When it comes to the topic of heirs, the women's words will not be broken. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chang Runzhi sat on the side with a smile and listened to what they said, reaching out from time to time to tease his little nephew.

This little doll is very funny, and the same way of teasing can tease him for a while. He wasn't angry, and when the routine he had seen before appeared, he giggled and revealed the pink gums, and the white dots on the gums showed that he was starting to teeth.

The nurse would come from time to time to wipe his saliva, and his gums were itchy at this moment, and he wanted to stuff something into his mouth.

Chang Runzhi couldn't help but start imagining what it would be like when his child was born and Rui'er was so old......

This trip back to her parents' house made Chang Runzhi very satisfied, and even the old lady, who had always behaved, rarely showed a smile on her face, and said a few more words to her.

The next days were a little dull and ordinary, Liu Tong really stayed by Chang Runzhi's side, and he went wherever Chang Runzhi went.

Probably because of more experience, people have become calm and introverted, and when talking to Chang Runzhi, Liu Tong gradually lost the time when he was a little out of touch and shyness in the past.

What's more, he will talk to Chang Runzhi about interesting things when he was on errands, and he will also pick up some jokes and humorous stories that he has heard and tell Chang Runzhi.

Among them, there are more jokes from Yao Chengxi's mouth.

After the opening of the Westbound Society, Liu Tong also went to see it twice and thought it was good.

Because Chang Runzhi's belly was big, she didn't go to see it after the new program list came out, and after Liu Tong went to watch it, she came back and relayed it to Chang Runzhi, but she also said it vividly.

The couple also calculated the income and expenses reported by the manager of the Westbound Club together, and they both smiled from ear to ear when they looked at the number in the surplus column.

Maybe this little bit of silver is nothing in the eyes of dignitaries, but for Liu Tong, this is the first time he has figured out how to make money after he has figured out the affairs of the Western Regions, and the money he earned is innocent and clean, even if it is a penny, it is a recognition and reward for his efforts in the early stage.

What's more, Chang Runzhi also praised him for making good use of talents and making proper arrangements.

Although Liu Tongren is calm, he is still proud and embarrassed by his wife's praise for him.

This break, Liu Tong rested until winter.

The day of Chang Run's delivery is also near.

Chang Runzhi himself also counted the delivery period, and when he was still half a month away from giving birth, he began to insist on walking for a while more every day, and he began to pay more attention to eating.

It's winter at this time, and there are not many fresh fruits and vegetables, but Chang Runzhi prefers to eat these two types of food, saying that he wants to raise his children to be white and tender.

Liu Tong relied on her for everything, and specially arranged for people to receive the vegetables and fruits delivered from the hot spring Zhuangzi every day, all of which were based on the needs of Chang Runzhi.

When King Rui and his wife came to their place, they saw that Liu Tong was meticulous to Chang Runzhi, and she couldn't help but shake her head when she said that Liu Tong would listen to anything.

Princess Rui felt that it was rare for Liu Tong to love his wife and children like this, and shook her head to laugh out of kindness.

And King Rui had some complaints about Liu Tong's move, and it was inevitable that Liu Tong was a little sluggish, and he was even more suspicious in his heart - the ninth brother and sister looked soft and weak on the surface, but she was smart, and it was difficult to say that in daily life, it was not she who suppressed the ninth brother.

King Rui muttered like this in his heart, but he didn't pay attention to it.

As long as Xiao Jiu can distinguish the importance when doing things, in terms of personal feelings, even if he has been spoiling the nine brothers and sisters, it doesn't matter.

Chang Muzhi knew that King Rui was looking for Liu Tong to say something, and after greeting Liu Tong, he helped Chang Runzhi to rest and talk.

Liu Tong invited King Rui to the study to talk about things.

"The magistrates who returned to Beijing to report on their work this year have almost arrived in Beijing one after another." King Rui poured tea and said, "I still remember that the year before last, Qin Tianjian said that in the next three years, the wind and rain in the Great Wei will be smooth, and the situation over there in Yanbei Pass will be much better...... Last year it was, and this year ......"

Liu Tong's face was pale: "Did the fifth brother receive any news?" Xianbei people are ready to move again? ”

King Rui bowed his head and said: "Yanbei Pass will also change its guard this year, it is said that there have been two fights over there." Although it is a small fight, it is difficult to guarantee that it is not a sign of war. ”

Liu Tong's expression was slightly condensed, and he sat upright.

King Rui slowly took a sip of tea and sighed slightly: "If there is really a war, the military department must pay attention to it." Since my father integrated the power of the military department into his own hands, for more than a year or two, the military department seems to have avoided our sight. I don't know ...... this time."

Liu Tong inhaled slowly: "Will my father hand over the power of the military department to the crown prince?" ”

Rui Wang smiled when he heard this: "Mostly." ”

He sighed: "We have been idle for three months. In the past three months, you also know the things in the court. On the side of Hanlin, the prince attracted a number of scholars, and also wrote poems and framed calligraphy and paintings, and talked with people about the scriptures, so that people called him a 'virtuous' character; on the side of the emperor's ancestors, the prince also made friends with several old princes, and talked to them about ancient ...... Regardless of whether these people who seem to be biased towards him on the surface are sincere, or because of the face of their father and the crown prince, in the end, in this way, King Qi and King Li rely on less. ”

King Rui laughed at himself: "Look at me and King Cen again, it is equivalent to being locked up in the cold palace by my father." ”

"Oh yes, there is also a king Zhu who is recuperating in the mansion." King Rui shook his head and said: "I wish the king is abolished, and now he is on the side of the prince." ”

Liu Tong listened silently, no longer as before, and stood up excitedly and indignantly to express his dissatisfaction.

After King Rui finished speaking, he said: "What does the fifth brother mean, from all indications, the prince is encroaching on the power of the original King Qi and others little by little, and since the father and emperor also see that he has no other plans in his eyes, then he is probably paving the way for the prince?" Therefore, if this time he takes advantage of the matter of Yanbei Pass to provoke the issue of the rights and responsibilities of the military department, it will most likely be handed over to the prince to deal with? ”

King Rui bowed his head and glanced at Liu Tong appreciatively: "Xiao Jiu is becoming more and more calm." ”

Liu Tong did not show a happy or smug expression because of this, but his expression became more solemn.

"Fifth brother, what are you going to do?" Liu Tong asked.

King Rui smiled lightly, his eyes fixed on the tea cup, and he was silent for a long time.

After a long time, King Rui said: "If my father wants to cut our power, we can't do anything, after all, the prince is orthodox, even if he is allowed to supervise the country and exercise imperial power, as long as his father is willing, no one can stop him." It's just that the vision of the father is very easy to understand, but I hope that the country will be permanent and the brothers will be harmonious. But the crown prince ...... But it's hard to be reassured. ”

King Rui looked at Liu Tong: "If the prince just wants to seize power and wealth, then it's okay." I'm afraid, he's too small-minded and vindictive. In the past, although I had no intention of offending him, I did offend him a lot, and once he tasted the taste of supreme power, I am afraid that he would lose it. I'm always a threat to him. ”

Liu Tong carefully understood the meaning of King Rui's words, even if he was calm, he would inevitably stand up in shock: "Fifth brother is saying that he is afraid that the prince will treat you...... Take action?! (To be continued.) )
