In addition to the third prince, Emperor Zhaoxing also asked the chief eunuch to summon his imperial physician, the Imperial Medical Officer.
Not long after arriving at the Taiyuan Hospital, the figure of the third prince appeared at the door of the imperial study.
The third prince is a chubby boy, only sixteen years old.
After he walked into the imperial study, he looked at Emperor Zhaoxing with a simple and honest face:
"Father, I wonder why you summoned your sons and ministers here?"
Emperor Zhaoxing said nothing, and looked at Taoist Master Zhenyu.
Taoist Master Zhen Yu turned to face the third prince, looking like a master.
"Third Prince, the Emperor has nothing to do with summoning you. He just wants to take some of your blood."
Is there nothing wrong with taking his blood?
The third prince was stunned and almost couldn't stand.
But nothing changed on his face.
"Taking your heart's blood also gives you an opportunity to fulfill your filial piety to the Emperor."
Taoist priest Zhen Yu didn't look sideways and spoke again in a calm tone.
"There is such a good thing!"
The third prince looked happy, looked at Emperor Zhaoxing with burning eyes, and continued excitedly: "Father, it is my honor to serve you as a filial piety."
"Taoist Master, go ahead and take as much as you want. I have thick blood."
In the end, Taoist Master Zhen Yu took some of the Third Prince's hard work and left to refine the elixir.
The envoys from the Taiyuan Hospital stopped the third prince's bleeding and healed his injuries.
After the hospital envoy bandaged him, the third prince respectfully resigned.
Walking out of the palace, the simplicity and simplicity on the third prince's face disappeared for an instant. He reached out and touched his heart, his eyes filled with haze.
Royal study room.
"The third child is a filial man, but it's a pity..."
What a pity, Emperor Zhaoxing did not say anything in the end.
He asked the chief eunuch to call the Minister of Works to inquire about the progress of the construction of the tomb.
In addition to the mausoleum, Emperor Zhaoxing also wanted to build a platform for ascending to immortality.
In the court hall, Emperor Zhaoxing ignored the dissuasion of some ministers and insisted on building the Celestial Immortal Platform.
Is there not enough money in the treasury?
Then increase taxes.
This year everything is going well, but every tax is 10% more. Isn’t it still enough?
The ministers tried to persuade him again, but after Emperor Zhaoxing executed an outstanding figure, no one dared to speak again.
Three days later, Wen Chengyuan, the first assistant, resigned and went into seclusion. Emperor Zhaoxing only made a show of retaining him and agreed to Wen Chengyuan's request.
After retiring into seclusion, Wen Chengyuan returned to his hometown of Yunluo Prefecture.
Gan Lixin, who had been promoted to the magistrate of Yunluo Prefecture, paid a visit to Wen Chengyuan on the day he returned.
Changling Prefecture.
The paper mill has matured and Shu Yingran does not need to go to the paper mill to keep an eye on it.
He has been researching crossbows during this time, and wants to make a crossbow that has a longer range and can hold more crossbow arrows.
Lin Jinglan gathered his troops and secretly mined iron ore and silver mines in a mountain in Changling Prefecture.
He originally chose to vassal Changling Prefecture because he knew that there were silver and iron mines in Changling Prefecture.
Early June.
Shen Baiqiu came back from Tongfang County.
He brought back good news. He passed the examination and was now a child.
Before Shen Baiqiu came back, Shen Zhiyao knew this information through Lin Jinglan's news network.
When Shen Baiqiu came back, she gave Shen Baiqiu the gifts she had prepared and cooked a delicious meal for him.
After that, Shen Zhiyao obtained the right to make wine with official approval and was ready to make wine.
In Daqi, if you want to make wine, you must have the right to make wine approved by the government. Otherwise, you can only buy ready-made wine for sale.
When she had the idea of making wine, she scouted out a place and found people to start building a winery.
Now, the brewery has been built, and she has the manpower in place to start brewing.
She first brewed white wine, using red sorghum as raw material.
The liquor is brewed for a month, and after the grapes in Changling Prefecture and nearby areas mature, the wine is added.
While Shen Zhiyao was busy with the winery, Lin Jinglan got the inspiration to make some destructive weapons from firecrackers, secretly selected some people, and spent all day studying in the mountains.
