Chapter 129 The meeting of the five countries
"uncle!"
"uncle!"
The girl's super milk sound came from far away.
Jiang Hetang raised his head from his busy government affairs.
"Uncle! Will the Five Nations Grand Court Assembly be held in our Great Zhou this year?!"
"Hey, little girl, you're quite quick to share information. Which gossipmonger is going to gossip about you?"
"Oh, I overheard it all! Those adults were walking in front, and I was following them all the way!"
Mingyue was so excited that she didn't even notice the big beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Uncle! Five years ago, I was too young to participate, but this year is different!"
"Uncle, please tell me quickly! When will the grand court meeting start and who will be attending?"
Jiang Hetang pinched his brows and said, "It's scheduled for the first day of September. If you want to show off your skills, you still have four months to prepare."
Upon hearing this, Mingyue took a big step back and said in an erratic tone, "I'm an illiterate person, so I have nothing to show."
Jiang Hetang held her back, not letting her go. "I found you a female tutor a few days ago, but you didn't want her. When do you plan to start studying? If you don't study, how will you live in the future..."
Seeing that he was about to continue reading, Mingyue brought a glass of water to his lips, pinched her throat, and imitated her father-in-law, "Your Majesty, please have some tea."
Little guy, just wait and see if I can shut your mouth.
While he was sipping tea, Mingyue took the opportunity to ask, "Uncle, you haven't told me who will be coming!"
"There's the Dongyi Kingdom, a country you've dealt with before. It's said their crown prince will be coming."
"And the Kingdom of Goryeo, their envoys are visiting with the eldest and second princesses."
"There is also the Great Bear Kingdom in the north and the Persian Kingdom in the west."
Mingyue nodded.
Jiang Hetang could see that she was thinking of her parents far away in Minzhou again.
In the past few months, Zhao Yunshan and Jiang Mengrou have been very busy in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. Not only do they have to find out the second generation of Dongyi who are hiding deep, but they also have to deal with the problem of bandits on the water.
"You found out, uncle promises you that within one year, no more than two years, I will summon my elder sister and brother-in-law back to Beijing, okay?"
Mingyue shook her head. She knew that it was not easy to catch those people and put down the rebellion.
"Uncle, it's okay. Daddy and Mommy are defending our country. As their child, I definitely can't hold them back!"
After hearing these words, Jiang Hetang felt a pang in his heart as he looked at Mingyue, who was clenching her fists tightly in front of him.
This is how my sister and brother-in-law fought for me in my previous life.
Now that he was in power, whenever there was any trouble, his elder sister and brother-in-law would be the first to rush forward.
Not to mention their children, Mingyue is truly a treasure bestowed by God to the Great Zhou.
In the state of Yu, Mingyue accidentally discovered the remnants of the previous dynasty, dug out the previous dynasty's great secret treasure, and filled the national treasury;
The establishment of the Salesian Home inspired other places to follow suit, which greatly reduced the rate of lost children throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty and cultivated many capable people.
He set up a pharmacy for the common people to diagnose and treat illnesses, which reduced the death rate of the poor near the capital and improved the living conditions of many families suffering from illness.
The "movable type printing technology" that was introduced some time ago, although in the short term it can only see the speed of book production increased, book prices decreased, and more people can afford to buy books.
But the more far-reaching impact lies in the future. I believe this will definitely promote the cultural prosperity and development of the Great Zhou.
To Jiang Hetang, Mingyue is more than just a niece. She is the savior of his wife and children, and in other words, his savior.
What Mingyue did for the Great Zhou was not only for the people of the Great Zhou, but more for consolidating his prestige.
All he could do was to try his best to protect them and pamper Mingyue for the rest of his life.
Mingyue patted Jiang Hetang and said, "Uncle, are you too tired? You're in a daze."
"It's okay. Uncle just remembered that the prefect of Weicheng sent a box of large pearls yesterday, and he didn't know what to do with them."
He pretended to be distressed, still making shapes with his hands, "Such a big pearl."
Mingyue's eyes widened, "I!! I want it! Give it to me!!"
Jiang Hetang smiled and said, "Go back to your palace quickly. I've sent it to you a long time ago."
She kissed him on the cheek, "Uncle, you will always be my uncle!"
It turned around and ran away, with two little tails following it.
As soon as Mingyue returned to the palace, she saw Gungun circling around the table, as if he was helping Mingyue to guard it.
There was a young eunuch standing next to him. When he looked closely, he found that it was Xiao Mazi.
"Little Pony! What a coincidence! Why are you here?"
"In reply to the princess, I will deliver the pearls." As soon as he finished speaking, he bowed to Mingyue and said, "I will take my leave!"
A gust of wind blew by and the little pony disappeared.
The three of them looked at the direction he left, their jaws dropping to the ground.
Yunying covered her mouth and said, "Just now, this little pony brought the pearl. Perhaps because he was unfamiliar, General Gungun thought he was a bad guy. He was guarding the pearl while trying to prevent the little pony from escaping."
Now, everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Gungun who was kneeling on the ground.
It was just like a good baby, with its head tilted back, tongue sticking out, breathing heavily, and its tail wagging so hard that it made a double shadow.
It makes people want to pull it hard.
Mingyue did so, buried in the rolling fur.
"My dog is so good! He loves cleanliness! He smells so good!"
Indeed, there are special people taking care of him. In addition, GunGun is very sensible and clean on weekdays. He won’t run to play in the mud. He is a furry and majestic "general".
While Mingyue was looking at the pearls that were as bright as light bulbs, she did not forget to share the news of the five-nation court meeting with them.
"Ah——" Taotao screamed!
Mingyue scratched her ears and asked, "What's wrong?"
Taotao hugged Mingyue and jumped around.
"Ah!! Is my idol coming?!"
"Who is your idol?" three people asked at the same time.
"Of course it's Philips from Bear Country!"
"I heard that he is tall and powerful, and can climb mountains and dive into water without any problem~"
"The most shocking thing is that he once saved a child from a tiger's mouth!"
"Oh my God! Such a heroic man! There are so many rumors about him, and he's still eighteen years old when he returns. Don't you want to meet him?"
Taotao looked at him with admiration, like a crazy fan.
The other three were speechless.
But this did arouse Mingyue's interest. In modern times, the Bear Country is also considered to be a certain country in Russia.
The people there are known as the "fighting nation"!
I'm really curious.
