Chapter 667 The Aggrieved Prince Consort ([-])
Xuan Yonghou felt uncomfortable seeing such a young son. Fortunately, he had seen a lot of intrigues and schemes in court, even if he was angry and angry, he would not yell like the second uncle of the Wu family.

"Since they are all planning to stand in line again, He'er, you can understand His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If he ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, don't ask him to be a high-ranking official and rich salary to reward us, but ask him not to eradicate Xuanyonghou's mansion ungratefully."

Xuan Yonghou sat there, tapping his fingers on the table, with a pensive look on his face.

Jin Ke heard his words and smiled, "Father, don't worry, the boy chooses to stand under His Highness the Crown Prince because he naturally thinks that he is talented and kind. We will be rewarded, not perishing."

In order to reassure Marquis Xuan Yong, Jin Ke gave the crown prince an important explanation. Facing her hard-working explanation, the results were gratifying, Marquis Xuan Yong agreed and would work for the prince in the future.

"Then I will mention His Highness the Crown Prince more in front of the Emperor in the future. Of course, I will not let the Crown Prince be suspected by the Emperor."

Hearing what Xuanyonghou said, Jin Ke smiled, but she didn't think it was a good idea, "Father, His Royal Highness is enough to deal with it in the court, and there are many ministers under his command, no matter how bad it is, nothing will happen." The obvious mistake was suspected by the emperor. What the Hou Mansion has to do is to collect money for His Highness the Crown Prince. After His Highness ascends the throne, there will be a lot of money to spend. Only when our Hou Mansion controls the economic lifeline of the entire dynasty can we share the worries and relieve labor for His Highness. .”

Hearing this, Xuan Yonghou and Wu Jingcheng looked at her suspiciously, "Control the economic lifeline of the dynasty? You want us to change careers and become low-profile merchants?"

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have the lowest status. No matter how much money you have, you will be looked down upon among the nobles, let alone those mind readers.

If he didn't know that his son was very talented, Xuan Yonghou would have thought that his son was mad by Princess Mingyang.

Jin Ke knew that they would think so, and that's right, the status of businessmen in this era is quite low, and any official in the capital city may be more respectable than the boss of the imperial businessman.

Having grown up and survived in this environment, it's no wonder they have such a big reaction.

It's just that money can turn ghosts, this saying has worked throughout the ages, no matter how much you look down on businessmen, their money is still coveted.

"Father, my son used to guard the gate of the country abroad. He once heard a wandering monk say that there is a sea far away from our Great Zhou Kingdom. On the other side of the sea, there are many blond-haired and blue-eyed people. They also have their own country. And, They are very rich, and there are many islands in the sea, and the islands also have many resources, if we can obtain those resources, why not share the worries of the future king, and, if we develop the sea area, there may be countless treasures in it."

"Father, the son doesn't want to be a businessman."

Hearing what Jin Ke said, Xuan Yonghou believed it. He had also heard it, but, "You also said, it's the sea, and the sea is vast. With the current capabilities of the Great Zhou Kingdom, it is impossible to build a ship that can What’s more, no one pays attention to this illusory rumor.”

"If it weren't for the rumors? Father, if there are no ships, we will build ships. There are many talented people in the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could there be no capable people in this field? Also, if we can control the entire ocean and have so many islands, the millennium Afterwards, maybe our Xuanyonghou Mansion can become famous!"

No matter what you say, Jin Ke always smiles.

Xuan Yonghou was still a little hesitant, Wu Jingcheng saw him like this, thought in his heart, maybe the second brother is confident and thoughtful, he said, "Yes father, there are many treasures in the sea since ancient times, there are countless pearls and jades in them, if we If you can get those things, you can become the first family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so that you can leave a mark in the history books in the future, so that you will not disappear in the yellow sand of history, leaving nothing behind!"

To be famous is coveted and expected by people in this era.

"That's right, big brother, if nothing else is said, even if we find those treasures in the Xuanyonghou Mansion, the future emperor will look at us highly, and we won't be dismissed casually because of big or small crimes."

The second uncle of the Wu family also actively persuaded.

Xuan Yonghou said, "But we don't have a ship, how can we go to sea to search for treasures? Moreover, such a large project can't be completed in a day, and requires a lot of preparations. What if the emperor finds out?"

Jin Ke breathed a sigh of relief, it was a relief, of course, his worry was not unreasonable, she smiled, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked, with a calming effect, "Father, don't worry, my son is not talented, he has a lot of research on ships , I have already made a blueprint, but there are still some parts that are not perfect, and I will show it to you after my son completes it. As for the emperor, my father doesn't need to worry."

"Oh?"

Regarding Jin Ke's words, Xuan Yonghou expressed his surprise, but not to mention him, even Wu Jingcheng was also surprised. The second uncle of the Wu family just stared at them in confusion.

Xuan Yonghou said, "Continue talking."

Jin Ke smiled and continued, "Father, you are old now, and you can't share the emperor's worries in the court. You can retire and return to your hometown, and let your elder brother inherit your position. And you, you can go to your hometown to build ships, and then let the second uncle Send some loyal veterans to follow you, and when the ship is built, you can send people overseas to hunt for treasure.”

Xuan Yonghou laughed, stroked his beard, looked ruddy, and looked very happy. "What He Er said is very true. Ben Hou is old and should give way to young people."

"Cheng'er, did you hear that, you will be Master Hou in the future, and you have to take responsibility."

Wu Jingcheng hurriedly said, "My son knows."

Jin Ke smiled slightly, "Father, it's not too late, you can resign tomorrow morning, my son thinks, the emperor is sympathetic to you, and will definitely let you return home when you are old."

Marquis Xuanyong smiled, he was sympathetic to him, he was just jealous of him, he himself asked to return to his hometown, which was fulfilled the emperor's wish, but he was also old, and he didn't want to spend his whole life buried in the court, so he had to take off the burden on his shoulders. Heavy duty, take it easy.

……

In the evening, Jin Ke went back to the Princess Mansion, and Princess Mingyang happened to be there too. During dinner, she obviously felt that Princess Mingyang was more enthusiastic than before.

Surprised by his kindness to her, Jin Ke thought to himself, could there be a conspiracy?

Unexpectedly, it really is the case.

No, after eating the dishes served by Princess Mingyang twice, Princess Mingyang put down her chopsticks and glanced at her with a hesitation on her face.

However, this expression really surprised her, but she didn't know what Princess Mingyang wanted to do.

"Does the princess have something to say?"

Jin Ke put down his chopsticks, stared at her, and waited quietly for her to speak.

A strange look flashed across Princess Mingyang's eyes, she smiled, and Jin Ke was even more surprised.
