I engaged in modernization in ancient times

The banquet continued, and the other princes continued to present gifts.

When Mo Shaoheng came back, Zhao Yanqiu just offered a jade belt, and he didn't know what he wanted to express.

Mo Shaoheng looked at the sky, and logically, the banquet would be over after an hour or two. As a result, Mo Shaoheng's drama directly extended the time until now.

It's...it's getting late.

But with the saint's amnesty, the Liangjing curfew will naturally not work.

Mo Shaoheng sat back to his original seat and said to Zhao Di, "How about my play?"

Zhao Di: "Where did you learn all this? You actually let someone act out the script."

There are also speech books in the restaurants in Beiliang, but this is the first time a real person is used to act.

While talking, he pushed the food towards Mo Shaoheng, but he still hadn't eaten anything yet.

Mo Shaoheng replied, "This is a long story, and I have learned a lot."

The corners of Zhao Di's mouth turned up, "For example, the stars in the sky don't shine? Is the earth on the ground round?"

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

Didn't he tell Zhao Di when he sat on the roof when he was a child, this guy still remembers it.

Mo Shaoheng got excited, "You still don't believe me, but what I said is true."

Zhao Di was about to say something when Zhao Lan walked over.

The two looked at each other.

Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, Zhao Lan didn't feel uncomfortable and panicked?

As a result, others were still smiling, Zhao Lan said, "Today is the saint's birthday, and I will also offer a toast to you both."

After finishing speaking, he said to Zhao Di, "I don't know when King Yan will take a concubine? The sage and concubine Tian are waiting for the successor of King Yan."

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

Sure enough, it was a disgusting person.

There was no need for Zhao Di to answer, Mo Shaoheng interjected, "Your Highness must have drunk too much. Instead of caring about other people's affairs, you might as well worry about how long you have to copy books in the Imperial College."

Before the sage opened his mouth to let you out, you started to come over and act like a demon, isn't it a bit early.

There is no emotion in these words.

Zhao Lan's face turned cold, and he snorted coldly, "The prince is quick to speak, but don't forget that Beiliang always needs successors, and the royal family cannot have no descendants."

This is to remind Mo Shaoheng that the king of Yan married him, and it is destined that he cannot be in Xiao Xiang's position.

In other words, that position is destined to belong to him, Zhao Lan. Now that he has offended him so much, it is not certain who will be in whose hands in the future.

At the beginning, he was sent to the Imperial College to study again, and was deprived of the right to participate in politics.

But he also won, because he took several detours to marry Zhao Di and Mo Shaoheng, cutting off King Yan's way forward.

I thought King Yan would hate Mo Shaoheng because of this, but I didn't expect that the two men who were unwilling to get married could still live in peace.

Mo Shaoheng frowned, "Your Highness said it a little too early."

Zhao Lan was taken aback, what do you mean?

Even if Zhao Di really took a concubine and gave birth to a son, it is impossible to get that position, unless Mo Shaoheng is abolished and the concubine's room is restored.

But this would spoil Zhenbei Wangfu, and the history of marrying a man would not be cleared away.

Beiliang should not be able to accept such a crown prince.

Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, Zhao Lan was taken aback.

Such a good banquet made him lose his mood.

No, if you don't make him feel better, Zhao Lan won't feel better either.

At this time, the gifts from other princes were almost over.

Mo Shaoheng glanced at Zhao Lan, then stood up.

He said to the sage, "Sage, I, the prince of Beiliang, is now studying in the Imperial Academy, but there is no prince in charge of the country in the imperial court."

"If things go on like this, I'm afraid that our Beiliang community will be shaken."

"I also ask the sage to appoint a prince to supervise the country on behalf of the prince and handle political affairs."

No matter which prince is appointed, it should be Zhao Lan anyway.

The place suddenly fell silent.

The smile on Zhao Lan's face froze.

The saint is in a good mood today, it seems that he is about to come out of the Imperial College and return to the Golden Palace to govern.

But after all, the sage has not verbally said it is not.

Mo Shaoheng actually put forward such a suggestion now, it's not just disgusting him.

