Traveling through time and space

"Yes, Princess, I will definitely take care of this matter." Kang Xi brought the people Gu Yuanyuan wanted, and Gu Yuanyuan was quite satisfied. Of course, she couldn't just leave the safety of the children to these few people. "After accompanying her father to court twice, Gu Yuanyuan felt that she was really not fit to be an emperor. Looking at those civil and military ministers, each of them was like a cross-eyed chicken, and then looking at her father, who was still patiently listening to their explanations. Three days later, Gu Yuanyuan had a good talk with her father. In order to prevent her father from getting angry, Gu Yuanyuan knelt down first. Of course, Fu Siyuan was also present. Gu Yuanyuan felt embarrassed, because after all, he would be her husband in the future.

"You've lost your patience in just these two days. A leader should be broad-minded, open to advice, diligent in government, caring for the people, and practicing frugality."

"Father, Yuanyuan is really not cut out for this. Yuanyuan doesn't have the patience to listen to them nagging. Yuanyuan prefers things to be done promptly and decisively. What can be solved by sitting in the court like this, talking and talking? Yuanyuan doesn't want to wait for things to be solved. Yuanyuan wants to be the one who solves them."

"Yuanyuan, father." There was obvious disappointment in the father's voice.

"Father, Yuanyuan is willing to give everything for Qingyang in this life, so he will naturally protect Qingyang throughout his life. Father is in his prime and can still reign for another twenty or thirty years. After twenty or thirty years, Jixun can directly take over your position."

"You..." Father was a little angry.

"Father, please don't be angry. Yuanyuan can fight for you. Yuanyuan wants to go out more and appreciate the beautiful scenery."

"You don't want to be in that position, but you are willing to protect your son until he takes it."

"Yes, Father, Yuanyuan is willing to protect the peace of Qingyang, so that no matter whether it is Father or the Crown Prince sitting on the throne, they can sit safely and without worries."

"Do you think Father still has time to wait until the Crown Prince grows up?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can ask Master Fu if I'm much younger than your peers. Yuanyuan is willing to protect you and keep you on the throne."

"Eunuch Shen, Siyuan, both of you should go out and guard the door," the emperor said, changing the subject. Fu Siyuan looked at Gu Yuanyuan, who nodded, indicating that he could rest assured. "Yuanyuan, can you really help father live a few more years?"

"Yes, Yuanyuan has been giving Father the spiritual water to drink these years, which can prolong his life. He also buys various medicines from the space to help him eat, which can regulate his body and prolong his life. He can still reign for another 20 to 30 years. Yuanyuan remembers reading in a book that there was an emperor who ascended the throne at the age of eight and abdicated at the age of 88, so he reigned for a full 80 years."

"It's been eighty years. Father is not an old witch." Hearing that he could live a few more years, the emperor was relieved. "Okay, although you are the emperor, you also want to see peace and prosperity in the country and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"Yes, Father, that way the emperor will feel more comfortable."

"Now only Kong Shu still has hostility towards us Qingyang. Although Qingyang won a great victory last time, Qingyang has not been able to make a decision in the past two years."

"Father, it's not that you haven't made up your mind, it's that you've retreated into the land of gentleness. Lu Xiaowan is very good at coaxing you, father. Yuanyuan is worried that father will betray our important secrets of Qingyang to this Concubine Wan for this woman."

"You little rascal, is father that kind of person? We have spent several generations guarding and fighting for Qingyang. Your grandfather, three generations of Zimo's family, sacrificed their lives for Qingyang. Father's father, father's grandfather, father remembers them all. As for this Concubine Wan."

"Father, Yuanyuan doesn't care about the women in your harem. As long as they don't cause trouble for Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan will naturally leave them alone."

"Father, Yuanyuan has received news that Concubine Wan is not at peace in our Qingyang harem."

"You mean, this Wan Fei."

"Father, have someone search Wanhe Palace thoroughly. There are several blueprints that came from the Ministry of Works in Wanhe Palace. She probably hasn't had time to send them out yet. The person who colluded with Wanhe Palace is called Liu Quan. Father, have the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War cleaned them out thoroughly." Seeing her father's surprised look, "Father, fish have their own ways, and shrimps have their own ways. Yuanyuan knows all of this anyway." Seeing that her father looked much more relaxed, Gu Yuanyuan felt bolder. "Father, do you agree to personally train a qualified successor? Yuanyuan is willing to always support you and the Crown Prince," Gu Yuanyuan knelt down again to pay her respects.

"Okay, you will be the Crown Princess for twenty years. Your father will not restrict your freedom, but you cannot interfere with your father's control over the Crown Prince."

"Father, you can't be partial. Yuanyuan and Guoguo are your grandchildren. You must teach them well."

"Of course. What arrangements do you have for the two of them?"

"Yuan Yuan is being a bit selfish. It would be best if one of them is good at literature and the other is good at martial arts. They can accept everything Yuan Yuan has. The literary one can treat patients and do accounting, while the martial one can fight in battle. Although Qing Yang is relatively stable now, there will always be a blueprint for expansion in the future. Whether it's Feng Yan, Ling Yu, Chen Ji, or Kong Shu, in a few decades, they will eventually be unified."

"Father has been thinking of a reason, a reason to start a war with Kong Shu again. Father will make Wanhe Palace a suitable reason."

"Okay, Father, let's practice with Kong Shu normally. Our Qingyang Iron Piece will see if it is useful. Yuan Yuan has recruited some people from the prince. They are supposed to protect the children in public, but secretly."

