"This is the golden cherry tree that Lu Demin asked someone to bring back from Australia. It can cure "enuresis, frequent urination, and chronic diarrhea." Kang Jianjun is old. I thought you might need it."
The Supreme Emperor waved his hand, and the palace maid Amber came forward holding a small wooden box.
After all, Lao Kang was the seventeenth inheritor of Vajra Powder. He had been dealing with medicinal materials since he was a child and had done extensive research on various prescriptions. When he opened the wooden box, he immediately recognized it as the legendary Jinyingzi, a magical medicine for treating dysentery.
"I have only seen it in medicine books before, and thought that this medicine had been lost long ago. I never thought..."
The old man was so excited that he didn't care about the beautiful palace maid beside him. He burst into tears and said:
"Ah, it's rare that your majesty still remembers my old illness. This golden cherry tree was originally a medicine prepared by Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, for the sailors when he went to Nanyang. Later, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not allow Pian Sai to sail to the sea, so the magic medicine was mixed with the eunuch of the Three Treasures. The treasure ship was lost together. I didn’t expect to find it again.”
Amber interjected: "Your Majesty spent a lot of effort searching for this medicine."
Kang Yingqian quickly saluted again, and Liu Zhaosun stepped forward to help him up.
The Australian aborigines call goldenrod "mother's tears". This medicinal herb is not native to Australia and it is impossible for it to fly to Australia on its own. Therefore, someone must have brought it.
In other words, it is very likely that Sanbao Eunuch has been to Australia!
Thinking of this, Kang Yingqian looked at the Supreme Emperor with more complicated eyes. As early as more than ten years ago, Da Qi was planning to land in Australia. After more than ten years of hard work and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver invested, he still gained something.
"Kang Jianjun, Kang Jianjun?"
Liu Zhaosun shouted twice, and Kang Yingqian regained his energy, but he heard the emperor say:
"It's not early. You go back first and have a good rest tomorrow. Come to the Taisho Palace early the day after tomorrow to discuss state affairs together."
Kang Yingqian quickly agreed, stood up, saluted again, and slowly left the hall.
The Supreme Emperor looked around and congratulated Dongfang: "Go and see off Kang Shoufu."
Dongfang Zhu quickly accepted the order and left.
The two of them drifted away, and the Supreme Emperor murmured:
People must live, no matter what, they must live.
The main hall of the Taisho Palace was empty except for the two palace maids, the Supreme Emperor and Amber Dujuan.
Liu Zhaosun thought of all the disasters that had happened in these days and felt that he was as exhausted as a firefighting captain. If he had been in this state of power, he doubted whether he would live to be fifty.
"Let Blind Ke do some more careful divination another day to see how long he can live? Liu Kan will be fourteen next year, so he can be in charge."
The Supreme Emperor was still thinking. Suddenly, a breeze blew behind him. He reacted instantly and thought it was another assassin who was chasing the moth. However, before he could turn around, a familiar aroma from around him hit his nostrils.
"It's so late and you're still not sleeping? Is Liu Yufei asleep?"
"She can eat, sleep, and be fat. My husband, it's better not to worry about her."
As he spoke, a large cloak was draped on Emperor Wu Ding's back, and a warmth suddenly swept through his body.
The copper stoves at the four corners of the main hall had long been extinguished. In the late autumn of Shenyang Palace, it was already a bit cold in the second half of the night.
Jin Yuji breathed into the palms of her hands and rubbed them gently. She stood with her back to the whale oil lamp, her clear eyes a little dazed.
Liu Zhaosun took off the cloak and put it on the Queen Mother again. Jin Yuji did not refuse, and the image of the plump eldest princess appeared in front of the Emperor's eyes.
"Liu Yufei's birthday is coming soon, it seems to be November 11th."
"Husband, it's rare that you still remember that she is sixteen this year, and many people in the palace say it's time to get married."
The Supreme Emperor smiled awkwardly. Over the years, he had been fighting endlessly. Almost every autumn and winter, he was fighting, or on the way to fight. It seemed that he had never celebrated his daughter's birthday.
"You're sixteen, so soon...is there a suitable family for you?"
Jin Yuji smiled and said: "Where is it? Nowadays, there is no scientific examination, so there is no number two in the list. It is difficult for her to dislike ordinary generals."
It shouldn’t be difficult to marry the eldest princess, right?
"Why don't we find some former Ming Hanlin..."
