Empress Dowager Xiao said with a smile: "Brother An is saying that he is going to the battlefield to help the prince's brother." The mourning family is praising him for his ambition, and he knows how to kill the enemy at a young age. ”

Concubine Shi Defei heard it in her ears, and the Luo Pa in her hand was about to be torn in half by her. Prince An is so young, what does he know! It's not that Concubine Fu Xian is cunning, and taught him these words to make the Queen Mother happy.

Seeing the looks of the two concubines, Queen Cao had no intention of calming the open and secret struggle between the two of them. turned to look at the young Prince An and beckoned him to come to him.

In theory, Empress Cao is his mother-in-law. It's just that she raised her own son-in-law and daughter-in-law, and her whole mind is on the current prince, and she is trying her best to plan for him.

Now that the emperor's lifespan is limited, Prince An may be his last prince.

Such a young child is really not a threat to Queen Cao. also put him in the palace of Concubine Fu Xian, and he is not usually seen.

Prince An and her are not very familiar with each other.

Seeing her summoning her at this time, Prince An glanced at Concubine Fu Xian. Seeing that the concubine nodded at him, he jumped off the stool, walked to Queen Cao with her short legs, and walked majestically to Queen Cao.

"I've seen the queen mother!" in his loud voice, with the unique softness of a child, extremely cute.

"Brother An has this ambition, and the queen mother will be rewarded!" Empress Cao hadn't dealt with such a young child for a long time, and looking at him seemed to see the prince's childhood.

"What do you want?" Empress Cao asked, holding him halfway in her arms.

Prince An tilted his head and thought for a long time, and asked, "Whatever I want, can the queen mother reward me?"

He spoke childishly, but Concubine Fu Xian was afraid that Queen Cao would be unhappy, so she hurriedly said: "That's nature, the queen is the mother of the world, what do you want." ”

Empress Cao smiled and nodded, Concubine Fu Xian wanted to win over her relationship, and she had no intention of making enemies with her.

"The child doesn't want anything, just a younger brother who can play with the child. Prince An's crisp words echoed in the hall.

He is the youngest in the palace today. There are only two princesses on it, and I can't find a playmate of the same age. For small children, it is really lonely.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was silent for a long time. They all knew that he might never be able to fulfill his wish.

Thinking of Emperor Qinglong's current body, Empress Dowager Xiao turned her head and pressed the corner of her eye with a handkerchief.

"What's wrong?" Feeling this unusual silence, Prince An was a little scared in his heart, "Queen Mother, did I say something wrong and make you unhappy?"

"No, no, no. Empress Cao hurriedly denied it and comforted him. But if you can't meet the requirements put forward by Prince An, this will be too powerless.

Princess Chunhe on the side looked a little unbearable, this half-brother, under the care of the mother, was as proud as a proud little rooster, cute and tight. I really couldn't bear to see him struck.

"The Queen Mother. Princess Chunhe proposed: "In two years, the royal brother should also be enlightened." It's better to choose a few companions to enter the palace and study together. ”

It's a good idea. In the previous dynasty, the descendants of the ministers of the court and the central government were all proud to be able to enter the palace to accompany them. In this way, the prince and the ministers can deepen their understanding, and they will cooperate more tacitly in the future.

It's just that since the founding of the Gaomang Dynasty, there have only been two generations. Emperor Qinglong is the crown prince who accompanied the first emperor to fight the country, and the children born to Empress Cao also grew up in the palace, and the palace also formed this convention.

Prince An's future is almost set, and when he becomes an adult, the crown prince will already ascend the throne as the emperor, and he just needs to be a rich prince.

At present, Emperor Qinglong has just cleaned the court situation, and summoning the descendants of courtiers and nobles into the palace to accompany them can also stabilize people's hearts.

Princess Chunhe couldn't bear her younger brother to be lonely and came up with an idea, but Empress Dowager Xiao and Empress Cao looked at each other and smiled, and they both figured out the benefits behind this.

Empress Cao looked at Prince An in her arms and said with a smile: "Even if the mother concubine wants to give you a younger brother, she won't have time to play with you." ”

"It's better to summon a few children into the palace. Would it be better to play with you now and go to school with you in the future?"

Prince An's eyes lit up when he heard this, he just asked for a younger brother, but he had a few more playmates. nodded heavily, and then said uneasily: "I want a boy, boy!"

The girl is not funny at all, and the two older sisters he likes are not interested.

Everyone was amused by him, and even the Empress Dowager Xiao laughed and said, "Okay, I'll help you supervise the queen, and I'll definitely find you a boy." ”

……

This day is not only in the palace, but also in Luoyang City, where there is joy everywhere, as if the New Year has been celebrated in advance.

Unlike the Tibetan War a few years ago, Tibet is far away and alien. Although everyone in Beijing is concerned, it is really difficult to empathize.

This time, it was the Bajia army that made a rebellion, which really threatened the safety of the capital. Another major case of Guan Jinghuan's conspiracy against the United States broke out, suppressing the air in Beijing to a very low point.

Therefore, this great victory made everyone feel extraordinarily valuable.

However, the discrepancy between the military situation before and after, although the people in the city did not see anything wrong, in the courtyard of the deep house, some people shuddered.

Among them, Prime Minister Zhu Zihou can be regarded as one.

Since he learned the news in the morning, he locked himself in the study and did not leave for a single step, and even brought lunch to him.

The family is very puzzled by this, what is wrong with him?

Only he knew the real fear in his heart. The news of this great victory in the north came too coincidentally, and according to his experience in officialdom for many years, all coincidences were artificial.

He didn't believe it, this news happened to be at this time, not sooner or later?

If one day earlier, the emperor wants to cut off the family and wait for peace and peace, and wait for Changping, it will inevitably cause all officials to write.

He can also think of the content of the excerpt with his eyes closed, it is nothing more than hard work, there is no merit and hard work, and the emperor should be generous and benevolent. Of course, there are also quotations from scriptures, and it is necessary to persuade Emperor Qinglong to put down the butcher's knife.

Only in troubled times can heavy canons be used, and in such a rumor, Emperor Qinglong disposed of these families cleanly, and no one dared to question it.

If it's a day late. The long-suppressed emotions in Jingzhong are afraid that they will explode. Panic in people's hearts is easily contagious, and the people who used to be docile will turn into mobs when they turn their heads.

Sending troops to suppress the pressure is another tragic situation of rivers of blood, and the capital will become more and more depressed.

However, the only person who can control this news so well, Zhu Zihou analyzes and analyzes it, and only Emperor Qinglong in the deep palace.

He shuddered deeply, it was obvious that the emperor was paving the way for the crown prince to ascend the throne.

Then, he, an old minister, should also be interesting.

It seems that the emperor is going to start to establish a court and political team to assist the crown prince. He planned to go to the book tomorrow to beg for bones and obey Emperor Qinglong's arrangement.
