Chapter 505: King Zhennan Wants to Be Enfeoffed

Zong Zhao thought from the perspective of a family member: how to get Zong Yan back to the family.

But the relationship between Zong Yan and Yan Suxue is not just that of husband and wife. She is also the woman he asked his brother to find for him before he was on the verge of death.

They are just one step away from a normal start.

Zong Zhao understood, but he was still worried: "I'm afraid Zong Yan won't take the initiative."

Xu Wan smiled and said, "Zong Yan has grown up a long time ago, but you always treat him like a child. You didn't dare to mention Su Xue's matter because you were afraid of upsetting him. In the end, didn't he just ask about it himself?"

"But he..."

Zong Zhao wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted by Xu Wan: "Oh, by the way, seriously speaking, if you remove the seven years you were in a coma, your actual age is not even older than Zong Yan, right, his brother?"

Zong Zhao: “…” I can’t talk about my wife anymore.

According to Xu Wan's calculation, Zong Yan had more life experience than him, because even if he counted the three years when he returned to Beijing in his previous life, he still couldn't make up for the missing seven years.

"So we're just going to leave it like that?" Zong Zhao asked.

Xu Wan smiled and said, "I think we can wait and see what happens. Anyway, he already knows that Su Xue is at home. If he wants to see her, he will ask her himself. Don't worry, even if he doesn't ask you, he will ask Wen Xiu."

Zong Zhao had a complicated expression.

I can't imagine Zong Yan would take the initiative to ask Wen Xiu...

Xu Wan jokingly counseled him, "Hey, don't interfere in the affairs of a married couple. This involves the private affairs of the second wife. Can you have a sense of boundaries?"

“…”

Zong Zhao was speechless.

In the following days, when Zong Wenxiu was not busy, he would go to see his father, either to ask him about archery or to inquire about some ways to keep fit. In any case, he would think of a lot of questions before going, and he was worried about making the visit boring.

Zong Wenxiu never thought that one day he would rack his brains to chat with people, but when he thought that this was his father who had come back from the dead, he felt warm in his heart.

He has a father now, and his father is still alive.

He has one more relative.

Really very very happy!

Another day.

Zong Wenxiu came over with a book in his hand, ready to do his official business in his father's room. He had recently moved into this courtyard, and his father was willing to let him take his uncle's place so that they could sleep together and chat until late.

But as soon as he entered the room, Zong Yan said to him, "Wen Xiu, please take this drawing to the palace."

"Hmm? What drawings?"

Zong Wenxiu put the book down and took a look. It seemed to be a weapon design, but the drawing was very complicated and looked like a car. The four wheels were made of heavy iron and had the ability to roll over. Not only were there rows of crossbows installed on the car, but there was also a place to store fuel. It could use a chain to throw flaming weapons, so one car could defeat hundreds of soldiers.

Zong Wenxiu looked up and asked uncertainly, "Dad, is this the combat vehicle you designed?"

As far as he knew, there were no such weapons on the front line, and such complex technology could not be produced without sufficient money.

Zong Yan nodded and said, "I have had an idea of ​​this in my mind for a long time. Prince Jin An also asked me for it, but they are an enemy country, so they would rather give it to our own people."

Zong Wenxiu said excitedly: "Dad, you are so awesome! I will send it to the palace now. Jin Cheng will definitely be very happy when he sees it. This thing can end the war quickly!"

"Well, go ahead."

Imperial Palace, Yu's study.

The little devil was furious. He threw the memorial down fiercely and shouted angrily, "No, no, no! Not to mention the King of Zhennan, even if the Duke of Huguo came, it would be useless. I just won't approve it!!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down." All the ministers in the room knelt down.

Even Eunuch Huang had never seen him lose his temper so much. He knelt down with a thud.

Zong Zhao was not here today, so it was Prime Minister Shen's turn to stay here. Who would have known that when he was halfway through reading the memorials, the memorial from Prince Zhennan was brought in by General Pang, who said it was urgent and required the young emperor to cut in line and read it first.

Chu Jincheng thought it was some urgent matter, so he quickly opened it to take a look. It turned out that the memorial from King Zhennan said: He cultivated a kind of mushroom in Yunnan that was suitable for large-scale cultivation and could solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.

It is nonsense to say that eating mushrooms can solve the problem of food and satiety, but Yunnan is the fiefdom of King Zhennan and is under his jurisdiction. He can grow whatever he likes and Jincheng has no intention of interfering.

As a result, the King of Zhennan also said in his memorial: The land in several counties adjacent to Yunnan is barren and not suitable for growing grain. He requested the emperor to transfer these counties to Yunnan, and he would unify the planning and lead the people here out of poverty and into prosperity.

This is blatantly true. Under the guise of helping the people get rid of poverty and become rich, he asked the emperor to increase the area of ​​his fiefdom!

Prime Minister Shen's face was not looking good either, but General Pang and others were still here, so he couldn't open his mouth to say that he disagreed, for fear of being hated by the Duke of Protectorate.

Fortunately, the emperor was smart and saw through the trick immediately. He lost his temper and frightened General Pang so much that he dared not raise his head.

Although I am scared, I still have to work.

General Pang buried his head and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Zhennan is always thinking about the people. This is all to relieve your worries and the worries of the court."

Jin Cheng sneered: "Growing mushrooms is not that complicated. If he tells people the seeds and how to grow them, wouldn't the people all grow them? Do you think I should give him some land?"

When the word "ceding land" was mentioned, a group of people trembled with fear.

General Pang even took the lead in complaining: "Your Majesty, please understand. The King of Zhennan is your uncle. He definitely does not have such intentions!"

Jin Cheng picked up the memorial angrily, wrote the two words "not approved", and threw it at General Pang's feet again, saying in a stern voice: "I have written that I will not approve it. General Pang, please send it to the King of Zhennan!"

General Pang said in panic: "Your Majesty! Please think twice..."

The little devil yelled at him, "Back off!"

"Yes... I'll take my leave." General Pang pulled a sour face and glared at Prime Minister Shen fiercely.

You old man, don't think I didn't see the smile in your eyes.

Prime Minister Shen: “……?”

I didn't say a word!!

All the officials in the room left, leaving only Prime Minister Shen and Eunuch Huang.

Prime Minister Shen praised: "Your Majesty, you have vented your temper to the fullest today. Your aura is so strong that even General Pang is afraid of you. You are more majestic than when the late emperor was here."

The little devil snorted and said, "I am really angry. The memorials he sent to me are all about mushrooms every day. Is Yunnan only about mushrooms? I finally have something important to do, but he asked me to increase his fiefdom to grow mushrooms. Why doesn't he just grow them in my Yu Garden?"

Prime Minister Shen repeatedly stopped him: "Aiya, Your Majesty, you can't say such things carelessly. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, they will think that you suspect the Prince of Zhennan is plotting rebellion."

"He clearly..."

Before the little devil could finish his words, he heard a voice from outside saying that Zong Bianxiu wanted to see him.

Chu Jincheng, who had been reading memorials for the whole afternoon, suddenly became alert. He changed his serious and angry expression to a lovely and energetic one, and said excitedly, "Quick! Bring him in!"

Brother came to see him!

happy!!!