It is indeed a big problem for Beiliang to have no prince to supervise the country for half a year.

The princes are eager to try, which will definitely cause turmoil.

In fact, before Mo Shaoheng, some ministers raised such opinions to the saint.

Either release Zhao Lan, or let other princes execute the power of the prince on their behalf, so as to stabilize the country.

However, the sage didn't seem to want to send Zhao Lan out of the Imperial Prison too early, and was hesitant about another suggestion.

Unexpectedly, Mo Shaoheng would mention this matter again.

Moreover, it was still mentioned in front of Zhao Lan.

"presumptuous."

It was the queen who spoke.

"Royal affairs, you, a son with a foreign surname, can comment on it?"

Mo Shaoheng took it easy, "Originally, the crown prince supervises the country to ensure the peace of the world, which is related to the country and society."

"but……"

But the prince himself didn't live up to his expectations and was fined by the Imperial Academy, no one to blame.

"Half a year has passed since this matter, and I ask the sage to make a decision early."

Mo Shaoheng raised his head, "It's just a temporary position as the crown prince. Once the court is stabilized, the people's hearts will be reassured. What do you adults think?"

Zhao Lan: "..."

To put it nicely, temporarily act as the crown prince, but where should he be placed as the crown prince?

He will become Beiliang's joke.

Mo Shaoheng was waiting for the reaction of other ministers.

Sure enough, someone stood up and said, "Sage, my son's words are not unreasonable. Now that I don't have a prince to supervise the country in Beiliang, there have already been discussions in the market, and I ask the sage to make a decision early."

Several ministers came forward to second the proposal.

The corners of Mo Shaoheng's mouth rose.

Sure enough, other princes couldn't sit still for a long time.

And Mo Shaoheng just wanted to let the sage see that as long as a minister came out to second his opinion, it would show that the royal family was in chaos in private because of the prince's matter.

Chaos in the royal family will definitely shake the country.

The saint is most concerned about Beiliang, even though he couldn't bear to make a decision before, but for the sake of Beiliang, now he has to make a choice.

The sage frowned when he saw that there were quite a few ministers who stood up to second him.

Because of Zhao Lan's punishment, some ministers were no longer focused on dealing with government affairs, and kept thinking about various things.

In the long run, it's really not a problem.

At this time, Queen Wang said, "Saint, Lan'er has been in the Imperial College for more than half a year, and her temper has become much more stable."

Isn't this an opportunity for Zhao Lan to re-enter the Golden Palace.

That's why she bit the bullet and said something.

The atmosphere on the scene became delicate, waiting for the saint to make a decision.

In the silence, Zhao Di suddenly said, "Just now the prince's kindness in persuading me to take a concubine, I appreciate it."

Needle drop is audible.

They were still curious just now, whether the relationship between Zhao Lan and Zhao Di is extremely bad, why did they still go up to toast.

It turned out to be to add insult to injury.

Zhao Di was not destined for that position, so Zhao Lan was naturally happy. He never thought that after finally getting out of the Imperial College, he couldn't help but sneer and ridicule him.

After all, they are also blood brothers. Zhao Lan doesn't have any power yet. If he has power, the trouble will not be directly turned into...

The saint snorted coldly.

Queen Wang opened her mouth in a daze and was speechless.

Why was Zhao Lan sent to the Imperial College?It's not because the sage feels that his character is not good enough.

Originally, after more than half a year of copying books in the Imperial College, he should have made some progress, and his temperament seemed to be indeed stable.

As a result, he immediately went to mock his brother.

Mo Shaoheng almost gave Zhao Di a thumbs up.

Even if the saint wanted Zhao Lan to come out, it would not be possible now, because Zhao Lan himself prevented the saint from stepping down.

Why did the sage let Zhao Lan regain power?Said he knew he was wrong?This is not to bite the bullet and slap yourself in the face.

I don't know how many ministers were overjoyed.

Now they are probably thinking about the same thing, as long as Zhao Lan is not re-supervising the country as the prince, any other prince will do.

