dream of red mansion

Chapter 725
"Hee hee, Your Majesty has really read this letter, and nothing is more gratifying than this humble minister.

Not much else to say, in order to let His Majesty know how happy I am, I first kowtowed to His Majesty to prove it.

My minister Jia Qing, I pay my respects to Your Majesty, I wish His Majesty good fortune like the East China Sea, longevity compared to Nanshan Mountain, dragon-horse spirit, joyful, happy spring breeze, always smiling
"

Emperor Zhengqing seemed to have a flock of crows flying over his head.

After living for more than fifty years, this was the first time he received such a wonderful letter.

Glancing at Yuan Chun, she saw that she was still sitting upright on the edge of the kang, with her hands folded on her lap.Seeing him looking over, he returned a soft smile.

Emperor Zhengqing knew that Yuanchun absolutely did not know the content of the letter.Otherwise, he didn't feel that Yuan Chun dared to hand him such a letter that was almost suspected of "teasing" him.

this hozen
Emperor Zhengqing cursed secretly.But for some reason, there was no trace of anger in his heart, but he concentrated on reading every single word.

"Haha, Your Majesty knows how happy I am, right? Now that Your Majesty knows, I can't just care about I'm happy alone. Now let's talk about something that makes Your Majesty happy.

That's right, Weichen started doing one thing a long time ago.Speaking of this, His Majesty may have already guessed it, yes, that is to stock up on food!
Why stock up on food?To explain this problem, there may be more nonsense to talk about. I can't guarantee that His Majesty's patience is so good, so I won't talk about it here, and I will explain it to Your Majesty slowly later.

In short, Weichen spent all his family property, and added all kinds of unscrupulous means of finding friends to cooperate, stealing his sister's dowry money, asking his fiancée for help, and even cheating and abducting, etc., he finally hoarded some food.

How many are there? Let the minister count for His Majesty.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, I can't count them even for a while.Anyway, 100 million stones are available anyway.”

Emperor Zhengqing's heart was shocked!
He was really displeased at first, and felt that Jia Qing talked too much nonsense, and he was a little bit teasing him.

He looked carefully, and it was indeed "100 million stones" written on it.He was right.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Yuan Chun had been sitting opposite Emperor Zhengqing, and when he noticed that his expression was different, he asked.

"I'm fine." Emperor Zhengqing didn't care about her at all for a while, and continued to look down.

"Hey, I'm suffering too, originally I was just saving up some food for wine making in the wineries of Weichen, who knew I accidentally saved too much.

I figured it out, even if those wineries of Chen have been operating non-stop for three years, they can only consume a fraction at most.

With so much food thrown into the hands of the Weichen, the Weichen really didn't know what to do.

If your majesty just needs it, why don't you share it with me?
How can you say that Your Majesty is also the brother-in-law of this humble minister, so you must be willing to help with this little favor, right?

Well, Your Majesty, how much do you want to share?How about this, Your Majesty, you are the supreme in the world. If the so-called capable work harder, you will suffer a little bit and help the humble minister to share the burden. Yes, how about the 100 million stone?
What, Your Majesty, are you actually worried that this humble official will take you off?
How is it possible, how could this humble minister have such a rebellious idea. "

"Hmph, I'm sorry you don't dare!" Emperor Zhengqing couldn't help humming in his heart.If he didn't know Jia Qing's purpose after seeing this, he would not be Emperor Zhengqing.

It's really brave to dare to associate with me.

Emperor Zhengqing suddenly raised his head and looked at the gentle and dignified Yuanchun, and felt that it would be nice to have such a brother-in-law who was like timely rain. At least with the 100 million shi of grain in hand, the current difficulties of the court would be solved.

He didn't worry about whether Jia Qing had so much food in his hands, unless Jia Qing didn't want to live anymore.

Emperor Zhengqing, who was in a happy mood, casually glanced at the following content:
"Well, Your Majesty, you can pay this official the price of grain in Guanzhong now, so don't hit me, don't hit me!
Zizi, Your Majesty is really ruthless, it hurts me to death.But yes, the state treasury is definitely not rich now, after all, there are so many places to spend money, I really shouldn't want to earn His Majesty's money at this time.

How about this, these ministers don't want His Majesty's money, but they want to ask His Majesty to help them with a small favor.

Don't get me wrong, Your Majesty, this is not an exchange of terms, but just a small request from my minister.Whether His Majesty agrees or not depends entirely on His Majesty's mood. Anyway, I think this matter is a small matter for Your Majesty.
It's like this, Wei Chen is fond of a girl and wants to marry her.

