The battle report of the southeast front will be delivered to the hands of Emperor Liang every day, from the overall situation of the battle is still unfavorable for the Liang Dynasty, although the king of Yu has joined forces with the Guangyuan army to stop the offensive of the Tang and Xiliang coalition forces, but the territory of the sixteen states in the southeast has fallen. The news spread in Daliang China, and the people were all panicked. Every day in the early dynasty, the most debated thing was about the war, and Emperor Liang's brain was about to explode for several days.

Emperor Liang is fifty-one years old this year, and it has been thirty-one years since he ascended the throne at the age of twenty to succeed to the throne. In the first 20 years, Emperor Liang can be said to be a competent emperor, the land has not been lost, and the people can be regarded as living and working in peace and contentment, although there are occasional conflicts with neighboring countries, but basically maintain a stable state, and there is no large-scale war in 20 years.

Until ten years ago, the Tang Dynasty forcibly occupied Yinzhou without declaring a war, which was a major stain on Emperor Liang's imperial career, but fortunately, King Yu and his Xuanjia army finally regained the lost territory through a surprise attack after Yinzhou was forcibly occupied for many years. Then King Yu led his army to destroy Donghu, so that the land area of Daliang was expanded, becoming the largest land area since Emperor Liang succeeded to the throne, which was enough to rejuvenate Emperor Liang's ambition and make him famous in history.

But when Emperor Liang was fifty-one years old, a larger war began, and as soon as the war began, the Liang Dynasty was defeated and retreated, although it was not at risk of losing the country, but Emperor Liang was also worried about it. Since October, Emperor Liang has been worried about the war every day, and the whole person is also a lot haggard, but fortunately, another happy event finally happened.

Princess Xiang gave birth to a baby boy in the early spring of March in the 31st year of the Liang calendar, which is really a happy event, and Emperor Liang finally succeeded in being promoted to grandfather. Emperor Liang couldn't hide his joy when he held the baby boy, after all, he was over half a hundred years old, and the prince had passed away, leaving no heirs; The fourth child didn't even accept the princess; The princesses and side rooms of the sixth and seventh have also been silent.

"It's still the old five!" As soon as Emperor Liang was happy, he promoted King Xiang to the Prince of Qizhu, which was already the highest rank among the princes, and above was the position of the prince of the East Palace.

With the emperor's grandson, this is the great joy of the royal family, and Emperor Liang decided to celebrate it. As for the pomp, it is naturally how big it is, in the eyes of Emperor Liang, it is extremely luxurious to show his love for this first emperor's grandson.

However, the war was tight, and the southeast front was in full swing, and a grand feast was to be held in the imperial city, just to celebrate the birth of a baby boy. For this reason, some courtiers still raised objections, among which Liao Zhen and Jiang Weizhen were representatives, and their reasons were very good

But at the same time, it is also very single and impersonal. In the eyes of the minority, the most important thing at hand is a great war for the whole country, and only when the enemy army is completely defeated, the national defense is settled, and the people's livelihood is well organized, can a feast be held.

"It turns out that in Lord Liao's opinion, the royal family is just like ordinary people, with an extra mouth to eat?" King Ling has always been at odds with King Xiang, and it stands to reason that even if he remains silent about the cancellation of the celebration, he should not directly oppose it.

"His Royal Highness the King of Ling's words are wrong! Princess Xiang's birth of the imperial grandson is not only a happy event for the royal family, but also a happy event for Daliang......"

"Then may I ask Lord Liao, why do you insist on opposing it? Judging by your rhetoric, it is simply inconsistent and unreasonable! ”

"Saint, Weichen has always believed that it is not appropriate to hold a large-scale celebration during the critical period of the war between the Three Kingdoms, which will chill the hearts of the front-line soldiers!"

"So, if I get the emperor's grandson, I can only hide it secretly?" Emperor Liang was already quite dissatisfied with the admonitions of Liao Zhen and others, if he hadn't endured it, he was afraid that it would have already occurred at this time.

"Enlighten the Holy Lord!" At critical moments, Cai Xiang is always needed to come out to play a round, "Lord Liao is also dedicated to the public and has no intention of dying, all he cares about is his family and country." However, the saint is happy to win the emperor's grandson is also a major event of the royal family, and the celebration is also to announce to the world that the emperor and grandson are justified, and this celebration cannot be ignored. ”

Or Cai Quan's knowledge in general! Emperor Liang's face was a little pale, and at this time, Zhang Huaiyuan came out and said: "Qiqi Shengshang, Weichen thinks that what Cai Xiang said is reasonable, there is no trivial matter in the affairs of the royal family, it is precisely because the front-line battle is in full swing that we should celebrate the emperor and grandson, so as to show my Liang's national fortune and national lineage!" ”

"Well said!" Emperor Liang was quite impressed by Zhang Huaiyuan's words, "It's so decided, I want to hold a celebration to celebrate, and this matter will be handled by the Ministry of Rites!" ”

"Holy!" Liao Zhen still wanted to argue with reason, but Cai Quan stopped him in time.