"Have Ah Yan arrange the secret guards. The children cannot rely on just those few people. All three children must be protected. You can use any member of the Imperial Guard."

"Don't make any big moves. Some things can be done in secret. Don't worry, father. Yuanyuan will definitely take good care of the children's safety. Father, do you agree with Yuanyuan's idea?"

"Of course, with you outside, Father will be relieved."

"Has the Emperor chosen the husband for the children?"

"How's your Senior Brother Mo? And Li Bei, Father wants him to be the dean of the Imperial College."

"As long as your Majesty thinks it's good, it's fine. However, the children can't just focus on studying, they also need to exercise. They should be allowed to dabble in more industries. It's always good to have many skills. In the future, the two younger ones can also assist their eldest brother more. When Yuanyuan is old, the brothers can support each other." Gu Yuanyuan thought, "This Li Beishan is very knowledgeable, but he is not very flexible. He is a very conventional scholar. Yuanyuan thinks that Senior Brother Pei is good and knows how to adapt. Your Majesty, why don't you set up a team for the children and let them learn more. It will be good for them in the future." Gu Yuanyuan expressed his thoughts, and his father nodded in agreement. Seeing that his father was in a good mood, Gu Yuanyuan asked what he wanted to ask, "Father, why did you give Fu Siyuan to Yuanyuan as the emperor's husband?"

"You are still young, you can't live alone all your life, you still need a man by your side. This Fu Siyuan, the emperor believes in him, he will treat you well. His grandfather once stayed in the Imperial College for ten years. Later, the emperor met his biological mother, but the emperor's father and Fu Siyuan's grandfather all thought that his mother was simple-minded. , and her body was thin, not suitable for entering the palace as a concubine. At that time, the emperor was not the emperor yet, and he was really powerless. Later, in a fit of anger, she married a minor official, but it was said that her married life was not very happy. When she gave birth to Fu Siyuan, she died of dystocia. Later, his grandfather became depressed and resigned and returned to his hometown. But before he left, he came to beg the emperor, saying that he knew that the child was not living well in his father's family. He wanted to take the child back, keep him by his side, and raise him well by himself, which would be worthy of his daughter's spirit in heaven. The emperor thought of a way to fake his death and bring Fu Siyuan out. Later, his grandfather took him out of the capital. It was not until he was at least ten years old that they left that place. He has come to where he is now step by step. The emperor believes in him and that he can be a good emperor husband. Over the years, the emperor has also seen you two. You don't hate him, and you should get along well in the future."

"Father, have you ever thought about the Fu family? The Fu family needs children to carry on the bloodline."

"Then you should give birth to a child for the Fu family."

"Father, you can't just give birth to a child." Gu Yuanyuan found it a little ridiculous that he said it so easily. "Oh, there's something else I want to do. I want to travel all over Qingyang to see what resources are available so that I can better coordinate and plan for you, Father."

“What is comprehensive planning?”

"It's just an arrangement. For example, Yuanyuan's fiefdom has dry weather and is mountainous, but it's suitable for growing soybeans."

"Yes, Father also wants to go out and see the beautiful mountains and rivers of Qingyang, but it's too difficult to go out."

"Your Majesty, you can go out for a walk. With these court officials, you can do your own thing."

"Okay, next time your father goes out to take a look, you can be the regent." The father was very happy to hear this.

"Father, there's one more thing I want to inform you of. Sixth brother has been too noisy. Now that Yuanyuan has become the Crown Princess, I'm afraid he won't let her go," Gu Yuanyuan looked at her father. "He probably had a hand in what happened to third and ninth brothers."

The emperor sighed, "Why not just let them all go? Spread them out to different places in Qingyang. That way they'll have enough food and clothing, and they'll be able to manage things a little bit, saving the court some trouble."

Gu Yuanyuan recalled the plot of the withdrawal of foreign troops in a TV drama she had watched before and nodded. "That's good. Once the princes and grandchildren leave the capital, there will be some status deterrence. But they cannot be allowed to participate in military power, and..." Gu Yuanyuan didn't dare to ask the next question.

"What else?"

"Father, are they all being banned? Or are they just my brothers and sisters?"

"The princesses don't have it. You are the legitimate princess. Your eldest princess mother doesn't have it either."

Gu Yuanyuan stood up and knelt down, "Yuanyuan thanks father for his always partiality to Yuanyuan." Gu Yuanyuan bowed seriously and sincerely.

"You haven't disappointed Father. Your achievements over the years are obvious to all. Father understands that only you can make our Qingyang stronger and better."

"Yes, Yuanyuan's goal is to take Qingyang to the next level."

"You must attend court every few days, or when something happens, you must be present." The emperor said this with certainty.

"Yuanyuan is the crown princess, so of course she will." Gu Yuanyuan felt relieved. In the following days, Gu Yuanyuan was free. She sent the children to the palace and went to the farm. She knew that many counties in Qingyang had sent people to learn planting this year. To be honest, Gu Yuanyuan was worried again. This was a big deal, a big deal related to people's livelihood. Gu Yuanyuan wanted to keep an eye on it personally to feel at ease. She talked to her father about it, and her father agreed. The only thing was that she could not go out until after the wedding. Gu Yuanyuan finally lived the life she wanted. A few days later, on the way to the Kongshu border, Gu Yuanyuan sat in the arms of the emperor, eating the fruits that the three concubines on her left and right brought to her mouth. She was so happy. She hoped that she would be happy like this in the future.
