"So, it's because of me that I'm in this situation?" After a long time, Zhu Di finally reluctantly admitted.

"Isn't it?" I said with a smile.

"But what can I do now? Even if it is a personal expedition, it will not help, the Mongolian department now has a new leader, there is no Timur family heroic and domineering, they are not trying to dominate the industry, from this violation can be seen, just to try some small profits, grab and run, it is impossible to clear for a while, if there is no good defense, it can only be a big trouble for the Ming Dynasty, like a wound, if not governed and let it fester, one day it will affect the overall situation. Zhu Di frowned and said helplessly.

I paused for a while, and then said for a long time, "Your Majesty, you were in trouble that day, and you always couldn't beat Jinan, so you actually fought for four years before you could enter Jinling, may I ask, did you finally defeat Jinan?" ”

Zhu Di was stunned, and said in disbelief, "What do you mean......"

"Jinan, you didn't take it with a gun, you just bypassed it and took down the Jinling Palace directly, and Jinan was self-defeating. Sometimes a problem that can't be solved is not really impossible, but our thinking is too fixed, simplifying into complexity, thinking too much, and ignoring the simplest way. I picked up the tea again, "If I don't drink it again, it will be cold." ”

Zhu Di finally took a sip obediently this time, "Only by moving the capital to Beiping can we defend the territory and govern the country at the same time." ”

I laughed and said, "You can teach." ”

Zhu Di thought for a while, but his face that had just been smiling became dull again, and I asked softly, "What's wrong?" Zhu Di replied, "How can it be so easy to move the capital!" The two of us turned over these two pieces of mouth, and the capital was moved, but if you think about it carefully, where is it so simple? Beiping is not even a grain-producing area near several surrounding cities, once the capital is moved, in addition to the people in our palace, the families of the courtiers, and the population from Mudu, the food to be consumed is a large amount. Besides, if we move to Beiping in order to control the border, we will inevitably have to raise a large number of soldiers, so many people, what do we rely on for food? ”

"Where's Caoyun?" After listening to Zhu Di's analysis, I was also worried.

Zhu Di shook his head again, sighed and said, "The river is impassable, the canal is blocked, the river is diverted, these problems left by the emperor have not been solved, and it is impossible to achieve Caoyun." When the first emperor and his old man were fighting, they needed to mobilize military rations from the south to Liaodong and Beiping, but the river transportation was not passable, so they had to take the sea route and transport it through the Bohai Sea. It was the fuse of the demise of the Northern Yuan Dynasty because of the control of the river. If it costs too much and shakes the foundation of the country, it will be like Emperor Yang of Sui who did not build the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the final result will be self-destruction. ”

"There is another way, and that is the military tun. Our generals, except for the elite divisions, naturally have to go to the battlefield to serve in times of war, but in the peaceful and prosperous times, they also go to grow food, so that they have both reserve troops and reserve food. I thought about it and said.

Zhu Di nodded, "This is the only way." In any case, the relocation of the capital is still an earth-shattering event, let me think about it carefully, and then consult with the ministers before I can try to plan a specific approach. ”

I smiled and said, "Of course, where is the reason why you say you want to move the capital today and move there tomorrow?" It's just that ordinary people move home, and they have to pick a good day and an auspicious day, right? For now, your task is to quickly find a suitable person to garrison Beiping. ”

Zhu Di stood up and rubbed his eyes, "I've been sitting for a long time, I'm very tired, let's go sit with you." ”

I hurriedly helped him, "Okay, when I left, the small kitchen was stewed with tender chicken and bamboo shoot soup, and your favorite mare's milk wine and naan were prepared." ”

Zhu Di salivated, "You still know me best, I haven't eaten naan for a long time, and when you say this, you're actually a little greedy." ”

I laughed and said, "The king of a country, instead of thinking about the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but thinking about a cup of mare's milk wine and a few pieces of naan in the bitter cold land of the north, spread out, I am afraid that people will laugh at our Ming Dynasty is poor." ”

Zhu Di pinched my cheeks, "Say you're fat, you're panting, are you really just gluttonous?" I found an Xinglin Holy Hand from Xuancheng and asked him to take a look for you. ”

My face was a little red, "I'm favored by you, and I'm always not pregnant, I'm afraid that people inside and outside the palace don't know how much gossip they say, right?" In the future, you should go to other palaces more often. ”

Zhu Di slapped me on the buttocks, "If you are disobedient, you will start talking nonsense again, and no one will dare to say that you don't say a word." It's me who is anxious in my heart, what the royal family needs is an heir, but what I need is you and my blood. ”

