Traveling through the millennium: creating a prosperous dynasty with you

"I don't have it."

Jailer A: "Prince Hao may not know, the one you did that to was not a goddess, but an aunt in the palace of Concubine Rong."

"Impossible, I'm familiar with everyone around my mother." After An Hao finished speaking, he immediately covered his mouth and refused to speak again.

The two jailers took out the recorder and replayed the recording. An Hao was dumbfounded. Whether he said it or not, the meaning was very clear. He wanted to ask his mother whether the medicine for his father had been given? He wanted to ask his grandfather whether the Ghost Killing Sect had attacked An Chen? What he wanted more, how could he get out?

After the two jailers left, no one came. Although the cell was clean and he was not tortured, he was alone here. It was dark and he didn't know how long he had been here. Was it day or night outside? His stomach was rumbling and he realized he was very hungry. He called for food, but no one answered.

Because of the unexpected incident, An Chen and Xu Zhen did not go to the deep mountains of Dongyi. In the morning, people from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works followed the emperor's guard team out of the city. Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue personally led the team. The Minister of Works was fascinated by the various agricultural tools, water conservancy, irrigation and other tools given by the emperor yesterday, and personally led people to study. He sent Li Hongli to lead the people from the Ministry of Works to go together. Before leaving, he gave them several copies of the tools used by the people for farming and irrigation. When the Minister of Works came out to see him off, he looked tired, and it was obvious that he had not slept all night. He said to Li Shangshu: "The Ministry of Works should let your son lead the team, so that we don't have a disagreement and it's difficult to make a decision." Li Shangshu looked at his son and the people from the Ministry of Works, all of whom were listless.

He advised the Minister of Industry: "The blueprints won't disappear, so you should take good care of yourself."

"Have you forgotten the time you saw the new grain?"

Minister Li glanced at him and turned away. "You are all the same old fellow. You can listen to me or not. If it is not my personal experience, I will not advise you."

The Minister of Industry laughed, patted Li Hongli on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, just follow your father's instructions."

A group of people marched out of the city.

The recording pen was sent to the emperor's study. Even though he already knew that the disappearance of the second brother and his food was related to the third brother, the emperor was still furious when he heard An Hao tell the truth. What was even more infuriating was that he actually dared to work with the prince of Xishu to harm his brother. The emperor really wanted to pry open his head to see how many layers of paste were inside?

Xu Zhen added several more surveillance cameras in the palace. When the emperor went to Rong Fei's palace last night, the secret guards secretly installed one in the hall and one in the courtyard. It seems that Rong Fei was really angry and fainted. There was no movement all night until the imperial physician came to take her pulse this morning, and she woke up slowly. She sat there for a whole morning without eating or drinking. She sent several groups of people to inquire about the news, but got no news. The third prince seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and her people could not leave the palace. She did not send anyone out in the afternoon, and her entire palace was silent.

How could a mother really calm down and wait for the result when her son was missing? That night, she sent several waves of secret guards out of the palace, one to find the head of the Qian family, one to the clan house, one to the Ministry of Justice, one to the Chen residence, and one to Concubine Hui's palace. She thought she could gather information as quickly as possible by casting a wide net, but she didn't know that there were little bees following her all the way, exposing her private network of relationships.

The emperor was very curious about why Concubine Rong sent someone to Concubine Hui's palace at this time. In his impression, the two had no intersection. The little bee can transmit sound in real time, but there is no network here, so he can only wait for the little bee to listen to the sound now. In the dark, when you can't see your hand in front of you, the little bee can also transmit the image of the person. Although it looks a bit scary, the effect of this surveillance is really amazing.

Because of the special instructions, the several groups of people sent by Concubine Rong successfully conveyed the messages they were going to send. The emperor wanted to know what was written on the letters brought back by the secret guards? He waited in the dark room. Defu entered the dark room to report to the emperor that Prince Chen had arrived.

"It's so late, he must have something urgent to come here, let him in quickly." The emperor said as he walked out of the dark room and turned to enter the imperial study, just in time An Chen came in.

The emperor raised his hand to let him off the hook, and seeing his anxious look, he asked, "Chen'er, are you here at this time for something urgent?"

"Father, have we found a large number of soldiers in the woods outside the city?"

The emperor, who had just sat down, jumped up nervously. "Troops? Why did a large number of troops suddenly appear? How many people are there?"

"More than 20,000 people. Father, when the third brother came to the capital, my people saw him bringing back a lot of people. After he came to the capital, those people disappeared. I thought they were sent by the Ministry of War to escort the grain and grass, so I didn't investigate further and just sent people to keep an eye on them in the woods. Tonight, that group of people suddenly appeared outside the woods, and it seemed that they were preparing to leave somewhere."

After listening to this, the emperor slowly sat down and thought: It is impossible to escort 20,000 people to transport food and grass. Obviously, these 20,000 people did not come at once. So many people were active in the suburbs of the capital, and no one noticed. Who has the ability to feed 20,000 people? It reminded him of someone.

The emperor asked, "Are those people very close to the Qian family farm?"

An Chen nodded and replied, "It's at the foot of the mountain not far from Qian's farm. The last time Zhenzhen went to Qian's farm and found food, she didn't find so many people. I sent people to check the yard, and there were only a few soldiers living in the backyard."

The emperor was also confused, "Where would so many people hide?"

"Father, the Qian family was able to empty the entire courtyard to store grain, so there might be other secret passages. I have already sent people to investigate at the foot of the mountain. I came here to ask you what you are going to do with these 20,000 people."

"The Qian family has run out of food. These 20,000 people can't stay here any longer, so prepare to leave. The most likely scenario is that they will return to where they came from. We can't mobilize so many soldiers to suppress them in a short time, so send a few alert soldiers to follow them."

"Yes, I have one more thing to tell you. Since the strange stone was taken away, the road to Japanese Castle seems to have been cast under a spell. From a distance, it looks like a road, but when you walk over, you can't find anything. The people who came out of Japanese Castle, as well as those who were exiled and their descendants, were all given to Beifu City for resettlement. Now that the epidemic is over, how do you plan to resettle those people, father?"

"I failed in my duty. I actually forgot about them. The north is cold and sparsely populated. After two or three years, perhaps they have settled down there. I will send people to ask those people's wishes before making a decision. As for those who were exiled, those who committed serious crimes will be directly imprisoned in Beifu City. As for their descendants, if they have a legitimate business and good conduct, they can be restored to freedom as long as there are local people willing to guarantee them. Those who are outstanding can also become officials."

"Your Majesty is wise. After a few years of epidemics, the population of Anguo has decreased rapidly. Especially in the northern border, it is bitterly cold and difficult to farm, so the population is even smaller. Zhenzhen said that the grain seeds she gave to the Ministry of Revenue are suitable for the north. Keeping those people here can just make up for the dilemma of no one farming."

The emperor joked, "Thanks to Miss Xu, she is truly a god. You must protect your princess well! Once you lose her, it will be hard to find another one in the world."
