Chapter 412: The Empress is pregnant
Quietly, "The Legend of the Great Heroes" moisturized things silently, and gradually flourished in various countries.
In this era, entertainment life is boring, and scholars are stuck in old paper piles all day long, and they are all studying the so-called great principles of governing the country and leveling the world, and most of them are taking care of the little money in the family pocket.
Therefore, the advent of Cangguo's "Fable Story" will cause such a great impact in the whole world.
To a certain extent, the truths contained in "Fables" also have the effect of ideological enlightenment.
In the following years, the continuous publication of Cangguo almost formed a cultural trend, and it was also the soil for the development of a trend of thought, as if it was a dry land, injected with a steady stream of living water, and integrated into the lives of people all over the world.
Inevitably, Cangguo has become the cultural center of the whole world.
When this cultural center suddenly circulated a copy of "The Legend of the Great Heroes", everyone was naturally very curious.
After reading it, I was amazed at the beauty of it.
In the past, there has never been such a genre!
Limited by paper and other factors, in fact, the books written by various countries are basically only the royal or aristocratic can organize large-scale guest revision, and a book often takes dozens of disciples to spend several years of painstaking efforts to complete, and even then it is very small to circulate, and it is very remarkable to be able to circulate in the country.
And "The Legend of the Heroes of the Great Cang" is very different, this is the first time that Cangguo has published this genre, compared to other books, its low price is simply outrageous, you can buy one for one or two silver.
And what about the content?
They all wrote about the deeds of various generals in the previous wars, and used a very shameless way to deify these generals of Cangguo.
The enemies of those generals, such as the second prince of Zheng State, the Emperor of Wu State, Tang Ai, the general of Wu State, Hua Wenqi, Wang Zhi, Qin Kan, etc., of Jin State, have become hateful villains.
Within a few days, some Goolan teahouses were already telling the heroic stories inside.
It seems that the generals of the rest of the countries are naturally a head shorter.
And it is not difficult to see in various stories that the Emperor of Cangguo is a very benevolent and generous emperor, with foresight and wisdom unparalleled in the world, and there are gods in the dark to protect him.
These things were listened to by the nobles and high-level leaders of various countries, and of course they were dismissive.
But ordinary people buy it!
As a result, there was a very abnormal phenomenon among the people of various countries, the prestige of the emperor of Cangguo increased in the hearts of the people of all countries, and the generals of Cangguo all became famous generals in the world, as if they were invincible.
This phenomenon made the emperors of various countries very worried.
When Cangguo is deified, how will it be dealt with in the future?
In the future, those soldiers from civilian backgrounds, where will they still have the confidence to fight with the Cangguo?
This makes the countries feel the pressure from the Cangguo, they are not afraid of the current strength of the Cangguo, after all, no matter how strong it is, it is not as strong as the original Jin State, they are worried that the current strong momentum of the Cangguo, as well as the influence among the people of their country, will have a serious impact on their rule, and the Cangguo will step on the heads of the countries and grow up step by step.
Just when "The Legend of the Great Cang Heroes" was in an uproar outside, the Ministry of Rites reused the scholars who had been selected by Yang Mu, organized them, and began to work on another book.
It's called "This Is Not a Wild History".
This is a storybook dressed in the skin of history, although the title of the book is not very serious, and it separates itself from wild history.
But in fact, it's wild history!
Different from "The Legend of the Heroes of the Great Cang", these stories are written by Wenchen or praise those who are selfless and dedicated, and there are also some interesting things that really happened.
For example, the conversation between Kong Shangxian and Yang Mu at the beginning, as well as Geng Gui's identity as a general, after the secret conversation with His Majesty in the palace, many changes, or the military uniforms and robes designed by the queen mother for the soldiers...... And so on and so forth, more inclined to a kind of decryption or something.
Sure enough, after the publication of "This Is Not a Wild History", the response was still hot.
Even later, these two books worked together, which made a lot of rumors and rumors, causing many people to be dissatisfied.
For example, Hua Wenqi, the general of the Jin Kingdom, was angry after reading this book.
In fact, he is also an upright and loyal and patriotic general, but because he is the opponent of the Cangguo in the book, and blocks the Blue Dragon Legion and the White Tiger Legion, he is portrayed as a villain in the book, regardless of the life and death of his allies in order to achieve his goal.
