"Official, the queen and all the ladies are here!" Su Lan walked into the study and poured tea for the little emperor, and reported by the way.

"Oh, what are they doing again?" Zhao Yu replied without raising his head.

"Official, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, I think it's a matter of discussing rewards!" Su Lan was a little uncertain.

"I still have to ask me about these things, just let the queen and the concubine discuss it!" Zhao Yu frowned and said. The Mid-Autumn Festival was a very important festival in ancient times, and according to the custom, the emperor should give him winter clothes and some seasonal things to show the emperor's grace. In the past, the Queen Mother was worried about these things, but after the wedding, the Queen Mother handed over power to the queen.

"Official, it's better to go over and take a look, the queen is also worried that something will go wrong, and besides, the queen and the concubine are pregnant, so it is not appropriate to work!" Su Lan knew that the little emperor was worried about the westward expedition these days, and he was very angry, but he still smiled and persuaded him.

"Alas, walking back and forth while pregnant is really worry-free everywhere!" Zhao Yu raised his head at this time, rubbed his temples and said without complaint. Since Wen Tianxiang led the team to set off, he fell into anxiety, thinking about what he had not instructed before leaving, whether there would be any risks on the way, whether there were any mistakes in the battle plan, whether the Yuan army had already discovered their intentions, and where to go today...... Wait, anyway, his mind is full of these things, even if he doesn't want to, he still can't help but appear in his mind, and even at night, he will suddenly wake up, which makes him feel physically and mentally exhausted.

"Official ......"

"Okay, I'll go over after I've reviewed these urgent documents!" Looking at Su Lan's half-complaining and half-coquettish look, Zhao Yu nodded helplessly. It is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is also a day of rest as usual, and the officials of various provinces and ministries also want to finish the matter at hand as soon as possible, so that they can take a vacation with peace of mind, so they have played one after another, and his case has piled up.

"In this way, the slave and maid will return like this!" Su Lan also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. How could she not notice the changes in the little emperor's mood, and naturally knew what he was worried about, but in the final analysis, she was still not at ease, although she didn't know it yet.

"Hmm!" Zhao Yu nodded and rushed to the little yellow door who was serving beside him, "Why hasn't today's post report from the Ministry of War arrived yet, you go to the Imperial Front Office to ask!" ”

"Yes!" When Xiao Huangmen heard this, he immediately went out and trotted.

"Official, Wen Xiang has only been away for five days, and there are still some days to go to Ezhou!" Su Lan sighed lightly.

"I know, but I'm just worried that there will be a delay on the road, and Wen Xiang won't be able to arrive on time, and he will miss a big event." Zhao Yu replied while reviewing the recital. He knows that there are too many accidents when boating on the water, and the current and wind direction can affect the speed of the boat, and the accident is even more unpredictable. At present, there is no real-time communication system, everything can only be transmitted by the post station, and the situation is known, but the information received by the post will also be delayed, especially with the increase of distance, the delay phenomenon will be more serious, if there is an accident over there, and he will not know what the situation has deteriorated to when he learns the news.

"The official family is too worried, since the matter of the expedition to the west is handed over to the right minister, and there are elite soldiers and good generals under his command, the official family can wait for the good news, and there is no need to interfere excessively!" Su Lan persuaded softly.

"Official, the post report of the military department!" At this time, Xiao Huangmen came in panting and sent a scroll to the road.

"I'll go over after I see it, my sister will go back to the queen first!" Zhao Yu took it and flipped it open, looked up at Su Lan and said.

"Yes!" Su Lan saw that the little emperor was buried in the text again, and it seemed that he didn't listen to what he said at all, so he could only sigh and retreat.

"Could it be that I'm really too worried......" Zhao Hao muttered thoughtfully as he looked at Su Lan's back as he left the study, but he felt that he was not like this in his heart......

said that it was a while, but after Zhao Yu finished reading the urgent performance, he read the post report sent by the Ministry of War, and it was already more than an hour later. And the queen and the others were not in the hall, but went to Furong Gang. This place is not far away, just east of Zhiyuan Hall, it is said that the gang is actually a hand-built soil ridge that is only two zhang high, and various hibiscus flowers are planted on it.

Zhao Yu went out, waved his hand and retreated from the small yellow doors that followed, and walked along a wooden plank road towards Furong Gang. Mid-autumn is the sky is high and the clouds are wide, the autumn is high and refreshing, he walks on the path to refreshe his spirits, and then he sighs that his ancestors will really enjoy, but also really play, the hibiscus trees all over the mountain are budding at the moment, and the flowers will bloom in late autumn, and people walk along the undulating plank road in it, as if they are integrated into the sea of flowers.

After going forward a little further, there is a platform used to enjoy the scenery in front of him, Zhao Yu has not yet seen it, he heard the laughter of the warbler Yanyan, he pulled the flowers and looked over, but saw his concubines frolicking there, a smile could not help but appear on his face, and his heart was warm. Strictly speaking, these people are their relatives in this world, and after a while, they will add a few more children, and they will have many responsibilities on their shoulders.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" But the sharp-eyed little yellow door saw his figure and preached loudly.

