Looking at the pale young woman in front of him, Wu Feng felt a pity in his heart and then felt indescribable emotion. No one in the village had ever thought that his first male child would be born from a woman who did not want any status. This left him speechless. He didn't know how to face the angry ministers. Leng Ruoxing, what are you thinking in your head
Leng Ruo His eyes were red, and His Majesty, who was always so generous, probably couldn't let it go. Why would he want to do this? Only then did Leng Ruoxing realize how important the child in his arms would be to the entire empire, and his weight seemed to be unbearable for him.
Seeing the baby's red cheeks and the powerful sucking lips lying on the breast of the beautiful beauty, Wufeng didn't know how to speak for a moment. He promised to give her a freedom and give her a life of her own. However, now I don't know how to face it. Zhu Zimei and Li Qingshi each gave birth to a daughter in one year, which left me still without a male heir. Now that I finally have an heir, this woman has He made it clear that he did not want his children to be bound by the palace and wanted to give them freedom.
It was only after Wu Feng was crowned that he understood the hardships of the royal family. It was even more unbearable for these innocent children to be subject to so many shackles. He once vowed to give his children freedom, but now it seems that it was just a word. , royal dignity does not allow heirs with their own bloodline to have too much freedom.
He saw Wu Feng pacing back and forth beside his bed. Leng Ruoxing sighed softly and said: "Your Majesty, please don't say any more. I remember every word you said, otherwise I would not have this child. The ups and downs in the palace and the concubine This concubine has nothing to do with the child, I have no other requirements, you have no joke, I just hope that your majesty will not forget this sentence and it is enough."
Wu Feng had another headache. To be honest, he believed that he might have a male heir. It was not impossible to meet this woman's request. However, the ministers did not think so. They had already given birth to several daughters, and it was not easy to get one. The male heir is already in his thirties. No matter what this woman's attitude is, this is her eldest son, to the ministers. This is simply the natural heir to the crown prince.
"Ruoxing, I know how you feel. I promised you that I would not go back on my word, but you also know that the ministers are very emotional now, and they will never tolerate you taking this child away under such circumstances. What I mean is that you stay in this palace first and don't be busy at this moment. Let me slowly persuade the ministers. How about you wait until their emotions stabilize and then try to reason?"
"Your Majesty, is this a delaying tactic? If other concubines gave birth to princes for you in this year and a half, the ministers might relent, but what if there is still no response within this year and a half? Then will I still be there? Do you want to stay here with your child?" Leng Ruoxing's words were indescribably cold. She also knew in her heart that the other party was in a difficult position, but for the happiness of herself and her child, she had to argue with reason.
"Uh, um..." Wu Feng was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer the other party.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court." The chamberlain gently urged Wu Feng.
Seeing His Majesty the Emperor slowly sitting on the throne with an unhappy look on his face, all His Majesty's ministers knew that His Majesty was probably worried about the issue of heirs again. In the eyes of Xiao Tang and Ling Tianfang, this matter couldn't be simpler. The interests of the empire must be obeyed. Since His Majesty the Emperor has no other male heirs, Leng Ruoxing's child must be kept. Since His Majesty has really had no male heirs since joining, then this child is untouchable. Of course, the Crown Prince, even if he is There will be other male heirs in the future, but this child is His Majesty's eldest son. Its importance can be imagined, and it is entirely possible that he is more suitable for the throne than other heirs.
"Your Majesty, minister..." Before Xiao Tang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wu Feng: "Xiao Tang, we are not going to talk about my heirs today. If there are other matters, please come quickly. If there are no other matters, I will withdraw from the court. "
After exchanging glances with Ling Tianfang, Xiao Tang also knew that His Majesty the Emperor had been troubled by this issue during this period. Leng Ruoxing was not just stubborn. Not only did he not want his status, he didn't even want anything else. He only wanted this. Child, and your majesty is still held back by your former majesty’s promise. Your majesty is also a soft-hearted person. Can you take his words with women seriously? It's just that this is His Majesty's family matter, and it's not easy for him to interfere, but if His Majesty is to let this woman who was born in the martial arts take the child away when there are no other male heirs, that is absolutely unacceptable. For this reason, Xiao Tang and Ling Tianfang jointly met with Diao Su and Xu Bin and made it clear that they would monitor the movements of the palace. If the woman wanted to flee with the child, she must not be allowed to escape.
