Li Xin's dragon boat walked on the Yellow River, and every morning it would be close to the shore to replenish the needs, and once there was something important, the escort fleet would naturally release small boats to take the Jinyi Guard to the shore.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Shuo Fang has a letter." Shen Qianqiu lowered his head, and on the deck, Shen Ruyan was carefully feeding Li Xin with longan, and the clothes on his body were relatively small, and Shen Qianqiu didn't dare to look at it.

"Xuanba!" Li Xin took the letter, looked at it seriously, and said: "Last time I ascended the throne, I canonized him as the Duke of Yin Guo and commended him for his merits, but he refused. Does his body really need to be seriously recuperated? What's the news from the Medicine King? ”

"Although Shuo Fanghou's body and bones have been recuperated by the predecessors of the Medicine King before, but after years of war, it is almost impossible to say that it is serious recuperation, and this time Shuo Fanghou said that he came back to recuperate, it is also possible." Shen Qianqiu thought about it and said.

"Then let him come back! The title of Duke of Yin is still given to him. Li Nobunaga sighed and said: "He is not young anymore, I heard that he is not close to women in order to practice martial arts, how can this work?" Write a letter to the concubine, and ask the concubine to find a person with the right door for Yin Guogong in the powerful house in Beijing, and it is also good to extend the incense as soon as possible. Li Xin put aside the letter in his hand, stood up by himself, and looked at the vast Yellow River in the distance, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

"Yes." Shen Qianqiu didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly got off the big ship and ordered someone to send an edict to Chang'an without mentioning it.

"The emperor has a mind?" After Shen Ruyan waited for Shen Qianqiu to leave, she stood up and walked to Li Xin's side and asked.

"Hey, I used to laugh at Li Yuan's sons who were all good, but they were good, which caused the kings to compete for the throne today, but I didn't expect that such a thing would come to me in the future." Li Xin leaned his hands behind his back. said: "I know Xuanba's temperament, he just wants to be a Shuofang Marquis, and his official position is only to be a general of the expedition to the west, guarding the northwest for me, but now he says that he wants to be the Duke of Yin Guo, and he still wants to return to Beijing, I'm afraid it's because of the concubine." ”

"The emperor is young and strong, and there are probably very few people in the court who have this point of view." Shen Ruyan said with relief.

"It's that old thing that made me a prince, and the concubine was a little worried. Thinking that I have now set up Chengzong as the crown prince, she wants to let Xuanba return to Beijing to deter those guys. Li Xin shook his head, and his heart became heavy, although the matter was relatively small, but the things that could be represented behind it made Li Xin have to pay attention to it.

"The emperor is still afraid of these things?" Shen Ruyan said with a smile.

"Li Yuanming knows that the two sons are fighting, no, now the three sons are fighting. But why didn't he stop it, on the one hand, he was thinking about balance, thinking about his own power, actually. Isn't it because Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji are all his sons, the palms and backs of his hands are all meat, and the tiger poison does not eat children, although Li Yuan is hypocritical. But I wouldn't do such a thing. Li Xin did not explain his worries, but shook his head and said.

Shen Ruyan didn't continue, she was also a smart person. At this time, I also understood that there were many hidden risks in what Li Xin said, and this was no longer a problem that could be related to his own outer room.

She stroked her lower abdomen, but in her heart she was thinking about the time when her menstrual affairs came, during this time, she endured the rain and dew every day, not only her complexion was much better, but her body and mind also became more pleasant. Suddenly, she thought of something, and her eyes showed excitement. According to the previous habit, my menstrual event should have arrived a few days ago, but there has been no movement so far.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I have a concubine." Shen Ruyan thought of what Li Xin said, she didn't seek fame, but if she could have a child by her side, it would be considered her own thoughts.

"Really?" Li Xin was very happy after hearing this, and said: "When you arrive in Bianzhou, I will ask a famous doctor to come and diagnose you, if you are really pregnant, I will reward you well." ”

"Your Majesty, what you said last time counts! The concubine did not enter the palace, and the child born was surnamed Shen. Shen Ruyan looked at Li Xin, her eyes flashing with a hint of hope.

"What I say naturally counts." Li Xin said without thinking. What is the child's surname may be a very strict matter in this era, but in Li Xin's view, there is nothing, no matter how it changes, it is his own child. If the surname is Shen, he will have one less trouble in the future.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Ruyan is also happy.

"However, I will leave a holy decree for your Shen family in the future." Li Xin said with a solemn face: "Hundreds of years later, if the Li royal family is destroyed, the Shen family must change back to their original surname and inherit the Li family's incense." ”

"Your Majesty." Shen Ruyan's face was stunned, she didn't expect Li Xin to say such a thing after talking for a long time.

"There is no thousand-year-old dynasty in this world itself, and it is normal for Li Tang to be destroyed by others in the end, since he is the emperor, he must be prepared for this." Li Xin said with a smile.

