"So before she died, she appointed the current emperor, who was born to the queen, as the crown prince."

"I also don't want that beloved prince to be purged by the crown prince after he ascends to the throne, so the late emperor conferred the throne on him and also gave him a fiefdom close to the border."

"Before he died, he had the prince sent to his fiefdom as a form of protection."

He paused and said, "That prince has never been convinced and always feels that he should be the heir to the throne."

"He is very ambitious and has been planning to usurp the throne."

"After the death of the previous emperor, he did not go to the capital to mourn, but instead led his own troops in his fiefdom and showed no respect to the emperor."

Shi Qingluo smacked his lips, "It seems that Daliang is facing internal and external troubles now!"

Although the people have settled down temporarily, most of them are still living on the poverty line due to the war.

It is easy to be instigated and exploited.

The enemy country next door is eyeing us covetously, and there is a prince in the country who has his own army and is ready to rebel at any time.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Yes, internal and external troubles."

"However, the current emperor is a diligent emperor who has ambition and ability, and is very good at forbearance."

In his previous life, he voluntarily offered himself to be the emperor's sword, so he knew a lot of things that most court officials did not know.

At the same time, he studied the emperor more carefully and had a basic understanding of his temperament and style of doing things.

Shi Qingluo asked curiously: "Did the emperor destroy that prince and take back his fiefdom?"

Xiao Hanzheng smiled bitterly, "Five years later, the prince of the fiefdom directly raised his own army and proclaimed himself emperor in the fiefdom. He rebelled."

"The court was fully prepared, but the fighting resulted in heavy casualties, lasted for several years, and caused some unrest."

"Give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage and attack proactively."

"Daliang lost two cities in succession, and the people in the cities were massacred."

"And it was Tao Liu who caused it."

Xiao Hanzheng knew that his young wife had guessed that he was reincarnated, so he did not hide it.

Tell her whatever she wants to know.

Shi Qingluo was very surprised, "Ah, what does this have to do with Taoliu?"

Xiao Hanzheng then told the story of how that woman gave peach and willow to his father's opponent and forced the general to drink, causing him to miss the opportunity to fight, which led to this result.

Shi Qingluo frowned, "That woman is really not a good person. For her own selfish desires, she even disregarded the country."

Xiao Hanzheng said: "Yes, after the general was beheaded, my scumbag father made some arrangements in private, and the emperor was ready to let him go to war."

Shi Qingluo asked, "Did that scumbag father win?"

Xiao Hanzheng shook his head. "No, before His Majesty issued the decree, he, that woman, and the troublemakers of the Xiao family were all dead."

At that time, his health was already failing, and it was impossible for him to travel across mountains and rivers to the border to kill his scumbag father.

So before he died, he took care of all his enemies, including his scumbag father.

However, he did not feel guilty towards the court. Some of the information he had found out at the beginning made him feel that there was something wrong with his scumbag father. He was not suitable to lead the army to fight. Instead, going there would sow greater disaster for Daliang.

Moreover, there are leaders in the court who are stronger than his scumbag father, so he did it without hesitation.

After hearing this, I realized that my young husband felt heavy all over.

Shi Qingluo also roughly guessed that before his scumbag father went to the battlefield, his young husband must have dragged their entire family to hell.

She hugged Xiao Hanzheng tightly with heartache, "Now that we have the God-given good seed, if we work harder, we will definitely not end up like that again."

The people of the two cities were massacred because of that woman. Her scumbag father might have been the driving force behind it. They deserved to die.

Xiao Hanzheng hugged Shi Qingluo tightly and stroked her head with his chin, "Yes, it won't be like that this time."

From the moment he woke up and saw his young wife, everything in his previous life had changed.

His relatives were not killed, his body was no longer damaged by poisoning, and his path to the imperial examination was not blocked by the Xiao family.

Several of the plans of the scumbag father and that woman were foiled, and people from the old Xiao family were sent to harm those two.

After a while, Xiao Hanzheng found the Taoist's handwriting and studied it.

Then he wrote a letter that sounded like a will, focusing on explaining the matter of the good seed bestowed by God on the current emperor.

He also added a paragraph, which meant that the old Taoist had told Shi Qingluo before he ascended to heaven, asking her to plant the golden seeds in July and present them to the emperor after the harvest in October.

This would also explain why Shi Qingluo only started planting corn after the old Taoist had been dead for almost a year.

Shi Qingluo went out to discuss cooperation with Xi Rong.

To make cosmetics, you need a lot of beeswax.

In addition to the entire Daliang acquisition, Shi Qingluo also plans to teach beekeeping skills to others for free.

She has studied and learned this at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Sugar is expensive now, so honey is naturally not cheap either.

The people raise bees themselves, and they can sell the honey. The beeswax is purchased by them, and a contract is signed at that time, which is mutually beneficial.

After listening to Shi Qingluo's plan, Xi Rong couldn't help but admire him, "You are so thoughtful."

"Daliang probably doesn't have many bees. They collect all wild beeswax, which is definitely not enough for the lipsticks we make."

The more she got in touch with Shi Qingluo, the more she felt that she was not an ordinary woman.

Starry eyes looked at Shi Qingluo, "And you are amazing, you can even raise bees."

Shi Qingluo chuckled and said, "You praise me every day, I'm almost embarrassed."

Xi Rui and others: “…” I couldn’t tell that you were embarrassed!

Liang Youxiao touched his nose, leaned over and asked tentatively: "How about you take me to play one, and I'll help the two aunts."

He had actually thought about the beeswax matter before.

He felt that the rouge shop that the two of them had set up had a limited number of products available, so although it was a pity, he didn't take it to heart.

Now, according to Shi Qingluo's words, if more people can raise bees at home, there will be no need to worry about beeswax.

He knew that this business was definitely a place of huge profits. After all, it was easy to make money from women, and women were especially willing to spend money on dressing up.

His mother and others are real examples.

Xi Rong and Shi Qingluo turned their heads at the same time, "No!"

Liang Youxiao: “…” Shi Qingluo also learned bad things from this tigress.

No, both are tigresses, one is a little tigress and the other is a big tigress, huh!

Xi Rui laughed gloatingly and said, "Haha, you have come to this day too."

He also came over and said, "I don't want you to take me to play, but if you make a set of lipsticks, you have to give me a few sets."

It is necessary to appease the old lady, my mother and other women in the Duke's Mansion.

Shi Qingluo gave Xi Rui a look that said "you are very good", "No problem at all."

"Since you are so filial, we will give you a few sets for free."

"At that time, we will also prepare different gift boxes for you according to different age groups."

Xi Rui's mother and others are at the top of the circle of noble ladies in Beijing. With their publicity, are you still worried that the rouge shop's business will be bad?

It's a live advertisement that doesn't require any advertising fees, so what's the point of giving away a few sets for free?

Encouraged by Shi Qingluo, Xi Rui straightened his chest and said, "That's right. I am well-known as the most filial son in the capital."

Liang Youxiao and Fei Yuzhe: "..." How dare you say such a thing.

And it's enough that he is so proud even after being betrayed by Shi Qingluo.
