After everyone talked in the political hall for a while, the sky darkened, and the light in the room. Chao Gai saw Li De, the personal eunuch, coming in to light the lamp, and said with a smile: "No need to be busy. Everyone has been tired for a day. Let's go back and rest. The rest will be done." We¡¯ll deal with it tomorrow.¡±
Wu Yong and others also stood up and left.
Chao Yong saw Wang Jin and Wu Song walking out together and suddenly said: "Master Wang, wait a moment."
Wang Jin stopped and asked, "What are the prince's orders?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I'm afraid you no longer know whose house you used to own. Please ask the emperor to give you a house."
Zhang Shuye had just walked a few steps and was stunned when he heard that Chao Yong was so caring for his subordinates, almost like a polite corporal.
Wang Jin heard this and said hurriedly: "If you don't get any reward for your efforts, I will just go back and buy a house."
Chao Gai smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. I have taken over many houses from corrupt officials and people from the Zhao family these days. In addition to the ones that were given to everyone, there are still some that are vacant. Let Li De take you to choose one."
Wang Jin saw that the emperor had already issued the decree, and he did not dare to refuse anymore. He said respectfully: "Thank you, the emperor, for the reward."
After everyone had left, Chao Gai stood up and said, "Yanfu Palace has been changed to the Prince's Palace according to your wishes. Sanniang is also there. You have been running around for many days, so go back and rest early."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "I'll go see my mother and then go back."
Chao Gai nodded and said: "That's good, your mother hasn't seen you for a long time."
The father and son left the political hall and went to the harem.
Chao Yong couldn't help but said: "Dad, I think the child has gone too far. Why didn't he let Li Gang go?"
Chao Gai smiled and said: "Sooner or later, the world will belong to you. Killing Li Gang was the first decision you made in Tokyo. How could I overturn it? As the emperor, I also have to consider the prestige of the prince. Besides, I didn't I think you have done something wrong. In the past, to establish prestige in the world, you have to kill chickens to scare monkeys. This trick is obviously effective in the court. However, if you want to be an emperor, you need to be more tactful and decisive in killing. These dads are still learning, it¡¯s not easy to be an emperor.¡±
Chao Yong scratched his head and said with a smile: "What dad said is true, but I'm afraid I can't change my temper, and I won't be able to become an emperor."
Chao Gai glared at Chao Yong and said: "If you can't be the emperor, who will be? It's hard for our father and son to conquer the country. You also asked me to pass the throne to others."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "If dad has other princes in the future, he can also pass it on to other princes, or he can directly pass it on to his grandson in the future."
Chao Gai said angrily: "I have rewarded all the concubines in the harem to the ministers, and there will be no more princes in the future. If you don't want to be the emperor, just go back and work hard to have a son. Otherwise, it will take a few years. , I want to abdicate, your son has not grown up yet, and you will still be the emperor. If you dare to defeat our Chao family, I will break your legs. "
Chao Yong smiled dryly and said: "Don't worry, dad, I will work hard when I get back. I will definitely let dad have his grandson next year."
But Chao Gai said seriously: "Our Chao family is very small, so you have to work hard to spread the branches and leaves of our Chao family. Aren't there many concubines from Zhao Ji in Yanfu Palace? There are also some concubines from various palaces. Let's look back. A reward for you. I want to see at least five grandsons born next year, otherwise I will take care of my family."
Chao Yong suffered a lot from Chao Gai's family when he was a child. His butt still hurt when he thought about it, so he hurriedly said: "I promise to complete the task."
Chao Yong didn¡¯t find this job difficult, as long as there were enough women. Just work harder, not to mention that most men are eager to work hard.
Thinking of the many beauties hidden in the palace. Chao Yong is inevitably a little passionate.
Chao Gai saw that Chao Yong agreed, and then he said: "I appointed the Commander of Ten Thousands, and you will make adjustments if you don't think it is suitable. You will be responsible for all military affairs."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Dad has chosen reliable people from Liangshan, I have no objection."
When I arrived at the harem, I saw that the entire harem was dark, with only the Funing Hall in front having lights.
Chao Yong asked curiously: "Dad, you won't even beat away those eunuchs and maids, right?"
Chao Gai nodded and said: "There are only me and your mother in the harem, so there is no need for so many people to serve. I kept dozens of people, and the rest were sent to your uterus. You go back and choose some suitable ones to keep." , let them go home with the remaining money, those eunuchs and maids are also poor people. "
Seeing how simple Chao Gai was, Chao Yong felt embarrassed and said, "Then I'll beat more people out of the palace later."
Chao Gai smiled and said: "I don't care about this. I allocate 10,000 yuan to the palace every year. You can't pay less for the maids and eunuchs, and you can't do what those corrupt officials do. You must be able to hire more Some people, the common people can still have more money,?You've got it. "
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Ten thousand guan is enough."
Chao Gai smiled and said: "You will know if it is enough to turn back, but every time you give birth to a grandson, I can give you an additional thousand guan."
Chao Yong said dissatisfied: "I and so many people only have 10,000 guan in total, and an emperor's grandson only has 1,000 guan. Dad must be too partial."
Chao Gai smiled and said: "The emperor's grandson will be the emperor in the future, so naturally there will be more. If you don't still need to have emperor's grandson, I will let you establish your own business and support yourself."
The father and son had already entered Funing Hall while they were chatting and joking.
When Queen He saw Chao Yong, she smiled and said, "When did Yong'er come back?"
Chao Yong smiled and said, "I just came back."
Mrs. He inquired for a while, and seeing that the eunuch had already brought the dinner, she said, "Yong'er, come and have dinner with us."
Chao Gai said: "He is covered in dust, let him go back. Sanniang is also waiting for him to come back."
Hearing what Chao Gai said, Mrs. He said: "Then Yong'er, you go back, my mother will visit you tomorrow."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "Sanniang and I will come to see my mother."
However, Mrs. He warned: "Feng'er is still young. She just came to Tokyo from Qingzhou. Fortunately, she didn't catch the wind and cold. But she can't go out anymore recently. If Mom misses her, just go there by yourself. The scenery over there is good, too. Mom can go and relax."
Chao Gai also said: "Zhao Ji is not good at governing the world, but he is good at building palaces and gardens. Yanfu Palace has mountains and lakes, and it also raises many rare and exotic animals. It is much more lively than this palace."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Yanfu Palace was originally a place for the emperor to play, and it was later expanded a lot by Zhao Ji. The scenery is naturally very good, and my parents came to visit when they had free time. By the way, there is also Gen Yue, although It¡¯s not finished yet, but it¡¯s almost done. The scenery there is also very good. Mom and dad can go shopping more often.¡±
Chao Gai glared at Chao Yong and said: "Zhao Ji has caused so many people in Jiangnan to have their families destroyed and their families to build Genyue. If you keep me here to admire it, won't it mean that the people in Jiangnan will stab you in the back, and I will have it demolished later."
When Chao Yong heard this, he hurriedly said: "Many people lost their families in exchange for Gen Yue. If dad demolished it, wouldn't it mean that the sacrifices of those people were meaningless? Otherwise, dad would just open Gen Yue so that people can enjoy it. It's useless." It would be a pity to demolish that much manpower and material resources.¡±
Mrs. He also nodded and said, "Yong'er is right. It took a lot of effort to build it. If you demolish it all at once, isn't it a waste of things?"
Chao Gai thought for a while and then said: "Okay, then let's keep it for the people to watch." (To be continued) 8
