Chapter 409 Like a Simp
Now that the national treasury is full, Lin Anyuan arranged for people to explore the sea area after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
All the military and civil officials in the imperial court were in the Hall of Diligent Governance.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!"
Wei Ye requested permission.
Lin Anyuan glanced at him. "My daughter is pregnant with your child, and you're going out to sea at this time?"
Sanya is pregnant with twins, but hasn't given birth yet.
Wei Ye was stunned. What should he say at this moment?
Zheng Qingshan, who was standing next to him, grinned and was about to speak when a deep voice suddenly rang out from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, this old minister requests permission to fight!"
"Your Majesty, General Wei and General Wei have arrived!"
Summon the auspicious eunuch to come in and deliver a message.
Now there are no concubines in the harem, and no new eunuchs have entered the palace. These are the old eunuchs who entered the palace when Emperor Hong was still alive. After Lin Anyuan entered the palace, he selected a young one from among them and placed him by Li Dequan's side to train.
"Please invite them in!"
General Wei had spent his life on the battlefield. When he entered, all the military officers stepped back.
Wei Shitou also came along. His father had heard from somewhere that the emperor was going to attack the sea area, so he insisted on going to the palace, and no one could stop him.
They met the Crown Prince at the palace gate and were allowed in by him.
"General Wei, please rise. What brings you to the palace today?" Lin Anyuan asked, somewhat surprised.
"It was His Highness the Crown Prince who allowed this old minister to enter!"
"Your Majesty, I heard you are going to send men to attack the sea. Please let this old minister go. Ever since I retired from the battlefield that year, I have been hoping to return to the battlefield before I die!" General Wei said excitedly.
Which general wouldn't want to expand their territory?
Other military officers spoke up, "Old general, you're seventy years old now. How can you still go to the battlefield? Just stay home and enjoy your retirement."
General Wei said, "An old steed in its stall may still aspire to gallop a thousand miles, but what do you know!"
"Your Majesty, if a general dies on the battlefield, this old minister must die on the battlefield. If you don't let this old minister go, this old minister will not rest in peace!"
He had already planned it out when he came today: if the emperor didn't agree, he would act like a rogue and insist on going no matter what.
Lin Anyuan said, "We definitely can't send the old general in the first batch. Once the large ship is built, we will send General Wei."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will also take my good-for-nothing son with me. Like father, like son."
"Can."
Wei Ye's lips twitched. What kind of situation was this? He couldn't go, so he sent his father and grandfather instead.
After leaving the palace, General Wei seemed to have suddenly regained his energy and spirit, and his whole demeanor changed.
In his lifetime, he will surely witness the most powerful Xia Dynasty!
General Wei has left, but the remaining court officials are still there, continuing to discuss the previous matters.
"Lin Anyuan."
"Wanwan, what brings you here?" Lin Anyuan put down his pen and hurriedly stood up.
These officials were already used to Ye Wan entering and leaving the Qin Zheng Hall, and they all bowed to him.
Ye Wan naturally walked to Lin Anyuan's side, but she stood instead of sitting down. "I'm here to tell you that if you want to conquer the sea, these cold weapons alone won't be enough."
A military officer spoke up, "Your Majesty, we have gunpowder."
Ye Wan shook her head. "Gunpowder alone won't work."
"You should summon the most skilled craftsmen in the land to the capital to create the most advanced weapons!"
The sea area has not been explored yet, and who knows what dangers might be involved? It's best to be fully prepared.
Lin Anyuan's eyes lit up. "Wanwan, how come you're so smart!"
"Alright, stop praising me. I have important business to attend to. We need to distribute those piglets from the farm to every household."
Ye Wan left, and Lin Anyuan escorted her to the door before returning to discuss business.
The other ministers pretended not to see it; their emperor was sometimes just a sycophant.
Yes, it's "licking dog," a new term that's recently become popular in storybooks.
If we're talking about how good life is these days, then there are all sorts of storybooks and tales about it.
After leaving the palace, Ye Wan took her two older sisters with her to the farm.
"We've come at the perfect time! Her Majesty the Empress is practically a celestial being reincarnated."
"Yes, when we were kids, if a family ate meat, it was considered the best year ever. I never imagined that now every household could raise pigs, and during the New Year, the children could finally wear new clothes and eat their fill of meat!"
"Yes, this is a life we never dared to dream of. Our children will have a better and better future!"
"Long live the Empress!"
"Long live the Empress!"
The farmers who received the piglets bowed deeply in gratitude to Ye Wan, and no one could stop them.
Ye Hua sighed, "I always felt that I had been a good enough princess, but after seeing my younger sister, I still feel that I am far inferior to her."
She still has a lot to learn; she can't catch up to anyone else.
Ye Cao nodded, "Yes, I also thought that I, as the Lady of Changping, was respected by the local people, but now it seems that I am not as respected as they are."
Ye Wan heard this and smiled, saying, "Everyone is different, and both of you are very nice."
"You're the only one who can comfort us, little sister. Cheng'er and Nuo'er thank you so much. I won't say anything more. Our lives are yours." Ye Cao didn't know how to express her gratitude to Ye Wan.
The seeds she sowed years ago are now almost bearing the brunt of their consequences for her children.
"What would I do with your lives, Second Sister, Eldest Sister? I hope all women in the world can live well." Ye Wan looked at the smiles on the women's faces and sighed in her heart.
She will do everything she can.
Leaf Flower and Leaf Grass spoke up, "Then let's work together."
"Mom, don't forget about us! Let's work together!"
Not far away, Daya, Erya, and Sanya also arrived.
...
...
This year was more lively than ever before, as Sanya gave birth to twin sons.
One is named Wei Kaixuan, and the other is named Wei Guilai.
It symbolizes the triumphant return of their grandfather and great-grandfather.
The name was chosen by Sanya, and the entire Wei family approved it. Ye Wan couldn't help but smile when she heard it.
"Mom, what are you laughing at? This name is so nice! I've thought about it so much, my brain is practically dry!" Sanya thought the name she came up with was pretty good.
She finally made it out of her postpartum period and rushed to see her mother with her two big, chubby boys.
The postpartum period is so uncomfortable, it's like being in prison.
Er Ya laughed heartily, "I always tell you to read more books, but you insist on practicing horse stance instead, hahaha, be careful your son will resent you when he grows up."
Sanya muttered, "What's it to blame me for? Second Sister, your son's name isn't much better either."
Ye Wan asked Da Ya, "Are you pregnant again?"
Er Ya exclaimed in surprise, "What? Big sister, you're pregnant again?"
"Hmm." Daya said shyly, "He won't let me have any more children. I thought one child would be a bit lonely, so I wanted to have another one. Blood relatives are family, no matter what."
It's only been a month now, and I was just about to tell my mother when I realized she already knew.
