Chapter 320 Unification of the World 14
Wu Cui'er selected fifty wives for Han Zhongwei and asked Han Zhongwei to select thirty. She wanted to arrange for Han Zhongtian to marry them at one time. It would be okay if Han Zhongwei didn't choose. Wu Cui'er liked these fifty beauties very much. She would arrange for these fifty beautiful women to marry Han Zhongwei together.
Han Zhongwei felt a little crazy when he married thirty women at once? He might have never met her. He felt a little crazy. He wanted to refuse, but this was what Wu Cui'er hoped. Whenever he saw her eager hope, Han Zhongwei forced himself to hold it back. He didn't want to see Wu Cui'er disappointed, he didn't want Wu Cui'er to be sad for him. He hoped that Wu Cui'er would be happy and happy. If these thirty women could make her happy, Han Zhongwei was willing to give it a try. Anyway, after marriage, it was his own business to have sex with them.
But Han Zhongwei thought Wu Cui'er too simple. Han Zhongwei selected thirty women, and these people could be called "sinking fish and falling geese, and shaking flowers" and getting married with them was very simple. Unlike marrying Zhao Yuting, Han Zhongwei is the king of the country now. What he needs to do is just the next order, and the rest will be handled by others. There is no traditional church. These people are not his wife, they just need to hold a ceremony. Even Han Zhongwei doesn't need to come forward, so he has thirty more partners for him to have sex.
Han Zhongwei's original idea was that things would come to an end at this point. But in fact, it was far from the same. Wu Cui'er numbered these three women one by one, and each woman accompanied her for three nights, 90 days a cycle. Moreover, Wu Cui'er also intervened in Han Zhongwei's diet, such as bullwhip, duck soup, deer antler, deer blood, etc., as long as it is a big tonic, she would try to let Han Zhongwei eat it in different ways, and it would not be possible to get angry. At night, Wu Cui'er naturally didn't need to worry anymore.
Although Zhao Yuting has made some slight remarks about this, which woman is willing to share her man with others? But she cannot make any fierce moves. Once a woman is beaten to a reputation of jealousy, it will be difficult for her to turn over again in her life.
Han Zhongwei's health is already very good, and since he was sixteen years old, he has been practicing internal skills and mental methods. As long as he is willing, he does not need any auxiliary food to Wu Cui'er, he can fight them for 300 rounds. He is energetic and handles political affairs during the day, allowing China to flourish under his governance. At night, Han Zhongwei's son-making movement is also underway.
In two years, Han Zhongwei's economy, culture and administration made great progress, because Han Zhongwei adopted low agricultural taxes, increased commercial taxes, improved the status of merchants, vigorously developed advanced productivity, and worked hard to spread various new technologies, which raised China's overall economic strength to a new level.
China has a large territory, and its area is more than twice that of the Song Dynasty. Han Zhongwei has adopted a policy of vigorously developing agriculture and commerce. Han Zhongwei even set up a special economic zone near Yingzhou, Jiangnan District, where all farmers and merchants do not need to pay taxes for ten years, and most importantly, ten years later, the tax revenue of the special economic zone will only be one-third of that in other parts of China.
The establishment of the Yingzhou Special Economic Zone has a direct impact on Lin'an's business. Many merchants have carefully calculated that if they move the workshop to Yingzhou, produce it there, and then transport it back by water, the cost is even lower than in Lin'an, and the raw materials in Yingzhou are much cheaper than in Lin'an, of course, there is also labor. For merchants, Yingzhou seems to be their paradise, and there is no taxes, rent of houses, remuneration for personnel, and price of raw materials, they are all irresistible temptations.
It turns out that some merchants in Lin'an were attracted to China. Now that the Yingzhou Special Economic Zone was established, Lin'an's workshops were moved away in large numbers. Although Lin'an was still so prosperous on the surface, it was even more prosperous than before, but in fact, its roots had slowly moved to China. If Han Zhongwei suddenly ordered that Yingzhou's goods would no longer be sold to Jiangnan District, Lin'an might soon be in a dilemma of no goods to sell.
