"The terrain in the south of the Yangtze River is flat, and the Huainan area is basically safe to defend. This is a credit for nothing!" The fourth prince paced in the Fengyi Palace, "Mother, I will definitely get the commander position in the attack on Huainan this time!"
Afterwards, he nodded. Now that Jing Yu is about to reach adulthood, he must quickly make him meritorious and make him the king in time: "If I had known that Dongnan was so easy to fight, I should have let you go." Listening to Emperor Hongzheng, the king of Dongnan was himself. Unfortunately, he was killed by his concubine, and Jing Shao won the Southeast without any effort at all.
Here, the two people in Fengyi Palace were excited, for fear that others would take the lead, and the atmosphere in the Beiweihou Mansion was also tense.
"What's the matter?" Mu Hanzhang hurried in and asked his father who was sitting beside him.
Beiwei Hou frowned, but his eyes were full of hope: "Maybe it will be soon."
Mu Hanzhang watched the girl go in and out in a hurry, listened to the pain that overflowed from time to time in the inner room, and clasped his hands together, but he didn't know what to do.
"Don't be afraid," Jing Shao, who had to follow him, saw that his princess was so nervous, and hurriedly walked over to hug him, "I heard that the second child went well, and it didn't take a little effort when my mother gave birth to me."
Mu Hanzhang glanced at him: "How do you know?"
"Everyone in the palace said this. It is said that the doctor Wen Po had just entered and heard my cry within a quarter of an hour," Jing Shao said proudly.
"The prince must have been very thin when he was a child." The third lady who came to join in the fun couldn't help but interject when she heard the words.
Mu Hanzhang glanced at the third aunt who was smiling, and then at Jingshao.
Jing Shao didn't seem to have heard the third lady's words at all, and continued to tease his own princess: "So the emperor said that I am a lucky star, and it will definitely make the weather in Dachen go well."
Ninety percent of Xiao Shao has Feng Laiyi. Maybe the young Hongzheng Emperor really liked this son, Mu Hanzhang thought in a trance, it was hard to imagine that Jingshao would be thin and small when he was a child: "Then what did you look like when you were a child?"
"I was fat when I was young." Jing Shao puffed up her cheeks, trying to look like she was fat.
"Haha..." Mu Hanzhang was finally amused by him, reaching out and poking his bulging face, the top-heavy nervousness disappeared.
The third lady was put aside embarrassedly, and sat back embarrassedly.
After waiting anxiously for a long time, Jing Shao was afraid that his princess would be tired from standing, so he hugged him and leaned on him. It was the first time that Mu Hanzhang didn't refuse the intimate behavior outside. Even if he wasn't so nervous, he still couldn't help but be afraid in his heart. When a woman gives birth to a child, she walks through the gates of hell, and he can't imagine what to do if his mother has some problems. The steady arms around his waist and the warm chest against his back gave him great courage, as if the sky was falling and he didn't have to worry.
"Guwaguwa..." A crisp cry cut through the silence of the room, Beiwei Houzo stood up from his seat, but he couldn't go in, and only paced back and forth in front of the inner room door.
Granny Wen walked out with a happy face: "Congratulations to Hou Ye, you are a young master!"
"Really!" Mu Jin seemed to be a few years younger all of a sudden, with an irresistible smile on his usually calm face.
Jing Shao patted the excited person in his arms and asked, "Is Mrs. Side okay?"
"Madam is all right," Madam Wen hurriedly said, "Thanks to the conditioning for the past six months, Madam is in good health."
Mu Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, and only now did a smile appear on his face. When others were not paying attention, Jing Shao quickly kissed the corner of the curved mouth.
After a while, Granny Wen went in and carried the clean baby out. Mu Jin excitedly took the soft quilt, and Fu Jingshao also leaned over to look curiously. Her little face was wrinkled into a ball, her skin was red, her eyes were closed, and she couldn't tell what she looked like, but the third lady exclaimed loudly: "This looks so handsome, exactly the same as when Hanzhang was a child!"
When Mrs. Beiweihou heard that she was a son, her face became gloomy. Now, when she heard the words of the third lady, her face became even more ugly.
Jing Shao stared at the freshly-baked brother-in-law for a long time, but he didn't see any resemblance to his own princess. The wrinkled face looked like Defu's steamed bun, but he didn't dare to say it.
Mu Hanzhang glanced at Mrs. Beiweihou, who had not yet opened her mouth to reward her servants, and said with a smile, "Father hasn't named his brother yet."
"It's called Dragon Scale! Hahaha..." Mu Jin lifted his young son up and looked at it, how satisfied he was.
The last of the nine treasures, "Lingmo Sword One, called Dragon Scale".
Mu Hanzhang nodded. When he grows up, the word "Ling Mo" can be used as the word. It is also elegant and pleasant, but the dragon scales are a little stiff, so they will be called scales later.
The servants all reacted when they heard it, and came forward to congratulate them. The North Wei Hou said happily: "Reward! Each person will be rewarded with five taels of silver!"
"Thank you, Marquis for the reward!" The servants immediately smiled happily. Usually, when adding people to the mansion, the young lady gave one tael and the young master two taels. Sure enough, this young master was the most favored.
When Mrs. Beiweihou heard this, she almost tore the veil in her hand. She just deliberately delayed it for a while, so that the servants could see who was the mistress of the house. Who would have expected Beiweihou to speak first, and the men of the Mu family simply did not I don't know how the Fuchu reward is given at this time!
Mu Hanzhang calmly glanced at Mrs. Beiweihou, thinking that when he went to Jiangnan in a few days, he had to keep Ge Ruoyi here to take care of Lin'er.
On the way back, Mu Hanzhang always had a smile on his face.
