After all, the assassination happened in the Cui Mansion, the emperor was magnanimous and did not pursue it, but the Cui family itself could not be exempted from responsibility, Cui Hong arranged the funeral of Lao Jun, and at the same time wrote a letter to ask for guilt, and voluntarily handed over all the official seals, and the positions of general, Taifu, and the Great Sima of the Southern Army were all without exception. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Han Ruzi returned the petition for guilt, Cui Hong wrote again, and even pleaded with the emperor through his daughter.

In just a few days, Cui Xiaojun was deeply shocked, and became more and more convinced of the truth of "full of losses", so he sincerely hoped that his father could hand over power.

"My father is seriously injured, and it will be difficult to heal for a while, and he is also old, and he just wants to live at home for the rest of his life, so His Majesty will take back his official seal. Now that the country is troubled, it is time for the Southern Army to be handed over to others. ”

Han Ruzi lives with the queen these days and has not summoned other concubines, "To tell the truth, I also want to take back the southern army, but now that the DPRK is investigating Han Chou's case, the ministers are panicking, and it is not appropriate to make any further changes, if the general really wants to hand over the southern army, let him wait a little longer." ”

After the assassination incident, the generals of the Southern Army did not speak up for Cui Hong, and the contact between the two sides was not as close as before, so Han Ruzi was not in a hurry to take back the seal of Da Sima, and at the moment he did not have a suitable candidate to replace Cui Hong, so it was better to keep him to stabilize the situation.

Cui Xiaojun believed in the emperor, did not urge again, and instead said: "Concubine Hui is pregnant, has Your Majesty ever visited?" ”

Concubine Hui is the title of Tong Qing'e, she is now an important person in the palace second only to the emperor, from the queen mother down, everyone revolves around her, even Zhang Youcai, who stays by Concubine Tong's side for most of the day, and a little thing has to be told to the emperor and the queen mother.

"I've been." Han Ruzi replied vaguely, he went once, and left without saying a few words, "Concubine Tong is nervous when she sees me, so I think it's better to go less." ”

Cui Xiaojun smiled lightly, "Your Majesty has put the cart before the horse, Your Majesty doesn't go often, Concubine Hui is worried, so she will feel nervous, if Your Majesty can go to see it often, let Concubine Hui know that Your Majesty loves her son, she will naturally not be nervous anymore." ”

Han Ruzi frowned slightly, "To tell you the truth, I don't have the feeling of 'loving my son' yet." ”

Cui Xiaojun said solemnly: "Your Majesty must have it, that is Your Majesty's first child, and it is also the hope of Da Chu's future, Your Majesty is safe in everything he does, after this child is born, the stability it brings may exceed everything Your Majesty has done so far." ”

"It doesn't have to be a boy...... Well, I'll check it out often. Han Ruzi stared at the queen and sighed lightly, "It would be nice if the child was yours." ”

Cui Xiaojun didn't want this, but she wasn't jealous, "Everything has a certainty, I can't be in a hurry, if I have a son in my life, sooner or later, if so, if it is...... I am satisfied to see Your Majesty. ”

Han Ruzi had a busy day the next day, and in the evening, he followed the queen's advice and temporarily decided to visit Tong Qing'e.

He has a good impression of Tong Qing'e, and it can even be said to be very good, but it is another kind of feeling, completely different from the queen, every time they meet, he will remember the scene when he was seduced a few years ago, and immediately feel that he is a few years younger and quite embarrassed.

It was Tong Qing'e's first pregnancy, and Han Ruzi felt even more embarrassed, as if she had refused the food in front of people, but she was caught when she ate it secretly.

Tong Qing'e also felt embarrassed, always thinking that she shouldn't be so lucky, the first person to get pregnant should be another concubine, such as Concubine Deng Yun.

When the emperor came, Deng Yun was chatting with Tong Qing'e in the room, and she and the other two concubines were finally confirmed to be not pregnant.

Empress Dowager Cining is wary of all concubines except Tong Qing'e, although Deng Yun can come, but she is not allowed to bring her own gifts, especially not food, there are always a few eunuchs and palace maids staring at the house, she doesn't care, every time she comes, she touches Tong Qing'e's belly that has not yet bulged, "Isn't the little guy a little lonely?" Bless me with a younger brother. ”

The arrival of the emperor still made Tong Qing'e nervous, she moved too fast when she got up, and she almost fell, and before others had time to step forward, Deng Yun grabbed her first and sat down according to her, "This is not a formal occasion, so you don't need to pay attention to etiquette from time to time." ”

When Han Ruzi entered the house, the embarrassing feeling came again, so he had to put on a majestic posture and said, "I'm going to say hello to the Queen Mother, stop by and have a look,"

Tong Qing'e's face was red, and Deng Yun said generously: "The palace is Your Majesty's home, and Your Majesty has to 'drop by' often." I just said to Concubine Deng, as long as it is not a formal occasion, there is no need to be formal in front of His Majesty, right? ”

"Of course." Han Ruzi nodded, looked around, the people who served Tong Qing'e were all former "hard-working people", he had seen them all, and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt bored, so he nodded again.

Deng Yun smiled: "Your Majesty is sorry, Zhang Youcai, Your Majesty is here, you don't have to keep an eye on it anymore." ”

Zhang Youcai laughed a few times, he kept looking at Concubine Shu, almost never took his eyes off, he did stare too closely, and motioned for others to leave with him, but he didn't go far, he stayed outside the door, looked at it from time to time, and was on call.

