Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 138, The right to interpret the laws of Qing Kingdom is in my hands! Liu Hong, the son of the Red Emperor

"Then let me speak frankly! I have people in the palace, you just need to accept it."

The second prince sat up straight and spoke seriously.

Li Hongcheng hesitated to speak. Didn't they agree to rescue Yuan Meng first? How did it involve the East Factory that was to be established recently?

Liu Hong had a shy face and laughed.

"Your Highness, I have a man named Gou Zi under my command. He was recently dismissed from his post and doesn't want to get involved in officialdom, so he plans to try his hand in the military."

This is Liu Hongkai’s condition.

Li Chengze frowned tightly, military power was his trump card.

Especially the military power in Kyoto, which is of utmost importance. If one point is given, his advantage over the prince will be reduced by one point.

After much deliberation in his mind, Li Chengze finally decided that it would be more cost-effective to take control of the East Factory.

If his aunt supports him, with a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, Li Chengze is confident that he can build a second Supervisory Yuan.

"I can't do anything about the Kyoto Garrison Division and the Imperial Guards, so let's just go with the City Defense Force."

"In that case, I will serve as the deputy commander of the city defense army on behalf of Gou Zi. Thank you, sir."

Liu Hong chuckled and made a request.

Of course, it is not the seventh-rank commander-in-chief position. After Liu Hong gradually becomes familiar with the affairs of the garrison division, he can arrange it himself.

"Deputy Commander, Commander! I hope Lord Liu will be loyal to the country, and I can handle these trivial matters."

Liu Hong was shocked, unexpected by the second prince's generosity.

He is the commander of 8,000 men. Even if his combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Imperial Guards or the Garrison Division, he is only a second-line force responsible for maintaining daily law and order.

But it was at least a trump card in Kyoto, so the Second Prince gave it to him.

Liu Hong originally thought that Ergouzi would first be the deputy commander, and then he would slowly promote Ergouzi to the higher position when there was an opportunity.

I didn’t expect the second prince to be so generous. It seems that he is determined to take charge of the East Factory!
Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Li Chengze stepped lightly on the ground with his bare feet, ready to leave.

Li Hongcheng looked at Liu Hong and the second prince, laughing, and then talked about the affairs of the East Factory.

It seemed that he had forgotten Yuan Meng, and he immediately felt anxious.

"Your Highness, Minister Liu, have you forgotten Yuan Meng?"

"As a prostitute, isn't it normal for Yuan Meng to open a brothel? What crime has she committed?"

Unexpectedly, the second prince laughed softly and glanced at Liu Hong.

Liu Hong thought for a while and nodded.

The Second Prince was so willing to hand over the position of commander to him, so Liu Hong certainly had to give something in return.

"Ah? Forcing decent women to buy and sell, instigating guards to kill, these are capital crimes!"

After all, Li Hongcheng had very good family education. Even though he supported the Second Prince, he was not used to the darkness in it and could not help but open his mouth.

"Your Highness! I am the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. I have the interpretation of the laws of Qing Kingdom. I will make the judgment as Your Highness wishes."

Liu Hong was quite helpless and couldn't help but hint at it.

The officials in charge of Kyoto Prefecture, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple are all disciples of the Second Prince. As long as Liu Hong keeps silent.

Letting Yuan Meng go is just a matter of a word!
Li Hongcheng stood there in a daze, his eyes flickering.

"Your Highnesses, now that the matter here is over, I will take my leave first."

Liu Hong bowed and prepared to leave.

After all, he was a disciple of the Crown Prince, and staying in Prince Jing's residence for a long time would easily arouse suspicion.

Li Chengze nodded and his eyes fell on Fan Xian's poetry collection again.

The three men's plan involved the secret agency Dongchang, and the attendants around them had already been driven away.

This was Liu Hong's first time to come to the backyard, and he got lost for a moment.

"They say that Prince Jing's Mansion is frugal, but that's not necessarily true! It's comparable to the mansions of twenty of my vice ministers."

Liu Hong searched for a long time and finally came to a garden. He couldn't help but sigh.

