My harem can't be this messy

Page 237

"This cotton cloth doesn't feel very good!"

"Your Highness, this has not been dealt with yet, it will be much better when it is dealt with."

"Well, weave all the cotton into cotton cloth. You guys have finished this piece and sent it to Prince Jin's Mansion."

Cotton cloth is the most useful textile in future generations. As long as cotton can be grown in large quantities, Anxi Duhu Mansion can become a large-scale cotton cloth production base.

When Li Zhi came today, the most important thing was to accompany the princess. At this time, he took Wang Yan and walked around the bamboo garden in the early winter. When Wang Yan was finally tired, Li Zhi hugged her , let her lean into his arms.

"Your Highness, I'm going to Linqing'an Pavilion!"

"This is not it!"

"Over there in the old building."

Li Zhi naturally accompanied her. When she got there, Wang Yan asked Lin Shixuan to feel her pulse. Lin Shixuan felt her pulse and shook his head.

Wang Yan was a little unhappy, and Sister Lin kept shaking her head to feel her pulse.

Hey, why are you always not pregnant!

Li Zhi looked at her, not knowing what to say to her.

At this moment, he could only hug her lightly and rub her shoulders lightly.

It is impossible for Wang Yan to conceive, Li Zhi knew, otherwise there would not be so many things happening in the harem in the future.

"Okay, Yan'er, let's go back. By the way, Shixuan, is there any tonic here?"

"Your Highness, do you still want to make love? How can the girls in the Jin Palace bear it at night?"

Li Zhi scratched his head, that's all, no more.

The carriage carried the two of them through the streets of Chang'an, and Chang'an was still bustling and lively in the evening.

Li Zhi suddenly looked at a place where several performers were setting up stalls and playing tricks.

Wang Yan looked at King Jin, and felt that His Highness's gaze was a bit strange, so she followed his gaze.

"His Highness is watching people, or watching the excitement."

"Yan'er, the girls are exactly the same, you don't think it's funny."

"Then stop your Highness, let's go and have a look."

Li Zhi looked at his attire and Wang Yan's attire, and shook his head.The clothes they wear can easily reveal their identities.

Today I went to the bamboo garden, and I didn't change it. It's not appropriate to get off the carriage and go to a crowded place now.

"Don't read it, I'm going back home."

On the second day at the court hall, the matter regarding Hou Junji’s going to rest has been decided, and the time is set for the beginning of spring. At this time, preparations have already begun. After all, Hou Junji is not going to rest alone, there are still a large number of people going there The Han people who rest in peace and reclamation should make arrangements early at this time.

After the court meeting was over, Hou Junji was the most confused person at this time, why did His Majesty suddenly let him go to Anxi Duhu Mansion without fighting?

Hou Junji obviously felt that this was a little overkill, and he also told His Majesty what he meant at the court meeting, but His Majesty just slapped the table angrily, saying that people's livelihood is no small matter.

What the hell is cotton, as far as making such a big fuss.

"My lord, what does His Majesty mean?"

There Hou Junji saw Changsun Wuji. As the uncle of the country, he is also the head of all officials, and his sister is the queen of the dynasty. He should always know something.

"Master Hou, don't ask me, I'm also in the fog!"

"The eldest grandson, who should I ask about this matter! You must always point out the way."

"This cotton is what His Royal Highness King Jin asked Honglu Temple for."

Changsun Wuji said something and left.

Chapter 460

That was all he knew, and Changsun Wuji knew nothing about why Hou Junji was sent to the Anxi Protectorate to reclaim wasteland.

Hou Junji didn't go back to the mansion at this time, and this time he went back with question marks on his forehead, and he couldn't sleep.At this time, he simply went directly to Prince Jin's mansion.

The king of Jin asked Honglu Temple for the things, and the king of Jin knew more or less about this matter, and the king of Jin often went to the Ganlu Hall and the Lizheng Hall recently, and he could always hear some rumors.

At this time, when they arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion, the guards of the Palace went in to report. After a while, Hou Junji saw the King of Jin and came out of the mansion to greet him in person.

As soon as he sat down in the living room, a maid served tea.

"Chen Guogong is a rare visitor, try the tea produced in Lingnan."

Hou Jun holds several positions in his body, but this Duke is not a real position, but closer to a title of title, somewhat similar to a captain's son-in-law, and more of an honor.

