Three years after Jiayou, the 23-year-old Princess Fukang finally got married.

This wedding is very grand.

Before getting married, Princess Fukang was also canonized as Princess Yan.Princess Fukang was also the first princess in the Song Dynasty to have a canonization ceremony.

His princess mansion was designed and supervised by the prince himself.

Anyone who has been to Qionghuayuan knows that the prince is definitely the master in designing the house.Originally thought that the only one in this world who could let the prince take action was the current His Majesty.Who would have thought that the relationship between Princess Yan and the crown prince would be so good.

For a while, I was envious and jealous of the Cao family, although the country stipulated that concubines were not allowed to participate in government affairs.But it only stipulated that the son-in-law was alone, and it did not say that the entire Cao family could not participate in the government.

Of course, there are also many ladies in the capital who are full of sympathy for Cao Ping.He felt that he had no choice but to choose Princess Shang.

But no matter what, it is already a fact that Princess Yan has descended to the Cao family.

The daughter's marriage finally came to fruition, and Zhao Zhen also let go of a major event in his heart.

When seeing their young couple entering the palace to pay their respects, Zhao Zhen felt more at ease when he saw how intimate they were with each other, and felt that this marriage was indeed the right choice.

The daughter's marriage has been settled, Zhao Zhen wonders if his son's marriage can also be put on the agenda.In the past few years, he has been able to clearly feel his own aging.The son is now about the same age as he was when he inherited the throne.

But he didn't want to let his son go through what he had experienced at all.So in the past few years, he has handed over most of the government affairs to his son.In order to ensure that when he dies suddenly in the future, his son can completely control the court, without the need for another empress dowager to listen to politics behind the curtain.

There are also marriages, the orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and when he was alive, he chose a daughter-in-law for his son that he liked.Don't be like him, who is not the person he wants to choose after the two standings.

With this in mind, Zhao Zhen began to pick suitable candidates.He decided to send someone to inquire about the temperament of these little ladies.You must not choose a princess who is the same as Guo.

Zhao Sheng didn't know that his father was already looking for a suitable candidate for the crown prince.

Because of his father's decentralization, Zhao Sheng is very busy now.Although he was also an emperor, after all, the situation faced by different dynasties is even more different.

In the Qing Dynasty, what he took over from his father was a peaceful and powerful empire with a rich treasury.No matter the officials in the court or the clan, they have all been tamed and docile by his father.

Even if there is some instability in the frontier, it is only a small problem.

Unlike now, the national treasury of Da Song is now empty.The internal redundancy of officials and troops is getting worse and worse.Externally, there are Xixia and Liao kingdoms watching.If you are not careful, you may face the tragedy of national ruin and family destruction.

Even if Zhao Sheng wants to reform, he must be careful.

According to his thinking, the first thing he has to do is to seize a certain amount of military power. After having enough military power, at least he has enough deterrent power against him.At that time, reform will be more confident.

It's just that the military power is not something the prince can move.So all his actions need to wait for his real superiority.

When he was a prince, there was not much he could do.

Just like today's Taige, Fu Bi, and Han Qi are all reformers of the Qingli New Deal.But now their ruling philosophy has tended to be conservative.They have implemented the land equalization system, and they have selected a few pilot sites and they have done well, but they encountered obstacles when they wanted to promote it nationwide.

Several people flinched immediately.

Zhao Sheng wanted to do something, but he didn't have the right to appoint and remove courtiers, so it was hard to say anything.Several prime ministers would not listen to him.

In the end, Zhao Sheng didn't bother to talk anymore, he knew that what he had to do now was to wait.But he didn't do nothing, he knew that if he wanted an army of his own in the future, the first thing he needed was money.

There is a lot of wealth in his space, but he can't take it out at will, so he needs to earn money.

Fortunately, he is very experienced in business.

Bianjing City, as the capital of the Song Dynasty, had a prosperous economy, and people's consumption level was definitely not low.There are many Zhuangzi under Zhao Sheng's name, and with the formula he provided, many new things appeared in a shop called Baibao Pavilion.

The Baibao Pavilion is divided into upper and lower floors. The items on the first floor are relatively cheap, such as soap, small packets of sugar, salt, oil in small bottles, etc., which are often used by ordinary people in their homes.Most of the people who can buy are ordinary people in Bianliang City. Of course, in addition to retail, there are also wholesale.Many businessmen from other places will order from Baibao Pavilion when they see these practical things.

Basically, they are in short supply.

Everything on the upper floor of Baibao Pavilion is not cheap.

Hundred mirrors, various spices, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, various colorful fabrics and so on.Everything is of great value, but once it was released, it was sought after by the upper-class women in the capital.

