to this point
This made him very envious. In this position, he would never be able to be as free and unscrupulous as he was.
If I give up everything, can I follow my heart and do things freely like him? As soon as this idea popped up, Ming Ye immediately suppressed it, such a dangerous idea must never exist.
How could he be so naive? In this place where people can't spit out their bones, he can only forge ahead and never take a step back. Otherwise, what is waiting for him will be broken into pieces and his bones will never be restored. Think about how many pairs of eyes are staring at him behind him, just waiting for him to make a mistake. At that time, countless hands will pull it down from here and fall into the bottomless abyss .
Occasionally, when he was very tired, he sometimes wondered, if he was not born in an emperor's family, but a commoner, would he be much simpler and happier? But his family background is not something he can choose. Since he is the eldest son of the emperor, he should shoulder his due responsibilities. This is probably a reflection of his life if he can't help himself.
Ming Yu saw the crown prince first, and went up a few steps to salute, "Since I met His Royal Highness the crown prince."
Ming Ye smiled, bowed to the emperor, and then said to Ming Yu: "I used to be called Brother Prince, did you even change your address this time when you came back?"
"This..." Ming Yu scratched his head, the past was the past, because he was still young, so the prince could take care of him a lot, but the prince has said so, so it is hard for him to persist, after all In the future, there will be many places where the prince can be used. Another emperor was still watching from the sidelines, so he pulled La Mingye's sleeve as before, and called out affectionately, "Brother Prince."
Only then was Ming Ye satisfied, and rubbed Ming Yu's head, "It's been a long time since I saw you, I've lost weight and grown taller."
Ming Yu curled her lips in dissatisfaction. She had tried her best to grow taller, but she was rubbed on the top of her head and treated like a child.
Seeing all his little movements, Ming Ye smiled deeper, and said: "I thought you should be here. I heard that you are at Father's side, and I wanted to see you earlier, so I rushed over." After finishing speaking, he respectfully said to the emperor: "Father, my son came here rashly, you don't blame my son for disturbing me, do you?"
The emperor felt happy when he saw the appearance of these two brothers. Ming Yu had only been close to the elder brother, the crown prince since childhood, and Ming Ye was usually cautious, and it was only with Ming Yu that he could show his true temperament. The emperor was also happy to see that the two had deep feelings for each other. Ming Yu's temperament offended people everywhere, so he could rest assured that he would be taken care of by the crown prince in the future.
"But gossip is commonplace, so why bother or not?" The emperor cleared his throat, "Sit down and talk."
"Yes!" Ming Ye responded, and was dragged to sit down by Ming Yu. He smiled and said, "Just now when I came in, I heard my father and my fourteenth brother laughing. I don't know what they are talking about? Can you tell me? ?”
The emperor smiled, "Your fourteenth brother just said that he would cook by himself, and try something new by himself. Old fourteen, the crown prince has worked very hard for your goods, so you can't leave the crown prince behind!" "
Ming Yu blinked, then chuckled, "That must not be left behind, and I have already prepared for it."
Ming Ye was curious, "What's new? Are there new things in this world that even the emperor has never seen before?"
In fact, after thinking about it, Ming Ye knew that it must be something from the Western Regions brought by Ming Yu again, but he figured it out but didn't show it, deliberately pretending not to know. But one sentence praised the emperor high and made the emperor feel comfortable listening.
The emperor laughed heartily, "The world is so big, there are many wonders, and there are many things that I have never seen before. Looking at the things from the Western Regions brought back by the old fourteen, everything is strange and fresh."
Ming Ye patted his head and suddenly said: "That's true. Only the fourteenth brother's unconstrained ideas can create miracles. Fourteenth brother, please tell Gu what he brought this time to make the emperor so happy. "
Ming Yu also talked about the corn thing again in a good manner. Although Ming Ye guessed a little bit, he never thought that Ming Yu was talking about such an important grain.
Under the influence of the emperor since he was a child, his vision is not low, but he is still young, although he always remembers his joy and deeds, but he is not as good as the emperor. After listening to Ming Yu's narration, he almost jumped up, pulled Ming Yu and asked anxiously: "Is what you said true?"
Ming Yu smiled and nodded, "Naturally, breeding is already underway. Although there are not many, you can still try to plant a small part. I believe that it will be fully implemented in the entire Great Yan Kingdom in a few years. One more food, famine Most of the pain can be solved.”
Ming Ye had already thought of the successor that the emperor focused on cultivating. Although the emperor was still a little dissatisfied with his meek temperament, no one is perfect, and human nature cannot be changed by external forces.
