Rebirth of the first courtier

Although the matter of the first prince was suppressed by Emperor Huiming and was not widely publicized in the court, it still caused quite a reaction in the front court and the harem.

The ministers were well-informed, and after knowing this matter, the matter of establishing the crown prince was brought up in the court. Emperor Huiming had never had any health problems before. There was no big fight on the surface, and the ministers couldn't find the right time to raise the matter of establishing a reserve.

Now that the matter of the eldest prince's private raising of soldiers was exposed by the third prince, the ministers all brought up the matter of establishing the crown prince. It just so happened that Emperor Huiming had several health problems recently.To be disrespectful, the ministers are even more worried that if Emperor Huiming dies suddenly one day, the battle for the throne is not just for fun. The battle for the throne in all dynasties has been accompanied by blood and war.

In the harem, the empress, whom she had not seen for a long time, was dressed in a red phoenix suit, knelt in front of Emperor Huiming, and bowed her head in silence.

"Queen, go back, there is no need to discuss this matter." Emperor Huiming waved his hand, his gaze still staying on the memorial on the royal case.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ba actually worked hard in the Northwest. Although it was a bit reckless to propose to open a business route, it was undeniable that it was indeed a road.However, looking at the strong characters on the memorial, I am afraid that Xiao Aiqing's shadow is in this memorial and the opening of business routes.

The queen bit her lip, he only had one child, the eldest emperor, if this child was really hated by the emperor because of this incident, her child would fight for it in a short time.It's all because she is useless, because she doesn't know who instigated Huang'er to do such a thing.

"Your Majesty, although the emperor's temper is impulsive, you also know that he is simple-minded, and concubines don't believe in such things as raising soldiers privately." The queen raised her head and saw that there was no reaction on Emperor Huiming's face, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes. , but it was fleeting, "Your Majesty, the emperor must be instigated by others, please be aware of it."

Emperor Huiming put down the memorial, on which was written the word "Zhun" in red.

"I'm too lazy to guess what he's thinking. I just say that he hides so many soldiers and horses in private. Even if he wants to rebel, there is nothing wrong with it." Emperor Huiming thought of the time when the third prince knelt in front of him and talked about the eldest prince. The anger that surged up, although he didn't like him very much because of the eldest prince's temper, was the first prince he had grown up successfully, and he also paid attention to him, but what his eldest prince gave back to him was privately Things like raising soldiers.

The queen's body softened, and she straightened her back quickly, "Your Majesty, but the emperor is our only child, please forgive him for the sake of concubines who have been in charge of the harem for many years."

His Majesty sighed, and signaled the little eunuch beside him to help the Queen up, "Queen, I just entrusted him out, I didn't demote him and even gave him a large fief, it was already for your sake."

The queen closed her eyes and saluted again, "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness."

"Empress, you are tired too, go back." Emperor Huiming waved his hand, and continued to look down at the memorial on the royal case. It was not until the queen walked out that Emperor Huiming looked up at the queen's back and remained silent for a long time.

The imperial decree to assign the fiefdom to the eldest prince came down soon, and the eldest prince was granted the title of King Ning, and the fiefdom was in a wealthy land near the sea.With a decree, the ministers understood that although His Majesty was angry with the Eldest Prince this time, he did not really dislike the Eldest Prince, and it is uncertain what will happen in the future.

Xiao Qi'ao and his party, who were far away in Yong'an City in the northwest, were completely free from the influence of the imperial court. After the reported memorial was approved, Xiao Qi'ao helped Qin Yuyi to start busy with opening up business routes.The Yingxian tribe in the north has a kind of ore that Dayu does not have. The weapons forged from this kind of ore are extraordinarily sharp. A few years later, Yingxian has the strength to annex several tribes that are not smaller than Yingxian.

After Qin Yuyi knew about this kind of ore from Xiao Qi'ao, she became more active in preparing for the caravan, and even wanted to go along with her, but was stopped by Xiao Qi'ao in the end.Yingxian's current situation is unclear, and we will wait until the vanguard finds out Yingxian's situation.

Qin Yuyi could only stay in Yong'an City, but he couldn't stay idle. Apart from practicing martial arts and studying every day, he even went to a few cities near Yong'an City. He discovered many problems and learned to solve them. Many problems have grown up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Most of the time Xiao Qi'ao would not interfere in Qin Yuyi's affairs, unless Qin Yuyi had some problems that he couldn't solve, otherwise he would watch Qin Yuyi solve them by himself.When he was free, he would take Hu Li to hunt. Both of them are very skilled now, and they can bring back prey every day.

Life in the northwest is not as comfortable as in the imperial city, but everyone lives very easily, there are not so many depressing things in the imperial city, and there are not so many things to calculate.Even if the people here have any small thoughts, most of them are to survive with a full stomach, and there is no comparison with the intrigue for power in the imperial city.

After more than ten days, the people who went to Yingxian came back.When they left, they took Dayu's silk and grain with them, and when they came back, they brought back a cart full of Yingxian's special products and a cart of stones.

Xiao Qi'ao looked at the rocks on the car, nodded, "That's right, it's this kind, where did you find it?"

The person who came back nodded excitedly, "As for His Highness and Your Excellency, the stone is in a mountain depression where they think there are few prey, so they almost don't go there. The subordinates have already told the patriarch of the Yingxian tribe, If you want to build a residence with them, the place is chosen in that mountain depression."

