Did the father specially summon them to the palace in the middle of the night just for some medicinal herbs?
I'm afraid the drunkard's intention is not the wine, the medicinal herbs are not important, the important thing is the placement of the wounded soldiers, and the father really still wants to increase military expenditures.
Thinking that he was no longer in charge of the Jingwei Army, he had no money to donate to the increase in military expenditures.
King Jin frowned slightly, looking unconcerned.
Zhou Qian secretly smiled: Lao Shi was calm, but it could be seen that Lao Shi didn't have a good impression of the Ning family, or he didn't care about the wounded soldiers at all.
He looked at King Kang again.
King Kang's brows were furrowed, and his thoughtful look seemed to be troubled, but his expression remained unchanged. It was better than the usual situation when he summoned the Fourteenth to investigate national affairs and kept silent and huddled in the corner when something happened. Much more.
"Father, if there is such a herb, it can not only be used on wounded soldiers, but also be of great benefit to the people of Daxing. What kind of herb is this?"
King Kang was reminded by Su Peiyuan and met his father who specially offered him a seat. He knew that his opportunity had come and he no longer had to pretend to be a grandson.
When it's time to export, you must not fall behind King Jin.
King Jin was originally not interested in this herbal medicine, and he didn't want the Ning family to be in the limelight in front of his father anymore, so it wasn't that he didn't steal it from King Kang, but he didn't intend to pay attention to it at all.
At this time, when King Kang spoke first, he said with a smile: "It is not known whether this herb has such miraculous effects. The fourteenth brother does not need to rush to ask for credit for the Ning family. It will also be of great benefit to the people of Daxing. There are countless medicines in Daxing, and there are even more prescriptions that can cure injuries and bone diseases. It’s hard to say whether the people of Daxing are willing to use these herbal medicines.”
It can be said that King Jin hated Ning Wuhuang and the Ning family who could not be won over.
Naturally, King Kang would not be allowed to always speak kind words for the Ning family in front of his father and create an image for the Ning family that no matter what he did, it would be beneficial to Daxing.
Zhou Qian looked at Prince Jin with great interest, who was so resistant to the Ning family, and his eyes still stayed on Prince Kang.
He wanted to see if King Kang and the Ning family were as innocent as stated in the investigation.
"What Tenth Brother said is absolutely true. It is the people's freedom whether they are willing to use the herbs discovered by the Ning family. I am just curious about this herb. I have no intention of asking for credit for the Ning family. It is up to my father to comment on the merits and demerits. .”
King Kang wanted to refute King Jin's words, but he didn't know anything about this herb. At this time, he would say more and make more mistakes. In order to prevent King Jin from getting caught, he could only settle the matter.
"Humph, the fourteenth brother is good at mixing mud. If you are interested in this herb, why don't you ask the fourteenth brother to study this herb specifically? It just so happens that the fourteenth brother is injured and is recovering at home."
King Jin dug a pit.
Just now, Su Peiyuan specifically asked King Kang whether he was cured, not just casually.
It is most likely that his father wanted King Kang to return to work in the court. Maybe he would be reused in order to make up for his previous injuries and fright.
Since King Kang is on good terms with the Ning family, wouldn't it be appropriate to help the Ning family gain another credit?
Prince Kang was naturally well aware of Prince Jin's plans. Just as he was about to decline, he caught sight of the profound smile on his father's face from the corner of his eye, and he suddenly came back to his senses.
its not right.
If they were just ordinary herbs, why would their father summon them to the palace in the middle of the night?
But he was also worried that this was a test from his father. If they took a wrong step forward, there would be no turning back.
"Old Fourteen hesitated again."
Seeing that King Kang was silent, Zhou Qian shook his head helplessly and sighed softly.
"Don't look forward and backward when things happen. It's right to think twice before you act, but sometimes you need the courage to make a desperate move."
It's a pity that the Fourteenth has not developed such courage so far, so this errand cannot be directly left to the Fourteenth.
