Honglou: I am the legitimate son of An Guogong!

At this time。

Emperor Jianlong said: "It's been a hard work for Aiqing to come all the way here."。”

“I have already tasted your wine. It is very good, and I and the queen and concubine are very happy!”

Jia Hong said hurriedly: "Thank you for the emperor's appreciation. When I get back, I will order the palace to deliver it to the emperor on time!”

“Hahaha——”Emperor Jianlong stroked his beard and smiled, "Okay, okay。”

“I love you sincerely, and the name of the royal tribute is yours. Wine tax... you can discuss it with Zhou Shangshu later and ask him to present the memorial.。”

“Holy sage! Jia Hong said with a smile: "I really don't understand economics. I need Zhou Shangshu to complete it."。”

“Eh! Emperor Jianlong hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Just as you talked nonsense in the memorial, you will also talk nonsense when we meet."。”

“You may not be a humble person. If you have ideas, just say them. Don’t worry about my dissatisfaction!”

Not long after, the palace maid came to bring tea and water. Emperor Jianlong picked up the tea cup, but his hand was shaking.。

“Your Majesty, be careful! "The palace maid hurriedly took the cup.。

Jia Hong couldn't help but feel a bit of toothache when he saw such impressive acting skills. He thought to himself that the name "Zhen Yan" was really right!

He hurriedly asked with concern: "Your Majesty, how is your dragon body now? I often heard you say that your hands were shaking last year. I wonder if taking the Qi Nourishing Pill will be of any use?"”

“well! Emperor Jianlong shook his head and said: "Old, old, old!" That medicine is naturally excellent, and I often feel much better after taking it!”

“Just after eating, I also sent Taoist priests to Anfu Academy to learn 'Confucianism and Taoism to Become a Saint' and 'Qi Gathering Array'’。”

“My achievements are not as good as my love for you, so I have no other choice now! However, the hospital prescribed a few medicines, but they were all tasteless!”

Jia Hong raised his eyebrows, and his thoughts turned out to be true.。

He took out the porcelain bottle from his sleeve robe, handed it to Zhen Yan respectfully, and said, "I am guilty!”

“I only had one or two exercises left in my body in the original school, but I didn't consider the Holy One. I deserve death for my crime.。”

Emperor Jianlong's eyes shone brightly and he said happily: "Why do you say this, my beloved? No, no!”

“Hoo——”Emperor Jianlong said kindly: "If you didn't mean it, why did you offer such a treasure in the first place?”

“If you die, won't I lose a great general who can control the country, and there will be no Qi-nourishing pills to take in the future?”

Jia Hong sat back on the chair and his words were naturally polite.。

If Emperor Jianlong hadn't treated him well, he wouldn't have been too lazy to take out Qi Yang Pills in the first place.。

But looking at it now, the results are indeed good. Not only was he transferred back to the capital this time, he also took on an important position in the Beijing Guard Camp.。

Jia Hong cupped his hands again and said: "I will refine it in the school in the future and give it to the emperor every year."。”

“Only when the holy dragon is in good health can the Wu Dynasty be peaceful and prosperous, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment! The Wu Dynasty was indispensable for a wise king like the Holy One!”

Emperor Jianlong smiled happily, waved his hands and said: "That's all, don't say such nonsense to me anymore. For several generations of your family, you are not afraid of being stinky even if you flatter yourself a lot."。”

“Since I'm too lazy to read the memorial, don't say it to me in person. I've heard too much - I'm deaf!”

He couldn't help but sigh: "At your age, you are about the same age as my grandson. You have been sitting on the throne for a long time, and you don't know who is telling the truth and who is lying!"”

“On the contrary, you made several memorials, although you talked nonsense and were unreasonable, you still made me happy. When I think about it more carefully, I often feel that it is extremely far-sighted and reasonable. Whatever it is, you and I can do whatever it is now, don’t be restrained!”