"Alright, it's like a soul!" The frolicking over there stopped abruptly, and Zhao Hao's just relieved mood was immediately destroyed, and people couldn't hide it, so he could only come out and say angrily.

"Meet Your Majesty!" Hearing the shouting, Wu Xi and the others immediately got up and stepped forward to salute.

"No courtesy, sit down!" Zhao Hao's face changed as if he had become a whiteboard again, and he raised his hand and said in a deep voice.

"What's the matter? I've had a lot going on these days! Zhao Yu sat down and glanced at everyone, but after a while, no one spoke, but his eyes looked at him in unison, and he frowned and asked.

"The official family, this is the list of Mid-Autumn Festival rewards for officials in Beijing, the concubine and the concubine have discussed, and the official family is invited to take a look!" Wu Xi presented a document to the Dao.

"Well, Wen Xiang led the army on an expedition this time, which can be increased a little more than in previous years, and everyone else's will be the same!" There were several dense pages, and Zhao Yu didn't have the heart to read them carefully, so he flipped through the words carefully.

"Yes, the concubine has written it down!" Wu Xi Shili took it, handed over a roster and said, "This is the roster of women from good families and female officials promoted in the palace selected by the official family for the official concubines, please take a look at the official family!" ”

"Didn't I have an early admonition, boycott the draft, and let the palace maid leave the palace. Didn't I tell you? Zhao Yu took the list but didn't look at it, but looked at Su Lan who was standing aside, and frowned even tighter.

"This ......" Su Lan peeked at the queen, hesitated and didn't say anything.

"The official family, the Shang Palace Order has been reported to the concubines, but at present, the concubines, concubines and concubines are pregnant and cannot serve the official family, and there are many vacancies in the harem and need to be taken care of. However, it did not disturb the people, but selected some people from the school-age women in the families of the officials of the DPRK and China, and then selected a few from the palace maids! Wu Xi saw that the emperor's face was angry, and hurriedly explained.

"The queen is still kind!" Zhao Yu's face softened a little when he heard this, but he still said angrily in his words.

"Official, the concubine is not against the holy will, but ......" Wu Xi sighed secretly when he saw this. And the heart is also bitter, the world says that the queen has a high status, but does not know the suffering, it is her responsibility to enrich the harem, if she is rejected, some people will say that she is 'jealous' for the sake of favor, and does not hesitate to hinder the reproduction of heirs. But according to the routine draft, she met such a 'slamming' emperor again, who refused to enrich the harem and drove people out, which made it very difficult for her to do.

"I know you mean well, but I can't make claims." Zhao Yu interrupted him impatiently and explained, "Su Lan has served me for many years, and she has won my heart, so she will be promoted to her concubine to assist the queen in taking care of the affairs of the palace, and the others will be spared!" ”

"Yes, the concubine obeys!" Wu Xi also breathed a sigh of relief, she also knew that the palace was not a paradise, it was also a battlefield where the family and the bureaucrats fought, who knew which newcomer would be favored and threaten her status. Although Su Lan has served the emperor since he was a child and has won his trust, his family has long been lost in the war, and he can't make any trouble without external assistance, which is better than many opponents.

"Slave and maid, thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" Su Lan was stunned when she heard this, although she had already known His Majesty's intentions and had been promised, but when the emperor said it in person in front of the concubines, she was still very excited, and hurriedly stepped forward to thank her.

"Excuse me!" Zhao Yu raised his hand with a slight smile.

"Say hello to my sister!" Wu Xi and the others congratulated Su Lan one after another, and Su Lan was also busy returning the salute one by one, and did not become arrogant because of this.

"Congratulations to Concubine Hui!" Everyone saw that the ceremony was over, and the little yellow doors and palace maids who were waiting around them also bowed and congratulated. But their moods are different, and some people feel that it is natural for them to be able to have today. But there are also people who can't help but feel pantothenic acid in their hearts, they entered the palace as a captured maid but were repeatedly promoted, and today they have to be titled, and they have to ascend to the sky in one step, which really makes people feel that they have taken shit luck, but they didn't expect the hard work they paid.

"Official, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the season to watch the tide, everyone wants to go and watch it together!" Seeing that His Majesty's face was slightly softened, Chen Shu said at this time.

"Thou art pregnant, and thou shalt be frightened? is still so nonsense, and besides, the stormy waves in the sea are not more spectacular than the Qiantang River tide, and what is there to appreciate! Zhao Yu refused without thinking about it.

"The official house is really boring, and it is said that there are thousands of streets and alleys in the city on the day of watching the tide, and it is very lively!" Chen Shu argued.

"Not allowed! Even if I go to watch the tide, I won't take you with me! Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and categorically refused. And accustomed to seeing the wind and waves at sea, he naturally has no interest in the river tide.