Compared with China's rise, the situation in Jiangnan District is much worse. Shi Miyuan's power, the constraints of keeping the right, Zhao Kuo's unique governance methods, and Queen Yang's harem interference in politics all make Jiangnan District like a riddled hole and crumbling, but it's like a small boat in the sea with storms and waves, and it's possible to be overturned by a wave at any time.
In two years, Shi Miyun completely gained power in the court. Although Liu Zheng was still the left prime minister, he had completely marginalized. The matter in Jiangnan District was now decided by Shi Miyuan. Even Empress Yang and Yang Cishan could no longer have any constraints on him.
But Shi Miyuan also clearly realized that there was a powerful China outside the Jiangnan District, and Jiangnan District is now only a part of China. He could do whatever he wanted in Jiangnan District, but that was all.
Although China signed an agreement with Jiangnan District to never interfere with the internal affairs of Jiangnan District, never use force against Jiangnan District, and never make any designs for Jiangnan District, Shi Miyuan always thinks of a powerful China and the powerful Han Zhongwei, he will not be able to sleep. If there is this agreement and Jiangnan District can come out again, that would be great.
But Shi Miyuan also knew that this could only exist in his imagination. The State of Song has now become the Jiangnan District of China, and may be in the Jiangnan Road or Jiangnan Province of China in the future. But as long as such things do not happen during his tenure, or such things should not happen in his lifetime, he will be satisfied. As for what will happen in the Jiangnan District after his death, this is not something he can control.
Although Shi Miyuan was the most important official in Jiangnan District, he, the most important official in Jiangnan District, had no confidence in the future of Jiangnan District. Shi Miyuan had two sons, the eldest son stayed in Lin'an and was developing his career, preparing to let him take over his job. The younger son went to Zhongdu and went to secretly, and three years ago, when he was not yet an adult, and the Song State had not yet become the Jiangnan District of China. At that time, Shi Miyuan had already purchased a house in Zhongdu.
Now Shi Miyuan feels that no matter what kind of changes happen in Jiangnan District in the future, the Shi family will not be in trouble. Moreover, Shi Miyuan feels that as long as he is still in the position of Youya and the Privy Councilor of Jiangnan District, there will be no changes in Jiangnan District, and he will not allow any changes in Jiangnan District.
Shi Miyuan thought carefully that the only thing that could cause trouble in Jiangnan District is the only thing that could cause trouble in Jiangnan District, the problem of the government having no children. Zhao Kuo's eight sons died before they grew up, and the crown prince's sons were also empty. Originally, the two years ago, Zhao Kuo decided to take a royal family to the palace and raise it as a prince. But at that time, China suddenly rose, and Zhao Kuo was in terror all day. Later, after Xin Qiji came to Lin'an, he once thought about surrendering. Later, because Han Zhongwei did not intend to use force against Song State, Zhao Kuo's heart slowly calmed down.
Zhao Kuo was so scared that he was still in a state of shock. Of course, the matter of establishing a crown prince was stranded. Now, Jiangnan District has been stable for more than two years, and Shi Miyuan is also a high-ranking minister. Whether for his position or the future of Jiangnan District, he could not let Zhao Kuo have no descendants and Jiangnan District have no masters.
After selection, the descendants of Zhao Dezhao, the eldest son of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, were selected. Both Zhao Kuang and Shi Miyuan were very satisfied. Therefore, they were immediately sent to the palace and named Zhao Huo. At the same time, they were also named Duke Wei. Duke Wei's character is similar to Zhao Kuo, and he is not very old, only eleven years old, so Zhao Kuo and Shi Miyuan are both very satisfied.
However, there were unexpected events in the world. Although Duke Wei's performance after entering the palace was very satisfactory, his relationship with the King of Hell was not very good. Before he entered the palace, he fell ill and died of illness. He was only thirteen years old when he died, which made Shi Miyuan feel regretful. Although Duke Wei had only entered the palace for a year, Shi Miyuan spent countless efforts on him.
