The sudden and incomplete death swept away the haze that had shrouded the emperor's heart for days. After retiring from the Hanyuan Palace, the emperor rested beautifully, and when he woke up, he hurriedly ate and went straight to the harem with excitement, and he wanted to tell the good news to Jing Xuan and Wanrong in person.

However, when the emperor came to the Baoxiang Palace first, he was in vain. Cailuan, the maid who stayed in the palace on duty, told the emperor that Jing Xuan took Jinping and Zhu Shuang to the Zilan Hall in the afternoon to visit Ashina Jieyu, who was pregnant, and had not returned to the palace yet.

The emperor stopped Cailuan, who wanted to go to the Zilan Palace to invite Jing Xuan back to the palace to see her, and told her with a smile on his face that as soon as the concubine Niangniang returned to the palace, he would send a message to her, asking her not to go out again, just stay in the Baoxiang Palace and wait for her to come again, and have good news to tell her in person. Then he left Cailuan, who was surprised, and turned to Yaohua Palace, where Wanrong lived.

Wanrong was in the Yaohua Palace, was idle, and Jixiang, Ruyi two little babies played to relieve boredom, heard the report that the emperor arrived, overjoyed, busy makeup got up to welcome out of the hall. When Jixiang and Ruyi heard that their father was coming, they also happily ran out after their mother.

As soon as the emperor stepped into the palace gate of Yaohua Palace, he saw two children like pink carvings running towards him with a swaying face, and couldn't help but be happy, bent down, held a pair of babies in his arms one by one, kissed everyone on the face, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen my father for three days, do you miss my father?" ”

The auspicious little boy, who was particularly naughty and naughty, was hurt by the emperor's beard stubble, and he didn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and ministers taught by the palace attendant on weekdays, picked up his pink little arm, and gave the emperor a slap in the face, and shouted angrily: "My father is bad, my beard is pricked." ”

This time, he was frightened, and he hurriedly raised his hand and twisted it on his little buttocks, and reprimanded him with a straight face: "You little villain, have you forgotten the etiquette of the monarch and the father and son that you taught you on weekdays?" Dare to be rude to your father, I see you are spoiled! ”

The girl Ruyi is very well-behaved and sensible, while stroking half of the emperor's cheek that was slapped by her brother, and coaxing the emperor in a milky voice: "Father doesn't cry, brother is bad, let's ignore him." On the other hand, he also pleaded with his father for his brother: "My father's beard is pierced, and Ruyi was also pierced, but Ruyi is a female baby, and the mother said that a female baby can't hit people casually."

The emperor was teased by a pair of children and was in a good mood, and shook his head again and again: "What does a two- or three-year-old baby know, it's okay, it's okay." The auspicious boy really has some strength in his hands, and he is a piece of material to be a general, but when the baby grows up and becomes a person, the world will be peaceful for a long time, and the father is worried that you have no strength, but you can't get a battle to fight. "Having said that, in the end, I still want to see the girl Ruyi with sharp teeth, and I put Jixiang down to the ground with my hand, and walked towards the hall with only one Ruyi.

Wanrong had heard some rumors of good news from the mouths of the people around her before, but she didn't hear it very exactly, at this time, seeing that the emperor had walked into Yaohua Palace, the smile on his face had never disappeared for a moment, and he knew that there must be extremely rare good news coming, otherwise the emperor would not be so happy, so he also put on a smile and asked the emperor: "What is the great joy that has come into the palace to make Your Majesty so overjoyed?" ”

The emperor heard Wanrong inadvertently said a word of victory, and felt even more auspicious, and got up on a whim, and threw the Ruyi in his arms into the air, and caught her with his hand, and took advantage of the fall to the ground, and then turned around and replied: "Shuofang Jiedu made Lu Huaixian send a military report early this morning that the rebel chief is in danger and dead. In this way, the great rebellion, which had lasted for more than ten years, was expected to be put down in the first year of my succession. Ai Concubine, do you think this is a great joy? ”

That Ruyi was only two years old, very bold, was thrown by the emperor one after another, but he was not afraid, and he heard the words of his father and mother and concubine talking about the words of great joy, although he didn't know what it meant in his heart, but he knelt on the ground with the help of the emperor, and kowtowed to the emperor and Wanrong again and again: "Ruyi congratulates my father and mother, and there is a great happy event coming."

