Chapter 358: Spending a Lot of Money to Buy a Special Skill



"They know nothing. They are members of the Shangguan family and can survive with the help of the clan. The result will be the same with or without me. I just didn't expect..." He didn't continue with the rest of the words.

Unexpectedly, his wife was so angry that she hit her head against the wall and died. Unexpectedly, his son went to the battlefield because his father was a criminal, just to prove that he was loyal to Wei.

"Brother, I only ask one thing of you, find an ordinary family for Yan'er to marry into, so that she can forget about me as her father." Shangguan Hongzhe still showed a little affection.

"good."

There was no questioning or quarreling in this conversation between the two brothers, just a few calm words.

The prince turned around and walked away, walking very slowly.

That back view was filled with sadness and grief.

"Third Master, this is the lunch that the prince prepared for you. They are all your favorite foods. Please enjoy it." An Yi picked up a food box in his hand and put it outside the prison door.

Then he turned around and chased the prince.

That afternoon, someone from the Ministry of Justice came to report that Shangguan Hongzhe had died in prison.

He died of poisoning, with blood gushing out of all his orifices.

"You should deal with it the same way as the prisoners on death row." Shangguan Ziqi said to the person who was sent to report the news on behalf of the prince.

The man received the instructions and left in a hurry, and he also knew how to deal with it.

Naturally, he was treated as a person without any relatives or friends and thrown into a mass grave.

Thinking that the person died of poisoning, they finally dug a hole and buried the person without even a straw mat.

Shangguan Ziqi came to the study and saw the prince spreading out a piece of paper and writing big characters.

I walked over and took a look: A man without faith cannot stand, and the sun will shine in the sky.

The pen moves like a dragon, and the force penetrates the paper.

"King."

"Well, sent away?"

"Yes, Prince Xu directly poisoned him to death. Was it to preserve the reputation of my Prince Rong's Mansion?" Shangguan Ziqi thought that the emperor would execute him publicly, but Prince Xu sent the man away after a meal.

"My Rongwang Mansion has been around for a hundred years, and the image in the eyes of the people cannot be ruined because of him.

Several generations of ancestors protected the Wei dynasty and its people.

If the image of my Rongwang Mansion in the hearts of the people collapses, it will be disadvantageous for my Rongwang Mansion to command the army in the future.

Only when the army and the people work together can the Wei Dynasty be kept stable."

The prince put down his pen and said slowly.

"My son is learning." Shangguan Ziqi understood immediately that the king was teaching him.

"Well, let's leave it at that. Your children are already three years old, and it's time for them to start learning. Which teacher do you think should we invite to come to your house, or send them to the clan school?"

"Madam has already taught them to read, but her teaching method is different from that of my husband. Surprisingly, the three children learned to read very quickly." Shangguan Ziqi found it magical when he thought of his wife holding word cards and teaching the children as if she was playing a game.

"However, the child still needs formal instruction from a teacher."

"Yes, my son and his wife will discuss it."

Envoys from both countries came to Beijing.

Emperor Qiyi first summoned the Crown Prince of Southern Shu, Liu Dekun.

The two countries are friendly countries, and Emperor Qiyi's attitude towards him is very friendly. He did not become arrogant because Wei had the bomb.

Emperor Qiqi held a small palace banquet and invited several ministers to join him.

Of course, the son of Prince Rong was also invited, and even the Marquis of Zhenguo was invited.

When Yu Yuanzheng received the emperor's oral order, she knew what the emperor meant.

This is to allow her to enter the palace in men's clothing.

When she walked into the Taiyi Palace, she saw that except for a few palace servants who were women, all the people there were men.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of Wei."

"Haha, Prince Liu, no need to be polite, please take a seat." Emperor Qi'er was particularly happy.

He was very satisfied with the sincerity of the Prince of Southern Shu coming in person.

This time, the two countries declared war on Canglan at the same time, which was the greatest support for Wei.