This means that only the princes they support will have a chance if the prince's status is shaken.

In this kind of thing, even if the saints are not allowed to stand in line on the surface, who can say what people think in their hearts.

The sage glanced at Zhao Lan, whose face was ashen, and sighed in his heart, he couldn't even help him up.

He looked at the ministers again.

My mind is floating.

It is indeed a big event that the country has no prince to supervise the country.

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "From now on, Zhao Di, the King of Yan, will take over as the crown prince temporarily." There was no sound.

Some ministers opened their mouths, but they never spoke.

Xin Dao, if it is any other prince, I am afraid that he may not be able to convince everyone.

But King Yan and Mo Shaoheng got married, so they were destined to miss that position.

This may be the best and most stable result for all the princes now.

Mo Shaoheng was also taken aback for a moment.

And such a good thing?

Zhao Di stood up unhurriedly and thanked him.

Beside, Zhao Lan's fingers were pinched into the palm of his hand.

I thought that today was the time for him to take over the power of the prince again, and he had had enough of the silence for more than half a year.

A person who has been surrounded and held by everyone all the time suddenly loses everything around him, the kind of torture can be imagined.

Who would have thought that what should have been a joyous day turned out to be his greatest humiliation.

The dignified prince of Beiliang has been emptied of all his powers, what is he?

How would others look at him?

Useless and incompetent?

The blood in the palm of the hand flowed down the palm.

He looked at Zhao Di and Mo Shaoheng with gloomy eyes.

Mo Shaoheng also felt Zhao Di's gaze.

Sighed, to make people perish, you must first make people crazy.

Zhao Lan... was already on the verge of madness.

Although some things have passed for a long time, he has not forgotten them.

If he was deliberately left in Nanli back then, if he was just a normal ten-year-old child, one can imagine what kind of shadow it would cause.

The scene came alive.

There were also ministers who came up to congratulate Zhao Di.

It is not known whether it is sincere congratulations, or to bring hatred to Zhao Di.

Speaking of which, Zhao Di was the former crown prince, and now he has assumed the post of crown prince again.

It's really unpredictable.

However, Zhao Di's current situation is also very strange.

If it was before, this would naturally be a great thing, but now he is married to Mo Shaoheng.

Things are a little more complicated.

But at least, on the bright side, Beiliang is back on the right track.

Three rounds of wine.

Change the cup.

There were no demon moths in the back, after all, today is the saint's birthday, and no one dared to seriously spoil the atmosphere.

The night is hazy, and the lights are just coming on.

Today, there is a sage's pardon for the exemption of the curfew, so naturally there is no need to worry about the time.

Even in Liangjing City, because of the rare exemption from the curfew and the saint's birthday, it is also celebrating.

Liangjing is particularly lively tonight.

The location of the imperial garden is very special. In a corner of the imperial garden, there is a location that is built so high that you can overlook the Liangjing city outside, which is a symbol of the supremacy of the imperial power.

Many ministers took advantage of the atmosphere and said nicely next to the saint, "Saint, look at Liangjing, does it have a prosperous and prosperous scene?"

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

What are you bragging about.

Nor can he fall.

"Saint, this night-night Liangjing is really beautiful."

"It's just that it's just a pity for this night."

The sage laughed, "This night alone is already close enough for Liang Jingwei to be busy. Do you still think that this is not possible every day?"

It was originally a joke, but Mo Shaoheng stood up directly, and said very seriously:

"Sage, when the spring begins, the envoys who went to other countries should return one after another."

"If all goes well, merchants from various countries will follow them back."

"Doesn't the sage want businessmen from all over the world to see such a beautiful night scene in Liangjing?"

The saint and everyone else couldn't help being stunned, what does Mo Shaoheng mean by this?

This is also Mo Shaoheng's plan to put forward a major proposal today.

Said, "Sage, please consider and let me cancel the curfew in Liangjing."

In modern times, curfews are pretty eccentric.

Night is the beginning of life, no matter how bad it is, it will be fine to postpone the curfew.