The emperor listened to her childish congratulatory words, and nodded incessantly: "Ruyi said well, today is indeed a great happy event." ”

Wanrong saw that her daughter was quite popular with the emperor, which was enough to make up for the great disaster that her son had just made recklessly, so she instructed Shan'er, who was standing aside: "Quickly bring the two babies down to play, and the emperor is arguing." ”

Shan'er responded, stepped forward and pulled up auspiciousness and ruyi one by one, saluted the emperor and Wanrong, and went out of the palace.

"Why didn't you see Sakura today?" The emperor watched the two babies swaying away, still with a smile on his face, and asked Wanrong.

Wanrong listened to the emperor enter the Yaohua Palace, first played and joked with the two babies, and then asked about Sakura, as if she had the new love of Sakura, she had completely forgotten herself, and her heart couldn't help but feel a strong sense of vinegar.

"Ying'er is still filial, knowing that the concubine has a body, can not tolerate greasy, and rarely eats the fresh lotus seeds produced in the Nannei Lake, these days have to go to the Nannei every day to personally go on a trip, for the concubine to pick some lotus seeds of the day to boil porridge and drink. If the emperor is in a hurry to see her, the concubine will send someone to send her back to the palace, okay? ”

He just asked casually, but he attracted a series of words from Wanrong, and in and out of the words, he clearly revealed his dissatisfaction with himself. The emperor smiled to himself, hurriedly pulled the topic away from Sakura, approached Wanrong, reached out and touched her unmanifested abdomen, and asked with concern, "Is the little guy still honest in there?" I listened to Concubine Ai talk about liking lotus seeds, and in my opinion, this baby is only a male baby. ”

Wanrong received the emperor's closeness and care, and felt a little more comfortable in her heart, in view of Fang Cai's auspicious recklessness and rudeness, she responded with disgust: "What's so good about a boy?" For no reason, it will only spoil the food, and once it gets into trouble, I can't even figure out how I died, how can it be compared to the girl who is sensible, well-behaved, and painful? ”

The emperor stood up and retorted disapprecittingly: "I still think that the boy is better in my heart. Now that I have talked about this topic, I have one thing, I think the prophet will love the concubine, so as not to complain about the concubine in the future. ”

Seeing that the emperor restrained his smile, Wanrong guessed that what the emperor was going to say must not be a trivial matter, so she also sat upright, put on a serious appearance of listening to the hadith, and waited for the emperor to continue.

"The danger is not complete, and the quelling of the rebellion in the north is just around the corner." The emperor paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, and said, "But I dare not hope that the world will be peaceful from now on. Not to mention that the war in Western Xinjiang is about to start again, in the past ten years alone, in order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, the imperial court has requisitioned hundreds of thousands of adult males to join the army, which has caused the power of leading generals from all walks of life to expand dramatically, and it has gradually become a trend of not falling.

During the reign of his father two years ago, Wei Bojun repeatedly mutinied, and his disobedience to the unified orders of the Nine Roads Guan Military Envoy appointed by the imperial court was a sign of danger. If, in the near future, although the rebellion is quelled, these princes all support their own troops, become independent, and form a strong vassal domain, will not the imperial court fall back into the predicament of existing in name only?

In order to prevent trouble before it happens, I held a great court meeting today, adopted Xuan'er's suggestion, canonized Qi'er as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and allowed him to build a government and open a mansion, so that all soldiers and horses in the country can obey the unified orders of the marshal's office.

However, this alone is not enough. I want to emulate Han Gaozu and re-practice feudal things. I have a total of fifteen princes over the age of ten, but at present, only Qi'er is crowned king. I plan to hold another court meeting in three or five days, and seal all these fifteen children to various places as kings, and use the relationship between father and son and brother as a link to build a barrier for the court that can be used to prevent external and internal disasters, but in this way, the concubine will inevitably suffer some grievances.