The prince's nature is gentle and honest. Under the pressure of the powerful emperor, he has a cautious temperament. It is still possible to be a conservative king, but he is not strong enough to expand the territory. It is also like this, the prince hates war, and he values the people's livelihood far more than conquest of cities and territories.
Now that Ming Yu throws this thing called corn, it is easy to survive, has a high yield, and can fill the stomachs of the people, so why not make the prince ecstatic.
He pulled Ming Yu to ask questions, but Ming Yu's mouth was still dry, and the emperor couldn't stand it anymore, "Okay, the promotion of new crops is not a one-shot deal, if this thing is really good Well, there is no need for the court to do more, and the common people will promote it, but the most urgent thing now is to breed in large quantities."
As soon as these words came out, Ming Ye calmed down, but he still asked the emperor for a few seeds, saying that he wanted to see for himself. The emperor gave him a sideways look. There is no country where the prince ignores state affairs and spends his mind on such trivial matters instead.
Just about to reprimand a few words, Ming Yu has sharp eyes and preempted the words, "Brother Prince just needs to send two servants over, and I will let someone teach them how to plant, and just leave such trivial matters to them."
Ming Ye immediately understood, and seeing the emperor's unhappy face, he followed Ming Yu's words and said: "That's the reason, I'm just a little excited, so I misunderstood."
"It's a good thing that the prince's brother cares about the people's livelihood. The country is based on the people. It is a blessing for the people of Dayan to have the father and the prince's brother to work hard."
These words entered the emperor's heart, and finally made the emperor feel a lot more comfortable.
97. Chapter 97
Ming Yu heaved a sigh of relief, and chatted some more off-topic, seeing that the emperor was a bit tired, so he followed the prince and left.
Ming Yu grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he has not yet had time to leave the palace to build a mansion, so the emperor arranged for him to live in the prince's residence, which is the residence of the underage prince. Because Ming Yu was stupid when he was young, he was worried about living in the prince's house, so the emperor handed him over to Concubine Hui to take care of him, and lived in the side hall of Concubine Hui's palace.
However, Concubine Hui was usually indifferent to Ming Yu, and her servants naturally didn't care. Then Ming Yu fell into the water and the emperor was furious. It was this fall into the water that brought the real Ming Yu here to start a new life.
Afterwards, Ming Yu moved to the prince's residence, and was granted the title of king as soon as he became an adult. Naturally, there is no need to build a mansion again.
Other princes who are willing to be entrusted are also entrusted. This kind of prince is generally ignored and has no future. Those who don't have big ambitions, just want to be an idle prince, are better off in Beijing than outside, Ming Yu is such an example.
There are also mothers and concubines who are strong and capable and ambitious. Sharing the emperor's worries in the court is also a way out, so that the emperor and courtiers can see their abilities. If the ability is outstanding, the emperor may not be unable to compete for a hundred years in the future. In any case, Liu Jing can at least be the first to get the latest news. This is a chance.
These people usually get permission to go out of the palace and build a mansion after they reach adulthood.
Ming Yu doesn't have a palace in Beijing, so he can only settle in the prince's place.
The crown prince followed Ming Yu all the way to the prince's house, anyway, the emperor held a family banquet at night, and he still had many things to discuss with Ming Yu, so there was no need to leave the palace.
"Fourteenth brother, you brought a lot of things from the Western Regions back to Beijing this time, but do you still need to act like last time?" After sitting down, some palace servants brought refreshments, Ming Ye took a sip of tea, and finally asked.
This was his main purpose for coming to Ming Yu. Last time Ming Yu asked him to partner with him to sell goods related to the Western Regions, and he made a lot of money. Even if he gave half of the profit to the emperor, it was still jaw-dropping.
This time Ming Yu brought a lot of goods to Beijing again, as long as the planning is good, the benefits will be even more than the first time. At the first time, no one understood the value of these things, and they only made a lot of money relying on Ming Yu's proposal. Therefore, he had to come here to ask specifically, to see how to proceed this time, so that he could prepare early.
Ming Yu also sat down, he had already guessed the purpose of the prince's coming to him, and had already made plans.
"This matter really needs to be carefully considered. I hope this time can create greater value." Ming Yu thought for a while and said.
"Greater value?" Ming Ye didn't understand what he meant. Which of these things from the Western Regions is not priceless in the capital? Not to mention fur carpets, gemstones, pepper, and just a glass mirror, it is hard to find, how does Mingyu want to create greater value
"That's right, it's not just the capital city, but also places farther afield. There are a lot of wealthy households and gentry in the Jiangnan area, so long-term development can be considered." Ming Yu tapped his finger on the table and said.
Ming Ye frowned, "But now in the capital, these goods are also for
