Chapter 77 Your Jiuhuang brother is living a very miserable life
Emperor Qianwu thought of the Xiaoyu tea and refined salt he brought this time, and whispered to Gao Dali: "Buy some shops in good locations."
Gao Dali understood, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take care of it right away."
"This matter must be kept confidential."
"Your Majesty, my old servant, you can rest assured!"
The status of scholars, farmers, workers, merchants, and merchants was the lowest.
Even if businessmen were extremely rich, they were not allowed to wear rich clothes or serve as officials in the court. They were discriminated against in every aspect.
Because people felt that merchants did not produce anything themselves and earned money by reselling goods, which did not bring benefits to the country. On the contrary, it made farmers jealous and wanted to do business.
If all the farmers go into business and no one cultivates the land, the foundation of the country will be seriously damaged.
In fact, the powerful people in the DPRK and China secretly have their own industries, but they do not manage them themselves but hire agents.
The powerful and powerful people all tacitly agree on this kind of thing. In fact, they still look down on merchants and think that scholars are the most noble.
If the emperor's business activities were known to the dignitaries in the court and the world's scholars, he would surely be laughed at and criticized as competing for profits with the people, which would affect the emperor's prestige.
Emperor Wu knew all these things, but his internal funds were even emptier than the national treasury, and the palace expenses were huge, so he had to find ways to make money.
After all, who wouldn’t like a life like the Emperor’s Suite at the Peace Hotel?
Soon, the dragon chariot arrived at the palace.
The queen had already led the harem concubines, princes and princesses to greet him at the palace gate.
"Welcome to your Majesty to return to the palace. May your Majesty be blessed!"
Empress Murong, wearing a phoenix crown and phoenix robe, with a gentle smile on her face, fully displays the temperament of a graceful and noble mother who cares about the world.
Although she is middle-aged, she is well-maintained, with delicate skin and delicate facial features. If you ignore the fine lines on her neck, she is as good as a young woman in her twenties.
The queen was born into a famous family, well-educated and intelligent. She once followed Emperor Qianwu to conquer the world and had a deep affection for him.
When the world was settled, Emperor Qianwu appointed her as his queen and mother-in-law to honor the world. She managed the harem in an orderly manner and was deeply loved by Emperor Qianwu.
Although her appearance and figure are not as good as before, Emperor Qianwu's love for her has not diminished at all. He is extremely trusting and has absolute authority in the harem.
With a smile on his face, Emperor Qianwu stepped forward to help Queen Murong up and said gently: "Queen, why do you need to perform such a grand ceremony?"
Then he said calmly to the many concubines and princes behind him: "Let's all get flat."
At this time, little Changning, whom she had not seen for a long time, stretched out her arms and sweetly shouted: "Mother, Changning misses you so much!"
As he spoke, he spread his arms and ran over with a smile on his face.
Empress Murong showed a doting smile, leaned down, spread her arms, and hugged Chang Ning, her eyes full of love: "My mother misses you too!"
Then he looked at it carefully and said with some distress: "Chang Ning has lost weight!"
Seeing so many concubines, princes and princesses, Emperor Qianwu was overjoyed. He laughed and said, "It's been a long journey, so it's normal to lose some weight."
Empress Murong nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, you have been tired from traveling all the way. Please come to the palace and take a rest."
"Well, after I've been away for a few days, will the harem still be peaceful?"
"The harem is peaceful, and many princes and princesses are fine. Your Majesty, you can relax."
"Haha, thank you Queen for your hard work."
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? This is what it should be."
The two chatted while walking. When they got to the palace, Queen Murong bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen Jianye for a long time. Can you let him stay in the palace and talk to me?"
Throughout the imperial dynasties, the prince had to leave the palace and build a palace when he came of age. He was not allowed to stay in the palace without the emperor's will.
Even if the queen wants to keep the adult prince, she must obtain the emperor's consent.
Li Jianye was born to Empress Murong and had been working in Anding County before. Mother and son had not seen each other for a long time, so they naturally would not refuse and said with a smile: "Of course."
Then he turned to look at Li Jianye and said meaningfully: "Serve your mother well and don't say anything to make your mother angry. Do you understand?"
Li Jianye understood and understood that Emperor Qianwu meant not to let him tell anything about Baishi City, so he bowed and said, "Father, don't worry."
Empress Murong had been with Emperor Qianwu for so many years and knew him very well, and she immediately saw the deep meaning in his eyes.
When they arrived at the palace, Emperor Qianwu went to take a bath and change clothes to prepare for rest. Empress Murong stopped accompanying her and called Li Jianye to Fengyi Palace.
"Jianye, how was your visit to Huangfu?" Queen Murong asked with a smile.
"It's not bad. I saw a lot of customs and customs that I haven't seen before, I also saw evil beasts, I ate some local specialties, and I took Changning out for a while." Li Jianye replied in a decent manner, without taking Changning with him. The queen mother was worried when she told her about running out to Changlinpo to hunt evil beasts, and she did not tell her about going to Baishi City.
Empress Murong nodded slightly and said seriously: "Well, among the many princes, your father only took you with him on this trip. This shows that he has high hopes for you. It is good to go out more. You have to work hard and make progress. Mo You will live up to your father's high hopes."
"Don't worry, mother, your son will live up to your expectations." Li Jianye nodded.
"By the way, I remember that your Nine Emperors brother Li Changfeng is in Baishi City under the rule of Huangfu. Has Your Majesty ever gone to visit him?" Empress Murong suddenly looked into Li Jianye's eyes and asked.
Thinking of the gesture in Emperor Qianwu's eyes before, Li Jianye hesitated for a moment and said with a somewhat evasive look: "I have never gone."
Hearing this, Queen Murong's eyes flashed and she took a deep look at Li Jianye.
As the empress of Fengyi Tianxia, she could always preside over the stability of the harem. How could she be just an ordinary person? Naturally, it was obvious that Li Jianye was not telling the truth, but she did not expose it. After all, it was Emperor Qianwu's intention.
Li Jianye lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
Empress Murong sighed softly and said: "Your Nine Emperor Brother is also pitiful. Because he has the blood of the previous dynasty and was not favored, and what happened back then, your father had no choice but to send him to Baishi."
In a barbaric place like the city, I must have lived a very miserable life over the years."
Having said this, Empress Murong paused for a moment, her tone became much higher, and she warned: "Count on the time, he will return to Beijing next year to report on his duties. You must get along well with him, remember?"
Li Jianye's face twitched.
Poor Brother Nine Emperors?
Living a very poor life?
What a joke!
Even my father, as the king of a country, was not as good as the Nine Emperor Brothers in terms of food, clothing, and entertainment.
Especially the Peace Hotel and Heaven and Earth, they are simply luxurious and luxurious to the extreme, even the imperial palace cannot compare.
If Brother Jiuhuang is pitiful, there will be no pitiable people in this world!
As for getting along well, there is no need to remind him, he is still thinking about those exciting programs and one-stop service.
He had already made up his mind that he must have a good relationship with the Nine Emperor Brothers.
Seeing his expression, Empress Murong thought that Li Jianye had not listened, and immediately her face darkened, and she said angrily: "Do you also look down on your Nine Emperors brothers and don't listen to my words?"
Li Jianye quickly shook his head and denied: "It's nothing, I just thought about the poverty of Brother Jiuhuang, and I was a little distracted for a while!"
