Chapter 295 Grace Order
Chapter 295 Grace Order
"Sister, you asked my aunt to let me pay attention to the movements of Madam Yiguo. Madam Yiguo has been doing business all over the country. Her whereabouts are erratic and unpredictable, but she often goes to the northern grasslands.
However, when I met with Your Majesty just now, I saw Lady Yiguo in the Zhaozheng Palace, offering rice seeds from the southwest. "
Meng Xinghe pursed his lips.
Rice seeds from the southwest?
Could it be the drought-resistant, early-maturing Champa rice?
But shouldn’t the South have had this thing a long time ago?
"The focus is not on rice, but on the land," said the fourth prince Qin Mingyun.
"My father told us about this when he came to the palace to examine my three brothers a few days ago.
It is said that the caravan of Lady Yiguo went to the southwestern border to do business and found that the land there was very fertile and could produce three crops a year, but the people there were very lazy. God gave the people there fertile land, but they did not cherish it. The people of Dayong are diligent and hardworking, but they suffer from the poor land. "
Meng Xingye nodded.
"Most of the local officials and generals who were allowed to come to Beijing to celebrate your majesty's birthday this time were from the southwest. Now that the northwest and north are stable, your majesty seems to have the idea of sending troops to the southwest."
"Uncle is so perceptive! It seems that the emperor has been planning to attack the southwest for a long time. He even showed us the memorials submitted by the ministers on summarizing and analyzing the military situation in the southwest."
"Your Highness, can you understand?"
"can't read."
Qin Mingyun answered without any hesitation, which made Meng Xingye choke.
"Your Highness will understand when he grows up. His Majesty has high expectations for you."
"Do you want to go to the southwest to earn military merit?" Meng Xinghe asked with a frown.
When she mentioned the location of ancient Annan, her mind was filled with miasma, parasites everywhere, deep forests blocking the sun, and natives hiding in the trees, shooting poisonous arrows.
But with the help of Lu Liniang, a capable fellow villager, these shouldn't be a problem.
There is also a problem concerning his younger brother Meng Xingye himself, which is even more serious.
Now Meng Xingye is the son-in-law of the emperor, and the eldest princess's son-in-law, not even your Majesty's son-in-law. As for Dayong, the Taizu Emperor of Dayong is the son of a princess of the previous dynasty.
Although Emperor Taizu did not usurp the throne, he still had taboos.
She had met those princesses before, and even the sons and grandsons of the eldest princess of Jin were very well-behaved.
"But you are now the eldest princess's consort." Meng Xinghe said hesitantly.
"It seems that it is indeed difficult for you to get news from the outside court while you are in the deep palace, so you don't have to worry about it.
At the beginning of this year, His Majesty built the new Hujing Camp and granted special grace to the husbands and descendants of several princesses, allowing them to join the camp if they wanted to earn military merit. Now the status of a son-in-law is no longer an obstacle.
This is my chance to shine.”
Meng Xinghe was dizzy after hearing just a few words. Her mind was filled with guesses that even she thought were silly.
It’s better not to talk nonsense, otherwise my younger brother and son will look down on my IQ.
No, this is not a question of IQ, it is a question of political sensitivity.
It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t seem to be a big deal, just support it.
Although she seemed to have transmigrated into the wrong book, her brother's ability to bring peace to the world with his pen and to determine the outcome of a war on horseback should not change.
Meng Xinghe glanced at the fourth prince Qin Mingyun, his uncle who would have military merit in the future, and then at his younger brother Meng Xingye.
If her son was lucky enough to become the emperor, then her brother would seem to be doomed.
Forget it, let’s talk about it later.
Anyway, the son you give birth to is more important.
Ming Yun is so smart, he doesn't seem like someone who just wants to be a leisurely king, but he only has this one uncle on his maternal family.
Don't think too much about things that seem unnecessary now.
But speaking of it, what's up with Lu Liniang? How did she become so awesome? She was really tired of talking about her envy.
"Uncle, let me help you talk to the emperor."
