Time travel, sell Tang poems at the beginning

After the court was dismissed, Lin Feng did not go home, but came to the Wende Hall. After being informed by the gatekeeper eunuch Zhang Hao, he walked straight in.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"

Huangfu Gongcheng stood up and walked towards Lin Feng, "Feng'er, there's no need to be polite. I'm thirsty. Come sit down and have a cup of tea with me!"

"Thank you, Father!"

As soon as Huangfu Gongcheng and Lin Feng sat down at the tea table, Sun He asked the eunuch to serve them tea.

Huangfu Gongcheng picked up the teacup and began to drink. "Feng'er must have something important to tell me. Tell me, what is it?"

Lin Feng quickly stood up and saluted, "Father, I plan to concentrate on developing steam engines in Lijiazhuang Industrial Park."

Speaking of steam engines, Huangfu Gongcheng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Feng'er, the development of this steam engine has been going on for almost a year and a half. I wonder when it will be successfully developed?"

"Father, this steam engine is much more complicated than a musket or cannon. I estimate that I should be able to make a sample in two years."

Huangfu Gongcheng nodded, "Two years is not too long. I will wait for Feng'er's good news."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I, Zhao Yong and the others will definitely speed up the research and development."

At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly thought of something and immediately said, "Father, in order to speed up the development progress, I want to set up a technician college in Lijiazhuang. Please grant me your approval."

Huangfu Gongcheng nodded, "No problem, I agree to the establishment of a technician college."

Lin Feng's face lit up with joy, and he cupped his hands again, "Thank you, Father!"

"Father, I have to develop steam engines, set up a technical college, and write textbooks for it. I'm afraid I won't have enough time to manage the Tenbei Guards. So I want to resign from the post of Tenbei General. Please grant me permission."

Although Lin Feng is Huangfu Gongcheng's adopted son and son-in-law, there has been no family affection in the royal family since ancient times. If Lin Feng wants to be a lone minister that the emperor can trust, he must resign from the position of General of the Tenbingwei, otherwise he will inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion.

As a modern college student time traveler, Lin Feng understands very well the contradiction between ancient emperors and their meritorious officials. Lin Feng's achievements are so great that retiring at the height of his career is his best option at the moment.

Huangfu Gongcheng looked at Lin Feng with a puzzled look on his face. "Feng'er, you built the Tenbei Guard with your own hands. If it weren't for the hot air balloons, bombs, and muskets and cannons you developed, there would be no Tenbei Guard in Dayan. Why did you resign?"

Lin Feng quickly cupped his hands and said, "Father, I thought all the troops of Dayan belonged to you and the imperial court. I am just a temporary manager."

"I suggest that the selection of the generals of the nine major armies of Great Yan should not be fixed, but should be rotated to avoid the recurrence of the situation where the entire Yulin Guard rebels."

"Not only the generals, but also the lieutenant generals, lieutenants, and captains below can be appointed on a rotational basis. This way, father and the court can more effectively manage and mobilize the world's armies."

Huangfu Gongcheng's eyes lit up, "Feng'er, your method of rotating appointments is very good. After I discuss it with the general, if there are no problems, I will promote it throughout the army."

"Father is wise!"

Lin Feng flattered Huangfu Gongcheng at the right time, and he was very happy. He immediately reached out and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder, "Feng'er, if you have any good ideas in the future, you can come to the palace and tell me. If it is feasible, I will definitely adopt it."

"Don't worry, Father. I will. Oh, by the way, Father, what about my resignation?"

Huangfu Gongcheng thought for a moment and slowly said, "Feng'er, you are the best candidate for the position of General of the Tenbingwei. If you resign, I will not be able to find a suitable replacement for a while! Why don't you just not resign yet? You can let Tianhu and the others handle the Tenbingwei affairs. You don't have to worry about anything and just focus on developing the steam engine."

"My son obeys the order!"

