Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 790 Children (31) Refusing to Receive the Order

Late autumn in the Northland has the taste of early winter, and the bleak north wind blows, making people shrink their necks suddenly.

In the inner hall of the palace, Chu Yinjing looked at the memorial with serious eyes.

Compared with Wu country, Beidi country is indeed too barren. The land in the north does not produce food and is mainly animal husbandry.The other half of the plains suitable for farming, due to the climate, the grain output of the same land can only reach half of the southern part of Dayu Country.

If one lives solely on the output of one's own field, one can only manage half of one's full food, and one has to exchange grain from the grazing sheep, horses, cattle, etc.

Over the years, he organized the reclamation of wasteland and the construction of water canals, which increased the country's grain output by [-]%. With the contribution of the Wu Kingdom, the dependence on the Dayu Kingdom has been weakened year by year.

His goal is very ambitious, to build the Northland country into a country as rich as the Dayu country.

In his mind, although the two countries have ceased fighting, the hatred between the Chu family and the Dongfang family still lingers in his heart, and every time he thinks about it, his heart will still be ablaze.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has entered the city." The confidant eunuch Guang Cheng came to report.

Chu Yinjing raised his head thoughtfully, "Did Youer really participate in the destruction of Tiger Village in Dayu Kingdom?"

Guangcheng nodded, "The inner guard has definite news that His Royal Highness did participate."

Chu Yinjing pursed his lips, his eyes darkened, "Tell him to enter the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Guangcheng retreated.

……

Chu Shaoyou's Prince's Mansion is not far from the palace, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to walk.Guangcheng didn't let anyone else take the lead, so he went over to invite him.

Coincidentally, we met in front of the Prince's Mansion.

With a smile on his face, Guangcheng saluted respectfully, "His Royal Highness, the emperor has invited you into the palace."

Chu Shaoyou raised his eyebrows, and got off his horse with dignity, "Eunuch Guangcheng, the road is quite windy and sandy, can you let me go in and change my clothes, wash up before entering the palace."

This request is very reasonable, and Guangcheng will naturally not block it.

Smilingly, "The emperor is in a hurry, please His Highness the crown prince as soon as possible."

Chu Shaoyou nodded, "Up to two quarters of an hour."

Guangcheng saluted again, "That old slave went back to report like this."

Chu Shaoyou gave a short "huh" and started to walk towards the Prince's Mansion.

Liu Xing, the steward of the mansion, followed respectfully and reported, "His Royal Highness, when you are not at the mansion, everything is fine. Two days ago, the queen mother heard that you were going back to the mansion, so she sent someone to send you two A court lady came over, yesterday, the Empress also sent two court ladies over, and my subordinates placed them in the Qinfang Courtyard in the backyard."

Chu Shaoyou frowned slightly, and said softly, "You think of a name and dismiss them."

"Ah?" Liu Xing opened his mouth slightly, looking a little confused, "The people sent by the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager, how can the subordinates..."

Chu Shaoyou was impatient and cast a cold glance at him, "It will be dealt with within an hour."

Cold sweat broke out on Liu Xing's forehead, and he murmured, "Can the lord say that His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like these girls?"

Chu Shaoyou didn't care, "You can figure it out, and each will send 1000 taels of silver."

"Yes." Liu Xing raised his sleeves and wiped his sweat lightly.

……

Very punctual, two quarters of an hour later, Chu Shaoyou stood in front of Chu Yinjing.

With serious eyes, he saluted earnestly, "My son pays respects to Father Emperor."

Chu Yinjing was still reading the memorial, and glanced at him lightly, "You have traveled far this time, but you have something special to tell me."

"Of course there are." Chu Shaoyou knew that his father had good ears and eyes, and had already found out about the Tiger Village.He didn't hide anything, he explained everything in detail, one, two, three, four, five, and everything.

Chu Yinjing's face was expressionless, and he listened carefully.

Probably the content is already known, just listen to some details.

After a long time, he said in a low voice, "Have you thought about the consequences of meddling in the state affairs of Nandi and Dayu?"

Chu Yinjing raised his eyes as if nothing had happened, "My son goes out to wander the rivers and lakes. When the road is uneven, he will naturally use his sword to help him. Only in this way can he have a good time."

Chu Yinjing looked stern, but he was actually a super dote on his son, otherwise he wouldn't have let him wander around.

He narrowed his eyes shallowly, and said in a dignified voice, "You have a special status, and if something like this happens again, you are absolutely not allowed to intervene."

Chu Shaoyou smiled complacently, and saluted again, "I know."

This matter can be regarded as an explanation.

After a moment's pause, the corners of Chu Yinjing's lips curled into a smile.

"You'er, I have promised you that before the age of 20, I will let you travel around the world and increase your knowledge. However, you have been away for a long time this time, and the empress misses you very much. She often whispers in my ear that you don't want you to travel. I'm in a dilemma, can you stay in Hucheng for the next six months, accompany your mother, and take care of the Crown Princess' business by the way."

For these remarks, Chu Shaoyou was mentally prepared.

After thinking about it for a while, he said unhurriedly, "Half a year is too long, three months at the most. As for the matter of the crown prince, the emperor also promised to let the minister choose by himself. It is related to the life of the minister. Happiness, my son intends to do more research, and there is still time to get engaged at the age of 20."

He has always had his own opinions, and once he speaks, it is the result of careful consideration.In most cases, Chu Yinjing would agree.

However, Chu Yinjing was a little hesitant about what he said this time.

After pondering, he said slowly, "The position of the crown prince is of great importance. If you want to be cautious, you can do it. But you are away all the time, and there must be someone to take care of the backyard of the prince's mansion. You can set up one or two concubines first. Minister of the Household Department My first daughter is gentle and graceful, with a dignified appearance, especially good at housekeeping, she was chosen as the No. 1 side concubine."

Chu Shaoyou frowned slightly, looking confused.

"Father, my son has a steward who is proficient in finance to manage the financial affairs of the Crown Prince's mansion. Everything is in order. I somehow got a concubine to manage the accounts. In two years, I almost just understood Guan Shun. The house is gone, and the whole set of accounts has to be changed hands. Women have more minds, and adding troubles for nothing, I think it is unnecessary."

His refusal was so reasonable that Chu Yinjing couldn't speak for a moment.However, the Ministry of Households is equivalent to the Ministry of Finance, and the status of the Northland Kingdom is too important at present, and must be held in the hands of the emperor. Marriage is the best way.

Chu Yinjing frowned, "You can also ignore the account and bring it into the mansion."

Chu Shaoyou smiled faintly, "Father, the crown princess is much more important than the side concubine, and I don't want the crown princess to be unhappy before entering the house."

Chu Yinjing's complexion was flat, but there was a trace of doubt in the peak of his eyebrows.

I always feel that something is wrong, and the tone is slightly heavy.

"In the next ten years, the national policy of Beidi Kingdom will still be to develop production, and the household department will be the most important department. However, the current Beidi government is controlled by the two factions of Weibei Chu family and Wuguo Chu family. If you are in a neutral state, you have to pull him into your camp. Later, I will issue a decree to let the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department enter the Prince's Mansion as a side concubine."

Chu Shaoyou's eyes lit up, and he said decisively, "Father, my son will refuse to accept the order."

The majesty of the emperor was challenged, Chu Yinjing's complexion sank instantly, a cold breath rose, and the hall suddenly became tense.

　Liuliu: Your Royal Highness, Yu'er has put you down.Just follow your father.

　　Chu Shaoyou: You write it and let it go?I haven't agreed yet!
