Chapter 938 Emperor Wen’s Ambition

This time, Yun Zheng truly witnessed what inter-generational affection meant.

As for the little guy Yuncang, when he was held in his arms, he was not at all restless.

But when Emperor Wen held him, the smile on the child's face never stopped.

He even suspected that this kid was the reincarnation of a flatterer who had known how to flatter Emperor Wen since he was a child.

Emperor Wen seemed to be particularly fond of Yun Cang, and he rarely let go of him since he started holding him.

Yun Zheng remembered that Emperor Wen was very strict in disciplining the princes.

When he was a child, he even thought that Emperor Wen could not laugh.

But in front of the children, Emperor Wen seemed to have lost all the majesty of an emperor and was just a kind grandfather.

Emperor Wen teased the two children for a while before he realized that there was someone missing from their team.

"Where's Miaoyin?"

Yun Zheng asked Yun Zheng with a smile.

"She had something to do and didn't come."

Yunzheng smiled.

"She doesn't want to see me, right?"

Emperor Wen smiled helplessly, "Forget it, if she doesn't want to see me, then she can just not see me! It will save you from being embarrassed."

"Thank you for your understanding, Father!"

Yun Zheng smiled embarrassedly and told Emperor Wen the reason why Qin Qihu didn't come.

"You don't need to tell me this."

Emperor Wen stopped Yun Zheng and pointed at Qin Liugan and said, "This old man has told me many times that Qihu's wives and concubines are pregnant. He is always very proud of it! If he comes here again when his wives and concubines are about to give birth, I will beat him!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Liu dared to smile frivolously, and he was almost arm in arm with Emperor Wen.

Emperor Wen was too lazy to pay attention to the old man and asked Yun Zheng again: "Can Cang'er walk?"

“Not yet!”

Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "Cang'er is only eight months old. He can only walk with help."

What is this old man thinking about!

An eight month old walking?

Even if Yun Cang has a better physique, it should take at least ten months before he can walk, right?

"Is that so?"

Emperor Wen was excited, and immediately squatted down by the wall holding Yun Cang in his arms, and said with a smile: "Good saintly grandson, let's go and show Grandpa the Emperor."

As he spoke, Emperor Wen carefully placed Yun Cang against the wall.

Seeing this, Shen Luoyan immediately looked at Yun Zheng worriedly.

Yun Zheng shook his head gently at her, signaling her not to worry.

So many people are watching!

As soon as Yun Cang fell down, he must have been caught by someone.

Mu Shun was also afraid that Yun Cang would fall, so he quickly squatted down beside him, ready to support Yun Cang at any time.

Yun Cang held onto the wall with his chubby little hands, seeming very happy.

He even wiggled his little butt towards everyone.

Looking at Yun Cang's appearance, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Clap clap..."

Emperor Wen clapped his hands at Yun Cang, who was holding onto the wall and moving in small steps, and opened his arms, "Good saintly grandson, come to Grandpa Emperor."

Yun Cang was attracted by the sound of Emperor Wen's clapping. He let out a giggle, opened his arms and walked towards Emperor Wen.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Yun Zheng felt a burning pain on his face.

Damn it, he was just thinking, how many months will it take for this kid to be able to walk!

As a result, the boy slapped him in the face?

Has this guy been a traitor since childhood?

Or is this guy really a natural flatterer?

Just as everyone was stunned, Yun Cang's legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

After all, the child is only eight months old.

It is extremely rare to be able to walk just a few steps.

If we still expect him to keep walking steadily, it would be a bit difficult for him.

Fortunately, Emperor Wen was not far away from him and quickly hugged him.

"Ha ha……"

Emperor Wen held Yun Cang in his arms and laughed loudly, "Little thing, you can walk as soon as you see Grandpa Huang. You really give Grandpa Huang honor!"

Emperor Wen was in a very good mood. The more he looked at Yun Cang, the more he liked him. He kept calling him "good saintly grandson".

Yun Zheng found it so corny just listening to it!

Damn it!

Why wasn't this old guy so gentle when they were little?

Emperor Wen held Yun Cang in his arms and stood up, then said to Madam Shen and the others with a smile, "Alright, Lao Liu will stay here, and the rest of you can go and rest first! You must be tired after all the traveling."

Having said that, Emperor Wen returned Yun Cang to Shen Luoyan, and turned back to tease Yun Jin.

It was not until Madam Shen and her family left with the children that Emperor Wen gestured for Yun Zheng to sit down.

"How are those seeds? Do the crops they grow produce high yields?"

Emperor Wen did not forget his important business after all.

There is no way he would forget this.

He was thinking about this matter all the way!

Yun Zheng knew that Emperor Wen was going to ask this, so he replied, "The yields of those crops should be pretty good, and two of them are relatively high-yielding..."

Yun Zheng told Emperor Wen in detail the estimated yields of those crops.

He didn't dare to expect too much about the yields of other crops, but he was somewhat confident about the yields of potatoes and pumpkins.

Moreover, both of these can be used as staple foods!

The key is that both crops are relatively easy to grow.

Emperor Wen didn't know what the so-called potatoes and pumpkins looked like, but he was extremely excited just by hearing Yun Zheng say that.

Daqian’s territory is now large enough, surpassing all previous dynasties.

If there were enough food, the population of Daqian might even double in a few decades!

By then, Daqian will have soldiers, money and food.

Not to mention fighting, even scaring the surrounding countries to death!

The more Emperor Wen thought about it, the more excited he became. He stood up and paced back and forth.

It seems like it's a difficult decision to make.

After a long while, Emperor Wen stopped and looked at Yun Zheng expectantly. "Do you think that if I incorporate the three vassal states in the south into Daqian's territory, will they dare to go to war with me?"

Hearing Emperor Wen's words, Yun Zheng's eyelids suddenly jumped.

Jiaolu, Nanzhao, and Yunan!

This old guy wants to expand the territory himself!

Yun Zheng hesitated for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Why did Father suddenly have this idea?"

"I have always had this idea!"

Emperor Wen laughed, "However, the conditions of those three vassal states are rather bad, and they don't have much food. They have to buy food from Daqian every year! I didn't touch them before because I was afraid that after incorporating those three vassal states into Daqian's territory, I would still be dragged down by them. In addition, I was also worried that they would resist fiercely and drag Daqian into the quagmire of war..."

But it’s different now!

Now, Yun Zheng has sent people to find so many high-yield crops from overseas.

If we develop peacefully for a few years, the food problem can be solved.

As for fighting, he had nothing to worry about with the invincible Yun Zheng around.

In this way, the time is ripe to incorporate the three vassal states into the territory of Daqian.

Although he is not good at fighting, it does not stop him from having a heart to expand the territory!

His son has already conquered such a large territory, and as his father, he must do something meritorious to leave a good reputation in the history books of future generations!

"I think this matter can be put off for the time being."

Yun Zheng pondered, "After the tribes in western Moxi surrender, we can put pressure on the three vassal states and make them submit on their own initiative! If they really don't want to, it won't be too late to attack with a large army!"

If we directly incorporate those three vassal states into Daqian's territory now, they might unite with the various tribes in western Mohai.

For the three vassal states, the use of force is the last resort.

The best strategy is to use tactics to make them voluntarily give up their country name and merge into Daqian.

Emperor Wen also agreed with Yun Zheng's suggestion.

However, Emperor Wen couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"I understand the truth, but I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until that time!"