After Shen Zhiyao knew what he was thinking, he explained the concept of cannon without any trace.
The next day, at the beginning of Mao Shi, Lin Jinglan left the capital of Changling Prefecture and headed for the mountains.
While Lin Jinglan and the others continued to study the cannon, Shen Zhiyao had already formed a caravan to sell the liquor and wine from her winery to various places in Daqi.
The liquor was named Changlingchun and the wine was named Yaolinye.
Years later, before the Lantern Festival, Lin Jinglan came back from the mountains and said "It's done." to Shen Zhiyao and asked her if she wanted to take a look.
Shen Zhiyao nodded and headed to the mountain with Lin Jinglan.
When she saw the formed cannon and the soldiers ignited the cannon and demonstrated it, Shen Zhiyao could imagine what kind of impact these cannons would have if they were taken out in this cold weapon era.
The time is ripe for the artillery to be made.
Beijing.
"Shopkeeper, please bring two altars of Changlingchun!"
"Ever since I drank Changlingchun, I didn't know there was such a strong drink. What we drank before was almost the same as plain water."
"Who says it's not the case? After drinking Changlingchun, I can't drink any other wine."
"I am different from you. I only love Yaolin liquid. I drink a glass of it every day and am as happy as a god."
In the restaurant lobby, Changling Chun and Yaolin Liquid can be seen on tables everywhere.
Once these two wines were sold to the capital, there was a wave of frantic buying in the capital.
People's first choice for entertaining guests has become Changlingchun or Yaolinye.
Some students even wrote countless praising poems for Changlingchun and Yaolinye.
These two wines came from Prince Rui's Mansion in Changling Prefecture, and Emperor Zhaoxing also knew about them.
Before these two wines were sold to Changling Prefecture, Emperor Zhaoxing received discounts from Lin Jinglan and the prefect Zhai of Changling Prefecture.
Lin Jinglan's excerpt basically means one word: poor, very poor!
Changling Prefecture has low tax revenue, and all the melons, fruits and grain produced in the farm given by the emperor were taken away by the former magistrate Bi.
Now he is short of money in various ways and can hardly afford to support just Prince Rui's Mansion.
At the end of the excerpt, he tactfully revealed to Emperor Zhaoxing that he hoped Emperor Zhaoxing would lend some money.
Zhai Zhifu's excerpt tells about Princess Rui selling wine and how she and Prince Rui lived peacefully in Changling Prefecture.
Now that the national treasury is tight, Emperor Zhaoxing will naturally not allocate money to Lin Jinglan.
After reading the memorial, Emperor Zhaoxing didn't care much about Shen Zhiyao's business behavior, which in his opinion was competing with the people for profit.
Now, I didn’t expect that both Changlingchun and Yaolin Liquid were sold to the capital.
His two princes also bought these two wines respectively to honor him.
"cough!"
In the harem, Emperor Zhaoxing was having an affair with his beloved concubine. They had just finished one time. Emperor Zhaoxing was about to spend some time with his beloved concubine. Suddenly, his throat felt itchy and he coughed heavily. Emperor Zhaoxing took his hand from his mouth. When I opened it, I saw a small ball of blood on my palm.
"Your Majesty." Concubine Ai looked at Emperor Zhaoxing worriedly.
Emperor Zhaoxing called the eunuch.
The great eunuch waiting outside the palace came in with pills as usual.
This elixir was made with the blood of the third prince.
After Emperor Zhaoxing took the elixir, he immediately stopped coughing and had no headache. His whole body was full of energy, and he felt that he could come with his beloved concubine seven or eight times again.
Just when Emperor Zhaoxing wanted to show off his majesty, outside the palace, the commander of the imperial army asked to see him.
Emperor Zhaoxing was a little unhappy.
But he also knew that the commander of the imperial army would not come at this juncture for matters that were not important.
So Emperor Zhaoxing, dressed by his beloved concubine, went out to meet the commander of the imperial army.
The first thing the commander of the imperial army said when he saw Emperor Zhaoxing was: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
"What's up?"
Emperor Zhaoxing was calm and relaxed.
The commander of the Imperial Guard lowered his head and said a few words.
Emperor Zhaoxing suddenly changed color, and a mouthful of fishy and sweet taste stuck in his throat.