And Princess Yan, who was the first to get new products every time, became the envy of all the female relatives in the capital.At the same time, she has also become the vane of the rich and powerful women in the capital.

"Fourth brother, don't send me any money." Xining felt that she was guilty of holding this money.

"Big sister gave me the promotion of my store, this is what big sister deserves." Even in modern times, endorsement fees are still required.

"It's really strange that I want your money with all your things for nothing."

"Then elder sister, take this money as your younger brother's pocket money. In the past, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent my sister all the expenses in the palace, but now you have to buy them yourself. The cost must be a lot more."

"It's not like what you said. Daddy often rewards me with things, and I don't lack anything. But you, how did you think of doing business to make money? If those censors find out, I'm afraid you will be accused again It's gone." Xining was a little worried, she was a princess who was recruited several times because her father loved her too much.

As the prince's younger brother, there are probably even more people staring at him.

"It's nothing, just treat it as a group of flies buzzing in my ears that can't be chased away." Zhao Sheng said indifferently.

He has now practiced a great filtering method, directly filtering out the unnutritious chatter of the courtiers.

"You, if daddy or a few other gentlemen know this, I'm afraid your ears will never be clean again." Xining didn't have a good impression of those admonishers, she still remembered that they used to make daddy angry Enough.

"Daddy is daddy, and I am me, big sister. Many times it's not that I don't want to be kind, but I can't." He also wants to be a prosperous king.If the country is strong, he only needs to be a conservative monarch.

But God didn't give him such an opportunity. If he didn't do anything, his son and grandson might become kings of subjugation.

Think about Song Weizong and Song Qinzong who were taken captive by the Jin people. They both deserved it, but how innocent the other royal family members were, why should they suffer such humiliation.

Xining didn't understand the affairs of the previous dynasty, but she knew that her younger brother was a very capable person.So she supports him no matter what.

"Fourth brother, I don't know what you are anxious about, but I believe you will be a wise king. But you are still young now, so don't be too tired."

"Big sister, don't worry, I know it well." Zhao Sheng said with a smile.

In Jiayou's six years, Zhao Sheng has basically taken over all the government affairs of Zhao Zhen.Except for the five-day court meeting, Zhao Zhen rarely intervened in the court affairs.

Now Zhao Zhen lives in Qionghuayuan most of the time.Those who lived with him were some young ladies, the empress, concubine Miao Xian, these older ones, all lived in the original place.

In the words of Concubine Miao Xian, they are all at this age, there is no need to fight for favor, and now it is much more convenient to follow the saint than the official family.

Zhao Sheng was not too worried about the separation of his biological father and biological mother, after all, he was used to it.

Empress Cao thinks it's good to separate like this, at least she doesn't need to worry about what happened to Yingyingyanyan.Facing the son who came to comfort him, Empress Cao was in an even better mood.

"Your father's sitting on the throne has been a little more relaxed in the past few years." Because of having a capable son, the official family can be said to have taken care of them in the past few years.

"However, you still need to ask the officials more about matters in the court. Madam knows that you are a child with a plan in mind, but Madam is also here to warn you, don't worry, everything will be discussed after the dust settles, you are still young Time." Empress Cao is an extremely intelligent woman, and she also understands what her son thinks.

"Ma'am, I will."

Empress Cao was very relieved that she was not favored by her husband in this life. Although it was a pity, she had no regrets to have such an outstanding son.

Without Zhao Zhen in the harem, everyone has been sisters for many years, and Empress Cao and the concubines lived extremely comfortably.A group of people arranged flowers and chatted together, and played mahjong cards from the East Palace.Every day is very leisurely.

Concubine Miao Xian has always had a good relationship with the queen, after all, only she and the queen have children in the harem.Xining's upbringing of the queen also made great efforts.

When the prince was young, the empress was busy with the affairs of the harem, and Concubine Miao Xian also raised the prince for a long time.The relationship between the two can be said to be no worse than sisters.

"Your Majesty, we are living a very good life now, quiet and comfortable." Concubine Miao Xian waved a round fan in her hand, her tone was gentle.

"It will get better and better. When Xining gives birth to a child and brings her grandchildren into the palace, you will be more fulfilled."

"Excuse me." Thinking of her daughter being pregnant now, Concubine Miao Xian only hoped that it would be a boy.It's not that she favors sons over daughters, it's that Xining is not too young, and she gave birth to a boy early, so there will be no pressure to have children in the future.

"Ma'am, Zheng Daban from the official family is here."

"But the official has something to do, let him in."

"Congratulations, Mrs. Congratulations. Mrs. Dong, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhou have all been diagnosed with a happy pulse!"
