In the Chongzheng Hall, the King of Chu and other children of the royal family surnamed Zhao stood side by side in front of the large map covering half of the wall, looking at Emperor Xuande in confusion. In the past, during the festivals, Emperor Xuande held a banquet in the Daqing Hall, and he talked there before the banquet. Today, on the Shangyuan Festival, if you want to enjoy the lanterns, you should also enjoy the lanterns. What's so good about the map
Emperor Xuande couldn't hide his excitement. He stood in front of the map in a 80% new homely robe and asked his younger brother, nephew and sons across from him, "Guess what I asked you to come here for?"
When the King of Chu and others looked at the map again, they could only guess that it was related to important matters in the imperial court.
Emperor Xuande smiled, then took a few steps forward, placed his big hand lightly on a piece of land to the northwest of Yutu Capital, and said in a chatty manner, "I want to send troops to Jin, what do you think?"
He still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were scrutinizing the King of Chu and the others.
Uncle Qin Wang took a breath, and then pondered on the map, probably not thinking about the answer for a short time. The Duke of Wu'an, the King of Chu, and the Duke of Gong clapped and applauded at the same time, with excitement on their faces, as if a warm-blooded son was eager to serve the imperial court. These reactions were all expected by Emperor Xuande. He smiled and looked at the other two sons who liked to read.
Zhao Heng frowned slightly, Prince Rui hesitated.
Emperor Xuande asked the second child first: "If you have something to say, say it, it's all from your own family, so you don't have to worry about it."
Prince Rui pondered for a moment, pointed to the area of Liao Kingdom at the top of the map, and said, "In the land of the six states of Jin, the two generations of emperors depended on Emperor Liao as their uncle and their father to survive. If there is no support from Liao, the father will take Jin. The country is easy to handle, but once we send troops to Jin, the Liao Emperor will send troops to support, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of, the Liao soldiers dare to support, we will fight together!" King Chu interrupted him vigorously, and King Gong nodded vigorously.
Prince Rui squinted at Prince Chu, with great disdain in his heart. In his eyes, his elder brother, King Chu, was a warrior. He only knew how to fight and kill, and how brave he was. What Prince Rui couldn't understand the most in his life was why his father was so important to his elder brother. Uncle Gaozu, the emperor, was arrogant in martial arts, but he never succeeded in attacking Jin. His father was a literati, and he never fought a single battle after he ascended the throne. If you fail, you will become a laughing stock.
But Prince Rui couldn't question his father in front of his father, and was just about to find a more euphemistic reason, when suddenly he saw his father looking at the king of Chu approvingly. The father emperor was very excited to fight the state of Jin, and asked them to come to discuss in advance just to get support. King Chu and King Gong both agreed, but he was the only one who objected. What would the father emperor think of him
After he figured it out, Prince Rui echoed King Chu in a timely manner: "The elder brother is right. With two elder brothers assisting the emperor, the attack on Jin will be even more powerful." Fight it. If he wins, he will have nothing to lose. If he loses, the emperor will definitely win Taking out the anger of those who approve today will show the wisdom of the son who had opposed him.
The King of Chu smiled, holding his head high.
Emperor Xuande finally looked at the old Sanshou King, who was always silent.
Zhao Heng looked at Yutu and said, "You can fight, the key is to fight for help."
The King of Chu nodded again and again, and King Rui sneered in his heart, the third child is not talking nonsense, Jin is weak and Liao is strong, and even a fool knows to cut off the reinforcements of Liao.
Emperor Xuande was quite surprised. He always thought that the third child was obsessed with reading, but he did not expect to have an opinion on the war. Knowing that the third child could not explain the specific reinforcement tactics, Emperor Xuande said sternly: "About this battle, go back and write a letter to you, and submit it to me tomorrow morning. By the way, what does the King of Qin say?"
The King of Qin smiled apologetically: "I don't understand the war, so I listen to the emperor."
He has always had this temper, and everything is based on Emperor Xuande's horse.
At the same time, on the side of the Central Palace, Princess Chu Feng Zheng also came back from the clean room. Song Jianing waited for a long time. As soon as Feng Zheng sat down, she leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Is there another sister-in-law?"
Feng Zheng's cheeks were slightly red, and he replied softly: "It should be, I will ask Lang Zhong's pulse tomorrow, and I will tell you when it is confirmed."
Song Jianing looked at her flat belly, and congratulated enviously, "Sister-in-law is really amazing." Soon after entering the door, the good news came out that the first child was a son, and there was no need to worry about having children in the future.
She was stupid, and the envy in her eyes was overflowing, Feng Zheng jokingly said: "Look at you, are you in a hurry? Don't worry, seeing the love of the Third Highness for you, it may be my turn to congratulate you next month. already."
Song Jianing hadn't been pregnant yet, and was a little hot when teased, she lowered her head and pretended to be drinking tea, but she was thinking about her current husband. The prince is so brave, she can't take it every time she gives it. Afterwards, she always gets a lot outside, and sometimes more than once a night. If it goes on like this, she should have news soon, right
Looking at her lower abdomen, Song Jianing was suddenly very greedy. She wanted to have a baby soon. As long as the prince did not dislike it, she liked both his son and daughter. With a child, she would not feel bored in the palace.
After the banquet was over, Song Jianing and Feng Zheng went to the front together with Princess Rui and Princess Qin, and the nursing mother followed with her brother Sheng who was already asleep. There were lanterns hanging everywhere in the palace, but the light was still dim. From a distance, I saw a tall figure in front of me walking towards this side, and I couldn't see clearly.
