Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"I personally sewed a picture of hundreds of flowers to wish the prince a happy birthday." Zhao Sese then took out his own gift.

You can see that this picture of hundreds of flowers is embroidered with silk thread. It is lifelike and skillfully crafted. It is indeed a great gift.

"In order to celebrate the birthday of His Highness the Crown Prince, I specially bought and exchanged the ancient inkstone used by the calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi." Gao Ruyi then also presented a birthday gift and said, "I wish your Highness the inspiration to write well and the wonderful pen to bloom."

When Xiang Nan saw this ancient inkstone, he was filled with admiration.

The ancient relics of Wang Xizhi, the sage of calligraphy, can be said to be priceless. Gao Ruyi can even find such treasures, which shows that the Gao family is indeed very knowledgeable.

"With so many great gifts, I wonder what the prince will reward?" Li Zuo asked with a smile.

Xiang Nan smiled and then clapped his hands.

The attendant Shi En immediately brought three trays with fist-sized celadon jars on them.

"Prince, what is here?" Zhang Meiniang asked curiously when she saw it.

"When I return to my mother, I see that these are all cosmetics." Xiang Nan explained, "This is soap, this is perfume, this is pearl cream, this is facial cleanser, this is whitening cream...

The so-called love of beauty is something everyone has. Women want to please their appearance, and children naturally want them to be beautiful and stay youthful and energetic forever. "

He inherited the medical skills of Xilaile, Huang Yaoshi, Li Guishou and others. He also learned ancient beauty recipes from Pinggu Dianhong, and he also had a considerable understanding of chemistry. It is not difficult for him to make some cosmetics.

And things like soap and perfume were indeed considered luxuries in Toyoto's era, and they didn't look shabby when used in return.

Zhang Meiniang curiously took the perfume and smelled it. It was indeed very fragrant, much more fragrant than ordinary fragrant cakes, fragrant pills, and fragrant powder.

"Hmm, such a strong jasmine scent." She said in surprise.

Xiang Nan nodded, "This is made by picking jasmine flowers and making essential oil, and then blending it. If my mother likes it, and her sons and ministers still have it, I will send it to your palace later."

"Yes." Zhang Meiniang nodded, "Yin'er is still interested."

"Why don't you give it to me?" Li Hao said with a smile when he heard it.

Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I would like to dedicate the recipe for making the perfume to my father. When the time comes, it will be trial-produced by the Wensi Academy and either rewarded or sold. I hope it will be popular."

Li Hao nodded.

…

Two days later, news came from the western border that Zhenyuan General Gao Xian was seriously ill and had died after treatment failed.

When the news came, the court was shocked.

The entire Gao family mourned, and even Gao Ruyi cried several times.

Those who are at odds with the high minister are happy in their hearts. When Gao Xian died, the Gao family seemed to have lost an arm, and it was bound to go downhill from now on.

As soon as Gao Xian died, the position of the Protector of the Western Territory Anhu Mansion became vacant, so appointing a new Protector became a top priority.

For a time, I don't know how many people wanted to compete for the position of the Western Territory Protector. After all, as a protector and guardian, he was just like a local emperor. It is a great temptation for everyone.

Therefore, many people recommended or self-recommended, hoping to serve as the guardian of the Western Territory Anhu Prefecture.

If Xiang Nan didn't have anyone available and Pei Zhao, the only one he could trust, would still be by his side, he would have wanted to recommend someone.

However, although Li Hao made him the crown prince, he cared for him in every possible way and followed his advice on many important affairs of the government. But only in terms of military power, Li Hao never let go.

Xiang Nan is surrounded by the Prince's Young Master and the Prince's Young Master, who are responsible for assisting and teaching him, but they are all civil servants. The only military attache and prince Shaobao is Zhao Jingyu, who is far away in Danchi.

Because of this, Xiang Nan basically has no way to get involved in military power.

As the saying goes, political power comes from the barrel of a gun. It is precisely because he has no military power in his hands that Li Hao is not worried that Xiang Nan will rebel like Li Chengye and seek to usurp the throne.

…

"Your Majesty, I recommend General Fang Hao to the chariot and cavalry general. General Fang was born in a general family. He is both civil and military, brave and resourceful. I think he will be qualified for the post of Protector of Anhu Prefecture in the Western Region." Liu Zongmin, the Minister of War, stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, General Cai Xinde is one of the Sixteen Generals. He has a brilliant record and is both civil and military. He is worthy of this post." Ye Chengdao, the Minister of Civil Affairs.

"Prince, what do you think?" Li Hao asked without comment, looking at Xiang Nan.

"Reporting to my father, my knowledge of military affairs is limited and I dare not make any random comments. Everything will be decided by my father." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan quickly stood up and said.

"It doesn't matter, just tell me whoever you have in mind." Li Hao waved his hand.

"I feel that Zhao Jingyu, the general of the auxiliary state and the Marquis of Zhenbei, has been guarding Danchi for one year and is quite familiar with the human geography and political situation of the Western Territory." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said, "It is better to let him serve as the capital of the Western Territory Security Guard. The duty of protection.”

Although Zhao Jingyu is a bit of a fool and wavers, he is indeed a useful talent.

Xiang Nan is now the emperor, and will be the emperor of the Feng Dynasty in the future. And Zhao Sese is Liangdi now, and will at least be a noble concubine in the future. If she gives birth to a son, she will have a chance to inherit the throne.

For Zhao Jingyu, who followed the trend and was determined to climb up, being the head of the country and the grandfather of the future emperor was naturally very tempting. Therefore, he will definitely be loyal to Xiang Nan and strive to accumulate points for his daughter.

For Xiang Nan, this is naturally a good thing.

Besides, Xiang Nan had no one in the military circles except Pei Zhao and Zhao Jingyu, so it was impossible to recommend anyone else.

"Well, Zhao Jingyu is good, that's it," Li Hao said immediately.

Xiang Nan was stunned, but he didn't expect Li Zuo to agree so happily. He immediately bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Father!"

Later, Li Fu appointed General Cai Dexin to guard Danchi.

Cai Dexin, one of the generals of the Sixteenth Guards, has always made many military exploits.

Li Hao still quite trusted him.

…

"Your Highness, thank you for recommending my father to be the Protector of the Western Territory Anhu Mansion." Two days later, Zhao Sese said to Xiang Nan.

The Western Territory Anhu Mansion guards the entire Western Territory, so it naturally has more power than guarding Danchi. Zhao Jingyu changed his position from guarding Danchi to guarding the Western Region. This can be regarded as a promotion.

"You're welcome, we are always a family." Xiang Nan smiled.

"You are right, I will definitely let my father do a good job to repay your support." Zhao Sese nodded.

"His father supported him, and he did things to share his father's worries." Xiang Nan corrected him.

Zhao Sese nodded.

Gao Ruyi felt a little unhappy when she learned that Zhao Jingyu had replaced Gao Xian as the guardian of the Western Territory Anhu Mansion.

After all, Gao Xian has been operating in the Western Territory for more than ten years, and the Gao family has long regarded the Western Territory as their own. Now that Zhao Jingyu was snatching away the fruits of victory, she naturally felt uncomfortable.

For this reason, she specially thought of a strategy to assassinate Zhao Sese.

Turning around, Xiang Nan was discussing with Li Shaoqing, Fang Shiqing and others how to rectify the administration. At this moment, Shi'en, a close servant, came in and whispered in his ear, "Your Highness, Gao Liangdi suddenly had a headache and fell to the ground. Rolling around and foaming at the mouth..."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan frowned, and then stopped Fang Shiqing who was talking endlessly, "Master, please wait a moment, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat, I will come as soon as you go~"
