It's the New Year in the blink of an eye. Li Hongzhang continued to be ill, and Liu Xianen allowed him not to enter the palace on New Year's Day. This is not only because Li Hongzhang is sick, but also because there was a funeral in the month of Li Jiala, and the Huang family failed to survive the cold winter after all, and died of illness eight days before the New Year. Li Jingfang and Li Jingshu, two sons who have entered the official career as adults, have sued the officials one after another.

Naturally, the candidate for the crown princess announced during the Spring Festival Lantern Festival can no longer be the daughter of the Li family, but one of the two side concubines who will enter the palace half a year later is surnamed Li. But the father of the family is not called Li Jingfang, but Li Ying.

The crown princess is Ding Meng, the third daughter of Ding Zhenduo's family, and the two side concubines are one from Li Ying's mansion and the other is from Zhang Zhongkui's family.

Li Hongzhang didn't catch anything, how much fire he had in his heart could imagine. The mother-in-law didn't die at the right time, and let the two sons say goodbye to officialdom. In three years, he will no longer be in Beijing for three years, and his son will suffer when he recovers!

If this matter of the selection of the crown princess becomes a war, Li Hongzhang can compare with Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi, with a good hand, he has an advantage in the early stage, and he was caught off guard by a thing, and his luck was idled and he lost to the sky!

But in the great court, how should the whole country run, and how should it run. After the first lunar month, preparations began in the court for the prince's wedding. This is not difficult, all the history books have been recorded, compare the ceremonies and costumes of the princes of the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, and the various procedures that need to be prepared, this matter can be finalized.

Liu Xianam's eyes also settled with the dust of the crown princess and the New Year, and once again freed up part of his energy and allocated it to the Siam battlefield.

The Taiping army had already joined up with the forces of Luang Prabang, and was only a hundred miles away from the forces of the Nguyen Dynasty and Champasak to the east. The Fourth Route Army is now not far from Bangkok, just as it was in 1945 when the American and Soviet armies were on the European battlefield. They are all hurrying towards the enemy's lair.

Under the danger of annihilation, Chulalongkorn completely directed to Britain. Liu Xian needed to see if the British army really wanted to support Chulalongkorn, and at the same time, Chulalongkorn also began to carry out anti-Chinese moves in Bangkok, more than 100,000 Chinese with nothing were driven by the Siamese army to the Taiping-controlled area in the north, which greatly affected the Taiping's next military operation, but this undoubtedly also gave China an excuse to intervene. Now Liu Xian depends on the choice of the British!

The short first month passed quickly, and February passed a beginning, and Liu Xian didn't wait for the British to react, and Mr. Gong came out with something to draw his attention back again.

His sixth prince, Liu An, rode down on horseback. Critically ill. All of a sudden, the atmosphere of ZN Hai was tense, and his mother Concubine Li was crying and wiping away tears, eager to stay by Liu An's side day and night.

Liu Xian's heart also pinched, and then he was angry. Liu Ang fell off the horse, there is no mess of pickling in the middle, but this kid himself has no ability. Fourteen or fifteen years old, a half-year-old man, who can't ride a horse well, is very embarrassed by Liu Xian. But if you want to say in your heart that you are just angry, and you don't feel distressed at all, that's fake.

Followed by. Concubine Li's own birthday has also passed. This year's birthday was supposed to be a big event, not because of the whole year, but because of her eldest daughter, Liu Mengke, the fourth princess of Liu Xian. In the second half of the year, he will marry the Ruan Dynasty.

Liu Xian can let his sons wait until after the age of twenty to get married, but he can't be so domineering that the princes and grandsons of the subject country also follow this rule. From the ninth year of the new Qin [1885] engagement, eight years have passed. The fourth princess has reached the age of fifteen, and she is sixteen years old. If you don't get married again, Liu Xian, the concubine and concubine of the son-in-law of the Ruan Dynasty, will be in a string.

This is the same as the three princesses who got married last year. As soon as the crown prince of North Korea, Li Yin, got the official canonization certificate from Beijing, he immediately made a marriage application report.

It was also because Liu Xian did not press the baseline of 20 or 18 for the princess he married, so none of the women in the Ruan Dynasty and the Korean court dared to enter with the two sons-in-law.

When the third princess married into North Korea, Liu Xian gave North Korea a promise - the return of Jeju Island.

As one of the outer naval ports of the Chinese Navy, it will exist for a long time, but the control of the rest of Jeju Island, Liu Xian as a companion to his daughter.

If you want to swallow North Korea, a country that is about to cause chaos, Liu Xian will not use a trace of tough means. China's international credibility is more important than a North Korea. He will use his interests and bright prospects to make the North Koreans submit themselves, and he doesn't want to be scolded as Yang Jian and bully his grandson. also let her daughter also bear a bad reputation.

Similarly, for the fourth princess, Liu Xian accompanied the remaining shares of Hongji Coal Mine. The Nguyen Dynasty is the 'archway' that he wants to erect. In recent years, the Wehrmacht has withdrawn from the Pak Ki area, and the only areas that have not yet been controlled by the Wehrmacht are the ports of Hong Kai and Da Nang, and that large piece of land is not worth more than a stake in a coal mine.