Otherwise, if Canglan put all his strength into dealing with Wei, many soldiers might have to sacrifice.

With the intervention of Nanshu, the war ended faster.

Prince Liu also sent the Ninth Princess to help escort the iron box back to Beijing. These actions were very friendly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Prince Liu sat down, his eyes always looked towards Yu Yuanzheng.

"Is this the Marquis of Zhenguo who was newly appointed by His Majesty?" Prince Liu stood up again and asked generously.

"That's right." Emperor Qiyi also looked at Yu Yuanzheng with a smile.

"Your Majesty, speaking of which, the Marquis Zhenguo is also the savior of this palace and the emperor.

Although I paid the medical fee, there are very few people in the world who can save me and the emperor.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Lord Zhenguo."

Prince Liu bowed to Yu Yuanzheng very solemnly.

"Prince Liu, you are too polite. I am here just for the consultation fee you gave me."

Yu Yuanzheng was telling the truth.

"Haha..." Prince Liu laughed after hearing this. "I heard that the Marquis Zhenguo has a unique skill that can prevent smallpox. Throughout history, Nanshu has also been plagued by smallpox many times. I wonder if the Marquis can pass on this unique skill to Nanshu? The conditions are negotiable."

Prince Liu said he had heard about it, but in fact he had known about it for a long time.

He also asked people to check specifically, but it turned out that during the period when Yu Yuanzheng was vaccinating people, she collected all the cowpox fluid from people she brought out from Prince Rong's Mansion and Prince Jing's Mansion.

Although I know that she uses milk to give people prevention, I don't know how she gets the juice.

He also knew that she had only smeared something on the man's arm, but he had no way of finding out whether that thing had been used for any other treatment or if any other medicine had been put into it.

Yu Yuanzheng listened and smiled.

At that time, Prince Jing told her to keep it confidential so that she could sell it for a good price in the future.

As a result, Prince Liu talked about this matter as soon as he arrived that day. This shows how important it is to prevent smallpox for the entire human race.

"Prince Liu, I have already contributed this unique skill to the court. It would be more appropriate for you to discuss this matter with the emperor." Yu Yuanzheng said with a smile.

She knew very well in her heart that she could no longer make the decision on this matter.

She got the title of Marquis Zhenguo because of this.

"Your Majesty, we, Nan Shu, sincerely seek this unique skill. Please state the conditions." Prince Liu bowed to Emperor Qi again.

"Your Highness, what conditions do you want in exchange for this unique skill?" Emperor Qi wanted to hear what conditions the other party could offer.

It's not too late for him to bargain.

"Before I set out, I discussed with the Emperor. Nan Shu is willing to pay 300,000 taels of silver and receive 500,000 taels of silver worth of top-quality jade from Nan Shu. The jade will be sent to Wei in batches."

The war between Nanshu and Canglan also consumed the national treasury. There was not much silver to be taken out, so the only way to make up for it was to use Nanshu's unique products, jade and stones.

After hearing this, several ministers were a little disappointed, because what the Wei Dynasty lacked most was silver, but the other party could not afford to give them silver.

Emperor Qiyi knew the reason as soon as he thought about it.

The current treasury of the Great Wei Dynasty cannot even take out 300,000 taels of silver, and it has to wait for taxes from all over the country to be deposited into the treasury.

And we have to wait another half an hour, as it is only the second day of May.

However, it is already very good that Nanshu can offer this condition.

He already knew that Yu Yuanzheng had given money to Emperor Nan Shu when he went to treat him.

However, that time the money came from the private treasury of the emperor and the prince, while this time it came from the national treasury.

I guess both libraries have taken out almost the same amount of money.

"Okay, let's do as Prince Liu said. I have something to ask, but I wonder if Prince Liu can make the decision?"

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"The Ninth Princess of your country and my nephew are in love, and Prince Jing's Mansion sincerely wants to marry her. I wonder what Prince Liu thinks?"