He really couldn't figure it out, why did he refuse to support Wang Zhi and let him commit suicide?
Under the sneak attack of the White Tiger Legion, Wang Zhina was killed by more than 200,000 troops overnight, causing the camp to be besieged later, and he bombed the camp and cut himself, right?
In the book, on the contrary, it is written that Wang Zhi's death and the destruction of hundreds of thousands of troops are all because of his fault.
If the first emperor was in power, it would be fine, and he would not have to pay attention to such rumors.
But now, the ruling emperor is Wang Hanning, and the most trusted general is Zou Ji, the first two regard him as a thorn in the side, if he hadn't been busy with the Cangcheng Alliance in the past six months, there was a Qin Kan who was connected with the same illness to support each other, I am afraid that Wang Hanning would have been rectified long ago.
If there are too many rumors, it will be detrimental to his reputation, and it will be easy to be true.
In short, there are already many people in the Jin Dynasty who are scolding him behind his back, and there are many aristocratic figures.
After all, the Jin Kingdom lost that war, and it was these nobles who hurt the interests the most, and the land reparation was to cut the flesh from them.
As the rumors grew, Wavinch was completely messy, and it was worse than death.
has similar feelings, as well as Ruan Cairui, the empress of Ruan.
Because, in the book "This is not a wild history", there is an article about the good-neighborly relationship between Ruan and Cangguo, saying that the emperor of Cangguo went to Jincheng to meet the alliance and got acquainted with the empress of Ruan, but the empress secretly had feelings for him and showed favor several times, but the emperor of Cangguo was indifferent, and the empress of Ruan was sad and regretful, and finally could only bury this beautiful love deeply and stop at her lips and teeth.
"When will I scratch my head at the abominable?!"
When Ruan Cairui, the empress of Ruan Guo, saw this, she trembled with anger, and in a fit of anger, she threw the "This Is Not a Wild History" in her hand out of the door.
In short, Cangguo moisturized things silently, and slowly exerted his influence on the rest of the countries.
All countries are secretly accumulating strength.
And just like that, the time entered August.
The construction of the new capital of Cangguo is in full swing, and the people requisitioned by Cangguo for this purpose are as many as more than 500,000.
500,000 people, just to build a city, the daily expenditure is a huge amount.
The original land of Wangji was also well managed, with several huge fortresses under construction, and in a few months it would be ready to use to defend against enemies from the west.
However, just when Yang Mu was comfortable and thought that he could live a peaceful life for a few years, an accident happened.
This time it's Nguyen Quook.
According to the news brought back by the diplomatic envoys stationed in Nguyen, something happened in Nguyen's court.
It seems that it is several princes in the country who are attacking the Empress Ruan at the same time.
Just hearing the news, Yang Mu was very puzzled.
He didn't understand that Ruan Guo was so good, the two battles of the Battle of Wei and the Battle of Jin made the prestige of the Empress Ruan State in the country soar, and the army and the court's major affairs were tightly pinched in her hands.
However, why did the prince suddenly attack her?
Could it be that seeing her power grow day by day, she can't be impatient?
Shouldn't it......
Generally speaking, the struggle for the throne is forced in the end, and it belongs to the kind that is difficult to ride a tiger, either ascending to the throne or waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne and be liquidated, so he can only work hard to climb up until he ascends to the supreme throne.
This atmosphere in the court of Ruan Guo is equivalent to giving the kings a reassurance, although no one can ascend to the throne, but they are all safe.
At least, not everyone among these princes wants to be the emperor, but for the sake of the power and net worth behind him, he has to go on top.
Otherwise, there will be many compromises to let Ruan Cairui, the princess, become the emperor.
Immediately, Yang Muxuan came to Yan Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to discuss matters in Zichen Palace.
Maybe it's because of the Empress Ruan, the queen will also follow.
So, one emperor and one queen arrived at the Zichen Palace.
Since it was office hours, Yan Hua was dealing with things in the yamen of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the foreign court, and in less than half an hour, he arrived at the Zichen Palace.
"What happened to Ruan Guo, what is it?" Yang Mu asked solemnly.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, it is not the civil strife of the kings of Ruan, but the Empress of Ruan."