With this in mind, Zhou Qian waved to King Jin.
"Old Ten, come and see if this tobacco is worth it for your Fourteenth Brother to put down everything he is doing and study it."
I couldn't tell whether these words were good or bad. King Jin stepped forward with mixed joy and sorrow, still praying in his heart. This was a test by his father, to judge which one of him or King Kang was more suitable to get out of the palace. Or let the confinement be lifted and leave the house.
He had even thought about how to attack King Kang's faction after leaving the house.
However, when he read the contents of the memorial, he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
"Haha, when you, Lao Shi, questioned the Ning family just now, you didn't expect the result to be like this."
When Zhou Qian saw his son who usually kept his thoughts to himself and behaved domineeringly, his face completely changed. He did not hide his shock and regret and laughed unkindly.
Seeing this, King Kang couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up immediately and bowed his hands: "Why are you laughing, father?"
"Haha, Old Fourteen, if you want to see the memorial, just say so. Come on, Old Ten, give this memorial to Old Fourteen, and make him happy."
After receiving the order, King Jin reluctantly handed the memorial in his hand to King Kang.
When he turned around to look at King Kang, King Jin couldn't hide the look of envy and jealousy on his face.
This made King Kang look confused: What's wrong?
How had the honorary darling of King Jin's family ever shown such a look towards him?
What is written in this memorial?
With full of doubts, King Kang almost took the memorial from King Jin's hand and browsed it carefully.
After seeing the contents clearly, he took a deep breath and was about to kneel down and shout a few slogans. When he realized that he no longer had to put on airs and pretend to be the incompetent and incompetent prince, King Kang closed the memorial and asked Zhou Qian for his life: " Father, I am willing to lead the Taiyuan Hospital and the Department of Agriculture to study this herbal medicine as my tenth brother said."
Grass!
King Jin almost fell down due to King Kang's move and was so angry that he fell down.
When he saw the memorial, he regretted that he had spoken so quickly and wanted to give this overwhelming wealth to King Kang.
Now seeing King Kang shamelessly asking for merit, he was naturally not to be outdone: "Father, these herbal medicines are related to our national destiny. We must not jump to conclusions so easily. Just now...just now I had a fight with my fourteenth brother. It’s a joke, I’m asking for punishment, but I’m also willing to work for my father when it comes to researching herbal medicine, so I hope my father will do it!”
When it comes to competing for favor and credit, the King of Jin is always willing to give in. When faced with such a thing, he doesn't even hesitate.
When Zhou Qian established the crown prince and crown prince, he naturally did not want other sons to be so eager to contribute to the great rejuvenation of the country.
But now that there is no legitimate son to become the crown prince and heirloom, and when there is a fight for it, he will naturally give his sons this opportunity.
"Old Ten, Old Fourteen, you are very positive, but you have got the whole point of this herb wrong. It is a herb, but it has the characteristics of safe wine. It is a consumable object that can be used by everyone. Its I don’t think the efficacy of the medicine is important. What’s important is how to increase their production and income, so that they can become the mainstay of my Daxing taxation in the shortest possible time.”
After hearing what you said, King Jin and King Kang suddenly realized.
yes.
Its efficacy in curing pain is limited to patients, but the memorial says it can refresh the mind, but it can be used by everyone.
In this case, the Ning family, which has the clearest understanding of it, has a very high say in the herbal medicine called tobacco. If they want to increase tobacco production and income, they will most likely have to ask the Ning family how to do it.
Luckily for King Kang, he had shown his goodwill towards the Ning family from the beginning. In addition, Zhou Jingxian was on good terms with Ning Wuchang, so it was easy to contact him.
It's just a pain to King Jin.
Just now, he was sparing no effort to suppress the Ning family, but now there was such a reversal. Coupled with Zhou An and Ning Wuyan's private feud... King Jin completely changed his mentality at this time.
