As soon as you mentioned your leg pain, I thought of a few old friends with similar ailments, often triggered by gloomy weather. Since you mentioned medicine, I might as well offer some to help those elderly gentlemen get through the winter more comfortably.
Zheng Moru's expression turned serious. "Your Majesty, this medicine cannot be taken lightly."
"There's no need to worry. It's not like the medicine is for treating wounds; there aren't that many taboos involved. Haven't you already tried it beforehand? It should be fine. The Imperial Physicians will also take a look."
Zheng Moru could only nod in agreement.
Qin Mu Hui added, "The merchant who brought you the medicine hasn't left yet, has he?"
"No, he hasn't. He has a shop in Jingjing City."
"My Western Army has been stationed in the Sandstorm region for a long time, suffering from chest pain, coughs, and eye discomfort among other symptoms. The Imperial Physicians have researched for years but can only provide temporary relief. The Dayu people have been exposed to the Sandstorm since childhood, yet their symptoms are much milder than our Warriors. I believe they must have better remedies."
"I will send the Imperial Physicians to discuss with that merchant. If we can obtain effective prescriptions, it would ease the burden on our Border Soldiers. If successful, the Loyalty and Righteousness Marquis will deserve the credit."
Zheng Moru quickly expressed his reluctance to take credit.
At that moment, Qi Xiaomian reminded him, "Your Majesty, Dayu's wool products are quite good; they are very warm and comparable to cotton clothes. However, our country hasn't made much progress in craftsmanship yet."
"Also, Dayu's horses are impressive—strong build, fast speed, and great endurance. We could buy some to introduce into our breeding program."
Zheng Moru sighed. "Yongxin Marquis, that merchant is just a drug dealer."
"Merchants have connections with one another; just ask him for an introduction," Qi Xiaomian replied.
"But he is a Dayu merchant; both wool products and horses are strictly prohibited from export."
"The ways of merchants are broad and wild; they are driven solely by profit. When they say they can't do something, it's often just an excuse—indicating that the benefits offered aren't sufficient. As long as we provide enough incentives along with some guarantees, their courage can reach new heights."
"I consider myself quite generous," the Emperor interjected.
Qin Mu Hui agreed with Qi Xiaomian's words and didn't give Zheng Moru a chance to interject further. "This matter doesn't require further discussion; let's settle it this way. Loyalty and Righteousness Marquis, did you come to the palace to request a new residence?"
"I came to express my gratitude to Your Majesty. As for the residence... well, it's a necessary step on my part," Zheng Moru began to lament about his situation.
Xuande Emperor casually responded, "Then let's arrange for a change. There is a place near The Office of Censors; you can move there. If anything happens, The Office of Censors can protect you promptly."
Without waiting for Zheng Moru to express his thanks, Xuande Emperor waved him off.
Zheng Moru felt anxious about Xuande Emperor's attitude—had he revealed something?
Looking at Cai Gonggong who was leading him out of the palace, Zheng Moru handed over a small pouch and asked, "Cai Gonggong, does His Majesty have any grievances against me?"
Cai Zhuo looked at him reproachfully. "Loyalty and Righteousness Marquis, what do you think? Your residence has been quite lively lately—not entirely your fault, but it ultimately happened under your roof."
Your Majesty was awakened several times during the night due to matters concerning your residence. The fact that you did not take out your anger on me is a testament to your benevolence. It is understandable if you show a bit of displeasure.
Zheng Moru wiped away a thin layer of sweat from his forehead. Yes, Cai Gonggong is right; it is my fault for causing Your Majesty to worry.
Well, now that you know, even though Your Majesty may not show much expression, deep down you still hope for my success. What you just discussed with me was actually guiding me towards a path.
You have been granted the title of Loyalty and Righteousness Marquis, which coincidentally aligns with the expectations placed upon you. Your Majesty wants to establish a model, and who better to choose than you?
More than a decade ago, the Loyalty and Righteousness Marquis indeed achieved countless merits. However, in these past ten years, only a few books have been published, and those works are more of a summary of the achievements of others rather than solely your own writings.
