(Dear readers, please try your best!) The success of this book depends on you.)
Eastern Light Hall, ever since Liu Yu was conferred the title of Crown Prince, it had already been a period of time since he came here. Today, because he needed to check some information, he came to the royal library again with Mingyu and Celine.
Looking at the tall bookshelves filled with all kinds of books, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh."As expected of the best library in Zhujin City. Not to mention the Federation, there were only a few of such a large scale in the entire world!”
Celine, who was following behind, sniffed the air that smelled of ink and looked at the tall bookshelves made of mahogany around her. She nodded and said,"Not bad, it's indeed not something that the libraries in Britain and the European Union can compare to.”
Hearing this, Liu Yu raised her head proudly and said," Needless to say, Dongming Hall has been the location of the royal family's collection of books since the construction of Weiyang Palace. It has a history of more than a thousand years! During this period, the emperors of the past dynasties had been collecting works from various regions, countries, and ethnic groups. Up to now, the number of books alone had reached nearly 100 million. How can those two countries compare to our Federation with their short and pitiful history of founding?”
Looking at Liu Yu's smug face, Celine pursed her lips and continued shopping. Seeing that no one was pandering to her, Liu Yu began to check the information with a depressed expression.
Dongming Hall occupied a large area. In terms of scale, it was second only to Qianqing Palace and Jiaofang Hall in Weiyang Palace. In order to accommodate the ever-increasing collection, Eastern Light Hall had been expanded several times. In the end, in order not to destroy the overall beauty of Weiyang Palace, they even dug out a huge space of ten floors underground! It became a rare underground library in the world.
Under the lead of a Hanlin scholar, Liu Yu came to the area where she wanted to inquire about information. The scholar pointed respectfully at the bookshelf in front of him and said,"Your Highness, the books you want are all here.”
Looking at the bookshelf in front of her, Liu Yu nodded and instructed,""Thank you for your trouble, sir. I will look through it myself. You can leave first!”
"Alright, then I won't disturb Your Highness from reading.”After the scholar left, Liu Yu began to read. As for Celine and Mingyu, they did not disturb him. They were reading books that interested them elsewhere.
This place was specially for books introducing various companies, especially large companies that had been born in recent decades. These were the reasons why Liu Yu was here today. It didn't take long for Liu Yu to find what she needed. Looking at the words " Military Records " on the cover, Liu Yu flipped through it with satisfaction.
After a few pages of unimportant introduction, he began to read the military industry in detail. Other than Zhong Zhou Heavy Industries, which had visited the palace last time, there were also Shanhai Heavy Industries, which also manufactured army weapons, Chengfei Group, and Shenfei Group, which specialized in aviation. Finally, there was the Dalian Manufacturing Plant, which manufactured surface warships for the navy.
Looking at these military enterprises, Liu Yu felt incredulous. Could these be the work of her father? When Liu Yu saw that these companies were established in recent decades and became the leaders of their respective industries in a short period of time, she had no choice but to believe it. Otherwise, without the support of the emperor and the military, how could these companies, which had only been established for such a short time, develop so quickly?
Looking at the directors and shareholders of these companies, Liu Yu saw something unusual. "Eh? Not only did Huai Ren's Zhuge family own shares of Zhong Zhou Heavy Industries, but they were also the chairman of Cheng Fei Corporation!”This was still acceptable to Liu Yu. After all, the Zhuge family of Nanyang had been a staunch supporter of the Tian royal family for thousands of years. Otherwise, Huai Ren would not have become his study companion. However, the list of names that popped up next left him in disbelief!
"Isn't this Li Hao the Patriarch of Longxi's Li Clan? He's actually the chairman of the board of directors of the Shaanxi aircraft manufacturing company?”
"Hey hey, the shareholder of Shanhai Heavy Industry is actually a member of the Sima family in Hanoi.”
Then, the Zhao family of the South Sea, the Yang family of Hongnong, the Cao family of Ye, and other well-known families in the Federation appeared before his eyes.
Looking at the contents of the book, Liu Yu even suspected that he had read a fake book! He had once thought that all the local aristocratic families in the Federation, other than Zhuge of Nanyang, were vermin that needed to be eradicated. However, after today, he had some doubts. Otherwise, it would be terrible if so many military enterprises that were related to the lifeline of the army were controlled by the aristocratic families!
Time passed very quickly. Just as Liu Yu was puzzled, Mingyu walked over and interrupted his thoughts."Your Highness, the Empress called just now and asked you to have lunch at the Jiaofang Palace. The Emperor will also be joining you.”Liu Yu, who had regained her senses, could only temporarily put aside the doubts in her heart and head to Jiaofang Palace.
