Zhuo Qihua

Ten years later

At today's court meeting, Emperor Yong'an promulgated an imperial decree that had not been used in Wenyuan Pavilion, which shocked the court and the public.Enfeoffed Qi Wang Nan Rongchen Li Nanxizhou Continent, Jin Wang Nan Rongchen Yue North Xizhou Continent, Chu Wang Nan Rongchen Yang Nan Qiongzhou Continent.The three kings were given one year to recruit troops and recruit good people to Xizhou and Qiongzhou mainland.The rest of the county kings can apply to accompany them.

Xizhou Continent and Qiongzhou Continent are new continents discovered overseas by the Mata State. They have a vast territory and a sparse population.The resources of the two continents are rich, but they are comparable to primitive places. Wouldn't it be dead to go there!After hearing the news, Deguixie, Xiguifei and Mingjue immediately went to Xiangfu Palace.In the court hall, King Qi, King Jin and King Chu had already knelt down to accept the order.

In Xiangfu Palace, Zhuo Ji, who got the news for the first time, asked Wang Baobai to come to the study when he learned that Deguixie, Xiguifei and Mingyu were here.Zhuo Ji got up from behind the desk and walked to the wall where the latest map of the world was hung, and opened the curtain that was covering it.

"By the way! Did you know the imperial decree issued by His Majesty?" De Guixie asked anxiously as soon as he entered.

Zhuo Ji said calmly: "Understood. Brothers and sisters, don't worry, come here."

Bringing a few people to the map, Zhuo Ji asked: "Brothers and sisters, do you know what this is?"

De Guixie: "It's a map."

Zhuo Ji: "Where is the map?"

Mingyu: "It's a known map of the world."

Zhuo Ji nodded and said, "The headquarters of the firm should also have such a map, and brothers and sisters should also know how big the Mata country is on this map."

De Guixie stepped forward and gestured: "This is the territory of our Mata country."

Zhuo Ji: "How does the map of Mata country compare with the map of the world that has been explored?"

The three of them, Deguixie, Mingjue and Xiguifei, seemed to understand something.Zhuo Ji pointed to a continent and said: "This is the Xizhou Continent. This is the Qiongzhou Continent. The territory of these two continents exceeds the territory of the Mata State. Xizhou and Qiongzhou are rich in resources and sparsely populated. The indigenous civilizations there Compared with Mata country, it can only be regarded as primitive. Such two vast resource continents, if Mata country does not take advantage of other civilizations to invade, the loss of Mata country will be immeasurable. Brothers and sisters will see. "

Zhuo Ji drew a line with his finger to connect the two continents with the territory of the Mata State, and said: "Having control of Xizhou and Qiongzhou, the Mata State is equivalent to controlling the three sea areas. In the north, with the backing of Xizhou, Mata country can continue to explore the extreme north. In the south, with the backing of Qiongzhou, it can continue to go south. To the east and west, Mata country has already controlled half of the territory Or the country, and the Xizhou Continent as a side attack..." Zhuo Ji looked at the three of them, "Your Majesty, I am playing a big game of chess for the Mata country. This game cannot be achieved only by His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Xizhou and Qiongzhou are lagging behind, but instead of hiding their edge in the capital and waiting to die, why don't Chen Li and the others go to their own territory and make something happen?"

Deguixie took a deep breath: "Shunxi, I understand what you mean."

Ming Xi wiped the corner of his eyes: "I know, I won't stop Chen Yang."

Concubine Xi was still worried: "Chen Li doesn't know if it will work or not."

Zhuo Ji: "Sister, you have to trust Chen Li. These years, His Majesty and the crown prince have trained Chen Li and the others for this day. Chen Li's performance did not disappoint His Majesty. As parents, it is natural to protect the children under their wings. Don't worry. But one day we will die, and Chen Li and the others already have multiple identities as husbands and fathers. If it's okay, let them have a try."

Concubine Xi nodded vigorously. Although she was still worried, it was a pity that Concubine Xi hoped that her son could go out and make a fortune and prove himself.Even if she has her own career, is she really willing that her son only be a painter?

After seeing off Deguixie, Mingjue and Xiguifei, Zhuo Ji ordered people to call King Qi, King Chu and King Jin to Xiangfu Palace.As soon as the three of them came to Xiangfu Palace, they knelt down and kowtowed to Shun's mother and father.Unlike his own parents, the hearts of the three who received the imperial edict were full of enthusiasm.Asking the three to get up, Zhuo Ji first looked at King Qi and said, "Chen Mu, you should already understand why your father has always raised you on the same level as the prince."