More than ten years have passed by like a fleeting moment, and in the blink of an eye, Jin Yuji has grown from the little girl who lost her parents and was helpless by the Hunjiang River to the empress dowager of the Great Qi Empire.
The Supreme Emperor shook his hand and rejected this absurd idea.
"Just wait a little longer,"
"Wait? If you wait any longer, you will really become an old princess."
Liu Zhaosun was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "The scientific examination will resume soon. The second and top candidates in the Imperial Academy and so on that you want will be like the crucian carp crossing the river, coming in an endless stream to dazzle Liu Yufei."
Jin Yuji was angry: "What do I want? I'm getting my daughter married..."
Liu Zhaosun saw that Jin Yuji was in high spirits today and couldn't bear to tell her some bad news.
After waving the palace maid away, the two sat down in front of the dragon bed. The Supreme Emperor was a little absent-minded.
Jin Yuji could tell at a glance what Liu Zhaosun was thinking: "Husband? Is there any news about my uncle?"
The Emperor decided not to hide it anymore.
"Pei Dahu, Wu Xiao and the others brought Jin Dajiu back. They arrived in Shenyang yesterday and he is now in prison."
After saying that, he looked at Jin Yuji calmly, waiting for her to react.
"Are you going to see your brother for the last time?"
"ah?"
Jin Yuji's shoulders shook, but her expression did not change. After a moment, her shiny black hair swayed slightly.
"No need, he did a lot of bad things in Huguang, betrayed Daqi, betrayed you."
"But he is still your brother and your relative in this world."
Jin Yuji was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "My concubine's relative is Your Majesty, the eldest princess, and Liu Kan."
Liu Zhaosun said nothing more.
Uncle Jin Dajiu single-handedly - of course he was not the only one - caused chaos in half of Huguang and civil strife, Tianxin City collapsed, and the majestic project that the Supreme Emperor had been thinking about was turned into an unfinished building before it was even halfway completed.
No matter from which point of view, uncle Guo must die.
"I just want him to die happily. If you want Ling Chi, please kill him first..."
Liu Zhaosun was silent for a while, and finally agreed to the Queen Mother's request, which was not a request.
He helped Jin Yuji sit in front of the bed, taking off his clothes and belt, and said to himself:
"Yu Ji, do you know why I hate him so much?"
Jin Yuji was stunned for a moment and said uneasily:
"He embezzled millions of taels of silver and also intended to rebel..."
Liu Zhaosun stopped his movements. He seemed to have been hit by a lead bullet, his voice trembled, and he stared at the Queen Mother:
"That's because I gave your brother the most important thing in Da Qi, asking him to go to Junzhou to build Tianxin City, and let him build a new capital for Da Qi that would stand out from the rest. Whether he cut corners or cut corners, or was greedy for money, I don’t care. As long as the city can be built, everything will be fine. But now, Tianxin City will never be built! Wu Xiao told me yesterday that it has become a pile of ruins. In the past, their ambitions and mine Bobo has formulated various national policies, and the land and acres system from the Qi Dynasty has to be changed now. In the future, whenever I go to Junzhou and see Tianxin City, I will be reminded that I am a loser and have been defeated repeatedly!"
At the end of the sentence, the Supreme Emperor suddenly began to sob, and tears gradually dimmed the eyes of the traveler.
Moscow doesn't believe in tears, and neither does Shenyang. However, people always have their limits, even if he is a demigod.
Jin Yuji hugged him gently, sang Korean nursery rhymes, and slept in her clothes.

Kang Yingqian succeeded Sun Chuanting and became the chief minister of the Daqi cabinet. Cabinet ministers Xu Guangqi and Jin Nige were also dismissed and replaced by Lu Xiang, who was promoted to Qiao Yiqi. Qian Qianyi's post at Houxun remained unchanged and he remained a bachelor.
The power structure at the top of Daqi was reshuffled. Jin Dajiu, the Duke of Chengguo, was charged with treason. The Supreme Emperor was particularly merciful. If the thief could take the initiative to go north and be captured, he could be spared the death penalty. However, the probability of Jin Dajiu surrendering was not high.
At the end of October, the cabinet issued an edict, blaming the recent poverty and rampant corruption in the world on Ma Shiying, the former chief minister Sun Chuanting, and Jin Dajiu and Song Yingxing, who had lived up to their divine grace and acted recklessly. When later generations recorded this period of history, The above four people are called the Four Tigers of Taichu. The four formed a gang and did everything. Therefore, they caused ten years of turmoil in Daqi and caused serious losses to the people.