"Your Majesty, since this matter is not discussed, I would like to report to Your Majesty the issue of the Japanese lands. Now the Japanese lands are at peace, but the situation in the Japanese lands is not peaceful. Several companies that cooperate with the empire still cannot fully control the situation in the Japanese lands. I and I Ling Zuo envoy exchanged opinions and suggested that the period of military control of the Japanese Empire should be extended to three years. The establishment of Japanese counties should not be considered until the situation in the Japanese Empire has completely calmed down. The Imperial Security Bureau should appropriately shift the focus of its work to the Japanese Empire and eliminate the Japanese civilians. At the same time, the navy can also choose suitable islands to establish bases in the eastern sea off the coast of Japan to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of the opportunity to go to sea to escape." Xiao Tang saw that Wu Feng was not in the mood to talk about this matter, so he turned the topic to other government affairs. Knowing that this matter must be settled sooner or later, he had already communicated with other important ministers in the court and reached an agreement that the royal blood would never be allowed to flow among the people.
"Well, it's accurate. The period of military control in Japan will be extended to three years. The Security Bureau will strengthen its strength and use various methods to eliminate the rebel forces. If necessary, immigration measures can be taken to move those stubborn and unruly people to the New World, so that they can be with other people. Mixing ethnic groups will promote their assimilation process." Wu Feng weakly agreed.
Japan had been conquered by the Imperial Navy and Land Army half a year ago. The Imperial Dadongyang Fleet, equipped with a large number of thunderbolts and fire cannons, decided the outcome in one battle and completely defeated the Japanese naval fleet. Then the Imperial Army landed on Ghost Island and Flower Island respectively. The Liyuan tribe put up a crazy resistance in the Japanese mainland, but faced with the disparity in military strength, the Liyuan tribe's resistance could only be short-lived. In addition, before that, the Imperial Intelligence Department had successfully instigated the rebellion of the Tianqiu tribe and some other groups that were originally opposed to the original tribe. The rise of the dissatisfied tribe, Tachiharabe, flashed from the sky like a comet.
The imperial army did not encounter much direct resistance to the Japanese conquest, but small confrontations among the people continued one after another, forcing the imperial army to adopt tough methods of suppression, and also made it difficult for the imperial army to escape from the Japanese for a long time.
"I obey." Xiao Tang saw that Wu Feng was in a bad mood. He originally had something to say, but he could only swallow it at this time.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the martial law period in Heathrow and Kaman should also be extended appropriately. Although the situation in Heathrow and Kaman is relatively relaxed at present, the instability of the situation in the two places may endanger the smooth transition of Poole. and Duodun, so I think it is better to temporarily extend the period of military control in the two places. In addition, I suggest that the original troops in the two places that cannot be resettled and dealt with for a while can be disrupted and reorganized. At present, a large number of soldiers have lost their military status. Living among the people can easily lead to instability. If we can recruit elites among them, grant them a certain status, and send them to the New World, I believe that it will not only effectively alleviate the huge pressure on the security situation in the two places, but also add a regular army to the empire in the New World. Auxiliary force.”
The person who presented the petition was Bo Jinchen, the Right Envoy of the Privy Council. He had been brewing this idea for a long time. The Sislo Empire and the Kaman Empire almost finally succumbed to the stranglehold by the empires using various forces. They were facing like locusts. Ordinary Bein and nomadic cavalry were frantically raiding the Siliberian plains, while the imperial army stationed hundreds of thousands of troops in key border towns. The Sislo and Kaman nobles had to finally beg for surrender to the empire to avoid becoming nomads. and the prey of the Boin.
The peaceful disintegration of the two regimes also brought many benefits to the empire, but also brought considerable pressure. After all, it was not destroyed and destroyed by war. It preserved the existing economic results while also allowing the nobles and armies of the two countries to all Although these organized armies have surrendered to the empire, this is just the upper echelons of the army accepting the reality of failure. For the middle and lower levels of the army, many people simply cannot accept this reality, and they do not resist the country. The surrender was full of indignation, although they also knew that they had no chance at all against the Tang Empire.
Although this large number of dissatisfied soldiers have been disbanded, their loss among the people is still a considerable hidden danger. Although the empire has stationed a large number of troops to stabilize the situation in Heathrow and Kaman, this stability is only relative. , various rumors and gossips are still spreading among the people, and a spark of fire may ignite the fire of riots at any time. Although the Imperial Administration Council is negotiating with the nobles of the two places on the future administrative status of the two places, this is just Representing the attitude of most of the people, those down-and-out soldiers who have lost their status have already felt despair. Once this despair loses control of their rationality, it may lead to uncontrollable chaos.
