While Yun Zheng was busy contributing to the health of women all over the world, Emperor Wen had already returned to Sifang County.
Mu Shun also returned with Emperor Wen.
Upon receiving the news, Yun Li hurriedly led a group of officials to greet them.
"Has any report been received from the court?"
As soon as Emperor Wen came back, he asked about the main business.
"have."
Yun Li hurriedly reported: "Xiao Wanchou has led his army to help the prince of Jiaolu quell the rebellion, but they were a step too slow. Guo Si fled to the various tribes in western Moxi with several thousand troops. The prince of Jiaolu submitted a petition to the court, begging his father to grant an imperial decree to allow him to inherit the throne of Jiaolu..."
With Guo Si's rebellion put down, Nanzhao and Yunan have performed much better this year.
Both countries have submitted tribute, and the amount of tribute items is 30% more than in previous years.
The King of Nanzhao also took the initiative to request that his crown prince be sent to the imperial city of Dagan to study.

Post-disaster reconstruction in the south was also proceeding in an orderly manner. However, a few disaster victims accidentally started a forest fire while warming themselves by a fire in the mountains, resulting in large-scale forest fires in the south. Even the mountain that specially provided precious nanmu trees for the royal family was burned down.
Yun Li reported the news from various places in detail.
These are the reports sent by Xu Shifu.
Xu Shifu is very smart.
He had already approved some memorials on behalf of Emperor Wen.
Xu Shifu sent people to deliver the memorials submitted by the vassal states to Sifang County.
These things need to be approved by Emperor Wen.
In this way, Emperor Wen would be happy and would also see that Xu Shifu had not acted presumptuously.
Kill two birds with one stone!
Listening to Yun Li's detailed report, Emperor Wen couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
To be honest, Yun Li has made great progress since becoming the crown prince.
Yun Li is now the crown prince. He no longer has to focus on trying to fight for the position of crown prince. He can focus on learning things.
On the other hand, he handed over many affairs of the court to Yun Li to handle. Although Yun Li encountered various problems while handling these affairs, he did learn something in the process.
well!
It would be great if these two rebellious sons could really be friendly and respectful to each other.
Unfortunately, these two rebellious sons have long been incompatible with each other.
Moreover, the matter of the former crown prince has always been a thorn in his heart.
Emperor Wen sighed silently in his heart, and then said tiredly: "I am tired, I need to have a good rest! You can approve the petitions submitted by the vassal states on my behalf!"
"yes!"
Yun Li was secretly delighted and respectfully accepted the order. He then asked in a low voice, "Father, has my sixth brother received your order?"
"I understand."
Emperor Wen sighed softly, "This rebellious son has finally given me some face."
"That's good."
Yun Li felt relieved.
Soon, Emperor Wen returned to the temporary palace in Sifang County.
It is called a temporary palace, but in fact it is just a larger house. Compared with a proper palace, it is far inferior.
Emperor Wen was indeed a little tired after rushing back.
After returning to the palace, Emperor Wen ate something casually and went to rest.
When Emperor Wen woke up, Mu Shun came to report: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince wants to see you for something and has been waiting outside for almost an hour."
"oh?"
Emperor Wen was slightly surprised, "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"
Mu Shun replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince sympathizes with Your Majesty's fatigue from the journey and has instructed me not to disturb Your Majesty's rest."
Emperor Wen yawned and waved his hand gently: "That's great. I have something to tell him too! Let him in!"
Mu Shun took the order and went to pass it on immediately.
Soon, Mu Shun led Yun Li in.
"Your son greets His Majesty."
Yun Li bowed respectfully as soon as he came in.
Emperor Wen motioned Yun Li to sit down and said with a smile, "Next time if something happens, just ask Mu Shun to wake me up. Don't wait outside all the time."
Yun Li: "Your Majesty, you have been traveling a long way, so it is okay for me to wait a little longer."
"Now you look like a prince."
Emperor Wen gave Yun Li a rare look of approval. "Tell me, what do you want? Tell me your story first, and I'll give you some instructions."
Yun Li said respectfully: "Father, please let me tell you first!"
Emperor Wen pondered for a moment, then signaled Mu Shun and the palace maids serving in the room to leave.
After all the irrelevant people left, Emperor Wen spoke: "I went to Shuobei this time and went to see the wild potatoes that Zhang Xu mentioned. I asked many people and confirmed that the yield of the wild potatoes is very high! I originally wanted to introduce wild potatoes to the interior of the country for planting, but the rebellious son Lao Liu said that he had to discuss this matter with you..."
Discuss with yourself?
Yun Li's eyelids jumped, and he instantly realized that the bastard Lao Liu was trying to trick him again.
Otherwise, why would this bastard specifically ask to discuss this matter with me?
Yun Li frowned and said, "Sixth brother might want some benefits, but it's not easy for him to ask father for it, so he wants to discuss this matter with me."
"It's not that he doesn't want to ask me for help, he just wants to trick you!"
Emperor Wen was very direct, "I know this rebellious son just wants to make trouble for you, but the yield of potatoes is really high. If we can bring them into the interior, after you ascend the throne, the people of my Dagan will basically no longer have to go hungry! So, you still have to discuss this matter with your sixth brother."
Listening to Emperor Wen's words, Yun Li couldn't help feeling depressed.
Knowing that this bastard Lao Liu was going to cheat you, he still let you take care of this matter?
Isn't this clearly asking yourself to be cheated by Lao Liu?
"Father, given Sixth Brother's misunderstanding of me, it may not be easy to introduce sweet potatoes into the interior of the country!"
Yun Li looked embarrassed.
“No matter how difficult it is, it must be introduced!”
Emperor Wen said firmly: "This is a matter of benefit to the country and the people. Even if we have to swallow our anger, we must bring these potatoes into the country!"
Yun Li felt even more depressed when he heard this.
After thinking for a moment, Yun Li said tentatively: "Father, it is not a good thing for us to be threatened by our sixth brother all the time! If this continues, will the court still listen to our sixth brother?"
Emperor Wen raised his eyes slightly and said with interest: "Tell me what you think."
Yun Li hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and said, "This time, my sixth brother has come to Sifang County to get married under the imperial decree. This is a rare opportunity for the court!"
"You want to take this opportunity to get rid of Lao Liu?"
Emperor Wen narrowed his eyes and instantly guessed Yun Li's intention.
“No, no!”
Yun Li shook his head quickly. "No matter what, Sixth Brother is also my brother, and he has also made great contributions to Yu Dagan. How could I have the intention of murdering my Sixth Brother?"
"So what do you want?"
Emperor Wen asked further.
Yun Li deliberately paid attention to Emperor Wen's expression. Seeing that there was no anger on his face, Yun Li said boldly, "I want to take this opportunity to bring my sixth brother back to the imperial city and let him be an idle prince in the imperial city. I will ensure that he will live a life of wealth and glory! This way, I can eliminate the threat of my sixth brother to the court and prevent my son and my sixth brother from killing each other. It can be said that we have the best of both worlds."
Emperor Wen lowered his brows and pondered for a while, then he sighed and asked, "Do you know how many troops this rebellious son Lao Liu has?"