Regarding the major issues related to the "founding of the country", Zhao Kuo and Shi Miyuan have the same mind. Both of them are busy looking for suitable people to be princes. Zhao Kuo's son is one child and one dies. Now Duke Wei has just been regarded as his adopted son for only one year and died again. This makes many people who are qualified to become princes panic. Now who is a prince means that they will die soon, so they do not want to be chosen. After all, no one thinks that their lives are too long. Being a prince means that they can become the crown prince, that is, they will become the emperor in the future. Everyone thinks of this, but they also need to have a life to enjoy it.
Everyone knows that although Zhao Kuo is the main thing in choosing a prince, Shi Miyuan also has a great influence on this matter. Therefore, those who are qualified to become princes have gone to Shi Mansion one after another as if they had agreed. Although they are all royal relatives, they have really brought great gifts to Shi Miyuan. They only have one purpose. Please ask Lord Shi to be proud and not let them choose.
This result made Shi Miyuan laugh and laugh, and he always rushes to be the crown prince. However, now, everyone avoids it. Just like this crown prince is a plague god, everyone wants to hide when they see it. In fact, this also shows the embarrassing situation in Jiangnan District. The prince's attractiveness is far less than before. The position of the crown prince is not attractive, which means that the official position does not have much glory.
So many people have clearly stated that they do not want to be the crown prince, so there is no choice left, which makes Shi Miyuan quite a headache. But he cannot force the descendants of the royal family to be the prince. After the last choice, he had to list Zhao Guihe, the son of the dead Zhao Han, as the prince. Zhao Guihe himself was nothing unusual, but his son Zhao Han was the one who the former emperor Zhao Dun decided to replace Zhao Kuo as the emperor. If Zhao Guihe can really ascend the throne safely, the throne will return to the original lineage.
After Zhao Guihe entered the palace, he named Zhao Rong, and he had become the crown prince of the country. Of course, his actual identity is still a prince, but he was granted the title of the governor of Ningwu Army and was named Duke of Qi.
Shi Miyuan was actually not very satisfied with Zhao Qiang. He had previously investigated Zhao Qian's personality. He was straightforward and reckless. According to the current saying, he was young and vigorous. With such a personality, he was not a good candidate. But now there are not many people who can choose. In addition, Zhao Kuo felt guilty about Zhao Qian, and he hoped that the throne could be passed back to Zhao Qian's lineage. In this matter, although Shi Miyuan had a certain influence, the final decision was Zhao Kuo. It was already amazing that he could recommend several candidates to Zhao Kuo.
Since Zhao Rong has been identified as the prince, Shi Miyuan has to establish a good relationship with him in advance. This is the same as Zhao Rong. As long as Zhou Xiang’s arrangements are made in advance, he will still be smooth sailing when Zhao Rong ascends the throne in the future.
Zhao Hong had a relatively elegant hobby and liked to play the piano. In order to play Zhao Hong's preference, Shi Miyuan searched everywhere, and finally he found a beautiful woman who was good at playing the piano. This beautiful woman was from a poor family, so Shi Miyuan gave her a lot of money to her family and asked her father to work as a minor official in the government office. She completely bribed the woman and presented it to Zhao Hong, which was considered as a detailed work by the prince.
This woman's serving beauty and wisdom coexist, she deliberately flatters Zhao Hong. In addition, the two have a common hobby, Zhao Hong also loves her very much. When she is with her, she talks everything, which makes Zhao Hong win a beautiful plan.
How could Zhao Rong have thought that his favorite beauty would be Shi Miyuan's detailed work? It is precisely because of this that Zhao Rong will pay the price for his rashness. For example, once, Zhao Rong wrote down the collusion between Shi Miyuan and Queen Yang, put it on the table, and said angrily: "The chaotic Shi Miyuan should be assigned to Ba Qianli."
That's not all. Zhao Feng pulled the beauty to look at the map with no problem, pointed at Qiong, and said, "When I am in power in the future, I must exile Shi Miyuan here."
Where is Qiong, where is Qiong? It is now Haikou, Hainan and Sanya, Hainan. These places are of course prosperous cities and resorts, but at that time, they were barbaric lands, without a crowd of thousands of miles of people. Exile there was no difference from exile.