The fat is all discarded, and a bone is returned generously, which will only be exchanged for the gratitude of the Ruan Dynasty and the people's better impression of China.

Liu Xian had already asked Qin Tian to calculate the days, if it weren't for the sixth child, the entire palace would have been happy until the second half of the year. As a result, Liu An's fall from his horse stained all this with a cloud.

The forced demand and care for the six princes continued until March, and the people were finally out of danger. The atmosphere in the palace was a little lively. Concubine Li had a smile on her face, and the fourth princess also smiled happily, and the queen breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Xian's son was fine, and he was also happy.

But this joy was really too early, just when the Taiping army in Siam had already launched an offensive against Bangkok, and the Taiping army had already arranged for the fleeing Chinese in the previous month or two. The vast area north of Bangkok was the territory of the Taiping army, and they fought and killed all the way, and those traditional nobles and forces of Siam were swept away, and a large area of ownerless land became the spoils of war in the pocket of the Taiping army. Now these 100,000 Chinese, at first glance, it is the pressure of the Taiping Army, but when we look at it again next year, these 100,000 Chinese will definitely be the help of the Taiping Army. The Taiping army itself was small in number, and most of them did not speak Siamese, and when they held the border of the Three Kingdoms and Chiang Mai Province, just as the Manchu and Mongol Yuan settled in the Central Plains, Chinese became the primary language in these regions. Therefore, it is not easy for the Taiping army's own people to integrate into or influence Siamese society on a large scale. With the help of these Chinese who took the initiative to work hard in Siamese society, the effect was completely different.

Liu Xian was about to watch the Taiping Army's offensive on Bangkok, watch the actions of several other troops, and watch the reaction of the British, when another bad news came - the crown prince was testing the airship in Nanyuan, but a small airship that rose into the air suddenly burned and fell to the ground, and the crown prince and Liu Ying, the third eldest of Liu Xian's family, were injured.

Even if Liu Ying hadn't pulled his eldest brother at the critical moment, Liu Sheng would not only have been scorched by the afterburners, but also burned out multiple bubbles on his body, as well as retreating under fright - he fell to the ground, injured his knees, and scratched a few pieces of flesh.

Liu Xian did not have the slightest suspicion that Liu Ang fell from his horse, but this time he had great doubts about the sudden fire of the airship and the sudden fall to the ground. He immediately asked the NSA to go all out to investigate.

"If I knew who dared to make trouble, I would make him regret being born in this world!" Liu Xian is very satisfied with his heir, has a certain ability, is kind and humble, and is not stubborn and greedy for power. Such an heir will compete for power with the cabinet and the National Assembly, but he will not turn the table in anger and start a new situation.

Liu Xian has always been cultivating his eldest son according to his own wishes, this is his twenty years of hard work, the person is gone, the ghost still knows how many years he can live, and whether he can raise such a crown prince again!

It is easy to ask for an ordinary person who has the ability and the heart, but does not have the courage to decide; It is difficult to have a prince who has the ability and strength, but does not have the courage to decide. Especially the prince's father is a monarch with absolute power. It is even more difficult for Liu Xian to raise such a prince.

The empress and the emperor had the first real quarrel since the founding of the new Qin state. The explosion of the airship frightened her, and she didn't want the prince to touch the airship again. It was something strange and awe-inspiring in her eyes before. Of course, Liu Xian was unwilling.

"Didn't you always want the prince to intervene in political affairs and the military? This is the path I have paved for him. Think about it, a hundred, a thousand airships are overwhelming, raining huge bombs from overhead, what kind of scene and power is this? ”

"No country in the world has ever had a formed airship unit. I'm going to be the first to use airships on a large scale. The crown prince was the founder of this army. When this army of airships shows their might on the battlefield, do you know how important it is to the crown prince? ”

Liu Xian said from the bottom of his heart. It's a pity that these very rational and long-term words have been defeated in the face of the burst of maternal brilliance of a mother. As long as Liu Xian stayed to keep the queen calm and calm, he would be defeated.

But it is impossible for him to lose the face of the queen because of a quarrel and because of the queen's opposition to himself. Over the years, Liu Xian has never worried about the palace in the court, and he has never been troubled by the concubine's competition for favor and the palace concubine's miscarriage and serious illness, as well as the death of the son today, the princess tomorrow, and the death of the mother the day after tomorrow, which are all the credit of the queen.

After Liu Xian named his son Liu Sheng, he deliberately flipped through the dictionary and checked how many words there were at the bottom of the dish. It was found that there were not many words at the bottom of the dish, and even fewer of them had auspicious meanings. But at that time, he didn't worry about these at all, and only kept these auspicious words as a backup. At that time, Liu Xian never thought that his son would run out of these words one day.

As a result, the queen was generous, never did pickling in private, and did not use dirty means because of her son's status.

Seeing that the words prepared back then were about to run out, Liu Xian was as grateful to the queen as he was surprised by his many sons. Therefore, it is impossible to lose the queen's face because of this dispute. (To be continued......)
