Since they got married, the king of Qin and the princess have been getting up and sleeping together every day, stroking the qin and writing poems, which is really a good pair of fairy couples. The king of Qin not only did not ask about the affairs of the court and China, but sometimes lied that he was ill and would not even go to the court, and he would grind with the princess at home every day, drinking and having fun. Such words spread ten times to hundreds, and reached the ears of Ye Zhen's biological mother, Concubine Chen, who summoned her daughter-in-law and asked if the rumors were true.

Li Moxin didn't think about it and said: "Erchen doesn't want to be that ruthless and desireless immortal. ”

Concubine Chen laughed and asked her, "What do you think a person like you would call you in the palace?" Seeing that she frowned and was puzzled, she smiled and said, "Fox Meizi." ”

When Li Moxin heard this, not only was he not unhappy, but asked with a smile: "Is it good or bad that my aunt said?" ”

Concubine Chen raised her eyes and looked out the window, the locust leaves in the courtyard had fallen, as if it was late autumn. "I just want you to spend this life safely, and don't force the rest."

She raised her eyes to look at her mother-in-law with a solemn face, her heart became more determined, she got up and knelt down, bowing her head. "The Li family swears to be loyal to the prince, and the sons and daughters swear to protect the prince!"

Concubine Chen looked at her daughter-in-law kneeling on the ground, her face did not look relaxed because of her words, but became heavier. Rise and fall, glory and disgrace, and eventually turn into ashes, what are you fighting for?

Soon after, Princess Qin was diagnosed with a happy pulse, and the new father King Qin went around to say goodbye and came to the third brother Ye Zhen's mansion, Ye Zhen mocked: "I thought you were so fascinated that you no longer knew the road of the Han Palace!" ”

Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Where is the third brother, I am ......"

"You are? You're a wine lover! That's not what I said, it's all spread out there. Ye Zhen looked at his younger brother with hatred.

"Do you believe the rumors outside, do you believe it?" He suddenly changed his expression and looked at his brother, "Everyone in the world says that Xiucai knows the world without going out, and the third brother thinks that I am not as good as a Xiucai?" ”

"What can you know if you are so confused by women?" Ye Zhen looked at him suspiciously.

Ye Zhen didn't care about Ye Zhen's ridicule, and whispered to him: "The second brother made friends with the minister privately, put people into baskets, and sent them out of the back door at midnight, do you know about this?" ”

Ye Zhen glared and listened, his father hated the prince the most for making friends with ministers in private, and the eighth brother was driven back to the fiefdom not long ago, but he didn't expect Ye Hua to dare to commit a crime against the wind. "How did you find out?"

Ye Zhen smiled, "The third brother helped me ask for a good family matter, how can I not repay it?" No matter how incompetent the younger brother is, he still has the ability to listen to the news. ”

Ye Zhen couldn't help but be overjoyed, and praised his younger brother for being smart. "I'm going to tell my father and see how long he Ye Hua can be arrogant!"

When he got home, it was a little later than usual. When she asked him why he had come back so late, he smiled and said, "My father-in-law is so happy that he left me for dinner and met a guest." ”

Li Moxin loosened his clothes for him, frowned and thought about it, met a guest? "That guest's surname is Zhu, right?"

Ye Zhen looked back at her, this person was not as simple as he thought. But left and right thoughts, Li Jingshen's daughter, is she a mediocre person?

And just as Li Moxin expected, Li Jingshen built a bridge between Ye Zhen and Zhu Min, so that Ye Zhen could better grasp his father's meaning, as well as the support of Zhu Min, and even the support of important ministers in the court.

Only three days later, Ye Hua was punished for making friends with ministers without permission, his wings were cut, and his power plummeted. And Ye Zhen stabbed his brother behind his back, can the emperor not know? The left and right are just killing each other for the position of the prince, what kind of good thing can it be? happened to be bitten back by Ye Hua again, saying that he was secretly monitoring the prince and had bad intentions. The emperor pushed the boat down the river and belittled the ministers around him, and even his mother was implicated and reprimanded, saying that he would not be called.

Ye Xin's eccentricity was seen in everyone's eyes, and for a while, the princes who had ghosts in their hearts were all silent, for fear that they would be driven back to the fiefdom against their father's will if they accidentally went against their father's wishes, and there was no possibility of succession.

