The Princess of Northern Land

Just when Chu Suifeng was helpless at the Hou Mansion, King Rui, King Chu and Lin Haisheng, who were supposed to leave after the ceremony, unexpectedly received an imperial edict from the court.

"The emperor has decreed that the two princes and Lord Lin do not need to return to the capital for the time being. They must deliver the tributes from the North to the palace before the end of the year." The special envoy who came to the north to deliver the imperial edict was Eunuch Miao, a popular figure around the emperor. In the end, the inn When he arrived, he was covered in travel dust, and you could tell at a glance that he had come in a hurry along the way.

"New Year's Day will be here in ten days. Even if we set off now, it's impossible to send him to the palace in time before New Year's Eve?" King Rui asked in surprise.

"Your Highness Prince Rui, you have to catch up even if you can't." Eunuch Miao sighed, "The two princes have just set off, and the miscellaneous family has arrived. The emperor is not living a comfortable life these days."

No one asked why the emperor was in a bad mood. When the three people left the capital, the capital was already in chaos.

No one thought that the goods transported from the North to the states of Da Qin could actually disrupt the market. Chu Suifeng affected Da Qin's economy without saying a word. It must be said that his methods were very clever. Of course, the Lin family behind him seemed a bit unpleasant.

As the new year approaches, who doesn’t want to buy the best things to prepare for their family, but everyone has discovered that some things cannot be bought with money.

Vegetarian oil, seafood, various soy sauces, seasonings, roasted seeds and nuts, sugar, even vermicelli and soy products, what you want are simply not in stock on the market. There are some in restaurants, but unfortunately they don't sell them.

Women are even more noisy, nagging at the house every day, and they can't even buy cosmetics, sweaters and down jackets. It's okay for women who have stocks in hand, but women who don't have any stocks in their hands are already jealous. If they are used to Northland cosmetics, and if they are asked to use products from other stores, no one will want them.

The most important thing is that everyone is still a little panicked. Will they not be able to buy these things from Beidi in the future?

The emperor was also very angry. According to his instructions, the palace no longer used vegetable oil seasonings and the like. But after eating delicious dishes for a period of time, would the emperor be able to swallow the tasteless food made with meat and oil? Several cooks in the imperial kitchen have lost their heads over this.

The remaining cooks also tremble every day, fearing that they will be the next to lose their heads. It's not that their cooking skills are not good, but that it's hard for a skilled woman to cook without rice. Without suitable seasonings, oils and ingredients, they can't cook to the same standard as before.

The emperor didn't care about this and still placed all the responsibilities on the imperial chef.

But at this moment, there was news in the capital that someone was reselling Northland goods, and the businessman was arrested on the spot. Anyone with common sense knows that Chu Suifeng exchanged grain for goods, and the emperor had issued an order not to allow anyone to deliver a grain of grain to the north. Obviously, someone deliberately disobeyed the imperial edict. How could the emperor not be angry? Then things got serious, and in the end it was discovered that behind this group of businessmen were many important officials in the court, including concubines in the harem. Among them, the emperor's most trusted King Suqing and his most beloved Concubine Xian were all suspected of being involved, and even the Queen Mother was involved.

Now it's good, the law does not punish everyone. No matter how angry the emperor is, he can't arrest everyone in a big way.

In the end, the Queen Mother and the Dowager Concubine went to the Emperor and asked the Emperor to issue an imperial edict requiring all the goods in the North to be sent to the capital as tribute.

After the King of Chu saw clearly the content of the imperial edict, he sneered in his heart.

The ministers in the DPRK all looked covetously at the Northland, and they all dreamed of getting a piece of the Northland pie. It's a pity that these people are all fanciful. Why don't they think about it carefully? How can anyone take advantage of Prince Ling?
