Hongwu five years, the sixth day of December, there was a great joy in the Great Jin Dynasty, the virtuous concubine Luzhu gave birth to a princess for Sima Shu, in fact, the production of green beads was born half a month prematurely, fortunately the mother and daughter were safe, which made Sima Shu happy!

After getting the news, Sima Shu led the queen to visit Concubine Xian in person, and the queen also made a bowl of porridge to bring over, originally she was a girl's family, and she didn't understand it originally, but she only felt that Concubine Xian's body must be weak after giving birth, and she should make some food to take with her. Looking at the queen who was feeding people with a bowl, Sima Qian said in her heart that the queen was still careful and experienced.

Luzhu is not the first time to produce, but I didn't expect this time to be quite dangerous, so the body is a little weak, at this time a pretty face is not a little bloody, she is lying on the bed, seeing Sima Shu and the queen coming, but also to get up to greet her, Sima Shu hurriedly told her not to get up: "Love the concubine and now the body is weak, don't be formal, it's better to lie down." ”

"What Your Majesty said is that if my sister is sick, I have to let the emperor worry about it, so let's rest."

When Concubine Xian saw the emperor, she was overjoyed and apologetic: "It's useless to have a concubine, it's useless to give birth to a dragon son for the emperor, only a daughter." "It seems like she's going to cry, this can't be blamed on Luzhu being sad, counting this, she has three daughters left in succession.

"Wherever I go, I like my daughter, and when I heard that you gave birth to a daughter, I was even more happy in my heart." Sima Shu is not a lie, he knows very well that the more princes, the more fierce the competition for the throne will be in the future, but if it is a daughter, it is estimated that he may be able to save a lot of worry in the future.

On December 17, a piece of bad news suddenly came from the grassland, and perhaps it was not entirely bad news for the Great Jin: because Tuoba Pugen was constantly harassing Tuoba Liuxiu's territory. As a result, he led 5,000 troops to pursue Tuoba Pugen in anger, but unexpectedly fell into Tuoba Pugen's ambush, most of the 5,000 people were killed in battle, and only Tuoba Six Xiu and several horsemen were able to escape back to the tribe!

After receiving this news, Sima Shu was silent, although Tuoba Liuxiu was the former enemy of the Great Jin, and he still occupied Jiuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Shuofang and other Chinese hometowns, but he was now an ally of the Great Jin after all, and he also took into account the role of acting as a strategic buffer for the Great Jin.

Therefore, Sima Shu had to make a gesture of support for the other party, and he ordered through the Privy Council that the state army and government soldiers could support Tuoba Liuxiu at the appropriate time. At the same time, it also supported a batch of weapons and equipment of the other side. Finally, an envoy was sent to the south of Tuoba. Tuoba Pugen, who was still panicking, quickly stabilized the situation after receiving support from the Great Jin, and Tuoba Pugen, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to take the southern part of Tuoba, immediately stopped military operations when he learned the news that the Jin army was heading north, so the unified action of the Tuoba tribe was postponed again!

Twenty-nine days and nights. Sima Shu stayed at Concubine Xian again. At this time, Luzhu's eldest daughter was five years old. As soon as she was born, she was named the princess of Xincheng by Sima Shu, which shows Sima Shu's love for green beads. The second daughter, Sima Yin, is also two years old and has just learned to walk and talk.

I saw that the little guy didn't stop for a moment. She seemed very interested in the little sister in the cradle, and from time to time she touched the baby's little face with her little hands, and then giggled. If the baby cried, she would quickly run into Sima Shu's arms and hide her head deep in Sima Shu's clothes, as if to say: She cries, it's none of my business!

Sima Shu gently took Lu Zhu and reached out to stroke her hair, Lu Zhu leaned happily on his shoulder, she was indeed a lovely woman. These harem women look glorious and enviable, but what they desire in their hearts is just the most ordinary kindness between ordinary couples.

The northern grasslands must be certain, and the rest of the specific affairs are nothing to do with Sima Shu. He finally took time to take a group of harem dependents to have a good time in the palace. After the end of the year, Sima Shu called Zhang Bin, Zu Ti, and Li Teh to the palace to discuss the affairs of the imperial court.

"Back to the emperor, now the Xianbei people on the northeast border no longer dare to invade the border, and the Buyu, Lulou and Wuhuan departments have all been surrendered, and the northeast border is no longer in trouble. The Liaodong government is vigorously developing the Liaohe River, and Liaodong will usher in a bumper harvest of grain in the coming year. As soon as Zhang Bin came up, he first reported to Sima Shu the results of the development of Liaodong.

"In Aiqing's opinion, Northeast I can sit back and relax?"

"Not necessarily, Murong Han under the Great Xianbei Mountain has not yet been attached, and sooner or later it will be harassed, and there are also Duan Wumuchen and Yuwen Mogui on the run, but there are tens of thousands of troops in Liaodong as pillars, plus General Tao is brave and good at fighting, and he is quite strategic, so there is no big trouble in Liaodong. It's just that Tuoba Pugen is stronger than the other ministries, and the ministers think that they must have the heart to annex other departments, but they must not be guarded against. Therefore, the only people who really suffer from the frontier are the Tuoba tribes. ”

"Well, what Meng Sun said is very true, Shizhi, how is the Privy Council's investigation of the Tuoba tribe?"