"The third brother's wings are not plump, but this time he was cut, and his power was greatly injured, and I am afraid that he will not have the ability to turn over." Ye Zhen picked his father-in-law's white son and said lightly.

Li Jing sighed deeply, obviously unhappy that he was being picked, "His qualifications are mediocre, besides, looking at the situation this time, His Majesty can listen to King Han's one-sided words, I'm afraid he doesn't have the intention of setting up him at all." Saying that, he also picked a son-in-law and a son to keep one side.

"No one can guess what my father is thinking." He sighed and blocked his father-in-law's path.

"Your Majesty was originally born out of the Nine Dragons to seize the heir, and I'm afraid I don't want to see flesh and blood kill each other. His Majesty will not tolerate anyone who puts his brother to death. Seeing that the general trend had gone, Li Jingshen simply couldn't stop, put the sunspot into his son-in-law's chess box, got up and walked outside the door to look at the flying snow.

Ye Zhen followed behind his father-in-law, looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky, and said in a deep tone: "But the battle for the heir is not something that my father doesn't want to see. Now those who are expected to inherit the unification are still the kings of Jin, Qi, Yan, Wei and their sons-in-law in Beijing, and everyone who remains should not be underestimated. ”

"Do you know about the peasant rebellion in Shandong?" He suddenly asked Ye Zhen as if he remembered something.

"Yes."

"The King of Jin is asking the Holy Lord to make meritorious service and quell the riot."

"Have you ever said yes?"

Li Jingshen shook his head, "There is no clear reply, this time it should be the time for His Royal Highness to make meritorious contributions, Taoguang has enough time to cultivate obscurity, don't let outsiders really think that you are an idle and useless person." ”

"Son-in-law understands." He paused, and said with some embarrassment, "It's just that Xin'er appeared in her arms, if the son-in-law is not around......"

"It seems that the outside world is telling the truth, King Qin loves his wife as much as his life." Li Jingshen looked at his son-in-law speechlessly, "Everything has me, you can go with confidence." ”

Ye Zhen bowed and thanked him.

……

King Qin took the initiative to ask Yingshan Mountain to quell the chaos, Ye Xin looked at this son who had been indulged in gentle township since he got married, obviously unwilling to let him take risks, but Xiangguo Zhu Min said: "It is rare for His Royal Highness King Qin to wake up and have the heart to serve the country, Your Majesty should give His Highness this opportunity." ”

Ye Xin looked at the son in the audience who wanted to serve the country wholeheartedly, and thought that he couldn't let him stay in the gentle township for a long time, so with a stroke of his pen, he made him the general of Zhenyuan to quell the riots in Shandong.

The night before leaving, Ye Zhen thought that Li Moxin would make a little awkwardness, but who knew that not only was he not awkward, but he vomited jaundice water from morning sickness and wanted to hide it from him. The next person reported it to him, and he really couldn't rest assured now.

"It's not a big deal, you can't solve the problem." She said disapprovingly.

He frowned, telling himself that those who have achieved great things should not be stumped by their children's private affairs, and on the other hand, he was worried that something would happen. After thinking for a long time, he said, "I am really relieved that you move into the palace and let your mother take care of you." ”

If it was before he was released, Li Moxin was 10,000 reluctant to step into the palace gate for half a step, but in this extraordinary period, he had to rely on him and say yes.

In this way, Li Moxin moved into the palace and was taken care of by his mother-in-law. And not long after Ye Zhen left, there was another bloody storm in the court, which even affected the harem.

Ye Xin suddenly became critically ill, and the prince was vacant, and all the princes were staring at the news of who was in charge of the country. The first to sit still was the King of Wei, who used the guise of a visit to collude with Ye Xin's inner servants to try to make a false edict, and was told by the eyes of King Yan, King Yan took down his younger brother by the name of his brother, and all the henchmen said that King Yan was brave and should be in charge of the country.

