Chapter 785 Generosity (1st update)
Yan Huisheng went to see the emperor.
The emperor was sitting alone at the window of the west hall. When he saw him coming, he turned back and looked at him, "Why do you come to see me so soon? Have you visited your Aunt Zhenmin's private treasury?"
"I've seen it." Yan Huihui looked at the emperor. He had rarely seen the emperor's lonely and depressed expression. It was as if his whole body had lost all its strength, and something that had been stubbornly persisting in his body had dissipated.
The emperor pointed at him, asked him to sit down, and said to him: "I'm sorry for my cousin. She promised herself to Chu Rong back then, and Chu Rong was willing to send troops for her to fight against the great Wei Dynasty together with Daliang. But I was afraid, so in the face of the treacherous trick of the Wei Dynasty to get her to marry him, I begged my cousin to let her break her promise to Chu Rong and agree to marry the Wei Dynasty."
Yan Huisheng didn’t know this because no one had ever told him.
The emperor looked at his expression and said, "Only she and I know, not even the late emperor and the queen mother. But Chu Rong should know, after all, they had signed a marriage contract at that time. If she didn't ask Chu Rong to agree, There is no way to marry Da Wei."
Yan Huisheng pursed her lips.
"It's true that I am selfish, but part of the reason is also for the sake of the country. I don't dare to bet that even with the help of Nan Chu, I can defeat the Wei Dynasty." The emperor said: "Over the years, I often think back to those days, and I always think Do you want me to have no regrets? If I had to do it again, what would I do? Should I fight to the death with Wei, or should I still beg my cousin to stop the war?"
He paused, "There is no answer."
Yan Hui was silent, not knowing what to say.
The emperor looked at Yan Huihui and said, "Whether you are a prince or an emperor, once you make a decision, there is no turning back. Over the years, what happened back then has always been a demon in my heart."
Yan Huihui did not speak.
The emperor took a long breath and said, "So, it is right for Chu Rong to resent me, and I have nothing to say. The relationship between Daliang and Nanchu has long been in name only. I thought it could not be eased, but I didn't expect that your friendship with Su Rong , which is extraordinary, and has tied Nanchu and Daliang tightly together again."
“She has a life-saving grace for Erchen.” Yan replied: “She is also Erchen’s cousin, and she has helped him a lot.”
"Daliang and Nanchu have joined forces this time to defeat the Wei Dynasty, which is really satisfying. In these years, I was confused and did not seek to rejuvenate the country. I was deeply involved in the imperial power, strife and difficulties, and wanted to be the emperor. But in retrospect, I made the mistake The country has been harmed. Otherwise, if we have enough food and supplies to fight against the Wei Dynasty this time, we will not stop here, and we may be able to reach the Wei Dynasty." The emperor sighed, "But now it is too late to regret it. But I beg you and Su Rong, Daliang and Nanchu, as well as the day of another battle against the Wei Dynasty, horses trampling the royal court, I don’t know if I can still see it in my lifetime."
“Ten years.” Yan Huisheng finally said, “Father, please protect the dragon body and you will see it.”
The emperor nodded, "I hope so!"
He looked at Yan Hui and said, "Most of Princess Zhenmin's properties are in the capital. I don't plan to give them to Su Rong. She is now the daughter of Nanchu, so she doesn't lack this. After all, these properties belong to the Daliang royal family. All. Sooner or later, Nanchu will take off the title of vassal state of Daliang. Su Rong and Daliang will not be vassals. For the sake of future royal descendants a hundred years later, it is not appropriate to give these properties to her. But these years I have treated her The profits from the industrial operation and everything she had left in the palace's private treasury can be given to her."
Yan Hui nodded. He didn't think Su Rong would care about that, "My son, I have no objection."
The emperor waved to him, "If you are here for this matter, I have already told you, you can go and get busy!"
Yan Huisheng did come for this matter. Now that his good father had said everything he should and shouldn't say, he had nothing to say. He stood up and said, "Father, take care of your dragon body and rest early."
Yan Huisheng walked out of the west hall. When he stepped out of the threshold, he looked back and saw the emperor looking out the window again. He was clearly the emperor, but suddenly he looked like an old man with nothing, lonely and lonely.
After he returned to the East Palace, he wrote a letter and sealed it with wax. He did not send anyone to send it away immediately, but planned to send troops and horses together with those things to send to Nanchu. The next day, the emperor sent someone to deliver seven or eight things to the princess's mansion.
Qingping happily accepted it. After the palace servant left, she opened it and took a look. She was suddenly shocked, "When did the emperor become so generous?"
They are all good things, and there are two of them that are better than everything in her house put together.
Duan Hua said happily from the side: "Uncle Huang is so generous, I would like to thank Uncle Huang on behalf of Su Rong."
“Being kind to the prince and being a good concubine will be the best way to repay your uncle.” Qingping reached out and tapped her forehead.
Duanhua smiled and said, "Okay."
Another day later, hundreds of things were sent from the East Palace. Some were given by the prince and some were given by the queen, and they were all delivered to the princess's house.
Qing Ping took a deep breath, "Won't this empty out the East Palace?"
The housekeeper smiled and said, "No, there are still most of the things in His Highness's warehouse that the Queen Mother gave to His Highness the Crown Prince back then, and some have been moved."
Qingping remembered and breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, I remembered. The Queen Mother loves the Prince the most. Before she died, she gave him all her things."
She said and laughed, "I was jealous for a long time at the beginning."
As a biological daughter, she didn’t get many things. The Queen Mother gave half of it to Sister Zhenmin at first, and then half of it was given to the Crown Prince. The others didn’t get a few things. If you count them carefully, they can be ignored.
She quickly accepted it and asked people to go to the guest house to invite the caravan manager Renren. Then she asked Duanhua, "Have you finished writing the letter to Su Rong?"
"Not yet. It's not because I haven't prepared all the thank-you gifts. I can't write them either." Duan Hua shook her head. After all, she had to indicate in the letter which things belonged to her parents in the Princess Mansion and which things belonged to her. , which things were added by the emperor's uncle, and which things were given by the prince's cousin and the empress.
"It's all done now, go and write quickly." Qingping handed the gift list to Duanhua and urged her.
Duanhua nodded, took the gift list, and immediately went back to his room to write a letter.
She wrote this letter thickly, covering more than a dozen pieces of paper. After writing it, she still felt that it was not enough, but the envelope could not fit in it, so she had no choice but to give up, seal the letter with wax, and send it to her mother.
The head of Su Rong's caravan had already arrived with his people. When he saw Princess Qingping and the housekeeper counting and handing over the gifts for him to take away, he was stunned and said, "Princess, princess, this is too much."
My master gave me a large car as a gift. I'm afraid this gift of two large cars would be too much, right? He guessed that the master probably didn't expect it either.
"Just take it away. This is not only a gift from the princess's house, but also from your majesty and the prince." Qingping said: "Be careful."
The person in charge could only nod and carefully lead the people to accept it.
