Chapter 550: The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics
The Yong Dynasty was not as peaceful as it seemed.
It has been two years since Feng Chuankai ascended the throne, but the Prince of Zhennan has never come to the capital to meet the emperor.
Even though he issued three imperial edicts in succession, the Prince of Zhennan refused to take his family to Kyoto to meet the new emperor, claiming that he was not feeling well and was not suitable for the long journey.
The new emperor's dignity was humiliated in this way, and Feng Chuankai wished he could send troops to attack Yunzhou.
But he was stopped by Empress Dowager Yao.
Queen Mother Yao was smarter than her son and had a longer vision.
She saw that Prince Zhennan was testing the new emperor's tolerance for him.
"Your foundation is not stable yet. Yunzhou has the arrogant King Zhennan, and the border King Zhenbei is eyeing you covetously. If you send troops to attack Yunzhou at this time, if you can win, then it's fine. If you can't win, then you will lose everything."
"Your Majesty, you need to learn how to keep a low profile."
Feng Chuankai was dissatisfied. He was already the emperor, but he still had to endure the provocation of Prince Zhennan.
The entire Yong Dynasty belongs to him, and the Prince of Zhennan and the Prince of Zhenbei are not afraid of him at all.
He couldn't help but resent the late emperor, who before his death had bestowed upon Feng Chuanjin the title of King of Zhenbei. If the military power had been given to him at that time, why would he be so timid now?
The Prince of Zhennan was captured in one fell swoop.
Feng Chuankai came out of the Cining Palace in a gloomy mood and met Yao Xinling on the way.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Yao Xinling knelt down and saluted.
Her tender, affectionate and obedient appearance pleased Feng Chuankai.
Yao Xinling is two years older than him, and he used to call her cousin.
She was the most outstanding woman in the Yao family. Her mother loved her the most and once praised Yao Xinling as being as beautiful as a moon and as elegant as brocade.
This is high praise.
The cousin who was once talented and beautiful, now dare not raise her proud head in front of him, and she tries to please him tenderly, begging for a little pity from him.
Feng Chuankai's imperial dignity was greatly comforted at this moment.
"Do you want to pay your respects to the Queen Mother?" Feng Chuankai asked softly, reaching out to help Yao Xinling up.
"Yes." Yao Xinling lowered her eyes and glanced at the place where he touched her.
He suppressed his impatience and answered meekly.
Feng Chuankai said, "The Queen Mother is in a bad mood. You don't need to offend her, or she will vent her anger on you."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in the depths of Yao Xinling's eyes.
If it weren't for Empress Dowager Yao who had been planning for him for so many years, how could Feng Chuankai have sat firmly on the throne with his intelligence?
Now he still feels that the Queen Mother is restricting him in every way and undermining his dignity as an emperor.
He didn't even think about the fact that the previous emperor was on guard against the Prince of Zhennan and didn't dare to offend him easily. How could he have the confidence to send troops against the Prince of Zhennan at this time?
He even sent someone to assassinate Feng Chuanjin.
Yao Xinling always had a premonition that she might not be able to stay on the throne of queen for long.
"The Emperor and the Empress Dowager have political disagreements again?" Yao Xinling asked softly.
Feng Chuankai glanced at her and said, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, Queen. There are some things that are not your business, so don't ask."
Yao Xinling almost sneered out loud.
Without Empress Dowager Yao's interference, does he know what he can do now?
"Have all the people in Hengshui Datantun been replaced?" Feng Chuankai asked.
Yao Xinling said, "Some account books have not been handed over yet, and the others have all been handed over to the Minister of Revenue."
The Minister of Revenue was promoted by Feng Chuankai, and his daughter is his favorite concubine, Concubine Li.
"You are already the queen, so it is indeed inappropriate for you to interfere in the affairs of Chuantun. The Minister of Revenue is in charge, and you will still get some dividends at the end of the year." Feng Chuankai felt that he had been very good to Yao Xinling.