"Your Majesty, since Tuoba Pugen returned to the north to take over as the northern Dadanyu, after the death of Tuoba Luguan, he took charge of the central part of Tuoba again, although on the surface he has no disrespect for my Great Jin, but in his heart I am afraid that he has long been dissatisfied with our interference in the internal affairs of the Tuoba tribe. In the past Liaodong Xianbei Rebellion, the Xianbei people have shown their ambitions. This time, I announced to the world that Natuoba Six Cultivation was a vassal, although Tuoba Pugen did not say it on the surface, but he must be very dissatisfied in his heart. Although Tuoba Xianbei is divided into two parts, the north and south, but now the momentum of Xianbei in the north has far surpassed other forces, and sooner or later it will be a strong opponent of the Great Jin. ”

Sima Shu nodded and said, "What Aiqing said is quite insightful, but it coincides with some of my thoughts. ”

"Your Majesty is naturally wise, how can he be compared to Weichen."

"Hehe, Shizhi will also laugh, but in fact, I look at Aiqing's answer, her face is as usual, and she must have a plan in her heart, so you might as well talk and listen."

"The emperor has a clear understanding, to deal with Tuoba Xianbei, it is still necessary to implement divide and rule. It's just that Tuoba Xianbei and my Dajin have never intersected before, and the minister just has a strategy and a plan but there is no room to show his strength, and today I am Dajin, Tuoba Liuxiu surrenders, giving us more opportunities to understand Tuoba Xianbei. In particular, the grievances and hatreds between Tuoba Pugen, Tuoba Liuxiu, and Tuoba Biyan gave me the opportunity to use a divisive plan. ”

"Aiqing, let's try to say it!"

"Divide and conquer should be in the body of Tuoba Biyan, the younger brother of Tuoba Liuxiu. The minister thought that the emperor could entitle Tuoba Liuxiu as the southern big single Yu, Tuoba Biyan as the central big single Yu, and Tuoba Pugen as the northern big single Yu. ”

"Shhh Aiqing, there is no problem with the enclosure of the six revisions of Tuoba and the six revisions, and I am afraid that the six revisions of the Tuoba are looking forward to my edict, but can the other two people be enclosed? Sima Shu hesitated.

"Hehe, Your Majesty doesn't know that Tuoba Biyan and Tuoba Pugen are not as close as the outside world thinks. In the early years, Tuoba Pugen was reused by Tuoba Yilu in the south of Tuoba and assumed the position of the right virtuous king, but who knew that when Tuoba Pugen grasped the power, he did not reuse Tuoba Biyan who went north with him. This made Tuoba Biyan more and more dissatisfied with Tuoba Pugen, so after His Majesty's will arrived in Mobei, Tuoba Pugen may not accept it, but Tuoba Biyan will definitely be ecstatic! ”

"Aiqing, even if Tuoba Biyan accepts it, what can it do? If he wants soldiers or not, if he wants troops and no troops, how much wind and waves can he turn over? Sima Shu said disapprovingly.

"Hehe, Your Majesty doesn't know that compared with Tuoba Pugen and the two, Tuoba Biyan's power is indeed very small. But in any case, he is also a humble nobleman and has a certain calling power. Although his subordinates are small, if he has my Great Jin as foreign aid, it may not be impossible. Zu Ti said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, General Zu is very good at this discussion, Your Majesty, just as the so-called time and time, Tuoba Biyan may have had illusions about Tuoba Pugen in the past, but in the past few years, he has watched the other party swallow the two Xianbei step by step, and his own strength has not increased much. In addition, Tuoba Pugen is eyeing the southern part of Tuoba, which has increased Tuoba Biyan's vigilance against it! Zhang Bin also spoke out in agreement with Zu Ti's suggestion.

"In that case, the matter will be left to the Cabinet."

"Obey your orders!"

In the sixth year of Hongwu, on the fifth day of the first month, Sima Shu issued an edict to canonize Tuoba Liuxiu, Tuoba Biyan, and Tuoba Pugen as Xianbei Dadanyu. As expected, Tuoba Liuxiu happily accepted the canonization of the imperial court, only Tuoba Pugen refused to accept the canonization of the Great Jin, and at the same time he also refused the canonization of the Great Jin on behalf of Tuoba Biyan.

After accepting the canonization of the Great Jin Dynasty, Tuoba Liuxiu was no longer afraid of the threat of Tuoba Pugen. In order to show favor to the Great Jin, he also moved his tooth tent to the north for thirty miles, and established a tooth tent on the grassland north of Shengle. By March, Tuoba Liuxiu had increased by nearly 100,000 people, and there were more than 20,000 "bow control people".

In addition to Tuoba Liuxiu, Sima Shu also secretly sent envoys to encourage Tuoba Biyan to be called Shan Yu. Tuoba Biyan saw that Tuoba Liuxiu was called Khan with the support of the Great Jin, and he couldn't help but be moved, but his strength was small, and he didn't dare to fight against Tuoba Pugen like his brother, so he had to ask Tuoba Pugen for a seal.

Tuoba Pugen was criticized by many people for 'treating Tuoba Biyan poorly', especially after he refused the canonization of the Great Jin Dynasty for Tuoba Biyan, this kind of remarks were very rampant among the Xianbei tribe! In order to appease the people's hearts, Tuoba Pugen had to reward Tuoba Biyan and assign a piece of grassland at the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain to Tuoba Biyan jurisdiction.

In this way, although Tuoba Pugen was still the nominal ruler of Mobei, in fact the seeds of division had sprouted. After Tuoba Biyan broke away from Tuoba Pugen's control, he was no longer willing to surrender to the other party, and while easing his relationship with his eldest brother Tuoba Liuxiu, he re-accepted the canonization of the Great Jin in order to win the support of the Great Jin!