Everyone: "..."

saint:"……"

Mo Shaoheng must be crazy, the curfew is a rule passed down from generation to generation.

Chaos are prone to occur at night, so there is a curfew rule.

Mo Shaoheng began to describe.

It describes a myth that never sleeps in Liangjing.

The bustling scene makes people feel fascinated.

In fact, in ancient times, not all eras had curfews.

For example, the record of Chang'an without night is often found in history books.

Such a grand sight is really yearning for.

It is also a symbol of prosperity.

Now merchants from various countries are coming, and even more merchants will continue to come.

Mo Shaoheng made such a suggestion after careful consideration. He wanted Liangjing to become a major commercial city that was different from all the cities in other countries.

Due to geographical conditions, Beiliang is doomed to become a center of trade and a major commercial city before it can truly prosper. Otherwise, it will be too restrictive to rely on its own agriculture.

And it is so easy to become the center of trade among various countries.

If you want businessmen from various countries to remember Liangjing, you have to make Liangjing look different.

Listening to Mo Shaoheng's description, everyone couldn't help but have a picture in their minds. At night, Liangjing is lit up by thousands of houses.

How beautiful that is.

When Mo Shaoheng's voice fell, I don't know how many people were sighing.

Beauty is beauty, but it's too unrealistic. Even if the vegetable oil that Mo Shaoheng made is now cheap, the consumption of oil lamps at night is no longer so expensive.

Said, "Not to mention anything else, just to maintain the order at night, you need a lot of yamen servants and guards."

Mo Shaoheng replied, "So, I implore the sage to conduct martial arts and select talents for Beiliang."

Everyone: "..."

Wait, martial arts?

It was only in Beiliang that the imperial examination was carried out, and the civil servants who governed the place were selected.

Now you want to carry out martial arts again?

Mo Shaoheng was also lamenting that the selection of officials in the imperial examination is all civil servants, and if things go on like this, the prosperity of literature and the decline of martial arts are bound to happen.

It would be fine if it was a peaceful time, but it happens that the world is not peaceful now.

In history, how many dynasties were bullied by foreigners because of the decline of martial arts. The century-old national humiliation cannot be forgotten.

We can learn from the past.

Therefore, Mo Shaoheng took advantage of Buye Liangjing's plan to carry out martial arts.

Only when the imperial examinations and military examinations are carried out in parallel can Beiliang be truly strong.

This is also his real purpose.

Many members of the Wu Xun family's eyes lit up.

Do you know how much they envy the imperial examination?

The selection of officials through imperial examinations pointed out a way out for scholars.

But those who were born in Wu Xun are not very good at reading.

If there is a military examination like the imperial examination, it will be their home field.

Moreover, Mo Shaoheng wasn't saying that it really needed a lot of martial arts responsible for order.

This is an opportunity.

In fact, as Beiliang begins to develop, more and more people will be needed. For example, the implementation of the compulsory education law and the establishment of factories in various places require a lot of manpower, but now, Wu Xun also needs manpower. .

The original system will become more and more unsatisfactory to the pace of Beiliang's development.

Originally, what Mo Shaoheng was talking about was a trade center and a commercial center, making Liangjing the world's consumption center, earning wealth from all countries and strengthening Beiliang, but they still didn't understand it.

But now, they think it seems... a little bit reasonable.

This matter is too important, just saying these two sentences at the banquet is naturally not enough to convince the sage and everyone.

However, it is enough to give them an impression, because this time, the Wu Xun family should be on his side.

In the past, if only one member of the Wu Xun family could become an official, Mo Shaoheng's suggestion made it possible for their family to have one more person who became an official.

For them, it means too much.

At the banquet, many martial artists even came to have a drink or two with Mo Shaoheng, and inquired about the specific situation of martial arts.

So, after the banquet was over, Zhao Di asked someone to send those little shopkeepers back, because...Mo Shaoheng was drinking.

In the carriage, Mo Shaoheng was drunk, his eyes were somewhat hazy.

Zhao Di: "..."

He knew that Mo Shaoheng couldn't drink anymore, and he would be broken after drinking.