Next, Lin Feng and Huangfu Gongcheng drank tea and chatted, and finally said goodbye and left.

Lin Feng left the palace and headed straight to Lijiazhuang outside the city...

Early this morning, Huangfu Yunyun came to Kunyan Palace with her personal maid Ruoyun, and walked straight in after being informed by Yun'er.

"My son, I pay my respects to my mother!"

Shangguan Lingyun's face lit up with joy. She immediately stood up and came to Huangfu Yunyun. She took her precious daughter's hand and sat on the sofa. "Yun'er, you came to see your mother so early today. Have you had breakfast?"

Huangfu Yunyun shook her head, "Not yet!"

"Then eat with mother! Yun'er and Yu'er, go and get me my breakfast."

"Yes, Queen!"

Yun'er and Yu'er bowed politely and turned to leave.

After a while, Yun'er and Yu'er led a team of palace maids to bring a sumptuous breakfast, and the mother and daughter began to eat it with relish.

"Yun'er, come and have an egg."

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

Shangguan Lingyun suddenly thought of something and immediately said, "Yun'er, you and Feng'er's wedding date has been set. The wedding will be held on the first day of May."

Huangfu Yunyun's face lit up with joy, "Really! This means that in one month I will be Lin Feng's wife."

Shangguan Lingyun looked at her precious daughter reluctantly and said, "Yun'er, after you get married, you must come to the palace often to visit your mother. Don't forget your mother just because you have a husband."

"Mother, don't worry. I will come to the palace often to accompany you."

Speaking of Lin Feng, Huangfu Yunyun suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit and immediately said, "Mother, my father actually ordered Lin Feng to take concubines, and he wants four concubines at once. You must help me with this matter."

"Yun'er, are you talking about your father asking Ziyun, Ziyan, Luo Wanting, and Xia Susu to be Feng'er's concubines?"

"Mother, do you already know about this?"

Shangguan Lingyun nodded, "Your father has talked about this with your mother."

"Yun'er, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. As long as Feng'er likes you and treats you well, that's enough. As for those concubines, you don't have to care about them at all."

"Also, your mother wants to tell you a great piece of news. Your father is going to confer Feng'er the title of Prince of Xin again. This way, Feng'er will have two titles. The title of the virtuous prince will be inherited by Xiaofan, and the title of the Prince of Xin will be inherited by your and Feng'er's eldest son."

Huangfu Yunyun was overjoyed, "Really? That's great."

After the excitement, Huangfu Yunyun continued to speak: "Mother, I don't want Lin Feng to take a concubine, and Lin Feng doesn't want to take a concubine either. Can you ask father to withdraw his order to take a concubine?"

Shangguan Lingyun shook her head and said, "Yun'er, I'm afraid your mother can't help you with this matter, because the royal family has a rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."

"Ah... Is this matter of taking a concubine also a political matter?"

Shangguan Lingyun smiled and said, "Of course, as long as it is something your father personally inquires about, it is a matter of national importance."

"Yun'er! Which of the civil and military officials in the court didn't have many wives and concubines when they were young? We women should learn to be tolerant and understanding, and do everything for the sake of our husbands."

"Think about it carefully. If Qiuyue is the same as you, how can you and Shengnan marry Feng'er? Don't worry, with your father and mother supporting you, Feng'er will definitely treat you well."

"Besides, your father is the ruler of the world. What he says is an imperial decree. How can he take it back so easily? Moreover, Feng'er is an unprecedented virtuous and faithful duke. It is necessary for him to have three wives and four concubines. Do you understand?"

Huangfu Yunyun nodded reluctantly, "I understand, mother!"

The ancients attached great importance to inheritance, from the inheritance of dynasties to the inheritance of families. However, the medical level in ancient society was extremely low, the infant mortality rate was very high, and a cold could be fatal.

In the Dayan Dynasty, where men were superior to women, men had three wives and four concubines not just for the sake of enjoying the happiness of having many wives, but more for the sake of family inheritance.
