Using only a jade hairpin to hold up her black hair, Zhang Wan put on a fur robe and led several palace maids to the Shigan Palace. It was cold in winter, and it was a little cold to walk under the corridor. When I arrived at the Shigan Hall, the heat of the fire wall and the earth dragon dispelled the cold. Zhang Wan took off her robe and ordered someone to inform her before she slowly entered the hall.

Fragrance dew is burning in the hall, elegant and soft. The emperor closed his eyes slightly and leaned on the couch. Seeing Zhang Wan entering the hall, he turned his head and said, "A-wan is here? They said that you will be resting in the East Palace. It's not right to be here all day and get sick."

When Zhang Wan gave birth to her youngest son three months ago, it was time to rest. Besides, if you have to take children, it is not good if you are infected.

The emperor has said it many times, but how could Zhang Wan forget her duty. After saluting, she respectfully said: "My daughter-in-law is in good health, and Erlang was also carried by the wet nurse for the past two days. It's okay. Is the royal father better today?"

"I am much better, I can already stay here." Liang Feng said.

His voice was still a little hoarse, but it was indeed much better than the previous two days. Over the years, I have been ill a few times, but none of them are as dangerous as this time. It was only when he caught cold that the high fever persisted, and the Tai Hospital was busy for ten days before the condition was suppressed.

Hearing what the Son of Heaven said, Zhang Wan showed a look of joy on her face: "Father Huanglong is healthy, so I can rest assured. But I'd better not panic and move around and take more time to get rid of the root of the disease."

Liang Feng smiled and asked the Crown Princess to take a seat, and then asked, "How is Xian'er these days?"

The Crown Princess gave birth to a boy named Liang Xian. However, not long after the child was born, Liang Feng fell ill, but he hadn't seen this grandson very much.

"Father, don't worry, Erlang can eat and sleep now, and he has gained a lot of weight. Go back and bring him to see the father." Zhang Wan smiled.

"Let's talk about it when I get better." Liang Feng sighed softly.

He is nothing more than an adult. It would be bad if he passed the disease on to his children.

Seeing the worried look on the emperor's face, Zhang Wan quickly said: "These days, the great man also misses the father and emperor, and even copied the "Book of Filial Piety". Let the daughter-in-law present it to the father and the emperor."

Saying that, she asked the palace servants to present a few pages of paper. Liang Feng turned it over in his hand and smiled: "This word is stronger than Rong'er back then. It's still Awan who taught her well. In the future, when Zhi'er can go to school, she will also be taught to read and write."

"My daughter-in-law knows." Zhang Wan replied with a smile.

At this time, the waiter brought the soup medicine. Zhang Wan took it personally and sent it to the couch: "Father, it's time to take medicine."

The medicine is only a small bowl, neither hot nor cold, just enough to be swallowed. Liang Feng took it and drank it. Someone next to him immediately presented candied fruit and asked him to clear his mouth.

I chose a candied date to eat in my mouth, suppressing the bitter taste. Liang Feng said again: "Wang Liangdi and Zheng Ruren's side, I'm afraid it's about to come. You can arrange for the midwife to deliver the birth, you don't have to worry too much."

Over the years, the prince has accepted a Liangdi and a second Ruren. Before Zhang Wan gave birth, the two concubines were also found to be pregnant. A few months have passed, and the day is almost here. As the lord of the East Palace, Zhang Wan naturally has to take care of the two of them and fulfill her duty as a wife. However, when it came to Liang Feng's mouth, he didn't have to worry about it. This is obviously biased.

Zhang Wan said softly, "My daughter-in-law will definitely arrange it properly."

Liang Feng glanced at her and sighed softly: "I've finally wronged you. I'll also let Rong'er take care of your mother and son more."

These words warmed Zhang Wan's heart. This is also the place where the Son of Heaven is most different from others. Men all over the world treat wives and concubines in the courtyard as unusual. Only the emperor will miss the grievances of her wife. To be able to dote on one person for more than ten years, even if he is stigmatized, how deep and affectionate is it

However, such people are hard to come by. Liang Rong is already a pretty good husband.

Zhang Wan said in a low voice, "The prince treats his daughter-in-law very well, so why is he wronged? The royal father is too worried."

This is her truth. As early as after the prince accepted the concubine, the Imperial Hospital presented a document. It is said that a few days after the menstrual period, it is not suitable for a woman to conceive. This is very different from what others know. There is also a history in the East Palace. It is not easy to record the menstrual events of several women? If the prince wanted the concubine to be pregnant, he would have been pregnant long ago.

However, until she became pregnant again, in the past three or four years, nothing in the East Palace came out. The prince also took great care of her.

Seeing Zhang Wan's blushing face, she defended Rong'er. Liang Feng smiled and lay back on the couch.

Because the emperor is in better spirits today, Zhang Wan is not busy with tea and water. Instead, he sat aside, chatting and playing chess with him. He stroked the elegant piano again.

After a while, the prince turned back from the Hanging Palace.

"Is your royal father better?" Liang Rong asked as soon as he entered the hall.

"With Awan serving the disease, Zhen is much better." Liang Feng put the credit on Zhang Wan.

Liang Rong glanced at his wife gratefully, and then reported to his father today's political affairs: "Bazhou is going well, and three counties of Hanzhong, Badong and Brazil have been captured. Soon we will be able to encircle Shuzhou. Jingzhou will lose one in Jiangling. field."

The emperor was bedridden, and for the past few days, the morning court was over, and the prince was in the East Hall to supervise the administration of the country. According to common sense, this move may lead to turmoil in the court, but the founding veterans are all there, and the prince has been watching politics for several years, but he has settled the situation steadily and did not delay the frontline battle.

