Her face flushed red, and she pushed Zhao Yuan away.
"Keep your voice down, don't wake your brother."
Zhao Feng and Zhao Hongwen both lived in the pavilion behind Ruizhu Palace.
The two of them went to bed early at night.
The siblings often get up at the crack of dawn.
Zhao Feng smiled and said, "My younger brother is awake too."
"Father, mother."
As they were talking, Zhao Hongwen stumbled in.
Her little face was red from the cold.
Behind them followed a palace maid who bent over to protect them.
Zhao Hongwen was a prince born to Hu Sanniang.
However, the name was chosen by Zhao Yuan.
When Hu Sanniang saw Zhao Hongwen's face, red from the cold, she realized...
I couldn't help but reach out my hand with a pang of heartache.
"Hongwen, come and warm up."
Zhao Hongwen, who was still breastfeeding, immediately ran over.
Zhao Yuan also reached out to Zhao Feng, who was on the ground.
"Come here, let Daddy hold you."
Zhao Feng saw her younger brother get into bed.
She also joined in the fun and ran to bed.
I crawled into bed.
Chapter 1587 Icy Trees
The two cold bodies crawled into the blankets.
Even Hu Sanniang couldn't help but shudder.
Zhao Yuan held Zhao Feng in his arms and laughed.
"Is the ground frozen?"
Zhao Feng shook her head like a rattle drum.
"No, it's because the trees are covered in ice."
The weather this year is colder than usual.
Zhao Yuan asked the palace maids who had not yet left, with a puzzled look.
"Not snow?"
The palace maid replied respectfully, "No,"
"They are strings of icicles,"
“It rained last night,”
"Then it froze."
Hu Sanniang embraced Zhao Hongwen and said,
"Yu Mubing, it seems this winter is going to be even colder."
Zhao Yuan nodded.
"Cotton has been widely promoted in the last two years,"
"I hope no one freezes to death this year."
In the first year of the Tianqi reign (1621), when Zhao Yuan led troops to resist the Western Xia...
Cotton was discovered in the Northwest.
Then cotton planting was promoted in the Central Plains.
In addition, the imperial court promoted various technologies.
Cotton-padded clothes and cotton cloth have become popular in Daliang.
The cotton cloth is thick and sturdy.
It is cheaper than silk.
It is very popular among ordinary people.
Winter arrives early in the Central Plains.
The Jin Kingdom was even colder.
Even the golden men, accustomed to the icy and snowy landscape,
Everyone feels that this winter is exceptionally cold.
They used to huddle on the earthen bed.
Wrapped in a few tattered pieces of fur, I managed to get through it.
But now they're wrapped in mink and bear fur.
These golden figures, however, still felt extremely cold.
The finest wine, too precious to drink in the summer.
Now they're gushing it down their throats in big gulps.
The scorching heat made them forget the bitter cold outside.
Two savages were huddled in a corner to avoid the wind.
Seeing the prime minister leading several people approaching from afar...
I hurriedly ran to the door and stood there.
Wanyan Zonggan led his men forward and shouted,
"Open the door, I need to take stock of the national treasury."
"Yes."
The two savages dared not be negligent.
He hurriedly opened the door.
Wanyan Zonggan led his men inside.
After a while,
He came out with a livid face and shouted,
"Who has put money into the national treasury these past two days?"
The two savages thought for a moment,
"Only the Emperor has ever been here."
Wanyan Zonggan's expression changed.
Nothing was said,
They then drove off with their men.
The next morning,
The savages have just arrived.
Wanyan Zonggan then jumped out.
Pointing at Wanyan Wuqimai,
"I went to check the national treasury yesterday,"
"It was discovered that one hundred taels of silver were missing from the national treasury."
"I already asked the guard,"
"The guards said that only the Emperor had ever been to the national treasury."
"Tell me, did you steal money from the national treasury?"
The savages inside the house heard that Wanyan Wuqi had stolen money from the national treasury.
They all started shouting.
Wanyan Wuqimai didn't expect to be discovered so quickly.
After hesitating for a moment, he still mustered the courage to say it.
"I took it."
Wanyan Zonggan was the eldest son of Wanyan Aguda.
If we follow the Han Chinese system
Wanyan Aguda was killed.
He should inherit the throne.
However, according to the Jurchen system
However, the throne was inherited by Aguda's younger brother.
His uncle stole his throne.
Wanyan Zonggan was naturally somewhat displeased.
After seeing Yan Wuqimai admit it, he immediately said,
"The founding emperor made an agreement with everyone before,"
"The money in the national treasury can only be used when there is war."
"I wonder where the fighting is going again."
"His Majesty spent one hundred taels of silver?"
Wanyan Wugumai was also a fierce savage.
You can fight a bear with your bare hands.
It seems we've been discovered.
He decided not to hide it any longer and said in a rough voice,
"There's no war anywhere,"
"It's terribly cold,"
"I took one hundred taels of silver to buy wine."
The savages heard that the emperor had taken money from the national treasury.
The process of buying alcohol immediately descended into chaos.
In the Jin Kingdom, no one disliked drinking "Hero's Wine."
They mostly used their war rewards to buy "Hero's Wine".
Many people have even started selling slaves and women to buy alcohol.
Wanyan Zonghan was drinking alcohol.
Our family is almost out of food.
Upon hearing that Wanyan Wuqi was using public funds to eat for himself,
He immediately flew into a rage and shouted,