Qi Wang Nanrong Chen Mu nodded silently.

Zhuo Ji: "I once asked the prince what he planned for you. The prince said that he naturally wanted you to assist him. I told the prince that it would be a waste of your ability to let you assist the prince and stay in the capital."

Nan Rong Chen's eyes showed surprise, Zhuo Ji: "Your ability requires a wider world than the capital. The crown prince wants to defend the city, but the three of you, including Chen'an and them, need to open up borders. It is very important, and Nanxi Prefecture is the most important thing. No one can do this place except you. Chen Li, after you arrive in Northxi Prefecture, you must help each other with your imperial brother and learn more from your imperial brother. As for the problem, you should listen to your brother’s opinion more.”

Jin Wang Nanrong Chenli nodded solemnly and said: "Chenli, go ahead and ask the emperor more about everything."

Nan Rongchen Yang: "Father Shun, I'm going to Qiongzhou alone, and I don't know what to do."

Zhuo Ji: "I hope you can persuade Chen Zhao and Chen Hao to go with you. Chen Zhao is straightforward, Chen Hao is careful, and the three of you are about the same age, so you can discuss things. Other brothers, if you are tempted, you can also persuade them They go together."

Nan Rongchen Yang immediately said: "I will!"

Zhuo Ji said: "I hope that all of you brothers will have your own careers and not be inactive or muddled. The children stay in Beijing for now, and when you get a foothold there and things are on the right track, then take the children over. "The princes are all married and have children, but the children are still young, so naturally they can't follow immediately.

King Qi, King Chu, and King Jin: "The child obeys his mother and father."

In Huayang Palace, Wuling King Nan Rongchen came to see his mother and father, and said, "Mother and father, my child wants to go to Xizhou with the second brother."

Huang Guixie looked at her youngest son and said, "You are all gone, who will help your brother?"

Nan Rong Chenji: "I don't want to be under the wings of my mother, father and imperial brother all the time. My son, I also want to go out and make a fortune."

Cultivated by Zhuo Ji and vigorously cultivated by Emperor Yong'an, the ability of the crown prince Nan Rongchen is far beyond the reach of other emperors who are much younger than him.Only Nan Rongchen, the king of Qi, who was also taught by Zhuo Ji wholeheartedly and grew up under the planned training of Emperor Yong'an, can stand shoulder to shoulder with the prince, but Nan Rongchen's reputation in the army and the court is even higher than that of Nan Rongchen.杦's.

In front of such a powerful prince and brother, even if these princes are capable, Emperor Yong'an will not vigorously cultivate them for the stability of the court, and they themselves have to keep a low profile to prevent making people think.After so many years, the princes who have gradually grown up also know that what their fathers are most taboo about is seizing the heir, fighting for the heirloom, and forming a party for personal gain.

With the crown prince and brother covering him, Nan Rongchen will definitely have a smooth life. As long as he is willing, the prince and brother will give him a certain amount of real power, but he is not willing to do that.He also wanted to go to sea, and also wanted to see how far he could go.

In Yunyue Palace, the case of the third prince Chang'an Wang Nan Rongchen also begged his mother and father to go to Xizhou with his brother.De Guixie was very conflicted. He was reluctant to leave both sons.He was also worried about his younger son.The youngest son can be said to have grown up pampered, Xizhou is so backward, can the youngest son endure that hardship.

In Yuxian Palace, Princess Ningguo is wiping tears.Princess Ningguo, who had already been married and became a mother, went to the palace to meet her mother and concubine immediately after learning about the imperial decree. When she learned that her younger brother's trip to North West Continent could not be changed, Princess Ningguo burst into tears of worry.Concubine Xi Gui was very indifferent, turned her head and persuaded: "Originally, my arrangement for Chen Li was to let him be an idle prince, so since he was a child, I let him follow your mother and father to learn oil painting, and he will be a painter in the future. Not bad. But after all, he is a prince and heir of the royal family. If he has no ambitions and is willing to be a painter, mother and concubine will go to ask your father to take back the will, but mother and concubine understand him. In his heart, he still wants to be a painter. Some things. Why don’t you just let him do it, if he really can’t do it, it’s not too late to come back.”

