In the evening, several captains of the Qinglong Guard gathered in Zhuangzi to report on the recent movements in the government and the public, as well as some specific inquiries.
"The King of Jin is now announcing in a big way that he will increase military expenditures. The military generals believe his words and say that they are waiting for the winter this year to change their military uniforms, improve military rations, and pay more military pay. Now the military morale is inspired by him, and most of the military generals admire him. It’s amazing, he is so proud now.”
Nangong Yitian remained silent after hearing these reports.
Yi Qing, the captain of the second team, asked: "Your Highness, do we need to do anything? If this continues, all the generals will submit to him, which will be a great threat to you."
"Yes, if the military spending plan is really passed, Your Highness, he will become a popular and powerful prince."
Nangong Yitian pondered for a moment and said: "Well, something really needs to be done. Go and tell Mu Zhi and ask him to follow suit and talk more about increasing military spending in the army so that everyone can look forward to it."
"Your Highness..." Yi Qing was taken aback and wanted to persuade him again, but Master Wei said from the side: "Go ahead, do whatever His Highness asks you to do, Your Highness knows it well."
Yi Qing had no choice but to take the order and leave with the people.
Nangong Yitian drank the tea in the cup and asked, "Where is the Crown Princess?"
"The Crown Princess is fishing at night by the lake." Master Wei said with a smile.
"Eh? You didn't wait for me." He immediately stood up and strode off to find his wife.
Master Wei also followed. Neither of them said anything about King Jin. They knew how big the tiger skin was when it was stretched, and how big the crack would be when it was broken.
The emperor will not agree, but if the emperor agrees, it will be a good thing for the country and the people.
So, no worries.
When they got to the lake, Leng Xiao had already harvested a lot. There were half a bucket of fish in the iron bucket, and they were jumping around.
Nangong Yitian hugged her from behind, "Why aren't you waiting for me?"
"I don't know when you are going to talk about...when." Leng Xiao turned around, kissed him on the cheek, and said happily: "Look at my results, not to mention the fish soup, I even prepared the dried fish. .”
"Let me come." Nangong Yitian walked around and sat down, shouting to Ape, "dig some good earthworms for me, I want to catch big fish."
Ape smiled and said: "You might as well just go down to the lake and catch them. You don't know where your skills are? You haven't caught much in the past two days. It's all the work of the Crown Princess."
"Ape, you're not married yet. Whenever I want to change my mind and object, it's still too late. Do you want to try?" Nangong Yitian stretched out his long legs, raised his head and glared with the overwhelming aura of the emperor.
While squatting on the grass to dig for earthworms, Ape said with a smile: "His Majesty, the Crown Prince, used such tactics as threats. It's so shameless."
"Ape is getting more and more bold." Nangong Yitian couldn't help complaining to Leng Xiao, "You don't care, just control her mouth."
"You can take care of it yourself, I don't want Ling Xiu to settle the score with me." Leng Xiao said with a smile.
"He doesn't dare!" Nangong Yitian took the fishing rod and stared at the water with wide eyes. There was insufficient light in the water, but he had sharp eyes and could detect any movement immediately.
"Come on!" He immediately straightened his expression and stared at the buoy with all his attention.
Leng Xiao said from the side: "It's time to get up."
He raised his wrist and raised the fishing rod, and a carp weighing at least five kilograms was caught. Nangong Yitian was so happy that he got up and pulled the fish ashore. He happily said to Leng Xiao, "Look, can you do it?"
Leng Xiao gave a thumbs up, "Awesome!"
Apei came over to help, netted the carp, unhooked the fish, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you have avenged your shame this time."
"As long as you have patience, what kind of fish can't be caught?" Nangong Yitian sat down again and started to throw the rod out.
Master Wei stood far away and also laughed.
Well, the fact that His Highness is most addicted to fishing has probably reached the ears of the Emperor.