Maybe I got Qi Yang Pills, the old man said with joy.。

Jia Hong couldn't help but find it funny, thinking that he and the old man were not all that different.。

At the very least, he is indeed kinder and kinder to him.。

Jia Hong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, then I'm going to talk about Nanyang! You said I was talking nonsense last time, but that's not true!”

“I have always been fond of all kinds of weird things, and I also learned Western literature. I learned many of the sayings from the Western books at home.。”

“oh? Emperor Jianlong raised his eyes and said in surprise: "Ai Qing is so knowledgeable!" I just thought you were talking nonsense in Western Xinjiang。”

Jia Hong cupped his hands and said: "I believe that Southeast Asia trade is the general trend nowadays. Although the Western dynasties are barbarians, they also have something worth learning from us. We might as well 'use foreign countries for China'’。”

Emperor Jianlong nodded repeatedly, "What a 'foreign product for domestic use'! Insightful! Specifically?”

Jia Hong said: "I think your Majesty, during the Western Expeditions for several years, you have also experienced the difficulties of advancing westward and destroying the desert west. The most important thing is that the west is vast and sparsely populated, the fertile fields are uncultivated, and the supply lines are long.。”

“But shipping by sea is an extremely cheap method of transportation. The establishment of commercial ports in the south for trade was conducive to the introduction of Western crafts. Schools should also be established to study Western skills。”

“And our government must also pay attention to the development of the navy. I believe that the emperor also knows the map of 'Wanguo Kanyu'! The world is big and there are more oceans! Only fighting on land is no less than walking with a limp, and it is not conducive to the ten thousand-year foundation of our Wu Dynasty!”

Jia Hong didn't care about the Wu Dynasty's ten thousand years of eggs, but matters of trade and education had always been about moistening things in silence. All he wanted was Emperor Jianlong's words.。

Emperor Jianlong rubbed the handrail, "But there is some truth in it. My dear, please continue.。”

Jia Hong said bluntly: "Opening up Nanyang is one thing. In addition, if you don't have money to kill Moxi, you might as well kill Annan and Siam, and make progress step by step."。”

“oh? Emperor Jianlong heard his murderous intent and asked curiously: "Why?" Both countries are tributary countries, so why go to war?”

Jia Hong said: "Your Majesty, do you know what poppies are? Since the prosperous Tang Dynasty, small countries in the southeast have occasionally paid tribute to them.。”

“This - I do know. It's just not beneficial to the body, so most people just give it away。”

Jia Hong cupped his hands and said: "This ten thousand-year-old poison! If the southeastern countries plant this thing and spread it widely in our dynasty, it will not only cause the Wu dynasty's silver to drain out, but also poison the people's skin!"”

“Your Majesty has the heart of a saint and can ban it in the country, but the Southeast King is just reckless and may not be able to make foresight.。”

“What’s more, foreigners have different minds! If your Majesty loves the world and is unwilling to harm others, I have no complaints.。”

“If Your Majesty is still passionate and ambitious, I am willing to be a villain for thousands of years, pouring the poisonous garbage of the two countries into the Western countries, extracting profits, and poisoning the foreign races. Who cares if the world is in chaos, I don’t care。”

Emperor Jianlong's eyes widened and he couldn't help laughing after being stunned for a while.。

“I wonder if the Jia family in Anguo Prefecture are descendants of the poisonous scholar Jia Xu?”

He took a long breath and said with a smile: "Ai Qing, you are so loyal to serving the country. What you said really made my heart warm. I already know it.。”

“Regardless of whether it’s Western, Southern, Western or Southeast, I will consider it carefully. That's fine if you meet me in the future! There is no need to stick to the scriptures and etiquette, just follow your imagination!”

The more Emperor Jianlong looked at Jia Hong, the more satisfied he became. How could he not be happy to have such a loyal minister and good general who also had the country at heart?

He simply asked in detail, and Jia Hong answered them one by one, and the two of them chatted for a while about things all over the world.。

After talking about state affairs, the palace maid came and poured several rounds of tea.。

Emperor Jianlong was so happy that he started a family affair with Jia Hong.。
