Faced with his father's sudden question, King Jin did not think it was a simple question.
Because he knew that his father made decisions and no one else was allowed to comment.
This is a question that could cost the throne.
Guessing his father's intentions, it is actually not difficult to see that his father valued Ning Wuhuang and the Ning family very much. In addition, he did not want to give the Ning family's great help to King Kang, even if Zhou An and Ning Wuhuang had a feud. , at this time, you must obey your father.
"Going back to my father, I believe that what Cheng Shangshu said is very true. The Ning family is a loyal family. Giving it a plaque will encourage others to follow suit, so that our country can prosper."
When King Kang saw that King Jin ignored the past and actually awarded such a great honor to the Ning family, he felt both admiration and helplessness.
Because if the father accepted King Jin's proposal at this time and spread the word, it would be said that this reward was obtained by King Jin for the Ning family.
Girl Jingxian said that the Ning family had no intention of taking sides, but in the face of such a favor, how could the Ning family accept it unconditionally?
In the end, it was my father who favored Brother Ten, so he gave Brother Ten the opportunity to win over the Ning family.
King Jin thought so too.
He just thought that his father had found out that he had begged the Supervisor of the Agriculture Department in every possible way, and he rewarded him once. He stood on the spot with the memorial, his back straightened, his momentum strengthened, and he waited for his father. Formulate an imperial edict.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qian asked King Kang as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Old Fourteen, what do you think?"
"..."
King Kang hesitated subconsciously for a moment. After seeing Zhou Qian's brows frowning slightly, he didn't have time to think carefully and spoke the truth smoothly.
"I believe that my father had previously granted the title of Pardoning Lady to all the ladies of the Ning family in order to prepare a recipe for making wine. Such an honor is already rare and is enough to prove that my father values the Ning family. This time, tobacco seeds If you are anxious to award a reward before you arrive in Beijing, if anything goes wrong...I am afraid that in the future, everyone will be eager to offer gifts without being thorough. Do you think that if you offer Father Fang, you will be rewarded in a big way?"
As soon as these words came out.
Cheng Zhizhen, who just proposed a reward, took a deep look at King Kang and showed a playful smile.
At this time, King Kang couldn't care less about whether he had refuted Shangshu Cheng's face or whether Shangshu Cheng would give him small shoes in the future.
Rather, he felt that tobacco had not yet been successfully grown on a large scale in the country, and the issue of increasing taxes was just talk on paper, and this trend should not be encouraged.
"Okay, then according to the wishes of the Fourteenth, the reward for the Ning family will be postponed for the time being until the tobacco and seeds are transported to the capital. If successful, the reward will be given again."
Zhou Qian affirmed King Kang's proposal without hesitation.
This surprised King Kang and at the same time he vaguely guessed his father's true intention.
The father may not have thought about lavishly rewarding the Ning family from the beginning, so was this test to test whether he or the tenth brother had a better relationship with the Ning family, or was it something else?
When King Jin saw that his father affirmed King Kang and denied himself, he also thought of this and his face suddenly became ugly.
Be anxious!
Because of the mistake Zhou An made, he was eager to make amends with the Ning family, but instead revealed his intention to win over the Ning family.
The two of them were speculating on the holy meaning.
Zhou Qian said quietly: "The Ning family is a house of loyalty, and Ning Wuyi is the pillar of the country. When he recovers from his injury, I will announce that he will come to the capital to meet him. This son is not a thing in the pond. I have decided to let him enter the study. Pope Sun, together with the poems of the officials’ sons and daughters, was appointed as Mr. Royal. Do you understand what I mean?”
I heard the title Mr. Royal again.
Before Xu Jidao became the governor of Jiangnan Province, several people present might not be able to distinguish the intention of these words.
Knowing that Xu Jidao, who wanted to be named Mr. Royal after taking office, was originally from the emperor, no one understood what this meant.
The eyes of the five ministers first fell on King Jin, who had just said that he wanted to grant a great title to the Ning family, and then looked at King Kang approvingly.
Your Majesty means to tell these two princes.
Your Majesty has taken a liking to the Ning family. No matter how much the two princes argue, don't blame the Ning family.
Ning Wuhao is going to be a disciple of the Emperor!
The Gate of Heaven can reward you even more than a plaque of loyalty!
Faced with the beatings from his father, King Jin first admitted his mistake: "Father, please rest assured. Not to mention your grandsons at home, even your sons and ministers want to hear Ning Shixian's poetry in person."
"Hmph, haven't you heard enough of Anhou Yanloule's poems?"
King Jin's face burned when Zhou An was mentioned in front of so many people.
It was the first time that Zhou An was so severely criticized by his father.
Comparing this with his father's concern for Zhou Jingxian just now, there is something else that King Jin doesn't understand.
"Please rest assured, Father, I have sent my men to take Zhou An back to the capital. When he comes back, I will train him well. When he meets Ning Shixian again, he will definitely impress Ning Shixian. "
"I hope so."
Zhou Qian didn't care about personal grudges, as long as Zhou An's matter didn't affect Ning Wuhuang's good impression of the royal children.
After all, Xu Jidao said that although Ning Wuhuang valued the Ning family, he was unrestrained and unrestrained in his work. If he wanted such a person to work for Daxing willingly, he could not force him, so he had to do what he wanted.
The imperial study became quiet for a while.
Zhou Qian didn't know what he was thinking about, and was slightly in a trance.
The others looked at each other and did not dare to disturb.
I don’t know how long it took, but the Minister of Tohoku’s legs felt numb even while standing, and he couldn’t help but yawned again.
"Aha~~"
Zhou Qian suddenly came to his senses and blurted out.
"Old Ten, Old Fourteen, the tobacco issue is of great importance. We must not let small losses lead to harming our national destiny."
This time, Ji Shangshu looked at King Jin together.
The reason why he didn't look at King Kang was that he didn't have the ability to gather so many killers, and he didn't have the courage to rob and kill the convoy transporting officers and soldiers.
But King Jin... The last time King Kang went hunting with His Majesty, he was almost trampled to death by a random horse. It wasn't long ago.
When Prince Jin faced everyone's gaze, he looked confused and a little at a loss. He simply knelt down and kowtowed.
"Father, please rest assured, I will definitely keep this in mind!"
"Okay, let's all go down and have a rest. We'll call it a day. Ji Aiqing will stay. Look where you can dispatch a thousand elite soldiers to pick up Girl Xian's motorcade."
A thousand elite soldiers escorted eleven carts of tobacco seeds, which showed that Zhou Gan knew from the bottom of his heart that Ning Wuhao's words were true.
King Jin and King Kang walked out of the imperial study and suddenly heard the Minister of Hubu muttering to himself, who had been yawning.
"I don't know which of the twelve Taoist temples is so unlucky that the tobacco seeds were burned. There are only eleven carts of this kind of tobacco left. I'm afraid no one will be happy to use it."
As soon as these words came out.
Both of them were shocked.
The odds are one out of twelve, whoever gets hit will be unlucky.
If there were no tobacco seeds, wouldn't their competition end before it even started?
"Fourteenth Brother, did my father just say which Taoist car was burned?"
King Kang thought for a moment, shook his head, and answered very firmly.
"Father never made it clear."
"Fourteenth brother, you are really not qualified to be a father. Why don't you write to ask Jingxian if she is injured? Is she tired from the road? Is she hungry? Is any car broken down?"
