Chapter 172: I can!

Naturally, it was because Xiao Hanzheng deliberately exposed his flaws. After all, it was very easy for a divine doctor like him to pretend to be ill.

He stretched his hand, pulled Shi Qingluo over to his embrace, and let her sit on his lap: “When you helped me in, I suddenly stopped feeling dizzy.”

Shi Qingluo raised her head and looked at him with a smile: “It seems that I am your good medicine!”

Xiao Hanzheng said with a smile: “Yes.”

Shi Qingluo looked at the increasingly beautiful young husband, leaned over, and kissed his chin: “Then I will be your sweet medicine.”

“Yes, you are sweet.” Xiao Hanzheng lowered his head and rubbed her forehead.

Shi Qingluo smiled and stretched out her hand to pinch his waist: “You are jealous of women, you are amazing, Old Xiao!”

She didn’t realize that her little husband still had the potential to be a drama queen.

Xiao Hanzheng hugged her tightly and said in an unprecedented domineering manner: “You are only mine.”

The smile in Shi Qingluo’s eyes grew thicker, and she took the initiative to approach his arms: “Yes, yes, I’m only yours.”

Oops, the little husband suddenly came up with a domineering quote from a domineering president. It was so touching!

She didn’t expect that she didn’t experience it in modern times but would experience it in ancient times. It was very good.

She now habitually asks her husband for his opinion: “Old Xiao, what do you think of the cooperation proposed by Xi Rong?”

Xiao Hanzheng was just a little jealous, so naturally he didn’t care about it or prevent his daughter-in-law from interacting with Xi Rong.

After all, it was not easy for his little wife to make a good friend, even though this friend was very out of place…….

“You can work with Xi Rong. She has a great background, and she is not the type to burn bridges.”

He paused and said: “She wants to cooperate with you, probably because she wants to prepare military expenses.”

Shi Qingluo was stunned: “Preparing military expenses?”

“She would build a women’s army in the future.”

Xiao Hanzheng paused and said, “The prince who killed her parents is already dead, but it was the Ge people who rushed to the Xi family and slaughtered the entire family.”

“The prince used the power of the Ge people to seize the throne, but failed.”

“The person who colluded with that prince is still alive.”

“So she must hate the Ge people very much in her heart and want to go to the battlefield to kill her enemy and take revenge.”

Shi Qingluo didn’t expect that there would be such twists and turns. If it were her, she would want to avenge her parents.

“Then we will support her.”

She smiled and said: “It turns out that Xi Rong is not just a badass girl, but will also be a female general in the future.”

“Yes, you can work with her.”

Xiao Hanzheng had no connection with Xi Rong, but he had heard that the women’s army led by her was very brave on the battlefield, which was worthy of recognition.

After talking about Xi Rong, Shi Qingluo suddenly thought of a question: “Old Xiao, I went to check it out today. The corn will be mature in about 10 days.”

“How should we present this God-given seed?”

She can go around about ways with agriculture or business.

But she was not good at matters involving the court.

Xiao Hanzheng fell into deep thought about what he knew at this time in his previous life.

Then he suddenly remembered something.

“The prince in the fiefdom has been making a lot of moves recently. He has released news in many places, slandering the current emperor as someone who seeks power and is unorthodox.”

“Many people were led and encouraged to make trouble.”

“It’s just the right time for us to donate food now, and we can help the Emperor dispel this unfavorable rumor.”

Shi Qingluo asked: “You mean, we say this is a good seed given to the emperor by God, and use this to prove that he is orthodox?”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded: “Mmm.”

“I can imitate the handwriting of the Old Taoist Priest. Let’s write a letter about the corn, saying that the current Emperor is orthodox and recognized by God.”

“So God has given us good seeds so that the people of Daliang will no longer suffer from famine.”

Of course, even if corn cultivation becomes popular in Daliang, there will still be hungry people.

But if they want to make it look like a miracle, they need to exaggerate it.

But then, he said regretfully: “But with my handwriting right now, someone in the court can tell the time.”

Shi Qingluo grasped the key point: “Then what if the paper looks old?”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, “Yes, the older it looks, the better, which means that God has long recognized the current emperor.”

Shi Qingluo smiled and said: “I can make it old!”

Her grandfather liked to collect antiques, especially ancient paintings.

One time, she excitedly bought an “authentic” piece and gave it to her grandfather.

In the end, my grandfather identified it as a fake.

She thought it was unlikely at the time, after all, it looked very dated.

Then Grandpa took matters into his own hands and drew a picture himself, making it old and showing it to her.

Those who don’t know better think it was a painting from more than a hundred years ago. It was impossible to tell that it was painted recently.

At that time, she watched the whole process, so she knew this.

Xiao Hanzheng was startled. He didn’t expect that his little wife could do this: “Okay, I’ll write a letter on behalf of the old priest, while you make it look old.”

“In this case, if we offer good seeds and solve the trouble for the current Emperor, we will not arouse any fear.”

He emphasized: “Most of the credit for corn belongs to the Emperor. God gave these seeds to the emperor to bless his people.”

Shi Qingluo smiled and said: “I understand this. No emperor wants to see someone with a higher reputation among the people than him.”

“God-given good seeds are due to recognition of the emperor, and in the minds of the people of Daliang, his ruling as the monarch is just right.”

“Let’s just drink the soup he will give us.”

Xiao Hanzheng chuckled and said, “My lady is so smart.”

Even though his little wife has never been in contact with the court, she can see so clearly, that many courtiers cannot see through.

If many people get a high-yielding grain like corn, they will be in the limelight and donate seeds, eager to let everyone know that it was their credit.

The emperor will certainly be happy at first.

But when people mention corn seeds, they will always mention someone else’s name, as if it has nothing to do with the emperor.

Will the emperor be happy in the long run?

Even if the emperor was okay at first, if someone often mentions provocations in his ears, the emperor may become uncomfortable.

And now there were still many problems inside Daliang.

If they donate the corn seeds in their name in public, the prince of the fiefdom will likely use it as a weapon to criticize the Emperor.

Shi Qingluo asked curiously: “You just said that the prince of the fiefdom wants to usurp the throne?”

Otherwise, why spread rumors that the Emperor was not the legitimate heir to the throne?

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, “Yes, he is the late emperor’s most beloved son to his most beloved concubine.”

“He also has some talents, but when the late emperor was still alive, his talents were too obvious, so he was suppressed by other princes.”

“And this man is a bit stubborn and is not suitable to be an Emperor.”

“The late emperor has conquered this land with great difficulty. Naturally, he doesn’t want it to be taken away so quickly, so he chose a more suitable successor to the throne.”