He felt that if Mo Shaoheng remembered what he did after drinking, he probably had to find a hole in the ground to get in.

This little elf is more powerful than the martial arts cheats he hid under his pillow.

When he was about to arrive at King Yan's mansion, Zhao Di picked up Mo Shaoheng, who had been confused all the way, and buried his head on his chest into the mansion.

It's not his fault, it's Mo Shaoheng who has no energy at all right now.

The night has just begun.

The next day, Mo Shaoheng felt a little weak when he woke up.

"Why do you feel so tired?"

It's rare that Zhao Di actually slept late today.

Mo Shaoheng pushed Zhao Di, "At least you are in charge of the crown prince, so you slept late on the first day."

Zhao Di gave a bewildered grace and continued to sleep.

Had a good night's sleep last night.

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

No matter what, other things are important now.

In fact, he still has some vague memories, but he fell asleep while taking advantage of the alcohol, as if he didn't care what happened.

Mo Shaoheng didn't want to move either, he was limp.

Someone asked without saying a word, "What do you think the sage thinks? Among the many princes, you should not be suitable to hold the power of the prince now."

Zhao Di is the former prince, and his mother is the concubine of heaven.

Identity is too sensitive.

Even if there is a shield of being married to Mo Shaoheng now, how much effect it will play is still uncertain for the time being.

If he really missed that position, the danger now would be in vain.

Zhao Di said "En".

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

After a while, Mo Shaoheng went to push Zhao Di again, "Don't you regret it at all?"

Born as the crown prince, but because of marrying a man, his identity has become subtle, so he should have some ideas, right?

This is human nature, after all, that position is not a cabbage radish, it can be seen everywhere.

Moreover, Mo Shaoheng had always thought that Zhao Di was straight, because his appearance was particularly straight.

Although she is so curvy that her mother doesn't even recognize her now, she still enjoys it. See, if a straight man can treat a man as gently as he did last night, his attitude will be great.

If this is considered straight, even if Mo Shaoheng is killed, he would not believe it, hehe, these are all like-minded people.

Zhao Di said "En" again.

Mo Shaoheng hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually...actually, if you try a little harder, it's not...that you won't be able to give birth to a baby."

Do things more diligently, there is still hope, hey.

Zhao Di was stunned, what do you mean?Does this mean he hasn't tried hard enough?

I don't know who it was, but every time I was halfway through, I started to say that I couldn't do it for various reasons, and many times I used other methods to solve it.

Mo Shaoheng didn't think about it clearly, nor did he continue this topic.

He is a pharmacist, but he actually has some unnatural abilities.

After resting for a while, Zhao Di went to court.

Mo Shaoheng thought for a while, and went to Bird Clothes Lane.

All the little shopkeepers are full of energy.

There are still quite a few common people asking these small shopkeepers, "Did you really go to the palace for a banquet last night?"

The little peddler nodded, "We have seen a saint."

"The sage also gave us a royal banquet."

The common people were astonished to the extreme, as if these little shopkeepers had some great aura on them, they kept trying to make their children happy.

A group of small shopkeepers who had seen the saint, the news also spread.

If it is said that in the past, I was only envied by the life attitude of the small shopkeeper and the life that gradually improved.

I'm really envious now.

Someone else asked incredulously, "Why did the saint see you?"

A group of small shopkeepers laughed extremely sweetly, "Because we are the most beautiful boys in Beiliang."

From time to time, I can still hear the small shopkeepers humming, "There is a Bao Qingtian in Kaifeng..."

The taste of life, happiness is nothing more than that.

Douzi ran up to Mo Shaoheng, "My lord, I ate pea noodles in the morning."

A bowl of noodles topped with boiled peas is such a bliss.

Now that Douzi sees that other people like soy products, he is very happy.

He felt that he, too, could be as useful and likable as a pea.

Mo Shaoheng teased Douzi before heading to the factory in the suburbs.

Because... With the beginning of spring, Liangjing will really become different.

If the former Liangjing was a closed Liangjing, then the future Liangjing will be an open Liangjing bordering all countries.
