Abandoned farmer: take cute baby to farm

Chapter 257 Nepotism
at the same time.

Yunding Town.

Prince's Mansion.

Fu Jiu hurried in with the bamboo tube that had just been taken off the carrier pigeon's feet, and presented it to the Sixth Prince Yu Wenxuan.

Yu Wenxuan unfolded, his face was still cold after watching it, nothing changed.

Passing the note to military advisor Leng Feng, Leng Feng's expression suddenly became unsightly.

According to the news from Yu Wenzhou, Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this year's military expenditure is helpless.

"Floods frequently occurred in Dazhou this year, and the emperor sent people to rescue the disaster. Last month, he announced to all the countries in Kyushu that they would accept the tribute from the princes at the end of the year in advance..."

Leng Feng's brows were full of worry, "The emperor saw the news and told us to prepare ourselves to pay for the military expenses this year. I didn't expect... I didn't expect to come to this step."

Yu Wenxuan pursed his thin lips straight.Did not speak.

If the emperor is so proud, if he is not forced to, he will not expose his shortcomings and let other princes know that Da Zhou is in financial distress and has to rely on tribute to make up for the hole.

Naturally, there is no way out.

"However, the situation in the country is not optimistic. The wealth is controlled by the aristocratic family, and no tax can be collected at all. If the tax is increased for the common people..." Leng Feng shook his head in embarrassment, "It is not easy for the common people..."

Yu Wenxuan said in a deep voice, "We can't increase the tax. Think of a way."

Leng Feng was helpless, what else could he do.

At this moment, a guard reported from outside the conference hall, "My lord, Mr. Li Jian, the Minister of Admonishment of the fifth rank in the capital, is seeking an audience with all your lords."

What is he doing here at this time?
"Please."

The admonishing minister Li Jian and several cronies who usually have a good relationship came from the capital at high speed.

Let's enter the palace of the prince together.

On the surface, the rules of the courtiers are still dignified and upright, but in their hearts they don't know what they are planning.

"My humble minister, Li Jian, has something to say. I heard that the prince was alone in danger, and went deep into the enemy's country. He experienced life and death, and almost died. The minister is terrified. Our country has been established for more than a hundred years, and the founding ancestors won the emperor with great military exploits. Since then, the feudal lord has been passed down from generation to generation. Although there have been several twists and turns, it has continued. Now there is only one line of the royal family left. I hope that my king will spread its branches and leaves and continue to descendants. This matter is related to the great cause of the country, and the ministers dare not neglect it. I am admonishing you, please follow the rites of the ancestors, the emperor's decree allows you to return to Beijing, choose a concubine, and reassure the hearts of the world!"

After the admonishing minister Li Jian finished speaking, several ministers who followed him knelt down together, "Please return to Beijing for the draft!"

The atmosphere in the meeting hall of the Prince's Mansion was completely quiet.

These ministers asked for the draft.

It is estimated that the old emperor Yuwen Zhou wanted to consolidate his regime.

The aristocratic families of the Great Zhou all wanted to establish a nepotism relationship with the royal family, and in the future it would be easy for the family to handle affairs.

Three years ago, even the Tang family, the first family, had this intention.

but……

Yu Wenxuan refused.

He doesn't draft, doesn't accept concubines, doesn't talk about marriage, and if there are admonishers who are too much to force death, he just makes people die.

For a time, Yu Wenxuan, the God of War prince, became famous for his cruelty, spreading far and wide to the mainland of Kyushu.

That's all the fuss.

The emperor and some ministers dared not speak out.

I dare not mention the draft again.

The aristocratic families were unable to establish a marriage relationship with the God of War prince, and instead joined each other in a marriage alliance to empty the prince.

This is also the reason why the emperor wanted Yu Wenxuan to marry.

No royal family can control the entire country on its own.

Yu Wenxuan, no way.

The aristocratic family felt that Yu Wenxuan didn't know good from bad, had no network of connections, and no one regarded Yu Wenxuan as their own.

And the old emperor Yu Wenzhou has been busy looking for the elixir these years.

Government affairs were also neglected.

This has led to the current situation where the great Zhou family is rampant and the royal family is almost being emptied...

The eldest prince Yu Wenhong had a unique vision. Seeing that Yu Wenxuan was not willing to be drafted, he immediately made a decisive decision to welcome the Tang family's daughter into the palace as a side concubine, and immediately took Da Zhou, the first family, into his hands.