This statement was seriously refuted by Zhu Min, saying: "The person who supervises the country is the crown prince, and although His Royal Highness King Yan is brave, he is not the prince, and he is not a concubine, and he is not in line with the ancestral system." Your Majesty's dragon body has turned from danger to safety, and this matter has to be played to Your Majesty, it is not up to us to decide! ”

And Ye Xin just struggled out of the illness, and when he encountered his son's rebellion, he almost fainted again, and immediately issued an order to investigate and punish the party of King Wei, King Wei was demoted to a commoner, and others were killed and degraded, and a large number of people were involved for a while. And the king of Yan? was praised and increased the fiefdom, but he was also secretly removed from many henchmen, saying that King Yan had been able to achieve great things and could return to the fiefdom to take charge of the people.

In this trouble, there are only four princes left in Beijing, and if you don't add Ye Zhen, the king of Han, there are three, and Ye Zhen is not in Beijing, so there are only Ye Hua, the king of Jin, and Ye Cheng, the king of Qi.

These two people are not easy to mess with, and they are also Ye Xin's hard work for half of his life, but who Ye Xin prefers, everyone with a discerning eye knows that it is Ye Hua, but now Ye Hua is guilty, so it is not good to propose to let him supervise the country, Ye Xin has to say that it depends on the opinions of the ministers, and how to quietly win over these ministers depends on the clever mouths of these women in the harem.

Therefore, the mothers of King Jin and King Qi took turns to fight, and each talked about the deep sisterhood with Ye Zhen's mother, Concubine Chen, saying how their sons usually love Ye Zhen, the ninth brother, and of course did not forget to praise Ye Zhen, who is now serving the country, and even asked Princess Qin to ask Li Jingshen, who was newly promoted to the imperial history of Zuo Yandu.

"They all praise our prince for being good, doesn't the prince know how good he is?" Li Moxin mocked while pouring tea for his mother-in-law.

"This is also a good thing, so that they will be unsuspecting and will not attack Zhen'er." Concubine Chen said lightly, "By the way, has he sent a letter?" ”

"I have come, I said that the riot has subsided, and now I am dealing with the matter of land, and I am writing a new policy, waiting for His Majesty's approval." Since ancient times, peasant revolts have been based on the land.

At this time, the New Year has passed, and it is spring ploughing, if it is solved well, what should the emperor think of Ye Zhen? Will he set his sights on this son who he has never had high hopes for?

……

At the beginning of February, when the green was on the top, the King of Qin returned triumphantly! Ye Xin looked at his son, who was not in tune on weekdays, and never expected that he would be able to solve the land problem in Shandong. Liquidate the terra nullius formed by the war, grant it to the people, reorganize the households, set up a township for every ten households, set up a party for every ten townships, and assign a township head and party leader to supervise tax military service and conscription. This move not only properly resettled the landless poor, found out a large number of hidden people, and freed some of the landless poor from the oppression of the local wealthy clans, but also increased taxes, military service and conscription from the side, and eased the contradictions.

Ye Xin rewarded his son lavishly, and most importantly, promoted the new law he implemented in Shandong throughout the country, although the government and the opposition had some objections, they were all rejected one by one, and Ye Zhende's reputation grew stronger and bigger among the government and the opposition.

And these Ye Zhen didn't care at the moment, he only thought about his wife, and when he came out of his father's study, he went straight to his mother's palace, ignoring the presence of his mother and the palace people, and took his wife into his arms and kissed Fangze. Li Moxin was ashamed and annoyed, thinking that he was going to make a joke again.

When he returned to the house at night, he lay on his wife's stomach and listened to the child's fetal movements, "Son, do you miss your father?" ”

Now Li Moxin was unhappy, "What if it's a daughter?" You don't want it anymore. ”

He didn't listen to this at all, and he was lying on his wife's stomach and laughing stupidly, "It's someone else's family to give birth to a daughter, no, no." As he spoke, he dropped a kiss on her stomach, "It's all my sweetheart, I can't give it to others!" ”

Li Moxin sneered, this person could be so naïve. She raised her hand and touched her husband's head, "Ye Zhen, I miss you so much." ”

He stood up to look at her, took her into his arms, kissed her tenderly on the forehead, then fell to the eyes, all the way down, covering her soft lips. kissed her like a comforting child, and every entanglement was extremely gentle, making her feel her presence. Every time he hugged her, he felt that nothing mattered, he didn't want anything anymore, he just wanted to feel the warmth and fragrance of her body forever.