"Something happened to her?"
"According to the envoy's report, the Empress Ruan is pregnant! After not going to court for a few days, and then there was a pregnant belly, there were many discussions in the court, rumors spread, and the rest of the kings and royal ministers in the court began to make trouble. ”
This......
Empress Ruan is pregnant?
After Yang Mu heard the news, he was stunned for a long time, turned his head to look at the queen, opened his mouth, and felt very uncomfortable.
The queen's eyes were also very resentful.
Intentional flower arrangement flowers do not bloom, unintentional willow willow shady.
People are more angry than people!
Think about it, the time that the empress was in Cangguo was only a month, and counting the number of times she slept in the harem, it was only five or six times.
Is this a child?
It can be said that the Empress Ruan Guo did not want this child the most, and she didn't expect it at all, but with such a mentality, she had a child.
On the other hand, the queen, it has been almost six or seven years since she married Yang Mudu, and her stomach still has no reaction, and this matter has become a knot in the queen's heart.
So much so that in the past few days, the queen has been a bit like compensating him, letting him pick and take.
"Is this pregnant......?"
When the queen heard the news, she muttered a word and stared at him with a very resentful look.
Yang Mu couldn't cry or laugh.
What are you looking at me like this?
It's not that I can't do it, it's that your stomach is not angry, right?
Of course, he couldn't say this sentence no matter what, otherwise the queen's heart would be uncomfortable for a long time.
"What is the situation in Nguyen Quoc now?" Yang Mu asked.
"The empress of the whole country is very passive, and this matter has provoked the bottom line of the nobles of Ruan, broken the balance between many forces, and thus became the public enemy of several forces."
"That'...... How did Empress Nguyen deal with it? ”
"This ...... The situation of the Empress Ruan was very bad, under the pressure of all parties, she closed herself in the palace all day long, but secretly mobilized several soldiers and horses and trusted generals to enter Beijing, and the court successively dismissed many officials, and the undercurrent was surging...... Civil strife could break out at any time. ”
"What do you mean...... Is the Empress Nguyen herself okay? ”
"That's true."
"Then the nobles and courtiers of Ruan State, can they pursue the child in their womb?"
"Yes, Ruan Funing, the king of Ning, asked the empress of Ruan to hand over her adulterer and step down from the throne, and Ruan Fuyu, the king of Yu, asked the empress to have an abortion."
Adulterer?
Abortion?
Yang Mu's face was not very good-looking, of course, he also knew that Yan Hua was unintentional, and he didn't know the truth, so he didn't go to his heart.
However, from the information that Yan Hua said, he could guess some.
It seems that Ruan Funing, the king of Nguyen, is now in an advantageous position in Ruan, otherwise he would not have put forward the conditions for the abdication of the empress of Ruan.
King Yu has the intention of defending the empress.
How to deal with this matter has become a key issue.
An abdicated empress must be a dead end.
But if you don't abdicate, it will be difficult to explain to the countrymen and nobles.
Why did the original domestic aristocracy make her the emperor? It is because she is a daughter and has no troubles about her offspring, and she can give up the emperor's position after the transition.
This not only avoids the power struggle brought about by the coveting of the throne, but also balances the interests of several parties, and is also helpful to the entire Nguyen State.
Sure enough, the decision was the right one.
It is precisely because of the stability of the past few years that Nguyen has seized the opportunity and developed by leaps and bounds, and the identities of many ministers in the DPRK and the domestic families have also risen.
Originally, there was nothing to do, and the kings no longer regarded the struggle for power and throne as the top priority, and the forces of all parties gradually subsided.
However, the Empress Ruan suddenly became pregnant, how can this be counted?
First, what should be done with the child that is born? Is it male or female? Was he made a prince? Ruan's country, do you want to give it to people with foreign surnames?
This point, not to mention that the kings do not agree, even the qualified old people in the royal family are absolutely unbearable.
In this world, although there is no Cheng Zhu Lixue, and there is not such a heavy concept of chastity, but in any case, unmarried pregnancy is not accepted by the world.
What's more, the person who is pregnant is still the empress of a country.
Second, it is an extremely dangerous thing for a woman to give birth to a child, maybe when she gives birth, the empress of Ruan Guo will die at the time of childbirth, where will she leave the country? ()