"Your Highness, Jun Ji won't make any detours, just straight to the point. Does Your Highness know why His Majesty suddenly sent his ministers to the Anxi Protectorate?"

"Father's Dynasty Council hasn't clarified this matter? Let Chen Guogong go to Anxi to supervise the land reclamation, and then supervise Anxi's military affairs. It shouldn't be long before the Duke and Lord should be the Anxi Governor."

"Here, why did Junji go there all of a sudden?"

"This king suggested it!"

"Your Highness,..."

Hou Junji didn't know what to say all of a sudden. Was it obvious that he was going to drive himself to the frontier? With his official position and power, if he really wanted to be the Protector of Anxi, he would be demoted!And it's not a normal drop, it's really a drop again and again.

At this time, Hou Junji can be said to be proud of the spring breeze, his official fortune is prosperous, and his relationship with the prince has always been very good. His son-in-law Helan Chushi is currently working in the East Palace, and he is very close to the prince Li Chengqian.

He used to be Lu Guogong, but he was renamed Chen Guogong.

Before being an official position, he was the Minister of the Ministry of War, but now he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Chief Supervisor of Jiaohe Road. No matter which position he is in, it is no better than being the Protector of Anxi.

Moreover, Anxi is far away from the border, a place of bitter cold, but at this time he is in Chang'an.

But at this moment Hou Junji looked at King Jin, but couldn't say a word.

His Majesty's imperial power is already here, and it is impossible to change things at this time. It is actually meaningless to argue with King Jin.

No matter what Hou Junji did or said at this time, he would definitely go to Anxi this time, and it was a sacred order.

At this time, there is no need to have any disputes with the King of Jin again. If he offends the King of Jin again, who knows what he will say to the Holy One.

At this time, Hou Junji could only look at King Jin with an ugly expression. Li Zhi glanced at Hou Junji, and naturally knew what he was thinking at this moment.

Li Zhi walked beside Hou Junji, and patted the shoulder of the famous Tang general.

"Chen Guogong, it's better to go to Anxi to plant cotton. You plant cotton in Anxi, and this king is also planting cotton in the palace. We are doing the same thing."

Hou Junji's sad reminder, at this time, he can't reason with Jin Wang, let alone angrily denounce such things.

He could only say goodbye to King Jin, and left the Prince Jin's mansion quickly.

"Master Hou seems very unhappy!"

Cui Yan was preparing to find King Jin for something, and he couldn't help laughing after hearing this sentence.

"Six good books, it's no wonder that His Royal Highness is so happy to go to the frontier to grow cotton as a duke of the state."

"It's better to go to the frontier to grow cotton, it's safer than staying in the muddy pool of Chang'an."

Li Zhi said something and looked at Cui Yan.

"Sister Cui, do you have anything to do with me?"

"This was sent by Zhuyuan early in the morning. Just now when His Highness was with Lord Hou, the people in Zhuyuan gave me this cotton cloth."

Li Zhi took it, and it really felt much better than yesterday, and he didn't know how the garment workshop handled the cotton cloth.In later generations, the cotton cloth would be treated with a softener, which is naturally not available at this time.

It doesn't matter, the people of later generations have the methods of later generations, and the ancients have the methods of the ancients. What Li Zhi needs is only soft cotton cloth, not the somewhat hard cotton cloth like the filial piety of later generations.

At this time, after putting away the piece of cotton cloth, he called Chuntao and told her to prepare the chariot and horses, and he wanted to rush to the palace.

At this time in the East Palace, Li Chengqian had already called Han Wang Li Yuanchang to the East Palace.

This pair of uncles and nephews who were basically the same age had just met, and Li Yuanchang noticed that the prince's complexion was not right.

"Uncle Seventh Emperor, you are finally here. Hou Junji was sent by his father to plant cotton in Anxi. Have you heard about it?"

"I just heard about it, so I came to look for His Highness."

"Father transferred Hou Junji away from Chang'an at this time, what exactly does it mean?"

"I don't know about this either. When I first came here, I sent someone to go to the Duke's Mansion and asked Mr. Hou to come over."

"Is the father deliberately dismissing the people around me? All the cultural relics of the dynasty know that Hou Junji is from the palace."

"Your Highness, please be safe and don't be impatient. We don't know what's going on at this time, so don't mess yourself up."