There was a soft couch under the window, the two concubines sat on it, Deng Yun pointed to the chair opposite, "Your Majesty, please sit, Your Majesty doesn't just take a look and leave, right?" ”

Han Ruzi hesitated for a while, but walked over and sat down, more like a visitor than the owner here.

Tong Qing'e didn't know what to say, Deng Yun smiled: "You two are so boring, you really don't know how to be in bed...... Let me find a topic, Your Majesty, is it true that you have chosen a pirate to be your general? ”

Speaking of this kind of thing, Han Ruzi has something to say, "Huang Pugong has long been no longer a robber." ”

He briefly recounted Huang Pugong's deeds, Deng Yun found it quite interesting, and even Tong Qing'e listened to it, and said: "He is a filial son." ”

Deng Yun said: "The filial son is still second, this person seems to be really good at fighting." So what about the Yan family? Shouldn't he be punished for hiding such a good general? ”

"Without the Yan family's hiding, Huang Pugong would have been executed more than ten years ago, so it can be regarded as a combination of merits and demerits. I summoned Yan Pengshi into the Su Guard and made him a deputy lieutenant, if he is really talented, he will always be useful in the future. ”

Tong Qing'e nodded indifferently, as long as the emperor seemed normal, she was not so nervous.

Deng Yun really took the emperor's words seriously, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is appeasing Yan Kang, who is far away in the East China Sea. That's right, with a background like Huang Pugong, he can't produce one for many years, and punishing the Yan family can't cure the queen, but it will make the ministers suspicious, so it's better to give the Yan family a recommendation. ”

Most of the concubines couldn't even call the names of the ministers of the DPRK and China, but Deng Yun could casually say the name of the prime minister of the East China Sea, and Han Ruzi was a little surprised.

Deng Yun had been very smart before, but many of the words were more like what her brother Deng Cui taught her, and now that Deng Cui is far away in the Western Regions, Deng Yun can only rely on herself and show her true temperament.

"Huang Pugong has already gone to Yunmengze, if he can really make a contribution, I will send him to pacify the East China Sea, and then he will return to the East China Sea Kingdom and cooperate with the Minister of State Yan Kang to suppress bandits, this is a trouble."

The former servant has become a general, and the face of the old lord will not be too good-looking.

Deng Yun took the emperor's words as a question and thought for a moment, "Can't Yan Kang be recalled to the capital to appoint high-ranking officials?" ”

"I have this idea, but the Ministry of Officials said that although there are some officials in Dachu who are not hereditary, they are always held by fixed families for various reasons. The Yan family is a big family in the East China Sea, and Yan Kang was summoned to Beijing, and the successor had to be the Yan family, and the problem was not solved. ”

"A little Yan family, even Your Majesty can't move?"

"You can move, but there is no need, the East China Sea Country is remote, it needs to be more stable than the capital, the Yan family is not a big evil, it is useless to remove it, and the officials appointed by the imperial court will not do better, but it will be more difficult to control."

Han Ruzi has long discovered that the farther away from the capital, the more unobstructed the road is, the more stable the officials, always controlled by a few families, the magistrates usually run every three years, at most six years, but the border officials do not have to abide by this regulation, every time the term of office is about to expire, the imperial court will always receive a large number of petitions from the people in the place, hoping to keep their parents and officials, and the imperial court often pushes the boat down the river.

As the emperor, Han Ruzi didn't like this kind of "convention", but he couldn't solve it now, and in the next two or three years, he needed the stability of the East China Sea Kingdom.

Deng Yun thought for a while and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, Your Majesty should let Yan Pengshi also go to Yunmengze, doesn't he like to take the lead in military skills?" Let him 'pretend to lead' again, and after suppressing the bandits, His Majesty rewarded Huang Pugong and Yan Pengshi at the same time, and then sent both of them to the East China Sea Country at the same time. The credit of the Yan family is tightly tied to Huang Pugong, so there will be no more trouble, right? ”

Han Ruzi didn't respond, but in her heart she felt that what Concubine Shu said was an idea.

Deng Yun said again: "When the East China Sea is calmed down, Your Majesty has room for maneuver, and you can follow the example of the previous emperor and move the frontier clan to the interior, and the Yan family will be counted among them." ”

Han Ruzi smiled, but still didn't say anything, discussing political affairs with the concubine had already broken the rules, he couldn't say more, and asked casually, "What does Concubine Hui think?" ”

Tong Qing'e was stunned, she would rather be a listener, she felt very comfortable, it was too difficult to let her make up her mind, "I, I think Concubine Shu is right." ”

Han Ruzi got up to say goodbye, deliberated again and again, and walked in front of Tong Qing'e.

Tong Qing'e stood up in surprise, and Deng Yun looked at it with interest.

Han Ruzi had seen her mother, the queen and others caressing Tong Qing'e's lower abdomen, so she also imitated a gentle touch, and said bluntly: "Concubine Hui is precious, after giving birth, I will congratulate you." ”

Tong Qing'e was stunned and speechless, the emperor turned around and left, feeling relieved after going out, feeling that this was more difficult than dealing with national affairs, but he did have a strange feeling in his heart, and he had more expectations for the little life that couldn't even look at it.

In the room, Deng Yun helped Tong Qing'e sit down and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is a good emperor and a good father, no matter what, I will give birth to a prince for him." ”
