"Is that so?"
Wang De was a little stunned, but since Princess Wanfu had an explanation, he couldn't say anything.
"Then you come into the palace with me. I'll arrange for you to wait in the side hall first. It's quite cold to stand here. Your Majesty's morning court has just begun, so it will take a while."
"Thank you very much, Eunuch Wang De."
Wang De smiled and waved his hand, then took Qiu Shuang into the palace, arranged for her to stay in the side hall next to the royal study, and also asked someone to prepare a brazier and hot tea for him.
Above the court, Emperor Hongwen had received the news from the south.
Southern Xinjiang is indeed on the verge of making a move, and many troops have already been assembled on the border.
There is a strong tendency to prepare for war.
This is a very serious issue. As soon as he mentioned it to him earlier, all the officials were in an uproar.
"Your Majesty, the top priority is that I believe it is necessary to reconcile the alliance with Beichu as soon as possible."
Wu Shilang, who had always advocated reconciliation, stood up and spoke again.
When his voice fell, many civil servants immediately stood up and agreed.
However, Wen Songtao and Dong Xiang, the two leading civil servants, did not express their stance, and neither did the military generals.
After Emperor Hongwen finished speaking, he stopped talking and listened to what the ministers below said to each other.
After a while, Wang De came back, and Emperor Hongwen glanced at him.
Wang De reported in a low voice, and Emperor Hongwen frowned slightly, but quickly returned to his previous appearance.
"The reconciliation alliance is indeed beneficial to the current situation, but regarding the hatred of the people and military generals towards Beichu, do you have any good ways to resolve it?"
"I heard that there are many voices among the people now, saying that even if the court agrees, they will not agree. What do you think about this?"
"I don't want the imperial court to lose the support of the people because of the incident in southern Xinjiang. You must know that the support of the people is more important than anything else."
As soon as these words came out, those civil servants immediately shut up.
It's not like they haven't heard these voices, and they also know how determined these voices are. It's not easy to resolve the hatred in these people's hearts.
This is not a good job.
"Your Majesty, didn't the Minister of Literature say earlier that he was trying to find a way? I wonder if it will be effective?"
Wu Shilang spoke again.
Now Wen Songtao, who was standing in front, could no longer remain silent.
"Your Majesty, I am planning to report this matter, but I am incompetent and cannot be persuaded. Please ask your Majesty to select another wise minister to handle this matter."
This matter was really difficult to handle. When Wen Songtao took the initiative to ask for help, he knew that a reconciliation alliance with Beichu would be very beneficial to them.
Secondly, as the head of civil servants and a confidant of His Majesty, he also needed to stand up in that situation, otherwise His Majesty would be very embarrassed.
Afterwards, he also tried it, and the result is needless to say.
It can be seen from the current rumors among the people that it must not be done.
"In this way, since Mr. Wu agrees with this matter, I think it is feasible, but the people's sentiments must also be considered. I will leave it to Mr. Wu to appease the people's sentiments, and I will do it as soon as possible."
As a result, Wu Shilang felt a little panicked.
This thing is difficult to handle, and he knows it. Now if I leave it to him, how can I say it won’t be easy to handle?
"Your Majesty, minister."
"There is no need to say more about this matter. Someone has to take care of it."
"Now that everyone is talking about Southern Xinjiang's imminent move, what should we do in Dongzhou?"
Emperor Hongwen directly changed the topic, and the matter was considered a foregone conclusion. If he spoke again, he might anger Emperor Hongwen, but Wu Shilang did not dare.
Afterwards, everyone discussed the matter of guarding against southern Xinjiang for an hour.
They all advocated sending troops and horses to take precautions.
In response, Emperor Hongwen issued an order directly, and several generals were assigned work.
After the dynasty was over, Emperor Hongwen went directly to the imperial study. As soon as he sat down, he asked Wang De to call Qiu Shuang over.
"This slave has met Your Majesty."
Emperor Hongwen smiled lightly, waved his hand and said, "Without courtesy, bring your lady's memorial to me for a look."
Qiu Shuang stood up quickly and handed over the memorial respectfully.
After receiving the memorial, Emperor Hongwen asked, "Does your young lady have anything else to explain?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Miss just asked the servant to deliver the memorial to you personally, nothing else."
Emperor Hongwen nodded and then slowly unfolded the memorial.
Lu Yaoyao's memorial this time is very thick and contains a lot of content.
At first glance, Emperor Hongwen was still frowning, but when he looked at him, his face showed a look of surprise, and finally he was ecstatic and stood up excitedly.
"Okay, okay, Wanfu, this is a good idea."
"Wang De, hurry up and tell Prime Minister Wen and Dong to come over."
Wang De responded quickly.
"etc."
As Emperor Hongwen spoke, he looked at Qiu Shuang again and asked with a smile, "I remember your name is Qiu Shuang, right?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is Qiu Shuang who has reduced the name of this slave."
"Okay, you are very good, you deserve a reward."
"Go back and tell your lady that I agree with her, just go ahead and do it. If you need anything, come to me."
Qiu Shuang quickly saluted and thanked her, then followed Wang De out of the imperial study, and then left the palace with the reward.
Not long after, Prime Minister Dong and Prime Minister Wen, who had just left the court, appeared in the imperial study.
Emperor Hongwen directly handed the memorial written by Lu Yaoyao to the two of them.
"Let's all take a look. This is the memorial sent over by Wanfu this morning."
The two nodded. They all saw Qiu Shuang at the entrance of the palace just now, and Wen Songtao also knew that Qiu Shuang was here to deliver a memorial for Lu Yaoyao.
I just didn't know the content of the memorial. At this time, Emperor Hongwen handed it over, and Wen Songtao read it first. He was fascinated by it.
After reading it for a while, I finally came to my senses and sighed in surprise, "Princess Wanfu is really a talented person."
As he spoke, he handed the memorial to Prime Minister Dong.
After a while, Prime Minister Dong also folded the memorial in shock.
"Do you two think Wanfu's method is good?"
Wen Songtao nodded and said, "Of course it's excellent, you can try it."
"If we can follow what Princess Wanfu said, this will definitely be a good thing for Dongzhou, and it will even play a vital role in the development of Dongzhou for a long time in the future."
"I also think that Princess Wanfu can give it a try."
Seeing that both ministers agreed, Emperor Hongwen also nodded.
"This girl is really a person who does great things quietly. It can be predicted that if we develop according to what she said, our national power in Dongzhou will show rapid growth in the future."
"But there is one thing we must pay attention to."
"If these things are really as profitable as she said, I'm afraid it will attract a lot of people's prying eyes."
Both of them nodded. Money and silk are very attractive. Forget about porcelain, colored glaze is really good. If Lu Yaoyao can really make it, the profit from it will be amazing.
I'm afraid that it will attract the attention of many businessmen and aristocratic families in their country.
But Lu Yaoyao said in her memorial that she would not sell these products in China, nor would she allow domestic people to buy them.
The reason is very simple, these things are all flashy stuff.
They also think this is good.