Just this spring, the small court in the south changed again. Wang Dun arrogantly dismissed the talented Jin prince Sima Shao and replaced him with the youngest son Sima Rui. No one dared to speak up. However, it didn't take long for another earthquake to occur in Danyang, Wujun and Jinling. This is the third earthquake since Wang Dun's tomb.

Coupled with two years of severe drought, five plagues of locusts, and one rain and hail, the Eastern Jin Dynasty has lost its appearance. The five grains are expensive, the hungry people are everywhere, and the chaos cannot be dealt with. Therefore, the crown prince Sima Shao urged his father, the emperor, to raise troops to crusade against evil rebels. How could Wang Dun be allowed to be slaughtered? Immediately sent troops from Wuchang to attack Jianye again.

Seeing that Jiang Dong became confused again. Zhao Guo also lined up to attack Bazhou and Jingzhou. Bazhou is the former Liangzhou. In order to avoid the emperor's surname, it was changed to the place name of the pre-Qin period. Yizhou was also changed to Shuzhou. The land of Bashu was conquered by Huan Yi with his troops. The purpose is to pacify the whole territory and surround the Di Ren Li Te who occupies Chengdu. In Jingzhou, Linghu Kuang led the troops and cooperated with the navy to occupy the counties and counties bordering Bazhou.

The hussar general Yi Yan sits in Xiangyang and leads the overall situation.

Now that Bazhou is in a rut, the obstacles on the Jingzhou side are a bit annoying.

Liang Feng frowned: "Who did you lose to?"

"Tao Kan, the prefect of Jingzhou." Liang Rong replied, "However, the loss of troops is not much. If we increase our troops, we will be able to conquer it!"

"Tao Kan..." Liang Feng thought for a moment, then shook his head, "That's it. Withdraw the troops from Jiangling and step up the Jianping County offensive."

Near Jiangling is Yunmengze. Even if it is defeated, it will not be easy to get close to Wuchang County if you want to cross several large lakes. In terms of strategic arrangements, they had no intention of laying down Wuchang. If the persecution of Wang Dun is too tight, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty is urged to put aside the internal strife and fight the enemy in unison, it will be troublesome. Now that I have a small loss, I can push the boat with the current and use it to set up a game.

Liang Rong's reaction was very fast: "Is the father emperor wanting Tao Kan and Wang Dun to fight?"

"Tao Kan is one of the most capable ministers in Jin, how can Wang Dun rest assured?" Liang Feng was very satisfied with his son's intelligence, "Everyone loses, only he wins. If he has the heart to repay the king's kindness, Wang Dun How will it be handled?"

Tao Kan came from a poor family, but he was quite outstanding in both internal affairs and the army. It is also one of the existing famous officials of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The more capable you are, the harder it will be to stand in the midst of civil strife. Whether to take refuge in Wang Dun or be loyal to the monarch and serve the country is really a difficult choice. Now that there are natural and man-made disasters in Jiangdong, the people are struggling to live, and the mainstays will be abolished one by one.

Liang Rong sighed softly: "If such a person can be used by the father and emperor, it would be great."

"When Jiangdong is conquered, you will have your own talents." Liang Feng coughed twice, and then asked about other matters.

Sitting on the brocade couch beside her, Zhang Wan looked at the father and son in front of her with bright eyes. The emperor only started to grow beards in the past two years. Even if he is ill and haggard, he still has the same graceful appearance and unparalleled bearing. The crown prince has long had a short beard under his chin, he is calm and resolute, and his appearance is only slightly inferior to his father. When he is in his 40s, he will definitely be like His Majesty...

This is my husband-in-law. Her chest was bulging, and Zhang Wan stretched out her hand to press her heart slightly. In a low voice, he ordered the maid to send some soup to relieve their fatigue.

"Mao Hong! Mao Hong... If Wang Dun wants this throne, he can tell me. Why would he harm the people of the world?" In the Jianye Palace, Sima Rui was also lying on the bed, his face turning blue.

Director Wang lowered his eyes and did not answer the question. After suppressing Wang Dun for three years, he was no longer able to persuade this powerful cousin.

Seeing that Wang Dao didn't answer, Sima Rui burst into tears: "When you and I were in Langya, how close were you. It was all thanks to Maohong that I was able to ascend the throne. It's a pity that God doesn't care! Shao Er, I have been demoted to I went to Jiaozhou, Xi'er is only four years old, and her mother is from your Langya Wang clan. This child can only be entrusted to you. Maohong, for the sake of your friendship with me, please give me some protection... Kekekeke. "

Then he cried, and Sima Rui coughed piercingly. Looking at his decayed face, Director Wang sighed and knelt on the ground: "I would like to assist the crown prince."

"Good! Good! Good!" Three "good" voices came out, Sima Rui grabbed Director Wang's hand with tears.

Five days later, Sima Rui died. Crown Prince Sima Xi ascended the throne, and Wang Dao was assisted by his widow.

Hearing this news, Wang Dun was furious. However, Zhao Guo had already marched south, and even he would not dare to usurp the throne immediately. Knowing that Tao Kan actually defeated Zhao Jun in Jiangling, he was even more restless. After some deliberation, he removed Tao Kan from the post of governor of Jingzhou and was transferred to Guangzhou. He ordered his younger brother Wang Fu to take charge of the military affairs of Jingzhou. Then he moved the town to Jianye and monitored the court.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Guo did not continue to go south, but turned around and shot down several counties in the east of Jingzhou, and then died. After several months of trepidation, Wang Dun finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his attention to his cousin Wang Dao again.

The author has something to say: Sima Rui originally had a son named Sima Yu. He died early in this era, and his youngest son, Sima Yu, was not born. I won't bump into Liang Yu's name.

Tao Kan is indeed a good general, but the most famous is genetics. He has a great-grandson named Tao Yuanming.