The old farmer with a rough face looked particularly surprised when he saw Liu Hong.

This is the interior of Prince Jing's mansion. This brat Li Hongcheng brought people here but doesn't even know how to take them away.

The old farmer was about to reveal his identity when Liu Hong came closer to the garden, looked carefully at a few rice ears with full grains, and spoke in surprise.

"Old man, is this the rice you grew?"

The old farmer saw Liu Hong carefully observing the rice, his expression eased a lot, and he shook his head. "How can I cultivate it with my ability? These are just the best rice ears transplanted from various places."

"Want to increase rice yield? I'm afraid that won't work, old man. You should know about pollen and bees, right? They can be used artificially on rice ears."

Liu Hong was very excited, but this was all he knew about hybrid rice.

Whether or not I can inspire the old farmer depends on whether I have the luck.

Suddenly Liu Hong's heart was shocked. Damn! This is the backyard of Prince Jing's mansion.

Which old farmer can grow rice and flowers here?

It should be the legendary Prince Jing who is elusive! Why is he not wearing royal clothes but dressing like an old farmer?

Liu Hong was careless for a moment and really treated Prince Jing as an old farmer.

After hearing what Liu Hong said, Prince Jing stood there in a daze.

He had said this to a woman several decades ago! I didn't expect it to come from a young boy now.

"Do you think it is feasible to increase the number of acres of rice?"

Prince Jing's mood was in turmoil.

He persisted for so long, countless people laughed at him and called him stupid, even Emperor Qing tried to dissuade him.

Prince Jing turned a deaf ear to her. He only remembered that he had promised Ye Qingmei that he would make sure all the people in the world had enough food to eat.

"It's feasible! But it depends on luck. If we just work behind closed doors, we may never be able to increase the yield of the fields in this lifetime. It's better to go to different places and see how the rice is different."

Liu Hong spoke in a firm tone.

The old man was able to cultivate hybrid rice after decades of hard work, plus he was blessed by fate.

But in the world of Joy of Life, can Prince Jing do it? Liu Hong has no hope for this.

Prince Jing pondered for a long time and smiled bitterly.

Emperor Qing would not think that he had left the capital, given his understanding of Emperor Qing's suspicion.

If he stayed safe in Kyoto, he might still have a chance of survival, but if he left Kyoto, he would surely die.

The emperor would not allow himself to control someone who could threaten his position.

"By the way, old sir, where is the exit of Prince Jing's Mansion?"

Liu Hong took advantage of Prince Jing's distraction and spoke quickly.

Prince Jing pointed casually, looked at the rice plants, and fell into deep thought.

Like bees to flowers, is that what Ye Qingmei said about artificial insemination? This is more practical.

Li Hongcheng ran over in a hurry and panting.

"Father, have you seen Minister Liu passing by here?"

"Minister Liu, is that Liu Hong, who has been at the center of controversy recently and has a bad reputation?"

Prince Jing exclaimed in surprise. He didn't expect that the young man who knew farming skills just now was actually a third-rank official.

He was also a popular upstart, a first-class earl with military power and actual fiefdom.

"Father, have you met him? What do you think of Minister Liu?"

Li Hongcheng was stunned at first, and then asked unwillingly.

He still couldn't accept why Emperor Qing arranged for Fan Ruoruo to marry Liu Hong.

Prince Jing carefully recalled some details of his brief time with Liu Hong, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Liu Hong is the son of the Red Emperor!"

Li Hongcheng was shocked. He didn't expect his father to think so highly of Liu Hong.

There are two types of Chidi in Joy of Life. One is one of the five gods of the original five elders.

The other is the one handed down from the temple, Chidi, also known as Shennong, is a legendary figure known as Yan Emperor.

The reason why Prince Jing gave Liu Hong such a high evaluation was mainly due to the second reason.

Because he was very surprised. He didn't expect that among the current senior officials, there is someone who knows about farming.

"Father, Liu Hong cannot bear this compliment. Please don't say it again in the future."

Li Hongcheng's expression became serious and he bowed deeply.