"Don't they have any doubts?" Qin Yuyi frowned. A group of outsiders suddenly wanted to build a residence next to their own tribe, so how could they agree so easily.

The person who came back shook his head, "Don't worry, Your Highness, they have no doubts. It should be said that they think the place chosen by the subordinates is good. After all, there are few prey there, and it is safe for ordinary people to live in."

"That's true." Qin Yuyi nodded, "Take this thing to the forging room that was built before, and see what kind of sharp weapon he can make?"

"Yes, Your Highness." The group was extremely excited because they had found what they were looking for, and they were also looking forward to the weapons they were about to forge.

Qin Yuyi was naturally curious about the sharp weapon that Xiao Qiao said could be forged, so he went to the forging room together.

Hu Li took one of the ores, squeezed it, and whispered to Xiao Qi'ao, "There is a trace of aura in this ore, no wonder it can be used to forge sharp weapons."

"Huh?" Although Xiao Qi'ao had already started to cultivate, he was still not as familiar and sensitive to the spiritual energy as Hu Li. When he heard what Hu Li said, he took it and tried it, and it really contained a trace of spiritual energy.

"This spiritual energy is too violent to absorb, so it can only be used to forge weapons." Hu Li said regretfully, "The spiritual energy in this world is thin, and it is even more difficult to find a spiritual vein. The best spirit vein I found."

Xiao Qi'ao led Hu Li out of the house. People came and went on the street. After this period of time, the people's shadow of the previous war has gradually dissipated. The street has become lively, and it is no longer as deserted as before. .

"Xiao Li, wait for me for a few years, after everything is done, I will go with you to travel around the world, and I will always find a good spiritual vein." Xiao Qi'ao pinched Hu Li's palm and looked Seeing him relying on looking at himself, he said with a warm smile, "There are many countries on the other side of the sea. Their customs are completely different from Dayu's. We will take a look at those places then."

"Really?" Hu Li raised his head slightly, "I heard from my grandpa that there are many things that are rare for people overseas, but grandpa said that I am not good enough, and never let me cross the sea to see."

"Well, really." Xiao Qi'ao nodded, he also wanted to see how big this world really is, and how much Dayu took up.

The craftsmen in the forging room are craftsmen with many years of experience. Although this new ore is much more difficult to mine than ordinary iron ore, the blades forged are indeed sharper than ordinary iron ore.

On the day when the first knife was forged, Xiao Qi'ao took Hu Li and Qin Yuyi to the forging room, and the craftsmen inside were also very happy.At the beginning, it took a lot of effort to melt the ore alone, and the temperature was almost twice as high as that of ordinary furnaces.After several modifications, they created a furnace that could withstand and maintain such a high temperature stably, and only then did they have today's big knife.

Ever since Qin Yuyi practiced the art of body forging, he became more excited about all kinds of weapons. He picked up the knife on the spot and swung a set of knife skills. The sharp blade cut off the corners of the tables, chairs and benches in the forging room .

"Hahaha, yes, it's a good thing!" Qin Yuyi laughed loudly, stroked the rough blade, looked at Xiao Qi'ao and said excitedly, "Old...Xiao Yuanwailang, if this thing is dedicated to Father, Royal father must be very happy."

"This is the blessing of Dayu, I just tried my best." Xiao Qi'ao shook his head, pointed to those craftsmen, and said, "Besides, the things are made by the craftsmen, not to mention the knife, they remodeled it The furnace is a big credit."

The craftsmen panicked and waved their hands again and again. The honest men blushed, "Don't say that, my lord. If we didn't have this ore, we wouldn't think about improving the furnace and raising the temperature."

Qin Yuyi's eyes were smiling. He was already a lot taller than when he came to the northwest for two months. He looked like a trustworthy prince, not a prince who came to rely on his royal status.

"Everyone needn't say anything, everyone deserves credit for this. When His Royal Highness reports this matter to the heavens, everyone can wait to receive the reward." Qin Yuyi put the sword aside, turned and said to the people present.

Because the ore really needed to be used, Qin Yuyi's memorial made Emperor Huiming smile again, and his body, which had been feeling uncomfortable for the past few days, became much lighter.

"Okay, it really made him famous."

Several adults who were discussing matters in the imperial study room were all curious when they saw the urgently sent memorial from the Northwest. Prime Minister Zhou stroked his beard and asked respectfully: "May I ask what made Your Majesty so eager?" Dayue, can you let all the ministers listen to it?"

Prime Minister Zhou is the elder brother of the Empress. Although he has been implicated in the matter of the eldest prince, he is still the prime minister, and His Majesty has no intention of changing him.

"It's okay to let you all know," Emperor Huiming picked up the memorial and asked the little eunuch to pass it on to several adults one by one, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, he is interested in dancing spears and sticks, you brat."

After reading the memorial, several adults had thoughts in their hearts.However, in just two months, the eighth prince actually got new ore from Yingxian. If the weapon is really as sharp as the memorial said, it will be a new level for Dayu's military strength!

Several adults knelt down at the same time and shouted: "This is the blessing of the country, the blessing of your majesty!"

"Okay, okay, I don't know whether what he said is true or not!" Emperor Huiming smiled and waved his hands, asking all the adults to stand up.

Although Emperor Huiming said so, the adults knew in their hearts that the Eighth Prince would no longer be the little prince with no sense of existence!
