and blue-eyed foreign devils traveled thousands of miles to occupy a barren place like Nangu, what are they planning?
"I don't believe this king. The characteristic of colonists is to keep expanding and enclosing land. As long as Nangu is occupied, can Chuanzhou, the southwestern part of our Daliang Kingdom, be far away from them?"

Lin Yi asked back.

"Chuanzhou?"

He Jixiang is naturally no stranger to the word colonizer, after all, this word often appears in some inexplicable novels written by Wang Ye.

What surprised him the most was Chuanzhou that he told the prince!

Said that those foreign devils intend to Chuanzhou!
That is an unforgivable sin!
"Yes, never underestimate the ambitions of the colonists,"

Lin Yi said lightly, "They are very cruel, we have to guard against them."

Even if he was beaten to death, he would never have imagined that he would have a day to fight against the colonial invaders in his new life!
He was both annoyed and excited!

It is so annoying that these invaders are not willing to die obediently.

The excitement is naturally because the legendary Queen of the West is completely possible to really exist?

At that time, the world will spread the seeds, and each generation of kings will have their own blood. Does it count as glory for the country?
He Jixiang said, "I don't know what orders the lord has?"

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "Another 10 taels of silver will be allocated to the Military Weapons Bureau. The long guns and cannons must continue to be developed, keep improving, and don't slack off."

He Jixiang was stunned. He didn't expect to have such a reaction with the prince after talking for so long.

Isn't it time to reorganize armaments and deploy border defenses?

Reluctantly said, "My lord, the old minister thinks"

"No one thinks it's important. Your old thinking can't be used to deal with colonists. To deal with these shameless things, listen to me,"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Ling Shanqi is negotiating with the foreign devils of Asyu Kingdom. Asyu Kingdom has been a subsidiary state of our Daliang Kingdom since ancient times. Our Daliang Kingdom will definitely not admit it. Just one sentence, if you want to fight, you will fight. Wang personally went back to Sanhe and met them for a while."

After hearing this, He Jixiang hesitated and said, "My lord is wise."

Lin Yi continued, "Promote Yuan Zhen to be the admiral of military affairs in Chuanzhou, and he will take up the post immediately."

Yuan Zhen going to Chuanzhou?
He Jixiang was startled.

Chuanzhou is the territory of Jizhao Temple and Chunshan City!

Since the death of King Pingchuan, Chuanzhou has become a place outside the law, and the imperial decree is a dead letter there.

Let Yuan Zhen go alone now?
What is the difference between this and death?
Thinking of Concubine Yuan Gui's cold face, he couldn't help shivering and said, "My lord, think twice!"

Yuan Zhen is the elder brother of Concubine Yuan Gui!

Concubine Yuan Gui would definitely not just watch Yuan Zhen die!
If she doesn't look for the prince and the prince, she will directly find trouble with them, the ministers of the court, and it will be troublesome.

Concubine Yuan Gui is the biological mother of the prince, and she can't beat or scold her, what can they do?
"You don't have to be afraid,"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "The old lady in my family always thought that I was comfortable as a son, and she always gave me difficulties. This time, I have to let him experience the difficulties of being a son.

In this world, life is not easy for anyone. "

"My lord,"

He Jixiang couldn't help smiling wryly, was this intentional to get angry with the empress?

But how innocent are these ministers?
Why involve them?
So he smiled wryly, "I think the empress will understand the prince."

"Be considerate of a ball,"

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "If the fire doesn't burn her eyebrows, she won't be able to tell the priorities. I understand what you mean, so don't persuade me. Let's make an order. Whether or not my uncle wants to go to Chuanzhou depends entirely on my old lady." attitude."

After finishing speaking, he looked proud.

He finally took his old lady into the army!
