    royal palace.  Chen Zaixing quickly walked up the steps and picked up his daughter who was staggering towards him. The two-year-old daughter Chen Songqing put her little face close to her father's ear and spoke private words between father and daughter.  His wife Luo Lin was leaning against the door frame, watching with tears the scene of the father-daughter reunion, with their second child in her slightly protruding belly.  "Fu Sheng, you're back!" "Yes, I'm back!" Chen Zaixing held his daughter in one hand, walked forward, and embraced his wife.  In the living room decorated in Western style, Chen Zaixing sat on the sofa, with his daughter sitting on his shoulders, playing with his father's hair with great interest. Luo Lin took the iced coconut milk presented by the maid and passed it to her husband.  He asked softly: "Have you had a hard time along the way? Is everything going well?" "There are boats coming and going, what's the trouble?" Chen Zaixing took the daughter off his shoulders and handed it to the wet nurse beside him to prevent her from passing it on.  His hair was made into a chicken coop, and he said with a smile: "Although there were some twists and turns in exporting rice to Dashun, it was finally successful. I borrowed the east wind from the Liu family's uncle and the Japanese invasion of Ryukyu, and also brought the rice merchants' guild in Shanghai to  It was taken down. I left Jiang Zhiqing in Shanghai to take charge of this matter. It will be more convenient in the future!" "That's good!" Luo Lin couldn't help but beam with joy when he heard that the rice export was going well. It turned out that although the Kingdom of Myanmar was in Dashun  However, in order to compensate the British for the military expenditure of four million pounds, the Kingdom of Myanmar had to borrow money from the Shanghai Banking Group headed by Houde Bank. In order to repay the loan, the Kingdom of Myanmar had to  Open up new sources of income, of which rice export is a very important part.  "Don't be too happy too early!" Chen Zaixing sighed: "Except for rice, no one dares to contact teak, tin ore and other exports. Firstly, these products are not needed for success.  The most important thing is that the British control the sea. The merchants in Dashun dare not offend the British! " "Husband, don't worry too much. This kind of thing cannot be done once or twice. Let's take our time."  Just come!" Luo Lin saw the sad look on Chen Zaixing's face and quickly offered words of comfort. It turned out that although the British did not get the monopoly rights on tin ore, teak and other Burmese products in the "British-Burmese Treaty", due to the British Empire's shipping  With its absolute advantages in industry and naval power, Myanmar has no choice in exporting raw materials and has to sell its products at very low prices. This is also an important reason why Chen Zaixing went to Shanghai this time.  "It seems that this situation can only change after the completion of the Yunnan-Burma Railway. Even if all products cannot be sold to Dashun, at least there will be one more choice, and the British will make some concessions in terms of price!  "When Chen Zaixing said this, he turned his eyes to his wife. He reached out and gently touched Luo Lin's slightly bulging belly, and asked in a low voice: "How are you and the child in your belly during my absence?"  "Yes!" Luo Lin's cheeks were slightly red and he nodded slightly. The two maids on the side saw the opportunity and carefully stepped out and put down the bead curtain. Only the couple were left in the living room. Luo Lin  He leaned slightly, leaned into her husband's arms, and whispered: "It would be great if it was a boy this time, as smart and capable as you, husband!" "Girls are pretty good too!" Chen Zaixing patted his wife's hand gently.  Cheeks: "It's nice to be as pretty and cute as you and Song Qing, isn't it?" Luo Lin heard this and got up from her husband's arms, with a sly smile on his face: "That's not okay, don't you Han people say  What are the three ways to be unfilial and "not having children is the most important thing"? Among the "seven things" is "having no children", giving birth to a boy can continue the Chen family's legacy!" "That's just a mediocre woman, you.  But Princess Regent of the Kingdom of Myanmar, if you don't follow the example of Duke Zhou, how can I dare to restrain you with this "seven out and three out" policy? " Luo Lin's face suddenly changed slightly when she heard this, and she sat upright.  Body, solemnly said: "Fusheng, when it comes to the regent princess, I have something to ask your opinion on." "What is it?" Seeing his wife being so serious, Chen Zaixing couldn't help but cheer up.  Lin has been serving as the regent for more than five years. Whether it is the accumulation of experience or the influence of power, she has unconsciously developed an aura unique to those in power. Even if Chen Zaixing is her  At some point, my husband also felt a heavy sense of oppression unique to his power.  "Luo Qin is already eighteen years old. According to the customs and laws of the kingdom, he has reached adulthood and can ascend the throne of the king!" At this point, Luo Lin stopped speaking, and his eyes revealed an inquiring gaze.  Chen Zaixing was stunned for a moment. His wife's question made him a little stunned for a moment. What did the other party's question mean?  It was Luo Lin who was obsessed with power and wanted to prevent his younger brother from officially signing up.It was just an ordinary inquiry. In just a few seconds, Chen Zaixing had gone back and forth six or seven times in his mind. In the end, he decided not to express his position first and to test his wife's intentions.  