Zhao Rong also gave Shi Miyuan a new name, "Xinen", which means that Shi Miyuan will be demoted to Xinzhou or Nanenzhou in the future. Both places are now in Guangdong and were also relatively remote areas at that time.
Zhao Rong may indeed have the determination to revive the imperial power. He even told the beauty that if he becomes the emperor in the future, he must revive the military and attack the Central Plains in the north, and slaughter Han Zhongwei, a rebel thief.
If Zhao Feng held heavy troops or had already ascended the emperor's position, it would be reasonable for him to say this. But now he has no power in his hands. He is so ignorant when he only takes over a prince's name. He exposes his intentions too early, and challenges Shi Miyuan, who is already full of wings, and even takes Han Zhongwei off the horse. This seems to be no different from committing suicide directly.
Zhao Hong's actions were reported to Shi Miyuan through the detailed works of this beautiful woman. At first, Shi Miyuan wanted to pull Zhao Hong over through hard work. It would save much more effort than killing the prince. Moreover, Song State has become Jiangnan District now. If the royal family changes, who knows whether Han Zhongwei will interfere in Jiangnan District? If Han Zhongwei really gives Han Zhongwei a chance, I am afraid that the good days in Jiangnan District will not be long.
On the seventh day of the seventh month, Shi Miyuan gave Zhao Rong a lot of "begging for fun" to express his feelings to Zhao Rong. However, Zhao Rong and Zhao were not even in a state of mind. He took advantage of the alcohol to smash all the things Shi Miyuan sent to pieces. He was happy, but he also completely offended Shi Miyuan. After this, Shi Miyuan completely gave up on Zhao Rong. In order to protect his power, he had to launch a counterattack against Zhao Rong. It was not Shi Miyuan's personality. Moreover, Zhao Rong has not even made the position of prince clear now, and Shi Miyuan's strength is much stronger than him.
In fact, there are also people around Zhao Hong. His teacher Zhen Dexiu has repeatedly advised him to have a good relationship with Empress Yang and his ministers, especially Shi Miyuan. He hates them no longer in his heart, at least he has to pee in the same pot on the surface, right? If you want to mess with them, when you get on the throne and have power in your hands, you can do whatever you want, but the time is not right now. Like him now, he is clamoring all day long, afraid that Shi Miyuan will not know his thoughts, which is really "deep and worry".
Zhende Xiuxian's plan to hide his low profile should be said to be Zhao Rong's best choice, but Zhao Rong is full of energy, so how can he tolerate any injustice in his heart? He insisted on not listening to Zhende Xiu, and did not follow the way he said. He was careless every day, saying whatever he thought, and he had no idea what the disaster was meant by his mouth.
Seeing that Zhao Hong was an A Dou who could not be helped, Zhen Dexiu had the idea of getting out of the way. With someone like Zhao Hong, not only would he not be promoted to an official position and make money, but he might also be affected by the fish. Therefore, Zhen Dexiu reported to Zhao Kuo and Shi Miyuan and refused to be the prince's teacher. Especially when reporting to Shi Miyuan, Zhen Dexiu almost burst into tears and told Zhao Hong what he did in disguise. This was also a sign of his feelings to Shi Miyuan. I have nothing to do with Zhao Hong. Zhao Hong's behavior is his own personal behavior and has nothing to do with me.
After repeated requests, Zhen Dexiu finally resigned from the position of Prince's teacher. Zhao Hong's situation became even more dangerous without high-level scholars, but the young man didn't feel any danger at all, and he had no intention of restraint at all.
It was at this time that the news that the official was seriously ill from the palace made Zhao Rong both nervous and happy. Wasn't he the reason he was sent to the palace to be a prince? Zhao Rong never thought about whether he was not the legal crown prince now, so he needed to contact the ministers in the court, the eunuchs in the palace, and the generals in the army to protect him. After learning that Zhao Gong was seriously ill, he was in peace and leisurely staying in the prince's mansion in Wansui Lane, waiting for people from the palace to summon him to inherit the throne.