But before his father died, he made a marriage contract for the minister. The minister did not dare to violate his father's last wish, but he could not bear to disappoint the beautiful woman.

After all kinds of thinking, only Your Majesty can help this humble minister.

Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty to reward me with a kindness, to bestow upon the woman I like the most, the gift of being equal to a wife in ancient times.
Is this easy for His Majesty?
By the way, the woman that Weichen likes is Lin Daiyu, the beloved daughter of Lord Lin Ruhai, Minister of the Household Department. "

Emperor Zhengqing looked at it quickly, and suddenly glanced at the words Lin Ruhai, and felt that something was wrong.It suddenly occurred to him, isn't Lin Ruhai Jia Qing's adoptive father?
Then he asked me to marry him, isn't it his righteous sister?
"This bastard!"

"Why is the emperor angry, but because the second brother of the concubine said something that should not be said, which angered the emperor?"

Emperor Zhengqing scolded: "This bastard, please ask me to give him a marriage. The other woman is Lin Ruhai's daughter!"

Lin Ruhai's daughter?Yuan Chun seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then smiled and said, "I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be so. From my perspective, Your Majesty seems to be worrying too much.

Master Lin and the second brother of the concubine were originally just cousins ​​and nephews. Although Master Lin later recognized the second brother of the concubine as his adopted son, it was only because he valued him.

Since ancient times, in such a relationship, it is common for elders to hire their beloved daughters.

However, the concubine felt that if the emperor really wanted to fulfill him, it would be better to ask Mr. Lin before making a decision, so as not to hurt Mr. Lin's face. "

Emperor Zhengqing nodded.In fact, this is where he really hesitated.

As Jia Qing said, to him, this matter was nothing more than a trivial matter.

If it were the woman next to her, he would agree without even frowning.

After all, Jia Qing paid such a high price just to give his favorite woman a title and spread the word, which can be described as a good talk.

What's more, it is said that a gentleman has the beauty of an adult.

If he agreed to Jia Qing's request, he would naturally become an indispensable part of this beautiful talk.

After all the calculations, he didn't lose a single point.

And Jia Qing really helped him solve the big problem right now. 100 million shi of grain, if you say it is taken out, it will be taken out, counting the work of the courtiers, who else can do it except Jia Qing?

If he is not even willing to give such a little benefit, it seems that there is no way to justify it.

But what if Lin Ruhai is unwilling?But he knew that Lin Ruhai had no son, only a loving daughter
The most important thing is that Emperor Zhengqing also knew that if he told Lin Ruhai, with Lin Ruhai's loyalty, he would definitely agree.

But Emperor Zhengqing couldn't bear it.

Ping wife sounds nice to say, but she is not a regular wife after all.There has never been a precedent for equal wives in this dynasty.

Emperor Zhengqing felt slightly embarrassed.On the one hand, Jia Qing, who has made great achievements for the imperial court, can never be rewarded too much;
Seeing this, Yuan Chun said: "Since the emperor finds it difficult, then it's okay to refuse. With the second brother of my concubine, it's good for my concubine to go and talk. I think he should also understand the difficulties of the emperor."

"Let me think about this matter again, but this time, Jia Qing has indeed made a great contribution. Concubine, your family has really produced a good man! Do you know, this kid doesn't know how to do it, and he is silent Silently hoarded 100 million shi of grain.

Do you know how much 100 million shi of grain is?It is enough for the court to accommodate all the victims who flocked to the capital this time, and it is more than enough.

Most importantly, he is willing to donate all the food to the imperial court!

Being so loyal to the monarch and the country really lives up to the training I have given him over the years. "

Emperor Zhengqing probably felt a little embarrassed that he did not agree to Jia Qing's request, so he praised him without hesitation.

Yuan Chun didn't seem to care about these government affairs at all, he just smiled and said: "This is because the emperor has trained him well in the past, so he can understand things so well. Knowing that the affairs of the court are the most important things in the world, since he is capable, he should naturally spare no effort help the court to tide over the difficulties."

Facing such a virtuous and peaceful Yuanchun, the excitement that Emperor Zhengqing couldn't suppress just now disappeared.Then he realized that the state of mind just now was not right.

As an emperor, he should not fully reveal his emotions in front of others.

The most embarrassing thing is that Yuan Chun can always maintain a virtuous and dignified demeanor when he praises her brother so much.No favors, no favors.

Really rare.

"Why does Your Majesty look at your concubine like this?" Yuan Chun was shy after being looked at, and slightly lowered his head.

Emperor Zhengqing suddenly said: "Have you ever thought about being my empress?"

Yuan Chun's shock was no small matter.