I was silent and let Zhu Di lead me back to Lianyi Palace. It seems that Zhu Di came prepared, and when he arrived in the palace, he saw an old man with white hair and a large beard waiting, which must be the holy hand of the apricot forest in Zhu Di's mouth. As soon as we entered the door, Bao'er had already led him to kneel together, Zhu Di smiled and asked him to calm down, and said very kindly, "Mr. Hou, do you remember me?" ”

The old man, who was called Mr. Hou by Zhu Di, raised his head and said indifferently, "The emperor cooed in my hands back then, and now he is so promising, if Concubine Niangniang is still there, I don't know how to be happy." ”

Zhu Di's face remained unchanged, and he turned back to me with a smile and said, "This is Mr. Hou, and he personally delivered the baby back then." ”

My face was full of surprise, I didn't know what to say, I just watched Zhu Di laugh. Zhu Di smiled and said to Mr. Hou, "This is my Concubine Lian, I invited Mr. Hou thousands of miles away today, just to let Mr. Hou take a look for her." As he spoke, he whispered in my ear, "Mr. Hou is a well-known gynecological expert in Anhui, and he sees women infertility or other diseases best." If you have any problems, tell him today, and it may be more effective to prescribe the right medicine. ”

I nodded slightly. Bao'er had already taken a piece of Luopa and put it on my wrist, and asked Mr. Hou to call the pulse for me, the old man passed through Luopa, closed his eyes, kept changing his fingering, and put half a cup of tea on my wrist, his face remained unchanged, and he couldn't see any thoughts. I looked at Zhu Di a little nervously, Zhu Di reached out and shook my other free hand, nodded very firmly to comfort me.

Mr. Hou finally opened his eyes that were not muddy, and looked at my face for a while, I was about to open my mouth to tell him that I had been seriously injured, but he waved his hand, "Niangniang, don't speak, wait for the old body to say, listen to what the old body says can be compared with the symptoms of the old body, and then decide whether to believe the old body's words or not, do you think it's okay?" ”

Zhu Di smiled, "Mr. Hou is a master of art and boldness, you can listen to him." I looked at Mr. Hou with a smile and waited for him to narrate.

He squinted his eyes, touched his beard, shook his head slightly, and said, "Although Niangniang's pulse is stable, but weak, I think my body must have been seriously injured, more than once, for some reason at that time, it was not well adjusted, so that now the qi and blood are insufficient, and when it rains in the change of seasons, my chest will hurt, I don't know if what the old body said is right?" ”

Zhu Di looked at me and smiled, and I also wondered, "What Mr. Hou said is not bad at all, it is really a god." ”

Mr. Hou shook his head, "It's not about gods, it's just that I've seen too much, and the so-called practice makes perfect." Looking at the decoration of the Niangniang Palace, the emperor personally summoned the old body to come, it can be seen that the mother is favored by the emperor, but the mother is not pregnant, she must be in a hurry, right? ”

Zhu Di laughed out loud, "Mr. Hou not only looks at the kung fu champion of Wenwen and asks, but also observes words and looks, and he is not bad at what he says." I just want you to think of a way for her, how can I take care of my body and give birth to a prince for me? ”

Mr. Hou frowned, "Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and a lost body can't be recuperated in a day or two." ”

Zhu Di hurriedly said, "What do you mean by what Mr. said?" Is there no way out? ”

"It's not that there is no way, but it depends on whether the emperor wants the prince more or the concubine is more healthy. No matter how weak the concubine's body is, after all, she is a woman, heaven and earth have the virtue of good life, and the creation and birth of both men and women are in order to reproduce, men are responsible for standing up to the sky and the earth, and women are responsible for raising children and daughters, as long as they are women, they have the ability and right to give birth to children, and the same is true for Niangniang. ”

I couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by that, sir?" Can I conceive or can't? ”

Mr. Hou smiled kindly, "Niangniang don't worry, listen to me." Although Niangniang's body is injured and her vitality is damaged, she is not injured in the women's palace, as long as she recupers for a period of time, it is not difficult to conceive. ”

"Really?" I squeezed Zhu Di's hand tightly and looked at Mr. Hou expectantly.

Mr. Hou nodded and smiled, "Of course." Just ......"

Zhu Di was also very excited when he heard that I could have a child, and hurriedly said, "You say, you say, as long as you can have a child, everything is okay." ”

Mr. Hou glanced at me and sighed, "After all, the injury on Niangniang's body has really suffered, and it has dragged on for many years, and the lesions that have formed have swallowed up too much of Niangniang's essence, and it is basically hopeless to recover completely." If the mother is forcibly pregnant, the pregnancy in October is extremely hard, and the embryo must absorb more of the essence of the mother's growth. ”

Zhu Di listened to Mr. Hou's words, frowned, silent, my face was pale, I covered my chest, I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart, and tears couldn't help but flow. Seeing this, Zhu Di hurriedly took Mr. Hou out and talked in detail in the outer hall. <