"How can I not be in a hurry. The emperor father said those words to Shangguanyi in Hongwen Pavilion before, and now he is in a hurry to transfer Hou Junji to Anxi. Is it just a coincidence?"

After Li Chengqian said this, he couldn't sit still anymore and stood up. He wanted to walk a few steps in the hall at random, but he just took two steps, and his steps were already messed up.

"By the way, Uncle Seventh Emperor, what's the arrangement with King Wei? Father is so urgent now. If we don't do anything, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"Your Highness, arrangements have been made with King Wei, and we can do it at any time."

"Then let your people do it as soon as possible, before it's too late. When the father discusses changing the position of crown prince in the court, it will be too late for us to do it."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Okay, Seventh Emperor Uncle, you have to arrange it now, and it must be done properly, so that no one can suspect Ben Gong."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, that person has been in Wei Wang's residence for three years, and Wei Wang has never been wary of her."

Li Chengqian waved his hand, Li Yuanchang hurriedly withdrew from the Lizheng Hall, left the East Palace, and was busy with this matter.

At this time, Hou Junji had scolded King Jin all the way in his heart, but no matter how much he scolded, this matter was irreversible, His Majesty said that he had to go to Anxi this time.

No matter how unwilling Hou Junji was at this time, he could only hand over the matter at hand, and then go to various places to recruit households to go to Anxi.

This time, His Royal Highness King Jin suffered enough. Chen Guogong actually wanted to go to Anxi to plant cotton in a dignified book.

However, the king of Jin also said that the Duke went to Anxi to plant cotton, and this king planted cotton in the palace, and they did the same thing.

Hey, Jin Wang really hurt himself by messing around this time.

Hou Junji was listless, and even returned to Chen Guogong's mansion with a little depression. His expression made those concubines who usually served him dare not approach him when they saw him.

Chapter 461

Hou Junji didn't think that the King of Jin was targeting him on purpose. If it were King Wei, he would definitely be targeting him on purpose, but he was the King of Jin.

On weekdays, Hou Junji chatted with the prince, and when it came to King Jin, His Royal Highness the prince always said that his younger brother was the most nonsense.

I didn't think it before, but now Hou Junji has completely learned the lesson.

Thinking about it now, this His Highness is not the most nonsense, his usual path is totally different from other princes.

Take the last trip to Xingyang as an example, as far as he dared to hold the eldest wife of the Zheng family and hit the eldest wife of the Zheng family, which prince would do it.

On weekdays, the King of Jin is also messing around. He even brought back a pair of pandas when he went to the middle of Sichuan.How dare this other prince, he is not afraid of attracting the attention of the emperor.

Let's take a small matter, this Highness dared to let his sister stay overnight in the mansion, the prince said that his younger brother was too nonsense, if it wasn't for his mother's doting, he would have gone to Zongzheng Temple a few times.

The other princes tried their best to do orthodox things, but King Jin did whatever he wanted.

The last autumn hunt made everyone feel helpless. The rabbits they caught were roasted and eaten. How could ordinary people cook them.

Hou Junji sighed, he just felt that he had been tortured by the King of Jin, but at this time, he still sent someone to invite the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to the mansion.

In fact, most of the time, the six ministers don't care about the real situation, and even a few senior ones don't go to the government office where they are on weekdays.

Therefore, Shang Shu is not inseparable from the government office where he is. At this time, he can only hand over the matter, and then he is busy. When the spring comes, he will not be able to recruit enough Han people.

At this time, Li Zhi had already arrived at the palace and presented a piece of cotton cloth to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at it, but he didn't understand anyway, he is a majestic emperor, how could he understand fabrics such as cotton cloth?

"Zhier, is this made of cotton?"

"Yes, Father!"

"It feels much better than hemp, but worse than silk."

Li Shimin doesn't understand either!I can only pretend to say something, but I can't say nothing.

"Father, this cotton cloth is indeed inferior to silk, but silk is too rare. The silk produced in the south of the Yangtze River in a year is only enough for the wealthy and nobles. How can ordinary people dare to think about it?"

"Yes, this cotton cloth is indeed much better than hemp, but I don't know how to make it into clothes."

"Zhi'er asked Zhuyuan's garment workshop to weave cotton cloth. When there is enough cotton cloth, they can make a few pure cotton clothes. Zhi'er will definitely dedicate them to the emperor and queen as soon as possible."