By the time Liu Yu arrived at the Jiaofang Palace, the Emperor and Empress had already taken their seats. The table was also filled with rich dishes. Seeing Liu Yu arrive, the Empress immediately got up and pulled him to the seat beside her, reproaching,""You child, every time you eat, you always need mother to remind you. If you don't eat on time, how can you grow up?”Liu Yu scratched her head in embarrassment and said,""It's just that there's mother here! Your son is like this."
Alright, the family of three had arrived, and lunch had officially begun. Facing these exquisite dishes, Liu Yu's stomach was full of questions from before, so she seemed a little unhappy. A father knows his son best. The emperor, Liu Hong, could tell that Liu Yu had something on her mind, so he put down his chopsticks and asked,"Yu 'er, what's wrong? Are these dishes not to your liking?”
The Empress also noticed Liu Yu's situation and looked at him worriedly. Seeing the concerned eyes of her father and mother, Liu Yu's heart warmed and she said,"Imperial Father, Imperial Mother isn't having a problem with the food. It's just that your son went to Eastern Light Hall this morning to look up some information and found some problems that he couldn't solve, so he's feeling uneasy!”
"What information did you read, my son?" Tian Zi asked curiously. Tell Imperial Father."
Liu Yu looked at Tian Zi and said," Your son has been looking up some information on the Federation's current major enterprises, especially the military enterprises that are responsible for the production of national defense armaments. I found that there are some problems with the directors and shareholders of these enterprises?”
Hearing Liu Yu's words, Tian Zi already understood. He didn't expect his 7-year-old son to be able to reach this step after his guidance. He was instantly gratified and smiled,"Yu 'er, if you have any problems in your heart, just say it boldly!”
"Yes, Imperial Father!" After receiving Tian Zi's encouragement, Liu Yu did not hesitate and said,"Father, other than the Zhuge Family of Nanyang, are there any other aristocratic families in the Federation that are on your side?”
Upon hearing this, Tian Zi laughed out loud without caring about his manners. After a long time, he stopped laughing under the puzzled gazes of Liu Yu and her son and replied,"Son, don't you already know these questions?”
After receiving Tian Zi's affirmation, Liu Yu finally let go of the doubts in her heart and revealed a relieved smile. He stood up and picked up the wine pot to pour a cup of wine for his father. He said happily,"Father, your son admires everything you have done over the years. Now, I truly believe that the Federation will be revived!”
Tian Zi picked up his wine cup and downed it in one gulp. He looked at Liu Yu and said with relief,""My son, father is also proud to have a son like you!”
The Empress looked at the father and son's performance as if they were bosom friends and could not help but laugh."Alright, why do you two always talk about this during dinner? Yu 'er, hurry up and eat. The dishes are getting cold!”
At this moment, the Empress was about to pick up a piece of streaky pork for Liu Yu, but when she saw the greasy fat, she suddenly began to retch.
Tian Zi quickly stroked the Empress's back gently. Liu Yu also hurriedly handed her a cup of tea, but the Empress's vomiting became more serious.
The Emperor quickly called out,"Men, quickly summon the Imperial Physician."”
The imperial physician arrived very quickly and carefully checked the Empress 'pulse. After a long time, under the worried gaze of the Emperor and Liu Yu, the imperial physician withdrew his hand and bowed to the Emperor."Congratulations, Your Majesty. The queen is not ill, but pregnant.”
"Is that true?" Tian Zi was shocked and asked excitedly.”
The imperial physician bowed again." It's absolutely true. The Empress's pulse has been happy for over a month."”
Liu Yu was also happy when she heard this." In that case, I'll have a younger brother or sister soon. That's great!"”
Tian Zi was extremely excited. One had to know that the Liu family of the Tian family had been a pitiful single heir for so many years. The past emperors had given birth like squeezing toothpaste. Now, not only did he have a naturally intelligent crown prince, but he was also about to have a second child at this age. How could Tian Zi not be happy?
However, the imperial physician's next reminder made Tian Zi and Liu Yu somewhat worried. Because the Empress was already old and her body had always been weak, she had to take care of herself in the future.
However, with the Federation's top medical staff and medical equipment, there was no need to worry too much. For a moment, the Jiaofang Palace was filled with a warm atmosphere!
Soon, the news that the queen was pregnant again spread throughout Zhujin City and reached the ears of all the officials. Undercurrents began to surge inside and outside Zhujin City, and some people had other thoughts.