After all, his position is too sensitive. Although the couple is extremely close, his wife and Luo Qin are also the same mother and blood relatives, so it is better to be more cautious when it comes to power.  "I don't know much about the history of the Kingdom of Myanmar. Is there any precedent similar to your brother and sister?" "This -" Luo Lin hesitated for a moment, and for some reason his face turned dark, and he whispered: "Similar  This is indeed the case. In the Toungoo Dynasty, there was a pair of siblings. Their father also died early. The elder sister became the regent first. When the younger brother was old enough to ascend the throne, she gave up the position of regent and handed over the power to the younger brother.  " "I see, if that's the case, you might as well just follow the precedent! Just find a suitable time and let Luo Qin take the throne!" Chen Zaixing laughed, but he was thinking secretly.  Luo Lin didn't speak. She sat there quietly with a gloomy expression on her face. Chen Zaixing called her name twice, but she didn't respond. After about half a moment, Luo Lin suddenly said: "Let's put this matter aside for now."  Let's talk about it later. Anyway, Luo Qin's birthday is in November, and there is still some time before he turns eighteen. "Chen Zaixing nodded, maybe it was his imagination, after his wife said that Luo Lin was about to ascend the throne.  After the incident, her mood became bad. Chen Zaixing said some small words and was still gentle in every possible way, but Luo Lin still looked depressed and uneasy. After ten minutes, she sighed and whispered: "I'm a little tired."  Come on, let¡¯s take a rest first. You¡¯ve worked hard along the way, so take care of yourself!¡± Chen Zaixing hurriedly helped his wife get up and took her to the bedroom to lie down and rest. He walked out of the bedroom and carefully thought about his wife¡¯s conversation for a while, feeling that it was still inappropriate.  Answer, finally had to shake his head and walked out.  On the way, he happened to meet a monk in his fifties, who was the master who usually taught Luo Lin and his brothers. Chen Zaixing had an idea and rushed forward to stop the monk. He said with a smile: "Honored Master, it's a coincidence that we met here!"  The monk hurriedly saluted: "This poor monk has come to see Mr. Chen. I haven't seen him for many days!" "I went to Dashun some time ago and just came back today!" When Chen Zaixing said this, he changed his meaning and asked:  "I just had a chat with Her Majesty the Eldest Princess, and I heard her say that your country also has a pair of siblings in the Toungoo Dynasty. Just like the two Your Majesties today, the elder sister will be the Regent Princess first and take charge of the country's affairs. When the younger brother is older,  "Have you ever had such a thing before handing over your authority to your younger brother?" "That's right!" The monk said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess, really has a good memory. I mentioned this once when I was explaining Buddhist scriptures more than a month ago. I didn't expect it.  The princess still remembered that although the elder sister was a woman, she was brave and resolute. When her father died, she led the army to kill more than ten rebellious officials in the court, and the country was safe. She and the eldest princess were really in harmony for a while!  So!" Chen Zaixing said with a smile: "She is indeed a hero among women, just like my beloved wife, but I would like to ask one more question, what will happen to that sister after she abdicates?" "This -" the monk heard this.  His face suddenly changed, and he stammered as if there was something difficult to say. Chen Zaixing was such a shrewd person. He immediately guessed that there might be some imperial family history that cannot be explained to outsiders. There are countless such things in Chinese history books.  , I didn¡¯t expect it to be average in a small country like Myanmar.  Thinking of this, Chen Zaixing took a step forward and lowered his voice: "Honored Master, what happened today came from your mouth and reached my ears. No other person except heaven and earth knows about it. Please tell me in detail. I am grateful for the resurrection."  " When the monk saw this, he knew that he couldn't pass the blame, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "It's not the old monk's excuse.  It doesn't matter." At this point, the monk lowered his voice and told Chen Zaixing the past story in detail.  It turns out that after the sudden death of their father, the Tian family siblings of the Toungoo dynasty, several close relatives of the royal family gathered their tribesmen in an attempt to usurp the throne.  Although that sister is a female, she is actually a female hero who is not inferior to men.  At this critical moment, he wore armor and led a massive attack with soldiers and horses. In just a few days, he defeated all the rebels one by one. He then took charge of the government for several years. When his younger brother came of age, he helped his brother ascend the throne and relieved him of power.  Bit.  But she didn't expect that after her brother ascended the throne, he was concerned about his sister's prestige and ability. He first cut off her sister's wings one by one when she was in power, and then imprisoned her in a Buddhist temple.  The sister's husband's clan was also wiped out by his clan, and his son was imprisoned in another Buddhist temple. Half a year later, his brother sent someone to execute him.  The brave and resolute sister died in depression after two years in the monastery.  Thank you book friends for your generous reward. There will be another update tonight!
