Meng Hana's intact hand crushed the teacup directly. His face turned livid.
He stood up suddenly and gave the old emperor and Prince of Yan a fierce look.
King Yan raised his eyebrows, turned his eyes slightly, and curled his lips: "We took these three cities. It's also thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Jin."
Montana gritted his teeth and slapped the person next to him.
Even after being beaten, the man kept his head down and said nothing.
Hua Qingqing was stunned.
[Hey, that's Maureen! ]
[The monk spy of the Southern King! ]
Hua Changjue was stunned and looked over quickly! He was shocked instantly. This person was really Mo Lin. He changed into a big golden man's costume! He was wearing a turban.
He is completely different from the original Morin dressed as a monk.
If her youngest daughter hadn't reminded her, she really wouldn't have noticed it.
Meng Hana really wanted to kill Mo Lin with one blow. It was him and the Southern King who came up with this trick that caused him to lose three cities at once.
Montana finally bowed to the old emperor.
"I am not feeling well today, so I will take my leave now." After saying this, he left with his people very rudely.
The old emperor was really happy this time. He didn't bother with him and asked someone to escort them out of the palace.
The old emperor asked Eunuch Lian to take the map presented by the King of Yan and looked at it carefully. He was excited to see the extra cities.
"Okay, that's great."
"Since it already belongs to our Great Sheng Dynasty, let's change the names from today on. The three cities in the north will be Wulan Prefecture, Kangbao Prefecture, and Duolun Prefecture!"
The prince smiled and stood up, bowing to the old emperor.
"Congratulations, Father! Three more prefectures!"
Everyone stood up and congratulated the old emperor.
King Yan glanced at Hua Changjue quietly and nodded to him.
Hua Changjue was slightly stunned, and nodded at him.
Afterwards, several princes and princesses presented gifts, all of which were clever little gadgets that made the old emperor happy.
The eldest princess is now more than four months pregnant and her belly is already visible. Accompanying her are her husband and Shen Jialin. Shen Jialin has obviously lost a lot of weight. She is also much more haggard. She looks listless and keeps her head down the whole time.
The eldest princess gave the old emperor many gifts, the most thoughtful of which was a box of cakes.
"Brother, this was our favorite pastry when we were kids, but no one knows how to make it now!"
"I made this based on my childhood memories! Please try it. Does it taste the same as when you were a kid?"
The old emperor also began to look forward to it.
Life was really hard when I was a kid. The cakes were also given to the landlords' children. If they didn't eat them, they would be rewarded with some.
He would never forget that taste. Now he was the emperor. He had tasted all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but the taste of his childhood was gone.
The old emperor looked at the pastries with emotion, and he didn't even need to ask his eunuch to test the poison. He just picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
He nodded repeatedly.
"My sister cooked this really well! It still tastes the same as it did back then."
The eldest princess nodded happily.
"As long as my brother likes it, I'm glad. I'll make it for you often in the future."
There was a warm and silent affection between the two. The old emperor loved his sister even more.
"You are pregnant again after a lot of hardship, you must take good care of yourself! Just ask the servants to make the cakes and other things."
"Thank you for your concern, brother! I will take good care of myself!" The eldest princess sighed and glanced at Shen Jialin.
"Brother, Jialin is not young anymore! It's time for her to get married!"
The old emperor nodded.
"Indeed! Which girl does the imperial sister like? The emperor brother can help arrange a marriage for her."
Shen Jialin gritted her teeth, looked up at the old emperor and said.
"Uncle, I want to wait a few more years..."
Princess Xinrong frowned and glanced at Hua Wanru quietly, and saw that she lowered her head. Princess Xinrong didn't know what happened. She was extremely anxious.
The eldest princess's face immediately fell. She pulled Shen Jialin and then smiled awkwardly.
"In fact, I think Miss Fang Yaxin, the granddaughter of Old Master Fang, is a very suitable candidate!"
The old emperor frowned, looked at the eldest princess, then looked at Shen Jialin, and finally thought for a while before speaking lightly.
"Once you have all agreed on this matter, come and talk to me."
The princess froze, knowing that today's plan would fail. She was furious, but couldn't show it on her face. She could only nod.
"Okay, I'll go back and discuss this with Jialin."
After the princes and princesses, the ministers presented their gifts. Some presented the earliest wheat in the golden autumn. Some presented an exquisitely embroidered longevity painting.
Some people also sent rare treasures from outside the Great Wall.
The eunuchs read out the ministers' gifts one by one.
Suddenly, he recited.
"General Zhang Weiwu sent us a gold mine and an iron mine in Baoqing Prefecture!"
Everyone: …
Everyone knew that in the entire Great Sheng Dynasty, all the iron mines and gold mines were firmly in the hands of the old emperor.
Another thing that can be given away must be newly discovered gold mines and iron mines.
They looked at Zhang Weiwu with a hint of envy. They didn't know how lucky he was to have discovered a gold mine and an iron mine.
The old emperor's eyes also lit up.
"Where is Lord Zhang?"
Zhang Weiwu quickly walked to the center of the hall and bowed to the old emperor.
"I am here!"
The old emperor is very satisfied with him now. He thinks that if the Zhang family can really correct their mistakes.
In addition, as the eldest grandson of the emperor, he could also turn a blind eye and let them go for the time being.
The old emperor's eyes were full of golden light.
"Where are gold and iron ores found?"
"In reply to your Majesty, there used to be a bandit stronghold in the mountains north of Baoqing Prefecture. A while ago, my father and I went to suppress the bandits. Then we accidentally discovered gold and iron mines in the mountains behind there."
"My father and I thought it would be a good opportunity to present it to His Majesty and replenish the national treasury!"
The old emperor nodded.
"Alright, I know your loyalty, go back and sit down!"
Zhang Weiwu nodded and sat back with a smile on his face. The ministers beside him toasted him one after another.
He smiled back at each one.
Hua Changjue's eyes were filled with coldness. He picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.
Soon, the eunuch was heard continuing to read out the list of gifts.
"Duke Anguo presents a famous painting!" Waited for the eunuch to unfold it.
Everyone was stunned.
Because the scroll was opened, the screen was empty, there was nothing.
Hua Changjue, Jiang, Hua Lingxuan, Hua Lingyi and the others all looked unhappy.
The gift was something Jiang had prepared for a long time. It was something the old emperor liked, a calligraphy by a famous artist.
But now there is nothing.
This was obviously tampered with by someone.
The old emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Hua Changjue, wanting to see what he would say.
Zhang Weiwu sneered, his eyes full of gloating.
Jiang Shucheng also became worried.