Princess Ningguo cried and said, "It would be so embarrassing to come back again."

Concubine Xi Gui: "It's better to be ashamed than to stop him from going and let him regret and resent us for the rest of his life. My son will fly when he grows up. It's better for him to have this chance than your father giving him the slightest bit of ambition." There are no good opportunities.”

Although Princess Ningguo was reluctant to let her brother go so far away, she still nodded after thinking about it.

In Xiangfu Palace, Zhuo Ji left King Qi alone.Qi Wang, Zhuo Ji's mood is always the same as that of the prince.This son needs to be given a world as vast as Mata country, allowing him to soar high and wide.

King Qi's expression is very calm. He has always wanted to go to sea and see the overseas world.Others may still be anxious, but he is full of ambition.

Zhuo Ji: "Chen Mu, your father has been letting you and the crown prince practice together for this day."

King Qi: "Father Shun, did you and your father decide early on?"

Zhuo Ji nodded: "You and Chen Mu are both so excellent. If I can't give you a world for you to realize your ambition, I will regret it in my life. The reason why your father entrusted you with the land of Nanxi Prefecture is because Because the Nanxi Prefecture mainland will play a vital role in the development of the Mata country in terms of economy, politics, and military affairs in the future, and no one is qualified to be the master of that piece of land except you."

King Qi pursed his lips, he was moved by Shun's mother and father's evaluation of him.

Zhuo Ji got up and went to the inner room of the study, when he came out he was holding a big bamboo box in his arms.Putting the box on the tea table, Zhuo Ji said: "Put away the things inside." After that, Zhuo Ji raised his hand and touched King Qi's head, "Standing at thirty, the time is just right, go."

King Qi's eyes turned red, he stood up, kowtowed to Shun's mother and father, and left with the box in his arms.

In Fengtian Temple, Emperor Yong'an, who had just returned, was boldly blocked on the road.The emperor's guard of honor stopped, and Emperor Yong'an was about to ask what's the matter, when he heard a fierce voice from outside: "Father!"

Emperor Yong'an's heart trembled and he didn't dare to speak.Zhang Xian, who was accompanying the car, showed a smiling face: "His Royal Highness King Ning—"

Ning Wang Nanrong Baoning, who had just turned ten years old, rushed over ferociously, and the guards on the left, right and in front gave way automatically.King Ning rushed to Yu Ren, Zhang Xian and Feng Xi hurriedly helped King Ning into the car, King Ning climbed into the car, opened the door and went in: "Father!" After the murder, tears came down.

Emperor Yong'an, who was shrinking like a tortoise, hurriedly hugged his son: "Oh, who made Wan Zhen cry?"

"It's Royal Father!" King Ning wiped his tears, "Father, how can you drive away all the royal brothers!"

Emperor Yong'an: "Father was wronged! How did Father drive them away!"

Ning Wang cried and complained: "Father, didn't you order the Second Emperor to go to Xizhou and Qiongzhou? Didn't you drive them away? Father, I won't let the Second Emperor go, I don't want sisters-in-law Let's go..." At this point, King Ning hugged his father and began to howl.

Emperor Yong'an was so distressed that he almost said "Father won't let them go"!But when he thought of a favorite servant of Xiangfu Palace, Emperor Yong'an bit the tip of his tongue in time, and immediately shied away: "This is not what the emperor meant, it was what your mother and father meant."

"Mother and father?" King Ning's crying stopped suddenly.

Emperor Yong'an nodded vigorously with great desire to survive: "It's your mother and father. You also know how powerful your mother and father are. He said that your second brother and the others should go out to make a living, and the father can only make such a decree. Father Of course you can take back the will, but with your parents’ consent.”

King Ning bit his lip, his face full of embarrassment.

The expressions of the father and son are the same at this time.

King Ning said with a lack of confidence: "Then, father, you go with me to find mother and father, so that mother and father can change their minds."

Emperor Yong'an: "Okay, father will go with you. Father doesn't want them to leave either. If they leave, no one will be able to protect father's Wan Zhen."

King Ning burst into tears: "I don't want Brother Huang to protect me, I just don't want Brother Huang to leave."

"Yeah, my father is also reluctant. My father is worried about my son traveling thousands of miles."

"Isn't the mother worried about children traveling thousands of miles?"

"Father is also worried."

Zhang Xian, who heard it clearly outside the car, curled his lips, Long live is so treacherous!
