Chapter 936 Accepting gifts on behalf of grandchildren

 After Prince Ping was about to be named by the emperor, he happily said to the ministers present: "My grandson is one month old, and the palace is holding a banquet. Everyone must be there."

The emperor was speechless: "Your grandson is still in Xiliang."

Prince Ping said solemnly: "Although the child is not here, we will not delay the holding of the full moon banquet. Brother Huang, Yeyang's son is also your grandson. Remember to give gifts on the day of the full moon banquet. Okay, I won't delay you from talking about business."



After saying that, he left the palace in a hurry.

The letter came a little late. His grandson would be one month old in a few days, so he had to rush to invite the princes and ministers.

After receiving gifts from each family, we will send the grandson to Xiliang together.

Watching Prince Ping leave in a hurry, the emperor smiled and shook his head.

Several ministers present were a little envious. Prince Ping was really a noble family member. Among the royal family, princes, princes, and ministers, he was the only one who dared to be so presumptuous in front of the emperor.

Not long after Prince Ping left, several ministers also left the palace.

As soon as they came out, several people started talking about Prince Ping.

The Minister of Hubu sighed: "Our prince is really lucky. He is protected by the emperor above and has a capable son below. He doesn't have to worry about anything. In this capital, few people can live more comfortably than him."



The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought of the large stack of coupons asking for grain and money piled on his desk.

Fortunately, he still had Yan Zhigao under his command, so he was able to successfully acquire the Yan family's high-yielding grain seeds, relieving some of the pressure.

The emperor just heard that Princess Xiao had cultivated high-yielding, drought- and cold-resistant cotton seeds and corn seeds in Xiliang. After returning to the Ministry of Finance later, he would have to find a way to get some from Yan Zhigao.

The Secretary of the Ministry of War agreed with his face: "Isn't it true? When Xiao Yeyang was demoted to Xiliang, almost no one thought highly of him, but as for him, he finally established a firm foothold in Xiliang."

"Seizing the Dan River, building a military town, and building a racecourse, in less than two years, the rank has risen one level. Now he is leading the Xiliang frontier army to fight against Xiliao. If the battle is won, I think that Prince Xiao will do it again.

I’m about to be promoted.”

The Minister of Hubu sighed: "Having a good status is different. If we go to Xiliang, we won't be able to gain a foothold as easily as Prince Xiao."

Hearing this, the Minister of Civil Affairs spoke: "Xiao Yeyang was able to gain a foothold in Xiliang not just because of his status. The situation in Xiliang is not as simple as you think."

"Not to mention conquering the border troops, let's just say that the Wei family, which has been operating in Xiliang for several generations, will not let Xiao Yeyang develop and grow."

"Xiliang is also barren. It is not easy to feed hundreds of thousands of border troops."

"As far as I know, a large part of the cost for the construction of the military town was paid by Xiao Yeyang."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry spoke at this time: "Xiao Yeyang is rich, don't forget, he built the first glazed factory in Daxia, and he has made a lot of money over the years."

The Minister of Household Affairs took the words and said sourly: "Concubine Xiao Shizi still has high-yielding grain seeds in her hands. I went to the outskirts of Beijing last autumn to inspect the autumn harvest, and I saw it with my own eyes. It was the grain in the fields under the names of Prince Xiao and Concubine Xiao Shizi.

Looks the best."

"Originally, I wanted to collect it, but who knew that they would transport it all to Xiliang?"

Minister of the Ministry of Personnel: "Yes, there is money and food. Although we are not short of these, do we dare to use them to build Xiliang like Xiao Yeyang did? Can you and I do it?"

As soon as these words came out, several ministers stopped talking.

There are clansmen behind them, but they are not as courageous as Xiao Yeyang. Of course, they are reluctant to give up.

The Minister of War said: "Now the war between the Xiliang Frontier Army and Xiliao is still in a tug of war. I don't know what the final result will be."

Several other people were a little silent.

As Daxia people, they naturally hope that the Xiliang frontier army will win, but whether it is food or ordnance, the imperial court cannot support Xiliang.

They were just discussing food and salary matters with the emperor.

Now in Daxia, war has broken out only in Xiliang. The navy and Japanese pirates in the East China Sea and South China Sea have been fighting for almost a year.

It is estimated that the people of Xiliao chose to start the war at this time because they knew this.

I just want to seize Xiliang while Daxia has no time to take care of it.

At this moment, several ministers suddenly felt lucky.

Fortunately, Xiao Yeyang was demoted to Xiliang, otherwise the court would be even more stretched at this time.

"Xiao Yeyang is still young after all. If he really can't support it, we can't be too harsh."

"Yes, if Xiliang really can't resist anymore, maybe we can discuss a truce with the Xiliao people."

"The emperor obviously doesn't want this."

"But now the imperial court is really stretched."

"Let's wait for the emperor's orders."

......

Prince Ping's Mansion.

As soon as Prince Ping came back, he went to the study and wrote notes to each family in person.

He doesn't care about things, but he still has good ears. He knows that his son and daughter-in-law have spent a lot of money in Xiliang. With his grandson's full moon this time, he has to get some good things back from everyone.

How come his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson are suffering in the frontier, but the princes and ministers can enjoy themselves in the capital?

Wynn stood in front of the desk and polished his ink. Seeing that his master was writing more and more invitations, even officials below the third rank who had never interacted with him were invited. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

After writing for a whole day, Prince Ping stopped writing and shook his aching arm.

Seeing Prince Ping stop, Huai'en quickly reminded: "My lord, you don't seem to have written anything about the Yan family."

"Yeah, I almost forgot about my in-laws." Prince Ping quickly picked up the pen again and said while writing, "I have a full moon banquet here, should the Yan family have a first-year banquet?"

This way you can receive a gift again.

Huai En was a little speechless: "Your Majesty, the young master is not here, so you have nothing to say to others, but if the Yan family does it, I'm afraid someone will talk about it."

Prince Ping nodded: "That's right, I will handle the first-year banquet."

Wynn: "..." That's fine. The master is the prince. As long as the emperor doesn't object, no one dares to say anything.

After writing the post, Prince Ping sighed sadly.

When Wynn saw it, his face was full of doubts.

Wasn’t the master very happy when he wrote the post?

Prince Ping said with some regret: "I wonder what my grandson looks like?" He really wanted to visit Xiliang, but unfortunately, as a prince, he could not leave the capital without reason.

Huaien said quickly: "The prince and the prince are both extremely handsome people. The young master must be handsome and handsome."

Prince Ping agreed with his face, and then looked at Wynn expectantly: "Do you think it's possible that Mo Xi... looks like me?"

Wynn was silent: "The master is the young master's grandfather, so the young master is naturally like you."

After hearing this, Prince Ping was satisfied: "I think so too."

After saying that, he stood up and ordered his servants to deliver the invitations piled up like a mountain on the table to each family. Then he went to the backyard and ordered Concubine Ji and Concubine Jiang to prepare a banquet of full moon wine.

Concubine Jiang looked at the stiff-looking Concubine Ji with a sneer, then accepted the errand with a smile.

After receiving the note from Prince Ping's Mansion, every family in the capital was at a loss for words.

"You are a prince after all, why are you so..." so thick-skinned?

Please post it, Prince Ping directly stated that he wanted to accept the gift on behalf of his grandson, saying that Xiao Moxi is the eldest grandson of Prince Ping's residence, leaving it up to each family to decide.

When the news reached the emperor's ears, the emperor was silent for a long time.

However, the emperor did not say anything to stop him. Instead, he spread the news that he wanted to give the jade unicorn in his private treasury to Xiao Moxi.