"If you don't want Lin'er to attack the Marquis of Northern Wei, you can actually let him inherit your title." Seeing him so happy, Jing Shao also rolled his eyes.
"How can that be done, Marquis Wen Yuan is not a hereditary replacement." Mu Hanzhang shook his head. His younger brother was just born, so it's not certain what path he will take in the future. It's too early to say, as long as he can grow up safely. it is good.
The joy of Beiwei Hou's mansion obviously could not spread to the court. The next day, when Mu Hanzhang entered the palace gate, he immediately covered the smile on his face and walked in calmly.
"Father, my son is willing to go!" When it came to attacking Jiangnan, the fourth prince couldn't wait to stand up.
"Although Huainan is not as vast as the southwest, it is better than the fertile land," the Minister of War said with a frown, "The King of Huainan has accumulated over several generations and is well equipped, so I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with."
"Then in the meaning of Sun Shangshu, who should I send?" Emperor Hongzheng's eyes were deep, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"This minister believes that the Huainan fief is extremely important, and for the sake of safety, I should send King Cheng there." The Minister of War said calmly.
"The minister believes that although the fourth prince is young, he is calm and decisive, worthy of a great responsibility, and there is nothing wrong with sending the fourth prince there." The minister of punishment said.
Mu Hanzhang glanced at Jingchen calmly, and continued to lower his eyes without saying a word.
"The fourth prince is about to come of age, and he should practice it himself. According to the opinion of the ministers, this Huainan Rebellion is a good opportunity!" The talkative Yongchangbo was thrown into Yunnan and Tibet, and the Duke of Mao had to speak in person, using his It doesn't seem abrupt for the identity to say these words.
For a while, there was a dispute in the courtroom, and Emperor Hongzheng remained silent. When the time was almost up, he got up and said, "This is the end of today, and we will discuss this matter tomorrow." After speaking, he threw his sleeves and left.
Everyone couldn't guess what Emperor Hongzheng meant for a while. It took so many days for the Jiangnan incident to come back, and the emperor did not see Cheng Wang's foot ban, so everyone guessed whether he would not interrupt Yong Cheng Wang this time, but today's situation , does not seem to intend to send the fourth prince to go.
"Isn't the emperor waiting for King Cheng to admit his mistake?" After leaving the hall, the two officials whispered.
"What did King Cheng do wrong?" Another frowned.
"I heard that it was a stubborn temper, and he contradicted the emperor." The speaker looked around, "In my opinion, the emperor still prefers to be king, and today the four princes have said that, but I didn't get a word of truth. ."
The fourth prince, who was passing by on the high platform, heard the discussion below, and could not help clenching his fists, turned around and walked towards Fengyi Palace.
Mu Hanzhang and Jingchen looked at each other and turned away tacitly.
"Hanzhang, do you want to go back with your father to see your younger brother?" Beiweihou was still immersed in the joy of having an old man.
"Father." Mu Hanzhang responded and gave him a wink.
The Duke of Beiwei realized that he had lost his way, and hurriedly suppressed his smile: "This is the errand of attacking Huainan, what does the lord mean."
Mu Hanzhang sighed: "Your Highness was in a hurry in the mansion, so I hope that this excuse can be used to lift the ban."
Several officials who passed by listened, looked at each other, and when Beiweihou looked up, they hurriedly bowed their heads and left.
That night, Emperor Hongzheng stayed in Fengyi Palace.
"Your Majesty, Yu'er is about to become an adult, but she hasn't done much. Both brothers have been crowned kings, so it's time to give him a chance to practice." Afterwards, he carefully served Emperor Hongzheng and took off his coat, thinking of his son today. With a look of exasperation, he couldn't help frowning secretly. Jing Yu took this matter too seriously, maybe the emperor didn't let go because he didn't like his anxious look.
"Feng Wang?" Emperor Hongzheng glanced at his successor, "Isn't Jing Rong still sealed? What's the hurry?"
Can that be the same? The queen gritted her teeth secretly, still smiling softly on her face: "Jing Yu is the heir apparent. Although the elders and children are orderly, there are differences between the descendants after all."
When Emperor Hongzheng heard the words, his face immediately turned cold: "What is the difference between the descendants?"
The queen was startled, is it wrong? Suddenly, a flash in his mind, and a cold sweat broke out: "The royal family doesn't take this seriously, and the concubine made a blunder."
Emperor Hongzheng himself was not from the empress. He hated the difference between the concubines and the concubines. He glanced coldly at the successor who lowered his head. When the empress Yuan was there, no matter who the concubines were, they were treated the same.
"My concubine just thinks that King Cheng has broken two vassals in a row, and he was quite complacent when he came back. Now he dares to contradict the emperor. If he is released because of the war, I'm afraid..." Afterwards, he took a careful look at Emperor Hongzheng's words. The expression, did not finish the words, but the meaning of the words can be heard by anyone.
This time, Emperor Hongzheng didn't say anything. He just looked at the back for a few times, turned around and walked to the bed: "If Jing Yu wants to fight, let him come over tomorrow morning and tell me in person."
After that, his eyes lit up, he responded, and he hurriedly called someone to tell the Fourth Prince that he should come to the Fengyi Palace to wait before tomorrow morning, and instructed the chief eunuch to open the door for him.
"I heard that there was a letter from the palace last night, asking the fourth prince to go to Fengyi Palace before dawn," Mu Hanzhang said to Jing Shao while tying the belt of his middle coat, turning to look at him, his face blushed suddenly , "You, you should wear some clothes."
When the weather was hot, Jing Shao got out of bed to help his princess get dressed. There was no one else around, so he walked the birds naked. Seeing Jun Qing's handsome face, he couldn't help but say proudly, "Shy, it's not like you haven't seen it before."