"It's because the official family didn't be able to conquer Sichuan and Shu in person that they sprinkled all their anger on Er and others, and showed it to anyone with a straight face!" Chen Shu was not convinced, got up and said angrily.

"......" As soon as Chen Shu's voice fell, the field immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at the little emperor, only to see that his face was gloomy, although he did not speak, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. These days, everyone knows that His Majesty is busy with the Western Expedition, and often loses his temper about it, and he also understands in his heart that he is depressed because he can't go to the expedition, but no one dares to break it, worried that it will go his own way, but now Chen Shu is angry and broken.

"Hehe, you don't say it, but I forgot!" After a while, Zhao Hao laughed dryly twice.

"Official, the concubine doesn't mean this......" Chen Shu actually regretted it as soon as she said it, but at this time, she didn't know how to justify, so she could only wave her hand again and again.

"No, no, this proposal is very good, very much in line with me, why didn't I think of it before, let me worry about it for so long!" Zhao Hao also waved his hand and smiled.

"This ...... This is really not the original intention of the concubine, and I ask Your Majesty to take back your order! Chen Shu regretted it to death, and her tears were anxious to stay, so she got up with a red face and saluted.

"The official family must not move the idea of pro-conquest, if the official family has a mistake, let the concubines wait, even if they don't think about the concubines, they must also think about the children in the womb of the sisters who have not yet been born!" Seeing that the emperor was like this, Concubine De Zhang Ping also hurriedly got up and pleaded.

"Eh, there are thousands of soldiers in the army who have pregnant wives in their families, they can resolutely go to the battle, why can't I!" Zhao Hao knew that he was playing the family card, and retorted with a smile.

"What the official family said is very true, but the identity of the official family is different from others, and the pro-conquest is not only related to the concubines, etc., but also a major matter related to the society, so you must not move lightly!" At this time, Wu Xi got up and said with a straight face. She summoned all the sisters to talk to the emperor today, in fact, she was worried that the emperor would sneak out of the palace and go to Sichuan and Shu on a whim, thinking about how to strengthen 'supervision', but she didn't expect an accident before she was involved.

"The queen is serious, the emperors of all dynasties don't know how many people they have personally conquered, they can, what's wrong with me!" Zhao Yu said, "In the past, Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty destroyed Western Chu, Emperor Guangwu destroyed the heroes, Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms fought in Chibi, Hanzhong and Hefei, Liu Bei Hanzhong and Yiling battles, Sun Quan fought in Hefei, Liu Yu Second Northern Expedition, Emperor Daowu of Wei and Emperor Taiwu fought in the founding of the country, Gao Huan Yuwentai fought each other five times, Emperor Wu of Zhou destroyed Qi twice, Liang Taizu of the Five Dynasties attacked Hedong Hebei, Tang Zhuangzong destroyed Liang, Zhou Shizong attacked Northern Han, Liao, and Southern Tang, Taizu of our dynasty attacked Northern Han, Liao Yelu Abaoji invaded Youzhou, Yelu Deguang destroyed Jin, Empress Dowager Xiao took Emperor Liao to conquer Lanzhou in the south, Li Yuanhao of Western Xia attacked the Song Dynasty, Genghis Khan of the Yuan Dynasty attacked the Western Xia, and Meng Ge's strategy was a pro-conquest of our dynasty! ”

"In addition, there are such as Emperor Ping Yingbu and Chen Feng of the Han Dynasty, Cao Pi's southern expedition of the Three Kingdoms, the battle of Fu Jianshui, the southern expedition of Emperor Wei Xiaowen, the northern attack of Emperor Wen Xuan of Northern Qi, the northern Zhou Emperor Wudi's expedition to the Turks, the Three Kingdoms Wei Ming Emperor Zhen'an counterattacked Zhuge Liang, the former Zhao Liu Yao counterattacked Shile, Ran Min killed Hu and then faced the former Yan, Murong Chui attacked the Northern Wei Pingcheng for revenge, the Southern Yan Murong Chao faced the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Eastern Wei Gaocheng personally conquered Yingchuan, the Northern Qi Dynasty supported Jinzhou, and the five generations later the Jin Emperor counterattacked the Liao State and other Sui Yang Emperor personally conquered Tuyuhun, Turkic, and Goryeo, and Tang Taizong personally conquered Goryeo, My dynasty Taizong destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty and attacked Liao, and King Jin Hailing invaded our dynasty in the south! ”

Zhao Hao listened to the examples again and again, and there were some other things he did not say, such as Nurhachi's annexation of Manchuria, Huang Taiji's entry into the customs and the battle of Songjin, Ming Chengzu's northern expedition to Mongolia, and Qing Kangxi's personal expedition to Geerdan, etc., because that was a matter of later generations, they didn't know it. Of course, most of these people are entrepreneurial and expansionist, or forced to fight, and there are others who are embarrassed to mention, which is a war enthusiast type pro-conscription. Although this kind of pro-conquest is not very common, it is not impossible, one is Ming Yingzong, and the other is Ming Wuzong who stole out of Xuanhua War Mongolia......