Emperor Liang glanced at Liao Zhen quite impatiently, flicked his sleeves and retreated on his own. Seeing that his advice was useless, Liao Zhen, who was unwilling in his heart, strode out of the hall and left the palace alone without saying a word to anyone.

Zhang Huaiyuan looked at Liao Zhen's back and said to King Ling: "This person is also from Qingshan Academy, he has a stubborn temper, and he is the right-hand man of His Royal Highness King Yu. This kind of person is a bull's temper, one way to the dark, no tears when he doesn't see the coffin, but His Highness has to be careful. ”

"Whoever stands in my way has only one end." Zhang Huaiyuan of the Ling Dynasty made the color and left, and he wanted to enter the palace to see Concubine Min.

Zhang Huaiyuan bowed to the back of King Ling, with a comprehension expression on his face.

Speaking of which, Emperor Liang hasn't been to Yongfu Palace for a long time, but Concubine Min doesn't mind this, she has been in a good mood these days. If you want to ask why, it is mainly because of the record of King Yu, and the connection between this can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

This good mood lasted for ten months, and it was not until yesterday that it was disturbed by new information. Princess Xiang's birth was a major event for the Xiao family of the Liang Dynasty, and the people in the entire palace knew about it, and it even began to spread among the people.

Concubine Min originally planned to replace all the ornaments in the palace, after all, the new year was new, but as soon as she heard that Princess Xiang gave birth, she immediately lost interest, and shook her hand to let the minions all retreat, she didn't want to hear anything unpleasant about her.

As the servants withdrew from the main hall, Concubine Min was the only one in the huge palace. She sat alone in front of the dresser, looking in the mirror and feeling sorry for herself, the person in the mirror was also young, beautiful as a flower, and also twenty-eight years old, it was the years that took away her former beauty, but did not leave her enough capital to spend the rest of her life.

When he entered the palace at the beginning of that year, he was just a side room, and the main room was Wen Jin. As the main room, Wen Jin is also good to herself, but no matter what she does, she always feels that she is just acting, acting for Emperor Liang, who was still the prince at the time. Except for the short pleasure of entering the new palace, after that, he only had to wait, which was more than 20 years, and now the original prince is already the son of heaven; Wen Jin, who made him infinitely jealous, has also been in the soil for many years, but why? Why hasn't my situation changed in any way? Why are you still the one who waits all day long, then disappointed, and continues to wait in exchange for disappointment?

The woman's youth is just a few years, and she is already an old man, and there are Jingjia concubines, Du Xian concubines, Yingshu people, and ...... in the harem There are still many young and beautiful women waiting for the emperor's rain and dew, and they are becoming more and more hopeless!

Concubine Min clenched the comb in one hand, ignoring the pain, she couldn't wait to crush the comb and drop it on the faces of those women, making them completely dead!

"!"

The slave's voice sounded very inopportunely, and Concubine Min's anger was nowhere to vent, so she raised her hand and slammed the familiarity on the maid's face.

"! Didn't you all let you all out? This time I'm coming to disturb the rest of the palace again, someone's coming! ”

"Niangniang, Niangniang spare your life! Mother, yes...... It's because His Royal Highness the King of Tomb has come down! ”

As soon as she heard the name of King Ling, Concubine Min's anger disappeared by half, if there is anything worthy of her nostalgia in this world, it is only this son, he is the only one to rely on for the rest of his life.

"Get out!"

The maid was so frightened that she crawled out of the dormitory, and after a while the king walked in. As soon as he saw Concubine Min's angry face, King Ling hurriedly came over and comforted: "Mother, is that slave and maid angry with you again?" It's good if you just kill you, don't hurt yourself. ”

"Yun Rui, the mother concubine is the only one to rely on!"

Looking at Concubine Min's tearful appearance, King Ling had no choice but to take her into his arms and comfort, "Mother, Erchen knows that your life in this palace is very difficult, and Erchen knows that Mother Concubine is also painstaking in order to fight for more status and opportunities for Erchen. Erchen knows, Erchen remembers it in his heart! ”

"It's good that you know, the concubine just wants to be reunited with you as soon as possible, and she doesn't have to be in this palace anymore!"

"Mother, concubine, why don't you want to take you to my mansion as soon as possible? It's not that the father is still there, and the ancestral family law can't be messed up. However, Erchen came today to bring good news to the concubine. ”

Concubine Min left King Ling's arms and asked casually, "What's the good news?" If King Xiang or King Yu died, this would be good news. ”

"Even better news than that!"

"Oh?"

Concubine Min looked at her son suspiciously, but King Ling couldn't suppress his joy and grasp of it.