Yao Xinling swallowed the blood in her throat and tried her best to maintain a decent smile on her face.
"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."
Shameless dog!
He takes away other people's hard-earned money with just a few words, and then makes up a bunch of excuses to save his face.
It was hard for Yao Xinling not to feel resentful.
The Queen Mother had clearly promised her that she would not force her to marry and would not marry her off to other powerful people.
As a result, she forced herself to marry Feng Chuankai.
She will be trapped within this yellow-tiled and red-walled house for the rest of her life, and the vast ocean and sky she once enjoyed seem like a dream.
Yao Xinling closed her eyes, hoping that the Queen Mother would not regret it in the future.
"Your Majesty, I have another good news to tell you." Yao Xinling said in a low voice, with a blush on her cheeks.
Feng Chuankai was confused, "What's the matter?"
Yao Xinling smiled, "I am pregnant."
"Really?" Feng Chuankai's eyes suddenly lit up and he hugged Yao Xinling excitedly.
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that the baby is still young, so you should be careful." Yao Xinling avoided his hug.
Feng Chuankai had many concubines, but strangely, they had no children in all these years.
The imperial physician has always said that the emperor is in good health and there is nothing wrong with him.
Once, Yao Xinling accompanied Feng Chuankai out of the palace and planned to let a doctor from outside see him.
Feng Chuankai was born with difficulty in having children, so she used a lot of medicine on him and finally got him pregnant.
"That's great, Queen. You are really my lucky star." Feng Chuankai could hardly hide his excitement.
He hadn't had any children for so many years, and even the court officials were talking about it secretly. He was actually angry in his heart, but he never thought that the problem was with him.
He is the prince charming, how could he have any health problems?
Isn’t the Queen pregnant?
The concubines in the palace are not enough, so we still have to hold a beauty pageant to select some beauties to enter the palace.
"I finally have a legitimate son, Queen. When you give birth to the child, I will definitely love him well." Feng Chuankai said.
Yao Xinling smiled and said, "I, your concubine, would like to thank the emperor on behalf of my son."
She would definitely give birth to Feng Chuankai's eldest son. As long as her child was born, she would no longer have to tolerate this idiot.
Feng Chuankai held her hand and said, "Let's go and tell the Queen Mother the good news."
Queen Mother Yao was also very worried because he had no children.
"Your Majesty, please don't always be angry with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother restricts you for your own good." Yao Xinling said softly.
The smile on Feng Chuankai's face turned cold.
Yao Xinling continued as if she hadn't seen it, "In fact, the Queen Mother doesn't know that the Emperor has already grown up. In the past, the Tianhe Shipyard could not be brought under the control of the court. Now, under the wise decision of the Emperor, Tianhe City is under the control of the royal family."
“No one else can do this.”
"If the Queen Mother knew about your efforts, she would definitely look upon you with new eyes."
Feng Chuankai's heart was boiling with heat, as if a warm current was flowing up. He was filled with emotion, "The Queen still understands me."
Yao Xinling's eyes were full of admiration, "The Queen Mother will understand you in the future."
"Hmph, the Queen Mother always thinks that her decisions are correct. She never thinks that she is a woman trapped in the harem all day long. How can her vision and breadth of mind be compared to that of men?" Feng Chuankai snorted coldly.
Yao Xinling called out softly, "Your Majesty, we are almost at the Cining Palace."
"Forget it. For your sake, I won't bother with my mother."
Yao Xinling smiled touchingly.
She wanted to take a look. Now even the old boatman had been driven away from the entire Hengshui Ship Village, leaving only some useless people who were only interested in showing off. She was afraid that the money earned from sending out a shipload of goods would not be enough for those termites to embezzle.
it's a pity.
Shen Sui'an had finally managed to reopen the ship town, and it was just a little bit away from regaining its former prosperity.
It's all going to be ruined by this idiot.
