Qi Ho Extra (117)

In the twelfth year of Xuande, the imperial court issued a decree to lift the sea ban, and Wacheng was renamed Haikou and opened to the outside world. Fan people can come to the Ming Dynasty, but they can only do activities in the Haikou area, and they cannot go to the inland without the government's permission.

In the fourteenth year of Xuande, the imperial court launched a war against the Donghu people. After three years of fighting, the Donghu people were beaten to the point of surrender. All of a sudden, the whole court praised Qi Hao. And Zao Zao, Megatron the world.

On the first day of the new year, Qihao took Tan Aoshuang, his three sons and one daughter to Baihuayuan to visit Yunqing and Yuxi.

Since the old couple moved to Baihuayuan, the three Qihao brothers would bring their wives and children here for dinner on the 15th and 30th days of every month. As for the concubine's room and the children of the concubine, they cannot be brought. Otherwise, the consequences will be serious.

Last year Brother Xuan brought his beloved concubine daughter to Baihuayuan to meet Yuxi. As a result, Yuxi saw him and scolded him until he knelt on the ground to admit his mistake, and even copied the filial piety scriptures a thousand times after returning home.

These three days of each month are the days that Yunqing is happiest and most looking forward to. And today is no exception.

After lunch, Yuxi said to Qihao: "Follow me out for a walk." In fact, Yuxi wanted to talk to Qihao after Zaozao came back with the news that Wang Huo from Donghu had been arrested. It's just that Qihao didn't take the initiative to come, and Yuxi has been patient.

Everyone present knew that Yu Xi had something to say to Qi Hao, and everyone wisely didn't follow.

Meilan had already cleared the place ahead of time, so when the mother and son walked to the garden, there was no one on the road.

Yuxi caressed a blooming crabapple flower, and asked: "The trade in Haikou is getting bigger and bigger, the taxes are increasing, and the profits of merchant ships are also getting bigger and bigger. Donghu will not be able to make waves in thirty years. Ah Hao , Do you feel that you have accomplished a lot?"

Qi Hao shook his head and said, "Mother, the wars in the past few years have cost a lot of money, with more than half a million casualties. Without twenty years, you can't fully recover. Mother, if you want all the people in the world to live and work in peace, there is a long way to go."

"Well, mother is very pleased that you have this consciousness." She was afraid that Qi Hao would become exhilarated by the praise and lose his vigilance.

As an emperor, one must always be vigilant. Only in this way can he be corrupted by his courtiers. Otherwise, if there is a slight deviation, the consequences will be disastrous. Many emperors in history started to work hard to govern, but in the middle they slacked off and indulged in pleasure. In the end, either the country died or he was killed.

Qihao smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry, I know." Actually, he was a little complacent before coming to Baihuayuan, but he calmed down as soon as he stepped into the door.

Yuxi nodded and said: "In the past three years, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed or injured.

Great pain to their families. The children of these martyrs must be taken care of. "Actually, with the pensions given by the imperial court and a lot of Buddha photos, as long as you don't meet a cruel and ruthless woman like Lu Bai's biological mother, you can still live on.

Qi Hao hurriedly nodded and said, "I've assigned someone to handle this matter."

"I have eighteen million taels of silver here, you can use it!" Fighting is fighting for national strength. After fighting for three years, Yunqing and Yuxi's hard-earned foundation is gone, and so many people have been lost. Therefore, Qi Hao must be short of money when he is breastfeeding.

After finishing speaking, Yu Xi explained: "Boy Tian has been taking care of my business these years. After more than ten years, I have accumulated this money." This number is not too much.

Qihao was taken aback, and then instinctively refused: "Mother, how can I use your money. You can save this money and spend it yourself!"

"Take it from the people and use it for the people. Besides, your father and I don't have any money to use." In the past, Tian Yang gave her the money she earned from doing business, and she spent it on court affairs.

Qihao's money is really tight now, so he didn't refuse anymore. At that moment, he said another thing to Yuxi: "Mother, I am going to let Qirui go to Yunnan. Mother, what do you think?" Three years ago, Qirui went to Tongcheng as he wished, and then played Donghu together with Zaozao people.

"You are the emperor, you decide how to arrange them." After saying this, Yuxi still added: "But it's best to tell your father about this. If not, I will scold you again."

"I see."

The mother and son talked for a long time before returning to the yard. As soon as Yun Qing saw Qi Hao, he said, "Brother Sheng is already seventeen years old, you should also put his marriage on the agenda." He mentioned it to Yu Xi many times, but Yu Xi said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Let them take their course, he won't care.

Yun Qing almost twisted his nose in anger. How can the great matter of holding a great-grandson go with the flow!

Qi Hao hurriedly admitted his mistake, saying that there were too many things in the past few years and he couldn't take care of Brother Sheng's affairs: "I plan to hold an audition in spring next year, and choose the princess from among them."

"Within three years, I will have a great-grandson."

"OK."

After Qi Hao left, Yun Qing complained: "There have been a lot of things in the past few years, Qi Hao is busy with government affairs and has no time to take care of Brother Sheng's marriage. Why didn't Mrs. Tan, a mother, help her look earlier? ?”

Yuxi laughed and said: "Qihao will take care of this matter, just leave it alone? Let's go, I'll accompany you to go outside for a while."

When Qi Hao went back, he talked to Tan Aoshuang about this matter: "Now there is still time for the draft in May and September." In the next year, his father will be able to hug his great-grandson. Of course, the great-granddaughter's father also likes it.

Tan Aoshuang hesitated for a while and said: "Your Majesty, there is something that I have never known how to tell you."

Looking at this expression, Qi Hao knew it was not a good thing: "Say it!"

Tan Aoshuang said: "Brother Sheng said a few days ago that he wanted to marry Rumeng, but I refused at that time. But I was afraid that he would not give up, knowing that he would ask you in front of the draft." This Rumeng was Tan Aoshuang's niece. Because of praising her natal family, Tan Aoshuang often called Rumeng into the palace to accompany her. As for Brother Sheng, he would go to Kunning Palace to pay her respects every day. After going back and forth, the two met their eyes.

Many people like their nieces from their natal families to be their daughter-in-laws. On the one hand, the nieces and nephews are easy to get along with, and on the other hand, the relationship with their natal families is getting closer. It happened that brother Sheng and Rumeng liked each other, and she also wanted to make this a good thing come true.

Qi Hao frowned and said: "If you ask me, I won't agree." Tan Aoshuang is already a queen, if the future princess is still from the Tan family, a bad thing will cause foreign relatives to monopolize power.

What Tan Aoshuang said just now was just to test Qihao's attitude. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be what she thought, and the emperor had already started to shy away from the Tan family.

Qi Hao didn't care about what Tan Aoshuang thought, and said: "For the draft, an imperial decree will be issued in these two days! You should also take care of this matter."

Tan Aoshuang said: "Your Majesty, after Brother Sheng's marriage is finalized, Jing Shu and Chang Sheng's marriage should also be finalized!" Years old. It's time for the two of them to get married.

Qi Hao didn't respond, but said: "We'll wait until Brother Sheng's marriage is finalized." He had to ask Jing Shu's opinion first, and if he agreed, the marriage between the two would be finalized. If he does not agree, he will not grant the marriage.

Jing Shu didn't want to marry, and forced her to marry. Not only would her own life be bad, but her longevity would also be harmed.

Tan Aoshuang didn't think too much about it, anyway, in her opinion, the matter between Chang Sheng and Jing Shu was firmly established.