"Since you are pregnant, you have to rest more, go back and rest!" Li Xin did not continue. Not all the founding monarchs are like Li Xin, who was very good to the emperor of the previous dynasty, sparing his life, thinking that Yang Jian is known as the Ming monarch, didn't he also kill the Yuwen family when he ascended the throne? Leaving a bloodline, not seeking to recover the homeland in the future, but also leaving a legacy.

Not to mention, with the return of Li Xuanba, the situation in Chang'an City has changed, Li Xin's dragon boat soon came to Bianzhou City, this day Bianzhou City was newly decorated, Zhang Zhenzhou, Wang Yaohan, Zheng Jingrang led the civil and military to pick up at the dock.

At this time, Bianzhou is not as prosperous as in later generations, but there are many boats, Datang encourages business, and traders from the south to the north have gathered in Bianzhou, or go north to Li Zhao, or go west to Luoyang, Chang'an, etc., at this time it reflects the importance of Bianzhou wharf.

However, today, the docks are under martial law, and Zhang Zhenzhou personally led the army to sit on the docks, waiting for Li Xin's arrival. Although the surrounding vendors were dissatisfied, when they heard that Li Xin personally inspected Bianzhou, the dissatisfaction in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.

At noon, the dragon boat came slowly, and I saw Li Xin with a beautiful woman appearing in front of the world, the gongs and drums on the pier were noisy, the bell sounded, and Zhang Zhenzhou and others stepped forward to greet Li Xin.

Li Xin slowly descended, holding Shen Ruyan with his right hand, Shen Ruyan's face was flushed with shame, but his heart was more happy, in ancient times, no matter how favored a woman was, but it could not change the low status of women, when walking with her husband, she was also cautiously half a step behind, but there was no such rule here in Li Xin. While this made Shen Ruyan happy, a heart fell on Li Xin.

"Ministers, see Your Majesty, Niangniang, Long live Your Majesty, Long live Long live, Niang Niang Chitose, Chitose Chitose."

Zhang Zhenzhou led many civil and military officers to bow to the ground, although when the Tang Dynasty met the Son of Heaven, it was just enough to bend down, but in the face of major events, the courtiers still had to abide by etiquette.

"Zhang Qing, Wang Qing, no courtesy, this is Zheng Qing! No courtesy. ”

Li Xin's eyes flickered, and his eyes flashed on the faces of Zhang Zhenzhou and others, but his eyes fell on Zheng Jingrang, before he came, Li Xin had some understanding of the situation in Bianzhou, and finally found Zheng Jingrang.

I have to say that the strength of the Zheng family in Xingyang is indeed powerful, Zheng Jingrang is not a big family, if it is counted, at most it is a side branch of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and he has been Sima of Shezhou together, but now he is the prefect of Bianzhou, which is a big improvement. Of course, what made Li Xin pay more attention was not Zheng Jingrang's identity, but Zheng Jingrang's mother, Zheng Jingrang was a person with shortcomings, when he was a Sima in Shezhou, because there was a soldier who violated his will, Zheng Jingrang was furious, and he was killed with a cane, which caused a mutiny in the army, and later his mother came to the lobby in person, ordered someone to pull out his clothes, and scolded him in court, which calmed the anger of the soldiers in the army.

"The Son of Heaven attaches you to the criminal law of the country, how can you kill the innocent for the sake of your anger and anger! If one side is restless, how can you only go to the court and make the mother of the dying years ashamed to the ground, what do you think of your ancestors? Li Xin remembered the information given by Jin Yiwei, and couldn't help but help but help Zheng Jingrang up and said, "Is Lingtang okay?" ”

"My mother is fine, and the emperor also knows my mother?" After Zheng Jingrang heard Li Xin's words, he couldn't help but say in surprise.

"Lingtang is a model in the world, and I also heard about Lingtang in Beijing. You have today, and you should be thankful to your mother. Li Xin looked around and said: "Zheng's style should be rewarded, pass on the decree, canonize Zheng as the lady of the three grades, and record it in the local chronicles." Heavy rewards from the Ministry of Officials! ”

"Obey." Zhang Zhenzhou looked at Zheng Jingrang with envy, but he didn't expect that as soon as this guy met, he was canonized by Li Xin as his mother, which will be a good story for the ages.

"Minister, thank the emperor." Zheng Jingrang's heart was excited, and he couldn't help but bow to the ground again.

"Haha, get up! I rewarded your mother because Lingtang really deserved to reward you, not because you were Zheng Jingrang. Li Xin said with a smile: "Get up!" Get up! Li Xin turned to the many ministers of civil and military affairs and said. His eyes swept around, and there were many onlookers around, and Li Xin had to be careful.

"The emperor can rest assured, there are many subordinates around him." Zhang Zhenzhou saw it clearly, hurried up, and said in a low voice.

"Observe more, there are people from Shandong." Li Xin nodded.

Zhang Zhenzhou was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was shaken, Li Xin just mentioned it casually, Zhang Zhenzhou suddenly knew that Li Xin's visit to Bianzhou this time would definitely not be as simple as inspecting Bianzhou, I am afraid that he had other thoughts, and his heart was even more excited.