Princess Qin smiled and guessed: "It must be the King of Chu, who has come to pick up his daughter-in-law and son."
Feng Zheng smiled shyly and got close, it really was the King of Chu.
The family of three slowed down and walked slowly behind, the couple's soft words clearly passed to the front. Song Jianing heard the King of Chu ask Feng Zheng whether he was cold or not. Feng Zheng smiled and said that he was not cold. It was an ordinary thing, but it was warm and enviable. Song Jianing couldn't help looking forward, and after walking for a while, he finally saw four men standing under a lantern, Prince Rui, Prince Qin, and Prince Wu'an standing together, slender and tall like a bamboo standing alone in the dark. , is her man.
Song Jianing felt a little warmer in her heart, but the next moment, she saw the three Prince Rui walking towards them and greeted their concubine respectively. Only her Prince Shou, motionless, only tilted his head in this direction.
For some reason, Song Jianing suddenly felt a little cold, and her footsteps slowed down involuntarily. She didn't come to him until the couple of Qin Wang passed over the Shou Wang for about ten steps. The man looked at her silently, Song Jianing forced a smile, and asked with concern, "Your Highness has been waiting for a long time, is it cold?"
"No." Zhao Heng said simply, looking back, seeing that his brother and sister-in-law were surprisingly slow, he said, "Let's go."
Song Jianing nodded and followed him. From time to time, there were jokes from Princess Qin and Princess of Wu'an County in front, followed by the loud voice of King Chu, which made them more lonely in the middle. Song Jianing tried to find something to say, but she didn't know what to say except that Feng Zheng might be pregnant, but now that she was in the palace, it was not suitable to talk about Feng Zheng's private affairs.
The palace road was long and silent, and finally walked out of the palace gate. King Qin and others had already left. Zhao Heng supported Song Jianing and put her on the carriage, and he followed.
There were only the two of them in the enclosed carriage. Song Jianing hugged the stove and smiled softly, "Sister-in-law may have good news again."
Zhao Heng had something in his heart, and when he heard her talk, he hummed, but he didn't really care.
Song Jianing saw him staring straight ahead, thoughtful, so he didn't dare to disturb him any more.
When they arrived at the Shouwang Mansion, Zhao Heng helped her get out of the car, stopped when he walked to the front yard, looked at her and said, "I have something to do, but I can't go, you can rest."
Song Jianing responded and looked at Eunuch Fu subconsciously, what's the matter with your lord
Eunuch Fu didn't follow him to the Chongzheng Hall, and the master didn't reveal any clues, so he couldn't help. Song Jianing had no choice but to go back to the backyard, full of doubts. Tonight was not the day to sleep in separate rooms, and even during the Spring Festival, no husband would ask his wife to sleep alone in a separate room. The night was getting deeper and deeper, Song Jianing tossed and turned, touched the place that belonged to him next to him, and the expectations for his children at the banquet were like a layer of autumn frost, and it cooled down little by little.
In the study room in the front yard, Zhao Heng also has a more detailed map of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was already dark. He stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were fixed on the border area of Jin, Liao and Zhou. , Fang walked to the desk and wrote with a dignified expression. It was almost two days after finishing writing, and when he reread it, Zhao Heng suddenly frowned.
He wanted to contribute to Fa Jin, but, usually doing nothing, suddenly...
Looking at the memorial in his hand again, Zhao Heng smiled, put away the memorial, and took a blank one over. The court is full of talented people, so he may not be short of this strategy. If not, he must dedicate it to his father for the sake of the big week. If someone coincides with him, he will not need to do it again.
The second memorial was almost all empty talk, and it was written very quickly. Zhao Heng only used a cup of tea.
As soon as I put down the pen, there was a second bang in the street.
Zhao Heng walked out of the study, the night sky was full of bright moon, and the moon was bright.
"Shangyuan Festival, the moon is fifteen rounder than usual." Seeing that the master was interested in admiring the moon, Eunuch Fu said with a smile.
Zhao Heng listened, and his brows, which were already slightly frowned due to state affairs, tightened a little again, and blamed himself for patronizing the war and forgetting about the festival tonight. It's just that it's already two watch, she must have already slept, right
Eunuch Fu secretly observed the master's expression, and seeing that the master was thinking about the crooked road again, he lowered his head and persuaded in a low voice: "My lord, the night is quiet at this time, and the moonlight is just right. Sleep, maybe never seen it before." What are you thinking about? What the princess is looking forward to most now is definitely the prince to accompany her.
Zhao Heng glanced at him and walked directly towards the backyard.
The doorkeeper was locked, and when she heard Eunuch Fu's voice, she jumped to the ground without opening her eyes, and quickly put on her coat and ran to open the door. When she went to the inner room, Song Jianing hadn't fallen asleep. She heard the movement in the yard, she raised her head blankly, and Song Jianing sat up in shock until the voice of Liu'er greeted the prince in front of the main room door.
The sound of footsteps came quickly, and Song Jianing hesitated for a moment, but still slid back into the bed and lay on his side.
The prince asked her to sleep. If she found out that she was awake in the middle of the night, would she have guessed the reason for her insomnia, and then felt that she was not open-minded enough
Song Jianing tried his best to adjust his breathing and refused to reveal his secrets.
